The Tribme's special from Leaven-
worth. Kansas, says that the Indian
Council at Fort Laramie has
broken up. 1t was a complete farce.
The Indians refusing to make peace
on their own terms-the withdrawal
of all troops and travel from their

The Liberal troops which had occu-
pied Mattamoras behaved handsome
| ly and Caravajal and partisans of
Juarez had for the time forgotten their
differences and united against the
common foe. The movements of
Marshal Bazarini against San Louis
| Potosi have been made in order to
succor the troops which had been
surrounded there by the Liberals, and
not for offensive operations as had
been supposed. At Tampico the
Liberals had prevented the en-
trance of provisions to the besieged
city, and the river was only available
for drinking purposes, and provisions
of all kinds were very dear.

Convention Mr. Raymond said, thai

the distinct understanding that none
but Union men were to participate
He had since been persuaded into diff

by himself, or the Times.

Union Members of Congress shoulC
