FROM MEXICO. Desperate Fighting at Puebla. San Fransisco. May 19.—The steamer Golden Age brings advices from the City of Mexico to the 2d of May, and from Puebia to the 30th ult, Gen. Ortega’s dispatch to Comontort states that, on the night of the 24th of April, the French expleded a mine in a block called Stem- Ino, occupied: by Mexican troops. A numberof Mexicans were buried in the roivs, but the Lalance resisted the French all night, fighting desperately. On the morning of the 29th, both parties were remforced and continued the fight with the greatest determination and ferocity, the Mexicans at its close holding their originil position. During the contest the French ex- ploded another mine in Santa Gesu. Auother fight ensued here, lasting seven hours, the Mexicans remaining masters of the field and capturing one hundred and thirty prisoners from the French Zouaves. The French lett tour hundred dead on the field. Since these fights the French have kept up the bombardment of the city, though Jess vigorcusly than before. ‘On the first of May President Juarez left the city of Mexico tor Comontort’s camp, near Puebla, for the pur- pose of urging immediate offensive operations against the French. San Francisco, May 20.—Gen. Ortega’s dis- FAatches to Gen. Comonfort, dated Puebla, 2eth April, thus eums up the military sitmation du- Ting the Jast month and ahali: The-French have made eight assaults, succeeding only in two. We lave Jost nothing save abandoned forts #pd our line of defences. For the lait thirty-one days we have 101 lest a foot of ground.

New York, May 2!.—The steamer Roanoke, trom Havai.aon the i¥th, has arrived, bringing Vera Cruz dates to May 1th, r ved at Ha- Vana by the French war steamer. She reports that no news hus been received from the army since April 27th. Tha! the siege of Puehlahad teen raised or suspended until the arrival of reinforcements and heavier guns, as it has been found impossible to penetrate the city with the artillery, and they being only 12- pounders, though rifled guns trom the vessels cf war in port have been sent ashore and are to g0to Puebla. Two ¢ liad arrived within two days’ journey, 2 others were on the road. The impossibility of entering Puebla consisted in barricades eighteen feet thick of earth and stones; and, in fact, the Mexicans had filled the houses of the first line of parapets with earth. The Mexicans again occupy Fort Xavier, which they are repairmg. Light skirmishes occurred daily with parties who came out to attack the French from the city. On the 2itha Jarge conyoy ct meat was captured by the Freuch, en route for Puebla. A ¥rench officer passed throngh Havana by the mail steamer Clyde, bound for France, whence he was to send a heavy seige train. A Vera Cruz letter says that nothing can be Gone until these guns arriye, which cannot be earlier than the ist of October. The English frigate Immortalite bronght news to Hxvana that the French had been de- feated at Pri and obliged to retire 15 miles io Orizaba, to staff had gone. A ietter froma person of high standing in Vera Cruz suys that the French haye been liged to raise the siege and retreat nine miles nd that itis understood they go into quarters t Orizaba, and there await reinforcements and heavy guns ‘trom France. A report sféys that a convoy cf $1,600,000 from Vera Crnz was captured by the Mexican guer- illas. Milliens of specie have been procured in Havana by the sale of dratis on the French Government, which will be sent to Vera Craz jor the wants of the French army. Advices trom Yueatan state that the rebels have been defeated, and that the towns of Mo- tul, Valandolix and tvamalia are again in the hands of the Government. Gen. Mearm had abandoned the town of Pa- lesades, Which was occupied ty the Mexican Ircops. The new. n Venezuela states thata truce ad been agreed upon tor the formation of a government, and including the cessation he dictatorship by Gen. Paez. A number of small blockade runners have arrived at yuna. Several schooners had sailed, probably to run the blockade. STILL LATER.

