and the lutiinu taking the sugar of JMaes
Hryarly, who has been & soldier since July,
1861, and has not yet returned. All ms
means, the result of some years of close ap-!
plication to business, bad, during his ab.
sence, been invested by his uncle In this
sugar, as a safe investment. It has all
been swept away by thieves. We under-
stand that an officer of that bloodless body,
the reserve corps, who never faced a more
dangerous enemy than these sugar barrels,
has been prominent in the actioQ—a per-
fect Rob Roy "of a depredating chieftain.
On Wednesday last, these heroes cap-
tured a wagon load of sugar which had
been purchased of Mr. Bryarly's agent,
his uncle, by real soldiers, just returned
from their commands—men who had not
been fed regularly on sugar, but some-
what on lead; and these heroes of victo-
rious campaigns against private property,
pounced upon and divided it; being first
lully warned by the returned soldier in
charge of it, who it belonged to.
There arc all around us living memo-
rials, that soldiers are not generally
thieves, and they will take occasion soon
to demonstrate that faot—possibly at the
serious expense and discomfiture of the
heroes of the sugar fights. Some cases of
unauthorized taking of property, are be-
ing investigated here this morning; and
■ he men backing the investigation are sol-
diers, with anus in their hands.
The sugar men may come around in turn
pretiy shortly, uuless they return the
iruits ot their depredations.
F.orn I be New Orleans Times.
Johnston, Leij and Stepiikxs Asking
rok. 1'akdon.—-Our telegraphic news this
morning is of great importance. It ap-
pears that Generals Edward Johnston and
Robert E. Leo and Alexander H. Stephens
have applied to President Johnson for
purdon under the terms of the amnesty
proclamation. It is one of the encourag-
iug sign* of the times that men so promin-
ent in tbe Confederate movement should,
at such an early date, como forward to
inke the new amnesty oath, and thus show
a disposition to resume, if permitted, their
duties as citizens of the United States.
Attorney General Speed's recent official
announcement that all applications for
special pardon must be accompanied by a
certificate that the applicant has taken tbe
ath required by the President's procla-
mation, leaves little room for doubt on
< tlat head. Their cases will be a test of
ine purposes of the President concerning
i wo classes of citizens who have opposed
the Government, of the United States : the
leading military and civil officers of the
rebellion. Neither Lee nor Stephens was
an original secessionist, and the latter was
looked on with great distrust by many lead-
ing Confederates. Their example in at-
tempting to renew their allegiance is wor-
thy of the highest commendation, and we
among strangers, is quite woll understood.
Of course all who shall determine to make
their homes in the country will be of the
more intelligent class—such, for instance as
have been marked ior the influence and sup-
port given to the Confederate cause, and
who could expect nothing but persistent
persecution should they remaiu in the Con-
federacy.
It will be safe to conclude that, with hero
and there an exception, Americo-Mexican
residents entertain strong Confederate pro-
clivities and, sympathies. In fact, it can-
not be otherwise, or they would not have
banished themselves rather than submit to
the yoke of subjugation. And entertain
ing such sympathies, in so deep a degree
they cannot possibly feel anything but
abhorence at tho thought of Northern fili-
busters coming down on the, land of their
adoption.
What the Confederacy was to them while
there, Mexico will be to them now that
they are here. Their feelings toward the
power that wrested from them their dear-
est liberties, will be continued, but in an
intensified type, since they have no coun-
try to flee to should Mexico, like the Con-
federacy, be overrun.
Their hopes of the old constitution being
dead; satisfied with Yankee Itepublican-
ism; determined never to live under tha
flag from which they fled, it is but reason-
able to suppose that their moral, and il
need be, physical support, would be given
to the constitutional, Mexican Empire
Government of Maximilian.
Cut having tasted the fruits of civi{
war; having seen its horror? in every
possible foTm, the Americo Mexican resi-
dents would do nothing to encourage war
between the United States and this coun-
try, but should war come, they c^uld not
heeitate in giving all their assistance to
the young and peace-promising Empire.
The Monitor, of the 3d, recapitulates
thus the circumstances of the evacuation
of Brownsville by Gen. Slaughter :
On the 2'Jth ult„ the Confederates
abandoned Brownsville. They had been
expecting Col. Benavides, but as he did
not arrive, they left in small squads, some
to the interior and 'some towards Davis'
Ranch, Roma, Loredo, etc. The Federals
did not come in until daylight next day.
Gen. Slaughter did not leave until late,
and was escorted here by some Mexican
troops. His family sought an asylum
here.

