The following special despatch to the HeRAtp has been received from our cor- esp ondent in Matamoros, Mexico: —~ Matamoros, Oct, 21, Via Corpus Curisti, Texas, Oct. 24, 1871. The Mexican rebels have cut the telegraph and taken the mails from the stages. The communication with the interior is closed, The Hxratp courier, who arrived at an early hour yesterday, left Monterey on the 8th instant. He was detained at Cerralvo during several days and then permitted to proceed. The Monterey pronunciamiento is by Trevino, the Governor of Nuevo Leon, combined with Pedro Martinez, who headed the revolution last year, the imperialist, Guiroga, General Naranjo and others. Trevino is a fighter, but no states- man, He is very timid in State craft. He left Monterey in the last days of September fora suburb six miles distant. On the day following that of his departure an official fol- lowed him and announced the arrest of all the federal officials in Monterey and the smaller cities of tie State. Trevino approved of the act, and issued & pronunciamiento in favor of General Diaz, declaring Juarez’s election fraudulent and bis administration guilty of corruption and tyranny, and that reforms were necessary. He then returned to Montery, and imposed a forced loan of $50,000 on the place, The American Consul Ulrich was required to pay $1,500. He refused, and hoisted his flag and protested in the name of the American citizens. Several Americans, including Mrs, Rankin, the mise¥nary, publicly refused to join in the protest, General Trgvino gave Consul Ulrich ten days to pay up or else be imprisoned. The money was paid. General Trevino then recruited 800 men and moved toward Saltillo, which was defended by Governor Cespada, a Juarist. General Martinez, with 200 cavalry, moved on Saltillo by a different route, and reached the other side of the city. When near Buena Vista he encountered 500 government infantry . moving to the assistance of Cespada, Martinez cut off the wagons from the main body and charged the government troops twice. The latter formed in hollow square and re- pulsed him, killing many of his men and wounding him, At the moment of the latest accounts Gen- eral Trevino was still before Saltillo awaiting the arrival of artillery. Cespada being reinforced, was rapidly for- tifying his positions, The revolutionists claim that ten States have pronounced and will join them, but this is regarded as improbable, Escobedo doubtless supports the govern- ment, as he is an enemy of Trevino, He will prevent the revolutionists from penetrating to the interior. The Custom House at Guavos, on the Zona Libre line, bas been removed. Naranjo, with a few hundred men, is near the Tamaulipas boundary line and threatens Mier and other places of Northern Tamaulipas, Cortina’s forces are supporting Juarez in front of Naranjo. The latter wrote to Cortina, urging bim to join the movement, but he refused, Canales is at Victoria, He remains quiet, waiting the issue of events, On the 11th instant Major Zermeno, of the Fourth cavalry, stationed here, raised a cry for Diaz with twenty men, and rode into the country. A squadron of Cortina’s forces pur- sued him, overtook his force and routed it, Zermeno is now in Brownsville laid up sick. General Palacio, commanding here, has issued a proclamation condemning Zermeno and say- ing that he is determined to support the ex- isting government. Matamoros will pronounce notwithstanding if the revolutionists are at all successful, The private telegraph line to Brownsville will be completed by the 15th proximo, I shall return to Monterey if possible.

