EDUCATION OF THE FREEDMEN. Interesting Services in the Twenty-ffth Street Baptist Church-A National Theological In- atitute and University. A very imteresting meeting took place at the above obarch last evening, rendered the more attractive by the efforts of a fall choir. The Rev. Mr. Stockwell, of Richmond, Va., having offered a short prayer, the Rev.’ Dr. Banrorp, President, took the chair at eight o'clock, and referring to the fact that there were some four millions of colored people in the country, raised the question as to what their influence is likely to tend, to good or bad. He said, “shall the people rejoice that they ere free or bave reason to mourn their-bondage?” He advocated 1m the strongest terms the immediate necessity of freed- mon being taken in hand by the Christian Church, in order that they micht, through Christian knowledge, gain the power to battie with evil. He stated that wordly knowledge rans ahead of Christianity, and re- tod that men were, even in this advanced age, more tent on making money than on the love of their neighbors. He stated that the work commenced during tho war, and that he had, at close of the war, by per- mission of tho Executive Board, traveligd South fited 5 ‘The Rev. Dr. Tunxey, of Washi the original intention of the above institute was that it should become a ‘“nationat enterprise; but that groundiess statements detrimental to the desired scheme bad got afloat. He represented that schools are now organized in some six or eight States, and that endea- yors are being made to institate them in all of the late slave States, and mentioned, in conclusion, that tho essential object in view was so to raise the freedman by edacation that he might be in a position to impart Christian and useful knowledge to his own people. In order to iliusirate the great practicability of such a desideratum he introduced to the mote two freed- men, Robert Jobnson and — Morris, who delighted the very intelligent manner in which , stated that men.

All Hallow Eve and Latest from New York were pre- sented at this house last night, with Mr. and Mrs, Bar- ney Williams in the leading characters in each piece, Neither piece has much in itself to make it interesting, and but for the efforts of Mr. and Mrs, Williams, ably seconded, however, by Mr. Charles Peters, the plays would have been quite flat. Inthe first piece was a very well arranged tableau reprosenting Wilkie Collins’ “Snap Apple Night.” Latest from New York is a lively come- dietta, introducing Mra, Williams in her inimitable repro- Bentation of a Yankeo and Mr. Williams as Phil Mulligan, an Irish mechanic of a freo and easy style, The reprosentations were received with rounds of ap- Plause and roars of laughver.

The reengagement of Lady Don for an additional term of six nights was begun last evening with the popular Irish drama of Kathleen Mavourneen, or St, Patrick's Eve. Owing to the chilly weather the at- tendance was less numerous than usual.

QUA SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE IMPERIAL CAMP. ‘The March to Queretaro—The Imperial Forces -A Fight—Marquez and Max at Log- gers—Imperial General Order—Attack from Guerilias—The Emperor’s Reception—R: view of Max’s Army, &c._ . Heapquarrers Iurgmiat Arwr, } Quaeetaro, Fob. 19, 1867. This morning the Emperor entered Queretaro and effected a junction with the division of General Mojia, and 1s now at the head of a well appointed army of ten thousand men. With this force he will move on San Luts Potosi as soon as news is heard of General Mendez, who, with the twenty-five hundred troops he brought up from Michoacan, is expected to join the main army on the road, The Emperor will then give battle to General Escobedo as near San Luis as practicable. On the morning of the 13th February Maximilian set out from the capital to take command of his forces, ‘The move was a bold one, Miramon’s army having been utterly annihilated by Escobedo on tho retreat from Zacatecas, there remained for the defence of the empire only such troops as General Marquez had in Mexico, six thousand men under Mejia er Castillo in Quaretaro, and the flying column of General Mendez, estimated to be twenty-five hundrod strong, but probably not number- ing more than fifteen hundred men, Maximilian deter - mined to unite