THE CONDITION OF MEXICO.

| Almost interestingand admirably clea
and connected statement of the condi
ton of affairs in and around Matamoras
and of the positions AMI movements o
the opposing republican and impera
forces during the siege of that town by
the former in the latter part of las
month and the beginning of the present
is furnished by the Brownsville CORE
spondent of the New York Herald. The
attack and repulse of the republicans OF
the 18th ult., frequently alluded to, ans
represented by the imperial organs a.
such magnificent success for theil
cause, is now plainly shown to have
been very small affair, Gen. Escobe,lo
commanding the republican army, con
sisting Of three to four thousand men,
had given directions for a complete re.
connoissance of the enemy's position on
that day, but no order for an attack.
One ofhis officers, however, command.
ing small body of Americans, not fully
understanding the orders, directed his
men To make an assault ut particular
point, which they did with the greatest
success, capturing the imperial works
and guns; but, not being supported,
they had to Withdraw. This was the sum
and substance of the affair which the
imperialists paraded as great victory
The besiegers maintained their position
around the city for several days after
wards. During the progress ofthe seigc,
brownsville, which Is on the Texas side
OF the Rio Grande, directly opposite
Matamoros, was filled with people from
the latter place. who fled to escape the
expected attack. American soldiers
stood on the river bank and checred The
opposite, and for this an
imperial gunboat fired ON the American
side. General Weilzei has ordered an
OF this affair. General
Weitzel at the request of General Esco. |

'ent over the river tents for the latter's
and many of them were
to Brownsville, and received
he attention of lie United States army
nrgeons there. The iinperiaIists pro-
essed TO have discovered heinous plot
D surrender the city aud assasinate Gen.
LEILA among the Officers of a party of
bout four hundred Americans at Mata-
ioros in the imperial service, known as
ontra Guerillas. Two of these officers,
of the Confederate army in
,is country, were court martiaIed and
TO be shot. One of them was {
The Norfolk post. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1865-1866, 1865-11-25

executed, but the other escaped. The
Matamoros papers charge that this plot
was purely American, that fifty-five
thousand dollars was to have been paid
to the conspirators for its execution, and
that a portion of the money had been paid
and that the remainder was in Browns
vile. AS heretofore reported the repub-
cans. disappeared from before Matamoros3
some days ago. A New Orleans des.
patch gives as the reason their reception
of information that the imperiaists were
| moving from Monterey to attack them
| in the rear. There are also New Orleans
rumors that Bagdad, at the mouth of the
Rio Grande, is beseiged by the republi-
cans, and that a French naval officer has
made an unsuccessful demand on Gen.
Weilzel for the surrender of the impe-
rial vessel captured by the republicans
and taken to Brownsville. Gen. Fred
erick Steele, lately commanding the
United States forces i'm the western dis
trict Of Texas, which includes our Rio
Grande frontier, has been superseded by
General Weitzel, commander of the
Twehty-fifth army corps. Itewas I'M
derstood in Texas that the cause of Gen.
Steele's removal was the allegation that
he was on too intimate terms and in
sympathy with the imperial officers of
the Mexican border; but the Browns
will correspondent defends him against
this charge. He has been assigned to
the command of the department. of Co
lumbia, comprising the state of Oregon.
and Washington and Idaho territories.
1t was understood in Texas that all the
colored troops of our army on the from
tier were shortly to be withdrawn and
mainly mustered out of service. They
would be replaced by regiments of the
regular army. 'r lu etHlta ait lai

BAKER,

We published, yesterday, an article
on General l.. G. Baker, which we
copied from the New York Citizen, a
weekly journal; edited by Colonel Hal
pine. Since doing this, we have read n
defence of General l.. G. Baker in the
Washington Chronicle, a journal said to
he edited by Colonel Forney. The de-
fender of the defendant begins with the
announcement that General Baker
has one eminent distinctiOn'-- and what
is it?-" he is, beyond all doubt, the
best-abused man in the nation" He
isis he? And this is what you call
eminence in Washington! Who con-
tributes to this "abuse pa Is it Colonel
Halpine--a gentleman of the most un-
blemished character in the United
States--is it he? From what we know
of that gallant officer, he could n OF have
been moved by the guilty motives which
the Chronicle ascribes to those honest
hosts who, in the name of God and
Decency, protest against the insolencc of
such officers. The editor Of the CitiEca
gave reasons why he was moved to say
tina. General Baker was u disgrace to
the service; and tho editor of the
Chronicle meets those reasons with the
assertion that there is not plundercr,
in or out Of office--thcre is not 4 dis
honestbounty-broke or any other crini-
inal, whose deeds have been detected and
unveiled by the agency of this efficient
and invaluable officer, who is not ready
to veil the chorus of abuse against
him." Let us hold on to this, and see
how much it has to do with the charges |
against the detective. Read the quota
tion over again. Don't you see 1t meets
nothing. 1t asserts simply that rogues
are afraid of the spy. The point made
against him is that he is unworthy Of
the Office he holds, that he abuses his
great powers, and that honest men-as
in the case with Fish in Baltimore-have
as much reason to be afraid of him as
the rogues and bounty-brokers have.
Let US see how Colonel Halpine puts il.
THAT Baker was bad, bold, tool, and
may have been useful in certain eases,
we admit; but the fred impression IN res. I
Jard to him as that he first created aud {
'rgoaiscd hin,seJ most Of the crimes he 4
discovered and that he has misllsed {
he powers entrusted 20 him and the 3
Protection afforded by Mr.. Stanton's \
avor, with a recklessness which only a
lis long and desperate training as an II
dventrrer in California could have {
endered possible to any mans nature" II
Inc Chronicle replies that these are tl
esty libels, and asks the public to .,
