The steamship Mariposa brings New Or
leans dates to the Goth. The Matamoras Moni-
tor of the Frontier of the 22d, contains dates
of the defeat Of Cortinas by Lopez. 1t appears
that Lopez was in guard of convoy, and that
Cortinas, surmising the convoy contained a
large amount Of specie, determined upon an
attack After skin mishing a while, Cortinas'
whole force, numbering 600 men, attacked and
were repulsed. Another was made, and Corti-
mas again repulsed. His men then became ter
rifed, and fed in every direction. Cortinas
lost no less than 100 men. Those taken pris-
oners by the imperialists were instantly shot.
The imperialists had only seven or eight slight
ly wounded. One of the lieutenants was cap
tured and killed. The convoy then proceeded
to Monterey in charge of aportion of Lopezs
force, and the remainder returned to Matamo-
ras. s.s4
The Matamoras Ranchero of the 3d. says
among the rebel leaders steering for Mexico,
are Generals Kirby Smith, Rice, Wilcox, Ma
gruder, Walker, King, Preston and Leadbet
ter, Colonies Flournoy and O'Banon, and ex-
governors Allen and Moore. There were still
at Monterey, Generals Shelby, Bee and Hind

CHILD KILLED.-John Kerrigan, aged fif
teen months, son of John and Ellen Kerrigan
while playing upon the horse railroad track
near the depot on Spring Street, yesterday at
ternoon, was run over by a car and instantly
killed. We could not learn that any blame at
tached either to the conductor or driver of the
car. "
A coroner's inquest was held, and from the
evidence it appears that the child was three
feet from the horses when the car drove by
The little fellow then toddled along to put his
hand on the car, when he stumbled and fell,
the hind wheel of the car going over his head,
and killing him instantly. The verdict of the
jury censures parents for allowing Small chill
dren to be playing in the vicinity of the cars,
and also censmes the conductor of the car for
not stopping and driving the child away when
he was found to be so near the horses.

the understanding that he should again be

Several brief speeches were made upon it, but
apparently in very good spirit. The vote
was taken and thirty-one voted in favor and
nine against it. Some of those who voted
against the motion desired little more time
for consideration, but the feeling was strong
for Mr.. Walton, and the majority were anxious
to have the question settled then, and for the
reason that the Pastor of their choice might
