LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."
WAsurserom, Sept 98, 188.5
It will be many years before hatred of
the colored man on the part of reckless po
liticians and their ignorant followers, is
moderated, and many more before it is
wholly destroyed. I notice, even among
the Southerners who come here for par
don, that the translation of the slaves
into freedmen has converted what
was a sort of interested kindness into
a very different emotion. Of the party
leaders in your midst I need not speak.
Their present bitterness against the co
lored man cannot be stronger than it was
at any time since the beginning of the war.
They only show it more offensively and fre
quently now, because it is by harping on that
one string that they hope to hide the proof
of their own treasonable practices, and to in
duce thoughtless voters to support their can
didates at the coming elections. The two
elements that are now most vehemently
arrayed against that large and disfran
chised class, are, therefore, the defeated
rebels in the South, and the defeated po
liticians who sympathized with them in
the North. Between these two conge.
nial influences, the colored citizen has
a rather unenviable prospect before him.
Denied the most trifling share in the
Government, expelled from the cars, at
tacked on the streets, and constantly mis
represented by tens of thousands of active
and malignant intellects, even in what are
called the free States, his fate in the
South is one strongly calculated to
awaken the alarm of the philanthropist
and the statesman. A people of bet
ter opportunities, higher aspirations, and
stronger intelligence, would falter and
fail under such unceasing and increas
ing burdens of prejudice and proscription.
It is in vain that you tell the persecutors
of these people how little their . opinions
had to do in the provocation of the
war—how nobly their orderly conduct
dining the rebellion refuted the pre
diction that they would rise upon their
masters and cover their plantations
with fire and with blood—how, with scarce
an exception, they were the friends, and
the pilots, and, in many cases, the almo
ners, of the Union soldiers—and how they
fought and fell in defence of the Union
cause ; such arguments only increase the
anger of the late rebel, and stimulate the
venom of the Copperhead. It is easy
to see how, if there were no ear
nest counteracting interest, the color
ed Millions in the United States would
fare. The duty of considering their destiny,
of providing, from a full knowledge of pre
sent perils, against tyranny over them, is
therefore not to be lightly weighed or par
tially discharged. Happily for our character
as a humane and enlightened people, the
inro population are not to be left to the .
cruel care of wicked and reveng-ful men.
Even supposing that the great majority
of the Southern people have sworn to be
the remorseless persecutors of this popula
tion, and that in this satanic crusade they
are to be aided by the heartless party lead
ers and their deluded followers in the North
ern States, the instinct of protection and' of
justice to all the down-trodden children of
men, and of horror and hate of all shapes
and degrees of tyranny, will quicken and
swell every manly and loyal heart. The
defeat of the Rebellion has devolved many
stupendous duties upon American patriots
and Christians, " and this is of them"

WASHINGTON, September 25,1855.
Steamer in Pursuit ofthe Shenandoah.
The Navy Department is in receipt of intel
ligence that the United States steamers Sara
mteand Lawrence sailed from Sau Francisco,
the former on the 14th, and the latter on the
20th of Aagust, in pursuit of the pirate steamer
Shenandoah. Both of these steamers are fast,
and are very heavily armed and thoroughly
equipped, and should either of them be so for
tunate as to overtake the bucaneer no fear can
he entertained for the result.
The Taxation of Homesteads.
In reference to inquiries as to the right to
tax homesteads under congressional statute,
the General Land °Mee has made reply to the
following effect: The act requires five years
continuous actual residence and cultivation
from date of entry, before the department' an
give a fee-simple title by patent. Should a
party after entry abandon or otherwise not
meet all the requirements of the law, his
claim would be invalid and void, and the
land would fall back into the map of imbue
domain.
Treasury Decision.
The Second Comptroller of the Treasury de
cides that heirs of colored soldiers whO were
free when they entered the service of the
United States are entitled to whatever pay or
bounty was due the deceased soldier. The title
Of colored soldiers to pay, bounty, &c., is based
upon their freedom, and being so at the time
of their enlistment. If they furnish horses,
which are captured by the enemy, they are en.
titled to pay therefor.

