ILL-FATED MEXICO.
OEertures Of Peace Offered the ReVOlu-
tiOnists-ExtensiVe RObberies-Gen-
eral Decentralization.

MATAMOROs, June lS.-It is reported
on credible authority that Generals
TreyinO and QuirOga, finding themselves
unable to offer any considerable resist
ance to the government forces cOncen-
trating on Monterey, and pOweTless to
hold any important point outside the
State of New Leon, have sent commits
sioners to the City of Mexico to arrange
terms of peace on a basis of their par
don and SUBSEQUENT submission to the
JuareZ government.
Yesterday evening a party of forty,
supposed to have been headed by the
bandit chief Portugal, appeared near
this city and robbed several persons and
committed two murders on the road,
within cannon shot of the Notifications.
The guns of the fort opened on them
without any other effect than cOmpell-
ing them to leave. The garrison being
without cavalry, the bandits escaped
without pursuit.
Yesterday pleasure-boat on the Rio
Grande, between this city and Browns
vile, containing Mr.. Chase, manager of
the telegraph in Brownsville, and Gerard
Mason and NoTte, was fired on by MeXi-
can sentinels on the bank of the river
and compelled to land and surrender
themselves. They were taken to the
military quarters, where they were de-
tanned for some time. This is the first
instance of the Mexican authorities ex-
ercising police surveillance over the river
under direction of martial law, and has
created considerable excitement, as it
was attended by a wanton disregard of
the lives of several American citizens,
firing on them when in pursuit of law
full object on the river, over which
Mexico has no right to exercise such au-
thOrity.

NARROW-GAUGE.
The Convention at st. LOuis-The Sub
ject Thoroughly Ventilated
A Favorable View.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.-The Narrow
Gauge Railroad Convention continued
Its session to-day, and still further dis
cussed, both in a general and specific
way, the merits of the narrow-gauge
and its eminent fitness for those sections
Of the country which are sparsely set
tied and least able to bear the expense
of broad-gauge roads. An immense
amount of information respecting rail-
roads generally has been brought out,
and great interest excited in regard to
the subject.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for Central Committee of thirteen, to
whom all applications for information
should be made, when statistics bearing
on the subject will be forwarded. Said
committee TO have authority to call the
narrOw-gauge advocates into convention
at any time they may think proper, and
TO take such action as they may deem
advisable to advance the general inter
ests of the narrow gauge movement.
Resolutions We're also adopted recon-
mending grand central narrow-gauge
line from tide water to the interior OF
the country TO give the narrow-gauge
roads now being constructed in the Mis-
sissippi valley continuous connection to
the seaboard, and cordially indorsing the
project known as the Washington, Gin
cinnad and st. Louis railroad, and
pledging said project all possible aid.
The committee appointed for the pur-
pose Of preparing report ON the subject
of narrow-g gauge roads having not quite
completed their labors, the report was
not given to the press. The convention
adjourned sine die this evening.

LOGAN INTERVIEWED.
He Asserts for the Man that Builds his
Bridge-Claims Illinois for Grant
by Fifty Thousand Majority.

CHICAGO, June 20.-The Times this
morning publishes an interview with
Senator Logan, at his home in this city,
with regard to his views on the present po-
litical situation. In answer to a question
of the reporter as to whether he had not
been for long time favOrably disposed
toward the Liberal movement, the Gen
eral gave an emphatic reply in the neg
ative, adding that he could not imagine
how such an impression got abroad
that he had never said one word in IA
vOr of that movement, and never, for a
moment, entertained a notion of join
ing it. In reply to the question, if he
was not opposed TO Grant, said he had
sometimes criticised him, just as he
would any man with whom he differed.
He always intended to vote for the Phil
adeiphia nominee, and should do so
now, though, perhaps, some other man
would have suited him as well. He
thought Grant could be reelected by a
larger majority than he received before,
and that Illinois would give fifty thou
sand majority for him; asserting in this
connection, that at least One-half Of the
Democrats in Southern Illinois will vote
for him. Logan also declared his inten-
ton to take as active part in the cam
paign as his health will permit.

ARKANSAS.
John d. Adams for Governor.


LITTLE Rock, June L, 1872.
EDITORS APPEAL-A big convention
is TO meet here on the nineteenth in
slant TO consider the situation pOliti-
cally. 1t viii be big indeed, in numbers,
in the matters to be brought before il,
and in its results. / make no prediction
rs 10 its action, but if candidates are
nominated, wish TO suggest the name
Of John ID. Adams as the man for Gov
ernor. Without any effort at laudation,
Mr.. Adams possesses fine executive
abilities, and would make US Just, true
and accomplished Governor. To speak
of him to Arkansas people is needless,
and the medium through the APPEAL
is sought because the central organ of
this State Of his party is owned by Mr..
Adams, and to publish this through
that source would be, in appearance,
self fiattery. Besides, Mr.. Adams is
well known to most of the readers of the
APPEAL, and all of them would feel
comfortable if Mr.. Adams was Governor
Of Arkansas. The Democratic Con-
servative party can do no better than
10 have Mr.. Adams for Governor, and
let it be done. 1t is true the Gazette
here has announced that, under no cir
Cumstances, will Mr.. Adams become a
candidate for Governor; but then, in
times like these, no man has the right
To say my people shall not use me to re-
EeUc them, and Mr.. Adams will not say
he will not yield. He must relieve US.
Yours, truly,
NEARLY FORTY YEARS IN ARKANSAS.

teenth instant, an enthusiastic and har-
mOniOus convention was held at this
place, appointing Greeley delegates to
Jackson, Mississippi, to the State Con-
ventiOn to be held there on the twenty
sixth instant, and urging said State
Convention to send delegates to the Bal
timOre Convention, on the ninth Of

Greeley and Grant have an open and
fair field. Delegates were also appointed
to select for Congress a Greeley ticket to
run the race in lthe First Congressional
District, composed Of the State Execu-
tive Committee of Mississippi. The
course of the APPEAL, Clarion and all
such papers, were enthusiastically in-
dorsed. Much good feeling prevails and
great unanimity for Greeley and Brown.
Ii is Of great importance to select the
very best, strongest, soundest and wisest
men for all political positions. l am
sorry that Dan. Voorhees,, A. II. Ste
phens and such talent as they have
should be wasted and spent upon the
ear and air, TO have no good effect.
