shakes il is, after all. Santa Ana was al ORR
zaba trying to raise troops. He begs the gov
eminent to send him money. He has been
granting guerrilla commissions and forcing the
people to lend him money. His letters are in
the usual bombastic style. He promises to
pour out his blood for his dying country, and
denounces the Mexicans for not whipping the
invader. The newspapers berate him soundly,
and Gallon the nation to die in its tracks ra.
Their than give up. War, war, war-was the
cry. A Yankee has been arrested as spy. He
represented himself as an agent of our Govern
ment sent to offer peace No doubt he is some
of Mr.. Folks emissaries. An amnesty Of all
political offences has been declared by Con-
gress. The priests were giving the church
bells TO be cast into cannon at Toluca. It seems
that the conspiracy to retake this town failed
only for the want Of cash. One Of the mines has
loaned $4,000 to carry on the war. The San
Luis people were looking daily for Old Zach.
