SONIA, June 1S.
It appears that God is pleased to favour our
cause; and our Lad: of the Pillar, Geiieralissi-
mo OF our forces, has just given us a positive
proof OF her patronage.
The French had lost between five and 6 600
men in the actions of rudela, Mallen Callur
and Aiagon and the remaining $4,000 had Or
ders to enter Sarragossa on Corpus Chistday
although there shoul, be but one soldier lost :;
but fortunately and through the miraculous in
reference of the blessed Virgin Mary, the last
battle was fought i'll the threshing field Of Sar-
ragossa, within cannon shot of the town. They
were all put to the sword /; nor has so much :s
one survived to tell the story The Arragonese
fought Ike lions and seeing the enemy so close
threw down their nuskets and drew their sa.
bres. We have captured 400 horses which
were LETT alive, and 81 carts OF ammunition 1t
is supposed, that our loss has been great. because
such battles cannot be gained in any other man
ner bit the advantages exceed the losses which
we have sustained And it is hereby made known
to the public, fol- their satisfaction, by command

"McsSrs. Stanly, M'Bride and Pearson,
are the Federal portion of cur new deiega-
ton to Congress. They discover, however,
nothing OF the change of politics throughout
the state. The Fayetville district was al
ways decidedly Federal, and always SEM such
a representative when one offered. The
Newbern district has been vibrating, and
some personal as well as local causes, aided
in the change In the Salisbury district, the
Republicans stuck to Mr. Alexander until it
was found that his personal incapacities rem
dered his success impossible, when 1t was
too late to unite in support of Mr.. Locke
Thus far has federalism triumphed while

gained abundantly more in that district,
than it has lost III the other two; and the u

BALTIMORE, August, 81.
Copy Of letter received by captain James
Thomas Of Annapolis, dated August 90,
1903, communicated TO the Editors Of the
Evening Post, for publication
Dear Sir,
have this moment heard of seizure
and apprehension of some men in your town
for supposed murder on board of vessel
belonging to Mr.. Patterson, of Baltimore
The story is with us, that the captain had
some hundred dollars for the purpose of buy
ing timber-the crew knew it, rose, aud
murdered him. There is but little doubt of
the fact, although it may not be susceptible
of proof; yet it bchoves every citizen to
make an exertion for the apprehension and
conviction of the perpetrator and his accom-
plices. The fact is, that a man has been ia e
ken upon the bay shore, three miles above the
flag ponds, above Cove Point, a place we'll
known to Navigators--his legs tied, his arms
broke, and his SOUL fractured-as horrid a
murder as ever appeared before jury of in
quest-and is believed to be the captain of
the above described vessel. AS his clothes
are on him and may lead to strong presump-
tive if not positive proof-an application
made to Mr.. Nathaniel Dare, a respectable
citizen of Calvert county, would be the means
of his body being obtained, aud who would
give every facility to developement Of cir
cumstances attending the interment and cx-
animation before the Jury of Inquest. Ihave
felt duty to make this statement, presum-
ing il may lead TO proper inquiry on the sub
jeCt. If this communication can in any way
be serviocablc in calculating the above hor
rid act, You are at liberty to- make use Of it
| am, dear sir, with great respect, yours
