If a vessel has been sent from Trieste to take Maximiliam away it can only be accounted for on the ground that the Dandalo was not considered large enough to hold tire whole imperial establishment, or, in other words, the grand body of imperialists who will Ihave to take the back track with ‘‘ His Majesty.” MAXIMILIAN’ CROWN JEWELS AURBADY IN EUROPE. ‘The Vera Cruz Criterio states that Maximilian was to go to Vera Cruz t meet the Empress on her return about the end of the month. But the-latter report is Fidiculed by the majority of the Mexican press, as it is well known that all the imperial valuables and jewels were taken to Europe by Carlotta.

Affairs at Matamoros. GatvEston, Oct. 29, 1966, Brownsville papers are received. A new revolution from Ortega is anticipated. Skirmishing is going on between Cortina and Canales. Cortina had postponed the attack on Matamoros, at tho request of Tapia Juarez had sent commissioners to Canales, who put them tnto the calaboose. QUR MATAMOROS CORRESPONDENCE. MaTamonos, Oct. 17, 1866 Up to this date the long anticipated attack of Cor- tina, although often announced for a specitied time, has not come off; and there are many here, whom a long Fesid ence has given an intimate knowledge of the Mexi- can character, who insist that no fight will be made— ‘that Canaies will hold the place until he can wring no more from the people, and that he will then quietly ‘withdraw and let Cortina and his borde come in The bitter antagonism which has so long existed between ‘these two chieftains, however, tends to make this im- probable. Negotiations have for a few days past been going on ewween the leaders of the two parties, Canales pro- [pored to surrender the city to Cortina on certain terms, ‘the tenor of which I have not been able to learn, The Iatter responded by offering to permit the former to re- tire from the city with an escort of ten men. provided he would cross to the American side betwoen certain designated points on the river, the one above the city and the other below. The result has not yet been made known. ‘That Canales will eventually be compelled to eurren- der the city beyond question. Cortina bas much the Jargost force, and, strange to say, popular opinion on doth eidesof the river is with him. There is no change in the aspect of affairs here. Business is almost entirely suspended, aud the people are anxiously awaiting the denouement. ‘THE/GONROAT CHEMACO ‘stil! remains in the hands of the United States authori. ties on the other side. A demand for it hes beem made by Canales, Cortina and Escobedo, to all of which Colonel Sedgwick, now commanding there, has reeponded sub- stantially in the terms embodied in the communication to General Escobedo, wh ich hereinafter follows. 1A is expected that the anticipated decision of the Superior authority will arrive by the St. Mary (steam- ship), which I am informed arrived at Brazos last OPTICAL CORRESPONDENCE. Senor Don Juan A. Zambrano recently arrived in SS a A commissioner from Escobedo to the States authorites. A communication from Pisco. bedo to the formor, dated Monterey, October 6, which I have been permitted to perare, says: — You, as my cominiesior if Victoria are in porte accord with me, and Thope that thoae of Tampico will be the .

TROVELE BETWEEN THE AUTEO! RITIES, On the 4th Colonel Sedgwick, having occasion to @espatch an official communication to Canales at a late hour in the evenimg, sent the same by Captain Lee, In- spector General, whe, as the ferryboat ceased running, croseed in @ boat to the garrison at Fort Brown. Upon arriving on this side he announced tho object of bis mission, notwithstanding which the soldiers who rowed him over were seized and imprisoned and the boat taken possession of, Alter some delay the aoldiers were released, amd the boat returned without the rudder amd some of the oars, ‘They reached the opposite navk with difficulty, « shot being fired ut them as they neared the shore. The ce in reference to this outrage baa ‘Wanspired, In answer to Colonel Sedgwick’s demand for an explanation, Canales, after disclaiming all know- ledge of the acts of his officiais at the time, attr butes the difficulty to the imprudence and stupidity of the officer in charge of the guard, assures Colonel Sedgwick of bis desire to maintain the most amicable relations, and states that he has ordered the guilty parties to be tried for their actions. The explanation, 1 am m‘ormed, is deemed satisfac- tory, aud amicable relations ctull exist. FROM MONTEREY. A etage from Monterey arrived here on the evening of the 9tn, having left on the bth. ‘There is no trath in the report of the defeat of Esco- bedo by Mejia under the wails of Monterey, Ail was niet in the city. Escobedo still remained ther, Gen, ‘Trevino, with his command, had started towards Meta- huela, a the advance of Escobedo’s forces. Mejia was said to be at wiat place with 1,400 Mexicans and 800 French. The passengers report that they saw a large number of Cortna’s men on the road, but they were not mo lested, Later advices state that Escobedo had marched toward Salullo with his entire command, leaying the city in charge of the national guard. Rumors of bis deleat ay Saltilio have reaehed here, but are not credited, Tapria had arrived at Monterey, Statements that he was on the march to this city with one thousand men, published in the Brownsville papers, are not true, ovrsiog Cortina has succeeded in making satisfactory arrange- ments with the great body of the Americans who re. cently made up “tbe auxiliary toree”’ in this city, ond they are now with him.

