The Washington corr spondent of the Syra.
cuse (N. ~ journal, of August l8, says:-
1t is Understood here that Rosecraus objects
strenuously to certain features OF his lnsJruc.
toLs with regard TO Mexican affairs. The sur
mise is made that two points are adro,tly pre-.
rented; one intended 10 hold the republican
JuaIez administration responsible for some OF
the ThuTlow Weed-Clarence Sc ward speCulatlons
uloer the empire. There Is an Imperial Express
Company, street rails system, railroad and
Telegraph contracts, ETC., in which the New
York spectators were greatly interested.
Another point Is reported to look towards
efforts tor the cesson OF portion OF Northern
Mexico.
1t will be remembered that very soon after
the surrender OF the Rebel armies General ].
NJ. Schoheld, now Secretary OF War, visited
Europe, ostensiDly on leave of Absence. He was
gone rearly twelve months, and spent most OF
the time at the Austrian and French capitals.
Toe General was accompanied by two d des.de-
camp, which was to the more ob-ervlDg re-
garded a. evidence that his yi,it was not merely
private, but had some semi official lhciuce,
military or otherwise. Toe truth is the General
was sent to Europe on a dip 'omatic mission,
with view to induce the Withdrawal of the
foreign troops then sustaining Maxim,lan
They were withdrawn. The mission was sug-
gested, urged, and arranged bv General Grant
SHORTLY after the folio wing letter was written by
him to the Presldent:-

1t is reported there was some opposition
indirect, Al least, from Mr.. Seward 10 General
Scho6eld's mission. BY the way, 1t may De n
fact worth remembering hereafter that the
French Emperor offered the prize aimed at in
the Imperial Mexican scheme to the Austrian
Archduke three years before the latter actually
acc epted it. This appears from recent Franco.
Mexican papers nov being prepared oy q
prominent Frevch publlcist, who was Max's
confidential correspondent in Paris. The
latter appeared in Mexico in the summer or
fall of 1862. 1t is known that he was p trtY 10
the scheme in 1861. Three years before that
would locate the plans inception some time IN
THE Disturbances in Sonora.
The New York Tunes correspondent writing
from Vera Cruz, Aug. 4, says:-
AS a heading fo~ news from Mexico you would
do we'll to stereotype something like this:-
New Pronunciamentos - Prisoners Captured
and Shot by Government IroopsAPrlsoners
berry Rape-Arsou-hurd etc. You might
add any other crimes enumerated in the DlvIue
decalogue, or in the penal codes of civilized
nations, aud an impartial correspondent from
this unfortunate country would have no diff.
Guilty In literally hlling the bill at least once
month. lbave only time to give at present hasty
report OF what have heard and gathered from
the newspapers. Those from the capital are to
the 3Oth nit. In Sonora the Tevouliouists arc
reported to have come TO grIet The band
raised and commanded by Salvador Vssquez,
which had commenced to perform "some ex-
ploits" in the way OF pillaPing and stealing, was
surprised and routed by the Government troops
in the town of Oputo. All the plunder of
the enemy, with twenty-four prisoners-all
natives OF Chihuahua remained in the
hands of the victoIs. Salvador Vasquez and
the two lesser rIngleaders, Jose Chacon and
Anastasio Vargas. were, of course. Immediately
shot. Vasquez was formerly in the service of
MaXimlian- The troops which defeated him
were the National Guard, of AIIspe. The PrenSd
OF Guadaaxara, states that on The 18th alt.
Cuidad Guzman was threatened by consider
able band Of insurgents; that nearly all the
ptople were under arms, and that fears were
entertained that many of them would join the
rev eyolutionists. From CordoVa intelligence has
been received OF skirmsn at Paso del Macho
between men OF the State Police and
some forty or fifty insurgents; the latter
il is said were defeated with a loss OF two
killed and three wounded and had retired to
Camaron, where they stole all the horses they
could ind. They also attempted (but failed) to
suTIrise one of the stoles of Colonel Heredia,
where another SIX rmi-h occurred. A force of
cavalry and infantry under COloael Jinenez had
lett CoIdcva in pursuit. Three officers of the
insurgents bad been captured at Bagres. One
OF them proved TO be Nurberto Gonzales, VINO
lately issued a pronuDcameuto at san Antonio
de los Martinez, and who assasslnaled Colonel
Leila and officer Gutierrez.
The Du Quom Nll) tribune saws that
owing to the dissatisfaction among the Demo
cracy of that section of the State at the
selection by their party of the "blood-thirsry
1ioter,p Horatio Seymour, as their candidate for
the Presidency, there are numbers OF them
iorsaklng the party and joining The Republicans,
the more prominent OF which it names Mr..
member OF that party, and also Captain
Cunningham, the falher-in.law of General
Logan, aud Colonel Robert Hunley, both OF
Wi hanson county.
