IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO,

New ORLEANS, June 1S.-The following
has been received from Galveston dated
June 16:
We have advices from Queretaro of June
3, and Monterey June 8. A letter from
San Luis of June o. says telegram from
Queretaro of the Sd states that the trial of
Maximiian was not concluded. Sixty
ladies in mourning, residing in San Luis,
called on President Juarez and prayed for
the life of the prisoners taken at Queretaro.
Juarez said he would do all he could COM
patible with justice and his duty; that
many Liberals had been shot, and they had
not irterceded.
Two engagements at the Capitol resulted
in favor of the Republicans, and the foreign.
ers advised Marques to surrender, promising
| to protect his escape.
The Brownsville Ranehero says Ell Eexi-
cana, of the 18th, reports that Santa Anna
was off Vera Cruz.
1t was reported that Maximilian had asked
a private interview with Juarez for the pur-
pose of disclosing important State secrets.
Macmillan was convicted on the night ol
the Sd inst, and sentenced to be shot on the
morning of the 4th, with Miramon and
Mejia.
| MARQUEE, commanding the city of Mexico
has executed General O'Harran, commands
of the post, for reasonable correspondence
with the Liberals. He has also arrested one
hundred and sixty Liberal sympathizers
and threatens to execute them and to burr
the Capital if Macmillan or his Generals
are harmed
| Mejia selected Escobedo for his counsel
who refused to serve, saying, "See him =
first"

and other custom houses on the Rio Grande

The Action Of the President.

The President and his Cabinet yesterday
decided that the opinion of the Attorney
General necessitates the revoking of those
acts of the District Commanders which 1t
declared to be illegal. Mr.. Stanberry him
self pointed out that such action would
necessarily follow the approval of his argu-
ment. "There is," he said, ian executive
duty to be performed here which cannot
safely be avoided or delayed" and, in sup
port of this conclusion, he quoted recent de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, in an elaborate
argument 1t is evident that the Presiden-
tial Interpretation of the Reconstruction law
is not intended to be merely theory it is
to be carried out. AS rapidly as possible
our soldiers in the Rebel States are to be
converted into uniformed policemen, power
less to repress disloyaty or punish crime,
except when they take the shape of murder
and massacre. Ali that Sheridan, and Sick
les, and Pope have done to protect loya!
men, and to prevent the States from falling
altogether into Rebel control, is to be undone
by peremptory order. All that the people
did through their Congress is to be undone
by one man. The law is to be Eulliied.
We are constrained to believe that this as
the Presidents intention, and that he means
that his lightning and Mr.. Stanbery's thun.
der shall fall together. Already the Rebels
in New Orleans are rejoicing in the faith
that Monroe and Abel are to be reinstated
in the offices they abused. If this is not the
Presidents intention, the opinion of his
officer is waste paper, and the Cabinet meet.
ing yesterday an idle threat But there is d
thunderbolt behind that Mr.. johnson
wields, and if, indeed, this issue is to be
forced upon the country, it will he promptly
met. Gen. Schenck, it is said, has already
summoned the Members of Congress to
Washington, and, our dispatches say, of the
fourteen Senators who have accompanied
Senator Wade on his Western excursion

EW"A two column advertisement In the last
weeks Issue of the American inserted by the Demo-
cratic officials Of the county, indicates the good un
derstanding that exists between our neighbcrs and
the said officials. We admire the tact with which
the American folks run Republican paper
without seriously damaging their interests with the
Democracy. We are curious to know whether
last winter, the insertion Is made upon contract
or merely upon promise Of receiving ..some COM
pensation." Even the Democracy Of Lower Au-
gusa, the stronghold Of the faithful, smile upon
neighbors, as evidenced by the insertion Of their
Township Auditors Report last week. k."-Sanbnry
Gazette.
We publish the above article, from the
Gazette, of last week, entire, as the best evil
dence that can be adduced, to show that
the motives of our neighbor, in giving it
publicity, If not altogether selfish, were not
entirely void of envy or jealousy. Our
neighbor is exceedingly anxious that the Ga
sette should be considered the sole organ of
the Republican party in this county-not
so much on account of the principles of the
party as the patronage it may dispense. We
can only say to our neighbor, if he has not
succeeded in running" his paper to suit all
parties, it is not because he has made no ef-
fort to do so. Because the Commissioners Of
the county choose to select the AMERICAN in
preference to the Gazette in matters that
require publication in two papers, is certain
ly no evidence of inconsistency on our part
or wrong in the Commissioners If the Ga.
sette enjoys less of the confidence of either
party than the AMERICAN, it should endea
vor to ascertain the cause and correct the
evil, instead of making vague and unmanly
charges, intended to impair the standing O.
his neighbors by insinuating that we wer'
willing to pander to the opposite party, ii
order to secure the meagre "mess of pot
tage," after which the Gazette has such {
terrible hankering.
1t is only few years since when the Ga
sette claimed to be the exclusive organ o
the democracy of this county, and in orde
to prevent us getting even smell of th'
"fesh potts." over which they SO greedil.
presided, they denounced the AMERICAN a
awhig paper in disguise, which no democra
should support. Now, since their suddel
conversion to Republicanism, they put on
different pair of spectacles, and accuse us o
leaning towards the democracy, in who's
temple they were but recently such arden
worshippers that they could scarcely fin
expletives strong enough to denounce tn
principles of the "rascally whigs."
We regret that we cannot return the com
pliment, and say that we admire the tact
which enables our neighbor to trim his sail
for any breeze, and from any quarter.

Another Letter from Gen. Long
street.

The New Orleans Times having made
some structures on the recent letter Of Gen.
Longstreet, the General writes to the Times
in justification of his course. In this letter
he says:
am we'll satisfied that order cannot be
organized out of confusion as long as the
conflicting interests of two parties are to be
subserved. The war was made upon Re-
publican issues and it seems to me fair and
just that the settlement should be made &C.
cordingly.
This conviction, together with the views
expressed in my letter, and your invitation
in March last, to express my opinions upon
politics, are my excuse for speaking and fol
making the expressions that think due
and for offering my counsel to the people.
If understand the object of politics, il
is to relieve the distress OF the people, and
to provide for their future comfort. The
course that advise will be sure to meet
this view, and do justice to ALL In times Of
great ease and comfort should not presume
to interfere with politics, no matter what
technicalities or special pleadings might bt
adopted by parties. But these are unusua
times, and call for practical advice.

eV" THE Pittsburgh Gazette says: 1t is a
matter of congratulation that Pittsburgh is
the healthiest city in the Union, and, indeed,
in proportion to population, we might add,
in the broad world. The mortality list will
bear us out in the assertion. For the seven
days ending June 9th, there were only seven
deaths, three of which resulted from causes
generally ignored in forming judgment OF
the public health, viz still-born, suicide by
intemperance and accident.