GOVERNOR CURTIN CANVASSING THE STATE FOR
HARTRANFT AND CAMPBELL.
[Special to The Press.]
Last evening a very large and enthusiastic
Union gathering was held at the Court House.
Andrew Gregg, of Centre county, was elected
president. Hon. Edward MePheison made a
lengthy and eloquent speech. He criticised
Pollard's celebrated pamphlet and the Demo
cratic Convention platform. He then corM
pared the two together.' The plans of the
Democrats had only one object, when during
the late war, so happily closed, they had
asked for a suspension of hostilities, and a
convention of States, it was ultimately to
grant Southern independence. lie referred
to the fortitude and patriotism of the Ameri
can people, who checked the schemes of Val
.landigham, Reed, and Others, and caused our
country to stand forth the proudest of
all nations and to challenge the admira
tion of the world. The Democratic r cord
is not such as will put that party in poweY. At
first good and pure men, withiprains, but fall
ing in the bands of the Delilah of slavery,
ceased to have respect for the country, and
with folded arms lookedhon, while cohorts of
treason attempted to destroy the temple of
liberty. The representatiCreg of these men
also failed to vote in Congress for men and
money, and oppoSed the Government in every
possible manner. The speaker then referred
to the preamble of the Harrisburg Democratic
Platform, which reallymeant the arraignment
of the martyred Lincoln. He then spoke in
glowing terms of that great and good man
and said that he would rather be the dead
Lincoln in his Wan than the author of that
atrocious preamble. He also condemned that
Portion of the same platform which charged
Andrew Johnson with murder, for ordering
the execution of the assassins. The speaker
was frequently interrupted by applause. WM,
Nicholson, of Philadelphia, followed with a
hunt_ orous speech, which elicited much laugh
ter and applause. General Joshua Owen
made a brief but eloquent speech. He oomph•
molted the people of the county on their en
terprise and thrift. He said that lie had left
the Democratic party because it had left the
path it followed for so many years, and be
cause it bad connived for disunion. For the
same reason had Hooker, Sickles, Burnside
and Hartranft left the ranks of that organi
zation. He called upon the people all to go to
the polls, and not to allow the election to be
lost by default, Or on account of carelessness.
Those men brought our country safe through
the dangers and horror of the late war are the
mew who now should rule it. Dr. Doane, of
Washington, D. C., followed with an eloquent
address. During the proceedings General
Hartranft entered, and was received with
deafening cheers.
It fs estimated that forty thousand people
arc now here. To•day's proceedings opened,
as those of yesterday, with a grand cavalcade
of horses. After the cavalcade, a parade of
the Williamsport firemen took place. The
men were all uniformly dressed in red shirts
and black pants, and presented a fine appear
ance. They drew their hand-engines and reels.
The usual display of cattle came off to-day on
the track. This was followed by a trial of
speed—stakes, three hundred dollars; the
first premium one hundred, and 'the second
fifty. The first was won by a horse from
Luzerne county in 2.39, and the second
in 2.4tPA, by a horSe belonging to Peter
Ilerdie, of this place. The day of the pick
pockets has passed, and the arrival of De
tective Carlin, of your city, caused quite a
stampede among these individuals. Four pro
fessionals were fortunately captured and have
been sent where they can brood over the queer
turn things sometimes take. Governor Cur
tin and General Slifer arrived here to-day.
The Governor speaks in response to many im
portunities at Luncaster7on the 2d, and on the
3th in Delaware county. It is also stated that
he will surely speak in Philadelphia before
the election. To-morrow is the last day of the
fair, Many persons, being already worn out-by
the incessant excitement, have gone home.
Thousands, however, will remain to see the
exhibition to the end. The Athletic Bas-hall
Club of your city, played a match game to
day with a picked nine from the Williamsport,
Philadelphia, and Erie clubs. The Athletics
were, of course, victorious. The score stood
forty-one to eight. The game was played in
the presence of thousands of spectators, and
a fine play on either side was greeted with
rounds of applause. As the fair draws to
close the interest does not seem to abate in
any way whatever. J. R. D.

