Faction is so rapidly going out of fitshion that it will require a strong sensation to give it even the briefest re-existence. The sue. cessive defeats of the various expedients to roive it have made those who profited von it unusually cautious. At last, how ever, they seem to be concentratingupon the case of Mrs. SURATT. She is to be martyr .zed and canonized among the chosen saints of the Secession Calendar. The humane cud pioUS people who had no sighs or tears Dr the murdered LiNcotrt, are about to create a party over the memory of the apotheosized Mrs. SURATT. Hearts that )ever palpitated with sorrow or indigna -ion when the Republic was assailed ; when 'he gallant sons of the North were killed battle, starved in prison, or mutilated by he savages of slavery ; when the poisoner, he incendiary, and the assassin, made a `ery carnival of blood and of death ; were instantly touched, as with a holy fire, then Mrs. FIIIATT was sentenced and lung as a party to the foulest murder of nodern times. For this cruel deed, the ?resident, Mr. STANTON, Judge HOLT, and he Military Commission, are all to be ar- Ligued, There is a vulgar idea that JEF- F:3130N DAVIS iS soon to be formally loin& to trial and to punishment. But lit :apital culprits and criminals are those jtst named. Whether a great party can be c.utructed by this new outcry remains to Lt sten. Faction having thiled in its other ( , nleprises, it will, doubtless, be clespeinte itt pashing this one to completion. Not mad can be said for the dignity of the en perinent. It lacks the essentials of high princples. It does not appeal to the Ilacr humanities. But it can boast the aroma of revenge Over a defeated conspiracy, and the passion that outlives the death of slavery—hatred of triumphant libe•ty. With these agencies it may pro tahly rally a party. A very able cotempo : rury, a fresh champion of the good cause, that we heartily welcome, the New Era, I.o,lhed at Blairsville, Indiana county, in State, writes on this very subject, as "lie sex of one of the culprits excited, ' , Muttily enough, an interest in the public I "ilainot felt for any of the others.

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL•" I r ASUINGTON, July 29, 1.865 A people accustomed to as many tribula tions as have afflicted the Americans, and living through a period in which some of the most momentous evils have been success fully and permanently disposed of, should not be daunted at the questions that have succeeded the overthrow of the Rebellion. Let us adniit that these questions are dangerously delicate and novel—it is much to feel that we have been dis cirlined in the diSposition of questions equally delicate and novel. It should be a source of added consolation, that we may extract from the discussions of these new complications certain elements with which to construct the substantial foundations of a lasting free Government. One of the most conscientious thinkers of Our times, a man who has been so rooted in his convictions as to be exceptionally exacting and intole rant as to others ; who has doubted Presi dent Johnson's restoration policy, and has alone been saved from denouncing hint by the confidence he felt in the character and had gathered from the unequalled sacrifices of our Chief Magistrate, said, a few days ago : "I confess that how exactly to proceed in view of the present and the future of my country, I cannot decide ; and thits power less to advise or to act, I can only invoke Providence to prepare for us the way to de liverance and to safety." But there is not only no cause for despair ; there is much cause for hope. The very magnitude of the questions before us counsels and compels careful and well-considered action. I have recently conferred freely with men of adverse opinions, and have read without passion the various news papers of the sections North and South; and while there is much to prove the ex istence of great diversity of sentiment, there is nothing to excite despondency. - From all the maze and Mixture, I, gather the assurance that slavery is really and practically abolished, and that the colored man in the Southern States will be better cared for hereafter than ever before. He may not secure the right of suffrage as rapidly as some of his zealous friends in sist ; (even as they know that they de mand what cannot be at once secured, and to that extent increase a most fetal preju dice against him,) but he will be pro tected in the enlightenment of hiM self and his children, and in the enjoyment of the fruits of his well-paid labor. The system of General Howard, the chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, is winning its way through practical chaos and over Copperhead calumny. I may be pointed to the malignity of the rebels, as shoWn in the late elections in Virginia and Tennessee. Ilow can you restore the Union Akvhile such