It appears. from, that can he learned of the
movements Cl. he adventurers, that shortly after
Jett. Thompson, late or the Confilderate
service, had arrived at the hotel in this city, they
waited on him and solichtd him to take Com
anand of a nlibustering expedition.' The General
is said to have ;eplied that if the number of men
Taised was in his opinion equal to the cruergen
cv, he would probably consent to become their
leader; suit the visitors at once declared that a
"biro force would be placed at his disposal: :tud
that he would li`e joined by cavalry from Rich-
Mond on arriving on the Texas shore. The dep
litatiou then withdrew, and theviare now engaged
in the work of raising men.. This is one of the
xeportsiu circulation about the matter.
The filibusters, it should be said, are confident
f support front other quarters.. It is rumored
that General Logan is to proceed to San Fran
cisco in a few dity with a view to . 4ake possession
sit' a section of _Cower California, which was sold
some time since to the United States by the Mex

large force of miners, to work in the silver mines

is said to be a director.
IticE Cuor..—lt is reported that tha rice
erop of South Carolina will be a failure. A
Charleston paper says the reports from various
districts • "are very gloomy. The rivers have
risen to a great height hi consequence of the re
cout floods. The local rains were sufficient to
do considerable damage in swelling. them, and
we undiniiiiimi they have .been steadily rising
from the Immense fall of water in the up-country.
, The rice crop of the up-river planters is cona
pletely drowned out, and the g atest gloom and
despondency prevail."
Next to cotton, rice has been the.great
orn staple, and the limited area and peculiar con
ditions requisite for its cultivation render its
failure peculiarly unfortunate. There is a larger
importation of rice from the East Indies, but the
quality is inferior to the Carolina. alts grains are
smaller; and it is prepared in a much less cleanly
and careful manner for market.

not have hesitated ats b whose-influence to assign

There was no "Polish question" to make those

doubt or regret as to the step he had taken. The

ec _t—so beautiful - and bright, • that Abdul-Azi•z•
i,ireself must have needs eonfessed that even in
ids own , -Larid of the Sun" be tad hardly seen a
fairer sight. The leading thoroughfares through
which the procession t to pass, the Rue St.
Antoine, the Blue de RiVidi. the Place de la Con

~een tilled by a prodigiotis a,semblage of spec

of him. Ile sat forward in his seat, bowing and
trailing, while the, Emperor Napoli:6o shrank

to his guest all the honors of the day. There
were few or no cries, for people didn't seeffito
• latow what cry to raise. But the manifeSt eager
rlf.f.f, of the crowd took away all appearance of in
difference, and made the -welcome quite as warm
as if it had been more noisy and vociferous. The
pageaufwaf, unique of its kind; and recollecting
the strange elements of which it was composed,
one could hardly believe that the white plumes
and,glittering mail of the Cent Gerdes and flutter
ing-pennons of the lancers, as they dashed by in
the brilliant sunshine, were not some "baseless
fabric of a Vision" instead of solid French cavalry
escorting a veritable Ottoman Emperor into a
Parisian Palace. •
The above is all that we saw of this event at
our end of the town. At the railway station the
preparations had been on an exceptional Beale,
-and— the assemblag,e — of - notablespersonages-un , -
usually large. Almost every official parsonage
of distinction was present at the station.. The
Emperor had sent forward a whole bevy of .
chamberlains and aides-de-camp to greet his visi
tor at Toulon. The Viceroy of, Egypt. and his
suite went, to meet their Suzerain at Dijon. The
Emperor himself, with Pririce Napoleon, viis
waiting at the station,aud"shook hands" cordially
with the Sultan, when the latter stepped. out on
the platform, accompanied by hiS two nephews,
one of whom is his heir, and his own son, a little
boy of ten years old. The introduction of these
fatter to public and, above all, European life is, I
presume, a greater and more final breach of
taint I customs and etiquette than even the journey
of the Sultan hisuself•to Paris. At the foot of the
grand staircase of the Tuileries the Empress was
in wailing to receive her visitors, and nothing
tvas wanting to complete the rupture of Oriental
• tradition but that the "Sultan's wife" should have
,-tool by the side of her husband. But as the Pa
risians affirm. with what truth I do not Venture
to say. Abdul Aziz a remercL Harem for this
occasion. Certainly, if he has not left his wife
or wiN - e, behind Min, there was yesterday no Ws
liire to be seen of their presence.
I have scarcely finished the description of one
ceremony before I am called on to attend another.
At 11 A. 31. this morning the doors of the Palace
of Industry in the Champs Elysiies are thrown
open to the thousands and tens of thousends
holders of tieltets, who are privileged to witness
the distribution of Prizes to the successful Exhi

