 IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

The blow against San Antonio has been struck, and probably before this time, it has fallen Into the hands of the Americans. On or about the 9th of December, Col. Milan, at the head of 300 volunteers stormed San Antomo, and obtained possession of one slde of the town, lodging his force in two stone houses fronting the public square, from whence he eflectually slenced three pieces of artillery brought to bear upon him by the Mexlcans, by picking off the men who worked the guns. Loss on the side of the Americans two killed, and ten or twelve wounded; among the former is Captain Cook ofthe New Orleans Grays. Loss of the Mexlcans not ascertained, but supposed to be very great.
 The people of Nacogdochcs and San Agustin have declared for indepedence. This is right. Nothing but entire separa- ton from the Mexieans will ever secure to the Texans tranquility.
 Alter the above was in type, we received the following additional intelligence, con- tained in an extra. issued from the office of the Texean.
 4 l copy of letter signed B. R. Milan, and Edward Burleson, directed .o the pres ident of the provisional Government, and furnished us by q gentleman of this place.
 Camp before Bejar, Dec 6, 1895. To THE PRESIDENT OF THE PRovisieNA1
 GOVERNMENT.
 Yesterday morning at day light or rather some twenty minutes before, Col Milan, with party of about 300 volunteers made an assault upon the Town of Beiar; his party he divided into two divisions, which on en- tering into the town, took possession of two houses, near each other, near the "plaza'' where they have been ever since battling with the enemy they have so far had fierce contest. The enemy offering strong and obstinate resistence. It is difficult to de- termlne what injury has been done him, ma- ny killed certainly, but how many cannot be told on our side, 10 or I2 wounded, two killed, the houses occupied by us command ding some of the cannon in fhe "pIazav have silenced them entirely as it is report ed 10 us; tue issue is doubifm of course Ugartichea IS on his way with considerable endorsements, how near exactly has not yet been ascertainod, but certainly, he is not more than some 50 or 60 miles off. This has been despatched for an immediate SUD- ply of ammunition, as much powder and lead as can possibly be sent instantly of the first mentioned article there is none beyond the cannon cartridges already made up. hope that good mules or horses will be pro- cured to send on these articles with the greatest possible speed, travelling night and day for there is not minute to be lost.
 Renforcements of men also are perhaps indispensable to our salvation. hope ev- cry exertion will be made 10 force them out 10 our relief immediately.

Extract of a letter from Rev. Mason KNAPP
pen, dated Sudbury, VT Sept %, lS2S,-
Dear Sir-lt is with no ordinary interest
that | undertake TO recommend to the pub
lie the virtues Of Jewett's Vegetable Pills
or German Specific, for the cure of indiges-
lion, etc. My own case has been one of the
most uncomfortable kind, having long set at
defiance medical aid, dieting, exercises and
the fashionable specihc.---the waters of Sa-
ratoga. Being totally PROSTATE in mind
and body, was induced, almost without
hope, TO make use Of the above named Pills.
and was surprised to find their powerful
and favorable effects. My distressing symp.
toms daily decreased, and am now almost
entirely cured Of most distressing COM
plant which for seven years had resisted n
great variety OF the most popular remedies.
Yours respectfully
MASON KNAPPEN,
Minister OF the Gospel, Sudbury, VI.
Extract OF letter from a gentleman In
Boston received through the past office, dat.
ed Sept. Ia, lS2S.-"Sir, am induced by
feelings Of the liveiest gratitude TO make
known to the public the following cure by
means ef Jewett's Improved Vegetable Pills
or German Specific. My complaint was
the Dyspepsia, attended with pain in the
side and stomach, loss Of appetite, sc. |
applied 10 several physicians, and used all
the medicine, generally prescribed to per-
sons in my situation, but they proved ineffec.
tnal. AT last, by the advice of friend Who
had been cured in case similar 10 mine, [
made trial Of the above named Pills, and by
implicitly following the directions, they
gave me almost instant relief, and by using
two boxes more, they effected permanent
cure. am now enjoying exccllen, health,
and would heartily recommend to those per.
sons laboring under dyspepsia to make trial
OF the above medicine"
From Rep j. d. Drummoad.
With feelings Of pious gratitude to heav.
en- (whence flows every good and precious
git,) L now come forward to unite mine to
the numerous testimonies of those who have
experienced the happy effects of "Dr. Jew.
ett's improved Vegetable Pills" For more
than two years have suffered severely from
a disease of the stomach, owing TO a de-
rangement of the digestive organs. And
though | ran the recommended course of
many remedies famed for their reliefgiving
virtues, yet all was vain and useless-untl
at length through the advice of friend |
consented TO make trial of the above named
Pills, the use of which has completely re.
established my long wished for health.

III Thompson's New
Truss.
UnexampIed success.

WHERE this Truss has been introduced,
w IL is taking the place of all other Trusses
ever invented. Persons who have tried the
most approved kinds heretofore made, will lay
them aside and purchase one of these invalua-
bic Trusses.
The following Recommendation has just been received
from DIR. Hall, Of Vergcnnes.
This Truss, he says, is great improvement
over any thing that has hitherto been invented
in the form Of Truss. The superiority of
the above article does not consist in the ease
and safety by which they are worn only, but
by proper adaptation will speedily effect per-
manent cure of the Hernia. Numerous certif-
Gates to the above facts might be added, were
it necessary, but slight examination of these
Trusses will convince any one that the great
desideratum has at length been obtained, and
this formidable disease is no longer dread.
| think therefore that all afflicted with Hernia
or Rupture, and having just estimate OF the
danger of delaying attention TO it, will procure
a Truss Immediately and be cured.
A. HALL.
Vergennes, Oct 1885.
| hereby certify that on commencing haying
this season. | was afflicted with Hernia, which
became so painful that was obliged TO quit
work. applied one of Thompson's Patent
Trusses, with which was enabled 10 labor
daily, and found no more Inconvenience in
wearing il than in wearing my stockings. In
three weeks was perfectly cured laid aside
the truss, and have had no recurrence Of her
mia since. GEORGE A. HALE.
Brattleboro, Aug. 1896.
Mr.. Thompson, Sir-The Trusses begin TO
go WELL having sold several. Having myself
tried several trusses of various kinds, found no
relief. But putting one of yours ON the first of
April last, in four weeks was entirely cured,
and have not had occasion TO wear any since !;
and do not hesitate TO say that in my opinion
they will by the blessing of God, effect per-
manent cure. Yours in haste,
