MAMMALIAN AND MEXICO.

1t seems to US that there is an unncccs.
sary amount Of fuss made in mapy quar-
ters over the military execution of Maxi
milan. The event was no different from
what was to be expected from the general
course of aG.irs in Mexico for ever so
many years. The uuvarying usage there
has been for the victorious party in their
intestine wars to shoot the leaders of the
vanquished as rebels-or at least as dan.
gerous euemies to the nation. What rea
son was there to suppose new rule would
be made to save Maximilisn's life ? He
knew what the practice was when he went
there and acted the old rule himself with
the greatest yigor.-and many captured
Liberal officers we're sent to their bloody
graves under his orders. He had no rea-
son to look for a change of p ;tice in his
case. merely because be was sp.ig Of
Austrian nobility. No doubt it was well
for our Government to intimate to Juarez
that it would be best for the Mexican
victors to be merciful rather than rigor-
GUS in their treatment of the captured
chieftaiD of the so called Empire; but to
express indignation that the intimation
was disregarded, is waste Of good pas
sion for nothing The European courts
may 60 into mourning at the fate of Max
imilian if they please; for they had hop
ed that by his means and French bayon
cts an instauration of kipgy rule would
be established on American shores and
Of course they are deeply cbagrined at the
failure. They were not at all troubled
in spirit when Maximilian ordered the
officers of tho Republic, which be went
there to root out forever, to be shot by
scores but to have him subjected to tht
same rule, when bis turn came, in theil
view IS deed for which the heavens
ought to be hung with black. The tall
that Mexico will be shut out Of the pal'
of civilized nations because Of the deatt
Of Maximilian is preposterous. Mexico

Nor DEEP ENOUGH Fur PRAYER.--A
good story is told of some raftsmen who
were caught in the late big blow on the
Mississippi, by which SO many crafts wero
swamped and so many steamboats, lost
their sky riggings. The craft was just,
emerging from Lake Pepin as the squall
came. In an instant it was pitched and
writhiug as if suddenly dropped into
Charybdis, while the waves broke over
her with tremendous uproar, and expect.
ing instant destruction, one of the rafts.
men dropped on his knees and commenced
praying with vim equal to the emergen-
cy. Happening to open his eyes, in an
instant he observed his companion not
engaged in prayer, but pushing pole in
the water at the side of the raft.

he; "get down on your knees now. for.

were in the west end of the car, and oul
electrical friend accidentally took his po

hind him and towards the eggs. While
the twain were conversing the train sud

tents of the basket came to an unlucky
end. His profession prohibited profanity
in the presence of a fellow traveller to

not incline him to albumiuous immersion,
and he was conscious of no disease that
required mucilaginous sitz-bath. Tx

but an earnest yolk fellow. For min
ute he stood motionless, except as he with
spread and tremulous fingers in an unde

about the seat of war, with the air of +,

THE CRops.-1he Chicago Journal has
au extensive agricultural correspondence
throughout the entire West. Commenting
on the crops, it says ..s.r aim
During the past week, in all our cores.
pondence we hear not single word of
actual damage done crops, though we
have the usual fears expressed that "if it
don't soon rain," or, "if it don't soon stop
raining" we will not have as good crop
as was expected. In the great wheat
fields of Southern Illinois where the choi-
cest wheat is raised, reaping machines by
hundreds are now, at this momest, (June
2Sth,) whirring through the golden grain
and gathering out of harms way one Of
the best wheat crops ever raised in Egypt.
We know of one firm in Southern Illinois
which sold the past seaso3, 10 six counties,
four hundred and six new reaping ma
chimes, and these, together with all the
hundreds of old ones in the same district,
are now at work. This item may give
some idea Of the magnitude of the crop in
that section. And gradually the army Of
harvestcrs are coming north, gathering the
fruits Of the earth as they come. and a
few weeks will tell the tale, if we mistake
not. Of a bountiful harvest that shall
make the heart of this nation RESPOND ia

Gen. siclsIcs' Prohibitory Liquor

The reply to the communication oil the
City Council Of Charleston, South Carolina
by Gen. sickles, requesting the suspension
Of his recent order in relation to liquor
licenses, was read OF special meeting OF
the Council on the afternoon Of the goth
nit. 1t was written by his Assistant Ad-
iutant General, and concludes as follows:
Il will not be forgotten by the Council that
Congress has especially committed to the
military authority Of the United States,
the duty Of preserving peace and main
taining order in these States. Experience
has shown that there are no more prolific
causes OF disorder than the free use OF
intoxicating liquor in numerous places OF
common resort, located among communi.
ties tolerating the practice Of carrying
concealed deadly weapons. The conse-
Quences are serious ut all times. The evils
TO be apprehended now demand extraordi-
nary precautions, and appeal to all classes
Of the population for any sacrifice Of mere
convenience or Of present indulgence to
prevent their occurrence. And your con-
sideration is respectfully invited to the obli-
CATION resting upon all civil functionaries
to assist the military authority in the
maintenance VI oluOIi pl NhS iiboiouo
suppression Of these sources Of violence
ndtumult. In conclusion, am to inform
you gentlemen, that in declining to sus-
pend the operation Of Par. VI. OF general
order No. 80, in its application to the city
Of Charleston, the Commanding General
is persuaded that more will be gained by
the city Of Charleston in common with
other municipalities in the Carolinas, by
the increased guarantees for the good or
der, sobriety, and industry Of the popula-
ton, and the consequent addition to
the general welfare Of the people, than
will be lost by the inconsiderable and tenn
porary diminution Of revenue derived from
traffic that, while ii may contribute
something to the public treasury, impoy-
erishes and demoralizes the population at
critical time when frugality, temperance
and decorum should be especially enjoined
upon all classes Of persons without any dis.
elimination. Very respectfully,
j. W. CLous,
Captain Thirty-eight Infantry, A. A.