NEW YORK EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
PROCEEDINOS YESTERDAY-PASTORAL ADDRESS
OP_ BISHOP POTTER
The Episcopal convention of the southern
diocese of New York continued its sessions
yesterday. Bishop Potter delivered his an
nual address :
TheShOp returned thanks to Providence
for the auspicious circumstances under which`
the convention was permitted again to assem
ble. He referred to the improved circum
stances of our national affairs, and the resto
ration of peace, unity and strength to the
land. The world has witnessed a groat spec
tacle—a nation victorious and strong, return
ing to the paths of peace, having apparently
abandoned the arts of war. The reverend
speaker spoke eloquently of the soldiers who
have returned to their firesides after years of
hardship, to till the Soil and gather the har
vests; of the many heroes who bear honored
wounds, which they will carry with them
through life. One of the effects of the return
of Jeaee,the speaker said, would be the re
union omany of the ecclesiastics of the South,
who have been true to their faith through a
long struggle.
The speaker said that he believed the 'prin
cipal acts of the Southern diocese would be
cordially approved by the Church North. He
recommended to the diocese all efforts to re

us aid them. It was true that the Bishop of
Georgia had advised his people not to ask for
exterior aid, yet it was most proper to step
forward and assist them. There are no nobler
men in the House of Bishops than several of
those belonging to Southern dioceses.
The Bishop nest referred to the growth and
acts of his own diocese durie the -past year.
His visitations were continualthroughout the
summer, and now he feels the seed of repose.
He had attended upwards of two hundred and
fifty services. The speaker also alluded in
tittmg words to the deaths. of the Presiding
Bishop of the Convention of Bishops of the
United States, the Bishop of Connecticut, the
Bishop of Western New York, and the Bishop
of Pennsylvania, all of whom were formerly
members of the diocese of New York.
The Bishop spoke at muoh lens n in relation
to the parochial work and city n 11.9.91011 con•
nected with the diocese. He said that all or
the institutions were in a flourishing condi
tion.
The Bishop said that a portion of the time
had been Set apart for the consideration of a
prov3ncial system. The subject lied been in
troduced by one of the oldest members of the
convention. The speaker did not wish to an
ticipate the action of the convention.
In the condition of the church in the dio
cese and elsewhere there is much to encour
age us. There has been a rapid increase in
members, and the clergy has become more
evangelical. There were many . superficial
observers who believe that there is danger of
convulsions and divisions in the church.. To
those who were well acquainted with the
workings of the church there appeared no
such danger.
Ex-Governor King then offered the follow
ing resolution :
Resolved, That this Convention cordially re
sponds to the sentiments presented by the
Bishop of this diocese, in his address respect
ing the return of peace to our land, and the
state of the church in the Southern dioceses.
THE DEAD . BISHOPS
A committee was appointed to draw up a
proper expression of the feelings of the Con
vention in relation to the deaths of the Bishops
of Connecticut, Western New York and Penn
sylvania,
General Martranft and Mrs. Suratt.
[From the Norristown ludepeudent.]
The religion of the country is involved! and
an attempt is made to array the Catholics
against General Hartranft because he was in
command of the post where Mrs. Suratt and
the other conspirators were tried and ex
ecuted. No Christian Catholic will be de
ceived by so transparent a trick. It is no
fault of the Catholic creed that Mrs. Suratt
belonged to that church ; nor would it be any
disgrace to General Hartranft if he had hung
a Catholic or a Quaker convicted of the
black and damning crime of conspiracy to
destroy the life of the President of the Hinted
States of America—the greatest country upon
the face of the earth. But General Hartranft
is no more responsible for the hanging of those
Conspirators than President Johnson, who
could have pardoned them, and whom our op
ponents now profess so much to admire. He
is no more responsible for it than any other
man in the Union army, obeying the orders of
his superiors, for the man who hung Mrs.
Suratt was a Cathode of the first water, and
went to the same church with her in Washing
ton city. So the argument fails ; or if it
fails not, it tells trumpet-tongued against
those who urge it. Major llathe is the
'Man who hung Mrs. Suratt, and he be
longs to her church, and Gen. Hartranft had
nothing to do with it but to command order
and discipline during the trial. Why do not
our opponents blaze away at. Gen. Hancock,
that old hero who was in command of Gen.
Hartranft, and whose orders alone our candi
date for Auditor General was bound to obey
It does not serve the purpose of the Demo
cratic party toabuse too many heroes at one
time, consequently for the present they ex
pend their venom upon Gen. Hartranft. That
our candidate is no politician we admit; that
he is an honest man, a daring %lid a heroic
soldier none dare deny. Upon this record lie
stands, and upon it he will as surely succeed
at home as he did in•the army.

