By the arrival of the steampship Liberty,
we have dates from Vera Cruz to the 18th
inst, and from Cordova to the 10th.
a violent earthquake had been felt on
the I'd inst, at Cordova and Orizabe, and
even at the City of Mexico. At Cordova
great deal of damage was done. Many
houses vsere badly injured, and one church
was demolished, but fortunately 10 person
was hurt -
The Empress having returned from her
trip to Yueatan had gone with Maximilian
to visit other portions of the Empire.
Throughout the country the conviction
was becoming general that war between
the United States and France was iueYita-
bic and imminent. This fact was giving
great encouragement to the Liberals, and
vas developing an unexpected degree of
opposition to the Empire. The occurreu-
ces on the Rio Grande were, at the same
time, exciting feeling of great hostility
toward this country, on the part of the
French army and tfeir sypathizers.
The American colonist is maintain friend
ly relations with both the Imperialists and

ARREsMED.-Ou friend and fellow citi-
zen, Capt. EPu. GoRDoN, passed up the
road, on Monday last, under arrest. The
circumstances under which he was arrested
are about these: During Capt. G.'s alb
sence from home, in the rebel army, some
Federal soldier, or soldiers, erected a
house on his land. Having complied with
all the conditions of President Johnson's
Amnesty proclamation. he has long since
become loyal and taken possession of his
property. A short time since, Yankee
deliberately moved the aforesaid house from
Capt. G.'s land, who protested and brought
suit, obtaining judgment, of course, under
the civil laws of Tennessee. The fellow,
not satisfied with the decision against him,
appealed to the Military at Nashville. Capt.
GORDON was right in claiming his property,
and the Magistra te was right in giving him
JUDGMENT for its recovery.

A New Power

The publisher of the Goldsboro' MO-
Daily Ne,cs has been arrested BY the As
sistant Superintendent of freedmen of the
GoldsborO' District, for the publication of
articles distasteful to that functionary.-
Have the agents of the Freedman's Bureau
been invested with absolute power? A
year or two ago there was no such Bureau
in existence. It was a thing unknown to
our political system. Has it climbed so
rapidly that already it oYershadows judicial
authority, and controls the public press and
the liberty of the citizen? If an assistent
Superintendent of Freedmen can throw an
editor into prison we suppose that General
Howard can throw him into eternity with
flourish of his pen.

some time ago. DIR. Gwin, W no was arrested

had his table and writing materials pIaced
IN one of the classmates. Up and down the
gallery outside his retreat. constantly
marched a black guard. whose duty it was
to see that the prisoner of State made no
attempt to escape through the embrasure or
otherwise.
While busily employed one day, a gust of
wind carried OFT a sheet of his manuscript
and without a moments reflection br
Gwin dashed by the sentinel in pursuit of
the literary treasure. This thoughtless ae-
tlon nearly cost him his life, for the negro
soldier leveled his musket Immediately and
pulled the trigger but fortunately the cap
failed to explode Life at times il viii thus
