2 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1855 INTERESTING FROM CENTRAL AMERICA, Address to the Nicaraguan Clergy—The Do- cuments Found after Cal. Walker, etc. ‘We have received files of the Boldin Ofcial of San Jose, Gosta Rica, up to July 22, Several officers, chiefs of the democratic party of Nica- agua, bad arrived in that city, banished by order of the government; among them Madregil and Mendes. A num- Der of fugitives from Nicaragua had also arrived in Costa Rica, surrendered their arms, and placed themselves an- @er the safeguard of the government of that republic. The Territory of Costa Rica had been invaded by the government troops of Grenada, and several refugees who had fied there were atrested and imprisoned. The Costa Rica government threatened to adopt measures to avenge this infraction of its national rights. ‘The Spanish Charge d’Affaires, Mr. Goni, was enter- ‘taimed by a banquet in San Jose on the eve of his depar- ture for Guatemala, We have also received a number of the Bolin Oficial of Nicaragua, printed at Grenada, July 14. It contains ‘am editorial under the caption of ‘‘ Walker, Kinney and the provisional chief, Castellon.”’ It declares that the @atholic race which that triumvirate sought to humiliate and enslave, is to-day dominant in that part of the new world; that they and their foreign usurpers, the enemies ef the Spanish American race, and religion, Nberty and Amdependence, had been scattered by the forces of the government. The article proceeds: — Will the good sons of Nicaragua bo indifferent to such black treason? Will the other governments of the Cen- tra} America fraternity look coolly upon so imminent a peril? Will they not unite their forces to those of the Yegitimate government of Nicaragua to repel foreign in- ‘Wasion, and to extinguish the domestic enemies who have the door? The invaders who have worsted them and who facilitate in every way the success of their prac- tical enterprize? * * * The government recognizes Phat the risk is imminent and great, that to conjure it more successfully the governments and peoples of Central America should unite their efforts, and under that convic- tion it has made known the treasonable movement of the provisional chief, Castellon, and of the infamous govern- ment of General Cabanas. The adventurer Kinney, accused and prosecuted as a violater of the lows of neutrality be- fore the courts of the United States, by the indefatigable Nicaraguan minister to Washington, Don Jose de la Mar- <oleta and by the Accessory ‘Transit Company, fled secret- Jy from that territory with nineteen other filibusteros, with the view of penetrationg into this republic; and at their departure they published the manifesto which we translate. The whole of it ix a web of fictions and fala hoods, of hypocrisy and deceit, but the followidg ideas most deserve attention. “'The best answer to the accusation of our enemies will ‘ve our future deeds in the country of our adoptionl. —* > . And if, in the fullness of time, there should oc- eur political changes—and if, where anarchy now reigns, ‘there should come to be established a responsible, per- manent, and respectable government—if the unfortunate wars which now desolate the land should give place to peaceful occupations— ° * — thenwe shall hear J ent pronounced on our enterprise.’? ‘these words reveal that the sentiment of Kinney and Die followers is, that they themselves are to make the e which at present they hypocritically leave to the action of time, and they announce their views of ruling in bails pool and in all Central America; but we trust in the God of nations, whose name they impiously take upon ‘their lips, that their attempt shail not be realised, and that the Nicaragua people will beable to teach them that they are worthy of being independent, ‘The government hasalso senta circular, of which the following is a translation, to the clergy of the country:— RErvs1ie oF NicaRaGua, OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF StaTF, } ti Govensomsy House, Grenada, July 14, 1855, ‘The retinue of rebels against tho laws and the legit mate authority of Nicaragua have called to their aid eovetous foreigners, offering them for booty the land of ‘the country.

