(LATE POWELL’S) EMBROCATION,
For all Diseases incident to Dorses,. Cattle, and Vie
Human Flesh, requiring the use of an external applU
cation.
This new Compound, prepared by a practical
Chemist having a full knowledge of all the medi
cal virtues of each ingredient that enters into its
composition, is warranted to exceed anything of
the kind over yet offered to the public as an ex
ternal application for the diseases which it is rec
ommended, We are satisfied that it will work
its own road intotbo confidence of all who use
it, ond’thoso who try It once will never be with
out It. and theretore wo rely on experience as the
best rest of lts usefulness. It is pronounced by
Farriers, and all who have tried It to be the best
application ever used. This Embrocation has
been put up for over eight years, and It Is only
through the Increasing demand and ureont re
quest of my friends ana the public that I send It
forth as the grand remedial agent for the varlbus
diseases to which that noble and useful animal,
the horse, is subject. c
Many remedies have been offered to tbo pub
lic under different forms, some of these are usu
rious, others at best of little use, and many whol
ly improper to answer the puroposes for which
they aro recommended.
. AJudialous and really useful composition, free
from these objections, has therefore long been de
sired by many gentlemen who have valuable hor
ses, and aro unwilling to trust them to the care of
designing and protended Farriers. Their wishes
are at length fully gratified-by Dr. Beale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Embroca
tion (which has proved so efficacious to the vari
ous diseases) to he prepared and brought out to
tho public. .
This Embrocation was extensively used by tho
Government during the war.- "

THE DBCNKABD’S DAUGHTER.
BY G. W, BUNGAY.
Oat In tho street with naked feet,
I saw tho druakard’s little d&nghter;
Her tattered phawl was thin and,small,
She little Knew for no one taught her.
Her skin wot fair, her auburn hair,
Was blown about her pretty forehead;
' Her sad, white face woro sorrow’s trace,
And want and woe that wore not borrowed.
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled,
Hope promised her no bright to-morrow;
Or If its light dashed on her night,
Then up came darker clouds of sorrow.
She softly said, “Wo have no bread,
No wood to keep tho fire burning;"
The child was 111, the wind so chill
Her thin cold blood to ice was turning.
Gut men well fed and warmly clod,
. And ladles robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To thdm for pity or compassion.
Fled that long night, and then tho light
Of rosy day in beauty shining,
tf Sot domeand spire and roof on fire,
And shone on one fcyond repining.
Asleep— alone—oa cold os stone,
Whore no dear parent ever sought her;
In winding sheet of snow and sleet,
Wo found the drunkard's lifeless daughter.

