Of which they bayc been 50 long contending
formed that coal can be shipped to Alexandria

or calm, one never listens in vain for the
prompt presentation of his tinkling notes.
He keeps his little promise, year by year,

Certain information has leaked out here
which, if true, gives a new and startling
explanation of the sudden and widespread
movement to avenge the death OF Maxi
milan. A statement was made to-day by
person who has been initiated into the
inner circle of the present so.called hill
clustering enterprise, that the real object
OF this organization is to inaugurate anoth-
er attempt to gain the independence of the
Southern States. 1t is said that the enroll
ing of volunteers, which for time was
spontaneous movement in different parts
of the country, with the real intention of
going into Mexico and joining with some
one of the factions opposed TO the Juarez
Government, partly to avenge the death
OF Macmillan and partly to advance their
own Individual interests, is now rapidly
assuming the form of well-regulated or
ganization, under the management of cum
ming politicians and experienced soldiers.
Men are to be initiated and enrolled, sub
iect to the arbitrary direction of military
discipline, and are to preserve strict secre-
sy with regard to the movements of theor-
ganization, as well as to those who are
members of it. Arms, ammunition and
other supplies are to be accumulated at
designated points, and everything is to be
In readiness to take advantage of the OPP
perfume moment. OF the time when opera
tions are to be commenced there is nothing
definite decided upon. Two particular CON
tingencies have been mentioned, either of
which arising would be taken as a fitting
opportunity to strike the first blow. One
is the impeachment of the President and
his resistance to removal from office. In
snch contingency the leaders of the Max
imilian Avengers will, it is said, concen-
trate their forces, which, it is expected, will
in few months number hundred thou
sand, and bring them to the support of the
Presidential party. The other event which
it is thought would afford a convenient
tering force, and thus precipitate war
between the United States and that coun-
try, in which case the organization of
Avengers will at once take sides with
the Mexican Government against the Unit
ed States. It is also stated that the organ
ization is receiving accessions in the late
insurrectionary States with astonishing ra-
pidity, principally from those men who
| fought in the late rebellion, and are dis
| franchised therefore.
Much of the above details is given by
the informant as the assertions of men
prominent in the movement, but the state
ment that the objects of the organization
are inimical to the Government, and con-
template it's final destruction, rests upon a
more substantial foundation than mere ru-
NOR. l do not undertake, however, to
vouch for the absolute reliability of these
developments, but deem it proper to give
them to the public, considering the impor
lance of the.subject- Washington Despatch
