"Jonrnal of the War" entered up
daily by the editor; with interesting
papers i'll the departments OF agri-
culture, commerce, editorial miscel-
lany, &c.
Although not now sectional pc
riodical, yet it will be seen that the
productions above cited are from the
pen Of Southern writer's.

"A Noble Days Work.

On Monday last, the people Of
Richmond, Va, turned out en- u.usse,
by previous appointment, to repair
the neglected graves Of the Confede-
rate dead inferred at Hollywood Ce-
metery. More than 5000 graves were
renovated-many of them so much
sunken that they We're scarcely dis
tinguishable. We learn from the
Richmond papers that each grave
was newly mounded, the spaces inter
vening between them levelled and
cleaned out, and the walks cleaned of
rubbish and levelled. Seventeen
military organizations were repre-
sented, and the large working force
continued their pious labors. From
the long report Of the Richmond
Times we extract the following:
"Ihe work begun with pious zoal
WAS prosecuted with such enthnsi..,
tic and well-dlrected energy, that be-
fore the shades of evening descended.
more than two-thirds of the vast task
was accomplished. Never did the
Army of Northern Virginia, in the
hour of greatest peril, WELD the
spade and shovel with a sturdier will
or with more effect than these ex
Confederate soldiers. Never before
has the cemetery presented SO busy
scene, and more suggestive of rehec-
ton. Here, in close proximity, were
comrades-in-arms who had fought
side by side on many n battlefield.
Some were living; many were dead.
The hoMoi'eelS that We're visible, full
of youth and life and vigor, we're
adjoining and doing honor to the
M"nsa'"lS that, hidden beneath the
sod, slept the sleep that knows no
waking on this earth. The scene.
and the memories and reflections it
evoked, will never be forgotten b>
those who bore Il part in the DAVIS
proceedings.
Yesterday was appointed hy the
Ladies Memorial Association of Rich-
mond to decorate the renovated
graves with flowers 4 pleasing fca-
ture IN the proceedings was that two
United States soldiers present on the
ocras'on worked with zeal in the re-
storatlon OF the graves.

There is one gentleman temporarily

There is one gentleman temporarily
soiourning in the Republic of Mexico,
and enacting the part of an Emperor
in that God-forsaken country, whose
teeth must chatter with terror at the
thought of q great European war,
which must sweep France and Aus
trla into its sanguinary vortex. We
refer, of course, to AIaximilian, whose
brief career as an Emperor ends with
the first shock of the conflict in Er,-
rope. The exigencies of the ap-
preaching contest will not permit
either Austria or France to spare him
a bayonct or dollar, and he cannot
rely upon the fidelity of u single
regiment of Mexican soldiers. De
prived Of the support Of Napoleon
and Joseph, of Austria, Maximilan
would not have strength - prevent
the banditti and guerillas of ''his
empire" from pillaging the very car
rage in which he may attempt to
escape the country. AS soon as the
first gun of the impending conflict is
tired, Maximilian, if he is ii sensible
man, will collect the richest spoils he
can hastily gather up, load his pack
mules with treasure, stuff his trunks
With precious stones, and leave Under
the escort of the recalled French
troops. If he delays, his fa,e is
scaled; for Santa Anna or some other
huugry revolntionist, will gobble him
up IN the twinkling of an eye. They
have vile habit in Mexico of shoot
ing deposed Emperors and Presi-
dents, which is, no doubt, very wise
precaution against the mischief of
disappointed ambition, but is, never
theless, very barbarous practice.
Unfortunately for Max, he, some
months ago, issued most savage
proclamation, stating that it was his
purpose to shoot every Liberal"
who was caught with arms in his
hands. This pleasant intimation will
probably be remembered by people
who are not distinguished for the
Christian virtue Of forgiveness.
France and Austria having unscru-
pulously availed themselves of the
long civil war i'll this country in dis
regarding and ignoring the Monroe
doctrine, need not expect that Presi-
dent johnson will be slow in availing
A"A'Si ~ u ScIeIdl war III EUROPE
to establish the doctrines of this
country so far as the Monroe doctrine
Is concerned. We will, as Il matter
or course, press every advan tage
which a general war in Europe will
give us.
A protracted, exhausting European
war would determine, in all proba-
bllty, the fate of the ''sick man" of
the Western Hemisphere in manner
peculiarly satisfactory to the people
of this country. Richmond Times.
