JACOB VANDERPOEL. The Tammany County Convention. @OVERNOR THE HERRICK AND M’SPEDON FIGHT— A BIT OF A QUARREL BETWEEN EX-CITY INSPEC- ‘TOR DOWNING, BILL REYNOLDS AND HERRICK— ALMOST A ROUGH AND TUMBLE, ETC., ETO. Pursuant to announcement, the Tammany Hall County onvention convened last evening to select the most “tit ‘and desertieas” person to dispense the important duties devolving upon a Governor of the Almshouse. Long before the hour for assembling the barroom, halls and stairs leading to the convention room, were literally crammed with politicians, large and small fry, discussing fm subdued tones the claims of the various candidates, and emitting from their mouths clouds of smoke, tobacco quids and politics in about equal quantities. A numerous sidewalk committee, made up of the roughest of the “*roughs,” held possession of the exterior of Tammany, im spite of the rain that poured down occasionally in short Showers. Punctually at half past seven o’clock the doors of the room in which the Convention was to sit were thrown open, and the delegates rushed in with a precipitancy de- cidedly unpleasant to outsiders. As soon as something like quiet was obtained, Mr. John Carroll, of the Thir- teenth ward, proposed’ Harry Howard’ as perma- went chairmen of the Convention. The motion was carried unanimously, and Messrs. Wm. Fitzgerald and Geo. H. E. Lynch were elected secretaries. ‘The question of the contested seats of the rival dele- gates from the Nineteenth ward was then taken up, and a most exciting scene followed. The friends of Messrs. Auson Herrick and Thos. McSpedon—the leaders of the two fuctions of the ward—argued warmly the cause of their favorites, and a jolly good row was evidently brew- ing, when a delegate moved that both delegations should ‘be excluded until some action could be had by the Con- vention, This proposition prevailed, and the Herrick and MoSpedon parties accordingly withdrew from the Con- vention, only to renew the dispate, in a somewhat more boisterous manner, outside, After listeuiug to speeches from Alderman Genet on the side of Mr. Herrick, and Mr. ‘Alex. Ward on the side of Mr. McSpedon, it was resolved by the Convention to invite Messrs. Herrick and M:Spe- don, in is personis, to come inside and argue for themselves for the space of ten minutes eacu. They thereupon went into the room and complied with the re- quest of the Convention, subsequently withdrawing again ‘0 await the decision. Pending this decision, a lively little bit of a seusation ‘was got up outside the door of the room, which was very near ending in a serious manner. Bryan McCahill, a Mc- Spedonite, and Geo. Weir, a Herrickite, were engaged here m a quiet discussion of the merits of the cuatro- ‘versy, when all of asudden Mr. Thomas K. Downing, ex- City Inspector, made bis appearance, and opened a vio- Jent assault upou the character, private ani political, of Mr. Herrick. “Anson Herrick,” quoth Mr. Dowaing, ‘is the meanest, most contemptible political sucker in the city of New York. 1 say it here, publicly; 1 am ready to it him here in Old Tammany, or anywhere else; aud i any of his friends are present they can tke nis ‘part.”” Not content with this piain charge and challenge, Mr. D. launched into a flerce and excited tirade against the un. fortunate Naval Storekeeper, accusing him of biackmal ing, selling his friends “for « pair of boots,” and uttering charges against Mr. Herrick’s character which are two foul and disgusting for publication, Iu the midst of Mr. Downing’s harangue, Herrick issued from the Convention room, and was ‘immediately set upon by his opponent, who repeated to his face every- thing he had previously asserted against his character. ‘Some few of the bystanders interfered, but only made the affair look worse, as Bill Reynolds, the offal contractor, immeciately backed up Downing, and became quite as violent and abusive against Herrick, who, all the while, stood half-way down the stairs, hemmed’ in by a very hostile looking crowd, pale and’ evidently very uneasy in his boots, venturing only to put in a word now and again by way of ‘throwing oil upon the troubled waters.” ere is DO calculating what might have been the result of the dispute, as the Herrick msn were beginning to 1s- ter as well as the opposite party, had not a messenger ar- rived from the Convention room and announced the de- cision Ww be in favor of the admission of the Herrick dele- gation. Mr. Herrick immediately entered the Convention, and this timely departure had the effect of quieting in some degree the disputants. 