It is ascertained fhat between three hundred and four hundred per- fons lost their lives by this sad disaster. News received from Mexico by way of New Or- Jeans confirms the reported defeat of Miramon at Lagos by Degollado on the 10th of August. The Gght is represented to have been a most obstinate fone, baving lasted five days. Finally, Miramon ‘was obliged to fy with his cavalry, leaving his ar- tillery and a number of prisoners in the hands of Degollado. The liberals suffered very severely, fand the victory can by no means be considered complete. Gen. Uraga had escaped and joined his former command under Ogazon, who was invest- Ing Guadalajara, where Woll still holds out. The Liberals, to the number of 13,000 men, were con- centrating in the valley with the intention of march- ing on the capital. The clergy refuse the oath of allegiance to the constitution of 1858, and were leaving the country. Churches are shut up in all Girections. On the other hand, Durango has been re- taken from the liberals by Cajen, who repeated his frightful atrocities in that unfortunate town. Gov. Vidaurri's troubles are not over. It is said that the Fevolutionists in New Leon are aided by money find arms from merchants in Tamaulipas.

Piesldent, Vice President and Cabinet Minis | MOVEMENTS OF MR. SEWARD. ‘The Reiga of Terror—The Daty ot New Vork. Three republican manifestoca, from recog- nized leaders of the party, bave just made their appearance, and are highly in+tractive. These manifestoes, which fuirly represent the rank and file of the party, are a recent speech of W. H. Seward, an editorial article from the New York Times, and another from the New York Tribune, the leading newspaper organs of the republicans, as Seward ie their foremnoat statesman, their prophet, priest and guide, ‘These deliberate expressions of sentiment are the programme of the drama by the author bimeelf, and by the chief actors, who have their paris already assigned to them. The perform- ance is to be a reign of terror. It has been carried already into the South. The Times calla it “terroriemin Texas,” and the Tribune describes it as “Texas in terror.” The Times says:—“ As long as slavery exists, and wherever it exists, there will be de- signing and indefatigable abolitionists, and suspicious and excitable masters, and a social organization which can only be saved by fits of anarchy and bloodshed and mob law every four years is not worth saving.” The foregone conclusion is, of course, to get rid of what is not worth saving. The Tribune, with characteristic boldness, speaks out more plainly. It says:—° There is one state of so- ciety—one state of suppressed war—which, when it breaks out into open hostility, may bring with it consequences with which no other warfare is ever followed.” What the sup- pressed war ia, which is to break out into open hostility, another part of the article leaves 20 doubt. “It is dangerous,” adds the Tribune, “playing with euch an edged too! asa servile insurrection. They would then find, too late, that they have really kiodled a con- suming fice which they cannot eo easily extin- guish, and raised bands by thousands which wil! not wait for arms to commence the cruel and frightful work of a servile war.’ There is no mistaking such language as this, nor the foMowing from the same pen:—‘Slaves, who may to-night, acting with one common purpose, carryjpg out a long cherished design, under the 148 of those among them who are most in- telligent, most cunning, and also most cruel, wreak their long pent up vengeance on mortal 8nd republicaniem, with its programme of revo- lution, extinction of slavery, servile insurrec- tion and civil war, is for all conservative men to sustain the Union ticket in this State. De- feated here, Lincoln is defeated everywhere, and the Empire State, holding the balance of power between the North and the South, will give ite great casting vote for peace, for the in- tegrity of the Union, and for the inviolability of the constitution—the Magna Charta of ovr liberties, for which no man who is not willing to lay Gown bis life is worthy of the name of American citizen. A New Porrricar. Onganrzation, —During the progres of the present Presidential campaign we have frequently called attention to the very cool way in which it has been carried on. The divided democracy are working like mon who swim against the tide, and hope to keep their heads above water only, The Union move ment is after the manner of an under current, and will find its expression at the polls, rather banin any noisy demonstrations before elec- ion. Up toalate period we have heard little of the political clubs, like the “Log Cabin” boys n 1840, the “Young Hickory” and “Henry Clay” associations of 1844, the “Buena