In notice of the suit about Christ Church
property, in this place, the Washington
Chronicle says that ''in the year 1862 Christ
Church, 90 Warrington street, in A!cxan,
dria, was closed by the military authorities 10
consequence Of the reasonable character Of the
Sermons preached by its pastor, Rev. j. Dana,
and the evident disloyalty of the congregation. "
Rev. Mr. Dana had left here some time before
the war. Rev Mr. Walker was the rector
when the wor commenced, and never preach
ed political sermon Or nything like one. We
have always heard it stated that, for a coosid-
cradle time after the war, the affairs Of the
Church were under the charge Of vestry appoint
ed by the military governor, then here.

FROM MEXICO.
Progress of the National Cause

New YORK, September l2.-The Her
aids Monterey (Mexico) correspondence
dated August %, says Gen. Sheridan, on
his recent visit to the Rio Grande, has
strongly advised Cortinas to submit TO
the authority of Caravajal, as any dis
turbance between them would do great
injury to the Mexican republican cause.
Confidence was greatly restored by Sher-
idan's visit among the merchants and
commercial men tx Matamoros on the
border, and goods were being sent again
into the interior.
Caravajal, Guersa, and the other officers
concerned in receiving the surrender of
Mejia, have been summoned before
council by Jurez who is dissatisfied with
the terms granted the Imperialists
Macmillan had received more money
from France, and it was thought the
murder of a number of foreign residents
in Sonora will be made the pretext for
retaining the French troops after the
day named for their withdrawal
The French reign in Monterey was a
reign of terror to the Mexicans. Fines
were exacted without receipts being
given. Citizens were insulted, impris-
oned, and shot for words uttered in
casual conversation with their friends,
and property confscated. Gen. OUR
raga, who commanded the imperial
troops in the city, has offered his SER
vices 10 the Liberals, but they have not
yet been accepted. The bearer of his
communication was imprisoned, and
will probably be shot.
The French were to evacuate San Luis
Potosi on the Sth of September.

Who A. J. Hamilton, ofTexas, is.

Every one knows that "pier up of
blasphemous adjectives," Parson Brown
low, but the other shining light of the
bogus loyal Southerners, A. j. Hamilton,
is not so well known. We give a mem
orable act of his public career, for the
especial benefit of his present party
friends:
At meeting of the citizens of Travis
county, assembled on the 10th of June,
in the city of Austin, to express their APP
probation of the late spirited conduct of
Hon. Preston S. Brooks, of South Caro-
lima, the Hon. A. j. Hamilton was called
to the chair, and A. L. Lott appointed
Secretary
On motion of VIM. Byrd, the following
preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted, viz: M
WHEREAS, We have learned with sim
cere pleasure of the prompt and merited
castigation inflicted by the Hsn Preston
s. Brooks of South Carolina, upon the
person of Senator Sumner; therefore,
Resolred, That the Hon. Preston S
Brooks is entitled to the earnest thanks
of the whole South for the energy and
hearty will with which he struck down
her Infamous enemy, on the spot where
the honorable ruiiian poured forth for
four consecutive hours unmerited abuse
of her institutions and favorite sons.
Resolred. That in the testimony of
our appreciation of the patriotic con-
duct of Colonel Brooks, we will present
to him cane made of the toughest wood
which grows on the soil of Texas, and
which, therefore, with manifest pro-
priety, should be applied with the full
force of stout Southern arm upon the
backs of our hypocritical and slanderous
enemies.
ReSolred, That committee of ten be
appointed by the Chair to carry out the
object of the preceding resolutions
Resolred, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Austin city
papers.
A. J. HAMILTON, Chairman.
A. j. LOTT, Secretary.

time, drop in on the conferences aud
offer such suggestions as he should deem
fit; rather as a moderate or common
friend than as a party to the discussion.
A suggestion of names being invited,
proposed Gov. Andrew, of Massachu-
etts; Gerritt Smith, of New York and
Judge r. p. Spaulding, of Ohio, as three
who seemed to me fair representatives
ofthe anti-slavery sentiment ofthe North,
while neither was especially obnoxious
to nor disposed to deal harshly with the
South. / added that hoped they would
be met by men like Gen. Robert E. Lee,
Alexander III. Stephens, ETC., who would
be recognized and needed by the South
as men in whose hands her honor and
true interests would be safe but l added
that | had no special desire that these
or any particular men should be selected,
wishing only that those chosen from
either section should be such as to COM
mand their peoples confidence and sup
port. pledged myself to support, to
the extent Of my power, any adjustment
that should thus be matured and agreed
upon.
"Some two months later, after the
meeting of Congress, and when the POI
litical sky had become darker, | went to
Washington on the assurance of a mu-
tual friend that the President desired to
see me. At an interview promptly ac-
corded, urged the President TO invite
the Committee on Reconstruction to
come TO the White House and discuss
with them from evening to evening, as
friends with friends, all the phases of
the grave problem Of reconstruction,
with fixed resolve to find basis OF
agreement if possible | urged such
considerations as occurred TO me in favor
of the feasibility of such an agreement,
If it were earnestly sought, as l felt sure
il would be, on the side of Congress. The
vast patronage in the Presidents hands
and the reluctance of the majority of
Congress to see their friends, supporters
and nominees expelled by wholesale
from office and their places supplied by
bitter adversaries, the natural anxiety OF
every party in power to maintain cordial
relations with the head of the govern
ment chosen by its votes-these, and a
thousand kindred considerations, rem
dered morally certain ain agreement be-
tween Congress and the President, with
out a sacrifice of principle on either
hand, if the latter should sincerely seek
it | speak only of what 1 said and pro-
posed, because | have not permission,
and no right to speak further. That my |
suggestions were not followed, nor any |
thing akin to them, the public sadly |
knows; and the conclusions to which | |
have been most reluctantly forced, is |
that the President did not want harmo-
nv with Congress-that he had already |
made up his mind TO break with the
party which had elected him, and seek
further lease of power through the favor
and support of its implacable enemies.

Drunken Gov. 0glesby Catches Tartar.
A Plymouth Qndiana) correspondent
relates the following incident that &C.
Cured during speech of Gov, Oglesby
in that town:
The Governor was abusing the Presi-
dent for enforcing the neutrality laws
during the recent Fenian raid upon Can
ada, and having exhausted his yocabu-
larry of epithets in expressing his virtu-
GUS indignation at. the wrongs Irishmen
had suffered from the traitor Andrew
johnson, paused moment for breath I;
when an lrishman in the crowd asked
him why Congress did not repeal the
neutrality laws during that raid, instead
of spending their time passing bills for
the negro over the Presidents veto.
A clap of thunder in cloudless sky
could not have produced a greater sen
sation. Amid profound silence for mo-
ment, the ncnplussed Governor and his
Irish questioner looked at each other
1t was becoming painfully evident to the
Radicals that the Irishman had him.
You are a traitor !" shouted the
Governor, no longer able to control him
self
You are liar y cody answered the
Irishman.
"You were sent here by the copper
heads to create row p exclaimed the
Governor
That's another lie u replied the
Irishmen.
Il can whip you | can mash your old
head any day !" shouted the enraged
Governor
Amid the confusion which followed
the Irishman further replies could not
be heard. Order was soon restored,
and no further interruptions occurred
