His report is dated at Matamoras on the
Ist inst.:
Matchuala, Nov. 25. 1866.— Dear Sir:
I have already written to you about my
military operations, and the defeat of the
regiment of the Empress at Booas, a place
-seven miles north of San Luis Potoai. The
enemy is concentrating at San Luis Potosi.ou
account of the heavy blow they suffered,
but I have reason to believe that that place
will fall into our hands before eight days.
The troops garrisoning the city are desert
ing and proclaiming tbe Republic, and the
Dumber of French is not sufficient to hold
ibe city. They have no hopes of salvation.
You can rest assured of the occupation of
the Capital of this State by our troops.
The papers announce tbe flight of Maxi
miiian, and several defeats sustained by the
Imperialists, such as Jalapa, Pachma, &c.

Matohpat.a, Nov. 23, 1866.— Dear Sir:
3 have received, this morning, the following
intelligence from San Luis JPotosi, which I
hasten t© transmit to yon:
“A regiment of Imperialists coming from
San Mignel Ei Grande to reinforce this city,
proclaimed the Republic on the route. The
commander of the regiment of the Empress,
after the defeat at Bocas, joined the Liberals
and only the other officers were faithful to
the empire. The French were to leave this
city yesterdsy, and at Mejia’s request they
have delayed their departure until to-mor

all the wagons and means of transporta

Territorial (iovernuieaU lor Rebel States*
Representative Julian yesterday intro
duced a bill providing civil governments for
the districts lately in revolt against the
United States, and for the restoration of said
districts to their forfeited rights as States of
the Union. North Carolina,South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississipoi,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Virginia 1
.are to be erected into temporary and terri
torial governments. The Executive power
is to be vested in Governors, to hold office
until their successors shall be appointed
.and qualified unless sooner removed by
the President of the United States. They
nro to have the veto power. All the abler
.machinery of territorial governments is
provided, including a legislative assembly
and delegates to Congress. The people,
under certain rules, are authorized to form
State governments; the constitution to be
submitted for poDular ratification. The
■electors are confined to the loyal popula
tion of the United States, who shall take
t.nd subscribe the oath of allegiance; but
.no person who has held or exeroised auy
■office, civil or military, State or confederate,
under the rebel usurpation, or who has
voluntarily borne arms against the United
. States, shall vote or he eligible to be elected
as delegate to the convention.
Georgia Legislature.
Mim.edgeviux.is, Deo. 14.—The Legisla
ture adjourned to-day sine die. The closing
speeches of the presiding officers of both
Rouses were -expressive of great determi
nation not to succumb tojunlawfuldemands.
The sentiment of the. Legislature seems
decided in lavor of a Territorial Govern
ment, rather than the acceptance of the
Constitutional Amendment or similar
terms.
The Speaker of the House, in his closing ■
. address, bade the country hope that the
trial of fanaticism would exhaust itself, and
that constitutional principles would yet
jprevail. J
: - President of the Senate said it was the
".“y of the people to obey all the laws, and
.£ *0 the Constitution, but that human
lorbeaxsnce had Its' limits, and the worm
•wotild turn if trodden on. Great applause
prevailed m both Houses at these senti
■■ ments. The veto of the extension of the
Homestead act wasi sustained by five votes,
only that of the Stay law was over
ridden.
A great number of laws were enacted at
this session of general importance.
THE PftlLY EVENING BPttmN.--PHILADELPHXA < SATUKPAT, DECEMBER 15, SHEET.
The Nortb CanllisDeleratlsa, ■
Governor Boh ten, John Poole, James F..
Taylor and Megs us. Harris and -Jehkin'i, of
NorthCarolina,wl.»havebeenin Washington
several days, havtileft the city and are now
on their way home. They were appointed
a committee to come to Washington in the
interest of the loyal people of that State, and
they represent the views of abont forty of the
one hundred and seventy members of the
Legislature. They say that the bill pre
pared by them, and introduced into the
House on Thursday by Representative
Stevens to remand North Carolina to a ter
ritorial condition, and to provide for a con
vention to fond ft State
’Stands a good chance of being passed, and
that the leading Republican members
lhave privately expressed, themselves in its
.favor,. I ■ ■
The delegateshaye distributed amongCpn*
gressmena circular showing that a test oath
of loyalty in the insurgent States is essential.
