ADVERTISING AT REASONABLE RATES.
The Cause of the Visit of the French
Minister to the Rebel Capital.
The-recent visit of the French ,Minister to
Richmond has oocasioned some speculation on!
the part of the public, but nothing like what.
its extraordinary character would have justi
fied, among a people molskilled in Statecraft
than ours. Buchan even could not have oc-;
eurred under liko circum lances in Europe,:
Without absorbing the attention of all the Cab-;
Wets, and leading to immediate explanations
on the part of those engaged. Suppose, for.
Instance, Ireland in a state of rebellion, and;
the French Minister at . St. James' visiting;
the headquarters iof the insurgents in the
midst of the fray. Would not England knew:
why he went, at all events, before ho returned;
and resumed, hie amicable relation to the Eng- :
nab Government?
The speoulations of your ootemporaries on
M. Mercier's visit have, so far,been extremely:
superficial and absurd. His mission had a;
far deeper import than any one hue yet pub-
Holy indicated, and it is well to let the people'
have a correct idea of it, that they may be.
prepared to meet the political necessities of,
their psition.
And first, M. Mercier did not visit Rich-,
mood to look after the French Government's'
tr,bacoo, for he is not a commercial agent, but
a diplomatist.
Secondly, M. Mercier did not go toßich-.
mond in the interest of the Rebels. He could
not, as an honorable man, have gone through'
the Union lines on a mission unfriendly to the;
Union ; and he could not, as the representa
tive of an honorable Government, remain at'
Washington plotting adversely to the Gov--
ernment to which he is atceedited.
Then what did the French Minister go to
Richmond for ? The answer is this : To as-
sure the rebels that the Emperor of the French!
does not recognize the= rte a power among the!
nations; that - England and France by recog
nixing them as belligerents, did all that could
be expected on the part of neutral ,Govern
manta; that they are fairly beaten in argue, and:
their independence ag a nation inapaerible; that
a continuance of hostilities, by thuthreatened
destruction of the cotton and tobacco crops of;
their citizens, would only be'a wanton injury'
to the commerce of the world, injuring France '
and England even more than tho United{
States; and that a resort to Guerrilla warfare,'
as proposed, when , their armies are destroyed,
would demoralize society, and be simply & re- ;
turn to barbarism.
The rebels have been admonished, there-,
lore, that a emation of hostilities is a duty thug :
owe to amide. and to the world, which all
civilised nations will unite in requiring 'or
them.
At the same time, to save dietr honor and
their existence as a free people, the French
Emperor has assured them that civilised Eu
rope will not approve the enforceteeneof any
hard terms on - them by the United States •
that their society shall not be disorganized::
their industry shall not be overthrown ; their
families shall not be impoverished by general
and indiscriminate confiscations of their pro
perty: and. that Mr. Lincoln's-Administra
tion will be held to a faith'nl observance of
the programme with which he appealed to
Europe for forbearance at the outbreak of the
rebellion, to wit : A restored** of the Mien on
the bad, of the Conditution, with the inherent
rights of all the States preserved.
The adoption by Congress of Mr. Lincoln's
policy of voluntary and gradual emancipation
by the slave States themselves, with the co
operation of the National Government, satis
fies tae conscience of European Governments,
and the immediate overthrow of the institt
done of the Soilth by National power is con-.
detailed pn the same grounds as they condemn
the destruction of the present crops of cotton
and tobacco by the rebels themselves. It is
contrary to the highest interest of commerce,
civilisation and true philanthropy.
That M. dieraierwould not make an import
set communication to the' rebel Confederacy
without instruction of the Emperor is certain.
That the Emperor would not have such coni
munication made without the knowledge and
consent of the President and kir. Seward is
also certain. It follows, that the mission of
M. Mercier to the Confederate Government in
a voluntary effort of the Emperor Of the
French for the restoration of the Union,
on -the basis laid down by the picot
dent and Mr. Seward, and gloriously vin
dicated by the armies of the Union. The
President could not but consent and approve
of M. bleroier's comm'unication, because it in
volved no armistice on our - part, no abate
ment of the demands of the United States
Government for the unconditional submisaion
of the rebellion-, bet sustained the President
in hie defense of the Constitution and Union
in their original spirit, letter and integrity.
