important from Mexico,

Mr.. SIideI probably receued! Gen. Mera marching on
the Rio BraUe! Gen TdyorS forces on their march I
! A collision threatened.
Mexico continues in high state of fermentation
and appears to be on the eve of mighty revolution.
We have dates from Vera Cruz to the 10th ult thro'
the New Orleans papers,
1t is announced that President Parades will take the
field in person. if the with the United States is
commenced by attack upon the part of our fleet y
ing at Vera Cruz.
El Republican, sets down Gen. Taylors force at
5000 men marching upon Metamoras, while another
column of 1000 men is moving to a higher point on
the Rio Grande, and yet the General commanding the
vanguard of the Mexicans is totally destitute of re-
sources to make head against them-so says the Mon
itor.
Gen. Mexa, the Mexican General, is marching on
the Rio Bravo with repiorcements to meet the United
States General, Taylor, who is about encamping on
the eastern banks of that river.
The Mexican press--both opposition and admins
tratlon clanorous for with the United States
and the official journal says the president is doing all
in his power to be able to commence htstilities.
1t is not yet certain that Mr. Sdell is received by
the Mexican Government although letters say he
will be, He was at Jaapa at the last dates.
Letters from Vera Cruz, dated the 18th inst repre-
sent that he must soon leave Jalapa-t was uncertain
whether for the capital Vera Cruz-the better o.
pinlon at Vera Cruz that he would repair to the
CAPITOL or, in other words that he would be received
| by the present government
| Gen. Santa Anna has issued curious and extraor-
binary manifesto from Havana
The U. S. brig of war Somers, arrived at Vera
Cruz on the Sth. There were lying at Sacr6cios
frgate and three sloops of war; all belonging to the
Gulf squadron. One British sloop of war was also
there.
Gen. Mexa had pushed forward 400 infantry to pro-
tect the Point Sta. Isabel and Gen. Parrodi very
busy in drumming up supplies to repel INVASION The
Mexicans think they will be able to concentrate 5000
men on the Rio Bravo by the LIST of April.
1t appears from Vera Cruz paper that the Cum
berand is the U. S. frigate lying at SACRIFICES. Ell
Locomotor gives minute account of her armament,
as well as of the St. Mary's.
P, S. Mr.. Slide has been rejected the
Council Of State having decided that Minister
Plenipotentiary from the u S. cannot be recei-
we'd under existing circumstances.
New Leon and two other provinces are de-
clared to be ready for revolt upon the first
| favorable moment.
A new cry is going forth, declaring Santa
Anna to be " the only man living who can sue
coed at the head of the Democratic party to
crush the Royalists" This may bring him
: again into power

A still further proof is that the northern Bishops
have officially asserted that Bishop Andrew would
have had labor assigned him had he made applica-
ton and that another plan of labor was made out by
the Bishops in which he was included, and delivered
to Bishop Soue with the direction to have it published
as the official one, should he apply,
five look at speeches made by northern men in the
debate on the subject, worse picture is seen. They
were on the ground of expediency. What was the
matter? Why band Of men devoted to the cause Of
God and the bleeding slave had bid their farewell to
pro-savery Church, and were exposing the position
occupied by them to such degree that their numbers
would go off by troops if they did not make them be-
leve that they were doing something. What noble
object this for the highest authority of Church pro-
Tossing to be raised up by God to spread scrpura ho-
illness over the land 1t was the general sentiment
that Bishop Andrew was brother beloved. One of
them who made speech, and now has charge of a
circuit in the north part of the State of New York;
Troy Conference, expatiated the noble battles he
had fought for Shareholders against abolition, while he
urged that something must be done to save the north
What glorious war against slavery this must have
been Yet this is the battle so often appealed to by
members who still adhere to that Church. Let honest
abolitioniss blush at such satisfaction
Yours for the oppressed,

Brutality Extraordinary.

A short time ago German and his wife, both Ger
mans, were brought into Galena by teamster. They
established themselves on the way side on some straw
and the woman was sick, suffering from dropsy in the
chest They were partially relieved by widow wo
man, until their case came to the knowledge of the
German Benevolent Society, by whom they were spec
Oily relieved and furnished with money. The man
had all along protested their utter poverty and desu
tion but from suspicious circumstances, it was
proposed to open unpreendng box that constituted
their furniture. At the bottom Of this, they had q
purse of money, containing near seventeen hundred dol
lars. The wants ofthe woman were Immediately sup.
piled from the brutal misers hoard and such steps ia
ken as will render the short timo she will probably
live, as comfortable as possbe.-.MItoa,kie Gazette.

