AKX&ICAH VIOLATION OF HETJ UAIJTY.
Gral Sedgwick's Occupation of Mata
saaoraa tit Sustains Cauales Ksco
edo' Attack on th City,
' Brownsville, November 30. Americas neu
trality on ttae Mexican bordor has again been
tacrlnced, but this tiine, instead ot ou the aide
of Juarez and justice, aa under gallant but too
isnpetuons Weitzcl, it has been protituted to
rrve areliel and mutineer, aa Servanda Canales,
tne udfcrper of Matamorus, is to our Government
s much an outlaw as Mfjia, the Imperialist.
Tbe'tormer lack the personal claims that en
titlrd the gentlemanly commander and sober
representative of Maximilian to lespect and
' t cnsideratlon.
The mistake of General Sedgwick, therefore,
In interfering n lavor of Cauales, Is both a
'diplomatic and moral blunder. On Saturday,
the 24th instant, Hscobedo, with about 2700 men,
being expected to attack Matamoras, Cauales
expressed a desire 10 surrender the place to
General Sedgwick, alleging, as an excuse, that
he could not control bis coalman J, woich, be
said, unless restrained, would resort to pillage.
Ilia request and reasons for thia having been
staled in writing, General Sedgwick responded
by Immediately crossing a detachment ot the
4th Cavalry of the 19th (J 8. Colored Infantry,
the former under Brevet Colonel Mclntyre and
the latter under Colonel Perkins.
Colonel Perkins, with his colored troops, took
"fatten at Santa Cruz, which is at the ferry, aud
about two ui iles from the city. Mclntyre ivcut
into town, and the next j,8unduy morning
published an order assuming command of the
surrendered city by virtue of rank; forbidding
any but United States soldiers to carrv arms;
forbidding soldiers to pass or repass without
authority; and requiring foreign citizens to
renter themselves at their soveral consulates
and to pass goods, it' subject to pass, from head
quarters of the Ametican occupation. Tula
order was countermanded and taken down by
Colonel Perkins, sustained by General Jcd
wick. Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Handall, First
United States Artillery, soon after succeeded
llcintjre in command.
Thus, while the city appeared nominally sur
rendered to the Americans, not only wero
Cauales' troops pcimltted to retain their arms,
but, let t dee to occupy in lull force tbe fort idea
tions against which Eseobedo was to move.
Late on Suuday evening a meeting between
J scobedo and Canales was arranged by Brevet
Brigadier-General Sedgwick, to the end of an
amicable settlement, which, of course, was im
possible, Eseobedo, justly ofleuded at the new
attitude of art air?, and the moderate support
rendered by Americans to the cauo of mutiny,
Defusing to accept anything less than uncon
ditional surrender for Cauales, at the same time
demanding the withdrawal of the U. S. troops
except 60 men, to r main for the prot-ction of
American imere-is, wutcn demand was agreed
to by General Si Ag wick ; but ho failed to comply
With it.
Instead of CO, 300 Americans were retained in
the city, for which General Sedgwick's fnvalous
, excuse is that it subsequently appeared that that
adoitioral number of Americans were abso
. lately necessary as a defense agaiust an up
rising of the eulzens so outraecd by such ill
timed intervention. To an American flag ot
truce sent out on the morning of the attack to
inquire what would be the ultitude of the as
sailant towards theJAmerloans, Eseobedo re
turned a curt reply that, as tho stipulations hud
b en violated, his own coure would be cuided
by circumstances. At 6 o'clock on Tuesday
morning Eseobedo attacked in full force, with
about 2700 infantry and artillery.
The attack was begun upon ihe trt, the east
or lower side ot the city, by Corttnas, who was
repulsed; next at Port Monterey, at. tho back ot
the city, on tbe Monterey road. General Lon
negauega assaulted, but his bridge prepared for
the trench proving too short, in the delay "endu
ing the point ot attack was reinforced and
rf scued. The final asault upon the usurper, ou
, the upper or we.-t side of the city, by the Oaza-
bores and two squadrons of cavalry' under Col
4 onel Flores, was also successfully repelled by
iiiu 111-1 miuu iim-i uieiHiuui; ui ivuiei iruns, ua-
nales bing enabled to swing bis whole force
from side to side aa needed, without fear ot a
abstracted rr ar.

