THE WAR nr NORTH CAROLINA, gg
[Correspondence of the New York Times.]
Newbekk, N. C., Sunday. Feb 7, 1664.—The
ndications justify the assertion that the rebels
have retreated. That they came in force, expected
to capture Newborn, were foiled and obliged to
retire, is certain. With regard to the number of
their army, let it be noted in the first place that
the prisoners taken, say 150 in. all, represent 18
different regiments, as follows: IstNorth Carolina
Battalion, Sth, 21st, 25th, 49th, 51st North
Carolina infantry; During’s Battery, Virginia
artillery, 9th, 11th, 14th, loth, 17th, 24th, 29ih,
3Sth, 53d, 57th Virginia infantry, 21st Georgia
Infantry. There is good reason to believe that
Maj.-Gen. Pickett, Brig.-Gens. Ransom, Hope,
Rhett, Shaw and Hood were with their brigades.
Hood’s cook has escaped, and is within our lines.
I saw him to-day. Their plan seems to have been
to attack us by land and. water, at Batchelor’s
Creek, near the Neuse River, Brier’s Creek, 5.0.,
near the Trent, Newport, twenty miles below us
on the railroad to Morehead city, and onr boats in
the harbor. The most reliable information war
rants us in putting down their force at from 15,000
to 20, 000.
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,

into the House, says: «‘You should recollect that
1 have been highly honored , already by the Go
vennnest, .and do not ask, or feel-that I deserve,
anything more in the shape of honors or promo
tion; a success over the enemy is what I crave
eboveeverythinr else, and desire to hold such an
influence over those ui der my command as to en
able me te use them to the best advantage to secure
this end”

attendance at the Academy last evening was re
markably good. Let Ham* Blanche was performed
In admirable style,and its cfiarmlng melodies gave
great delight Mme. Johannsen did her part sat
isfactorily. Uma. Fredsrici looked and sang
beautifnlly. Her lovely ballad, sung at the spin
ning wheel, was heartily applauded. Mile. Oa
nissa, as 1 ‘Jenny, ’ ’ did her best, but that is not
vei y gsod. Mr. Hermanns was excellent as 1 <Ga
veston. ” The great part of the opera is that of
‘ George Brown,” and In thiß Mr. Habelmann
appeared to gTeat advantage. His first cavatina,
best known by its French words, .* ‘Ah quelplaitir
dllM toldat,” was sung brilllant'y, and In the last
scene, where the qas'intalrof “Robin Adair” is
introduced, he was remarkably effective. The
concerted pieces of the opera were well done, and
one delicious trio was encored. The orchestra was
exi ellent as usual. £a Home B lanche will always
draw well when Habelmann is the tenor. To
morrow evening onr first taste of < ‘the music of
Ihe future’ ’isto be given us.' Wagner’s opera of
Tannhadaer is to he performed, with the fall

