LArER FROM MExico-RUnokED Cgs-
SION or FIVE SrArss 70 FRAscE.-A
telegram from San Francisco, dated the
Esd, gives the following intelligence,
which seems to hare startled the Yankees
Z good deal:
Letters from Mazatlan, to the 18th in
slant, announce the arrival there Of Cap
tain Beauregardr i brother Of General
Beauregard, Of the Confederate States, in
the capacity of private secretary to Will
Lam N. Gwin, formerly United States
Senator from California
Captain Beauregard reports that Mr..
Gwin has been created Duke by tho
Emperor Macmillan, Of Mexico, and
that Sonora, Sinal0a. Chihuahua, Du;,
range and Lower California have been
coded to the Emperor Napoleon by the
Mexican Government, in payment for the.
troops furnished by the French Govern
ment to subjugate Mexico, and that Mr..
Gwin has been appointed Viceroy over
those States, and will soon enter upon
the duties of his Office.
This story is not believed, further than
that Mr.. Gwin has obtained certain land
grants, and is authorized to encourage
immigration from the Confederate States.
The Imperial forces appear to be gra-
dually acquiring possession of the coun-
try, in spite of occasional successes by
Juarez.
Much feeling exists against the Anne
ricans on the part of the .lmperialists, and
at Mazatlan they are harshly spoken of
by the Imperial organ. Many Ameri-
cans, in consequences Of their treatment,
are returning to California, who intended
to stay in Mexico.

LINCOLN IN FAVOR OF RUNNING GOODS
INTO THE CONFEDERAGY TO PAY FOR
COTTON.
They are having lively time in the
Yankee Congress investigating" the
cotton question. Some Of the Yankee
generals, including Dana, have been try
ing to stop the contraband trade by
which cotton is gotten out of the Con-
federacy and goods sent back in return.
Dana had issued an order stopping it,
and he got the following letter from Lin
coin, which has been brought to light in
the Congressional debate:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, January 6, 1865.
Major General Dana:
The attached document, purporting to
be an order issued by your authority, is
sent you with the request that you will
inform me whether such an order had
been issued by you; and lift bad, please
inform me by what authority it is that
you undertake to impose terms in the
premises not imposed by the. Govern
ment, which, in effect, entirely thwarts
and defeats the object of the Govern
ment.
1t is suggested that if executed in good
faith the order of the Government in the
matter in question, or in any other mat
ter, operates unfavorably to the military
service, it would be proper for you to re-
port to the Government fully upon it,
and that would be the only proper course.
Yours, &C., A. LINCOLN.
A Washington letter-writer, speaking
Of this, says: =
This letter shows the feeling of the
President against the military command
ers who have defeated the operations Of
the law. But it is nothing compared to
the vim and argument used in the letter
to General Candy, in which the PRESS
dent treated the subject as financial
necessity. As soon as these lettefs are
thoroughly understood in Congressional,
circles, there will b some rich develop
ments on this subject. More than one
official under the power of the President
may find that he holds his place by a
slender thread, and cannot defy the
President, as they seem to imagine, With
impunity.

Mr. DeJarnette, Of Virginia offered
the following resolution:
:. whereas, all nations have seen with alarm the
.tah.ishment Of any formidable Power in their VI
ss.tca as ell as the people Of the United States,
have cherished the resolve that any further ac-
a,,;s y bf territory in North America by any

s,.sinn Of Mexico by France has resulted, as is al.

On the consent Of the governed; nevertheless we
hays reasons to believe that Interior designs are en-
ffained against California and the Pacific States,
which We do not regard as parties to the war now
va9ed against Us, a. they have neither furnished
men nor money for It's prosecution: Therefore

those most interested in the vndiAton Of the prin-
cplcs Of the Monroe doctrine, for their vindicaton,
to the exclusion Of all seeming violation OF those
principles on the continent Of North America"
Mr.. DcJarnette supported the resolu-
ton in comprehensive speech of about
an hour in duration; and, At the conclu>
sion of his remarks, it was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The Committee on Military Affairs re-
ported back the Senate amendments to

BUTLER AS A DUELLIST-HE WANTS TO
KNOW WHETHER HE is A GOLD OR BOLD
ROBBER.
In the Yankee House, on Tuesday,
Mr.. Brooks said that not long ago, in
the course of his remarks, he had occa-
sion to speak of certain Major General
as gold robber. But in some of the
prints he was represented as saying
"bold robber." No doubt this was q
misunderstanding. He had received a
letter from a Major General, who, it
seemed, supposed that his remark was
particularly applicable to him, though at
the time there was another Major General
in the city of New York.
AT his desire the letter was read, as
follows:
WAsH1SeroN, January 20, 1865.
James Brooks, Member Of Congress,
House Of Representatives.:
/ find in the Daily Globe of the 7th
instant a report of your remarks in the
House on the 9th instant, an extract from
which, personal to me, is appended. |
have the honor to inquire whether your
remarks are correctly reported, except,
perhaps, in the misprint "gold" for
bold; and, also, whether there was
any modification, explanation or limita-
ton made by you other than appears in
this report The gentleman who hands
you this will wait or call for your an
swer at any time or place you may de-
signate.

It appears from communication of

made, there is reason to believe . full
exchange will soon be effected.

Mr.. Ingersoll-It is not assumed that

Mr.. Cox-Without intention. But at

Mr.. Ingersoll- exactly.
Mr.. Cox-Was it not direct stab at
General Grant?
Mr.. Ingersoll-It simply means he did
not assault Fort Fisher, and, in the Sc
cond place, he had been superseded and
was going home. Roars OF laughter.
Mr.. Cox-I acknowledge my friends

Laughter.l
Mr.. Ingersoll concluded by saying-I
