AUGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, Juno 1, 1870.
ROSECRANS AND MEXICO.
General Kosccrans has issued a letter to
the people of the United States in relation
to the affairs of Mexico, and speaking gen
erally of our relations to other governments
on this continent. He thinks that this gov
ernment has been very neglectful of its in
terests in connection with its neighbors,
particularly with Mexico, and proposes
the adoption of a policy to which he has
called the attention of Congress. This
policy is to begin with Mexico, and be ex
tended from that to other countries south.
Its basis Is to be the Monroe Doctrine,
which he holds to be a -1 elaration that the
nations of this western continent should
manage their affairs without the interfer
ence ot European nations, and that in ease
of attempted European intervention they
should make common cause and resistance.
This is straining the doctrine a point be
vond what its originators intended, and if
we were compelled to live up t > it would
probably give our government considera
ble business to attend to. We should have
to take the place in the programme of the
big. rich brother v ie- would have to fight
all the battles of the other brothers and be- j
come responsible for the support and pro
tection of t. whole family.
Having planted ourselves squarely on J
the Monroe Doctrine as he understands it,
the next thing which he proposes to do, is
to establish a system of internal improve
ments for Mexico, by increase of railroads,
immigration, and a better banking sys
tem, all to be done by American capital
incorporated by Congress.
Upon this subject he addressed Presi-j
dent Juarez, while he was Minister to
Mexico, and received an encouraging re- ;
sponso. He also received encouragement
from other influential persons to whom he
communicated his plans. Concessions are
to be granted by the Mexican government
sufficient to insure the investment of cap
ital. A memorial was addressed to Con
gress upon the subject, in which General
Rosecrans stated that the scheme requires \
no explanation, no complication, and the
endorsement of it by Congress only
amounts to saying that “Congress thinks
the rapid development of Mexico and her
prosperity so important, that it is willing
to authorize an organized effort of Ameri
can citizens to aid in the work.” This is
the project upon which General Rosecrans
now addresses the people of the United
States. This may appear all plain and
smooth to him, but it seems to us that
leaving the position which this country is
required absolutely to take upon the Mon
roc Doctrine entirely out of the account,
there would be something extraordinary
and dangerous in an attempt to carry out
his scheme of internal improvement as he
proposes. We should find it an expensive
and difficult job without doubt before we
finished it, to undertake in a foreign coun
try what our government has scarcely been
aide to do in its own territory. Then the
people and institutions of Mexico are of
such a character as not to bo entitled to
our confidence. We kept them from the
clutches of a foreign dynasty, but while
we were giving them support they were
robbing us and putting arms and supplies
into the hands of tiie rebels to fight us
with. It would be gratifying and profita
ble to this country to have Mexico prosper,
but we fear that will never be till there is
a new order of things, more honesty, less
faction and v illainy, better rulers and peo
ple, than exist there at the present time.
We would suggest to General Rosecrans
the improvement of-the morals of the peo
ple of that country as a preliminary step,
at least so far that they should not think it
just the thing to put a knife under our fifth
rib in return for friendship and material
aid, after which we might consider the
plan presented bj him.
The old t ltd in the “democratic party
makes its appearance again. The “don
key democracy” are being looked after by
the opposing taction. A writer in the Port
land Argus scents an attempt to sell out the
party. After airing his suspicions he says :
“Maine Democrats arc certainly interested
to look into the matter, and see to it that
their leaders are not managing the party
to keep it as small as possible, with them I
at the head, rather that to have it enlarged j
by the accession of conservative Republi
cans, lest they lose their importance and
their supposed chance for all the offices in
case of a Democratic President at the next
election.”
The total number of Indians in the j
United States, according to a census made ;
in 1809 by Commissioner Parker, is 978,-1
577. Alaska, California, and the Eastern
States claim a hundred thousand of these,
leaving for the Indian population of the
plains *,t a little over 970,000. The tribes
now engaged in hostilities uu.nber about
forty thousand, of which one-eighth or
live thousand are able-bodied warriors.
