Inter from the Rio crande.

Mr.. Bisby, chief engineer Of the steamship
Galveston, arrived here last night from Poverty
Point, and from him we learn that the Calves
ton left Brazos Santiago on tho 9th inst, at IL
NJ, and Galveston on the 10th, at s P. M.
The army was about moving up the river
to take the small towns. The steamers New
York and James L. Day arrived at Point Isabel
on the 9th inst, the latter has been retained to
convey troops from Point Isabel to Barita, or
the Ri Grande.
Gen. Taylor had made the first movement
towards the invasion Of Mexico.
Sixty commissioned and non-commissione(
officers, attached to the U. s. Army, arrived
here in the Galveston, ordered on the recruiting
service.
Governor Butler also came passenger, he hal
made an important treaty with the CamOnches
Mr.. Bisby, heard that the Mexican General
had sent Gen. Taylor a message, telling him 4
withdraw his troops from Matamoras, or h
would annihiIate them. Gen. Taylor sent hin
his compliments, saying he should be delighte'
to sec him. There are on board the Galveston
1870 souls, or thereabout, most Of them sick o
wounded. Among them are Capt. Saunders c
the U. S. Army, Capt. Hooe, who has lost hi
arm, Maj. Bell, U, s. Paymaster, and Con
Moore, on his way to Washington Troptc'

Includingth the troops required lromthe North
ern States to be enrolled and held in readiness
for any emergency, acquisitions were made Tor
yerg nearly the whole Of the fifty thousand vol
unteers authorized by Congress to be. raised,
and The Executive Of the several States took
prompt measures for raising and enrolling
them.
Notwithstanding the large and fully sufficient
force thus called fol, the Department. was com
PEELED but with the greatest reluctance TO re-
cognize acquisitions Of Gen. Gaines ina few IN
stances, where the troops would have actually
started for Texas before intelligence Of the
requisition could reach this place. Under any
other circumstances, these acquisitions would
have been repudiated and refused any recognl-
ton whatever. The in Information that Gen Gaines
has made still further Unauthorized calls. the
extent Of whiGhthe Dcpartm't cannot Q, en con
lecture, places the government in the most enl'
barrassing situation. The troops that may
respond to them cannot be recognized as vol
%untcers, for the number authorized to be rails
ed has either been called for or accepted BY
this Department in the manner ex plained. They
cannot be received or recognized as militia, 10.
the calling for militia imposes upon the Presl
dent the responsible duty Of calling only TO
such as the exigency of the case demands, AM
there was no necessity whatever for these; al
amply sufficient force having already beef
called for to meet, not only existing, but al
probable emergencies. Under no pretext what
}, ever. therefore would the President be %justife'
n in recognizing the unlawful and unauthorlze'
0 requisition Of Gen. Gaines.
J The President deeply regrets and deploro
this state Of things. lie has the strongest an
most lively appreciationofth the ardent patriotlSI
and disinteresledness which have caused man
Q estimqblo citizens to leave their homes and %
equations for the purpose Of Fastening to tn
scene aE action, upon what, however mistaken
", they honestly supposed to be calls from o
authorized source.
~ But he can only extend to them his admire
lion Of their disinterestedness and devotion
their country's cause, and his sympathy for ar
inconvenience to which their not being recei
ed into service may unfortunately suble
them.
Under thase circumstances beg leave 10
quest that should Gen. Gaines have made az
acquisitions upon your Excellency, you W
NOT comply with them, or discontinue al
a. measures you have taken do so. II any SUE
n measures have been adopted by you which ha
or led individuals to incur expenses, the Preside
on being advised Of such cases, will cheerful
present them to Congress for the equitableco
sideration of that body, having no authority

FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Hibernia, from Liverpool,
May 10th, arrived at Boston on the LIST instant
The Corn Importation bill passed to its third
reading in the British House of Commons on
the 10th Of May, by a majority Of seventy
eight, and had been sent for concurrence to the
House of Lords. The British press discuss We
ry freely the resolutions of the United States
Congress, for giving '%notico' of the abrogation
Of the treaty Of 1927, concerning Oregon ter
ritory, 1t seems the prevailing opinion that
the matter being thus brought SO near a crisis,
the British Government will make no delay in
sending out further proposals as its ultimatum
what those further proposals will be, however,
there is no means Of knowing beyond the in
%ferences that may be drawn from the DISPOSE
ton heretofore manifested, and we do not dis
cover any reason to think they will be Of a
character more acceptable to this country than
Mr.. Packenham's proposal Of Autumn last,
which was rejected with universal consent.
The proceedings Of Parliament, furnish little
beyond the vote on the corn bill, that is inter
esting in this country. In the final debate on
that bill, Lord John Russell made ~allusion to
the relations of England and the United States
as follows:
"Hon. gentlemen opposite conceive that thu
bill will tend to lower this country among tn,
nations Of the globe. l consider, on the con
trary, that it will tend to raise this countr,

