tout historic. Evidently it is as poorly
equipped as it i well fed, thouRh on parade
certain rrtrlments are remarkably present
able and impressive. The rations are a pof
tsourri of all sorts, a floating dish of mixed vec
ta.hle element called puchero, and pprlmps au
ata podrida of Home sort, and other tutors un
stinted: tne whole belli? plentifully seasoned
ulih the torture of red pepper or chile, preatly
xelUhed, hoever, by the Mexcan soldiers,
fctioes are scarce, and sandnls common, show
ing that the Mexicans, like other patriots, hive
bud to march barcloot to glory and to liberty.
At the review held yesterday, in honjr of his
Jixceliency, Mr. Romero, the troops ap
peared to decided advantage, cvolvinpc
handhomcly on the plain outside ot
town, their small arms are of the
Entield and Pprinttoeld patterns: and the
hpnc ot their field-pieces are the mule Runs cap
tured Irom the Austrlans. their other armament
being; mutnly too heavy lor neici, ana especially
moun am bervice. Urev and blue coats, yellow
epaulets, white breast-otraps, arid chusseur caps
were their unilorm too much by half, sinoe the
best and cheapest ULiform is next to none at
il. But the siuiDlicitv of tue Mexican, ranic and
file is loud of colors thouph with no treaier
-neukuees in this respect than some of their
commanders. The Geueral's etad appeared in
gold enihtoidercd Jackets, gold-laced caps, silver-laced
red pantaloons a stvleof wear un
kindly coutrastios: wiih the poverty of the pri
vate soldiers; but these precious equipments
were captured irom tne trench, the Vom-mander-in-Chief.
in his simple suit of erev,
was as modestly dressed as possible. His
inlantry, I am told, receive 35 ceaU per day;
cavahy, 65, owniug their horses not so bad
-naues. consldenna the needs of the Mext-
can Government. As for the moral and
vhvsinae of the troops, I can but jutgs
mberficiallv. 'i'hev Hre dark-faced, and mostly
Indians, officxeu by Mexicans, so-called. Ke?u
ar features aie very rare among them. As a
rule the faces indicate only pnvsical intelli
geuce, which is but another way of saying that
Aletico has lew schools, and that her Indiuiid
are lenorant. Their physique, however is of
the toughest and most durable sort, well made
for mountain matches, tropic suns, muirtv
road. With education such men might become
all that could be oe'ired in soldier: nor need
this education be military, for the wurline spirit
appears to be suprrabunuant in Mexico. I am
sot too tnr surprised at bearing General Diaz .-ay
that he has marcued some of his troop more
thau iifij miles in a tingle day, a march ua
iuowuat the Nrth. You must measure this
fact by the sandalled feet ol tbelndiaus. They
ar not only the greatest walkers, but the great
est trotieis in the wo.ld.
Let me speak of General Porflrlo Diaz,
sometimes called the Grain of Mexico. By the
accord of all parties, he is, undoubtedly, the
bent and bravest soldier, one ot whom the
Liberal cause and teaching may well bo proud.
Yet, except In bis simplicity of manners and in
an absence of official vanity and duplicity, you
will have no notion of his character or person
by comparison with the s.merican Chief. His
ability is especially active and executive. In
the North he might have made one ot the most
Eopular and brilliant corps commander; but
is countenance gives no instant impression of
the very high position which he occupies as a
puDlic roan in Mexico, mis want 01 leauire
has been the objection made to him at every
step ot his career; so, too, perhaps it has been
with the subtle und patient President ot Mexico;
tout both men have won their due in spue ot
appearuuees. His line, nervous Jnme, excel
lent mature, cropped head, keen eyes, thin nose,
rather narrow lace, ana countenance at an
angle, convey, if anything, the picture of a
soldier one who pursues rather than retreats.
By all acknowledgment he U a man wuhoat
pretense, and whut he has won he has won
locestly and thorouehly. Some points of his
biography will not De ami6s.
