Tmportant from Mexico.

New YORK, May 13.-The Herald's City
of Mexico correspondent furnishes some
important intelligence. The news of the
National triumphs in this country has af-
forded vast encouragement to the adherents
of President JuareZ, and his cause, which a
short time ago was thought to be almost
hopeless, is now rapidly recovering ground.
A number of victories over the Imperialists
had cheered them, and low spirit seemed
to be infused into the troublesome French.
The port of the capture by them of Sal
tillo and Monterey is confirmed, and there
were rumors that they had also taken Mata-
moras. These events restore nearly the
whole of Northern Mexico to the authority
of Juarez. Several other Republican sue
cesses have been achieved.
The Imperialists were as much alarmed
rs the Liberals were encouraged, by the
suppression of our rebellion, owing to fears
regarding the enforcement OF the Monroe
doctrine, and had put stop to the eXpedi-
tiOn to the northern Mexican States and to
Acapulco, for fortifying the northern from
tier, and 1000 Imperial troops had been
dispatched from the capital for Matamoras.
While JuareZ was at Chihuahua, surround.
ed by all his officers of government and
with large army loyal to his cause, Maxi
milan was on tour through the country
in the direction of Vera Cruz. "rf
Ex-senator Gwin had returned to Mex
leo from France, with imperial instructions,
it was reported, relative to Louis Napo-
Icons scheme in Sonora and Saltillo.
The steamer Liberty brings Havana dates
of the Sth inst. and Vera Cruz to the I'd,
which confirm the reported capture OF Sal
tillo and Monterey by the Liberals. 1t is
reported that JuareZ would establish his
capital at Monterey.
Macmillan, on reaching Orazabia, heard
Of the fall of Richmond and the capitula-
ton of Lee whereupon.he he hastened back to
Mexico and dispatched his chief of cabinet,
Mr.. Elvin, to the United States, who arrived
at Havana in time to take the Corsica. There
are various reports as to his mission.
Don Jose Ramon Pachero, eX-Minister
of State, died in Mexico on the 10Th ult.
The English railroad company have sub
let portion of their road from Vera Cruz
to Mexico to aFrench company, thus CIV
ing France another claim on Mexico, COM
bining English and French interests.
The fucker fraud is accepted by Maxi
milan, and the five million dollars are to
be paid in one million annual installments.
Several of Maximilian's Governors have
pronounced against him.
1t is said that rebel deserters are joining
Ortega. ....

Parliament, who took part in the speeches,

E, The Times hopes our manifestations Of
Indignation and sorrow will be received by

TRAVELLERS INSURANCE CoMPANY.-At-

the Travellers Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Ct., inserted in another column. This
company insures against accidents of every

company of the kind ever regularly organ
lied in this country. The reader will see.
by glancing at the advertisement, that it
insures at low rates, and against foreign as
well as home risks. Mr.. john F. Dryden,

ny's agent for this city and vicinity, by
whom policies are issued, and of whom any

Major General Sherman's headquarters

All these troops will encamp within the

The STEREoPTICoN AT THE ATHENEUM.
I'VE were much pleased with the Stere-

Saturday night. The assembly was not
large, but it was very fair one for the
first evening. We can hardly conceive q
more chaste and delightful entertainment,
In addition to the statuary and the inter-
esting views of scenes and objects in the
old.and new world, there are novelties in
this exhibition really enchanting, such as
the Towering of beautiful plants, the bril-
liant fireworks, &c. The explanatory
and illustrative remarks of Mr.. Gossin are
well-timed and Interesting. nd.
" Mr.. Gossin's reading of Hoods 'Dream
Of eugene Aram," amply justified all thai
has been said of it in this paper. He will,
we presume, give a, reading Of the same
beautiful poem this evening. He should
be heard, and the exhibition be witnessed
by all, both young and old. 1t belongs to
that class Of famusements, ii amusement it
can be called, by which the heart is made
better, while the taste and intellect are
both improved.TY " Y r..yg & !

Sherman's Army not TO be Review
ed AT HeichmOnd-Ehe SdOneyaII
at NnsSau


New YORK. May 13.--The Herald's cor
respondence, dated the 1lth, SAYS that al
though it was expected that there would be
a grand review of Sherman's army on its
passage through Richmond, none will take
place, owing to the bad feeling between
Generals Sherman and Halleck, generated,
it is understood, by the proceedings of the
latter In countermanding orders of the
former to his subordinates during the truce
with Joe Johnston.
The Herald's Nassau correspondence de-
tails a visit to the rebel ram Stonewall.-
When her officers were told of the surrend-
erot Lee and Johnston they admitted that
their vessel had been brought out too late.
She was intended especially to break the
blockade, and would make sad havoc
among wooden vessels. Though she has
crossed the Atlantic, the chief engineer
let out that he would as soon 90 to sea in a
coffin. Her decks were flooded half the
time. Another engineer claimed that she
behaved like a duck. She was to leave
Nassau on the 9TH, it was believed for Gal
weston. Others said she had more i'm
pOrtant destination on the American coast.
Our fleet at Key West has been notified OF
her presence.
Nassau has lost all its activity. The rebel
murderers Poor, Locke and Bran, who took
part in the steamer Chesapeake affair, are
there, wandering about in gray uniform.
The Stonewall captured and boarded the
bark New Light from Baltimore on her way
to Nassau.

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. 18th, 1865

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building Of this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume Of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. .,
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to a pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
lnfux OF such a large and rapid current or
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-irop
fues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State In this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school ediflce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
ltion Of q large humber OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only In Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best. sol

The Texans Determined to Pro-

Shreveport.

ST.. LOUIS, May 13.-The Republicans
Cairo special says: Shreveport, La, papers
of the 9th ult., contain numerous accounts
of the action of the military and people of
Texas in their determination to prOlong the
war. A large meeting was held at Shreve-
port, addressed by rebel Governor Allen
and several officers Of high rank, all taking
the same ground as Kirby Smiths appeal,
already telegraphed, and urging soldiers
and people to renew their efforts to contin-
ue the struggle. Col. Flourney, of Texas,
delivered glowing panegyric on Booth,
compared him to Brutus, and predicted for
him like enduring fame. Kirby Smith,
nolds, of Missouri, were present.
Col. Sprague, Gen. POpe's chief of staff,
was at the mouth of Red river on the 9TH
inst, waiting the arrival of Kirby Smith to
negotiate terms, and it is believed here
Smith will surrender as soon as he hears of
the action of Joe Johnston and Dick Tay-
lor. tf ,-

Gen. Sherman has heretofore been about
the oldest friend and defender Halleck had
among officers Of the army.
Gen. Grant said to-day he was in daily
expectation of hearing of the surrender of

fled that Smith was negotiating with our
forces with view to surrender.
Gen. Sherman telegraphs that he will re-
main with his troops and march with them
to Washington.