Its application they say would, effectually
-place the government of the Southern States
inthe hands of the Union men and exclude
every secessionist, and no other test can do
bo without excluding thousands who were
l at first misled, but who repented and after
wards periled their lives and estates' in
'support of the Union. There need be no
apprehension that this oath would be falsely
taken, The status of every man at that
time was distinctly known to his neighbors,
The line was clearly drawn upon this test,
and upon it hundreds were imprisoned,out
raged and murdered. By the same measure
i let the persecuted Unionist have their re
ward, They are now discouraged and para-.
! lyeed, because, while the President would
' boldly deliver them oyer to degradation in
curred on account of their adherence to the
Union in the dark days of treason and blood,
tbe Congress seems to make no definite dis
tinction between them and their late and
present persecutors and enemies; but should
: Congress recognize and uphold them by
some just and discriminating law: they
would take courage, and boldly and sue-,
cessfully work for the Interests of the
Union. Thus would the true element of the
South stand prominently forward and make
secession and treason bow its head. Now,
traitors are bold and. arrogant, while the
true loyalists are mortified and: silent, and
the peace of tbe country is still disturbed
and the Union still unquestionably .in
danger.
Fortress Monroe and Vicinity.
Fortress Monboe, Dec. 14.—The steamer
Delaware, from Charleston, S.. C., for New
York, put into Norfolk this morning, short
of coal. She experienced strong northerly
gales during tbe entire passage. She put
into Hatteras and remained there at anchor
one day in consequence of a heavy sea. Tbe
supply" of coal gave out below Cape Henry,
and the captain was forced to burn the coal
bunkers to make steam. She sails to-night
for New York. Also, the steamer Monterqy.
Both are coaling at Norfolk:
The Baltimore pilot-boats Maryland and
Invincible arrived here from tbe Capes, and
report a heavy gale blowing outside froth
the north to the north-northwest.
Two steamers and a large fleet of vessels
have put into Hampton Roads in conse
quence of the heavy weather. The wind
has been blowing fresh all day, and the
weather is cloudy and cold,
A serious riot occurred in Portsmouth
last night, between parties of whites and
negroes. Three whites were dangerously,
and others slightly injured.
Early this morning a fire broke out in a
house of ill-fame, presumed to be the work
of incendiaries, in the vicinity where the
melee occurred. Before the fire department
reached the locality and could stay the pro
gress of the flames four buildings were
burned to the ground. The parties engaged
in the riot were arrested and held for trial,
Great excitement prevailed at the time on
account of others joining in and taking part
on both sides.
Fortress Monbob, Dec. 14.—The steamer
Monterey, Captain Edward, from New
Orleans, with passengers, <fcc., on the sth
inst., for New York, put into Norfolk this
morning short of coal. She experienced
southeast gales from the South West Pass
toTortugas, and northerly winds during
the rest of the passage.
Court BKartiAl Witnesses.
The following order in relation to sum
monses to witnesses has j ust been issued:
Officers or enlisted men receiving a sum
mons to attend as witnesses before a court
martial, or any civil courts outside of tbs
limits of the department in which they may
be serving, will prior to departure tn obedi
ence thereto, forward the same through the
proper channels to the commanding gene
ral of the department,' in order that the
necessary orders may be issued to enable
them to obey the same. In cases of extreme
urgency, and at remote posts, where tbe
public interests would -be liable to suffer by
delay, post commanders may authorize im
mediate departure in obedience to tbe sum
mons, making special report of the facts to
the department commanders for approval of
their action. Should a post commander be
himself so summoned, his action will con
form to the foregoing. It is strictly eDj olned
upon judge advocates of courts martial who
may find it necessary to subpoena witness
es, to send the subpoena whenever it is pos
sible, through tbe known military channels.
Mountains Abound Jerusalem.—
Jerusalem does not lie in the hollow of
an amphitheatre; it is placed, on the
contrary, on an eminence, with deep
valleys running nearly all round it.
But it is true, notwithstanding^ that the
mountains girdle it about, as the
Psalmist describes. On two sides, the
north and east, it is enfolded by the
Mount of Olives; on the south, the hill
<of Evil Counsel—the reputed site of the
country palace of Caiaphas, lihe High
Priest, where the . conspirators against
our Lord met on the night of his
seizure in Gethsemane—overhangs the!
valley of Hinnom, and looks right over'
it on Mount Zion. And, although upon
the west the hills' are at a great dis
tance they are on that side the
highest of all. In that direction are
Hamah and Gibeon, and not farther
away than five or six miles is the re
markable height known by the name of
Neby Samwil, upon which height tra
dition tells us that Samuel, the prophet,'
wasbured. Of the truth of this state
ment there is no evidence, but recent
inquiries and observations seem to have
proved it to be the site of, the ancient
Mizpah of Saul. Standing on the top of
Ifeby Samwil, the eye ranges from Jaffa
on the Mediterranean sea on the west
to Jordan, valley, and the mountains of
Ammon and Moab beyond it on the east.
