Tho Blunders of the Jacobins 6a the Mexican Question. * ‘Bepidly Failing Health of the Wasuxatos, Sept. 8, 1866. MAXIMILIAN, THE MONROE DOCTRINE, SPECIAL {). MNVOTS AND NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS. ‘The letter in. this morning's Tribune, purporting to Come, from this city, and referring to the Mexicah em- ppite ag'd the messenger of Maximilian to the United Gates, ks all bosh, The correspondent of the Hemsup mover inti 2ated that tho Mr. Aguirre do spoken of-im the ter was an envoy of Maximilian, forhe knew Detter. The ‘neasenger or envoy was another person, Mr. Degollade, who, W88 named distinctly. This looks very wgauoh like an att, mpt to blind the world as to the facts stated le the Hmm? Has Maximilian any agents hero who dro endeavor tg to cover up the humiliating webuff the Empera” met with m his efforts to ebtain a quasi recogr, ition? Mr. Corwin, who was ‘Minister in Mexico, m74 who is a claim agent, fan agent for obtaining pan tons, and.an agent for other ‘Baings, is quoted as author, ty a8 to the porféct fitness and reasonableness of the Mex, ‘can empire. ‘This writer, as well as Mr. Corwin, may have’ #0me reasons for liking Qhe govéroment of Maximilian; , Dut when he speaks of President Johnson having no repug Bance to the recogni- tion of the Mexican empire, and tha, * Mr. Seward is sup- posed to look rather complacently .™ it, itis simply absurd. Every one who knows anyth, ‘ng at all knows his is not so, but that the contrary is t. truth. The President does ‘look with repugnance upon ™Monarchical Anstitutions on this continent, and particn arly upon the insulting attompt to erect an empire onyUr border ‘while our hands were tied with civil war. Nor «'oes Mr. Seward look complacently upon this ephemen'! and antagonistic government usurped. over a sister repn Dlic. Let the Tribune correspondent try his hand the next time at something a little more reasonablo ard that ca'2 be more easily swallowed. HE CONDITION OF CAPTAIN Wikz. Tho petition of the prisoner Wirz, read to the Military Commission this morning, Which prays for the consolation of religion at the hands of two reverend fathers, who were ‘the officiating chaplains in the Andersonville prison dur- ing the yoar 1864, substantiates the intelligence sent from this office a fow days since relative to the excitement and terror existing inthe mind of the accnsed, consequent upon the damaging character of the evidence now being Drought out. His health is evidently failing, and should his digorder continue unchecked, a few days will make his attenaance upon the court impossible.. Judge Advo- ‘oate Chipman said to-day that while Wirz was an atro-. cious criminal, and responsible for a great many crimes, there aro others above and higher than he whom the gov- ernmént will eck to hold responsible for greater crimes, ‘This wos the theory of the government and the pur- spose of introducing the record evidence this afternoon Defore the Military Commission. Among the visitors to-day at the examination were the ‘Hon. Arthur Kin- lard, momber of the English Parliament, and Mr. Lewis J. Jennings, the new American correspondent of the London Times. ‘THR NEW YORK REPUBLIUANS PERMENTING. ‘The political cauldron is once more in a bubbling con- dition; and the Greeleys, Weeds, Wilsons, Raymonds, and others of that ilk, are bobbing to the Washington gurface in rapid succession. Greeley bad scarcely taken his departure before Weed arrived in hot haste. Gov. ernor Fenton is also on the ground, and Raymond is ex- pected to-morrow. The sudden commotion is inter- preted to mean a feeling of uneasiness and alarm at the | (hase election aairs are taking in New York. These expected the Seymour influence to either pre- 1 ia Convention or bea disturbing element in the coun- Gils, ‘Tat it was noither excites their surprise and live- Meat apprehension. They now feel that they will not be Permitted to walk over the course alone, but must ‘bring forward strong men, on an unobjectiohable ;,!atform, or Inour many chances of defeat, They are, however, 60 everse.to any sudden reconciliation with Greeley and his supporters that they choose rather to court the aMfili- ation of conservative war democrats by offering to raeet ‘on the common ground of supporting the reconstruction policy of President Johnson. Weed, Raymond and Cor- undoubtedly visit Washington to ascertain the of leading republicans on the subject, to learn to ‘what extent they may rely on governraent patronage pro vided they bring the party over to that single eunncix Wo.