passions are permitted fo run riot in the very face of : your President's forgiving policy ? One good answer might be, that these passions would not have been stifled had the President not sustained Governor Peirepont in the one, or not tolerated the candidacy of Etheridge and Campbell in the other. They would have burst forth the more fiercely because "the mili tary power" had been employed against them. But the true and the honest answer and remedy is in the diet, that President Johnson's policy is already established in the South, in spite of these treacheries. He is the master of the situation. It is perhaps better that he should have encountered a fresh instance of rebel ingratitude in Ten nessee, for that may prove to him "how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless" professing friend. And this very ingratitude prompted his formal endorse ment of Brownlow's course against it. That action of the President, and the sure pun ishment of the attempt to repeat rebel ras cality and perfidy in Virginia, will have the best effect upon the other Southern States. Provisional Governor Brown, of Georgia, anticipated and asserted the duty of the Southern States, when he told the Georgians that he intended to obey the laws of Con gress, take all the oaths, and act on the line marked out by the President. He . said : "Looking down the vista of time t I see Georgia tenfold more prosperous, and when all our sectional prejudices shall have died away, we shall meet together, North' and South, as brethren, rejoicing under one Go vernment, and marching On to the glorious destiny which is before us. Not only will Georgia increase in wealth and population, but the whole Southern country will be more prosperous in arts, manufactures, wealth, and civilization. I see them marching on -in this new order of things. The whole country, united in the bonds of charity and love, must go on prospering until *his great nation shall be unequalled by any Power on the earth." Other States will avoid the folly, and so avoid the fate of the Virginia and Tennes see plotters. It is therefore only waste of time to elect doubtful or treasonable men to the next Congress. Even if Mr. Mc- Pherson, the Clerk of the House, could stoop to the infamy of putting the names of such applicants upon the initial roll, (which I need not say he never dreamed of for a moment, ) the sterling ma jority of the House would at once and indignantly rebuke and repel the at tempt. Etheridge contemplated an act to which this would be a fraud ten thou sand times more appalling, before he called the roll of the last House but one, but be quailed before the thunders of the people. Let the patriot rejoice. We are safe all round. There is no cause for quarrel among ourselves, or with the President That there will be differences is natural. Better, for the cause, that they are made known. They need not run into dissension*, how ever, and I predict they will not.> The President may not consent to take the question of suffrage from the States, but he Will, not, as you see, agree that those who enjoy suffrage shall abuse it to hamper him, to persecute the freedmen, or to bring rebel chiefs back into civil office. He is anxious to have the Union restored, but he is not ready, as you see, to bring back the traitors to Congress. If the peo ple of the South cannot read in these signs a solemn and fixed resolve, and if the Union party of the North cannot find in them the inspiration for harmony and for confidence among themselves and faith in the Presi dent, both sides are as deaf to reason as "statues that look life, yet neither breathe nor stir." OCCASIONAL. General Grant at Boston. BOSTON, July 20.—Lieutenant General Grant, accompanied by his wife and four children, and his stair, consisting of Colonel - Babcock, Horace Porter, and Adam Dadeau, and E. L. Parker, Chief of the.

Thomas 11, Dudley, United states Consul. THE MEXICAN IMBROGLIO. (Special neap:ltch to the Press.) ARIiINGTON, July 30, 1805 From unoilicial, yet unquestionable sources, I gather the following interesting facts worthy to be known in commercial and political circles: The course :of the Eng lish Government, alike Conservative and Tory, since the overthrow of the rebellion, has been unaccountably malignant, and is, only to be explained by the fact that all-sides, except the liberals alone, are disappointed that the fates had not otherwise decreed. I need not quote the scandalous speech of Roe buck on the Tory side, nor the shameless, dis reputable, and dangerous doctrines of Lord John Russell for the Ministry. The fact is suf ficient. 