PAltf!,, Tuesday, July 2.3 d, 18G7.—1 continue
illy atroll through, some of the external portions
of the Exhibition, re-commencing from the Rus
sian carriage department, which I had just reached
in my last letter. Close adjoining this stands
that very remarkable illustration of Russian
peasant or farm life, known as the fsba , or dwell
ing -house
of the now emancipated tiller of the
soil in the Empire of the Czar. And here a fine
opportunity presents itself for drawing
one of those tornparative views between
the condition and progress of the inhabitants
of various regions of the earth for which the
present Exhihition is so conspicuously adapted.
I lately noticed one of the Homes of the Far
West, which has been transported to the banks of
the Seine; and now hero we have a parallel phase
Of the social life of the Far Northeast. Such an
abode as this Russian Ista seems to be just about
on a par, materially speaking, with that of the
American Western Farmer on the verge of the
prairies. Both are in a sense pioneers, and both
are specimens of the developing elements of two
mighty Empires. And yet how vast is the con
trast which the two exhibit in all that regiirds
the intelligence and mental culture of : the re
spective inhabitants and their countries! The
American House is admirably calculated, as I re
marked at the time, to give an idea of the "inner
life" of the people, and, without repeating what
I then said, conveys, by its whole aspect, a high
idea of the intellectual and moral well-being of
the people it represents, as well as 01 their tastes
and material prosperity. Let us now enter the
Russian Farm-house and see what we find there.
And. in the first place, there is much to admire:
The dwelling, which is of course entirely
of wood,' the yellow gipine, is admirably
put together. The timbers arc laid one upon an
other in their round shape, the ends being deeply
notched, together. and the seams caulked like
those of a ship. The work is first-rate, and of
unexceptionable solidity. A good deal of clever
ornament is added_ in the shapes of carving. com
bined with those quaint-lookingrhigh-pitehed
gables, which, as I before remarked, attracted at
once so much attention to the wooden facade of
the Russian section, inside : the building. The
general arrangement, too, of the Russian farm
house is excellent, .and doubtless thoroughly
adapted to the rude climate for which It is built.
It consists of two structures, with a spacious
court bet Ween, but all under the same roof, so
that in winter the inhabitants and all their re
quirements are snugly covered in. On the right
stands the dwelling-house proper, the' inhabited
rooms being all up stairs. In the,court are stowed
away all the - farming apparatus and implements,
amongst which I remember a McCormick's reap
ing machine, certainly by far the most striking evi
-4encsel intelligence-to be -found on the premises.
The left hand structure appears to be devoted to
' a large store for winter provisions, essentially
necessary, no doubt, in such a climate. Now in
all this there is a'great look of material and sub
stantial prosperity and comfort, and even wealth.
'The wood-work is thick, good and warm; there
is an immense stove in the common sitting-room,
;Ls well as a comfortable bed. The jointing of the
doors and windows is especially good, and so are
the locks and hinges. There are some specimens
cf ornamental trunks and cases which are Curl- .
cola and not devoid oc Loge. The harness for the
horses. in the court-yard, is well made; and there
arc some famous winter over-coats for the men,
made of wash-leather outside, and lined with
common furs. capable of setting any
weather'at defiance. In the store-loom is set out
a large and curious collection of dry fish, and
hung all round are the gala clothe..sof the owners,
made of the gayest colors, and with a profusion
of tawdry ornaments which would satisfy even
a negro's love of finery. A collection of
dren's toys complete, so far, this picture of Rus
sian life. But when we look round for some in
dicatione of intellectual development, what do
we find? Two portraits (and such portraits!) of
the'Etureand Empress; and, neressi' i5.=,.":1.17..
precise y the same style (I felt, first, some
doubt as . to which was which), . that
of the Virgin. followed by' a series of
religious prints of the coarsest and rudest
description, and diplaying what cannot be
called less than the grossest superstition;
!devils, saints and sinners jumbled together in
every grotesque situation imaginable. Around
the walls were hung pictures of giant-slayers and
similar subjects, 'as grossly executed as they wete
absurdly childish. Yet all these things were
evidently placed there as indications of the peo
ple's taste and of the "inner-life" of.the Russian
population. You will remember What I said of
the contents of the American Farm-house, the
specimens of local literature and information
placed in it, and all that denoted the "inner life"
and thought of its inhabitants. I will not dwell
invidiously on the contrast, which I have drawn
- only to show the immense distance which exists
between the development of two 'countries, both
bidding so largely fur empire in the world and
following in a similar truck under such different
guidance.