and everything of which the Shenandoah
might stand in need, then obtained a Clear

we are to believe the American Journals. It

'VIRGINIA.
The Congressional Canvass.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 2S.—Riehmond and Peters
burg papers at yesterday have been received.
Dr. Woods, of Albemarle, has withdrawn from
the congressional canvass in the Sixth district
because he could not take the oath. In a pub
lished card he says
"Decent indications, however, apparent to
all, and recent information not accessible to
all, convince me, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that there will be no repeal or modifi
cation, and our only hope of being represented
at all is to select men who can take the oath as
it now stands. Honestly and conscientiously en
tertaining this opinion, there is no alternative
left me but to withdraw from the emigres-
Bjonal canvass, when it is perfectly obvious
that our noble President, standing as he does
a great breakwater bet Ween the radicals of
the North and our prostrate country, needs
every Southern representative to sustain him.
Wore I to permit any selfish consideration to
control or influence me, I should despise
myself, and be false to every honorable
im
pulse of my nature." The Republic accom
panies the card with the remark : "The field
is thus left open to Mr. Lewis and Mr. Sandy
Stuart. Mr. Lewis can very consistently take
the test oath ; but Mr. Stuart's conscience pre
vents." The Republic also says : The people
of Hanover Court House were addressed on

The Lynchburg Republican says one of the
most distinguished gentlenfen of the State,
whose name they are not permitted to give,
rites as follows in regard to the eligibility of
the congressional candidates :
"I regard it as absurd; not to say criminal
in the people, under exciting circumstances,
to elect such men. A man who feels and
knows that be is not eligible ought :not, in
these times Of trial and trouble, to thrust him

Bosiol, Sept. 28.—Captain Edward H. Sand
ford, widely known as one of the principal
Owners of Sandford's line of steamers between
this city and Bangor, died at St. Catharbie's
Springs, C. W., on Wednesday, of congestion
of the hinge.
A clashing young woman named Nellie Otis,
alias Cushy, Ms been arrested here for the
larceny of $6,400 in money and Government
bonds, from a man in New York, on Friday
night last. The Woman arrived here on Satur
day and created considerable excitement
among the sporting fraternity, exhibiting
$3,000 at a time, visiting the races. and paying
for thirty-two bottles of wine and other li
quors. She placed $3,200 in the. hands of a
young man to keep for her, and upon his re
fusing to return $2,100 of it, she made Com
plaint at the police station. The man was
found and $2,500 returned as was supposed to
the rightful owner. The man froM whom the
money was stolen then made his appearance,
and recovered less than half of the $5,4.00, but
refuses to prosecute the woman.
THE FREEDMEN.
GENERAL HOWARD'S Ant - ioR TO T 11115!
Major General Howard delivered a speech to
a large assemblage of freedmen, lately, at the
African Church, Lynchburg, Virginia.
•
lie advised them all to make Caramels with
their former masters or others, and when they
had made them to keep them—observe them
to the letter ; be faithful, industrious, obe
dient, and thus to live down the predictions
of many that they were unfit for freedom.
The General cautioned them against Arra.
neous and exaggerated ideas of what free
dom was ; that it brought with it to them
responsibilities and cares that they had
never known before ; that they would have
to work hard and Constantly to provide for
themselves and families, but that they could

