Two weeks ago we found warrant for enthusiasm. The Mississippi was again opened from the lakes to the gulf; the South had no more men ; the last of his race, the "intelligent contraband," had fled to the Union lines; Charleston was about being en tombed by the gravest of epitaphero, Gilmore, and we victors were undecided as to whether we should sow the South with salt—an article greatly in demand in that section—:or divide it among our selves and mooed to ruin England and the world by keeping our entire staples at home. RICE! DAN RICE! .What change has come so rudely over the.spirit of our dream? WM it father Lincoln's Mississippi letter which gored gold so confoundedly?-or was it the alleged failure of the 'conscription ? The delay 'before Charleston Gould not have been deemed a calamity I May it , have been the grow ing power and resoluteness.of the Democracy, and a ruse of their adversaries to give them a bad name. abroad ? Or, closer than all, was it the fail. ing confidence and the rising wrath of the whole peeple toward the wretched administration which rules in the North with a shod heel but cannot scotch the Viper at the South ? At any, rate, we stand a stair lower than yesterday. Our enemies have taken courage, and we, who do nothing, but hope all, for a restored compact, moo and our Constitution, begin to doubt that we shall ever see the endwhich God speed ! The European question most nearly concerning the States is doubtless that of France and Mexico. The repUblic of Juarez has probably no more valid existence to-day than the independent kingdom of Poland. French bayonets make laws for the Latin Americans. The Emperor of Franca is not our visitor but tour neighbor, and he may mean to be our enemy: The church party in Mexico has wel comed him with ignominious courtesy, and a depu tation of Mexicans, en route for Vienna, has ar rived in Paris, with the invitation to Aroh Duke Ataximillian to assume the crown and sceptre.— That he will do so is a matter of debate throughout Europe, but the general impression seems to be that a *roll-founded distrust of French diplomacy will lead Austria to decline the honor. The latter empire, se you know, owes its strength and extent less to its prowess than to its taht Judicious in termarriages, clever treaties, and a general political activity, has enabled Austria to combine under one government the most heterogenotts peoples in the world. In this respect she presents a com plete contrast to France, where one race is su preme, and where legislation is contrived to guard the boon of citizenship jealously: The attachment of a great western peninsula to a prince of Austria will doubtlees be a fond ambition to the young and zealous Emperor, but there is nothing to explain this strange alliance betwaen the German and the Gaul, long-standing enemies, with fear on the one part and distrust on the other. Most of the Ger man journals disparage the story of the Arch Duke's acoeptancy of the Mexican crown, and the Oat-Deutsch Post, an Austrian authority, presents the ease in the following pointed manner : "An Arch Duke of Austria, the nearest agnate of the reigning sovereign, is called upon to aban don his native land, in which, according to the do mestic regulations of the imperial fa iii,, be pos sesses important rights, and him great duties to fullll, for the purpose of ascending, in a distant country, a throne which has yet to be founded, which has been won by foreign armor and to the support of which Austria, with all her military power, cannot in any way contribute. It is an ab solute feet that the Emperor of the French. is the only serious protector of that throne. Nor is it less certain - that whatever Prince may occupy it, he will be obliged to govern, to a certain extent, in conformity with French interests. Protected, sep 80 A RALLY FOR THIS LEYSTON3 STATE.

