Liberals Confident OF success.

New YORK, Oct. 17.-Private letters
dated at Monterey, have been received by
prominent merchants in this city. The
Liberals were very confident of success, and
were continually receiving munitions Of war,
and as they advanced were obtaining the
necessary funds for carrying on the war. At
the time of writing the French were retreat
ing instead Of advancing.
Brownsville letters, dated October Sd, have
also been received. Gen. Tapea was still
in the vicinity Of Matamoras.
Canales has issued so many pronuneia-
mentos to support his monte bank that the
merchants Of Matamoras are leaving as fast
as they can get away.
Tapea was in great favor among the mer-
chants and all prominent citizens, and is
supported by Juarez. He will ultimately
be placed in power and will stand by Jnarez

The receipts from internal revenue sour
ces, exclusively, up to this date, amount to
over $1l5,000, 900, which is in excess Of one
million per diem, from the beginning Of the
present fiscal year, nominally, the first Of

this source will reach to nearly the same fig

largely in excess of the amount estimated

DAFFODILS.

Down the cool darkness of the dell,
Past seanty grass and riffs Of clay,
The river, which love so well,
Went signing on its seaward way.
Around the old accustomed larch,
And meath the rusty.red beech trees,
The golden daffodils of March ...
Were tossing in the gusty breeze.
Standing amid the blossoms fair,
As she had stood in bygone years,
saw her with her floating hair,
And eyes which startled light from tears.
Twas not the wind the trees which shook,
Her cheek with hues of carmine dyed;
And the small slender hand took
Trem0led, and yet was not denied.
So, when the shadows left the plain,
And light shone on the distant hills,
We, who were boy and girl again,
fingered 10 gather dahodis.
And in my heart soft sense grew,
Vague and imperfect, but yet sweet
Those blooming Lent-lilies threw
: garland fair at young loves feet.

WRITING AND AcTISG.-If | were ambitious Of
of an immortal name, and had genius enough to
insure it by writing, would not write. Action,
when pure, bright and unsullied, is the nobler
sort of immortality; and writing, unless actions
correspond with it, is to be remembered only as
Seneca's. How few of the ancient Greek and Ro-
man heroes were authors, yet how many live TO
us in their deeds. -Fschylus, Sophocles and
Homer are read but Socrates, Timoleon, Leon
idas, Brutus, Portia and Aria arc known. Sigh
nal actions of heroism, devotion and generosity
have saved them from oblivion Immortality.
conferred by action is fully as honorable and
infinitely more universal than that conferred by
writing For millions are incapable Of compre-
bending the ideas of a great author who are
warmed and made to glow at the narration OF Q
noble and gsaSSoUs dsNd---Ea.HHrd TrSLH'"1Sy.

THE CoTToS QCEsTIoN.-Six years ago, the
man who might have prophesied that the United
States would levy an import duty oQ raw cot
ton, to protect the native article, would have
been pronounced insane or a fool. At that time
we monopolized the markets of the world, so
far as raw cotton was concerned. But ihe stu
pidity of the last Congress has brought ebout
an event which, six years ago, would have been
pronounced impossible. We have before alluded
to the great burdens placed upon poor people
BY the three-c@nts -s-pOund tax levied UPON all
cotton raised in the United States. But the
mischief does not stop there. The three-cents-
pound duty levied upon our own cotton, is Just
SO much premium otfersd by our Government to
stimulate and encourage the cotton growers of
Egypt, India and Mexico. The stuI id Congress,
to protect the,country in part against the ruin
Gus consequences of its folly, has been COM
PEELED to place protective. duty of three cents a
pound on all imported cotton, in order that for
eign cotton growers cannot drive our own cot
ton raisers from American markets. Just think
of this-in addition to levying an onerous bur-
den upon all the poor and midding classes in
the United States, by the cotton tax, the inan-
ciering ability of Thad Stevens and his brother
radicals has rendered it necessary to levy pro-
tectve tariff on imported cotton, in order that
the cotton growing business of the United States
may not he ruined altogetherl So much for the
wisdom of the negropholists.-S. +. Cell.

SUMMER.

Pleasant the swarm about the bough;
The meadow whisper round the woods,
And for their eoolness pleasant nov
The murmur Of the falling foods.
Pleasant beneath the thorn to lie,
And let q summer fancy loose
To hear the euckoo's double cry.
To make the midnight sloth's excuse.
Painting, but pleased, the cattle stand,
knee-deep IN water, weed aud sledge,
And scarcely crop the greener band
OF osiers round the river edge.
But harki From of the south wind sweeps,
The golden ioliaged groves among,
Renewed or lulled, with rests and leaps
Ah how it thakes the spirit long.
To drop its earthyly wei ght and drift
Like yon white cloud on pinions free,
Beyond th-t mountains purple rift,
And Ger that seintillating sea.