perhaps, hear the first strain's of Rossinra new

been going on for some time past with re

Ceremony of the Listribtttion of Prizes.
PARN, Tuesday, July . .2d: li97.—After many
)tar,' residence in Paris, I can safely affirm that
no more splendid spectacle ever met my eyes than
that which was witnessed yesterday, by nearly
twenty thousand spectators, within the walls of
the Palace of Industry. Everything seemed to
cuniffine to insure the success of the proceedin4s:
and never, perhaps, did h ceremony take, place
which more coMpletely answered to and exceeded
ail the exiiretations which hhd been formed re-
Tectinz. it. As you will have learned from my
previous letter, 1 was compelled to enter the
ht:iffling at an early hour: and h:id, therefore, but
little ow ortunity of noticing the external dis
play. But. as I proceedtA to the entrance as
>boa,' mu on my card of admission, I saw hOw
vast was the concourse of spectators
:dread} assembled out Ade, and how
hit ge a tidy of troops lOW been called
out, at once to preserve order and add to the
plendor of the ceremonial. On every side the
-nperb mounted guards of the municipality were
un duty, while infantry lined the entire extent
o f the Grand Avenue of the.. Champs ElyseesdrOm
the scene where the ceremony was to take
place to the Palate of the Tuileries. And
how admirable - eras the order and god man
agement which everywhere prevailed! All
the principal thoroughfares in the neighbor
hood of the Palace of Industry had been closed to
general traffic : and from. the moment you ap
proached. whether on foot or in a carriage, you
had only to show your-ticket, and you were im
mediately directed to the gate by which you were
:o enter. There was no crowding, no confusion,
and a lady alone might have walked into the vast
building, which was the centre of attraction for
thousands upon thousands of spectators, with
almost as much facility as she walks into her own
These thing's have bvomc quite an art in
France, where they are betterunderstood than in
any other place in ,the world.
The scene on entering the Palace of Industry
ices - one Which will not yeadily be forgotten by
those present at it. The vast central nave and
galleries were converted into a hall of - prodigious
dimensionA littcd up with a taste and harmony
of coloring and effect, and a convenience and
skilfulness of management which absolutely bid
defiance to criticism on any one of thosepoints.
I consider it simply impossible either to point,'
out a fault or suggest an improvement. The
whole thing was simply perfect, both in design
and execution, and the effect waa so exquisitely
pleasing and gracefal, that in spite of the long
hours of wa4ng, and the heat, which became at
last overpowering, the eye never wearied, of
gazing upon the beautiful picture, and turned
away at last from it with regret. . I have seen
all or nearly all the finest Halls of Assembly in the
world, ancient and modern, classical and gothic;
but I-never saw one on which the captured senses
reposed with more complete or fuller satisfac
tion than on that of the Palace of Industry, as
arranged for the distribution of the Prizes of the
Universal Exhibition of 1867. Such things are
evidently indescribable, but must attempt to
convey isome idea of the splendid scene. Its
greatest Perfection. consisted in the simple fact
that when' the Hall was filled with over 17,000
ticket-holders, every.• individual, almost without
an exception,was so placed as to both see himielf
and be seen by others. The effect of such a vista
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
can onlybelmagined. The material decorationfi of
the Hall were all that could be desired : but its
grand decoratiaiy!. l . ,, ,,,„who4lled,-it,
as thus seeif — Th — e - leit Was friatehles and
when it is considered that the assemblage was
composed not of one nation, however distin
guished, but of almost every nation under the
sun, and included, moreover, such a sovereign as
the Sultan anion!Y its numbers, it must he con
fessed that the feelings it was calculated to In
spire were quite as extraordinary as the effect pro
duced by it on the external vision.. A few words
of material description must stithee for a scene
never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
Down the centre of the hall were ranged rich
.trophies composed chiefly of the prize objects of
the Exhibition. Around these was thrown a ixdt
of flowers of extraordinary beauty, about four
feet wide, extending the entire length of the nave
from end to end. Nothing could exceed the
beauty of effect of the trophies inclosed in this
chaste and elegant setting. Outside the flowers
--ran -a- slig h tly-raised-platform-with_crinason_ear,
paling, succeeded by endless ranges of benches,
extending a short way only beneath the upper
galleries. The too great depth of the latter was
diminished more than half by a temporary parti
tion wall. so as.to leave all the spectators who
occupied them' in eight; us I hate remarked
above. The-galleries, in fact, ran round the -en
tire extent of the hall like a light and elegant
,balcony. They were hung through Out in front
with rich draperies of Velvet and gold lace, the
arches above being draped with the same rich
material. Suspended over all hung the glittering
vault of glass, with its immense span, the too
great glare of light and absence of color - being
Most skillfully counteracted by profu
sion of bencle-ri,//es of the most delicate hues,