The Richinond £zaminer Of the 2ist inst has a leading editorial on the present condition of General Hooker's army, and the favorable op- portunity which ihe temporary weakening of that army, by the retirement of the regiments whose terms of service have expired, affords for the initiation of an aggressive movement on the part of the rebel armies. The Ezareiner say! “ir it will ever be possible to attempt any thing beyond the deiensive even, this woule sect: to be the time. Since the first battle of Manassas, the Southern army never had so evident an oppertnnity to gail a victory—a gtin which the Southern » which has so often repulsed the enem: sanguinary ef- fect, cannot be said to have made on any octa- sion or atany time. A victory signifies some- thing more than preventing the success of an attack. Progress, conquest, or some step to wards the conclusion of the war, is involved in the idea of a victory. With all our ¢lo- rious battles, we huve not yet recovered a single lost city, or delivered any subjugated State from the thrall of the invader. If we cen ever do such a thing, we must hope to do it shortly, for we thall never behold our foe so weak apain. Defensive operations are no doubt more facile and surer of success in kind While the Confederate army is what it now is the enemy will be bexten whenever he crosses the Rappahannock or ventures again on the James. ut defensive operations will never secure the acknowledgment of our indepen- dence or end the war. The Yankees will tight us for ferty years on the present terms. No pecple are more pertinccious.” The Richmond Sentinc? of the 19th urges that the Confederate government exercise caution in receiving those whom Lincoln may choose to “send Sovth,” and to sefuse to receive any who do not personally solicit it. NBWS FROM VICKSBURG THROUGH REBEL sOURCES, They Charge their Reverses upon Pember- ton—He Kefuses to Obey the Orders of Gen. Joe Johnson. {From Montgomery (eee Advertiser, May 3°.} The rumors ns to the fall of Jackson, Afiss., in circulation yesterday, were so vazue unceitain that we had well nigh despaired of hearing anything intelligible trom that quarter until the public mind should become somewhat composed and the ehannels of communication with that section be again opened. Late in the evening, however, we by chance were intro- duced toa highly intellizent gentieman of the army, Who gave Us some solution of atfxirs in that direction. Hisadyices from Jackson were derived from retugees who hadescaped and telegraphed from Brandon and other points. It appears from these accounts that the fight began at an early hour Thursday morning, some eight miles southwest of Jachson, and continued nearly all dag, our tro commended by Jehnsion end the enemy's by Grant. We were finally driven back to Jackson, and fought | them throngh the streets until overpowered by greatly superior numbers, and were compelled toevacuate the city, the enemy’s forces ainount- ing to about 20,040 or 30,000, and our own only to about “,000. General Johnston then retreated on Canton, twenty four miles due north of Jacksen, situated on thé wagon road connect- ing thence by Vaiden to the road running due east to the Yazoo river, and leading directly to Vicksburg, some seventy miles from Jackson by this route. When heard from yesterday morrii cavalry were at Brandon, on the’ twenty odd miles this side of Jackson, near which point we had a force to protect he road. This fact is official and may be relied on. Gen. Johnston had arrived at Jackson at 31 a. mn. Wednesday, and the fight commencing so carly the next morning, lefthim no time te reorganize and concentrate the forces, and he no doubt made a desperate resistance under great disadvantages. Jt is slated thei, some days before leaving Tennessee, Gen. Johns t Pemberion an order te somewhat chang k ‘orthwith set aside by the latter rections to so consequential a comma pon Gen. Johnston received. an ord * the last moment on Saturday to go to Missis- sippi and take command of the army. He lett the same Gay, and arriyed in unprecedented time, as belore stated— Wednesday morning. We are glad to learn that his complacent pre- decessor had so far anticipated the evacuation as to e the most important supplies and the archives and other articles of value removed. Our army has four months provisions at Vicksburg. We haye ample forcesim communication i Mississippi, under the masterly lead of John- ston, to meet and repel the invaders: butit may require some little time to put our forces in the proper position. PENNSYLVANIA AND THE RELEL Invasion. Pennsylvania papers are apprehepsive ot another Rebel raid into that State this snmmer; fearing that the desperate straits to which the rebels are put, will impel them to endeavor te secure supplies by araid upon therigh farmers. of the Keystone State. The Philadelphia In- quirer urges the necessity of immediate re- organizing the State militia, so as to make itet- fective. Itadvises that a camp be established and the militia be properly drilled and disci- plined, in order tobe prepared for any emer- gency. It is urged that the move will be one of great benefit, whether the emergency ever comes or not. The Inquirer says: “The question may again arise, as itdid last fall—Should such troops, provided for St defense, be required to go beyond the + line ? The amswer is obvious to every disinter- ested man. The State line isa mathematical line, drawn notfor defense, but for peaceful boundary. The true military frontier for de- tense may lie within or beyond it. Where the troops are to go, then, should be left to the judgment of judicious and experienced Com- manders, and not to the prejudiced opinion of each citizen soldier.” We Emigrant arrivals at New York are very large. Every emigrant ship bring» from three hundred to six hundred passengers, and Cas- ue Garden begins to wear the business aspect of betterdays. The reports that Ameriean offi- cers have been drumming up recruits in Ire- land or Germany are quite as much news to the emigrart as to the American Government and people. Of these strangers a great portion are bound to the West. wa The Mobile Advertiser, of the 15th, con- tains a card from Gen. Van Dorn’s Staff, which says that the General was shot in his own room by Dr. Peters, a citizen. He was shot in the back of the head while writing at his ta ble. There had ‘been a friendly conversation be- tween the parties scarcely fifteen minutes be- fore the unfortunate occurrence. Gen. Van Dorn had never seen the daughter of his mur- derer but once, and his acquaintance with Mrs. Peters was such isto convince his Staff offi- cers, who had every opportunity of knowing, that there was no r intimacy between them. They were lieve that there were other motives, from that Dr. Peters had taken the oath ot allegiance to the United States, while in Bashville, about two weeks ago.
