■ Tho Rev. Peter Cautiiiout, the pio
neer of Methodism' in tlio West, lectured be
fore the Young Men’s Christian. Association
of Carlisle, on Saturday evening last, in tho
Methodist Church, before a very largo audi
ence. lie is ah eloquent old man—his age
75 —and an enthusiast in his calling. He al
so preached in the. Methodist Church, morn
ing and evening, to largo and attentive audi
ences. His preaching is earnest, and in the
old Methodist stylo—'vehement, denunciator}-,
and persuasive; . ..
Dochmxg Gap.— Mr. A. Koser, of Gettys
burg, has purchased an interest in the. Dou
bling Gup Springs, and vvill shortly remove

of improvements to bo’made' previous to the
opening of the' nest, spring season. A large
expenditure is contemplated vtb make the
place still more attractive. Mr. Knnaga will

' Attempted Robberies.— That our town
contains scores of unmitigated scoundrels, rob-.
Mote, thieves, incendiaries, &ct,lias been made
quite evident of late. On Tuesday and Thurs
day nights of last week, two men (belonging'to
Carlisle, it is holioved,)' proceeded to the house
of Mr.AnK.uiAM lletkich, a.vreaWby man re
siding in North Middleton township, and ut
•tempted to gain admittance into his house.—
The members of the family were in bed am
sleeping, but the noise occasioned b}’ the at
tempt upon the door, roused the inmates, and
the burglars, seeing a light, made a hasty re
treat. On Thursday night subsequent, the
samo men,, as is’supposed, made another, at
tempt to enter the house. This time they ar
rived jnountod on horseback,'and hitched their
horses a few rods from the house. Their noise
again attracted, tho attention of Mr. Hetrick,
who hoisted his chamber window, and deman
ded what tho intruders wanted.; They made
no answer, but fired several shots front a pis
tol at Mr. H., which fortunately, did not hit
him, but broke tho window into pieces, Mr.
Hetrick then got his gun, And'.was preparing
to giro his visitors .a' .warm; reception,)when
they again took to their heels; mounted their
' horses and galloped off. There being snow
upon tho ground, the tracks of tho horses
wero traced to Carlisle the nest morning.—
There is no doubt the horses used by those '
scoundrels belonged to Mr. Egbert Noble,
•who rpsides about a half-mile east of Carlisle.
It was evident, from tho .appearance of two of
liis horses tho next morning, that they had
bison used and well sweated during tho night.
Tho horses had boon returned to their stalls,
hut wore still wot with prespiratiou. Strong
efforts arc being made to ferret out tho mis :
. croants engaged in this fiendish attempt at
murder and robbery.
Another Attempt to Ron.—Early on Fri
day evening last, an attempt was made- to eu
■ ter the watch aud jewelry store of our neigh
bor, Mr. JosepH-U. Steel. The robber was
■ busily engaged in'forcing opoiv the shutter of
tbq roar window,’ when bo was discovered by
. some of the'neighbors, who gave the alarm,
: when the-cowardly whelp ran at the top of his
speed, and escaped. ■
Our citizens cannot lie too careful ih' secn
rihg their .doors, for our town is infested with
wretches who arc capable of committing all
sorts of crimes. It would bo well too, if' eve
ry housekeeper would-provide himself with-a.
good revolver, to ho used when occasion re
quires. .'
■ Oiir virtuous neighbor, the Herald, like
the American, continues to harp upon the
resolutions adopted by the late Democratic
County Convention. It yelps like a whip
ped hound, and indulges in all sorts of fishwo
man slang. It objects to the language of the
resolutions, without attempting to gainsay
their truth. Even the- resolution endorsing
the'administration of Mr, - llucn-AXAN, lacks'
truth and sincerity, in' the' opinion" of onr
•very conscientious neighbor. • AVhat right has
the editor to stigmatize thoforly-four men who
composed the Convention' as falsifiers, who
lacked sincerity? This is a littlc too grave a
charge to come from the quarter it does.. The
editor of the Herald himself voted for Mr. Bu
chanan, and wore it not that ho is now hired
to father the insipid falsehoods of the Herald,
Ifo woultf still, wo have reasons to believe, bo
friendly.to the administration. He to talk of
a want of sincerity, and yet give support to a
party or faction that changes its name and its
tactics every twelve months. Bah!—got out!
Franklin’s birthday, the I7th nit., was
appropriately honored in most of the largo ci