honest and provid....4. „no- urgeu upon them
with great earnestness to do right—try'in all

some entertained that the lands of the Smith
would be parcelled among them by the Go
vernment at Christmas. This idea, he told
theni, was utterly without foundation, and to
discard it from their minds. The Government
had no lands to :give; it had no right to take
them from their owners, and it would not
be best if it had- the right; and that if

probably, soon be cheated! oat of them by

du'atrious and *economical, and try to save
enough from their wages to bay themselves

cate their children, and bring them up to
correct and useful lives. The General alluded
to the pernicious advice which had been
given them by misChevious persons,.such as,
If a white man pushes you oIY the sidewalk,
push him off too ; if he strikes you, strike him
back again," &e. This, said the General, is all
wrong. They must remember not to violate
the teachings of the blessediriaviour of whom
they had been hearing; who when lie was re

An 'Unpublished Letter of Mr. Lincoln.
It will be remembered that a long time ago
a letter from Mr. Lincoln to the Comedian
Hackett was published, in which the deceased
Executive gave a short criticism on Shake
pears. The publication of this letter gave
newspaper men a chance to comment upon it;
seeing these Mr. Lincoln wrote to 11r. Hackett
as follows :
"My note to you I certainly did not expect
to see in print; yet I have not been much
shocked by the newspaper comments upon it.
Those comments constitute a fair specimen of
what has accursed me through life. I have en
dured a great deal of ridicule without much
malice, and have received agreat deal of kind
ness, not quite free from ridicule. lam used

STATE ITEMS.
Business was not quite as brisk as usual
at Titusville. The health of the town and sur
rounding country is improving.
The Lewisburg Ohroniele rejoices that beef
can be bought in that market for eighteen
cents a pound. Let us have a Lewisburg mar.
ket here, by all Means.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says : -
"It is admitted, on all sides, that Major Ge
neral Meade's great victory at Gettysburg,
Saved Pennsylvania from utter devastation.,
and no doubt rescued the other Middle and
Eastern States from invasion by an infuriated
horde of drunken rebels. The battle of Get
tysburg was one of the most brilliant achieve
ments of the age, and the glory which Meade
won on that occasion was shared by every
gallant soldier who fought under his com
mand. Yet, in the face of these facts—con
vinced that Meade's victory had saved the
homes and firesides of Pennsylvania from de
solation, blood-stain and pollution—it was re
served for the Copperhead.a in the Pennsylva
nia Senate to oppose and defeat a resolution
rendering thanks to General Meade and his
army for their great service on the battle
field. The following extract from the Legato
tive.Record for 1864, page 24, places the Copper
heads in their tree position of ingratitude to
the soldier :
MAJOR OBEERAL GEORGE G. MEADE AND THE
, ARMY OP THE POTOMAC.
Mr. McCandless. I offer the following reso
lution! '
_Resolved, That the people of PenridylVania,
through their representatives; tender their
Profound and heartfelt thanks to Major Gene
ral George G. Meade and the Army of the Po
tomac for relieving our native State from the
tread of the rebel hordes, and hurling them
back from the immortal field of Gettysburg
and while we thus tender our thanks to the
noble living, we revere the memory of the im
mortal dead who sacrificed their lives on the
holy altar of their.belOved eolintry.
On the question, will the Senate proceed to
a second reading of the resolution,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr. Do
novan and Mr. Stark, and were as follow, viz
YeAs—Messrs. ChampneYs, Connell, Dunlap,
Fleming, Graham, liege, Householder, John
son, Lowry McCandless, Nichols, Ridgway,

NAvs—Messrs. Beardslee t Bucher Clymer,
Donovan, Glatz, Hopkius, Kinser, Lumberton,
Latta, McSherry, Montgomery, Y.eiily, Smith,
Stark, Stein, and Wallace-16.
So the question was determined in the nega
tive.
Can any soldier support the candidates of a
party thus ungrateful for victories won by the
sacrifice of many hundreds of noble lives',
'We believe there is no soldier in Pennsylva
nia who can be seduced into the support of the
candidates of such an organization, and when
William A. Wallace, chairmrn of the Copper
head State Central Committee, appeals to the
soldier fer his vote, he will be answered With
indignation by every hero who fought at Get-
Aysburg " You refused to render me a vote of

TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE
CONTINUED.
A COMMANDER OF THE POST THINKS THE PRISON
NOT HALF CARED FOR,
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS DRAWN
UP BY THE PRISONER.
THE DEAD LINE ESTABLISHED BY lIIM.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—The examination of
Co]. Parsons was resumed. While he com
manded at Andersonville, boxes of supplies
from the Sanitary Commission had reached
there; he had them sent into the prisoners,
for which they thanked him ; the witness never
knew of Captain Wirz being absent with the
dogs; it was a penitentiary offence for the
Confederates to trade for greenbacks; he
thought this was so declared by Congress, and
by a statute of the State of Georgia; the coun
try around Andersonville was poor, and as a
consequence vegetables were scarce; soon
after sonic negroosll4o reached Andersonville
he addressed a communication to General
Winder, asking what disposition should be
made of them ; the reply was that the ques
tion was held in abeyance at Richmond, and
until it was settled they should be treated as
prisoners - of war; the witness did not know
whether sentries were relieved after shooting
Union prisoners; such information never
reached him ; in the rules and regniSlUMS for
the government of the prison, signed by Capt.
Wirz, trading by the prisoners was inter.
dieted.
Cross-examined by Judge Chipman.—The
witness was first assigned to the command of
the troops and next to the post ; a great effort
was made to build accommodations • Captain
Wirz assumed the responsibility of erecting
the dead. house.
The Judge Advocate. Would it not have been
more humane to build a shelter for the living ?
The witness. I think it was impracticable
for Captain Wirz to furnish all the shelter re.
quired.
The Judge Advocate. You do not answer my
question.
The Witness. Then I answer yes; some shel
ter might have been built. I think the Quar
termaster had not sufficient energy ; I never
exercised the right to punish a prisoner; Cap
tain Wirz never received any order for that
fpurpose from me_ ; the latter was responsible
or what he did there 3 Vapt4in Wirz drew up
the orders and regulations, andthey had my approval ; Captain Wirz labored indefatiga
bly; whether or not he accomplished all he
desired I do not know, but I do know the
prison - was not half cared for.; I think the re
sponsibility rests on those Who crowded so
many 'prisoners there.
By the court. Captain Wirz drew up the
Prison rules by his own authority,. the witness
approved of them because he thought they
were right ; there was no dead line therein
provided for; it was subsequently erected by
virtue, he supposed, of Captain Wirz's own
rank.
Nazareth Allen, 3d Georgia Reserves, who
had been examined for the prosecution, was
now called for the defence. There was a good
deal of sickness in his regiment; owing to the
heavy duty required, much dissatisfaction ex
isted. and some of the men strayed away; the
effect of the bad rations was diarrhoea and
other diseases among the troops; he saw some
of his men waning old clothing which they
had purchased from the Union prisoners;
when Stoneman's captured raiders were
brought to Andersonville they were searched,
and jewelry, paper money, ladies' shawls,
pocket books, gold, tablespoons and forks,
and daguerreotypes taken from them;
tiess never heard that a furlough Could be ob
tained for shooting Union prisoners.
Cross-examined by the Judge Advocate.
The witness knew of no soldier dying from
Starvation, or emaciated because of 11191-Ifa
°lent fopa _
Question. Was the clothing which you saw
on rebel soldiers taken from the dead bodies
of Union soldiers? Answer. I do not know,
hot believe so.
pi}•. Baker. Tell us all about it.
The Judge Advocate objected ; saying the
witness had anwered the question.
Mr. Baker insisted the witness should tell all
about it.
The court. Mr. Baker, your question is very
improper.
Mr. Baker. The Judge Advocate stopped the
witness.
The court. Ile is the Judge advocate's wit
ness.
Baker. I must call the attention of the
court to—
The court, interrupting. We don't want to
hear it. It is very improper.
Mr. Baker. Let us have the whole of the an
swer.
The court. Let the - witness proceed. We
don't need any assistance of yours at all.
The Judge Advocate. "Th.B witness said he
did not know of his own knowledge?'
Mr Baker said the Judge Advocate asked the
witness a question but before he had half
answered it stopped him. The court, when
Boston Corbett was before them, ordered
him to go on and complete his answer under
circumstances similar to these now pending.
The court said it was not to be presumed
that the Judge Advocate would violate the
rules of the court.
The Judge Advocate repeated that the wit
ness had answered the question.
The court asked the witness—Were they
