Correspondence of the New York Times.l
CITY OF MEXICO, Wednesday, Oct. "a
The EStdtette of yesterday published the fol-
lowing article as an editorial. 1t was signed
by CHARLES DE BARRAs, chief editor:
"The Emperor MACMILLAN left this city
Sunday morning at four o'clock. The
DidliO del EmperiO indicated in its Saturday
evenings edition the reason for the depar-
ture of His Majesty. 1t is seriously difficult
now to prevent the abdication of the throne
by His Majesty, and to longer delay his
departure from the country. The notices
which have been in circulation for the past
three weeks in reference TO his departure
have caused a most lively sensation in
Mexico.
We are sure that previous to the depar-
ture of the Emperor from this capital that
he turned over to Marshal BAZAINE the
supreme direction of ;r..-s, civil, military
and political.
The greater Ger of the members OF
the Cabinet WI. presented their letters OF
resignation las 4turday night, finally agreed
to withhold Jal action until they should
see how things were TO 60 on underline guar
dianship of BAZAINE, who is now Lieutant
General in command of the Empire.
We are sure these rumors are well found
ed and true nevertheless, no official an
nouncement has been made of the changes
so important to all. The Empire is aban-
doned-its Emperor a fugitive. Confidence
in the supporting power is destroyed, and
public opinion is clashing. The lives OF
the French citizens are in danger. French
influence is broken on the continent. Eyac-
uation is determined upon, and the finale Of
the work is reached"
This article appearing in the DEStgette,
the semi-oficial French journal of the capt.
tai and boldly signed by Gu. DE BARRAs
caused an immense sensation during the
whole day yesterday. The Church party
growing sheet, the PdjOni Verde, denied it.
Nevertheless, says Mr.. BARRAs to-day
'it is true 'es neSdad,'" while at the same
time, and in the same column, he has to an
nounce the suspension of his paper for one
month for publishing it. 1t is rumorcd
that Marshal BAZAINE has ordered the sus-
PENDING order, issued at the Palace and
couutersigned by the Project, to be DISC
beyed, and given the editors their option to
resume publication at will.

From the Germantown telegraph
Naturally, the farmer is an unseltish man
His labors are mostly out Of doors. His call
inc takes him much abroad, and enables him
70 mingle considerably with the world. Yet
looking at the very large proportion Of the
population embraced in his pursuit, and the
important influence exercised by it over all
our affairs, it is a subject Of common remark,
even bv all agriculturists themselves that
their social intercourse should be so much
restricted.
There is no other cause for the seciusive-
ness on the part Of farmers that we can see
than the threading In the footsteps Of their
PREDECESSORS" BE this as il may, there are
other causes operating which appear TO be
changing this for the better. Country fairs,
bringing agriculturists together from dis
tricts sufficiently near 70 each other to make
mountaineering pleasant and lasting, and
uniting them in friendly emulation in matters
and things involving their agrestie skill and
success. are clearly working 10 form more

BILE profession, produce a decidedly frater-
nizing and socializing effect. While these
local associations should not be too formal
and restricted, they should have an official
organization as better calculated to caase
punctuality at the meetings, as well as to add
to their permaneney.
On these occasions, the wives and laugh-
tiers of farmers should always accompany
their husbands, fathers, or brothers-n0t TO
participate, ofeourse, in the proceedings that
may take place, but to increase the agreea-
bility Of the meetings, and 10 share in the
pleasure Of these delightful interchanges of
good neighborhood. Indeed, if the truth
must be spoken-and we are ready to DO it
upon all occasions, especially upon such
one as this-there is very little social enjoy
ment in the world which is not refined and
made doubly enjoyable by the presence Of

AN EDITOR THANKING nIs STARS.

Mr.. GEORGE D. PRENTICE, senior editor
of the Louisville journal, Acknowledges the
sympathy of the press during his recent i'll
ness, in the following felicitous manner
''Our heartfelt thanks aredne to very many
Of our brethren of the press for their kind
notices Of US during our late Illness. Their
sympathy soothed and cheered and strength
ened US. 1t seemed to throw calm and
lovely light upon the world, and make as
wish to linger still among our fellow-men.
There is much that is beautiful and holy and
hallowing in sickness It's influences are
purer and better than those of health In
deed the feebleness of the body is often the
health of the soul. We zee and hear what
we may not in the season of our physical
strength. Myriad spirits of the air fhItter
over the dividing line between two worlds,
uttering to mortal beings the tones they have
learned in heaven. As we move downward
upon the sombre and mysterious pathway
that leads to the door of the tomb, we behold,
as from the depths of a shadowy well and
cavern, the pale serenities of floating stars,
all invisible in the glare and sunshine of the
upper air, and their sacred and blessed light
need never fade from the spirit"
