ner, with his Dragons, charged heavy column OF the
enemys lancers. in doing they had to pass under
a heavy fire from the enemys works. The following
incident connected with this charge is told by the
correspondent of the Delta:
While the cavalry were passing IN front of the
enemy, in order to charge the column of lancers,
they under the fire more than ten seconds,
and during that time they sustained loss of officers
wounded. 81 privates killed and wounded. and loss
of l0o horses. There were but two officers that did
not have their horses shot under them-but there Is
one thing very remarkable. that the horses from

with the same regularity as though they had been
mounted, until they 10 halt from the charge,

CAPTAIN WALKER.-Extract from the letter of an
officer in the Delta:

born To command. / at his side in the battle of
La Hoya, when, with his company (C) of the rifles,
he charged and defeated 1900 Mexlcans. Would

ATTEMPTED BANK RoBBERY.-A most daring and
perseverng, but unsuccessful effort was made to rob
the 9Th Ward City Bank, New York City, on Satur-
day night, the 18th inst.
The Sun says that the plan adopted By them was as
follows-They first entered alley in the rear of the
bank in Burling Slip and succeeded in breaking open
the side window of the store next To the bank, 'front.'
ing on Pearl street. They next commenced breaking
after apparently much labor they succeeded in remo-
wing a space of wall about seven feet square, when
they came to a cast iron plate, foil quarter of
inch in thickness they then cut hole through this
plate of about eighteen inches in diameter, and then
commenced to break through the wall of the bank ;
which is two feet thick, and laid in Roman cement
which it is thought would resist any attempt that bur-
glars might make upon it but it seems that the ras-
Gals succeeded in making their way through the WALL
tearing down a space about nine feet square; but they
then met by another impediment which it seems
they were prepared to meet and overcome. This i'm
pediment was the iron vault containing the money,
and which made Of boiler iron about of an inch
thick. To break into the vault, they first drilled
hole about Of inch in diameter, into which they
fastened bolt, and then placed on this bolt solid
block OF oak board, about Ia inches thick to which
they attached Bit and then by turning this block
around IN the same manner fly wheel, the bit
worked on the iron vault making circle Of Is inch
in diameter and in this they succeeded in cutting
through the vault removing circular piece 1e inch
es in diameter. They were then met by two small
iron chests, which they could have removed with but
little exeron, had they not been compelled to leave
they having become frightened just the golden prize
was within their reach.

there had been no free trade but the old corn laws

Mr.. Clay is undoubtedly the field as candidate
for the next Presidency. He gave his friends, year
ago, TO understand that he sin the hands of the
people" He is undoubtedly the favored candidate of
most of the wings who advocate national con-
vention.
The Webster and Scott and Harrison wings of 1910
do consider that their particular interests, or
candidates for office, will be advanced by Mr.. Clay,
should he becume the President. There not less
than three conspicuous Wing politicians in our city,
who have reason To know this for they know some-
