Ever since last winter the copperhead preas of this olty has argued the feasibility of another invasion of the North by'a Southern army, and done what was posible to show the chances such a movement had for success. Consider- ing this invasion, now made and done with, as their especial baatling, these papers patted it on the back, and otherwise did what little they could. for it, and persistently tried to foster and keop alive the alarm that wasat frst caused by it. It bas been their continual argument that Beauregard would be left to hold Petersburg with Afty thousand men, while Lee, with another filty thousand, would invade the North. Such an invasion, they supposed, would draw to Maryland and Pennsylvania this sum- mer, a8 it did last summer, all the available militia of the North, and, of course, ali the organized militia regiments. And thea they proposed that insurrection, riot, conflagration and murder in tbe Northern cities, organized by the angelic “peace party,” would intimidate the general government into making peace oa any terms with Jeff. Davis,the master of all, these plotters, It is certain that the rebel leaders have given up all bopes of ‘keeping the Southern confede- racy alive by its own belligerent power. Battle has been tried in vain. Despite the slaughter of seventy-five per cent ef the young men of the Sousnern. States, the confederacy is in an inevitable decline, But they still hoped to save it by the initiation of another olvil.war at the North. Last yoar such a scheme, widely organ- ized was at the bottom of Lec’s advaice into "Pennsylvania, Many of the farmers in the dis- trict invaded belonged to this peace party, or to societies in affiliation with it, and they fra- ternized with the rebels. Philadelphia, at that time, would hardly raise a regiment to resist Lee. But the plan failed theo, because Lee was beaten: so soon that the militia was sent home in time to piévent the full influences of the riots. But it was considered then by those same plotters South and North that the plan could be more effectually car- ried out this summer, and they made their arrangements accordingly to try it. General Granv’s movement from the Rapidan on the 4th of May anticipated Lee’s contemplated march down the Shenandoah valley; and thus the commander of the rebel armies was not able to keep his appointment with the North- era copperheads within the borders of a North- “orn State. But, though compelled to stay near Richmond with the larger part of bis army, he sent a representative force, with orders to make a great noise and spread itself around and look as large as pogsible, and take Washington if it cou'd get it. In making this force look large the copperbead papers did great service. It seems probable also that ‘the peace men will manipulate the Chicago Convention so as to make it part of this great scheme to divide the North for the benefit of the rebellion: In 1860 this same faction, by means of a conven- tion, and assisted by the extremists of the other side—of the Liberator, Phillips and Greeley school—originated the Southern rebellion, by which they hoped to preserve that political power which the growth of the free States had taken out of their hands. Now, in 1864, they hope, also by means of a convention, to so divide and weaken the. North that its efforts against the rebellion must inevitably fail. But in this they will haves bitter disappointment. No division of the North or harm to the North- ern cause ean originate with the Chicago Con: vention unless, the peace faction is dominant there; and the moment the peace faction be- comes dominant in that convention the power of the convention before the people is gone. Universal repudiation of that convention will follow tue appearance of the peace policy in ite action. a Tue Isrertat FitiscsteR 1s Mexico.—The news received from Mexico confitms the pre- vious intelligence forwarded to us by our special correspondent. The republicans are determined to resist to the last the subversion of, tkeir government into an imperial French and Austrian colony, and bave the means, the men and the will to carry out their design, or, at any rate, resist their invaders with despera- tion. Maximilian has commenced with fire- works, music and hurrahs. He must, ere he can govern Mexico, use cannon, large armies, and hear the death groans of the people over whom be has usurped an eutbority which they retuse to admit. The Franco-Mexican journals vainly endeavor to palliate or deny the real position of affairs in Mexico, The facts are such as prove that, beyond @ small portion of” the country which is garrisoned by the l'rench, Mexico is still true to her republican institu: tions;,also that the new empire is bankrupt; that it vainly segks to bribe into a tardy ad- hesion the Mexican, generals, and that, with all his flourish and fine speeches, Maximilian is as yet merely a partially successful filibuster. The Franco-Mexican organ published in this city perseveres in its contradictions of the statements of our.correspondent. We expected thie, as from the commencement of the rebel- lion this journal has done all it could to injure our government and exalt Vrance. As the Mexican scheme originated with Napoleon, of course the French journal published here will be in favor of the new empire, will advocate Maximilian, and will writhe and groan st our exposure of his difficulties, The de- nials of thie journal will be all the more vehement as tbe exposure is hurt- ful to the interests of its French master: and it will endeavor, by abuse and re- crimination, to lessen its effect; but.this course will not alter facts, nor will it fix Maximilian’s shaky crown any the more firmly upon his brow. In Europe, as bere, it will be generally appre- ciated that the Mexican scheme ie a fail- ure; that ere Napoleon can expect ie success he must borrow more money to spend in its prosecution, send more troops to perish by disease and the weapons of the people they seek to conquer, and even then be at last igno- miniously driven off this continent by the government of the United States. Svcaestions xn Ipeas ror Mr. Fessexvax.. - Io another column will be found an {important and interesting letter on finance and financiers, written to Mr. Fessenden, Secretary of the Treasuty, by a resident of this city, who hes made the subject of finance his study for many years. Jt contains many valuable sugges- tions, and we trust that our financiers, and especially Mr. Fessenden, and all’ who have anything to doin shaping the financial course of the government, will carefully read, con- sider and examine into the plans proposed to relieve the country from ita vresent financial embarrassment, cruitment of volunteers to the credit of Masse obusetts for the Department of Northeastera Virginia, with bis headquarters at Washington; one for Southeastern Virginia, with his head- quarters at or near Fortress Monroe; one for North Carolina, with his beadquarters at Now- bern; one for South Carolina and Floride, with his headquarters at Hilton Hend; one for Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. with bia headquarters at Nashville.