Jerusalem is thus in the heartof a moun
tain land; for nearly twenty miles on
either side there is nothing around it but
hills.— Buchanan’s ClerieaTFurldugh in
the Holy Land.
A Curious Application.— A poor woman
made a curious application to" the Court of
Queen’s Bench in London last month. She
Btated that some years since a man who
owed, her some money was convicted of
felony, and conseuqently forfeited the whole
of his property to the crown. The Treasury
promised her that her debt should be paid,
j and she came to'- London' about-two years
i sicce to receive the money. She, however,
had not yet been paid, and being in. great
, distress she wished their lordships to make
an order, so that she could' be' provided for
until she received her inoney .' She had
been told that! the.psorkousewas not-the
place for her, and she had no means witb
which to support herself. The Court in
formed her that they were very sorry they
could not assist her.
•• ' Easy liessons In Geography..
WASHINGTON City.— The oity, of
'Washington was founded by George
Washington, the ‘‘Father of, his coun*
try,” and we may rendark, in -paren
theses, that although severai step-fathers
have endeavored to fill the place towards
the orphaned country, made vacant by
his death, yet noflP of them succeeded
to any considerable extent.
Washington was probably induced to
locate fcke Capital where he did oR ac
count of its Central position. His patri
otic heart never dreamed that the State
which gave him birth "would torn its
hand against the nation’s Capital. If he
had he would probably have'secured a
i tract of .land on the barbarous shores of
New Jersey.
The Potomac river runs near Wash
ington. Our reader's have heard of the
Potomac. It was the only place that
continued to remain ‘‘all quiet” during
; war. The rebels held the Potomacsome
!time after the war closed... .
Vessels used to get up the river some
times in spite of the batteries, but it was
at. the expense, of hugging. Mary Land
Shore, who must have been a frightful
old maid, or the sailors would not have
objected to hugging her. We don’t hear
that Mary (My Mary Land) objected
at all. ••
There is usually a good deal of travel
to Washington immediately after a new
Administration is inaugurated. They
are mostly self-sacrificing patriots, who
go there to pay their respects. to the
Chief Magistrate of the nation., If they
return home with an official order to
take charge of a custom house, or a small
post-office even, their . patriotism is
greatly augmented by their journey. If,
however, they return, 1 empty-handed,
there are hints of inefficiency in the
Administration,and forebodings that the
nation is rapidly drifting toward the
shoals of destruction. It is singular how
a bit of paper with an official seal will
enhance a man’s opinion of a President’s
capacity, and with what sanguine hopes
for our country’s future it will inspire
him.
You must not infer that all the houses
in Washington are red, or green, or
brown, save one, because yon read of the
White House. There are numerous
white houses there besides tbe one fur
nished rent free to the President.
That houße is not so very pretentious,
yet it has figured inthe dreams of many
who have aspired to go to housekeeping
in it, some of the most worthy of whom
failed to realize their dreams. No man
who loves a quiet home, who values
tranquillity of mind, who would escape
the tongue of obloquy, and who would
not have all his future movements tar
gets for tbe prying eyes of a nation,
should desire to have the White House
fitted up for his accommodation.—Cin
cinnati Time*.
Nasby’s Letters. —The famous letters of
Petroleum V. Nasby,’written by Mr. D. R.
Locke, were first suggested during the early
part of tbe war on the occasion ef the funeral
sermon, at 'Wingert’s Corners, in Crawford
county, Ohio, of a soldier who had given his
life to his country. It will be remembered
that until the last Presidential election all
of Nasby’s letters were dated at Wingert’s
Corners. Tbe preacher, on that occasion,
commenced his sermon with the remark:
“Here lies another victim to this abolition
war,” and in all his education, habits, po
litical belief, <fcc.. Is nearly allied to the
character which Mr.-Locke assumes. Mr.
L. having a keen sense of the ludicrous, and
knowing well the preacher and hia foibles,
was struck with the humor presented in the
antagonism of hia calling and practices, and
at once assumed to represent the one and
the other. Hence the Naabv letters.