When M. Mercier returned from tasking
his communication at Richmond most sig
nificant events followed. Ho was borne C.
Washington on a French war-vessel, the
deck of which le the "soil of Franco." This
is the first time in history uL the close meet
ing of the two sovereignties. The President
&eclair. Seward received M. Mercier at the
navy yard, on his approach to the Capital—a.
distinguished honor—and when the President'
stepped on the dock or the Gassendi, he was
welcomed by a salute equal in 'honor to that
accorded to the Emperor. That was not n
tribute to the bead of a dismembered country,
but to the chosen rnlerof one of the first Pow
ere of the world, tried in the crucible of war
I and found triumphant. Within a day or two
after the return to Washington, the Ambassa
dor of Francais on teitained at dinneer in nettle
style by the Secretary of State and the Presi
dent and his Premier exhibit that remarkable
serenity which says to all the world, "We be
masters of the position."
On the other hand, the visit of - M. Mercier
to Richmond is followed by.dleaster and-dis
may for the rebels. Their Congress adjourns
precipitately, leaving numerous communica
tions tram Jeff. Davis, whom-they call their
"President," unopened on their table. They
adjourn when the fate .of their rebellion, for
weal or woe, is within two weeks of final de-
I :
oision. They leave in mob confusion and
haste,-that the rebel. papers of Richmond
mock them for cowards and fugitives that will
never return. The next resultisthe aband
onmeut of Yorktown by Gene. Lee and Jo.
Johnston, the beet point for defense in the
,'Southern Confederacy, and the retreat, in
I:tumult - arid disorder, of the best army' that
jJeff. Davis has had in the field. The reason
its, they are hopeless and demoralised. They
;have no future, and cannot fight except for
the mere relief of escaping the shame of dis
lcomliture In death.
On the dispersion of the armies of Gene. Jo.
;Johnston and Beauregard, which Jeff. Davis
icon neither accelerate nor prevent—for he Is'
-no longer the shadow of a power—the rebel
lion will be ended, and the - Union restored on
the buts originally prescribed by - President
Lincoln, and enforced on the Insurgents by,
I ;the French Government as a political and in-_
ternational necessity. The war will cease;
Southern industry will nut be overthrown, but
gradually regenerated ; the, present cotton
crop, and increased future crops, will enrich
the commerce and minitfaclarers of the. Uni
ted States and • the world, and. France will
share in the glory of the achievement. -

The Rebel Writing on the Walls.
[From the Richmond' Examiner, April 22.)
Yesterday morning the walls orals houses
of Purcell, Ladd dc Co., B. B. Spence & Co., I
Binford k Porter, the Powbattan House, and cl
other conspicuousestablishreenta about town,
were covered with incendiary and plasphe
mous writings, a verbatim copy of some of
which we give below. The' writing was in a
fair, round, and a deliberate hand, and all
evidently performed by one and the same per
eon—the writing in the various places named
being identical - in character. The dirty work
must have been begun before the street lamps
were extinguished at 12 o'clock Saturday
night, as it could not possibly be accomplished
in the dark. We are confirmed in this opin
ion by the fact that all the writings are in the
neighborhood of the lamps. From the amount
of writing and the size of the letters, granting
it to have been performed by one band, it is
computed that it could not have occupied the
writer less than an hour, that is, from 11 to
12 o'clock. Whore, it is on every hand'asked,
whore, during the dull hour of the watch,
were the much vaunted, highly paid- $4 per
diem and perquisites—detectives? Where
WAR llossvally ? Where was Bob Crow?
That the -writer was an indifferent poet and
an illiterate and blasphemous man, there can
be but one opinion among those who scan—
' THR WRITING ON THZ WALLS—

"On Yorktdon'e walls there Is they corn•."'

"The Lord la on our side, bnt, in contequence of

"The cry is still they come."
On Einford t Porter's west wall:
"On Yorktown flights the cry is still they come."
"Change your belle into cannon, and charge with
Confo—."
Here the midnight scribe appears to have
been interrupted in his work, most probably
by the watchman on' hie way to extinguish
the lamps on the corner.