AFTER BRowYLow.-We confess to surprise at
seeing tho Red Bluff Independent giving heavy
note of condemnation to "pOlitical parsons"
and especially to that dirty pup, Brownlow of
Tennessee, the renegade and apostate. True,
the Independent, in some connection, goes out Of
its way to get fling at Andrew Johnson, but
that does not detract from the force of the arti-
Gle as against those at whom it is particularly
aimed. Rear 10: .... r..r'
"when minister of the gospel abandons his
sacred vocation, which is held in awe and res
pect by the most irreyerent of men, and soils
the hem Of his surplice by attempting to wade
through the mire Of politics, be renders himself
an object of mingled pity and contempt. In
this connection we desire to say that we never
included Starr King in this category. He made
speeches, 1t is true, but is was on the question
Whether the republic that sprang into existence
on the 4th of July, '76 should live or die. He
was no politician, because be never sought for
office. We pass over several of the Kidney to
which this article is directed, who have figured
in our Legislature, to take up the letter of the
clerical rowdy Brownlow, Governor of Tenn
essee, to John W. Forney, the Brutus who has
politically killed the would,be Caesar of Ameri-
ca. BrOwnlow whose Unionism is very shall
low excuse for his coarse vuigarity, places him
self on par with the accidental President
when he styles him dead dog at the White
House." The SO dead duck" speech of President
johnson stamped him as a man low and coarse
in mental organization, fit only to desecrate and
dishonor the chair jn-lwhich had reposed such
patriots as Washington Monroe and Lincoln. We
| for one, will never consent to recognize as q
leader Of the national party, a man who uses
such blackguard invective to give emphasis to
his otherwise vapidAnd senssless words. We
hesitate for words 20 denounce the duplicity o
Andrew Johnson, but such terms as BroEnlow's
editorials TEEN with, never occur 70 us. Bill
ingsgate is no part of divinity, and pot-hous'
slang issues with evil grace from lips trained Z
pray for fallen men. Again we say Heaven de
liver us from political parsons"
Phe Independent is of the radical stamp
straightout, without a why or wherefore, ant
therefore it is remarkable, that it should hit its
politicai bretherin of the pulpit, such unmistsk
able raPs.

THE MIsTLEToE, though found occasionally 10
all parts OF England, is more rare in the north
ern and midland counties, than in the south
and west; and of the counties, its chief home is
in Herefordshire. 1t is well known that Of all
trees this dainty and captious parasite likes
best to grow upon the apple and in Hereford
shire it has an ample field for choice, taking
more kindly it is stated, to those trees whose
fruit is white-feshed than to those which bear
yellow feshed apples Curiously enough, TOO,
though found so constantly on arpls tfees, it
seldom if ever grows on the pear and never
spontaneously at least, upon the beech, the birch
the holly, the walnut, the elder, the sweet chest
Iut or laurel. Next to the apple tree il loves the
poplar, the lime, and the white thorn, and is oc-
casionally found on the maple, the willow, the
sycamore, and the acacia. There can be very
little doubt, that -iu by far the majority Of in
STANCES it Is chance-sown most probably its seeds
hate been dropped by birds, but that from some
other cause not as yet understood, the wood Of
all trees is not equally fitted to receive it and
support it. Where its seeds has once found q
congenial home within the bark of a tree, like 8
true parasite, it drives the fangs of its roots deep
into the wood; whence it draws its sap and
nourishment growing with its growth, and
Strengthening with its strength.-ORce Week.

How TO SLEEP WELL.-It is said that PERSONS
sleep better and sounder with their heads point,
ing to the north pole, than in any other position
The reason is given thus: The earth has mag
uetic current constantly playing around itt 'the
human body is also a magnet, and when the body
is placed in certain relations to the earth, these
Currents harmonize-when one position is TO be
maintained for some time, a position should be
chosen in which the currents of the earth and
body will not conflict. This position, is indica-
ted by theory and known by experiment, Is to
lie with the head with the north pole.

OSE or THE Recommendations Stokes
is a radical member of Congress of Tennessee ;
be also signed the call for the radical Southern
Convention to meet in Philadelphia. A consiss
tent radical he is, too. In 1861 Stokes enlisted
in Governor Harriss traitor army to resist what
be termed, in letter written by him, Lincoln s
usurpation," in calling out $4,000 men to put
down the Rebellion. At that time, like Greeley,
and host of other blatant radicals, Stokes was
opposed to the war for maintaining the Union,
aud took up arms against the Government. He
now very consistently acts with party which is
opposed to restoration of the Union. Of the
September Convsntion movement New York
paper says ~.r 80
This is no doubt started partially for the prr-
pose CT oGset:ing the Conservative Convention
in August, but mainly to lay the foundation for
a negro suffrage party. At this Convention the
Hamiltons, Bottses and Stokes of the South, the
Gerritt Smiths, Fred. Douglases, and Wendell
Philipses of the North, will no doubt all gather
and lay down the creed of the negro suffrage
marty, on the basis of lands and ballots for the
negro. Thus we shall have within the next two
months two parties organized to take the place
of the present organizations. The republican
party is in its death struggle and there is as great
commotion over its fnal burial aud. the birth of
a new party as there was in 1856 over the inaug-
uration of the republicans. This gathering in
Philadelphia in September is to perform the
midwife ceremonies of the party which is to take
| The PLACE Of the late republican organization,
and, as such is to enter the contest as the sole
opponent of the party iuaugurated by the Con-
| venton in the same city in August.