opinions or facts you were about to state
The witness. My opinions.
The court. We have already 'decided we
don't care about opinions.
Mr. Baker. I ask that the court pass on it.
The court. We have done it repeatedly. We
don't care about the opinions of witnesses un
less they are professional.
Mr. Baker. The witness was stopped in the
midst of his answer:
The court. We have decided the question. I
tell you again we need no argument. If you
will take your seat I will take the question.
The court voted, when the result was an
nounced, in these words: "The court don't
care about the opinions of witnesses."
Other witnesses were then examined for the
defence, and the court adjourned.
MEXICO.
Both sides of the Question—Contradie
tory Reports both from the Liberal and
French Side—Au Attack Threatened
on Matamoros.
From a nines of correspondence from Maxi.
co we print the following extracts, showing
the position occupied by both the French and
Liberal armies. Of course, it is plaimed both
sides are correct in the news they promulgate,
and, therefore, we give to our readers both
statements. A Tribune correspondent says iek
Mexico, August 12.—News from Sonora is
that the evacuation of that State by Juarez
was caused by the insubordination of his sol
diers, who refused to serve him any longer.
General Pesqueira,who is in command of Her
mosillo, was abandoned by his men out of a
garrison of about one thousand soldiers, two
undred and fifty alone consented to remain
with him. The city of Oposura. in the nOrtaxerit
part of Sonora, had pronounced for the empire.
The French prisoners of marine and the sol
diers of the Algerian tirailleurs whowere held
captive in that city have recovered their free
dom.
The band of Dario Garza, one hundred and
fifty strong, has been routed, near Monte
morelos, by Lieutenant Tsabey, of the French
army, and lost forty men and all its horses.
The band of Cavaola was surprised, near Gar
cia, and beaten by Lieutenant GOlidein, com
manding- the counter-guerillas. Cavaola left
forty dead on the battle-field, several horses,
saddles, and caissons.
The Mexican General Quiroga, who has
shown himself a strong and faithful defender
of the Empire, has been entrusted by Colonel
Jeanningros, now in command of that divi
sion With the task of raising a contingent,
and 'of co-operating with the French in the
pacification of the country. The old fortiffea-
Done of Monterey have been replired, and new
ones are in progress. That city is suppOSed to
be in position to repulse all the attacks of its
enemies.
Letters from Tampico announce that the
mein road leading from the latter city to
Tampico is to be permanently watched by
French troops. It was said also that the main
forces of Juarez, under command of General
Mendez, amounted to about 1,000 men, who
were at the last date located hi the hacienda
of the ranocha, district of Escandon.
i Ac
cordingto the last account, Mendez had lost
an arra n his encounterwith the Imperialists.
The Senianario of Guanajuato records the
successes recently obtained in the department
of San Luis, by the French troops, upon the
forces of Eseobedo. Escobedo, it will be re
membered, had invaded the village of Santa
Marla dol. kio, with about four hundred men,
- when he was overtaken by a portion of De
Courcy 's column, and driven from the place.
The rural population of that district came to
the assistance of the French, and pursued the
invaders for several hours, taking and killing
a few of them. On that occasion a single plan
tation, the hacienda of Ojo Clego enlisted,
armed and equipped: forty men, and delivered
them to the French.
Gee, Douai has arrived at Queretaro, on his
way to San Luis Potosi. He was warmly welt
earned by the civil authorities of that city,
who hoped that he would soon succeed in
pacifying the whole of that region. General
Lamadrial was also the object of much atten-
Hoe. The latter goes to Tamaulipas, whose
command has been entrusted to his care,
MArAironos, August 31,1865.
The success met with by the force under
General Escobedo has encouraged the Liberal
Part tesh efforts. In arßt a Camargo
there y
is o now a good force of about 600 men,
among them being twenty-five to thirty officers
who have served in the United States or late
Confederate States armies. These will prove
good leaders in army operations that require
courage and skill. A second body of some 500
men is at Mier, twenty-one miles from Gamer
go, and at other points south of the pines are
bodies of 200 to 300 men. In all there is a force
of about 2,500 ready for the nest blow to be
struck at the enemy.
. In command is General Escobedo, with Gene
ral Espinosa, Colonel Canales,,ec., under him.
The Colonel is one of the bravest men lit the
army and is an unswerving patriot. In the
late fight Captain Canales, a brother of that
officer, was wounded in the thigh,

