New York, Oct 4.--Tho Herald's Vera
Cruz correspondent of the 2lst ult., represents
a terrible state Of affairs in Mexico. Disorder
and violence reign supreme. The guerrillas
increase in numbers, and their depredations
continue in all sections.
Some Is, 900 additional French troops have
lately arrived, and number of negro troops
are expected from Egypt. 1t is feared they
will bring the cholera with them and infct
new misery on the country.
The Herald's special says that of the new
500 bonds for the conversion of certificates Of
Indebtedness and other interest bearing securi-
ties, three denominations only will be made.
$1,000, $500 and 800. The $1,000 are the
only ones now ready.
The pension bureau desires it to be known
by applicants for pension, that it is unnecessary
for them to 60 to the expense of obtaining GER
tiicates Of the loss Of limbs, as the bureau has
that information already.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-The steamers Zodiac
and Raleigh bring Havana advices to the 3Oth
ultimo.
The Herald says the Georgia Union Club, at
a meeting on the 9th ult., cordially endorsed
the nominations of S. s. Bennett DR.. F. T.
Clark and A. w. Stine delegates to the State
Convention, as true and loyal to the Govern
ment Of the United States, and opposed to Sc
cession under any pretext.
The Club also announced itself opposed to
universal suffrage, and endorsed the policy of
the Washington administration.
The Augusta Chronicle learns that dis
patch has been received at Atlanta, stating
thnt A; IT. Stevens has been pareled and will
return home.
The Savannah Herald quotes mddling cot
ton from 81 to 42c. Stock on hand i, 634
bales.
The Herald's Washington special has the
following The charge, in this mornings
Chronicle, that Green Clay Smith was in favor
of re-enslaving the negroes of Kentucky, is ex-
ceedlngly absurd to those who know his senti-
ments and antecedents. He and his family
have willingly surrendered nearly two hundred
slaves. His opposition to Gen. Palmer springs
from the latter's half way manner of treating
Kentucky officers.
Gen. Palmer practically declares all slaves
in Kentucky free in defiance of the State law,
by granting them passes to 90 where they
please. But in point of fact continues their
enslavement by allowing the operation of the
State laws, enacted in the protection of slavery
to be enforced i'll finding all persons who en-
ploy slaves without the consent of the owners.
In other words, Gen. Palmer gives Green Clay
Smiths slaves passes to 60 where they please,
but allows Green Clay Smith to be prosecuted
for employing others.
In the late elections Gen. Palmer ordered
the civil authorities to allow no rebel or dis
loyal persons to vote, but now allows these
civil officers to be prosecuted and fined for en-
acting his own orders.
It is asserted that Gen. Palmers interference
lost the late election

SUMMARY OF NEWS.

The Oquawka Un.) Paaindealer says that
chills and fever prevail to an alarming extent
in Henderson county. We would like to know
where the chills and fever do not prevail this
season. The heavy rains of the summer and
fall have caused stagnant pools Of water to
settle in almost every city, town and village in
the West.
Another strenuous effort is being made by the
malcontents Of Kentucky for the removal Of
Gen. Palmer
The difference between good harvest and
a bad one in the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain is equal in money to some fifty or sixty
millions sterling.
De Bow, the Southern reviewer,> has been
pardoned.
General Sherman has made St. Louis his
permanent home, and has been presented with
thirty thousand dollar residence in that city.
1t has been reported to the General Land
Office in Washington, that extensive gold dis
coveries have been made on the northern
shores of the west end of Lake Superior, in
the northwestern land district of Minnesota,
which are attracting general attention. =~.
Henry S. Foote, John Bell and Neil S. Brown
are all residing in Nashville. Brown has re-
turned to the practice of law Bell is in feeble
health, and keeps very quiet Foote is active
and bustllng as ever, and says that he shall
hereafter eschew politics and devote himself to
the law. .E.-...
The leading rebel officers of Virginia are
mostly engaged in civil pursuits. Longstreet,

The Times editorially, holds the movement
up to contempt as ridiculously absurd and ut
terely insignificant in proportion, but says it is
something to have it clearly shown that our

Irishmen fondly expected.

in the troops being infected with Fenianism,
and says they stationed on sound military
principles, in the event Of raising :, 600 men,
besides 10, 900 armed police.
The Moniteur authoritatively states no

WASHINGTON, Oct. AT the Wirz trial

that rations were stopped from squads of pris
oners whenever man was miss ing until he

paroled men each Il suit except shoes, there
were only about so pairs of shoes, and these he
gave to those most needing them.
