CAPTURE OF THIRTY-oNE OF THE RUN
AWAY NEGROES.

We learn that yesterday morning, about o'clock,
gang of thirty-eight ofthese negroes were dscov-
cred on the Frederick road about fourth of mile
beyond Rockville Soon after the alarm was given,
the sheriff of the county, accompanied by posse
of citizens of that village, started in pursuit, and
came within sight of them near Gathersville, six
miles from Rockville. The negroes then left the
turnpike, striking into the woods, and were follow
ed closely by Capt Jackson and six men, who,
with the rest of the citizens, all mounted. The
main body of the pursuers under the sheriff posted
themselves where it was thought the negroes would
again enter the road. They however, made their
appearance in large field, fourth of mile from
where they had entered the woods and came to a
stand. Capt. Jackson and his companions soon
reached them, and called out to them to surrender
which they refused to do; and, closing their ranks,
commenced swapping pistols, with which many OF
them armed at therpursuers Finding that their
firearms could notbe discharged they commenced an
assault with stones and bludgeons, when Jackson
fired and wounded one slightly The whole body then
retreated to swamp on the other side Of the field
Soon afterwards, the main body of the citizens
joined their companions; and charging into the
swamp, fred a voley on the runaways, which
wounded eght-four seriously, and one dangerous.
ly. Twenty-three Immediately surrendered, and
the rest made off, Those who could walk, were Sc.
cured with ropes, and marched into Rockville, and
lodged in the county jail. The wounded were con.
veyed there in aiwagon. BY last night, eight Others
had been secured and lodged in the Jail with their
companions. The rest are probably retaken ere
this Some Of the negroes say that there is another
gang of thirty out, and others deny the statement
They eloped on Saturday last.

awILL MEXICO DECLARE WARP

Politicians here differ about the course which Mex
leo will pursue Governor Shannon and Captain
Stockton incline to the opinion that her camorous
and infatuated people will hurry the government in
to hostile measures. Other politicians here will not
believe that England will permit Mexico to declare
war; They say that it is her interest to keep her at
peace, and that England has peace or war in the
palm of her hand. few days must now decide
the question. Unless England is blindy intent
on war with the United States, and she may think
il the time to strike at us, she will urge upon her
ally to keep the peace.

FRoM DEMONSTRATION in Tabasco.--By the
Mexican schooner Atrcvida, Captain Sanchez, ar
rived yesterday from Campeachy, we learn that a
revolution broke out at Tabasco on the 18th June,
which resulted in the overthrow Of the constituted
authorities and central system.
But few particulars have reached us; but, from
house here, we learn that The garrison at Tabasco
headed by General Martinez and Colonies Montero
and Bruno, declared in favor of the federal govern
ment, and for the authorities that figured in 1884,
with the exception Of Santa Ana, who put down
said system at that time. They were successful in
the movement, meeting with little or no opposition.
The people remained quiet but the commercial COM
munity were dissatisfied with the movement fear
fu Of its consequences, and of the losses they might
sustain.
The Atrevida sailed from Campeachy on the Oath
June. She brought no news Of importance other
than the above.--[N o. PicGy,,ne, July 2.

When bright the sunbeams glare,
Which ever way our thoughts are turned,
That darksome shape is there.