LOVE WITHOUT NONSENSE.
NOT A BIT LIKE A NOVEL.
Once upon a time there was a fair young
maiden, whose name was Mary, although
they called her Moll for short. She wasn’t
a tali, dark-eyed maiden, with clear trans
parent skin, and lips like cherries, and
cheekssufiiised with blushes. She didn’t
have glossy black hair, sweeping baok in
wavy tresses from her queenly brow, and
her form wasn’t a bit like Hebe’s. No,
there was none of those things; on tbo
contrary, she was short and thin, and had
red hair and freckles, and she also sport
ed snaggle teeth and wore pads, but still
she was a right nice girl; and there was
a young man who fell in love with her,
and bis name was Bill, although ids
friends called him William when they
wanted to hurt his feelings, for be didn’t
like it much. He wasn’t .fine looking,
and bad neither curly brown hair nor a
moustache. Nqt much. Bill laid him
self out on soap looks, and wore a goatee
that he had dyed twice a week.
Now this Bill, he was in love with
Mary, but did he go and make a deliber
ate ass of himself 7 Did be, I say, go in
to the grove with her, and In the soft
moonlight by tbestreamlet that murmur
ed sweetly by, and with the tender zephyrs
sighing through foiliage, fail down on his
knees, seized herjeweied hand aid breathe
bis deep affection in the tender accents
of fond attachment, and swear “byyon
bright orb above us, always to be thine 7”
Did he, I say 7 You can just bet he didn’t.
You can lay out Your whole revenue safe
ly on that. William knew too much
about the price of pants to go flopping
around on the wet grass with his good
clothes oh ; besides, be never cared any
thing .about streamlets, or any kind of
cold water, except to mix with gin. No,
sir, it was exceedingly strange; but this
infatuated William met her at the alley
'gate, ard he stood right up on his old legs,
and says; “ Bay Moll, old gal, s’posen we
get hitched 7 '
But bow did Mary behave? Did she
go drooping to sleep over on the bricks In
a dead taint, or. did she bide her gentle
bead on his shirt bosom to conceal her
blushes? No, she didn't; and she didn’t
say, “ I am over thine, my own love, dear
William 1” Oh I my no. Bhe looked
right in his yellow eyes and says, “ I’m
In, Billy; I’m the gal for these sort of
things. Go in I’’ And instead of refer
ring him to her father, she only said,
“ Won’t the old man bust right out when
yon tell him? Ha! ha I” and she laugh
ed. But she didn’t ask William to molli
fy her fond father. No, no. She vary"
wickedly advised him to “ poke the old
man in the nose if be gave him any of his
lip.” She was a funny girl, that Mary,
| iNow, the old man wasn’t wealthy, for he
sold soap fat for a living, and so be didn’t
think Bill was nosing around after his
stamps; so, when Bill asked him, he
neither ordered him fiercely away, nor
did the dewy moisture gather in bis eagle
eye as he passed his hem-stitched up
there and said: “ Bless you; my children,
bless you!” Oh, no, nothing of the sort.
He just blew hla old red nose on his ban
dana, and told BUI to take her along, for
ho was glad to get rid of her, so he was,
and William would bethesamewaysoon,
for she was awful rough on victuals, and
always broke plates when she got mad.
So, yon see, there reallywas no necessi
ty for William to come at midnight's sol
emn hour, in a cab, and thrown rope-lad
der up to her window, and whistle three
times on bis fingers and then go up,
hand over band, and bring her down in
one hand and Jier trunk in the other, and
a band-box and an umbrella under each
arm, qnd a whole lot of bundles, and then
get into a cab apd fly to some distant
shore. That’s the way It would have been
in a novel ;> but BUI said he wasn’t on
that lay, so he just went out in the yard,
and,'out of pure joy, he skinned the cat
three or four times on the grape vine ar
bor, and then went and got bis butcher
cart, and drove Mary right down to the
magistrate, to get the jab done for a quar
ter —for.be said he was some on the low
price, he was.
, But the queerest thing of ail was that