these forces into one main army and setplo all joalousies and questions of precedence among his generals by taking command of it himself. The corps with which he set out from Mexico comprised barely three thousand men, of whom the greater part were infantry, forced into service by conscription, and seven hundred and fifty were cavalry. Hoe was accompanied by Generals Marquez and Videurri, On the road he had to take there were bands of liberals, which if united would almost equal the imperial forces in numerical strength, and there were passes and defiles which a mere handful of determined men could hold against an army. It was, therefore, no light task that tho Emperor undertook. Scarcely had he got out of sight of Mexico city when he was attacked, and a brisk little fight ensued, in which the imperialists lost one man killed and four wounded, and the liberals about the same. On the night of the 14th your correspondént set out from Mexico to cast in his fortunes with the imperial army. At the gariias (guardhouses) of the city the stage was detained three-quarters of an hour, while the impe- rial guard, hooded like the Capuchin monks of Mount St. Bernard, examined the passen- gers and their papers and made each one record his name and business. A small squad was sent out to clear the road for us; but-we had not proceeded a league from the city walls before we rode clear into the liberal camp. I: was a rather startling affair, the sudden bait in the darkness and the mysterious appearance of a hundred horsemen round the diligence. The leader of the band took down our lamps and by their light exam- ined all the travoliers, then asked and obtained the news ‘and bade us goon. A mile or two further, just as day began to break, we came upon another liberal encamp- ment, on the brow of a steep hil, round which the tele- graph wires bung limp and flaccid, cut in twenty differ- ent places, as if one severance would not suffice. The news was again asked and ‘and ouce more we were allowed to tray bodies of liberals halted us in © manner every half hour afterwards, At tho little town of Cuauiitlan we found entirely in jon, yet at the next bait place Mexican oflcer in & '’ eit eae colede fo: a y and with more ts strung about him than a Comanche Ii att ae cee joer. marching in what would be thought. strange ord in what wou! ul t ler any- where out of Mexico, First ‘we came to a herd ofa hundred cattie, wildly reative, agd making all sorts of irregular charges on their own account; then a regiment: of be nm be § semet, oan very ju their mn and white flags fiuttor- on Crate Ineanshatie, beh toniading one mans af wien dores at a bull fight than soldiers on the march. en two regiments of iniaptry, tramping barefooted with their boote at their back, a few women on horseback and very more on foot trudging along with that peculiar fiat footed ‘trot which never seemed to tire these Indians, and bebind them enough chil- carrying dren to make @ respectable corps of infantry in them- selves.

His private carriage was close behind him, but much as he dishkes equestrian oxervise, Maximilian never once mide use of it during the whote march. He rode with bis men, encouraging them by both word and exampie; and ashe did so his iook of rubicund enjoyment was pleasant to see, Thus the litiie army moved across the broad mountain bounded plain witch extends for many leagues to the southward of San Francisco, Looking up from the base of the slope, the coup d’wit was nificent. Yet it recalied the saying of Napoleon:—*. this is very fine, but it is not war.” At the village of San Francisco the troops were halted for the night, and rapidly dispersed ag | the few stores and fondas in search of provisions. Every- thing obtained “was scrupulously paid for, and nothing was allowed to be taken by force, The Emperor's orders were rigid on this point, and as the Mexicans are never voluntarily hospitable, many of his officers came poorty off, Two dollars were offered in vain for a seiter ands mat Tho inmates of the captured diligences— ourselves among the number—curled themselves up, in, upon and under their vehicles, and vaialy attempted to sleep while Mexican buglers made night hideous by their calla. At half-past five the reveille sounded, and at six the march was resumed.

