CAPTORS OF PUIBLA BY tUK FRSNCH.
An arrival at New York from Havana, men
tions the receipt of important dispatches which
announce the occupation of Puebla by the B'recch
forces, preceded by the unconditional surrender
of Gen. Ortega, with 23 other Mexican Generals,
and 000 other officers, and 17,000 men.
The Piario de la Marina of May 27, states that
it is in possession of information, obtained
through an author:*.d channel, which not only
confirms the account of tbs occupation of the
city by the French troops, bat g.ves also inter
esting details, which the sourca from which they
are received allows it (the JHario ) to call offi
cial.
On Saturday, May 16, the French troops, which
had opened a parallel at ISO mitr,s from the fort
of Totimehuacan, opened ae artillery Gre, which
was well kept up against the fort, and dismount
ed all its guns. ,
The besieged defended them',elves with valor.
The next dav the parallels were advanced to a
short distance'from the works of def nse. Then
the Mexic. u General Mena- xu presented Utilise:!
to General Forey in his camp, cod asked him to
permit the Mexican treops to leave Faeb.a wit; 1 ,
their arms and part ot their artillery; on this
condition the place wonid surrender. Gen. io
rey refusjd promptly to accept this offer.
At 5 o’clcck the bearer of a flag ol truce presen
ted himself to Genera! Forey with a letter from
General Gonzales Ortega, cutnniun Citing to him
that he wonid surrender unconditionally with ail
his troops. Thereupon, Colonel Ma.eque, the
second c lef of the st if, proceeded to occupy the
place wiih the fi st battalions oi Ch£S3eurs unc er
toe command of Conroy, and a piatoon of Hus>
sars.
rue surrender of the plccr was effected peace -
o . On May 19. b, at ll o c ck. the French tro-’ps
c -limited entering Puebla, ana Geu F rev ’ikj
wise effected his entry. A salute of 10. gdrs was
fired at tuat moment
Oa May 20. h, Gen. Bwaine, at the head of a i
corps cons’.stieg cf two divis’.o s, cocnnidriced th-t f

late orders regulating the exporta-
of large assortments of supplies,
- and n- rcbanc za would Lavs found th<ir
Jr„y to Tt'xa l ; but our military authorities have j
cot locked at this matter Ike business men, and
whilst endeavoring to regaiat • the trade, they
have very nearly a.stroyed it. On the other hand,
the merchants in ilex’ o srem to have lost ail
confidence in Texes, for the sac". that, having
taken into the State large quantities of supplies,
Ac., they are not allowed to export the cotton
which legitimately belongs to them. Tnese mer
chants that are citiz-ns ot Mexico, have certifi
cates of the invoices of goods entered at the ef
ferent Custom Horses on the frontier, and also
permits from Gen. Bee, allowing them to export
their cotton. They are at a loss to know how
said permits are now disregarded by Gen. Ma
gruder. The tiuihis, the trade has received a
deathblow, and that is not tie worst, for if the
merchants of Mexico are not fairly treated, the
importation of Mexican products moy be forbid
den.
It i3 stated by a gentleman connected with the
Stats Government of Tamaulipas, that Gov.
Lr p .z is to issue a proclamation, solemnly stating
t :-t Mexico condemns as criminal, any expedi
tion fitted ou. in its territory sgainst Texas, and
that a,l Mexicans or forsiguera joining the same,
Will be declared ou .laws.
Gov. Vidaurri, at Monterey, is friendly to the
South. He is wa-mly attached to Texas.
The Brownsville Flag, of April 24ih, states that
Moj Gen. Magruder baa directly and distinctly
reviked all cotton ordsrs, and herea ter the ex
pona ion of cotton is to be unrestricted. Toe
live dallars exchange is abolished. No regula
tions new inurfere with trade, except the em-
ployment of conscript teamsters.
Parties who have arrived in Texts from Cali
fornia state that the Federal troops at Tucson,
Arizona, were under marching orderE fir the Bio
Grande. They are to fall in wita Gen. Carleton’s
command somewhere in Texas. The object of
this expedi ion i.i said to be to cut eff fine supplies
the Confederacy is receiving by the Rio Grande
and through Mexico. It numbers about 5000, in
cluding U. S. regulars and New Mexico and Cali
fornia volunteers. It is said they expect a force
of 5000 more men can be raised in Texas, and on
the Mex’can side of the Rio Grande. This
expedition wiil probably work its way to
wards the Gulf, with ’.be aid of the Union men—as
thiyf.iiy—in Texas, until the boundary shall ba
entirely in the Federal hands. They believe the
enterprise to be ecsy of execution. Their troops
will probabbr stert irom El Peso, and take poEses
a’on of the Chain cf forts extending towards Ban
Afonio, and make e ch in success on the base of
operations against the next, until the army i •
within easy comn.uuicat.oa with a co-operative
force upon the Gulf. It .undents of Texas say
that, even Pt ey should bring 30,000 men —which
we know full weil they cannot do at this time—
they would net be able to guard a lice liio that of
the Km Grande, 1800 miles 1 eg.
Gov. Lubbock, in his mei-sage, states that Texas
has lurnished 87,000 troo; s lor the Confederate
army. lie recommends a State conscription law,
to embrace all between tS. e ages of sixteen ana
sixty ; aud this law uss been adopt; and by the Le
gislature, and is now in force. The Governor
tinted that, according to the clocest calculation,
this law would add about 27,000 men to the rebel
army.