There is but veryflittle sickness here now, but itis ravaging fearful- ly at Messaya and Managua. The government forces have been ordered back to Granada, as they cannot be taken care of at Managua, for the people are so afraid of the cholera that most of them fled, and there is nobody left to take care of the sick or do the necessary work. At Nagarrote, Pueblo, Nuevo, and Leon, it is also very fatal, which may prevent the revolutionists from taking the advantage, by taking Managua. Gen. Guardiola has his army in good order, and is expected to attack Chinandego on the Ist of August, He has about 800 good soldiers with him. A few days ago Manuel Garcia Tejada was brought in here prisoner, as he was taken, arms in hand, by the government forces, belonging to Col. Walker’s party, and acting as interpreter. He is quite a young man, and was taken prisoner some time ago by the revo- lutionists, and afterwards joined them. ‘The probability is he will’ not be shot, but ‘kept prisoner till the revolu- tion is ended, and then banished the State. Col. Walker, it is sald, intends to return to California, He shot a man by the name of Dewey, who fired the Quar- tel in San Juan del Sud. Col. Kinney is «till at San Jaan del Norte, awaiting re- inforcements; and at Castillo the company has fifty sol- diers, sent out from New York, to prevent him from com- ing up the river. ‘The Transit route is in splendid order, the country where it passes through perfectly healthy, ‘ind no deten- tion whatever. of More ts. [Correspondence of the Post.] San JUAN DEL Nonrs, Nicanacivs, July 28, 1855. Weighing anchor from Port Royal, Jamaica, on the morning of the 13th of July, the Huntress, with the Kin- ney emigrants, touched San Juan, their destination, on the afternoon of the 16th, a very fair run over the Carib- bean. The long, low shore, with perhaps a hundred yolm thatched buildings, set off by the dense tropical forest in the back ground, and the warehouses of the ‘Transit Company on Punta Arenas, corresponded exactly with the familiar prints of San Juan, in whose noble har- bor we were anchored. Three or four ships were also lying at the same time in the harbor, the most formid- able of which was the black hulk of the British man-of- reported, had been stationed Our object, therefore, was to get ashore without any one’s knowl nd even the pilot, who turned out to be a very zealous friend of the Colonel’s—was not apprised of his name. Before we dropped anchor a boat came alongside, containing a few gentlemen from the interior of Nicaragua, who informed us that some fifty men had antived in the Star of the West the night before, fully armed, to oppose Colonel’ Kinney, nominally hirea by Nicaraguan government, but, in re- ity, a was wappoved: by the ‘Transit Company. 'y were mostly French, German and Italian refu- gees, picked up in the streets of New York on promise of jen dollars. a month, and a house lot in Nicaragua for cach, and, it was said, were now standing ready to fire at the I'mma, if she should come near enough to Point Are- tus, wheré they were stationed. Such was the report—at any rate it indicated one advantage, for which we had resison to be thankful, from the wreek of the vessel in which we had sailed from New York. After the colonel had been safely carried ashore, we were boarded by the master of the war steamer, who took the number of our passengers, inquired whence we came, and whither we were bound, &e., to all of which ho re- ceived satisfactory replies.’ But when he inquired for the whereabouts ‘of Kinney, he was told that we suipposed he must be in Greytown, as his veasel was re- ported to have miled on the 6th of June, and doubtlees ¢ (tbe roaster) had heard later news of him than we had. ‘The master then returned to his steamer, appa- rently well pleased with the courtesies he had received, as well as with the files of Jamaica and Turk’s Island pa- pers which I furnished him, but from which care was tuken to omit the very complimentary notices with which the colonel’s arrivals had been recorded by them. He, however, embraced the occasion to tell us of the late de: fent of Walker and his men in the interior, with who bo entertained the belief, the Kinney expedition was ia some way connected. Mr. John 1, Nelson, United States Consul at Tark’s . who with bis family and two Tark’s Islanders Jaccompanied us in the Huntress, then went ashore the bulk of the-passengers, all of whom, with their bocgage, wore safely ensconced by the following day in udependent little municipality of Greytown, alias Sam Juan del Norte, Arrival of Colonel Kimncy at Nicaragua.

