POPULARITY OF THK NOMINATION OF GENERAL SOOTT FOR THE PRESIDENCY. ‘The HeRawp was siezed upon to night with the greatest avidity to learn the proceedings of the great Union meet- ing in New York, which nominated Gen. Scott for the Presidency last night. ‘The conservative Union loving men of the South hail the nomination with joy, and express the opinion that Gen. Scott will carry at least five States of the South, namely, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland and Miseouri. When Senator Crittenden heard the intelligence he expressed an earnest hope that the nomination would be favorably received by the American people, and believed it would, When asked if Kentucky would give her vow for bim, he quickly replied, “Why, Kentucky was one of the four States that voted for Scott in 1852, and she will not desert him now.” Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, declares it is the wisest thing that New York has done for ten years. That gen- tleman informa me that he wrote a letter to Mr. Botts, of Virginia, six months ago, in which he expressed the opi- nion that if Judge Douglas was nominated at Charleston the opposition ought to put Gen. Scott in fhe field againat him. Nothing has happened in years that has so disconcerted the fire-eaters and extremists of the South, and mate the opposition in the House look so happy, as the nomination of Gen. Scott. It fell like an electric shock from a clear sky. Gen. Scott will not visit Washington before the House ie organized and the President’s Message is rubmutted. ‘There is a very good reason for this, as, if the Geaera! should make his appearance in Washington now, he would ‘be overwhelmed by all parties, each striving to tind out the regult of his mission. To the many inquiries why the General don’t come on, the reply is, the President wishes him to remain and recruit for a few weeks after under- going so long and arduous a journey. THE AMERICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. ‘The American National Committee met here to-day. Mr. F. Wm. Walker issued a circular inviting such as are in the city, the representatives of that party im Congress, with certain other friends from the several States in the Union, ‘o meet at bis rooms on Monday for consultation. About forty gentlemen were present, in- cluding the American members of Congress. Gov. Crit. teoden was appointed Chairman, and Nathan Sargent, of this city, Secretary. A resolution was adopted recom- mending the appointment of a committee of seven to re- port to an adjourned meeting last eveviog a plan of erganization by which the entire opposition to the pre- sent administration can be united for the Presidential contest of 1860, The resolution designated Gov. Critten- den as Chairman. ‘The Americans now in this city as members of Con- Breer, and in attendance upon the meeting to-morrow of the American National Committee, inet according to adjourn ment to night, Senator Crittenden in the chair.

The Senate caucus met this morning for the purpose of taking action on the election of Senate Printer. Bowman’s detence of the charges preterred against him yesterday was read, und also a letter from Attorney Gen- eral Black, making some explanations. Some of the Sen ators thought the explanations were not satisfactory, and informed the caucus that if they attempted to force Bow- man upon them, they would attack bim in open Senate. After a very abimated and exciting discussion, the caucus adjourned ti] Fs ‘The Senators who make open war upon Bowman are Messsrs. Toombs, Clay, Brown and Clingmav. It is thought some other administration man will be selected and Bowman withdrawn, else he will be defeated. THR SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES—THE POSITION OF MR. DOUGLAS. There is no telling where the fight about Mr. Douglas’ Position on the committees of the Senate will end. 1 learn that Senator Yulee called upon Mr. Douglas and ten- dered him the chairmanship of the Committee on Post Offices a:.d Post Routes, of which Yulee, the brother-in- law of Postmaster Holt, is chairman. Douglas refused to accept, declaring that no gentleman could do so over the head of Mr. Bigler, who stands second on the Post Office Committee, and is entitled to it by Parliamentary courtesy and universal practice. He could not say less for Mr. Bigler, however much he disliked the man. The rule of seniority was to be observed as strictly in regard to the Senate committees as in the navy and army. The case of the chairmanship of the Committee on Finance, when Chas. G. Atherton, of New Hampshire, died, was cited to prove this. Daniel 8. Dickinson of New York was second on the committee, and although the democrats of the Senate conceded Dickinson's unfitness for the place, Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, being the next name on the committee, the laws of the Medes and Persians forbade bis umping over Dickinson, and the democrats, recognizing inflexible adherence to the rule, placed Dickinson at the head of the committee, and put Douglas, with Hunter, upon the com- mittee, 80 as to give the democrats sufllcient ability upon it. The same inflexibility of rule has been witnessed in the Committee of Foreign Relations. No case has ever occurred in the history of the Senate where a chairman has been deposed for a political reason from the