Ina former letter, I made mention of the
Wickeduess and corruption that prevail in this
Capital. As I have extended my sphere of
acquaintance, [ have become conscious that
languaze caunot du justice to the subject. It
is appalling; it is sickening, Talk about
otticial corruption in your country! Why, my
dear Sir, you are ignorant of the firat elements
of poitical vice. Introduce me to the most
corrupt knave that ever held olfice in your
country, I will take him cordially by the hand
and say to lim: ** My friend, your moral worth
is not properly appreeiated where youare. Go
to Washington—maintain the same standard of
morals there that you do here, and you will be
considered a very paragon of homesty aud
virtue.”’ ‘The: great majority of politicians
here would sell honor and friends, change their
polities or their religion, or perform any other
act of despicable meanness and wickeduess, for
the sake of promoting their own personal
interest. Judas sold his Master for thirty
pieees of silver; there are thousands bere that
would sell him for two-thirds of that amount,
and chuckle over the transaction as an ‘ex.
cellent trade.’’ My residence in Washington has
had a very different etfect on me from what my

The disregard for human life in the United |

Hornisce Ceverty.—While the prosecution
of the {udian war is imbecile, ineffectual, and
upon the whole thoroughly disgraceful to the
couatry, some wearers vf the Uypited States
shoulder straps are distinguishing themselves by
acts of brutality which could nut be surpassed
by the savages they ure sent to fight. At Fort
Sedzwiek «stranger named Hendricks 1 pop reed
ed for two persons in citizens’ dress, ,ad at their
request, a bottle of whiskey. The men were

lashes: A creature of Dodze—one Lieutenant

tion of the seuteace. Hendricks was stripped
and fastened to sw rudely made cross. Iwo
soldiers armed with plaited thongs, were order-
ed to whip the unfortunate man, and, under
the watchtul eye of Lieut. Luntz, they did whip
him vigurously. *A broad, deep red wale
marked the spot on which the lash had fallen,
but in a second it was lost to sight by strokes
which fell thick and fast va the unfortunate
man. Gradually the deep red wales assumed
a blackish color, aud in # short time crimson
drops of blood rolled down the naked legs,
filling his shoes, or were splashed over the
the clothes of the spectators. Toward the
seventy-titth stroke, the flesh sarowad the hips
hung in shreds, as if rudely tora by au animal's
claws. From the iniddle of the buck to with-
‘in six inches of the kaees, the budy was per-

This is a fearfal picture, and perhaps over-
drawn. But Escobedo in his Queretaro let-
ter said that he ‘* he had made terror every-
where the order of the day,” and hoped to
vee the ‘*blood of every foreigner spilt.”
The citizen President, himself bolding the
office only by the strong arm, talke of rebels
in arms against the * legitimate Govern-
ment,” asif he represented the popular will,
and in his ambition to estabdlis) an Indian
empire in Mexico, there is oo telling to what
extremities he may go in following out the
line indicated by Escobedo. A
journal, £1 Pajaro Rogo (the Red Bird, wa
wnti-church paper), has w long article by
Altamirano, a mewber of the Cabinet of Jua-
rez, in which the intervention of the United
States and their right to solicit clemency for
Maximilian are repudiated. We quote 4
few paragraphs :—

Woe cannot deny that the people of the United
States have wxpressed un enduring sympathy
for our cause. We can but recognize the moral
influence which auch a sympathy tas bad upon
the sulution of cae Mexican question, We do
vot think we owe to the United States such a
debt of gratitude that we should feel obliged to
sacrifice tu ite repayweut one of the most noble
attributes of our sovereign power. Far trou it.
It is weli known that weral inftuence is the only
aseiatunce that Nerth America has offered us.
We can say, with pride and for the honor of our
country, that we have triumphed by our own
might, that the victory over Kuropean interven-
tion Was won by the sons of Mexico unaided, and
that they have occasion toe remember vritber the
troops ver the artus nor the money of our veigh-
bors. We believe that a vation that has tought
uke ours has acquired the right to be respected
by the powerful, when she heracif is a Power.
We believe that we are now ina period of great-
ness and majesty, and that we must reply to
others in the same tone in which they address us,
and greet with a sive or disdain the threats that

Mexico.—A special despatch to the Ne

| Says :
| The Raleizh, hence for Havana,
} board
ifrom Vera Cruz via Mobile, and now go to
| Havana with the view of remaining there until
they have an opportunity to join some Mexican
| chieftan at enmity with Juarez.
| Among them are Major Herron and Dar-
nings Bureau. The later was military com-
| missary at Vera Cruz. They declare that they |
will remain in Mexico and avenge Maxi-)
milian's death; that a few days will see a!
powerful chieftain at the head of a large anti-
| Juarez party, and the remuant of the Austriaus
'will reudezvous at Havaua, from which point
| they will return to Mexico.”
Another despatch to the same paper, of the
same date, from Washington, is « fullows :—
‘* A private and informal gathering of about

forty persons, principally foreigners and ex-
confederates, took place last evening to discuss
the project of raising s company of volunteers
for Mexico, and to join what, it is generally

has on!

tering expedition for that country. The com-
pany, to be called Maximiliau’s avengers, will
number over one hundred picked men. No
steps were taken towards organization,as it was
concluded to await the action at some other
| point first ; it would be preferred at the north.”’

A special despatch from Houstan (Texas)
gives a detailed account of the execution of
Maximilian, Miramon, and Meja. None of the
| prisoners were bound or blindfolded, nor was
jany indignity offered them. Maximilian,
| before being shot, recapitulated the causes that
, brought him to Mexico. He denied the
| authority of the court that tried and sentenced
him, and hoped that his death would stop the
further effusion of blood in Mexico. Just
before he was ied out for the execution he
called out to the sergeant of the guard and!
gave him a handful of gold, and requested as
a favor that the soldiers would. aim at his heart.
His last words were, “ Poor Carlotta.’ Five
balls entered his breast, but these did not kill
him immediately, so two other soldiers were
ordered to shoot kim in the side, in this mau
