NINA ALIVE FOR THE THIRD TINE!

NINA AIlNk FUN
The following remarkable story is ex'
t:acted from paper printed at Alexandria
in the county of Rapides. BY way of com
ment, we would observe, that band o
adventures, in the state of Mississippi anc
in The western part of Louisiana, are orga'
pizing themselves into the resemblance o
an army, with The intention of making
predatory inroad into the neighbo:ing pro-
vince of Texas. The CHEST OF NINA, there
is reason to believe, is again conJured up
in order to encourage the raising of re-
cruits among those who are silly enough to
be luped By the articles OF these honest
patriots. There is no fact more indisputa.
bic than the dealt, Of NINA.

We learn, from friend OF ours lately
returned from the province of Texas, The
following circumstances relative 10 General
Nina. The intelligence was obtained by
our friend from one Of the two young men,
the only survivors Of The unfortunate Col.
Perry's party, and who we've pardoned on
condition thai they would join the army OF
Spain. which they did, and were march,
ed 10 Monterey, from which place he bad
lust arrived. While at Monterey, in the
month of November last, lie saw and con-
versed with one of Mina's lieutcnants, then
at that place as spy. He was dressed
like peasant, and sent by Nina to obtain
an accurate knowledge OF the situation OF
the place. He stated, that, after Nina
and Perry separated, Nina went into the
interior, where he succeeded in taking
possession of several strong and important
situations; that he still held possession OF
them; was then about to take i place call
ed Sacatecas that Nina had more than
5000 men, and arms and ammunition in a
bundance that he gained ground con-
SANITY, and maintained his positions
This young man had been sent TO Monte

priests that were his relations, and. !acili-
tate his views there. He had an engage
meat. and succeeded in defeating regi.

Monterey with his remaining force, and
stated that his loss was great. The young
man tAdams) made his escape fr1m Mon
,eray late in November last, in company
with two Spanish soldiers. both OF which
are now in the neighborhood OF Nachito-
cbes. and confirm the existence OF Nina
and state that nearly all the troops at Mon.
teray are sent Gut against him, 1t 1t be
true that Nina is sill alive, and has been
able TO take aud maintain position in the
heart OF the enemy's country, and even
seems 10 threaten Mexico itself, it is but
too apparent that the people want to change
their form OF government, and cast OF The
