?y' Telegrap?i,. Prom tile Jilo Grande? CATEO, Tuesday, August 3'.-The steamer Niagara, from 'New Orleans th? 28$h ult., has arrived . The True Della has advices from Brownsville, that Cortinas had been defeated in an engagement wiih'Lopez between Riataaioras andCamargo", and Cortinas had refcarncd to the Texas tide of. the liver, leaving all his forces in thc hands of the enemy. .Gen. Steele '.nd three of his officers were very sick with the back-bone fever. Tnere was a great deal of sick? ness among our troops, scurvy ?geing the prevailing disease." YellowSfever was developing itself rapidly at Mata moras.' Many planters were bringing cotton to Houston. Five thousand negro troops occupied the coast from in dianola to Victoria, many of whom were engaged in rebidlding thc rail? road. . A party of Kickapoo Indians recent? ly made a raid upon the Texas fron? tier, kiding and wounding a number | of persons, and stealing many horses. From "Washington. WASHINGTON, August 7.-It is un? derstood that the Department of ?State ha-; received information to the effect that ' orders have been given by the French commander in Mexico for the restitution of the property of the Con? federate Government which was taken to that country on the occasion of the evacuation of Brownsville. President Johnson has given our military com? manders in Texas injunctions to con? tinue thc observance of a strict neu? trality i11 the contest on the Mexican | side of the Rio Grande between the Republicans and the imperialists. . EF?. DAVIS. President Joiinson has decided that Mr. D.:.vis shall not be tried by a mili? tary commission" notwithstanding he has been persistently urged to that course by the radical , who thirst for more blood. And it is, moreover, almost certain that he will eventually be permitted to leave the country. TUE SUCCESSOR OF MB. SEWARD: Mr. Seward will probably leave the Cabinet at an early day. lu that event, Hon. Preston King will be his successor* . If Mr. Seward remains in office, it will be for the purpose of. carrying out the Monroe doctrine, as applied to Mexico. He is determined that Maxi? milian shall be expelled from that coun? try, no matter at what cost. There is reason to believe that ?>ur minis? ter at the Court of France has been instructed to say that the United States will adhere to its traditional policy, and that its people will not tolerate a inouarcy founded, as it is, on the ruins of a sister republic. It i-i doubted, however, that President Johnson is prepared to acquiesce in the present extreme views of the Sec? retary. OENEIiAL XJIC-: TAYLOR AND THE P1OSI DEXT. * General Dick' Taylor was received by the President most cordially. He told the President 'that he had two favors to ask:' "To goto Liverpool, and to sec my brother-in-law, .Teller son Davis." The President said: "You shall have permission to go, if you wish, but I do not want men like you to leave the country." The Pre? sident said die would consider the re? quest for an interview with Mr. Davis. Ho at once granted-a pardon to Gene? ral Taylor, and next day brought up before the Cfftinet thc proposition to yee Mr. Davis. No decision was ar? rived at, .Secretary Stanton getting into a violent passion and denouncing it. - A great sensation was created in the secession cheles particularly, and among the people generally, in Mon? treal, on last Saturday night, by an alleged attempt to capture the ex-rebel agent, Geoi-ge N. Sanders, and con? vey him across the border to within the limits of the United States, lt is said that men, luiving tins object in v.e.v, we *e found secreted in Sanders' r. sidence, and the result was consider? able of a struggle between these indi? viduals and some members of the family, but a failure to secure the p Tson of George himself. A number of the rebel agents who recently made so much noise in Canada, such as S aiders and Beverly Tucker, still remain in Montreal, but keep them? selves very quiet, and receiv- but little attention from the people, now t.iat* the bubble of their assumed im? portance has besn pricked and col? lapsed.-iVtvr York 1 fen dd. Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, the illustrious novelist, poet and states? man, has become utterly deaf, and been forced to abandon the society even of his most intimate friends. WUat ts to ttccomc of Old bebt?? v MR. EDITOB: This isa question of vital Importland is deservedly attract? ing much attention and discussion among* thc people. There -are very few person? in the State who are not personally interested in its solution, a small. number as creditors, a very, large number as debtors. It is rare indeed to find an individual who is not involved, either on his own ac-' count, or as security for others. Hence the all-pervading interest in the mo? mentous question:"What is to bo done with old debts? This and tho ques ' rion of labor are the great questions of the day. The necessity for their thorough consideration is imperativo: upon their solution depends tho weal or woe of this Commonwealth for .generations to como. Tho former mode of reasouiug will .not suit now. The whole order of things is funda? mentally changed. Hy au act of thc governing power, nearly thc entire property of the people has been swept ?away at "one fell swoop"-the very property too upon whose credit their debts wore based. To suppose that these debts, or a tenth part thereof, can ever be paid out of thc pittance left, is tho veriest dream of lunacv. What, then, is to begone? Shall they continuo to hang like an incubus over tho poor debtor, paralyzing all his energies, blasting r.