Vistas’ of 1848, the “Scott” and “ Granite’ clubs of 1852, or the “ Keystones ” and “ Rocky Moun- tains’ of 1856. Latterly, however, the new republican organization, the Wide Awakes, have gained largely in numbers—a circum: stance due rather to their unique equipment than to any partisan enthusiagm. The Wide Awakes originated in Hartford, Conn, about a year ago. A number of young men resolved to keep “wide awake” un- til the arrival of Mr. C.M. Clay, who was to apeak in their city. They escorted the Ken- tucky “martyr’’ to his hotel by torchlight, and afterwards formed themselves into a political dub, adopting asa uniform a leather cape, with caps to match. The Wide Awakes parade only at night; those in the ranks carry torches, while the officers have lanterns. The Wide Awakes differ from other political clubs in the respect that they are regularly drilled in the school of the soldier, and can at any mo- ment exchange their torches for muskets. Thus they bave two distinct organizations, and t wo sets of officers, civil and military. After the nomination of Lincoln some of the Wide Awake companies changed their name and now call themselves “Rail Splitters” or “Rail Maulers.” They are all alike, however; all drilled in the same way, and all wear the same livery, looking like a cross between an insurance patrolman and a policeman. The effect of the drill of the Wide Awakes is per- ceptible in the regularity ef their marching and the uniformity of their lines, which combine the light of their torches and give a most pic- tureaque appearance to their parades, some- thing like what we read of the “Feasts of the Lanterns” among the Chinese. As tothe number of the Wide Awakes, we canaot form, just now, even an approximate ides. An eastern paper before us states that they paraded six thousand men in Portland last Tuesday. At the Syracuse Convention some four thousand Wide Awakes turned out to serenade Mr. Thurlow Weed, and in every considerable town throughout the North and Weet the new fraternity flourishes to a greater or less extent. In the South, we apprehend, Wide Awakes are not numerous. In fact, the Feast of Lanterns that their leaders would pro- bably assist at in that line of country would probably be such as these the Paris sans- culottes treated the head monopolists to during the Reign of Terror. It was understood, in the first place, that the Wide Awakes were organized only for the cam- paign, but itis now reported that they have been drilled with a view to support Lincoln in case there should be any interference from the South te prevent his inauguration, and that they intend to consolidate themselves en perma- nance, like the Know Nothings. Such an or- ganization, in the hands of bad men, might do & great deal of harm, and theretore it is fortu- nate that partisan clubs always carry within themselves the germs of dissolution. Their members are composed of two Classes of per- sons—veteran partisans, who seek office, and young men, who join the clab from curiosity. Directly after election the firet named class fall foes.” All this is only in perfect unison with the key note in the speech of Mr. Seward, who declares that his policy is not to prevent the extension of slavery in the Territories, but to “decrease and diminish it in all the States,” till, in the words of Lincoln at Springfield, he has accom- plished its “ultimate extinction.” “This,” says Mr. Seward, “is the whole question. If I am wrong, then] am egregiously wrong.’ Here is a straightforward declaration, of princi- ples and policy, and we regret to say it is not yet met on the other side by o correspondiog boldness. Mr. Seward shows in his speech that the South will be an easy prey of the republi- can party, when they get into power; that the Southern States are in such 9 condi- tion that # handful of men can, at any time, raise o domestic insurrection which cannot be quenched; and that at this moment every Southern State, as well as Texas now, and Virginia last fall, is in terror of an ap- proaching bloody revolution. In the same strain sing the Tribune and the Times. It fa the very burden of their song. In the exaltation of anticipated victory in the Presidential elec- tion, they already exult over the Sovth as a prostrate foe, and tell it that it may as well quietly submit to its doom, and surrender te destruction itself and its institution, which it cannot save. Nor is the means left doubtful by which this devoutly wished for consummation is to be at- tained. In Helper's book, endorsed by all the republican members cf Congress, taclading Mr. Seward, the reign of terror, the torch of the incendiary, fire ang sword, « servile insur- rection of the blacks, headed by the non-lave- holding Southern whites, reinforced by