what Change will there bel

The drclinaton by Mar,nrin J. Fish
or of the candidate for Gubernatorial
honoTs rendered him by the Des Mo'ncs
Coppcrhead convention, seems to be quite
as agreeable to the Tuttlc Democrats as
it is dIstasteful to the Mahonyites The
consequence is that between the satisfac.
ton of one class and the chagrin of the
other, there is every prospect of a de-
lightiul family quarrel. The most anu.
sing feature of the affair is the large ac.
cession claimed to be mace to the futile
ranks since the State nominations we're
made. The Burlington Argus of last
Saturday, declares that Gen. futile is
the choice Of mine tenths Of the D4moc.
racy Of Iowa. Assuming this to be
correct, but one Of the two following sup.
positions is entirely admissible: The
"Dcmocracy of Iowa" was entirely mis-.
represented at the Dcs Moincs conven.
ton. since on the second ballot, which
the futile men say themselves was fairly
taken, Gen. futile only had three more
votes claimed for him than for Byineton;
or great change Of opinion has since
taken place in the Democratic ranks.
We are disposed to take the latter as the
true statement of the case. All Iowa
Copperheads, except the Mahonyites, see
very plainly that the fall Of Vicksbure
and Port Hudson, and the defeat of Lee
has forever banished the last hope of
maintaining any political organization 10
the Northwest based on direc, opposi-
ton to the war. Therefore, to save the
Democratic party in Iowa from immediate
death, the Copperhead leaders are very
anxious to abandon Mahony and run a
quasi war candidate. Hence those who
two months ago were in deadly hostility
to Gen, futile, are now willing to use
that gentleman as handle to the rest of
the ontt-war ticket, and to the anti.war
platform. We have one question only to
put to these scheming partizaus. If tbey

them two miles from Greenwich, where they
had taken very strong position. Col. Mann
charged the rebels, who replied with grape and

THE SIEGE OF PUEBLA STILL PROGRESSING.
Dates have been received at San Francisco
from the city of Mexico, via Acapulco, TO the
9th inst. Up to the 9TH the French continued
the bombardment of Puebla, making little prog
ress. 1t was believed that the French would
soon be compelled TO abandon the siege of Pue.
ba. Comonlort had commenced an important
movement designing 10 get in the rear of the
French and then throw his 5000 troops into
Puebla and strengthen Ortega.
@" the 9th ComorIort teegraphed TO Juarez (:
"lhe enemy is now mile and half from our
position He keeps up slight cannonading of
Puebla. All his attention is directed to my
movements. My line extends to San Pabla
Del Monte. The soldiers are very enthusiastic,
and | intend to profit by it,"
GEN. oRTEGA AND II, 600 MExIcANs CAPTURED.
An extra of the Havana Dario of the Goth
uIt., received per steamer Shelldrake, reports
the arrival at Havana of the French steamer
Darien from Vera Cruz with important dis
patches from Gen. Forey. These dispatches an
nounce the occupation of Puebla by the forces
under his command. The prisoners include
Gen. Ortega, 90 other generals, 800 minor Off
Gers and $1,000 men.
1t appears that on the 10th Gen. Forey

The French troops then moved TO the assault
and after desperate resistance entered the
plaza, when Gen. Otega surrendered uncondi-
tionally. On the Goth one division of the
French army started for the city OF Mexico.
On the Sih inst Gen. Comonlort, who had re-
ceived reinfurcements, tlied TO attack the rear
of the French forces, and Gen. Bazaln's division
opposed him, which defeated its opponents
completely. The battle took place near San
Lorenzo, Comoniort losing $500 men, killed
wounded and prisoners, seven or eight rhed
cannon and greate part of his equipments
and munitions Of war 1t appears that Com.
onfort's attack had for its principal object to
forward an entrance into Puebla of large con.
voy Of provisions and ammunition. Gen 70.
rey had received in time part OF the heavy ar.
tillery he expected, and already on the 10th had
mounted battery opposite the fort Of Toll
Mehuacan, one Of the most decaded in Puebla
On the same day The artillery began to fire, and
by the 18th breach had been made. Forey
then commanded an assault. They made bu,
slight resistance, and then ceased. Part of the
French army enrenched the town, and Ortega
surrendered without conditions, with all his
forces, including all the artillery aud equip.
ments. There would be left in Puebla only a
necessary garrison, to prevent its being moles.
ted by gnerllas, and he rest of the force,

capital. The number is as already statsd.
