In giving the account of the riots in
last week's paper we neglected to in-
clude those in New Orleans and
Charleston, both on the 4ar question,
and it) the former occasioned mostly
on the levee ón account of steamboat
loading and unloading being let otafc
mainly by contract to freed men, who
hired other freedmeu to do the work
and cheated them, against which and
for higher wages they struck. It was
¿rat down without much trouble, Lit-
tle or no violence was attempted, more
than one policeman had to run for his
life,and taking refuge on a steamboat
they threatened to burn it if be was
not brought forth, but through the aid
of another policeman,who was knocked
down ip the effort, he made his escape.
Serious work might have been done
if they had not happened to go out Ju-
lia street toward the New Caqal,
where they meditated mischief,but in
their route Gen. Mower came .out of
his residence and ¡exhorted them to
quiet and disburse, hut not heeding,
a military force close at hand was
called into requisition, and heading
them off and faced towards them tliey
were ordered to separate and go quiet
ly home or the consequences fall upon
diem, which they did without hesita-
tion and in double-quick time, A
meeting was addressed by Wilson at
ght. at which though they were
advised to be good, orderly citizens,
and not to force themselves into pri-
vate parlors tp equalize with whites,
socially, as a man's parlor was his
own private property, and had a right
to associate with, invite and exclude
whom he-- pleased i that society was
formed on this basis and regulated it-
self, without the interference of law,
according to each person's notions,
likos or dislikes, nevertheless a crowd
of negroes attacked the St. Charles
streetcar about midnight and forcibly
ejected the white occupants there-
true manly independence can always
buy a position iuthe front rank in the
distribution of reward and merit. Let
us then go to work with a will and
with a determination to surmount all.
.opposing obstacles, conquer a place in
íÍ3tory that shall be tbo envy and ad-
miration of the world and all succeed-
♦
ing ages. Let us be up and doing.
Mexican News,
A meeting had previously been
held at which Kelley had spoken,and
similar car scenes bad occurred, pro
babfy through tbe influence exerted
over the minds of tbe negroes and
brought about by the doctrines enun-
ciated at said meeting, which caused
a military order to be issued abolish-
ing the stac cars set aside for them,
yet this did not satisfy them, which
shows what the doctrines- and. teach-
ings of bad and desiguing men have
done to inflame tbe- otherwise harm'
less, innocent and law-abiding coloret
man and cause him to commit deeds
that shall light a spark to kindle and
biuaand bring upon Ins devoted heat
tbe- pent-up wrath and vengeance of a
long outraged and suffering people,
and only end in the inevitable destruc-
tion and extermination of the negro,.
Tbe-merits of the Charleston affair
arc pretty much the same as this ant
on the car question, but as it is. some
weeks ago since the occurrences, am
the public have already been made
aware of thefe details, it is entirely un-
necessary and superfluous to, refer to
here or mention them in this connec-
tion further than to present a full re-
cord of the main features cropping out
from beneath the turpid cesspool of
party rancor and the radical spirit of
hate that is being engendered by dem-
agogues and false philanthropists, in
eluding both North and South aud
embracing all pasties alike, seeking to
foment excitement anil cause- the po-
lititical cauldron to rise to boiling heat,
in the hope that, taking advantage oi
the momenl. they will be able to make
capital and reap*emoluments, or raise
themselves to political preferment in
the race-for office through the troubles
and on. tho ruins of the country.
Shame on all of them. We are hearti
ly tired of politics, aud let us have no
more! Let the people frown them
down, by meeting in theit might and
denouncing them! And then, a'nd not
till then, will there be peace and quiet
in the land. Let th*> people go earn-
est^ to work to, repair the savages of
war,, bp sewing and working their
fields, or at whatever work they have
in hand, and to do and do it with an
energy and perseverance that shall
command success and defy order 13

