WANTKD.l.OOO.OOO pounds of Flour, In weehango for goods, at SACHS BROS'. The Debt of tlio World to Mexico. In the name of nil logics we call uponi Englanil unci tho " Great Towers " to in tervene. France sent mouths ngo iter regi ments to Mexico. They did not do what they undertook, they did not go where they pioposcd. tlieic has not been much blood shed. Hut the prestige of France is gone in the New World unless she makes u better luisincts of her Mexican expedi Hon. She has engaged with a Govern ment which she despised nnd can make no progrrsH in conquering lier. If it weie Fiance alone that is disgruml liy Hits fail ure, Ft unci' might stomach it as best blie could, uud nurse her digestion in private, while England chuckled at her iiumiliatioii. Uni the world knowd that the nnnirs of France and Engluhd nre, us Gen. Shield said of the North and the Smith," indom itably wpiul," nml the sneering new worm will kiiv that if Mexico can keen France nt bay," no South American Republic here- nrter need uo into convulsions oeeause hip English lion roars. The disgrace of Fiance in Mexico is reflected upon Eng t....l . nml tr ilimn ia niiv (mist'nli'iiev in Gladstone, nny forethought in I'lilnierstmi, any sensitiveness in the Timet, the Hritlsh Government will intervene lo give France u lift out of her Mexicun slough. Again, it is a great slmnic, when the Old Wot Id lias conspired to say Hint' our Government id plow, that France should prove by her own example that Moth in the movement of armies is respectable and in Int i.vni'Pli'il. Her trooiH landed lust unring 5 aided by Great Hiitain and Spain, they peacefully occupied Vera Cruz. Then tliu Allii'H withdrew, and France hud the task 011 her hands alone. When General Scott conquered Mexico, and we could not jiclp boasting a little about it, our European neighbors reminded us that wu had con quered " only Mexicans"." They were only Mexicans whom the French were going lo ' polish oil'." Tliev were only Mcxieum iiniler Kiiriignsn who met thu French ut Orizaba and hurled them back toward Cordova, where they yet remain entrench ed. They wero only Mexicans, disunited. (1 ssevered, proverbially scattered and peel ed, whom the French have compacted into unit v. Tlio itivusion has been 1 lie pressure from without that has made tlio Mexican Government respectable again, wurmed it willi frcj.li firee of patrioliMii, and nlrc-ady made more of i Tower of it than reviving Spain lias proved herself. The French in vasion lias done gloriously for Mexico, but it lias broiiL'ht French arms uud interven tion into contempt. Then, lios there been 110 jeering in France 11 1 thu r.low progress of our armies? Is not the Emperor distressed in Hie inter ests of humanity becauso we do not cruth out in twenty nmntlKSii reueiiiou more gi uiintic than ihe soil of France has room for? Hut here are the Emperor's M.OIIO troops for more than half a year on Hie road between Vera uz and Mexico, en trenched! They cannot go back to Vera Ciuzlor fear of the yellow rover. They c.iiinol advance because Ihe ghost of Z.ira gosa dead survives in the Mexican nrmies to forbid it. So they iiiu-t remain in in glorious inaction 'until reinforcements ar rive. The story is that more of Hiem are coming, enough to make iho French urmy 80.000 11 story that lucks probability, but if it is no! probable, then it is not probablo that Mexico will bo conquered, for every day's delay strengthens tho invad ed, who ore strong in their honest Presi dent Juarez, whom with n piitriotinm Hint our own Government might well imilate. Congress has entrusted with nil the power ho needs for purposes of defense. Altogether a more unfortunate uffair for Europe could not have happened ut this' juncture than this bungling allempl to in vade Mexico. England made nothing by her pliare in the enterprise, small us it was. Spain iudeed lost nothing, for from nothing iintliinnr run ha taken, and anv siens of vi tality in a Power 60 shattered, nre grateful j lo the watchers. Jiut 1110 umueror 01 Trance attempted to kick what lie thought was a sick kitten and loll he has thrust his polished boot and all it contains into the mouth of a tiger. H Napoleon had kept out of this scrope, Itueaia might have lis tened to his overtures for interference in our affairs. Wo have short memories nnd might have forgotten that France ever waged a war that could not 'he endorsed bv nil Christendom. Hut for this we might have heard England's indignant pro test against ihe barbarous custom of set tling diflicultics by means of war with moro patience, remembering, indeed, that in the old barbarous days England Hub shed blood and subjugated rebellious terri tories, but doubtful whether in our money making wo had not omitted to obsprve that tho foreign nations that used to fight liuvo ignored vur and settled their troubles hv nrliitrntinn nnd Peace Conventions. The Frcucb iuvoe'oD spoils ull this. lt displays France as a hypocrite unci Eng land as a Pecksniff, when they grow impa tient of our wtir upon uny other grounds than that they lose money while our South ern ports are blockaded, and will lo?e more if slavery is nbolUhed. We owe Mexico thunks lor teaching that France, which has had it all her own way in the Old World, must move very slowly or not ut all in the New. Wo owe Franco thanks for proving by her exumplo that great ar mies cuuuot travel us fast tis u hummer tourist with his little carpel-bug ; and also for slopping tlw mouths of our foreign, neutral, jealous and pretcutious relations. S. '. ttullchn. 