Desperate ami Fatal Dad.
We find the following in the Louisville
Courier:
Welhy Post Office, July 22. —A de
plorable tragedy was'enacted abouta mile
from our quiet little village this morning,
at daylight, which resulted in the dcatli
of a promising young man, and the mor
tal wounding of another whose future
was all brilliancy and promise.
Littleton Wells ana Sanford B. Hub
erts we»e both young men of unexcep
tionable character, and occupying envia
ble positions in our society. Wells was
'about twenty-two years old, and Roberts
was probably two years his senior. The
former was our deputy postmaster, while
the latter was clerk in the store of Roath
& Strother. For some time both had been
paying marked attention to an amiable
and beautiful young lady of the neighbor
hood, whose name I withhold for obvious
reasons, and until within a month past
were generous rivals, their relations to
wards each other being on the most friend
ly footing.
Some three or four weeks ago Wells
visited the young lady and made a formal
proposal for her hand. His proposition
was respectfully but firmly declined, and
upon his pressing her for her reason for
her declination, she indiscreetly inform
ed him that she had already
similar proposal from Young Roberts.—
Wells left the house, mounted his horse
and returned to the village. He first
went to the postoffice and armed himself
with a pistol, and then saw his successful
rival at the store. Here an altercation
ensued, which would have had a bloody
termination had not bystanders interfered
and put an end to the difficulty. From
that time until Saturday they wore as
strangers to each other. On that day
they both' attended a pic-nic. Roberts
being accompanied by his Jlancc. As
soon as Wells saw them together he seem
ed to bo imbued with the vety spirit of
insanity. Approaching them, he grossly
insulted Roberts in the presence of the
whole assembly. The insulted man
sprang to his feet, and started towards his
insulter, evidently to resent the insult,
when gentlemen present prevented a col
lision. Roberts and his fair companion,
at the earnest solicitation of the latter,
immediately left the ground and repair
ed to her home, where she, fearing a dif
ficulty between the parties, endeavored
to persuade him to spend the night. In
that she failed, but succeeded in extract
ing. a promise from* him that ho would
not return to the pic-nic ground.
Reaching the village, and brooding over
the gross outrage that bad been put upon
him, he went to his room and penned a
challenge to mortal combat, which he in
trusted to a friend to be delivered into the
hands of Wells. This mission was accom
plished that night. Next morning a
friend of the challenged party called up
on the friend of Roberts to arrange the
preliminaries. This was soon accom
plished. The arrangement waMthat the
tight was to come off'in a meadow, about
ouo mile east of town, at daylight on
Monday, the.weapons to bo Colt’s revol
vers. i
At the appointed* timo principals and
seconds were on the chosen ground. The
principals were placed ten feet apart, with
instructions to fire' between the words
“one”- and “ three,” and then advance,
firing os they advanced, suuh being the
terms insisted upon by the challenge and
not rejected by the challenger. At the
word both parties fired, and so accurate
was their aim that Wells fell dead, pierced
through the brain by bis adversary’s ball.
Roberts received his opponent’s bullet in
the centre of the breast, passing through
his body and lodging under theskin, just'
to the left of the spine. At the moment
I.write he is not dead, though sinking bo
rapidly tbat the physicians say that he
cannot possibly live more than an hour.
This terrible affair, it is needless to say,
has given our entire community a shook
such as never pervaded it before. Both
the young paen were highly respected,
conspicuous for their intelligence and so
cial qualities. .Weils leaves a widowed
mother and two sisters to mourn his loss.
Roberts leaves no family bereft, while the
sad, sad fate is mourned by all who knew
him.
A Touching Passage.
How eloquently does Chateaubriand re
ply to the iilquiry, “ Is there a God?” :
“ There is a God! The herbs of the val
ley, the cedars of the mountain bless Him;
the insects sport in His beams; the ele
phant salutes Him with the rising orb of
day; the thunder proclaims Him in the
Heavens; the ocean declares Hisimmcn
sity; man alone has said, ‘there is no
God!’ Unite in thought at the same in
stant the most beautiful objects in nature;
suppose that you s£e at once all the hours
of the day ana all the seasonsof theyear;
a morning of spring and a morning of au
tumn: anight bespangled with stars and
a night covered with clouds; meadows
enameled with flowers and hoary with
snow; fields gilded by tints of autumn;
then alone you will have a just concep
tion of the universe. While you are ga
zing upon that sun which is plunging un
der the. vault of the West, anothiug ob
server admires Him emerging from the
gUdpd gates of the East. By what incon
ceivable magic does tliat aged star winch
Is sinking fatigued and burning in the
shade of the evening, re-appear at the
same instant, fresh and humid with the
rosy.dews of morning! At every instant
of the day the glorious orb is at once ris
ing, resplendent at noon-day, and setting
in the West; or rather our senses deceive
us, and there is, properly speaking, no
East, West, North or South in the world.
Every thing reduces itself to a single
point, froin whence the King of Day
sends forth at once a trip pie light in one
substance* The bright splendor is per
haps that which nature can present that
is most beautiful, for while it gives us an
idea of the perpetual magnificence and
resistless power of God, it exhibits at the
same time a shining Image of the glorious |
Trinity.”
A TERRinii&DEDPELTiOW.
I looked at my neighbor with consider
able curiosity. His face indicated a man
of not thirty years, a period at which men
are still young; but his hair was as white
as fresh-fallen snow. One seldom sees;,
even on the heads of tho oldest men, hair
of such immaculate whiteness. He sat by
my side in a car of the Great Western
rail-road, in Canada, and was looking out
of the. window. Suddenly turning.his
head be caught mo In the act of staring,
at him—a rudeness of which I was asham
ed. I was about to say words of apology,
when he quietly remarked :
“Don’t mention it, sir; I’mmaed’to
it.” ‘ *
The frankness of this observation pleas
ed me, and in a very little time we were
conversing on terms of familiar acquaint
