OUR JUDGES.

The Superior Court is a tribunal peculiar to
our City, and its bench has generally been filled
by men of eminent integrity. ability and legal
requirements. Such is now the case There is
no lawyer, no citizen of whatever politics, who
has any doubt that case submitted to Judges
Bosworth and White will be tried as the laws
prescribe and decided according to the evidence
presented.
The conspirng Tammany and Mozart INA
chimes" have determined that these faithful and
honored Judges shall be thrown ont, and that
their places shall be filled by Samuel Is. Garvin
and John III. M'Cxnm. Lot us think Of this.
And let us-to put politics entirely out of the
question-considor tho case entirely as between
Judge Bosworth and the late Col. M'Cunn.
Suppose that, one bare month ago. every
Democrat in our City who reads newspaper
or does any useful work for living had been
incidentally asked" Which do you prefer to
have supported for the Superior Court this FALL
Judge Bosworth or John II. McCunu '"-whai
proportion would have answered "MoCunn 2"
Would onc-fourth' or even one-tenthi We do
not believe onetwenticth Of those who would
be considered fit jurymen in case involving o
thousand dollars would have given that answer.
And yet there is great danger that judge Bos-
worth will be supcrscdcd by McCunn. Not thA,
the People will deliberately purpose and vote to
put him in Judge Bosworth's place. but That
so many will "vote the regular ticket" without
considering who is or who is not upon it, a. "a
give McCunn a majority.
The Unionis, organizations have done, and
the Unionist voters will do. their whole duty in
the premises. We have rcnominated all the
Judges whose terms expire this Fall, though
five Of the six have hitherto been adverse 10 u.s.
and we shall give them al hearty and unan'
nous support. There our duty ends. There
tha, Of "tho Democracy" begins. If,hey .hnk
they can afford 10 put Judge Bosworth OF Tie
bench in order 10 put McCunn on. ic' thcTn do
H. II will not damage side one BIZ Ia have
them do IL.
There are in this City thoufands Of capital
lists, merchants and men In c1,ensiye business,
who know by experience The worth. the IN
por,ance Of an able and upright Judiciary.
They know whether it Is or ia not best 20 have
Judges White and Iio.worih elected 10 give
place 10 John II. McCunn. Full half oi thcm
usually vote with either the Tammany or the
Mozart Democracy. These men. If they choose,

quarters attached to the speech he made at that

of Democrats who stood in the same position aS
maintained by Gen. Cochrane in March, 1851

NRw YORK, May l4.-Advices from Puebla,
via Havana on the eth ultimo, have been re-

The French were ropulsed on the 3Oth, In an
attack on the converts of St. Augustine, Car
men, and Mcrced.
On the l4th a battle occurred at Atlaxico.
between part of Comonfort's forces and the
French. Both parties claim success; but the
chief design Of COmonfort, to dislodge the
French from Atlaxico, was not attained.
Reports have reached Vera Cruz that the
French have been driven from Fort Janvier to
their former position at Amalucon. The French
account disagrees with this, and reports the
capture of the Church of Carmen on the 10TH
general review of the situation shows little
change since the first of April
General Oh rim, with fifteen hundred NexI-
can cavalry, had made a sortie from Puebla to
attack the French supply trains from Orizaba.
Numerous bands Of gucrllas invested the
road from Vera Cruz to Orzaba, and several
expeditions which were sent out to annihilate
them had been unsuccessful. The French In
Vera Cruz entertained great fear that million
dollars, with large amount of ammunition,
which was about to leave for Puebla, would
not arrive safely.
Comonfort has been reinforced by seven
thousand men from the city of Mexico, and
Mexican reports express the hope that by over
whelming numbers they will be able to ami
hilatG the French invaders.
The traitor Butron who acted in concert with
the French, is said to have been totally defeat
ed, and Marquee is reported prisoner.
The Vera Cruz dates are to April 18th, when
French advces from Pucba were only to the
18th, via Jalapa and Mexico.
Pucbla dates are to the 2lst of April.

DEATH OF JACKSON AND VAN dorm

The rebel cause has received severe blow
In the death of Generals Jackson and Van Dorm,
one of whom has fallen a sacrifice to Mars and
the other to Venus. stonewall jackson, him
self religious enthusiast, had infused into his
soldiers n degree of enthusiasm which rendered
them terrible fighters. They regarded their &C.
centric chief with sort of superstitious vener-
alton, and consequently they fought desperate
ly and suffered the most terrible hardships un-
complainingly whenever he directed them in
the field. His death will paralyze much of that
energy displayed by his old brigade, his div.
sion and his corps; which have fought upon so
many hotly contested fields.
Jackson acknowledged that the hardest blow
he had ever received was given him by General
Banks, at Cedar Mountain; and II chance had
ever brought those two generals together again,
the encounter would doubtless have been one
of the bloodiest Of the war. After the famous
retreat of Gen. Banks, he never bore any good
will towards jackson.
1t is said that Stonewall jackson was the
| only officer to whom Gen. Scott ever applied
an epithct in his official dispatches. In the
Mexican war jackson was lieutenant of Ma
gruder's Battery Of Artillery, and, as Magruder
devoted himself constantly to the whisky bottle,
| the lieutenant was compelled to do all the
work of the command On the eve Of the bat
tie Of Chcpultepec, jackson was taking his bat
terry up the road, when he encountered, just
after passing around a turn in the road bat
terry of four guns, which the Mexicnns had
planted behind a small earthwork. A fight
cnsued, in which every horse and man in Jack
sons command were killed or woundcd-he
only being left unharmcd. The MexiCans rushed
upon the battery, but Jackson would not leave
his guns, when suddenly bis enemies were
Hankcd and compelled to leave in great haste.
Gen. Scott, in his dispatches Of the battle,
mentioned him as 1.-THE brave Lieutenant Jack
son."