Extraordinary Suicide One of the most exraord
nary and melancholy of suicide and infanticde
it ever lot to record, has just come to light
On Thursday afternoon last, about o'clock, a Mrs
Powers, residing in 18th st. below Baltimore, left her
home, taking with her an infant child aged Is months
leaving behind her the following note:
Dear Husband: When you get this l will be no
more. The lion has prevailed to drive me from my
home Inourshed the snake in my Bosom all winter,
and now it turns me out of my home and away from
my dear children Dear Robert take the children to
your aunt Jane Morton, and tell her to be mother tc
them. You need not search for me- for am going to
throw myself into the wheels at the water works.
Farewell my all. | take my baby with me. My troub
les will soon be at an end"
Her determination has been too sadly carried into
execution. Yesterday her body with that of her nfan
tied fast to her bosom, were foundn the Schuykill!
It is heart-rendng case, and which has caused
great sensation among the friends and relations of the
family. What was her real motive is yet mystery
but what must be the agonzing feelings of her hus
band, Robert Powers
The deceased has left several children to lament he
unfortunate end.-Phiia. pap.

Boston, His Honor, Judge Woodbury. delivered very
learned and elaborate opinion in the of Ion and
Talbot in Equity, ., Smith. This was a case arising
under the Massachusetts Insovent Law and the point
to be decided was whether discharge under that law
was binding upon a citizen of New York, The bill
in this was brought to obtain an injunction
suit brought by the defendant, citizen of New York.
in the u s. Court for the District of Massachusetts, in
which he attached property of the maker of note.-
The Court dismissed the bill, thus giving to foreign
creditor advantage over citizens of Massachusetts.
The fate of many suits now pending has hung upon
this decision

MILES FISK

John G. Whittier says
"When l was at Washington during the past win
ter, one of the leading members of the Democratic
Delegation in Congress- said to me on the very day
when, under the party drill he gave his vote for Sa-
very and Texas, /" Hale is right He is making no
BILE effort, and hope to God he will demonstrate by
his success that it is safe to be honest"
He has succeeded! and his success has broken the
spell which has hitherto held reluctant Democracy in
the embraces of Slavery. The tide of Antslavery
feeling long held back by the dams and dykes of the
party has at last broken over all BARRIERS and is rush
ing down fromyour Northern mountains upon the slave
cursed South, as if Niagara stretched its foam and
thunder the whole length of Mason & Dixons line
Let the first wave of that Northern flood as it dashes
against the walls of the Capitol, bear thther for the
first time an Anti-savery Senator.

WAKING uP.-The New York Evangelist, speaking
of the discussion going on between Drs. Bacon ant
Phelps, says-"'l he time has come for courageous
temperate and honest consideration of the duty of the
Churches in respect to Slavery; and though it is at
tended wifi many difficulties, and embarrassed by
more conflicting opinions and views than almost any
other subject in the whole range of doctrines and du
ties it deserves, and we trust will receive calm anC
earnest attention. and that such practical results will
be reached as to tend to rid the church of what felt
and confessed to be enormous evil, and to secure
to the neglected and much-abused slave beginning
of that Just and equal treatment to which he is enti-
tied Difficulties will not diminish by deferrng the
NATTER nor its evils grow less by negecting to correct
them"

Mr.. S. w. FOwLE,- Sir--Two years ago the
past winter sudden and violent attack upon my lungs
by exposure to cold, confined me to my room and bed
for several weeks and when I recovered was SO
much oppressed by difficulty in breathing, that was
incapable of rapid walking and violent exercise, and
often unable to sleep rest upon bed by night.
The suffering was frequently extreme, and Judging
from the inefcacy of the remedies used, supposed
the disease incurable Being persuaded to try bot
tie of Wistar's Basam of Wild Cherry without the
least confidence in It's efficacy that of any other pre-
scripton no one can fully understand my surprise and
Joy, when found the difficulty almost entirely reno
we'd before one bottle was used up. Having mortal
aversion to medicine, and seldom using it in any form,
nothing but sympathy with my fellow sufferers induces
me to make this public statement, and recommend the
article to others similarly afflicted.
With respect, yours truly