Match Race Between the Livo- nia and Dauntless. baleneiarad The British Craft Again Defeated in an Ocrasi Contest from Sandy Hook Light- ship Twenty Miles to Wind- ward and Back, A Fine Breeze and Splendid Sailing. The Livonia Carries Away Her Maintopmast. ANOTHER RACE TO-DAY It would seem that the yachting season is by no means at an end, and that before he leaves the country the industrious and persevering owner of the Livonia is bound to leave nothing undone to win fame for his stanch and ready craft, Not satisfied with the result of the series of international contests, Mr. Ashbury yesterday fulfilled his promise of ‘going it alone’’ over the course, and will repeat the performance to-day. He already claims two races, and will of course request that the cup be handed over to him when he shall have completed the fourth one, As the Racing Committee have intimated that the international races for the prize nave already been decided im favor of the American yachts, they having won four out ot the seven contests proposed, no further action will be taken in the matter. Mr. Ashbury intends to ap- peal to some yachting congress in England about his grievances, and certainly no better pleader ever appeared before an intelligent sporting body, With the laudable desire of killing two birds with one stone—ac times a dificult feat—Mr. Ashbury not only sailed over the course alone for the “Queen’s Cup,’ but had a private match race with the Dauntless besides for a fifty guinea cup. ‘This contest, be it remembered, was altogether distinct from any international affair, and was in no way connected wit the series of races already deter- mined. The course was from the Sandy Hook lightship twenty miles to windward and back, fortunately the very one sclected by Mr. Ashbury to sali alone for the Queen’s Cup, The Dauntiess gave time allowance to the Livonia according to the old apportionment, depending on the number of hours in which the race should be made, otherwise she would have had to allow the British yacht only thirty-five seconds. In the con- test yesterday the Livonia received five minutes, The following shows the area of the vessels:— Name. Nationality. Owner. Area. Livonia..... Neneliah James Ashbury... 2,899 Dauntless... Americai ea G, Bennett, 7. 2612 The morning looked anything but favorable for a yachting contest, and from all appearances it was not unlikely that the race would be postponed. From early dawn a drizzling rain, subsequently suc- ceeded by a heavy mist, at first precluded the pos- sibility of the match coming of. Towards seven o'clock, however, a lively breeze sprung up, partly dispelling the thick and murky haze that prevailed. ‘The steamer Virginia Seymour was in watting at the foot of Desbrosses street for the Racing Committee, and at half-past seven she cleared for the anchorage ground at Staten Island. At that early hour in the morning everything looked perfectly still. A few yachts lay at awchor, their occupants being all be- low. It was like a lull after the exciting events of the day previous and preceding week. There was no animation, no bustle, crowded steamboats or en- thuslastic spectators, Peareful repose and content. ment seemed to reign supre/ie. The Seymour arrived in due season, and alter alittle delay took the Daunt- less 1n tow for the Sandy Hook lightship, Meanwhile the Livonta had got under way and was alu’ Iv gn ‘wader jio and mainsall. proaching the Na iOw by the Leon, and koth ves- sels at once proceeded to their destinaucy. The weather became very thick and disagreeable, though at times there were symptoms that the day would turn out auspiciously for the race. Coming up towards the point of the Hook the breeze fresn- ened from the northeast, and as both the uivonia and Dauntless had be sail the work of the steamers was rendered comparativel — The Dauntless arrived in the vicinity of the Lightship at a few minutes to eleven o’clock aud the Livonia about five minutes later. Sails were hoisted witn- out much ado, and asthe breeze sprung up both vessels took a preliminary skirmisn by way of a canver and then took up positions to the northward of the Lightship. The Livonia, which Jooked in ex- cellent trim, carried her usual display of canvas, including mainsail, foresail, square-headed topsails, peeve and jib. The Dauntless was under matn- sail, foresail, working topsalis, forestaysall, jib and flying jib. Butlitue time was lost in completing the preliminary arrangements, and everything hav- ing been finally settled in @ satisfactory manner the yachts prepared for the contest, THE START. The steamtug Leon was sent forth as a markboat twenty miles ¢o windward of the La rere a and anchored off Rockaway beach. The Virginia Sey- mour got in line with the Lightship and stood to the eastward of it aout a quarter past eleven o'clock. ‘The flag was jowerea at 11:41 A. M. as a signal to repare, and five minutes aiterward a whistle was Blown for the start, which, being a fying one, was recorded for the yachts, as ander:— HM. & Livonia.....s0e++ 1 49 26 Dauntless....,, THE RACE. The tide was on the last of the ebb, the wind pretty fresn from the east-nertheast. A more beau- tiful start coulda not nave been effected, and both vessels passed the Lightshtp in splendid style, all the canvas set taking well. The Livonia had of course a good lead and kept as closely as possible to the wind, while the Dauntless followed on her weather quarter. The two yachts headed to the eastward and a regular stern chase ensued. The Dauntless slowly crawled up on her opponent, which, however, was evidently resvlved not to allow the former the weather position, In this manuer the contestants sped along at @ lively rate for nearly half an hour, neither gaining much to speak of, although the Dauntiess, changing her tactics, was gradually coming up to leeward. The race, so far, was not unlike that of the preceding day between the Sappho and Livonia, when the former failing to, or, rather, being prevented from eating up to windward, hand- somely rushed past her adversary on the lee side, After a very interesting stretch the Dauntless