Washington, October 30. Colonel Lewis D.
Varnibell, the United States Minister to Mexico,
lett ibis city last evening, with credentials ad
dressed to the Juarez Government, and with full
instructions, conforming in every respect wltU
the tripartite arrangement, previously commu
nicated to you, between the United States
France, and the republic of Mexico.
Mr. Campbell will probably visit his home in
Ohio, en rvu'e lor Mexico.
Under the arrangement now perlected, Napo
lean is to commence the withdrawal of the
trench army from Mexico next mouth, and
although he Las a year from that time to com
plele the evacuation of Mexico, it is more than
probable that the whole army will be withdrawn
bjlor before the first of January next.
Oi course, with tli withdrawal of the French
army, Blaximilian takes his departure, and the
farce ot an empire on the North American con
tinent is ended.
it is proper to state that this determination of
me political Government ot Mexico has been
attained through amicable negotiations with all
parties Jntertsu d.
In view of the great political changes antici
pated in Mexico under the adjustment of her
governmental affairs brought about under this
management, and the weakness of the Juarez
Government, alter the protracted wars that
nave been lorced upon it, to maintain its exist
ence It has become imperative in the interests
ot all nations concert ed that a stable Govern
ment should be guaranteed to her by some re
sponsible power.
It is possible that the terra "guaranteed" is
rather strong to express the relations assumed
towards the Republic by the Government of
theUnitca Mateo; but the ariminlbtrution under
takes to extend to the Juarez Government in
Mexico a protectorate, which is to be opera
tive, however, only in case of an emergency.
In plainer terms, our army on the Rio Grande
and our Beet in the Gull are to be held in
readiness to ass-ist Juarez, should such assist
ance become necessary to him in establishing
his authority as President of the Republic, and
In bringing to work tn lull visor the machinery
of a republican Government.
In order to an intelligent exercise of this pos
sible armed intervention, tne Administration
bas determined to send with Minister Campbell
a military.nfllcer of hiiih rank, eminent abilities,
and sound Judgment, clothed with power to act
in the emere. ncy referred to. . Lieufcnaut
General W. T. Sherman is now spoken of in this
connection, and also Mnlor-General W. S. Han
cock. Tho responsible mission, it is strongly
indicated, has bein tendered to General Sher
man, and there is rensouto believe that-he will
accept it; but should he decline, General Han-
,cock will undoubtedly be cent.
It is no part ot the plan to move any United
states force into Mexico, until nn nmatnn moii
arise to render such a report necessary. But it
is hoped that the nttitudu a-auuied by tbe utyred
states thus puMicly, in sending an officer to
Mexico cloihed wim this power, will be sufii
cieat to overawe the various political lea lers of
that country, and the uumro'i rival factions
thai, beset the land, and lead to a unanimous
Bul'Vis-non to and support of the only Govern
ment that has any pretensions to regularity and
constitutionality, or any ability to establish and
maintain itself.
In consideration of the friendly offices thus
assumed by the Govetmneut of this country
towards Mexico, the Government of that coun
try, which is thus recognized and established,
agree to cede to tne United States the territory
as heretofore coinmuuicV.cd to you. The pre
cise boundary of the territory thus to be ceded,
is not possible at this time to give. But the
future southwestern boundary line of the United
States will probably leave the Rio Grande at or
near Ihe point where it now does; but taking a
' more southerly course, will run In a straight
line to the Gull of California, striking that Gulf
at a point south of Quay mas, so as to include
that important seaport within the limits of the
United States. We thus gain the whole ot the
peninsula of Lower California, with the more
valuable portions of the States oi Sonora and
Chihuahua, with all their immensely rich de
posits of precious metals, the undisturbed navi
gation of the Gulf of California, and a much
