more on the subject to-day than the above Off
cal proceedings.
The Guard says that several English gentle
men who arrived at Saltillo on the Sd inst,
from Durango, report Col Doniphan to have
8 started from Chihuahua on the LIST April for
5 Saltillo, by way of San Jose del Parral. This
: agrees with the report we had in the papers of
, the city of Mexico, but the latter allege that
the force returned to Chihuahua after having
r proceeded twenty odd leagues south. We have
great hopes this is true, and that the report all
: ready alluded to of Col Doniphan's defeat may
3 have grown out Of This rerrogaoe movement.
4 The Guard thinks the whole command must
be within few days. march of Satillo but
, 1t had not probably heard of the return to Chi
huahus, or, hearing Of it, did not credit it.
The same English gentlemen from Durango
make the following report which We copy from
the Guard:
On the route they saw Gen Garcia Condo on
his way TO Durango, with so men, having as
prisoner Gen. Herredia, who commanded at the
battle OF Sacramento. He is accused of trea-
son and OF being fond of American gold. All
the rest OF the troops had dispersed for their
homes. Durango was in great state of alarm,
dreacing the arrival of Gen. Wool, who was
expected by them daily. MI James Magoffin
was prisoner, with the city for his prison liz
mits, but well treated by the Mexicans.
Every thing was quiet in California, the
whole country in possession of the Americans,
and avery great influx of families and settlers
from Oregon.
The Monterey Pioneer thinks that On ad.
vance upon San Luis is designed by Gen. Tay-
or, as unusual activity prevails in all the de-
parments, and four trains loaded with subsis-
tence stores, have recently arrived at that
place.
The Matamoros Flag says that Gen. Urea
has issued proclamation to the citizens of
Cadareyte, very similar in tone to that of Santa
Anna. He calls upon the town for contribu-
ton towards supporting the war, and also orders
under arms all able-bodied males between the
ages of l6 and As. Immediately after having
issued this proclamation he set off for the city
of Mexico.
The following interesting items are all from
the Flag;
Romano Paz, notorious Mexican robber
and murderer, was captured in the vicinity OF
Old Reynosa, BY Capt. Reid, of the steamer
Corvette, and brought down to this city on
Wednesday last, where he is now imprisoned.
! 1t appears that he holds the rank of captain
| der Canales, and visited the settlements near
Reyncsa for the purpose Of inducing the
cheros to join his standard The people were
not disposed to join him, and sought an oppor-
tunity to place him in the hands of the Ameri-
cans. This was effected by informing Capt
Reid of his Whereabouts and designs, who col
ected force from the boat and made him pri-
soner at rancho where he had been quartered
for several days.
Iii stated in the Monterey Pioneer, upon the
authority of gentleman from San Luis Potosi,
that but few hundred effective troops were in
that city, and that the hospitals were filled with
the sick and wounded, who were dying for want
Of attention. A report reached there that Gen
Taylor was within thres days. march of the
city, which caused hundreds of the inhabitants
to uamos with their property.
The Flag contains the following announce
ment Of a marriage:
.Married-In Mier, Mexico, Capt. J. R. Ever
lit, of Texas, formerly of Mobile, Alabama,)
to miss Antonta Flores, daughter of Lieut..
Manuel Flores, of Mier.
The letter from Capt. Everit, cont aiming the
above announcement, concluded with the fol-
lowing characteristic postscript:
MI E. Martin and myself were attacked last
night 10Th inst.) by fifteen or more Mexicans,
on the road from Mier, about sixteen miles a.
bove Camargo. W. killed three, broke the leg
OF fourth and stampeded their horses as we
sloped, after giving them the benefit of every
shot we had. The horses were held in the
bushes, short distance from where we were at
tackled, and the two Mexicans in charge fed as
presented my empty fve-shooter.
HIxrs WORTH REMEMBERrNs.-No man should
ever take a paper when he can borrow one
from any Of his neighbors. |, is a piece of
useless extravaganza Three cents week, it
is true, is worth saving.
No person should ever think Of taking moro
than one paper at time; and a small, dirty,
badly printed one, costing only one dollar
year, will answer as well as any. If you have
an opportunity Of entering into an arrangement
by which you will be able to obtain it at less
than dollar, so much the better.
No one should take country paper, if he
can obtain one from abroad at a smaller or
even ot the same price. There is nothing like
being able TO say that you take city paper.
Always stop a paper the moment the editor
differs with you upon any point, and be care
full and not pay up in full. 1t is decidedly Sul-
gar to pay all arresrages when you discontinue
a paper-N Y. Bulletin.
LARGE HAIL. - Destructive hail-storms have
occurred in the parishes of Caddo and De Soto,
doing much injury, on some plantations, to the
growing crop. A gentleman of veraeity, says
The Nachitoches Chronicle OF the 18th inst,
informed US yesterday that he saw Maidstone
which weighed one pound and three qusrters,
and was twelve and half inches in cireumfer-
encc. Some one in NachitocheS must have
10 L..
