TATIONS. The unparalleled and astonishing eff
cacy of Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, in all
the diseases for which it is recommended, curing
many after the skill of the best physicians was
unavang, has effected large and increasing de-
mand for it, This fact has caused several unpriuci-
pied counteTfeters and imitators TO palm OF spurious
mixtures, of similar name and appearance, for the
genuine Balsam. Some are called "Syrup of Wild
Cherry" "Ba!sam of Spikenard," ''WiId Cherry,
Comfrey," sc. Another, ''Wester's Balsam of Wild
Cherry" misspeng the name, and forging cerd-
Gates to resemble those of the true Balsam. CDR.
Wisar's Basam of Wild Cherry" is the only genuine.
The rest merely initiate the name of the original,
while they possess none of its virtues.

DISTRESSING CALAMITY. A daughter OF
Mr.. Willis Roland, who lives on the bank OF
the Ohio river, near Hanover landing, says the
Cincinnati Gazette, was drowned on the 9TH
inst under most distressing circumstances
She was going down the river bank, which is
very steep, fol a bucket of water, when her
dress caught on root, and in attempting to
disengage herself from it she tripped and pluDg-
cd headlong into the river. Her mother and
sisters, and little brothers, rushed to the bank,
but it was impossible for them to afford any as
sistance, and amidst their screams of unavail-
ing grief, she sunk to rise no more. Her father,
who was working out at some distance, hear
ing the cries of DISTRESS ran to the place, and
when he was shown where his daughter had
sunk, plunged into the river at the imminent
risk of his life, but could not find her.

TEXAS RANGER. .,I. ,sa t-r.0
The steamship New York arrived at
New Orleans on the 1st inst, from Gal
weston with dates to the 3Oth ult. A cor
respondent Of the Commercial Times writes
as follows: saG "rHoeanl.-
Gen. Taylor took possession Of Mata-
moras without opposition on the 18th. He
sent out Capt. Walker and a company of
Dragons, on scouting party, to observe
the Mexican army on their retreat. They
had q slight skirmish with the vanguard
Of the army, i'm which they killed several of
the enemy, and took twenty-five prisoners.
It was reported that the enemy are
strongly terrifying Monterey, and receiving
strong reinforcements. Gen. Taylor, it is
supposed, has now about 5000 men and re-
Inducements coming in daily. This news
reached here by the sloop Tom Jack, which
left st. Joseph's on Monday, The steamer
Sea reached st. Josephes few hours be-
fore the New York left, and furnished the
passengers with the above information.
A party Of Americans, to the number Of
. IL, had been to the Rio Grande, ON a trad
ing expedition, about the time of the com.
mencement Of hostilities, and wereon their
return to Corpus Christi, where they resi-.
ded. They were attacked on the road by
q party of Mexicans, and all killed except
one. who escaped in most miraculous
manner. After they had killed or wound.
ed oil the Americans, who were for the
most part unarmed, they stripped them Of
their clothing, and then cut all their throats.
They next tied them in couples and threw
them into the Rio Grande. ha
Among the party was an old man ,namet
Rodgers, with his.two sons. The younger
ofthe two sons was tied to his father, anc
thus thrown into the river. In 'cutting hi.
throat, they were in such haste, that they
did not inAict mortal wound. The younf

