adverse to Juarez were organizing forces in the
mountains. The Indians were making bold in
cuIsions into the white settlements near Yu-
catan.
The passengers and crew of the lost steamer
Ciudad Condal had all arrived safely at Vera
Cruz. There were about one hundred souls on
board at the time OF the disaster, and not one of
them lost.
Juarez issued grand and eloquent address
on the 18th OF July, saying the good sons of
Mexico had fought alone, without the assist
ance OF any one from abroad, and had pre-.
served the liberty of the country without COM
promising its independence and the integrity of
the country.
The press favored a general amnesty. The
country will be divided into six military DIS
tIicts with General Escobedo and others com.
manding. Lasado's forces refuse to recognize
Juarez. A prestdnlo Of one million eight hun
dred thousand dollars has been levied on the
State of Jalisco. Castillo and Aguierro have
been sentenced to be shot. Marquee and Quiroga
were discovered, but cut through the guards,
and escaped,

The Brownsville Rdnchero furnishes us the

From oueretaro to San Luis Potosi-Received
at 10 A. NJ, July 18.-On the 8th instant Vidaurri
was apnrehended at No. san Camilo street,
City of Mexico. He was Immediately put in the
chapel, and at 4'30 p. NJ. he was shot TO death
by musketry. EsCoBEDo.
The following more specific description of the
execution Is taken from the Globe, OF tine latter
city, OF July 9th:-At 6 o'clock this morning
Santiago Yi0aurr1 was found in the house where
he was hid, No. San Camilo street. He pre-
terred, as other high officials of the Empire, to
hide himself from the authorities and let pass
the occasion which was offered, upon the occu.

to profit by those terms and means compatible
with the acts OF justice. At headquarters we
are informed, there was found against him. by
existing laws, one impeachment which could not
be passed over without the painful neces-
sity of making a severe example, in conse-
quence OF which the old Governor of Nuevo
Leon and Coahuilaiwill be shot this evening.
The desire, notwithstanding, not to see again
another painful example, the same has
already gwen place to this incident, inspired
General D1az, as we have been told, to concede
a new term to those military and civil officers
who sustained the usurpation, and are still
hidden, III which to deliver themselves up. As
a consequence the Quartermaster-General pub
lished an srder which is hereto appended.
1t appears that after Don Santiago VIdaurri
was discovered, he manifested intentions of re-
ssting the police. His Identification was imme-
diately established and when the criminal was
apprehended he confessed his completely in the
Vaccinations against our independence, as also
his character of President OF the so-Called Coun-
Gil OF Ministers. We don't know hoW to shed
tears ike CrOCOQlleS; out whist we OeplOIe the
melancholy drama that has been consummated,
probably before these lines see the light, it
could not have been averted unless by overstep-
ping the law, and the most grave considerations
of public welfare.
ARMY OF OPERATIONS, QUARTERMAsTER's De-
PARTMENF.-The Commander-inChieto orders me
to make known to whom it may concern that,
not wishing to be Obliged to commit acts of
severity such rs practised with Don Santiago
Vidaurri, has ordered to be conceded that the
individuals spoken OF in the decree of June Il
may have further time in which to present
themselves, new term of twenty-six hours will
be granted in which to surrender themselves as
prisoners, the time TO expire on the 9th at

Mexico, July 8, 1867.
To the foregoing notice we will add the follow
ing details:-
To Republican General, one of those whom
VidauIr requested to have called before he
was executed, we are indebted for the following
items:--
Vidaurri IN a note requested General Dlaz to
come and see HIM in his prison, but General
Diaz did not accede to his request. Vidaurri
also requested postponement OF his execution
until President Juarez should arrive, but Gene
raj az, looking at the law OF the 2lst OF June,
was sorry he could not grant the petition. He
manifested desire to see his son, and when
tits was denied him he burst into flood of
tears. He said he was prisoner in the house
where he was hidden, and was satisfied that
he had been denounced, and had been
endeavoripg to bore hole through the
could have made his escape through the paths
of San Camilo. Vdaurri requested tha OF the
FIVE ounces in his purse, two should be given
to'the priest to pray for his and his Wife's souls,
and three ounces be given his son to pay his
burial expenses to whom he requested his body
to be given. At o'clock in the evening he left
tue deputation, and thence he was escorted in
coach by q squadron of cavalry, under command
of General Carvajal, until reaching the little
| square OF San Domingo, where he was shot.
The body was taken to the Municipal Hospital.
THE TRAITOR LOPEZ.
Colonel Miguel Lopez, the traitor, after sell
| ing Maximihan and his Generals, went to
Puebla to visit his wife. His reception was
| decidedly cold. His wife advanced to meet
him, leading hls little son by the hand, and ad-
| dressed him hus:-"Sir, here is your son we
cannot cut him in two. Take him. You are q
| base coward and traitor. You have betrayed
| your country and your beuetactor. From this
hour we are strangers for shall this day retire
| to my family. Coz
The execution of General Castillo and other
| Imperial officers, among them Colonel Almanac
Buyes Binto, and Moret, at QueretarO, on the
| 9th, is confirmed. They we're pat through a
| mock trial. "Bood is thicker than water"
Throughout the whole of Mexico the feeling
| is apparently unanimous for JuaTez for the next
| President On the other hand, Juarez is con-
| tlpually assuring the people that he will never
| aaaip be a candidate. The truth amounts to
| tbis:-Juarez has led the people into all kinds
| of excesses for which they are trembling at the
frown of the world, and now the people are
| determined that the man who has led them into
| trouble shall lead them TO the bitter end.
Juarez has or will glut his thirst tor blood before
| another election, and because there Is trOuOle
ahead he says he can't lead any longer.
| Canales and Gomez are causing great trouble
in the southern portion OF the State; though
| they are doing no more on small scale than