Decroa—Ob sir! there is no harm; you're not obliged to know so much as we do, Genoxrs—Very true, doctor; vory trae, ‘This dialogue, with a slight change of circumstances, ‘will illustrate the relation existing between our present political do. vors and their patients—the public One week ago the treatment and practice of our political doctors seemed pretty well defined, aud the locality of the political heart was on the left side, and the seat of the other vital organs occupied correspouding rela- tions thereto; but since that timo a clinique has been held, and a totally different opinion has been arrived at. One week ago the conservative repabticans, the radical re- publicans, the Cooper Institute democracy, the Mozart and the McKeon factions, occupying the same relation to polities as the numerous schools of medicine do to each other, had the lines pretty well defined; but since that time the faculty of the college (Tammany and Mozart Hall leaders), a new system of practice has been estab- lished; and»when the inquisitive Geronte (the voters) asks why the practice of yesterday is changed to-d ay, he is informed(!), “but we have changed all that, the college at present proceeds on an entire new method;” and the inquirer's true knowledge is made to bend to the false position of the political quack. THE PRESENT CANVAS, Since the opening ot the present cam up to within a few days the public through the columns of the Heratp has been kept thoroughly informed of the real position of the various parties, platforms, principles and nomimees; but as the day of battle approaches the political doctors find it necessary to change their treatment and diet, and by @ series of bargains, pings and sudden changes in the aspect of affairs candidates are put up and withdrawn as the chances of deteat or success may determine. The slates that one week ago were filled with names for positions of honor, trust and emolument, if they bave not been totally smashed, have had the!r records some- what blurred; and those who have the selt-constituted authority to remedy the matter come to the con- clusion to get new slates, put down the names of those reons Whom they remember, and substitute new ones for those they forget. It would puzzle a very shrewd investigator and ob- '] server of events to fatham the depths of debasement to which modern politicians have descended, ularly that class known as the Tammany “ring.” The time was when the old wigwam was the paradise of th democracy ; its votaries were known for their probit: honesty, and stateemanship. ‘They delighted to be called after its name and to bask in its sunshine; thelr noonday walks were shaded by every tree that was pleasant to the sght and good for food, and also the tree of good and evil (political power) But while surrounded with everything that nature supplied for their comfort and to make their bearts glad, the tempter came, (patronage) t disobeyed the injunctions of ts) and they are now about to re ful malediction for their sing The honest ambition which was once ite guiding rule to enjoy public office for the real public good, by degrees has been suppianted by tricks, destgn, fraud and corrup- tion; and 60 grent bas been the greed of its present ad- herents, that the number of aspirants for positions has far exceeded the laws of demand and supply. This state of things has paturally created jealousies, heart burnings and hate; and these bave been growing apace, until all— certainly the larger portion of influential men—honest men, disgusted with its waning reputation, long ago fled from its decaying walls, not willing to be invoived in roin. To-day Tammany is a decaying corpro in the body politte—a stenen and loathing to honorable men of all parties. “Corrupt, carrupt’’ will be its epitaph, THR DRIGN® OF THR RING, The great object which the Tammany “ring” desire to attaio in the coming election is the centralization of the entire pohtical power of this city and State into the hands of those who lead the ‘ring’ in New York. The treaty of alliance between Tammany and the Jerem: Diddier of city politics, who lords it over Mozart Hall and ite dependencies, to attain this end was first given to the public in these columns.