-il his hopes, shut? ting up every avenue before him, ;ind oven removing .-uni destroying his only chance to gain bread for his chil? dren by the sweat of his;brow? lu many instances, the very property for which tho d?bt was contracted, is.in vested with the attributes of freed? men and is vagabondizing over tin1 country, making raids npou the be:* garly remnants left to their former masters. And now i mist, tho hgmo siead of the unfortunate master bc cruelly torn from him. and his wife and children bo turned out into thc world, houseless, homeless, beggars? When he contracted his debts, he had abundant means to pay them, but these have boon swept away by Act <;1 Government. It was said by thc chief rider of the nation, that "the friction of the rebellion had rubbed out slavery." Well, so he it. And why shall not tho same friction rub out dol ts and contracts based upon slavery? Docs not every consideration of reason, justice and sound policy require it? Again we say, upon thc solution of this great question, with that of tho regulation of labor, de? pends thc prosperity or ruin of otu country. Permit the newly-fledgi*! freedmen to d?g?n?r?t' into an idle, vagabond ?md pilfering vagrant, an hi inevitably will, without the retrain? ing power of law, and start thelawyoi and sherill- with their foul machinery of li?J'ii.,n crt so.'s. etc., and thc doon of the country is forever sealed. Should not these quostious engage thc attention ol' the approaching Cou vention? The old building o? Stat? Government, like your old Capitol, i a pile of smonhloring^niitis. Yoi must now begin lo build il? novo. Th? now order ol. Government wilt require the application of' nev,- principles Slavery, formerly our king, is "gone up," defunct, "no sou of Iiis succeed ing." The . country .has undergone : radical, revolutionary change. Thor? is a totally different ref/int?, requiring a totally different polity and policy There must ho a geltend adaptation t? this new order of things. Slaver; lias been wiped out. The debts <> the country, based upon it, must b"i wiped out too. In framing a nev State Constitution, it will bo the ?lut; of the Convention t?i deliberate wei upon these questions, and institut? measures adapted t*> the exigencier. <> the times. They must realize thi great fact'that t he people of this conn try have to commence fife anew. With the abrogation of old system and old institutions, the manacles let' by tin'm upon our arms must bi stricken oil'. Thc frantic howls o greedy Sin lucks* must not be snfi'eree to drown the voice of justice, rca?Ai sud policy. Our ill-starred conn* must not be plunged" intoirremeiliabl ruin to gratify Ute craving avarice o skulking speculators and extortioners those rave-nous, vultures who suche? ont hen- life-blood in her darkest hon ?>f trial. The State lies bleeding ane torn by ino great revolution througl winch she h s just passed. J.f w would vitalize' n?T mangled body, ane restore to lier her former vigor am prosperity, wo must bring to the tas] of remodeling her Constitution am her statutes? pure and lofty patriot ism. The foul oligarchy of hungr blood-suckers who so ruinously "rule the hour" of her greatest peril, mus bc driven like skulking toads t* thei fad iel holes. Lut the people have care what manner of men they be, t whom they give their sruTragcs in th approaching election. Remember tbe advice of the heroic Hampton upon .this point. Nwt every one who fawns npon you with sycophantic smiles is worthy of your suffrage, but he who has tlie common sense to understand the present exigency, and-the honesty and patriotism to act accordingly. Beware of the wolf who suddenly, en? robes liimself in a sheep's skin. Se? lect men to remould your Constitution and laws who have the pood of the country at heart, who nobly stood by her in her day of peril, who sacrificed ! all upon her altar, and not those who ; by. their greed of gfftn hastened her , downfall, and who ? nv seek to. grow ? fat and sbvk by feasting with hyena j like rapacity upon tlie bleeding niem ; bcrs of her mangled bod v. I A SOLDIER.

I Take tho hoquet out of thc suds every i morning and. lay it sideways in fresh ] water, the stock entering first into -thc i water; keep it there a minute or two, i then take it out and sprinkle the ! flowers lightly by thc band with pure ; water. lieplnee thc boquet in the j soap-suds and tlie flowers will bloom \ up as fresh as when gathered. Thc soap-suds need to be changed every J third day.