3 After disposing of the Nineteenth ward question the Convention immediately proceeded © nominate viea voce a candidate for Governor of the Almshouse. The vote stood as follows: 89 6 Ou motion, the nomination o ebilr present Governor of the Almshouse, was mado unani- mous. ‘After appointiag committees to wait on the candidate, and to confer with a committee from the Mayoralty Con- vention for the purpose of getting up ratideation meeting, the Convention adjourned. Personal Intelligence. Mr. Sylvester Mowry, delegate to Congress from the ‘Territory of Arizona, left town yesterday en route for Washington. Mr. Mowry has some fine specimens of the mineral wealth of the new Territory, which cannot fail to make a profound impression upon certain members of Congress. ‘The superintendence of the building of the new fort in a harbor has been entrusted to Lieut. J. C. Pal- frey,son of Dr. J. G. Palfrey, of Cambridge, Massachu- setts, the ex-Congres»man, Major Buell and lady, United States Army; Judge J. W. Crane, of Maryland, and Hon. J.C. Burch and family, of California, are in Washington. The Raleigh Register learns that the Hon. Thomas Ruflia has resigned the eam of associate justice on the Su- preme Court bench of North Carolina.” The reason as- signed for this course on the part of Judge Rutnn is his rapidly failing health. Ex-Governor Barstow and family, of Rhode Island; Pro- fessor James Hall, of Dudley Observatory, Albany; 'Hon- George W. Ewing, Indiana; D. ©. DeLeon, United States Army, and Dr. Hayes, Boston, were in Chicago on the 16th instant.

MORNING EDITION—SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1859. THE EXCITEMENT AT CHARLESTOWN, VA. The Cause of the Panic—Unknown Incen- diaries at Work—One Thousand Men eee ees Baurmuors, Nov. 18, 1850. ‘The Harper’s Ferry messenger sent to Charlestown last night was detained outside of the town for over two hours anda half by a guard, before they would allow him to pass, and was alao detaived till four o’clock on his return. A very large fire occurred about four miles from Charlestown, and the military were ordered out, expect- ‘img an attack, although none was made. The particulars of the fire have not been ascertained, but we shall hear further on the arrival of the Winchester train, Baummors, Nov. 18—Evening. ‘The Harper’s Ferry excitement last night was caused by the burning of a wheatstack about three miles from Charlestown. The milkary and populace were called to arms, and the wildest terror prevailed among the people, the general supposition being that Col. Davis had some information of approaching danger. ‘The panic among the people extended to the Colonel, and ‘@ messenger was sent by him to the Ferry with a despatch for Gov. Wise, calling for two companies of cavalry that morning. ‘The fire was found to be the work of an unknown in- cendiary. No person could be found in the country on ‘whom suspicion could rest. There are now a thousand men under arms, and no enemy to be found to encounter. ‘The troops from Alexandria arrived at Charlestown this afternoon. Those by way of Winchester are expected to- morrow morning. ‘Tne Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have sent Colonel Shutt with an armed posse to Harper’s Ferry to guard the bridge and the property of the company at that point. ‘There is much dissatisfaction both here and at Charles- town at the precipitate action of Colonel Davis in sending despatches for troops, instead of first sending out a posse to inquire into the cause of the fire. They think they have been made to appear ridiculous before the country. Ricamonp, Nov. 18, 1859. ‘Six companies of military are under arms and ready to start for Charlestown at a moment’s warning. None of them have left yet. Wasmeton, Noy. 18, 1859. Eighty-seven infantry riflemen have left Alexandria for Charlestown via Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Sixty men, with four guns, went by a special train on the Manasses road, via Strausburg, and thence will march eighteen miles to Winchester. Last night and this morning there was considerable ex- citement in Washington about the incendiary proceedings in the neighborhood of Charlestown and Harper’s Ferry. Though it is thought there was a degree of unnecessary alarm, there is no doubt of the existence of a malicious