The Nem rIerirnn Trrn,,

The following is said to be a synopsis of the
new Mexican treaty, now before the United
States Senate;
The United States slipulstes to loan Mexico
$ll,OOO,OOO for the term Of FIVE years. For this
loan the Mexican government is 10 pledge the
entire public domain and what remains Of the
church property, estimated at 500, 10000 in
value. The United States is TO issue bonds for
the amount of 81 ,00O, 900, payable in twenty
years .and bearing six per cent interest. Mexico
is to receive $2,000,00 0 of the amount loaned in
fifteen days from the final ratification of the
treaty-the balance to be paid in instalments Of
$50O,6O0 per month, running eighteen months.
The Mexican government is to turn over its
bonds to the government of the United States
for the amount of Sll 900, 600. bearing six per
cent interest, and payable in FIVE years. To
carry into effect this treaty a mixed commission
is to be appointed by the United States and
Mexico. Three commissioners are TO be appOint-
ed-one on the part Of Mexico aud two on the
part Of the United States. The commissioners
thus appointed are TO sell the public domain and
thechurch property sufficient 70 liquidate the
loan, and pass the proceeds over to an agent to
be appointed by the Uaited States government.
The agent appointed by tie United States gov
srnmeut TO receive the funds as realized, shall
reside in Mexico. There is q convention an
nexed to the treaty, in which the Tehuantepec
project is revived, but which eOniemplates no
new commercial advantages.

An OFRTCIAL CLOWN.

Gen. HUNTER, of negro brigade notoriety,
has responded to the call of the Federal Con-
gress, for the correspondence relative to his pO-
litical action, in rather q humorous and evasive
style. Refusing to recognize the term fugitive
slaves" as was done by the resolution Of Con
gress, he answers the first i~nterrogatOry as fol.
lows:
therefore reply that no regiment of fugitive
slaves has been or being organized in this de-
partmsnt. There is, however, a fine regiment OF
persons whose late masters are fugitive rebels,
men who everywhere fly before the national
flag, leaving their servants behind them to shift
as best they can for themselves, such indeed,
are the loyal persons composing this regiment
now seeking to avoid the presence of their late
owners. That they are now, one and all, work
ing with remarkable industry to place them
selves in q position to join in full and effective
pursuit of their fugscious and traitOrous pro
prietors.
His second response, however, is signif-
cant OF his abolition ultraism. 1t is special in
its pleading, and the conclusion is evidently
such an one as the author had determined to
reach. He says
1.-THE instructions given to Brig-Gen. 7. w.
Sherman by Secretary Cameron and turned over
to me by succession for my guidance, do dis
tinctly sutE orize me to employ slloyal persons Of
fsring their services in defense of the Union,
and for the immediate suppression of this re-
bellion, in any manner they might see fit, or
that the circumstance might call for. There is
no restriction as to the character or color Of the
persons so employed, or the nature of the en-
ployment, whether civil or military, in which
their services shall be used. l conclude, there
fore, that l lave been authorized to enlist fugi-
tive slaves as soldiers, should any such be found
in the department. No such characters, how
ever, have yet appeared within view of our
most advanced pickets. The loyal slaves every
where remain on their plantations to welcome
ard supply US with food, labor and information"
But the salvation of the country was also a
consideration. From his report we take the fol-
lowing
80 the third interrogatOry it is my faithful
duty to reply that l have never received any
specific authority for purchasing clothing, arms,
equipments, etc, for the troops in question,
My general instructions from Cameron to employ
them in any manner / might find necessary, and
the military exigencies Of the department and
the country being my only, but in my judg-
ment sufficient justification"

Dispatch to The Associated Press North
CORINTH, July Eight or ten regiments Of
cavalry, under Gen. Chalmers, attacked Colonel
Sheridan's advance guard, two miles south Of
BoonYille, about eight o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Our companies made a most brilliant dash
on the enemy's rear.
At the same time Major Conn, ID Iowa cav
airy, made a dash in front and on the enemy's
lett, alarming the enemy SO much that Colonel
Sheridan was enabled to hold them in check.
About half past three the enemy commenced
retreatiDg, bat Sheridan having only the I'd
Iowa and I'd Michigan cavalry, was unable to
pursue.
No report of the loss is given. The enemy
make demonstration daily on different parts Of
our lines.
CAIRO, July 8.-A cavalry SIGHT occurred last
Thursday a short distance this side Of Boon
vile, Mississippi. About 1000 were engaged
on each side.
The rebels attacked our forces, driving them
at first, but at last were completely beaten
themselves. The fight lasted five hours.
The loss on the Federal side is about forty
billed and wounded, among whom are two or
three commissioned officers. The rebel loss is
not known, but supposed to be greater. The
9th Illinois was ordered out TO assist the cav
airy.
Just before they reached the scene Of action
it was over. The troops engaged were from
Michigan. We have taken eight prisoners Ger
tain, with others reported as coming in.
CORINTH, July 3-The guerTillss took up the
track east of Grand Junction a day or two since,
and captured seventy to eighty prisoners. Col.
Pride, of Gen. Grants staff. and Captain Nc
Michael, of Gen Smith staff, narrowly escaped,
and have arrived here.

