refused to revesl the hiding-place of their treasures'.
Men have arrived in this place vrho announce them-
Belves utteriy ruined and beggard by this gigantic
robbery. The Mexican gunboat Antonio* lying at
anchor, was charged upon by the -robbers; but by a
cottragooua and well-directed Are she quickly repulsed
them, killing seventeen of the negrofca They then
brought a piece of artillery to bear on her, and one
shot took effect between wind and water. The gun
boat then got up sieam and left for Matamoras, where
she arrived aafely on Saturday last. Two Imperial
soldiers—one a Frenchman and the other an Austrian—
were killed on the Antonio^ and their remains were in
terred with great pomp in Matamoros on Sunday.
Ab soon as the intelligence of the raid by United
States soldiers reached this place, the men recruited
under the .auspices of ‘‘Major-General R. Clay Craw
ford ” were instantly hurried from their camp here to
thesceueof action—the “Major-General" himself also
going. On arriving at Clarksville they crossed over
and took possession of the already scared and sub
dued town of Bagdad, to gather up the debris left by
the first plunderers.
When the fecta were made known to Gen. Weitzel
he at once hastened to Clarksville, and ordered a regi
ment of United States troops over to Bagdad to pre
serve order, and no doubt also .to protect American
life and property. Sd matters stand at present. I for
bear comment, confining myself strictly to facts as
they are known here.
Bagdad is of little consequence except as a strategic
>oint in a new siege of Matamoros. Of coarse, all the
jberal leaders hurried to this scene of a. nefarious
triumph, won by the disorderly troops of a neighbor
ing power with which the Mexican nation fa at peace:'
The project of an immediate onward movement on
Matamoros was the absorbing topic. Dissensions,
however, arose among the leaders. "Major General
B. Clay Crawford," by virtue of brass and a "commis
sion" from Ortega, late recruiting and financial agent
of the Juarez party in New York, claimed the right to
command. This was denied by Major General Mari
ano Escobedo, who holds a lawful commission from
Don Benito Juarez, late President of the Bepublic. Bo
they split. Bat our filibuster "Major General" waa
too well posted in his favorite game of “bluff " to give
it up so, John Brown. He has formed an alliance
with the bandit "Brigadier General" Joan Nepomu-
ceno Cortinas, who has been successively outlawed by
every party in Mexico. These worthies, with a hand
ful of desperate followers, whose only business for
years has been robbery and murder, are determined
to capture Matamoros on their own hook and appro
priate all the spoils to themselves. What the result
will be time alone can show.
European News.
The German steamship Bremen, which touched at
Southampton on January 31, arrived at New York on
the 15th, bringing news from Europe three days later-
In consequence of the publication in America of the
documents relative to Mexico, the French Govern
ment had resolved to give to the world their share of
the correspondence, and the despatches sent by Druyn
de Lhuys, the. French Foreign Secretary, to M, Mont-
holon, French Embassador at Washington, had been
laid before the Corps Legislatif. M. Druyn de Lhuys
speaks out his mind with the greatest frankness, and
in one despatch protests against “interpellations ex
pressed in a threatening tone and founded on equivo
cal documents." It is noticeable that in a despatch
dated the 9th of January last, M. de Lhuys informs M.
Montholon in almost the exact words used thirteen
days later by Napoleon in his speech from the throne,
that his Imperial Majesty was "making arrangements
with the Emperor Maximilian for ths withdrawal of
the French troops."
Paris correspondence states that's feeling of hostili
ty to the United States prevailed in that city.
The Spanish government remained bent on war to
the knife with Chili, and the Ministers were said to
have issued instructions of the-most sanguinary char
acter to Admiral Bareja’s successor. Some idea, how
ever, of the serious nature of the conflict they had en
tered upon began to impress itself on the Spanish
people. Five Chilian privateers, all of them iron
clads, were reported to be pr6ying,on Spanish com
merce, and it was regarded as a foregone conclusion
that Peru and the other South American republics
would make common cause with Chili against Spain.
Important from Mexico.
Important news from Mexico is brought by the
steamer Corsica, which arrived on the 16th from Ha
vana. There was great activity in French military af
fairs at Vera Cruz, but not of a character to indicate an
early evacuation of the country by the Europeans.
French troops in large numbers were arriving at Vera
Cruz from the interior and embarking ou transports.
They were not, however, bound for France, but, it
was understood, for the defence of Tampico, which
was seriously threatened by the Eepublicans, and it
was even intimated that they were intended for fron
tier service against both tho Bepubhcans and the
United States. There was a rumor that the Imperial
ists had already been compelled to surrender Tampico,
though an account of a severe defeat of the Bepubli-
cans in the vicinity of that city comes to us by way of
New Orleans. Large quantities of military stores
were still arriving at Vera Cruz from Fiance, and be
ing sent into the interior. An Imperial train, Valued
at six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, waa recently
captured by the Bepublicans.
The report of the commission appointed by General
Weitzel to investigate the Bagdad affair, together with
some of the accompanying letters, is furnished by our
Brownsville correspondent. It is conclusively shown,
that no United States army officers were connected
with the raid, and General B. Clay Crawford is charged
with being its instigator and director. The testimony
taken by the commission waa very extensive and volu
minous, and they have spared no pains to develope all
the facts. The conclusion at which they arrive, how-
^ver, ia summed up very briefly.
IN GENERAL..
—There has been no fatal case of cholera in Paris
since the 14th of January. The epidemic made its
first appearance on the 15th of September, 1866, and
in the course of the four intervening months carried
off 6,388 persons. The greatest mortality on any one
day was on. the 14th of October, when 230 deaths were
recorded.
There is a new '“burning well” in the oil regions
on the Lake Arm, near Pithole City. It is proposed
to extend the tubing to the top of the derrick, so that
the flame may illuminate the surrounding counfry-
It is currently reported in diplomatic circles in
Washington that the wife of the Italian Minister has