011 y information is simply, yet pow erfully confirmatory of these manifestations of extreme rancor on the part of the leaders; and, taken in connection with the Met that it is given almost simultaneouSly with the intcl• litrence of the atrocities of the rebel pirate lira:l/am - Mali, is something of an admonition. On the 13th of July Liverpool elected two ( Ten foes of the United States (Tories), to rep resent the town in Parliament. On the 11th the ship Aline reached Liver pool; from Irrivann, with 14,000 bales of cotton, valued at present prices, at sloo,ooo—belonging to the late rebel Government. Mr. Dudley, our Consul at Liverpool; tiled a bill in Chancery, claiming it as the property of the United States. On the oth, the pirate steamer Rappahannock (under the alias of Beatrice) entered Liverpool from Calais. The plea is put forth that she has been sold to a Liverpool merchant—of course a silent Of the basest coin. Mr. Consul DUDLEY at once obtained eminent legal advice, and on the 11th instructed his Counsel to insti. lute suit in the Briti.th Admiralty Courts, to re cover her for the United States as property of the defunct and surrendered Confederacy. This is giving Lord RussELL a (lose of his own me dicine ; for it is his advice that the complain ants of his policy should go to law, though he does not point out what courts they should re sort to. lam not clear as to the exact grounds upon which this suit is brought; hut Mr. Dun- LEY being a line lawyer himself, has doubtless Miceli care not to compromise his Govern ment. There are now at Liverpool the pirates Sumpter, Tallabasse, Rappahannock, and Ajax—the, latter having never obtained her armament. There is nearly as much hollow parade about the trouble with Mexico as there was about the immense resources of the rebellion just before it broke down. You know how the rebels lied, from the head to the tail, immedi ately in advance of the explosion. Well, ex actly as much truth may be extracted from the lohd reports from the Rio Grande. That Maxlmillian will leave, is as sure to my mind, as that Jeff Davis left Richmond; but it will not be immediately. The pear is not yet ripe. It will fall when it is, without much shaking. Our ever-watchful sentinel, Mr. Seward, now at Cape May with his family, does not seem to be disturbed about these rumors of war. He feels fortified as to England, by the fact, the law, the history, and the record of England herself. rot the sevenfold shield of Ajax was stronger than we are here. As to Mexico, the book of diplomacy contains nomore luminous example than that he has written for his coun try in her relations with our sister Republic, soon, 1 hope, to be so in fact as well as in name. *s* WASHINGTON.

TAE TEXAN BIDE OR TUE nrem: The contingent forces our GovernniCut has sent to the frontier have nearly all arrived, and their line extends, according to the cor respondents, from a point a few miles above Broa'nsvillc to Brazos de SantiagO;which is the base of supplies. The country they occupyis thus described : "Brazos Santiago is a desert island near the mouth of the Rio Grande—a wild waste of land, 'upon whose inhospitable shore not a particle of water or of vegetation can be found. Prior to the war with Mexico, to which coun try it then belonged, Brazos was the port of entry for Matamoros and Boca del Rio—the latter at that time amiserabie Mexican hamlet at the month of the. Rio Grande.

TEE CONDITION OF TEXAS. TeXas is said to be almost as convulsed Wilber ternany as its neighbor, Mexico. Aceg to the Galveston correspondence of thew Orleans Times, when the rebel army a State diAanded itself, the soldiers seeo divide themselves into three classes: t ..: - " The 'first! class, which may be termed law-abiding portion, and which numbere least ore hall of the army, went directly their homes, without molesting either pa or private property on their way. The 11 souri, Arkansas, and Louisiana troops, w were regularly discharged, aro included these remarks. These men, be it said to th credit, have since generally remained at him and conducted themselves properly. They are rated among reliable and valuable Ml •!zeit' 6 - ,i , Texas. They belonged to the class that-war could not demoralize. The second and third classes, instead of retiring dirset ly to their places of abode, Made a break, as they termed it, for every point where thr knew or suspected Government proof was stored. This they seized and div among themselves, the stronger taking lion's share. Not being over serupulour appropriated, in many instances, prop which the Government bad and ry a claim, and this, too, when it was proved to them that the property th( taking belOnged to private indwith fact, in Ban Antonio, I saw some troops enter the stores of citizens off from three stores not less th worth of goods belongingtOMereii knowledgmg at the same time they ki did not belong to the Government. sort of robbery and plunder was not to San Antonio.

Old pected of - having a few dollars laid aiTt been taken from their dwellings and 1 the nearest tree, 'because they either money, or, having it, would not revk place of deposit.

