Gen. Caroiat was some time ago sent by
President Juarez as envoy to the United
States, with full power to enter into terms
with public or private parties for aid for
Mexico. He carries with him blank forms
signed by the President, for every pur-
pose. This officer is looked for daily,
when it will be learned how far he has
met with success in his mission. A cor.
respondent says about " o'clock A. n.

A. K. GRIN.-This gentleman has been
appointed by the District J Judges Of Storey
county to fill the vacancy in the Board OF
County Commissioners caused BY the
resignation Of Mr.. Knox. Mr.. Grim is
one Of the firm Of B. F. Hastings s Co..
bankers in Virginia; is interested in the
welfare of Storey county, and as an
honest. upright and good business man,
stands equal to any man in the county.
We doubt whether his appointment was
made upon political grounds-as init.
mated by the Union Of this morning-but
rather as to his fitness for the position. So
far as We know, the sentiments Of the peo-
pie Of this end of the county-and 1t Is

ENGLISH IMPUDENcE AND
SHUFFLING.

OF all acts Of impudence on the part OF
British Intermediates in our affairs, the
,ction Of Confederate bond-holders in
.alling a meeting "to consider their alter
d position. now that the Government OF
he United States has become de facto the
government Of the Confederate States" IS
he supremest. The idea Of making q call
N the United States Government to pay
he money which they have doled out to
left Davis s Co., for four long years for
he openly ayowed purpose Of destroying
his Government, is too extremely ridic-
'llous to have originated in the Uranium
# any other than a regular John Bull.
This presumption, however, is not much
lhead of the manner in which the London
Times, and kindred English papers, deal
with American affairs. From the time
when the first shot was fred on Sumter
ill the fall of Richmond, they could see
Nothing but threatening signs Of war.
When we were busily enough engaged
with u home affairs, and gave up Mason
and Slidell. and everything else but honor
land almost that), for the sake Of peace,
hose English papers could see nothing
tut war, talk Of nothing but war, urge
nothing but war; but now, when the re-
5ellion is wiped out, and u iron mon
-.ers Of the sea are steaming eastward into
European waters, and our Minister at St.
James is making demand in such impera-
tive tones for the pirates Of the Alabama
and the payment of the heavy bills for the
damage done BY English ships and Eng
lish seamen. the figure of grim war which
has for so long met their gaze when turn
ed westward, has suddenly changed to
peace-sweet, smiling peace; and, not
withstanding all the demands which are
frightening poor old Lord Palmerston out
Of his wits, the John Bull, editors "can
not see a speck of war in the western
horizon; no. not even a cloud as big as a
mans hand" Such shutting about Is
purely English. Bully and buncombe
where there is no danger, incapable Of in
,ult, and extremely near-sighted when
they think there is danger ahead. clamor-
u as q lot Of Jew hucksters when they
think there Is some money lost, they will
war forever with the Chinese, drive from
their homes and despoil of their goods the
efsminate Hindoos, bluster and threaten
a neighboring power when in trouble. but
be most friendly and peaceable, and deny
all their contemplate acts, when r~essisu-
ton is demanded Of them for the wrongs
they have committed. The p~eaceable pro-
LESSONS which now come from England
with every steamer are so much at variance
with the former bluster and action, is as
disgusting as the late presumpsuous action
Of the English Confederate bond-holders
is ludicrous.

NRw York, Sept. 6.-The Tribune's
correspondent at Matamoras, August II.
had q long conversation with General
Delon Of the Liberal army. The latter
says that he wants assistance so urgently
that, unless It is given in some way, the
cause will be lost. They have no money,
arms, ammunition, or clothing, and even
no provisions. This last want is so much
fel, that large bodies of men cannot keep
the field. It is only by entreaty that the
chiefs can hold them together for short
periods. Delon told the writer that he
and others had TO beg them BY all they
held dear to keep together; that he has
seen men lying on the ground moved TO
tears by the words Of their leaders. The
bodies yet in the field are. Gen. Negrete's
5000 men, Gen. Gareia's 5000. General
Delon's 1000, Gen. Riva Palacio's 1900,
Gen. Hinigoss' 800. with Juarez's 800 ;
total l4,400. This is the total force that
can be said to be acting under orders Of
the Government. The first corps in i'm
portance is that Of General Negrete, which
holds the State Of Chihuahua; second,
that Of General Garcia. which operates on
the line OF the Sala. From Vera Cruz to
Tabasco there are a number Of bands Of
men who make war in the name Of the
general Government, but will not obey
orders from any one. Chiefs Of these
bodies ought. Delon said, to be ranked SO
that their men might be brought into
regular commands.
The Administration is nov formed Of
tbs executive and those ministers only.

