WAR INEyITADLE.-The Courier
des Esats Jnis, the French paper in
New York, has a long article favor
ing the idea of a general European
war. We translate the opening para
graph, as follows:
"It has been seen, by several pre-
ceding articles, that We consider an
European war, alta period more Or
less distant, as inevitable. Unless
France has lost all interest of her
dignity and her interests, France
must be drawn into it. 1t is probable
that the explosion of q struggle every
one foresees will not occur with the
wear Just commenced. The French
Government will leave nothing un-
done to prevent universal Exposition
with which so many interests are
concerned-from being troubled by
European disorders. No doubt other
countries, like Russia and Prussia,
might make a commencement, attack
ing US before We were prepared; but
they themselves have not attained
the degree of strength they believe
necessary to cope with us and unless
unforeseen events occur, we may con-
slider peace certain for the year IF we
may give the name of peace to a fe-
verish state of things that is ruin to
the people, and which scatters every
where well-founded anxieties. y

TIE DEFEAT OF TIE MILITARY
SArRApY B1LL.-By reference to our
telegraphic columns, it will be seen
that the bill for reducing the South
to the condition, of territorial districts,
under the command Of military
officers, has failed, and is absolutely
negativcd for this Congressional ses-
sion.
The bill was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Williams, of Pennsyl-
vania, and was referred to the Com
mittee on Reconstruction. 1t was
reported on favorably by Mr.. Stevens,
from that committee, and was passed
bv the House in substantially the
same form as swhcn introduced. When
sent to the Senate, Mr.. Sherman, of
Ohio, proposed a substitute for the
bill which was finally adopted. The
substitute was then returned to the
House for concurrence; and, when
that body refused, on yesterday, to
concur, a Committee of Conference
was requested in the customary man
ner. This the Senate refused to grant;
but, had they acceded to the request,
the result would, in effect, have been
the same. Only twelve days now re-
main before the expiration of the
term of the present Congress; so that,
unless the Committee Of Conference
could have reconclied the differences
between the Senate and House by this
evening, the President would not have
been compelled either to approve the
bill, to veto it, or to allow it to pass
by default, as the Constitution de-
clares; eff any bill shall not be re-
turned by the President within ten
days, Sundays excepted, after it shall
have been presented to him, the same
shall be a law, in like manner as il
he had signed it, ua.z less the Congress
by their Adjournment prevent ats re-
tugu, an wAich case 1T shall not be q
lGa0."
Stevens and his supporters will not
however, give up their plans. They
will attempt to carry them out imme
diately after the opening of the mex
Congress; but it is hoped that there
will be sufficient moderation ant
conservatism in the Senate to defea
once moro measure which, while i
places the South under the control O
irresponsible military commanders, il
indirectly aimed, as well, at th'
liberties and security ofthe Northern
and Western States.

A GREAT MIsTAKE.-We now and
then, says the Louisville Courier, see
expressions which imply that the South
alone is to be affected by the various
schemes ofreconstluction, and accord
ingly, that she should be allowed to
make up her mind in the case free
from the influence of discussion else
where. This is a-great mistake. The
whole country is to be affected by the
overthrow of the equality of the States
which the various schemes of recon-
struction equally involve while Mary
land and Kentucky and Missouri and
Tennessee are to be affected also by
the immediate sacrifices which the
schemes impose. Every citizen of the
country, no matter where he dwells,
is deeply interested in the rejection
of these schemes by the South, and,
if he is sensible of his own interest is
bound to exert himself to secure their
rejection. The exertion is not an
impertincnce or liberty but duty.
lie cannot neglect it without culpa-
bility:

FOREIGN EaIIGRATIoN.-As was
stated in a former communication,
His Excellency the Governor he ap-
pointed Gen. Wagner of Charleston,
the Commissioner of Emigration, and
that gentleman will doubtless enter
upon the discharge of his duties at
once. There is no officer of the State
who is now invested with graver re-
sporsibilitics or who possesses the pow
CT of making himself felt in every
household, more than the Commission
.er of Emigration. Much, however,
depends upon the manifestation of
the influences that may be brought, to
bear upon both the planter and the
emigrant, to create that reciprocal in
terest which is essential to the success
ofthe undertaking. On the one hand,
it will become the duty Of General
Wagner to prepare publications in
various languages which shall embody
facts that are attractive to the emf
grant, and will dispose his mind to
seek the fertile fields of the South
where a market is at his door, in
preference to the broad and distant
praries of the West; and by his agents
to cause these to be circulated, if prac-
ticable, not alone in the interior of Eu-
rope, but on every ship which leaves a
foreign port freighted with those who
are to cast their Iotbin thefuture with
the people ofthe New World. 1t will be
his task also to ocounteract theinfuences
gilmore powerful rivals from the North
and West; to provide, if necessary,
free transportation across the ocean,
and to offer inducements that will
prevail.
On the other hand, the inhabitants
of the State must second the efforts oi
the Commissioner. Without their co.
operation, his office will be fruitless.
They must enable him to declare a
home and abroad, what is the will ano
ability of the State with reference t.
the foreign emigrant, To this end
meetings ought to be held at once il
every Court House, at which, eplan
; ters Shall unite in offering lands, facili
ties and employment to the strange
upon our shores.
That community in South Caroline
which takes the lead in this move
ment, and shows the largest amoun
of publice spirit, will soonest reap thu
benefit. Its all important that ac
ton shall be taken at once, for TIM
is short, the appropriation is small
and Gen. Wagner desires to proceed
with his duties at the earliest possible
momcnt.-South CarOlaniaa,.