4, Tho Constitutionality of tho Proclamation. Judge Curtis, of Huston, tins written a pamphlet on the constitutionality nnd ex pediency of the Pioclamatiou of Emanci pation; of course he is " aguitiBt thu Presi dent." Professor Parsons, of Cambridge, in reply, sent the following (erne commu nication to tho Doslon Daily Advertiser: There niu three questions concerning the President's Emancipation Proclamation. One, has he a constitutional power to lsuc it, an a civil, politicul or udmisiRtiulive act? Tho eecond, was it expedient? The thiid.lins lie constitutional power, as Commander-in-chief, to Ifjuc, ut thjs time, ns a military net ? These questions nre per fectly distinct. One of the most common and 'most fruitful onuses of error upon all xnliiccls is the iniiiirlinir ofouestious which are distinct in themselves, but so near each other that I hey contuse each other. Judge Curtis mingles these questions so entirely, that no study or his pamphlet enables' me to see clearly, us to much of his argument. ...... . - r - -- - - upon which of these questions it is intended to bear. Let us separate these questions. I Jim sure tliut the Picsidet. lias 110 pow er to einiiiicipatuu single fcluvc, as a civil, political or administrative net. Was it expedient ? T leave this question to the President. For lie is honest, he is capa ble; he has considered the question long, carefully and painfully, uud in ull the rela tions it can present itself. However wise I may be, or duilgo Curtis may be, on this subject, the President must be wiser, or all tules of probability fail. As to thu remaining question, 1 have not the slightest doubt of his constitutional power, ns Commander in-Chief, to issue this proclamation nan military act. If Hal leek, when beforo Corinth, might have cent u lorce a hundred uud filty miles to catch and bring into his lines a hundred negroes with the wagons, horses and provisions they were bringing to Ifeauregard. the Ties idciit and Comminder-iii-Chief, sitting in the centre, with wider views, wider netivsi ths. muv. il he cun.pievent the whole niasi i.r mIiivpx from labonnir to feed the rebel lion. IIu may, if he an, by tlio danger of insurrection, of starvation, or of loss of property, d.shcaiton the rebel and drive their armies home. To say otherwi.-e, would be lo say that he might strike at re bellion, but must be cartful not to strike uway tlio corner-stone. Can ho do it in laet ? This question touches the expediency of the meus-iiie, and this I leave to him. Dut it does not touch his militury right to threaten it. ami to do it if he can. Judge Curtis sneaks much and eloquently -of the President's right to iirilict "penalty" and "punishment," uiul the right of the rebels to the protection of tlioluw. Rebellion hns no rights. 1 f re rebellion .nieuns anything, it means the re nuncintion nnd destruction of nil law. And, therefore, it ir. accused beforo God and mau. No rebel has any right, a re gard to which would weaken or obstruct uny military measure needed to subdue the rebellion. Judge Curtis' argument would .rive tho (Constitution and the ilnw to the rebels, ns their swoid to smite with, and tlwir shield to suvu them ; und 'leave it to ns only us 11 fetter. Then ho tells us the innocent must suffer with the guilty. This is true and it is sad. Hut when the min gled fire and hail of God's .vengeance run along the ground they pursue mo devious path that they .may leave the homes of the innocent unharmed-; for when-national sins bring national calamities, the innocent suf fer witli the guilty. This may be cue ol the mysteries of Providence ; it is, nt nil events, a fact, And what has been will be. TiiKorim.uB Paiiso.nh. IiAUaiiiNti. The mian who laughs is n doctor without a. diploma.

My Dkar SiKTKit : In u letter received today, from you, I find u few plain qutn tions, which I now proceed candidly lo answer to the best of my nliility : 1st. "Do you chew tobacco or smoke cigiiM?' Aiis. T don't smoke cigars enough t" hurt, for in that part of the country where it has Ik'cii our fortune to flourish, such civilized luxnriiM cannot bo procured upon ordinary occasions. I smoke my tobacco in u pipe us a general thing, but take ci gars when I can get them. 'Jd. "Do you drink whiskey or awcar?'' Aim.