His right bower, General Espinosa, lies mor
tally wounded, shot through, both thighs, a

chieftain, a native of San Luis Potoai, already

vacdo Canales, jouneest brother of Canalos,
was killed, and another brother, Tristane,
seriously wounded.
Tbe American flag Is reported by Brownsville
papers ot the 2'Jth to be still floating over Mata
juoras, supported by a garrison ot about fifty
en, Cauales, emboldened by success ana
birtstng, still holds out, and, doubtless to the
Increased irritation of Eseobedo, coudeocondR to
viler an arrangement for peace. Meanwnile the
Ametican commander and usurper tn Mexico
has an elepbant on hand of most egrceions pro
portions. It is fair to state that lirevet Brlsa-dier-General
Sedgwick is a young man, aud,
doubtless unduly influenced by representations
from interested parties in Matamoras, has
partly himself acted in goad faith. Canalos'
Adjutant-General is a Confederate (Major Fos
ter) a New Yorker who is said to have re
marked ot the American flag raided over Mata
moras that he had fled 2000 miles in vain to
escape its shadow.
Browns villf., November 30. Tuesday's strug
gle lasted two hours. A pontoon was laid across
the river near the ferry on Sunday, and Colonel
Randall, sensible of his ticklish position, had
his two batteries drawn up on the Americrn
side in readiness to cross. A regiment of volun
teer militia was raised for thedetense ot Browns
ville, and was commanded by the notorious
filibuster and Confederate, Colonel Ford.
It is said that Marshall, the new American
agent, successor to Mr. Avery, Is now in Browns
ville, atraid to return to his office, such is the
danger from tbe loose soldiery of Canales and
from citizens euraged at American intervention,
who cry on the streets, "Death to the Gringos 1"
Eseobedo, it is understood, as soon as reinforced
by Trevino, will renew the attack, probably
this week.
THE MEXICAN MISSION.
A Mystery to be Solved Where are
General Sherman and Minister Camp
bell Going t Sherman's Inspection of
the Island of Cuba-Departure of the
Expedition for an Unknown. Destina
tion, Etc.
Havana, November 23. Lloutenant-General
Sherman returned the night before last from a
two days' exploration of tbe Island of Cuba.
Everywhere he was received with the utmost
enthusiasm, and he came back loaded down
with the finest Havana cigars. The Spanish
papers here devote several columns daily to a
recounting of the marvellous exploits of the
"far-famed General Sherman," and devote no
small space to a consideration of tho antece
dents of Minister Plenipotentiary Caraobell.
Generally the tone assumed is favorable to the
United Mates, and tacitly hostile to the Maxi
milian regime. Sherman speaks in the highest
terms ot the fertility and rich capacities of the
Cuban bland, and strives vainly to conceal his
regret that so productive a country should
remain under so arbiiraiy and retrograde a form
of government.
esterday Mr. Minor, the American Consul In
Havana, paid an official visit to the Susque
hanna, and was received with all the houors
befitting his position and the popularity he has
universally obtained among the American resi
dents heTe. Mr. Minor warmly sympathizes
with tbe objects ot the expedition, and is in
every respect an admir.iblc exponent of Ameri
can interests in this salient point on the route to
Mexico.
To-day the Susquihinna is busy taking in coal,
and io-moriow she starts from Havana. Where
will she po ? Vera Cruz is the destination com
monly spoken of, but Vera Cruz remains in the
bands ot tbe French and imperialists, and it is
difficult to see how a minister accredited to the
republic of Mexico (Mr. Campbell makes a point
of that) can effect a landing there, unless under
some arrangement with the French Emperor
tantamount to an abandonment of Mexico by
the French troops and the Austrian pretender.
Tampico is another port suggested. There Is
no blockade there, and the town, though terri
bly knocked about, U in the hands ot tho Libe
rals. Thence General Sherman and Minister
Can pbe 1 miaht probably make their way to
Mexico city, tbe abandoned capital of the
Archduke Maximilian, and even it might be to
Chihuahua, where President Juarez still holds
on. Evervthing ii a mjstery at present, and
there tire but two men connected with the ex
pedition who can solve it. They will not. For
midable s her armament of fourteen large
DaHgren guns is, the frusqttehanna, a wooden
ship, is not adapted for immed ate warfare.