floating in mazy indistinctness, and with rain
bow tints over the whole of its vast expanse.
This portion of the decoration called forth well
merited admiration. Round the entire circuit of
the hall ran trophies of the flags of all the na
tions represented in the Exposition, amongst
which an Apferican eye did not fail to detect the
Stars and Stripes. Above the standard were in
scribed in letters of gold the names of the differ
ent nationalities. Against the centre of the
north side of the hall was fixed an enormous
surmounted by the imperial crown,
beneath which was placed a raised platform,
handsomely carpeted, and on each side gigantic •
pillars, richly gilt. In front of the platform
stood three chairs of state, for the Emperor; the
Empress and the Sultan, with smaller chairs for
the visitors and suite. Immediately opposite the
throne were seated the Corps Diplomatiqiie, in a
compartment more richly fitted up than the other
portions of the sittings. The vast orchestra,
with its organ, and three hundred young,girls in i
white, and composed altogether ~O f 1.200
formers, occupied the Whole of the ground
floor at the east end of the building.
Such is a very insufficient verhal description of a
scene which it is impossible to realize by words.
Soon after 1 o'clock the sound cf music an
nounced the commencement of the ceremonies,
_ and presently the diflerent . groups of successful
exhibitors filed into the hall, headed by their
banners, and arranged themselves around their
respective trophies. By the time this was accom
plished the imperial party had arrived. Every
one hastened to his place, and a moment after
wards, amidst, r deep silence.which was instantly
broken by a hearty cheer, the Emperor appeared
uu the platform, leading the Empress, and fol
lowed by the Sultan, with his son and his two
nephews. Behind came a vast crowd, too nu
me.rouS to mention, amongst whom. might be
-eon the Prince Royal of PrusSia, the Prince of
WaleS and Prince Arthur of England; the Duke
of Cambridge, Prince Napoleon, Prince Hum
bert and Duke and Duchess of Aosta: The
Prince Imperial was present, dressed in black
velvet, with red stockings. and Wearing the
Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor. The
Empress, who was dressed in white satin, looked
exquisitely graceful and beautiful, amidst
a blaze of diamonds,and a white lace veil floating
behind her head. The Emperor sat in the cen
tral chair of state, with the Sultan on his right,
the rest of the party appearing, to take their
plates promise.uously. And now the orchestra
pealed forth Itossini's Hymn, a composition of
considerable spirit, with a fine , chorus and
triumphal march, but not perhaps rising, nor in
tended to rise much above what the French call a
recce eirewastorpy. - It was loudly cheered, but
not encored. Then came the reading of the offi
cial report, and then the imperial reply, of which
latter I have only root/ to say that it was /mil
untly peaceful. and Was most loudly applauded
;n those portions which I , ;ere most decidedly
pacific. The distribution of the ptiZes was, a!
long and somewhat tedious ceremony, relieved,
however, by occasional intervals of animation,
as, for instance, when the grand prize for work-
In/M . 6 houses was awarded to the Emperor, and
the little Prince Imperial, stepping gracefully
forward. handed the reward of merit to his
father. After thh distribution the entire party
promenaded round the hall, the Sultan walking
between - his hosts, and "caressing" his beard with
the easy air of a man who felt already quite at
home in the novel society into which he finds
himself so suddenly thrown.
At the breakfast given in London iu honor of
William Lloyd Garrison, Earl Russell made a
speech, in ivitich he recanted his previous errors
in regard to the United States :
• Earl Russell, Who . was greeted with much
cheering, said: As one of many sincere admir
ers and _warm friends, I beg to join lu this wel
come to Mr. Garrison. It Is permitted to me,
apd I hold it to be a distinguished honor, to join
in this tribute of admiration. It is the fortune
of our race that' if many evils beset mankind, if
the oppressor's wrong is often deeply felt i if in
.stitutions some times prevail that condemn
thousands, And even millions, to what seems
hopeless servitude, the Almighty has planted in
some breasts that heart of indignation against
wrong, that readiness to encounter any evil - in
order to deliver mankind, that by such means,
by men ready to submit to martyrdom, these
evils are done away with_and -mankind ob
tains a happier position. Cheers. J Now, that
spirit is found in Mr. Garrison. He felt for the
evils of his fellow-men. He at once devoted him
self to the object. He encountered all evils. He
nearly encountered death itself in the pursuit.
But he has happily lived to see the conquest of
freedom over slavery. [Cheers. I The shape in
Which evil prevailed in America and-in our own
colonies has been rightly described by my noble
friend as the Worst evil that ever afflicted man-
kind. [Cheers.] You will permit me to join 'in
another sentiment &pressed - by the Duke. of
Argyle—the hope that this occasion may tend tea
draw closer the ties of friendship and - affection
which ought to unite us to the United States—
[loud cheers.] We all know' that Unfortunately
the condition of mankind is- siteh that men seem
to seek any occasion of difference in order to