FRANCE AND MEXICO.
The Reported Correspondence Be
tween Itlaximilln.n and Napoleon.
Wads (July c 2) Correspondence of the London Herald.]
We are likely to hear a good deal for some
time to come about the correspondence which
the Emperor Maximilian is said to have sent to
Europe. The current reports that the letters
which have passed between the unfortunate
Archduke and the Emperor of the French have
been transmitted for publication, either to M.
Louis Blanc or to His Royal Highness the Duke
d'Aumale, may be set down as a canard; but
there is reason to believe that, whatever, may
have become of the originals, a duplicate oC
these important letters is in the hands of Count
13ombelles. It• is hizhly desirable that they
should be published without loss of time, as very
aiSocryphal versions of some of these letters are
in circulation, the tenor of which delights all-
Parisian Anti-Imperialist circles, and, unless the
authentic correspondence be speedily published,
the fictitious letters are likely to be accepted as
real. Among the documents which Anti-Impe
rialists are gloating over, is a letter addressed to
Maximilian, to Induce him• to leave Miramar at a
time when his heart misgave hint as to the proba
bilities of success of the venture. This epistle,
which is ascribed to the Emperor Napoleon, bears
obvious marks of being a forgery, but it is not
the less appreciated on that account. Hb3 Ma
jesty is made to say to - the Archduke that, af
ter having committed both himself and the
French, Qovernment, by 10s acceptance of the
throne tendered him by
. ft deputation received
at Miramar, he cannot stultify himself by back
ing out, and leaping the French Government in
the lurch. What woMd the Archduke think (the
letter' oes on to say) if after he had gone to
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1867.
•
Mexico, France, 6wing,loternal difficulties or
foreign complications, were to lien
sup
port, in defiance of her engagements to the con
trarY? This doeument is precisely of that kind
which it is very easy for a clever man to write, .
after the late events, with a view to inc ease the
share of responsibility devolving on the
French Government. But such a malicious
invention would never have been resorted to
if there had not been so much mystery,
and withholding of what, in parliamentary lan
guage, may be described as' the papers on the
subject." 'The effect of these sham documents is
not to be destroyed liv a mere curt denial of their
existence in the Moniteur. Count de Bombellee
(an Austrian subject) has only to come forward
and declare that when the documents he holds
are published, it will be found that all the ver
sions which have been current are malignant
fabrications, and the public, will, or at least ought
to be satisfied; but if some step of the sort be not
taken the apocryphal Maximilian correspondence
is likely to make no little noise.
Responsibility 01 Napoleon...luttrez
linable to Spare
[Pada (July 21) Conexponticace at the London Timm]
The last number of the Rcuue C'oateraporuirie
contains a very remarkable paper on the Mexican
Expedition, from the pen of M. de Keratry. The
writer was an officer in the French g,nerilla
corps organized in Mexico by Lieut.-Col. Dupin.
and about a year ago published the result of
his guerilla experiences in -the Reinte deaw
Deux Montles, sketching in a racy and
vivid manner the peculiarly ferocious nature of
the conflict between the invaders and the in
vaded. In the article now published he points
out very forcibly the want 'of g'ood faith which
marked the outset of the operations; the bungling.
and unnecessary delay which led to the besieg
ing of Puebla; which would have fallen withciut - a
siege bad the French rapidly pushed on to,
Mexico; and the utter want of support of the new
ri !civic on the part of the native population. M.
de Keratry also makes known some of the
atrocities committed by Marquez and Miramon,
aid graphically describes the difficulties Maxi
milian, even with the aid of the French, had to
contend with. Ile then adds:
"We must confess that Our government was
guilty of a breach of taitlr in withdrawing
. its
troops all at once, and before the period origi
nally fixed, in consequence of the threats of the
United States. Maximilian was thus suddenly
left virtually disarmed. OM. government com
mitted one great mistake in - promising the con
tinuance its intervention, which was to have
ceased when Mexico was pecupied; . it cora
rnitted another fault in not-keeping its word.