The Shreveport Southwestern says : A
squad of Federal soldiers went to the res-
idence of Mr. M. Baer, fi miles from Shreve
port, on the opposite side of the river, on
Sunday night, at a late hour; they demand-
ed the key of his safe, entered it, and stole
several hundred dollars. They alBo robbed
a stranger, stopping with Mr. Baer, of his
gold watch and all the money in his pos-
session, which was only a few dollars.
This bold and outrageous robbery was
reported to Gen. Herron, who has tried to
trust, that it way be largely followed. The I discover the perpetrators of the base deed

tlieflanonero of the V)th, Le Commerce of
t>om ♦ith to 9th, Monitor delay Frontera
of the 3d, giving ns some interesting par-
ticulars and clearing up ppst statements.
The Imperial Mexican troops under Gen.
Lopez had re-taken Camargo after a brief
resistance. He then marched on Laredo.
Vidal taken—to be tried as a spy.
Capt. Yidal, who had been in the Con-
federate service, but revolted a couple of
years ago and killed quite a number, waB
captured while making his way down the
river on the steamboat Alamo. The boat
was at Camargo at the time, and while the
officers were making their rounds, verify-
ing the paseenger list, one stateroom Was
found closed and the occupant refused to
open. Tho door was forced and Vidal
found therein. He was thought to be on
his way to hold a confab with Cortina, at
the ranch e of the mother of the latter, on
tbe Texas side.
we know not with what success.
- The late conflagration in Kioumond de-
veloped a curious incident and faot, which
may .be valuable,'if remembered. Some
week ,wr ten days 'after the fire, the iron
safe of the Enquirer office was opened
when, immediately on the admission of
the air, the books and papers were ignited
and consumed. And such was the case
of all crtber safes which were not in brick
vaults.

The story, published by some papers
here that Benavides and his Mexican-Con-
federate aoidiers went to Brownsville just
before Gen. Slaughter left it, and com-
pelled the latter to procure some specie in
Matamoros to pay them, under threats of
violence, is not confirmed by these ad-
vices. On the contrary, the Commercio
of the 0th, says Vhis of Benavides:
At soon as the news of the disbandment
of the Confederates in Brownsville reached
Davis' Rancho, a great alarm broke out in
* the little village, and preparations were
made to send all valuables to San Antonio.
Colonel Benavides, of the Confederate
States army, who happened to be in the
vicinity, immediately offered the inhabi-
tants, merohants, etc., to defend tbe post,
their property and valuables, as long as
his two hundred aaen could hold.
The offer was thankfully accepted, and
by spontaneou s and general resolutions,
the sum of $800 was subscribed, and of-
fered in cash to those noble patriots, in
<ukoa of the gratitude of the inhabitants
1 r their fidelity to good order and dis-
cipline.
Tuesday evening last, Col. Benavides
was yet in command of Davis Rancho, ex-
pecting an advance of the Federals. -
The Ranchero gives its Mexican neigh-
bors the following statenlent of the motives
and objects of the Confederates who have
taken refuge in Mexico.
There arc thousands of Americans resid-
ing on this frontier, and thousands more
are arriving and to arrive. Ofthose already
here probably no more than one-third con-
template permanent residence in Mexico.
But the exiles now on the way here from the
Southern States, We, one and all, in search
of homes, peace, stability. The object in
leaving their own country, to cist'tnrtHot

Of the merits of this book we need not speak. The
surprising demand It hsx met with Is satfldeLt evi-
dence of its popularity. We shall endeavor to keep
pace with the demand. The present edition cm,

however, no additional cost. Price, $20 per 100; >3

Although these b >oks are prepared with a view to
