Juarez, the Mexican President, has issued a New Year's Proclamation, which the Philadelphia Inquirer says-- "Does not read like the despairing fare-well of a chieftain who abandons a desperate cause. He conjures his countrymen to adhere to the fortunes of their country, not with the despondent words of one who doubts the issue of his appeals, but with a steady confidence which inspires and encourages.--The spirit of this sturdy Republican is not daunted by ill- fortune. There is no token of giving up the contest in his words. He speaks to the minds and the hearts of his countrymen, and bids them to be of good cheer. He counsels new efforts, and is resolved to maintain his struggles for Constitutional Government. The position of Maximilian continues most unhappy. He is in the condition of the man who bought a lawsuit. "Instead of being welcomed as the great pacificator of Mexico, he is an object of unrelenting hate to a large majority of the people whose good wi

The Herald says: "It appears from the above that the emigration to the Southern States has already set in with a fair prospect that within a period not very remote the number will equal that which annually goes toward the fertile prairies of the Great West. "The end of the war and the abolition of slavery are changing the current of emigration, and the attention of foreign agriculturists is now directed toward our Southern section. "No other part of the world furnishes more attractions for the hardy immigrant than the luxuriant soil and balmy climate of our Southern latitudes. There is field in our cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar-producing regions for the employment of whole armies of hardy pioneers,

Washington items.the white House. It being Cabinet day, visitors kept away from the Executive mansion. Preparations are being made to facilitate the ingress and egress of visitors to the New Year's levee. Workmen are engaged preparing a temporary outlet from one of the windows of the East Room, so as to give an easy means of retiring. The covering for the hall carpet is being laid, and the new curtains for the East Room are expected in time to be suspended by that day. It is to be hoped that relic hunters will leave knives and scissors at home, and not mutilate the new curtains. Senator Sumner's attack on the President.

Washington, December 28. --General Butler will reply to General Grant's battle criticism before New Year's, and will afterwards return to Washington for the winter. The rumor that General Frank Blair will soon succeed Mr. Stanton is untrue. Mr. Stanton will not leave the War Department for the present. General Grant purchased and paid for his dwelling-house in Washington last month, for which he gave thirty thousand dollars. The statement that it was given him is untrue. Secretary McCulloch is not disposed to accept the offer of the banks of a temporary loan of one hundred million of dollars, and will probably adopt the usual mode of getting funds. Mr. Hooper, of the Ways and Means Committee, is in confidence with the Secretary in regard to the matter. Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, has just arrived here. He reports favorably respecting the condition of affairs throughout the South. Unless the test oath is repealed, not more than four of the Southe
