All the European steamers on Saturday
went out heavily laden, and several of them
were compelled to refuse freight for want
Of room. The cargoes consisted OF horses,
cattle, grain, cheese, tobacco, bacon, butter,
fresh meat, flour, canned meats and vegeta-

is an encouraging business outlook. 1t
also shows that our heavy exports to Europe
for some time past are not altogether owing

Some time ago it wss reported
from the Rio Grande that 1000 or
5u00 Mexcisns were marching from
Monterey for the border. 1t was
also stated that the object of the
advance of SO large body of Mexi-
can soldiers was to oppose the
United States troops whenever
they crossed into Mexico in pursuit
Of thieves The War Department
thought that such was the object of
their movement until President
Dlaz informed this department that
instead of being sent with the in
tent to interfere with the punish
meut OF raiders. the troops were
to cooperate with the United States
forces in hunting them down. That
such is the case. is corroborated by
information received at the War
: apartment. 1t is also learned
that Gen. Trev no, the commander

Indians who have been long en-
gagged in raids into the United
States. Another order of Gen.
Trevino's is to prevent Mexicsns
crossing the Rio Grande and steal

lay their hands on. Gen. Trevino
has arrived Mt Pledras Negras,
where Gen. Ord has gone 10 pay
him visit. The two generals will
consult as to the best plan to be
pursued to establish ami maintain
peace and order, aud the best
methods of carrying out their
plans after they are adopted.
Considerable importance is at
tached to this new phase of the
Mexican muddle. 1t is thought to
be more than likely, with both
sides cooperating to put down
raids, not one side doing all the CO.
operating and the other saying il
is wiling to cooperate, which has
heretofore been the case. that the
end of the raids is drawing near.
The consultation between Gems.
Ord and Trevino and what follows
will show whether these expects-
tions are well founded.

New Orleans Democrat, Nov IL
What may have been our own
preconceptions in regard to Quar-
antines, or what conclusion was
reached after the thorough test
which has been given it in this
city, are matters there has been NO
occasion for us to discuss SO far.
We sustained the Board of Health

simply because the efficacy of quar-
sntine. as a precaution against vel
low fever, was disputed question
among scientists, and because, in
the case of this city, our medical
authorities had established it, and
were carefully watching it's results
with view to arriving at some
conclusion in regard to this same
disputed question. Believing that
it was question upon which there
were no data that justified any one.
not even a physician, in speaking
dogmaticalIy, we have put aside all
considerations affecting the mete-

menting on the qnarantines estab-

the right and privilege Of testing
the question, and we conceded the
same right to the towns in the in

We refer to these facts merely
because they appear to Justify the
complaint we ale at last forced to
make against the unreasonable ex-

bargoes against New Orleans. The
