M} Empertant, ¢ True—The Fitibuate: ‘meat a Cloak “te Inaugurate A ‘Cartsin information has leaked out here which, if taue, gives a new and starting explanation of the sudden ‘and wide spread movement to avenge the death of Max A statement was made to-day ,by a person who ‘been initiated into the inner circie of the present eo- eailed filibustering enterprise, that the real objoct of ‘this organization is to inaugurate another aitenpt to gain ‘tho independence of the Southern States. 18 ia said that ‘tbe enrolling of volunteers, which fox a time was & spon ancous movement in different partaof the country, wth ‘Aho real intention of going into Mexico and joining wit! @ome one of the factions opposed to the Juares jovern- ment, partly to avenge the death of Maximilian and partly to advance their own individual interests, is now Fapidly assuming the form of a wel! regulated erganiza- tion, under the management of cunning politicians and experienced soldiers, Men are to. be initiated apa en- polled, subject to the arbitrary direction of military dis- eipline, and are to preserve strict secrecy with regard ‘0 the movements of the organization, as wel! a3 to those who are membersof it. Arms, ammunition and other + applies are to be accumulated at designated'points, and ‘everything is to be in readiness to take advantage of the epportune moment, Of the time when op-rations are to ho commenced there ‘is nothing definite decided upon, ‘Two particular contingencies’ bave been mentioned, *elttier of which arising would be taken az a fitting “epportunity to strike the first blow. Ono is the ‘mpeachment of the President ant his resistance to removal from office, In euch a contingency the leaders of the “Maximilian Avengers’’ will, it w said, concen- ‘rate their forces, which, itis expected, will in a tew weenths pumber a hundred thousand, and bring them to ‘the support of tho Prosideniial pirly. The other ovent ‘which it is thought would afford a convenient opening ia oe iw with a filibustering force, and thus pre- t ben the United Btates and that coun ‘zy, in which case the organization of ‘‘Avengers’ will st once take side with the Mexican government against ad ved States, It is also stated that the organisation accessions in the late insurrectionary States with astonishing rapidity, principally from those men _ Who fought in the late rebellion, and are ditfranchised * Much of the above details is given by the informant * wa the assertions of men prominent im the movement, Dut the statement that the objects of the organization ere inimical to the government and contemplate its ‘Gaal destraction reste upon a more substantial founda- Woe than more rumor, I do not undertake, hot 1 to ‘vouch for the absolute reliability of these developments, ‘dub deom it proper to give them to the public, consider- fag the importance of the subject. Movr- « Ree fee Mexican Missien—Troubie in Store for - Mexice from European Powers. ‘Ms. Nugent, of California, who is backed for the Mexi- em toiasion by many influential parties; is here. In the event of O\terbourg’s rejection, which is pretty certain, ‘Wegent’s nomination by the President seems probable. ‘Mr, Nugent resided in Mexico for several years, speaks ‘te language of the country, and is said to have « ‘Borough knowledge of :ts complicated affairs. ‘Tt i believed here in certain quarters that France, Aosiria and Prussia will make war on Merico ia the event of a refusal by the liberal government to deliver ‘wp the body of Maximilian, Tho Report that American War Veasele Had Been Ordered tothe Rie Grande Centra- dicted. Abbas been published, withont qualification, that “in order to prevent auy foreign nations from taking advau- tage of Maximilian’s execution, by Interfering with the affairs of Mexico, that several war steamers are to be sent fromthe Navy Yard to the mouth of the Rio ‘Grande with a view to watch the Austrian flert h ie to arrive in Mexican waters to demand the body of the late Emperor.’’ In contradiction of this, there is autho- mty for saying that there 1s not the slightest foundation for this statement. No vessels have boen ordered to the @oaat of Mexico for any such purpose, nor has the Navy Depariment knowledge of any facts upon which such a @atement could have been predicated, The Forthcoming Veto. Tho National Intelligencer says that the announce. ment of Speaker Colfax that he bad good authority for Relieving that the President's message vetoing the Fup- Plemental reconstruction would be communicated to Coagress Thareday is not conclusive on that pywt The President may have occasion for longer deliberation Defore sending in his message.

After tue inter- view Mr, Cave was condacted all through (he building. and -was particularly pleased with the printing urea where the operations of making money and ihe preity faces of hundreds of young ladies, bard at wore, greatty interested him.
