Mexico has proFed m entire failure, may be
readily believed, as may also the statement
that the General is altogether disgustcd with
the business. 1t looks very much as though
the Government had sent them off on d
fools erraud. In fact, the recent management
Of the Mexican question, We are inclined
to think, will neither add to Mr. Seward's
reputation as statesman, nor achieve what
was doubtless leading Inrpose, the rescue
Of Mr.. Johnson's ADMINISTRATION from merit
cd contempt. The American people strongly
sympathizc with the Republican Government
Of MEXICO, and deprecate the Interference OF
the Emperor Napoleon to overthrow 1t.
Nevertheless, they are conscious that this
Interference has proved a complete and
humi1fating faflure to its author, and is re-
coenized as such Gilnre throughout Eu-
rope. They arc assured that the M~uroe
doctrine has been vindicated by the y .ans
themselves, and BY the triumph g.. the
North over the rebellion, without an armed
quarrcl between ourselves and France hav-'
ing become at I'll necessary. The Emperor
promised that his troops should be With.

The Presidents Tour

Inc freS1CenLS 1ONf
The New York papers are filled with details
Of the great reception OF President johnson in
that city on Wednesday. Business was to q
considerable extent suspended, aud the city pre-
seated gay appearance al day, hags, banners
and devices being displayed in a continuous
line through the route Of the procession.
Il most sumptuous dinncr was spread in Del
monico' large dining room. There was u large
table at the head Of the ROOM at which His
Honor. the Mayor, presided, supported on the
right by the President of the United States,
General Grant, Moses Taylor, Hon. Gideon
Wcllcs the Brazilian Minister ard Baron
Stocked, and on his left by Admiral Farragut,
VIM g. Aston, Hon. Wm. II. Seward, Arch
bishop, McCloskey, Hon. 4. ". Randall and
Bishop Potter In response to toast in his
honor, the President made speech which is
highly spoken of in the newspapers. The con-
cluson of it was as follows:
'Gentlcmen, your country is in your hands.
The issue is before you. stand here tonight,
not as the President of the United States, but
rather as citizen advocating the restoration OF
the Union Since | have been the Chief Tx
ccutive of the nation | have tried to discharge
my duties in the way that believed would
most surely tend to bring back harmony to all
sections Of the country. What have [ to gain
by any other course? | have filled every Office
under this government. You may talk about
me as you will. Men may traduce and vilify
me- Aendacious and unprincipled writer's may
attack me as they will, but all Of them cannot
drive me from what | fee! to be right. Great
cheering.
What have I to gain? From the Lowest Of
fee to the presidency Of the United States, |
have filled every Office. Who can do more
Ought not any reasonable ambition to be salts
fed with that? [ tell you, gentlemen. that
the summit ofmy ambition has been reached,
with the exception Of one thing. Will you
hear what that is? 1t is that, if at this par
ticular Crisis Of our country's history, finding
the union OF these States imperilled, | can be
instrumental in the hands Of the people in res
toring the Union and making it complete and
Dcrpctual-if | can do that | will be willing to
cxclailn as Simeon Of old when he saw the babe
that had been born in the maDger: Nov that
[ have seen the glory Of thy salvation, let thy
servant depart in peace. L would rather live
in history and in the affections OF my country
men as the one who had consummatcd this
great result, than the President OF be United
States forty times.
Speeches were afterwards made by Secretary
Seward, Gen. Grant, and Admiral Larragut.
The President and the party, with HIM, ar,
rived at Albany, yesterday, and were Welcomeu
by the Governor. The people in the towns all
along the Hudson river poured forth IN crowds
to greet the President.

Book NOTICE. -Southcrn Pictorial Second
Reader: New York: Richardson & Co.: 1866.
We have received copy Of this little work,
the pioneer Of the Southern University series of
School books about being issued under the
supervision of the Professors Of the University
OF Virginia. We have been so long tributary
to the North for the very rudimental matter Of
education, that it is refreshing TO find an OPP
portunity to patronize our own people in that
line, and if the little volume before US be fair
specimen of those which arc to follow, we must
say that much profit will be derived from the
change. There is not, as some may suppose,
anything of political Or sectional character in
it; on the contrary, it might be used, with pro-
priety and advantage, in any part Of the Union ;
but Southern scenes and Southern manners
have received in it that attention, which, either
through ignorance or design, has been denied
them in books published by Northern men
and the Southern child in using it, will recog-
nize scenes with which he is familiar, and Ian
guage like that which he is accustomed to hear
around him. The illusions to the negroes are
kind and judicous, and will tend to produce
feelings in the minds of our children, which
will do much towards the happy solution of
the difficult social problem they will have to
work out. A copy of the book has been left
with Messrs J. & W. j. Entwisle, for the III
snnction of tCachers

ALEXANDRIA,.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81.

The National Intelligence. says that one rea-
son why the Southern States arc to be kept
out is, that they will, if ever represented IN
Congress, unite with the West in moderating
the oppressive provisions of the tariff. 1t is
evidently intended by the Radical party to keep
the South in subsection to their interests--forc-
ing them to pay onerous taxes and to pay a
profit of one or two hundred per ct. upon. all
articles Of their consumption, for. TIE benefit Of
the Radical leaders.

In his speech in New York, speaking of the
Southern people, the President said:
''Thcy are our brothers. Cries Of hear, y
"good,' and cheers. They are our fellow
citizens. Hear, hear. They are part of our
selves Cheers They are bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh. Cheers They are iden-
titled with our history and prosperity in every
sense Of the word. Cheers We have had a
hiatuS as it were, but that has passed away and
We have como together again. They accepted
the proposition OF the Government, and what
did they say? Why. "We want to return. -
They said, 1--WE appealed to the arbitrament
Of the sword, and that arbter has decided
against us, and that being so, honorable and
magnanimous men, we accept its terms" APP
plallse And the query comes to us, "Will
they be acccpted?" Do we want to tread them
in the dust? Cries of mo! no ~ say this,
