NEW YOUK, December 12.-- Further par?
ticulars of the battle at Mataraoraa have
been received. Tho commander of the
assaulting forces reports tho loss of half
of his men in the assault on Fort Monterey.
He says their failure ?W-a* owing to the
want of scaling ladders. Escobodo'a loss
was 200 kil'cd, 400 wounded, and between
300 and '?iit prisoners. Canales' loss, all ?
told, is ah,.ut, 100. lt is said Escobedo
boasted that, if he had succeeded, he
would have crossed the river to Teins, aud
wiped out the Yankees. Largo numbers :
of wounded officers of Escobcdo's army
have arrived at Brownsville. Canales and
Escobedo had met and embraced each
other in tho presonco of Cen. Scdgewick.
Fears of an attack upon tho United-States
forces while in occupation of Matahioras
had led to extensive preparations for their
defence, on tho Brownsville si io of the
river, from whence the eui ire United States
military force would have crossed, had it
boon necessary. Thc higher classes of
Mexicans did not regard American occupa?
tion of Matamoras in a friendly light. Thc
evacuation of Durango by tho Imperialists
and its occupation by tho Liberals i-< con?
firmed. Tho army destroyed by tho lin
peria] forces near San Luis is represented
to bc tho host in thc Liberal ranks.

The Liberals made three distinct attacks

Learn ii Trade.
The New York Sun tallis wisely
j upon a subject to which we have
t frequently referred in the Phccni :?
Why is it that the proportion of
young men in this country who turn ?
out badly is so much larger than it |
used to be? Every moralist, and, in
fact, every close observer, knows that
tho proportion of shiftless, good-for
nothing young men has largely in?
creased within tile List few years,
particularly in this and other largo
cities, but those who discuss tho sub?
ject seem to bo at a loss for the true
explantioD. In our judgmeut thc
question is one Of very easy solution..
We attribute it to tho spirit of false
pride which induces (parents to put
j their boys in stores and offices rather
Lthan apprentice them, to good trades,
j In this city at tho present time, mer
I chants, bankers, insurance mon, and
others of this class, aro over-run with
applications from parents who want
situations for their boys; but manu?
facturers find it almost impossible to
get apprentices. It was not so ia 1
former times. Fifty years ago- I
much later, iii fact-parents gene- j
rally regarded a trade as something 1
essential in the preparation of .their j
boys for thc battle of life. Evou mon J
whose circumstances did not require
them to do manual work, made it a j
point to have their boys learn trades, !
in order to give them practical ideas f
about business, to make them in?
dustrious, and also to furnish them .
something to fall back upon in ease j
of adversity. How is jt now? Mo- j
chanics and laboring men, even, 1
have too generally imbibed tho idea'
that-they ought to place their boys;
a peg above tho drudgery of manual :
labor. They seem to think that they
are not doing justice to them unless
they place thom in positions where
they can wear "hobby" clothes and
keep their bands white. There never j
was a greater mistake. Look at the
leading mon of our country, from the ;
President down, and you will see j
that, as a rule, it is the men who j
learn trades in their youth who have |
become the foremost in every branch j
i f progress and enterprise. Tho boy
who is placed in a store or office
usually gets his head full of vanity
and self-conceit before lie has boen
long in his position. Ho acquires an
inordinate love of dress, and soon
becomes so puffed up in bis own esti?
mation that practical common sense
can find no lodgment in his brain.
His aim is to dress as well and live as
high as those with whom he comes
in contact, and he is quito likely to
go from habits of extravagance to
habits of dissipation. We do not
wish to be understood as saying that
that this is the road which all boys
travel who do not learn trades. Wo
simply say that such is tho tendency,
and it requires a boy of good mind,
fortified by good, carly training, to
resist the temptation. The boy who
j is put to a trade, on the other hand,
I gives vanity but little chance to got
I hold of him. Ho acquires practical
I ideas about business; his habits are
j moulded by frugality and economy,
and he lays the foundation of a good,
useful and industrious citizen. Tho
lea that manual labor is not "re?
spectable," is ono of the most absurd
things in this ago of absurdities. No ?
person with a thimble-fnil of brains j
will say anything of the kind, and !
those silly creatures who do say so j
are generally tho degenerate sons of ;
hard-working mechanics. Every boy,
whether rich or poor, high or low,
ought to learn a trade-not that ho
should always work at it, but that ho
may have it as reserve capital, to- ;
gc'her with its influence in forming I
Iiis character.

