WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
New Orleans papers, received here, contain
the particulars of the defeat of Vidaurri by
Miriman. The former was not ON the field
when the engagement commenced, and his
army appears to have been attacked when
least apprehensive and prepared for it.
The runners at Brownsville were that the
defeated army lost 500 men killed and that
200 of them were taken prisoners, with their
artillery and provisions. An express from
Monterez to Matamoras, however, says their
loss is not so great, and that only portion of
the artillery and ammunition was captured by
Miriman's forces, and that the Liberal party
made their retreat from the field in good
ORDER
An official paper received at Monterey says
that Vidaurr has already sent orders to the
commander at Tampico for another park of ar
tillery, where there is plenty to be had, which
will soon be in the field, together with the
other forces concentrating about Vidaurri.
To renew the attack, Col. Gaudaloupe Garar-
il was to leave Tampico on the 18th for the in
terror with 400 infantry and three pieces of ar
tillery

1t is great mistake, says the New York

The Ssreat Eastern Steamship.

A prospectus is ont for the Great Eastern
Steamship Company, limited in the capital of
1880, 900. The object Of this company, it is
scarcely necessary to mention, is to complete
the Great Eastern, Or Leyiathan steamship,
which now lies as a shilling peep show above

and rotunditious. 1t was recorded in the
court papers, months since, as victim of
the Marquis of Clanclarde, that the Great
Eastern was built so large purely with view
to the accommodation of the crinolinc or steel
hoops
Returning to the project, the proposal is to
raise e33 900 in the like number of shares OF
6 each. In the prospectus it is set forth that
the ship has already cost t64O,0O0, anu has
incurred debt of 100000. With f240,-
900 additional expended on her, it is hoped
that she can be sent to sea, and, as the
projectors of this new scheme say realize
fabulous amount for the shareholders. The
estimate made by the prospectus is, that she
will make eight voyages to America (eIther to
New York or Portland) during the year, and
that her nett earnings will be tlo3,2OO.

GrOans of the Wounded.

The Washington Union, organ of the BUcH-
ANAN Administration and the bog,ls Democra-
cy, fairly howls with rage at the result of the
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana elections and
formally reads DOUGLAS, FoRSEY & Co., out
of the party. Hear the Union
We have encountered heavy reverses in
Pennsylvania, which would discourage any
but the Democratic party. Excuses are not
remedies, and we shall not, therefore, invoke
them. We have been badly beaten by ex-
tended detection in our own ranks-beaten,
we regret to say, precisely at the time that
the evil policy of the opposition was most
deeply felt all over the country. Our friends
have struggled with intestine difficulties and
with the open enemy, who were encouraged to
renewed efforts in consequence of the quar-
rels in our own party. 1t is undoubtedly true
too, that the question of revision of the tarii!
on the basis of direct protection to special in
terests had much to do in procuring votes for
the opposion. They professed to be the pecu-
liar friends of protection and to have it in their
power, if elected, to aid the people of Penn
sylvania We shall be able hereafter to test
the soundness of the judgment that would
thus strike down the men of Pennsylvania
who can best subserve the true interests of
that State, in order to give place to handful
of political spectators who really have no
power to benefit honest industry.
With those Democrats who have leagued
with the enemy and given them the victory,
we can have no faith or alliance. In looking
over the field, Douglas and his Forneys may
find cause for rejoicing and self laudations
They may glory alike in their own shame and
the defeat of the noble old party, which. they
have betrayed and abandoned. 1t is their
work, and they may claim from their new al
lies full compensation for the services they
have rendered. They and the Black Republi-
cans have been faithful co-workers beginning
with Judge Douglas attack on President
Buchanan's Administration at the commence
ment of the last session of Congress, and
ending at their present joint and ingorious
victory. They have fought well and success
fully together. Let them together rejoice,
and in common prepare for the final doom
that awaits alike the original enemies and the
recent deserters of the Democratic party.