provided the prosecution shall be skillfully
conducted That question is the one which
we noticed in our issue of last Saturday
morning, viz: whether he who performs
such acts anciliary to war levied at an
other and remote place, as will constitute
part in the fact of levying war, is liable
to prosecution in the district where the war
is actually levied, or only in the district
where he performs such anciliary acts In
support of the position that he is liable to
prosecution in the place where the war is
actually levied, though not present. we
printed, on Saturday, some forcible argu-
ments in the form of extracts from the
"notes of our fellow citizen, j. j. Coombs,

thorn Gap; in the while | were coming by
the Holly Hedge.
For a minute the farmer paused, but the
next he burst into a fit of uncomfortable
laughter; peal after peal, each higher than
the last. The poor woman had but one ex-
planation for this phenomenon She
thought it delirium; a lightning before
death; and was beginning to wiring her
hand and lament, when she was checked
by the merry yeoman:
Dame, thee bee'st a fool 1t was | my
self thee seed at the church porch | seed

face, but, thanks to God, thee bee'st lv-
ing, and that is more than cared to say of
thee, this day ten-monthW
The dame made no answer. Her heart
was too full to speak, but, throwing her
arms round her husband, she showed that
she shared in his sentiment And from
that hour, by practising careful absti-
nence from offence, or temperate suffrance
of its appearance, they became the most
united couple in the country But it must
be said that their comfort was not COM
plete till they had seen each other, in safe

JEFF. DAVIS'S IRONING, AND WHY 1T
WAS DONE.

Why and how jeff. Davis was manacled,
or whether he was manacled at all, has
been enveloped i'll some uncertainty. 1t is
true that irons were placed on his feet, but
they were subsequently removed-when
they had answered their purpose.
Not only was he imperous and naughty,
as usual but he became absolutely obstre-
porous, insulting the guard, abusing the
food at his attendants and tearing "a seces-
sion passion to tatters generally-sOme-
times threatening others, some times melo-
dramatically courting bayonet puncture
Of his own breast.
AS necessity (and possibly as pun
ishment and warning) orders were given to
place manacles on his feet.
The Captain in charge, attended by a
blacksmith and manacles, approached, say
ing, Mr.. Davis, | have very unpleasant
duty to perform" Ny God y exclaimed
jeff, "you don't intend to put those things
on me-" Such were the orders the Cap
tain could only obey. jeff demonstrated.
They should never be put on The Cap
tain must go to Gen. Halleck and have the
order cOuntermanded. The Captain re-
piled, But Mr. Davis the order came from
Gen. Halleck"
Davis insisted that the order must be
countermanded The Captain said: You
are military man, Mr.. Davis, and know
that my only course is-to obey orders y
jeff. then went off in more towering pas
sion than before, and declared that he never
little cool, and mechanically placing one
foot on a stool, the Captain told the black
smith to proceed.
Leaning forward to take to his arms the
heels Of his Rebel majesty, JEFF. seized him,
and with a vigorous push tumbled him
backward on the floor, while the black.
smith, justly indignant, hurled his hammer
at "t the President" but missed him. Davis
then attempted to seize a gun, and asked to
be bayoneted. The guard presented bay
onets, and the Captain feared he might
rush upon them, and so ordered the guard
to fall back
The captain thap called in four stout men
and ordered them to lay jeff, on his bunk,
which they did, the prisoner resisting with
almost preternatural strength, and writhing
in their grasp while the blacksmith ham,
mered on the rivet with a will. When
placed in his chair again Jeff looked in ut
ter despair upon his manacled limbs and
burst into tears.
This medicine had the desired effect, and
the great Rebel became comparatively do
cile, far less defiant, but more depressed
and the irons have since been removed
1t was feared that he would starve him
self to death, refusing persistently to eat
soldiers rations (Which c. c. Clay munches
without murmur), and his physician pre-
scribed a more agreeable diet, which the
President" ate with great avidity-and still
enjoys this extra fare.