What does it all_ amount tot Simply thie: that agents from Massachusetts will go into the districts named, under the pay of the Commonwealth, and steal every negro they can lay their hands on, inside and outside the rebel lines. That is what is meant by the term “finding.” These negroes will pass through a coarse sieve of examination, and be then duly’enlisted as United States troops, and credited to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Thus, in future years, when Massachusetts shall claim the credit of promptly filling her quotas of troops to fight the rebellion, it must be remem- bered that it is not owing to the patriotism of her own sons that such is the fact, but owing to the number of wretched negroes who may be “found” and dragged out of the swamps and canebrakes of the South. But Governor Andrew bas now an opportunity to inaugurate his favorite negro policy, although at great expense to the State, and we suppose it must have a fair trial. Massachusetts is the first in the market for negro recruits in the rebel States. What State comes next? Brockape Roxniw@ a Farwre, wit Loss to Aut Coxcerxep.—The copperhead press are continually favoring the public with accounts of the success of blockade running into rebel ports, and indulgicg in ill-repressed chuckling at every discomfiture of our blpckading squadrons and cruisers. To credit their statements the public would believe that blockade running was a safe and very lucrative business, and at- tended with but little difficu'ty or danger. It appears, however, from semi-oflicial data fur- nished the London Index (rebel organ) by its Richmond correspondent, that the whole busi- ness of blockade running has proved a faiture, and been attended with pecuniary disaster, if not complete ruin, to nearly ali conserned, net excepting the rebel government itself. From this statement it «ppears that during a period extending from the Ist of January, 1863, to the middle of April, 1864—about fifteen months and 2 baif—-out of seventeen vessels owned in whole or in part by the rebel government twelve have been captured or lest, one is worn out, one gone to Engtand for repairs, and three are still running. Out of one hundred and sixteen private vessels eighty-two have been captured or lost, six are out of the trade or lost, and twenty eight are still running. Thus it seems that out of a blockade evading fleet of seventeen belonging to the rebe! authorities the number bas dwindled down to the skeleton number of three, and out of one hundred and s'xteen pri- vate vessels no less than eighty-two bave been intercepted or destroyed by our blockading fleet or cruisers. Surely Bo enterprises can be successful with such immense percentage of losses; and the whole business can be regarded, we repeat, except in a few individual cases, as an utter failure, resulting in bankraptcy and ruin to those engaging in it. The proceedings of the courts of bankruptcy in London for some months past furnish further evidence of this fact, if further proof were needed; but none js. The list, as published in the London rebel organ, cannot prove very charming read- ing to rebel sympathizers there, and must fur- nish anything but a refreshing entertainment to the rebels and their chuckling sympathizers in this country. Tue PovrricaL ATMOSPHERE aT NEW OR- Leaxs.—The intelligence from New Orleans which we this morning publish im another colume is worthy of attention. In the first place, the after dinner speech of Major General Banks aud the response of Mr‘ "Roselius to the sentiments uttered by the former at the legal reunion in that city on the 6th inst. are significant, to say the least of them. Gene- ral Banks, in closing his speech, declared that it was “the duty of the people to make such sa- crifices in the field of battle as success may de- mand;” but that “the settlomens of our diffi- culties must proceed from the moral power of this country, which is greater amd more effica- cious than the sword.” This sentiment was thoroughly endorsed by subsequent speakers, and Mr. Roselius, among other things, declared that “the power of the United States is not that of the sword, but that of the pen, or, in other words, the moral power—the judgment of the people;” and then adds:—“The sooner these brave and valiant defenders of our country are again permitted to exchange the sword for the pen, the better it will be for you and your country.” The marked sensation that followed the utterance of these eentimente, and the ap- proval that greeted them, render them worthy of attention, That they mean more than is seen on the surface is plainly evident. The statements made by our New Orleans correspondent in regard to the numerous plantations that buve been abandoned by the planters of the South, the efforte made and the failure of all the plans edopted to manage these plantations, as well as the operations of the numerous agents of the Treasury Depart mient im that section, we also commend to the attention of our readers. There is evidently problem to solve iu connection with this quee- tion which the authorities at Washington have thus far failed to comprehend. It is destined to be a source of trouble and annoyance until some statesmanlike mind comes to the rescue with praotical ideas tn regard to it.