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1864.
NEWS FROM MEXICO.
[Correspondence oi theN. Y. Tribune. J
Havana, Feb. e.—The British Royal Mail
steamer Conway arrived yesterday afternoon,
bringing ns dates from the City of Mexico to the
26ih, and from Vera Craz to the 31st. By her wo
have important news, if true, by which the cause
oi Juarez has received such a blow as w ill render
ihe occupation of Mexico an easier affair for the
French than even ihey expected two months
since.
The Sociedad says; ‘ ‘On the 4th ult-. A. M.,
the authorities of the City of San Luis Polosi gave
in their act of adhesion to the Intervention and the
Empire. The Political Prefect offered the articles
onliat document for discussion, which, without
any distent, was accepted ana
passed.” Now, as San Luis has beenforsomc
time occupied by the Franco-Mexican forces un
der Mejia, there can have been no other “authori
ties 5 ’ than those of his own choosing,, and ho
would only have placed, or allowed to remain in
atdforify, such as might be ‘ ‘ unanimously * ’ in favor
of his wishes. Thi-, l suspect, has been the case
in most instances where towns; Ac., have been
reported ashaving declared for the Intervention,
and Empire.
We are told.thaton the sth ult. Guanajuato as
well as the neighboring villages ol MelJado, Cata,
Sirena, Valenciana, and San Luis de ia Paz “do
c) area in favor of,” &c. What«*lse could they dot
A letter from Celaya, under date of the 9th ult.,
says that “last night arrived in this city (1) the
Juarist General Echeagaray, who was captured by
a small force—part oi this garrison—at t>alvatier
ra.” From Puebla, on the 10th ult., we learn that
the commandant, Augustin Roldal, attacked and
finally captured the town ot Sdh Juan de los Lla
nos; but his account says,after describing his force
and their positions, “But it became indispensa
ble to make use of every soldier, succeeding through
the valor and heroism of my soldiers in snatch
ing a triumph from the bands of onr enemy. It is
ndw noon, and the flro grows less in the centre of
the city, and I improve the opportunity. Onr sol-i
diers have taken prisoners Gen. Garzayala, Col.
Ignacio Romexo, and a multitude of soldiers, many
killed and wounded, and having only to lament
the loss on our side of one sergeant, two soldiers
badly wounded and one slightly—ail of the infan
try.”
Marquez, from Morelia, Sth inst. j writes, “I
am getting aloag, so much so that last night I went
to the balcoifY to receive the ladies who came to
congratulate me on my recovery, and to deliver to
me the • act of adhesion to the empire’ issued b/
the principal people of the place and nearly all the
dec*ntfamilies.” From Morelia, 4th ulu, wear#
told that the town of Zamora * * declared for the
intervention, Ac. ’ ’ on the approach ol the French,
yea. and just for that reason. “To-day (4th nit.,)
the rumor is current that 500 Chasseurs de Afrique
captured Gen Ujraga and two men who accom
panied him at Tinguindin. ”
Mr. Lyons, the Director and Chief Engineer of
the Yera Cruz Railroad, died at that port on the
22d ult., from effects of wounds received October
2d last, from guerillas who attacked the train. Mr.
Xyons leaver many friends in the United States to
mourn his loss, and was generally respected in
YeraCruz A iong train of carriages accompanied
his mortal remains to their last resting place. Mr.
Deckbart, of Pennsylvania, succeeds him.
Yera Cruz, Jan. 26.—The day before yesterday
the convoy from Jalapa, so long expected, ar
rived here, escorted by the Liceaga brigade. They
were not attacked on the way and hare arrived
safely. Guerillas seldom attack a brigade.
A letter fromYeraCruz Jan. 28, published in the
Diarie of this city sayß :
“The latest letters from Jalapa give accounts of
a horrible assault made by the Liberal refugees at
Hacolulam on three carnages containing several
families, and accompanied by some soldiers of Pe
rote. AH the latter were killed, as were all the
ladies apd children, none escaping save a lady who
carried in her arms an infant, and Don Antonio
Bonilla. There were killed in this savage massa
cre Dolores Arista, daughter of the former Presi
dent of Mexico; Don Mariano Arista; a girl of six
years of age, daughter of Gen. Moreno; the entire
family of Cant. Matnmora*, consisting ot himself,
wife, a daughter of fifteen, 1 and two boys. In one
of the carriages came the young Lieut.-Oolonol-
Bonilla, a lunatic, who receiTed a ball in fcla fore
bead, and at last dates was expiring at Jalapa. * ’
Cainpeachy is reported to have capitulated on
the-lit; ult. to Captain G. Clone, of the.Fivnch
man-of-war Magellan. The news was received
on the 27th in Yeia Cruz with salutes of artillery.
1 Msioftttt tays that on the arrival of Gen. Cas
l&gny Mejia was to inarch on Mat
chuala, and L’Herllier on Zacatecas; so the re
ported capture of the latter city turns out
false, as may be the cate with: reports we
have of several other places I having sur
rendered. The Courritr du Jfattgut says Do
blado has asked for an armistice of 23
days, of Gen. Bazaine; that there were 3,ooomal
contents in Zacatecas: also, that Doblado has
placed 1,000 men at Sanillo, which prevented Vi
daurri from declaring in favor of the intervention.
The Marquis de Montholon arrived at the City ot
Mexico ou the 23d ult. Tasco is said to have been
recaptured by the forces under Yicario. Up»o
the 9th ult. Doblado bad not lelt Zacatecas. The
town of Armadillo is said to have given in its ad
hesion on the 25th of lecember. On the 16th ot
January a ball was given to Mejia at San Luis.
The AeriauraciYm oi the 13th ult., says Genera
Bazline has started from Guaualajara for. Zaca
tecas, leaving a garrison of 2,000 men. un the llth
there arrived at San Litis 600 men under Gen. Oas ;
tagny, and left again on tho 13th for Zacatecas;
Mi O more, under Col. Aymard, were expected on
the 14th. The Eitnfcttc says thatMontholon is busy
nigbt and day assorting the archives of the Lega
tion and preparing the commissions which are to
re-establish the validity of the French
clams (including, of course, the grand
swindle of Jecker, Napoleon A Co.) The same
paper, of tbe 14th, tays that Yidaurri, Gonzales
Ortega, and Doblado have intimated to Jaurezthat
he mutt abdicate, and that if he refuses they will
declare his dismissal. That as soon as either of
theteevems takfs place the three will give in their
adherence to tbe intervention, Ac. Tho same
paper of tbe next day says: “By the mail from
San Luis Pot'osi, arrived last night, we know
that Jaurez has resigned the Presidency, and that
Gonzales Ortega succeeds him. ”
This paper gives no credit to the report that Do
blado and Ortega will surrender, and goes on to
say that in the eyes of the General-in-Chief, Or
tega can only be looked upon as an escaped prison
er of war, and the Orixava runaway cannot nego
tiate with him in anything in. the capacity of a
belligerent. Gen. Bazaine left Guadalajara on tho
12th ult., and was expected to arrive at Mexico
the latter part of January. Father Miranda con
tinues very ill at Puebla, to which place alone has
he been able to arrive as yet. The vanguard of
Mejia hit San Luis on the 19th, and he was to
leave with the rest on the 20th ult.
From Santo Domingo nothing comes to us save
sick and wounded, bui. men, provisions, arms,
Ac. Ac., continue to go to that Island. The Go
vernment has chartered the English steamer Kes-
Ur to leave to-day with mules, provisions and
men for St. Domingo, and others are preparing.
The Captain-General of St. Domingo issued a
decree on the 271 h ult., by which—because of the
large numbers of spies, prisoners, Ac;, in his
hands, and there being no buildings in which to
confine them, and fearing some epidemic on
account of them, he ordains and declares that
hereafter all spies, propagandists, Ac. Ac., are
to be shot as soon as caught—procuring, if pos
sible (!) an inquiry as to the identity of the person.
(It will never be possible!, and this is, therefore, a
command to give no quarter; as every prisoaer
will he called a spy, propagandist, Ac.) Terrible
will be the retaliation of the “Rebels.” Already
so infuriated against the Spaniards as at times to
be uncontrollable by their leaders, they will now
burn, slay, and destroy, without mercy.