The accepted vidder 4n this caso is the first colored man to whom a contract ‘tor carrying the mails has been awarded since the de- partmont was organized. Of his own free will and ac. ‘cord, finding no tine of stages on the above rond, he came forward with commendable enterprise and industry and tendered a proposal for the service. THE PUBLIC LANDS. ‘Twelve thousand six hundred and sixty-seven actes of public land were taken up under the Homestcad law, for actual gottioment, at the land office in Booneville, Mo., during the month of August, The cash sales for the ‘same time amounted to two thousand two hundred and eighty two dollars. KIRBY SMITH ORDERED TO WASHINGTON, It is reported that Kirby Smith has been ordered to report to the War Department, and is now en rout from Now Ortoans. ‘THR BXTRA COMPENSATION TO OFFICERS. Early in the ware number of additional aids de camp was provided for by act of Congress to be assigned to duty with major generals throughout the service, ‘object boing to build up a corps of competent officers for stall duty exclusively, something after the plan of ‘the staff corps in the French army. The appointments ‘were accordingly made by the President, and the aids * at first assigned to duty with general officers in the honorably discharged Adivooste General Holt *docides that owing to the twohnioal wording of the taw this corps of additional dda belongs to the regular army and is not entitled to the expe copmensstion. althouch thoy may pavo bogn IB tered in the same day and sorved side by side with the Volunteer officer, and have received honorable discharges of the same date. This was obviously not the intention of the framers of the law; but the opinion is sustained by the Adjutant General of the army and the Secretary of War. Most of this corps is mustered out, but the ‘same constraction of law that denies them extra compen- sation should in justice to all concerned retain them in the service. The attention of Congress will probably be called to the subject at an early day. As a rule staff of. cers are worked harder, exposed to danger oftener, and receive less promotion than any others in the service.

Arteurt to Drown a Pouceman.—Av the quarter to ‘one o'clock boat from Hamilton avenue ferry was about to leave the slip for New York two New York thipves,. who had been out on a “bender,” approached the large gate, and one of them paid the fare. The other, the ferrymaster observed, instead of passing through the gute, stealthily made his way to the office and. imme- diately set to work to rob the money drawer, He had-his hand in the drawer when he was detected by the ferry- master, Who drove him away and ordered him either to go on board the boat or betake himself out of the prem- ises, The fercymaster being a man well advanced. in years, and only one deck hand being on daty, the thief became insolent and commenced abusing every one, pas- sengers and employes, indiscriminately. The ferrgmen we thealarm, and shortly afterwards officer Kelly, of the Forty-third precinct, came to the rescue and at- ‘tempted to arrest tho thieves, when a desperate struggle ensued, during which the officer was precipi- tated into the river, but suceceded in bring- ing his assailant with him. In the exoite- ment. of rescuing men from drowning one of the thieves made his escape. The other, who gave his mame as Daniel Anglim, was arrested and taken to the Forty-third precinct station house, where he was detiined uuti! yesterday morning, and taken be- fore Justice Walsh, who committed him to jail in default of $250 bail. This ferry is totally un after eleven o'clock at night, asat that hour the police officer ‘on duty is withdrawn, and from that till morning it is dangerous for any person to travel in that vicinity. are more bad characters crosring and recrossing this ferry at late hoiirs at night than any other ferry on the East river, and the Police Commissioners should sec that an officer is kept on duty at both sides of the ferry all night.

M THE APPROACHING VEIT OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON—INTRREST- ING PARTICULARS—THE CABINET TO COME. Is will bo remembered that in my despatch from thjs city bearing date August 13, and appearing in the Hewat on tho 16th ultimo, I announced a proximate visit of his Excellency the President of the United States and @ portion of his Cabinet to Richmond, for the pur- pose of attending upon a great semi-civil and semi-mil- tary council to be held here. Much obloquy was cast upon the statement by the newspaper press of the coun- try, probably for the reason that the news appeared for the first time, and exclusively, in the columns of the Herauo. I ask now to say that in making the original ‘statement I spoke upon veritable information, which has since been amply confirmed by the distinguished party, whose approach to this capital, it is alleged, will be the occasion of widespread joy to the citizens of the ravaged and desolated South.