FROM MEx1co.-The Vera Cruz
correspondent of New York Herald,
SAYS "Maxmillian will leave the City
of Mexico Immediately, or has already
left, for point from whence he will
embark for Europe. The French are
continuing the preparations for embar-
kation, and look for the arrival OF a
large feet of transports. PorGrio
Diaz is to occupy the City Of Mexico
after its evacuation by Marshal Ba-
zaine, and he is now approaching the
capital. Marquee wants money, and
demands sixty thousand dollars from
the Mexican merchants Of Vera Cruz.
That Project suggests that American,
English, and other merchants be
levied upon as we'll as Mcxicans.

ed 10 leave the country"

at the haad of Mexican affairs ; and
whatever the success he may meet
with, he must be accorded the credit
due to a man who has striven con-
scientiously to fulfil every obligation
which he had accepted, OF which had
devolvcd upon him. He is a pure
minded and cultivated gentleman, but
he is not man Of any vigor or force
of character, and certainly not the
man to rule turbulent Mexico. ~
There is no doubt that the whole
scheme of establishing an Imperial
! Government in Mexico was based by
the Emperor NAPOLEON upon the as
sumption that the Confederate States
would succeed in establishing. their
independence. When the Confed-
eracy fell, the Imperial scheme fell
withit. The Emperor NAPOLEON had
it in his power to ensure the stability
of MAxIMILIAN's Empire. He neg.
lected the opportunities given to him:
and, as a consequence, his Mexican
policy has entirely and absolutely
failed.-Charzeston Mercury.

TIE MEXICAN SITUATIoN.-Tl

TIE MEXICAN SITUATIoN.-The
Mexican correspondents of the New
York papers give full particulars of
the condition of political and military
affairs in Mexico, up to the 81 instant;
and, although their statements must
be taken with due allowance, they
may enable ."outer barbarians" to
form an idea of what is actually oc-
curringin that land of rival claims
and interested patriotism.
1t is certain that the French expe-
ditionary force is being sent home,
and it was expected that the last man
would be shipped before the first Of
March. French residents who may
desire to do so, are permitted to re-
turn to Europe in the troop-ships,
but BAzAINE announces that all
Frcnchmen who join either Mexican
army will be denationalizcd. BA-
zA1SE is apparently more friend of
JUAREz than of MAMMALIAN, and it
is fortunate for the Emperor that his
scheuing interference will soon be at
an end,
Whether the Emperor MAx1M1L-
IAN will beable to maintain his ground
after the departure Of the French,
cannot with certainty be predicted;
although there is every probability OF
his immediate departure. 1t is said
that he was shipping to Europe, or
disposing of, all his personal property;
but, on the other hand, both MARQUEE
and MIRAMoN are carrying on aseries
of military movements against the
Juarists, which promise to be attended
with success. There seems to be no
doubt that MIRAMoN has driven the
Liberals in confusion from Zacatecas,
and there is probability that he has
captured JUAREz himself; but then it
is contended that the chiefs who ad-
here to the Empire are, by their forced
loans and impressments, setting the
minds of the people against them, and
that their desertion of their levies will
soon compel them to seek safety in
flight. It is also said that popular
opinion was becoming unanimous in
favor of liberal native Government;
but it is we'll known that popular
opinion" in Mexico is not worth
straw, except as an expression of be-
lief that this or that party has gained
for a time the ascendancy,
JUAREz has forbidden all traffic
between the Republic of Mexico and
the powers of Europe which recog-
nizes MACMILLAN, and is practicing
all the airs and graccs which dictators
known so well how to assume. In
the meanwhile MAMMALIAN has not
vet left Mexico; and it is absolutely
certain that he will, in his every act,
be guided by an earnest desire to do
the best in his power for his tottering
Empire. lie is, perhaps, the only |

QUEEN VIoToRIA.-Priyatc letters
received from England confirm mel
ancholy rumors which have long been
in circulation respecting the state of
mind af the Queen. Insanity is, as
is we'll known, always lurking in the
Guelph blood, and'none can tell what
calamity, physical or other, may at
any time urge it into activity. There
have been several. occasions when it
has been supposed thatthe critical mo-
ment was imminent, and that the regal
function must needs be- rclegated,
temporarily at least, to regency.
Happily, in each instance, SO far, her
Majesty has rallied, and the terrible
necessity has receded. Those, how
ever, who know most of the case, are
of the opinion that the postponement
can never be expected to be perma-
nent, and that an attack may come at
any moment which, lucid intervals,
perhaps, as in case of George ILL,
may attend Victoria to her grave.
The Prince of Wales is now quite
mature enough to trusted with such
reins of government as English SOW
ereigns are permitted to handle, but

of this act. The most melancholy cir
cumstanco connected with the passage
of this bill in the Senate, is the fact
that the venerable, able and patriotic
Senator from Maryland, Mr.. Reverdy

it. Mr.. JOHNSON never realized the
shame of the act until his hand was

Great men are never appreciated during