livered his great oration on the great printer
before the Franklin Typographical Society. (
The Slnliilily of Democracy. '
Ever .since' the formation of this govern-
ment, Democracy has been the leading spirit
of the Nation. To its influence may bo justly
ascribed all those glorious institutions, all
those great measures, arid thB conception and.
execution of all those gigfmtic plans of inter
nal improvement which have given us so high
a rank among the powers of the world. In
fact, it and it alone, by its generous impulses,
animated our fathers to resist successfully the
the aggression of foreign tyrrany, and enabled
onr country to break * from the \msightl3
chrysalis of a colonial dependency into the
beauteous form of.n Republic. The self same
spirit which then existed, pure aud noble as
at first, still lives, ns the vital principle of
Democracy to-day. Not one jot or one tittlo
has it changed, cither hr its- outward foim or
in its inner action, untarnished and undefilod,
it still gleams as brightly ns when it first
shone on the revolutionary struggle. Even
now ft new triumph over its enemies is given
it, ami wc behold it standing forth us the as
sertor of constitutional rights and' the pacifi
cator of n nefarimis intestine 1 war.- Its toler
ant and liberal principles cause it to be the
"National Party, beloved hundreds of
thousands in every 'section of the country.
Based on the broad ground of right and equal
ity, it at once receives the.cof.dbtl support of
thousands who*, fleeing from, despotism . at
homo, seek liberty and the natural rights of
man under the protecting folds of our flag.
Entirely national in, its designs it purposes
not to interfere in tiid workings of the differ
ent Stath governments; it allows each to
maintain and cultivate whatever institutions
it thinks conducive to its individual prosperi-
ty. Long has it boon tho .prop and stay of
bur Republic, and as long as its precepts are
hut followed,, so long will it extend to us its
protecting arms and influence. So- says the
Clinton Democrat.
Republican Tactics.
While the leaders in Congress keep, silent,
and persistently vote for Sherman, the endor
ser of Helper, the Committee of the party
have commenced preparatmy operations for
the campaign of iB6O, hy flooding Pennsylva
nia, Now Jersey, Illinois, and IVisconsin,
with Helper’s “Impending Crist/’ and the
New York. Tribune.
Thus it appears that their plan is marked
with the usual duplicity of that party. It is
understood that Sherman and his supporters
are to deny that they approve of the incendi
ary and treasonable doctrines promulgated
hy Helper; that they are to keep silent, lest
hy some accident, if drawn, into debate, they
might say or” admit something that would
compromise that party. In the meantime,
while they are voting, their Committee has
the,work to dop.iind.it must bo admitted that
they'are performing it with great vigor and
an industry worthy of a bettor cause.
The circulation of their documents is greatly
noroaoed, and before Spring, all the Contra!
States will lie flooded. '
Tho antidote for this abolition poison is in
the support and circulation of sound and reli
able Democratic papers.
.... 'She hope of the country is in the' conserve-.
1 live intelligence of the great, tnbhacs of - the \
people,: who are not to bo duped by Abolition
1 fabrications, or, influenced by reckless trading
politicians.
The National Democracy of'tbe North is
sound to.the core; and there will bo founded
withtheni, in the .hour of trial, a largo body
of Northern conservative men, who have here
tofore acted with the' AVhig and American
parties, whoso motto will bo tho same as that
of their Democratic brothorn: “The Union
must and shall bo preserved.”
Con-chess —No Shea her Yet! —Tho Black
Republicans have at length dropped Sherman,
their pet candidate for Speaker; Iloisadead
cock in tho pit. On Monday, two. unsuccess
ful ballots wore had for Speaker, The follow
ing was the vote on the forty-first (tiro last,)

