Interesting from Mexico.

NEW ORLEANT, June 29.-An Austrian
steam sloop-ofwar arrived at South West Pass
this morning, and landed Geographic dispatches
for the Austrian government Her national
ensign was draped in deep mourning; this, and
the reticence of her officers is regarded as sig
nlhcant. They, however, report that the City
OF Mexico was captured by the Liberals on the
Goth inst. The particulars had not reached
Vera Cruz up to the time of sailing.
The Mexican schooner Atlas also arrived at
the mouth of the Mississippi this morning
having on board twenty-four exiled Imperialist
Mexicans, who had been peremptorily banished.
Among them were several military officers.
They report that Santa Anna was transferred to
the American steamer Virginia, at Vera Cruz,
and conveyed to Sisal. On arriving, a Mexican
gunboat demanded the person Of Santa Anna,
which was refused, when the Mexicans threat
ened to fire upon the Virginia. The captain
told them they could take him by force, as he
was not armed. He then spread the American
ensign on the gangway. The Mexicans trod on
the flag, seized Santa Anna, and thurst him into
their boat, took him to Campeachy and con-
fined him as prisoner Of war. At Campeachy
bands of Liberals are shooting, hanging and ex-
pelllng Imperial sympathiZers.

SALE OF a
VALUABLE MERCHANT MILL AND

VALUABLE MERCHANT MILL AND

In obedience to decree of the Circuit Court of
Augusta county, rendered the 18th day of
June, 1867, in the case of Nuckolps vs DR.. Talia-
ferro Reynolds administrator and heirs, the I'M
dersigned, who have been appointed Commits
sioners to make sale of the real estate of which
T. Rennods died seized, will offer for sale on the
prem es, on the
18th of JatLy neat at IL O'Clock,
THE LARGE MERCHANT MILL,
and about Fifty Acres of Land adjacent thereto
known as '"Trnity Point which belonged to the
late Dr. T. Rennolds.
This property is situate on Middle River, in
Augusta county, about seven or eight miles West
of Staunton. The Mill is large and commodious
with two pairs of burrs, and one set of choppers
The dam is permanent one, built in the best
manner, of very large stone. The water power
located in fine Wheat and Corn region, and is
in good condition.
There is comfortable Miller's House on the
premises, and all necessary -out-buildings. The
land is strong limestone, and quite productive.
This property is very desirable, and, with good
management would yield large per cent. on it's
cost. The grinding of the abundant growing
crops of Wheat and Corn of the Immediate neigh

profit to the purchaser.

Costs of sale and suit in hand, and the residue in
three equal annual payments, with interest from

with the assent of the heirs, to modify the terms

Macmillan.

The New York Times thus vigorously repro
bates the killing of Macmillan by the semi
barbarous ''greasers,' of whom he aspired to
be Emperor:
''His death will convince more than half the
world, before incredulous, that he was right
1t is hard to believe that men capable of such
a crime are capable of self. government, or fit
to be intrusted with authority. They are in
sensible alike to every sentiment of honor and
to every dictate of prudence The brutal in
stinct-the thirst for blood-is uppermost in
their natures. The hour of victory is with them
not the hour for generous sentiments, but for
revenge, for cruelty, for insolent defiance of all
magnanimous policy and Of the public senti-
ment of the Christian world.
''The murder of Macmillan, which is but one
Of the scores of murders that mark their tri-
umph, bodies i'll for the Republican Govern
ment of Mexico It deprives it of all sympathy
from other nations, and brings upon it the dis
trust, the scorn, and the hatred, of them ALL
And it shows that it is no national triumph that
has been achieved it is no victory of principle
prevailing over faction, and finding its consum-
nation in the development Of generous and
kindly patriotic sentiment 1t is simply a tri-
umph of faction-low in its aims, never more
venomous than in its success, and violent and
cruel just in proportion to the helplessness Of
its disabled victims There is no hope of last
ing peace for party or a government which
celebrates so signal triumph by so signal a
crime ~

The Albemarle Meeting.