Marshal Bazaine would have deserved the thanks
of Europe if he had taken the responsibility of,
using force, and sending the unfortunate Em
peror home in spite of himself. Juarez and
Europe -would thus , . have been spared
a lamentable `cAistroph" - --. the hor
ror of which silences the voice of reason. On the
]9th of June, on the Cerro which hangs over
Queretaro, Maximilian fell under Mexican bill
lets, together with Minimon, a former President
of the Republic, and Mejia, the only Mexican
General, up to this time, who has died faithfulto
his party. * * By this execution Juarez has
lost a great opportunity of clemency, which
would have won him the regard of Europe, but
it must le borne-in mind that this act of clem
ency would not have saved Maximilian's life, and
would have jeopardized his own. No one who
knows Mexico and the paSsions of that country,
wrought to present pitch of- paroxysm, can
entertain adonbt of that;"-
The Catholic, Church and the Death
of Maximilian.
[From Om Journal dco Debars, July 513
The Pope wept When be learned of the tragic
fate of Maximilian, and. Caused masses to be
chanted for the reposo.of. ltis-aouL We cannot
doubt but that the tears nod prayers were sin
cere, but we believe that his Holiness mourned
for a sinner rather than fora victim. The Church
has not forgiven the Emperor of her own mak
ing . for having deceived her
_fondest hopes.
She had deputed Maximilian • to a lost
country, there to reestablish theocracy; and
when the unfortunate Prince saw the elements
which he was compelled to use in the reconstruc
tion of the throne and the altar, he shrunk back
dismayed. As was said to him, he had contract
ed in Italy the disease of Liberalism; in Austria
h`e had sown the seeds of "josephism," and in
France and in Belgium he bad become acquaint
ed with the Civil Code. After that nothing could
be expected of him. The rupture with the Church
was immediate and violent. We remember the
remonstrance of the Bishops and the censure of
Rome. It was but yesterday we read the sharp
) eply that Maximilian addressed to the Mexican
Bishops, when he spoke as follows:
"You must admit, venerable prelates, that the
Mexican Church, by a. deplorable fatality, has
meddled too much with politics and temporal al
the- Catholic
eduatithi - delibr entriffen.; It is true that the
Mexicans are pious and good, but the larger por
tion' of the people are not yet Catholics in an
evangelical sense. This is not owing to its own
faults, but the negligence of others. The Mexi
cans must be enlightened, the sacrament must be
administered to them, as it is ordained in the
Evangelists, gratuitously. You may doubt, if
you will, the sincerity of my faith in the Catholic
religion, but all Europe has long known my
opinions. Still, however gbod a Catholic I may
be. I shall also be a just and liberal Prince."
This assertion embodied the Archduke's sen
tence. The modern Church does not recognize
it possible for a man to be both Catholic and
Liberal; nothing can be in more direct opposi
tion to the spirit of its syllabus. In the eyes, of
the Church Maximilian has paid the penalty of
his errors, and his death is but an
.atonement of
his treachery. Good and merciful and humane,
pious and charitable though a man may be—and
Pope Pius IX. is really pious and charitable—a
doctrine Is pitiless. Laws, and not men, are
alone to be accused and held responsible.
WHIR WAR ASPECT.
France and Nerinany in Preparation
—Russia Likely to Join Prussia.
(Vont the Cork Examiner. July 25.]
Every indication points to the certainty of war
between France and Prussia.
A council of war is at the present moment
being held in Russia, between the staffs of the
armies of Russia and Prussia, and under the pre
sidency of the Czar himself. Plans of campaigns
suggested by probable coalitions between France
and other States are under consideration. Further,
'it is asserted that Prussia is eager to begin the
war immediately and before France has got
into attitude.