cbairmanship of a Senate committee, except in Douglas’ case. Even Hamlin, of Maine, after bis opposition to the Kansas Nebraska bill, was retained in his previous position upon the Com- mittee on Commerce. Hence Douglas never can, and he declares be never will, go back as the chairman of apy other Senate committee unti) he is reinstalled atthe head of the Territorial Committee, with which he com- menced his career in the Senate. Senator Rice stated in the democratic Senatorial caucus the reasons why Doug- las refused the chairmanship of the Committees on Post Offices and Patents, the latter being also offered to him, and it created quite a fluttering. Slidell and Green are more embittered than ever against Douglas; hence the presence of Slidell on the floor of the House yesterday for over an hour, prevent- ing, it is said, @ union of the administration members upon Miles Taylor, of Louisiana, for Speaker. Taylor is ‘ap anti-Slidell-Douglas-Lecompton man. ‘The democratic Senators having in caucus completed the list of committees, it has been handed tw those of the ‘opposition to fill up the blanks. Mr. Mason remains as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Clay as chairman cf the Committee on Commerce, Mr. Yulee as chairman of th> Committee on the Post Office, Mr. Green as chairman of the Com: mittee on Territories, Mr. Mallory as chairman of the Committee on Naval Affaire, Mr. Bayard as chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, an’ Mr. Brown as chair- man of the Committee on the District of Columbia. THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS INTO THE UNION. Mr. Conway, Congressman elect from Kansas, came bearer of two copies of the Wyandot constitutioa—one for the President of the Senate, the other for ker of the House, if such an officer is ever obtained eing obliged to return immediately to Kansas, Mr. Conway placed the two constitutions in charge of Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, who, after the organization of the Honse, will deliver them to the officers nai Yesterday Mr. Conway bad an interview with President Bucbanan, and requested bim to present the subject to Congress in his | Meesage, as in the caseof Oregon, Tue Presitent replied that it would not be necessary for the coustitation to reach Congress through bim, as the conventinu framing it took precautionary steps to have it go directly to the presiding officers of the two branches of the national legislata:e. The President said he would have no obje tion to send it to Congress in a messi wf, as in the case of Oregon, there was bat one copy bere, and that in his own hands. He wished General — it distinctly understood that he did not object to sendiag it | to Congress from any captious spirit, Mr. Conway re- joined that the Wyandot constitution provided, first, that & copy should be sent to the President of the United | tive. States, with the expectation that he would communicate | it to Congress, and that copies were also ordered to be sentto the Houses as a matter of convenience, and to obviate the diffloulty incurred in the case of Oregon, where the House was withont a copy, the Senate having the | only one extant, which accompanied the Message. Mr, Conway said be had brought the copies for the Senate | and House himself, but that a special mosszager was ap potted by the Wyandot Convention, with instruc tions to present a certified copy of the constitution | to the President, and ask that he commnuicate the same in a message to Congress, and recommend th immediate admission of Kaveas into the Unioa. The meseenger referred to (Mr Arny) arrived here to-day, and will present a certited copy of the Wyaudot conatitu- tion to the President to morrow. It ia the opinion of Mca+rs, Conway and Arny tbat the present population of Kansas exceeds oue haudred thou- fad; therefore the English conference bill restriction of the last Congres will not apply ovly so far as it reqmres that a census be taken to verify the fact that the p»pulation is ninety-three thousand or more. * An opinion prevails here that there will be no objection to the immediate admission of Kansas, except on the part of that portion of the Southern membere who, it is under- stood, will in future oppose the admission of any more free States into the Union. OFFICIAL HAPORT OF AFFAIRS AT BROWNSVILLE. The War Department received a letter this morning from Capt. Rickets, who, with his company, was recently orderec from Baton Rouge, dated Brownsville, Desember J. whieh contradicts the reports put in circulation in re- gard to the Woubies there, He saye:—On my arrival bere Tfound great & ement from ao apprehended at- tack Brownsville, which [do not be! isve was ever in- tended, and this slate of things stil continues. The origin of the difficnity in owing to a falling out between parties nixed up with private affairs, and is 80 complicated that Wis difficult to ascerin the truth. No doubt there is mach exaggeration, and this is not improved by demon- strationg on the partof some rangers and citizens, who have effected nothing as yet. THR LO8S OF THE FENIMORE COOPER. The Navy, Department received despatchos thia iern- neg frew Lieutevant Brook, commanding the Fenimore Cooper, dated at Kanagawa, Japan, September 5, 1860, giving a full secount of the wreck of the Cooper at that place om the 234 of Angust.

THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasurnaton, Dec. 20, 1859. THE HOMESTEAD BILL. Mr. Jounson, (dem.) of Tenn., introduced the Home- stead bill, which was read twice. ‘THE TERRITORIAL LAWS OF NEW MEXICO AND UTAH, Mr. Pugh’s resolution was taken up, and Mr. Puc, (dem.) of Ohio, read an extract from the Dred Scott de. clsion, whieh he accidentally omitted in yesterday's speech, Mr. Haran, (rep.) of Iowa, moved to amend the reso lution, by adding that the Committee on Territories be also instructed to inquire into the propriety of authorizing the people of New Mexico and Utah to elect all their Ter- ritorial officials—executive, legislative and judicin’—in such manner as the Legislatures thereof shall prescribe. Mr. GREEN, (lem.) of Mo., moved to postpone the con- sideration of the resolution, as the committees were not yet organized, and wished to speak on the question, but was not in good health to-day, Mr. Hate, (rep.) of N.H., liked the suggestion of Mr. Green, for it gave him occasion to throw out a few hiats. Looking back at the history of the country down to the precent time he found that no member of the Unites States Senate had ever been elected President. And he thought the reason for it was the introduction of such resolutions and the making of filibustering specches, by which gentlemen were drawn out and made to put their foot in it before they knew where they were going If this thing were understood, it would have the tendency of shortening these debates. Monday will bo soon enough to resume the consideration of the subject, as gentlemen wiliere h rate for ea, he ghee a e motion was an subject postpon till next Monday. Adjourned. House of Representatives. ‘Wasuinaton, Dec. 20, 1859. Mr. Tayior, (dem.) of La., stated that his colleague, Mr. Landrum, was still confined to his room. He could be brought here, but perbaps at the risk of his health. Mr. Taylor asked that some gentleman on the other side would pair off with his colleague. Mr. Grow, (rep.) of Pa., said they had heard that ap- pealevery day. Was it quite fair to ask gentlemen pre- sent to pair off with him. Pairs were usually made by individuals themselves, and in cases where both parties had to be absent. Mr. Tayxor replied that the question resolved itself into one of courtesy, and, under the circumstances, stated it ‘was proper to makea pair. If his appeal was not re- sponded to, he suggested to gentlemen on the democratic side that they have recourse to those familiar methods which would have the effect of preventing a vote. Mr. Grow thought it was a bad practice for oue side coming into the House and asking the other to offset their absentees, Mr. CLemess, (dem.) of Va., said he had a right to know what poilcy the republicun side intended to puraue, whether they intended to take advantage of absentees. Mr. Grow kuow of no understanding among his party on that point, and repeated whut be had before said. ‘The conversation ended by some gentlemen saying when the proper time comes there will be no difficulty in finding @ pair tor Mr. Landrum > THE PLURALITY RULE RESOLUTION. Mr. Hickman, (A L. dem.) of Pa., made an ineffectual appeal to act on his resolution proposing the adoption of the plurality rule, ‘THE SLAVERY QUESTION. Mr. Horman, (dem )° of Ind., said the question of slavery was not yet settled, although there seemed to be au approximation to chat end erent and contlictiag views are entertained on the subject, bat he was of the number who believed toat Congress bad no jurisdic ton, uncer any circumsionces whatever, over slavery m the Territcries, because it is a domestic in. stitution—the Kansas Nebraska act giving the peopie the right to control their domestic institutions io their own way. The posiion of a portioa fihe Socth was that slavery by the constitution gues ere itis the duty of Gou- protect ation; Dutit was as un- supported by the cons er doctrine beld by the republicans, namely , that Congress possesses power toexciude elavery from’ alt our Territories.