BeueszLe, Sept. 18th by a French garrison, and deriving his resources from a Prenoh loan, what a position for a new em peror! From all these considerations, it Is proba ble—we wish we could say it is certain—that the . Mexican deputation will not succeed in persuading an Austrian Prince to go to Mexico." This phase of the Mexican question is not of great importance. Since the republic is subju gated, it will be comparatively easy to give it a The name of Prince Napoleon has been broached, but the Prince is said to be inimical to the wnole Mexican policy of the Emperor, and his journal s the Opinion Nationale, finds frequent opportunities' for snarl and sneer. The Issue of the afair appears to me to be the permanent Occu pancy of the country by a French army, and its final tranimntation to a French colony or tieeroy. alti. Already the Bourse of Paris is agitated with divera projects for the development of Mexi can mines and produce; the completion of the Nicaraguan canal is no longer a matter of proba bility, but slot:Wed' resolve, and the latest, and most interesting ieStie of the whole to nO, IS the acknowledgment Of the Southern Confederacy by the foremost European nationality. The F lorida, to .11rhich some of your cage con temporaries have made reference, as about to make a pounce upon - the'hlithor of NOV York, conjointly with othir privateers, has been abandoned by her or,* iti the harbor of Bred, and the eighty lady' fellows who sailed her are ere this at sea, upon a faller nod finer veetel!which awaited their arrival at Liverpool. Mee commonest sailor is said to be' riehi and the old hulk it in presumed will be sold to tkil highest.bidder or condemned for a debt to a shipper of Frame. We have therefore no conclu sion to this maritime item, whereby we might have discovered the attitude of the Emperor. But there ie a general feeling of ineesurity here, and my let ters ffom Parkepeak of a probable rupture at an early day betviein France and the United States. In such an event we could infliet no great blow upon an enemy whose navy is. greater than ours, and whose colonies and commerce are of little con sequence, whereas •he would' have the power of raising our blockade in a month. Meantime, a small fleet of Confederate iron-clads are about to leave ' the apron of England, and their departure' has, caused no little comment. , . "We'should not submit if we, were belligerents," sayi the Times of to-day, "to the dispatch of oral• ser after cruiser from a neutral port to make war upon our vessels. We believe that, except for some evasion, such progeedings could really be proved unlawful. We cannot but suspect that such service is the service for which these steamers are destined, and we therefore ask that these suspi cions may be dispelled before we lot the vessels go." This is pleasant for Sunday reading on your side of the Atlantic, but I suppose that nobody believe§ otherwise than that these turreted iron.. clads will get to sea. And by the time that we have cleared the South-west of field troops, the Confederates will have.- pb,.44 ot pratueging :ma war , 'mu me cmi or. days. The siege of Charleston is closely watched on this side of the water, less far its political than for its scientific results, in the items of Ordnance and the powers of resistance of iron-elads. The Peat, Lord Palmerston's organ, speaks as follows of our ability in gunnery : "The beat gun for breaching purposes in the English ordnance is an old sixty-eight pounder.— Our artillerists think the Americans are wrong in the matter of Dahlgren guns, but let them give us a gun as good and as cheap as the . Parrott to be gin with. A few of Brigadier General Gillmore's batteries before Sebastopol would have knolikd the place into a cocked hat in 24 hours." Indeed, our pereeverence and pluck in keeping up the combat is beginning to tell even upon the obstinacy of John Bull. Those columns of the London journals which do not discourage and de nounce us, contain unwilling testimonials to our valor and the mightiness of .our resources. The tory, conservative, or opposition journals of Eng land have seised the chance twice or thrice of late to contrast our independence and earnestness with the sleepy administration - of things under Derioy Russell and Palmerston. The Serald, the leading daily organ of this class, said - on Thursday: "If England is great ind flourishing now, her greatness and prosperity are due to her people, not to the vacillating Ministry te , whom it is .her misfortune to have her destinies confided, nit to that foreign administration which truckles to Abra- . ham Lincoln and bullies Brazil; which insults Denmark when about to beCome allied to England by the °loam bonds of blood; which reads empty lessons of good government to Russia, and which has intervened in Poland only to prolong a mur derous and useless war, and then to withdraw with disgrace." The Times, of the same day, in like manner grows morose upon the ambition of a moiety of the Canadians to embrace our form of government : "We have set them up as a nation," says that journal, "lent them money for their public works, and supplied them with troops and munitions