Russia, however, inclines to a postponement,.
which does not make the strife it may defer
less Inevitable. 'No doubt from the vast
struggle impending will come a cataclysm some
where.
The War Feeling In France—Resent.
ment Against Prussia.
[From the Paris Faye.]
The Patrie repeats with additional emphasis its
contradiction 'of the report that the Marquis do
-Moustier has lately sent a very sharp diplomatic
note to Berlin. This journal says not only that
nb such note exists, but that the relations between
France and Prussia are most satisfactory, Now,
It may be true that the despatch of the diplomatic
note in question has been delayed;and we will even
admit, for the sake of argument, that the draft
note may have never got beyond the stage of a
project, and in this Paint of view we attach but
a secondary importance both to the original
news and the contradiction. But that the rola.
tions between France and Prussia are cordial and
satisfactory appears to us a most difficult propo•
sition•to accept. The attitude of the Prussian ; GOV..
vernment , toward France, the acrimonious.tone
of its, semi-official journals, the extensive arma
men ts and ,accualtiladOn, of warlike storekOPenly
Made, ilmillplomatkintrigneri going on to, coun
teract French inilience in Austria and Vain, and,
to prevent the projected alliance' with'Austria,
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
and M. de Bismarck's constant language arc all
inconsistent with "the existence Of cordial' relas
tione. It could not, be otherwise unless it could
be shown from recent diplomatic facts that M.
de Bismarck is ready to satisfy the just suscep
tibilities of the , French Governusent provoked
by the non-execution of Article 5 of the
Treaty of Prague, and also by the at
tempts, under the guise of • providing for
commercial interests, to complete, the political
at edition of Southern Germany. We are not
a* re that M. de Bismarck has done anything 0
the sort. On the contrary, his most recent acts
—the revision of the postal treaties and the
financial unification of the annexed States—
clearly show that lie steadily pursues his aim,
and is pushing to the realization of his ambi
tious views, regardless of consequences as .they
affect others, and thinking only how to be readyy
for them himself. Under these ciretumstancea.tb
affirm that diplomatic relations are satisfactory s
to trifle with public opinion. That it may be pos
sible to avert war is an admissible hypothesis,
though we can find nothing to support it. The
foreign journals abound in a contrary sense, and
speak on the aubject with a frankness and a
luxury of detail to which we cannot shut our
eyes. For instance, the Brussels Gazette says that
in Russia, under the pretext of military mantru
vres, a realcouncil of war is now being held be
tween the staff of the Russian ' and Prussian
armies, with the Czar presiding.. A plan of
campaign . is under consideration on the double
hypothesis of a, war between France and Ger
many.only, and. a war in which Russia and
Prussia would be on the one side, and France,
Austria, Italy, and possibly Sweden and
the Ottoman Empire on the other. Russia in
, clineS to a postponement; bat Prussia is for be
ginning directly, and urges in support of her
opinion that the Austrian Empire is in a state of
disorganization, that the French armies are yet
relatively weak, and that Italy is hesitating and
not to be relied on by France. Moreover, the
Prussianjournals speak of war as if it were
not merely a probability, but a certainty,
on which the mind of the Cabinet of Berlin
is made up. The, Prussification of the armies
of the South, far from being relaxed, is
urged on with daily increasing haste. With
such symptoms before us, the Patrie has a sin
gularly deranged vision when it talks of cordial
relations.
The Problem for-France.
[From the Liberti%l ,
France anxiously asks how her Government
will get out of the difficulties which it has sown
in its path,, and which have borne abundant fruit.
France asks how it will avert the threatening
war, and how, if, it does not avert it, it will avert
the coalition which itswould be madness not to
foresee ? France asks, • further, how it will put
an end to the "strike" of capital which has ruled
for an unprecedented time, as is shown by the
Bank of France returns, which arc now worse
than those of the time formerly branded as "the
disastrous days of 1851."
A Prophecy of illautimiliateo Fate.
(From Le ?hare de to Loire.)