PRICE TWO CENTS. in return 98k what is the use of collected and associated action, what the use of thought, where the propriety of the enuveition of thought, if there be no propriety, no ure, in great Union meetings? Do gentlemen all at once demand a proof of (heir efMeacy? Do they ask for the people’s legal determination aud de cigion of this question at the bullot box, and whether, in fact, these meetings be called for by the popular voice and helt of their own frée will? I say t them that who ever may be these individuals who take a conspicuous part at these mevtings, whoever may the priacipal speakers, 18 & pointof very lite moment, so loug as tbe Masses of the ps re thore, heart aad eoul, and that the thousands of thousands of those who have hitherto sus. tained the constitution ana supported the Union, are yet awake to their great interests, and are still prepared to stant by them, aye, to the death, There bave heen maoy grave and important questions propounded upon this Moor, gome of which have been perunent to the great issue, while some of them bave not been 80; but among others I have heard of grave complaints in varions quarters, of the po: liical disruption of the times in sections, jocwlines and States, and argnments have been adduced upon the floor, and interrogators put and auswered by various geatie- men, all of which, however diversified fn point aad cha racter, bave at ali events produced upon my miad ove firm conviction—that is, that the Union is in no danger. Gee Such feelings as have been given utterance to here with respest to disupion are at best but local; aad Jet them exist as they may, the Union is too strong ans to» firmly established for th- entertainment of any fear on that bead. But amovg other assertious, there was one made of more significant import I refer wo the action ‘and eloqnent declumatioa of the distinguished gontleman from Obio (Mr. Corwin), who represented bim self as the head and leader of the repudlioaa party. When I entered these doors I supposed that there were two great parties in this ball, oae arrayed against the other, and that between them the great politi- cal issues of the country were divided—that one of these two great parties recognized as their leader and chicf the distinguisbed and honorable Senator frum my own State, one upon whom hitherto bad been imposed burtheo of the pobtical contest which recently broke out within our borders, That was my impression before entering with- in these wal's; nor was I indeed prepared, at this time at least, for the sad catastrophe which awaited him at the hands of he gentlemaa trom Ohio, (Laughter) That gentleman, I think, took us—aye, and the country, too—by surprise, when he announced upon this floor that he (Mr. Corwin) was the embodiment of the great republican — party—that he was the inspired exponent of their doctrines; and as that announcement was made, methonght I saw that dis tinguished fellow citizen of mine, who formerly directed and controlled the destinies of that party in this House, fall “from dawn to morn, from noon to dewy eve,” like a majestic ruin, stretching © full many a rood’ along’’—(Ao- nluuse and langhter)—while in his stead arose the magni- cent Herculean form of the gentleman from Obio. (Laughter.) ‘There he stood, while round about one of his colossal legs clung the forms of those who were iw favor of the Fugitive Slave law, while about the otber were to be Feen gathering the friends of a high protective tariff, while lower down, in various postures, were to be seen the great multitode of those who saw neither in the Fu gitive Slave law nor in a prowctive tariff the representauon of their political principles. (Applause and laughter.) Con sternation sat and brooded over the melancholy throng; and as} locked upon the picture [thought it was batanother illustration of the Scripture truth, that pouring new wine into old butties was destruction to the whole concern. [ would inquire whether, now *augurated and established iv his high office, the nobie leader, with the marshal’s ba. ton in bis hand, is recoguized by that great and formida bie party as its leader? Ihave heard rumors afloat de- rogutory to his dignity—that he is not so recoguized. I have seen signs of open mutiny among bis suhordinates, and I am certain, therefore, that if the discipline which has hitherto been go rigi‘ly enforced on the other side is still to be achered to and insisted upon, that we will see the mutineers brought up and tried by @ general drum bead court martial—aye, and strung up, too, at tap of the drum. (Loud Jaughter.) My friends of the other side muy have rec ized, on the part of mauy of the public prints iss from the State of New York, and especially from the city of New York, a dvsire to be considered as having great influence over the repuli- can party. There is, ag they must be aware, an editoria! sybilin New York—one who sits there overspread with republicanism, and redolent of its principles. Do gentle. men doubt that the sybil of the Eocning Post 8 oracalar as to its peoame and its designs, as well as of ns des- tinies ? I know bim to be in authority among them ; and I wou'd ask the Houge to listen for a momeut t his chant, while Task whether the self-constitated leader of that party is in fact recognized as such by those others whoasjire to cowmand here, [ihe