What, then, will be done? Che sara sura.

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
Four Whites Murdered by the Hualitpala
In Arizona The Murderers Followed,
and the Whole Party, Twcntyoue In
Number, Killed, Etc.
Washington, December 5. Special Acreat
Sendge, under date ot La Paz, Arizona, October
16, informs the Commissioner of Indian Atl'airs
that, on the 23d of September, a hostile band ot
Hualapals killed John Kullion, a wagoner, and
also lour mules which he drove, and that on the
26th ot the same month, John Woodward,
Judson Baker, and a Mr. Benjamin were
killed by Hualapais Indians, while engaged in
mining, near Fort Mohaive.
A party often citizens from the vicinity of the
fort, accompanied by a number of Mohaive
Indians, under the command of a captain or
chief, named Hamauslckahaute, went In pur
suit of the Hualapais, whom they overtook,
surprised their camp at daylight, and killed
tbe whole partv. twenty-one in number, losing
but one man. The commanding officer ot tbe
fort was with the citizens in the pursuit, and
spenks in tbe highest terms of the bravery and
tkill of Hamausickahaute and his braves in the
atlair. The agent says that this band of Huala
pais hate tbe Mohaives as much as tbe whites,
on account of their refusal to join in a concerted
attack on the eeltlement.
Gold Mdal Voted to General George II.
Thomas.
On the 2d of November, 18G5, the legislative
houses of the State of Tennessee voted by Joint
resolution to present Major-General George H.
Thomas with a gold medal, which should serve
to remind tbe gallant soldier that the State of
Teunebsee was not disposed to lorget his noble
exertions in ber bebalr. The medal was gotten
up in New York, an I Is regarded by tbe different
connoisseurs who have seen it as one ot the best
urtistic and successful medals yet produced.
On the face is a capital bas-relief of General
Thomas, about which clrsle, in block letters,
the words:" To Major-neral Georee H.
Thomas, from the State of Tennessee." The
reverse displays the Capitol at Nashville, beneath
which, in line, "By joint resolution, adopted
November 2, 1x65." Half circllnar the top is tho
expressive replv of General Thomas to the
anxious inquiry whether Chattanooga could be
held: "1 will hold me town tin wo starve." in
si.o the medal is generous, being nearly three
inches in diameter. Its weight is one pound, Troy
weight, it is understood that uovernor Brown
low will present the medal within a few days.
Important Gold Case There is a very important
esse pendiug in the Superior Court, Baltimore,
Judge Martin presiding, involving the sales of
.gold pluced tn brokers' hands for sale, subject to
a margin., some points in which have already
been decided, which materially affect the mo le
ot transactions heretofore adopted by brokers in
their dealings In gold, making them responbible
for the price of gold when deposited, or for its
return, according to tbe premium thereon, when
dtaauded from tho banker or broker. A large
amount of testimony waB adduced, through the
commission, from bankers and brokers and ex
perts In Newlork. Altogether, titty or sixty
thousand dollars are involved. Reverdy John
son, Thomas Alexander, and other distinguished
lawyers are engaged in the case. The final deci
sion will be of great Interest to bankers and
brokers and the financial community,
I HI CAPTURE 07 8UKRATT.
The Pursuit by United States Govern
ment Detectives since Octvbcr Last.
A telegram from Washington to the Boston
Tost gives the following particulars of the cap
ture of Surratt:
The continually paraded allegation of Mr.
Boutwell that the Governmental authorities
have been supine in the matter of apprehending
John U. Surratt. calls out a semi-othcial state
ment from the Ministers of War and State. The
truth of the matter is, that the arrest ot Surratt,
as recently telegraphed, is due solely to tbe
efforts and actual puisuit of the detectives of
tbe War Department. This detective system of
the War Department had reached great perfec
tion prior to the close of tbe Rebellion, and it
seems to have been a power with which Stanton
was loth to part.
