From Mexico.

A private letter received in New York,
by the steamer Eagle gives the following
information relative to the operations OF the
French in Mexico:
Half of the troops which were to compose
the expedition (about 1900 men) had
arrived and were ordered Immediately to
Orizaba. The presence Of General Forey
had impaired new activity to military
operations, and the forti6cations erected
around Vera Cruz had been completed.
They consist of small brick fort built on
the top of Mount Borrigc, mounted With
four rifed guns, and of another earthwork
situated on the northwest side of Orizaba,
and commanding both the city and the road
leading to Jesu- Maria and Ell Ingenio. 1t
was generally believed that General Forey
had made choice of Orizaba as the basis of
his operations, which he intended to extend
as far as Jalapa but in consequence OF the
delays produced by the slowness OF the
arrivals of French troops, it Was thought
that the expedition would not be ready to
march upon Mexico before the fore part OF
December next. The news Of tho loss sus-
tanned by the French force, both on ship
board and on shore, in consequence Of the
vomito, is said to be greatly exaggerated.

A New Phase of the Slave Trade.

The Washington Star says: We have
reliable Information from parties, just from
Cuba, that the steamer Blanche, on her late
trip from Texas to the port of Mulatto,
carried, in addition to her cargo Of cotton,
quite number of Texan slaves, with their
owners, who promptly sold them to Cuban
planters, and also that several secession
families arriving from New Orleans are
bringing With them numbers Of slaves.
II will be remembered that the steamer
Blanche ran her cargo to Cuba under the
British flag, not previously known for many
years to have carried a cargo of slaves for
the Cuban market. A special man-of:war
the Biasco de Garay, is said to have landed
more or less of the slaves, entering the
island from the vicinity of New Orleans.

The Harper's Ferry Investigation.

The report of the Harper's Ferry Mill
tary Committee is published. Gen. White,
Coils. D'Utassy and Trumble are acquitted
of oil blame for the surrender. 1t finds
that Col. Ford was given by Col. Miles
discretionary power to abandon Maryland
Heights, but that with the exercise Of this
discretion he conducted the defense with no
ability, and that his exhibition OF lack Of
capacity disquali6es him for command
Col. Miles is convicted of incapacity and
criminal neglect especially in neelecting to
fortify and hold Maryland Heights, the
key of the position. The evidence con-
cerning his course is such as to raise the
strongest suspicious of treacbery. General
Wool is grsvely censured for placing so
incapable an officer an Col. Miles in COM
mand.

An Important Expedition Under Gen. Baan.

AN 4mpottA0b 0APoo4tA0o V0oet oe0. 0e00.
Col. Forney makes the following highly
important statsment 10 his letter of the
2sth, to the Philadelphia Pres:
The departure of Maj. Gen. Banks for
New York, on Monday afternoon, there to
open his headquarters, and to organize the
great expedition about to be Get on foot
under his command, marks one of the most
important epochs of this war. Various
copjectures, near aud wide of the truth,
will, of course, be hazarded as to the design
and destination of this important expedi-
ton. Information derived from various
sources and inferences from sundry facts
induce me to believe that the following viii
be found, substantially, the aim aud our
pose of this new movement. The attention
of the Government of the United States
has, for long time been earnestly directed
towards Texas, and the importance of ex.
tending military operations to restore the
Federal authority in that State has been
strongly and persistently urged by several
delegations of loyal Texans, under the
solemn assurance that large portion of
the people of Texas are only awaiting al
opportunity to return to their allegiance,
and establish within their boundaries one
or more free States, thus putting under pro.
gressive control and civilized cultivation the
entire empire which declared its indpend.
euce Of Mexico nearly thirty years ago, and
was sealed to the United States in 1914.
To accomplish this vast design will un-
doubtedly be the object of the expedition
under Gen. Banks. Only two weeks ago
an expedition also looking towards Texas
after first clearing the Mississippi of rebe
obstructions, was entrusted to Maj. Genera
John a. McClernand, of Illinois, who ii
now in the Western States earnestly en-
gagged in its organization. The concurrent
movement on the serboard, headed by Gen
Banks, and looking to the same object, aftel
having been long and favorably considered
by the military authorities, has now beer
formally decided upon. Texas wrestet
from tie rebels, and loyal government
organized at its capital and throughout th'
State, will be an immense gain to tn
Republic, and fatal blow to the rebellion
The commercial and political results of tn
reconquest of Texas will surpass in impsrt
ance any and everything heretofore at
tempted in this war.

Wool Growing.