speaker here read an extract from a late number of the Zvening Post.) It isa sad spactacle to see an army without a cbief,or achief without an army—both are equally to be deprecated. But when & party advances with mikary boldnzes, and pro- claims itself triumphant, it would be well, before they boasted too much, to assure themselves that this chief could rely upoo his soldiers. and that the roldiers could rely upon their chic!, or otherwise there will cerminiy be great danger of their being discomfted andaverthrown. I will pow come the principal ques- tion before us It is not what bas occurred in the past, or yet whether there is danger ‘n the future, that we are first called upon to try It ix a question of ‘the present, one that is now existing, and to this question I would beg to call the attention of gentlemen, and ask them in all fair- vess aud elpevrity to follow me in my short speech, and if I+bould fail into any errors that they would correct me (Mr. Cochrane here called for the reading of the resola Lon of Mr. Clark, of Missouri, before the House sincé the fist cay of the session] Now, this is the reeolntion with reterchee to those who signed the Compend of Helper’s bock, and my task will be Ww prove that the doctrines eet, forth in that book are, in fact, the doctrines entinclated and avowed by the re publican party; tberefore,at the very outset I say, ia the words ol tue resol..tion, that it is unwise to cbarge with who aig: vicious aud in t—that it would be most in, the destinies of this great country should be i the bance of the party who protess these” principles Not mavy weeks since the woole counury was startled by the announcement that an iusurrectio had brokep out in Virgivia, aud thatthe rol of that State had been invarted by a band of armed desperadoes; thatitu the dead of night the prace and repose of a Virginia hamlet had been dis- turbed.und ts inhabitants shot cown inits streets Those who bud L euts tu the bloody scenes that w have paid thr forieit of their and have expiated the offences with their lives. At the time that ths event Was mace known the question asked tucoighout the coun try, and echoed North, East, West and South, was, what Wis the canse of this diabolical uct ?—what conta de th inciting emotion of mep who undertook such a wock— who perpetrated soch an attack? Atthe very frst it was charged upon he leader of the republican party that the al effect of his speech at Rochester a a ¢ raid upoo Harper's Ferry, ana that Therefore upon bit rested Ube terriole respousinility 0 those acts. 1 will call the attentioy of the House to th: well kuown passages in that speech, where it was declared that there Was an trrepreasibie canfhet going on be tween fiee labor and. slave labor.” Now, sir, it must be onfessed, from the reading of that extract from the Rochesier speech, that there seems to be som good ground for the conclusion come to by the people, that there was to be found the trae aad only text which furnished the incendiary motive to the attack npou Harper's Ferry and the trato of eonae quences which baye followed therefrom. Bat the friends of that yentioman (Mr Seward) interposed the plea in bis Cetevce that the senumuent with regard to the irre preesibie conflict wae used as a figure of rhetoric, not az intending or incitigg to violence. However mdisposed T might bave previonsly heen to admit thie plea, aca quite willing to let them put it forward 1a defence now Bat there are other evidences, which seem to me to Ix upou tem ayd upon the party whicd be repregeats the respon sibility of the attack Upen Harper's Ferry, aut the ex eitement which now prevails throughout the conatry. | wil now cail the attenoon of the Honge to a few paca graphs in the Helper bi Taving quotod some ex tracts, Mr. Cochrane cont :—The whol wnor of that paragraph ie entirely towards violence—towards paysical viclence, There ix vo tigurative trope th re to put tas a plen—no eoquent florich embraced there—but in plain language it says that the institution of slavery mus: be fought agwnst and extermnated, Here I pausc, and ask y h of my what is the plain poacefnt stump, action of ch making from th Or anieiee deliberation, oF co vusel, or appeal to th Congress?—or does it not rather refer to physteal foree, to murderous aseault, to cruel invasion aud shedding of bieod, and to the ultimate success which its ivatigawrs conto hope from such @ revolution?

On the 16th Juoe, only four months before the breaking out of the ihsnrrection at Harper's Ferry, we have this an bouncement made that a large namber of copies of ths work should be circulated throughout the United States. Who is responsible for the circulation of this incea- diary publication? There 1s 00 question as to the force aud efficacy of the doctrines which the work in- culeates; hut who are they who are responsible for its circulation? Among others that are responsible find the names of Clay, Greeley, Chase, May and others, Ithink , therefore, the country need be at no loss to trace to ils proper source the cause whieh led to the insurree- ton at Harper’s Ferry, and the marder and bloodshed that ensued.

We declare that whatever may be the feeling of gentlemen from the South, thare are those in the North who sympa- thize with them, and who are able and prepared t pro tect and supportthem. (Applause.)