sboiter and more practicable route to the Pacific
toast.
A Communication from General Ortega
to Ueneral Sheridan.
New Orleans, October 29. General: On my
arrival in this city I read in the newspapeis an
olllcial communication, signed by you, and
addressed to the commander of the sub-district
of the Rio Cranda, Brownsville, Texas. Said
communication touches and decides, in a mili
tary manner, international questions ot a grave
Import concerning the neutrality laws, which
are violated the moment you promise the
heartiest support to the adherents of 8enor
Juarez, and denominate a faction the upholders
of the legitimate Government of Mexico.
This, sir, although indirectly, is an attempt to
impot-e on that nation a government against
Its will and aga'nst its constitutional laws. It
is also an attempt to interfere .in the internal
questions of the Republic of Mexico, which she
alone has the right to decide. The Government
of the United Slates has not heretofore taken .
any part in them. I at first could not under
stand your communication: but mature reflec
tion convinced me at last that it did not con
cern me.
Such was my Impression: and the day before
yesterday 1 called at your residence to have the
Louor ol paying you my respects, in testimony
of the good relation existing between the
United States and the Mexican Republic, which
I heartily desire to preserve.
Yesterday, however, two officials of your gtaff
handed mii copy of the above mentioned do
cument, without ante-communication, for me,
and only with mj name written on the enve
lope, as a sign that it aa addressed to me. I
once more read its oomHi and could not be
persuaded that It concerned Ht all, or what
you meant by transmitting Uvtne in such a
manner, for reasons to whicU it U at present
not necessary to refer, but whlsh are wai known
to your Government and to a great poruu 0f
the Inhabitants of the United States.
I have been residing in New York, and left
that city on the 26th int. on the way to my
' native ountry, traversing the territory of this
illustrious nation, under the safeguard and pro
tection of its laws. It is not ignored in the
United States that I am the Constitutional Pre
sident ot the Mexican Republic; that such posi
tion lequVros of me the performance of great
and painful on ties, from which no one, un
less violating the laws, can divert me but the
, eaue supreme national will that granted me
their vote.
That it 1 not tne & facto Government of
Juarer.fcbe only one friendly to the United
fiUtes, fcut that the great Liberal party of my
country Is also friendly, and Jown ceased to
jeprcifstitfjcja J fee YMilaVe ULvCy-U'
stUutton tjf the republic. For the above reasons
I deny that I have created or represented a fac
tion. I am the true and only representative of
the constitntional law of Mexico, to which
nation, I repeat, belongs the right to decide its
internal questions. For the same reaon that I
represent the constitntional principles of
Mexico, I have acted, during my residence in
the United States, with the propriety and dis
cretion which my mission demand.
The superior authorities ot the United States
have irore than one proof of tho truth of my
assertion. 1 am determined to act always with
the same propriety and discretion, and you may
rest scared that! will not violate the neutrality
spoken of in your communication. Those who
support my claims hive not even taken part in
the conspiracies which have been formed on
the Rio Grande to subvert the present order
of things on the Mexican side. In conclusion,
1 must state that the reason that Juarez
has heretofore been considered as the head
of the Liberal Government of Mexico, is
owing to the fact ol my necessary absence from
that "untry, the evidence of which can be
established by official documents that I have
already published. I do not admit that your
communication applies to me. Reasons of pub
lic policy, which I do not desire to mention,
and are readily understood, affirm me in this
belief; otherwise I would be more explicit, and
protest neainst such communication in the
name of the Mexican Republic, and of the laws
of nations, appealing for justice, it necessary, to
the wlte and liberal laws of the United States.
I have the honor to be jour humble servant,
(.Signed) J. G. Ortbga.

