n,s-rhe San Antonio Herald has infor'
nation from Mexico 10 the lstJuly. Forty
thousand U. s. troops were on the Rio
GranLc, O,0OO only of whom were white
Up to the lst no forces had gone higher up
the river than Rapeho Davis, The Herald
says;
We learn that Gen. Shelby had reached
the first named point in quiet aud peace
able manner, but was informed by the au-
thoritics in Peidras Negras, that he would
not be allowed to take his men into Mexico
with arms In their hands, but that II he
would leave his arms ihero would be no
objection TO HIS entry into tho country ns
emigrants, with himself aud men. We are
informed that General shelby laally agreed
TO this and sol,shis u; ms and cannon TO the
liberals at Peidras Ncgras. There were
$500 stands OF small arms and three pieces
of artillery, for which Shelby received
eleven thousand dollars; six thousand in
specie and five thousand in bonds issued by
the Liberals. The arms we're Immediately
shipped for chihuahua. The Governor OF
the State OF Coahuila, acted as agent for
the Liberals.
President Juarcz, is said to be at Chi
huahua, and that city is strongly fortified
No Imperial troops nearer than three hun
dred miles and not in sufficient force to
Justify an advance against Juarez's capital.
There is no truth in the report that Presi-
dent Juarcz, is about to visit the United
States.
psS-Tc take the following from the same
paper Of the S,h inst /;
Some cotton arrived and departed this
week for Mexico. 1t was all private cotton
and intended TO supply some OF the Mexi-
can Mills
Our worthy Mayor has found good EN-
ployment for all the yagrant negroes who
have been heretofore lettering about the
city. They now board and lodge ut the
jail, and work on the streets and pla-as TO
pay for the same.
The demand for houses to rent and stores
in which to do business still continues
Rents going up, Notwithstanding every
thing else is going down. Why don't some
of those persons who want houses and
stores, go TO work and build them? The
answer is, they are too poor, Gr can use
their means to . better advantage i'll some
thing else.
The fourth of July was celebrated by our
citizens in divers and sundry ways. Some
spent the day in consuming gunpowder with
small arms others in riding, and most all
in taking "swy glasses lagerpeer." Those
who celebrated the day, did it on their town
hook" as there was no regular celebration,
On Friday evening, an unfortunate diff
Guilty occurred, between Col. u. Vanward
and Mr. Stoerbeck, German, (both of this
city,) in which some four or five shots were
exchanged, resulting in two wounds being
inflicted upon the person Of Stoerbcck; one
in the wrist and one in the breast, which
bids fair to be mortal. Vanward immedi-
ateiy gave himself up to the officers of tho
law and was placed in Jail to await an ex-
animation. Stoerbeck was music teacher.
About three thousand U. S. troops, were
camped at Green Lake, last week. The
Victoria Advocate Of the lst inst, allowed
that these troops or n portion Of them would
occupy that city in day ar two. Green
Lake, is about 16 miles from Victoria.--
The force referred to, was under the COM
mand of Maj. Gen. Godfrey Weitzel, who
we understand is to make his head quarters
in this city. A portion of this force is
now no doubt on its way to San Antonio,
and will probably arrive some time next
week-we presume the heavy rains which
have prevailed in the lower country, hayc
tended much to impede the progress Of these
troops, but will not We Judge prevent them
from nnally reacItng san Antonio; and we
hope this opinion Quietly cxpressed) will
have the effect to calm the nerves Of those
who think t'they won't come till FALL
