Mr. Charles K. Caldwell, who has had principal 
charge of the Literary Department of the Rural for 
several months past, is no more. We have ueither

ing among the first of his das.- in other studies as

From Mexico. 
The N. Y. Commercial’s Washington special 
soys : - Authentic intelligence from the city of 
Mexico represents a remarkable growth of na¬ 
tionality iu that city oud in the interior. The 
French were becoming more unpopular each day, 
and their withdrawal would be immediately fol¬ 
lowed by the downfall of Mcximilian. The new 
dynasty is only maintained by foreign bayonets, 
and the feeling of the instability of the Empire 
Is increasing. The officials arc uneasy and dread 
a popular manifestation in favor of the Republic. 
The old factions are gradually abating their dif¬ 
ferences in a manuer that bodes no good to the 
Imperialists. 
The sentiment of nationality has been im¬ 
mensely stimulated by the foreign invasion, and 
by the hopes inspired by the restoration of peace 
in the United States. 
The correspondent of the New Orleans Times 
says that the Liberal General Diaz has been very 
successful against the Imperialists. The Liberals 
are masters of the coast between Vera Cruz and 
Tuspan, also south of Vera Cruz. Marshal Ba- 
zalrje write* to Mejia that the northern frontier is 
under the double protection of the Emperor of 
Mexico and the Emperor ol the French. 
Other advices from Mexico state that a revolu¬ 
tion against Maximilian has taken place, and 
that General Lopez and his officers have been 
driven from power.

Sad State of Affairs In Texan. 
The Herald’s special states that General 
Wm. Strong, Inspector - General on General 
Howard’s stuff, returned to Washington last 
week from a three months' to or in the South-west. 
Ho reports affairs in the interior of Texas li» a 
deplorable condition—much destitution existing 
among the blacks and whites. The blacks are 
willing to work, bnt the whites are not in a con¬ 
dition to employ them. Tho latter also univer¬ 
sally complain of bad treatment and violation of 
such contracts as had been entered Into. Bitter 
hostility to t he Government, and general lawlcss- 
now prevailed. So great was the ignorance that 
the whites scarcely knew Lho war was ended, and 
the blacks thought themselves yet slaves. When 
President Johnson’s brother was accidentally 
wounded by the discharge of his gun, a number 
of surgeons were applied to for professional at¬ 
tendance. Each one refused his services upon the 
ground that he was the brother of the President, 
and he was obliged to send nearly one hundred 
miles for surgeons, and died solely for want of 
prompt surgical aid.

ion of Attorney-General Speed ou that subject 
The latter replied that the decree constituted a

and makee them slaved. . Mr. Seward wrote Mr. 
Bigelow in November, Baying the decree had 
received the attention of the Government, and 
repeating tlx© opinion of Mr. Speed. Mr. 
Bigelow furnished a copy of the opinion to the 
French Government, but no response hoe been

France.— The Paris JWmc claims to have 
been averse to the Mexican expedition. The 
conquest of Juarez’s mediocre generals and un¬ 
disciplined armies would be a barren and costly 
honor. The establishment of a durable govern¬

should be bo ill-advised as to summon the French 
government to withdraw, the question Sb altered.

The Rebel Bonds.— The World correspond¬ 
ent, “Druid,” has re-appeared at Washington. 
He learns that confederate bonds are being 
bought tip by parties who are willing to take 
the risk of their assumption by the United 
States. Is the apprehension an idle oufc that 
this question may be a promineqt one yet in the 
national legislature, unless reconstruction be so 
radical as to destroy the hopoa of those who 
have great interests at stoke, and mean to com¬ 
pass their objects -if it ia possible ? Regard for 
the public tranquility requires that, the moat 
thorough preventive measures be taken to guard 
against not only the assumption of this rebel 
debt bnt also against the attempt to get it as¬ 
sumed.— JSxeharu/e.
