when the ('ongresa will pass it, and
Sdo not believe it could be ratified

we can afford to wait, uand hope
that a returning sense of justice will
prevail in the councils of thi nation,
and that all will be again peace and

Southern Exiles Discouraged.
It appears that Ex-Gov. Alien, of
Louisiana, and Lieut.. Maury have
both abanduuoned imperial Mexico in
disgust; and we suppose that this
ae'tion on the part of the litter gen
lemen indicates pretty clearly the
final collarse of the' colonization pro
ject committed to his charge by
Maximilian; We have no regrets to
ex.press over this, though, all fuga.
cious Southerni gentlemen have our
hearty sympathies in their expatria
tion and wanderings. To tell the
truth, it rather gratifies us to see
this evidence of failure in a scheme
that, esuccessfully prosecuted, would
have in a very few' years emascula
ted the South of her best remaining
manhood. The war, has-depleted us
wofully already, and 'emigration
would soon have leftlittld of the true,
warm old blood 'here, iii the very
places that ennobled and enriched
it,. - We do not want these fair re
gions-fair'still in the midst of desos
lation--to be deserted by the prptid
races, that have achieved imuth
worth living for in despite of defet.
We do not wish these hallowed
homes to be surrendered to stran
gers-to the Yankee and the negro--
aiAd ourselves, as a people? oblitera
ted from the earth. No; we must,
all of us, determine to abide by-our
altars: and our heaths, though the
evil days darken all' our horiten.
It 'in a time for lptienee, endurance,
steadfastness and faith. In any
event we can ling to the soil that is
thrice hallowed by the dead 'that lie
over all its bosom, and when we
die we can mingle our dust with that
of our heroes.. We can preserve our
name. our fame, and the more valued
featntes of our, domestio and social
life; and, at the' worst, bve' catnot
suffer mdre tif remaining at our own
liresides, than, we woala sldrely ex
perience in an insettled; nomadic ex
iatence,,orrirl the fortunes of a strug
gling colony. Mexico is an alluring

foindly and then each one of her brothers arid
sisters, and taking her father's arm she left
the room and entered the carriage at the door
Mr. Lee placed Mabel by her side and bid
ding his wife and little ones an affLtionate
adieu took his seat within the carriage, and
was soontpeeding on towards the cars. Mrs.
Lee and the children remained standing at
the gate looking after the retreating canrriage,
until it was lost to view. and then with sadtlen
ed hearts entered the now desolate house.
They soon reached the station and shorily af
terwards were hurried swiftly along on the rat
tling ear. As the cars sped onward to theirdec
tination, many emotions passed' throgh the
minds of Isabel. She thought of her sweet Mlis
sIelppi home that she was leaning farther and
.till afather behind her with every rertolvlin
notiot .of the wheels, and that thme rose ij
the distance dearer and more beloved in the hap
py years tihat had speeded byiso-swiftly.. There
had her earliest years been passed, there had
ther glided away like a bright and beautiful
drean; life had there hrst opened to her view
clad hi all the radiant hlues that linger arounl
youth's bright morn and there too hau she first
learned to lisp her Maker's -name. And nowm
that distanci was flit splreading its envious bar
rier between her and that loved home, a thous
and hallowed associafiohs and cherished mnelno
ries came clustering around her hqart .anti caus
ing the unbidden tear-drops to dim the bright
lustre of her sparkling ifyes.
That evening about three o'clock Mr. Lee ar
rived at the Crescent citj and entering a cab he
drove with his datighter s to one of the principal
hotels of the city. At nilit he took lstbel and
Mahel with him to the theatre tiihere they were
delighted with every thing that they saw, for the
lights, music andrl beantifnuly dr.ssed ladies all
seemed like a fairy sceneto tlhem. Early the
next morning they took passage on the splendid

the Palais Royal. He maintained

learning ; all. even the least literary
laneruages of Euope iwero familiar
to him. His daily rations were al
most incredible in gnanutity ; judge
from the bill of his ,fipt -breakfast ;
four platet' of beef soup, four plates
of roast beef, tour plates of roast
veal and font "portions" of bread
To amuse his appetite and keep it
tuom grumJiting, ,he would' give it. fif
ty cents worth of pastry at twelve
o'clock. Imagine the Gargantua's

persons, who up to the present mo

are now far less incredulous. Their
views of the future are gloomy