At all events, nearly the whole force, consist
ing of upwards of two hundred men, nnder pay
in this immediate locality, have been retained in
the service of the department during the past
year, only being required to keep thoroughly
posted upon the antecedents of any individuals
who made their advent into the capital without
any apparent call. The same surveillance was
also directed to Government clerks and army
men cf every degree, particular attention being
given to the attaches ot the Paymaster's Depart
nitnt. Meanwhile the real endeavor of the
oiganization has been to secure the person of
Jo'.in 11. Surratt, and through tbe co-operation
f the State Department his whereabouts was
Prtt nade kuown to the Government early In
O tcbtr las', when it was discovered almost be
jond doubt that Sunatt was serving in thu Papal
Zouaves in Rome.
With no more delay than transpired in getting
Instructions from Washington, with enlarged
and positive authority to effect tbe capture, the
first apprehension of Surratt occurred under tho
auspices of our own detectives about three weeks
sgo. Hie subsequent e?cape into Italy, with
w bom we have but a modified extradtiion treaty,
made his recapture doubtful until he sealed his
own doom by continuing his flight into Egypt,
with which Government we have a full treaty of
extradition. I am authorized to say that the
Government ha.; been cognizant of every step of
tliis cLase after tbe last of the conspirators, and
that Its own detectives of the War Department
force have conducted it to tbe successful end.
Admiral Goldsboroiigh has been telegraphed to
brlug the captured aud his captors to this coun
try without delay. So falls Mr. Boutwell's in
dictment of the Government in tbe mutter of
the capture of John H. Surratt.
Important to Brob cm Counterfeit Cou
pons. A counterfeiting scheme, which was to have
got rid of a large number oi gold coupons ot '81,
due January 1. 1867, wa discovered yesterday,
under the following circumstances: A boy
offered about $1200 worth at tbe office of a
broker in Wall street. The clerk to whom they
were presented suspected them to be counter
feits, which, upon inquiry, they turned out to
be. On questioning the lad, it was found that
he was employed by a person who had that day
opened an office, and who had given the boy the
commission.
An Inspector went with the lad, but found the
Office eniTJtv. It is suooosed that the bov's
absence ahirmed his employer, and led to bis
decampment. The boy , is uble to describe and
swear to the defaulter; it may, therefore, be
hoped that he will soon be breiight to justice.
The coupons may be detected by tbe size of the
fieures by which they are numbered, as these
exceed those on the genuine by nearly one
quarter of their size.
The lollowing are the words on one side of
the coupons:
"Ac t ot July 17 and August 5, .1801 The United
States oi America will pav to bearer fifteen dollars
for nix months' interest due 1st January, 1867, upon
iiuuu no (co, iut oouu. n. c. vumeuueu, negister
United States Ircasury."
Accordina to tho bov's statement, he got em
plojmeut from the broker yesterday morning,
through the following advertisement iu this
paper:
Wanted A l oy for a broker's office. Call at
No. 19 Exchange place, room 18, at 10 o'clock A.M.
After agreeing wiVh the broker as to terms,
tbe boy was sent to announce to the janitor of
the building that "the room would be accepted,"
thus indicating that the occupation of the room
was contingent upon obtaining the services of
the boy.
When the boy returned he found two men in
the room. He was then sent to Jersey City for
a letter. He found, of course, no letter In Jersey
City, and when he returned an hour or two hail
pawed. Then there were three men in the room
in Exchange place. N. Y. Herald.

The New York Ilerald this morning says:
"The Money Market was easy at the banks
to-day at 67 per cent,, the higher rate being
tbe one generally asked; but tirdt-clasj houses
supplied themselves at tbe lower one, while
there were exceptions on Government securities
at 5.
"The discount line Is dull, and first-class
commercial paper pusses at 67 per cent.
Tbe ieturn flow of currency from the West and
the interior generally is becoming gradually
more active; but as a considerable portion of
the funds thus received are in National bank
no'es, the full extent of the dram will not be
indicated in tho nest bank statement.
"The payment of $15,960,000 ol interest on the
seven-thirty loan will commence on the 16th
in st., and this will contribute materially to .veil
the volume of loanable funds at the disposal of
the banks. Lenders almost without exception
express confidence in prolouged monetary ease,
al'hough efforts will doubtless be made by them
to keep the rate lor call loans at 67 per cent."
