TIE TEST OATH.-The "silyer lining of the dark clouds which obscure our political sky appears. The 'iron-clad test oath has been decided by the Su- prcme Court to be unconstitutional. This test oath is foreign to the whole genius of Republican institutions. In war it may have been deemed neces- sary. But in peace, Republican insti- tutiOns cannot exist with it. Radical ism rests upon this basis. If the courts thus undermine them. their sway will be but brief.-[ Commercial and Argus.

Our Mexican News.

We publish to-day very full details of affairs n Mexico. The particulars of the battle of Matamoras are given as seen by correspondents in the camps ofboth beligerents. But since writing that account we have conversed with well informed gentleman from the Rio Grande, who says that during the fight whenever Candles would capture an Fscobedo soldier. he would make him about face" and he would fight as hard against his late companions as before he fought for them.
 On the other hand, when Escobedo got hold of Candles man he would Iurn him round. and to work at fight ing they would go. The men seemed to have no idea but that they were to fight. no matter on what side. VI hen Candles and Escobedo met, they quar- relcd like two old fish women, but were at last reconciled, and so firm friends did they become that, not con- tent with shaking hands, they embraced each other, after the fashion of two re- cOnciled lovers. Ii must have been supremely entertaining to see these great booted soldiers, fresh from the battlefield, hugging and slobbering over each other like love-sick sWains after a quarrel. Gen. Sedgwick only sent one hundred men into the city, and all these were withdrawn at halfpast eight on Saturday morning.
