united to clean ont the Americans; in fact
ii was So rumored. Every available man
was in line at daylight and several addition
al companies sent across the river. Organ
ization Immediately commenced in Browns
vile and some five companies reported for
duty. All had seen service IN the late war.
The companies were about equally divided
of late Confeds and 'Yanks Yet the
greatest good humor prevailed every where.
The forces OF Gen. Escobedo made very
spirited attack upon the works, but paid
dearly for their temeTity Out Of 1000
troops all told, they lost at least roo. Some
estimated the loss at 900 killed, wounded
and missing.
General Escobedo and Cortnas are very
wroth with Us Americans, asserting land ]
doubt not fally believing that the American
troops IN Matamoras assisted in their dis
comfiture. OF course it viii be necessary
to cover up his defeat with some plausible
story. Yet I very much question if there
was one American but prayed for the sue
cess Of Eseobedo. Now that Escobedo is
so severely punished there is nothing for
him to do but accede to Canales' terms, or
withdraw to Monterey.
The Americans still continue to occupy
the Plaza. While in Natamoras, to-day, l
had beautiful view Of the city and camps,
from the cupola Of the Cathedral This
building, the grandest structure in the
Southwest, Is sadly defaced by the ravaees
of war Everywhere it is spotted with
musketry, or broken by artillery
We called upon our new Cousul, Mr..
Manshan, who has Just arrived To-
assume his most. difficult duties He an
formed me that he had 81 100000 in gold
in his keeping and that without the assist
anee Of the American soldiers, he would be
in great danger of being pillaged.
Now chat the fighting is over, for the
present, I think our troops win return to
their legitimate side Of the river Should
there be any future developments, [ VIII
not fail to give them.

EprroEs OF THE INQUIRER;
Permit the prosecuted teacher of Union
proclivities, to say word in standardization,
in view of the reference made to me by that
mean defamor, who wrote the spurious Toby
letter, published in last weeks Gazette As
itregards the authorship of the Pilgrim let.
ters, that is a matter of but little Importance.
One thing, however, is certain, Pilgrim s."
sketches are too hfe-ike, and he tells too
much truth, for our corrupt conservative pro-
scriptonists. The points stated by Pilgrim
in my case, are substantially correct. This
fact viii probably be sustained by competent
testimony at the proper time and place. Tn
til then. let the. public suspend judgment,
with regard to my fitness for teaching. Tn
fortunately, for me, had too much selfres-
pect too be party tool. Hence this perse
cution. AS it regards literary qualifications,
/ am willing to compare notes with this ma
licious trickster, who has dauS wickedy, by
inunendo assailed my reputation. No doubt
the Editors Of the Gazette, had some difficult
ty in preparing his crude communication for
the press. have some specimens of his or
biography. In my possession, for the inspec-
ton Of the curious. Allow few specimens
''witeh, instead Of which 4quarl' instead
of QUARREL &c. &c.
When the case IS thoroughly investigated
an enlightened public win be enabled to Judge
between me and nay tradneer. Should this
coatemptible slanderer refer to me again-ii
there is particle Of honor or manliness in
his corrupt heart, let him give has proper
name. Very Respectfully

nest During the recess, the members
drafted their bills and were prepared to sub
NIT them and have them referred to the
appropriate committees, Immediately upon
assembling. Every feature which entered
into the late canvas has been fully provided
for. There were more important bills in
troduced during the first week of the ses-

sented in the same space of time. We are
sorry that our columns are SO much crowded

Phe New suffrage

la the District of Columbia the first ex-
pertinent Of the abolition OF slavery was
made. ltwas supposed to be an exceptional
act when resolved upon and it was predicted
that such measure could not be affected
IN any other part of the country yet the
people since that time have beheld the grand
experiment OF universal emancipation, and
no man now beheVes that 1t IS not permanent
According to the action ofthe United States.
Senate, 1t Is probable that another great 20
htlcal experiment is to be made in the same
District. The blll granting suffrage to male
citizens, without distinction Of color. will 20
throgh the House, without doubt. Ii viii
be vetoed by the President and passed over
hIs veto, and become Il law. Hillthe mea-
sure thus resolved upon be the pioneer Of
similar changes elsewhere2 1t may be as
sumed to be doubtful now, but just as doubt
iu was the total overthrow of slavery when
It was annulled In the District of Columbia.
Lock at this measure as We will from the
point OF expedieney, we must admit that it
Is thoroughly democratic in the ancient
sense OF that word aud not according to the
present party perversion. 1t may not be
wise, 1t may prove harmful, but it is Just, If
we admit that all men are created equal. 1t
Isl we think the loreIunner of like changes
elsewhere, not only in the South, but at the
North also. Great REFORMS seldom stop
with single victories. They have the spirit
OF progress with them, and will 60 onaespite
every obstacle, We now think that nnre-
stricted negro Suffrage is strange, but the
novelty viii soon depart, and then, with.
out prejudice or passion, we viii be able
to judge by actual experienced whether the
measure was wise or harmful ~ PHILADELPHIA

account Of which was so very meagre, that

account of the same, as well as more recent
developments
The crossing Of the Americans was doubt
less at the instance of the present coThman-
der of the city, viz: Seyoando Canales,
although appearances were contrary to this
opinion on the 25th instant. A conference
vas held at which Canales offered the sur
render Of the city 90 the Juarez Govern
ment, upon the assurance that he and bis
command should be protected in life and
property This General Escobedo refused,
saying that Canales was a traitor to the
Government and must abide by his treason
which meant that he would be shot at once,
Gen. Canales said that being the case h(
had better be shot IN battle than in colo
blood, and that he would fight to the last.

THE RIGHT OF WOMEN To VoTE-In the
United States Senate on Tuesday last, there
was a lengthy discussion on the right OF wo-
men to vote-a side question, which Mr..
Cowan of this State interjected into the de-
bate on suffrage for the District of Column
bia. The New York Tribune says,
Mr. Cowan chooses to represent himself
as an ardent champion Of the claim of wo-
men to the elective franchise. 1t is not
necessary to question his sincerity, but the
occasion which he selects for the exhibition
of his new born zeal subjects him to the sus-
picion of being considerably more anxious to
embarrass the bill for enfranchising the
blacks than to amend it by comforting upon
the women the enjoyment of the same right.
Mr. Cowan was once Republican. He
abandoned his party, has been repudiated
by his State, and may well be casting about
for some new issue by which to divert atten-
tion from his faithlessness ON the old. We
have heard that Mr. Cowen affects the clas-
sizes: we are sure, therefore, that he will
thank us for reminding him of that familiar
story out of Plutarch respecting Aleibiades.
When the dissolute Athenian had cut off
the tail of his dog, which was the dog 5
principal ornament and all Athens cried out
against him for the act, Alcibiades laughed
and said: Just what wanted has hap
pened. | wished the Athenians. to talk
about this that they mightnot say something
worse of me-
We are not to be suspected indifference
to the question whether women shall vote.
at a proper time we mean to urge her claim
but we object to allowing measure of ur-
gent necessity, and on which the public has
made up its mind, to be retarded and i'm
periled. Nor do we think the Radical
majority in the Senate need be beholden to
the enemy camp for suggestions as to their
policy. We want to see the ballot put in
the hands of the black without one days
delay added to the long postponement of
Bis just claim, When that is done, we shall