of war; and if they make their choice to stay with us, and will but Ana , ' a reasonable willingness to bear a fair share of the necessary burden of de fence, we shall be heaceily glad to keep them and quite ready to keep them to the best of our abili ty. If, however, with their eyes open to the pros pect, they prefer annexation to the United States, we are equally ready to let them go." The last Victoria Magazine closed an article upon the consequences of our war, in this strain "A nation overwhelmed with prosperity, intoxi cated with success, demoralized by wealth, has lsettwel lota la dia, eta :sell ea hew to live." If we can but survive this one rebellion, with our re publican form of government unchanged, new rivets in our Constitution, but eio new planks, and brotherly kindness once more restored, fanaticism rebuked, and powerless treason forgiven, we shall have a proud history, and shall have deserved it. But just now the skies are not very bright, and the rainbow that we saw a week ago is half washed out again in a spray of bleed. Here at Brussels life is about as dreary as one can find it anywhere save in North Carolina or New Jersey. This is one of 'the bolstered kingdoms, kept intact by the jealousies of greeter powers, any of which would mounch it in a night, if they were not so equally matched. It may enliven my letter to append a sketch of my ride to the battle field of Waterloo yesterday. It is ten miles from Brussels to Waterloo village. Trains go to the vicinity of the field 'several times a day, but a better route is that of the , English diligence, which runs only in the "season," and takes passengers to the, place. and back, for seven francs and a "pour Here" to the driver. I obtained an outside seat et nine and a-half o'clock. The voyageurs were English, without exception. Every perch was engaged, and six ladies climbed to the top, in Mateo of wind and crinoline. The dri ver wound a shrill bugle to the measure of "Bonnie Dundee;" we paused at innumerable hotels to take up travelers, and all our route through the shabby streets of Brawls was lined , with juvenile mendi. cants. who somersaulted v screamed, and gave pocif. PRICE TWO CENTS. I crone chase, expectant of sous and half-pennies: As we dashed into the Rue Royale, fronting the palace and the park, with the superb statue of Godfrey of Bouillon standing guard midway of the highway, the eye could catch, down the sunny perspective, the dwelling where, by tradition, the Duchess of Richmond gave a ball to Wellington's officers on the eve of the conflict, thus magnified by Byron! "There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's capital had gathered there Her beauty and her chivalry—" The outskirts of Brussels present few objects of luxury, as the entire city is a shrivelled and mis erable imitation of Paris, where in 'lieu of the beautiful cream-colored stone of the metropolis, the Belgians have plastered their houses to:corres pond, and their Boulevards are likewise wretched attempts at such highways as "Sebastopol" and "the Italians." Passing the oily, however,. we followed one of those great Belgian turnpikes, paved with huge hewn stones, and,leading over a high rolling country, the like of which we do not see in the States, save perhaps in the Virginia "piedmont" hard by the battle- ground of Centre ville. Byron remarked of this, that nature seemed to have prepared it for some remarkable contest. There are feW trees, except on' the lines of roads and lanes: In some directions the eye does not find a dwelling or a grange. Fences do not inter. pose between farm and farm, nor are there crops of Indian corn to secrete skirmishers or battalions. Land and sky meet every where at the horizon, as at mid sea, and if a human being cross the in tervening distance he may be easily distinguished . 17 the naked eye. We passed the forest of Soig nee after the first hoar, a pleasant wood of straight shafted trees, which grow so far apart that bat teries may be driven through their most intricate parts. Byres hag dignified this timber with the ancient name of Ardennes, which wood exists only in remnants, a hundred miles distant—and Wel lington intended to retreat to it in the event of his defeat on the nth of June, 1815. Theis were a few old women gathering flax at the roadsides; patches of wheat and oats lay brownly gossiping in divers nooks and slopes, and here and there the shining sheaves stood in military order, like stacks of bayonets surviving the combatants. Beggars pursued us far into the country—some blind, some hobbling upon crutches, some old and haggard and lb ioked, and our "cousins," who are happiest when regarding foreign misery, scattered a few sous and entered the fact in their diaries under the head of "imposition." An English company Isn't the happiest in the world for a stage coach, and ours was composed of that description of folk who buy cheap tickets from London to Ostendmend a day at Waterloo, quarrel five days with innkeepers, sneeze at the Rhine and go home disgusted. There was an old man beside me, who having read all the descriptions of the battle French and English, was in a position to was understood