from Mexico. The steamer Florida left
Vera Cruz on the 18th ult., with eleven hun
bred French troops and full cargo Of arms
and ammunition. A French war vessel
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, from
New Orleans, with cable dispatch from
Napoleon, saying that all the transports
would arrive there in January, and that
he expected all the French troops to be
on board within three weeks after their
arrival. Everything indicates that the
French are fastening the evacuation.

journals i'm regard to the prevalence Of
crime in the South as IA result Of the hate

in this respect, the North seems to have
suffered greatly. There are now in the

twenty-ninc conyiet-, which is very
large increase since the close If the war
ltisalso stated that there has been a heavy
increase in the numbers sent 10 the Hi
nois and Indian peaitentiaries during
the same period The unusually large
increase in the number of criminals in
some Of the Western States is attributed
to the demoralizing influences, direct and
indirect, OF the war If it were asserted
that sherman bummers had had some
thing to do with this increase Of crime,
there is little doobt that the man
who had the temerity to make the
assertion would come IN Tor lull mea-
sure Of abuse; yet candid men at the
North have TO admit that the influence Of
army life has had much to do with the
increase Of crime, which is patent to all

dist Church, us against il, S64 For lay

be seen that the majority in each case is

and in the latter l6j less. A number OF

likely that The results above indicated wall
