Early in the morning tho garri-
son began to move towards the lo-
vee carts carriages and other vehi-
cles being in domand.
General Mojia evacuated thocity
with all tho honors of war taking
with him his men baggago arms
and amunition.
The garrison is going to Bagdad

ance of the garrison loft on board

Tho Imporial forces have all their '
arms and also two small pieces of'
artillory six poundors. At 11
o clock A. M. all the troops were
together on board tho boats only
waiting the arrival of tho Generals

Messrs. Emilio Velasco and Saa

General Olvera and Major Gayon
started for tho boats which were
only waiting thoir arrival to start

The town was comparatively qui-
et considering such an occasion as
the change of administrators. No
trouble is anticipated. The largest
portion of commercial houses in
Matamoros haveremoved to Browns-
ville and very few stores are open.
It will take a few days for tho city
to resume its usual quietness.
At about three o'clock P. M. all

The same paper says :
The Camorgo stage came in yes
terday noon bringing Messrs.
Quinn McManus and other gentle-
men who left Matamoros some days
ago to go to Camargo in order to
negotiate with Escobedo for the re-
turn of their goods captured with
the convoy.
These gentlemen were not prison
ers as reported in our issue of yes-
terday but General Escobedo re-
fused to come to any terms with
them stating that evory thing would
be settled satisfactorily lor all par
ties in Matamoros. The train is at
Reynbsa the wagons intact but 27
of them have already been given
we are informed to Gen. Canalas
for his share in the action.
There were only 125 Austrians
killed and wounded and many of
that number wounded but slightly.
The surgeon was killed and four or
five other officers seriously but not
dangorously wounded. Many of
them have joined Canales' forces and
are coin? to stay with them; the
balance of them have Joined Esco-
bedo. Gen. Escobedo was expected to
arrive lost night or early this morn-
ing. Mr. Louis Tardos. we are sorry

sion imposed on her by the invader's
forcos the Bepublican Government
is re-established. The enemy con-
vinced that he lacked the support of
public opinion has abandoned the
city to our power. This success is
the prelude of the complete triumph
of the national independence on this
frontier which in its turn will car-
ry war into tho interior of the Re-
public to defend our brothers. To
succeed in thataim all patriots must
concur iu their efforts. The coun-
try has need of the sacrifices of her

out the distinction of the opinions
which divided us in our passed rev-
olutions and disunion.

My sincere desire is to sustain the
cause of independence in accepting

tTV! olip the following extracts from
the London correspondent of the Houston
Telegraph:
"I have had tho pleasure of moot-
ing tho Hop. Louis T. Wigfall of
Texas nnd Gen. John T. Walker
late of tho Confederate service. The
former is accompanied by his son
Major Wigfall a young gentloman
who sorved with clihtiuutioii ou the
staff of Gen. Hood during the late
war. I am uninformed as to the fu-
ture intentions of Gon. Wigfall but
presume that ho will not allow his
brilliant intolloct to long remain in-
active. In the meantime whilo
awaiting tho "courso of human
cvonts" he might favor the world
with his view of the lato struggle in
America which along with the
works of Gen'ls. Loo Early and oth-
ers will placo our unfortunate peo-
plo on tho pages of history in a
proper light. Gon. Walker has es-
tablished himself at 150 Leadenhall
Street E. C for the purpose of
transacting a general commission
business in connection with the
Southern States and solicits con-
signments of produco at Liverpool
or London at the option of thecon-
signeo. Captain M. F. Maury whoso con-
tributions to science have mado him
a world-wide famo was tho recipi-
ent of a testimonial of over 3000
pounds value a few evonings since
at Willis' Room's. Among the dis-
tinguished gTlff on tho occasion
was Gon. BeMfcgard who was tho
object of much attention. The press
are highly eulogistic in their notices
of Capt. Maury and assign him the
highest place among tho scientific
men ot bis age.
The lion. J. i. lienjamin. i ieo
has been admitted to the English
bar without having to pass through
the customary routine of "dining at
the Inns" for three years.
REVErwE Stamps. The Supreme
Court of Massachucetts has recently
passd indimient upon the validity
' of a deed having no revenue stamps
affixed to it. The Court cpnsidered
that the absence of the stamp did
. . . .
not invalidate the deed anu qnes-
tioned whether Congress intended
D to frame the Revenue laws ino
1 Court was of the opinion that a
I United States statue undertaking to
invalidate an inetrliment which val-
id by the laws of the State would bo
unconstitutional. The Government
could impose a penalty for not fix-
ing the stamp but could not make
the instrument worthless because
the stamp was not affixed.