Northern hordes, is held out as the only alternative to the planters in the event of their refusing to submit peacefully to be despoiled. The mode of doing the business without bloodshed is un- folded in the work of Spooner, the other great handbook of republicanism. Its plan is to free the Southern slaves by habeas corpus, sup- ported by the whole power of the army and navy; and if the army and navy will not do their duty, then, as Mr. Seward intimates, they must be abolished, and their place supplied by the | wore reasonable doubt. In republican militia of the North and the Wide SOMaEE a salto to Gn tamatentinn Awakes—a military organization within the re | we intend to keep the public fully posted as publican party, who are fully in the secret of the political leaders, and who wear unWorm and drill at present with a torch, for which « musket is to be substituted hereafter, when they march to Washington to enforce the inauguration of the republican President, and perform other ser vice for which it seeme the regular troops can- not be trusted. Mr. Seward says be considers it his “ duty as o patriot” to refuse “ to wring money from the freemen of the United States tosustain the army and nary, which are now, in their very influence, corrupting public virtue.” Here, then, is a fall developement of the idea of “ the irrepressible conflict” against slave la- bor wherever it exists, which was proclaimed two years ago both by Seward and Lincoln; and let no moderate conservative republican, to the rise and progress of the new organiza tion, and will throw some light upon the do- ings of the Wide Awakes in a few days. Mernorourray Prerarations ror tax Recrr- Tron or Tux Proce or Wat.es.—As our readers have already been informed, the Prince of of these conscript fathers may be, they bave not been fitted by education and who is only wanted by the revolutionists to | association for the delicate task of offering swell their vote, but is really despised by them, | civic hospitalities to gentlemen of rank and lay the flattering waction to his soul that the | position. It Is good to know, that design of the party is to prevent the extension | the most that the Aldermen can expect isan of slavery in the Territories, where natare, the law of population, and the constitation of the United States, will always settle the ques- tion without any Interference of Congress or the federal executive, and even in despite of their interference. No, the real design ts avowed by Spooner and Helper, by the republican members of Con grets who have endorsed the latter, by Seward and Lincola, by the Tritwne, and by all the leading orators and organs of the party—those who have the control of its destiny, and against whom the voices of a few conservative men clinging to the party would be like whistling against a northwester. The true place for all such men is with the other conservative ole- ments, where they will feel their na- tural weight and do good service. The danger is imminent and great. Before it is too late let them come out from a desperate revolutionary party, whose couree they cannot invitation from the Mayor to be present when visite the Cigg Hail. It is purposed, if the affair can be #0 arranged, that the Prince shall be received the Battery at noon, and escorted If, however, the Duke of Newcastle objects to the parade as an escort, and the party enters town privately, a review will take place on next day in front of the hotel, and the Prince will receive the compliment of @ mareb- ing ealute. The toreblight procession of the New York firemen will take place on the evening of the 1th. The grand ball is ar- tanged to come of atthe Academy of Music on the evening of Friday, the 12th, It fs in- tended to make this affulr the grandest thing of the kind that bas ever taken place ia this coun- try. It will cost about thirty thousand dollars, control, though responsible for its acts. The | end will be paid for eutirely by the time is propitious. In the State of New York | Committee of Management, which includes the three conservative parties bave just merged | four hundred citize No Uokets will be thelr differences in the common cause and | sold, but each member of the committee united upon a single ticket. Ail that is now | has the privilege of ieeuing «ix inettations to bie waated for complete success against Lincoln § friends. Lavitations will also be issued to the ters, the diplomatic corps, Speaker of the House, Governor of this State, Mayor 0. %¢ city, and other official personages to the nuuw- ber of two hundred, which will bring the whole number of visiters to the ball up to three thou- sand, which is enough for show and not too many for comfort. Distinguished people from all parts of the country