Scattering, ,
■ CoHitrXTiox. —Wo have .received a nolo
from Mr. J. Dorshoimor, doled Mechanics
burg, Jan. 23d, stating that the article in the
last Herald, in reference to a oommitteo in
Virginia, notifying him to leave the Stale, is
■incorrect. Thathe has never boon molested
in any way, and has always boon kindly trea
ted. We can only say that-the report was
current hero and at Mcchauicsburg, and we
gave it for what it was worth. We make the
correction-with' pleasure. —Carlisle Herald.
The i/iu-oW might continue to make “cor
rections,” if it felt disposed, for most of its
litical information is notoriously preposterous,
and erroneous. The story about Mr. Dousn
eimf.ll having hoen notified hy Virginians to
leave that State, and that, in consequence of
this notice, lie .did all this , because
ho had been, soon to . haul a load of guano to
his farm, bore the falsehood upon its face—a
regular fabrication, manufactured from the
whole cloth. But yet this notorious “un
truth” (to use the favorite word of a certain
scribbler for the press in this tor™,) was not
only published but endorsed by the Herald!
Wo are glad Mr. DoasitEiMEß has branded
the whole story false, and compelled the Her
ald to.retract the slander.-
“Why do, not the'treasonable'disunion sen
timents of the Southern Democracy receive
the reproof of Northern democrats.’.’
Carlisle Herald ;
The Southern Democracy have- never ut
tered disunion sentiments, withont'firstqnalify
ing their words. They have said that'if the
Constitution-is to be disregarded, the Fugitive
Slave Law mocked at, Southern States inva
ded, and their citizens shot down like dogs, by
hired minions, thieves and vagabonds boloug
ing'to the Black Republican party, then they
(the Southern people,) prefer a separation
from the North.. Can any honest man cen
sure them, that they thus express themselves ?
We trow not. ■
SiiAUP'PiiACTiCE.— Ponding the discussion
of a bill granting a divorce" in the Nebraska
Legislature, one of the members related an
instance of the sharp practise of a couple res
ident in that Territory. They applied to the
Legislature and obtained a divorce, and im-
mediately the man and wife pre-empted one
hundred and sixty acres of land apiece, and
having proved their title thereto, were mar
ried again the next day, after securing one
hundred.and sixty acres of land by the opera
tion.
TUc Negro Bislurlmnccs in Canada;
The beauties of practical Abolitionism arc
fully illustrated just n<Sw in tho dominions of
her most glorious majesty, Qucon Victoria,
near tho city of Detroit. Wo alluded last
week to some of those outrages, and they still
■continue. ; Canada West has boon for years
tho city of refuge fur ail tho colored outlaws
and rapscallions of the Western continent.—
The negro clement has so increased tho col
ored population in many districts outnumber
ing the white; and Africa, seems determined
to adopt thd principle that majorities shall
rule without regard to color. At Chatham
tho public schools have boon taken possession
of by hundred negroes, tbo white tea
chers and scholars' were driven out. Tho ne
gro inhabitants of the town far outnumber the
whites, and the whole town was in an uproar
in consequence of tho war-Ukc demonstrations
of the negroes. , The Africans demanded that
the schools should not only ho thrown open
to them, but that they should bo allowed to
participate in the management, which, owing
to their numbers, is equivalent to giving them
tlio entire control.
Tho Detroit papers, in speaking of those af
fiiirs, say that tho negroes have hitherto been
allotted schools ntld teachers hy themselves,
the latter being drawn'from their own race,
but.Jlicy declared that they ware as good as
tlio whites, if not hotter, and that they must,
to allowed to send their children to tho white
schools. It was claimed that any superior ad
vantages wore to ho gained hy this arrange
ment, hut the negroes considered it an indig
nity, that, they wore' not plated in immediate
contact wit-li the whites and wpro determined
to compel tlio latter to submit to their socie
ty, and that of their children.
■ At Sandwich, there' Was a disturbance grow
■ ing out of the same cause. The whites, in ap
portioning tho schbol tux, assessed themselves
only, leaving tho negro population out, in or
der that they might not control tlio cause of
education hy their votes at the hallot-box. —
-The negroes wore highly incensed at this, and
went in a body to the polls oh tho occasion of
the election of school officers, determined to
vote. They were resisted and driven away;
and much-ill feeling-and enmity engendered.
. . It will be . seen by all of these indications
that the negro population of our neighboring
province is becoming organized and bold, in
Us opposition to'the legitimate.institutions of
the country, and overbearing and insolent'
towards its rightful citizens. We may safely
say that-the hatred with .which they are. .re
garded in return is not less violent or open
than their-own demonstrations. There are
very few whltcs'living on the hoarders, where
this fugitive race most congregate,.so fanatic
as.to close,thoir eyes to the fact that their im
migration is fast tending towards the demo
ralization of the country. As citizens'they
are worthless to the last degree, while crime
prevails among, them to an ajarming extent,
and swells, tho criminal calendars of tho coun
try, with the most revolting offences—particu
larly with the violation of female chastity.—
With all this in return for the mistaken kind
nesses which have boon offered them, they -
are now 'becoming bold and,violent, and, have \
/dared to resort to the \ugti-\umdcd incafiuro.H \
which wo have recorded, all of which, we.tc-1
ipcat,-nre obviously" tho result of a concerted
FmovebVont among, tho 'great'body, of negroes ,
j inhabiting this portion of the province. Can
' ada has nursed a viper in its bosom, which is
now preparing to turn upon it. The hordes
of blacks'which have for years poured into
its border counties aro beginning to feel thoir
powers, and, if wo mistake not, will give infi
nite 'trouble before they aro again crushed
lown to their proper level.
• Mr. Cochrane, the Republican member of
Congress from Western New York, who. re
cently was sent to the Utica Lunatic Asylum,
is said to bo recovering. Dr. Gray says his
malady arose from having boon.overtaskcd by
Congressional duties.— Hx. ■
When wo consider the vast amount of work
done hy. the present; House of Representa
tives, it need not surprise us if the, powers,
both mental and physical, of all the members,
should bo utterly exhausted. They have been
nearly two months, trying to elect a Speaker,
but the task thus far has been beyond their
powers, and of course they failed.- They go
to the Capitol every.day at noon, and swallow
a most intolerable amount of twaddle, which
occupies them for several hours, when they
adjourn and go to dinner.