The white people OF Albemarle, or portion
of them, have held meeting at Charlottesville
and resolved that hereafter they will be Repub-
lcans. or at least act with the Northern party
so-called. The meeting appointed some forty
FIVE delegates to represent 1.-THE white people
of the county in 1.-THE unconstitutional Union
Convention to be held in Richmond under the
auspices of Bolts, Hunnicutt &C.; and the
names of the delegates are familiar to us as
those belonging to the representative men OF
Albemarle. In past years it was not uncommon
for people to change sides in politics-from the
weaker to the stronger especially-and we
thought we were prepared for any occurrence
ofthe kind. But after all, the Albemarle move
ment takes us by surprise. 1t does seem very
strange to see gentlemen, some OF whom were
RECENTLY leaders of the Secesh, all OF sudden
whirl themselves over on the Radical platform
along side of the Thad. Stevens and Ben. Wade,
to say nothing of Bolts and Hunnicutt 80 1t
is. however, and hung in the party and on the
nlatform. they are of course invested with all
the rights and privileges of the most orthodox
of their faith. They are doubtless prepared to
sslav down the law" as to the principles and
nolcy of the party. This will be convenience
to us. Heretofore, when we wanted to know
what the Radicals were doing or going to do,
we had to enquire of Pennsylvania, Ohio, or
Massachusetts, but now we have only to call
over the Ridge, and Albemarle will give US the
answer. We want to know one thing forth
vith-are the Abemarle Republicans going to
confscate? Their own bacon is safe, do they
intend to take ours?
But seriously, what do these gentlemen ex-
pect to gain by their movement? Credit Tor
sincerity? Not bit of it. A grim smile no
doubt passes over old Thad Steven S face while
he reads their proceedings. They remind us OF
fable which Esop ought to have written, If
he did not Once upon time, the robins
were in great fear of the hawks, and after
trembling in their boots for long while, hit
upon a wise expedient-they held formal
meeting and solemnly resolved that thenceforth
and forever they would be hawks. We do not
read that the hawks were induced thereby to
cease whetting their beaks.
Let us, while yielding obedience to authority,
maintain manly fortitude in the midst of sui
fering, and not like ''the people Of the land, y
for fear of the Jews pretend to be Jews our
selves. Thus shall we save our selfrespect and
secure the respect of the world, our enemies in
cluded. Let us do right, calmly waiting for a
change in the popular feeling at the North, and
especially trusting in God, who still governs
among men.

THE SENATE CAUCUS. -A caucus of the Re-
publican members of the Senate was held yes
terday afternoon Immediately after the adjourn
ment, Senator Anthony in the chair. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was announced to be the
consideration and adoption Of plan of action
for the present session.
Senator Sumner proposed that general bust
ness be transacted as at a regular session. This
met with warm opposition from number of
Senators, among others, MesSrs. Fessenden,
Trumbull, and Conkling
A second proposition to the effect that the
business be confined to the consideration of the
question of reconstruction was defeated.
Senator Conkling finally offered resolution
that nothing except what is necessary to remove
the distractions to the enforcement of the re-
construction laws as Congress intended they
should be enforced should occupy the attention
of the Senate during the present session. This
was adopted almost unanimously, and Senator
Anthony, the chairman, was instructed to re-
port such resolution to the Senate on Friday.

Mr.. Logan, Of Illinois, is the most active

representatives from the State of Kentucky,
from Congress. The Nat Inteligencer says
''He seems to have forgotten that the rule he
sought to apply to these members elect from
Kentucky applies with greater force to himself
He came to Congress, having been publicly
charged by his own neighbors with arrant dis
loyalty in the early period Of the war. He was
charged with having recruited men for the rebel
service, with having made speeches in favor of
the rebellion, with having been under arrest
for his disloyalty and with having, with appraised
arm, uttered emphaticaly the declaration: eff
ever [ take up arms against the South, may
this arm fall paralyzed.' There is nothing In
all the charges preferred against the Kentucky
members elect equal in disloyalty to the record