One Would have ght, from the demonstrations of the crowd, that © celebrating Washington’s birthday or the It 5 rth,’ so general wa so happened that at the time several important func were in town: Don Ramon , agent for the Nica- raguan government st Greytown; his father, Don Precio Rivas, commandant of the Nicaraguan forees on the Sera- Past! river; Don Pedro Poris, the commandant of Costa ica, at the head of the Serapaqui; Capt. W. H. Dobbie, of the British man-of-w: Green, British Consul-t resides im Blewtield: allof these gentlemen, Captain Benjamin Mooney, formerly of New York, and a staunch friend of the Colonel's, introduced him at once, and the resulta of that first interview have told favorably upon our affairs ever sine. Mr. Mason, also, the American Vice-Conaul here, soon called, and has since shown a cordial disposition to befriend hia fellow countrymen who have arrived. The next day, however, the Colonel was waited upon by Consul-General Green ‘and Captain Dobbie, who, in consequence of some stories which had been told them by an enemy, to his disadvantage, desired from hii an in- terview, in order to. have a tuil account of the purpose, plans and history of his expedition. With this request Col. Kinney cheerfully complied, and at the house of Mr. Geddes, the British Consul at Greytown, in presence of the above mentioned gentlemen, together with Consuls Nelaon and Mason and mygelf, gave at length the desired information, tracing the opposition which his enterprise had encountered to the agents of the Transit Company— enemies alike of Nicaragua and bimself—and charging the decree which that government had been {nveizied into promulgating for his exclusion, solely to the mixre- presentations of interested parties. His object, he said, was the peaceful colonization of certain ba in Nicaragua, to which he believed he had @ volid title; if the validity of that title should be dis- proved, he would abandon it, although he bad expended thousands of dollars on the supposition of his lawful ownership. In regard to the rumor that the British man-of-war and the troops at Point Arenas had been sta- tioned to prevent his landing, he was prepared, with due respect, to xay that he should allow his right of settling peaceably in Greytown, with the assent of its inhabitants, to be called in question by no on earth, Such, vo far as L can recall it, was the substance of the Colonel's remarks, which apparently proved satisfactory ‘o his interrogators. At the conclusion, the conversa- ion became quite general, and Capt. Dobbie and the Colonel, for an hour or two, recounted the various inci- dents of their naval and military experiences in a inanner that showed a more friendly understanding than could have been expected from a meeting of official inquiry. After partaking of the hospitality of the British Consul, he interview ended by the acceptance on the part of the Colonel of an invitation to pay an early visit of inspection on board the Captain’s man-of-war, the Buzzard. On the morning of the 17th, the regiment of hirelings brought out by the Transit Compa t ite warehouses at Point Arenas for Castillo, a Nicaraguan fort island of that name, about half way up the San river from Greytown to Lake Nicaragua.

On thelr passage on the morning they sailed Io a { the company’s past Capt. Mooney’s Wharf, os they saw Col. Kinney standing, they raised « shout of derision, and then, as if language failed to ex. Press their toclings, or rather the feel of their em- ployers, indulged in a variety of contortions which gave # truly comical effect to their unwashed visages. According to the testimony of the officers and ethers, these reeruits had been taken stealthily from York, and while out at sea had donned their military uniform, The impoverished condition of the Nicara- guan treasury, and subseqnent information of a re- Hable nature, render it certain that, not only had they received a free passage from’ the company, but that they were to be paid from money furnished yi ‘The company have doubtless agreed to some their long standing arrearages of debt to the go vernment, on condition that these soldiers should be epiployed fp euppress the Kinney expedition.

