sand dollars, TO equip and forward volunteers
from this place TO Point Isabel, or at whatever
point they may be required.
The city is in great excitement. Guns are
being fired from the public squares, and drums

DENTAL SURGERY.
DOpGE A. PARMEI,E

nENTAL SURGEONS, Of Bond-strest, New
IL York, having practised the three past winters
in this city, respectfully TO their friends
and the public that they have concluded to keep
their Washington Office open during the entire year
in future at their present location on
Pennsylvania Ape., bet,oeea 9Th & 10Th sts
where one or both of the partners may always be
found in attendance. They respectfully tender their
professional services to their friends and the public,
and invite all who may require the advice and skill
of the experienced and practical Dentist to call on
them, learn their terms, and examine their claims to
public confidence and patronage. They would par
culary call attention to their patent method of fast
ening artificial teeth when set gold plate which
IS used by them alone in the city of Washington.
The most prominent advantages are the following
ISL II saves the pain attendant upon the removal
OF the roots of the front teeth when in healthy
condition, and makes those roots highly useful in
fastening the artificial teeth.
I'd. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use-
ful in the process of mastication than the common
mode.
Sd. IL renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
of the fastenings, enable the wearer to keep them
always clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. 1t is universally commend
ed by those who have availed themselves of its ad-
vantages.

York Of the highest responsibility and standing con-
tanning the strongest and most favorable testimon
ais, both as to the excellence of his private charac-

These satisfactory evidences of the man and the

that they did in lS42.

the following extract from a letter received by
Gen. Cameron in this city Union.
Brasos Santiago, (Teras, .aprit 27, 1876.
Dear Sir,-I embrace the opportunity of the
departure of vessel for New Orleans, TO an
nounce to you that hostiliteS have commenced
between the Mexican forces and the American
army OF occupation, under the command OF
Gen. Taylor. Yesterday, Capt Thornton, of
the I'd regiment of Dragons, with 20 Dragons,
encountered body of Mexican troops, few
miles from General Taylor's camp, and, after
a considerable fight, the Americans were cut
to pieces. One officer killed, certainly. A
wounded dragoon, who was sent back TO Gen
eral Taylor's camp, after the action, says he
counted AZ Of the party of Americans, killed,
wounded, and prisoners, leaving % OF the
party TO be accounted for most OF whom, 1t is
hoped, will succeed in getting back to General
Taylor'S camp. We have not the particulars
OF the affair, and only know, certainly, that an
afray has taken place between portions Of the
two armies.
The Mexican army is believed TO be 10 or
10000 strong. A considerable force is now
crossing, or has crossed, TO the left bank OF the
Rio Grande, with the view, 1t IS thought, oi
either attacking General Taylor's camp, or
this depot If they could take this place, and
thereby cut off General Taylor's supplies, he
would be compelled TO make rerograde
movement There are only two companies OF
troops at this post for It's defence but there
are some two hundred and fifty persons here,
besides soldiers-sutlers, clerks, and persons
in the employment Of the quarermaster's de
partment-all of whom are willing to defend
the place: 90 that we can probably muster
$50 men under arms. If they do not bring
too large force against US, we shall be able
TO hold out until succor arrives from New Oh
leans. or elsewhere. We have entrenched
ourselves.
Gen. TayIors situation, mean time, IS ra
ther critical one All his supplies are receiv
ed from this post, which is twenty seven miles
distant from his position, and requires consi
derabIe force TO guard each wagon train, and
by that means weakening his forces, which are
in the immediate vicinity OF hostile force
about four times as numerous. He has, to day
made reuuistons upon the authorities of Tex
as, aud Louisiana, and perhaps other States,
for troops; until the arrival of which, he mus
defend himself as well as he can. He is strong
" entrenched, and has several pieces of artille
nv, of which he expects an additional supply
from Baton Rouge in two or three days.
65- There was no further news by last nights
Southern mail. The accounts Of the position
of Gen. Taylor are confirmed. The Governor
Of Louisiana has issued his proclamation foI
the raising Of five regiments of Rihemen, and
ten of Infantry. TO be sent to reinforce General
