very large attendance at the matlnfie on Sa

was removed, the general public hesitated
about crossing the line, fearing they might

Interview with Officers of Maximilian's

of Gen. Sherman’s Mission
—Singular Stories
About the French
and Austrian Offi

[From to-daj'a N. Y. Times.]
Yesterday evening we had an interview
with a number of gentlemen, Austrians by
birth, who arrived in thisi city by the
steamer Manhattan, from Vera Cruz, late
Saturday evening, on their way to Europe.
They were all of them, some directly and
some indirectly, in the employ of Archduke
Maximilian’s Imperial Government of
Mexico, and bring some very sad, some
very amusing, and some very interesting
tales. Among them are Mr. Joseph VVirth,
a railroad contractor on the. line of road
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico; Mr,
Alphonse Beskocbka, a civil engineer;
Messrs. Michael Kernel, Albert SOba
deberg and Stanislaus Sabiz, officers
of Max’s “Imperial Guard,” and Mr. F.
Braudstaedttr, a topographic draughtsman.
Mr. Joseph Werner, formerly general agent
of the above-mentioned railroad at Puebla
de los Angeies.and for a time c-.ahier for the
same company at Orizaba, also gav6 us
some interesting information,though he had
given the cold shonlder to the “Empire of
Mexico” several months ago, and resided
for some weeks in this country. Without
vouching for everything that these gentle
men have told ns, we‘give their tale in a
connected form, and as near as possible in
their own words.
They say that the further continuance of
the Imperial farce is an utter impossibility,
though Maximilian still clings to the belief
that the complete anarchy which he expects
will follow his exit from . Mexico, in conse
quence of the rivalries of contending parti
sans and military chiefs, may yet create a
strong party favoring his recall. He is said
to think himself personally popular,and be
seems now to hope that the clergy and the
clerical party generally would yet find means
to turn matters in his favor. With this belief
and hope, our informants say, Maximilian
though contemplating a speedy retreat from
Mexican territory, has a place to be put in
readiness for him at Havana, where he is.
said to expect to remain for some time,
awaiting, like Micawber, for “something to
turn np” that may bring him his imperial
purple. Daring his stay at Havana, we are
also told, he proposes to make a tour under
a strict incognita through the United States,
of which country he is a great admirer.
He often expresses his wish to see the North
American Republic and its people, whom
he often called the greatest practical people
of the world. Yet, however strong his own
hopes may be, it seems that his brother, the
; Emperor of Austria, does not share them,
and did not do so quite a longtime since,for,
as Mr. Werner informed ns, Capt. Nante
and Lieut. Graves, of the Austrian frigate
Dandolo, lying in the harbor of Vera Cruz,
told him nearly a year ago that their vessel
had been specially sent there to bring Max
safely back to Trieste or Miramar.
Neither is the trust which Maximilian
puts in his assumed personal popularity or
that of the Duchess Charlotte, as we are
told, well founded. Maximilian, soon after
he arrived in Mexico, lost ground with a!l
parties. He must have had a very imper
fect knowledge of tbp character of tbe Mex
icans and of the prominent characteristics
of the partisan- life of their political and
military leaders, for he made it his avowed
object to conciliate and unite all parties,
and to make of the Mexicans a congruous
and homogeneous people. A nation torn
by continuous revolutionary strife for
over forty years,fall of petty chiefs aspiring
to supreme command, cannot very easily be
made to forego its habit of plnnging almost
yearly into renewed revolution and anarchy.
This was the great stumbling-block, and it
required more statesmanship and wiser dis
crimination than Maximilian apparently
possessed to remove it from his path: The
Mexicans themselves appear to recognize
this defect in the Archduke, for they declare
that, like a young maiden surrounded by
fiattering admirers, he coquetted with all
parties and thereby lost the support and
favor of all. Even the Church, a clerical
party, . whose support he still hopes
will carry him hack to the .throne, is not
nnanimons in his favor; and at the depar
ture of our informants from . Mexico,
they say it was a publio secret that a
large and the most influential portion of the
clericals bad offered Miramon—lately re
turned to Mexico—a subsidy of from, six to
eight millions of dollars,if he would assnme
the reins of Government and continue the
war against the Jnarists and the Liberals.
Bnt all parties, even those hostile to him
from the beginning, give him just credit for
good intentions. He eschewed state pomp,
dressed like a Mexican, and .was the most
laborious man of his “Government.” They
say, however, than he spent his time and
labor on unimportant matters of detail, and
was unable to comprehend and direct the
grand whole of what h 6 talked about as his:
“mission.” ’
When the Manhattan sailed from Vera
Cruz, Maximilian was still at Orizaba, al
most a prisoner, under the surveillance' of
Marshal Bazaine’s officers. He had, up; to
that time, declined to abdicate, so it was
reported at,Vera Cruz, though it is gene
rally believed that his remaining, in Mexico
any longer iB entirely out .of,, the question.
In' faot, the authority of , the Imperial
Government _ and every semblance; of,
respect for it is hardly to be found any
where.; Even in the only'four cities
—Mexico,-Puebla,Orizaba and Vera Cruz—
where the empire is still maintained by the
French garrisons and:Austrian or Belgian
volunteer corps, the Imperial l Government
is a mere name, the Prefects oaring very
little for the orders or decrees of the Em
