tinn which he lulled two days before Mr Seward
saw fit to warn him against the danger, in which he
declared his determination, as far as the means at
his command would allow, " that the citizens should
deposit their ballots without the intervention of
force from any quarter ;" that a "fair and free
election should be held, and that no elector should
be prevented by threats, intimidation, the obstruc-
tion of the polls, or by force from the discharge of
his duty as a freeman." The Mayor was doubtless
impelled to adopt this course by the unwarrantable
order of Major-General John A. Dix, the officer in
command of the Federal troops in the military de-
partment of New York and New England—founded
upon a rumour as vague and possibly as unfounded
as that of Mr. Soward'a informants, that large
parties of Southern refugees and others were pre
pared to cross from Canada on Tuesday next int o
the States of Maine, Vermont, and New York, and
cast fictitious and il'egal votes for General M'Clel-
lan. In order to prevent such a consummation,
General Dix made known his intention to take
military possession of all the p filling places on the
CAnadian frontier. This was so palpable an insult
to the Governors of the Border States, so gross an
assumption, that they were either unable or un-
willing to perform the duties of their office either
to prevent or pueish an offence attempted against
them, and not attempted against the Federal Go-
vernment, t'aat Governor Seymour deemed it neces-
sary to issue a counter proelatnation,in which with-
out mentioning the name of General Dix, he quietly
but effectually disposed of his pretensiOn-o—exere
vise illegal power in the state of New York. "The
existence of a terrible civil war," said Mr Seymour,
" and the assertion of the right of military com-
manders in seine sections of our country to
interfere with elections, have caused p sinful
and exciting doubts in the mind of many
with regard to the free and untrammelled exercise
of the elective franchise." Though assuming it to
be highly improbable that the rights of the citizens
of Now York would be denied or invaded at the
polls, the Governor expressly notified the sheriffs of
the various counties that it was " their duty to see
that no military or other organised forces should be
allowed to show themselves in the vicinity of the
places where elections were held, with a view of
menacing or intimidating citizens in attendance
thereon," and that in case of such interference they
were " to exercise the full force of law, and call
forth, if need be, the whole power of their dis-
tricts." Although the Republican journals affected
to consider this proclamation to be treasonable, arid
a direct provocation to the violence which it depre-
cated, Mr Lincoln and Mr Stanton became alarmed
for the consequences which a suspicion of foul play
might entail. The excess of zeal which General
Die had displayed, and which alone had drawn
forth the rejoinder of Governor Seymour, was
doing mischief. It was placing the Democratic
party and their candidates on the side of law and
order, and depriving Mr Lincoln of thous Inds of
votes which ho might otherwise have hoped to
secure. Intimations were, therefore, conveyed to
General Dix to modify or withdraw his threats,
The General obeyed, and in a " General Order,"
No. 85, addressed to the various Provost-Marshals
and their deputies in his district, he informed those
functionaries that no military force was to be sta-
tioned at or in the vicinity of the polling■places,
and there was to be no interference of any kind
with the rights of suffrage. If the local autho-
rities should call for their aid to keep the
peace, he authorised and required them to give it,
but impressed upon them, at the same time, that
they wore in all cases to act in strict subordination
to the civil power. And lest his recantation should
be too complete, and the dignity of his office should
appear to suffer, he reiterated his previous state-
ment with regard to Southern Refugees, and warned
such offenders that, after the election, the greatest
vigilance would be exercised in regard to all per•
sons crossing the frontier into Canada. Thus the
General withdrew, not ungracefully, from a false as
well as dangerous position, leaving to Governor
Seymour and the local and municipal authorities
the honours and advantages of the controversy. The
only circumstance that tends to diminish the antis»
faction of the Democratic party with this result is
the unexpected arrival in New York of Major-
General Butler. Having no present duty to dis.
charge under Lieutenant-General Grant. at Peters-
burg, or the Dutch Gap Canal, he appears to have
been despatched by the President to aid General
Dix, in case Mr. Seward's information about the
firing of New York (and the Hudson river) should
turn out to be correct. Whether he is to act as
chief of the Fire Brigade, or as a detective—and a
very smart one—or whether he is to supersede
General Dix is not stated. A Washington news-
paper, however, hints awful things as likely to
ensue from his presence in this disloyal and Copper-
head city. It states, in phraseology not the most
clear or elegant, that " this distinguished teacher of
the neutral and Secesh sympathising, as well as the
openly rebellious, having had interviews with the
President and Air. Stanton, has proceeded to New
York city, where ho will be stationed for the pre•
sent. This makes assurance doubly sure that any
of the traitors of that great emporium, now so
infested with the enemies of the Union, will be
checkmated, and treated as they deserTe to be."