In consequence of the concessions made in favor of ex Recorder Smith, the German democrats nave endorsed the Cooper Institute ticket, so that now there isa very for- midable combination ‘the Tammany Hall aud Mo- 2art programme, threatening defeat to every county Rowminee made under the bargain with Buss Fernando, ‘tbe democratic Union, the German democrats, the radi- cal republicans and the McKeon democracy certainly form & formidable combination ; the conservative repab- heaus also endorse the name of John Sedgwick, but holding the remainder of the county ticket under advisement. One chief hope with those who nope for the deeat of the Tammany and Mozart coalition arises from the fact of the deep and widespread discontent which pervades the ranks of both parties, The friends ot thomas Heary Ferris—whose claims for the Rogister- ship were so unceremoniously ignored, sold and bargain- ed away Ww inake a place for Boss Fernando’s man, Mc- Cool, was ashame and a disgrace—and the friends of that gentleman will work heart and hand to defeat the candidate of tho bargainers and elect General Halpine, the nominee of all outside regular organizations. In the Mozart Hall ranks the frieods of Patrick Cuff, who had been promised the nomination for Supervisor by Boss Fernando, are also up in arms against the bargain and sale of their whole institution, mercly to take care of the family and immediate dependants of the Mozart Proprietor. CONGRESSIONAL AFPAIRS, In the Fourth Congressional ¢istrict the plan for elect- ing anothermember of the tavored family begins to be moro fully developed, as ‘4, 11 and 44’ is. now in the ro ‘ou the Mozart nomination, as we predicted, and iis iriends say that on the eve of the election bis Tam- many “dummy,” John Fox, will withdraw from the field’in his favor In the Fifth Congressional district the chances be- tween John Morrissey and General Nelson Taylor appear still to go strongly in sohn’s favor, though it cannot be denied Mr. Taylor has developer an amount of strength, which bd not been expected ; his most sanguine frienda, however, think the race 18 against bim, but will keep their man in the field, so that it cannot hereafter be said the election went by default. § In the Sixth district there appear but very faint hopes for the defeat of Charies 8.

This matier becoming known in the ‘Board of Aldermen, a majority of whom are the friends of the destined victims, it is stated that they intend to take time by the forelock and prevent the removal of their triends-by themselves removing Mr. Brice from his. position as:president of the board, and thus prover't him ag mayor.

Mr. Henry Tice was appointed chairman, who, alter explaining the object of the meeting, intro- duced General Taylor, who, in a somewhat lengthy sp ech, said the principal issue involved in the contest in the Fifth district was that the opposition candidate was a non-resident. (Here some ove called ont “Three cheers for Morrissey.’’) He should not say anything against Mr, Morrissey, who was, he delleved, &@ man of generous impulses—(cheers for».

(A man in tue crowd inquired “what more ability has Mir, ‘Taylor than Mr. Morrissey?) That was a question he should not answer; he referred them to his past record. If Mr. Morrissey should be elected it would establish the principle of having candidates placed over them for election who ceuld command pecuniary influence. a1 closed by assuring them of his intention w persevere in the contest until the closing of the polis. lyr. Eli P.

Morrissey Ratification Meetinas—Speeches of Captain Rynders, Edmon Blankmas and Others. A very large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held last evening at the corner of Cherry and Pike streets, to ratify the nomination of John Morrissey for Congress, Joseph Irwin presided. Bonfires, transparencies and fireworks illuminated the platform and the meetiag, and a bund of music enlivened the scene. Resolutions were adopted pledging the of the meeting to John Morrissey for Congress, as friend of labor and the sagen.

