PaUxs AwaT.—Tbe old fire watchman's tower on the CityHall, having been rendered useless by the adoption of a more modern and better system. was 1 yesterday taken to piece.-, lowered to the street and carted away, and is now numbered among tbe thirgt of old San Francisco, that were but are not. For many a long rear the eratebmen have sat in that loftyobservatory, to signal the breakinrout ot a oonflagratioa in any part of tbe ciiy. Through summer « dust and heat and winter's rains, by day a&d night, the old tower ha* been occupied, and the watchman ha« been ever vigilantat his port. Now all iseha&ged.

Arrival of the "Sonora " New ToEg, September 17th.— The TWlvne's Mat- amoras correspondent, August 2M, says the term of office of President Juarei expires on tbe 30th of November mil. Among the men of the Liberal party General Ortog% is said to be a very fit man for the p'aoe. At the erbis h* will find himself beset with ail sort! of wants, fir't among which is mpnev. Tha treasory ani army cheats are empty. Illsfirst care willbe to fill them; than raise a for- eign force of from ten to twenty thousand m/n, aa.'Qt which a native army of from thirty to fifty thousand may be raised. The friends of tne Liberal cause in tbe North ar* in hones that Gen. Ortega has been able to do something in New York. Th* same correspondent, writing from Camargo, saya the Liberal torce under orders of Gen. Etoamba4o has coma to this place after > harp fiahting with the enemy near the San Juan river, resulting in a de- teat to them of some consequence. Gen. Eseambado marched t j attack a bedy of men escorting a conduct of specie guing from Mon- tory in the direction of Matamoras. Tho e«oort left the train at Ci4 villa to march to the aid of Mat- juiori', which the officer in command heard was being attacked by a strong force ofLiberals on the 16th. It was attacked bya column of 4.003 (?) men. whom Gen. Ksoambado detached from huaamp. Is the pursuit tbe enemy ware drawn npon the I'ft bank of the cUn Juan river, at a ,<on called Pasco do Lieobiat. His lorce consisted of about 80 of ail arms, with a half battery. After four nour«' fight they were driven from the position and 1 Ht to flight. They saved their artillery, and only a small body, which oonld not oxoeid ;(U men. kept its order. Among the dead which remained on thefield were found :tne later.bel Gen. Parsoas and six of his men. One hundred and forty prisone. s were taken by tbe Liberal foroe, and oar loads of arms, pro- tliions and amnnition. Ona hundred stand of «r jbj were gathered npon the field. The less ofthe Libe- ral force was one ecmmindarit and six men killed, and two Commandants, fire officers aad forty-five men wounded. It is pos-ible n*w for a large feroe to he gathered along tbe line of th*Han Jnaa river, and itis likelythe force under Gen, Negrete will noweome down to unite with that in aad about here, in which owe a force of 7.-.W men could concentrated. This would ba strong enough for an attack upon tbe enemy at Matamorai. Inthese t«o placet a million anda half of dollars eoold be raised. With tbat the Liberal Generals would have meins to increase their forces and march against other points. A Matamora* oorrerpondent of tbe 25th cays: We learn from a direct sturoe that the foroe un- der orders of General K.-cambado amounts to about twenty-five hundred me*, fiv*hnotred ef whom ar* in Camargo, under General Ejotanora. That Plan is at present the headquarters of the foroe*. A pixty of twenty-one yanng men. who had been in 'he United States ia tae Ute rebellhn. went up to Cauargo yesterday, along with Oeneral Eaoam- bado ani Staff, to serve as officers ia the Liberal army. A legion of five thousand men could be easily rairtd far the came. There is a want »i am- mun.tion feltby the force* inthe Korth; they hav- ing only one huadred thousand roundj of ball car- tridges, an* about five hundred thouiand caps. This would give only fifty rounds for eaoh man. and there is a great deal of firing ia Mexican warfare A figat of seven hours' duration would spend it.

We learn that orders hare been re- rdved for tbe incorporation of the enluttd men of the Third Artillery, now here, in the Seoond Kegi- ment. The officers of the Third will be sent East as .-uun af th* arrangement* can be completed. The Second ttegimuit naf done gallant aervice throogE- ont the war, participating in many a hard fought f.ght.

They have behaved finely throughout the whole trip,even under the moat annoying and try- ing cirrnmstanees. and we may safely conclude that they willdo credit to the uniform .hey wear in the future as they have dnne in the pan.

