POisOning!-A Dreadful Act,

A letter from the Parish of Sabine, Tex
as, written by brother of the Clerk of
the House of Representatives of louisa
ma, says:
: There has been one of the most unex-
ampled acts of poisoning committed in
Shelby county, Texas, that / have ever
heard of.
There was a wedding at old old Mr..
Wilkinson's of an orphan girl he raised,
at which all the invited guests were pois-
oned, including the bridesmaid and
groom's-man. Out of sixty persons pois.
oned, thirty, DR.. Sharp says, will certainly
die. Ten or twelve are already dead,
including two sons Of preacher Britton,
two Castleberrys-the enc young man
and the other young woman--one of the
SIaughters and his wife.
Strange to tell, none of the family was
injured. nor yet the bride and groom yet
one ofthe brides maids died in the house,
Old Wilkinson has absconded. This
portion ofTexas is in arms. and wo betide
the guilty! What write you is the fact
without exaggeratien.

.Ihe wing prints are already beginning
to take the back track in regard to the
nomination of Gen. Taylor for the Pres
ldency. Here is a specimen of this
retrogrsde movement, from the Boston
Wig:
WHAT IS THE TRUE PoLIcY?-We are
inclined to the opinion that the furry oc.
casioned by the news from Buena Vista
is gradually passing off, and that those
newspapers and individuals who have
manifested so much precipitate eagerncss
to get upon the back of military chief
tain. are beginning to feel'the insecurity
OF their position, and to repent their haste.
Even that division Of the wing party from
which we expected the strongest demon
strationE in Gen. Taylor's favor, has on
the contrary shown itself disposed to hold
back, in the hope that its old favorite Mr..
Clay, may yet be called fol- by the popu-
lar voice. lfthere were before any doubt
on this point: the speeches made by
Messrs. White and Thayer at the late an
niverSary supper in New York, are cal
culatcd to set it entirely ct rest. We
understand it to he admitted that even in
the popular meeting at Philadelphia,
which nominated Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency, the cheers and shouts when.
ever the name of Henry Clay was mem
toned, far exceeded those in favor of the
nominee. We are therefore driven to the
conclusion that the movement which has
been made was the effect of hasty i'm.
pulse communicated by some viii gs of
the slaveholding states, and particularly
of Virginia, for the purpose of aiding them
better to sustain themselves in the cleo
tons, and that it does not meet with the
ceuntenance of the wiser & more thought.

The following from the correspondence
OF the n. O. Bulletin, under date of Tam.
Pico, May 6, 1917:
A mail was received here yesterday
from the city of Mexico. Ihavc not seen
any OF the papers, bat have learned from a
reliable source that the Mexicans in the
interior, since the fall of Vera Cruz and
the battle of Cerro Gordo, have become
fully aroused to their situation. They are
flying to arms in every direction, and are
determined TO dispute with us everv inch
OF ground. The present government Of
Mexico is straining every nerve to carry
on the war with renewed vigo, among
other movements it is making. is he
granting of captains commission to anv
person who may raise company of tween.
ty.fve mounted men. who, besides their
regular pay are entitled TO all the plupdar
they can take from the Americans.
1t the above statements be correct. and
you will bear in mind that obtained them
rom a Mexican, then has the guerilla
warfare commenced in earnest. Thex
may annoy US for while, bu, ultimately.

The volunteers going home are the

THE CRY OF PUEBLA.-The city OF
Puebla is said to be about one hundred
miles from Vera Cruz, on the way to the
capitol. 1t is one of the most remarkable
places in Mexico, or on the western con-
tineht. Its population is estimated at
$4,000, and its Churches are noted for
their elegance and wealth. The cathe-
dral is magniiicently ornamented build
ing, and is said to have cost $4,000, 900.
There are ten chapels attached to it-all

was confined in the prison of Santa 90.
Gen. LA YEGA was for some time at the
city Of Mexico after the arrival Of Major
Gaines and his fellow prisoners, but i.
appears that he made no effort 10 secure
them comfor table quarters. The Picay.
Vne. contrasts the treatme nj received by
Gen. La Vega when prisoner, with his
conduct towards Mai. Gaines and party.
Santa Anna has violated his pledge, by
failing to release the prisoners for whom
he received liberal exchange.
Tho three thousand released at Cerro
Gordo should procure the release of the
aeyenty Americans now confined at the
capital. But as no Mexican cherishes
any regard for honor or faith, different
and less generous course must be adopted

pTA letter in la Patria states that
Santa Anna has issued, from Orzaba,
over 100 commissions to as many guerilla
officers, authorizing them to command
smell itinerant parties of fifty to two hun
dred men each. Some of these, it is adj
ded, have already commenced what we
should call their ''cut-throat operations, I"

says that it was at the instance of the

abandoned. Believing that any defencos
