Langlais, Maximilian's Minister of Finance---American Officers and Armaments from California to Hostilize Mazat lan--Another Victory by the • Liberal General Mendez in Urupan--T he Liber als in Possession of Tlaxcala--Capture of General Or- • machea, &c. [Correspondence of tbe N. Y. Herald.) VERA CRUZ March 3.—M. Langlais, Im perial Minister of Finance, died suddenly, in the afternoon of theMl of February. He had jest returned to his residence, from a ride in his carriage, accompanied by his physician, Dr. Schultz. He was sixty-one years of age, and it is supposed he died from a cerebral attack. A telegraph was imme diately despatched to Maximillian at Cuer navaca. It is not mentioned who is likely to fill his place. The ex-guerilla chief Fragoso was trans pbrted in the commencement of last month, via Havana. On the 25th of February the track of the Mexico and Chalco Railroad,between Tacu baya and Mixcoac, had been inaugurated, in the presence of the Secretary of the Home Department. On the 19th February, a force of two hun dred and fifty Juarists, under Antonio Perez —who bad been pardoned—took possession of Tlaxcala, making] prisoners of a rura ferce of fifty men quartered in the to wn,and sacking the house of the military com mandant of the district, General Ormachea. Atgua same moment a new conducts arrived with eight thousand dollars of the Imperial Railroad Company, escorted by thirty-four men, all of which fell into the hands of the enemy. Five hundred Austrians were im mediately sent from Puebla and took pos session on the 22d. The enemy had mean time fled and carried General Ormachea away with them, and the Austrians at their heels, in a northerly direction. By way of Poluca there was news from Anganguo up to the 16th of February, stating that the rural forces had combined with the contra-guerillas under Gonzalez, of Tlalputtjhua, a movement against two hundred Juarists at Taxpan, whom they surprised on the 14th, killing forty-four men and three officers, and taking eighty six prisoners, among them some guerilla chiefs, besides one hundred and seventy horses and plenty of lances, so that the enemy lost aIL The imperialists consisted of only twenty men, having to carry con siderable, and instead of haltb:ig at some place of security, rested in Irimbo. As soon as the Juarists of Zitacnaro heard of the disaster they went forward immediately, numbering from three to four hundred men, and recovered all that had been taken by the Imperialists, whom they dispersed with a loss of eleven men killed, including Capt. Garrido. The authorities of Amatepec (Toluca), under date of February 16, advise that on the 14th news was received that the Jnarista in the neighborhood of Aguascalientes had again surprised the town of Matta3ra, where the superior chief, Captain Banda, was quartered with twenty-five men, who, after making a heroic resistance, succeeded in repelling the enemy, to the number of one hundred and fifty men of all arms; and having in the meantime sent for assistance, Captain Guerra was soon on the spot, and after pursuing the enemy as far as the hills of Potrero he there completely dispersed them, after taking prisoner the famous Tranquilino Martinez, en-Captain of the town of Santa Ana, and he is now subject to superior orders from the government. This little victory would go far to tranquil lire the people. TAMAIILIPAS.—Accounts from Tula of the bch state that in the fight at Tantoyuquita live Juarist officers, besides Mendez, were killed. From Chamal to Tantoyuquita there was scarcely a roof to be found for shelter nor pasture for the cattle. The sack ing of the latter town proved so profitable to the guerillas that it was presumed they would probably abandon the field. They had destroyed the judicial archives of sev eral towns. The limited force of the im perialists made prisoners had all been put to death. COAMMILA.