Mr. inand Stoessel swore that he bad offered Mr. Denmore $15,000 for his ease, Mr. Wm. 5. , cashier of the Kast River National Bank, testified that Mr. Westheimer bad told him of his intention to make a caule yard of the vacant lots, and that he (witness) had thought that it would be a “good thing; that afterwards West. heimer had come to him and mentioned that bis plans were all spoiled in consequence of the Board hay- ing seized the place. Mr. Adolphus Fromer testified that he believed the place was well worth $4,500 per annum. He thought that any man could have made from $5,000 to $10,000 per annum clear profit from it. He believed the corner lois to be worth ines and the others about $2,500 each. Mr. Ferdivand } also testified that he did not know the inst lessee paid only $1,200 rent ior the butiding. Several witnesses swore to their belief that the property had been ‘damned’ and rendered ai most ta im consequence of its being used as a hospital, TREIMONY FOR THE POARD, Tr. Randall was sworn, and testified that the papering in the rooms was of ordinary quality, In the front part of the room the papering was deco:ated with statues; in the other parts it was dilapidated and torn. The upper of the house was in a very dirty condition, and the kitchen extremely filthy. The witness testified to the fact tliat the place, by order of the Board of Health, had to be cleansed and whitewashed, the floors baving to be serubbed with chloride of soda for the purpose of making them white, The Board also put in gas fixtures and had the Croton water pipes carried to the bullding; tbe stoops were repaired and two brick furnaces in the wash room “fixed up.” All of the improvements were left upon the building. Witness saw the carpen- ters at work ; they continued for some time after the occupation of the building, and then ceased of their own accord; no fear of chi was manifested by the neighbors; the wood burned thas was on the premises was not worth fifty dollars; witness’ family was at the hospital all the time, and had no fear the cholera; had ne doubt that the place could not be injured in value; it might be difficult to reat it at the present time.