tacked to the northward at 12:18 P. M., the Livonia almost immediately following her nae Both vessels were now heading towards Long Island shore. The weather, excepting the comparatively slight breeze that prevailed, was anything but encouraging, an da the prospects Were decidedly worse, A heavy. mtst hung all around, and altogether the day was gloomy in the extreme. The tack towards the shore lasted over an hour, and it was the evident intention of both yachts stick to each other as long as ible— a circumstance that imparted to the contest addi- tional Pes rg The ret hiy 40 ee taen 3 the Livonia at the ¢o} ment of f » JI reached ber rather qalekiy, ond. bering nally passed her, worked up to windward—a position which she maintained to the end of the race. ‘The wind was somewhat puffy at times, but, con- sidering that it was almost too light for the Dauat- léss, good speed was made by both vessels, Having obtained a@ fine weather position the Dauntless kept oo lh 0 well up in the wind and began to drop her adversary, which, strange to say, of to @ far greater extent than st she had hitherto done, The faint, struggling rays of the sun had but little effect tn dispelling the naze, The Dauntiess had now (2:20 P. M.) a clear lead of two miles, the Livonia being away off to leeward and almost obscured by the fog. The former, when not far distant from the Long Isiand shore, went about at 1:27 P. M., standing to the eastward. Thence to the stakeboat sie gained gradually on the Livonia, which throughout showed a reluctance to keeping in the wind, At 2:31 P.M. she went about, the two vessels then heading southeast by south, The Dauntless tacked to the northward at 2:40 P.M. and two minutes later the Livonia fol- lowed in @ similar direction. The Livonia at this stage was fully three miles to leeward, but sbe nevertheless watched the movements of the Daunt- less pretty closely,. both tacking again almost simultaneously at 2:51 P. M. The markboat was now in sight, and after standing on for about twenty minutes the Dauntiess went about and bore for the turning point, She was compelled, however, to make & short tack in order to round it, which she did at oh, 25m, 208. Meanwhile the Livonla was out of sight, standing somewhere off to the southward, but as the mist cleared away she hove in view and was seen tacking at hali-past three o'clock. She finally made a very long stretch in shore and suc. ceedéd in weathering the stakeboat, the time of rounding which by both yachts being as follows:— M.

It was eviaent that she was coming along in good shape, having emerged froin the mist half an hour after rounding the stakeboat, and was seen by those on the com- mittee boat to make excellent Way, Moreover, the Asuka Fars ‘Wind was doing bnt little for th as the Livonia was very much favored tired roopee it, it was anticipated ihat the contest would be very toward the fish. The two bowled very oticenbte for over an hour without any feature ith except that the Livonia was quickly following, though at a con- siderable distance, in ‘the wake of the Dauntless.

Ineffectual Attempt to Capture the Outlaws— Apathy or Criminal Connivance of the Uiti- zens—An Interview with the Robbers— Willing. to Surrender on a Free Pardon or to Die Game. RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 24, 1871. The Carolinian of to-day contains a letter written by Adjutant General Gorman, of the State militia, giving a history of the unsuccessful campaign against the negro banditti in Robeson county, who have so long defled both the State and national autnorities, The letter makes four columns, After receiving instructions from the Executive to com- mience operations tie repaired to Robeson county, where he organized @ company of State militia, He says:— GENERAL GORMAN’S NARRATIVE, I succecded in obtaining two depleted companies of United States troops from General Morgan, which together numbered nearty flity men. General Mer- gan consented that they should go to Robeson county only on condition that the citizens co-oper- ated with them. When we arrived we went tmme- diately into camp at Eureka, a railroad crossing im- mediately in the district wherein the robbers oper- aved, and awaited the coming of the volunteers, wuo were collecting at Shoe Heel. On the following day some ten or twelve citizens joined us, p incipally consisting of the baud of refugees, and uring the week iollowing they were joined by uine more, These were all the volunteers we were ever enabied to optain, and several of these were citizens of Richmond county, and out of the entire number none knew any of teal fon] of robbers suiticiently well to tell them should we have happened to have seen them in the swamps. These yolunteers were promised in @ few days, and with the force that was Present we proceeded immediately to commence operations. PRACTICAL NEGRO EQUALITY. He then gives a description of te country in whicn the outlaws live, their mixed breed and mode of living:—Some two or three white men have mar- ried mulatto women and live on places in the neigh- bornood with their wives, and are assisting in the further mixture of the race, ‘the whole race is more or less connected by blood, and some five or six family names constitute the majority of the inhabitants, the Lowrys, the Oxendines and Chavises being the largest in number, It 1s as- serted, and my experience rather goes to prove the assertion, that nearly this whole community are 10 active sympathy with the outlaws—many douvtiess througy fear, others from prejudice and the baiance from tes of fraternity and blood. All, without ex- ception, lend no aid whatever in the capvure of the gang, and never en geod their hiaing piaces or Whereabouts, and will not even mention the fact when they see them until sufficient ume has elapsed to place the outlaws beyond tne reach of pursuit. lt positively affirmed that any movement made by the officers of the law and others to capture the banditt 19 speedily telegraphed by siguals known only to the initiated and,oy divers other means, whereby they are enabled ‘to elude pursuit, and trom this cause ian r tthe.