insurrectionary movement, and the federal officers re- sponded promptly to the call by the Virginia authorities for ammunition and arms. Late last night Colonel Craig supplied the Alexandria volunteer companies from the Washington Arsenal with rifles, sabres and ammunition. The companies started to-day for Charlestown and vicinity. A COLORED ABOLITIONIST VINDICATING HIMSELF. TO THK EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Rocugster, Nov. 17, 1859. Some men are born to be great; some have achieved greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them. To the class, last enumerated, two of your correspond- ents—Veritas’”’ and ‘‘Justice’”’—seem determined that I shall baye the honor to belong. Though my name has mot yet been found in Capt. Brown’s carpet bag, nor even in Copeland’s or Cook’s confession, the geutlemen who flourish in your columns over the above signatures are determined to attract attention in certain quarters towards me and my humble labors in behalf of human freedom, for the purpose, I suppose, of having me con- signed to the tender mercies of Buchanan and Wise (par nobile fratrum), that I may ve “stopped jn my mad career,” but exactly in what way I cannot imagine. In the first piace, I could not be summoned as a witness to testify what I kuow, if anything, concerning the plans of Capt. Brown, which were so detinitely com- municated to Secretary Floyd; or, if summoned, my tes- timony could not be taken; for, being a colored man, so far as my oath is concerned I am struck utterly dumb in every slave State in this “glorious” Union. In the second place, I could not legally be held for treason against the government, not being recognized, of late, as a citizen of the republic, As a people, wo are treated in some respects worse than the brates that perish. Everything that can be done has, by this despotic nation, to roll back that tide of haman sympathy which now rolls across our path. of blood and tears. The object is to drive us beyond the pale of sym. pathy, to sink us deeper and yet deeper into those almost Jathomiess depths of misery aud desolation where hope could never reach us, and where the miastoa of our de- solation would almost appal and drive back the resurrec- tion angel. And yet, sir, is it not the climax of tyranay, considering our position, to rob us of the paltry privilege of being traitors to this devil-inspired and God-forsaken government? Our treason must raukle in our hearts and die there, Now, sir, as to my being implicated in the Harper's Ty allair, as “Justice” asserts he knows to be, all I have to say is that lam not at all aware of the fact. I with no honors conferred upon me to which Lam not justly entitled. Ido not, sir, believe in the wisdom of lighting without there is a reasonable probability of whip- ping some Ali the objection I tions to free the slave is embodied in thi lieve that “resistance to tyrants i jence to glory in such resistance, anywhere aud overywhere. And I deeply regret that the glorious and sublime old hero, Captain Brown, was not thoroughly successful in cal ame time most eons, tyranny that ever disgraced the civilized 1. The motte of every man who 1s enslaved should be, “Giy ve me liberty, or I'll give you (the oppressor) death.” ‘These are my sentiments—mine, not those of the republican party. Again, Mr. Editor, Iam not, as your veracious corres pondent alieges, a pet of the republican party.” I merely “run wid der machine.” If Tama “pet’’ I trust the foreman will remember me when next that “slate,” which now and then forms the staple af your learned lucubrations, {8 brought into requisition. A parting word to “Veritas” and “Justice.” Write away, gentlemen. Keep as cool as you can. Who knows but ‘that the per- petual parturience of the mountain will yet bring forth a mouse, even though it be one of my own unconstitational complexion, a complexjon contrary to the statutes in such cases made und providta? I hope you will extend to me the same privilege afforded anonymous scribblers. WM. JAMES WATKINS. EXAMINING TRIAL. The examination of Hazlett alias Harrison, one of the Brown band, before the County Court yesterday, resulted in the prisoner being sent on for further trial. ’ Through his counsel, Lawson Botts, Esq., he made a waiver of the examination, but the Court being of the opinion that he could do this only in term time of the Circuit Court, the. waiver was donied.—Charlestown (Va.)