RICHARD KOlili,
J. B. GRAY.
We givti below a batch of con-
tradictory news and reports in the
various accounts gathered from the
atest intelligence from that land of
'God and Liberty,* and our readers
can believe all or as much as they
doase, taken withji grain of allow-
ance, or a little salt, which would an-
swer as well, or perhaps better, as it
would come as near digesting that as
any other, puzzling a Philadelphia
awyer to make anything out of it.
Enough is however gathered to enable
ope to judge that Maximilian is in a
precarious situation aud that the Em-
pire,if not gone up ere this, is doomed
to a mere question of time. Though
the reports state that Maximilian and
the other leaders will be &hot, if ,cap"
tured, we are inclined to think Juarez
and his government will-save them if
they can,or at least Maximilian,or use
every effort to that end,for they would
scarcely pursue a course in th6 very
moment of success that must inevita-
bly result in bringing upon them tbe
indignation and retribution of those
foreign powers that placed and upheld
him there, either by force of arms or
public opinion

ties. Trade, business and travel are

AVOSflBR ACCOUNT.
U. S* Minister Campbell's messen-
ger saya Juarez puts his force at 35,-
000, with reinforcements constantly
arrriving, 8000 going forward the last
weekxwell armed,. Fueling very bittei
against Maximilian and the Mexican
chieftains tit his army,, and Juarez
would not he able to save then* if be
desired should they foil into.his hands.

Liberals to intercede for defenders of

ANOTHER STIJ.Lu.
Reports- at Vera Cruz that Liberals
repulsed at Quretaro, and driven to-
wards San Louis by Miramon, who
sent 3000 men to relieve Mexico and
his death denied Maximilian's agont

AND- YET ANOTHKIU
The Havana Diaro. has a letter that
Maximilian arrived in Mexico with
8000 men. Diaz had 70 pieces ar-

him a Ü his Generals ordered to be | NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
shot, but the account says it is nil- •
likelyTie did so. Though the cap-*
ture is coufirmed by a later statement
of |n officer of Maximilian who ba%ar-
rived at Matamoras, claiming to have
been taBeirprisoner at the same time;
that Maximilian and several of the
leaders were ordered to t e shot, and
during tbe excitement he made his
escape, but fearing, as be said, a de-
mand would be made on our authori-
ties for him snd that he would be
given up, lie made tracks immediate-
ly for Brazos'Santiago, and that our
consul at Monterey also confirms it,
—notwithstanding all these seeming
proofs of the correctness qf the re-
ports, it is ncverthless not believed iu
Brownsville, and an Imperial sheet.
El Mexicano, declares the capture of
Queretaro false and that the Liberal
army is routed; which latter state-
mout, however, is only believed by a
few Imperial fanatics, though all lm.
perialists are firm in the conviction
the taking ot Queretaro is a very sell.
We give the news'just as we find it,
leaving all to be . governed by their
belief and then; own judge of tbe
whole matter.
The answer of Juarez's Minister to
ours, when the latter sent the mes-
sage not to molest the Archduke,
seem hi infer that if caught Maximil-
ian will be treated according to tbe
decree of Juarez, though it is not
likely he will everjreach^hia country
alive.
Our Consul at Monterey says the
Liberal army is already on its way to
the Capital and that Commodore S.
D. Payou of the Mexican Navy had
been ordered by Berrizabel to com-
mand an expedition ^to Vera Cray,
Carmon and Campeache to terminate
the straggle ; Miramon was made a
prisoner by Cortina a short distance
off Queretaro.
The Liberals took possession of
Brazos Santiago and tbe steamer Gen.
Sheridan for naval purposes, May
24th.
Alverado wonld be opened during
the time Vera Cruz would bo closed.
and all other military ordevsiand then
need be then no fears that these or-
ders will bear weightijy atuL too heavi-
ly upon them, for with ani hyiwsttious
Uve oí workers to increase ouc sub-
ataño and cawe tine land to laagh
wWk fatness, th^ country to grow and
prosper in population aud works, of in-
ternal improvements, aud the whole
internal1 resouroes brought out and
made to multiply many fold and con-
sequent riches,we will be in a p isition
to demand and dictate our own teems
and conditions of all outside harbarians
and influences, with an independence
and feeling that could well brook the
contempt* wrath and hatred our ene-
mies pretend and hare for us, while
ian's arrival Diaz routed, losing artil-
lery and 1500 prisoners,'who enterd
Imperial ranks with enthusiasm; Al-
verez, owing to execution of Imperial-
ists at Pueblo, abandoned Diaz.
and we have another.
Liberals sent to Tampico for rein-
forcements;. Maximilian has more re-
sources than generally known aud is
playing big game;- Liberals exagerate.
... latest.
28th April Mexico defended by
S000; Diaz in Guadaloupe with 4000
and 6000 militia; Imperials at Qnesor
taro reported hastening to the" capital
to assist in raising siege; siege of Vera
Cruz continc:d,but besiegers exhaust-
ed and believe would soon retire.
LATER. STILL.
20,000' Liberals- surround Mexico,
;and bombarding;- garrison 8000; Már-
quez saya will resist to the death,and
is impressing water earners; no officer
receives quarter from Liberals; Mira-