General Diaz is now thirty-seven years old,
having been a BolJier lor twelve years. Ho was
a collegian with Romero, Beintes, and some
other well known Mexicans, in the college at
Oaxaca, of which Benito Juarez was President.
He was at one time, therefore, a pupil of the
Chief Magistrate ot Mexico, ot whom heisa per
sonal friend. He has been prelect of one ot the
Oaxaca districts, and for a brief time deputy to
Congress, prior to becoming which he dad been
a lawyer. The crisis ot the recent war found
him near Oaxaca, whence with an Inferior force
of men he took the city, havinn previously with
300 men defeated about live times his number.
Froin this point proceeds the most brilliant
chapter in the career ot General Diaz. With
the arms won at Oaxaca, he marched with an
augmented army through Hie valley In the
direction of Put bla, whete two years betoiehe
had assisted against the French the brave Geue
xals Zarngoza and Llave, who were the real
heroes ot Puebla, and not General Ortega.
Seated near Puebla, and for a moment in doubt
whether its strong garrison would come out to
attack him, he hesitated whether to attacic
the garrison boldlytr march to meet & lorce of
4000 or 6000 men, a number equal to bis
own which, uuder Marquez. were oming
to relieve the garrison. His troops were
at this time in rags, and even with a
train of artillery which joined him from
Oaxaca, his armament did not exceed thirty
pieces against 150 of the enemy. It was alter
having deceived his enemy outside of the wall
by a le nt upon the city ot Mexico, that Diaz
began his operations auaiust Puebla, without
once retrograding au iuch. After tweuty-oue
days of actions, more or less severe, he ordered
a DEal assuult, thirteen columns of troops at
tacking the fame iid ruber of points in the peri
meter of the eneinj's lomucations. The assault
wo carriod on in the came direction as that
irom which Marshal Forey commenced his
operations that; is to say, the West, U being
next to imnosf-ihle to caiiture the hish and
steep Mrongholds g iarding the tront roads
namely, Forts GuuJaloupe and Loreto, Diaz
succeeded in capturing the rear defenses of the
town, and there Installed, cut tbe forts off from
water and compelled their surrender. It wan a
daring and almoi-t desperate action, the nio'st
oniiunt perlormed ny any Mexican in me iaio
War. With his thinned torces, Diaz could not
at onco risk a battle with the fresh troops of
Marqnez, but his pursuit ol this ferocious leuder
wasjas tueetive a any pitched battle. He
forced him into Mexico wlih tne loss of all his
trains, and ouu-thud of his array killed,
wounded, or prisoners. There he suut him up,
aud after two months of siege, during wh.r.h
the Inhabitants snttHrod the rams of fauin'?
and the cruelty of Maique).., compelled the city'a
surrender with little or u0 loss o life. This
victory was highly appreciated, as tt showed
prudence and moderation lu tne commander.

ago' the Oncrul whs mairied to a lady whose

DRAMATIC A3 IWJSICftL IWES-
Th IUwr-oM's ATirirK iCiDKMY op Music
Id lbete luttrr das ol the world, the soenc of
ths tymnat and acribat has, as a general
thlnt-, fallen Into the hands of a clas ot persous
who v resent bit little cl dm upon the co inte
ranc .and encouragement of toe public. When,
thnefove, we Hud thrown open to ns such a rare
and class leal cntertaloment ai Is now presented
by the I'faolou Brothers, we cannot refrain
from gtvot the e'.:C:-,U'.iO more th.
prouiine. The Hanlons are meters of evory
branch of the acrobatic pclenre, and many of
their lets are as original as they are
Btanlini. For downright audacity thsy cer-
tamlv have never been excelled, and rarely. If
ever, equalled by any sinrlar troupe ; of a. cer
tainty we have had no performers ot 'the kind
in hub cuy, tor yenrs pan. wuo Bpuroacn xnera.