of tho

would olny give thorn a talk; nnd a
very interesting talk it was. Ho ad-
vocated tho establishment of a sys-
tem of graduated free public schools
and espocinlly for tho city of Hous-
ton. His excellent suggestions wero
equally applicable to every other
town of any considerable population.
IIo estimated tho number of pupils
of thescholastio ngo in Houston at
2500; of whom said ho at least
1000 oujrht at all times to be

on tho advantages to ariso from tho
successful cstablishmont of such
schools was very felicitous.
Judgo Hill was called for and
took tho stand as ho obsorved to
make an apology for not making n
speech. Warming with his subject
his apology expanded into a very
handsomo and eloquent address.
Wo shall not attempt' to givo a syn-
opsis of it as it would bo impossiblo
in this way to do justice to its boau-
tiful images and numorous felicities
of expression illustrating nnd cn-
I forcing his argument on tho dignity
nnportanco nnd bonihconco ot tho
profession of Teachers.
Col. Smith on being called for
paid a complimciit to tho oloquenco
of Judge Hill and oxprcRSod his ap-
probation of tho plan elaborately
and abljr advocated by Prof. Clino
as applicable to Houston nnd to
other places whoro tho population
was sufficiently dense. In regard
to tho systems of public schools hith-
erto tried in Texas ho said they had

iirovod utter iailurcs. in his opm-
money for nil tho
good it had dono might as woll have
boon thrown into the Gulf of Mexi-
co. IIo said that tho eparsencss of
; our population in tho country din-
tricts presented very groat obstacles
to tho working of any systems among
ussimilar to tho systems adopted
in Prussia and in the more densely
peopled Northern State s of tho Un-
ion. Under these circumstances ho
had no plan no system of public
Rchools to propose; he -preferred to
be a learner to hear from others.
Cj1. Smith then insisted on tho im-
portance of placing tho profession
of teaching on a footing of high re-
spectability and on a full lovel with
tho other learned professions. For
this purpose one means would bo a
higher rato of pay or emolument for
teachers; ho assorted that tho prico
of tuition was always disproportion-
ately low and that it had not gone
up with the general riso in tho mon-
ey prices of everything else. Col.
Smith said that higher pay would
enable teachers to dovoto their time
to a less number of scholars and
consequently to instruct' them bet-
ter than whon as provided for in tho
able plan 'submitted by Prof. Clino
ono instructor was allotted to fifty
pupils. Ho heartily endorsed Prof.
Clino's remark that wo should do
away with the odious distinction be-
tween poor and pauper scholars and
paying or rich. ones. Col. Smith
said he" was provented from ap-
plauding tho remarks of Prof Clino
loudly as ho wished not to lose a
word of his address.
Col. Smith concluded by advocat-
ing the establishment of an Univer-
sity by tho State whoro instruction
should bo free and gratuitous to all;
whore the son of the man with a
largo family and moderate means
should get on a footing of equality
with the son of the rich man. If
said ho your son must go to tWo'M"
Statos to tho University of Virginia
to get an University education or to
Philadelphia to study medicine you
effectually debar the poor man's son
from an education. The State ought
to furnish the means at home.
Tho resolution introduced by Ma-
jor Cave in a very spirited address
recommending the establishment of
a free school system for tho city ot
Houston was adopted unanimously.
Look out for the Stamps. Poo-
pie who give receipts for money
paid and everybody doe$ it should
niako a note of the result of a trial
which took place in New York the
other day and which shows how
perilous a thing a neglect to put
stamps upon papers whioji require
them may become Many persons
have fallen into tho error of suppos-
ing that if a paper is not stamped
the omission may be rectified at any
time at very little expense. This is
not correct. There was a provision

Similar provision is made in the