Ranchero doubts not but Maximil-

was riuging of bells, a frolic and feast
in Matamoros over fall of Queretaro.
TlieNewshas additional letters giv-
ing all. the reports to May 14th from
Queretaro, which has now lost its in-
terest, consisting chiefly of official ac-
counts of events in the siege, by Esco-
bedo in which he admits in one as-
sault the loss of CoL Carrillo, shot
while tearing tbe meeal from a French
officer, and that Imperialists gained
decided advantages iu a set-to on tbe
27th ult. but in the end suffered heavy
defeat, with a loss fo him of 90 men
—Imperial loss not stated.
At latest detes Diaz within 3 squares
tho centre of Mexico. Maximilian, had
changed his entire cabinet.
3000 prisoners takenat Pueble, the
19th uli, with three Generals, the lat-
ter immediately shot.
On the 3d at Queretaro a battle oc-
curred in which both parties claim a
victoryv as usual.
At a still later date Diaz had opened
30 pieees of artillery on Mexico„oecu-
pyavg tbe entire capital, with the ex-
ception of Palaces, Cathedral and Ci-
tadel^Imperials holding these aud de-
fending them with desperation.
Previous to capture of Queretaro
many| perished from hunger. The
Emperor was willing to surrender,but
his Generals opposed it, well knowing
they would receive no quarter.
We have given enough news for
once, at least, from Mexico, and it
may be the last of a sanguinary order
of war for some time to come in that,
d'elec table liand of 'God and Liberty' it
U should all tura out to be true, as we

IT is proposed to publish, under
above title,
the
a periodical Review,
devoted to the interests of Texas.
A> a preliminary step in this undertak-
ing, it is desired to ascertain whether a
sufficient patronage will justify the expen-
ses incident to. the publication of the con-
templated work.
The Review will contain a Literary
Department, for which e mtributions
from talcu'ed writers in the State will be
obtained. It wili.tüsoembraco^ranslations
from the gems of; foreign literature.
The Historical Department will
present correct records of tbe several
Texas Regiments organised during tbe late
wkí ; sketches of tbe history of the Stite,
nnd int idents of war and border life, from
the earliest settlement to the present time.
The written records of our army having to
a great extent been destroyed, live now iu
n an's memory, and would ultimately be
lost if a work like the Review, proposed
to be published shall not perpetaale them.
For this purgóse, all persons- feeling an
interest in tfe. history ot the military or-
ganizations to which they belonged, are
requested to send to Gen. X, B. lAr.it ay,
at Houston, a statement of such incidents
connected with them, whether historical
or humorous, as they may deem deserving
of publication, including deeds of iiidirid
ual gallantry and dgTotion that should be
handed down to posterity