The marvellous skill w hich they exhibit in "The
Three Fljing Men ia tho Air," is equalled only
by the danger tacnrred by those who partici
pate lu the feat, life anl Urn) b.-lng boldly
risked and yet not iiskM, for science has
reduced their perilous movements to a
degree of certainty wh'ch Is equivalent
to safety, une ot tne most novel features
of the entertain nierft Is the Man-Frog,
u niyMcrlous creature who dives about beneath
the wa'cr. while luxuriating In tobacco smoke.
In addition to the intelligent bdngs who parti
cipate in the evening's entertainment are a
number of dogs whose quaint performances are
almost equal to thoso of their masier. Atto
cef her, au evening Ciunot be more entertam
inply, and foarcely more profltaoly, cpent tuan
at the Academy of -Music during the present
engagement of the Hanlon.
At the Chksnct Street Tubatrb the fairy
spectacle of VtnarU on still hulls its sway de
servrdly. A number of modldcailons la the
drama is plated la-t winter have been made, to
its decided improvement. The thread of the
f-tory is the ever popular romance of "Cinde
rella, and the Little Glass Sliuper," with which
the tfritUiRtist has takeu cou-iilerable liberties,
placing Cinderella's lather in the unenviable
position of a hen-pecked huband, whoe tribu
lations hdd not a little to tbe interest of the
lomnncc. While the chief attraction of the play
consols in tho bniler which figures so promi
nently in it, there is still considerable opportu
nity for the legitimate drama, wuich is almost
lacking in the ruinous Black Crook.
At tub Arch Street Theatre tho delightful
drama of furs will continue the attraction
dnrmtr the remainder ot the week. The vivid
ihunder-t-torm aud the picturesque uiooullgut
march have lost none of their original altrao
tiverees. This evening Mrs. John Drew will
txke a uenetit us "Mary Netlev" in Ours, and at
the matinee and evening performances to-morrow,
the S'ime will be presented for the last
times'. Ou aionday evening next, according to
the nnnonnce'neijt, long since male, Colonel
Fitzecrald's tie w IrK-b drama of L glita'- Las'; or,
The Madow on the Cascnvitf, will bo produced,
aud curiosity will be put at rest.
At the Walnut Street Theatre Miss Lucille
Wei-teru is still eugaved in .serving up East
Lynne to ite unwearied admirers of tnat
i ever ending t-ensatinn. This eveulna she will
take a benefit, and Jiast Lynne will, as usual, be
the attraction.
At tub American Thhatre the holiday week
Is being characterized by even more than the
customary variety ot eUiertaintng performances.
A malinee is given to-miirrow afiernoou.
At the Seven in Street Opera House Santa
Claua made his aonearaiice on Christmas even
ine, and he has not jei disappeared. The Into-
restof the entei.tainment ts greatlv Increased
by the lavlsbness with .vu ch Old Kickscttters
his 10)8 amous tbe audience. This evening Mr.
William Allen will take a becebt.
At Conoebt Hall the Morris Brothers' troupe
of minstrels have been perforninir throughout
tbe week to la tire audiences, whom they have in
no cac failed to please.
Sacred Concerts on Sundat Eveninq. The
first of a certes of Sacrea Concerts on Sanday
evenings will tab? place at Concert Hall on
next Sunday eventne. the 29th instant, under
the direction of Mark Hasslor, and the prepara
tions are being conducted ou a very grnul scle.
It will be one ot the finest musical reuutou
that has taken glace in the city tor many years.
Mr. Ilaseler has foriunately effected an engage
ment with the great prima donna couralto M'me
Klifa Luraley, lately arrived from Europe, who
ha taken prominent parts in the grand operas
of PariP, Milan, Lonnon, and other European
cities Madame Luml?y bus had tbe bouor to
sing beoie a number of the crowned heads of
Europe, and us an oratorio singer she stands
unrqualled, A grand orchestra of fifty first
class performers has been engaged, and a choice
programme ot sacred gems has been prepared,
which will be found in another column. The
Home Mis-lonary Society will be tbe recipients
ol the entire net proceeds of tbe first concert.