—The Prefect of Seltillo pub lished the following despatch:—The military commandant of Parras writes from Santa Cruz that on Jan. 31 his forces marched from San Lorenzo de la Laguna towards Guadeloupe, about 9 miles distant, where he halted and 100 of his men, under Captain Hernandez, advancing as fai. as Jaboncillo three milesfrom the eastward,they met with a force of 300 Juarists, and charged them at the point of the lance. The enemy were de feated, and besides losing their horses and arms, had 12 men killed and two taken prisoners. They were pursued to the mountains as far as Vacas by 200 cavalry, which arrived afterwards; but the enemy escaped to the mountains of Sarnoso. The imperialists only lost six horses, and that was owing to the hot pursuit after the enemy. TEMlANTEPEC.—Correspondents write from Oajaca , 17th February, that the .chief, town of Miihuatlan was attacked by the' guerillas, who carried away the chief func tionaries of the town and robbed it of all the cash that was to be found; but, having ab sconded as far as San Pedro Mistepeji—two days' journey from said place—the military commandant, Luna, assisted by the people, compelled them to set these men at liberty. In this latter affray the enemy had five killed, one of whom was a chief, besides several others being taken as prisoners,who will be tried according to law. CuittuAltuA.—The military commandant of this district informs the Prefect, under date of the 25th of January, that the Mexi can force which was sent to Concepcion (Canton Guerrero) had completely dispersed the four hundred liberals found in that town, under Gomez and Casabantes. DITBANGO.—By way of Mapimi them was telegraphic news that on the Ist of February the military , commandant of Tahuahlo, in company with Senor Trevino, came up with and attarked two hundred Juarists, who fled, leaving twelve killed. The imperial ists captured their horses and armsand took eight prisoners. SONOB.A.—The acoonnts from Guaymas (without date) confirm the occupation of Alamos by the liberals under Martinez and Correa, one thousand three hundred men strong. They sacked the town for twodays, destroying whatever booty they could not carry off„ The population bad been victims OUR WJECOLE COUNTRY. of all kinds of excesses and murders, in cluding the butchering of women and in fants. The town was almost deserted, and the inhabitants were flying to Guaymas and sovhere. JALISCO.—They write from Guadalajara on the 11th of February that a lawyer named Ogazon had disembarked it Attata with a group of American officers and armament tought in California (San Francisco). It was thought he bad joined Corona and that both will be hostilizing Mazatlan. Some attempts had been made by the people in the southern towns to revolt. By dates to;the 18th February it appears, that precautions bad been taken by nightly reinforcements of the guard and some of the heights occupied. lircittoacen.--Letters from Morelist° the 21st of February say that the action between the Imperialists and Regales, in which it was feared the former had got worsted, commencing on the 20th, not far from Patz cuaro, in the plains of Coeneo. It was further said that a fcirce under Pintos, of Guerrero, had just joined Regules, who had augmented, his forces considerably. A telelegraphic despach received from Morelia by way of Acambaro, dated the 24th of February, states that General Men dez, after an obstinate battle with the Libe rals, had defeated them, killed some, and bad taken four hundred prisoners, and "that, therefore, the :previous despatch of Colonel Echeverria was of no account" The government has received the follow ing despatch by telegraph from the Prefect of Queretaro, dated 24th February, regard ing this triumph of Gen. Mendez:— I have the honor to communicate that by an extraordinary express, which I received at eight o'clock to-night, and under yester day's date, the Prefect of Morelia informs me that Gen. Mendez, far from having been defeated, as was stated in Patzcuaro and even in Morelia by fugitives of his division, obtained a complete victory on the 20th in Uruapan. Be himself communicates the fact, and requests of the Prefect of Patzcuaro safe quartets for four hundred prisoners, which he brings with him. The Prefect of Morelia explains the error which was com mitted by presuming that at the commence ment of the action part of his forces may have dispersed, got to Patzcuaro, and spread the panic among the authorities and garri son, who retired their forces with precipita tion to Morelia.