Kinney himself is now ing at Captain Mooney’s, but most of his followers have taken up their abode in the house formerly occupied by the American Consul—one of the few dwel spared. by the destruc- tive lucifer matches of Captain Hollins. “It fronts the waters of the bay, which are within a few feet of it, and for the half mile between Captain Mooney’s and it, ax indeed all over the town, one walks by the brick and stone ruins, the foundations of former houses. ‘The grass, now partially grown, conceals them, but enough remains to reeall the memory of the shameful transaction which caused this scene of desolation. ‘Thus far the expeditionists have so conducted them- selves as to guin the good will and respect of all classes in the community, having shown a disposition not to swag- ger or talk large of filibustering or conquering the govern- tent, but to enter into respectable employments, and, ax they belong to quite a variety of vocations, each one has without difficulty found his place. For the last day or two, however, they have been very busy stripping ® wrecked vessel, which has been pureh: by Mr. Alex- ander Wood, in this place. This vessel (the brig Hamlet), which was driven ashoreon the 17th, witha large amount of coal, tar and turpentine, has already turned out not a little epeeulation for them, not to speak of its effect in impressing the people with @ notion of their willingness amd capacity for hard work. Since we “have been here a ber or ball has been the Colonel’s arrival. given hy the inhabitants in honor of it was held in one of the best houses in town—a house which bas two stories, and instead of being thatched with alm, ie shingled, The room may lave been thirty feet square, unpainted, the beams entirely visible, so far as the candles would allow, and with « small bar for refresh- ments in the corner. Of course, Col. Cinney and his men all went, and it was a scene worth looking at. ‘The gallant Colonel—the handsomest man in the room, by all odds—led forth the lady of the mansion, with even more than his ordinary sauvity and grace, to take part in the first quadrille, Young Daniel Webster, with his partner, and others with partners of various shades and nations, black, brown, and white, English, American, French, Spanish, &c., also figured. ’ All around the room and outside of the house, peering through the windows, which, by the way, have no sashes or window-panes, were all sorts, colors and conditions of men and women, in costumes equally diversified, The dancing began and was kept up vigorously till a late hour. — Everybody appeared to be acquainted with every other body, and to have a good time. Were it not invidious, I might, perhaps, celebrate the loits of the heroes and heroines of the evening. The Colonel, for example, was evidently in the spirit of the oceasion, and danced’ to the admiration of all; still it is ossible that his fine, commanding figure and handsome ce might have something to do in producing the effect; and, after all, (if Limay be excused for violating my rule of not mentioning names,) it really seems to me that the elaborate double shuffle and. splendidly cut pigeon’s wings of our excellent friend, the captain of our wrecked schooner Fmma, distanced’ all competition. Indeed, when he was in the midst of some of his unrivalled efforts of salatory agitty, the universal clap of hands and re. peated “Hi'y?'s” of the out-of-door spectators, testified to the surprise and pleasure with which they witnessed such astonishing demonstrations. ‘Among the first exploits attempted by the Colonel since his arrival is the building of « house for his private commodation, It is now within a week of its completion, ond will, when finished, be the handsomest dwelling town, which, I regret to say, in the condition which the bombardment has left it, is not saying much. It Will nevertheless, be a very goodlooking wooden building, of two stories, with ample accommodation for a dozen or more inmates, After the house is finished, arrangements are made for excursions into the Coloncl’s lands in the interior, to which, notwithstanding the stories to the contrary, cir- culated in the United States, I venture to predict’ there Will be no serious interruption. In regurd to the negotiations with the government and with distinguished gentlemen of Nicaragua and Costa Ri- ca, on which I found this prediction, it is not advisable for me at present to write—but you shall be informed at the earliest time which may be expedient. The resources of the country, however, I ata convinced are fully equal to the most extravagant representations that have been made of them, and no one who has een, a4 T have secon, the success and opulence which planters from the United States have obtained here, simply by bringing with them the industry and business habits of their native land, can doult its avallability asa field for emigration.