The liberals, however, ocoupled the left side Oniy, and ‘up a brisk fire of musketry, After a brief skirmish the imperial cavalry and infantry ad- vanoed and took possession of the hill on the right. The liberals then massed on the left, eo sent out skirmishers io feel their position. The Kmperor himself went with the skirmishers and exposed him- self fearlessly in the thickest of the fire: Several ot his staf endeavored to draw him back, but with the spirit of the old Hapsburgs before these degenerate days ¢ Austrian Prince replied, “No, I. am a soldier now and must go with my men."’ One of his attendants was shot in the face just behind him, but Maximilian re- mained to the Inst. Meanwhile the unbappy diligence from Queretaro attracted the attention of the liberals, who apparently imagined that the Emperor was there and fired a volley of at least a hundred and filty rifles at the vehicle, The mules plunged and upset the coach, but no one either in or near the diligence was shot, though one lancer some ¢istance off was killed and four wounded by the discharge, This bad markemanship seemed lesa remarkable afterwards, when I found that the liberals’ muskets were rifled and their bullets round instead of conical, After this grand onslaught on a coach the firing slackened and the attacking force with- drew, They lost two kilied and two prisoners, The im- — was confined to the casuaities already men- tio! I saw only one, a poor devil with a sabre cut on his jas without firearms, having probably thrown Geueral juez Wanted to have him shot, but the Emperor strongly protested, “Good,” sald Marquez to bis Adjutant, with a meaning look), “put him with the other prisoners.’’ The trembling wretch was taken to the rear, aod —— he was missing shortly afterwards. In the diligence that came from Queretaro were two men with from Racobedo, one for $7,500, Marquez of whom bad an order on Mexico was for shooting both of them as liberal spies, but the Emperor again interposed and saved their lives. MARQUEZ AND MAX, There seems to be littie cordiality between the Empo- ror and his principal general, Thoy ride as far apart as possible and hold very little comtuunication, But Mar- ques is a necessity of the hour to the imperial cause. Arri San Juan del Rio the Emperor issued the following order of the day ;— THR EMPRROR TO THR MEXICAN AnMY:— To-day places me in the front, and I take command of our army, which more than two months bave suf- ficed to call er and organize. This is the day T have long aod ently desired to see, Obstacles have hindered ainat my will, To-day, free from all compromises, I can follow simply my sentiments of goed and | jousm. ir duty as loyal citizens commands us to fight for the two principles most sacred to the country—for her independenoe, which is menaced by men who, from motives of egotism seek to barter away her national territory; aud for internal peace, which we see Violated every day in a manner most cruel to our pacific compatriots. Our action, free from all influence, from ali externa! pressure, we shall defend, and maintain the honour of our glorious national banner. T hope tho as caaee ho graces will give to the officers, and they Pride there is no necessity to speak, they are the birthright of every siexican.” T nominate the valiant General Marquez my Chief of Staff, and divide the army into three corps, The mand of the First I give to the brave General upon ey) pe one day or other to include General Mendez, with his faithful and long suffering troops in the Second corps. The General Vidaurri socompanies me to organize his troo| ead open the campelgn ef the worth, - Our trust is in God, who protects and will protect Mex- ico, and we will fight bravely and tenaciously with our sacred invocation, ‘Viva la iad MAXIMILIAN. San Joan Dat Rio, Feb, 17, 1867. Our campaign ina diligence had proceeded thus when orders were given us to go ahead, and wo soon left the imperial forces behind. this time we were within fifteen or twenty hours’ journey of Queretaro. ‘Three hours’ ride brought us up with C ‘Cosea (or General Coronel, as he is universally called on the road) and tho forces that had attacked the Emperor. Coronel is tall and well knit, with features of an unmistakable Spanish cast, which would be pleasing but for a strange convexity of the eyes, I had a briof talk with him about the fight. He claimed no vi , but seemed to think it @ considerable feat for five*hundred men to fire a few shots at six times their number, and then run away. A leaguo or aunt of Carvaal us tothe g' of La Sol the haunt of Carav: some hundred or two of the rs of this renowned guerilla were loung- ing