NEW YORK, September 25.
} The World has letters from ChIhuhusy,
of July 81, stating the Juarez cause is dead.
} If JnArez were able to gather into enc
corps troops that acknowledge his author
ity, he would not now have more than
. 10000 men, and could select from all no
two thorough armed and organized. The
truth is all the wealth and intelligence of
Mexico is enlisted upon tbs side Of Maxi
millian. There is no portion Of the coun-
try into which the Imperialists might nos
safely and successfully penetrate.
F1MALE PETITIONERS.
The Times Washington special says
! that the Secretary of the Treasury has
already within short time, recorded the
names of over 400 importunsse female pc
tisioners for place, besides over 1000 male
officers. In either department where
female clerks are employed like proper
ton Of applications is fled. Now the
truth of the matter is, and It should be
known over the country, that in ali depart
ments there has been q reduction in the
clerical force, and notwithstanding there
yet remains the full strength to conduct
Tue DusIueEE or the Government easily and
promptly. The Secretary Of the Treasury

with the services of about fifty female
clerks without throwing the ladies upon
the world without means or occupation.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER THOMAS.
Colonel Samuel Thomas, Assistant Com
e aS- II. -
Acial communication dated Vieksburg,
September 14th, giving his return for Au-
gust says; The Records in that part of
the State are destroyed, and the citizens are
reluctant to supply missing information.
He states that lis plantations are lsased
IN LOuisiAns, 81 by whites and So by
blacks, also, 1a6 in AissiEsiPPi, 1lS by
whites, and % by blacks. There are 49,
500 acres in 81 plantations in Louisian
and Mississippi leased to blacks. One
hundred and seventy plantations give to
the whites about half lARds leased, which
the whites were abandoning, owing to the
overfowing of the Mississippi.
A tremendous pressure is being brought
to bear by returned Oisisens Of all classes
to get possession of their property. They
are constantly writing to the Presidentsnd
heads Of different bureaus at Washington,
and have filed all kinds Of nisrepresenta-
tions in order TO effect their purposes. The
Colonel says no property has been hbelled
for conAscation, and he has made no at
tempt to distribute in small lots to negroes,
as he knowa it would meet with strong op-
position from all parties, and would require
s hero to execute it and 8 military force
70 protect the freedmen during the term of
their lease.
# he adds, the militia is organized Sc
fOreshadoWed by Gov. ShArkey and en-
dorsed by the PRESIDENT he has no ides
freedmen will remain laborers in cotton
fields. They are excited and partially
armed. The hope of organizing the labor
the State in such way that freedmen will
return to the field and recruit agricultural
wealth as free laborers, seems to vanish
with the promulgAti0n of this military or.
der. In conclusion, he says he hears of
