tits surely unnecessary to add another word
upon this subject. We trust that there are
many amongst us, and even among those in
high stations who will sympathse in this
condition of their brother Christians, and will
feel that state of things has arisen, under
which it is our bounden duty to contribute
something in support of the common cause.

account fthc defeat of the Royalsts IN Peru
on the 9th December last, when General
Sucre, after putting them to the rout, cap
tured the Generals Canterac, Valdez, Cara

entirely free.

Our liberating army, under command OF
General Sucrc, has completely routed the
Spanish army on the 9th Of this month, IN
the plain of Guamanguilla. General La Ser
ma, who commanded the latter was wound
cd, and has been taken prisoner, together
with Generals Canterac, Valdez, Carataia
and other chiefs, officers and soldiers.--S on
sequently all the baggage OF the enemy, TO-
gether with their arms and military effects,
arc also in our possession. Lieut. Col. Me
dian, adiutant of his FX. the libcrator, was
the bearer of the official accounts OF tins &C
zion, but it is to be regretted that he was as
sassinatcd in Guando, by the rebels OF that
town. But all the public authorities OF the
places near the scene of battle, gave othclal
accounts of the success Of our arms, adding
that General Canterac, who remained III
command after General La Serna was
wounded, capitulated to General Sucrc, cx-
pressly stipulating that the fortress OF Cal
lao should be given up tothc liberating army.
The 9th December, 1924, has completed
the victory commenced at Junn. Al the be-
ginning of this year, the Spaniartls threat
ened to reconquer America with that army
which is now captured and has no more an
cxistance. The plains OF Guamangullla
have witnessed the victory which has ter
minated the war of independence on the
continents OF Columbus. At last the ques-
ton which divides Europe has been decidedi
the question which more Immediately inter-
ests America, and which has bearing on all
mankind, both now and hereafter The
question has been settled whether the world
is to be governed By the power of those who
call themselves "legtimates"-the epoch
has arrived when nations can enjoy their
rights and liberties.
In fine, the liberatng army has solved
the problem, and has erected an everlasting
monument to its glory. Gratitude will trans

Of Gaumanguilla, and of its il,us,rous genius
who directed the war-pho has saved Peru
and whose successes IN February were CON
Quoted through new roads to glory. His fame
Shall last forever, and this sentiment IS re-
sponded in the hearts of all who desire llber-