At the elections this year a new House
of Representatives is to be chosen, and a
choice of United States Senators is to be
made for each of the followig States:
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, and Nebraska.
THE CANADIAN ACCOUNT.
The Canadian account of the fight " it I
the Fenians is too good to be passed ovei
in silence. Great deeds were done and
glory won on that day by the volunteers.
The Toronto leader says :
Apparently tired of firing, or having no
ammunition, the Fenians advanced within
one hundred yards of our lines. They were
heavily-built, rough looking fellows, badly
uniformed and without discipline. No soon
er was it ascertained throngli the dense smoke
that they were bent on attacking us than the
the word ••charge” was given, and our gallant
force advanced with the bayonet. The
Fenians halted and waited for the onslaught.
“Uescrve your fire and give them the British
bayonet,” "was the command, and on dashed
the volunteers in double-quick time, cheering
lustily, amid cries of “No quarter.” In a
few seconds they were almost breast to breast
with the enemy, who began to waver, al
though their officers did their utmost to keep
them in line. After a few feeble shouts of
“Krin go Bragh,” and “Bemember our mar
tyred brothers,” which appeared to be their
chief battle cry, they slowly turned tail and fin
ally took to their heels and made for the Ameri
can frontibrwith all possible dispatch, leaving
arms, ammunition, overcoats, and a consider
able number of empty whisky flasks on the field.
Col. Chamberlin dashed up to the head of
his column, and rising in his stirrups yelled,
“Give the cowards a volley !” an oilier which
was immediately complied with, seven or
eight Fenians falling, among them a youth
of seventeen, gracefully attired in green,
and liolding a lieutenant's commission. Capt.
.Muir, with the cavalry, came whirling past
at a terrible speed, with loud cheering, which
was taken up by the whole force and echoed
by the spectators on the hill. Sweeping on
ward. Capt. Muir and his noble fellows over
took a few Fenian stragglers, who bittcjly
implored mercy. One trooper, a big burly
fellow, seized a wretch by the collar, lifted
him clean off the ground, and dashed him
senseless to the earth, to the great amuse
ment of his comrades aad to the infinite dis
gust of the s-jetim, who was pounced upon
bv an infantry man and conducted to the
rear.
The Montreal Witness, in eonimemling
the prompt manner in which the Canadian
volunteers met and disposed of the en
emy, also remarks:
‘*r*or can we omit pr:u*»e lor me prompu
tuile of the United State* authorities in ar
resting Gen. O'Neill, a precaution which nmv
paralyze the whole Fenian movement. The
plucky conduct of Gen. Foster in arresting
O'Neill in the midst of his army, is deserving
of special commendation.”
We have a communication from a corres
pondent who is familiar with life in Cali
fornia, which does not give a rose colored
picture of that country. He says: "I think
to-day Maine is as good a place for work
ingpeople, and for myself better than Cali
fornia.’’ There are many others of the
same opinion.
It is the general opinion that the leaders
in the Fenian organization have made it
the means oi “feathering their nests” quite
nicely, while the poorer class of Irish
have been their dupes. The last have
been robbed of their earnings and led in
to difficulty and danger, only to be a laugh
ing stock for the world.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The new novel by Disraeli, entitled
“Lothair,” is the greatest sensation at the
present time in the literary world. This
is due as much to the high position of the
author in the government of England
as to his well known talents. The hero
of the novel. Lothair, is the only son and
heir of one of the wealthiest and most
aristocratic families of Great Britain, lit
is an orphan, but with twoguardians, one
a Protestant, the other a Catholic. The
pith of the story is in delineating the efforts
which were made by the Jesuits to bring
Lothair over to Catholicism, by means
more subtle and persevering than honora
ble or successful, against which, however,
he would not have held out had it not been
for a lady who figures upon the stage.
There is a charm in the clear, easy style
of the writer, the occasional fine descrip
tive passages, and the power which he
displays over the difficult subjects with
which he sometimes deals, but interest
centres as we have already intimated upon
the management of the church functiona
ries, who did not succeed according to
their wishes. There are loves and mar
riages sufficient to make the volume pleas
