WHO STRUCK WILLIAM PATTERSON, ESQ!
In the course Of remarks upon the death OF A. LIN
coin The Houston Telegraph looks upon the assassin az
GODS instrument" and that God Almighty ordered
this event, or it could never have taken place IL
sbout in this vein that the Southern press generally
seems TO look upon the assassination OF tie ohted
States President. On the other hand, we have noticed
in the New Orleans papers that tie resolutions ex'
pressiye Of sorrow and mourning over this event. by
associations corporations, schools etc.. are generally
preambled thus Whreas, 1t pleased the Almighty 10
remove from our midst much beloved President,
etc If we had an opinion as the origin OF Lncoins
death il would be that the devil was mixed up ID ~

that this is the work Of an mmutable Being. However
We would not dare differ with the unanimous OPINION
a to who killed A. Lincoln. we will say, IL God

THE MEXICAN TROUBLE-THE LIBERALS ADVANCE
sKIRMIsH AND RETREAT.
Liberal force yariously estimated at from s. 900 10
1000 men, under Gen. Negrete, made their appearance
before heroic NatRmoros Saturday last The Impe
rial pckets were driven in about p m. Nothing more
ofimportance occurred on that day. On Sunday, bow
ever Gen. Negrete made demonstration the Impe-
rial hnes. which resulted in nothing but artillery
duel One or two lmperialsts were wounded and a
horse was killed.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock sharp skirmish oc
CURED, lasting about half hour. Cortinas was In
command of the Liberal force engaged. Gen. Mejia
routed him with ease, capturing some prisoners. "A
spy was also captured who was shot the following

other. About O'Clock p. Gen. Negrete moved of
In the direction of Monterey evidently in full retreat
1t was surised he had gone 10 Monterey TO borrow
some more funds. When he took possession of that
city q few weeks ago be raised $4,000 by forced
loan. II is stated the Liberals got 10 quareDg among
themselves, and when they moved off it every man
for himself and the devil take the hindnost However
they may turn up in some other direction Perhaps
they better in sragetc retreats than IN actual
tests.
Several days before Negretes forces arrived be sent
officer to negotiate. The exact purport Of the
propositions made. We learn from very good
authority was first TO induce Gen. Mejia TO pronounce
against the Empire and join forces with him to upset
As1imiliap and support Juarez secondly If Gen.
Heja would pronounce against Macmillan. and dc.
clare himself Emperor, he (Negree) would either fight
for him disband his forces.
TO this artful approach, Gen. Mejia replied in sub.
stance that such propositions could be entertained
and that he prepared to enforce obedience to the
present order Of things.
Gen. Mejia also sent verbal message to Negrete,
stating that be considered him nothing than a
Yankee General; that he was fully aware that he was
in communication with the Yankees, aid was receiving
arms and money and men wherewith 10 disturb the
peace OF Mexico.
1t is well-authentieate fact that Juarez did re
ceive $4,000 stand Of from the Yankee
Government. They were sent from ST. Louis TO Santa
Fe thence to Arizona. They condemned and
sold at sham auction They were ali bought by
Jusrezs agents. They could afford to ont bid all com
pettors at the sale because they paid nothing. The
arms shipped 10 Chihuahua and the most Of Ne.
gretes forces who disappeared from before Matamoros
this week, armed OF that lot OF Yankee mus
kets
Within a week Gen. Mejia has achieved for himself
more thorough confidence than be has heretofore en-
joyed Even his countrymeD. whose sympatheS are
with the Liberal cause openly express their admiration
Tor him as man and as soldier. Many. very many
OF the residents OF Matamoros who looked forward 20
the troubles just over, with mysterious sbrug Of the
shoulders and doubling guien soJe now stanch
supporters OF Gen. Mea, and will back him from this
time
For our own part we desire that Gen. Mejia should
control the Mexican border He has evinced himself
model administrative officer and has demons ed that
he command in the field with equal ability. He
administers justice with firm hand, repects the indi
vidua rights Of his people and guarantees them full
prosperity. Long live Gen. Mejia and the Empire /
Republican America can learn much and admire much
when they have such example before them--iberty
law, order.