are anxious to be pre- sent at the ball. The excitement among the ladies is on the increase every day, and the members of the committee are sustaining already @ very severe outside pressure for tickets. At least twenty thousand people who are sure to get tickets will be disappointed. So, “blessed are they who expect nothing”—on this score, at any rate. The Mayor will have a genera! supervision over the arrangements for the Prince's recep- tion, and we have no doubt that his short so- journ in the metropolis will be a most agreeable one. We are glad to learn, also, that there is a general feeling of indignation among our Irish fellow citizens at the disgraceful conduct of some of thefr countrymen in Canada, and that they will show their sense of right and justice and propriety by uniting with the citizens generally of the metropolis and giving the Prince a real, hearty, warm Celtic greeting, “a hundred thousand welcomes,’’ as it is expressed in their native tongue. That seems to be the universal feeling, from Archbishop Hughes down to the most obscure hod carrier in the city. The Prince has become wonderfully popular during his Canadian trip, and all New York will be glad to assist in welcoming him to the Empire City of the Western continent. Newsparer Apvertising.—L'eau coule a la riviere, says the old French proverb. In no- thing is the axiom more true than in newspaper advertising. The tendency of advertising pa- tronage is to concentrate upon that journal which has the most circulation and the most in- fluence. Thus in London itis the Times, and in New York it is the Henan, that receives the greater portion of it. There is another reason for this disposition on the part of advertisers to bestow all their favors on a single paper. It is amatter of convenience as well as of policy. They do not like, themselves, and they know the reading public do not like, to hunt through half a dozen journals for the advertisements that they want. But the most singular facg connected with advertising is, that even rival newspapers are compelled to make use of the same medium of publicity as the merchant or the storekeeper. Distasteful as it may be to them, they are obliged to go to the leading jour- nal to make themselves known. Thus our readers may have seen from time to time in our columns the advertisements of the Daily Tri- bune, the Ledger, the Daily Commercial Adver- tiser, the Daily Express, the Daily World, the Dispatch, Harpers’ Weekly, Frank Leslie, the New York Illustrated News, the Courier and En- quirer, and a host of other newspapers, We only regret that we cannot reciprocate the favors of our contemporaries. The public have left us no excuse for imitating their example. Tue Prixce or WALES axp THE ORANGEMEN.— We nee that there was a slight attempt made at Toronto to revive the party feeling that greeted the Prince of Wales at Kingston and elsewhere. It amounted to nothing, however, for the simple reason that both Orangemen and Catholics are thoroughly ashamed of their conduct. Too much praise cannot be accorded the Prince of Wales and his suite for the firmness which they dis- played throughout the trying circumstances in which they were placed. To it is undoubtedly owing the escape of the provinces from being made the scene of present bloodshed and of great future troubles. Ee NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Wasmaros, Bept 9, 1960. TOR MEXICAN -SPANT QUEETON. ‘Minister McLane has reod@ved his tnstructions, and will therefore return to Mexico with a full knowledge of the views of our government in regard to the threatened Spanish hostilities against Mexico. ‘The liberal government have informed Spain that the subject of the captured Maria Conception ia unfergoing a Judicial investigation; but this, meantime, it is consi- dered, does not prevent Spain, under the laws of nations, tvem urging the restitution of the vessel acd an apgiogy for Ite seizure. Should Mexico not comply with this de mand, Spaia will, according to rel.avie \aformat.on, resort to force. Although our government, in the absence of legisiative sanction, bas no power to interfere between the two par Ves, tts views will doubtless be officially made known to ber Catholic Majesty's government. ‘The despatch of a large United States naval fores to the Gulf of Mexico is more especially for the protection of American persons and property—a measure justified by the peril to which they will be exposed in the event of boat lities between Spain and Mexico. Tt ts considered nighly important that our diplomatic and naval officers shall act with prudence, but firmness; and much reliance is plsoed ta their discretion, while it Will be required that Spain shall respect our righte and twterests in that quarter.

