soldier, his heirs, executors and assigns,

leo. They were SO hirrassing. that Gen. Forey
had withdrawn his forces from Iguala, in the State
OF Guerrero. where he had some 1900 soldiers,
and also the troops from Cuernavaca. These
were sent to rel torce the army on the road 10
Vera Cruz. General Negrctc was keeping the
French in il constant statro alarm by his activity,
and had destroyed several OF their trains. The
news is confirmed o. his defeat OF the traitor
Gen. Maiqucz, at NapolucAn. Gen. Forey was
expected TO leave for France in the mouth Of
September. There was great deal of suffering
amongst the poor inhabitants Of th" City OF Mex
leo, and the French were compelled to act with
severity for the purpose Of hllayng the disAfec
ton amongst the inhabitants. The roads Goa.
tinued to be Obstructed between the City of Mex
leo aud Vera Cruz. There was no communca
ton between San Louis Potos and the iorme,
city. The French did not allow any mails 10
leave the Ciiyoi Mexico on any of the outes so
that it was very difficult TO transmit news. All
persons before leaving The city were searched at
the gates. 1t WAS stated that Gen. Forry had
received information that Prince Maximiliau
would accept the throne of Mexico.

was a sickly show, of emp,iness--the hall
being partially filled with buggies wagons
etc, from Barnard's shop. But f'r the for
iunate and disproportionate pecuniary sue
cess Of the enterprise, think Sacramento
would be sick Of State Fairs 1t is to be
hoped that next year the people all over the
Sta'e will not come here on a fools show.
Whoever is to blame, it is needless to CEN
sure. "A part of the blame falls upon those
throughout the State who ia led to contribute
articles for exhibition. There was sad lack
of the products of the sell. There was
scarcely thing among the great products of
the State. No barley, wheat, potatoes, cab
hages, and thousand and one other edibrs
of which this State beats the word in the
production, both as to quality and quantity.