Yiksibia, Feb. 10, 1864. —Twenty-five refugees
came >n in one sqnad to General Sullivan, to-day.
They are from Page and Shenandoah counties.
These refugees tell sad tales of the workings of the
rebel Conscription law. They say a Georgia
regiment is enforcing the conscription in
that section of country where they resided,
and that these Georgians shoot down
every man who Is caught in an attempt to escape
Deserters In large numbers continue to arrive at
all our military posts along the lino. From
twenty-live to thirty deserters arrive at New
Creek every day. One party of • refugees who
passed through Beverly report a hand of refugees
three hundred strong maaieg. their way to our
lines. The cattle and sheep that General Robert
Lee claims General Rosser to have captured, were
taken from citizens' residences situated very many
miles from onr lines. This speaks for itself.
The Vacancy in the Senate.— We learn
that Dr. Thomas St. Clair, an old physician of

Semi-Annual Meeting or the High School
Alumni.—Last evening the Alumni Association,
of the Central High School, held their semi-annual
meeting in the lecture-room of the building,' at
Broad and Qreen streets, Mr. Stephen Benton
occupied the chair, and Mr. Henry R. Edmunds
acted as secretary. The election for a new presi
dent, iu the place of Mr. Benton, who declined a
renomination, was the occasion of a spirited de
monstration on the part of the members. Two
graduates were placed iu nomination, viz.:
Messrs John Davis Watson and Charles Buek
walter. There were IGI votes cast, of which Mr.
Watson received 63, and Mr. Buckwaltei;99. Mr.
Buckwelter wsb declared elected. Objection was
made on the ground of the validity of the election,
there having been more votes cast than there were
sufficient dues paid to justify.
Mr. Watson expressed his satisfaction at the re
sult,. and took occasion to hope that the High-
School Alumni should never attain a reputation of
political partisanship. This, he feared, had been
reduced to an issue, though both himself and Mr.
Buckwalter depredated any tueh position.
Mr. Benjamin BJ Haines said that the election
had been fraudulent, and that he himself had not
paid his dues. Hr. Haines had voted for Mr.
Watson. '
. Thatreasurer stated that it was impossible fdf
him to keep an accouotof dues paid. After con-.
siderable feeling manifested on both sides, the
business of the association was proceeded with.
For the Alumni speaker the gentlemen placed in
nominationweie Ohas. Henry Brock, Henry R.
Edmunds, and Robert D. Ooxe. Mr. Edmunds
was declared elected. A resolution was adopted
appointing a committee to inquire whether any of
the alumni arc in the rebel service, and if so, to
report-that-their names be stricken from the rolls.
•It was stated that George W. Alexander, of the
10th elass, was a provost marshal at Richmond.
Announcement was made of the death of Isaac E.
Hackenburg, treasurer, and appropriate resolu
tions were ordered to be published, expressive of
the condolence of the association,
Chakged with Abson. — Before Alderman
Miller, yesterday afternoon, Richard Atmore was
charged with arson, in setting fire to four hay ricks
on the farm Of Wm. Jones, on the Island Road,
adjoining the Suffolk Park, in the Twenty-fourth
W ard. The evidence showed that Atmore worked
for Mr. Jones, and on Tneaday.had a dispute with
him at the Bine Fell Tavern, abont wages. He'

was much under the influence of liquor al the
time, and a difficnXy “ensued, during which the
defendant threatened 10 burn the hay and barn of
Mr. Jones, and started off in Iba* direction. It
was not thought that he would execute his threat,-
hut he went directly to the place and fired the hay.
But lor the neighbors and the Kiugseseing Fire
Company, the barn and the whole premises would
have been destroyed. As it was, four rickß~aad
«ome shedding were burned. Atmore was arrested
upon the premises by some citizens, and was
handed over to the police. After the hearing he
was fully committed to answer. ■;He then volun
tarily confessed his crime, said that liquor was the
cause of it, and expressed regret for what he had
done.

about as sagacious as to attempt to take around
upon rollers, to all the customers of the concern,
