- We refer our readers to the advertise
mcnt of the Florence Sewing Machine, to be
j found in our Advertising columns of this is
Sue. The gentlemen composing the firm of
Reyes, Estes 4 Co.. are all native Southern
N eTS, aud were officers in the so called u Con
Tolerate army. Speaking of the advantages
OF their machine, the Mobile Advertiser and
Register says that tits one of the great i'm
proycments of this progressive age, introduc-
cd July 63, from the benefits of which our
ladies were cut OFF during the late war. One
remarkable feature Of this great labor-saving
instrument Is its rcrersble feed motion, which
conducts the work either way, as the opera
tor desires, without stopping the machine
thus avoiding the necessity of turning the
fabric whilst enabling the operator to sew
TWO seams in the same place and to fasten
The seam at any point, and yet the mechan-
iSn Is aStonishingly simple, in fact is not at
all complicated Another remarkable feature
is the number and character of the stitches
On addition to the lock stitch used by all
INST class shuttle machsnes, this makes the
ao7bf iocI IHot and double knot stitches, with
as httle machinery as most machines make
lock. The double knot stitch is like the
common knot tied with two strings by the
hand, the two threads being so tied together
in each stitch that ii is utterly impossible tt
nip ID except by cutting each stitch.
Another remarkable advantage is claimed
for it. that of gathering and sewing ON rut
Re at one and the same time. Our ladie
have now the means of making rs mucl
magic ufiling as they need.

The Treaty IBetween France, AuIs1'
trin, Italy, spain and RngIaBds
10 Guarantee THaximiIinn His
Throne. -Nlf' Gb ID Nai,H4hai inol
New YoRK, Dec. 3O.-The Worlds WASH
ington special contains the following: VEL
Adyjces from the City Of Mexico contain
some very interesting statements with ref
erence to the treaty entered into by France,
Austria.Italy, Spain and England, to guar
antee Maximilian the throne. 1t is alleged
that this treaty was signed some sixteen
months since, before the war for the Union
had closed and when the opinion was uni
versally abroad that the rebellion would be
successful. The guarantee OF the integrity
of Maximilian's Empire, however, remains,
though it has not been deemed prudent TO
make it known up to this time. Recent
events, especially the diplomatic cores
pondence since the close of the ware have
made it, In the opinion of the upholders of
Maximilan's authority, desirable chat the
text OF the treaty should be given to the
world. 1t is understood that the nextinall
from the City of Mexico Yiri bring the
text,of this treaty, iwhloh Wil 5g pub Islied
in the Diario, the Official organ Fdl MaxiA
milan at the Mexican capital! The adj
vices from that quarter also state that Max,
imilian and his friends entertain no appre-
hension respecting the permanenee OF his
Empire. '-' ~
In addition to theguarantees of the West
ern powers, there are large material inter-.
ests at stake. One company, French one,
is building railroad from the City OF
Mexico to the Pacific coast, While another
company, an English one, Is building a.
road from Vera Cruz to the City OF Mexico.
Maximilian's supporters boast that these
two roads will be completed before our Pa
cific road, and that it will secure good
deal of the traffic of the East Indies and
Eastern Asia, which we hope to monopo-,
lie by the building of the railroad to the
Pacific. There are mining companies,
manufacturing associations, and other larg-
er enterprises on foot, both in England and
France, who will have claims on their re-
spective Governments which will induce
chem to insure the permanence of the Mex
ican Empire. fi'

they allege that Notwithstanding many
honest Fenians may attend to ascertain pre-
cisely what Col. o. Mahony proposes to do
the convention willyet be substantially q

Boston and elsewhere, which allege that the

message on the assembling of Congress in

the reasons why JEFF. Davis has not been

that he has already opposed his trial by a
military commission, and gives his reasons
therefor. AS soon as the necessary legisla-
tion is completed by Congress for the hold
ing of United States Court in Richmond.
the trial will be Immediately proceeded

The French Minister fatty contradicts

time everything will be in a most satisfac-
