Previous to this disaster, Uraga had inflicted
considerable damage upon the French. by
capturing their supplies. He proposed to
continue guerrilla warfare, and was gather
ing reinforcements for that purpose.
Doblado, before eyacuatiDg Quadallray, de-
stroyed the aqueduct, water reservoirs and all

States. His family are already at Monterey.
A letter from President Juarez, dated San

hopes are for speedy termination of your
civil war and the complete restoration of the
Union; with it no doubt many American sol
diers would soon join us for the purpose of
driving from the soil Of the American CONT
nent the French with their designs of estab.
fishing a monarchy here. We know full well,
that If the United States had not been en-
gagged in their present struggle, no European
potentate would ever have attempted to strike
blow against republican Institutions: but as
we are, with Gods help, we will try to defend
our beloved Mexico. You no doubt will be
somewhat surprised at our abandoning our
principalities, leaving them in the hands of
the French. We think we are right in doing
so. In the first place, as military view of
the matter, the further we can draw them into
the interior away from their base the better.
BY dividing them up and distributing their
forces they become weaker and give us more
power to assault and destroy them. We don't
intend to carry on more than what is classed
guerrilla warfare. We are not i'm position
TO await for attack on any of our points by
their system of artillery warfare. The French
army being far superior 10 ours in point of
discipline, as well as being supplied with all
the modern improved guns and equipments
we would be compelled to sucenmb in any
pitched battle, while by harrassing and de-
stroying their communication, and Carving
on rowing system of warfare like that which
the French once experienced in Spain. thew

empire TO govern.

doubt of it, for it comes from sources likely 10

To The Editor Of the Press:
The Committee appointed to solicit dona-
tions in money, to be applied for the relief of
the colored refugees on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, have attended to that duty, so far as
their other pressing avocations permitted;
they have RENTED one thousand dollars to
Jos. B. Collins, the accredited and well known
Treasurer Of the National Freedman's Relief
Association in New York; and have now on
hand nearly eight hundred dollars more. The
Committee have failed to see some persons
who were absent when they called, and have,
no doubt, neglected to call on others who
would cheerfully do something for this class
of sufferers. They therefore respectfully say
that they will be much pleased TO receive
further sums until Saturday noon of this
week.