sTUPENDoUS EFFORTS OF MEXICO
TO CARRY ON THE WAR-LEVYO ON
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
PAREDES-THE BRIG HELEN Nc
LEOD SAFE, &c. ... .
By an extra from the New Orleans Pi-
cayune, we have advices from Vera Cruz
to the 10Th ult., brought by the arrival Of
the bark Louisiana, Capt. Williams.
The Louisiana sailed in company with
the Helen Mcleod, leaving no American
merchant vessels in port. The brig Pc
tersburg, for New York, got away on the
Goth. ...,r ..,0...... ..,.'
The blockade of the port of Vera Cruz
commenced on the goth. Fifteen days
were allowed to all neutral vessels in port
to load and depart .IH. .'.-
By orders from the Mexican Govern
ment the American Consul's Office was to
be closed, and he and all American citizens
were to leave by the Goth. On that day the
Consul expected to go on board the steam
frigate Mississippi. This frigate apd the
Raritan were at anchor off Vera Cruz on
the 25th and the sloop of war Falmouth
was lying on the port.
The Louisiana and Helen Mcleod got
off in great haste to prevent being seized
The day they sailed news reached Vera
Cruz that Mazatlan and Topic had pro-
nounced in favor Of Sants. Anna. Gen.
Alvarez was still carrying on his hostile
operations i'm the south part Of the depart
ment of Mexico.
A report was in circulation that Gen.
Paredes intended to leave the city Of Mexi-
co at the head Of more troops to reinforce
the army at the North. 4, a
The animosity existing against the A.
mericans has been violently increased by
the news of the two actions of the 9Th and
9th ult. @3
The enormous forced loans which the
Government had imposed upon the clergy,
the latter had declared itself totally unable
to meet. The metropolitan church wa.
ordered to raise a subsidy Of $685. pei
month; the church of Michoacan $35, ,0OC
of Durango $4,000, and of Oajacs
: $4,000. This shows that the President j
determined to prosecute'the war with ener
gy. He can never collect such loans.
Senior Gomez Farias, so we'll know
here, has been arrested by the Govern
ment.
Gen. Almonte was made formal re
signation of his mission to France.
In regard to the report as to Parede
putting himself at the head the army, e
Republican, says it is uncertain whether h
will repair to the Rio Grande or to Ver'
, Cruz; but that he will leave the capital a
soon as Congress assemblies.

the 9th and 9th had reached the capita
and appeared in the official journal. The
are more accurate than Mexican bulletin

news was received with profound regre

Of our vessels. On the 18th an American
vessel approached the port, and was imme-
diately boarded by our officers and forbid
den to enter the port. In the night, how
ever, she succeeded in slipping into port.
There we're two American vessels, in port
when the #. left--the barque Louisiana
!, and the brig Helen McLeed--who had par
tally discharged their cargoes, but under
the order from the Minister General of
War and Marine, they would probably be
seized. From all we can gather, the gov
+. ernment is making the greatest exertions,
straining every nerve to carry on the war
with the utmost vigor, and by the most ar
bitrary measures had replenished the treas.

o The Castle Of San Juan de Ulloa, as our
: last accounts state, was in perfect state of
defence, and the officers in command were
confident Of being able to repel an attack.
They will shortly have an opportunity of
displaying their skill in gunnery, and form
ing an intimate acquaintance with our ma
val force. The contractor Of supplies for
the Mexican squadron had been placed un-
der arrest by the authorities. . aaas .a
y The Mexicans were in high glee at the
various gasconading dispatches received
from the camp Of Matamoras, which spoke
with the utmost enthusiasm of the brilliant
condition of their army, and predicted the
most magnificent triumphs over the Amer
ican forces. The capture Of Col. Thorn
toms command was daily paraded in the
columns Of FL D;ario Official as ga great
triumph of the Mexican arms" and the
particulars Of the capture of the party who
had "entrenched themselves in the Corral"
as they were pleased to term the riding of
our dragons into the farmers enclosure
whore they were surrounded by such an
overwhelming force; and the names of the
officers and men all placed in the columns.
The attack upon Captain Walkers little
command by the Mexicans under Don
Rafael Quintero, was spoken Of as another
glorious triumph, in which eight Texans
were killed, and four taken prisoners
Quintero was the only man wounded, says
the despatch, and he was shot with rifle
ball in the left arm. The despatch says
nothing about the number Of Mexicans
killed in the action. .ra... j.
On the Goth April, J J. Schatzel, the
American Consul, and other American
citizens, protested against their expulsion
from Matamoras BY Gen. Ampudia, and
their having been ordered to proceed to Vic
soria without time being allowed them to set
tie their affairs. '-@ s. ra9S
Arista replied under date Of 2sth April,
that the proceeding was not against the law
Of nations as alleged by them and that he
could not remedy the decree, but that they
may leave the country via Tampico, and
give directions to their agents respecting
their property, which had always been res,

The Mexican government is making
every effort to carry out the war with sue.
