NEW York, May 5-A special dispatch gives
the following communication from Samuel
Bowles to the Cincinnati Commercial
CINCINNATI, May 4, 1872
10 TIE Editor Of the Commercial: Sir find
the following in your New York dispatches of
to-day:
cat this point Mr.. Greeley stated that he
would be glad TO See the lies that Sam Bowles
had been circulating to the prejudice of Senator
FentOn corrected. Bowles has been seduiously
sowing the impression that Senator Fenton had
gone to Cincinnati with himself as the first
choice and Davis as second. This was totally
false. kenton had not expressed wish for the
nomination at all, but did desire the nomna.
ton OF the strongest man. If that was Adams
well and good; but Davis was about the last in
the race. Early last night he had telegraphed
to the New York delegation to press the name
Of Greeley as the strongest candidate"
MIR. GreeleyS unexpected nomination seems
to have turned his usually level head. He GER
tainly strikes quite wild here. That Governor
Fenton came to Cincinnati in the Davis intrigue
Is too plain to those who know the history of
this weeks contest for the Cincinnati nomna-
non, 10 admit OF doubt. That he fled back to
washington when he found it was discovered
and broken up, and that he must confront
the question of earnestly supporting Mr..
Greeleys nomination or selling him
out, lies upon the surface of the
weeks history. All this believed
and telegraphed. / did not believe and did not
tVlCB dpH ludl ne dreamed OF becoming a candl-
date himself and had arranged to have his name
presented after he had gotten out of the way.
Gov. kenton'S weaknesses do not lie in such ex-
treme folly as that. But it is true that Mr.
Greeley's friends suffered from two annOyanees
first, that Governor Fenton came here at all.
and second that he went away so suddenly and
secretly; and the motives of his flight were
the occasion of grave suspicion Iamong even
the New York delegation. Mr.. Greeley
owes very little of his success to Governor Fen
ton. lie owes it, first, to those who boldly threw
themselves into the arena and smashed the
Davis job, that had been so industriously put up
at Washington, and in New York, and Pennsyi-
wanna, and Illinois; and deep in which were
some OF those who were protesting TO be Mr..
Greeley's earnest friends and advocates and,
second, he owes it to the appearance of Frank
T. Blair and Gratz Brown upon the ground on
the last day, breaking into and dividing the
ranks OF the revenue reformers and carrying
off portion Of them to the great hero and ad-
vocate OF protection, added, of course, to his
own high personal qualities and popularity, and
the deep hold he has acquired upon the hearts
of the people Of the south and west But, with
his usual perversity of temper and openness to
fattery, Mr.. Greeley will probably contrive to
give his faith and attribute his success to those
who fawn upon him, and who use him, ard
slander and abuse those braver and truer
friends who dare to expose them 10 him and the
world, and tell him the truth that he needs to
hear, even if he does not like it,
(Signed) SAMUEL BowLEs.

Mexico

MATAMoRAs, May 2.-The revolutionary army
changed its base last night, having abandoned
its camp on the river six miles above and swung
around into San Fernando road behind and
about fifteen miles distant from this city. 1t is
supposed this movement has been made to head
off Gen. CevallOs, with government force, who
IS said to be approaching from that direction
The country now occupied by the revolutiOnists
affords the chief source of supplies heretofore
reaching mis- city from the Mexican side and is
the richest part of the state of Tamaulipas in
cattle and horses, of which the revoutionistS
are greatly in need. From their present position
they could advance toward Victoria, capital of
the state of TampcO, and at the same time keep
up practical siege Of this city and cut off COM
munication with the interior at any moment.
The object of Gen. Trevlno in changing his base
is purely coniectural, but it does not indicate an
immediate attack on this city.
Gen. Cevallos received scouts to-day inform
ing him that Gen. Ochoas has entered Monterey
with 600 government cavalry, and holds the
place. TrevinO's revolutionary army is known
to be IN full retseat toward Camargo, having
passed Reynosa this morning sixty miles above.
This backward movement is doubtless owing to
the occupation Of Monterey by government
forces. Col. Valedez with 700 men bad defeated
the revolutionary general, Falcon, in the state
OF Nueva Leon on the 26th ult., with consider
able loss on both sides. Valedez, having been
severely wounded, went to Laredo, Texas,
where he was arrested for having previously
violated tue neutrality law in organizing his
expedition near that place some weeks since.
He will be sent to San Antonio for trial. Gems.
Caballos, 1revallo and PalaciO, with their entire
force, are leaving in pursuit Of Trevino's re-
treating army. The city is left under the pro-
lection of the national guard under General
Ayalla.

Mechanics hall was filed to oveIfowng last
evening, by the friends of temperance, in an
swer TO a call for mass meeting, for the pur-
pose of advancing the cause of temperance,
and arousing an interest in the vote to be taken
upon the beer question on Tuesday The meet
ing was opened by the reading of selections of
scripture by Rev. e. W. Phillips, and prayer
by Rev. II. T. Cheever.
Rev. james o. Knowles of Grace church, was
the first speaker Of the evening, and began by
saving that he was present for the purpose of
speaking right out in relation TO the question to
be put before the people, and would ask them
all to say no" louder than it had ever been
said before. He believed that he was on the
right side and did not believe that God had ever
had any sympathy with the grog shops.
He was not afraid to say that if he had his way
he would bury the traffic so deep that thou
so,,d earthquakes could not furrow the ground
deep enough to bring it up. The temperance
element is dominant in this city and every one
knows il, and ii the vote is wrong on Tuesday
nipbC Il will be because the temperance men
neglect their duty, and they alone will be to
blame. II is true that crog shops cannot be
closed while men are to be found to patronlze
them but if such is the case is 1t any reason that
we shall 20 without lawp Shall we have no law
10 control crime2 There will always be men
Coupd to keep liquor while patrons can be found
TO climb into attics and burrow into cellars after
IL. The testimony is as wide as it is
true that by the license law drunken
moss is on the increase What we want
ID law that shall be for the best interests
of the community. Some men ask for freedom
and do not consider that they have it, unless
the sale of beer is allowed. The laws are made
TO protect the poor man more than the capital
list. There are hundreds of men in this city who
are unable to control their appetite, and there
are hundreds of boys who must take their beer
daily, and the only protection tor them Is
through the law. II is the business of govern.
ments TO protect men from evil, and make the
streets so safe that they can walk through them
tthout temptation. We want votes, aud the
