Onw of the Greens on the State of Parties. Paapsirut, Juce 17, 1955. ‘Pe Jauss Gonpon Bawnsrr, Fsq., Eprron Henaup. Deax Sm--You used to have a correspondent who was ® cousin of mine. I don’t know what the Old Nick bas beoome of him, unless his unfortanate connection with Frank Pierce has used him up, which is more tian likely. However, that is neither Deve nor there, as the thimble rigger once said. To proceed: Ihave been in this town near on to ten days. Tome here to buy dry gcods for a store I happen to own at Duck River, in Arkansas, I am Yankee born, but got my principal growth out yon- der. I buy my dry goods here, because New York hes got te be such a rowdy sort of a pisos, eternal- Wy in a mues, that I don’t like it. Here I om at home, and upon ordinary occasions I comprehend the roper; but this time I was quite pnt ont of my seckoning. I chanced to arrive while the Kuow Nothing chaps were holding their grand pational pow-wow, and sticking it on thick that ‘Americans shall rule America,” 1 wonier what the Canadians, and Nova Scotians, and Cubans, and M:xicans say to that; for, according to my way of thinking, they are as much Americans as we “United States-ians,” or, to speak in detail, Pevnsylvanians, Virginians, G@aroliniaue, Missourians, Texians, and ali the other Brace-iane. A.bert Pike, of my State, was one of the dele- gates to their Council; and thongh I usaaily hang out at the Franklin Huse, yet this trig, to oblige Pike, I went to the Girard Houge, where mst of the Know Nothings put up, and where the big Ameri- can chiefs bad suites of rooms. The Girard House was such &@ monstrous, immense conc:rn, that I went to work to fi'd out who had capits! enough to imveat in such 9 pile, and I found out that it was teusteed property, in the name of a Mr. Edwards, a geod Roman Catholic, who holds for the Convent of Monks, called the Benedictines, thirty or forty fel- Jows, who fatten in Philadelphia. Says I to Pike, when I found this out, ‘‘ Old hoss, what the dickens is in you chaps, that are n—lI on foreigners and Roman Catholics, to spend your money on your worst enemies ?” “ Jo. Green,” said he, ‘‘ always take the bull by the horns.” In this case,” said I, ‘ it’s @ papal bull.” “ Good,” said Albert; ‘ if you was Irish, it would be an Iriah bull.” Neither spoke after that, and I caved. My. B., I flatter myself taat I am “ rayther’ American in my sentiments and feelings, and my patriotism got the better of my trading proponsi- ‘thes, so I cut dry goods for the time, and went at politics. Of course I was an cutsider, but my friend MM. Pike introduced me to most of the big dogs belonging to the Supreme National Conneil, and I was enabled to pick up the titbits of conversation ‘that ceourred around the mansion of the Benedic: tine monks. Ove chap used t> make it a point to tell me every morning after breakfast, what was dono the day before. At first it was all aboat platforms, “Nothirig will be done until we get the platform,” said every body arcavd, “When you get # piatform, what are you going to @o next?” I asked. “Oh, then we will meet again and nominate a eonple of men to stax lpr on “Have you fixed up “Ob, yes,” eaid a delegate; “ we have pretty we who will be the man, bat we want to = mn on the square.

The Matamoras Revolutionists—General Woll— Surrender of General Cardona at Monterey— Capture of the City by the Insurgents—Their March on Saitiilo—The Rebellion and its Pro- gramme—Decline of Sarta Anna’s Power--The Crops—Navigation of the Rio Grande. ‘The auceesses of the revolutionary party in Nueva Leon continue to keep up the spirits of the friends of freedom and the partizans of eqnal rights. Santa Anna’s Lieutenant in Matamoras, Woll, iagu- lently qualifies them as “‘banditti,” and most terribly will he be called to account for the many acts oom: mitted by t! is renegade forsigner. The government forces in Monterey, commanded by their Governor and Commanding General, Car- dona, after reaistir g come ten houte, surrendered the place, and were all taken prisoners of war. Among the wounded very bad!y waa the Goneral’s second in command, Colonel Morlet, who made a desperate resistacce. The loss on either side was not very coraiderable. The military command of the revolutionary forces was, immediately after the captare of Monterey, as- sumed by General Don Antonio Maria Jaarogin,wao, ugder Arista’s adioin stration, was the commanding general of Nuevo Leon. He is a soldier by profes sion, and noted tor hia eamity to Santa Anna asa man andaruler. He immediately pnt himself en route for Saitillo, at toe head of four hundred men, and tbat place bas doub;less by this time falicn iato their hance. The whole of Coahuila is ropreseated a8 beivg in open rebeliion, aud not even government sycophants believe that the tyrant will subdue the movement now fairly initiated against him. T have seen the programme of the revolution as published st Mon*erey, and I notice the s‘goatures of every man in that city whose wealth, talent and high on position are well known to the whole country. An express from Vic‘oria, formerly the capital of the adjoining department of famauliges, was received last Wednesday by Woll, in Matamoras, communicating the unwelcome news cf the revolé of the govern: ment forces there stationed, who adherea to tne Monteey movement, and imuediately put them- selves on the mach for that city. A detachment of tre revolutioniets attacked the tyrant’s forces in Guerrero, on the Rio Grande, and caivirg them from tras place, compelied them to join their fellow minions in Camargo, where all the despov’s forces are being concentrated to keen the lice of commun:cation open witn Matamoras, which is their headquarters. On the 28th ultims Woll formally deslared Mata mores and the w'ole of Tamaulipas ina state of tlege, as aleo that from and after the ist of tois aot x4 persors sone a cit} al ae pro- ied with a pasa ‘om the Mexican Co end on pas there “ tc Reames See ee ~ ? their object, in visiting that of nd liberty!” This tégiation is now rigorously enforoed; ‘and is one of the meny paternal measures taken by the heroic Santa Appa aod his birelings fo: preserving the righta and liberties of hia reslm. Thig arch traitor to Mexico’s deares: in- téréa!s will make as much ag he san without delay, for his days of power are numbered indeed. So at least ag Northern Mexico is concerned, you may well venture the prophesy that he will never again have full sway there. We are hourly looking for inte:eating news from the upper country, and all now on the line have reason to aan achange for the better. The revolutionists moke an immediate effort to open Custom House on the river above, and this alone will restore life and commercial activity on the whole line below. We have no news o? a local nature, and the late showers will secure most of the crops on the river. The Rio Grande is in fine navigable order, and [ now and then kill time by musing on the romaatic berks of the Rio Bravo. Additions! from China. ‘OUR VICTORIA CORRESPONDENCR.

You wll confer a favot on me by giving space in your columns to thia notice, showiog how far and in what manuer American Guthorities are ready to protect American property.
