We have had Il long and interesting conver-
sation with gentleman who is recently come
from Mexico. He passed from the city to the
Rio Grande by way of Monterey, and thence
through Texas TO New Orleans. He says that
Juarez is a shrewd half breed, disliked by his
own people, and representing no popular
party or principle that the bOna fie inhabi-
tants desire the success of the Government OF
Maximilian as the safest and surest that
there is no disposition TO throw off the lmpe-
rial yoke, and that outbreak means plllage,
and not patriotism. The acts of ragamuihns
about Brownsville and Bagdad are purely pre-
datory. Crawford is not even 4 respectable
robber. His troops are about as many and as
contemplate as those of Falstaif Our
informant states that throughout Texas the
promise of the future is cheering. The peo-

commented upon by Il foreign periodical. We
do not remember ever TO have seen an attempt
TO prove that the old hero did not commit 4
blunder. And yet no proposition, we think,
is more susceptible of perfect demonstration.
Here is General TAYLoR's own language:
"We are al peace with all the world, and
hope TO maintain our amicable relations with
the rest OF mankind
This is merely apparently a bull. The two
phrases, "all the world - and the crest of
mankind are synonymous and interchange
able No one will contend that he might not
with propriety have said "We are 1T peace
with the rest Of mankind" or I've are at
peace with all the world" And the same
idea would have been expressed by either
phrase. This proves the two TO be Identical
in meaning, and If so, they may be substi-
tuted the one for the other. Let us see how
the sentence would then read:
1--WE are at peace with the rest OF mankind,
and hope to maintain our amicable relations
with all the world
AS good English rs anybody can write.
Again the conjunction "and'' certainly
does not affect the correctness of the language: :
for in parSing the sentence, the word we y is
supposed TO be between "and" and hope"
as the nominative case TO the latter. Leave
out the land" and the dullest reader will
perceive that there is nothing wrong-thus:
1--WE are al peace with all the world. We
hope TO uuiHtuip our amicable relations with
the rest Of mankind" (or " all the worldly
Is that right? Unquesuonably. And we
think no one will contend that the insertion of
"and" could convert these two sentences into
one containing a bull. 1t is undeniablc, then,
that General TAYLOR was right. The resem-
blance TO a bull is owing entirely to that i'm
perfection of the language itself-if imperiec.

MAYORS CoURT.-The following cases were
disposed of before Mayor Saunders yesterday :
Frank Lawson and Charles Bell atlas Tim
berlalIe, two little boys of about ten years each,
charged with stealing pair OF shoes from the
store of Samuel Bnsweng, were discharged in
the absence of evidence.
Patrick Connel, an old and dilapidated indi-
vidual was charged with stealing lot Of lead
from Garret +. Watson. The evidence went
TO show that the lead was traced to the house
OF the accused after il was missing. The
accused stated i'll a very straightforward
manner that the lead had been left with him
in bag, by Il negro, who asked him to take
care of it, He took the bag, not thinking there
was anything wrong about it not knowing, in
fact, what was in it. He was sent on for
further trial.
- Sedgwck was charged with playing a
game called seven-up. His case was continued
until Monday.
The gambling house cases were postponed
until Monday in consequence of the absence
of Marmaduke Johnson.
