The Montreal Garrison Officers Defeated BY
the 'Amalgamated' Eleven.
The game commenced on Wednesday morning, at
the Cricket Ground at Hudson City, N j., and which,
unjusty purported to be an international match"
between America and Canada, was decided yester.
day in favor of the Americans. The young Officers
representing the Montreal garrison necessarily
somewhat wearied by their two days. play with the
St. George Club formerly the "crack" club OF the
country and could scarcely be expected to make
very bold stand against party composed Of fresh,
lively young Americans and English professionals"
The presence OF the latter in the field was somewhat
OF an insult to party Of gentlemen amateurs who
expected TO play with similar party OF American
gentlemen and not with Englishmen and profession

presence here has been such as to show clearly that
they were gentlemen In every respect, and was in
marked contrast to that Of some Of their hosts The
batting OF wallace yesterday was remarkably fine,
while Pepys and Brown did also some handsome hit

A HIGHLY SENSATIONAL REPoRT.-Tbe
New York correspondent of the Waterford
Mni!, under date Of December 8, writes
"Admiral TegethoG, Of the Austrian
navy, is now en- route for home, with what
he believes to be the body Of the unfortu-
nate Macmillan. My connection with the
Mexican agents in this country forbids my
entering into minuti@, but 1 can assert
that the remains which will be honored by
Austria are not those Of the Inflated scion
Of the House of IIapsburg, but of Hamero,
a noted bandit and guerrilla, who, in life,
was not unlike our Macmillan. The lat
ter is pining in an obscure dungeon in
Queretaro, fed with felon's food, and
awaiting the arrival Of welcome death.
The night before his supposed execution
Juarez, uncertain of his own success in
seeking the Presidency, and perhaps IN
willing to imbrue his hands in royal blood,
had the noble captive conveyed by stealth
to secret den, and substituted in his
stead the ruflian Hamero, hoping, had he
not succeeded in his political aspirations,
to have made fortune by delivering him
to Austria"

AGRICULTURAL REP RT-INTEREsTIN
STATEMESTs.-The forthcoming monthlyre-
port Of the Commissioner of Agriculture will
show some interesting features. The corn
crop for 1867, it is therein stated, will be less
than in 1850, notwithstanding the largely
increased population Of the United States.
The total, 775,S32,O00 bushels, is about
So 900, 900 bushels less than the total census
returns of 1860, which was S3S,792, 74C
bushels. The crop Of Pennsylvania for
1861 can be stated at 3d. 57 900 bushels
Delaware at 3,63O,000; Maryland, II, $780,
600; Virginia, is, 400 900 and North Caro-.
lima, Ii, 1914, 900 bushels.
The returns relative to cotton indicate
fully twenty per cent. increase in the
aggregate over the crop of the year pre-
vious. The total estimate places the last
crop at 100000 bales.
An interesting feature of the report is al
article on the trade Of the Atlantic Stetes
with California, and table attached, show
ing that the vessels which have brought
wheat hither from the Pacific coast have
taken back nearly twelve millions worth
of manufactured goods and assorted mer-
chandise for the quarter ending Septem-

The DEMOCRATS LOOKING UP.-A sig
niGcant feature of the Democratic cele-
bration Of the Sth Of January was the uu-
mistakably hopeful look by the partici-
pants. One year ago the Democratic
committee had uphill work to raise the
steam for creditable celebration; this
year it was decidedly spontaneous and
enthusiastic affair, bringing out more of
our solid, sedate Democratic citizens than
we ever remember to have seen together
before on such an occasion. Everybody
looked radiantly hopeful. Not wrinkle
was to be seen on the smiling face Of the
President. The consciousness that "my
policy" so much ridiculed QUE year ago,
is now treated with respectful considera-
ton, seemed to irradate every lineament
of his face. Judge Black was in exube-
rant spirits, and his ample wig, which, like
Lord Brougham's nose, has a fexibility
making it correspond to the workings OF
his countenance, fairly danced as his mo-
bile brows went up and down in the course
of his buoyaut remarks. Messrs. DoolitSIe,
Harshall, Ewing Brooks, Blcir, Hoover,
and others, were in the sunnieGt of moods,
and q general air Of cheerfulness and trust
in the good things Providence might hcye
in store for the Democracy pervnded the
assemblage. In fact, the Democracy, here
about at least, wear the air of men who
expect to win in the coming presidential
campaign Washington Star.

WISCONSIN SENATE IN DoUBT.-There is
a prospect for an interesting time, politi-
cally, in the Wisconsin Legislature, which
assembled at Madison Wednesday. In the
lower House the Republicans have de-
cided majority, but the Senate is about
evenly divided-the Republicans having
lost three members in the last election
If every member elected as a Republican
could be relied upon to act with the party
there would be working majority of t,ro ;
but it is claimed by leading Democrats
that two of the senators elected in 1866
will act with the Democracy, having sig
niGed their intention to do so-in which
event the latter party will have majority
of t,ro in the Senate.