Unless, therefore, the prisoner, who is severely wounded, should die beforchand, the trial wiM take place before Judge Brockenbrough, in Staunton, in May next. The ob. Jeet of the transfer is Byid to be to compel the attendance of certain parties at the North as witnesses.

Consequeutly all such cases as time, in which otherwise an appeal would lie to a United States Cirevit Court, must be final. —Slaunton Spectator.

It is true we cannot approve its warlike tone; yet our respect for its spirit is immeasurable, compared with the inconsistent, ‘twaddling, shuiliiog, falsely peaceful tone of the sermon of eurwinara Decthen os Cin'samb subject. We give the following extracts from the discourse :— Can ye not discern the signs of the times !—Matt, 16; 3. Wuhvut ubedding of blood there is no remission— He). 9: 22, * * * {tis a great mistake to term this act the beginning of bloodshed and civil war. Never could there ‘be a greater error. We have had bloodshed and civil war for the last ten years; yes, for the last ten years, The campaign began on the 7th of March, 1850. Zhe dissolution of the ‘Ention dates, that and we have hud no consti- tution since. On that day Daniel Webster was put to de sth; ah, and such a death! And from that time to this there has not peen a mouth that has not seen the gail of freedom invaded and attacked, our citizens kidnapped, imprisoned, or shot, or driven by thousands into Canada. * * * No, it is not true that the conflict of Harper’s Ferry is the beginning of a civil war. That would be like saying that the capture of Yorktown was the beginning of the Re volutionary struggle. The meaning of that new sign is thi ‘cedom, for ten years weakly standing on the defensive, and. for ten years defeated, has now becume the assailant, and has now gained the victory. The Bunker Hill of our se- cond Revolution has been, , and the second Warren has paid the glorious forfeit of his life. John Brown felt that to enslave & man is to commit the greatest possi- ble crime within the reach of hutnan capacity, He was at war, therefore, with the slave system. He felt that its vital principle was the most atrocious atheism, withhold ing the key of knowledge, abrogating the marriage rela- tion, rending families asunder at the auction block, mak- ing the State that protects it a band of pirates, aud the church that enshrines “it @ baptized brothel. He knew that the cause needed not talk, not eloquence, but action, life, principle walking on two fect. He had small faith in politics. He saw thatthe beau ideol of a democrat was one who couk! poll the moet votes with the fewest men; and that the object of republicans during the next year would be to fiud the most available candidate for the Presidency; and he decided that the barbarism which hoids in bloody chains four millions of our people for the purpose of lucre and lust—that makes every sixth man and woman in the country liable to be sold at auction—that forbids by statute every sixth man and woman in the nation to Jearn to read—that makes it an indictable offence to tach every sixth man aod woman in the country to read the alphabet; that forbids every sixth man and woman in the nation to have a busband or wife; and that annihilates the fanctity of marriage by statute, systemeticaily, and of purpose, in regard to one-sixth part of @ nation calling it- self cbristian; he decided, I say, that guch a barbarism ‘Was in itself an organized and perpetoal war against God and man,and could be best met by the direct issue of arms. For he was no sentamentalist and no non-resistant. He believed in human brotherhood, in George Washington, in Bunker Hill, and in a God allof whose attributes take sides against the oppressor. He was a Puritan on both sides, snd ‘that blood is always revolutionary. He had the blood of English Hampden, who, rather than pay an unjust tax of twenty shillings, began a movement that hurled aking from his throne to the block. He had the blood of Hancock aud Adams, who, when King George laid his band on the American pocket, roused every New Englander to bea revolution in himself. He knew that the crimes of the slave faction against humanity were more atrocious by far than those which turned England into a repub- lic and the Stuarts into exile, and his glorious fault it was that he could not look calmly on while four millions of our people are trodden in the bloody mire of despotism, It is the fashion now to call him a crazy fanatic. But history will do the head of John Brown the samo ample justice that even his enemies give to his heart, It is no impossi- ble feat to plant Bef erropeteckeyg ty ryan