Do-tr nra U ot JmajrM** Party in Mexico. NEW YORK, August 80.-It is stated "that the Imperialists have- forced the army of the Republicans from the Rio Grande, and are now occupying the whole country, with the exception of a small portion of -Chihuahua, in which Juarez and his Government were at last accounts attempting to make a last stand. My informant, who is a Mexican gentleman of high charac? ter, ?las no doubt that the intelligence is correct. IM?*urban?e om Roanoke island. FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 2.-The steamer Washington Irving has arrived at Norfolk, from Roanoke Island. The captain reports that on the eve of their departure frpm Roanoke Island his engineer-went ashore for the mails, and when returning to the boat was attacked by two negroes, pushed and kicked from the sidewalk; whereupon he defended himself by knocking one of the negroes down, for which he was arrested and kept in the lock-up over night. On the morning of the 24th ? he was brought"before Col. Hohnes, First United States colored regiment, , tried and acquitted. The officers of the Washington Irving say the darkies do as they please on the island, and . that it is not safe for a white man to laud there. New J m noy Democrat ic Convention. TRENTON, Sept. 3.-In the' Demd . eratic Convention, Gen. Runyon was unanimously nominated on the third ballot.

Declaring and insist ing on the rights of the States oppos? ing negro suffrage, and emphatically agreeing with President Johnson that this subject must, be left witt- the States.

' Expressing sympathy and gratitude to the soldiers, and insisting that the Government shall pay the soldiers the full bounty promised td them. Op? posing military arrests. Favoring freedom of elections and the restora? tion of the writ of Jtabetts corpus, and ?coming down upon the national debt as erroneously and improperly ma? naged.* Riotous Conduct. CHARLESTOWN, VA., August 29.-An incident occ#rred a few miles West of ibis place, this morning, which, for a while, created a good ?deal of excite? ment. A negro-woman went out to a field, near the residence of a neighbor? ing gentlemans and was set upon by " three negro men, Who severely cut and bruised her, at the same time declar? ing their intention to kill every person on *he placo. They went off, leaving the woumifl for dead, but she subse? quently recovered herself sufficiently to get to the%ouse and give the alarm. Word was immediately sent to town, and a party at once organized and went in pursuit of the guilty parties. They returned about sun-down, how? ever, without accomplishing their mis? sion, the negroes having taken the alarm and fled. The woman, though stabbed in three places, 1s thought to be not seriously ?mijured. It <k reported here to-day that a difficulty oocurred^in a barber's shop, in Winchester, yesterday, originating in a question of rpriority as to "whose .turn next, " between some negroes and a white man, itu which five negroes are said to have been killed. I do not vouch for the truth of this report, but merely "tell the tale as 'twas told tome."-Cor. Richmond Times. "Cease your annoyance," said an indignant poet to his familiar, "ere I grasp you by the band which encircles your neck and huid you into the im? mensity of space, where lt would guz? zle Omniscience to find you, and Om? nipotence to re-organize the scattered remains of the defabricated corpus which tabernacles your Lilliputian soul-a million of which would rattle in the anatomy of a pigmy, or a thou? sand ambulate a minute in the deger minated shell of a mustard seed." REHTOBATIO?? OF THE SOUTHERN STATES;-It is stated that a call for a grand mass meeting in New York is being extensively signed in that city bv leading men of all parties, to adopt resolutions in favor of Presi? dent Johnson's policy of Southern restoration, and to counteract the ad? verse agitation of the radicals. [Baltimore S\tn. PRISONERS CAPTURED.-Statistics of the War Department show that during the war ' the Federal armies captured over 300,000 prisoners of war, besides paroling about 160,000 more before the final surrender. These records are now undergoing complete compila? tion, and the facts developed thereby are of much interest. . Another extensive forgery has been brought to light in New York. Geo. Gladwine, whilst at the St. Nicholas] Hotel, forged the names of two par? ties, by which he obtained some $3,000 in money and $200,000 in rail? road bonds, and then decamped*. He Was pursued and arrested' in New Haven, Connecticut, and the bonds recovered. A writer in the Macon Telegraph re? commends that the people of Georgia petition the President td grant a par? don to the Hon. A. H. Stephens. The writer thinks Mr. Stephens would use all his influence for the good of the country, and would assist much in set? tling matters. William D. Smyth, of Atlanta, Ga., was. shot and wounded, mortally it is thought, at that place on the 19th nltimo^by two men in Federal uni? form, who called him to his door. " About thirty paroled Confederates have arrived at St. Louis, and report? ed that they had been forcibly pre? vented from staying at their homes in Jackson County, Mo. A man whose wife^iore the virtuous name of Patience, who was not re? markable for her height, was over? heard to complain that his Patience was very short. A Now York correspondent writes to the London Times that John Mit-1 ohed will be turned over to the Eng? lish Government as an escaped convict fromAustralia. A large fire occurred in St{ Louis on the 30th ult., which destroyed two warehouses containing 10,000 bales of hemp. One concern lost $350,000. Queen Victoria took a pleasure trip by rail recently, and ice was strewn on the top of the car to prevent her fern? ier being affected by the bent. .
