til some points in this country, such as Mata-
moras, could be taken, and a few million dol
lars raised by re9uisition A commissioner
is at this moment in Brownsville, With in
structions from St. Loola de Texada, Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, to raise loan of one mil
lion dollars, then to raise legion, buy so
many stands of rifles, so many rounds of am
mpnition, six batteries riAed guns 80 many
rounds Of shell and case shot, &c. But this
commissioner cannot raise the loan, and will
not do the rest with no funds, as itSwould be
folly
The facts are these: There is to be no war
at present in favor of Mexico The order to

party wants private aid from the United
States, and is lost without it. If 10000 to

The Herald's Vera Cruz correspondent Of
the 1st says: The Imperialists were in state
of intense excitement and joy over the official
announcement by Marshal Bazaine of two
Imperial triumphs. 1t seems that the rumor
which we have so often previously had of the
flight of Juarez and the taking Of his capital
by Maximilian's troops, has at last proved
true. They entered it on the 18th of August.
The other Imperial victory was the occupa-
ton of the town of Hermosello, place of
less than $4,000 inhabitants, which the Re.
pubcans had previously evacuated ni
b, These affairs, though cfno great importance,
were being male much OF in celebrations and
illuminatons by the Imperialists, and special
steamer had been dispatched from Vera Cruz
for France to convey the intelligence; and
yet this affair is insignifcantly compared with
the success of the Liberals at Tehuacan.

ADVICE TO VIRGINIA ELECTORS. 'i
The Richmond Wing urges the selection o
candidates at the approaching election ii
Virginia who can take the oath of allegiance
and says if the people of Virginia send dele
gates to Washington who cannot take th'
oath of admission, these delegates will not b.
admitted and Virginia will go unrepresented
We repeat therefore, that the question to b'
consulted and decided at the polls on the sec
ond Tuesday in October by the people of Vir
ginia is not by whom they shall be represented
but whether they will be represented at all
If they vote for men who cannot take th'
prescribed oath, they might as well vote fo
the Emperor of France or the Bey of .Tunis
There is 10 use of arguing that this ough
not to be so and swearing about it Itis so
and we have to meet the fact Butsays som,
one, ''that will be changed 1t will not b
changed, unless Southern delegates can b.
got into Congress to help change it, and it i
precisely for this reason that we should elec
only men who can take the oath and cast thei
votes for resembling the obnoxious law
Better said a member of the Administra
ton the other day, in Washington, that Vir
ginia should send delegation of idiots Il
Washington, if only they could say yes upol
the vote to rescind the law, than delegation
of her wisest and best men, who could no
take the OATH ngar,f : ~ agsd 1sg1l
