On the 4th inst. General Dick Taylor surrendered to General
Canby at Magee's plantation, fourteen miles north of Mobile, on the same terms as General Lee. This completes the final sur- render of the armies east of the Mississippi. West of it Gen. Kirby Smith not only still holds out, but has issued an address from Shrieveport, Louisiana, denouncing the surrender of Lee, exhorting bis troops to redoubled efforts, and declaring their resources enough ,to protract the struggle. We believe that the Government of the 4United States attaches great importance to this manifesto, and is on this account, if on no other, determined not only not to interfere itself in Mexico, but actively to put down volunteering for the army of Juarez ; and Mr. Biglow has given M. Drouyn de Lhuys assurances in this sense. The United States no doubt reason, that though the war is at an end east of the Mississippi, there is still a great campaign to fight to the west of it, which will be indefinitely protracted and its difficulties indefinitely increased by a recognition of the Confederate power on the part of the Emperor Maximilian. We do not of course suppose the United States have any affection for the Imperial Government in Mexico, but they probably think it safer to bide their time till the
Emperor Napoleon is no more. All that we learn of Mr. Johnson's policy indicates a thoroughly shrewd, if a somewhat ungracious man.
