HOW HE WAS TRAPPED.

On the 9th of March the imperial army
marched out of Queretaro, and took up
position with its centre on the Cerro de la
Campana, where MaXimilian was after
wards captured its LETT, under Castillo, eX-
tending to the Cerro of San Gregorio, and
its right, under Mejia, reaching to the
Cimeterie hill, and Miramon in command of
the advance guard. Here Marquee, who
as chief of staff commanded the operations,
waited in the stupid expectation that the
liberals, who were advancing up the valley,
would attack him in the position chosen by
himself. He might easily have attacked
the liberals in detail as they came up and
defeated them. Instead of that, he waited
until the morning of the 9th of March, and
then woke up to find that in the night the
liberals had fianked, had taken possession
of the suburb of San Luis (something else
unprononnceable), separated from Quere-
taro proper by the river, and were in com
mand of all the heights round the city.
This is how the siege came about. Esco-
bedo's dispatch about the capture of the
position of San Gregorie, after severe
fight, in which he captured several pieces
of artillery and several guns, was blatant
nonsense. Marquez's great mistake was
that he never occupied that position in
force at all. Had he done so, he need never
have been besieged at all.

THE Ex-EMpERoR's HUMANITY.


1t may be useful to recall here, now that
Macmillan himself is in danger of the
fate from which he saved so many others,
that at the very outset MaXimilian set his
foot down against retaliation, and declared
his intention of carrying on a civilized
war, and no other. The news of the mas
sacre of San Jacinto had just reached Que
retaro. / wonder whether the full facts of
that brutal affair have ever been published
how the poor fellows knew, nothing of
their impending fate till the order came, at
three O'Clock in the morning, for them to
form themselves in squads of fifteen for ex-
ecution-how, with generous rivalry, they
struggled to be first in the procession of
death-how the second fifteen, marching
with firm step to the place of slaughter,
met the mangl gled bodies of the first fifteen
returning, and so on to tine hideous end.
and how, out of fone hundred and sixty brave
men ten only survived-ten officers of ESco-
bedo's staff having asked and obtained the
privilege of saving life each. Burning
with desire to avenge his wounded BROTH
er'S death, Miramon issued proclamation
to his corps telling them their enemies had
thrown down the gauntlet of war with
out quarter, and henceforth war to the
knife it should be. MaXimilian, even un-
der this strong provocation, vetoed Mira,
mons decree in an addrsss to his troops;
called upon them to hehaTe as became the
soldiers of civilized nation. and in the
hour OF victory not to forget the respect
due to the vanquished. Tins proclamation
he constantly enforced by precept and ex
ample, and from the first hour OF the siege
to the last never permitted an execution.
even when by all the laws of war it would
have been justifiable, and ordered that all
wounded Liberals should be treated with
the same consideration as his own soldiers.
There were atrocities enough committed
in and around Queretaro. There would
have been infinitely more but for the bu-
MaXimilian. s..

3 WHY THEY REMAINED.

After this came the discovery that there
was no ammunition left in the city, and
that. the, attacking force immensely out
numbered the garrison. Then Vidaurri
set about manufacturing ammunition in
the city, and he and Marquee put for Mex
expedition you have already been advised
of. After this came constant quarrels be-
tween Escobedo and Corona, the one advo-
eating a siege and the other a renewed as
sault. For rsomedays these quarrels threat
ened to divide the armies OF the north and
west. At last the siege policy prevailed,
and Escobedo, to cover his lack of energy

THE FIRST FIGHT.

The first attack was made on the 14th of
March. In the meantime the barricadPs
and works around the city had been made
stronger, but not to anything like the ex-
tent to which they were afterwards
strengthened. The Liberal troops attacked
at four points-at the Cruz, where Max. de-
Tended in person and was always in the
thick of the fire, at the Cerro de la Cam
pana, at the bridge, and the Alameda.
They were repulsed with great slaughter
at each point, and captured not a gun nor
a work. Prince Salm Salm, on the other
hand, made brilliant little sortie over the
bridge and brought in rifled Parrott gun
which was doing considerable execution.
The loss of the attacking force in this
engagement may be estimated from the
fact chat the besieged, who fought behind
entrenchments and were victorious, lost
five hundred killed and wounded .s8

ANECDoTE OF President JOHNSON AND GENE
RAJ SCHoEPF.-In the memorable "Wild Cat "
campaign in Kentucky in 1861, President John
son, then Senator johnson of Tennessee, was
with our army; and at Crao Orchard be went to
General Thomas headquarters, and was there
urging the General to make an advance move
ment at once on Cumberland Gap" thence
into East Tennessee; but Thomas, being col,
dier of sound judgment, was giving Mr. johnson
the reasons why his projected campaign would
prove failure. johnson intent only Cd having
an army in East Tennessee, urged the movement
with such warmth, and differed so widely in
judgment and assertions with the General as to
really amount to fiat contradiction of Thomas
theory. General Schoepf, aPolander, command
ing the First brigade, not knowing who Johns
son was, and thinking General Thomas too tim
id too suffer himself to be thus contradicted by
citizen, became very indignant and turning to
General Thomas, said in his broken English,
"Sheneral, ven de sitizen COON on my dent and
talk dis way, | shOost order him vot be leaves"
johnson, without giving Thomas time to reply,
turned full upon Schoepf, and pointing his finger
at him in a tone of Indignation, said, "You orr
derl Cd d-n you, make and unmake better
generals than you every day. Do you know
whom you are talking to, you Cd d-n woods
en- shoed Dutchman p and Immediately turned
to Thomas and continued his discourse, but fail
ing to convince General T., he left. Schoepf
then inquired of General Thomas, "Wbo ish dat
mans ?" ''That is Senator johnson, of Tennes-
see," says General Thomas. "Der devil p' says
Schoepf, "DenI goes NIT mine own CAMP"

