THE DEFENCES OF MATAMOROS. ane Seer neces Trevino Confident of Capturing the City. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Hzmnaxp correspondent in Matamoros hag forwarded us the following special de- idea Mexico, April 29, Via Brownsviiz, Texas, April 29, 1872. General Cevallos, now the Juarez com- jnander in this city, is the same man who in 1869 took young and old men from their homes in Merida (capital of the State of Yucatan) pnd bad them shot without trial, From the commission of that bloody deed he is called ‘The Butcher,’’ and is consequently very much feared and detested by tho people. CEVALLOS THREATENS DEATH. By his order a black flag, bearing a Death's @kull and crossbones, has boen raised, and is now flying from the fortifications of Mata- moros. This demonstration is intended as a warning of the fate awaiting the revolutionists Who should fall into the hands of Cevallos during the attack on the city. INDIGNATION AT “THE BUTCHER'S’? THREAT, The brutal menace of “The Butcher” has called forth much indignation on the American aide; and General McCook, the United States commander in Brownsville, has been en- treated by American citizens, as well as Mexi- cans, to protest against it in the name of divilization, Apprehension is therefore felt that if the attacking army is successful they will show no quarter. General Cevallos con- Siders himself, howover, safo nough in cast- dng this deadly defiance at the revolutionists; for, if beaten, he can flee to Brownsville and hus escape their vengeance, in case they should capture Matamoros. ‘THE DEFENCES OF MATAMOROS. The city is defended by five bastion forte, which are connected by strong parapets en- circling the city, with their flanks on the river. ‘There are lunettes, about one hundred yards in. the rear, situated at intervals between tho forts, The names of the forts are Para dez ‘Monterey, Tturbide and San Fernando on the right, and Torvates on the left, Tho city is defended by a combined force of regulars, National Guard and police, numbering in all 1,500 men. The citizens are acting as police, TREVINO'S ARMY OF INVESTMENT. Despatches have been received showing that ‘Trovifio’s revolutionary camp is five leagues distant from Matamoros. He will set his army ‘in motion to-night and be before the city to- ‘morrow. General Trevino expresses confi- ‘dence in his ability to capture the place. He ‘has 4,000 men and twelve guns ready for the attack on the fortifications. CUTTING OFF REINFORCEMENTS. A small force of revolutionists are near Bag- dad, at the mouth of the RioGrande, They in- tend to captare that place to-morrow, and hold it to prevent the arrival at Matamoros of more government reinforcements by the steamer * Tobasoo, which is now expected, and upon Which the Juaristas partly depend for the de- fence of the city. General Trevifio expects to ‘oaptare the troops on board of her if she should ‘attempt to land them. For this purpose he ‘will send an sdditional force to Bagdad to- morrow. TREVINO’S REAR SECURE. Trevifio has received despatches saying that ‘he need have no fear of the enemy in the rear, ag the royolutionary force commanded by General Pedro Martinez is beyond Saltillo, holding the Juaristas in check and preventing their coming to the rescue of the garrison of ‘Matamoros. A large part of the Juarist troops is, moreover, engaged in keeping down the ‘Lerdistes, who threaten a formidable rising, ‘and cannot, therefore, be spared for active ‘warfare against the revolutionists.