hatrod,leading even.to bloody wars and most Ca. 4

lamitous consequences. And I am afraid it is
little in our power to prevent theze . eatises. We
I. have to consider the relationship which exists be
tween tt - end the United States, although We
have different institutions, but having the same
origin and the same love of 'freedom' give us
ground for affection and regard 2 and should make
us perpetual friends, [Cheers.] I have my own
fault to acknowledge in this respect; because .T.
certainly thoughtlhat When the Slave States en
deavorell to establish their independence, and at
the same time to continue and perpetuate the in
stitution of slavery, the Northern States ought
at once to bare proclaimed not only their abhor
rence, but the abolition and destruction of slavery.
Distance and want of knowlege of the circum
stance made me fall into error in this respect.
[Cheers. I I was afterwards convinced by the
distinguished and eminent man who represents
the United States in this country—l mean Mr.
Adams—l loud cheers]—in frequent conversations
on the subject, that I did not render due justice to
Mr. Lincoln, who was the friend of freedom, and
not only the friend, but ultimately the martyr.
[Great cheering.] The noble lord went on to
acknowledge that the task of the Government of
the United States was totally different from Eng
landand-more-differentthan-that-of-the-Englis.h-
Government thirty years ago. He was now per
suaded that Mr. Lincoln had done all that was
possible. [Cheers.] He said the.animosities of
eighty years ago bad entirely departed from the
English people, and they could join in the cele
bration of the 4th of July with as much admira-.
tionfor the memory of Washington, for the great
men of modern times, and for the free institutions
of America as Americans themselves. [Cheers
and loud cries of "Bravo!"] He expressed the
hope that the friendship of the two ,countries
might be perpetual, and that the meeting might
tend to the better mutual feeling of two races that
should never be divided. [ Cheers.]