THE VESSEL TO CARRY MAXIMILIAN HOME ALREADY
AT VESA CRUZ.
There appears to be some mistake in the des-
patcn dated 1'aris, October 20, referring to an
Austrian friiratf lmviticr hutn onnt (r,m tUdc
bv the Emperor Francis Joseph to take Maxi-
uiiiou in.j Hum luexicu, as iae Austrian cor
vette Dandalo has been for two months past
lying off Vera Cruz, fitted up to receive the
pseudo Emperor, and to sail at a moment's
warning. If a vesel has been sent from Trieste
to take Maximilian away, it can only lie ac
counted for on the ground that the Dandalo
was not considered large enough to hold the
whole Imperial establishment, or, in other
words, the grand body of Imperialists who will
have to take the back track with "His Majesty."

The Sante Fe Mexican, of the 13th Inst, states
that tbe body ot Lieutenant Rhodes, who myste

found recently six miles from town, and was
brought in by the Sheriff. It is said that he
was shot in tue stomach. There is no clue to
tbe murderer. After being shot his body had
apparently been carried to where it was found
and thrown into cedar brush, whence it was
draeged by wolves, who partially devoured one
arm.

the same at Fort McRae. At the Membi-es and
Fort Cummings they not only ran off the sheep

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1866.
WASHINGTON.
Secretary Stanton's Successor General
Grant Desires the Appointment of
General Sherman The Nomination of
General Steedman Not Improbable.
Washington, October 29. The impression
that I ieneial Grant objects to tne appointment
of General Sherman as Acting Secretary of
War is entirely erroneous. On the contrary,
when the retirement of Mr. Stanton was deter
mined upon, the President, anxious to have
harmony between the Commander-in-Chief and
the War Department, consulted with General
Grant as.'o whom he should appoint.
Genera' Grant has had reason to regret a want
of harmony between himself and Secretary
Stanton, and was anxious to remedy the evil,
and avoid the difficulties resulting therefrom.
He desired the appointment ot General Sher
man to the position, because satisfied of his
hearty co-operation in the Important work of
reorganizing the at my. At his request General
Sherman was sent for. There Is also no ques
tion ot rank in the matter. General Sherman
can only be Acting Secretary of War unless he
resigns his Lieutenant-Generalcy, which he has
not the remotest idea of doing. Indeed, it is
faid that ho will not accept the post ad interim,
bat is to return immediately to the West.
In case of Sherman's declination, Geneial
Grant will, it is believed, ask for ;he appoint
ment of General James B. Steedman. General
Grant and the latter have compared notes on
the subject of the respective dutlps of the Secre
tary of War and Commander-in-Chief, andjthe
former Is atinficd that he would have the co
opeiation of General Steedmen If appointed
Secretary of War. The latter has been lor some
t me past strongly urged upon Mr. Johnson.
Ho Is a positive man, of tine administrative
abilities, and would be an excellent successor
to the present Secretary.

THE RECENT GALE ON THE LAKES.
The Storm on Cake Huron Disasters
Probable Loss of a Tujr with all on
Board.
The Detroit (ZtjerfiCfi- of Friday says: "By
the arrival of vessels from Lakes Huron,
Superior, and Michigan, wejhave been enabled
to obtain some Information concerning the sralo
oi Sunday lajt, which was undoubtedly the
severest that has occurred on tbe lakes for
years. Captains who have sailed almost from
their boyhood agree in statiug that tbe storm
was feuriul, and thev are of the opinion that
the losses have been verv heavy.
"Tho schooner Ptovtr', of Cleveland, with a
cargo of iron ore from Escanaba, bound for Erie,
Pa., arrived l his morning about 2 o'clocE, aDd
now lajs at tbe Detroit and Milwaukee Railway
dock, with marked e Idcnces of tho storm.
'"The schooner Mian also encountered the
gale near the head of Lake Huron, and weut
ashore, sustaining some slight looses. Several
thousand bushels ot grain were thrown over
board, and she was got off. She arrived down
during the night.
"The bark F. 8. Slierman is ashore on the
head of Bois Blanc Island, near Mackinaw, but
itj is believed will be got off without serious
claa ace. A tug, with the necessary apparatus,
has been sent to her relief from this city.
"Several vessels arrived during the night,
having met with some tlight losses. The
schoouer Summit lost Ler foresail, staysail, and
the Afottteaqle is minus her mainsail. The oarque
B. V. Wmslow lost her foresail, mainsail, aud
topsail; her ringing is badly torn.
"The steamer Clara this morning started to
the relief of tbe barque Sam Ward, wblch craft
is ashore at tbe Claybanks. near tbe mouth of
tbe Detriot river. She took down a steam-pump.
"The piopeller Fountain O'ty arrived here this
morning, and reports that, bet veen Nortbport
and Mackinaw, on Wednesday, she passed a
large quantity of flour floating in tbe lake, auo-
posed to have been thrown overboard during
the gale.
"It Is currently reported that the propeller
tug A. J. Norwav, of Milan, Ohio, is lost, aud
it is feared that she has srone down with all dn
bonrd. She had three lumber barges in tow,
and was on Lake Huron during the rale. We
are informed that several barges have drifted on
the Canada shore, and it mav be that thev ware
those that were being towed by the Norway.
So lar as the loss of the propeller is concerned it
is merely a rumor, but as nothing his been
hiardtirom her sce tne storm, tears are enter
tamed lor her safety.
"The barque Brulgewater was dismasted ou
Lake Erie, near Bulla o. and sub.-eaueutlv townd
imo tliat poit. She also lost both anchors and
a ortiou ot her cbaius.
'ihe Fort Huron Commercial says that It is
understood a larce number ol vossola worn
driven on tbe Canada shore.
"lh propeller Iforman. of the Chicarn nd
Luke Erio line, which recently went asbote In

