Capture OF OriLabR and COrdOVR by the
Liberals-The French TO Leave Vera
Cruz Early Am March.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-The following is
an extract from a letter received to-day by the
way of New Orleans:--
VERA CRUZ, March 1.-General Bazaine ar
rived to-day in this city. The Liberals under
Salcedo Gomez and Rodriques have taken Ori-
zaba and Cordova. The lmperialists retreated
towards this city, but it is thought they will
all desert before they reach Vera Cruz, as they
are very much afraid of the yellow fever.
General Alatone is about Pueba. General
Benavedeo is three leagues from this city,
with large force He expects to occupy Vera
Cruz when abandoned by the French The
communication with the interior is entirely
cut off; we have no news west of Orizaba.
The French are between this city and Paso
del Macho: they all expect to leave early this
month. Their iron-clad fleet is still here.

Jesse D. Bright.

The following paragraph will show the
animus of the recent speech Of Jesse ID
Bright, delivered 10 kentucky. As but
one Democratic paper IN this State has
taken ISSUE with Mr.. Bright, aud as the
leaders of that party in Indiana are IN
sympathy with that gentlcman's political
principles, we quote:
"IIe denounced Mr.. Lincoln, Douglas
and Andy johnson in the most bitter
terms; said that the Democratic Senators
from the South did wrong IN yacatinp
their seats at the beginning of the war,
said Mr.. Lincoln had no power under the
Constitution to call out any troops; was
opposed to paying the public debit that
Kentucky ought not TO pay another dollar
until her Representatives were admitted
aud that il the South ever rcgained her
rights IL would be by the sword; and said
Iifthat was treason, the Government might
make the most Of il; was in favor Of re-
turning every slave to his original MASTER
was IN favor of law in Kentucky that
every one who lostanything in Kentucky
during the war, or by the war, should be
paid, and that tho General Government
should refund It to Kentucky"

Wells County pefaIcallon.

Fort Wayne letter to the Indianapo-
lis Journal has the following;
/ am able TO give you few particulars
in regard TO the Wells County Dedication.
The amount short Is about SS, 600 AS in
the Allen case, no one can give any ex-
PLANTATION as TO who gobbed the funds.
Tho treasurer, who is good naiured, easy
man, PROPOSED as much surprise as any
one, when on settlement day the funds
were not on hand TO make both ends meet.
An investigation was begun Mt once, but
the principal result thus far has been TO
demonstrate that the accounts arc loosely
kept aud also TO show that clork in the
office, receiving salary Of 500 per year,
had been able TO purchase property TO the
amount Of 81 500, besides living we'll all
the time. lie has played his game well,
aud covered up his tracks so they cannot
find any hold on him. But persons who
can see through ladder do not scruple
TO hint that he can tell all about IL il he
will. In justice to the treasurer il is on.
y fair to say that his property will cover
the deficit, but he will have very little left
The published statement made the amount
lacking only about $4,000, but | have
good reason to know that tho figures
have given are very nearly correct, aud il
may reach higher sum.
The trouble in all these cases seems to
be that under the control Of a clique. a
few men have kept the offices among them,
growing rich from the spells. With this
they have grown lazy aud too proud to
work, entrustinf their business to irrespon-
sib'e parties. When crash comes, the
blame can not Ne saddled anywhere, but il
should rest on the officers, who have paid
more attention TO fast horses and good
whisky than to their legitimate business
When the people elect good business men
to Office, instead of party hacks, we will
have no more scares about the loss of
public moneys Our system Of public
accounts seems to be much moro CON-
pIetc than is necessary A law simplify.
ing and consolidating the number Of ac-
counts now kept would save much trouble
aud expense.
