Important from Mexico.
The State Department received to-day some
late and very important news from Mexico
The latest dates from the Mexican capitnl
being the 18th inst. Everything indicated
the stability and pormancnce of the present
Government Of Mexico All the Government
works were being prosecuted with vigor. Mon
ey was abundant. Mule trains laden with
specie now travel on all the roads with safety.
Six millions of dollars in gold and silver had
arrived at Mexico from distant points between
the Sd and 10th of May.
The gold and silver coinage of tho Mexican
mint for the month of April was nearly half
million of dollars. The gradual departure of
the French troops will cause no change in the
condition of affairs. Ample arrangements are
made for an efficient military force. The
Juarsts have recently suffered several severe
defeats. Instead Of going to chihuahua, as
Senior Romeo announced q month or two ago,
Juarez has remained at IIl Paso. chihuahua
is occupied by a strong force of French troops.
The statements that appear in some of the
papers that Maximilian is preparing to leave
Mexico are utterly without foundation. 1t is
the opinion of those persons hore who are best
informed on the subject, that even a general
European war would not affect the stability of
the Mexican Empire, and European war is
regarded as by no means certain.
DEPARTURE OF COL ORR.-Our citizens
will regret to learn that His Excellcncy the
Governor took his departure yesterday morn
ing for his homo in Anderson, where he pur-
poses remaining for scveral weeks. The one
rous duties which he has been compelled to
perform here in restoring the State to her old
position have made it necessary that he should
attend to the recuperation of his own health
He will, however, combine business with pleas
ure, and visit the various public works in the
upper portion of tho State at Greenville and
Cedar Sprnga,for the purpose of making him
self familiar with their wants, and taking such
action as may be required in the promises.
The energy put forth by His Excellenoy since
his accession to the gnbornatorial chair has re
bounded in no small degree, to the benefit Of
South Carolina. Caroltnian, 24M