a ee ginia. Within a fio days’ march of Harper's Ferry lies the great Dismal wnohasa peterior depth great Swamp, whore ths are forever untrodden save by the feet of fugitive slaves. a few Hake white men, harvored wn its deep recesses, raising the flag of slave revolt, would gather thousands to their standard, would convulse the whole State sth mic, mee veroile war one of the i le i % ot us hot foal that three hundred halt armed Indians, housed in similar swamps in Florida, waged 4 seven years war against the whole power of the United States, und were taken at last, not by warfare, but by treachery aud bribes. A single year of such warlare would unhinge the slave faction in Virginia, Said Napoleon, when Preparing for the invasion of Eogland, in 1808, “I do not expect to conquer Englaud, but I shall do more—I sball ruin it, The mere presence of my troops on her coast, whether defeated or not, willshake her government to the ground and destroy her social system.” With equal correctness reasoned the hero and the martyr of Harper's Ferry. He knew that slave revolt couid be planted upon 4s permanent and chronic 4 basis ay the underground railroad, and that once done, siavery would quickly blecd to death. We who have seen the kneca of a great slave State smiting together, and her teeth chattering with fear, while wild and craven panic spread far and wide, from the slight skirmish of a single day with less than a score of men, can judge somewhat of her positson if insurrection had become an institution in her midst, If Brown had not, in pity to his prisoners, lingered in the captured town till beset by the federal bayonets, he would now have been lodged in the mountaius or the swamps, whale every corner of the State would haw flamed wth revolt. His scheme isno failure, but a solemn success. Wherein hefailed, his foes havecometo his aid. The of their fears reveals the ‘extent of iis triumph. John Brown has not only taken Vir- ginia and Govervor Wise, he has captured the whole slave faction North and South. All his foes have turned abolition missionaries. They toil day and night to do his bidding, and no President has as many servants as be. The best. Sharpe's rifle in all his band could scarcely throw a bullet a single mile; but in every corner of every township of thirty-three States, the press of the slave party is hurling his living and inspired words; words filled with God’s own truth and power, and so more deadly to despotism than hosts of armed men. The Spar- tan band of chivaly fifteen hundred strong quaking on the hills round Harper’s Ferry, for a whole day, unable to look the old man in the face; then murdering a prisonor unarmed, and bound hand and foot, who could find in that shambles no man, and but one woman to vainly plead for his life; then blowing off the face of a man who cried for quarter; then hacking with seven wounds the body of the gray haired leader after he had yielded; then, before the eyes of the bereaved and bleediug father, crowdin the body of his son into a box for dissection; then, wit obscene rage aud threats, insulting the aged chief as be lay wounded and manacled upon his cot; the mock trial overleaping with indecent haste the ancient forms of law; the hurried sentence, the mustering of hundreds of armedemen, filling with horse, foot and cannon every ave- nue to the jail; the whole South on tip-toe with apprehen- sion; two great States in an cestasy of fear; Virginia turn- ing herself into an armxd garrison; the slave journals of the North shrieking in full concert—behold on what a platform the insane rage and fear of his foes have lifted this anti-slavery veteran to the stars! His aim was to render slavery ‘insecure, ama he has succeeded. He has forced the telegraph, the press, the stump, the barroom, the parlor, to repeat the dangerous story of insurrection in every corner of the South. From Maryland to Florida, there is not a slave who does not have tho idea of free- dom quickened withim him by the outbreak at Harper's Ferry. Like the Druid stone, which the united force of a hundred men could not move, while a child’s finger, rightly applied, rocked it to its base, this dark syatem of outrage and wrong which has stood for thirty years moveless against the warnings of an insulted ris- Yianity, again the political power ef the North, and against the moral sentiment of the world, now rocks and trembles as the finger of this God-fearing Puritan prosses against its weak spot. The fatal secret has now me public news. Invulnerable to all moral appeals, Wt yields, it dissolves, it dies before the onset of force. Like the Swiss valleys, the