to be junior partner in a country paper at Canterbury, was enveloped in an India rubber coat from heels to head so that, being very thin and revealing only a rainbow of nose, he looked like the Delco of Wellington's phan ton. "Wair you at Antwerp, I beg pardon !" said this youth, in one breath and without looking at any body in particular. Two young ladies, with an abundance of feet, brawn and crinoline, and who looked less amiable than any of our "strong-minds," annihilated the Duke at ones; their companion, a sprouting indi vidual in kids, ejaculated, "what-say-oh I dab say!" and seemed to be bent upon spitting the Duke with his umbrella ; "Umph !" said the old gentleman, as if his pocket had been picked, and your correspondent intimated that he hadn't been there "lf you go there, 'says the Duke, more ghostly than ever and showig a pale, frosty eye, "if you go, I beg pardon, don't give anything to a man at the door of the Cathedral; don't: He is a awind. ler, and I have intimated the fact to a friend who knows a friend who has a friend in Bradshaw. That man s mark me : will be mentioned in Brad shaw. He took me in for a six pence at a private picture gallery, and compelled me to pay it, under protest": "Shameful imposition !" says the whole com pany, "but who expects anything vise from a for eigner!" For a few minutes there was silence. Every passenger regarded every other distrustfully, and the Duke having spoken first, was held to be a de signing man, by common consent. Finally the old gentleman, with his left hand in his coat bo. som and a dramatic flash of his eye toward a cow path on the rightgaid in a high key, with his chin turned to your correspondent: "The Duke had that road guarded." "I beg pardon," says the Duke's phantom, "but you mean our Duke ?" "The Duke," continued the old gentleman, fiercely, "fearful that Bonaparte would send cav alry into Brussels, had that road guarded until late in the evening." Here the sprouting young man asked in un dertone if that "respectable old person" was a 'guide," and a female of a certain age entered the lane in a blue diary, with the footnote of "feel ings !" "Have you read Mueilling's Waterloo ?" says the old gentleman, taking me in the flank. "N o Then Harvey? Walker? Deligne ? No? Perhaps you have formed your opinion upon the French accounts ?" Here all the passengers looked at your corres pondent as a man for whom summary hanging would have been an inadequate punishment. "I have been a little interested," I reply, "in Mons. lingo's description of the action." "What!" said the Duke's phantom, "Victor Hugo I wby sir, a man in Brussels made a deliber ate attempt to swindle me with that book at nine o'clock this morning. That man, sir, is down for Bradshaw !" "The account of Victor Hugo," said the old gen tleman, "is a manifest and unblushing tissue of falsehoods. I denounce it as such, sir! He erre in dates, in names, in numbers, in facts. Yes sir. in facts ! There never was a correct account o f that battle written in the ti allic tongue; never, never !" Here we entered Waterloo village—a long,.lost. sleepy, straggling place, with a white Catholic chure# in the middle, opposite an arched stone house where the British commander made his quarters. A more prosaic, unsociable town one cannot meet, even in Belgium, a n d a secon d Waterloo could hardly animate its burghers and its abodes. Culpepper, Warrenton, and a hundred other villages which I haire visited during ear war were bedlam§ compared to Waterloo, and the stage coach looked as mush out of place as it came to a PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING OVADATII MEOZPIND BY 0.

A half frac was demanded at the church door to see the tombs which lined the aisles, of Ricketts of the Ith &sneers, Sniggins of the 18th rifles, and oth ers unknown to fame. A bust of the Duke of Wellington stood by the door, the slabs of some villagers were set in the wall among the warriors, and over the tasteful altar 4 pure-god Madonna looked down benignantly, where once the dying and the athirst had cursed and howled, as we— God pity us !—see them every day in our rent re public. Horses changed, beggars kialod aad all remounted, we threaded the twin village of Mount Saint Jean (the French name ores battle) and stopped finally on the road to Nivelles, thir teen miles from Brussels and a stone's throw from the wreck of the chattean of Hougonmont. Here the stage halted in a hollow, or basin ? or ravine, which crossed the road obliquely and de scribed very nearly a semicircle around Ronan moot. The same ravine continued to the left would make also a semicircle around the village of Waterloo, though every where three miles to the south of it. It was this ravine which divided the two armies on the 11th of June, and the brunt of the conflict occurred between two farm houses less than a mile apart, of which Hougoumont was one and La Haye Sainte the other. The spot which we occupied eoperated th British right front the French left, and Prince Jerome, the most stupid of the Napoleons, opened the battle from thevidge before us, while the British shell and shot name shrieking over our heads from the knoll beyond. I imagine that a boy might throw a stone from ridge to ridge, as the artillery range of either side was point blankand the ravine was not deeper than the dip of any Pennsylvania wheat-field. In factr a glimpse of Waterloo, disturbs if it does not de stroy all preview/ expeotatlene. Any of oar third rate American battles are fought over more ground and in the face of more obstacles. It was in the power of the British to maneuvre their troops be llied the crest of their position unseen, but the French do not seem to have exhibited much abil ity, as their system of fighting was merely to pre. cipitate masses of wait Apoi thoir adVerfritte and annoy them with frequent charges of cavalry.