We have before US, says the n. o. Data Of
the 9Th inst, flies Of the -Ansrioan Flag to the
2sth ult.
The Flag gives a list OF inlerments within
the city Of Brownsville during the recent cpl
demic. The number is 229, which, the Flag
SAYS, would Be increased to over 800 BY the IL
terments without the city limits.
Speaking Of the case Of Judge WaTous, the
FIG makes the following remarks:
To our mind the very dread Of coming 70 trial
before the Senate Would be conviction Of valid
reason for the charges, If we had no other
ground for the belief. Certain Il is the accu-
sations Of his guilt are known wherever the
proceedings Of Congress are read, and here in
Texas, where the alleged outrsges are said 20
have been committed, we are morally certain
that a majority Of the people deem him guilty.
b expression Of this opinion in this STATE is
no new thing, as the records Of at least three
OF its legislative assemblies viii declare. This
fact is lot unknown to Judge Watrous himself.
Now does i not seem apparent that the Judge
fears an i-nyesigation2 or why labor so ztal-
ous!y 10 prevent The necessity Of meeting his
a~ccusers at the only tribunal before which Ais
guilt can Be legally proven or bis Innocence
Vndicated Alarge portion Of the community
believe the charges which his acelscrs iterate
| against him, and we feel convinced that there
are a Few persons who, having a consciousness
Of innocence, would suffer their name and Off
cial reputation 10 long remain under his odium
when a prompt and nationwide vindication of
bob was so easy Of access.
The Flag notices the evidence Of a kindly
disposition on the part Of the Mexican author
tiles al Monterey, in acting promptly and ef-
fectively in the matter Of some horses stolen
from the American side Of the Rio Grande.
The following Mexican news is from the
Flag, Of the 29h:
We have dates from Victoria TO the 18th, and
from Tampico to the same date. The Rife, Of
Victoria, announces that the expected con-
ference between Governors Vidaurri and Cara
had taken place, though the result had not vet
been made public, but it understands that II
has all been directed 20 the important end that
Nueyo Leon and Coahuila with Tamaulipas
shall unite for the purpose Of combating the
Reachonists everywhere to the interior Of the
Republic.
The RifC has received intelligence from the
interior, 10 the effect that a certain commander,
MarQuez, Of the Reactiouists. had been re-
pulsed from the bridge of Calderon, with the
loss Of four pieces Of artillery ard a consider
able number Of his force. Il saws that Mira
mon, on the receipt Of the news, had ordered
Marquez not 10 undertake any other movement
until he himself coulc per~0nally directthe ope-
rations. Miramon iE said TO rely on $500 men,
while the bridge Is Offended BY : 600 men, not
counting the force under Degollado IN Guada-
lsiaras or thosu Of Huerta or Arteaga, which
are now united with those at he bridge under
Gen. Rocha. Miramon announces that on the
6th Of December he wOuld Be on Gaudalaiara,
but, says he Ride, without doubt be has en-
countered a plss more difficult than that at
Atenquique, and thus he has found impossible

rison Of only 500 men, but so pent up within

the nature Of which is not given, but which the
Rife SAYS IL viii lay before the public in due
time.
Gen. Kidsurri, after terminating the confer
ence with Gov. Cara, had returned 10 Mon
terey.
The Prisma, Of Tsmpico, publishes a lengthy
letter from the City Of Mexico, dated Deem
Der II, which represents the adherents Of Zu-
loagasas being IN the greatest CONSERVATION.
Il SAYS that the Liberals have a wel-concerted
plan For taking the capital, which can hardly
fal Of success that the Reactionists are fortf-
Tying every inlet in the city, in anticipation Of
another attack; that the great mass Of the peo-
pie Of the city are prepared TO side with the
Liberals, and that the whole Of the south Of
Mexico was in arms against the ZuloGguistas.
CuernaFaca and the enEirons Of the capital
were swarming with the forces Of the Liberals,
and the priests OF the city were p~rOclaiming
that their sacred plsces were soon to be robbed
BY their enemies.
Col. Garcia, writing from lula, under date
~ Dlcembcr 9TH, announces that Gen. Meiia
had been defeated az Slnta Maria de Omiaico
BY Gems. Huerta and Pueblita. Meiia is said
to have been badly wounded in a Leg. He was
taken into Quere-sro.
From present indications, the cause Of the
ConstitutICnalists Is certainly not so hopeless
as certain persons would fain 10 have Il 10 be.
With the formal recognition Of ST. Maia, as
The accredited representative Of the Mexican
Republic at The capital Of the United States, it
NAV BE- some time before the Church party will
be enabled TO "re-kindle the fires on their
affairs, as Muamon is said BY one Of our citi-