first clash of arms brings down the avakinche. From the martrydom of Brown dates a new era of the anti-slavery cause. To agitation will now be added physical—to argument action. The appeals of the North will now be applied to the terrors as well as to the conscience of this great barbarism. Other devoted men will follow in the wake of Brown, avoiding his error, and will tarry on to Ais full results the work he has begun. Slave propagaidism we have had long enough. We are likely now to have some liberty propugandism. I rejoice to see 4 man whose banner bears no uncertain sign. The North wants no more cornstalk generals, but a real gen- eral, one who is both platform and party in him- self.’ If aw honest expression of the wishes of the North could ve taken to-morrow John Brown would be the peoples’ candidate for the ext Presi. dency, and he would receive a million votes, Ho had a live religion also. He believed that God spake to him in visions of the night. Yes, incredible as it may soem, this man actually believed in God. * * * * The picture of the Good Samaritan will live to all futare ages as the model of human excellence for helping one whom he chanced to find in need. John Brown did more, He went to seek those who were lost, that he might save them. Hea fanatic! Hea madman! He a traitor! Yes, and the fanatics of this age are the star crowned Joaders of the next. And the madmen of to-day are the heroos of to-merrow. It is we who have committed treason, we, who here in America, roofed over with the Declaration of Independence, turn more people into merchandise than existed here when our fathers made that solemn De- claration; we, who claim that the right to buy and sell men and women is as sacred as the right to buy and fell horses; we, who build our nafional temple on the profaned birthrights of humanity, tho fugitive slave Dill being the chief corner stone. But this “traitor” is live America, and carries the Declara- tion of seventy-six in his heart. think the time ts fast coming when you wilt be ferved to do as he has done. You will be obliged to do it by the inroads of slavery upon your own liderties and rights.

Doubtiees the President's life will again be sought by some one of the conspira‘ors who has as yot escayed but fears detection, and who may hope by acting the pars of Brutus to avoid the punishment he now fears. This more likely to be the case, as it is supposed the government have suspicions against certain parties whose names are not made public. The intended murder of our President seems to have beep well planned, and nothing has saved him but that his hour bas not yet come. The conspira Lore Surrounded bis daoghur's House ia small and well armed parties; the Presisent was momenuarily expected, Cora Geffrard, seated in the parlor, awaited her father; the evening grows late; the assassins perceive that the President has given up Paying: her a visit this evening and hope that by shooting the daughter the farber will immediately hasten to the spot; one of their number is forced by the remainder to fire upon the ivnoveus girl. Geftrard: is forewarned and the assassins are arrested, but not until the chiefs of the rebellion have found sufety in thet. ‘The wotld-be sovereign, @eneral Prophete, has arrived safely in New York, and probably before this has found his way to Paris to enjoy the friendship of the Dotvas and others such as they. However, in justice it must be said that General Prophete was aot implicated in the bru- tral murder of Madame Cora Geffrard, and doubtless re- pudiates that act with as much horror as the best of the conservatives. The newspapere are full of letters that have been found in the posression of the conspirators Ap unusually violent hurricane has passed over the South, reaching to Jeremie, at Hainault. Sixty or more houses were destroyed, two coasters lost in the harbor, and several thrown on the coast. At Jeremie the rivers are represented as unusually full aud overtowing their banks, causing great damage and the loss of some lives In the bay several vessels are supposed to be lost, as they have not been heard from, and a number of dead bodies have been floate 1 ashore. ‘The following order of the day was issued by the Presi- dent, after the trial and conviction of the conspirators:— To te Prorie anv to THe ARMY:— Alter # process and investigation which have lasted more than » mil having all the guarantees of mparality snd good faith, bas pronounced ita verdict Of twepty individua’s condemned to death by court martial for the crimes of wssussination and conspiracy, sixteen have suffered thelr punishment this morning.