At twelve o'clock, midnight, under the escort of a large number of people anda general turning out of the Wide Awakes, be took the train for tais place, arriving at two o'clock this morning, where, notwithstanding the bour, one thousand people and one hundred Wide Awakes, with lighted torches, were in waiting to receive the illustrious Senator and escort him tothe residence of Hon. D. 8. Watbridge. ‘The weather to day opened with a cold drizzling, rain; nevertheless trains and other conveyances are continually ‘arriving, bearing immense numbers of straugers to altend the great republican demonstration of Central Michigan. ‘The weather has maintained its disagreeable character throughout the dsy, notwithstanding which ‘the attend- ance here bas pot been less than tweaty thousand people. Delegations have arrived in wagons from the surrounding counties, some from a distance of forty miles, and many (bat otherwise would have come have been prevented by the severe rains during the early part of the day, The display, aa the numerous deiegations paraded through the streets, was very fine, Noticeable among mapy bundred similar demonstrations was an immense platform car from Alleghan county, drawn by twelve yoke of oxen, having on beard a huge log which was eplit into rails as it passed ‘brough the principal streets. There was a delegation of Hollander Wide Awakes from Ottawa, and a company of pioneers in biouses, and wearing chip hats, from Alleghan county. A handsome chariot aso turned out, containing anumber of young os, each one bearing a flag, witha State of the Union inscribed upon it, aad following these was a lady on horseback, dressed in black, carrying a fing, insoribed:—‘I’m Kansas, and they won't let me in.” Several huge flat boats and innumerable wagons, carry- ing rail splitters, with basners beariag appropriate de- vices, were drawn through the streets. At eleven o'clock the peopie began to gather around the grand stand in the Park, and at twelve o'clock speaking ‘was commenced by General Nye, of New York, who was followed by Hon. Charles Francis Kellogg, M. C. from this district. Mr. Seward was then introduced. His speoch occupied but twenty five minutes, it being necessary for him to leave at two o'clock for Milwaukee. His appearance call- ed forth the liveliest enthusiasm, and the pressure to get within the sound of his voice was crushing. He com- menoed by saying that he had come here in obedience to the wich of the people of Michigan, but he thought both had made a great mistake. Their leader in the republi- can cause was not flagging. He found everywhere a spi- rit aod eothusiasm unsurpassed, and a zeal that needed no stimulus, It was his heart's wish that he might see Kansas—that Saratoga of freedom—bzfore he died; and in order to accomplish his circuitous route he must leave to- day. Every where in Michigan he had experienced the kind- lest greetings from old democratic friends and neighbors from New York. While his heart was pleased at their kind welcome, it mourned that they stillsadhered to a bad cause—a cause that brought to them neither honor, safety nor renown. He had seen the old federalists dit clinging to the idea that their party would again be re- vived; and he had seen old line whigs who would rather vote for the ghosts of the dead than give up their time honored memories for the living issues of the Preeent. It was similar with bis democratic friends. ‘They were wasting their time and their money for the furtberance of principles that could not prevail. The man that could not be elected was Mr. Dougias. Every ‘vote for him in the North counts tom Mr. Breckinridge, ‘and in the South it counts for Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Bell, ‘The “irrepressible conflict” was between slavery and ireedom. The republicans occupied the side of freedom, and the democracy that of slavery. The Northern wing of the democracy say they do not care anything about slavery, and the Southern wing say that slavery is right. Popular sovereignty, as understood by the democracy, ‘was the most unreal and chimerical web that ever en- tangled the feet of honest men in the ways of politics. ‘You certainly do not wish it unless it gives you more than you now have. Here in Michigan you are popular sovereigns. You can ex@ggcise your sovereignty in your State government and the Houre and Senate, and through them over the Territories, Why, then, shoud you wish to go to Kansas or New Mexico, leaving your pleasant homes forthe purpose of exercising a sovereignty there that you now can exer- cise bere over a territory that your country owas and controls! Why give up your sovereigoty here without the power of gaining it in Kansas, as her representative has no vote in Congress? Why not exercise your ‘sove- reignty here? Slavery was not ted ia the North. west Territory by the people of that Territory, but by Congress, which alone has the power over the Territories. In conclusion, be said he bad cobfidence that the right vould triumph and the government be made to resume {ts ancient line of policy. ‘Mr. Seward left at half past two, with the ladies of his party, Charles F. Adams, Lieutenaat Governor Patterson, and others. General Nye rematned to speak again in the evea'ng. To wight there is a grand torchlight procession Movements of Jadge Dougias.