At about six o’clock last night a terrible accident oc curred at the grocery and commission store of Kent & Lowber, Nos. 64 and §6 Broad street, by which two men Jost their lives. It appears that at a fow minutes before six o'clock a cracking sound was beard at the rear part of the build- ing, and in a few seconds it was followed by a ter- rible crash, caused by the giving way of the fourth, third and second floors. There was between 5,000 and 6,000 barrels of flour stored in the upper part of the uilding, the weight of which no doubt carried away the floors. It seems that the brick wall which divided Nos 64 and 66 had been removed on the first floor, and iron girders and posts substituted. On the latter part of last week the arch wall in the cellar was found to bave sprung out to some considerable extent, when t was forced back to its place. On the following day the wall was again found to have started in another place, when the agent of the building was notided, and yesterday he had a builder at work to repair the defects. When the rear part of the building fell there were three clorks and two porters on the premises. They mate their escape into the street uninjured, The mombers of No 20 engine got the alarm and proceeded to the premises, expecting that the stoves would set fire to the rabbisb Sergeant Snodgrase, of the First precinct, was close at hand, and aleo repaired to the premises. He and the members of No. 20 engine entered the building and ex tinguished the fires in the stoves and tarwed off the gas, which was lighted on the first, seeoud and third tors Sergeant Snodgrass then ordered everybody out of the buiiding and locked the store door. About a dezn persons then remained upon the sidewalk talking. Io a few minutes the front wull came down with a crash witbout notice, and buried thoze on the sidewalk beneath its ruins. A terrible excitement was immediately created, and ex. aggerated rumors coon set afloat, some saying that at east twenty persons were killed, and others that fifty persone were buried in the rains. The fre alarm beils were ordered to be rung by the police, in order to procure aid fo reson whoever might be beneath the ruias. Seve- ral nembers of No. 26 engine made narrow escapes. Jobn Gilhooly wae injured on the body. John MeManus had his head badly ent. Dennis Sullivan's hauds were injured. Henry Concklin was seriously burt. A‘ woman who was passing at the time was also slightly yrinred. William J. Ely, and bis son, Thomas T.

Goods shipped from traasit ware- houses to foreign conntries are also to be free of duty. Our troope, thilitary stores and munitions of war are to pass throngh Tehuantepec avd Sonora the same as Moxi- can.

For the past ten days we have had an unusual round of bell ringing, cannon firing. marching of troops, triumphal entries, avd general exultation amongst the faithful of the church of Mexico. It ig too true that the clergy have beaten the constitutionalists on all sides. The affair at Tepic, although a successful conspiracy, and not a battle, bas been a tri:mph for the church. ‘The battle of Estan- cia was a complete defeat of the constitutionaliets, who have also come off worsted in no ordinary manner in Oaxaca and Tehuantepec San Luis Potosi has been aban- doned by !egoliaio, and Gen. Vega entered with his di- vision, without firing a shot, on the 25th ult. Well, what of all this? Are the constitutionalists beaten and their cause lost? Not a bit of it; for already im the distant States we bear the ring of new arms and new prepara. tions for the prolonged conflict. The oaly thing eccom- plished by the reverses of the past month isthe fact, clearly demonstrated, that the military chiefs of the con- stitutionalists are for the most part cowardly knaves, who aspire to be leaders, without the pluck or honesty io be respectable followers. At Estancia Degollaio hal the game in his own hands. He temporiaed, was bumbugged by Miramon, and finally beaten, with the loss of all of his artillery.: He was sur- rounded by traitors and cowardly oflicers, it is true, but if he bad a bead on bia shoulders he should have known them. General Alvarez, the very man who sold bis cause at Tacubaya, was given a command. Dobiarto, une mao who might have nipped the present civil war w the bud, Dut who preferred to sell his tause for money aad mate the diagraceful capitulation at Sa‘amancs, was Degoliadlo’s: commander of operations. With these, and doubtless Muny more of the gaine type, how conlit we exgect any other result than that which befell the constitationalists at Estancia? No, the coustitutionalists have been beaten, and can vever triveph unless they follow the examole of the clergy and take foreign officers. The clergy bave gamed all their late triamphs through their foreign officers, or those who are pure [n¢tians—not a mixed blood general bag dene anything Miramon confesses himself that he had lost the battle at Estancia, and the day was solely gained by a charge of Mejia, who is a pure Indian. Bat 1 fear that common genge