U. s. GANDER-OR GRANT.-
By all odds the greatest humbug
thrown to the surface of the seeth-
ing cauldron of civil war--the dir
tiest and most worthless bitof the
scum and forth whirling and ed
dying above the bubblings and
agitated mass, in our opinion, was
Gen. U. S. Grant. From the vul-
gar herd he was by sheer good
luck and the force of circumstan-
ces suddenly elevated to aposition
the foremost and most prominent
in the eyes of the American people
"a mere nobody, AN Incorporate
vagabond, unknown, almost, ex-
cept for his drunken vices I'M his
immediate neighborhood, Fortune
selected him as the object Of her
especial favor, and lavished upon
him, forhis brainless incompetency
and mule-headed stupidity, = the
highest honors within her gift.
His military career was, q series
of wholesale murders human
life was of no more, consequence,
in his estimation, than the dirt
ground beneath hiso boot heels
doggedly and without skill or
plan he strove to crush his eneniy
by superior numbers and weight
of guns-an ignorant administra-
ton threw no obstacle i'm his
way, supplied him without stint
with men and material, and the
WORKOUT and exhausted support
ers of the Confederaey, afterga
brave and heroic struggle suecum-
bed, not from Grants strategy but
from utter weakness and the fail
ure of resources. "a IA
] The American mob which had
witnessed the failure of SO many
leaders-which had seen with dis
may Mcdowell, McC Clellan, Burn
side, Hooker, Pope, bafaed and
beaten-astounded and delighted
with the unlocked for success of
Grant, overwhelmed him with
praises, heaped upon the most Law
ish and fulsome panegyrics, and
in their insanity, proclaimed him
the greatest of living menl The
drunken sot of Galena was hailed
as the greatest warrior of modern
times-the insignsficant and no.

( pared with the great captains of
the old and new world! 1t was O

THE CAPTURE OF PUEBLA CONFIRM
ED.
Vera Cruz Demanded.

HAVANA, April 25.-Letters from Vera
Cruz to the 18th inst confirm the capture
of Puebla by the Liberals. Some lao Off.
GERS, who had strengthened themselves in
the Defenses of Gaudaloupe and Loreto were
allowed to capitulate at discretion, and their
lives were spared to them.
Immediately on the capture Of Puebla,
DIaz sent three Thousand men and battery
to attack Vera Cruz On the 18th inst. a
messenger was sent by the Liberals to de.
demand the surrender of Vera Cruz. He
returned to the Liberal camp on the 18th
inst, and on that day the Imperial chiefs
in that city had a council of war, and nc
doubt is entertained but that they would
agree to capitulate.
The expected arrival of the New Mexican
man-of-war from Tampico, and battery
under General Alatofre, sent by Diaz, it is
expected, will induce Gen. Landero, the I'm
perial commander at Vera Cruz, to surrender
Internationally, so as to avoid bloodshed.
Maximilian is reported to have escaped
from Queretaro in disguise, to the city o.
Mexico. But this report is not credited
The Imperialists had made another sortit
from Queretaro, and were defeated.

The Indians.

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-The Democrats
special correspondent with General Han
cocks Indian expedition gives an account of
q council held at Fort Larned on the 18th
instant, between General Hancock and fif-
teen Cheyenne chiefs.
The council amounted to nothing only a
part of the chiefs of the tribe was in attend
ance, and those present gave but an equivo-
cal reply to Gen. Hancock's speech to them.
The next day General Hancock moved to-
ward the Cheyenne camps, and when about
half way was met BY over three hundred
chiefs and warriors, who professed peace
but that night the whole tribe abandoned
village, leaving their wigwams, but taking
everything of value. General Clusters com.
mand was sent in pursuit, but had not re.
turned when the letter closed.
The indications point to confederation
between the Cheyennes and the Sioux fol
evil purposes.
General Hancock intended 70 burn the
Cheyennes' village on the l4th.

The Coal TRADE The Pottsville
Miners Journal of last Saturday, says The
quantity sent by Railroad this week is CO.
175 IL tons; by Canal, $3.50 10; for the
week S7,095 Oh against ia, ,859 tons for the
corresponding week last year.
The trade continues dull. At many OF
the collisries the men are standing out for
higher wages. The truth is that wages for
laboren particslsrly are too low at the col
lsries, and they can scarcely live at present
prices Of provisions, but 1t is we'll known
that the price of coal has fallen more than
any other commodity in the market, and
even at present wages the operators can
scarcely save themselves from less,
We have just learned that the colieries are
nearly all standing idle at Locust Gap and
in the Shanokln region In consequence oi
turrouts. We have not learned whether
the collieries In the Iehigh region are in
operation yet or not. Several were 20 start
this week. From present appearances the
supply of coal from this region this yeai
viii not be increased, but may be consider,
ably diminished, unless better demand
springs up than at present Man. OF th,
collieries we're robbed" last year and scarce
ly any preparations made for working tbi,
year, which will also tend to diminish tn,
quantity.