TO THE FDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. I am induced, by your article of the 2ixt inst., on the crops, prices, &e., und by other articles of the same sort, going’ the rounds of the press, and which I deem of the moet mischievous tendency, not only to the agricultural interests, but to the whole country, to write this subject. You may remember that in reply circular of last year, I addressed you a letter, in w endeavored to show, by facts and well established princi- les of political economy, that the general estimate of ture prices at that time prevailing waa entirely un- founded. 1 predicted that prices would rise greatly and Permanently, and closed the letter with the following caution to the pross:—‘‘In conclusion, I have but a wor to say—if the efforts of the press to lower prices, now 40 general, should prove successful, and large quantities of corn and other breadstuffs be exported to foreign coun- tries, we may yet rue our folly when the pressing neces- ritien of our own countrymen shall demand supplies, which can be had neither at home nor abroad.” You will do me the justice to say that my predictions were literally fulfilled, and that the country would have been better off if ny caution had been heeded. ; I beg leave to call your attention again to the princi- ples embraced in that letter. They are not new, though, unfortunately, they are not familiar to the general mind, yet they are worthy of the profound consideration of the press and of the country. You estimate the wheat crop just reaped at one hun- dred andxixty-cight and a halfmillions of bushels, against one hundred millions of bushels, the crop of 1849, as re- ported by the census; and the average price of this year at$1 25a bushel. Now, itis obvious that these esti- mates must be merely conjectural. The crop has not been threshed or measured in any one State or neighbor- hood, and all that is known in Tegard to it is that the grain is of good quality, and that the pleld from the wtraw is Ratisfactory. That the quantity produced is, in many sections, less than usual, is certain, and we shall have great reason to congratulate ourselves if the crop should Prove an average one, That the crops in an agricultural country should keep pace with the population in its na- tural increase would seem to be almost a matter of course, though, so far as the wheat crop is concerned, it is be- lieved not to be the ease in our country. The wheat pro- ducing zone in this country ix almost ‘a4 limited as that of cotton, and in some of the principal wheat producing States the population ia rapidly increasing in cities and towns, where wheat is consumed, and diminishing in the country, where itis produced. I ineline to the opi- nion, therefore, that the estimate of the Cincinnati Price Current, of one hundred ond fourteen millions of bushels, isa much nearer approximation to the truth than your estimate, although it falls below the ration of the in- crease of population. 3 e the census of your own State just completed, and you will finjsthis opinion fully justified. ‘he city of New York haf a population of over three quarters of a million. Think of a standing army of seven hundred and fifty thousand consumers, to say nothing of the vast number of non-producers in your other cities and towns! Ihave before me a table show- ing the quantity of wheat and flour arriving at tide water through the New York canals during the last season, being (with the wheat turned into flour) equal to 1,964- 218 barrele—which, allowing 2 quarter of wheat to each inhabitaht (the English estimate) would be little more thon sufficient for twice the population of the city— and this embraced the larger part of the surplus crop, of the State of New York and of the great West. The consumption of wheat in our country has increased im- mensely. It has become the bread of the masses. For three years of my boyhood, when at school in New Jersey, Ido not remember to have seen wheat bread Rye was the only bread that was used, by the boys at least. Now, it would excite a rebellion. And I well remember waen in most Southern families wheat bread was only an occasional luxury; now it is consumed universally by the whites, and to’a considerable extent by the negroes. Strange as it may reem, I think it not improbable that the surplus of wheat and flour for exportation will be found in future to decrease with the increase of population. The effective demand for home consumption is rapidly increas- ing with the rise of wages and the fall of money. It is obvious that a laborer getting $1 50 a day can better af- ford 10 cents for his daily brend than he could 5 cents if his wages were 75 cents. Clothing and moat of the other necessaries and comforts of life are cheapened by contin- ual improvements in machinery, and the extensive use of steain power, so that the fall in the value of money is, in regard to most of the necessaries of life, counteracted, leaving the ability of the laborer to consume wheat bread and meat, though at higher prices, much greater than it was before this rise of wages and fall of money. The earth has never produced, and probably never will pro- duce, half enough wheat for all its inhabitants, and the demand daily becoming more effective, is continually increasing ‘throughout the world. | Even in our own country, conceding that the crop is one hundred and twenty millions of bushels over and above seed, which is a most liberal estimate, we should have less than five bushels to each inhabitant, if we were not to export a bushel. But for indian corn and wheat grown by slave labor, we should be more Hable to famine here thanin the old countries of Europe. In the non-alaveholding States, there is no class of agricultural laborers, no cottagers, ot serfs adseripti glee. AU ore striving 'to elevate their eondition; the laborer of to-day becomes a propfietor to- morrow, and