will never prevail with the coa- stitutionalists until they are beaten a dozen or so times more, aud perhaps not till they have go rnined the coua- try that they will find it impossible to live upon it as they bow do. if you would understand how the country stands at this mement, just refer to your excellent map, pub- lished in the Herat of Oct. 18” Extend the clergy lines. to San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas on the north, and to the southern confines of Oaxaca ou the south. Then take from the clergy the territory of Tlaxcala, and make al- Jowance for abont four thousand guerillas wbo are con- stantly strolling about in the clergy’s dominions, and you wil have our actyal position You will see that tha battle of Extancia was fought m the very heart of the clergy ter- ritory, and that Tepic 18 now just as it was when your » wax printed—the only difference being that we do w tbat the clergy have a port on the likely they now have. So you will nuntry is largely in favor of the as ubout twelve to one. At the most northern confines of the clergy terntory Gen Woll nas been exercising power in the meat absolute manuver, imitating the examples of the veriest brigands of the day. On entermy Zacatecas he demanded of the for- igo merchants that they should repay all the duties paid consttutiona‘ists stili te the constitunoval authorities during the previous thir- teen months This wl was not promptly complied with, for the reason that many of the merchants have become nearly ruined by the civil war, coukt after many represeutations from the merchant ane demands from Woll, the Latter lowered his demands to about the Agures of the ready casb in the bands of the Merchants, and these demands were enforced A capri- cious demand for $8.000 was made apon tne British Con- sul, who, ou threat of imprisonment, paid the money. All of these occurrences lave bevu fully laid befure the gov- ernment in this capital; ant to Mr. Mathew’s demaud for the destitution of Woll, the clergy appear dumbfounded, apd declare tet inability to control their generals, Ia the meantime, Miramon, who is tu Guadalajara and prais- I's acts, bax el-vated him tothe dignity of General- “tio place ot Marquez, destituted nominally for the robbery 1 the conducta, but’ reall ise he was bo- cominy tov popular with the clergy, and threatened soon to npeet Miramon, Woll’s conduct is precisely the same ag that of Coronata at Ty for which Jnarez put him under orders of arrest. The refural of the clergy to be- bave ax well will be the cause,I dare say, of avery ie cespateh to the British government from Mr. a y of the couducta at Guadalajara is still the ch Uneaginess amongst the interested parties, mov fell upom Marquez like a boribehell. He arrived at Guadalajara on the 26th quite unexpected, and taking the garrison by #urprige, of course bullied them into adopting hig views Tle forced them to proviaim bis de- cree agaist the concucta robbery, and this piece of gne- cess Rov mR to have turned the game io favor of Miramon. He creered Marqnez back to Guadaajara, and, funn: encogh, the bicauthity Marquez, who bas made himsel popular by putcherg defeocelees foreigners right and. left, obeys the order, although he was leagues off on the Toad to the Pacitic coast, and with all of the conducta im bis posession. Marquez, ike ik, cowardly knave hat be is, returned Guadalajara, and has been orcered t this capital for trial He is now on the road, oy wi be bere in a few days. The frevds of Miramon consider big late acts worth: Olver Cromwell or Napoleon the Great ‘s sider wea. they pivase; but, after all, a man whe could pot co a8 much would justly be kicked out of the Service aa unworthy to carry the shield. In ail this busmese, Miramon acted tor hig own interest, without the slightest regard for the conducta. Before he old one of the persons having the io- conineta that he solely went to crush Mar- quer, be e Marquez had been conepiring against him: and, aft rail, we do not know how the conducta stands, It may be sate and it may not, aud that’s just what bothers the parties who bave money in it ge ttacomi The new $16, 60,000 steht, of which I have alrea:; you something, appears to be @ vary rare negocio: Mex! ow avhes T wrete last_T dubbed ita bs? swindle Si lave had reasons to know intentod ne a commercial swindle, pared ny Tdo not speak of ba- bor even from cor cirevinsiauees, when Ltell you it is the gronudwork + ef a huge bolted) game, caloulated to draw Mexico down, potupiy te the feet. bat under the feet of Franca, @aori- ac, the deat ileal of a political freebooter, and Minister of France, 1 koow bas a large tuterest in the $15,000,000 Dusiiess Brom the tirst he toe interest fo seeing f Jeckor gett conclu the bunse ob to work with bit ay ce foreign me nt te bay the paper of thie naw debt, Very Perhaps wore, actually baught; hat no matter, 1.” Dec agg and a native of New York, ased was 24 youl We few foreign brokers profeased & consider the new ® grCAL Dlessing W foreign gierchantg, (They werg