anceship; and before long ho told mo the
whole story.
" I was a soldier in the army of India,”
said ho, "and as is often the case with
soldiers, I was a little too fond of liquor.
One day I got drunk and was shut up in
the black-hoie for it. X slumped down
upon the floor of the dungeon, when I
felt a cold, slimy shape crawling across
my right hand as it lay stretched out be
fore ray head on- the floor. I knew at
once what it was—a'snake. Of course
my first impulse was to draw away my
hand; but knowing that if I did so the
poisonous reptile would probably strike
its fangs into mo, I lay still, with my
heart beating in my breast like a ttip
hammer. Of course my fright sobered
me instantly. I realized* all my peril in
its fullest extent. O, howl lamented the
hour that I touched liquor! In every
glass of liquor they say there is a serpent;
hut it does not come in the shape it came
to me. With a slow undulating motion
the reptile dragged its carcass across my
face, inch by inch, and crept down over
niy breast and thrust his head inside my
jacket. As I felt the hideous scraping of
the body over ray cheeks it was only by
the most tremendous effort that I suc
ceeded in restraining myself from yelling
loudly with mingled terror aud disgust,
At last I felt the tail wriggle down to
wards rny chin ; but imagine what I felt
at heart, if you cau imagine it, as I realiz
ed that the dreadful creature as it coiled
itself.up under my jacket that lay, and
hud seemingly gone to sleep, for it was
still as death. Evidently it had no idea
that I was a human creature; if it had It
would never have acted in this manner.
All snakes are cowardly aud they will
not approach a man unless to strike him
in self-defense. Three hours I lay with
this dreadful weight in my bosom, and
each minute was like an hour to me—like
a year. I seemed to bavedlved a lifetime
in that brief space. Every incident of
my life passed across my memory in rap
id succession, as they say is the case with
a drowning man. I thought of my moth
er, away in old England ; my happy
home by the Avon ; my Mary, the girl X
loved, and never expected to see them
more.
For, no matter how long I bore this I
felt that It would end in death at last. I
lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring
oven to breathe, and all the time my
breast was growing colder and colder
where the snake was lying against it,
with nothing but a thin cotton shirt be
teween my skin and it. I knew if I stir
red it would strike; butl felt that I could
not bear this longer. Even if I succeed
ed in lying still until the guard came, I
expected his,opening the door and com
ing in would be my death warrant all the
same, for no doubt the .reptile would see
that I was a man as soon us the light
should bo let in at the door. At last I
hoard footsteps approaching. It was the
guard. He opened the door. The snake—
a cobra di capello, I now saw darting up
its huge hooded head, with the hideous
rims about its eyes, as If about to strike.
I shut my eyes and murmured a prayer.
Then it glided away with a swiftmotion,
and disappeared in the darkness. I stag
gered to my feet and fell swooning in the
arms of the guard. For weeks after I was
very sick, and when able to be about I
found my hair was white as you now see
it. X have not touched a drop of liquor
since.
Tho Surratt Trial.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore &uu gives the following ac
countof the manner in which the Surratt
trial is progressing;
It is by no means clear, now .that the
evidence is all in, that this whole trial
was not gotten upas much for the pur
pose of shielding the Arsenal Military
Commission, and demonstrating Unit
Mrs. Surratt was justly hung, as it was to
try John H. Surratt for Mr. Lincoln’s
murder. The whole ground gone over at
what was culled the conspiracy trial was
retraced, and the evidence in this ease
will, when published, make a larger vol
ume than that of the military commission
trial. In this last trial the United States
seemed to have no end of counsel; wheth
er more volunteers or not, lias not trans
pired. Mr. I’ierrepont hud the entire con
duct of the case for the prosecution, Mr.
Carrington and Mr. Wilson assisting him.
In the background were Mr. Bingham,
Mr. Riddlo, Col. Foster and others as ad
visory counsel; while Mr. Montgomery,
who figured at the conspiracy trial in con
nection, with Conover, seemed to bo ser
geant at-anns of the concern, and wasen
gaged In hunting up testimony to meet
the points made by the defense.
Latterly' Dr. McMillin and the patriot
ic Welchman seemed to be added to the
advicory force of the prosecution. It
seemed to be all right and proper for any
and all persons to advise counsel or
aid the prosecution, while a suggestion to
thecouusel for thedefense, a word spoken
to the prisoner, an expression of dissent
from any one witness for the prosecu
tion, ora belief that any witness for the
defense could tell the truth was at once
pronounced treason and sympathy with
the conspirators, and the radical papers
took up the hue and cry and proclaimed
as copperheads oil who did not believe in
advance that Surratt should be hung
whether or no. In this same spirit the
very Jurors have been attacked, and it has
been published to the country in advance
that Surratt will not be convicted. By
what right is this prophecy made? The
jurors were selected by the prosecution
and defense alike; there was nut one
of them who did not beg to be excused,
but judge, prosecution and defense insis
ted that they were the right men in the
right place, when the verdictlsrendered,
it is time enough to comment upon it—
This much it is proper to say, howeves,
that the Surratt jury is composed of men
who represent, to a great extent, the
wealth, intelligence, honor and respesfa
bility of Washington. There is not one
among them who is hot well known to
our citizens to be men of undoubted char
acter for truth and honor, who will de
cide without /ear, favor or affection, and
'where ever they are known their record
ed verdict, whatever itmuy be, will stand
as the honest, eonslcentious judgment of
honest men.
At the present rate of progress specula
tions are at fault, and it .is impossible to
say exactly when the case will be closed.
Mr. Carrington does not seem to be more
than about half through, and if other
counsel speak-nt the same laygth and In
dulges us freely in Bhakspeareau and
Milton allusions it may be many days yet
before the jury will get the case.
A vounc; lady at a temperance meeting
said: “Brethren and sisters—Cider is a
necessity to mo ami I must have it. If it

