March oath, lsi7, and signed by John Gaines, major
John Borland major Cassius M. Clay, captain; c, c.
Darby, captain and G. r. Davidson on behalf of their
respective commands, amounting, in ALL to II persons)
that these American prisoners have been grevousy
wronged and detained in the prisons of the capital that
Santa Anna has violated his word of honor; and that
General La Vega "has not honored them with any notice
whatever" Can it be true that General La Vega and
Others instead OF being confined in the castle Of San
Juan, sent TO the United States, has been let loose al
Vera Cruz and permitted to remain there We trust
there is some mistake in this respect-tha these Mexi-
can officers should be sent at to the United States
and put in coventry, until injured countrymen
have been relieved from their grievances.

made up differed, equipped, and their march to
Alton, the place of rendezvous And not only this; but
egh more companies are also ready and tender their

State that in twelve hours after the call had reached that
city, and notice given, three full companiestwo OF in
fanry and of cavalrywere raised, organized, and
ready for the service.
The prompness with which this call has been met by
this gallant and patriotic State has induced the President
to consent TO the raising of another regiment OF ten
panies OF infantry, and of cavalry, whose destination
will be Vera Cruz, the Brazos, to reinforce the army
in Mexico And there is doubt but that the further
call now made upon their patriotism will be responded
with equal alacrity.

This Range may be set in an ordinary fire

tuS, the throat of The chimney may in an instant

This range is so constructed that il takes uT
but small space and yet it contains all the

mount; and it being constructed as II ls the Boil

and it consequently boiS much sooner, and with
a smaller amount of fuel than the old fashioned
Ranges, or cook stoves. II contains five boilers
four of which may be converted into two by Ia