Probable Failure of the Cotton Crop—
The Filibuster Aloventent—Reported
Suspension of a Private Banking
House..
NEw OELEANg, July I.s.—Considerable com
plaint comes from the rural districts to the effect
that the recent heavy rains in the Southwest
have materially interfered with the prospects of
the cotton crop this season, the rain having
caused a growth of grass so rapid as In many
cases to smother the cotton and render the de-
Velopment of the plant impossible, especially
where it was planted quite late. The army worm
has 'also made its appearance in the upper par

the present infficationsnre that the crop will be a
partial, if not a total, failure.
Late advices of a private nature from -Texas
assure me that, owing to the occasion made by
the execution of Maximilian, a reorganization
of the Order of the Knights of the Golden Circle
has taken place, under the title of the - "Order of
Maximilian," and reliable information is in pos
session of parties here as to the numbers and ex
tent of the organization, which is stated to exceed
ordinary supposable limits. Certain it is, that
there are not less than thirty thousand armed
men in Texas alone who.rire sworn to avenge the
death of the Austrian Prince, and will, unless the
military authorities are extreme] viollant
rirake their - - way int - a — Mexico to conquer,
starve or - get hanged. In 'tide' city a
small organization has been effected, but
alone it isnot of sufficient numbers to effect any
thing. General Sheridan expresses the utmost
confidence in the vigilance and activity of Gen.
Reynolds to prevent invasion In any numbers.
The whole Mexioan scheme to avenge Maximilian
Is In fact n concoction of ex-Confederates and
filibusters. Neither the officers nor soldiers of
the United States army manifest any sympathy
with the movement, and nearly without excep

THE FALL' OF MEXICO.
Atrocities of the Siege—Outrages Com
mitted by Ylarquez.
Brownsville papers of the 4th give the follow
ing in reference to the conduct of Marquez; at the
City of Mexico
- The outrages committed by Marquez are well
known, among them of beleaguering families in
their houses and leaving them hungry until they
pay the taxes by him imposit upon them. It is
him who did the same thing to a young child of
D. Rodrigo Rincon, and placed a guard over him,.
who cruelly pushed away the mother who was
coming to nourish her child who was crying
with hunger. He was also guilty of placing a
child of lo years of age upon the fortifications,'
to be shouat by the Liberals, for no other cause
than being - the; sox of Minister Iglesia,
of whom Marquez has at least no right to com
lplain. .A widower, father of three children, who
ived alone with them on St. Andres street com
pelled by necessity—his children were crying for
bread—went but to look 'for victuals, but was
prohibited to be out after a certain hour, by the
martial law enforced by Marquez. The man
was-arrested, taken to the fortifications, and put
in the ranks. He told the officer the cause of
his being out, gave him the key of his
house in older that he might convince himself
of the l yutkof his statement; the officer threw
the key into the trenches, the man disappeared.
Three or four days after the stench which came
out of the house caused the door to be broken
open, and the three children wore found dead in
a group."
The Requiem Mass for the Stall of
Maximilian.
- •
[From the New Orleans Crescent, J‘u
A solemn requiem Mass for the soul of the late
Emperor Maximilian was celebrated yesterday,
by Redemptorist Fathers, In their Church of St.
Mary, in the Fourth District. The services be
gan at eight o'clock, and occupied about an hour.
Early as the sacr‘d ceremonies commenced, the
capacious temple was thronged, many in the
congregation coming from the most distant
parts of the city, and from the parish of
Jefferson. The Consuls of Austria, -France
and Bavaria, and other gentlemen, officially
representing here European interests and sym-,
pathy, were present, participating in the selein,
nity. A catatalque, resting In the nave and draped
in the emblems of death and sorrow, brought 'to
mind the tilleful tragedy that occasioned the
requiem, and the arrangements at the altar were
equally expressive in denoting the sad cause of
the fervent prisons that were offered. The Mass
was read by Father Alexander as celebrant,
assisted - by Father-Meredith. as -deacon, -and
Father DeHam as sub-deacon, In a most Impres
sive manner, and an unusually full and effective
choir blending their voices, with the grand har
monies of the organ, elevated devotional feel
ing to the height of sublimity. In the
enlightened multitude assembled within the walls
of St. Mary's yesterday there was not, perhaps, a
single man or woman who had ever heard the
voice of Maximilian or seen his lace. Those who
supplicated the Throne of Grace, in his behalf,
knew him not as kindred, or, with few excep
tions, as countrymen, and while a sense of
religious duty pervaded the congregation, It is
unquestionable that the-depth or feeling shown,
and the magnitude of the demonstration, had
their origin chiefly In pure reverence for the
memory of a prince preeminentl3rivirtuous,truly a
Christian and truly a' gentleman.