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New York, Feb. 15; 1866.
Bancroft's oration
ia generally considered here as a very poor thing in
deed—below mediocrity—and had it been delivered
by a Sophomore in a college debating society wonid be
simply passed over as a puerile attempt to display a
smattering upon historial subjects. Many people,
however, charitably give him the credit of not being
so much to blame as those who proffered"the occasion
to one who is nothing but a historian. Never eould
the adage that "comparisons are odious” be more ap
plicable than to the long string of words yclept a
"funeral oration,” by this distinguished lilerateur.
WADING,
as a fine art, has been considerably studied in this city
during the past week. It certainly requires not a lit
tle scientific manueuveriug, nice disposition of the
pedal extremities, added to an equipoise and balancing
power excelled only by the glacier-skipping herds of
mountainous Switzerland, to enable our. lady friends
Buccessfljly to cross Broadway after a mow-storm and
succeeding thaw, gaits contamination by the foulest
of oil foul liquified street mild that is manufactured on
this continent. Our country girls think naught of
coolly divesting themselves of shoes and stockings,
raising their skirts, and wading a shallow brook in
summer; but it is far different on Broadway, with six
inches of the blackest pool ever conceived of, lairing
between the curbstones, a perfect modern realization
of a pestiferous Styx, with no accommodating Charon

This is the title now generally applied by the com

not able to pay their weekly grocery bills, but now
swell with suddenly acquired wealth. Some of the

and contractors almost pass belief. These do not
come from the opposition press by any means, but
are to be found in such papers as the New York Times.