The Monster Balloon Not to Ascend To- Day—Card from Mr. Lowe. Mr. Lowe, the aeronaut hag sent us the following com- munication :— 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Crystat Patace Grounns, Nov. 18—6 P. M. In announcing a postponement, I feel that some expla nation is due to the public for the apparent delay which bas occurred in connection with my proposed aerial voyage to Europe. The whole matter may be stated in a few words. To inflate so large a vehicle ag the City of New York, requires (considering the facilities afforded by the gas company) at least sixty hours of reasonably fair wenther, and a continuous flow of gas. Every prepara- tion had been made to start to-morrow; the present stormy weather has not only interfered with the inflation, which began yesterday at three o’clock, but continues to retard our operations to such an extent as to make it somewhat problematical to fix the precise day of de- parture. ‘The public may rest assured that the earliest practica- ble moment will be made available for the object I have in view, and that no eifort will be foregone that may sub- serve the success of this, the first voyage upon the “< wings of the wind” from the New to the Old World. While the project is grand, magnificent and beautiful to contemplate, the public should not forget that it is none the less laborious, expensive and hazardous. Should I succeed in the attempt, those who now hesitate to give me their confidence may awake to the fact that “in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail.”” Had my ‘operations been conducted immediately near the works of the gas company, the inflation might have been accomplished in ten hours or less. Itshould be remembered that the monster ship Great Eastern bas not = arrived; and it may bea pardonable pride to suggest that the aerial ship of which fam eet upon Albion’s shore long in advance the anchorage of the English leviathan in American waters. Should {, Mr, Editor, be the humble means of advancing the interests of science, and in some measure adding to the glory of our common country, I shall be more than repaid for the long months of thought, research and labor that I have contributed to the accomplishment of the great Gesign I have in view. Believing in the kind indulgence of a liberal public, Iam, &c. TS. C. Lo Stocks of Merchandise in San Francisco. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New York, Nov. 18, 1869.

Considerable excitement has been created here recently by some extraordinary occurrences in the Cuernavaca district. It appears that a Spamard who wasemployed on the celebrated San Vicente hacienda, as administrador, fell out with Senor Bermejillo, the owner, and in conse- quence left his situation. He shortly after set up a small store in the vicinity, and appears to have been doing a good business. This did not suit Senor Bermejillo, who claimed a monopoly in that quarter of supplying the wants of the inhabitants at his own exorbitant prices, and in order to get rid of his rival in business he denounced him to the authorities as a conspirator. The authorites at once or- dered bis arrest, and a considerable force was detailed to make the man a prigoner. Unfortunately these forces ar- rived at the man’s store late im the night, and as the district has been overran with brigands for the past two years, the merchaat refused to admut the sol- diers, naturally suspecting they were robbers. The soldiers commenced an attack upon the house, and the merchant and two friends—another Spmiard and a Frenchman— returned the fire. The combat lasted all night, and re- sulted in the death of several of the soldiers and the wounding mortally of the merchant’s two friends. When daylight at length come the merchant learned the cha- racter of the people attacking him, and at once surren- dered. The merchant and his two dying triends were carried to Cuernavaca. Ou their arrival in that place the events of the night were no sooner reported to the commanding officer than he ordered the merchant to be shot, aud he was accordingly taken ow and shot like a dog, by the gide of a diteh, and afterwards pitched into it. The two friends shortly after died of their wounds and {rom want of attepuon. ‘bis atrocity was no sooner made known than a friend of the merchant, a ranchero in the district, raised a party of men and set out to revenge the merchant’s brutal murder. He soon fell in with the government Commis- sioners, and hung every one of them to trees. He then came up this side of Cuernavaca in pursuit of other persons attached to the clergy party, and encountering the stago coach from the capital, he took from it ageneral and his secretary, both relatives of the military Governor of Cuernavaca, avd hung them on a tree ia sight of that place. Since this act of the gallaut ranchero, we