The Raleiet Sentinel has returns from 61 coun
ties In which the vote for Governor Worth
amounts to22,33G;forDockery, 5718. The latter
carries only two counties as lar as heard Irom,
viz., Randolph and Johnston. The vote of
Randolph being 564 for Worth, and 773 for
Dockery;of Johnston, 189 lor Worth, and 280

Explanation of the small vote for Dockery is
given by a correspondent of the Raleigh

The Memphis Post, of October 24, says: "We
have Informal ion from several elections held to
nil vacancies in the legislature, under the late
proclamation of the Governor. Smith county
is reported o have elected Col. W. J. Cleveland,
aihorouebly loval man, and Bedford county
eleets George W. Thompson, a man equally
loyal. Schmidt, reported elected in Dickson,
and Laughmiller, in Warren, are considered
rebel Conservatives tn their sympathies.
Jlenry county is said, to have elected L. Thorp
over Porter, a bolter. Brien, elected in Nash
ville, is a notorious opposer of the State Gov
ernment. It is expected that these, and the
elections to be heard from, will leave the work

notice a pioclamation the Governor calling
an election in Nashville by the resignation of
Judge Lewis. A Revel Conservative will un
doubtedly be elected to bis place."
TRAGEDY IN MISSOURI.
A Young Lady Elopes with One of Two
Ulval Sultorv TUs Favored Man Bru
tally Murdered by tbe Rejected One.
Fiom 8preiaH8t. Louis October 25) Correspondence
of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
A dreadful tragedy occurred on the highway
near Ctterville, Cooper county, in this State, a
few days ago Two young men, named Wilson
and Harper, hud been paying their addresses to
a Miss Brown. Wilson was the envied recipient
ot the lady's favor, but the parents were streuu
oiifly opposed to her choice, and favored Harper.
On Sunday, the 14th, Wilson and Miss Brown
determined te make an end of the matter by
getting married; and, starting for Otterville,
they arrived at that place about 11 or 12 o'clock
that night, and proceeded to the reside)' je of
tqulre Dempsey, who, after some hescancy,
ptriorined the marriaee ceremony. The couple
then returned to the house of a friend, some two
and a half miles distant.
The next day Harper followed them. Arriv
ing in town, he learnea that they were married,
and detei mined on vengeance. After drinking
iniiU evening, he lett Ottervide in the direction
Wilson and his wite bad gone. When about two
miles distant fiom town, he met them on their
way to a relative, both riding one horse. Har
per rode up to them, and. drawing his revolver
ou Wilson, remarked, "You are a dead man."
II i pistol snapped three times, during which

and Colonel Fitzgerald are on the stump ln that
region. A grand meeting will be hell at the
Court House on Friday night, when a number
of eloquent speakers will be found. Similar
energy is diffused over all the State, and tbe

