, GLE BULL.-Ws learn from Mr.. Frau, the
agent ofthe great Maestro, that he has expert
enced some difficulty in procuring room oil
the proper dimensions for his concert, but that
he hopes to let the public know all about II TO-
morrow morning. There are many OF our
citizens who have not had the pleasure OF
hearing him heretofore. To all such we can
say, from experience, that pleasure awaits
them (which they can form no conception.
We learn that Ole Bull had determined to
give no more concerts, and that he has entered
upou his present musical tour for the sole ben
eff, of his colony. His whole heart is wrapped
I'D in that noble enterprise, and we are glad TO
hear that he is likely TO succeed TO the full
extent of his wishes. Old Norway is, and al
ways has been, the freest country in Europe,
and the colony is not now to learn the ways
of freemen for the first time. They have all
been born and lived freemen, and are therefore
the best calculated to make citizens. We re-
gard them as great accession.
For Ole Bull himself, he is a man of truly
noble character. Every person who has been
intimate with him loves him, he is so generouT,
so Just, aud so full of the milk of human kind
ness. The curiosity to hear him will be very
great and will no doubt be enhanced by his
high character, and the holiness of his object.
IMPORTANT FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
The Picayune has received the American
Flas, published at Brownsville, TO the 18th
ult. The revolution was progressing in Ia
maulipas with fearful rapidly. Cardenas, The
usurping Governor, has been taken prisoner
bv the insurgents. Canales was in hiding, it
was not exactly known where. Col. Basaye'
who was in command of the troops sent to
Matam oros by Avalos, bas surrendered uncon-
ditonally.
The Flag OF the 18th has the following fur
Their and important intelligence
The news from our neighbors of Mexico con-
tinues every day to increase in interest. We
have, through the courtesy of friend, been
shown letters and documents from the city OF
Victoria to the 14th inst. Governor Cardenss
has been captured in lula, together with some
nine members of the Legislature, his adherents.
| An EXTRA issued from the seat OF the new go
| yernment, announces this happy event. We
| have before us message from the provisional
| Governor to the people, in which he tells them
| their success has been most complete. The
entire State, with few exceptions, have sent
| in their acquiascence to the provisional 60
vernment, and the new planet plan Sdtrad0r
de Guadalajara. Rufno Rodriguez announ-
ces 10 the people the same happy result. He
saws that, after four days hard fighting. sue
cess has crowned the victorious banners of the
| inyincible pronunciados. CGrdenas had been
| taken prisoner in Tampico-he was captured
| By detachment of National Guards from the
latter place. Canales is still at large, and, re-
port saws, in Linares. A letter from Rodri-
guez to friend in this city, dated 18th inst,
states that the war steamer Estado de Mexico
| which recently left the Brazos, with munitions
of wer, cannon, etc., for Vera Cruz, had, to
gether with a national war schooner, also pro-
nonnced, and were now with the insurgents in
Tampco. If this be true, and our informant
assures rs it is, il gives a death blow to the
meritime force of the government 10 the Gulf
The overthrow of the present Government
seems inevitable. MatamoTas, however, seems
determined to hold out to the last. The COM
mandant of that important post has commenced
| 10 fortify and barrcade, preparatory for de-
| termined resistance. Our merchants have been
| supplying barrels, etc., for breastworks, and
today the sonorous tones of his big mouihed
| cannon, announced to US of Brownsville, that
all power in that city had passed from the CT
vii into the military arm of government. Mata-
| nIoras has been declared in state of siege,
though no enemy is in sight, and martial law
prevails in our sister city. The flags of the
| different nations ar now floating over their re-
| spective consulates the broad ensign ofMexi-
| CO this morning f1utters in the breeze as proud
| lv and as defiant ever-its rampant eagle
seems to grasp the serpent in its talons with
| even frmer grippe, as though determined to
crush, not only that, but every other one which
presents itself, hydraheaded as they at present
are.
We have before us three proclamations from
Gen. Avalos, to the troops under his command
and the people He entreats them to remain
true to the Government in its hour of peril,
and assures them that there are yet strong
| arms and stout hearts enough in the land TO
stem this great tide of INSTRUMENTATION, gi.
gantic as it is. We learn that the Matamoren-
ses think differently.
Carvajal was said to be in Guerrero, at the
head of large Mexican force, and Trevino,
one Of his officers, was guarding the Paso del
Zacate, also with considerable namber of
adherents.
The Flag says that no Americans are en-
gagged in this quarrel. 1t is family affair. and
the Mexicans are fighting il out amongst them
selves.
MIR. J. P. McDonough committed suicide in
Brownsville on the 10th December. No cause
could be assigned for the rash act.
THE WHEELING ExoURsIoN.-The formal
opening of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to
Wheeling, o. the 10th instant will be attend.
ed by very large number of persons. From
the Baltimore papers we learn that not less
than 500 gentlemen will leave that city alone
to unite in the ceremonies. Invitations have
been extended to Ohio and kentucky, and il
is expected that the Governors of several
States will meet on the occasion. Governors
Johnson, of Virginia, and Lowe, of Maryland.
it is stated, have signifed their intention to at,
tend the celebration.
THE STORM ON MONDAY NIGEr.-The Nor.
folk Herald brings accounts of damages bv
the storm on Monday night last, which, it saws,
has had no parallel since 1916. Among those
IN Norfolk who suffered losses by inundatIon.
we observe the names of Josiah Wills, Alex.