I may now state that the next Move to be
made will be down the Rio Grande to attack
this place, for it will be made before their in•
formation can reach the enemy. Ilya dashing
attack, a force of about two thousand men
could take this place for some of the troops
in it will not fight. I think, too, that the next
attack will be well led, for there are now some
gallant officers in command of the force under
General Escobedo.

twelve hundred men. They are posted in this

The law under which the great majority of
oil companies are organizedonalres it binding
upon the president, treasurer, and a majority
of the directors of such corporations, to de
!posit-annually, in this month (September),
with the recorder of deeds, in the county
where the company exists, a sworn statement,
signed by them, setting forth the amount of
capital stool: paid in, the names and number
of shares held by each stockholder, the amotiht
invested in real and personal estate the
amount of property owned, and debts due to
the company on the first day of August pre
ceding the date of these certificates, and the
amounts against the corporation at the date of
these certificates. For neglecting this duty,.
the officers shall be held jointly and severally
liable for such debts of the Corporation con
tracted during the continuance Of gueli viola
tion, refusal or neglect; but whenever the
terms of the law are observed, as proscribed,
their personal liability shall cease. And
further, the law holds the stockholders per
sonally liable for all wages due laborers and
operators, for services rendered within six
months before demand made upon the cor.
lioration, and its neglect or refusal to make
payment, thirty days after judgment is ob.
tamed against the eompany, and the writ re.
turned unsatisfied, the personal liable attaches
to each one of the stockholders according to
his proportionate share in it. Immediate at.
tention on the part of persons who are officers
of these eorporationsi and who aro cOngtil4litly
neglecting the provisions of the law, will save
trouble and expense.

The English crop reports are decidedly
unfavorable, and from present indications
Great Britain will have to buy largely in the
grain marts of the world. The unfavorable
weather has reversed the anticipations of a
large yield, and the harvest will be °yen IePS
than the average, unless there should be a
speedy change.
It may be a consolation to them, as it cer
tainly is to us, that We have a large surplus to
meet their deficiency. The stock on hand in
the warehouses and through the country was
large, and a bounteous wheat harvest has
added to the supply. The corn crop also pro
mises well. Tile Milwaukee Wl.Monhisi says!
It is now quite certain that the corn crop of
the Northwestern States will be larger than in
many years. It is truly a magnificent crop.
Most of it is already beyond the reach of frost,
end one week- more without frost will aecare
to Wisconsin and Minnesota such a crop as
will enable the farmers to fat more hogs than
ever before, and at the same time sell more of
their wheat, because they have such an abun
dance of cornmeal for home consumption.
daiiip and warm weather may have rotted
the potatoes to a certain extent. The crop,
however, is so enormously large that it is a
cheap sacrifice if half of them rot, in order to
obtain such a corn crop as our farmers are
now gathering.
The wealth and In7iltriance of the grass ex
ceed all belief. June never showed a helter
crop of grass than covers our fields in Septem
ber. The cattle are very fat and in good con
dition throughout the State, and we justly an
ticipate that our pgokers will put up a better
quality of beef than was over before seat from
this market.