— The two dwellings which I have named—Rougon mont and Ls Kaye Sainte—were on this occasion "the safeguards of Europe," and the fate of Na poleon. Less than three quarters of a mile apart, their long orchard walls, hedges and outhouses were so many strong barricades to cover riflemen and to mask batteries, while any efforts of the French to pass between them would be impeded by a flank fire from each. Turning off to the left, a little walk brought us to Hougoumont, and our guide said concisely at the portal : "'Ere, gentlemen, you pays a small gratuity of 'arter franc to the hagent of th_Lproirietor. I .E haint 'art' as particular about yer register as your ad-franc." " Imposition number seven !" said the sprouting individual, with a melancholy look at his kids, and the Duke's phantom at once put the proprietor down for Bradshaw. We found in the old house a wilderness of bayonets, medals, musket!, etc., doubtful relics of the action, and as we drank a glass of beer in the low doorway, thenght of the time when the yard at our feet was rolling with dying soldiers. Just now there were chickens, ahousedogand a baby in sight, and the only ene• my within view consisted of a score of ruffians who charged upon ns with canes, guide books, and all -manner of fouventirs, and food their ground like the Old Guard, and gave chase like the cavalry of Blucher. The deinolished barns, the blackened beams, the shattered walls, the broken stairways of the old chateau, In the leaning Mice of towers were exemplars fresh as yesterday of the world renowned combat; and downd:in a little chapel, fresh as a Brandywine or Conestoga dairy, stood a crucifix with feet eonsumed, in the very spot where it had been suspended on the afternoon of the battle. Here the wounded crawled in quanti- Vies, tinder the shadow of the areas, and it is re• markable that while conflagration burned to death the poor folks in the barns, outbuildings and dwel lings, nobody hero suffered math. The cross kept back the fire—so say the neighbors still—and notv the walls are written over with thousands of names, among them that first of the Vandals, Lord Byres. Thence we went into the old orchard, enclosed by two brick walls, all of which remain, with the loopholes made in them by order of. Wellington; Their outer faces are honeycombed with bullets,and the graves of the slain lie in garden and yard adja cent. Here the real struggle occurred, and not as has been said by such insane vaperistazte Headley and Abbott, on the spot where the old guard made their miserable and inglorious charge. Here einem cod behind these formidable walla, the like of which we never see upon our American farms . , the British riflemen poured death into the successively ad vancing battalions of Jerome, and no Frenchman scaled the wall during the day, though Ohio crawled beneath it and labored to wrench the mus kets from the hands of the defenders, as they pro, traded through the loop-holes. La Halm Sainte. the farm house on the British left, was taken and held by the French, and between the two farms, midway, rises a great tomb or mountain of earth, crowned with a sickly Belgian lion, whose keeper is placed below to take francs from the daily stran gers,. Hence we could see the ground over which the old guard moved in both directions, and the far farm house, with its surrounding straw stacks, where Napoleon remained most of the day, watch ing the combat. There was no adventitious ditch, or wall, or hedge here to befriend the English.— The fact stands, tte the ground shows it, that the old guard were fairly beaten back by musketry, and the books say that they were beaten well enough to know it. It looked like a field of battle, as I saw it in the aternoon, stretching away to the horizon—long, rolling waves of table lind, Very bare of timber, and, jest here, with many dwellings in view. The crops have always been rich since that great ma. nuring, and now the landscape was as still as reli gion and as beautiful as peace. Just here the old gentleman and the guide— a Waterloo soldier—fell out open some remote fact as to where Lord Edward Fitznoodle, with the 95th Highlanders, were posted at siz o'clock and ten minutes on the day of the engagement. "Yon havn's read the history," said the old gen tleman irately. ""You Wasn't there!" sap the wide. And the Duke's phantom took the fact and both their names, might report them to Bradshaw. So ended the second tle battle of Waterloo. Tours baldly, Boos DX LA WWI.