The Presidency; —At a. Democratic Con
vention, .held in Joncsborough, Tennessee, on
the Gth ult., the Hon. Andrew Johnson, of
that State was recommended as the preference
of, the Convention for the Presidency of the
United States. The editor of the Jouosbor
ough Unitm endorses the preference warmly,
and in doing so, pays a high compliment to
the Hon. William Bigler, of Pennsylvania,
by naming him in connection with Governor
Johnson,'as the choice of that section for Vied
President. The Union says:
“Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, has,
many of the qualities of Governor Johnson, of
Tennessee. They are both self-made men ;
built from the foundation up of cemented ma
terial of their own merits, and their friends
know upon what to roly. As wo propose to
revert to this matter again, wo will at present
close, ,by announcing our preference for, can
didates in the Presidential canvass the names
of 'Johnson and Bigler.’ ”
B®* Tho lion. Theodore Frelinghuyson,
(writes a New York correspondent of the Ame
rican Reveille,) native of Now Jersey, and now
Chancellor of the University of Now York,
who stood a good chance'fifteen years ago of
being President of the United States, took to
himself a.wife two:year's ago, at the ripe ago
of seventy-two (himself, not the wife) and last
week ho had born to him a sou and heir. Ho
will probably name tho boy after himself,
Theodore, meaning God-given—it will-cortoin
,ly bo appropriate. Such instances of “ bettor
late than never’’ are . not very common, but
there have been some very remarkable cases.
Sir Stephen Fox, tho father of Jhmos Fox, was
married at the ago of eighty, and was after
wards blessed with three sons. Mr. Freling
hnyson is now married for- tho second time.—
lie had no children by his first wife.
A Token of Goon.—Those who ought to
know, say that there has been less finery and
ornamental gow-ggws sold during tho present
season, than during tho same period of any
year since, the great panic of 1830. We have
boon an over-dressed and over decorated peo
ple, but wo are from past reverses beginning
now to cut our coat according to our cloth.:
The Lawrence Slaughter.
It appears that some of the stockholders in
the Pemberton Mills, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, wore fully aware that the building was
unsafe, yet they made no effort to secure its
safety. Then it is quite clear to trust that
they are murderers. No common respectable,
gentlemanly manner;;mlirdordrS, who more y
kill off half a dozen men or so, hut cold blood-:
ed, wholesale murderers. Wo have read ex
tensively of this most frightful affair, and can
take no other view of it. Wo would not have
these fellows hung, nor consigned to the peni
tentiary for life oven. They should bo hack
ed .to pieces with dull hatchets. The more
cnlpatile of them should he shut up With mad
dogs. These miscreants’ tongues should bo
pulled out by the roots. Their eyes should bo
dug out with inOnkoy wrenches. They should
bo made to drink molten lead and sit on rod
hot gridirons. , Who that has read of this ap
palling andlieaoitless slaughter—of the hearths
and homes made desolate forever —of the fair
bravo girls and honest, hard working men so
untimely and horribly sent from the world
who that has read of all this in the newsprints
of the day shall say we write extravagantly.
Let us hope these Pemberton Mills men aio
unequalled in deeply black villainy, byJho
proprietors of other cotton mills in Now Eng
land, yet wo merely utter a plain, disgraceful
truth when wo say that the, most of them are
sordid and soulless wretches. Wo hear a
great deal and'something too much, of the
cruelty and wickedness of negro slavery in the
southern portion of those United States; yet
there is not ope slaveholder in five hundred
who holds so 'tight and despotic a reign over
his negroes ns do the cotton lords of pious
New. England over their, employees.. They
arc bell’d from bed, bell’d to the mill, bell’d
home, boil’d everywhere. They must do their
employers’ bidding, in all respects, like dogs.
Body, heart, soul and brains, they belong to
the lords of cotton, ' ■ . , .
Why hot'indict and;try those Pemberton
Mills butchers?' A jury.composcd of twelve
howling Apache Indians, upon whom the sun
light of 'civilization . never hurst, would pro
nounce them guilty of murder most foul and
unnatural.

