iiiciik ovt <wur*n iiji; ?j>aica uiuuvnn^ u* uuuuji of president Jnan z. Kvcn .thc abandonment ' of MiiximilliiijiVi jouruey to Yucatan is ascribed to AppreUar.sious on the part of his Cabinet*of ^ difficulty with the United States, and it is staled that Marshall ltizino has ordered several important positions to be strengthened. Maximilian is'said to have lately received* an auto- J graph letter from Louis Napoleon, urging him to nioro energetic measures toward the.firm j establishment of tlio empire. Owing: to the mcagreness of tlic statement in'the dispatch: frorp Mississippi, purporting to gtvc the substance of Pros- , ident Johnson's instructions'to Govein.or , Humphreys, wc give by authority a full ( copy of the dispatch, which is as follows; .

In rcgly to my letter to the Secretary of the 'Jre^sury, in relation to the State of South Carolina assuming her portion of ihc direct tax, and giving her bond for the same, I have been info! hied thatthis cannot be done "unless sanctioned by* an Ac? of Congress." The letter of tRe" Acting Secretary of State is herewith, sent you. I have received no communications froiff London in reference to the bonds of South Carolina, due in England, which are herewith-sent you fur consideration. The bondholders propose "that'the whole arrears and the dividends to Jannury 18G7, inclusive, should l>e -fuuded into-a bonded uett, carrying the' same rate of iu"tefekt as the bonds of- stocks, on which the arrears-.have accrued. That a-sinking fund shall bo established (accumulative) of two per cent, per annum, which, n a five per cent, stock, will pay off the debt in twcr.ty-fivc and three-quarter veal's.'' You will probably receive ,a " communication from the South Carolina " Railroad Company in connection with tlr's bonded debt, ns^ the State has en- ; dorscd two millions of the bonds of that | Company, which fall due in January! if xt.'ai.d no provision has been made for their payment by the Company. 1 forward you also* the resignation of the State Audit. r, James Tapper, Esq? with his views as to the continuance of , the otllce.

Anticipating Evil.?Enjny the present whatever it may be, and be not- solic-: itons for the future; for if yon take your foot from the present standing andthrast it forward towards to-morrow's event; you arc in a restless condition. IF it be well to-day, it is madness to make tliie present miserable by fearing that it* maybe ill to-morrbw. . I Jo, therefore, is wise who-enjoys as much as possibb-; and if only that:day's trouble leans uponfHuj it is singular and finite. ^Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof;" sufficient hut - not intoler ble. But if- we -look abroad and bring into one day's thoughts the evil of many, certain and uncertain, what will be," and what will never be, our loud will be as intolerable as it is unreasonable. * Lkttjju fuom Gen., Sherman.?The following is. a copvof a .loiter written l>v Gnu.

ou ai our ucsoiuiu iuuu, umchimneys, our gravc-yahls wheWpm unburied our dead and sunk your rifle pits; where you broke to'fragments the iron railing and 'ocfk the very tomb-stones to put in your fortifications. We read your > exaltations of Northern bravery and Southern treason, and we skorncd you from the bottom of our hearts. Now when of'late an liiuuLle individual makes bold to bust his biler and express his sentiments in two brcef letters, you get up like a sanctified preacher and read him, a public lekture about hormonizin. Gentle sur, it don't bekum you. When I,vc insulted you about 2.000 times wc will be even.' But I don't iutend to insult you at all. If you are an honest man and a generous conqueror, I ain't after yon. When yon make an effort to con- . vince Harper's Weekly and the black republkins that onr pe'oblo, from General Lec and Mr. Davis, down to tfffr high privates, are just as good, and brave, and honorable as they are, I'll harmonize with yon.