SEVEN WOMEN TO ONE MAN. Ln ?
one of his recent sermons Brigham
Young invited tho attention of.his I
hearers to the text which says : In j
that day seven women shall bike hold ?
of ono man, saying, "Wc will cat our:
own bread and wear our own apparel,
only let us be called by thy name, to
take away our reproach." "Tho:
Government of the United States,",
the elder continued, "do not intend
that prophecy shall be fulfilled, and
the Loni Almighty means that it
shall."
Diplomatic. Correspondence Aboni
l?lfiico-TJ?f Altitude of France
In the abstract of Mexican diplo?
matic correspondence given yester?
day, allusion was made to the letter
of Mr. Bigelow, of November 8, in
which the purpose of the French
Emperor not to withdraw the troops j
from Mexico until next spring, was j
first announced. Minister Bigelow
writes that he saw the Emperor upon
this subject, and received satisfactory
assurances that the postponement
was made for purely military rea?
sons, for in consideration of the re?
cent successes of the dissidents, it
would be periling those who remained
to reduce the French force by instal?
ments. Mr. Bigelow also writes,
under this date, emphatically, that
there is but one sentiment, in Paris
about, the determination of France to
wash its hands of Mexico as soon as
possible, aud that the Emperor had
.told bim that he had advised Maxi?
milian to abdicate.
Tho last letter in the batch is from
Mr. Seward to Mr. Bigelow, dated
November 30, in which the Secretary
of State takes exception to Napo?
leon's action in permitting the troops
to remain in Mexico without consult?
ing the United States, declaring that
the Emperor's decision to modify the
existing arrangement, without any
understanding with the United States,
so as to leave the whole French army
in Mexico for the present, instead of
withdrawing one detachment in No?
vember current, as promised, is now
found iu every way inconvenient and
exceptionable, wc cannot acquiesce.
Mr. Seward the n refes to the de?
parture wf Mr. Campbell and Gen.
Sherman to Mexico, to arrange with
Juarez on subjepts deeply interesting
to tho United States and vital t<
Mexico. The Secretary shows thal
our policy regarding Mexico wai
based upon reliance on the antier
pated evacuation as agreed upon, am
that Mr. Campbell now having gone,
it was impossible to re'call him ol
modify his instructions with regare
to Mexico, which Government will
of course, most earnestly desire, an<
confidently expect, an early and en
tire discontinuation of foreign hos
tile occupation.
In conclusion, the Secretary o
State says: "You will, therefore, stab
to the Emperor's Government thai
the President sincerely hopes ant
expects that the evacuation of Mexi
co will be carried into effect wiih sncl
conformity to the existing agreemcn
as the inopportune complicado]
which calls for this 'despatch sha!
allow. Mr. Campbell will be advise?
of the complication. Instruction
will bo issued to the United State
military forces of observation to wai
in every case special directions fror
the President. This will bc don
with a confident expectation that tb
telegraph or mail may seasonabl
bring us a satisfactory rcsolutio
from the Emperor, in reply to thi
note. You will assure the Frene
Government that the United State;
while they seek the relief of Mexio
desire nothing more earnestly tha
to preserve peace and friendship wit
France."-Baltimore Sun.