From the letter Ct the Knoxville correspond

design Of marching b. North Alabama on Rome.

be an easy matter at the present time for the

The Federal Congress makes an admission of
IFS inclination to rascslty, when unrestrained
by penalties, by the effort to prevent the Gal
Phsnie propensities Of its members. They pro
pose to provide a shield for their own virtues.
"A bill was introduced into the Senate, to-day"
says a Washington dispatch of the SOth ult.,
" providing that, if any one offers a member of
Congress or other officer of government any con-
siderstion, directly or indirectly, for obtaining
any Office, place, or passage of any bill through
Congress, or claim through the departments, he
shall be fined not exceeding twenty thousand
dollars, and imprisoned in the penitentisry not
more than two years
The Chicago Times thinks that while the bill
is = good one-it might have added necessary
sit would be better if it further provided that if
any member of Congress or other officer of the
government should accept payment for any Of
the services above enumerated, he also should
be fined and imprisoned.
The same journal says that the ext1nt to which
members of Congress have become Office and
job brokers IS but little understood by the COM
mon people, but it is a fact that many members
derive larger profits from such brokerage than
from their legitimate pay. The rule of punish
ment should be made to work both ways to make
it sslutsgy.

greatest has taken place in the health of the army.
1t is scattered for miles around Tupelo, over q
broken billy country, abounding with cool
springs and running brooks. l left Corinth a
few days before its abandonment, and on my
return TO the army at this place, could not help
expressing my surprise at the great change
which has taken place in the appearance Of the
soldiers, especially among the boys of Stan
fOrd's battery. Instead of the pale face, feeble
gait, and detected appearances Of the invalid, l
met with the clear complexion, the elastic step,
and cheerful countenance that betOkens health
and vigor. Soldiers from the hospitals and from
their homes are coming in Of every train by
hundreds, while comparatively few are sent
away.
So, to the citizens in Mississippi and else
where l would say, don't be discouraged. To
you we look for aid and encouragement, and if
this support fails us how can you expect US to
be successful If you could take a peep into
our camps and see what a great, sunbrowned,
dirty, healthy, lively set OF fellows we are
hear our jesting about tough -four bread, picked
beef, and scanty rstions Of bacon, and listen to
our merry songs at night, your own spirits
would be greatly elevated. No, zoe are not dis
heartened if you are, but are still confident of
success, and burn TO be led once more against
the foe. Oar army is recruiting so fast that we
will not long remain inactive, so you may ex-
pect ere long to hear good tidiDgs from the
" Army Of the Mississippi" whether it remain
together or be separated. LEIGH.

The Chicago Times thus refers to trade mat
ters in Memphis
The I~sraelites have come down upon the city
like locusts. Every boat brings a ! ad of the
hook. nosed fraternity, with mysterious boxes
under their arms, and honied words on their
tongues. Anything in the line of trade, up to a
box of cigars, or q dozen papers Of needles, may
be obtained of these eager gentlemen at ruinous
prices, for the purchaser.
There are other traders who do not find so
ready q sale. Ice has been brought here from
st. Louis, by speculative persons, who never
thought to ask whether there was any left over
from last years crop, and when they arrived
had the satisfaction of finding the market over
stocked. The careful Memphians provided
themselves with about three years stock before
the river was blockaded, and were drinking de-
licious ice-water when we supposed them to be
cursing their fate over tepid draughts Of muddy
Mississippi huid-of which, by the way, We
have had no small share ourselves in the process
of getting here. The speculative ice men have
dragged their bargss up the river again.

Haraee,, Tac1ics Improvemen,.

The Salisbury IN. c. Hatchmaa, tells the
following, which demonstrates that all ingenuity
is not of Yankee origin and 1" Hardee's Tactics "
not complete in military orders:
Capt. Osborne, of Iredell, North Carolina, was
wounded in the battle Of 3lst of May, near
Richmond, while leading his company in a
charge on the enemy's batteries. His wound
disabled him, and he fell upon the field, where
he remained for some time. Fearing the enemy
might bayOnet him, he drew his revolver and
kept a sharp look out as the fight progressed.
After a while he saw a strong, athletic man
coming toward the place he was lying, and dis
covering him to be a Yankee, he coolly awaited
his approach. As soon as he came within GER
tain range of his pistol the captain hailed him
and ordered him to surrender. The Yankee
took a mOmentary glance and seeing the cap
tain's pistol was bearing upon him with a steady
and deadly aim, he instantly dropped his rife.
Throw away your knife" said the captain. It
was done. Now back yourself up to me"
was the next command. Squat down so that
l can get upon your back" The Yankee was
compliant; and the captain, with his pistol still
bearing upon his trembling prisoner, crswled
upon him, and ordered him to march into the
Confederate camp. The rider and the ridden
safely arrived at the captains headquarters.
The former is recovering of his wounds, and the
latter is said to be among the prisoners now at
this place.

In view of recent events, the following editc-
rial testimony from the New York Tribune, Of
the 18th ult-, as to the strength of McClellan's
army, deserves to be placed upon record
We have late private advices from our army
before Richmond. In spite of its heavy losses
by sickness, privation and combat, it is to-day
the strongest and most effective army ever as
sembled on this continent-much stronger, even
in numbers, than is generally supposed. It has
more and better artillery than any other army
ia the world ever had.
Yet a little while longer mnst the sword and
the bsyOnet write in letters Of FIRE a fresh heroic
page in the annals of the American republic.
Then cometh welcome peace.

From Vicksburg.

By the arrival Of the ram Lioness from below
we learn that the damage inflicted on the city Of
Yicksburg by the bombardment is not so great
as was at first represented. A number of build
ings have been destroyed, but the greater part
of the city still remains intact.
The town, however, has been wholly aban-
doned By its citizens, and is occupied only by
Confederate soldiers, who assert that they will
never leave 1t while enough remains to afford
them q shelter.
The work Of cutting the canal still progresses,
and before many days the batteries, should they
still remain, win be utterly useless. The fleet
appears to have suspended operations for a time
and for the last few days there has been little

on that day fighting occurred during the whole