OUR SAW FRANCISCO CORRESPONDENCE. The Wootlen Milly of Californin—Mnaufae- tuving Prospects in the Fature, &e. Sav Francisco, Sept, 10, 1866. The manufacturing interests of the Pacific coast are at this day imperfectly known to the public of Califorvia, while the people of the Atlanuc States, outside of a few shippers, whose sales have been diminishing, have &n absolute ignorance of the extent and variety of the industrial pursuits which the wants of a pioneer people ave caused to spring upin their midst. In the early days of gold digging it was believed by many intelligent men that, while Oregon might support a considerable increase of population (it being a farming country), Cali- fornia would be unable to supply a tithe of her inhab- itante, without importing the actual necessaries of life from Chile and elsewhere, Athought that the bulk of manufactured articles, then imported from the Atlantic States, could be profitably produced in California scarcely entered the mind of the most sanguine. At the present day, however, she not only supplies the wants ot her own people and those of Oregon with two-thirds of the manufactured articles used, but also, out of her surplus, ships largely to foreign ports, Originally a gold produc- ing State, she is fast assuming an importance in the Union for her manufactures, as well as agricuitural pro- ducts, which will do credit to much older and larger States. 3 INORRASING PROSPERITY OF SAN PRANCTSCO, ‘The rapid yet steady increase in population and wealth in San Francisco within the last five years isto this tims & great mystery to the press of the faterior, who behold. ing the graduat decay of the mining interests during the same period, thought that this city should naturally be injuriously affected by it. These journals have over. looked the important fact that month by month manu- factures in San Francisco were not only increasing in quantity but variety, thereby keeping large sums of money in the country, giving employment to additional thousands of people, and finding new markets along the coast which more than compensated for the loss of old ones in the interior. Such, however, has been the case, and with increase of population real estate in this city has advanced in value, while rates of interest on money have steadily lowered. Owing to great advantages of climate, abundance of capital and its central ition for trade, San Francisco at the present time is the point where full two-thirds of the manufactures of the Pacific coast are produced. A number of additional manufactur- caterpriese are projected, the establishing of which i require the investment of several millions of and open up new branches of labor to thousands of peo- ple. In fact, from present appearances, it looks Mkely that many decades of years wi!' not pass before San Francisco will become tho great manufacturing centre from which to supply countries bordering on the Pacific, WOOL AND WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES, Prominent among other branches of industry on the Pacific coast is the manutactaring of woollen goods, the demand for which is increasing ry year. The cli- mates of California and Oregon (although differing ly) were early proven to be eminently adapted for the growing of woo!. But little attention was paid at first to sheep raising other than for buichoring. With jarge requirements for meat purposes and profitable prices, parties who had formerly been engaged in sheep raising in the Atlantic States were induced to engage in the business here. The profits lessening for meat uses ‘through competition, attention was attracted to raising superior breeds of sheep for their wool, which, at first, bringing low prices, was exported to the Eastern States for manufacture. The low prices of wool and the re- juirements of the people, more mae i mininz, being dierent from tl lation of the of mills and needed for Atlantic States, stimulated the manufacture of the styles of woollen goods WOOLLEN MILLS. ittime there are in successful of construction in thie ip ty, taonths will mancfacture new varieties of imported goods from the market. that California and Oregon aro such young States—the oldest not sixteen years old—the pattie Bred of ‘Urensure seekers in earlier years, and bigh rate of interest on money, the progress made in woollen manu- factures strikes strangers with amazement, and is a sonrce of honest pride to our people. Aside from these mills giving employment to many bandreds of persons their competition for supplies of wool has enhanced the value of the crop at least sixty per cent, thereby making wool growing profitable, and stimuiating the raising of finer varieties of sheep. The wool crop of California for 1866 so far marketed is about 5,000,000 pounds, of which 3,000,000 pounds have been purchased for the miils in this ¢ ty, end the balance exported to the A‘lantic Stators, Oregon this year produced wot far from 1,500,000 pounds of wool, 1,100,000 pounds being taken by her woollen miils, 800,000 pounds by Sau Francivco mills, and the balance exported. Tue wool used by the milis varies in value from sixteen to twenty-seven cents per pound, Oregon wool being cleaner and 0° finer quality brings the high- price. California wool loses about fifty-five per cent aud Oregon forty per cent in cleaning. Ove drawback to woollen manufactures on the Pacific coast is the dependence of mills on the home wool crop. No woot being imported, the mille have to purchase a year's supply of wool within three months while the clip 18 coming in. Wool not sold to the milis is at once shipped to the Atlantic States, As ‘on instance of this drawback the Mission Woollen Mills of this city pur- chased woot in July and August to the value of $260,000. OREGON MILLS—THE WILLAMETIE WOOLLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY. The first woollen mill on the Pacific const was estab- lished in Oregon in 1856, since which sime three others: of smaller capacity gave been added. The pioneer and largest mill is the Willamette Woollen Manofacturing Company, which 1s located at Salem. It runs four sets carding machinery, 1,680 spindles, thiriy-three looms (broad and narrow), employs 100 operators and turns out 1,000 yards of cloth daily, Considerable quantities of blankets are made as well asa pF ge of yarn, which latter is used by families in the State. Since th bya on! of mines in Idaho and Montana, the most of the blankets made and a considerable quantity of cloths and cassimeres finda ready market in those Territories, During the last two years large amounts of cloths, cassi- meres and tweeds have been sent to this city, finding a steady sale at remunerative The mill wil! manu- facture about 500,000 of wool this year, and the ext season is ny nearly double its workin tion capacity by an improved machinery. Al the mills in Oregon are run by water power, they using Loffel & Meyers’ turbine wheels, ‘THE OREGON CITY WOOLLEN MILI, located at Or’ gon City, is the second largest in the State, It bas three ects of carding machinery, 960 spindies and nineteen broad looms, employing eighty persons and manufacturing 1,200 yards of cloths, cassimeres and flannels daily. it has, however, received additional machinery, Which will double its working capacity, and be ranning in o fo@ weeks, This mili will consume not far from 500,000 pownds of woo! this year, TAR RAGLE WOOLLEN MILL at Brownsville has lately been rebuilt and is now in ope. ration. This mill hastwo sets of carding machinery, 680 spindles and fourteen looms. It gives employment to fifty operatives, and manufactures 500 yards of cloth daily, working up about 160,000 pounds of wool during the year. The Eltandale woollen mill, near Dallas, Polk county, has one set of cards, 400 spindles and ten looms, em: ploying twenty operatives. It turns out 250 yards of cloth per day, and consumes 80,009 pounds of woo! an- nually. All the manufactures of the above named mills have, in common with the products of milis in this city, @ reputation for excellence of materials used and abilit: of wear not enjoyed by any similar fabrics imported. It is the excellence of these goods that is driving out foreign or Atlantic States manufactures from our market, THR WOOLLEN MILLS OF CALIFORNIA, The woollen mills of California are all situated in this city, the locality being the best in the State for purchas- ing wool and for salo of manufactures. Efforts have been made to organize woollen mills at Sacramento, Marys ville and Colusi, in the interior, but #o far have proved fruitless. Ws , though very abundant in the mountainous regions, is so far removed from the centres of trade that the disadvantages of transportation of ma- terials to, and manufactures from thence to this city, are far in excess of the oxtra expense of steam a A great advantage to purchasers of wool lies in the fact that San Francisco is the only port in this State and Cre. gon from which exports of wool are made, and the whole clip is before them to select from prior to ite being shipped away. This advantage is not neglected by the manufacturers, who therefrom select just the qualities needed for the mille, and at less price that can be pur. chased by mill owners in New York or Boston, THR PIONERR WOOLLEN MILLS “ANY. The Pioneer Woollen Mills were started in 1840 with the intention of making blankets and flannels only. They were destroyed by fire in 1861, and rebuilt the same when a stock company was formed, with a capt $150,000, and in 1866 the capital was still further in- creased to $300,000. The mill is loonte c Vt on the northern shore of San Francisco. are all of briek, substantially bail high, the whole floor room being nea motive power ix a 250 bors oruonate number of apindl The consumption of woot is about 1,200, which will soon be increased by ne sets additional cards, a i rt the varie factures deservedly of known.