An Italian correspondent sends to the Phare
de la Loire a copy of verses which were found
posted on Pasquirio's statue at the time of the
unfortunate Maximilian s visit to Rome on his
way to Mexico, in 1864 :,
"Massimiliano—non ti fklare
Torna sollecito—a Miramare.
Il trono fradicio—der Montezuma
Frnappo Francese—colmo di spuma.
firaeo - Danao3-chl non records
Bodo la clamide—trova la corda."
"Maxitnllian, beware; hurry back to Miramar.
The rotten throne of the Montezumas As a French
goblet illed with. froth. He who forgets the
tbneo - Deopo4s9roeneath the purple will find the
halter."
Preparations to Resist an Attack on
Rome.
[From the Corriere ItaHum.]
Preparations are being made at Rome to resist
an attack by the revolutionary party. , Cardinal
Antonelli haa.addressed inquiries to the represen
tatives of foreign powers, asking them what steps
their governments would take if it could be
proved, first, that the insurrection broke out with
the connivance of the Italian government; second,
it' the revolutionists should arrive at the gates of
Rome; third, if the insurrection should break out
in Rome itself. The Ambassadors replied that
they would protect the Pope and the Cardinals,
but that they must refer home for instructions as
to what more ‘ than this they ought to do.
Garibaldi Makes Another Speech.
Garibaldi, on entering Pistoja, was received
with a veritape ovation. Addressing the crowd,
he said:
I know that all your demonstrations, so flatter
ing, so enthusiastic, . are addressed, - not to the
man, but to the principle, and they teach me
that the national cause is progressing. The
Italians do not want foreign pressure; your de
monstration of to-day is a proof of that. We
want to see Italy strong and powerful. Rome
must be ours, in spite of internal enemies and all
foreign despots. Old though I am,. I firmly hope
to go with you to Rome. Adieu:.

LOSS OF A STEAM %ACHT.
Sinking of the Steamer Alice Riggs off
Cape Hatteras—The Crew Saved.
[From the N. ]..ThmB at to day.)
The steamer Virgo, Capt. Bulkley, from Sa
vannah, which arrivedat , this port yesterday
morning,:brought the Officers and crew of the
steam yacht Alice RiggsWhieli sprung a leak and
was abandoned off Cape Hatteras on Friday last.
From Mr., W. E. 'Witter,, chief englimer of the
Alice Riggs, we learn that the vessel left this
port at 1.30 P. M. on Monday last for Baraeoa,
Cuba, in ballast. Fine weather prevailed until
the Ist inst., when the vessel had reached latitude
34 33, longitude 74 55, neing about forty miles
south of Cape Hatteras. The wind then com
menced to blow strongly from the East, and
about 8 o'clock in the morning it was found that
the vessel had sprufig a leak. The steamer 'made
water fast, and Capt. Barker decided to put
about and run for Hatteras Inlet. About 2 8. -
31. they reach ed'the inlet, but found so heavy
sea running that no pilot could venture off--to
board them. Under these circumstances, Capt.
Barker thought It best to run for the Cove, but
here the wind was blowing so strongly from the
eastward that it NVIB impossible to enter, and
they again stood out to sea. The gale continued
to increase until it grew into a. hurricane, and
the vessel labored atul strained so • much
that the leakage was greatly increased.
All night the officers and crew worked at
the pumps, but the water gained so much thatit
Soon reached the fires. By x s tnewed exertions in
pumping: and bailing the water was kept down,
but finally the fires were extinguished and the
pumps gave out. Abont 8 A. AL. on Friday
morning, when hope had almost deserted them,
a large steamer hove in sight. which proved to be
the Virgo, from Savannah. Observing the signals
of distress, the Virgo ran down to the Alice Riggs
and took her in tow. It was soon found, how
ever, that all efforts to save her would prove use
less, and her officers and crew (who were com
pletely exhausted by their protracted labors)
being taken off, she was abandoned.
'The Alice Riggs was an iron propeller of ninety
tons register. She was•built in England in 1861,
and was intended as a yacht for the Governor of
Bermuda. She was soon afterward sold as a
blockade-runner, but was captured, and finally
purchased by Mr. Peter Lorillard. of this city,
who ownedsher at the-time the disaster occurred.