peror, obeying, from fear of force; the
French officers in command. ‘; Maximilian
basdischarged his entire “Imperial Guard,”
of which, as we have stated above, three of
our informants were officers. He also dis
missed nearly the whole staff of his house
hold, retaining but few. Most of these have
already left for Europe direct hi English
and French steamers.
The “Empress” Cariotta is said to have
OURmaOIE COUNTRY,
been a well-intentioned lady, completely be
holden by the conviction that she had a*“sa
ered mission” intrusted to her by Providence
for , tb e of Mexico. Yet, thou-h
amiable and condescending in her personal
intercourse, she was hanghty, proud and
domineering, qualities which her consort
CQnld not be accused of; and thus while
possessing great energy and more than or
dinary mental capaoity, she could never
reach even that limited degree of popnlaritv
which Max for a time enjoyed.
The departure of Mr. Campbell, Ameri
can Minister to tbe Government of Presi
dent Juarez, accompanied by such a distin
gmshed military hero as General Sherman,
lor their destination, is said to have made a
profound impression in Mexico. The na-
Uve Mexicans, so the gentlemen named re
port, hate the “Yankees” like deadly. poi
son. They, we are told, fear some grand
scheme of annexation, and in the event that
anything looking to the realization of their
fears should be attempted, would, all par
ties never bo hostile to each other, unite? to
oppose and, if possible, to expel tbe “rapa
cious invader from tbe North,”
This may be so, or it may be, as probably
.y®t merel y the ■wish, which is so often
father to the thought,” of onr Austrian
fnesds, who found their Mexican career so
suddenly and so unpleasantly brought to a
close, and all in. consequence of the fixed
of the American people and
tbeurm stand taken by our Government
against the creation of a Mexican empire
under the influence and even the lash of
the French Emperor. Be that as it may,
me give this piece of information imparted
to us for what it is worth.
Some interesting details of the way in
which French and Austrian officers of the
European props of the “Empire” continue
to “turn a penny”—and, as it seems, not a
very honest one—into their pockets, are
worth detailing. Frenchmen generally, it
is knowD, lead a gay life, and matrimonial
ties among them are not very rigidly ob
served. Nearly every French officer of a
higher grade, even np to General, had his
mistress with him. The salary was rather
meagre, and some other means had to be re
sorted to, to provide the necessary money
required for a “double establishment.”
Their method to do this was Boon
found. Among the “stores’ ’ for the French
army, brought- to Vera Cruz and landed
duty free, wdre silks and lace 3 and bonnets,
and other articles of dry goods and milli
nery. Tbe mistresses of the officers opened
“stores” and “dressmakers’ shops”and thus
not only supported themselves but even
their paramours. The Austrians were not
behind them. They traded in Hungarian
and French wines. -The Chief of the “Em
peror’s” household even publicly kept a
wine store at the city or Mexico, where, as
malicious people said, he'was selling at high
prices the wines imported for the “Empe
ror’s” household. ' •
To show the complete demoralization of
the “Empire” and its surroundings, ofir in
formant told ns that it is nothing very re
markable pow-a-days that when the Btage
from Vera Cruz arrives at Mexico its pas
sengers are in a perfect state of nudity, hav
ing been deprived of every valuable and
every Bbred of habiliment by robbers or
guerillas on the way. The native army, of
fifty thousand men, which Maximilian in
tended forming, consisted mainly of
Austrian, Belgian and French, the small
proportion of Mexicans that en
tered it deserting almost as soon as re
cruited. As an example of the insecurity
to life and property in that ill-fated coun
try, it may be stated that while Mr. Werner
was acting as cashier of the Vera Cruz and
Mexico railroad at Orizaba, the French
commandant of the city, Col. Delavigne,
kindly advised htm not to venture out or
the principal part of the town, norat all
after dark. In connection with this railroad
we might also mention the fact that its
management was the cause of the virtual
banishment of Lient. Maury from Mexico.
Maury having been appointed Commission
er of Emigration and Colonization, had his
eye fixed on promotion and wished to
supplant the Mexican Gen. Robles as Min
ister of Colonization and Publio Works. I n
the affairs of this railway company a deficit
was discovered of £72,000 sterling, and it
was instantly charged by Maury and his
adherents that this money bad found its
way into the pockets of Robles to render
him blind to the many malpractices of the
railway officials, whose labors it was his
duty to watch and oversee, as Maximilian's
public treasury was largely contributing
toward the enterprise. The intrigue was
timely detected and exposed and Maury
“graciously permitted to depart.”
The colony of Southern exiles at Cordova,
under the leadership of Generals Price and
Magruder, is also broken np. They are
said to have demanded the grant of ex
tended privileges from Maximilian, which
he refused, and many who trusted ’to the
fair promises of these two leaders lost not
only their fortune, hut even their health,
and some their lives.
All bnsiness, onr informants report, is at
an utter stand still. There is nothing doing,
and no one has confidence in his neighbor.
This distrust manifests itself even in social
life, as all intercourse between families is
suspended, each one looking out for and
trusting only in himself.
This is a sad picture-of life in Mexico.
Bnt whether true or not in all its details,
we give it as it came to us from those who
certainly ought to know.