The Republican National Convention.
—The nominating Convention called by the
, Republican Ifational Committee at Chicago, \
June Jiocß .«ot appear to bo
1 and plaoopto many of
the newspaper organs of that party.' Various
reasons are urged in hohalf of a change, es
pecially in the time; hut it is prohahlo that
one argument Outweighs all the others in po
tency. they are afraid of the ghost of the old
Whigs. The remains of the Whig and Ame
rican parties are being gathered up with some
care,’and are to ho used as a third party in
the Presidential campaign. To the utter dis
j may of the Republicans, the managers of this
third party propose to hold a nominating Con
vention in May; a full month before tho time
fixed for the Republican Convention at Chica
go, and thus, os the phrase goes, “take tho
wind out of the" sails" of the great sectional
party of the North. • .
Scarlet Fever, continues to deso
late the homes of people in various sections of
iho State. In one township of Jefferson coun
ty twenty-live, children have died within a pe
riod of two months, and the disease instead of
ahating : appeara to ho increasing, whole fami
lies of children being prostrated with it. In
the space'of’Wb weeks, out of a family often
children seven have died, stricken down hy
the “red demon of the nursery.” The dis
ease also prevails to a considerable extent in
some sections of this county.
J3@j“ Prof. James P. Espy, the well-known
meteorologist, died On : Tucsdajr evening last,
at Cincinnati, of paralysis, having been ill a
week. Prof. Espy Was born in Washington
county, Pa; in the year 1785, so that ho was
in .his 75th year when ho died. He early
turned his attontion to the study of meteorol
ogy,, and his writings on the philosophy of
storms have been commended by the best au
thorities dt homo and abroad. For a number
of years ho hold, under the T Federal Govern
ment, an office that was especially established
for him, with a view of, scouring the best
-practical proof of his theory. Prof. Espy was
a widower, and ho loaves no children. His.
remains have boon taken for, interment to
Harrisburg, where his wife was buried, and,

Hard Case',— The free negroes recently ex
pelled from Arkansas, have published an ap
peal to the Christian world to protect thein.
They say Indiana shuts hor doors upon them.
Illinois denies prairie homos to them. Ore
gon will not receive them, and Minnesota is
debating whether or not she shall admit them.
They complain of being forced into a cold cli
mate suddenly from a warm one, and present
a sad picture of the distress that they suffer.
If their injudicious friends in the free States
had lot them alone, it is quite likoly that they
would have been still enjoying their freedom
unmolested in the South.
Two Children' Burned. —ln Mifflin county