AW IBlHiraAirS IBTTEB.
The following characteristic letter,writ
ten by a Hibernian of six years’ experi
ence of American institutions, was sub
mitted to a reporter of the New York Sun;
New York, January 14, 18Q7.
My dear Mary, the darlint of my heart
and sowl, I am well, but had the favor
*and ager, and hope you are in the same
condition, thanks be to God. I wish you
many happy New Years, and tbe children,
and hope you’ll have three score and ton
of them. We bad Christmas here, but
the baythens don’t keep it like we used
at home. Dlvll resave the one iver said
to me, many happy Christmas, or bad
luck to ye, or any other politeness. I
didn’t get a Christmas box until I was
going home that night, and a night-walk
ing blaggard gave me one on the eye, and
axed me for me money. I gave him all
I could, about a score of pounds, which
knocked the cents out of him. Tney tell
me that the nagur Is going to be the
white man in the future, and that the
white nagurs in Congress (a big public
house in Washington), are going to try
the President for being a white man. If
they find him guilty, and there’s no
doubt about it, for they are accusers, wit
nesses, lawyers, judges, all In one, they’re
going to execute the Executive, make a
fellow called Coldfaots, President, and re
move the sate of government to a place
called Boshton , celebrated for its Republi
cans and sinners. Thim is the same as
the ridiculous fellows they call ridioulers
—no radicals—saving your presence.—
They want to continue tneir own power—.
God betuno us and all harm. They say
the Southerners must go down on their
knees to them. They forgot that the
poor devils are flat on their backs in the
dust already, and they’re a mane set to
kick a man whin he’s down. Bo jabers
it makes me blood bile to think of ft, and
that the rason I’m running over on this
paper. One war is no sooner over than
they commence the beginning of another
,in Washington, and God only knows
where or whin it may end. I lost one
fine leg in the lost, but I have another
left for a good cause, and I’ll fight for
Johnson; for I hear his great grandmoth
er by his forefather’s side was an Irish
man. * * * * We have snow and
frost here now, and it is likely we will
have more weather. The temperance
men—God save the mark—ln a place call
ed Albany, where the people send Rep
resentatives to ebate them, have stopped
our grog only by daylight.
DiVil a much matter, any ways, for
they don’t keep a dhrop of dacent drink
in the country—no rale ould Irish po
theen, a tumbler of which would charm
the heart of a wheel-barrow, or make a
shovel dance—nothing at all but stuff*
that would kill a pig if he bad to live on
it, much less a Christian baste. * * *
Remember me to Jim ; tell him Re's well,
and ask him how I am. I’m sorry to
hear of the death of the bull, and hope
you’re likewise. Her milk is a loss. Tell
Tady McFinn if he cornea her© he’ll see
.more of America in one day than if he
staid at homo all his life. I’m glad his
wife got over the twins, and hope she’ll
be better next time. There’s room for
improvement. I like this country, but
there’s no place equal to ould Iceland,
where you’d get as much whisky for a
shilling as would make tay for six people.
If you don’t get this, write and let me
know. If you don’t write soon, I may
bo dead, for life is uncertain under the
Radicals; but dead dead or alive I’ll an
swer your letter. Address your dear
brother J;mmy, New York, America,
and I’ll axe for a letter from my dnrilnt
sister.
A Good Joke.— 'When I used to keep
store in Syracuse, the old man came
around one day t and says be:
“ Boys, the one that sells most 'twixt
now and Christmas, gets a vest pattern
for a present.
Maybe wo didn’t work for that vest pat
tern ! I tell you there were some tall sto
ries told in praise of goods at that time.—
But the tallest talker, and the one that
had more cheek than any of us, was a cer
tain Jonah Squires, woo roomed with
me. He could take a dollar out of aman’s
pocket, when the mao only intended to
spend a sixpence. And woman—Lord
bless you!—they just handed over their
pocket books to him, and let him lay out
what he pleased for them.
One pight Jonah woke mo up with—
. “By Joe, old fellow, if you think that
are’s got any cotton it, I’ll bring down
the sheep that it was cut from and make
him swear to his own wool! T’wontwear
