IQy Tologmpri. From Xioalalttna. NEW ORLEANS, October 20.-Gov. Wella ; has issued a proclamation caning for pro? posals for the reconstruction of the levees at the expense of the State. A petition his been received by Gov. Wells from thc citizens of North Louisi? ana, asking him to take steps to prevent the threatened negro insurrection in that section. Of the two negro regiments raised by Gen. Banks, one was to be disbanded yes? terday, and thu other will be this week, aomo of the papers say that these regi? ments will retain their organizations, not? withstanding their disbanding.

West, E. G. Peyton. ? ? ? From Mexico. NEW YOI?K, October 23.-Mexican lates to the loth mst. have been received in this city. Maximilian has issued a proclamation, I announcing the departure of Juarez from Mexican territory, saying that bis depart? ure was occasioned by bis (Juarez) having met with so much valor in the imperial forces, thc people generally having sue- J combed to national authority. Even bri? gandage is said to have disappeared with the departure of their leader from Mexican soil. Maximilian adds, however, that disorder is still kept up, and to go out would be in? flexible in punishment. [So reads the de? spatch, and if our readers can divino its meaning, they are heartily welcome to all the intelligence it contains, as we worried our braiu with it, and finally concluded to make the matter short by giviug it as near verbatim as could be done.-EDS. COURIER..] The Embellir iia,s issued a decree con? taining vigorous measures to be enforced against all persons found in arms against his Government. General Es Poriel bas gone to Lower California to endeavor to bring that portion of Mexican territory under the sway of the Emneror. Watliiagton Affair*. WASHINGTON, October 20.-The myste? rious State priboner arrested some mouths ago, in Memphis, or some point in the South-west, and transported herc under the suspicion of being John H. Stirrat, turns out to be a J. W. Fuller, who was formerly a druggist on tho corner of Col? lege and Cedar atreets, Nashville, Tenn. He is represented to be a 6enii-spy, a semi scout and secret service employee of thc Government. It is asserted that be has letters from at least seven major-generals, attesting his loyalty. Thia, at least, is his statement. Itt? true that he is yet in pri? son, and has ians far had no examination ^or trial, although imprisoned over ninety W The sporting fraternity of Washington. I now thc times of conspiracies and disloyal j practices are past , are coming in for more than their share of attention from the War I Department police. Hardly a day pasees [ but some ono of tho "tiger"' keepers is * summoned to Gen. Baker's headquarters, and forced to disgorge the greater portion of his previous night's fleece. There is a decided objection to these amusements, and a fir? determination to preserve the morals of this conamunitv this winter. Six thousand acres of land in Arkansas, belonging to thc cx-rebel General Gideon J. PiRow, which has beeu held as abandon? ed property for nome time past by the Go? vernment, nae been restored to ita original owner. Thc situation at the White House, on Thursday, was a quiet one. Thc President received*but few visitors. The only person of any prominence who obtained ku inter? view was Gen. Butler. Thirty additional post offices were re? opened in Alabama to-day. The letting of mail contracts for the whole South will commence on the first day of Nevember. The Provost Marshal at New Orleans is rather exceeding his duties in ordering the striking from the register roll thc names of parties whom he deems to have been dis- ! loyal "antecedent to the amnesty procla- j marion of thc President." This is a matter that does notcoaceru him at all, and, fur? ther, it is an interference in the law of the State that will not be tolerated. I am not aware that the authorities have yet ap? pealed to the President upon the subject. There is to be, in the future, no more niib tary interf?rence in the organization of State Government, and the ..provo's'7 and all others may as well understand this at once. The moat important action of the Missis? sippi Legislature, which met yesterday, will be the ratification of the amendment of the Constitution of the United States abolishing slavery, and the passage of an Act. or Acts, defining the status of the negro, and providing for his future condi? tion. Of inc ratification <.?* the ?la.eij amendment there is DO doubt, and this doiie.it will require the votes of but two more States to make the great work com? plete and binding for all time. A Charleston letter is emphatic in the expression that a union of the Methodist Episcopal Church South with that of the North ia utterly impossible. "Deeper, far deeper," pa vs t his letter, 'us tho secession fueling in tf;e Church than ever it was in the State; nor is there the remotest proba? bility ?bat this feeling can ever be eradi cated. In thi= connection, is it not a pertinent question to ask whether or not the Conven? tion in Philadelphia is n t counting on a more liberal response from the Episcopal Church South than the present indications warrant' The address of the Bishop of S ?util Carolina is certainly far from reci? procal, or even sympathetic with the feel? ing of the Convention in your city, while the continued absence of representatives fr;m the bulk of the States shows too un niistakably for a moment's doubt that tho. desire for a re-uaited Church comes all from one side. The Democratic nominations for Con? gress in Louisiana are of the right stamp, and may bc regarded as equivalent not only to an election, but also to an admis? sion into the next Congress and a support of President Johnson. 8CHESTS Hyson, Young Hyson, Impe? rial, Oolong and Japan TEAS.
