informed you the other day that had sto-
ry to tell of Santa Anna and his travelling car
riage. In his great haste to leave it he went
off without taking any of his effects-a small
writing case only was found broken open, for
he had no time to unlock it, from which he had
evidently taken few papers of great import
ance; but the majority of his effects-his sill
yer plate, his papers, his money-all were there
in good condition. Two of our officers entered
the coach, and what did they find, after rumma-
ging about, but most excellent dinner, togeth-
er with delicious wine and some highly favor
ed cigars. To say that they didn not sit them-
selves comfortably down on his richly cush-
ioned seats, partake of his sumptuous dinner,
wash it down with his delicious wine, and fin
ish it off with his highly favored cigars, would
be departing farther from the truth than | care
about doing just now. The names of the Off
GERS were Capts. Williams and McKinstry, and
the dinner wasa perfect windfall after hard

have borrowed the copies of the FL Repub-
hcano for an hour. They are dated at the city
of Mexico, April 2l and %, and the latter gives
full account of the battle of Cerro Gordo.
The Mexican particulars of the combat, as
usual, are peculiarly rich.
They say Santa Anna sustained the fight with
5000 men against $4,000, and fought valiantly
to the very last, When finally, he found HIM
self entirely surrounded by enemies, ne FORCED
A PASSAGE through ''los Yankees with a col
umn of the 4th Regiment of Infantry of the
line! The fact, as every one knows, is that
Santa Anna left early-all the cutting which
he did was to cut the saddle mule from his
coach, and then cut and run.
The Mexicans admit that they had two gem
erals killed, but gave no name save that of Vas
quez. Coils. Cosio and Calatayud are also nam
ed as among the killed. Gen. Scott's loss, on
the II and 18th, is put down at over 1000,
while the loss of the Mexicans is admitted TO
be 1000 men in killed and wounded. They
say that the Americans fought like hordes OF
savages, killing all that presented themselves,
whether wagoners, old men or women.
Gen. Canalizo is openly accused of bad con-
duct at CerrO Gordo. They say that when he
should have made charge, which would have
been decisive, he withdrew with his cavalry
in plain terms that he ran.
Gen. Salas, who was President ad interim
before the the arrival of Santa Anna has isued
a proclamation announcing that he is empow-
cred to raise guerilla corps, and calls upon all
good Mexicans to Join his standard, In his
concluding sentence he says that ''war to death
without pity, shall be the device of the gueril-
la warfare of vengeance"

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE rIcAYuNE.
JALApA, Mexico, April %, 1917.

JALAPA, Mexico, April ~, 1917.
The city is full of rumors again to-day, all
of which will try and throw into some kind
of shape, although | cannot be answerable for
one of them.
In the first place, it is said that Gen. Taylor
has arrived before San Luis Potosi. They do
not assert that he has taken the city, but sim
ply that he has arrived in the neighborhood close
by. Again, it is confidently asserted that the
Mexicans intend leaving the road entirely open
from this to Pueba, but at that city they intend
making stand and entombing themselves be-
meath Its ruins before Gen Scott shall enter it.
They talk so much about burying themselves
beneath their ruined dwellings, and do so little
in that way, that one can place no confidence
in them. Another rumor is that in a day or
two we shall hear Of revolution in the city
of Mexico against Santa Anna. This looks
reasonable. 1t is now near three weeks since
they have had a pronUncidmento in Mexico,
and it is high time they should up a fresh
outbreak. Has any one ever attempted to count
the cost OF one of these Mexican revolutions?
We are not so far advanced in civilization, and
consequently, having been relieved of the lux
ury of overturning government every three or
six months, know not what the expense is.

This new Territory is bounded on tbs
North by Canada West; on the East BY
Michigan and Wisconsin on the South By
the parallel Of 43 deg. 80 min, which is the
most Northern line OF Iowa; and on the
West by the river Sioux and Red River OF
the North. The line Of separating Minnesota
from Michigan is in Lake Superior, and that
separating it from Wisconsin. passes along

Ma. CLAr ON THE TARIrF.-in letter to
J. A. Bragaw Esq. Of Hartford, acknowledg
ing the gift Of pocket-knife sent by the lat
ter. Mr.. Clay says:
4 have been very DESTROYS to learn the
effect upon American manufactures prod uced
by ihe-iast Tariff. But Europe has been
so occupied.with supplying herself with nee
essary food. and our county has been so
benefited by the high price which all articles
of subsistence have attained, that the COM
petition between Foreign and Domestic
manufactures has been much less unequal
than it otherwise would have been. The
struggle so far has been between well-fed and
lifted operatives between capital diverted
from the purchase of the raw material to the
purchase of bread. and capital greatly aug
mented by the sale Of food; and between
working short time and full
time. Whether, when. Europe is no longer
starving and shall be again blessed By Provi-
dence (as hope it will be) with abundant
harvests, we shall be able TO sustain sue
cessful competition, remains TO be seen,
fervently hope that our manufactures have
struck such deep and strong root that they
will be able to stand up and flourish against
all adverse causes

THE GUERILLA.

The terrible struggles in the beginning o
III. present century in the peninsula Of SPAR
developed new system ofwarfare, known al
Guerilla or little war Multltudes Of peas
ants, Influenced with patriotic and religious
zeal, retreaied 10 the mountains, formed
themselves into small bands, made choice o
leaders, and carried on fierce war with
rhslr French invaders, whom they attacked
by piece-meal.
The following Lyric at the time WIS writ
ten by the American Brainard. will bear
republication at this time when We hear &C
much of Guerilla system of Mexico.
Though friends be false and leaders fall,
And rulers quake with fear;
Though tanned the shepherd in the vale,
And slain the mountaineer;
Though Spanish beauty fills their arms,
And Spanish gol d their purse,
Sterner than wealths or wars alarms
Is the wild Geurilla's curse!
No trumpets range US to the tight;
No signal sound of drum
Tells to the foe that in their might
The hostile squadrons come,
No sunbeam glitters on our spears,
No warlike tramp of steeds
Gives Warrington the first that hears
Shall be the first that beeds.
The night wind calls us from our bed,
At dew-fall forms our line,
And darkness gives the signal dread,
That makes our ranks combine;
Or should some struggling moonbeam lie
On corpse or lurking hedge, -.
'Twould fash but from Spaniard's eye,
Orfroma dagger's edge.
lis clear in the sweet vale below,
Aud misty on the hill;
The skies shine mildly on the foe,
But lower upon still
This gathering storm will quickly burst
And spread its terrors far;
And al its front we'll be the first,
And with it 90 TO war!