out, either; I wore a pair of pants of that
stuff for five years, and they’re os good
os when I first put 'em on! Take it at
thirty cents, and I’ll say you owe mo
nothing. Eh! too dear! well, call it
twenty-eight cents. "What d’ye say?—
Shall I tear it? All right, it’e a bargain.”
I could feel Jonah’s hand playing about
the bed clothes for an instant, then rip,
tear, went something, and 1 had my head
under the blankets, perfectly convulsed
with laughter, and sure that Jonah had
torn the sheet from top to bottom. When
I awoke up in the morning X found—alas I
unkindest cut of all I —that the back of my
night shirt was split from tail to collar
band.
Death at the Breakfast Table.—
Robert Bruce, a celebrated Scotch minis*
ter, sat at bis breakfas table one morning.
Having eaten a boiled egg, he turned to bis
daughter and said:
“I think I am yet hungry, you may
bring me another egg,”
He then grew' thoughtful a moment,
and, musing a little, added—
“ Hold, daughter, hold! my Master
calleth me.”
Here failed him, but calling
for a Bible he requested his daughter to
place his finger on Romans 0, 88, 39,
This being done he repeated the verse,
dwelling especially on “ I am persuaded
that neither life nor dpath shall be able
to seperate me from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus my Lord,”--
He then said:
“ God be with you, my children. I
have breakfasted with you, and shall sup
with my Lord Jesus this night.”
These were his lost words, for, with
out a shiver or a groan, he at once star
ted on his flight to everlasting glory.
Reader, you breakfast with your fami
ly circle this morning. Suppose, like
the good Mr. Bruco, you should die sud*
deuly to day, with whom would you sup
to-nfght?
Who aue the jiest Boys. — A man
once advertised for a boy to assist in the
work of the shop and go errands, etc, A
few hours after the morning’s papers an
nounced that such a boy was wanted, his
shop was thronged with applicants for
the situation. Boys of every grade from
the neatly dressed intelligent youth, down
to the ill-bred clumsy poor came either In
hope of a situation or to see if an opportu
nity offered for a speculation.
Tile man, at a loss to decide among so
many, determined to dismiss them ail and
adopt a plan which be thought might les
sen the number and aid him In his diffi
cult decision.
6a the morning following an advertise
ment appeared in the papers, to this ef
fect: “ Wanted to assist In a shop, a boy
who obeys his mother." Now, my little
friends, bow many boys think you, came
to inquire for the situation after this ad
vertisement appeared? If I am rightly
informed, among nil the lads of the great
city, who were walling the means of earn
ing a living or getting n knowledge of
business, their were but two who could
fearlessly come forward and say, “I obey
my mother.”
tgy- According to the New York papers
they have a woman in that city who has
been sentenced to the penitentiary 160
times. .
Ijgy An Irish absentee is said to have
sent this comforting message to bis stew
ard;—" tell the tenants that no threats to
shoot you will terrify me.”

From Querretero to San Loula Potosl—
Received at 10 a.m., July 13. On the Bth

At 8 o'clock this morning Santiago Vl

was hid. No. 8 San CamiJo street. He
preferred, os other high officials of the
empire, to hide himself from the au
thorities, and let pass the occasion which
was offered upon the occupation of tills
1 place by the Republican army, to protit
by those (arms and means compatible

At headquarters, we are informed,
there was found against him, by existing
laws, one impediment which could not
be passed over without the painful ne
cessity of making a severe example, In
consequence of which" the old Governor
of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila will be shot
this evening. •
The desire, notwithstanding, not to see
again another painful example, the same
as baa already given place to this inci

been tola, to concede a new term to those
military and civil officers who sustained
the usurpation and are still hidden, in
which to deliver themselves up. As a
consequence, the Quartermaster-General
published an order which is hereto ap

It appears that, after Don Santiago
Vldaurrl was discovered, ho manifested
intentions of resisting the police. His

the machinations against our independ
