Mexican News.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-By the steamer Gen.
Barnes we have the New Orleans Times of
the 1st. The only item is statement that
gentleman who left Mobile on the 10Th
ult., states to that paper that powder from
the magazines was rapidly going to Selma.
The steamer Moro Castle brings Havana
dates to the 4th. Advices from Mexico
show that the Imperial forces were concen-
trating about Oxoaca, and will probably cap
ture the place; but in the meantime nearly
the whole of the State of Ialisco is free from
invaders, and have thrown off the yoke of
the Imperialists, so that other work will be
ready for them after the fall of OXoaca. In
deed the whole country will have to be
conquered and reconquered, and Maximil-
ian's prospects are very dubious. Guerrillas
are very troublesome. Reports of revolu-
tion in the city of Mexico, though denied,
continue. The Juarists attacked Toluca
and captured the town of Watepee. Aca-
pulco has been officially announced as
abandoned. Artega has 500insurgents in
Monelia. The Imperialist Gen. Vega was
defeated and shot at El Turtle, in Senaloa.
The Imperialists were able to hold the city
of Zecatlan only three days.

Message from JcG: Davis ON the
Peace Conferencs---EvacuatiOn
OfRiclmOnd.

New YORK, Feb. .9.-The Tribune's Wash
ingtOn special says: A telegram has been
received here from the Army of the Poto-
mac, reporting message from jeff. Davis
to the Confederate Congress, communicate
ing the result of the recent peace confer
ence in Hampton Roads. 1t states in SUBJ
stance that President Lincoln refused an
armistice of any length, refused recogni-
ton, either of the Contederacy or of any of
the States which comprise it, refused inde-
pendence, and only conceded merciful and
liberal use, by himself, of the pardoning
power. During the conference he COM
municated the passage by Congress of the
amendment of the Constitution abolishing
slavery throughout the United States, and
declared that the question of slavery was
wholly removed from their control and
placed beyond negotiation.
1t is thought here that this version of the
conference will strengthen Mr.. Lincoln
even more than his own history of it, to be
sent into the House probably tomorrow.
The Herald says it was rumored in Wash
ington yesterday that the War Department
had received intelligence that General Lee
had commenced the evacuation of Rich
mOnd, and it was supposed that themove-
ments of the Army of the Potomac were
designed to cut him off ON the South Side
railroad. ............ ....
Our dispatches state that it has been sat
isfactorily ascertained that Lee has, up to
this time, at least, sent very few of his
troops south.

Operation. South Of Petersburc.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-The Herald's CITY
Point dispatch of the 9TH, says the enemy
abandoned the ground in front of the Sec
ond corps that he hadpreviously attempted
to occupy and drive us from, and left his
dead to fall into our hands. Burial parties
were busy all day in giving them che last
rites of humanity. We are still holding,
and intend to hold, all the ground in the d.
rectiOn of Hatcher's run.
| The losses of yesterday and day before
are, in killed and wounded, between 25O
and 300 in the Second corps, and probably
not far from 500 i'm the Fifth corps. The
loss of the latter is estimated much higher
by many, but think it will not greatly ex-
ceed these figures. Brigadier General H.
II. Davies, commanding brigade of caval-
ry, Is slightly wounded. Major Tremaine
on Gen. Gregg's staff, is reported wounded.
1t was reported last evening at the front
that the cavalry which have advanced to
Dinwiddie G. H., beyond the Boydtown
plank road, have captured 80 of the enc
my's wagons and about hundred horses,
SAID to belong to Bradley Johnson's COM
mand.
1t is generally observed by our officers
and soldiers, that the enemy do not fight as
well as formerly, and it is to great extent
attributed to the bewildering tactics of Gen.
Grant, which keep them in constant mo-
tion, marching from one threatened point
to another, only to return again, until they
beceme disheartened and dispirited, and
ready to throw down their arms and weld
themselves prisoners whenever opportuni-
ty offers.
The Tribune's special Of the 9TH says the
rebel attack on the left of the 9TH corps was
gallantly repulsed by Ayers division, with
considerable loss to the enemy. The left of
the 9Th corps now rests on the Boydtown
plank road, and the entire front of the 9th
and I'd corps are being strongly fortified to
the lett of the old fortified position, which
is held by the 9TH corps. Gregg's cavalry
is still on reconnaissance towards the
South Side road.
The whole number of rebel prisoners
taknn mp to last evening wae about 800. A
snow storm prevails this morning.
The Tribune's correspondent from the
battlefield, dated Feb. Z which is the latest
received, says: just before dark the even
ing previous, our troops gallantly repulsed
a desperate charge made by the rebels; that
the left of the 9th corps rests on the
Boydtown plank road, and our entire front
was being strongly fortified. This corres-
pondent gives no indications of any success
whatever on the part of the rebels. Our
troops have advanced, and bravely hold the
ground they have taken.

