The Mexican press are already canvassing
the policy that will be chosen by President
Grant towards Mexico, and they are speculat-
ing on the course that Minister Rosecrans win
pursue in his relations with the government of
President Juarez. Tho wish of both will be
for peace, law, order and protection for indus
trious people, foreign as well as native.
We have this morning the news by way Of
New Orleans that Branlio Vargas and his fol-
lowers had defeated and routed General Esco-
bedo, who threw up his command, announcing
his inability to put down the revolt in Tamau-
lipas against Governor Cara. The report
seems strange. Had any engagement taken
place at the Hacienda de Alamitos we should
have had the news by way Of Tampico and
Vera Cruz, from which ports we have mail
dates to November Z, whereas the
account of this defeat is dated
Brownsville, November 12. The Alamitos
hacienda is not on the main road from Tampico
to Victoria, whittier General Escobedo was
going to take command Of the troops concen-
tratcd there under government orders. The
hacienda is about forty miles northwest Of
Tampico, on . small country road between the
main road and the sea. The announcement
that General Escobedo escaped with his staff
to Monterey, nearly four hundred miles north
west from Tampico and two hundred and
eighty miles northwest from Victoria, whittier
he was bound and where the bulk of his
troops was stationed, looks improbable. How
ever, we need not be surprised at any news
from the distracted republic.

Mr.. Seward ON Cuban FilibusterinG.


Mr.. Seward has assured the Spanish Minister
at Washington that he need not be uneasy
about rumored flibustering expeditions to
Cuba, that no vessels will be allowed to
leave any Of our seaports for such pur-
poses and that he himself lends no credit
to the rumors now afoat on the subject.
Thus the Secretary of State still sustains his
habitual r6yc Of an optimist. Throughout our
late terrible and prolonged civil war he tran
gully smoked his cigar and constantly adhered
to his first prediction that the war would last no
longer than sixty days from date. AS q pro-
phet Mr.. Seward is recognized by the world at
his actual value. In the Mexican imbroglio he
chanced to blunder into prediction which was
realized in the expulsion Of the French troops
and the overthrow of Maximilians empire.
He may prove equally fortunate In his guess
az to the ultimate results Of Cuban Hlibuster-
ing but this will be not 80 much by reason Of
the foresight and efficiency of the United States
government az from the fact that the whole
business of the projected Cuban expedition is
a gross fraud and humbug from beginning to
end

For several weeks past many OF the prominent dry

Sixth avenue have lost BY the shrewd operations o(
shopters Of the rarest Of the articles displayed
by them for sale, and although they were confident
because Of certain circumstances, that women per-
loined them, Jet the attempt to catch them in the
act had proven abortive until last evening" At this
time the large Jewelry firm OF Messrs. Robert n.
Macy Co., No. 204 sixth avenue, was visited BY
quite o fashionably dressed and modest appearing
woman, ostensibly to purchase certain articles OF
silverware. which were exhibited to her In great

Tho Chinese Embassy nc Windsor Castle.
The reception accorded by the Queen on
Friday last to Mr.. Burlingame and the other
members Of the Chinese Embassy at Windsor
Castle was Of character to fully convince us
that the great objects Of the mission are in a
fair way of being accomplished. Nothing
could be more cordial than the reception.
Nothing could be in better taste than the senti-
mcnts expressed on both sides. In his address
to her Majesty Mr.. Burlingame did not suf-
nciently get over the stump habits acquired by
most of our American public men. To the
general success Of the presentation, however,
this was but trifing drawback-if, indeed, II
was drawback at all for It must have been
refreshing to her Majesty TO be addressed in
true American style. After the unreasoning
outbursts Of the English press II is gratifying
to come into contact with the good sense Of the
Queen and the broad, statesmanlike views OF
Lord Stanley. The Queen was pleased to
greet Mr.. Burlingame and the mission, and 1t
was her belief that the mission was step in
the right direction. Lord Stanley snubbed
the press by declaring its opposition to be the
result Of ignorance; his own views In regard
to China were identical with those Of Mr..
Burlingame, in whom he recognized not
merely the responsible chief Of the Chinese
Embassy, but true type Of the representative
American.
or course Il Is not possible that much can be
done In the way Of business until the new
Parliament meets. II Is little likely that Lord
Stanley will commit himself or the govern
ment to any definite line Of policy. He knows

IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES IN ALASKA. by
the arrival of the prospecting" United States
steamer wayanda at San Francisco we have
the intelligence Of some important discoveries
Of bays, harbors and numerous coal mines
among the coast islands Of Alaska, between
Sitka and Behring's Strait. The wayanda,
we are further informed, viii soon return TO
Alaska to resume her explorations. But we
want something more than this. We want .
well equipped, competent scientific expedi-
tion fitted out for the purpose Of exploring
the unknown interior Of Alaska, and in season
to strike into the heart Of the country with the
breaking up Of the great river Youcan; for
we want TO know what is In the inside Of that
immense and unknown Territory which has
been paid for in California gold.
The New York herald., 1868-11-24

We have great respect for the clergy. They
are a hard working, useful class of men. Cir
cumstances, however, necessarily limit the
range of their observation, and an imperfect
induction Of facts makes conclusion always
doubtful, sometimes dangerous. We do not
much wonder that the clergy have been blind
to twofold class Of evils which bid fair to
prove the ruin of this country. We refer to
political iniquity on the one hand and financial
iniquity on the other. Both evils have money
for their reward-that is to say, those who
commit the evils make them pay. Clergymen
naturally like to see their pews well filed, like
to see them filed with those who dress well
and live in style-in other words, like to iden-
tify well filed church with good revenue,
which means good stipend. How Mr.. Peter
kin-who occupies the most costly pew in the
church, contributes most to the pecuniary sup
port Of its different agencies and in the shape
Of sons or daughters or dresses makes the
finest show, not to speak Of his princely man
sion-makes his money is no business OF the
clergyman. 1t is unpleasant however, for the
popular clergyman to begin to know that the
men to whom he has been looking up and the
elegant families who make up his Sunday audi
ence, and on whom he leans for support, are
sustained by species Of swindling which is Q
disgrace not only to the house Of God, but to
human nature. Clergymen have long been
blind-willingly or uhwillingly we choose not
to say. This, however, we must say, that
while they have been silent the outside world
has been greatly wondering and learning TO
despise them for their silence. In the circum
stances it is not much to be wondered at that
when the clergy begin to awake from their
dream, or, rather, begin to speak out the truth
that is in them, it should be felt to be o new
sensation. Our political and financial centres
have long been exposed by the Independent
press. We have been panied by the silence Of
the pulpit. Knowing, however, that the press
is the only truthful and daring preacher of the
day, we have not been impatient. We knew
that the time must come when the pulpit could
no longer be silent, but must speak out. The
time has come. Our columns yesterday taught
the world that the pulpit was at last loud with
the social sins of the day. Mr.. Beecher
deserves praise for showing an example. Mr..
Beecher has had the good sense to keep up the
fire. Mr. Beecher, however, is no longer
alone. Wall street, the whiskey rings and
political corruption are now more powerful and
telling texts than any to be found anywhere
in sacred Scripture. The audacity of these
operators has enabled them to brave public
opinion. Wealth has helped them to blind the
public and defy the law. Now that the sin is
out and the pulpit and the press are equally
awake it remains to be seen what will be the
result

The MAYoRALTy.-John Kelly, who, it
appears, is in exceedingly delicate health,
got serious relapse on being requested
70 swallow the Mayoralty nomination. His
Sgorge rose at it," so he sent It back
TO the committee with many thanks. This, we
presume, settles the matter Of the Mayoralty
definitely, and leaves the course open to Oakley
Hall, the genial companion, the witty maker Of
verses and concocter Of funny dramas, the
guide, counsellor and friend" of intellectual
young New York. The nomination Of Mr..
Green, the Park Commissioner, in place Of
Mr.. Kelly, and the nomination Of Colonel +.
A. Conkling by the republicans, which is only
to preserve their organization, is not likely to
effect any change; so that the question Of
who is to be our next Mayor may be con-
sidered as settled, Oakley Hall being the man.