Their blankets (in common with the Pioneer woollen mills) have made a reputation for California: manufactures the world over wherever known, they exceeding in fineness of wool and finish the best blankets made in Europe, The Mission mills are now getting up styles of goods and blankets for exhibition at the wor! fair 1m Paris in 1867, where they will doubt- Jess be accorded the first prize for blankets, One feature: in the working of these mills in San Francisco is the employment of Chinese operatives who being inteiligent and industrious at low wages, enable successful compe- Ution to be had against white labor in the manufactories ot the Eastern States and Europe. Without this cheap Jabor, mili owners state they would be unabie to manu- facture with profit. It is a source of pride to the people of the Pacific coast that their woollen manufactures are monopolizing the market wherever known. Very larva nantities of goods are now being shipped to Montana Territory, where they are preferred to the manufacture: of Eastern mills, which pay less freightage by way ot the Missouri river. ‘THE PACIFIC WOOLLEN MILLS. This company have not as yet commenced working, their buiidin, aig ie course’ of erection a few blocks West of the foolten Mille, several of the propri- etors of the latter being the incorporators of the Paciflo Woollen Mills. The capital stock of the aa, ia $500,000, all of which, as in the caso of other mills, is to be paid im, Tho new mills will manutacture knit goods only, for which there is a very large de- mand. ey intend making all kinds and grades of men and women’s knit under garments and hose from wool. The works will start on or about the Ist of December, with seven sets of cards and spinning ma- chinery to correspond, it being the intention of the company to increase the works to twenty sets of cards within & year.

On last Sunday afternoon as Captain James Herring, Jr., of Brooklyn, was passing up Grand stroet, at the corner of Crescent street, Astoria, his attention was called to a large column of smoke, as ho thought, rising from the ground; but when coming close it turned out to be o whirlwind of considerable force. This column of dust rose to the height of about one hundred and fifty fect, covering @ space of ten feet and moving in acirele of sixty feet in diameter ara slow pace; twice moving in. the same circle, taking the dirt, stones and sticks ont of the ground to the depth of about eizht inches, some.” the stones as large as a man’s head, hurling them round at great velocity; then jng into an open field taking the bushes and im the air as it went along. hisstog all the time like a. small steamboat blowing ci steam. After running about three hundred yards in the fleld it seemed to die ont. Mr. Herring stood at ene time within ten feet of this column, and there appeared to be no wind outside of it, He called the attention of ntieman to it, besides be.ng witnessed by several ies and some boys playing in the ne:ghborhood.