POLICE COURT.
twenty Offenders In Court-The As
saiiants OF officer Hader Fined
and ImprisOned-COI. Pluck
and Captain Blood,
r-f.I4 &c., dc., &c.

Yesterday morning, Mayor Thomas had
an array Of no less than twenty individuals
at the bar of his court. The vices, which
seemed to have frozen up during the recent
intense cold weather, arc now apparently
thawing out. The following Is list of the
offenders brought before the Mayor yester-
day morning, with the fines and penalties
imposed
Thomas VBren, James Glide and John
King, for being drunk and disorderly on the
streets, were each fined SO and costs.
VIM. Wilson, for vagrancy, was fined S.
and costs, and Mrs. McAvoy, for disorderly
conduct, SO and costs.
Maria Ivey, otherwise called Pocahon-
tas, for keeping house of bad repute was
fined $50 and costs. n.e
Susan Wilson, Mary Shoemaker, Mary
johnson, Lizzie Evans, Susan Wood, B.
Stanley and John Hough, for visiting for an
improper purpose house OF bad repute,
were each fined S. and costs.
All the offenders named above paid their
several fines and costs, except Susan Wood,
who was recommitted. a. .
The case of the six individuals arrested
for assaulting police officer Bader and oL-
structing and resisting him in the discharge
of his duty, was called up. Frederic Beck
and William Croft plead guilty, and were
each sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and
costs, and to 15 days imprisonment in the
city prison. William Hettesheimer and
Lucas Berher were each sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 and costs, and to 10 days con-
finement in the city prison. The remaining
two of the six arrested as being concerned
In the riot and assault upon officer Bader-
Frederic Ritter and Jacob Kurtz, were each
fined $40 and costs for disorderly conduct
Jacob Duss appeared before the Mayor
on charge of breach Of the peace and
fighting. 1t seems that Jacob had applied
to wood-hauler to purchase his load,
which was standing on the street. The
woodman, with strange perversity refused
to sell it to Jacob, though he offered him his
price-four dollars. Another citizen came
along, and learning how matters stood, of.
fered the wood-broker his price, which he
said he would take. The buyer proposed to
transfer the wood to his friend Jacob, and
directed the hauler to deliver it where
Jacob should direct. The woodman said
the man to whom he had sold it might
have the wood, but he would not deliver
it to such man as Jacob. Upon
hearing this Jacobs ire was natur-
ally excited, and he struck the wood-dealer
few not very light blows, to teach him
better manners. The latter entered his
complaint against Jacob, who was fined $40
and costs, which he paid.
We are authorized to state that the re-
nowned Col. Pluck and Capt. Blood, whom
we noticed, a day or two since, as having
forfeited their recognizances of twenty dol
lars each for their appearance before the
Mayor, did, on entering into such recogniz-
ances, deposit with the Mayor twenty dol
lars each as security. So that the city has,
by their non-appearance, made forty dol
lars without the trouble and cost of suing
upon bail bonds.

Rebels ON the NIississippi-AHhir
Mt Memnhfa.

CAIRO, Feb S.-The steamer City of Cairo,
from Memphis, brings 223 bales of cotton
for st. Louis. ...--
The Memphis Bulletin says large force
of rebels, including Bailey's command, six
hundred strong, is reported on the Arkan-
sas side of the river near Mound City, un-
der Robbins, intending to cross the river
into Tennessee. Seventy-five of Guam
trell's old band crossed the river and moved
to the front of our lines several days ago,
but have now gone into the interior. Guer-
rillas in large numbers are near our lines,
and robberies are frequent. Dead pickets
are brought in every morning.
The military authorities have made re-
QUESTION on the city treasury of Memphis
for five thousand dollars, and will SOON
make another for like amount. This
money has been collected for liquor licenses
under the three hundred dollar license or
der, and the requisition is for refunding the
tax of two dollars per barrel imposed by
military order on the city.

Regular Officers Living High.

New York, Feb. 9.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser complains of the partiality
shown by the War Department toward reg
ular army officers, most of whom, instead
of being in the field, where they are most
needed and where their presence is most
urgently demanded, and where they would
be of incalculable advantage, owing to their
education in warfare, have been placed in
ing allowances for quarters, rationsin kind,
and other extras which go to swell their
pay. Out of 1.14l such officers, only 80
are on duty with their regiments.
