SAN LUIS DE PoTosI, I4th Nov.
The invaders are very near us-yesterday they
entered Satillo and must now also be in Tampico,
because the correspondence which should to-day
have gone to those points, has been cut of by or
der OF Gen. Santa Anna. Who knows what will
be our fate! However, we have about 25, 900 men,
with 80 twenty-four Founders, and full supply Of
ammunition OF all kinds, which is almost incredi-
BILE, but having seen it myself leaves no doubt on
my mind. There are 200 tacksmiths and car
penters working for the army, and besides the men
there are 1000 country women working on the for
t6cations, which is very satisfactory, as it shows
the enthusiasm and good will which animates the
people.
In one store there has been sold 10000 dag
gers, bought by the country people, both men and
women-in every direction we them making
ances, sharpening swords, aud fixing firearms, and
other warlike arrangements aud we are all getting
accustomed to the din Of arms.

All the above may not Of course be relied upon

A Vera Cruz paper ofNovember Goth states that
letter has been received from San Luis Potos,
dated Nov 18th, communicating the information
that there would be concentrated in that city in the
course Of that month the following forces From
10 TO 10000 infantry in a ine state Of equipment
40 pieces Of artillery, with the requisite ammuni-
ton and appointments; 5000 cavalry, permanent
and active, well mounted aud each dragoon with a
led herse and about 10000 cosacos, (cossacks or
irregular cavalry we presume are
meant) armed with lances and machetes. These
last are said to be intepded to harrass the invading
army on its march, acting under the direction Of
officers OF note directing all their efforts to annoy
the enemy, so that he may be beaten afterwards by
the regular army at the points designated by Santa
Anna who to strengthen himself, has ordered the
construction Of good Notifications.

rival in San Luis that Gems. Valencia. Cortazar and
Pacheco, the first named having division Of 5000
troops in the valley of San Francisco for want Of
quarters in the capital. The letter also speaks Of
the fine state in which were the two brigades un-
der the commands Of Gems Vasquez and Sombar-
DIM. 1t also commands the FIVE brigades Of cav
alry under the command Of Gems Minon, Romero
Juvera, Guezman and Cortozar. Il adds that
another body Of 5000 men is organizing in the
town Of Taa, which last are 10 act according to
circumstances after the Americans have taken pos
session Of Tampico, as the forces which occupy il
will be in communication with 1000 Americans
who have left Monclova for Monterey or Saltillo.
The Mexican report is that Gen. Taylor's army
consists Of FIVE or six thousand troops of the line
and fifteen thousand volunteers, with one thousand
wagons, whom the Mexicans represent as prepar-
ing to leave Monterey for San Luis Potosi the
2Ist November. 1t was supposed that he would
be about thirty days in traversing this extent Of

GEN. TAYLOR IN EURorE.--The Richmond En-
quirer publishes the following extract from letter TO
a gentleman in Richmond:
MADRID, July 22d, 1886.
Taylors victories have been felt more here, in Eu-
rope, even than at home. For two weeks between
the salngs OF the steamers suspense was great;
but, when the news did come, each American strut
ted out as large as life The papers which had pre-
dicted faylors capture as certain were sorely used
up. Taylor's dispatches have been greatly admired
for their terseness, dignity and modesty.
The greatest compliment yet paid to Taylor heard
OF in London. When the steamer of May 18th brot'
&England the news of Taylor's difficult position,
the Duke Of Wellington met Mr.. and the sub
Ject was introduced. "Why," said the Duke, ~does
ne not do this and thasr mentioning the steps he
thought Taylor ought to take.j When the steamer
oil June LIST brought the news of his victories, Mr.
- met the Duke again. ssYour Grace" said
he, "must have been advising Gen. Taylor-for you
see he has done exactly what you said he ought to
do" $50 he has, said the Duke, as much grati6ed
as If he had won the victories himself. As get this
from Gen. -,to whom Mr.. related it, it
is undoubtedly authentic; exact in substance and,
think, also verbatim.
In Bordeaux met whole souled American, live
Yankee ship owner, of New York, Mr.. Holmes. He
is OF the stufwhich when abundant in nation makes
1t great. He was at Trieste when the news of Tay-
Iors difficulties came. Americans were respondent,
and the folks there tcased him with predictions of
Taylor's capture. He answered by that decisive
Anglo-Saxon argument, the offer ola bet of 81 900
that Taylor would meet the Mexicans and rout them.
tie found no one to take it, for Austrans are not
betting pcoPlo.~Seon after, the news of Thorton's
capture came, and the folks congratulated him on
his bet not having been taken up. "Gentlemen,"
said he, "hcre is the thousand still, and another on
1t, that Taylor thrashes the Mexicans."
They almost doubted his sanity-buta week or
two afterward came single copy of Galignanis Mes

HE LED HER TO THE ALTAR.

HE LED HER TO THE ALTAR.
He led her to the altar,
But the bride was not his chosen:
He led her, with hand as cold,
AS though Its pulse had frozen.
Flowers were crushed beneath his tread,
A gilded dome was DER him;
But his brow was damp, and his lips were pale,
AS the marble steps before him.
His soul was sadly dreaming
OF one he hoped to cherish;
OF name and form that the sacred rites,
Beginning told must perish.
He gazed not ON the stars and gems -
of those who circIed round him.
But tremble as his lips gave forth
The words that falsely bound him..
Many voice was pralslng,
Many hand was profier'd;
But mournfuIly he turnd him
From the greeting that was offered;
Despair had fixed upon his brow
Its deepest, saddest token;
And the bIoodless cheek, the stlflcd sigh,
Betrayal his heart was broken.

A GOOD HUSBAND

When we see young man modest and retiring in
his manners, who cares less about dress than his
moral character, depend upon it, ladies' he will make
an excellent husband. If you see one who is kind
and attentive TO his mother, affectonate to his SIS
tiers, industrious in his habits and economical In his
business, rest assured you have found one of whom
you will never be ashamed. The ball room is no
place to find husband, the fashionable assembly is
no place: it is in the retirement home in the place
OF business-where you study character and dis
position and where the best not put on for effect
or display.
Many ayoung woman sadly misses it, who is car
ried away by bright look and splendid dress. The
man who makes the most polite bow and is most
graceful In his manners, is not always the most suit
able person for husband. Look at the heart study
the character an. learn the disposition.
There was once beautiful young lady, beautiful
to look upon we mean, who turned up her pretty
nose at shoemaker, and refused to acknowledge a
painter in the street, who finally married dashine
Top, the son OF wealthy man. Poor GIRL few
years OF misery passed away, and her husband be-
came reduced and she to maintain him actually took
In washing. Many shoemaker's wife, and many
painters daughter, has contributed to her comfort
during the last few years Of her life. Girls be wise
and look TO the heart if you want good husbands.