THK SoirrHEBN MA rx SERVICE.:-We
are constantly hearing from thc South?
ern States of the draw-backs and ?
troubles in thc mail service, arising j
from thc cnfoicemcnt of the strin?
gent test oatk upon all who have
anything to do with it. Tho law, as
it exists, is not only next to impossi?
ble of enforcement, if postal privi?
leges ari! to bc granted to the South
at all, but, when literally enforced, it
is evaded in such ways as make it of
no valuable effect. "Here and there,"
writes one of our Southern corres?
pondents, "may bc found a man
who neither aided, abetted nor sym?
pathized with thc rebellion; but,
first or last, from one reason or an?
other, it cannot be denied ?that,
throughout the South., tho intelli?
gence and energy thc whole people
went into the war." As nearly the
entire Southern people, therefore,
are precluded from official duty in
connection with tho mails, the "citi?
zens of a postal district now either
ovado tho law by getting some cripple
or aged man to take the oath and the
office, and then appoint a 'live mau'
as his deputy, or they suficr under
the ignorance and inexperience of
some person who contrived, during
the war, to keep 'between tho lines,'
and can now manage to scrape through
thc oath." The modification of the
test oath provision, so f?r as it ap] ?lies
to small official duties and small civic
positions of this kind, is besought by
Northern as well as by Southern in?
terests. lt may bc doubted whether,
oven if the constitutional amendment
were adopted, the third section would
be construed so as to apply to cases
of this kind, or whether, in accord?
ance with the terms of the third sec?
tion itself, Congress would not re?
move from this class tho general
disability imposed. Certain it i-,

? THE COTTON FBAUT>S.- Tho Wash?
ington correspondent of tho New
York Tribune gives the following:
Tho Congressional Committee on
Retrenchment, which has been in
session in thia city examining wit?
nesses, itc, for several days past in?
vestigating the cotton frauds in the
Southern States, adjourned yester?
day, to meet again on Friday. It ap?
pears that the frauds are more exten?
sive than even the most credulous
imagined. Tho sessions of the Com?
mittee, and their nets, are secret, but
it lias transpired that cottoi , to tho
value of somewhere in the neighbor?
hood of $300,000,000 has been seized
by the Government, and that proba?
bly not to exceed a ienth of the
amount realized luis accrued to the
Government. At Nev Orleans, in
one transaction, out of about 10,000
or 12,000 bales of cotton seized, tho
Government got only about 1,200
bales. One of the modes of t .vi idling j
the Government was to present
forged certificates or oaths ->f owner- '
ship after the cotton bad been seized,
and the Treasury agent would release
tho cotton thus claimed, or turn
over the proceeds from its sale under
authority of tho Treasury regulations. :
A great majority of the swindles were {
made in this manner. The Commit- i
tee will doubtless insist that, having j
once taken possession of the cotton, |
the Treasury Department had no au- !
thority to relinquish it unless claims
arising therefrom were regularly ad?
judicated by tho courts. The Go- j
vcrnnient is not likely to find this
cotton speculation a paying business,
as the amount realized, after all
claims have subsided, will be eaten
up by the expenses incurred in a
seizure, rentation, sale and liquida?
tion.

PROPOSED REMEDY ron IRELAND.
"An ex-Irish landlord and tenant,"
who ridicules Mr. Bright's Utopian
scheme of wishing English absentees
to sell their estates, says that what
Ireland wants is an act to empower
proprietors and corporations, tied up
by entails and family settlements, to
grant adequate leases, say nineteen
years, when the landlord builds;
thirty-one years when tho tenant
does so; and then let the landlord
and tenant make their own bargains.
He thinks leases ought to be granted
in Leinster, Munster and Connaught;
the Ulster people being content with
thc custom of their province, which,
however, does not prevent the land?
lord getting tlie Value ot his laud,
w hich, though inferior in quality, lets
higher than in the other provinces.
In conclusion, he remarks: "Irish
landlords cannot be charged w$th
overletting, the rents being about
I half those of the East of England
and Scotland, while they have not
raised them (except inrthe case of the
new proprietors, and in the Encum?
bered Estates Court,) though beef,
pork and butter are nearly double
what they were twenty years ago."
