We have heretofore announced that his Serene
-Highness. Gen. Santa Anna he'd left the Capital
and taken command in person of the Government
troops operating in Michoacan and Guerrero
asainstthe Revolutionists. Weare not informed
of the strength of his army. The Alvarez party
had an army Of 1900 men and eight pieces of ar
tillery. underthe command of Gen Commonfort,
one of The earliest friends of Alvarez and prom
inent and influential leader of the Acapulco insur-
rection. The two opposing armies were in pres
ence OF each other at last accounts, about fifty
miles from Acapulco, and a battle was daily ex-
pected The important State OF Sa0 Luis Potosi
is reported TO have pronounced in favor of the
Revolutionisis. If so. there are now three eutire
States, Guerrero, Mlchoacan and San Luis l'otos,
IN open rebellion against Santa Ana, besides a
number Of towns III other States. Col. Wheat,
well known in his city. had reached Acapulco,
and been appointed Brigadier General of the Ar
tilery i'll The Restoring Army He was to pro-
ceed Immediately to Commontort's camp, TO take
command Of his division, in time for the battle
that was about to take place with Santa Ana's
troops. Upon the issue of that contest will de-
pend The fortune of Santa Ana. If victorious he
would probably crush the Revolution: if beaten,
the gates of Mexico would be shut upon him--a
general rising would take place. and he would
lie forced, for the third and last tme to fly an
exile from Ais coaatry.-!S. T. Herald.

SPoSGrSG IT.-The last dodge. says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, we have heard in evading the
State Liquor Law. occurred yesterday at one OF
our old fashionable drinking saloons. An indi-
vidual walked up to the counter and demanded
"A dime bottle of brandy. Now. the rule is to
charge fifteen cents. unless, an empty bottle is
furnished in return for the bottle received; and
as the consumer laid only dime ON the counter,
the extra five cents was demanded.
81 don't want the bottle,' said he, draw
the cork sl 4
The liquor can't be drank on the premises, =
replied the barkeeper.
81 amt going TO drink it on the premises. re-
joined the other, and the barkeeper, supposne
that he had some vessel to pour it into. drew the
cork. when the gentleman quietly pulled out a
sponge from his pocket, and pouring the liquor
into it; them taking his seat, commenced leis
urely sucking it. pe
:" You se..'' said he, nodding complacen,ly t,
the aston shed barkeeper, Il amt going contrary
to this rule, for the law says the stuff shant bs
drank on the premises"
The bystanderscame to the CONCLUSION that tn,
stranger would make an appropriate Governor
OF Illinois, being decidedly the greatest sucke
of them all.

F These once celebrated and beautf
lines, as happily conceived as any in the la
guage, were addressed by gentlemen of II
house of York, on presenting its emblem, a viii
rose to lady of the house of Lancaster, who
emblem was red:
"If this fayre rose offend thy sight,
j. Placed in thy bosom bare,
Twill blush to find itself less white,
And turn Lancastryne there.
But should thy ruby lip it spye,
As kiss it thou may st deign,
With envy pale twill lose its dye,
And Yorkish turn again.

10 the Editor Of The American Organ:
SrR: Agreeably to resolution Of Bxar Council
the subjoined paper Is transmitted you for pubca.
ton. word or two In conneIion with the sub.
iect. The object contemplated must commend IT,
self 10 every true American. The only controversy
that possibly exist Is with regard to tb tmeans
best adapted 10 the sccurement Of the end. We
understand that the plan of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers Of the Monument to the
various councils has been rcsortedt to- That course,
we are convinced, win fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which win DO the natural
and unhing results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes TO commence with the high.
est body known TO the order, and to 20 forth with
ts authority. Ifthe plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States viii act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
viii exert q similar influence upon the subordinate
councils, The system will be thorough, and con.
sequenty the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor Is this mere theory, INFESTED and
untried We call attention to the following paper,
the original Of which is in the hands of the Trea-
surer Of Eutaw Council
Received, Washington, May 20, 1855, Of the
Treasurer of .Eutaw Council, Georgetown, d. c.,
one hundred and ftty dollars, in aid OF the Wash
ington National Monument Society, in part Of
contribution of sir hundred dollars voted by said
EutaE Council JSo. NJ. McCALLA,
Treas. Washington National Monument"
Here, then, Is specimen of the working of the
plan we recommend--an earnest Of what it is able
TO accomplish kind Of first fruits Of the album
dant harvest which may be gathered from all sec
tons of our native land. And thus the Monument
win no longer be dependent upon the uncertain
and insufficient supplies which have heretofore been
raised by the operation Of imperfect plans. But
that appropriate memorial Of the nations gratitude
will uprise in beauty and grandeur until it's stain
less marble and it's towering altitude shall tly rep
resent alike the purity of the life and the splendor
OF the fame Of Washington. GEoRGErowE.

is entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences Of
its virtues In any community where it has been en-
ployed So wide is the field Of it's usefulness, and SO
