Adviees from FL Paso, Mexico, have been
received The Republican Government was
still located at FL Paso. Juarez had learned
that the French would soon leave Chihuahua
in the hands of the Mexican garrison, when
the Republicans will have no trouble in re-
capturing the city. Advices have also been re-
ceived from Sonora, stating that Pesquira had
resumed military operations. HIS force has
been = =a9gmented by large force Of American
Republicans. General Carono, with eighteen
hundred men, had won a victory over the I'm
perRlists at Santa Cruz. General Morales
was collecting large Republican force for
immediate operations. The Liberals complain
that officers of the United States are under
strict orders TO show courtesy to Maximillian's
officers, even permitting them to send maraud-
ing parties across the border TO intercept and
rob neutral travellers. The Mexican Republican
Gereral ALVAREZ, under date of Provedencia-
February %, writes that affairs at Acapulco
are unchanged. The vaders are continually
harassed, and pretty well worn cut. General
DiU has rnaugurateda n successful campaign in
the State of Oalaca. Colonel Fegerro, after de-
feadng the lmperialists at Tehuantepec, moved
Cruz have resumed active operations in that
quarter.

tached company of the nj. V. NJ. Columbian
Guards to the hall. An immense crowd accom-
panied them. General Robert Cowdin pre-
sided at the meeting which was addressed by
President Roberts, General Sweeney, and the
Fenian Senator Morrison, of Kansas. The
speeches were animated. and the brotherhood
were called to rise IN their might and, with
General Sweeny, strike Canada. At the close
of the meeting. upwards of ten thousand dol
lars in cash contributions were collected.

DIABoLIcAL ATTEMPT.-A horrible attempt
by three negroes 10 rob and murder Mrs.
Matthew OiBrien and her son, Edwin, was
made on Saturday evening between and
O'Clock. While on her way home, and about
four miles from this city, Mrs. O'Brien and
her son, Edwin, were stopped by three negro
men, dressed in citizens clothes. One Of the
negroes inquired the way TO Washington city.
Being the Little River turnpike, Mrs.
OBJ. politely and kindly informed him OF
the best and nearest direction. As the car
riage moved on again, two of the negroes
cried out Z" Halt" One of them then came from
the left of the carriage 10 the right and pre-
senting his pistol at the head OF Edwin,
without warning, fired, the ball taking severe
and terrible effect in the right side Of his neck.
Edwin fell al once backward into the car
riaee, with the blood gushing in streams from
his mouth from the wound. The negroes then
proceeded to rob the person Of Edwin Of his
purse, and rined the car riage of its contents OF
goods, &c, threatening all the time 20 kill Mrs.
O'Brien if she made the slightest alarm or re-
sistance. Fortunately for Mrs. O'B-, at this
juncture, the negroes saw in the distance fve
or six men approaching, and becoming fright
ened. made hastily of with their booty, and no
clue has since been obtained OF their whsrea-
bouts. Dr. J. B. johnson was called TO exam
inc the case, and found that the ball had pene-
trated the right side OF the neck of young Mr..
OBJ, passing inwards and upwards, cutting
the wind pipe in its passage, and emerging be-
ne ath the edge OF the left Jaw, infiicting a Sc
were and dangerous wound, leaving the patient
in an exceedingly critical condition.-Alezan.

How They are Treated,

Almost daily reports come from the South,
of Rebel Grand Juries finding indictments
against Union officers, citizens of the South,
who, during the rebellion, seized and used,
in the name of the Government, the prop
erty of armed traitors. President johnson
does not offer to interfere to put stop to
these prosecutions; but in every instance
where attempts have been made to punish
traitors in the South, and where military
authority is yet in force, Presidential par
don was ready to shield the guilty rebel
The 'boysin blue will make note of these
facts, and promptly rebuke the authors of
such wrongs at the ballot-box on Tuesday
next, October 9th.

Rebel Outrage in Kentucky.

On Tuesday night, September Goth. a
large force of rebels, numbering about 200,
,bapted cannon near Warsaw, Kentucky,
and as the U. S. Mail steamer, General Bu-
Ill. came down the river, ordered the Cap
TIN To land or they would sink the boat.
The object of this outrage was the forcible
seizure Of Dr. G. W. Ferris, the Mail Agent,
who had been a Provost Marshall at War
ssv, during the war. His offense was, that
during his administration rebel soldier had
been hung at that place by order of General
Burbndge, and another was shot while at
tempting to escape from squad of Union
soldiers. The boat was landed-Dr. Ferris
seized b. the rebel ruffians and taken ashore,
and it is feared has been murdered by them.
Are such men fit to be admitted to seats in
Congress, and help make our laws? Let
the loyal men of Pennsylvania answer this
question at the polls on next Tuesday.

deor Southern brethren howls every Copper

teens with the charge that all acts of the
last Congress were Illegal, that slavery is
illegally abolished, that the debt xeineurred

because the'traitors are not represented in
Congress all its proceedings are void. Now,
while the demagogues are thus bowling to
regain back the Union as it was Union

We never hear them ask for our murdered
Union men. We never hear Copperhead
declare that he would like to see the wild

bands who fell fighting the battles of the
Government, nor that the orphans should
have their fathers that were murdered by
traitors. 1t is only the Union as it was, that
