/ Special Telegraphic Correspondence of
the Courier-J Journal.
WAsHINGToNy July 21--The state
ment made by the San Antonio press,
just received here, that the Mexican
General Eseobedo was marching to the
Rio Grande with an entire division, is
looked upon in military circles here as
very important. Such movement in
so large body of troops it Is natural
to suppose can not be with peaceful
intent. The Mexicans have determiu-
ed to retaliate for the incursion in their
territory. They will give the very
opportunity which our annexationists
have been SO anxiously awaiting; for
nothing would delight Secretary Bel
knsp and the President more than an
attack by the Mexicans on our forces.
That would be the signal for an ad
vance along the whole line. Rumors
were current to night that's heavy bat
tie had already been fought between
Maekenzie's forces and the Mexieans,
and that Mackenzie bad been killed.
These rumors, were not, however. cred
tied by the War Department officials.
II is thought, however, by them that
stirring intelligence from the Mexican
border may now be looked for at
almost any time.
LATER.
WASHINGTON. July 22.-Up to
late hour TO night the War Department
had received no Intelligence confrma-
aary of the reported fight on the Mex
Can border. aud still appears to dis$.
credit it. A prominent staff officer,
however, said he earnestly hoped that
it was true. for in that case there would
be fun. General Sherman, who is ut
terly opposed to the Mexican annexa-
ton schemes of President Grant aud
Secretary Belknap, says that he sees
ne reason for belief that any collision
had occurred. But it is very evident
that he has not been let into a knowl-
edge of Belknap's plans. When Mae
kenzies incursiou across the Rio
Grande took place, the first intelligence
the public had of it was through pri-
vate sources; aud Gen. Sherman re-
ceived no official intelligence on the
subject until several days afterwards I
All this time, however, it is shrewdB 4
suspected that Mr.. Belknap knew ef>
actly what had been done. The gensr-
al belief here is that Belkuaps inten-
ton all along has been to force Mexico /
into violent measures Ii may be that I
the reported engagement was with lu-
dams and not with Mexicans, butthose /

A Future for Our Andy.

An enthusiastic admirer of Andy
johnson writes to the Cincinnati Com
saersiaL suggesting that. as the ex-
President has lost $50, 900 by the fail
ure OF Jay Cookies bank. IN Washing
ton, the United safes make up q purse
of one hundred tliousand dollars for
him. The writer generously offers TO
head the list with so. If Andy has
really lost this money, and is in cOnse-
auent Strengthened circumstances, we
favor tie idea but there ought to be a
condition attached that he should for
ever keep out Of politics so long as we
both shall live: There is no reason why
Mr. Johnson or any other eX-President
should he supported or enriched at the
public expense, save that man who
has occupied the highest place is natur-
ally regarded as one who is through
with worldly ambitions, and cannot
engage in the chickering's of politics
or the strifes of business without low
eriHg his own dignity and injaring the
pride of the people.
Mr. johnson does not appear 10 have
any such scruples. He is as keen for
office as ever. and would quickly ae-
cept any place, from alderman in bis
native village up to the presidency. If
he does not object to taking part again
in the battle of life, there is no occasion
for assisting him, for he is Is able to
take. care of himself as any one else.
But If he desires TO throw ambition
to the dogs and retire forever from the
wicked world, the jibes Will cease,
and his old age be made comfortable.
We would not object even TO his max
ing one last swing around the circle,
and handing out fresh doses of the con-
stituiign and the flag: but let the bills
announce this. as :. positively the last
appearance. --s-
If he viii not do SO, however, and is
determined to keep up his efforts to re-
turn to public place, we can suggest
plan that may win. The masses like a
man with a trade. Andy has got one.
1t would be a novel sight, and one that
could not fail to inspire enthusiasm, to
see the tailor of Greenyilie sitting down
cast on his shop-board, wearing his
ankle-ioints to horn, and, like some
fakir, drawing down heavens blessing
on a world that scoffed at him. The.
people would regard him with favor, for
industry, even in the ninth part of a
man. is not without its reward. They
would say to him. ''Look UP, thou
much injured one, with a kindling eye
and prophetic bodings of a nobler and
better portion. Mankind must pay its
accumulated debt Thou shalt no longer
remain fraction, but become not an in
teger only, but square and a cube.
Let our Andy have faith that, in ease
he adopts this suggestion, he viii be
called from his retirement as other
statesmen have been called before him.
AS the Romans babe Cincinnatus come
forth from his plow-field, SO the Ameri-
can people will bid him unfold his legs,
throw aside the goose, and come down
from his bench. Chicago Inter Ocean.
