Mon auELLED BY PRAYER.-A correspondent OF
the Pittsburgh Gazette relates the following cir
cumstances, as received from the late sheriff Of
that county, Mr.. Forsyth;
'Some time in the course Of the past year, he,
Mr.. Forsyth, was called upon 10 exercise his au-
thority for the suppression of large dsorderly
meeting somewhere in the suburbs Of the city.
At the time Of his arrival the ground there was
every manifestation Of an immediate and violent
outbreak; and while he was celebrating about his
duty in the premises, he was approached by the
Rev, Mr.. Kirkland, who acted 40 conspicuous a
part in the late trials in our court with request
that he would let him try the efficacy of prayer on
the excited passions Of the throng.
"The sheriff replied that he doubted much the
success Of such an expedient, but that he will
ing TO make the experiment. Mr.. Kirkland immc-
diatcly assumed station, little elevated above
the multitude and poured forth, apparently from
the funess Of Christian spirit, prayer most APP
propriatc 10 the occasion. Immediately after be
commenced, those around him became calm, some
of them very reycrcntly took of their hats, and
whcn at the conclusion, he raised bis hands and in
the most solemn manner pronounced the benedic-
ton with which congregations arc usually dis
missed, the mob dispersed quietly a congre-
CATION retiring from church, leaving the sheriff
no further necessity for the exercise of his au-
thority"

BALTIMORE. Noyomhor Oh n II


A case rather rich, little rare and somewhat
spicy, has been progressing in county court for
some days past 1t was concluded yesterday, but
the court has not yet rendered It's decision II stands
thus: estate Of Maryland us. Mrs. Julia Levin"
wife Of Mr.. L. c. Levin, VI. c. Itappears, on the
l4th of October last. Mrs. Julia Levin caused a
person named McMakin, in her employ TO seize
and hold the horse Of Mr.. Harry Fitc, jr., on the
Reisterstown road, while she inflicted on him seve-
raj blows with a whip. The assault was admitted,
and evidence was introduced to show cause and in
mitigation. From the whole, It appears that there
existed approximations on the part Of Mrs. l.. that
MIR. r. desired the acquaintance, with an Interior
view to marriage of daughter of Mrs Levin, and
to this there objection by the young lady's
friends, who gave him to understand that his at
tentions were not agreeable.
The young lady also stated her repugnancc TO
him. On the day Of the assault, Mr.. Fite was
riding along the road, and as he passed the car
riagc Of Mrs. l.. he looked in once, perhaps twice
or three times. This act construed into an in
cult, piece Of impertinence-and the circum-
stances connected with the assault then took place
| The evidence went TO show that Mr.. F.'s deport-
ment was at all times most respectful towards the
young lady and her friends in the several inter.
views he had with them, which we're generally
brief and nothing passed but the ordinary courte-
sizes of polite life. The given TO the court
without argument,
There can be no doubt whatever that any young
gentleman should be similarly treated for imperti-
ncncc towards Mdy. The question, however,
who should inhict the chastisement when il should
be done, and how, must be decided by public opin-
ion II seems, too, rather ungaant for gentle
man to prosecute lady for assaulting him with 80
ticklish weapon The court, according TO law,
is bound to bring in a verdict of guilty Of assault

The increase Of manufacturing in the South is
exciting great congratuaton among the people
and the press of that section of the Union. We arc
right glad to sec enterprise essential and OK
pedient succeeding well. Our only wonder in
past times has been that the South should trust alto.
gether TO other markets than her own for manu-
great and unquostioned. There is no reason why
cotton and wool should not be worked into fabrics
on southern soil, where they are grown, rather
than sent thousands Of miles, and brought back in
cloths, at loss ofdoube transit Besides, there is
much material which the South can manufacture
with profit which cannot find market elsewhere.
TIE refuse Of her cotton sufficient TO make all her
negro cloths, is of this kind. There is capital
enough in the South, and nothing is wanting TO put
it in manufacturing motion but enterprise.

From Mexico.

We received yesterday files of the Monitor Re
p,tblicdnO and Trait d. Union, of the city of Mexico,
to the Goth utimo, the Vera Cruz Loconotor to the
22d, and the Jaapa Zenpoaiteca to the ODD, all in
elusive.
lieutenant colonel of cavalry, named Don Faus-
tin Villalva raised the standard of revolt at Cocula
near lgnala, procaiming Santa Anna general in :
chief OF the regenerating army of Mexico. He had
but fifty soldiers with him. He was attacked by
General Palacios, his party dispersed and he made
prisoner. Villalva was 10 be executed forthwith.
Quiroz, the principal leader in the late insurrec-
ton in the Sierra Gorda, after having been shot,
was conveyed to Xichu, where his corpse was pub
licly exposed
The Monitor says that rumor is current that
spectators in the funds of the republic have cor
rupted some of the members of the Chamber OF
Deputies. This Is apparent from the apathy dis
played by that body, when the report Of the Com
that occ asivn twenty members were absent,
and there being no quorum the report was not
brought forward
The question for and gainst the re-establishment
of the Jcsuits, which has caused an open war be-
tween the governor and Legislature of QueretarQ
has been referred by the former, Senior Mesa, to
the supreme government. The journals at the
metropolis are divided in opinion, relative TO the
advantages and disadvantages anticipated TO flow
from those world renowned intriguing priests. The
Monitor is for the Unir9Sdi against the reverend
fathers.
NJ. Dubucq, celebrated French economist, who
distinguished himself in the colonization Of Alge-
ria, has arrived in Mexico. He is about founding
college at San Christobal, in Chiapas
The Apaches are again numbering and pillaging
in the State of Durango. The American guerilla
party of thirty attacked them on the LIST ult.,
killed four, and recovered the plumber they were
carrying off.
Robberies arc as frequent ever in all parts OF
Mexico; at the capital they had become unusually
daring. The Governor of the district, Gen. Anaya
lately gave in his resignation, on the plea Of i'll
health, although the Trait d. Union says the daily
rcproachcs made against the authorities by the
press, account of the inefficient protection 10 life
and property, had no doubt contributed TO his re-
trcment.
An Indian chief (Apache) lately killed by the
American guerilla party commanded by Capt. Box,
bore on his person a medal, which had on one side
bust with this inscription: "Martin Van Buren,,
President of the United States, A. ID. 1896" and on
the reverse: peace and Friendship. ~ o. Pie,
