Intelligencer. Chronicle. Republican —_—_—_+<-- -—____ SAD FATE OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, Apart from all questions of State policy, and considered as & personal matter. the deplorable condition of the Princess Charlotte, the wife of Maximillian, as disclosed by a letter from Kome. published in the Gazette du Midi, appeals strongly to our sympathies, and leads us to re- gret the unfortunate events which have tended to unsettle her mind. It also affords an argu. ment against the few masculine women, who would have their sex euter the political arena, and engage {in wrangling and contention, re- sviting too often in humiliation and defeat, which these “strongminded” feel able to en. dure, but from whbica their more sensitive sis- ters shrink with disgust and loathing. Man with bis blanted sensibilities can endure an amount of abuse and opposition whicn would oyer- whelm a sex in which the passions and feelings predominate over the reason. Thus Maximili- Sn, with all bis pride and ambition, wonld re- treat from a position which be can no longet oc- cupy. with regret no doubt, but with fortitude, consoling himself probably with the trite and homely observation, (if it figures in the philoso- phy of the Hapsburgs) “what can’t be cured, must be endured.” while his partner, witn bo more pride, but keener sensibilities, is driver to distraction. The writer referred to above, after stating that ina first interview with | the Sovereign Pontiff, the Princess discussed with great earnestness the question of a Con- cordat with Mexico, and insisted with much peTuipacity cn obtaining from the Holy Father concessions which he deemed inadmissible, says “The Empress would not yield to the argu- ments, supremely wise and equitable, with which the Holy Father met ber demands; she would continue disputing with him, and per- sisted with incredible obstinacy. Her Majesty, however, is not so deserving of blame as might appear: all that was irregular and eccentric in ber conduct toward the Holy Fatner must be avributed to the nervous excitement from which she has suffered so long and which fre- quently disturbs her reason. She went at last one morning at 9 o'clock to the Pope without any previous announcement, she declared to bim that she was the object of an atrocious peTseention; that there were designs on ber life: that ap affempt had been made to Poison her at the Hotel de Rome: that she did not beheve herself safe, and coula not dine there. The Holy Father received her with quite = paternal Kindness, tranquilized and reassured her, and ordered that d.aner should be served for her in the library o1 the Vatican, where she passed the rest of the di y. in the evening am endeayor was made to get her to return to the hotel, but she refased, con- stamtly repeating that she was followed by as- sassins, and that she oelieved herself safe no- Where except in the Vatican. Her mind then again wandered, and she even objected to Swallow a giass of water, fearing danger. The Pope then ordered an apartment to be pre- pared for herin bis palace, where she passed the night and the following day. She was still there, not being willing to quit the Vatican, imagtning that she saw murderers every where ready to tage her life. Several foreign ladies ‘were invited to pass the night with her, as she had sent away her Iadies of honor, whom she world not sliow to come near ¥; The pa- Toxysm of aberration appears have been determined by dispatches received that morn- me.” On the same subject a Paris letter in the Nouveliste de Rouen bas the following: “According to letters from Rome trom a trustworthy authority, her Mexican Majesty is suffering from great nervous excitement, but which in nowise excludes the exercise of her reasoning facuities. The agitation is man- aiested each time that there is any question of Mexico or that Mexicans are in presence of her Majesty. Jt is a crisis which above all ree quires both bodily and mental calm.” iD STATES. The important letter from Major General P. H. Sheridan, commanding Department of the Gult, to Brevet Brigadier General E. X. Sedg- Wick, commanding the Sub- District of the Rio Granae, published elsewhere in our paper to- day, is another mdication of the firm and de- termined attitude of our Government on the | Mexican question. General Sedgwick is or- dered to give the heartiest sapport to the only Government in Mexico recognized by our own; the only one which is really favorable to us, and to warn adherents et any party or pretend- ed Gevernment in Mexico, or im the State of Tamaulipas, that they will not be permitted to Violate the neutrality laws between the Libera! Government of Mexico and the United States General Sheridan says «these instractions wilj be enforced against adherents of the Imperia, buccanerr representing the so-called imperial Government of Mexico, and aleo against the Ortegs, Santa Anna, and other facuons. Presi- dent Juarez is the &cknowledged head of the Liberal Government in Mexico.” There is no mistaking this plainly worded document, and Wwe apprehend that while nothing will be done dignity of the United States are to be fully Maintained, regardless of consequences. This manly, sraight-forward course will be endorsed by all Americans, regardiess of party. BOUNTIES. The Second Compirolier of the Treasury has decided that under the iaw of July 26, 1586, the mother and father of a deceased soldier, Provided there has been no abandonment on either side, are jointly entitled to receive pay- ment of the bounty in cases where the widow of the solaver bas remarried before the powege of the act and there is po minor children a Sn insttioce where the heirs of a deceased sol- Gier claimed the bounty provided by this law at bas been decided that if the soldier died be- fore the passage of the act from causes other than wounds or disease contracted in service, OF if be died ofter tts passage from any cause, the beirs were not entitled to the bounty; but if he died prior tothe enactment from wounds OF disease contracted in the service, the bounty desceud- to the heirs in the order and on the conditions named in the law.

The treedmen had be- come impressed with a sense of insecurity. and had been rendered suspicious of the whites and less efficient and faithful as labo- ters. The planters were busily engaged in cotton picking. The season had proved an unusually unfavorable one, much of the crop having been lost owing to excessive rains, overflows, &c. Owing to the non-cultivation of plantations for the past three or more years, from one-third to one-half more laborers have been required to produce the result which would have been attained by the usual num- ber bad the lands been continnousty culti- vated.