The transition ol this regini.nt acror* the Isthmus was properly managed. Th* American Consul came on board and stating to Cren. French that he had been ar.Ti<>> ed by the conduct cf the Fourteenth Infantry while on shore at AFi'inwalL out of which rerious trouble had threatened to grow, desired that the ve.«el be anchored in the stream antil morning, instead of coming alongside the wharf. This reu.uet>t wa? complied with, and no trouble whatever ocur- red during the crossing, next day. They complain ereatly of the la**k of accommodations on board the iwiwra, bo bunks having been provided lor them, and tick women, children and men beinr huddied together in a manner by no means according to the common rules of propriety. Twice a ter leaving Panama, before getting one hundred miles on her trip, the Sonora had to put back for rcpai s, first from springing a leak, and then from her machin- ery getting Out of order. She enoountered rough weather on the trip, waich was anything but a pleasant oa«. CITY ITEMS. The Convention, in evening session, listened to resolutions read by E. Casserly, Chairman of Com- mittee of Fifteen. The first rejoices at the cessation of the rebellion, and trusting that the lessons will inspire greater reverence for our institutions amongst all the people of the States. The second, that Democracy will, in the future, as inthe past, give its cordial support to the Administration in all its Constitutional functions. Third, opposition to negro suffrage and its inevitable result, the social equality of the negro, and also unqualified opposi- tion to thrusting, by Congress, universal suffrage on the negroes of the South. Fourth, fostering ofmin- ing interests and opposition to sale or taxation of minea. Fifth, ofusing gold and silver currency and enforcements of contracts payable in coin. Sixth, endorsing the Monroe Doctrine as the essential pol- icy of the Government. Seventh, opposition to ar- bitrary military arrests when the civil powers are in operation, and for sustaining inviolable the writ of habeas corpus.

Arrivalof the "Sonora" New ToEg, September 17th.— The TWlvne's Mat-

amoras correspondent, August 2M, says the termof office of President Juarei expires on tbe 30th ofNovember mil. Among the men of the Liberalparty General Ortog% is said to be a very fit manfor the p'aoe. At the erbis h* will find himselfbeset with ail sort! of wants, fir't among which ismpnev. Tha treasory ani army cheats are empty.Illsfirst care willbe to fillthem; than raise a for-eign force of from ten to twenty thousand m/n,aa.'Qt which a native army of from thirty to fiftythousand may be raised. The friends of tne Liberalcause in tbe North ar*in hones that Gen. Ortegahas been able to do something in New York. Th*same correspondent, writing from Camargo, sayathe Liberal torce under orders of Gen. Etoamba4ohas coma to this place after >harp fiahting with theenemy near the San Juan river,resulting in a de-teat to them of some consequence.

Gen. Eseambado marched tjattack a bedy ofmen escorting a conduct of specie guing from Mon-tory in the direction of Matamoras. Tho e«oortleftthe train at Ci4villa tomarch to the aid ofMat-juiori', which the officer in command heard wasbeing attacked bya strong force ofLiberals on the16th. Itwas attacked bya column of4.003 (?)men.whom Gen. Ksoambado detached from huaamp.Is the pursuit tbe enemy ware drawn npon theI'ft bank of the cUn Juan river,at a ,<on calledPasco do Lieobiat. His lorce consisted of about80 of ail arms, with a half battery. After fournour«' fight they were driven from the positionand 1Ht to flight. They saved their artillery,andonly a small body, which oonld not oxoeid ;(Umen.kept its order.

Among the dead which remained on thefield werefound :tne later.bel Gen. Parsoas and six ofhismen. One hundred and forty prisone. s were takenby tbe Liberal foroe, and oar loads of arms, pro-tliions and amnnition. Ona hundred stand of «r jbj

were gathered npon the field. The less ofthe Libe-ral force was one ecmmindarit and six men killed,and two Commandants, fire officers aad forty-fivemen wounded. Itis pos-ible n*wfora large feroeto he gathered along tbe lineofth*Han Jnaa river,and itis likelythe force under Gen, Negrete willnoweome down to unite with that in aad abouthere, in which owe a force of 7.-.W men couldconcentrated. This would ba strong enough for anattack upon tbe enemy at Matamorai. Intheset«o placet a millionanda half of dollars eoold beraised. With tbat the Liberal Generals wouldhave meins to increase their forces and marchagainst other points.

A Matamora* oorrerpondent of tbe 25th cays:We learn from a direct sturoe that the foroe un-

der orders ofGeneral K.-cambado amounts to abouttwenty-five hundred me*, fiv*hnotred ef whomar* in Camargo, under General Ejotanora. ThatPlan is at present the headquarters of the foroe*.Apixtyof twenty-one yanng men. who had beenin 'he United States ia tae Ute rebellhn. went upto Cauargo yesterday, along with Oeneral Eaoam-bado ani Staff, to serve as officers ia the Liberalarmy. A legion of five thousand men could beeasily rairtd far the came. There is a want »i am-mun.tion feltby the force* inthe Korth; they hav-ing only one huadred thousand roundjof ball car-tridges, an* about five hundred thouiand caps.This wouldgiveonly fiftyrounds foreaoh man. andthere is a great deal of firingia Mexican warfareA figat of seven hours' duration would spend it. Ihave reasen to think that an attack will soon bemade npon this place."

The second,that Democracy will, in the future, as inthe past,giveits cordial support to the Administration inallits Constitutional functions. Third, opposition tonegro suffrage and its inevitable result, the socialequality of the negro, and also unqualified opposi-tion to thrusting, byCongress, universal suffrage onthe negroes ofthe South. Fourth, fostering ofmin-ing interests and opposition to sale or taxation ofminea. Fifth, ofusing gold and silver currency andenforcements of contracts payable in coin. Sixth,endorsing the Monroe Doctrine as the essential pol-icy ofthe Government.
