About the Juarists on the Rio Grande

A correspondent Of the New York Tribaae
writes from Matamoras, August IA, as fol-
lows:
To-day had long talk on the other side
of the liver with General DE Leon, of the
Liberal party and from him gathered some
interesting news in regard to the position
end wants of the party.
De Leon is one of the few mon who have
stood by the Liberal cause in good faith and
his position as Governor of the State of Ia
maulipas entities his words to respect.
lie says that tho wants Of the party arc
now so urgent that unless they arc met in
some way, tho cause will be lost. The time
has come for the United States to aid the
party, or if they do not see ft to go to war
now, there will bo no party to aid whom they
think the time has come to lend assistance
In this way argues General De Leon, and the
state of affairs in Mexico show his words to
be true.
The wants of the Liberal party are very
urgent. They have no money, arms, ammu-
milton, clothing, nor even provisions. The
last want is so much felt that large bodies
of men cannot keep the field. 1t is only by
entreaty that the chiefs can hold them to-
gethe for short periods. De Leon told the
writer that he and others had to beg them,
by al they held dear, to keep together, and
that he has seen the men lying on the ground
moved to tears by the words of their leaders
The bodies of men yet in tho field are
Gen. Negrete's, 5000 men, Gen. Garcia's,
1900 mon; Gen. Do Icons, 2, 900 men; Gen.
Escabado's. 1900 mon Gen. Riva Palacio's,
300 mon; Gen. Hiniiosa's, 500 men; with
President Juarez, 5000 men. Total, l3, 600
men.
This is the total force that can be said to
be acting under the orders of the Govern
ment The first of these corps in Importance
is that of Gen. Negrete, which holds the
State Of Chihuahua, and the second is that
of Gen. Garcia, which operates in the line of
the Sofa Verito-that is, from Vera Cruz to
Tabasco. He has hard task before him,
being encompassed by bodies of French
troops.
There are number of bands of men who
make war in the name of the Liberal Govern.
ment, but will not obey orders from any one
The CHIEFS of these bodies ought, De Leon
said, to be hanged, that their men might be
brought into regular commands.

A New YORK REPORTER now in New o.
leans writes that the inhabitants there have
greater capacity for drinking whisky and
the like than any other people he has ever
met; that in fact, they give their whole at.
tontion to it. Without venturing to express
an opinion as to tho truth or falsity of this
statement, we may be permitted, in the in
tcrests of impartial justice, to suggest that
if a man goes to church he will hear the gospel,
or what purports to be the gospel; ifhc goes 10
court he will hear the law, or what purports
to be tho law; and il ho passes his days in
bar-rooms and his nights in the calaboose,
he will see whisky drinking and the effects
thereof; and if one devote himself pretty
steadily to either of these pursuits, he wiil
be likely, after a while, to suppose all his
neighbors arc doing the same thing. And
while we are upon this subject we may be
permitted to remark, in reply to the ISLANDERS
Of provincial editor, who declared, the
other day, that whisky was the only beverage
known in Washington, that having inquired
of a man who appears to know, we are in
formed that plain skute, root beer, and pc.
trolcum are much more generally approved.

Smoking, ms Usunli

While General GRANT was making his trip
to Montreal it was currently reported at
Manchester, N. H., that he would pass
through that city over the Concord railroad
So the waggish ticket-master at that station
informed n few friends one morning that
General GRANT was expected on the after.
noon train. Accordingly at that time a
large crowd assembled, and when tho train
came they were gratifed with the sight of a
large, mev engine bearing the name of our
fortunate soldier
Among tho victims of this misplaced
curiosity was jocose lawyer, familiarly
known as /" Sam" who had seen the General
before, though we presume the General never
had "seen Sam" This apostle of Black
stone saw the engine and the sell at the same
time, and, comprehending his situation at Il
glance bolted incOntinently for the street
and his office As he reached the former
he was asked by a knowing one if he had
seen the General. 80, yes said Sam, in

the equanimity of the Judge, Mr.. Baron

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes from California:
AT a little town, the head of navigation
on the Sacramento river, lives the widow of
old John Brown. Her daughters teach pub.
lie schools while she finds employment ms
something between nurse and physician
among tho neiGhboring families, by whom
she is warmly loved. She is entirely de-
pendent upon her own labor. There is n
project to purchase a house and lot for her in
this, her chosen home. Any who would aid
so worthy an effort may send their contribu-
tions through the mail, or by Wells, Fargo &
Co. Express, to her at Red Bluffs, Tehama
county, California do not know whether
Mrs. Brown is aware of the movement, but
surely she ought to be placed beyond tho
reach of want by the American people"
