A NEW EXCITEMENT. Onward to the Halls of the Montezumas. An Emigration or Filibustering Expe- dition Fitting Out, Reo ae. ae, A new mysterious military project, assuming the form of a Mexican emigration schome, bas developed imelf in this city, Washington and several other parts of the country, very suddenly and simultanevusly. The country has been somewhat startled and much excitement haw already been created, althongh the afthir has only been announced publicly about forty-eight hours People want to learn all about it. Whatdoes it mean? Is it another filibustering expedition? Is ita plan to help the failing fortunes of the Emperor Maximilian, or 18 it, om the contrary, the commencement of a grand hostile move- ment against the French ascendancy in the land of the Axtec#? Such are the questions which people are asking, Dut find it very difficult to have answered in @ setisfnc- tory m@nner. The following advertisemontg appeared yesterday in. the advertising columns of the Humatn:— -~ MEXICO, MAXIMILIAN AND MONKOR DOCTRINE: Ali persons who desire joining a company soon start- ing “to make a strike” for fame and fortane in the land of golden ores and luscious fruita, aided and eee by the ‘patrioic President of thal repablie, will please mito J.

J. Tucker—the “P.M. Bo." — that the press would not be admitted to the meetings of the Emigration Company, and that it was desirable not ta divulge their plans and proceedings for the prosent. He oven refused to state where the place of meeting was Under there circumstances we can only leave our readert to guess about the detaila, In connection with the subject we may call the atten. tion of thoge whom It interests to the following call of Col.
