The Haytien Rebellion. — Advices from 
Hayti represent that the rebellion has lasted 
longer than expected, in consequence of the re- 
’uctancc of President Geffrard to resort to ex¬ 
treme measures, the object being to weary out the 
revolutionists, without inflicting upon them at 
Cape Haytien the horrors of a bombardment. 
But this conciliatory policy Las been abandoned, 
and it is expected that matters will soon be 
brought to a close, and that peace will be soon 
restored. 
Tlexlcan Affairs, 
lion by a vote of 58 to 34, refused to repudiate 
the rebel State debt. 
The Ohio State Pair closed on the 15th. The 
receipts were §16,000. 
Gold closed in New York on Saturday, the

MEW QUARTER—A TRIAL TRIP 
The Tribuue’s Matumoras correspondent 
says ; —The aid wanted by the chiefs of the Liberal 
party is a legion of about 10,000 men, to force 
all leaders to obey the regular generals, and to 
take and hold some point as a center of union. 
In my convereation with Trevino de Leon and 
others they dwell upon these two points. 
The Liberal forces are now split np into small 
bodies, each operating in a State. If two or 
more of these bodies unite, a French force is 
sent against, them, and owing to the quality of 
the latter the result of nearly every fight i6 in 
their favor. 
A force of ten thousand men entering this 
country now, would find the Imperial forces in 
small bodies all over a vast extent of territory, 
and would be able to beat tljOPe Bodies in detail 
and drive them in great haste from the points 
they hold with loss of war material. To raise a 
legion of ten thousand men, §1,000,000 is neces¬ 
sary to begin with, and this is the great want at 
present. If that could be raised, there would 
be means to rum, clothe and feed the Legion 
until some points in this country, such ns Mata- 
moras, could be taken, and a few million dol¬ 
lars raised by requisition. A Commissioner is 
at this moment at Brownsville, with instructions 
from St, Leara de Texada, the Minister of For¬ 
eign Affairs, to raise a loan of one million dol¬ 
lars, and then to raise a Legion and buy the 
necessary munitions of war. There is to be 
no war at present in favor of Mexico; the order 
to General Sheridan shows that. The Liberal 
party wants aid from the L T nited States, and 
are lost without it. If ten thousand or twenty 
thousand men can be raised for the party, it 
may regain power. 
The Herald's Vera Cruz correspondent to the 
1st inst,., says the Imperialists were in a state of 
intense excitement and joy over the official 
announcement by Marshal Bozaino of the cap¬ 
ture of the Juarez capital by the Imperial forces. 
It seems, therefore, that the rumor which we 
have so often previously had of the flight of 
Juarez and the taking of his capital by Maxi¬ 
milian’s troops, has at last proved true. They 
entered it on the 15th of August. 
The other Imperial victory was the occupation 
of the town of Hermoeillo, a place less than 
9,000 Inhabitants, which the Republicans had 
previously evacuated. 
These affairs, though of no great importance, 
were being made much of in celebrations by the 
Imperialists, and a special steamer had been 
sent to France to convey the intelligence of 
them, and yet this affair is insignificant com¬ 
pared with the success of the Liberals at 
Tcliuacan. 
The N. Y. Commercial’s Washington special 
of the 18th inst., Ahs the accounts from Mexico 
respecting the prospects of the Republic are 
becoming very gloomy. 
Many Mexicans who adhered to the Republic, 
became discouraged on hearing of the reduction 
of Sheridan’s army in Texas, and arc making the 
best terms they can with Maximilian. 
Without an imr yhliate supply of men and 
money from the umTcH States, the Liberals 
must abandon the contest. The Administra¬ 
tion, however, will neither suffer the neutrality 
laws to be violated, nor will they go to war for 
an idea. 
In view of the prospects of the establishment 
of the Empire, the subject of frontier defences 
is now receiving the special attention of the 
Government. 
The last quarter qfmr present volume will begin 
Oct. 7 — a favorable time J'or renewals, or for new 
subscriptiOTts to commence. Subscribers whose terms 
expire with this quarto' will find the Xo. of the 
paper (Xo. 81 9) printed after their names on address 
labels. We trust all such will promptly renew, and 
also bring new recruits to swell the ranks of the Ro- 
hAL Brigade. 
j n order to introduce the RuitAL to more 
general notice and support , and give non-subscribers 
an opportunity to test its merits by a three months' 
reading, we propose to and do hereby offer the 18 
numbers of the ensuing Quarter, (Oct, to Jan.) on 
trial, at only 50 cents. Will our friends every¬ 
where advise their frimds of this offer? Many 
thousands would no doubt gladly avail themselves of 
if. if notified or invited to subscribe. Reader, please 
do us and your neighbors the favor to talk to them 
on the subject. BAo steps aboard Vu good ship

tions of agriculture. One gentleman in Charles¬

persevering and industrious. But some appre¬ 
hensions are entertained that the climate bo 
far south will operate unfavorable on their 
health. __

servatives.” Wade Hampton and several ex- 
rebel officers, were elected. 
A very satisfactory Interview occurred a few 
days ago between Gov. Perry and Generals Gil¬ 
more and Meade. The interview resulted in the

those of persons of color. The latter are to 
remain for the present under the cognizance of

additional details of much interest regarding 
the war between the Republic of Paraguay on

President Lopez had taken command of the 
Paraguayans in person, but was moving more 
cautiously, owing to several cheeks which his 
troops had received. The allies claim that the 
Paraguayans were almost annihilated in the 
battle of Kuehelo, between Paraguay and Brazil. 
The armies of the contending powers were 
in motion, aud all kiuds of military preparations 
were in progress in every direction, but until 
the rain and cold gave place to more iavorablc 
yveather, it was thought no decisive campaign 
would be commenced. There were 17,000 Bra¬ 
zilians iu the field.

Great Fire In Augiixla. 
A DiSFATiTi.ftom Augusta, Me., of the 17th 
inst., says the most destructive fire that ever 
occurred in Maine swept through this city this 
morning. The entire business portion of the 
city, extending from the passenger bridge to 
Winthrop street and from the river t«i above the 
railroad track, is a smoking mass of ruins. The 
fire broke out iu the new wooden building on 
Water street, into which the occupant moved 
only yesterday, and spread rapidly in all direc¬ 
tions. The most energetic efforts of the firemen 
could only confine it to the limits above men¬ 
tioned. 
Every lawyer’s office iu the city, all the banks, 
two hotels, the post office express and telegraph 
offices, all the dry goods stores in the city, the