have 20 tidings of him or his party, bat they are doubtiess seek- ing other victms to revenge the death of the murdered merchant and his friends. ‘The occurrence has created considerable sensation in this city. The French Minister has detailed the Frenoh Oon- sul to proceed to the spotand examine into the particulars, The known peat of the French Minister, however. and his partiality to the clergy party, have driven several Frenchmen and Spaniards to send special agents also to Cuernavaca to inqvire into the particulars of this most atrocious affair. It is yet too soon to obtain their reports, but they will doubtless be made known in time through the British Charge d’Affairs who is now the ouly foreign Tepresentative who can be looked to to represent the state of affairs in this country in their proper light. The time must unquestinabiy come when Senor Bermejillo will re- ceive on hie own head the rebound of the cowardly blow he bas aime? (is anfortunate business rival. Ten days ny en. Robles left this city for Puebla, tak- ing with hi conducta of about $800,000 belonging to the commerce of this place. Owing to the iusecurity of the roads, the gallant geueral and party started from here some eight hours before the usual time, to avoid be- ing robbed. They arrived at Puebla in safety, and at- tempted to continue the journey to Orizaba by the same dooge. This time the robbers were alive to business and gave thema brush The robbers were about the same number as the escort of Robles, forty-five, and a hand- some little fight ensued, in which a half dozen or so were Killed and wounded on each side, and the robbers retired, leaving behind them a number of mules laden with mer- chandise which they had robbed. The conducta was un- questionably the object of the robbers, and the robbers finding the general had left that behind in Puebla, there was of course no further interest in risking their lives for = glory. The conducta is to go on to Orizaba or alapa. The Cabinet of Miramon has guflered the loss of its won- derful financial man, Sener Peza, author of the Great Financial Scheme. ‘The fellow was found to be such an out and out rogue that it was impossible for his associates to get on with bum. They first took from him the funds and tried to make him honest (comparatively speaking) by every means. Miramon cursed him and even threat- eved to kick him, but ali was of no avail, and they were forced last week to kick him out of the palace. Mira- mon’s private secretary, Diaz, who is also Minister of Justice, now holds the appointment of Minister of Finance. Peza has maliciously remarked since his discharge, that Miramon turned him out and put Young Diaz in in order to be able to help himself to the public funds, when there are or with greater facility. Peza may be right in his remark. Mexico, Noy. 1, 1859.

Full particulars of the assassination of Ormond Chase at Tepic, by the orders of Marquez, together with the prompt action of Mr. Mathew in demanding redress, go forward by the next mail to Washington, to be laid before our government. This assassination is unparalleled in barbarity by any recent ast of the clergy’s bloodhounds, and should call forth prompt action on the part of our government. ‘The constitutionalists, who took Tepic about six weeks ago, have been disgracing their party in an unusual man- ner. Their commanders, Coronado and Rojas, have thrown in prigon all the foreign consuls. The British Consul, who had been 80 kind to the unfortunate Chase, and with whom Chase was living at the time of his ar- rest, has been treated in the most shameful manner—im- prisoned, intimidated by threats of death to pay & largo sum of money, liberated, robbed, and again, owing to his inability to pay a large sum of money, was in prison at last dates. Fears are entertained for his life, as the com- mander Rojas appears to be a mest abandoned drunken rufflan and scoundrel. Mr, Mathew has sent his secre- tary, Gerard Gould, Bsq..to Vera Cruz, to demand the punishment of Coronado and Rojas, and the refunding of the money plundered from the British Consul. ‘The constitutionalists have also been behaving in a dis- graceful manner at Mazatlan. They -have, according to he facts received here, robbed the British Consul in that place of a large amount of merchandise. This case will also be laid before Juarez by Mr. Gould. ‘The assassinations at Cuernavea by the clergy chiefs in that district still continue the subject of much excitement. amonget the French and Spaniards; but Gabriac pays iittle attention to the matter, and it is believed will report to his government in such a'way as to lead to wrong con- clusions, or at least to delay inquiry. These were of the most infamous character. Two and one Bpaai ward were the victims. ‘sides murders and robberies there is little to report.