Bkowm views, Texas, Dee. 3, by the - way
of New OEEEAKSi- Bee. B.—By the terns of
sorreiider though nominally subject, yet
virtually safe from trial, Canales witli alt
his force incorporated will henceforth act
with and under Eseohedo. • Iw four days the
conjoined force, numbering about 4 00ft
will move through, Monterey to unite with
other forces on the read for the recovery of
San Luis Potosi, whieh, together with Du
rango and Zaeatecas, are promised deliver
ance by next January. Uoncentraiive ac
tion throughout the Republic now proposes
the speedy deliverance of Mexico-. Juarez,
I learn upon the authority of Es
cobedo, moves reference to
tins force. Sherman is probably oh
bis way to Durango, there to await
the consummation of this plan. Upon the
recovery of two-thirds of the States it is pro
bable he will urge the meeting of the Repub
lican Congress. The rumor here of the pro
gress in the direction of Mviia with an im
perial force, and of a late rout of Liberals on
this road under Uarango and Treveno is
ridiculed by Escobedo, whose information of
a later date reports a small fight and victory
by those Liberal chiefs, who are now in a
small town about twelve miles this side of
San Luis Potosi, awaiting the arrival of the
rest of the corps. Escobedo himself will
lmger here but a few days after his com
mand, when leaving behind a thoroughly
pacificated frontier, he hopes by spring to
rest with his restored tri-color in the capital
Crowds of refugees throng the ferry here
each day since the surrender, returning
with their effects. Confidence and com
merce,under the happy restoration, promise
ail such a new and better life on the borders.
Santa Anna's Views.
A Cleveland paper has the following
Washington" special:
Santa Anna has sent to the President a
longletter on the Mexican imbroglio, in
which he proposes a different policy from
that now being carried out by oar Govern
ment. The President will ta&e no notice of
the letter, and is not disposed to farnish it