WHERE ARE We DRIFTNG.-The New York
Herald, after doing all in its power to bring
about the insane policy pursued toward the
South, is now being alarmed at its own works
1t says:
"From the developments of the registration
of voters in toe Ave Southern military districts
we see under the rebel restriction and negro
suffrage conditions of Congress, the blacks, iu
each aud all of the ten Southern States con-
cerned, bold the issues of reconstruction in th heir
hands. From the result of the late Tennessee
election and other revelations the subject, it
is manifest that these Southern blacks, from Vir-
ginia to Texas, led and managed by Northern
radicals, are already, en- n1asSe, banded together
under the flag OF the Republican party. From
all these facts, and from the general drift of the
reconstruction movements of the day, it is NOR,
ally certain that the negroes, with the restora>
tion of these ten Southern States to Congress,
will bold the balance of power therein, which
before the late rebellion, was held and exercised
By their white masters in the control of the gen.
eral government. 10 view of this startling trans
fer of our national balance of power we are call
ed upon to pause and consider the probable con,
sequences. After a terrible civil war of four
years, Involving a bloody sacrifice OF over nafru
million able bodied men and putting upon the
country the heavy burden of three thousand mil.
lions of debt, we were released from the domi-
nation of three hundred thousand Southern slave
holders. Heavy as were the costs of this libera>
tion from tyrannical and insolent oligarchy,
the end achieved was still regarded with proud
exultation, as amply rewardng US for all our
contributions in men and money. But if the
power welded 10 their day by those three hun.
dred thousand domineering white slave holders
to be transferred to their four millions of igno.
rant debased and credulous negro slaves, we
may we'll inquire what have we gained or where
are to be our conpensations for all these stupen-
dous efforts and sacrifices required to put down
the slave holders rebellion? Are we drifting
from the 'excesses of liberty, equality and fra
ternity to aGrench reign of terror, or the bloody
reprisals of st. Domingo, or to that fusion or
or confusion of races which eliminated in Mexi.

A DoUBLE-HEADED CHILD.-We take the fol.
lowing description of a remarkable birth from
the San Jose Patriot of Saturday last: 4" On
Tuesday of this week we witnessed with our own
eyes, and not another's, one of the most remark
able objects that ever breathed the breath of
heaVen-the body of a child with two perfect
heads and four complete well-formed arms. The
lower limbs are natural and also the extreme
lower part of the body. Just above the hips the
body begins to increase in size, the back bone
branching out to the right and diverging sufi.
ciently to give room for two shoulder blades be-
tween them, in their proper position, the distinct
two forms beginning their separate existence
just below the arm pits. In front, the body be-
low the navel appears natural. Above that point
it gradually branches out into two separate or
ganizations, the breast bones being joined. The
vital organs are all double. The shoulders and
necks are all perfect, aud the heads are well
formed The features regular and we'll De-
veloped, one head appearing to be thstofa male,
while the features of the other resemble that of
a female. The genitals of the male are perfect
this is a wonderful specimen of the
genus man. Like the Siamese twins, the two
faces are naturally inclined toward each other,
the back of the body being broader than the
front part The inside arms are in such posi-
tion to naturally twne around the little necks,
each of its fellow giving pleasing effect The
weight of the body, after having been somewhat
reduced by the process of embalming, was eight
pounds. The child was born in this village, on
Sunday, the 14th inst, Drs. J. A. Mcdonald and
Alex. McKean being in attendance. One side
lived afew minutes after being issued into this
world, and then died, while the other did not
breathe"

UxrvERsAL SUFFRAeE 0RDEAL.-To the foreign
element we are now adding a still larger one,
more uutaught and quite as susceptible of easy
control; and very soon we shall add another in
the hundreds of thousands of Asiatics who are
pouring into the Pacific States, into whose heads
the lirst idea of selfgovernment has never en-,
tered For we cannot go backward we must
90 through with the experiment we have under
taken, for veal or woe. There are many thought
full men who believe that the severest ordeal of
our institutions is yet to come, aid through this
unlimited aud unqualified extension of the suf'
fraqe. Nor does it relieve this apprehension to
insist that the theory of universal suffrage is
right; that whoever must support the govern
ment and obey the laws should have voice in
the making Of the laws and the election of their
administrators. Those who have established
the government and maintained it at a great
cost Of treasure and blood, are not to yield such
blind ana unqualified allegiance to theory as
to surrender the controlof affairs to those mani
testify incapable Of perpetuating free Institutions.
