RAILROAD FAREs.-For some time past a
gentleman Of New York has been exciting the
especial wonder" OF conductors onythe Sixth
Avenue Railroad in that ci:y by paying his six
cents fare under protest On Monday, how
ever, they learned the ssmethod of his madness"
suit for Sl,0Oo being brought against the
Company. 1t Itappears that a State law Of 1857
provides that IL any railroad charges more
than three cents for q ride of less than q mile,
fine Of $50 shall be imposed, 70 be recovered by
the party charged. The plaintiff, named
less than a mile, and proved that he had been
charged six cents in twenty instances. The
Company replied by showing a charter from
the city permitting them TO collect the amount
charged. IL was urged that the city had no
right TO confer powers in conflict with the laws
OF the State. No decision has yet been given.

ILLEGAL SACRIFICES OF LAND.
A Mobile lawyer informs the people
of Alabama, through the columns of
the Register, that lands are illegally
sacrificed at Sheriff's sales in that
State that land owner SO sold out
can redeem his lands at the sacrificed
price for two years afterwards; that
if it sells for less than its value, or if
it rises in value in two years, he has
the option to redeem it, or sell his
equity of redemption, and that
debtors homestead is exempt. from
sale under all process. If this is all
true, the people had better consult
their lawyers, and make the specu-
lators disgorge.

FROM MEXICO.
Proposed Campaign i'm New Leon and
COahuila.

The New York Times correspondent
sends the following from Havana on
the LIST:
The latest accounts received at the cap
ital from Monterey and Saltillo are to
the 3lst of January.
According to these, the Imperialists
were about to open the campaignin that
quarter to conquer the States of New
Leon and COahuila. Gen. Doual had
left San Luis with the cavalry. Large
forces of infantry were to follow.
The lmperialist accounts say that at
this news the merchants and families of
Monterey who had Taken refuge at Sal
tillo, began to get ready to remove to
the first named city.
On the following day, the 31st, the
%squadrons Of the regiment of the EN-
press, commanded by Col. Lopez, entered
SaltillO.
Col Lopez, with about 80 cavalry, ar
rived on the 9th at San Salvador, when
he heard that the guerrilla chiefs, Mar
tinez ami Macias, had passed with their
gangs in the morning through the place.
On the same day a Northumberland
troops arrived at EncarnaciOn. Their
commander held Immediately an inter
view Win COl. Lopez, OIleTlng ms asSIs-
tance, but the latter replied that he be-
lieyed himself able, with his soldiers, TO
resist any attack. At II o'clock at night
Col. L0pez's camp was attacked on all
sides by the above named guerrillas, con-
sisting Of over 500 horsemen, the attack
being made with more than customary
vigor. While a portion of his soldiers
were fighting hand to hand with
the enemy, Col. Lopez made the
rest mount on horseback, and at the
head Of them made several successive
charges. The engagement lasted for an
hour and a half, but the guerrillas, not
withstanding their numerical superiority,
were compelled to give up the attempt,
dispensing in all directions. The Liberals
had, according to the account of Col. LO-
peg, 81 killed, including three officers,
and left in the hands of their opponents
6~prisoners, 80 rifles, II muskets, y lances,
and a lot Of ammunition. The Impe-
rialists had 8 men killed and Il wounded,
their commander, Col. Lopez, having re-
ceived two slight wounds.
This, like all the other accounts of the
Imperial victories, must be taken cum
grdBO sails, as the news proceeds from
lmperialist sources.

Remarks Of Michael Scanlan-DeteTDli-
nation to Fight-"TYte men tgh0 acotad
be free, themselves must strike the
b5ot0.n

Al a meeting Of Fenians in Chicago,
on the sth, Mr.. Michael Seaman made
the following remarks:
This last suspension of the writ Of
fdbeds corpus in Ireland shows to the
world that England has been a great
sham, and that her cry of liberty has
been adelusi0n. Before there Is a blow
struck in Ireland she is forced to suspend
the writ Of hdbeus corpus. This is not
an injury to Ireland, but has made every
lrishman feel that the issue is his native
land against England, and in such a
struggle there is no Irishman that Will
take the side of England. 1t has made
friends for the cause and united
the Irish people. The reason OF
haBeds corpus, Gen. Sweeny said, is this F:
she wants to crush out speedily the life Of
Ireland, so that her troops may be with
drawn from there for the protection Of
other interests. To meet this movement,
we must strike her before she can with
draw a man from Ireland, and the mo-
ment we do strike Ireland will spring TO
her feet when her troops are withdrawn.
The organization cannot raise too much
money. We can raise men, but we can
not raise enough money TO put sc, 900 men
in the field without appeaiingt to the pub
lie. IL is a simple sum in figures. 1000
men require 1000 times SIG, 500 to equip,
or over $4,000, and the two regi-
ments required from this city will
need $4,000. We must have this
money to put these men into the field,
or all our talk and bombast about British
tyranny and Irish freedom will go for
nothing. Give US enough to put 10000
men in the field under Sweeney, and he
promises that he will fight his own way
to ireland, and that he will manufacture
his own ~gTeenbacks, and that be will
free Ireland, but that it win take a GER
tain time to do it, and that the only road
is, that we can get in, 5000 miles from her
W basis, and can fight her with this
country at our back, which is a second
Ireland, as it hates England and es-
pouses the cause Of universal liberty.
We want to see all men free. Free Ire
land, and the monarchs of France, Eng
land and Germany will be overturned,
and republics planted on their ruins.
We are not fighting the English people
as we IAN see by the speech of John
BRIGHT. The English people are not
against US, but love liberty equally with
ourselves, and will have it. We want
money. 1t takes $1,000 0 to buy
four batteries Of heavy guns, which
we must have, because they make better
speeches before the walls of Quebec or
any other place than all the Irish orators
that I've were raj ed. Forty thousand
Irish bayonets IS a security that the Irish
bonds viii be paid. Let US show the
American people that we mean fight, and
that we know what liberty is, and they
will help US with men and money. Re-
member what 0'COnneu said The men
that would be free themselves must strike
the blow
