Penny Whistle Call From Fort La
Fayette Democrats-Tho Aimless Fury
OF the Fossils.
Baltimore Is the bugbear Of the straight-out de-
mocracy. With an icy eye the unfortunate Bour-
bons OF the party OF the past regard the contem-
plated mixture of the clods OF clay with the burnt
bricks Of Andrew Jackson. The kind Of democracy
that played hide and seek between the bayonets OF
the Union while the war ragged beyond the P0-
tomac and the Ohio is remembered affec-
tionately by several bloodthrsty editors and
lawyers OF sanguinary instincts. But, as Gallileo
said In the teeth OF the Grand Inquisition, ut

who would not accept the Appomatt0x surrender,

not even Bob Tombs would care to recover, have
declared themselves. The following explains the

TELEGRAM 10 THE new YORK HERALD.
The following special despatch to the HERALD
has been received from our correspondent in
Geneva -
GENEVA, June 26, 1872.
General Sherman will remain few days
only in Geneva. From this city he will go to
Berne and thence to France.
INTERVIEW WITH DISTINGUISHED VETERAN.
Yesterday General Sherman visited General
Dufour, OF the residence Of the last named Off
Ger, near Geneva.
General Dufour was formerly Commander
in-Chief Of the Army Of the Republic Of
Switzerland. He is now eighty-fve years Of
age, and probably the oldest soldier of high
rank and fame in Europe He was created an
officer of the Legion of Honor by Napoleon l.
for gallant services performed in the field
during the imperial French wars and the sue
cessful accomplishment Of the great military
work Of fortifying the city Of Lyons against
the assaults Of the enemies of the conqueror
and of France
WHAT THE OLD SOLDIERS TALKED ABOUT.
Both veterans, the American General and
the ex-Commander Of the Army Of Switzer-
land, experienced great pleasure from their
personal meeting and the interview.
General Dufour inquired of General Sher.
man if he "came to Europe on account Of the
Alabama claims arbitration in Geneva
Sherman answered "No, he would leave
that to the lawyers. A difference existed on
the subject between the countries-the United
States and Great Britain-but the affair Of it's
settlement was not OF all in his province
General Dufour replied eff it were to
be settled England must pay, and probably
knows it.
GREAT AND LABoR1oUs WORK, BUT POOR PAY
General Sherman asked many questions con-
corning the progress and history Of the great
labors, literary and otherwise of General Du-
tours life, his map Of Switzerland being re-
garded as the second best map extant in the
world, the English ordnance map being the
first. The American commander was especi-
ally startled to hear, in reply, that during
thirty years in which General Dufour was en-
gagged in this vastly exhausting labor he
received salary Of four hundred francs a
year only.
LIEUTENANT GRANT s TOUR.
Lieutenant F. D. Grant, of the United States
Army, is at Zermatt in the canton of Valais,
situated nine miles northeast of Mount Cevrin.

luo IlEhALD correspondent at MatamOrOS
has forwarded us the following special
despatch:-
MATAMoRos, Mexico, June 26,
VIA BROWNSVILLE, Texas, June rs, 1872.
The situation is little changed since the
disastrous defeat of the government troops at
Monterey. The Juarista authorities circulate
a report to the effect that large government
force commanded by General Rocha had
arrived at Saltillo. They also spread the
rumor that the revoluionists have been de-
feated everywhere. But these reports are
untrue, being only designed to deceive and
satisfy the people. The Juarista authorities
raise such false hopes for the purpose Of
obtaining more money, as they have but o
small supply Of funds to carry on the war.
TREvrNo's MARCH ON sALTnIo.
The day after the battle of Monterey Gene
raj Treviho marched on Saltillo, with 1900
revolutonists but did not attack that city.
He returned to Monterey for the purpose of
recognizing his forces, many Of his men
having gone back to their homes after the
fight.
NEWS VIA CAMARGo.
The HERALD correspondent at Camargo has
sent DESPATCH dated Oath inst, stating that
Garcia Ayala, the Juarista Governor Of the
State of Nuevo Leon, is at Laredo, raising and
arming men for the service Of the government.
Several villages in Nuevo Leon have pro-
nounced against General Trevino, contributing
men to Ayala's forces.
General Cevallos is still at Camargo, await
ing the arrival of 400 government troops who
have recently reached Monterey and who have
been ordered to join his army.
cEvA1Ios TO MOVE ON MONTEREY.
General Cevallos has promised to move
toward Monterey tomorrow, to attack the
revolutionists who hold that city; but the full
filment of his promise is doubtful, as the revo-
lutionary General Quiroga is about six leagues
from Mier, with large force of cavalry, which
is able to arrest the advance of the govern
ment troops on Monterey.
TREvINo TO MARCH ON MATAMoRos.
The revolutionists report that General Ire
vito has divided his forces into two columns
which are moving on different roads towards
Matamoros and are to make simultaneous
attack on the city. If this report is true then
General Cevallos, with all his troops, will have
to return hither Immediately to prevent the in
vestment Of the city by the revolutionists. It
is expected that the telegraph line between
