'The fidelity of the "boys in blue," in and o

In fact the soldiers every where are opposed to j
the radicalism which the leaders of the "Re

ill. Nt Johnson, on the 4th mat-, issued a pardon
to Meiigel Reed, of this place, recently indieto.l
for trea?on in the LT. S. District Court at Pitis
- and whose trial was to come off on the
21st inst. So cleariy was the prosecution oi
Reed a case of pa -Mention, tliat when the facts
connected ther.-with were ! i<l before the Presi
dent. that functionary did not hesitate a jno
menlto grant a pardon for whatever the srade o f
offence of which he be foun 1 guilty. T'h.-
pardon was granted to young R- vl tn order to
save la in from the jiersecution of men whose
conduct shows that they scruple at nothing to
gratify their malice. Fairly dealt with, there
would have been no oiiance of his conviction;
hot in order to head otf the scoundrels who
were hunting down this hoy, (for. he it rerncm
itcred Mongol Reed was not 1 7 years of age
when the crime with which lie was charged is
represented to have been commuted) it was
deemed proper to make application fur pardon
Still. Reed and his friend" were willing and
prepared to go to trial and did not ittteru! to
plead Mengefs pardon in bar of further procc. 1-
ings, but to use it only ia case of conviction.
On Monday last, however, 11. S Commission
er Sproul telegraphed to John Cessna, (who
seerns to have Iteen mixed up with this prose
cution) that Reed's presence would not he re
quired at Pittsburg, the ptlrdon grahted hint by

was nobody like Gen- Cotfroth, in their estima

and to vote, with him, against Negro Suffrage.
A FAI^EHOOD. —The Abolitionists, unable to
a_v anything truthfully against Messrs Culborn

that thoy once belonged to tho Know Nothing

MN EDITOR: —
Permit m<- to write you a communica
tion from this {mint, although I fear I shall not
be interesting, having little of importance to
communicate; everything being very dtilj at pres
ent Ihe ortly fore© here now is the 25th Ar
my Corps, which is scattered from here to ('sa!-
veston and north to Austin Some 15,00!) col
ored troops ate at present on the Rio Grande.
What our present mis-ion is, is really mole than
i can say, wiles*, indeed, that of nil army of
occupation and observation. We are busily em
gaged in drilling and relax nothing of our for
um r discipline. At first our neighbors were
greatly excited at the greatness of <>er force,
thinking our attitude eminently hostile to their
kind of uovernmeirt. Cortina? an I his hand nre
constantly among us and reieivi much nssu
r a.ft 1 of '"good cheer*' frtien uiir officers; at least
iii- appearance would indicate it, being guilty
of fivquent libations. Vlas ' Mexico is most
unfortunate, being controlled by an i 'iterate
pri'B'.bo >d and engaged ander various an i base
leads;® in iVcquent civil and foreign contest*,
until wan out, or shorn of much of her fair
ootito-y, b!; > i* now, the object of pity to her

