TnE LAST or TpE MEXICAN EMPIRE.-Foi-
lowing the late news from Mexico-thas
the imperial army under Miramon had bseu
utterly defeated, and the city Of Queretaro
taken by the Liberals-we have now advi-
ces from Vera Cruz to the 18th, stating that
Gen. Benavedes on the part Of the Libsr.
als, was about TO assault that city. He
wa' only waiting to receive artillery for
the purpose. He hal . report also that the
Emperor Macmillan had been captured,
but this does not appear to be reliable
The previous accounts stated that when
Queretaro had been taken, It was found
that Msximilian had mysteriously disap-
pcared, and there 10 now no circumstantial
account Of his having been pursued or dis
covered.
It is probable that the ex-Emperor will
eudeavor to make his way to this couatry.
and he may avail himself of q United
States gunboat now lying at Tampico.-
Whatever may be his fate, it ia evident
that imperialism has made It's last stand
1t is now said that the order Of Juarez, the
Republican President, is. to take him alive
and respect him as q prisoner of war. In
view Of sll this, Mexico would deserve con.
graduation, were 1t not that the old con-
te,t IL likely to be revived between the ad-
herents Of Juarez and Ortegs, or other
chieftains for the mastery.

The Example of Wade Hampton.

The following tribute to General
Hampton Is from the Richmond Times:
Light upon the Intricate problem OF
"how 10 deal with the freedmena" has
broken in upon us from most unex-
pected quarter. %
Wade Hampton, Of South Carolina,
that Cheve!ier Baya.d Of the late civil
war, is destined to become rs distin-
guished as a sagacious. practical States
man. as he was hero when a mem.
Der Of that intrepid band Of great war.
riors, whose sabres once flashed in the
van Of the Army Of Northern Virginia.
ComPrehending At a glance bis duty
TO the whites Of South Carolina, he has
sought to rescue the freedmen of that
base class of white men who are intent
upon degrading and disfianchising their
own race. With that promptness and
sagacity, which Were bis distinguished
characteristics as a Soldier, he has rec.
ognized the vital importance of the
negro being advised, Taught and guided
by those who are still his only sincere
and true f'iends. Calling to bis aid the
gentlemen of the highest socia! posi>.
lion near Columbia, he is reported 10
have addressed the freedmen of that sec-
tion with great effect, and has forestalled
that class Of wretches who are giving
US so much trouble in this State.
In consequence Of the prompt action
of Wade Hampton aud Of the respecla-
ble planters Of South Carolina, the most
friendly relations are said to exist Le
tween the whites and blacks, and the
latter have declared their determination
not only to support for office the most
respectable candidates, but also TO peti
tion Congress for the restoration to the
disfranchised classes Of all their civil
sights.
This happy result does not at all
surprise us. Whenever the men of
character and substance at the South
have acted as General Hampton has
done, they have routed the "meap
whites" who are now corrupting the
negroes.
As early as the 18th Of July, 1868,
this paper commended the example Of
Mr.. J. l.. Marye, of Fredericksburg,
who pursued the course which Hampton
has Just taken. Tue influence of his
timely address and example is still felt
in its conservative effects upon the
blacks Of that place. They are said to
have recently rejected the advances OF
the disfranchising white renegad 8.

Women DooroRs IN ENGLAND

one OF the new lady physicians is do

work which medical men would never

that they would never have thought Of