We had the pleasure, last week, Of look
ing at fine lot of sheep, owned by Mr..
Steele, of Bloomington. The flock num-
bers about two hundred. Among them We
noticed several fine wooled fellows, which
we considered of the best blood. Mr..
Steele intends to increase his flock BY ad-
ding several fine animals from Eastern
farms. When the We see the wool business
entered into in this manner, it looks to Us
as if it might be profitable. 5-ar
Geo. W. Collamore is daily expected
home from his Eastern trip, where he has
been to purchase sheep. He has spared no
money, We are sure, to make his selections

"a There was quite an excitement in

rumor which had got aaoat that Quantrill

EE "The Chinese wall around the trade

erected by Congress in the passage Of the
present tariff, would seem to be pretty easily
scaled. The "utter prohibitory duties' do
not seem to keep out the prohibited articles.

House are enormous. The consumption Of
the articles formerly free, but now burdeued
with high duties, does not seem to. have

disappointed, and the expectations Of those
who framed the new revenue bill have been

Vengeance Taken on the Indians.
SALr LAKE Cry, Oct

Salt LAKE CITY, Oct. 20.
Col. Conner's regiment of California
volunteers has arrived here, and are located
at Camp Fort Douglas, three miles west of
this city. Major McGary, in command of
two companies, was sent from Ruby Valley
to Humbolt river to chastise the Indians
who murdered the emigrants this fall
They captured twenty-six between Gravelly
Ford and the City of Rocks, holding "a as
hostages. Others were sent to bring in the
murdercrs, with the understanding that if
they were not back by specified time, the
remaining "a would be shot. The two did
not return, and "a were taken out and shot.
The Major reports that nearly all of the
HumboIt Indians had gone to the buffalo
range on big hunt. The health of the
troops was excellent.

INDIsPUTABLE AUTHORITY.

1t is but seldom that We engage in Biblical
lore. Oft are We tempted to explore the fields
of theology, and ruminate upon the meaning Of
sacred things. 1t was while thus engaged, the
other day. that we were deeply impressed with
the unmistakable plainness Of the extracts,
which We have placed at the head of our paper.
They require no garbling, but at first reading
Will strike every one for their plainness, and
the object aimed at
One Of the principal features Of the Democracy
has been Its Wholesale, shameless mutilaticns of
tle word OF God. Inasmuch as they are heavy"
on seriptural recognizance of human bondage
We would call their particular attention to the
divine authority for the recent proclamation of
freedom by the President. But they will not
allow their rule to be used both ways. With
persistency characteristic of the devil do they
construe the sacred writings into defence of
that which outrages every instinct of the nature
which the Almighty has given us, and affect to
be shocked at the bold in6delity" Of he who
believes the Book of Books to be defence Of
Right and Liberty. If there be any meaning to
words at all, Abraham Lincoln is expressly COM
mauded in these words to make his own terms
to the rebels: "Whosoever will not do the law
of thy God, and the law of the king let judgment
be executed speedily upon him, whether it be
unto death, or to banishment. or to confscation
Of goods, or 10 imprisonment"
There's the papers for il, Abraham. By the
First OF January let anoter edict follow, setting
the Judgment" grade or two higher than con-
fiscation, and the thing will soon collapse.

Cabinet Changes Expected.

New YORK, Nov. 6.
The Times has the following: Dispatches
of the greatest importance, and which may
effect change in the whole aspect of the
war, were today submitted by tie French
Legation to the Secretary Of State. Gen.
Halleck expresses the belief that foreign
interference, neccssitating levy en- masse
of our whole population, would not be an
evil, but would have large compensating
benefits. He expresses the belief that the
North has not yet begun to develop her
possible resources.
An informal meeting of the Cabinet was
hold to-day, AID adjourned to this evening,
when it assembled at eight o'clock, General
UaNeck being present on special invitation
of the President. 1t is believed that 9
decision of more ultimate Importance than
any vet made in the course Of the war 'hse
been arrived at, and will be announced
before the end Of the week.
The air is pregnant with rumors of mill
tary changes and cabinet changes. Military
changes are positive, and it is believed
certain cabinet ministers regard the changes
as coudemnations, leaving them no alerna'
tive but to resign.
It is not believed that any capital pun
ishment will be visited upon the hostile
Indians of the Northwest, the policy of th'
Government being adverse to such treat
ment of the Indians who have given them
selves up. It is the mission of Assistan
Secretary Usher, now in Minnesota, t.
adjust those difficulties, avoiding as far q
possible all collision with the State author
| tiles.