Ou the 27th of September ther Swatara, an American inan-of-war, arrived at Port au Prince, and at the request of the captaimof the Hornet the commander of the Swatara offered to protect the Hornet from an attack on the part ofthe Spaniards. At this time the repairs of the Hornes had been completed, and the captain, wishing to try her engines, ordered steam to bo got up, for the purpose of proceeding up the bay. The Spantarda thought that she was ABOUT TO MAKE BER ESOAPE; but, as the Swatara was present, no action was taken by them to seize the Hornet. The reason that the Spaniards guarded the Hornet was owing ta the fact that she had’been tried in the Havana court and condemned as @ pirate, ana they were ordered to prevent her leaving Haytien waters, Althougm steam was got up on the Hornet she had no inten- tion of leaving the port, as was afterwards proved. by her returning into the barbor of Port au Prins, having gone as far as Port Lamartine, Om the 27th of September the Swatara left Port au Prince on @ cruise, and the Hornet was again left to shift for herself. Repeated demands were made by the commander of the Churuca for fhe delivery up of the Hornet unmedis PIGS, ed todenounce tie Hornet as @ ptain of the steamer also sent @ @ Spaniards stating that he should hoid them responsible for the detention of his vessel and claim damages accordingly. On the other hand, the Spaniards informed the Hayden govern- almos! invariably follow instead of the roads, and they are by this means enabled to communicate with the oullaws mnch sooner than parties who go the oidinary road to reach any piace at which they may suppose them to be. THE FORCES OPERATING AGAINST THE BANDITTI. Tne volunteers or militia who first went into the field soon deserted the Adjutant General, and nis calls for others were but feebly and unwillingly re- sponded to. He obtained avont ninety in all, and With this force and the co-operation of the United States troops, made several strategic movements. ‘They were given three days’ rations and sent out under proper guides to certain points, put on arriving at the designated ints either they kept no watch for the outlaws or made 50 much noise that their whereabouts, if the hunted Were in the vicinity, were made aware of the fact, and hence could easily evade them. Many of them also, after staying out only one night, quit their comrades, and either returned to camp or proceeded immediately home. Some of the militia were also placed with portions of the troops whose duty it was to watch certain swamps and bays where it was probable the outiaws were hiding, but after getting out of sight of the troops in the evergreens quietly sat down and let the balance of the command move on, and then returned to camp and reported that they “got lost” from the rest. After this attempt 1 despaired of the utility of the militia, and readily Istened to their wish to return home to their wives im the perils of childbirth, sick children, and un- tended crops. There were a few exceptions to this general incompetency, but all promptly de- serted us when permission was granted, After this I determined to attempt the capture of the outlaws with the avatlabie force I nad of volunteers and troops, and trust to fortune and some good op- jeans to lead the gang into our clutches, al- though I knew shat it would be almost an accident f euch an event happened, unless they were be- trayed by some of their class—an event Colonel Wishart and myself endeavored to produce, THE UNITED STATES TROOPS were as efficient as it was possible for them to be, and Colonel Mendenhali, Lieutenants Humphreys aud Harris seemed as anxious to edfect his capture as any of the volunteer force, and used every means suggested by us to that end, Many of tne volun- teers, however, became disheartened at the want of co-operation on the part of the citizens, and gradu- ally abandoned the enterprise, until during the firth week only seven men, includi Colonels Wishart and McLean, remained with us. When this occurred the troops and their commander became also dis- heartened, and I was convinced that with only that nnmber of volunteers, hardly sufficient to act as aides, their efforts were fruitless and would con. tinue such; and baving been sent there to act only when co-operation was had by the citizens, I re- ported the state of affairs to the commanding omicer of ia! erp bag Pacavel ny elle and thus ended she campaign, 1 gc THiclpal in the vicissitudes of th sin ant cndeavel to intuse the people of the section with some of my own determination and confidence; but, .having witnessed $0 many failures, they