IMPORTANT FRoM MExIco.--A late ar
rival al New Orleans brings intelligence
from the city OF Mexico 10 the gath. Of
December. Another movement OF a
highly important character had just been
made In the political matters OF the Re.
public. BY nearly simultaneous move
ment throughout the country, the army
had declared against the new Federal
Constitution, recently promulgated by
Congress, then in session, and ia favor Of
SANTA ANA! The Revolution was We
nv one sided affair, and was accomplish
ed without violence or disorder. Con-
gress being being without party, and
destitute ofmeans, was wholly unable 10
maintain its authority. The members,
therefore, issued manifesto aud quietly
dispersed. Forty of the most respecta-
BILE citizens Of lha Republic bad already
been selected to draught Constitution,
which was to be submitted to SANTA ANA
aud his Ministers for tneir appreciation. -
In the mean time, Santa Ana remains
invested with power, at allevents FOR SIN
months TO come.

We learn from the lions Herald that
the members of the Methodist church in
The city OF Boston have more thu, quadru-
pied 10 the last fifteen years-more than
trebled within the last ten years--and
more than doubled within the last FIVE
years. The editor OF the Herald says !:
at would not be altogether irrelevant
to glance here at the progress OF our
cause throughout New England, but we
can only give a few statistics. Including
the portlono Of New England compre.
hended iG the New York and Troy con-
lerences, we have now 10000 members
aud 900 preachers. The average annu-
al increase for fifty years has been l74O
members, and ID preachers. For the last
five years land exclusive Of New York
and Troy coulerences) it has been more
300. There is one Methodist TO every
twenty five of the population Of New
England. Since 1906, the Methodist
population has doubled every twelve
years, aud their church is now second IN
number, aud first in progress in New
England, according to accurate compar.

Great loss Of Lifs-Nine Houses destroyed

Great loss Of Lifs-Nine Houses destroyed
By Land Slide. 49, f.. FL.
1t is our melancholy duty to record the
most affecting disaster which has ever
happened in our city. On Friday afler-
noon at half past three O'Clock portion
Of The hill east of this city slid off and
overwhelmed nine houses; all of them,
with one exception, occupied by families,
At the time of the slide several men with
teams were engaged a, the bottom of the
bank, carrying off earth !; and narrowly
escaped with their lives. Not so, howev-
er, the unfortunate inmates of the dwell
ings; nearl ~ all of whom we're buried un-
der the mass of clay, which covered their
houses in several Instances to the depth of
! FIVE or six feet-crushing some to atoms,
and removing others bodily for the space
! of several yards.
| The distance from the commencement
of the slide 10 the outer edge OF the deposit
1 of earth which it has left, is not far from
200 yards. The earth having been car.
red more than 500 feet over dead level,
after it reached the bottom fthe hill
The soil being a remarkably unctuous
blue clay is doubtless the cause o. the ex-
traordinaTy space whlchthe slide covered.
The slide commenced about 100 yards
east of Filth st. and its southern extremity
i first encountered two houses adjoining
each other on the east side Of said street ;
both of which it destroyed.
The centre Of the slide was then precipi-
tated upon the head of Washington street,
erwhelming the buildings on both sides
OF said street. with the exception of one on
the corner of Washington and Hill streets,
I which was partially destroyed. The
number of houses destroyed on Washing.
ton street was eight. The slide passct
down Washington to Hill street, which j
crossed. and proceeding few yards be
yond il, was finally arrested.
The names of the occupants of the hou

SECOND ADVENT.

Brother Mmrdy:-It was said of Jesus,
"He hath devil and is mad, why hear we
him7" So il is now said Of the reformers
who teach the laws Of the everlasting king
dom. The time has come when the heavens
are being shaken, that those things which
can not be shaken may remain. Christ is
now coming in his Kingdom, 10 destroy the
man Of sin with his brightness, and TO con-
sumo him with the spirit of his mouth. The
heavens, or church, is being rolled together
as a scroll, and the fire that is to cons ume
il is already kindled. The earth aud her
works, Cor anli-human governments are TO
be burned up. The Laodicean church is
being spewed out, while the seventh trump
ct is beginning to sound, and The dead are
being raised 10 incompatible principles, and
are be ing changed into the Divine Image.
But WHAT'S the
Resurrection spoken Of by Jesus?
He says, "the lime is coming aud no1O
is, when they that are dead lin SIM shall
hear the voice of the Son Of God, and they
that hear shall live. Marvel not at this
for the hour is coming when all they that
are in their graves shall hear his voice, and
come forth, they that have done good 10 ths
resurrection Of life, and they that have dOn'
evil TO the resurrection of damnation." 4
is not to be supposed, (by any but those
who are sunk, in lraditionary ignorance,
that the bodies Of persons can ever be raises
again to life, that have changed to cOrrup

feel happy in having space in the Telegraph
thus occupied by my wife. My comfort and joy
in connection with the case, are increased from
the consideration that she has found her way out
from the labyrinth for herself; and is, by the
of her own energies, breaking off the shackles of
tradition and education, and travelling on in the
road of improvement. ~:..-
The facts which she discloses furnish an addi-
tional and striking specimen of the work of the
priesthood and the church. The entire influence
The priesthood assume to be guides, leaders and
teachers of the people. But they will not stir
step faster farther than they are driven or led
by public sentiment - of which sentiment they
at the same time claim TO be pre-eminentiy the
rightful formers and fashioners. The church and
the priesthood wait the one for the other. At
the same time, each excuses and defends the
other for not moving along. The church wait
for the priesthood, and the priesthood wait for
the church, The church excuse the priesthood,
and the priesthood excuse the church. And this
is not all. They unite and combine to hinder
those whom they look down upon, and call the
world. l said, look dozen upon. / might at the
same time say look mp to. They look up for pc
cuniary support to the same ones whom they
look down upon and call infdels in matters of
religion. They would hinder the progress of
reform out of the church, because it is standing
reproach to the church to have those whom they,
IN their assumption and self-rghteousness, call
! sinners and infdels, get in advance of them in
| purify and goodness-which is now taking place
rapidly. Such church and priesthood! Even
they both are an abomination to the Lord. " We
unto you, scFibes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
| we shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye
them that entering to go in" Lovers of Truth
and Salvation! !" Come out from among thenl"t