At an early hour of the day, all these ribald
inscriptions, except those on the houses of
Purcell, Ladd A' Co., were effaced by the pro
prietors of the different houses. Those at the
latter places ' owing, no doubt, to the fact that
the owners of the two houeee resided at a dis
tance from them, were permitted to remain,
and until night all proved a great attraction
to Sunday loungers. Many bitter impreca
tions were vented against the unknown per
petrator of the scurrilous performance.
The Battle of Shiloh
The great battle of the Tennessee seems to
deserve the fame which has been claimed for
it. Divesting it of its spangles and blue fire,
the simple fact comes our in euffleient gran
deur. There was a two days' conflict between
two very considerable armies. •
It was a drawn battle, and the first creditable
encounter on either side which has taken place
daring this war. We have too midi blood
relationship with these men on both sides, al
though the South are more purely English than
the other., not to wish that, if they will fight,
they may fight well. Apart from the facilities
which the great navigable rivers give to •
powerful invader, thin would be a great Con
federate victory; for to an invader; ander the
ordinary conditions of invasion, a chock is
defeat, and defeat is ruin. But all -former
rates of -warfare -are set at naught in this
strange 'New . World struggle. When naval
supremacy can be made available many hun
dred miles froth the sea,, and an army
can be sustained in the midst of a great
continent by supplies brought by steamboats
from depots hundreds of 'miles distant; and
when gunboats canvan op and down through
out that continent, and take part in every
battle that happens within cannon-shot of a
river, the laws of European tactics do not ap
ply. With stu.h facilities in the handd.of the
Feder•le, Gen. Grant, may be able to afford
even such victories as those he claimed on the
Tennessee. But we should be very much mis
taken if wo thought that this affair is cal
culated to bring tho war to an'end or to dis
courage the Southern people. Already it had
given far more apprehension than hope in the
North; and it will be seen from a private tele
gram which appears in another column that
reports were rife in Baltimore of new achieve
ments by the Merrimac and a repulse of Mc-
Clellan at Yorktown. These are probably but
indications of a state of public feeling not
vary confident of an early consummation of
the great Southern conquest.—London
Confiscation and Emancipation in
the House.
The Select Committee of the Bowe on Con
fiscation and Emancipation has instructed its
Chairman, Mr. Eliot, to report two bills. The
first, which is agreed to by Mr. Neill, of
Missouri, as well as by Messrs. Ellet t Hutch
ins, Beaman, and Sedgwick, but opposed by
Messrs.• Mallory, of Kentucky, and Cobb, of
New Jersey, confiscates all the property, real
and personal, of leading classes of Rebels - ,
embracing somewhat mere than ire covered
by Senator Sherman's bill, who shall continue
in rebellion after the passage of the bill. By
another section, the property of all other
Rebels who continuo such sixty'days after its
passage shares the same fate. The President
is to , seire the property, but the courts are to
institute proceedings.
The claims of loyal creditors aro made liens
upon the property taken. Tho other bill,
whichonly the Republican members of the Co
mmittee—a bare majority—approve, liberates
immediately upon its passage the slaves of
all rebels. Two additional sections to the
first bill were discussed bat not entail upon,
Mr. Noah being opposed to them. By one it
is declared that ander this bill *Mares shall
not be - Vold to be property. By the other
provision is made for the enrollment of all
loyal persons within the rebel districts who
■hall become free upon such enrollment, and
may be, in such numbers as are required, en
listed in the military service of the United
States. Both will probably be moved in the
Etouse.—A. Dispatch loth Tribune. .
Fidelity of Contrabands.,
The New York Times is compelled by facts,
to do justice to the contrabands, in the fol
lowing article ;
One of our correspondents at Yorktown adds
a postscript to his letter, dated on Saturday,
May 9, at noon, to the effect that our pickets
bad been puzzled at, encountering no pickets
,of the enemy during the previous night and
adds : "A contraband who has just'come In,
reports the rebels to have evacuated York
town." It will be seen that the news did not
reach Gen. McClellan until the morning of
the 4th, when the pursuit was instantly' Qom-,
mencrod with vigor. Nor is this the only in-.
stance where the loyalty and reliability of the
fugitive slaves have been tested. Our armies
'have hardly taken a step without reliance
upon the reports of the faithful black fellows,
'whose accuracy has been remarkable. Gen.
