Gen. Vol came as passenger.
Vdaurri is Mt Monterey. He charges oil

and declares that now no army except the
Revolutionary one shall exist. General Par

The plan of Monterey had been acquiesced

party, consisting of one hundred and
forty Government troops, were attacked fy
the Federals, near Reyno>a, and routed, with
a loss of thirty killed, thirty wounded. and
forty taken prisoners. General Castro, with
eighteen hundred troops, was at Matamoras,
and would probably pronounce in favor of
the Federals.
A dispatch wasreceivod at Vera Cruz from
the CITY of Mexico, which stated that Care

the Republic into the hands of General AL

General Lamarez had been arrested for re-

The garrison at Zacatecas had pronounced

Another "1aby."

They have got a new ssbaby elephant' up
town, the product of one of the elephants.
we believe, belonging to Barnum's travelling
menagerie. Being too unwell to 90 upon her
usual summer tour, it was left at home we
believe, to recuperate for season. The re-
suit is this addition to the elephantine do
nestle circle. a
These baby-elephants are very interesting
objects. They are perfectly formed through
out, and differ from their parents only in
size-but that difference is so arhiizlng that it
becomes ludicrous; and when you see the
baby walking to and fro under its mother,
you cannot resist the impulse to laugh at the
oddly of the comparison. And then the bull
XIV mothers care of her baby is so human
like and nffectionate! Give the baby an APP
pie, for instance. The mother elephant first
takes it in her trunk, examines it closely, and
then returus it to her infant to eat, having
apparently satisfied herself of its innocuous-
ness. And so with everything else. The
watchful carr, the jealous foudness, the as
siduous and untiring attention of the parent
monster, is eminently worthy of initial on by
many being who makes profession of a
much greater share Of intellgence.-N. Y.

A Douplas Salute +;

In the winter of lS49 Senator Douglas
came to this city, and his arrival was an
nounced by salute from cannon. His OBJ
ject then was to sustain the Compromise. In
his speech on the occasion, he declared that
the Missouri Compromise was akin to the
Cnnstitution-and that all the evidences Of
public opinion seemed to indicate that "this
Compromise had become canonized in the
hearts of ,he American People as a sacred
thing, which no ruthless hand should ever be
reckless enough to disturb"
While our paper is going to press there
in another Douglas salute progressing. 1t
is announced that Senator Douglas has re-
turned here to sanctify, in speech, the ruth
less hand that has destroyed that comprom
ise''-so sacred in his eyes in lS49 as to be
declared akin to the Constitution J.
Surly he must have great confidence in his
own powers, or great contempt for consisten-
cy and the understanding of the American
people.-Springfeld journal.

The WELcH.-Dr. Alexander Jones states
that there are fifty thousand Welch in the
United States, and not an Office holder
among them! Happy race. OF the descen-
dants of the WEIGH he says:
Seventeen Of the signers Of the Declara-
ton of Independence were of Welch origin,
among whom Thomas Jefferson was one
Other eminent Americans were of WEIGH de-
scent, among whom were John and Samuel
Adams, Jonathan Edwards Yale, and found
er of Yale College, General Harrison, Rich
ard Henry Lee, and John Marshall. No less
than six of our Presidents have had WEIGH
blood in tehir veins; Jefferson, Monroe, Mad
ison, Harrison and the two Adamses. Four
teen of the revolutionary generals were Of
French origin, of whom General Wayne was
one. Martha Washington was the grand
daughter Of WEIGH clergyman.