The following letter Of the Secretary of War
to Gen. Gaines, requires no comment at our
hands. 1t speaks for itself.
WAR DEPARTMENT, May 90, 1896.
SIR: His Excellency the Governor of Ken
lucky has notified this Department that, in COM
pliance with a call from you under date the 4th
instant, he has caused torbe organized and sent
forward, a volunteer force composed Of 8 COM
panies, denominated the "Louisville Legion"
destined for Texas.
This call, as you must be aware, has been
made by you without the sanction flaw, and
as similar calls appear to have been made by
you without IauthOrity from tho President or

embarrass the Government, you are hereby d-
rected to discontinue your independent action
in these matters and to conine yourself to car
rying out the orders and views ofthe President,
SO far us' they may be communicated to you
from this Department. You will forthwith le'
woke any call you may have made on States for
volunteers and militia, beyond the number al
ready sent into Texas, or to Gen. Taylor un-
der ;hese calls.
The Louisville Lc%gion.haying been sent for
ward, although contrary to the views and wish
es Of the Department, as conveyedi in a commu-
%nicotion to his Excellency, the Governor of
Kentucky Of the 18th inst, the President has
thought properto give directions to have then
received and mustered into service, You will
therefore, cause the Legion to be embarked
for Point Isabel, to report to Gen. Taylor, shoult
, it have arrived Il at New Orleans,
+ The appointment Of Gen. Debuys, as Inspec
tor General Of Volunteers, which you report i
your letter of the 10th inst, as having bee
made by you is not recognized or confirmed
The President himself has noau,hority to max
similar appointments under existing laws: nc
are you authorized to add to your staff by al
q pOinatnents from civil lifc-no such appoinr
: ments will be recognized.
y The Department has reason to believe tht

employed as a%rtizans, &c.,&c. Such mea
ure is unwarranted by law and is disapprove

RemarkableI-A gentleman in New Jer-
sey, near Philadelphia, had been for a long
time sick, and was treated in the usual way
for an affection OF the lungs by two eminent
physicians, until the disease assumed such a
malignant form that they declared the patient
had a confirmed consumptiOn-that medicine
could do no more, and he must de- His
breath was so affected by the disease tnat no
one could stay in his room but a short time
At this stage, when all hope had fled, a friend
gave, him a bottle of Wistaraa Baham Of wa
Cherry declaring that at any rate it could dc
him no harm. He took it and grew much bet
ter. He continued the use of it, and by using
three or f ur bottles was completely cured.
We shall have the full particulars OF the
above case in few days, duly certified, SO tina
no one can dispute it.

The following from the Wa Department re-
quires no comment. The fiat has gone forth
from Mr. Polk that Gaines shall be destroyed,
and ii matters little to Polk If the country is
destroyed too, provided hesbe the next Presi-
dent. We also call attention to another
letter to Gen. Gaines in to-day's paper.
Wal DEPARTMENT,
9th June, 1916.
en:--The President and this Department.
have learned with astonishment and regret.
that Cen. Gaines, without any instructions OIL
authority whatever, has taken uPonhimself tht
responsibility to cali for troops from various
states ii the South, Southwest and West, be
yond what was authorized BY the requisition 0
Cen. Taylor, and considering the requisitionh
from this Department, wholly beyond what Iii
~exigeneios or tho case demanded or justified
Including the troops called for BY Gen Taylor
who was the only officer authorized to max
such calls, tho Department promptly mnde re
auisitions for all which could possibly be re
auircd under existing circumstances.

MEXICAN CANNON BGLLs.-A correspondent of
the Newark Daily Advertiser, writing from the
camp near Matamoros, states that the severely
wounded Of our army are Notifying and drop
ping off; and he attributes this fatality not only
to the excessive warm weather, but also to the
fact that the Mexicans use copper instead of
lead or iron balls, These balls,says the Charles
ton News, we understand from another source,
are rough, and in places coated with verdigris.
The efec Of a wound occaeioned by a weapon
50 poisonous may be readily conceived. The
use of poisonous arrows, adds the News, is a
custom to be expected from a horde ofsaVages
but not to be tolerated in a nation clOiming to
be civilized, AND whose generals declared theiI
intention to conduct the war on the principles
and according to tho usages of civilized war
fare. Such a.procoeding has justlyoutraged the
feelings of the whole army, and vengeance
vengeancem says the writer, is the cry day
and night, from wounded comrades dying from
the poisonous shot,"