where all think they may live by their wite, few are willing to labor with thefr hand, ficulty of procuring a continuous supply of lubor has ren; dered farming in the West an exceedingly irksome and. precarions business. Agriculture in this country, can only be successfully proveonted on the patriarchal system, either by slave labor or by families of whites. There can be ne greater delusion than to suppose it possible for the existing agricultural population materially to increase the production of wheat by extending the surface under cul- tivation. It is one of those errors so extensively prevailing thatit deserves to be included in a new edition of Ben- tham’s “Book of Fallacies”? Every practical farmer will, t Hyou that we enltivate in this country too much land and that we would make more ifwe cultivated less with the same force. The truth ix, the farmers, for years, have been under a continual strain to produce as tuch as possible, and the effort is already overdone, and n rise of prices without bringing more labor and capital into the business, can permanently increase the crops. A farmer may ‘rip the goose that lays the golden ez," and by breaking 1p his rotation and cultivating all the richest spots of his farm, increase bix crop for one year; but his futnre loss will be greater than his present gai Our farmers are now too enlightened to adopt this suici- dal policy. If making wheat was so much more profitable than other occupations, do you not suppose that more capital and labor would at once be devoted to ity What indications have we that such is the fact ¥ The census of New York demonstrates the reverse; #0, I have no doubt, would that of Pennsylvania and probably that of Ohio i now taken. It is true that in Virginia and other slavo- holding grain producing States, emigration has ceased, nd the natural increase of the population is devoted prinelperty to producing grain; and here proprietors who inherited their property or purchased it years ago, are realizing large profits on their capitals, as formerly esti- mated. “But let any one start a new enterprise, purchas- ing land, slaves, mules, &c., at present prices, and he will soon Gnd that at less than two dollars a bushel for wheat he cannot realize the ordinary rate of profit on his capital and labor. o dollars a bushel for wheat in the present state of the world is a very low price, and notwithstading your prediction, I entertain no doubt that the average price of Wheat in New York will be from this time to the next harvest over $2 bushel, and very probably over $2 60. Please take a note of this, and test it by the result. _. This opinion is not expressed rashly ‘or at random, but is founded on a deliberate consideration of all the eircum stances of the case. To some of these circumstances T have alluded in this paper. I proceed to notice more particularly others, of which mention was made in my former letter. Ist. The increase in the cost of production, or, in other words, the fall in the value of money. ‘This subject is Tery clearly illustrated in MeCullock’s Political Eeonomy, to ‘which T beg lave to refer you. He asks why is s pound of gold worth fifteen times as much as pound of Hilver ? and answers, because it takes about fifteen times ax mouch labor to get a pound of gold av one of silver: but ifa new gold mine were discovered from which a pound of gold could be procured with as little labor as is now a pound of silver, in a short, tine gold would be worth no more than’ silver, ‘This state of things seemod about to be realized by the discovery of the mines of California and Australia, so that Congress had to debase our silver coins to keep them in the country. The silver mines are now yielding +o largely as probably to restore, in a short time, the equilibrium between the metals, which tends still urther to disturb other exchangeable values. The precise amount of the depreciation of the ious metals since the opening of the gold mines of Iifornia and Aurtralia, {t difficult to extimate; but that it has been very great, none can doubt, and is pro- bably little short of one half the estimated values of those metals. It is a matter of history, that at the end ofa century from the discovery of the Spanish mines in Awerlca, prices hed advanced permanently four hun- dred per cont—or, in other the precious metals had declined in value to that extent. [auch was the effect of those mines, so Lag awl unimportant, what must be the effect, at no distant day, of the mine? of the precious metals now in operation in the world? Even in Adam Smith’s time, so great had been the fall of money, that the question was gravely discussed wheth- er soma’ other measure of value than the precious metals should not be adopted. At that time the annual product of the mines of the world was estimated at ten millions of pounds sterling (vide Edinburg, Encyclopedia, art. Bon} now the annual product is estimated at two hondred millions of dollars, and making the most liberal allowance for what {* consumed in the arts, we havo much more than a hundred millions of dollars’ added to tie coin of the world annually. Besiles this, money fa- cilities are wonderfully inereased by banks and bills of exchange, railroads, xpresses, telegraphs, &c. What is to he the permanently progressive effect of all these agenctea on prices, time only can determine. The most enperficial must be sati«fied that this effect will be very great. au Hence the dif- 20% Visppaslug Ubi as & question Invelving desire Jand had susper ah alk te tnd dest yearn of te eren and in the two of the series, Pewheat was 110 shillings and five penoe and 11 lings and eleven pence respectively, and in 1812 was as high an 122 shillings and eight pence a quarter, The war int Europe. wast ofl Te ‘of the high prices, for, notes did uring that period, though the crope, were occasionally short, they were frequently good.