tion ; and not alone his vote, but his influence and
his excess of zeal, are all to be cast in the scale in
favour of Mr Lincoln, who in his cool and philoso-
phic mood he thinks ought not to be re-elected.
Both parties continue to manifest the utmost con-
fidence tbat their candidates will be elected. But Mr
Lincoln holds the winning cards. The opposition in
Tennessee has nn wisely given up the game, and,
rather than take the test oath of Governor Johnson,
has resolved to let the election go by default, for
which Mr Lincoln will doubtless be very much
obliged. Louisiana, Maryland, Kentucky, and
Miseouri are considered safe under military mani-
pulation. To strengthen himself in the States, and
gain three electoral votes out of the 117 which wi'l
be necessary to give him the majority, he has by
proclamation admitted the territory of Nevada as a
new State in the Union to date from the Ist inst.
The law requires that a certified copy only,
signed and sealed, of the constitution of any
State desiring admission into the Union should
be deposited at Washington as a preliminary to
the consideration of its claim; but in the
case of Nevada there was so little time to lose
that the Constitution was telegraphed to Washing-
ton from the base of the Rocky Monntains at an
expense of 4,000 dols. With the exception of a
slight disturbance at Philadelphia and another at
Baltimore, where a crowd of minor officials and
others succeeded in breaking up a meeting in favour
of Gen. M'Clellan, everything as yet bas passed off
quietly ; and no one appears to entertain auy serious
apprehension of riot or even of disturbance.

BREAKPAST BEVERA.GE.—Homoeopathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homeopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to bo obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. .T. Epi.s, of London,
Homeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year is is to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in
being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its
Adulterations," says —"Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined Alb., Ob., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
g,•rooers, onfectioners, and chemists.- [April

from southeast to north.west, and was felt at Vera

Cruz about eight minutes before we were sensible of

it at Mexico. How far north it extended is not as
yet known, but it is said to have been felt at
Morelia. In Puebla the tower of the church of San
Augustin, a part of the convent of Sau Juan de
Dias, and several houses were shaken down, and,
what is still more to be lamented, 30 persons have

either been killed or wounded. In Tehuacan the
wall orthe Convent del Carmen has been shaken to

its very foundation, and the church is in ruins. The
hospital of San Juan de Dias and its church has
suffered severely, and almost every house is in such
a state that, had the shock lasted a second or two

longer, the whole town must have been destroyed,

and with it the greater portion of its inhabitants.

The towns of Cosoatlan, Teotitlan del Camino, Zao

patitlan, San Andres Chalehieamula, and the sure

rounding pueblos have also been very severely
handled. Orizaba is also said to have suffered much,
although no lives were lost. The city of Mexico
fortunately escaped with a good shaking; no
damage of consequence was done. This is the most
_ _

severe shock that has been felt since June, 1858,
and it is to be hoped that many years will elapse
before such another may be experienced.
There is little news from the interior. Mata 4
moras was occupied by General Mejia on the 26. h
of September, without a shot beiug fired. Cortina,
who only two days previously had published a most

warlike proclamation, calling upon the inhabitants

to make g defence worthy cf their ancient renown,

and promising to place himself at their head, was,
of course, the first to surrender. The victory gained
by Colonel Martin at Estanguala has completely
dispersed the only force which still remained faith-
ful to Juarez in that part of the empire. Letters
from Durango state that the troop of Ortega and
Patoui are disseminated into groups of fugitives;
that whole companies daily lay down their arms ;
and that the number of officers who had already
made their submission was very considciable.
Admiral Mazieres had taken :be commend of the

Pacific fleet, and it is expected that active opera.
tions will at once be commenced against Mazatlan)
San B:Cs, and other ports on that coast.