What the first gang spares the second takes, and their victims are fortunate to escape with their , lives. These robbers seized the horses of - stage lines from San Antonio, Gon zales and Victoria to the Rio Grande, and rob bed the passengers to such an extent that these lines had to be abandoned. The stage lines through other sections wore discontinued for the satire reason. The atrocities committed by these villains would till a volume. It is to be hoped that the United States troops will be able soon to capture or exterminate every scoundrel wife has been engaged in thin dia bolical wickedness. The people are praying for it throughout the State, and if necessity required it 50,000 Texans would volunteerthem services to Waist in wiping out these- curt throats, who deserve no mercy. The statement that one hundred thousand troops have been sent by our Governmenkto Mexico is denied, by what are asserted Wits authorities, and authorities on the otherside say that the story that Maximilian hits eon.- centrated thirty-five thousand men at Mtn mores, is equally untrue. It is argued in the latter case, that no such steps would be taken without mature deliberation, and without a. trans-Atlantic• correspondence, and for that not one-fourtb.anough time has elapsed. Con cerning the former statement, it is stated that we have but little if any more than seveu teen thousantlmen around Brownsvllle. Mat amoras was, up to a recent date, garrisoned by about three thousand French, who are kept within the city by the prowling guerillasun der Cortinas. Another statement has been made that Maximilian is receiving immense amounts of assistance by numerous enlist ments of Conteastatesoldiers. ABrownsville writer says : This I have. every reason to believe untrue. Generals Barbs , Smith, Magruder, Shelby, Slaughter, Price, and some of less note, are here ; and ex-Governors Murrell and Clark of Texas, and Moore and Allen of Louisiana, but there are not with them, all told, over fifteen hundred men. All these are on their way to Sonora, except a few who desire to return, if the exceptions to the amnesty should, be re voked in their favor, and these will remain at Monterey. There is no design on their part, as I am credibly informed, to enter the mili tary service of Mexico. If other resOureeS fail, they may be compelled so to do. TEM CONDITION OF MEXICO A busircose-lotter, dated City of Nonifty July 11, to tx.firra in blew York, says: In the State of Vera Cruz the Republicans now occupy the whole State, with the , excep tion of. the line of one of the roads-from Vera Cruz—that by way of Orizaba—and,this is now frequently cut by the Liberals. Tho Republi can Governor of the State of Puebla is regain ing possession of many of the towns of that State; the State of Tontine° arahehispas are ruled by Republican governors,.who Occupy them in their whole extent; a great part of the State of iDjaca is again in • open rebellion the State of Mexico is overmany the Liberal ; General - Vicente Riva Palacios,.who has under his. Cori/Maud Some• two thousand men, and portions of his forces penetrate often ' into the valley of Mexico, quite near to the gates of the capital. A. part of this State, !that was submitted to the Empire through a treaty with one of the commanding officers, is now in rebellion again, and the in,. : surgents have captured Rue utta, the chief tows of the district, taking al of the garrison prisoners. General Alvarez is complete nuts ter of the State of Guerrero, where the French dare not penetrate, and in Michoacan there is quite a respectable array under the Liberal commander•imehief, General Arteaga, who oc cupies most of the Slate except the 000)184 which is now threatened. One of his Mitten• ants, General ItCgill.oB, lately took prisoners a Belgian ~, ,,a rrison, Which is still in their power, and we have just received news that he has ' also captured the garrison of Uruapan, Con sisting of some three hundred men. Two of the imperial regiments of this State have left their banner and joined the Republicans, to whont, it Is said, further desertions are daily being made. From this State the insurrection has communicated to those ,of Guanajuato, San Luis Votosi, and Jalisco, where there aro ,More than a dozen chiefs commanding dif rent _parties of guerillas. In the States of oahuila,Neuvo,Leon arid Tantaulipas,though. ate)) , the French forces took possession of the cities of Monterey and Saltillo, It 14 YC'ii:4.lol4 ItiMqing Ray apple %pi. the 7 Republicans, who only fell hack to unite again at another place, and so keep up an exhaust ing and nevevending struggle. The Liberal forces in those States are some five thousand strong. General Carbajal in Tamaulipas has lately taken possession of Ciudad Victoria, the capital of the State s and of Tula, whose garri son were taken prisoners. Tampico is also threatened by tills Same general. In short, there is perfect disorder and insurrection everywhere, and the country is further from being pacified to-day than ever. It is believed here that the situation cannot continue long. Of course, in the midst of these clashing ac counts, it is bard to say what is the. true situa tion, The truth is claimed on both sides; but, after all, experience tells us that it is the tele grams from New Orleans, via Cairo, that are the least likely to be correct. Until there is another arrival from New Orleans no opinion can be ventured on the last reported move of Maximilian: There is undoubtedly a largo and unruly element among the Texan population, comprised partly of Texans, but mostly of Missourians, who will, while they can, rob the people of Texas, and, when that resort fails, join the ranks of the Imperial army. What we have given above gives about as clear an idea of the situation as can just now be gained. FOR.TRESS MONROE.
