BY the latest adYices from Mexico, we
learn that Mendez was executed by order of
Gen. Escobedo, under circumstances of the
most revolving and barbarous character. He
was shot few hours ailer the amputation OF
his leg, rendered necessary by wound re-
ceived in battle. A court martial has been
ordered for the trial OF Macmillan, and the
general impression seems to be that if con-
victed he will suffer the penalty prescribed
by military usage. The Prussian Minister
has engaged counsel TO defend him. Maxi
milan, after his surrender, issued procla-
nation, complimenting his troops for their
bravery. He also pays his respects to the
Emperor of France, and charges him with
cowardly and UNANIMOUSLY abandoning him
at the demand of the United States. He
says in this document
"When the news of my fall and death
reaches Europe, all the monarchs Of Charlie
magne's country will demand of the Napo.
leon dynasty an account of my blood, and
of the German, Belgian, and French blood
shed in Mexico. Before the whole world
Napoleon the Third will be covered with
shame from head to foot. To-day he has
already seen his Majesty the Emperor OF
Austria, my august brother, praying for my
life to the United States, and myself u pri-
soner of war in the hands of the Republican
Government and with my crown and my
heart torn in piece"
1t is to be hoped that the lesson which
Macmillan and the crowned heads of Eu-
rope have received at the hands of the lib
erty-loving people of Mexico, will not pass
UNDECIDED. For years European monarchs
have we'll understood that the Government
of the United States could never permit
an empire 10 be established on this CONT
nent, but taking advantage of our recent
strife, they sought 10 accomplish that object,
while the powerful arm of the United States
could not be interposed to prevent its con
summation. But they met with resistance
from the Mexican people far beyond VIVA
they thought them capable of offering, an(
the result is that the Empire has failed, AMI
/ Republican liberty triumphed. The decGra

A MURDER VALUED AT $25O.-A reverend
miscreant, who was guilty some timo ago,
in the western part of this State, of ac-
tually whipping his child to death, has just
got comfortably through his second trial, and
is to be set at large on the payment of $3.50
This is indeed making the law most lament
cent child by the most cruel and revolving
process is coolly assessed, in civilized and
Christian community, at $3.50. Through
some strange and unfortunate laxity in the
present system of administering justice, it
is seldom that a murderer can be convicted,
unless the friends of the victim exert them
selves diligently to that end 1t is some
thing marvellous, however, that in case
so aggrayated us that referred to the common
instincts of humanity did not lead to imme-
diate conviction, and the infliction of IL
punishment OF appropriate severity.-N y.

LETTER FROM GENERAL LONG,
STREET..
HE uNITEs WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN
THE WORK OF RECONSTRUCTION.

The following interesting correspondence
appears in the New Orleans Republican:
NEW ORLEANS, May 10, 1857
General James L0ngstreet:
GENERAL: In your admirable letter Of the
9th ultimo, you remark that 'your efforts at
reconstruction will be in vain and useless un.
less we embark in the enterprise with the
sincerity of purpose which will command
success
The spirit which inspired the above para
graph, together with the fact that thousands
of brave soldiers are still ready to follow
their leader, wherever he may see fit TO call
them, has emboldened me to extend to you
an invitation to attend mass meeting in
Lafayette Square tomorrow evening, at
which the Hon. Henry Wilson, distln-
guished leader in the Republican party, will
address the citizens of New Orleans
AS soldiers, we were opposed to each other
during the late war; but as citizens may we
not wisely unite in efforts to restore Louisi-
ana TO her former position in the Union
through the party now in power, and which
in all probability will retain power for
many years 10 Gomez If you accept, I shall
be glad to hear your views on the condition
of public affairs.
Respectfully yours, SC,
JOHN M. q. PARKER

the vicinity of NaumDurg, Germany. They
settled about the middle of April in groups
of from twenty to thirty in wood, and re-
NAMED there eight days. During this time
they held a sort of musical tournament, two
BIRDS singing soloalternately,a and the perform
ance being occasionally varied by a chorus
IN which all the birds participated. 1t is
positively asserted by ornithologists who
were present at this singular contest, that
there was not single female bird among
the singers. Every now and then the birds
moved in body TO another part OF the wood,
as ii to test its acoustic properties.

nal, overwhelming rebuke than In the North
Carolina election. A very decided majority

pie are White by large majority; of her

Her population is almost wholly native to
her soil and in 1860 but 33l, ,OSl were slaves
out of a total of 992,6G Yet, in spite of a
damaging feud among the Republican lead
ers (Whites) she has just rolled up $4,000
majority for Convention, and at the same
time elected large majority of Radicals as
delegates.
That Convention-represen no caste,
no faction, but the whole People-will soon
meet, and will waste little time in framing a
Constitution adapted to her wants and needs,
securing Equal Rights to all her citizens re-
gardless of color. A Governor and Legisla-
ture will thereupon be elected, and represen-
tatives chosen to and welcomed to seats in
both Houses of Congress. That done, ia