A SCENE IN WALL STREET.
A Fight Between Two Brokers A Sharp
Encounter A Telegraph Boy Gets 9300
for Finding a Diamond Pin Lost ln the
Encounter.
"Play with a bull and you'll feel his horns" is
an old ad .tee, and has lost none ot its force
through having been bandied Irom mouth to e.ir
tor tbe last ever so long, it was to have been
supposed that everybody had heard it, and un
derstanding its adaptability, had ceased frolick
ing with the creature. But the sequel will
show bow little ground there often is tor form
ing conclusions upon evidence entirely pre
sumptive.
Yesterday, about noon, the big crowd which
congregates daily in front ot the Stocc fc-x-cl
unpe, on Broad street, blocking the passage
nuu unuguig uuuis irom persons iorcea to do
tour froui the shortest lmo, was at its thickest.
Upon every Hitle chance of elevation
porcnea a crown; auu, as usual, they were
jostling and throwing up their bauds in frantic
seeming efforts, while the day was made
hideous with ibtir cries. Each seemed doing
his utmost to attract to himself the attention of
all the others.
The hubbub created by tho swarm of
'coaches," wbo besiege the landing atter the
arrival ot an Albany passenger boat, was but a
wtaa; mimicry oi tuis seeming caldron of
cratty speculators. As usual, small boys were
flying around the outskirts, while anon one
would disappear, diving apparently, like a har
lequin, into the stomach ot some excited belug,
and landing in the very centre ot the brawling
mass.
Araonest this very unhappy family, all busy
with hands and mouth, were two geutlemeu,
partners of rival houses. Both were of high
social and commercial standing. One was Mr.
11., of the firm of 11. & Co., doing business in
Broad street. The other, named G., was of the
house of G., H. & Co., whose oflice is very near
tho same place. For awhile all went harmo
niously; that is, no goring or scratching had
occurred. Presently, howevpr, an altercation
seemed to be brewing iu tho vicinity where were
tosted Messrs. H. & G. Then come loud, angry
ords, G. exclaiming, Itn emphasis, "Xou're
a thief, sir; you're a thief. You stole from me
one thousand shares ot ." Just here thlnes ho.
cume iather mixed up, like unto a tight ot tom
cats surcharged with electrtclty.
Next seen was Mr. H. lying comfortably under
a curt in the mud-gutter. In an instant one of
his iriendd is seen flying in an opposite direction
don the hard granite steps ot the 8tock Ex
change, while another shows his heels as he
rolls a summersault up street. Instantaneously
tbe great crowd disperses, revealing the
tiiumphant G. glaring defiantly around lilra,
like a very angry bull, Indeed.
Soon the crowd, seeing that no further hos
tl'ities were meditated, gathered around the
tn w pacified G., when rapid explanations fol
io wed, only the general outline of which your
rt sorter could catch.
Some business transactions had occurred
be tween the two houses, nnd Mr. G., believing
b'luself to have been wronged, attacked II.
w tb the epithets quoted above, when that geu
tlt rcan, Intending to vindicate his honor, ran
into tbe house of the bull. That's the way he
pot into the gutter. Two friends pitching in
were, too, very quickly pitched out as described.
If. now called the attention of the assemblage
to himself by removing his hat and announcing
In vociferous tones, "Five hundred dollars re
ward to anv one who will return me my diamond
pin lost tn the melee." Quietly steals up to hiui
one of the telegraph harlequins, and in a small,
squeaking voice answers: "Hee it is, sir, come
do n w ith j our soap." "Come to my office and
act it," na.vs Mr. II., and led the way, while the
ioitunate little fellow, Mills by isame.,, -Ul

i,.7"TneNew York 7ri0n this morning says:
Money on calM among brokers is 6 per cent.,
and leading houses get round amounts atSi
per cent Commercial paper, when short, sells
ieadily at 66 per cent. Long paper is more
abundant, and is not ln favor with buyers. Tbe
bank statement shows a decrease ln all the
items except specie, which shows a gain of
$476,762. The decrease of $4,410,340 in loans
has made no perceptible change ln tho rate for
money, so far as borrowers at call are con
cerned." The Chicago Tribune of Friday (P. M.) says:
"There was a more active demand for money
to-day atmotol the diFcouot houtes, and tbe
market was working proportionately closer,
bordering on stringency. This necessitated a
narrow scrutiny on all paper presented for dis
count, aud few beyond those who were abso
lutely entitled to it received accommodation.
There was no chauge in the bank rate. In
the open market business paper is negotiated
at 1218 per cent., according to quality.
There was a dec! led scarcity of exchange to
day, and under an active demand the market
was decidedly firmer. There !s comparatively
little exchange being mado, owing to
the fecarcity of freight-room on the railroads,
and the high rates ot lake freights cause ship
pers to hold off, compelling the banks to carry
the property until It can ho forwarded on better
terras. Round lots ot exchange were placed be
tween bsnkers at 60c. discount to 60c. premium
closing with more buyers th in sellers at the
tipper figure. Some of th banks sa? they will
be compelled to ship currency if the present
stringency continues much longer. Thure was
no change in counfr rates -110(iCJ discountLuy
inir, and pw selling mostly at the inile
figures. Buffalo and Oswego sight were taken 4
i discount."
..TThe Cincinnati Gazette of Friday say-
'There is a oood sunnlv of
money market, and all legitimate demunds are
readily supplied at 810 cent, interest on
prime paoer. The market lules easy. The re
ceipts of exchange aro tn excess of the demand
and dealer were Indifferent purclilsers to-dav
at par, while the selling rate was weak at 1-10
premium, and concessions of 25 cents were
made in some cases."
