aeHiean News.
The Herald's Mexico correspondence says
that the Austrian man-of-War DandeliOn
has come to an anchorage at Vera Cruz, and
was taking on board a large quantity of
provisions. It was regarded as a fixed fact
that Macmillan and a large b0dy-guard
of Austrian troops would soon embark on
her for Europe. On the other hand, it is
said that Marshal Bazaine will order his de-
tention by force if necessary.
Several letters from Sauts Anna tspartles
id the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz had
been intercepted by Macmillan and
numerous arrests had taken place. Santa
Anna's estates near Jalapa were con6scated,
several millions of dollars being by this
means turned into the Imperial Treasury.
New Orleans Matters
A New Orleans special 10 the Tribune
saws that official information at Headquar-
tiers shows that the statement of Governor
voorhees, that AZ policemen and several
citizens We're either killed or wounded is an
unmitigated falsehoOd. One policeman
died Of sun-strOke and about two men were
badly wounded. One citizen, a rebel, was
accidentally killed by the police. On the
other side the record will show the slaugh-
ter to be over 100 Union men and the
wounding of about 500. These are the
facts. I have it from trustworthy author
ity that General S~heridan's telegram of the
LIST of August was perverted for political
purposes. Among the sentences withheld
from publication, was one that he (Sheri-
dam held Mayor John T. Monroe RESPONSE
bic for the murders committed on Monday.
Lieutenant Butts, of the Freedmen's Blu
reau, has been murdered and robbed in
Jackson Parish.
The rebels are complaining that they did
not kill enough Yankee conventiOnists, but
brag that the time is coming when they
will finish their work. Union men are
afraid to go out on the streets after dark,
and invariably barricade their doors during
the night. With the present police life is
terribly insecure day or night.
A special to the Tribune says that a pri-
vate letter to General Howard, Inspector
General, dated VicksbUrg, Miss, August 8,
states that things are getting worse in this
country every day. Freedmen murders are
nothing new. At least thirty have been
killed during the past SIX weeks in this
county. Within the past t~enty-foUr hours
one Union Southeruer and two Northern
men have complained to me thatthey have
come to town because they dare not remain
longer on their places near Edwards De-
pot.
