The Herald's Brownsville correspondent of December 17th states: Well informed people in Mexico think there are now not over 15,000 troops inthe country The Liberals had evac- uated Monterey, in consequence of the retarn of the French from Saltillo. No fight- ing has occurred. The Liberal army was en- camped at Camargo on the first of cember. Large assessments of money and goods were made upon the merchants and other citizens there. any of the Liberal troops were de- serting on account of the lack of clothing and other necessaries. Some further correspon- dence had occurred between’ Generals Weitzel and Mejia. Weitzel alleges that Mejia bas on mere suspicion imprisoned innocent American citizens, and informs him by direction of Gene- ral Sheridan, if such outrages are re- peated no apologies for them will not be ac- pone. and Mejia will not be permitted to com- Mitacts against the United States which are no accidents, and that the Government will not accept his personal apologies for bad faith. Mejia claims that the persons imprisoned were found in arms against the Imperial cause. The Imperial troops are reported to have robbed psd citizens of Saltillo, of large sums for forced joans. G. B. Lamar, Sr. G. B. Lamar, Jr., and Gen. H. W. Mercer are all to be tried in Charleston before a mili commission convened ex- promly for their trial. Captain Watrous will actas Judge Advocate. The trial of General Mercer will commence on the 18th proximo. He is charged with the murder me Union soldiers, who had, as thts ion reads, ‘been induced to enlist in the army of and had taken the oath to the so-called Confederate States to avoid starvation, brutal treatment, and to offer a better means of escape, on the as- surance that they should never be made to take up arms against Union soldiers, which assurance was violated on the first occasion.” A special despatch from Toronto says: An agentofour Post Office Department and the United States Consul in Toronto, Canada, have recently found in the vicinity of the custom house in that city ten thousand dollars worth of United States three cent letter stamps, of the consignment of which toa house there by a rebel agentin Liverpool, our Government r ceived information m August last. An in- junction on the stamps has been gotten up, and the question of their proprietorship is shortly to be argued beforea Canadian court. They are supposed to form one of the pirate Florida's captures. The Vicksburg Journal claims to have ad- vices, which it deems reliable, of an alarming character, from Yazoo. It is reported that tie people of the country are fiying to the towns for protection, and the negroes are represented as claiming that between now and Christmas, lands must be given to them or they will take them by force. The colored troops stationed inthe country are espousing the cause of the negroes and serious trouble is apprehended. There was an imposing military display in Boston on Friday on the occasion of the pre- sentation of about two hundred and fifty bat- tle flags of Massachusetis regiments to the Commonweaith. A procession, comprisin; about three thousand veterans, march through the principal streets, amidst much enthusiasm, to the State House, where the flags ‘were committed to the keeping of the Goy- ernor by General Conch, in an appropriate speech. ‘The Canadian papers state that on Mr. Mar- phy, President of the Canadian Fenians, put- ting im an appearance at Ottawa the other day, he was waited upon by a committee who recommended him to quit the city atonce. An Ottawa journal says he took the hint, and adds that otherwise he might have smelled brim- stone. Despatches have been received from the Governors of South and North Carolin, ac- knowledging the receipt of Mr. Seward’s des- patches restoring those States to the control of their newly elected Governors. Itis reported that Colonel O’Mahoney has received a ich from Centre Stephens calling for prompt and decisive ac- tion by the Fenians. The crisisis said to be near at hand. Gey. Scnunz’s Rerort.—The report of Gen. Carl Schurz on the condition of affairs in the South has been published. Speaking of the peculiar state of mind of the South, into which the surrender ot Lee had plunged it, he says :— ‘The public mind was so despondent that if readmission at some future time, under what- ever condition, had been promised, it would then haye been looked upon asa favor. The Most uncompromising rebels prepared for leaving the country. The masses remained in astate of fearful expectancy.” The firstrecon- struction proclamation broke the spell, substi- tuted hope for apprehension, and pre: d the South for the resumption of much of the old spint. As this spirit was develo) |, Ohe proc- lamation after another by the ident was made necessary, and week after week fresh conditions were demanded, to which the peo- ple have submitted, but unwillingly. Gen. Schurz finds four classes of persons in the South, nene of whom are entirely loyal, though one class is henestly endeavoring to accommo- date iteelf to the new order of things. Allof these classes, he says, are agreed that further resistance to the power of the National Goy- ernment is useless, and submission to its au- thority a matter of necessity. All movements. in favor of separation from the Union have, therefore, been ek abandoned, and re- sistance to our military forces, on that score, has ceased. The General thinks that this kind of loyalty, “produced by the irresistible pres- sure of forces,” is of a negative character.