THE VEIN-I.A.NS. Further Developments of the Excite ment in Canada---Movements of Troops--Rumors of a Pros peotive Raid by the Western Fenian:. Mo.Vritrain„Tuesday, March 13.—The ex citement here with regard to the Fenian is unabated, and there is very great alarm, es pecially among the women, who naturally magnify every rumor into the most extra vagant proportions. Yesterday we had a grand review of the newly-raised militia forces by Major-Gen. Lindsay, after which two thousand men were dispatched to various frontier posts. J At St. ohn there is a considerable force of men and some artillery. The police are carefully examining thecarsthat come from the States, and are evidently expecting a great increase of passenger traffic. The Canadian police are everywhere along the border, and are• very active in their duties. It is generally believed that a like activity, though less openly mani fested, is the fact on the American side. It is not to be disguised that the mos grave and cool -judging officials are really apprehensive of trouble. Interested parties have worked up this excitement until it is really painful; they have magnified the motley crowd that gathered the other Sun day, at Jones's NiTood,into a grand invading army of a hundred thousand men, with supply, baggage and artillery trains; with serried ranks of cavalry and infantry, armed to the full with the best results of modern science; and so, before this giant of their own conjuration, the Canadians are trembling with apprehension of coming disaster. The activity of the military here is com mendable, particularly under their view of the situation. There are constant drills and reviews, and the commonly quiet streets of this slumberous town are vocal with clang ing swords and the rumble of artillery wa gons. There is to be another grand review to-morrow morning. DETROIT, March 13.—1 have just made a lurried tour on the frontiers and several points of Upper Canada, where I find the most intense excitement existing as to the threatened invasion. Troops are being hur ried to the front continually, artillery wa gons passing to and fro, earthworks are being constructed on the line of the fron tiers at points considered as most vulnera ble, and everything wears a military aspect. On the Canada side all is excitement and bustle, while on the American side every thing remains quiet, and not an armed Fe nian anywhere to be found: In this city there are about one thousand Fenians, who propose to turn out on St. Patrick's Day, accompanied by many thousand others. They will parade the streets, and dine in the evening either in the United States or Canada The Detroit Fenians, I learn, have con tributed four thousand stand of arms for the Irish in this locality. It is' generally be lieved that the Fenians in the West are pre paring some desperate game. Knowing ones assert that a number of Irishmen will congregate at Windsor on St. Patrick's night, and when Fenians on the American side set off green rockets and fire minute guns, they will throw themselves upon ' the volunteers from the rear while the American Fenians cross over and attack them in the front. A special dispatch to the Hamilton Times says that the calling out of the volunteers was caused by Hibernians telling Darcy McGee's organ that they had invited the Chicago Fenians to join in the procession on St. Patrick's Day. Mr. McGee communicated it:to the• Governor and Council, and the result was ' a call to arms. • People in Canada begin to feel ashamed of the Government causing so much unne cessary alarin..

To the Editors of the Evening Bulletin : It has become the fashion in certain quar ters to assail the Pennsylvania Railroad, and charges of every conceivable character against its management are served up daily and with the most remarkable persistence, for the Ispecial delectation of the buSiness community. - :All the important benefits to our city and State resulting from this great enterprite are studiously ignored, and it is represented only as a vast monopoly, recog nizing no interests but its" own; selfish, grasping and tyrannizing, and by its policy repressing rather than encouraging the de velopment of the State and the progress oil trade. One charge refuted, another equally groundless and absurd is invented; and business men and stockholders of the company are asked to disbelieve the evidences of their own daily expe rience and what they see around them, to regard their incomes from the earnings of the road as a fiction, and give ear to every charge and every perversion of facts which self-interest, jealousy and rivalry can in vent. The company is 0 'Breed with dis criminating against Phhadelphia and in favor of New 'York. That disproved, as it has been most. triumphantly, it is held an swerable for the falling off in our distribu ting trade; whereas, all its efforts for the last five years to arouse our community to the importance of a steam line to Europe, the completion of the Philadelphia and Erie road, and the many advantageous connections formed throughout the west, have had special reference to the promotion and enlargement of that trade. Again, it i- charged with standing in the way of the development of the bituminous coal fields of the interior, and a new route via the Reading Railroad and Milton West is urged as a necessity to insure,a supply of bituminous coal at proper rates; but the re markable fact that the Pennsylvania Rail road Company,throughout the