She is said to have been uninsured, and to be
worth abut $16,000. All the baggage of the offi
cers and crew, with a considerable sum in specie,
was saved.
Her officers were Captain Barker, Mr. Warren,
mate; W. E. Whitter, chief engineer. and Mr. Hol
land, second engineer, making, with her crew, 11
in all.
The ' Presiden t t ai ;g r tN i t a t n on, Grant and
Worrekpondence of the N. Y. Tribune.] •
WASIIINGTON S Ang. 4, 1867.—The old story of
the resignation of Stanton as Secretary of War is
being revived. This time there seems to be good
foundation for the story . It is known - here that
the President's contemplated removal of Gen.
Sheridan is opposed by both Stanton and Grant.
The order for the removal would have been Is
sued long figolutd it'not been for tide opposition.
The President stated last week that he would re
-move Stantorrfirst; and - then' - Sheridan. Some
doubt is expressed as to the President's - poWer to
remove a Cabinet officer under the Civil Tenure of
Office law. Stallim's opponents are of the
opinionlhat, as Stanton was never appointed or
confirmed as Secretary of War under the Adruinis
tration of President Johnson, therefore he has
the power of removing him. This idea was ad
vanced in the Senate at the time the bill was
passed, and the law seems to be explicit that the
President cannot remove an officer under the
above circumstances. The President's friends
say that, if he cannot make Stanton resign, he
will suspend him until the meeting' of-Con
gsess. The whole matter has' been the subject
of much talk here within the last 24 hours. it
not having become known until then that there
really was a quarrel between the'President and
Stanton. General Grant has had several inter
views during the last week with the, President
and Secretary Stanton on the proposed removal
of Sheridan. It is said that General Grant con
strues the Reconstruction Act to place on him a.
part of the responsibility for its faithful execu
tion by officers under his own command, and
hence his opposition to Sheridan's removal. He
Is opposed to Sheridan's removal, and, when
consulted by the President in the matter, gave it
as his opinion, that he had no one under his com
mand in whom he could place more trust than•
Sheridan.
The Arrebt of einnta Anna
The official correspondence relating to the "ar
rest of Gen.Banta Anna has been printed. The
material facts have heretofore been published.
Mr. B,aulnier, United Btateq . Consul at Vera
Cruz, under date of June .7, say ' s in a letter to
CoMmander Roe , , _
Yesterday, In company with the Euglisli Con
sul, at the request of General Banta Anna, we
visited him on board the Virginia. He enter
tertained us with a long discotirse as to his plans,
viz.:
That after interviews with President Johnson
and Secretary Seward, at their solicitation he has
come; that they have offered him men and money
to sustain him: that Maximilian has offered to
deliver the situation of the country to Santa An
na, etc., all of Which I belleveto be false. I can
not believe our government is disposed to disown
Juarez, and take up a mau like Santa Anna, who
has no party in any section of the country, and
neither can I believe our government will give
countenance to illibusterism of this nature.
. Mr. Seward wrote to Mr. Sauluier on July L:
Your despatches of June 8, Nos. 43 an . d . 4.1.
have been received,with the history of the arrival
of General Banta Anna 'at Vera Cruz in the
steamer Virginia; his demonstrations made there,
and his departure from that • port, togethe'r with
your official proceedings connected with those
transactions.
You rightly apprehend that the proceedings of
General Santa Anna had no authority from the
Governruentof the United States. This Govern
mene,has held no.Commuuleation with him what
el.-Per during his residence in our country, and his
departure was unknown and unthought of when
he appeared in the waters of Mexico.

conferred, a'generarsimervisory authority, look

the protection of political rights. They
will suspend registrars for Malfeasance in
office, neglect of duty. or incompetency,
promptly reporting their action, with the reasons
therefor, to the commanding general. The regu
lations are severe against all persons endeavoring
to thwart the right of registration; tiwoffence be
ing punishable by the post court. °Mimes per
petrated by white persons disguised as blacks are
of frequent occurrence, and therefore the atten
