NEW York, Jan. ll.-By the steamship
Columbia, which arrived at this port YES.
terdsy, we. have highly interesting news
from st. Domingo.
Our adyices from Mexico represented the
French as meeting with almost uuinter-
rupted success IN the progress of their diff.
terent columns through the country.
Various cities and towns had been occu.
pied by the imperial arms, Including
Guansjuato and Aquascalientas. The I'M
Vaders were marching on Juarez's capital,
which they expected to occupy by Christ
mas. 1t is reported by the French and
their partizans that Juarez himself would
seek safety by fleeing to Texas.
Gen. Miramon was engaged in raising a
force to march for Durang.
The entire State of Tamaulipas, it was
expected, would soon be in possession Of
the Imperialists.
From st. Domingo we learn that the
Spanish government had gained another
victory over the insurgents in front of
Puerto Plata. driving them excessively
from various positions, though the number
of killed and wounded is said to have
been comparatively small.
Reinforcements for the Spanish were
constantly arriving, and it was supposed
they would soon have sufficient force To
overcome all opposition tgE

Notice to Subscribers.

G4@ THg SoLDIERs-The brigade of sol.
diors which have occupied this city since
Saturday have created quite revolution
in the social aud commercial system of the
city. They have been iu the service since
June, 1861, and having seen very little Of
civilization during that time. they appear
to have forgotten the difference between
aud teWm. They have destroyed an
immense number of stOre-bOxes and other
vAluablesr which they have seen proper to
convert into fuel. Our people have re-
ceiVed their first taste of an army OF occu-
patton, and we are now better able than
ever before to appreciate the protection we
have all along had. The drinking saloons
have all been closed, but somehow or other
the soldiers have managed to get their
canteens filed with theivipg whtskey, and
they have consequently manifested cousid.
cradle disorder. Many of the retail mer.
chants we're yesterday compelled to close
their stores and suspend business, and no.
body dared to hang out clothing or other
portable articles for exhibition. Petty
thefts too numerous to mention were per-
petrated. A party of soldiers carried off
from the trout OF the store of Mr. Rhein.
strom about sixty dollars worth of gaunt.
let gloves, aud another party took quite a
lot of candles aud figs from the store of
P. L. linn. They effected an entrance into
the liquor store of Mr. John Reed and filled
their Cauteeus out of barrel of whiskey.
They carried off several hats, coats, aud
other articles of clothing from various es-
Establishments. 1t is but justice TO the OIL
GERS Of the brigade to say that in every
case Oftheft that came to their knowledge |
they used all diligence to restore the prop
erty. The soldiers appeared to be actuated
more by general cussedness than spirit |
Of gain. Yesterday on Main street a party
of them caught COW and some held her
by the horns while another milched her,
filling his canteen with the laoteal fluid
They sWarmed upon every corner of the
streets,an though their conduct was char
acterized by such scenes as we have men.
toned, there was no open violence, and
no alarm or excitement prevailed amongst
thepOpulace. Indeed, they carried on just
about as the civilians expected they would,
aud nobody appeared to be surprised The
whole brigade is by no means responsible
for the shortcomings we have noted The
majority of the men are very orderly and
gentlemauly-men who have been in many
hard fought battle and always came out
with honor to themselves and to their
country. e
The greater portion of the soldiers
crossed the suspension bridge last evening
aud took the cars for tho North. Only
few remained in the city up to the hour of
going to press.

The annual report of the President has

following interesting facts: Duting the
past year the unsecured Indebtedness has
been reduced from about S2o5, 900 to less
than $4,000, reduction of more than
three.fourths. The fret NOR tgage bonds
of $soo,oOU have been paid of with the
exception ota very small portion, for which.
full provision has been made. And, to
crown all, after having been an entirely
uuprOductive property for ten years, a cash
dividend of four per cent. has bee n made,
with large surplus carried Ovsrlto the
next year. That Is certainly good imam
oial record for the Yearo io2''i-i
The prosperity of the Company seems
now to be established beyond the ordinary
chances of i'll tOrtuus.f The gross receipts
have SO largely increased as to be about
double those of three years ago, aud are
One-third more than those of 1852. AT the
same time the rate of operating expenses
has been largely reduced since 1860, al
though everything consumed has largely
increased in price. The operating expenses
for 1863 were 45} of the gross earnings, :,
TherspOrt refersto the great increase
OF the local traffic and of such through

B9-YEsFERpAY morning two soldiers OF
Gen. Terry's brigade had fight in front OF
their quarters at the Union Hall. They
beat and pummelled each other in most
VigorOus manner for nearly ten minutes
Tho most remarkable feature of the eight
was, that although there were a hundred
soldiers standing about, not one attempted
to Interfere. Indeed they did not appear
to know that the row was going on. No.
body even looked in the direction of the

as a kind of matter of course. One of the
men was very badly beaten and bled most
profusely.