Tte crops in Texas promise abundantly. The
greati-fat danger to be opxneher.dao to our crops is

CoNFEOKKATK OI’SKATIO.SS IN NORTH-WESTERN
Virginia. —A correspondent of the Richmond
Sentinel, writing from Harrisonburg, Rocking
ham county, Va., under date cf r May 27, gives tbe
annexed account of Confederate operations iu
North-Western Virginia:
The chief object of Gen. W. E. Jone.u’ late expe-'
dition to West Virginia, was to destroy the B.
and O. R. R., and while so doing to send out cat
te to Gen. R. E. Lep’a army. The impressment
of h csss afterwards becami necessary, in order
that trie dismounted men scould not be left in so
deso'ate and unfriendly a couutry. We first en
countered the enemy as Greenland, eighty strong
Auer making a very gallant defence they surren
dered, having first killed and wounded fwenty
three of our men. Wo then crossed the Potcmuc,
passed through a corner of Maryland,, attacked
Oakland, and captured sixty-five prisoners with
out fir ng a gun. The bridges along this portion
of ihe road havirg betn destroyed, we marched
ou Fail moot. It was held by four hundred and
fifty infantry. The fences were high, aud numer
ous, and all, rded them sure retreats from cur
cavalry charges. We at length surrounded them
and hud cleared the way for a grand charge, when
the white flag was hoisied.ancl three hundred and
sixty-five surrendered. Before they could be sent
from the field, a train bringing a regiment of in
iautry and two pieces of artillery, was seen ap
proaching. Our men dismounted, seized tbe gnus
jure, captured, und engag'd the Yankee iifautry
which had dismounted a id were udvancingon the
bridge. Before the rear of tbe train could be
gamed, it leaded op, anil started for Grafton.
The bridge at Fairmont was one of the most
co. tly on tho road, one half million of dollars
having been expended ia building it. lt was
built intiroly of i-oa, three spaas long, each span
three hundred feet. The rods from some cf the
hollow cylinders having been drawn, leaving
apertures in wh’ch powder could bo psured, the
destruction of the bridge became an easy matter.
Two well prepared blasts threw the entire bridge
i .to the watara of the Monoagahela. The piece
of arillery captured was thrown in after the
bridge. At Fuirmont Gov. Pisrpont has a fine
| residence. Daring tho tight someone took his
j 1 brary into tho street ana burned it. At Grafton
the tuemy had two thousand, and at Giaiksburg
four thousand. We passed between the two
placis, crossed tho ruilrcad at Bridgeport, five
miles from Clarksburg. At Bridgeport we cap
tured forty-six mounted’ r ilimen. Oar next
point oi attack was West Union, to which place
rioi. Harman with six hundred men proceeded.
He found it guarded by seven hundred men
drawn up a mile in front of the place. Engsging
the enemy in front with hi3 . harpahooters, he
rent detachments of mounted men who burned
the fcridg.s in their rear. He then rijoined his
c’tmmand, having captured seventy five Yankees.
Daring this time the remainder of the brigade
lied cipturod the guard at Cairo, numbering
twenty-one men, aud destroyed three large
bridges, aud burned tiro wooden trestle work
within ihe tunnel. The heat threw down a nuin-
bcr of Jarga rocks upon tha track.
By this lime Pierpont’s State was thorough'y
uronstd. At Farkeraburg they bad collect'd u
large number of militia, with a lew volunteers,
a'l retolved to“dieio the ditch.’' Two sinait
Runboals were lying in the river ready foi action.
Dry goods and valuable properly were moved
across the river, showing, that whilst the sol
di-rs were preparing to defend the place the cili-
Z--. 2 cxpected the place to be ransacked by the
rih Js But we turn*.d op next at Oiltown, cap
turing a piece ot artillery on our way, whic i we
spiked and threw into the nearest stream. An
ticipating our movements, the enemy had com
menced ehippin t the oil to Parkersburg, and the
price had advanced live dollars on the barrel in
the latter place. It was the middle of a bright
sunny day that we reached O.liown. The work
of destruction commenced. Oao kur.drad and
fifty thousand barrels cf ths nfl immable oil had
been leit to whicn the torch was applied. The
burning ol the heated casks, the cries of the ti e
ing families, the running to and fro of the Con
fede.airs created an exc tement scarcely equalled
on the battle field. Huge volumes ot black
smeke ascen ts until it blends with the clones
above, or is borne on some passing breeze to
earth, shutting out from s’ght the towering
flumes by spreading an Egyptian darkness, and at
the same time a sicsening udor.
During , th s time tbe oil had collected on the
river t the depth cf a veral inches, an the
swollen ferrmt had brrue it down for miles, form
ing a continuous stratum. Tirs at length caugh.
fire, and the sight was ore cf awful grandeur. The
flames rushing down thu stream with lightning
rapidity, wincing iround the bends of tbo river,
emitting clouds cf dense, b ! ack smoke, while the
trees upon the river edge heaved to and fro ass
a whirlwind was among their branches. ’T;s said
the wells will barn for years before the flumes can
be exiingr.i.'h-d. It this b the case the less will
be felt tbreughout the North, as the oil is uted in
every machine shop and in almost eTerv family
lamp. Our mission having bten completed, we
returned. We earned fifties large bridges, three
trains, ard the oil we.is. We brought cut five
tho isand cattle, one thousand horses, and part-led
six hundred and fifty-one prisoners.
