SENATOR WILSON'S CAMPAIGN.

OPPRESSION OF FREEDMEN WHO VOTE THE

GENT CAUSE FOR THE ENACTMENT OF CONFIs-
CATION LAWS, ETC. 49,.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 5.-Senator Wilson is
still here He started for savannah on Satur-
day morning, but after getting out to sea the
boat had to put back to Charleston on account
of q severe storm. General Sickles, General
Scott, and many other of the prominent citizens
have paid him all due attention. He abandons
his contemplated visit TO Beaufort and Savan-
nah, and leaves here tomorrow for Augusta.
From there he goes to Montgomery, thence to
Mobile, thence to New Orleans and from there
he ascends the Mississippi. He purposes speak
ing at various points in Tennessee and Kentucky
on his way North.
In his second speech here, on Friday night
Mr.. Wilson referred 10 the intimations which
are being made. that colored men who vote with
the Republican party may lose employment and
be turned out of their cabins and holdings and
he said that would be the first act to wards con-
tiscalion, if it should take place. He thought it
very likely that Congress would regard it as a
violation of the Reconstruction law, which con-
templates the free exercise Of manhood suffrage
and would conhscate the property of men so
offending. He himself would support such a
measure; but If the Reconstruction act was car.
ried out fairly and impartially, and proper per-
sons were chosen as Senators Sa1 and Representa-
admitted, and that no measure of con6scation
would be resorted TO.
The colored people indulged largely to-day
IN their new privilege of riding in the street
cars. The whites took II with good-humOTed
Tesignations

CAPTURE AND EXECUTION OF AN BMIssARY FROM

ETC. ETC. ....
MATAMoRAs, April 24.-The stage which
arrived last evening brought news from Quere-
taro to the 18th. -f-.sIe.
An emissary of Macmillan, bearing letters to
Marquee, had been captured by the Liberals.
His name is given as Pedro Santo. The letters
state that Queretaro could not hold out much
longer. The emissary was executed. From his
confession, it is evident that the ammunition
and subsistence of the Imperialists is almost
exhausted
A Monterey paper has the following, dated
from Queretaro the l3th.-
At eight o'clock yesterday evening the enemy
opened terrible hre upon us Doubtless his intention
LATER.-It is now nine o'clock A. Nj. The fire has
ceased. The enemy was vigorously repused:

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

THB MPKRIALIsTs TAKING THE ARMS FROM THE
LOWER GLASSES IN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES s DECREE
AGAINST FOREIGNERs-NORE oUTRAGBs ON THE
BORDER.
MATAMoRAs, April 22.-By the stage of satur-
day evening, the 20th, we have news from
QueretarO to the 18th instant; but there is
nothing OF importance to record.
The papers in the interior are mostly taken up
with accounts Of the operations of General Diaz
reached you via Vera Cruz prior to the recep-
tiOn of this.
The relative position of the Liberals and I'M
peraists about Puebla and the capital was as
tollows:-Diaz occupying Puebla, his line ex-
tending to Tlascala. At San Martin, on the road
from that city to the capital, General Letva,
whose line extends as far as Rio Frio on the
same road Marquee al Guadalupe, east of San
Martin. Zumpango was occupied by Guadar-
rama, where he was enabled to cover the road
leading from Guadalupe to the capital. As will
be seen, the disposition of the Liberal forces
was SUCH that whatever route MARQUEE at
tempted to return TO the capital he would come
in contact with them.
Tacubaya, near Mexico, was occupied by
Francisco A. Velez, who kept constantly harass-
ing the Imperialsts inside the capital.
Marquee provided with $400,000 half OF the
prestdmO which he imposed upon the city Of
Mexico, came out of the city on the 3lst ultimo,
arrived at Cautitan, and returned IN the direc-
tion of Puebla by the Apam Plains road. Gene
raj Leyva, with four or five thousand men,
mostly cavalry was at Ayotla. General Qua
darrama, with Eve thousand cavalry, and Jesus
Lalunne, with fifteen hundred infantry were
to act violently against Marquee.
The COdbuilense OF Saltillo, on the 18th inst,
says that the Imperialists attempted a sally on
the 18th inst, by the San Luis road, but were
repulsed with heavy loss in killed, wounded,
and prisoners.
The same journal says the Imperialists had with
drawn the arms which they had given to the
lower class of people, in order, it is said, not to
impede their flight, or else to save the necessity
of subsistng them, as supplies are every day
growing more scarce, and they are now hardly
able TO feed their army.
Juarez has issued a decree Withdrawing from
those foreigners who are citizens of European
powers that recognized the empire the privilege
of taking out matriculation papers, abolishlng
all treaty stipulatons with those powers, and
abolishing all privileges and exemptions here
tofore enjoyed by such foreigners not contained
in the Constitution of 1867.
The effect of this decree will be to reduce all
foreigners, save Americans, to the level of
Mexican subjects, rendering them liable to con.
scription, forced loans, and con6scation of pro-
perty; and in all things they become subject to
like pains and penalties as native subjects.
The result will doubtless be hasty exit of all
foreigners who can by any possibility get away.
