The Herarp correspondent at the head quarters of the revolutionists in Northern Mexico has forwarded ns the following special despatch: Heapquarrers Trevino’s Army, l Reynosa, Mexico, May 6, Via BrowNsviti, Texas, May 7, 1872. | A visit by your correspondent to this (revo- lutionary) camp plainly reveals to him the iy their attack on Matamoros has so ignomini- ously failed. state of Trevifio’s forces, and the reason w! The number of the revolutionists at the out- set of the attack has been variously reported, but, whatever may have been their original strength, I have by gained the information that their present num- ber is far inferior to what it was stated to be at first. I counted the troops of Trevifio as they were moving out this morning, and find that he has now only eleven cannon, 700 infantry and 400 cavalry at his disposal. The balance have deserted, singly or in small bands, and are carrying on depredations on the peaceable inhabitants. TREVINO'S ARMY IN A TERRIBLE STATE. personal observation The scattered army is completely demoral- ized and destitute of the most immediate necessaries of life, such as food and clothing, &c. The officers are dismounted and shoeless, and the few animals left can hardly walk. The men, being without pay and food, are stealing or begging. All the horses and cattle of this part of the country have been swept away, and the revolutionists are now without the means of swift escape and in great fear of pursuit by the forces of General Cevallos. Should the government troops at this moment appear this force would dissolve and abandon wagons, artillery and all the war material. TREVINO DISAPPOINTED. It is evident that General Trevifio never intended to make an attack on Matamoros. His force was. at the best not large enough to invest the city or even oppose in open field the reinforced garrison of Cevallos. He was deceived by the report that the National Guard would prove false to the gov- ernment and open the gates of the city to him. But, instead of this expected aid, the National Guard of Matamoros vied with the | regular troops in their determination to defend the fortifications. When thus undeceived General Trevifio retired and gave up the attempt of capturing the city. {TREVINO TO THE HERALD CORRESPONDENT. In conversation with your correspondent, General Trevifio said that President Juarez is certain to be overthrown by this or another revolution. He predicts that, in case of the failure of the present rising, a more formida- ble one would break out soon afterwards. But your correspondent has ascertained by mingling with his officers and men that they have no confidence in their commander or the success of the revolution. Nor is there any ground for the exaggerated reports of the strength of the revolutionists in the in- terior of the country. The truth is that there is no revolutionary force of any magnitude. There are only small bands existing in the various States. Their avowed object is war against the Juarez gov- ernment; but their principal occupation con- sists in preying on the people. DIAZ BELIEVED DEAD. It is the general opinion among the revolu- tionary leaders here that General Porfirio Diaz is dead, and that the report of his being in Jalisco is untrue, There is nothing known of the government operations in the interior, nor are there any signs of any Juarist force coming hither. By Present appearances the government with 2,000 troops could pacify the whole northern frontier of the republic. THE DEATH BLOW TO THE REVOLUTION. Many commissioners from the interior have arrived at Trevifio’s headquarters. They ex- pected to buy arms after Matamoros was taken by, the evolutionists. They now regard the failure to capture the city we the death blow to the revolution. Part of Trevifio’s iroops have just started for Camargo. Trevifio says that they will re- NEW YUKK HEKA aD, WEDNESDAY.

They will doubtless go to Monterey. Cortina, the Patron of the Mexican Cattle Thieves, Removed—Cevallos in Pursuit of the Revolutionists. General Cortina, so long in command on this line, who has been the patron and sup- porter of the Mexican cattle thieves in their raids on the Texan border, has been relieved and ordered to proceed to the City of Mexico. This action of the government will do much towards stopping the depredations in Texas. General Cevallos will move out soon in pur- suit of the revolutionists. The telegraph constructors will commence repairing the line to Reynosa to-morrow. The Revolutionists Marching on Ca- margo—Juarez Recovering the Whole Country. Matamoros, May 7, 1872. The revolutionists broke camp yesterday near Reynosa and are returning to Camargo. General Cevallo will disband the national guard to-morrow, as their services are no longer required. Arrivals to-day from the in- terior report nothing of interest. General Rossa holds Zacatecas. General Correilles’ forces hold the city and State of San Louis Potosi. The government is gradually recovering the whole country Tre- viiio’s and Quirroga’s forces are the only ones lately under the insurgents’ control. of any importance i in Northern Mexico.

The time of the Chesapeakes was 19m. 20s. and of the Undines 20m. 10s. The race atte@eted a very large crowd of spectators, among whom were many from the neighboring cities. Considerable money changed hands on the result. The race took place at four o'clock, the boats starting from a stake opposite the boathouses, picts down the river one and a half miles, round- ing separate buoys and returning over the same course. The river was literally crowded with small craft, and a number of the naval officers stationed here witnessed the contest from the deck of a United States steamtu, ‘The race was for a magnificent set of colors for bow and stern.

LIVINGSTONE. titi (From the Toronto Globe, May 4.) It would seem there is good ground for believing that Dr, Livingstone is safe, and likely soon to be in Sngiand. The telegraph from Bombay conveys the intelligence that the vessel Abydos, that took | the Livingstone search expedition to Zanzibar, has brought news that the Doctor had met with Mr. Stanley, the correspondent of the New York HERALD, and that both were safe in the interior. We have been so often deceived, however, by ru- mors of one kind and another that it will be as well not to be too excited and enthusiastic over the in- telligence till something more definite and rellable comes to hand, It is very evident that no letter must as yet have | come from the Doctor himself, for Dr. Kirk would | never have allowed the opportunity of the Abydos going to Bombay without forwarding such a pre- cious and assuring document, along with some com- | munication from himself detatling the circumstances sofaraa known. There isnot a hint of anything like this having been done, or any message from Dr. Kirk at all, Rumor may have been busy, but ru- mor is proverbially unrellable; and while, there- fore, we would be most anxious to persuade our- selves that the story is perfectly authentic, we wait further confirmation before being persuaded that there is not the slightest mistake this time. Should it turn out to be the fact, as we unfeignedly trust it will, that Livingstone comes among us again as alive from the dead, what an amount of in- formation he will have to give and what a lion he will be! And in that case also the New York HERALD Will richly merit the applause and grati- tude of the world in having so energetically and snecessfully come to the rescue of one who had been given up as lost. Not a few ridicule the story of the HeRALp’s having @ commissioner in Africa at all, and affirm that all its narratives of adventure by Stanley have been concocted in New York. This is far from the fact. There can be no question that there is snch a man as Mr. Stanley, and that he has | been on the track of Dr. Livingstone for some time. Whether all his representations and narratives are genuine is quite another question, Time will speed- ily try; and if the world has been too sceptical of the HERALD and its doings, no doubt it will be ready | to make the amende honorable in due time, {From the Titusville (Pa.) Herald, May 6.] Dr, Livingstone, the great explorer of Africa, long ago missing and supposed to be dead, has at lust turned up again. The discovery of his whereabouts: ought to have been the work of the learned seten- title societies of Europe or of the English govern- ment.
