THE DAILY UNION



The New Orleans papers Of the llth instant, an
nounce the arrival of the schooner Palestine, which
sailed from Portau. Prince on the 18th ult. The
revolution in Hayt is complete. The new Presi-
dent Richie took his oath Of Office on the Oath. The
oath was simply "You swear 10 the nation To fulfil
faithfully the Office of President OF Hayu; to main
tain with all your power the constitutions to respect
and to make respected the rights and the indePend-
ence of the Hayden people" Richie is said to be a
man of considerable energy, and very popular among
the troops IL was thought that, notwithstanding
the anatchy and confusion which have 80 long pre-
vailed 10 the island, he will be able to establish
some kind Of government. Immediately after his
appointment as President, he proclaimed Port-au-
Prince under martial law, and marched for the Cape
at the head of 1000 men to repress some demonstra-
tons which had taken place in favor Of President
Pierrot Not word was said in his inaugural adj
dress of the Dominican party.
An "accidsnt"-so the Haytens call it-oceurred
at the Cape on the Oath Of March. In cleaning a
gun on Hayden vessel of war, 1t was accidentally
discharged. The ball passed across the French
steamer Of war lie Tonnene, between two sailors,
but did no harm. Capt. Delacour, Of the Tonnerre,
had Haytien officer and sailor well logged for
this This offence came near costing two French
sailors al the Cape their lives and the Haytiens say
they wonder the batteries on shore did not at once
sink the Tonnerre. The Frenchpan seems to have
adopted 4 summary remedy against such "aecidents"
on the part of the Hsytiens in future.

"CAMP ON THE Rio GRAsDE,
uOpposite Matamoras, March %, 1874
To the Editor ofihe Nep Orleans Jsfsrsonian:

Sir: have heard today many men in New Or
leans specializing the idle report that General
TAYLOR had retreated-or fallen back-from the
threatening aspect of the Mexican cannon al Mata-
morass Such is not the That gallant old SOL
der may desire to avoid the impuaton Of forcing
contest; but no is justi6able in mputing to him
fear of collision with any force in the north of
Mexico.
Others have expressed apprehension that he
ventures too much with only a small force of 3 500
men, That such fears should be entertained in
New Orleans is really surprising, and shows how
unobservant they have been of passing events.
will mention few facts that may tend to calm the
nervous system of those who much concerned
for the honor Of American arms. In 1888 Reuben
Ross-an aid of mne-crossed the Rio Grande with
27O Americans, and about 700 federal Mexlcans,
then in revolt. He attacked Comargo and took 400
prisoners, the federal Mexcans not taking part in
the action. He remained seventeen days on the
west bank of the river, and approached Matamoras
with impunity. At that time the Mexican force In
the city was estimated at $500.
At a subsequent period-in 1640-Colonel Jordan
crossed the Rio Grande in conjunction with the fed
eraIists. He went 300 miles into the interior
with 10 men. Then he was betrayed by the fed
eralists, and attacked. He repused the attack, and
made good his retreat to Texas with loss of about
40 men.
When the Meir expedition crossed into Mexico,
they had about 600 men. Division took place, and
a large part returned. The balance-numbering
about 350-were attacked at Mer. They actually
defeated the Mexicans; but owing to the want of
proper command, they surrendered
could give some other instances but write in
haste, and think that what have stated will re-
ieve those who fear for the fate of General Taylor,
with only $500. At each of the times have men,
toned Mexico was actually stronger in force at the
north than she is now; and it should be borne in
mind that the men under Ross, Jordan, and Fisher,
were without uniformity of arms, without dIsci-
pline. and badly supplied. | will only add that
General Taylor has too large force to gain much
honor with any force Mexico can assemble north of
Zacatecas. That he and his brave soldiers will
merit honor, no one ought to doubt.

TAKING TINE BY THE FoRRLoCK.

The unchanged and Interchangeable" wings oil
New York seem quite resolved to lose nothing by
delay At the recent festival dinner in celebration
Of the birthday of Mr.. Clay, most of the speakers,
il not all of them, avowed their determination to
make Mr.. Clay the wing candidate in the next pres
idential election.
The editor Of the Tribune alone appears to have
been troubled with some ugly doubts. While his
companions were avowing that the wing party
could be united on no other human being on Gods
fsot-stool than Henry Clay" Mr.. Greeley was CON-
PEELED to admit that if to him were presented the
alternative, "defeat with Clay success with some
other good whig," he would feel obliged to take the
other man.
Certainly we have no wish to interfere in any
arrangements for ls4s, which these wing gentlemen
may now see fit to make. Ii they are rather too
much in hurry, that is no affair Of ours. We like
the present turn of their views very well. Mr.
Clay will, we doubt not, in ls4s, make very CAPT
tai candidate--to beat.
The following sentence, however, from the Rich
mond Times in relation to this subject strikes us as
bsing rather too unmsrcful hit the whig states
man, considering that he Is now in the retirement Of
private life. The Times says:
''And if it were possible hereafter to make the
Jus; atonement for the ingrafiiuds rhich the people
hare so frequently exhibited to,rards Mr. Clay we
should rejoice at the event the most propitious
which could befall the country"

these statements are of the facts' We withdrew our
squadrons from Vera Cruz, when Mr.. 'slidell ar
rived in Mexico, about the 5th Of December. Our
troops did not advance an inch towards the Rio

ticate, and show an unwillingness TO receive our
minister.

reelected Presdent of the republic. We renonstra-

We have advanced our troops on our own soil upon
the banks Of the Rio Grande, to look after the Mex
leans, who threatened US from Matamoras. We sent
small squadron TO protect our minister and our
coun,rymen, both by sea and land. Our troops and
our squadron were distinctly instructed TO respect
the rights Of the Mexicans-to use no force-not to
FIRE gun except we were attacked. Our minister
was detained in Mexco-we spared no means to
adjust the differences with Mexico-we risked even
a little character lest we might shut the door too
hastily, and cut off the last hope of negotiation. 1t