whole of last year, transported bituminous coal to Phila delphia, over all grades and even over the mountains, at two cents per ton per mile,and less, while the Reading Company charged for every ton on anthracite coal to Philadel phia FOB CENTS per ton per mile on a down grade is carefully kept out of view. All credit is denizd the company for its expenditures in the repair and enlargement of the State canals to meet the demands of the very trade, amounting to more than their gross revenue since they cam ter the possession of the company in ISs7;llad now that it is asked by this coal intelit, that these canals may be put in charge o a separate company, in order to make them more effective in the development of this important trade, the movement is stigmatized as an e,ffort by the Pennsylvania Company to evade its re sponsibilities to the Commonwealth. The rates of freight on the Pennsylvania Railroad are another and a special object of ass:knit, and are made to answer the pur pose of the am:tailing party, from whatever point he may choose to date his missive. Now, the interests of the interior are sacri ficed for the benefit of Pittsburgh,and again the business interests of Pittsburgh are out raged to encourage the trade of the interior, while the company . are unblushingly charged with the hourly violation of the Commuta tion act of 1861, the second section of which limits the rates on the various claggea of freight between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh: There is a well agulod and uni versally recognized principle influencing the rates of freight on all railroads, and all freights are carried long .distances on con tinuous roads, at less rates per mile, in the aggregate, than would be charged for shorter distances. The same principle in fact, enters to a greater or less extent into every branch of business, large orders being frequently filled at a material reduction upon the rates that might be charged for a single article. The act of 1561 limits the winter rates of local freight on the Pennsyl vania railroad, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, to 90 cents per 100 pounds for first class, 75 cents for second class. 60 cents for third class and 40 cents for fourth class. The rates established or charged since that date by the company have been and now are Sti, 71, 56 and 36 cents per 100 pounds respec tively, showing a reduction on all freight of four cents per 100 pounds, being the full amount of the original tonnage tax, as pre scribed by law, while the rates per mile, even for short distances, are less than on any other road in the State, if not in the country. The following comparison of the rates of freight on the various roads leading out of Philadelphia will show the utter groundlessness of these complaints against the ;Pennsylvania Company, and the un worthy purposes influencing the parties in stigating them.

It will thus be seen that the local rates on traffic shipped from Philadelphia over the Pennsylvania Railroad are materially lower than any other road leading out of the city —the Reading Company charging an aver age higher rate of over twenty per cent. for the transportration of local traffic on the most favorably constructed line in the United States, if not in the world, for cheap transportation, while the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are carrying atless rates over grades of forty feet per mile between Philadelphia and Columbia. These facts are known to all shippers of goods and merchandise, and ought to be familiar to the business community. They show the utter falsity of the charges so persistently preferred against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and abundantly attest its careful and equitable management. If other evidence than that already fur nished were wanting as to the attitude of the Pennsylvania Company, with reference to the trade between the seaboard and the West—if the charge of discriminating against the trade of Philadelphia were not alreadysufficiently branded—the following new freight schedule, adopted only a few days since by the agents of the various roads leading east from Cincinnati, and which went into effect on the 2d of March, would place that matter in a light admitting no further question. It establishes all that the Penneylvania Rallied ever contended for, and has been the rule in freight rates on all these competing lines for years, viz: a dif ference in favor of this city as compared with New York of $3 per ton on first-class - freight, and from $1 to $ 2 per ton on other classes.

They are not designed to promote any interest of Philadelphia or the State, but rather to advance the purposes of the Atlantic and Great Western company, by which the Reading road proposes to obtain access by rail to the New York markets, as fully set forth in their contract. This object baying been determined upon some months since by the English owners, their subordi nates in this city are bound to carry out to the best of their ability the first of the pro gramme assigned to them of bolstering up the concern. The regard which these diatribes profess for the prosperiV of Phila delphia is a mere pretence. The acts and management of the Pennsylvania Company are purposely misrepresented to further other interests than those of Philadelphia, and as our people perceive the real object and caluminons character of these publica tions, they will estimate them at their proper value.