The course of the prest, if it have any effect at all, must produce nothing but mixchief to every interest in our country. Consumers in the elties cannot be perma- nently benefitted.

An Alarm at Monterey—A Revolutionary Countermarch— General Woll’s March from Reynosc—His Arrival at Matemoroe—His Threate—Mililary Ezecution:—Barba- rity to a Woman—River Trade with Mexico—Lull in Politics. ‘The rumor go adroitly circulated by Santa Anna’s agents in Monterey, that Generals Tavera and Guitian were rapidly advancing on that place from San Luis Potosi, at the head 1,200 infantry and 800 cavalry, in- duced the inbabitants to send expresses to Governor Vidaurri, assuring him that the placo would be captured unless he returned to defend it, ‘The consequence was that, leaving Garza, his second in command, with 500 mounted riflemen, to watch Woll and harrass him if he moved out of Reynosa, he counter. marched on Monterey on the 12th, and arrived there on the 16th—finding the place occupied by some 900 and odd men of his own party, who had rushed into it from the surrounding towns and villages in order to defend it against the supposed enemy. The alarm turned out to be a false one, as what had really happened was that, Cruz, the ex-Governor of Coahuila, had returned to Sal- tillo with 150 cavalry, and immediate measures were taken to detach a force against him, and again drive him beyong the mountains. Guitian was at Vanegas, 150 leagues beyond Saltillo, with 800 mounted recruits that had been pressed into the service, and who wore daily deserting; and finally, Governor Vidaurri was at Cerralvo on the night of the 20th, on his way down to reinforce Garza with 1,000 men. On the 20th General Woll—notwithstanding his inso- lent bragging when he left Matamoros, that he would drown the revolution in blood—took up the line of march from Reynosa, (notas you may suppose, to Sight his enemy, who with inferior numbers and without artillery was ingight,) but to retreat on Matamoros—where he arrived on the 20d, after being harrassed every inch of the road by his persevering antagonist. On the very day he left Reynosa he gratified his murderous instincts by having a poor fellow shot. whom he accused of being a spy. The moment Garza was informed of this atrocious act, he retaliated by executing a sergeant and a corporal ofthe enemy's foreca who were then in hi hands. Thus ‘ou ace thai the Cerralvo decree was not a mere threat, But is being executed with a vengeance. Governor Garza’s forces, after being ‘reinforced by de- tachments from Ciudad Victoria, now numbers some 800 men, principally well mounted cavalry, but as yet with- outartillery, and as I write, they occupy positions within eight and ten miles of Matamoros. Woll has said that a5 soon a8 his troops recover frou the march down from Reynosa, he will turn out and at- tack them; but this is doubted, ag it is now ascertained that he is neither a soldier nor'a brave man individually. He might well do it if he were a man of courage, as he now bas in Matamoror some thirteen or fourteen hun- dred men, and 12 pieces of artillery. Nous verrons. ‘A most cruel act was perpetrated in Matamoros the other day, on the person of a respectable female, for the alleged crime of having earried.a letter to one of Woll’s officers from one of the revolutionary party. She was unaware of its contente; and the hapless woman, after being confined in the common jail, was tuken out into the public equare and her hair shorn off by one of the ne in the chain gang. She was then mounted on x mule and sent to the mouth of the river, thence to go to Vera Cruz. The unhappy creature had suffered more than a woinan’s feelings could bear, and on the very day the left died some fifticn miles from the city. This hor- rible deed was committed by order of General Castro, who had been left in command at Matamoros. ‘As the federalists refused to appoint Carvajal to be the second in command, he has quarrelied with them and re- tired with disgust to his farm on. this side of the river, where he now is quicily enjoying the sweets of private life. ‘The Mexican despot, as a reward to distinguished merit, has ordered, as Tira told, three medal to be struck and presented to hie three Generals—Woll, in Tamauli- pas; Cardona, a late Governor of Nuevo Leon, and Cruz, éx-Governor of Coahuila.
