INVASION.
An Independent COnfsdsracy to be Form

Discrepancy Explained.
GEN. AUGUR RETURNS IOTHE SOUTH.

1t is announced in Washington, by a
gentleman who claims to know whereof
he speaks, that the proposed invasion
Of Mexico by the expedition now organ
izing in Texas, under the command OF
General Dslrymple, has for its object
the wrestling OF the States Of Sonora,
chihuahua and Salenas from the Mexi.
can government and the conversion OF
them into an independent coniederacy.
He claims that the inhabitants OF the
northwestern States Of the Mexican Re-
public are almost completely isolated
from the remainder OF their country,
and would hail with joy any movement
having for its object the severance OF the
ties which bind them to a government
from which they derive no benefit, and
which, year by year, collects from them
large amounts Of money in the shape OF
taxes and duties. which go to enrich the
City OF Mexico and the neighboring
States, a thousand miles away. But
however much such an expedition
might benefit those Immediately con.
cerned, our government is bound to
prevent, by force Of arms, il necessary,
any invasion OF Mexican territory, and.
as has been the fate OF many similar
schemes which have had their origin in
the far Southwest, the "Army OF Occu-
patton" will probably melt away and
disappear without having accomplished
its purposes.

THE MEXICAN INVASION.

Purposes Of the Expedition - Three
Northern States to be Captured and
an Independent Confederacy to be
Formed
WASHINGTON, August l0.-A gentle.
man here who claims to be specially in.
formed with reference TO the proposed
invasion OF Mexico says that the pur-
pose Of the movement, which will 20 on
despite government interference, is a
fixed desire 10 wrench from the Mexican
government the States OF Sonora, Chi.
huahua and Salenas, in the nortnwes,
tern part OF Mexico, and toconvert them
into an independent coniederacy. The
benefciaries of the scheme, he says are
to be the inhabitants OF those States and
the mine owners OF Southern New
Mexico and Arizona. The inhabitants
themselves expect to be benefited by
collecting and retaining for themselves
the large revenues OF those ports which
now accrue entirely TO the benefit Of the
City Of Mexico. They say they haveno
interests whatever in common with the
other States Of the Republic, and do not
understand why it should be incumbent
upon them to make sacrifices for which
they get no return.
On the other hand, the miners long
for possession of the rich mountains,
whose proximity is a constant tempta.
ton. In addition to the mining excel.
lencies which the mountains of Chihua.
hua and Salenas have in common
with those Of Arizona and New Mexico,
they have the advantage of an abund-
ance of water. Consequently the miners
are very willing to give such substantial
encouragement as money and arms 10
the movement and to aid it otherwise
in any way that they may. The gentle
man saws that should the movement
succeed and confederscy be establish
ed the plan is to put ii at once upon Il
firm basis by issuing bonds with the
mines as security, and develop the
mines with the money so raised.

The Complaint CT the Scarcity Among
Delegates.
About ten o'clock last night the at.
'ntlon oi the reporter was attracted to
group at the McLure House, engaged
IN lively discussion. Upon approach
ing he found several OF the Wilson dele
yates from Clay district, Ohio county,
denouncing what they called "a steal OF
the visitors tickets 10 the convention" I"
II seems. according to the story told
there, that Messrs. George Feeney, Rob
ert simpson and other delegates had
been refused the privilege of distribut.
inc any visitors tickets to the
convention. They were telling of
II when the reporter drew near.
THE tickets for Clay district" said
Mr.. Simpson, "were given to Mr..
Okane, member OF the reception
committee. lie, instead of distributing
them. gave them all TO Tingle. who viii
give them to none but his friends. lie
intends dihn :the hall with his sclacquers
tO-norrow."
This was corroborated by others pres
ent and quite an indignant caucus was
held. Other delegates freely expressed
their opinions OF what they called this
high-handed piece OF business" which
were applauded roundly by the others.
Let Mr.. Tingle fill the hail." SAID a
city delegate, tits all the good it will do
him. tie can't fill the convention with
votes, whatever else he can no."
It'll be boomerang" vas the opin.
ion OF MIR. Simpson, DIR. Baird, Mr..
Caldwell, and the numerous others who
were present.
In the afternoon, Mr.. Feeney and sev.
eral Others approached Mr.. O'Kane on
the subject, at the Il. 4 o. depot. The
latter refused TO give any information,
saying they would get their delegate
tickets in the morning. Certain II is
th,re is great amount o! dissatis action
extant at the manner in which the re-
ceptiOn committee has seen fit to divide

THE HALL.

Who're ths Convention Will Assemble.
The result OF the labOrS OF the arrange
ment committee in decorating the Acad
emy OF Music is highly satisfactory.
The room was first thoroughly cleaned
and the chairs re-arranged in the be ST
order. The delegates will occupy the
seats on the lower floor, as close to the
stage as possible. The space remaining
in the rear and the gallery will be given
up TO spectators.
Between the chairs and the platform
are desks for the secretaries and the
journalistic fraternity. The Presidents s
desk is in the front centre Of the stage
and is draped with flags. Back OF it are
one hundred seats reserved for distin-
guished guests and ladies'.
The walls and windows, stage and
gallery border, are neatly aud tastefully
dressed with flags and streamers. TIE
curtain arch is also draped and the cur
tain itself raised and iestooned with
flags, draping from the centre, where is
a double picture Of Hancock and Eng
lish, draped with bunting. In the rear
oi the stage is the handsome oil painting
OF the chivalrous General, where it
shows TO fine advantage.
Altogether the hall presents a very
cool aud inviting appearance and its ar
raLscment and decoration are creditable
TO the gentlemen in charge.

At the time the NlCtiuX came in con-

was immediately communicated to the
lumber yard, and spread in every direc.
ton very rapidly. From The yard
the fire spreai to the vessels and not.
withstanulug the efforts made by the
several tugs which hastened To their as
sistanCe, SIX barges, one schooner and
one ship were soon in fumes. Over ten
acres OF fire is now raging wildly and
it appears beyond the control oi tis
tiremen. Several Of the burning vessels
were tOwed into the river and have
dri;ted with the tide towards Black.
wells Island enycloped in a sheet oi
flame. The fire is spreading in every
direction and no estimate can be formed
rs to its prot able extent. The scene
from the river is one oi indescribabr
grandeur, the flames rising in every
direction and devouring everything IN
their path.
The EHnag Pod says: The stock Of
export lumber oi tie company was
mostly Canada pine, and was valued al
100000. About half of it has already
been burned, but II is fully insured.
About sl01. 900 OF the insurance OF the
burned lumber had been placed within a
week. TIE rate Of insurance is only ]
per cent. TIE insurance is placed
chiefly in foreign companies. Charles
Watroui's stock of Canada pine lumber,
valued at $4,000, was burned; fully in.

$500 0OO.

with remarkable swiitncss. Ut ii
o'clOk a vide open space MALI around
the fire was cleared, and was drenched
with water. Streams were poured upon
the lumber bordering this open space.
and thus wide spread OF the fire Was
made less probable. The greatest dan,