Banks has had frequent occasion's to acknow
ledge the value of these!volunteer guides;
and it Is credibly stated that but for informa
tion carried by them to (len. MoDowell's Offi
cers, when they approached the Itappltan- •
nook, that important division of the 'army
'would have pressed forward and fallen into
the hands of Gen. Gustavus Smith,.- whose
rebel legions lay only a shoridistanco boyond

African. allies by the time the warm aided.

1 he Visit of the French Minister to i
i ' Richmond.
The article we give, from the New York
. Times, in relation to the object of the visit of
‘ the French Ambassador, resident at Wash-.
ington, to Richmond, is probably correct. No
doubt be went on come mission comporting
with his high official position, and that it had
reference to the opinions of the Emperor in
relation to the hopelessness of the struggle on
the part of the Confederates. The specula
tions, however, in relation to the terms or
mode of settlement are gratuitous: It is not
likely.that our Government would authorize
M. Mercier to make any proposals to rebels
with arms in their hands, and it is equally
impossible that the French Emperor would
interfere between our Government and rebel-
Roue citizens, or make any promise of protec
tion, or guarantee any terms. The most that
was possible, was the expression of an opin
ion, thatan early submission would be the
best-for them, and that it might save to them
some remains of their institutions, which a
continuance of the war would endanger com
pletely.
Illexican Affairs
It appears from the late news from Mexico,
that the triple alliance between France, Eng
land and Spain, has been broken. England
and Spain have withdrawn from the expedi
tion. The Spanish troops have been re-em
barked for Mavens. The only troops . - now
left are 04 French, and they, it seems, are
going into a contest alone. A dispatch from
Washington says:
Seine official &deices have been received from
Havana to the 29th, and from Vera Cruz to
the 22d ult. They chiefly deal with the rup
ture which had taken place between the allies,
the French declaring that they must obey the
Emperor's orders to disregard the La Soledad
agreement and enter into no treaty with the
Constitutional Government.
The English and Spanish Commissions, on
the other* hand, say that by the refusal of
France to abide by the La Soledad agreement,
and the protection she was affording to Al
monte and other Mexican refugees, she had
broken the treaty of London, and if she in
sisted upon her hostile course to Mexico,
they would retire from the.. alliance and from
that country.
The French notified the Mexican Govern
ment of their hostile intentions, and the
Spanish forces had left the interior for Vera
Cruz. Gen. Prim sent a courier to the Captain
General of Cuba asking transportation to take
his troops to Havana. Gee. Serrano refused
to send any vessel, and ordered Oen. Prim to
remain at Vera Cruz until instructed from
Madrid.
Meantime, before Gen. Prim b e awed this
reply, his troops had taken passage in an
English man-of-war, a part of them had al
ready arrived at Havana, and the rest wore
soon expected. •
The Mountain Department
Wessuso,ye,., May 3.—Gen. George W.
Morgan, of GA, has been assigned to the
command of aim Ideas in this department, at
Cumberland Ford, Kentucky. In addition to
the regiments taken to that point by Gen.
Carter, after the fight with Zellicoffer, a part
of Gea. Garfield's. brigade, from Big Sandy,
has been sent there.
Several thousand Union men from East Ten
nessee hare crossed the mountains, through
various paths and gaps, and concentrated
there in sufficient numbers to form six new
regiments. They are being rapidly equipped
and drilled. This united force wilrform one
of the strongest divisions in the Mountain
Department.
Lien. Morgan has the reputation of being an
able officer. In addition to a thorough mili
tary education, he has acquired distinction in
the service in the Mexican war.
Ho will, no doubt, devise . means shortly to
drive the rebels from their strong position at
Comberland Gap, and extend relief to the per
secuted' Union men of East Tennessee.
Tae New Stave TELDZ THEATY.—The
Seward-Lyons treaty, for the suppression of
the African slave-trade, will be sent out to
England by special messenger by steamer
from New York.
The treaty is .beautifully engrossed, sealed
