Now if you will consolidate em and vi -ait 2*. years for the money. i'U pay you 4 per cent, intrust. If you wont do it I'll repudiate one third of the debt, ani I wont take any of it for what you owe me for taxes. ’ Mr. Editur i* dident take two to make that bargain—it only took one. I hurried off to the Agency and consolidated. They took my money -and give me a little sickly scrap of yaiier printin about the size of a thum aper, and l kept it and it. on til I wii obliged 'o have some change, ani sold it to i white man for 3- cents in the dol lar.

In the evening. L ever, the order sime. news of which spread *- iy throughout the town, aa-i caused Mr. Pier. .-4 house to be besieged by a crowd of anxious cl zeas of toe United stares, who still regarded him as possessed of some power and iafiaeoce. Tne papers and records of the office were packed ap and removed to Mr. Pierce's house aid the affi *a left closed. Mr. Pierce left Matamoroa on the 16th. w.-h the intention of returning soon. F r some time previous to leaving Mexico, M Pierce had been engaged in official correspond is: with Gaa. Mejia on the subject of delivering up alleged fugitives to the rebel authorities at Brown- Till*. Is reply to protests against this practice the General answered that he only ordered the re tun es tho*e guilty es some crime es magnitude* and that this was done under an extradition tr-a; While, however, this was the avowed thoor the practice went far beyond and included the ie livery up of anybody wanted by the rebels. There is, of course, uo difficulty in trumping up a char go to prefer against any one, and as there is ao trli ! nor examination, except to take the fugitive before the chief alea ie and make a formal demand an i identify the person, it opens the door to the rebus to drag from the triendly and neutral shores af Mexico any ene who may be thought to be hostile to the Confederate cause, or who may be useful ; ° a conscript. It was officially given oat, however that fugitive slaves were not surrendered. There is unquestionably an atrempt on the pact of the Brownsville rebeis and their sympathises in Matamoras to complicate the relations existing between tha United States and Mexico, and. if possible, prove hostilities. By this moans they hope to call in the aid of France, and thus bring the weight of that power to bear on the rebel si ie in the great contest that has been waged for four years, and with resuits so unexpected and dis heartening to the rebels. Tne refusal of our Gov ernment te recognize Maximilian is artfully used by public enemies in this country to serve their ends, and 3tir up a feeling of resentment against this count)y in Mexico. Thu appears to be fine eauso of the -difficulty.
