CAIRO, June 2l.-The union between
the Democrats and Conservative Republi-
cans throughout the Thirteenth Congress
sional District of Illinois has already had
the effect of convincing the leaders of the
Radical party that the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress will receive not less than
three thousand majority. Mass conven-
tons have lately been held in the district,
addressed by Colonel John VI. CrebS, of
Carmi, and Hon. William J. Allen, Of
Cairo.
As an indication Of the change now 60
ing on, we refer to an election at MaSSac
county, Illinois, on the 18th instant. The
contest was special election to elect an
associate county judge to fill vacancy.
Both parties brought out their strongest
man, and fair and full political contest
was had. The Democratic candidate was
elected by one hundred and sixty-one ma
iority. Two years ago Massac gave the
Black Republican ticket a majority of six
hundred and seventy-fve. This is but a
sample of what is in store for the Radicals
Of Egypt. An effort is now made to in
duce General John 4. Logan to become
the Radical candidate for Congress, but
Logan is too well known, and Is himself
too familiar with the present feeling OF the
district, to undertake it.
Recent reports from different sections Of
the State lead Us to believe that the wheat
and corn crops will be much better than
expected one month ago. Correspondence

striven to advance the public interests, but

Mr.. Sherman regretted that Mr.. Brown
had made such a personal attack upon Mr..

have the public interest at heart, and to
be as DESTROYS as anybody of advancing

HousE.-The House passed bin for the

Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, from the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, reported the
Senate amendments to the Tax bill. The
House concurred in nearly all of them,
but disagreed to the Senate's amendment
of tax Of two instead of five cents per
pound on cotton. This, with other amend
ments, will be adjusted by committee OF
conference.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-SENATE.-Mr.
Wade, from the Committee on the District
of Columbia, reported bill to repeal an
act to retrocede the county of Alexandria
to the State of Virginia. The object of
the bill is to make Alexandria part Of
the District of Columbia.
The bill to aid in the construction of
telegraph lines, and to secure to the Co.
vernment the use of the same for postal
machinery, military, and other purposes,
was called up, and some discussion en-
sued. Mr.. Brown, in the course of some
remarks abiding to the recent report Of
the Postmaster General on the subject OF
telegraphing, said that in this report the
Postmaster General had shown himself
utterly incompetent for the position he
holds. His report was made up in great
part of communications from persons inte-
rested in the great monopoly that now
controls the telegraphing of this country.
He, the Postmaster General, had reflect
ed more discredit on himself in this con-
nection than had perhaps transpired with
regard to any other officer Of the Govern

getting him released on parole. Ex-Go-

President in regard to the matter. 1t IS
alleged by the counsel of Mr.: Davis that
his health is very poor, and that change
of air will be more beneficial than all the
medicines in ChriStendom. Mr.. Greeley
is very urgent in the matter, and has put
on record a strong letter to that end. The
President, however, has given no indica-
ton that he will interfere unless it is put
on the ground of Davis'S feeble condition.

CINCINNATI, June 25.-A dispatch TO the
Commercial, dated Brownsville, Texas, June
18th, says: ,,n
A train of two hundred and fifty wagons,
with valuable merchandise, was started by
General Mciia from Matamoras Tor Monte
rev. guarded by sixteen hundred Imperial
troons under General Olcyera. The train
was attacked on the 10th between Camarzo
and Muir by General Escobedo, at the head
oG four thousand Liberals. The Imperial
loss was five hundred killed and wounded,
eight hundred prisoners, forty five pieces
of artillery, and the entire train of wagons,
valued nj two millions of dollars. The
Liberal loss was slight. General Olcvera
was severely wounded-just escaping re-
capture. Cortinas is reported between
Matamoras and the stragglers of Olevera's
army, and will capture many prisoners.
These facts have been gathered from Gene
raj Escobedo's headquarters. One hundred
Imperial cavalry have arrived at Matamo-
ras, and corroboratc this statement.
NEW ORLEANS, June 24.-Brownsvillc
correspondence says that in the late attack
and capture near Matamoras the regimeHt
of Imperial lanccrs and one large Imperial
infantry regiment turned to the Liberal
side. The Austrian regiments lost all their
officers, and all their men but two killed.
The Contra guerilas lost one hundred, all
killed.
Bagdad was evacuated by the Imperial
troops which were sent to reinforce Mata-
moras, which was in danger of an attack
from General EScobedo.

Roberts wing of the Fenian Brotherhood
held an indignation meeting in New York
on Monday night. About five thousand
persons were present. Resolutions de-
nouncng the course ofthc Administration
in reference to the late Fenian raid on the
Canadian frontier were adopted. Colonel
Roberts delivered an address on the neu-
trality laws, and letter of apology was
read from Mr.. Horace Greeley. Many of the
true friends of Ireland refused to have
anything to do with the meeting, looking
upon it as part of the Radical politicians
to secure votes for the fall elections.

with the Senate at three cents per pound.
1t is stated on good authority that the