had become despondent and hopeless of success, and thus ne- giected the best opportanty they had to rid the county of the bandittl That success would have crowned our efforts bad the white citizens actively co-operated with me, I, nor the forlorn hope, who remained to the end, nor the troops, have the least doubt, INTERVIEW WITH THE OUTLAWS. General Gorman says:— “During the first week of my stay in ScuMetown word was sent me by a mulatto messenger from the outlaws that they wisLed to see me and have a con- ference with me. At the time I was rather disposed to refuse to agree to anything of the kind, as I knew it was attended with some hazard, J was, however, anxious to know them, in order that ol future occasions, should we meet, I would ve apie to identify them ‘beyond mistake, After consulta- tion with Colonel Wishart, and on thetr message to the same effect being recelved, 1 concluded to risk ‘an interview and learn the object they had in view in wishing to see me. in @ lew days I was told, alter consenting to meet them, if I would go un- attended through a swamp some three or four miles from camp it was possivie that they would meet me, and on the next day, without In- forming anybody but Colonel Wishart of my in- tention, I prycoeded there unarmed, except with @ repeater, aud unattended. I met them on that oc- casion and had a conversation of over an hour with the entire gang, Which consisted of Henry Berry Lowry, Thomas Lowry, Stepen Lowry, Andrew Strong and Boss Strong, DESCRIPTION OF THE GANG. When I first saw them they were sitting on a lo; awaiting my promised presence. They were al heavily armed, Henry Berry Lowry, tue leader, a Spencer rifle ‘and double-barreled while within his belt ~were five repeaters, The balance of the gang had each two double-barreled guns and from three to five repeaters. All of them, I beileve, also carried @ Bowle knife. Iam told that this is the usual com- plement of arms which they generally carry. They were exceecingly respectful to mo during the inter- view and stated that their object In washing @ con. ference Was to Know if it was possible for me to grant them some terms. They pxpresed them- selves a8 sick ana tired of their manner of life and longed to be free from their progeys perl and yncertaiaty, and stated shat uf ment that they should hold them responsible for depreaations committed by tne Hornet; but they re- piled that, as the Hornet was sailing under the American flag, they had nothing whatever to doin the matter. ‘The Haytien government relics tm- plicitly upon substantial aid from the United States governmext in the event of an attempted seizure, jor the reason that they have not suflicient force ta cope against the Spaniards. As the Horpet has been recognized as an American vessel it will now be seen Whether the American government- will come TO THE RESCUE OF THE HORNET, and thus prevent her flag from being publicly out» raged. In order to get this assistance the ster of Haytl, Mr. Stephen Preston, after receiving offi- clal notice of the Hornet's trouble with the Span- ards, left this city last night tor Washington to con- fer with the government officials there ana to get, if possible, help from this goareet, This same ves- sel, the Churuca, boarded an English vesset, the Beckwith, laden with passengers, bound to Nas- sau, which the captain believed was bound for Cuba. For this act he was cailed upon to apoiogize to the English government; but this he refused to do, and the matter is now in the hands ot that governmen® to decide, The Haytien goverament sent a message to the Spanish Consul prior to his leaving, that they would piace the case of the Hornet im court so that the charge might be investigaled, but this offer was rejectel. The Spanish Consul, in & communication to Mir. Bassett, states that he nas made himseif too oifictous in giving help to all pirates who claimed the protection of the United States, and, to use his own words in his letter, he saya:—! think that the American Minister hag been very bold and thoughtless in assuring the gov- ernment of Hayti that the Hornet deserved proteo- tion, and that he had the proof with him that the: Hornet's papers were sent to the vessel while laying in Hayti.” ‘The Spanish Consal left in the Pizarro, while the Churuca was left in Port au Prince te watch the Hornet’s movements. It 13 said other Spanish vessels of war are lying off Gonaives Istana im the event of the Hornet escaping tne Churuca. The President's absence just now causes much un easiness to the peopie of Hayt, as trouvle is antic pated from the Spaniards. VIEWS OF THE PAST.