W'siie I n t'mas occupies the territory to within
u mi;., of the city, frequent skirmishes being
th.' result, and often ewtiujein the ccvtwt cru
citcs. K r instance, if either party takes a
p.-in i*, he is 'Tustlladed" on t!ie spot. How
Ion" this order of r'tings shall Continue, is mora
than we ran till, but 1 i'ope not long, as every
principle of Christian charity would demand
interference (u stay the hand of h'oud Hitter
is the cup pour Mexico has to drink? but I
question if .-lie ever will lie better situated, ■Ci
ther under a monarciiial gnverinent, or as a
Heoubiic governed by licr own base leaders
Sail, with all the manifest unfitness of Mexico
for d roooratic rule, we are far from being in
sjrtnpathy with Louis X ipnleon and M :\imil
ian in their efforts to bring Mexico under for
eign domination. It i- a popular idea and a
j i-t one, that *A u''i ieans shoul! rule America."
M xito is our next neighbor and we are not
di-pleased to see the troops of a power which
was from first t • last in sympathy with the reb
el-, upon tlx- border f the section but lately in
rebellion. Then our Monroe doctrine is in the
way, and. therefore, if we had the inclination,
or dtspositi 1.1 to favor Max. in his present de
signs, we would tie quite inconsistent, llcnoe,
duty, consistency and policy demand from us a
pointed repudiation of the Imperial dynasty.
He vend all this, we know full well that Uie op
po limit) afforded by ouf rebolion was taken
a- the occasion to force a foreign prince upon
.Mi-xico.
Tne leader of Hie "Liberals. "* Juarez, has
tun* far successfully maintained the struggle,
ilthough having hut a few thousand men, and
with such Iro y? as Mexicans make, has been
abl ■ to maintain hiuisctt, thus far, against the
veterans of the tir-t military power of the old
world. This is proof enough that he has the
-yinputhies ot Ids people, the ; r patriotic in
stincts ueing with him- Juarez has from first
to last been the firm friend and supporter of our
gov prune n', and whenever he could give us aid
in any w iy. he did so cheerfully and without
sunt. Therefore, J hold it is our duty to exer
cise fidelity and extend all the n?ural support
of our government, in assisting him to drive
the base invader from his soil. Ido not court
war, neither do I think that war could result
from such a policy. However, we are pretty
well prepared for it, should it come, and with
our present armies and navies could set at defi
ance—not only those of France, but of all
E'jrojic. I think Nap >leun appreciates the sit
uation, and with a strong protest from the "De
partment of State,he would not attempt the
augroentaibn of his present force in Mexico.
This, of itself, would be sufficient, for as soon
as the people would see that they Were suppor
ted Ivy the United States, they would rise in
sufficient numttenf to expel the present invaders I
from their soil. Our nary could certainly pre
ven. the landing of others. Should we con
clude to enforce the Monroe doctrine, there re
mains n'o alternative but annexation, for us.
the 'Mexican people have proven themselves
incapable of self-government. It would re- i
quire fores to reduce them to order, the em
ployment of a considerable army and a large
expenditure of means; but this would be more
than made up to us, by the acquisition of the
immense mines cf gold, silver, lead, copper,
quicksilver and other minerals every where
scattered through Mexico, fbeae mines are
as vol little known,tyring to the unsettled con
dition of things. Daily, however, we hear of
extensive discoveries of those valuable miner
als, whoso richness can only he .developed by
tho establishment of good order. Owing to
the influx ot Mexicans, specie is quito plenty ;
In Brownsville, silver being worth" no more
than "Greenback*' in ihe purchase of good*.
Brownsville is getting to be a place of much
business. It is 130 mites from the llio Grande.
We use only the tvater of the river, as the
welis aro very brackish. There is considerab! t
sickness here uow.—More anon. Yours, H.

CAUTION FROM THE
JMERICM WITCH CO.
It having come to our knowledge that imititions
of the Aineiican Watch have been put upon the
market in grest number, calculated by their utter
worthies*ne*s to injure the reputation of our genu
ine products, to protect our own interests and the
public f.om imposition, we again pubii-h the trade
niaik? by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The FIRST has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltbam, Mass.,"
engrjved on the inside plate.
The Second has the name
" aPPLETON.TRACY be CO., Wahhana, Mass.."
engraved on the inside plate.
The 1 hied has the name
'•P. S. BARTLETT, Walthain, Mau.," engraved
on the insifle plate.
All The above styles have the r.sme Amencan
Wdtch Co. printed on the dial, and are warranted in
every respect.
The FOURTH has the name
"WM. ELLEKY, Boston, Mass.," engraved on
the iq-ide pi te, and is not named on the dial.
All ihe above described Watches are made 01 va
rious size*, and are told in gold or silver cases, as
may be required.
It is hardly pos*ible for us to accurately describe
the num< rotis imitations to "vhLh we have alluded.
They are usuaHy inscribed with names so nearly
approaching our own as to escape the observation
Of the unaccustn ned buyer. Some are represented as
made bv the "Union Watch C 0.," of Boston, Mass.,"
—in such company existing. Some are named the
•■Soldier's Watch," tc be sold as our fourth or Wm.
Fllery style, usually known as the "Soldier's
Watch." Others are named the "Appleton Watch
Co," otheis the "P. S. B-utley," instead of our
"P. S. Bar'.lett ;"* besides many varieties named in
such a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American Watch
Company.
We ai-o caution the public, and particularly soi-
Ait rs, against buying certain articles called Watch
es, so freely advertised in illustrated papeis as
".Army Watches," "Officers' Watches," "Magic
Time Observers," "Arcana Vatches," Ac., the pri
ces of which are stated to be from seven to sixteen
dollar*. A good Watch, in these times, cannot be
afforded for any arh money.