Mempnis, April 20, 1872. Immediately after the termination of the brilliant 4nd successful inauguration meeting of the Louis- lana Jockey Club, at New Orleans, the movement of horses and racing men northward by means of that @igantio stream, the Mississippi, began forthwith, and for several days many of them have been cen- tred in this fine city for the third annual meeting of the Chickasaw Jockey Club, which opened its gates this morning. The racing reunion of Tennes- see promises to be the most interest. ing ever held within its borders. Tho programme is a good and liberal one, as is always the eage in this section, and arrangements for tho event have been in progress on an extensive scale for several months, gnd everything seems favorable for capital sport anda large and fashionable daily attendance, THE COMMODIOUS GROUNDS are in fine order, and, like most of the racing tracks in the South, radiant in exquisitely-formed beds of plants and flowers, These, with tastefully cut shrubbery, are no small attraction in their spring raiment, as they delight the denses of all visitors. IMPROVEMENTS, Many important improvements, looking alike to the beauty of the course and {ts surroundings and the convenience of spectators, have been mado since the last meeting. The buildings and fences appear in & new dress of paint, wearing an aspect. of peatness and freshness that is very enlivening. The accommodations for ladies are on a liberal Beale, and no doubt will more than ever before meet with much approbation, New stands for the Judges and other officials have been erected and ad- ditional stables constructed for the comfortable Keeping of the horses. PLAN OF ADMISSION. There has been quite an important change in the arrangements for admission to the course. The popular plan is the $2 badge, which secures trans- portation to and from the Fair Grounds by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and all the privi- leges of the course. Trains are run at brief intervals throughout the day, ensuring rapid trans- portation. Another form of ticket, which secures the same railway facilities and a place on the public stand, is fixed at the nominal sum of fifty cents. Thus all classes are accommodated and persons of all means provided for. A NEW FEATURE. Arather new feature on the fair grounds is pro- mised, and will be part of each day’s amusement— that is, important “chicken disputes,’ which, by arrangement of the club, will have countenance daily before the races, A commodious pit has been erected and several mains are already arranged, the frst beginning to-day. The District of Colum- bia and the States of Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis- sippl and Alabama are represented by these feathered gladiators. THR ATTENDANCE was very fine, the ladies being out in large num- bers representing much of the beanty of Memphis. While hundreds selected the cars the drives along Popular street turnpike and Union and Cooper ave- nues were well patronized. The Pigeon Roost road also offered attractions for the owners of beautl- ful equipages, and as the country is now pasting on its seasonable attire the drives Th these routes were greatly — enjoyed. he racing to-day was not of a character to call out an immense crowd, as Blind Tom was supposed to have an easy thing at the hurdles, and Capé Race was looked to win the Trial Stakes, and in the mile and a quarter few were willing to bet against Euchre, and thus there was but little pool selling on the ground. Race ran away threo miles before the start, but the Judges gave him {twent; minutes to recover, when he won his race in hand. ‘The track was slow, but very safe, THE SWEEPSTAKES HURDLE RACE. The first heat was a sweepstake hurdle race of two miles; subscription $ half forfeit, the club to add $400; welter weights; there were seven entries, but only three came to the post. These were W. Jennings’ brown horse Blind Tom, | Star Da- vis,dam Margravine, 143 pounds; Ed. Harrison's chestnut gelding Templar, by Bulletin, dam by Ambassador, 135 pounds, and H. Gaffney’s brown filly Mary SF agape by sTipperary, dam Olio, 129 pounds. Blind Tom was a great favorite over the fleld. He won @ capital race, being beaten for a mile and a half b; ry Hennessy. The following are the details of the THE RACE, Mary Hennessy was first away, Blind Tom second Templar third. In this way oy jumped the first hurdle, which was located eighty yards from the stand, At the second hurdie, stationed at the quarter pole, Mary Henness: led three lengths, Blind Tom six lengths in front of Templar. The latter appeared to have no Tun in him, and made no effort to keep up with the others. Mary Hennessy at the third hurdle, which was at the half-mile pole, was two lengths ahead of Blind Tom, and seemed to be running easily, while Tom appeared to be laboring, Templar far behind, and when the latter came to the hurdle he refused it and wheeled, It was some time before he took the leap, and when he did It was only to refuse In at the same place on the second round, and did not come home. Mary Nennessy led for a mile and three-quarters, but as she came into the home stretch for the last jeap and run home she began to nd and Blind Tom went up and passed her, coming In a winner by four lengths, making the two miles in 4:02jg.

In the face of his runaway, he was heavily backed after this race to beat Jo Dantes, and Mr. Belmont’s Gray Planet at Jerome Park in June, The following are details :— THE RACE. First Heat—Cape Race jumped away with the lead, but Bracelet soon took sides with him, and they ran yoked around the upper turn, down the back- stretch and around the lower turn, and here the filly was in trouble, Oape Race began to draw Vay ea, her, when her jockey resorted to the whip, but the great colt came away on a strong fae and won the heat by lengths, in Second Heat.—The horses had a capital start and went around the turn head and head. They were yoked at the quarter pole, Race be ulled double. Going down the backstretc! hey ran side and _ side, and were parallel at the half-mile pole, so that a blanket would have covered them both.
