Eds Crescent: The steamer Indianola took Us all
by surprise this morning as she came into port We
had looked for her some time but her delay in making
this place had created the impression that she did not
intend to come here at all. At last however she is
here, and must say her running qualities and trim
look are very much in her favor with u.s. The delay
in making this point was occasioned by her touching
at Vera Cruz and remaining there sometime.


The Tennessee was still laying at Vera Cruz when
the Indianola left, and will not get away probably
until the 2ith or 25th she is detained in expecta
tion OF the arrival of large amount of money at Vera
Cruz from the INTERIOR but which present detained
at Jalapa by Gen. Robles. wrote you before that


large conducta of SPECIE valued at 81 500 900, had
been allowed to leave the city of Mexico on the pay.
ment Of per cent duty to the Mramon faction. A
proper guard conducted it as far as Jaapa where Gen.
Robes commands, and it was looked for in Vera
Cruz on the 18th. However, it was delayed 80 long
that at last courier was sent out to look after IT,
and the news resulted that Gen. Robles had detained
1t. The explanation given is, that when Miramon
allowed the money to leave the capital he did 80 with
the guarantee that he would protect it as far as
Jalapa, beyond which place, it must be trusted to
chance The conducta arrived at Jalapa and was al
lowed to pass as far as Cerro Gordo when an armed
force, sent by Robes came after and captured on
the ground that it was past the line of Miriam ms
guarantee The probability is therefore, that it will
have to pay another tariff before is allowed to pro-
coed, and the chances not certain that will not
be coniscated and appropriated by the Robes crowd
Is this not sweet country when the Government
itself turns highway robber?


| The merchants of Vera Cruz were in counsel at
the time of the Indianolas departure, and suppose
any quantity protests will be published against the
outrage; but what will all these papers do to save
the credit of merchants whose money is thus robbed
from them? The governments of the civilized world
have solemn duty to perform in this particular
but more particularly does this responsibility rest
upon us, for European nations will not interfere
80 long as we keep talking about our Monro
doctrine, which is but a shield for the petty
thieves around u.s. We do not interfere oursely es.
and we threaten respectable nations that would do
SO, thus standing kind of protecting power be-
tween justice and the verest criminals outside of
India.


MIR. McLane has addressed strong remonstrance
to Senior Bonella, Secretary of Foreign Affairs under
Mramon, against the cruel assassinations at Tacu i.
baya, in which he states that the authors of these
atrocities will be held responsible through the Mex
can Government


President Juarez and his cabinet are n consulta.
ton all the time as to the proper to be pursued
in the next campaign, and by private letters learn
that the movement against the city of Mexico will
be commenced in about two months. Degoado is
at Vera Cruz, where hope he will do more good as
a counsellor than he did as soldier.


| Both of the hostile armies are now at Guanauato
where they are playing kind of " hide and seek -
game, much to the annoyance Of all of us outsiders,

it will. The American sentiment down here, is be-
| coming rampant. for we have been humbugged both
| by the failure of Mexican promises and America n
duties In the first place, we all had fair under.
standing that if our Government once recognized the
Juarez party, the war would end this promise has
failed and risks like it had chance of realization
Then, in the second place, it understood that if
Juarez did not succeed and rights were outraged
any further, Uncle Sam would slip in and settle the
matter. Now, this too has caved in y for we are
less protected than Ia fact, we think Mexico
"bag of wind" and she thinks we are one-so there
| is no very great loss in opinion, after all.


Mr.. McLane writes to the Consul at this place that
he will visit Mnatitlan probably in the latter part of
this month";


There are several distinguished Mexicaus on the
lndianoIa, who are "leaying their country for its
good" but have been unable to learn their names
Probably you would not know them if did, as there
are SO many Presidents, Generals Secretaries ct i'd
omne genus in this poor man.bedevilled country. 1t
is pity there are SO many, but fear the list is on
the increase, and will be until after the next Pres
idential election in the United States when it is to
| be hoped we shall have man at the head of our
affairs who will have say in the further manufact.

/ regret to inform you of the death of Charles B.
Muzzy, well known as telegraph operator in you r
city, but lately employed here as an artist to draft
designs Of such places of note on the Isthmus as
merted publication in the works of the company or
in the periodicals of the day. Mr.. Muzzy was whole.
souled, genial and most apprecable gentleman, and
his sudden death will add pang of sorrow to man
heart. He was bathing, at the time Of his DEATH in
the harbor of Juatulco, on the Pacific when all of
sudden he disappeared but whether he was seized by
q shark or sank from the effects of cramp was not
ascertained. Mr. Murphy was bathing at the same
time and made every exertion to recover the body,
but without success.


Understand that that the agents of the Tehuante-
pee Company are dscharging the most of the en-
ployes of the company along the line of the route
and that at present nobody will be retained in til e
service but such as absolutely necessary to the
transportation of the mails and passengers.
