Documents concerning the free government
varro, Consul of the Republic of Mexico in
the United States, including communications
from President Juarez and Mr.. Romero his
Minister in Washington.
Juarez left chihuahua on the 9Th of August,
and arrived on the 18th at Ell Paso, where he
established his government, surrounded BY
his Cabinet, as we have heretofore announced,
but no talking that he has found it expedi-
ent to thus temporarily change his capitol.
He is not only hopeful but confident of an
ultimate and complete triumph over the in
vaders. He has still large bodies of troops
at his disposal who have commenced attack
ing the various detachments of the Imperial
lists on detail. Now that the latter have SO
greatly weakened their lines by extending
them that he anticipates decisive victory for
his soldiers very soon. He does think that
Maximilian's force will be likely to attempt
to drive him from Ell Paso but even should
they succeed in doing so, he has no idea Of
abandoning his country, but will remove to
some other point within the limits and there
continue the struggle, sanguine of ultimate
success
The officers Of the Mexican Republic who
have arrived here, leaving FL Paso about the
people of that town were unanimous in an
enthusiastic reception of President Juarez.
Gen. Negrette, with one hundred officers,
had gone to the interior to collect and disci-
pline the recruits, and is expected to be able
TO raise q large force in short time.
The Herdids special says the Burch family,
arrested by order of General Baker for steal.
ing and branding Government horses, and in
whose behalf Judge Wiley issued writ of
ha6eds corpus, have not yet been disposed Of
before military court. The President set
aside Judge Wiley's writ, not so much to take
these men out of civil courts as TO establish a
precedence which it would re-establish, open
the prison doors to Wirz or any other criminal
who might choose to avail himself of the
writ.
The statement in the Washington column
of the New York Tribune, that Colonel Wm
Thorpe is entitled to the credit of ferreting
out the rebel incendiaries and steamboat
burners on the Mississippi river. does great
injustice TO the late Col. Sanderson, of Phila-
delphia, to whom it really belongs Colonel
Sanderson was at the head of the detective
service in the Department of Missouri, and
died at his post from excessive application TO
business. Col. Thorpe was only photographic
reporter to Col. Sanderson and Was never
chief OF the secret service, as stated in the
Tribune. This correction is due to the
memory of faithful officer, who literally
sacrificed his life in the service of his country.
The Worlds special says it may be safely
asserted that nothing definite has been deter
mined relative to the trial of JEFF. Davis. The
rumor that it is to take place in Richmond
about the middle of October is merely graasi-
itous. The President has only gone so far,
it is believed, as to declare that when it does
come off, that it shall be before civil tribu-
nal.
There is very excellent authority for declsr-
ing that two, if not three, members of the
Cabinet are opposed to giving JEFF Davis
any trial whatever. They prefer, it is init
mated, that he should leave the country for
ever.