about the diligence house. Caravajal himself, dar! and swarthy, in a shabby blue civilian suit and slip- pers, dat the bar gs and, leaning over to the driver, asked if he had brought him “that” from Mexico. Cochero gave a look of intelligence and diving under the seat produced the sighting apparatus of a twelve pound cannon, which we could see already mounted on the battlements of the church opposite, Caravajal took it from him witha amile, adding, “Let me know, will you, when Miramon is coming.” "Marquez, Miramon’s double, did come the next day, but Caravajal was not in the way to receive him. Coronel had tive hundred cavalry, Caravajal three hundred, and other chieftans could have added a hundred ortwo more. With these forces united and led by one bold man it would bave been an easy task not only to prevent the Em, s march to Queretaro, but 4m conjunction with the strong liberal bands in the rear to have captured Max, Marquez and their entire force, thus putting an end at one biow to the war. But united action is not included 1m the liberal creed. Every petty chief insists upon ruling his own little hell rather than serving in & general heaven, It is a laay, restless life, dashing about the country on horsebacl levying blackmail in the name of liberalism, and it suits the Mexican temperament, If there were ‘no common enemy to fight against they would have to fight each other. Therefore, none of them desire the restoration of tranquillity to the country. Soledad was far behind us, and Queretaro was almost insight. We bogan to hope that the rumor of the Em- peror’s march had preceded him and cleared the roads of the desperate gangs of robbers that infest it, But it was Bot so, Just as we reached the crest of a mountain ove looking the city a sbot brought the stage to, and fi robbers, armed to the teeth, came running up the moun- tain side, and made towards us. If any one pictures a Mexican guerilla as a chivalrous sort of pomcnner much after the style of Paul Clifford or Claude Duval, let him dispossess himself at onoe’ of all such ideas A Mexican guerilla ts villany naked, most literal sense. The rufflians in whose clutches we found ourselves were on foot and wore nothing but a dirty blanket and a sombrero, but each carried arifle, a revolver and a knife. Surrounding the coach and shout- ey wore, their bands trembled go even while robbing unarmed men wo- men that they ly thrust them into our pock- ots; yet any attempt at resistance would have been worse than madness, for probably there were twenty or thirty more of their gang within earshot, We had four ladies, an old man and several children in our party, so they us with wi boty never happened. They too! books, papers, a valuable series of maps and ks of reference were all away to their mountain dep; there, doubtless, to be burnt or torn up. | arrived in Queretaro with a wardrobe consisting of a shirt, a pairof socks, a box of sardines anda piece of Windsor soap. ‘This latter commodity two of the thieves looked at but both handed back as having no use forit.

At eleven o'clock a shower of rockets and crackers from the look-out on the cathedral apnounced the Emperor's approach, and soon afterwards Maximilian himselt rode through tae plaza to the quar- tera prepared for him at the Merchants’ Club House or Lonja, as itis termed. The lace closed around him and received him with more demonstrations of enthu- siasm than I had thought the Moxicans capable of. Queretaro, Feb. 22, 1867. A REVIEW. The Emperor this afternoon reviewed his army on tho outskirts of the city. As near asl could judge the muster was about eight thousand men, mostly well armed, and some of the cavalry—particularly the Em- press’ old regiment—remarkably well drilled and mounted. Maximilian moves and talks Lowe: A been | his troops, and reaily seems to have inspired them wil some degree of contidence and attachment. There is no apparent discontent, and there have been no desertions of amy account. All the officers of whose conservati: there was any suspicion have been replaced by Pant: going mochos, brought with him three months’ bin THE PROGRAMME. Some days will be consumed yet in completing the organization of the army, and the Emperor will then move out in the direction of San Luis Potosi. Tho appointment of Marquez to virtually the chief command is an indication that more caution will be observed than guided Miramon’s disastrous movement in the same direction, I accompany the imperial army to see the drama played out, OUA SPECIAL VERA CRUZ CORRESPONDENCE, Active Preparations to Defend Vera Craz— T However, to Leave Before Six jarm—Prees ‘eur of Arrest—The Custom House, &c.