INVESTIGATION OF FRAUDS.
“Tlie proposition to investigate ^duds by officials in
the department of the Gulf, has caused great talk and
given publicity to many stories of malfeasances and
swindles in other districts of country. There is 41O
doubt bpt that if Congress would appoint an able,
fearless and impartial committee, the public would be
astounded with the discoveries which would result.
It is alleged that the frauds iu clothing, tent, hat and
shoe contracts in Philadelphia, Cincinnarti and New
York have been enormous, the former city enjoying a
bad pre-eniinence in this respect. A contractor who
appeared recently at a party here, iu the glory of lull
evening costume, is said to have been guilty of greater
and more heartless swindles on the soldiers than any
one niau beside, and j et has never been annoyed by
even an arrest. A well-known Kentuckian, now in the
employ of the Treasury Department in a Southern
State, openly stated in our hearing that he had been
forced to pay $70,000 to a Provost Marshal before he
could get a steamboat-load of cotton released from his
clutches, although he held permits from the late Secre
tary of the Treasury and President Lincoln. Ho not
only offered *to appear and make oath to tho fact, but
to contribute several thousand dollars towards the ex
penses of a commission, if the President would send
one there, to investigate. The fact is, that sooner or
later tnis record of crime must be ventilated, and the
member of Congress who will start the thing will gain
the respect of the people.
AN EXTEMPORANEOUS TRIP,
Fog and ice, ! both of unusual density, have pre
vailed for a week, more; or less, and have lent a few
undesirable accompaniments to uavigation.' Ifrrjfutia,
a Hoboken ferry boat, left its slip at 7 p. m. of Satur
day last, having ou board one thousand souls, most of
them passengers by the Morris and Essex Railroad,
destined to their houses in the suburbs. The elements
above named, if they may be so called, were superla
tively'uuprbpitimis. The boat became entangled in
the ice, and having broken her paddles in her efforts
to disengage herself, was left at the mercy of the tide.
The news of this disagreeable state of things spread
like wildfire , through the cabins, and immediately
there was worked up that awfully thrilling scene that
the presence of immediate and horrible death only can
furnish. The angry shouts of anxious men, mingled
with the frantic screams of frightened women,
and down floated tlie ten hundred! The deep
toned ding-dong of fog bells clashed unmusically with
the stentorian screech of steam whittles, and down
floated the ten hundred. Night grew on apace; dan
gers thickened and multiplied; yet down, down floated
the doomed craft with the “sea of ice” through the
gloomy fog and the murky darkness.. The gate of the
^ea vras near at hand; relief must come speedily or it
would be too late. Innumerable petitions tp the cap
tain were hastily drawn, and innumerable words of
con sedation and comfort returned- Impromptu meet
ings were called; prayers offered; wills drawn; reso
lutions passed; farewells token. Cut hark! a great
crash, and the good ship struck—-not a poetic rock,
kind reader, but the plain, unvarnished Jersey Flats,
A moment later a gentle breeze cleft the mist, and an
hour later the uufortuate ten hundred, with their bas
kets and bundle® of Saturday night goodies, were set
down at Hoboken at a quarter .before three on Sunday
morning. Alp^t' of them took the next boat back to
the city for hotel accommodations.
GREAT CAPTURE BY DETECTIVES.
Full details of the modus operandi of detectives iu
securing the arrest of the robbers of the Concord Bank
and their plunder, are published here this morning.
It appears that after many unsuccessful efforts on the
part of Messrs. Heath, Jones and Hunt, Boston detec
tives, which included trips to Philadelphia and other
places, in which efforts they were aided J>y New York
detectives, thej’ finally discovered some of the missing
bonds on a man in this city, who was willing to sell
them. Through his confession and information, on
January *22d Detectives Hunt, Dunn, and some New
York detectives, proceeded to Caihden, New Jersey,
opposite Philadelphi^.ihenee-durmg the- ffight nine
teen miles down tli^ shore of the Delaware to a cottage
near the village of Wllfiboro, t^ e chief robber,
a notorious counterfeiter, named Langdon W. Moore,
alias Charley Adams, resided, who was taken to New
York and committed on charge of burglary. Nothing
was found on Moore. The house was thoroughly
searched, curtains pulled down, carpets ripped, desks
broken open, beds examined, the waiuscoating and
flooring of all rooms examined, but the search wm un
successful. On digging under the stable, however,
they found a glass jar, hermetically sealed, a few feet
below the surface* which contained a hundred thou,
sand dollars worth of bonds. They next dug some
four feet below the sill of a water-gate on the bank of
the river, below high water mark, whef^ they found^ a
tin box containing seventy-nine thousand dollars ill
bonds. All the bonds have been identified by bank
officers, and altogether $190,431 of stolen property was
. recovered and given over to the bank officers. B^oore
is here in prison awaiting a requisition, from the au
thorities of Massachusetts. By statements made by
Moore, he and an accomplice watched eight months
for an opportunity to rob the bank, and succeeded in.
doing so in broad dray light by using false keys while
the cashier was absent at dinner. Moore's accoim
..lice was Harry Howard, alias “English Harry,"'who
fas doubtless left the country.
{ Compensation fob Negroes.—When the negrq en
listments were begun in* Kentucky, the act of Con.-
gress authorizing those enlistments at the samo time
made provisions by which loyal men were to receive
pay for their slaves so enlisted ; the amount was $300.
This now is over five millions. Tfie Secretary of War
was instructed by Mr. Lincoln to appoint commission
ers to adjudicate upon and arrange those claims ; but
the death of the President occurring disarranged these
matters, and Mr. Johnson has (as Mr. Stanton says)
giyen no instructions about the matter. It will proba
bly be some time before the debt is’paid.