[Oorttapondeueeot theN. Y. Herald. 1
St - Anthony, Minn., Dec. 3, 156t>.—The
monotony of our auiet little town has been
corsiderably disturbed of late, by dis
coveries of a most curions and remarkable
nature, which have been made within a few
days past in our mjdst They are of so
singular a character-us to be beyond the
pale of eredence In the mindsof almost every
one who has not been a witness to the facts
in the case; but they are vouched for by
citizens of such known respectability and
veracity, that the genuineness of the state
ments in regard to them is placed beyond a
doubt
A Mr. Reuben Nesmith, who lives in a
small house near the German Catholic
church,had occasion to go down in the cellar
on the evening of the Ist inst, to arrange a
place for his winter stock of potatoes, which
he had been hauling that day from his farm,
about two miles beyond Manomin. While
engaged in putting together a temporary
bin, and while digging to make room for
the timber used in constructing it,his shovel
came in contact with a plate of iron, which
after being cleared of earth proved to be a
trap door,which was secured by a curiously
wrought lock,with heavy bolts running into
a stone beneath. It was so much corroded
by rust that a little pressure with a crowbar
caused the plate to give way,and upon taking
it up an opening was discovered, beneath
which a spiral stone staircase led down into
the earth. Before venturing down this stair
case Mr. Nesmith communicated the fact of
its discovery to his brother-in-law, Mr. Lu
ther Chamberlain, and having prooured a
lantern, the two proceeded to descend, and
alter going down one hundred and twenty
three steps, they found themselves in a nar
row horizontal passage, dug in the white
sand, which, as every one familiar with the
geological formation of the banks of the
Upper Mississippi knows, underlies a
strata of limestone. Proceeding along
the passage a distance of about seventy
five leet, they emerged into a spacious arti
ficial cave, also excavated in thin white
sand. This cave was of an oblong form,
and leading out of it were several smaller
ante-chambers, all of which- gave signs of
having been at some former day occupied
as depositories of some kind. Iron and
copper implements, of a rough kind of
workmanship, were found scattered about,
some of them evidently having been used
for excavating purposes, others for cooking
utensils, the marks of fire being observable
on the latter. On entering one of the small
ante chambers a number of rnde seats were
found and upourone side of the room an
elevated platform, upon which stood a
roughly hewn stone, something like
the reading desk of an Episcopal
church. On the wall behind this desk,
on either side of a colossal human
figure, in has relief, very curious hiero
glyphics were found traced in the white
sand, and an ornamental tracery of pecu
liar design covered the other three sides; of
the chamber. Inthenextapartment a sortof
stone sarchophagus was found, upon the top
of which was laid an immense rock, firmly
cemented to the bnrial case, and which re
quired the united exertions of four mea to
remove. This being done, a human skele
ton was found underneath, the bones of
which crumbled to powder immediately
upon exposure to the air. Several copper
and iron rings were found in the sarcopha
gus, as also a curious silver ornament, oc
tagonal in shape, and carved in unintelligi
ble characters, some of whioh corresponded
with those upon the wall of the apartment
a box e referred to. - .
A third chamber was much larger in ex
tent than the others, and the ceiling was
very much like an inverted funnel in shape,
directly under, the apex of which was a
large cube-shaped stoae, whioh was stained
with marks of fire and some other dark
substance, and a deposit of hardened ashes
lay around it upon the ground. It was evi
dently used as a sacrificial altar, and this
theory seems to be confirmed by the faot
that an aperture large enough to admit the
body of -a man opens from this apartment
mto a smaller one, the floor of which is be
low. that of the.other rooms, and whioh' is
covered with a limy powder apparently the
ashes of hones, whether human or other
wise oannot be ascertained. On continuing
their explorations the party found an iron
plate door, which easily gave way upon a

ajittle pressure, and a passage-way alssut
three feet in height and largeenongU for ana
person to pass In a stooping posture, was
discovered. Mr. Nesmith and isisr brothers
in-law followed this passage way; -which led'
in a somewhat circuitous direction to theviv
cinity of the river. This is proved by the
sound of water washing upon the shore,
which may be distinctly heard at the end of 1
this passage way,the oliter opening'to which
has apparently been filled up fronff’thc in
side with broken rocks, and through’tfaa in
terstices of which fresher air than that of the
cave can be felt blowing at times.
The whole affair is a mystery: thtrreiics
found are not at all aboriginal in character,
and may have been the work of a people
existing long before even these prgi'nes
were the hunting grounds of theludihn.
Copies of the hieroglyphics have been cave
fnlly transcribed and forwarded to so me‘of
thensoat learned arch aologiats offcheEastersi
and si-Is hoped that they msy'bM'
able te obtain some clue as to the origibandt
use of these remarkable relics. - We
stand that the State Historical Society has
made Mr. Nesmith a very, liberal offer for'
tnem. in the meantime bur little towa-' is
all agog as to the discoveries* and hundreds -
o| people havevisited the house of ME
Nesmith to see these remarkable antiawr
ties. We trust the Historical Society .may
be able to secure them as a most interaatiag
addition to their small bat valuable collet