Sons of Malta
, Wo have Ward several speak of forming; a
lodeo of tho ancient order of the Sons o
tho mission of this order, wo 8 10 „
that it would moot with success,
tho Sons of Malta'are known, they are chn
acterlzcd for.their deeds of charity and oic
During plague and famine they have alwaj
been known to aid and assist those m need
by keeping tho wolf from the door. The hrst
order established in America was m the days
of Peter Stuyvesant, who was the first U. .
J. A. of tho order in the Now World. An
accident occurring incapacitated him for a
performance nf his duties, but tho old Dutch
Governor was so stubborn that he refused to
give up tho insignia of his office, and t icy
were buried with him. For this indignity the
charter,was revoked,'and not until two years
ago could another bo obtained. When Capt.
Leonard, of New York, wont to London, he
succeeded, says tho Now York Tribune, in ob
taining a now charter for America. Since
that time the order has spread like wild-fire,
and now needy every town of any importance
in tho Union has a lodge of flic Sons. The
order has increased, if possible, since tho ma
ny protended exposes have come out, and now
we find the Sons of Malta going on in the even
tenor of their way, leaving a blessing on every
threshold .they cross. r
Congress and the Newspapers.— Nearly
every day, in Congress, there is an episode
upon newspapers and newspaper'editors, to
diversify the dreary monotony of the Helper
book contest. Members of Congress,, know
ing, how they aro trifling away the session,
are sensitive, to newspaper comment, and look
cavcrly to see what the various journals nro
saying of them. Hence, every day there is an
explanation, or a defiance flung at some news
paper,,and often language which ought never
to bo hoard upon the floor of Congress, and
never is, excopffrom some conceited member,
who thinks the whole country is waiting in
breathless anxiety to hear him scathe the
newspapers! There never was a session of
Congress' in which there was so much of this
kind of twaddle—thcre'novor was a session in
which the members so lar. forgot tho dignity
of their position as to come down to personal
explanations upon the floor, in answer, to non s
paper, comment.’ .The members must feel
that they are not doing their duty to their
country, and are trifling away the interests of
tho Union! They never know that they arc
nofcurepresentatives of tho people in tho lar
gest sense of the word, but merely fiictionists,
filled withsdctional prejudice. Men who are
conscious of having performed their duty
faithfully look to their country for approval,
and do hot fear newspaper comment.
; State Legislature.— Nothing of particular
interest has transpired, in tho Legislature du
ring the past week;: The business has thus
far been of a'local character,, and, as usual,
Philadelphiahas monopolized the greater por-
ion of it. A bill of some importance'was in-
troduced by Mr. Schell, Senator from Bed
ford, a. few days ago. It provides for the sale
of tho Pittsburg and Connellsvillo Railroad
I undo! certain conditions, among which is ono
. .that if tho.. Pennsylvania Railrad Company
, become tho purchaser shall pay a bonus
of one million of dollars to the State, and tho
. tax upon tonnage passing over their road shall
thereupon bo.ropcaled. ■

Punishment’of Apaches by the Troops.
Wo have received the following particulars,
of the success of Capt. Elliott and his com
mand in inflicting a severe, and'-signal pun
ishment on a party of Pinal Apaches, on their
return from Sonora.
. For, seme days past, Capt. Elliott has been
sooutingin the vicinity of “ Dragoon Springs,”
and on the morning of the 10th instant, dis
covered a largo -party of Apaches, making
their way to the mountains, with horses, cab
tie, mules, &c., stolon as usual from Sonora.—
Ho followed their trail closely for three days,
and early next mornig about thirty miles
North West of Dragoon Springs, while the In
dians wofO around their camp fires, cooking
the meat of three Of the cattle they had butch
ered, intending to have a glorious feast, —
came in sight of them and prepared to attack.
Dividing his command, ho charged them from
two pointsbut unfortunately the horses of
tho Indians hearing the noise, gave the alarm,
or the surprise would have been complete, and
not ’one could have escaped, ho succeeded,
however, in punishing them to a dogreo, they
will long remember, killing six warriors, be
sides wounding several, and recovered thirty
one head of stock,'lo horses, and three jack
asses; also burning their camp, and taking
with him six quivers filled with poisoned ar
rows, lances, &o.
Wo are pleased to notice this success on the
part of the troops. The campaign now in the
field, against the Apaches, notwithstanding
the difficulties it has labored under,’ as shown
by us, in previous numbers, has already ac
complished much towards tho subjugation of
these thieving Apaches. Tho proper spirit
has been evinced by tho officers na command,
and tho men under them- who have used tho
utmost exertions, in their aim, to afford bur
citizens, all the protection; in- their power;

The late Important Hews From Mexico.
‘General Miraltaon, it seems, following up
his former important victories, had
other remarkably successful campaign, forcing
his adversaries, five thousand strohg, an
dor the command of two of the abloßtCongt
tutionalist loaders, frpm the formidable post
tions they had well selected and entrenched
at the deep barranca' do Antenquiquo, the
mountain of La Illguora, the Peek of Porieo,
and the rivor and hills of Tarmastla, on the
18th and- 21st of December. lie took posses
sion of the town of Colima on "the -_2d, and,
instantly leaving it, overtook the retiring Con
stitutionalists on the 23d, at the formidable
barranca (ravine) of 11. Muorto, and complete
lv defeated them on the 24th. ’
The fruit of those preliminary engagements
and final battle are—lst, fifteen cannon, a
creat number of muskets and a quantity of
ammunition, two thousand; prisoners inolm
ding the whole and best battalion of the Con
stitutionalists, the sth of tkohno and the ut
ter dispersion of the entire Constitutional ar

session of the whole district of Oolimn, T.vitli

the consequent demoralization of the Const

capture or dispersion,’which must have taken
place by this time. ‘ „