NEW ORLEANS, April 19.--Advices from
Matamoras, lth inst, Say that the Liberals
captured Puebla, and that Maximilian is
offering to surrender, but his overtures are
rejected. The Liberals refuse to grant the
terms demanded by Macmillan.
THE LIBERAL vIcToRY-ArTEMPTED REvo.
LuTIoN-DARTwIs TAKEN AND ORDERED
TO BE SHOT. -
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-The reported
egress Of Maximiian's forces from Aueretero
without q battle, and the rumors that the
Liberal forces were in part defeated, and
were suffering from lack of supplies, are
all directly contradicted. The report of q
revolution, headed by Herrera, in San Luis
Potosi, is also denied. Letters from Presi-
dent Juarez, received to-day, make no men,
ton of disturbances having taken place OF
being anticipated.
Consul Godfrey has received letter from
General Corona in reference to the opera
tions at Queretaro, dated March l6, which
states that the Liberals made u reconnois-
sance in force, bringing on an engagement
which lasted eight hours, resulting in the
Imperialists being driven from some of theil
positions. The Liberal forces number &c..
900, and the Imperialsts 10000
Placedo Vega was at Mazatlan four days
in disguise engaged in conspiring with his
political friends, being impressed with the
belief that his party in Sinaloa would pro
claim him governor. The arms taken from
here by Vega have been hidden in the noun
tains, except a small portion given up tt
Gen. Parras.
Letters from Lower California give an &C
count of an attempted revolution. On tn,
1st of April, CASTOR Dartwis landed ut l.,
! Paz from Mazatlan, and proclaimed tina
Navarette, a revolutionary exile, woulc
reach the former place by the next steame
with two hundred men, and reinstate him
self as Governor of the Territory. On th
route from San Antonio by surprise, ant
made prisoners of the officials.
From San Antonio he went to La Paz at
tackled the house of the governor, and foun'
himself surrounded by soldiers. Dartwis
small band fled, were pursued and overta
ken, and Dartwis was ordered to he shot o.
the 9th of April. According to the fact
stated, this petty revolution contemplate
a scheme of plunder, and in the event q
success would have made the America
residents suffer among the rest. His design
were not countenanced by the Juarez &c
vernment, and the story of the coming c
Navarette was without foundation.

THE WAR FURRY IN El..
ROPE.

II seems to be somewhat difficult to un-
derstand the precise status of the Lux
embourg question. We have accounts
stating distinctly that the treaty for the
transfer of the Ducby from Holland to France
has actually taken place, subject however
to two conditions, LIST that it shall be ap-
proved by the people of Luxembourg; ed
that it shall meet the consent of Prussia. II
such lie the case France can have no cause
of war in the event of the two remaining
ratifying parties, or either of them, refusing
to do 80. On the other hand we have an
official assurance from the Hague that the
sale has not been effectual and will not be
without the consent of the great powers,
and especially the consent of Prussia. In
this state of the case it is absurd for France
to get angry and make preparations for war,
DC. But we refer moro in detail to the
question as it would appear to stand.
A Berlin telegram of the 4th of April
says: Intelligence received here from the
Hague announces that the Dutch Govern.
ment has officially informed the Prussian
Cabinet that the sale of Luxembourg has
not yet been effected, and will not be carried
out without the consent of Prussia"
The London Times says it is disgrace TO
French statesmen that the Luxembourg
scheme should ever have been entertained.
France will show her Difference for European
opinion by abandoning this i'll ll.omcned ne.
gotiation, which would not only unite all
Germany against her, but break of the ir.
innate friendship which prevails between
her and other European Powers.
A Paris telegram of the 9th April says
"The French Government has still under
consideration the question of the cesson OF
Luxembourg to France. 1t considers thai
the engagements entered into by the King
of Holland are too binding for him to with,
draw without the consent of France"
Lord Stanley, in giving some explanation
IN the House Of Commons, said "that the
consent of the King of Holland was from
the first made conditional upon that of The
people Of Luxembourg and also upon thu
consent of Prussia What the feeling O
the people of Luxembourg might be, h,
would not undertake to say, but he strongl,
doubted whether the consent of Prussi,
would be given, and if these conditions wer
not fulfilled, tho transaction would fall I,
the ground. He had returned reply Il
