VIDAURI's REVOLUTION SUCCESSFUL.
We have been favored, by friend in
commercial house, says the New Or
leans Irue Delta, with the perusal of a
letter written at Guerrero, in the State
of Tamaulipas, Mexico, on the 10th in
slant. which states that Vidauri and
Garza's troops had a pitched battle near
Monterey, in which the latter lost every
thing; Cara barely saving his own per-
son by escaping through, the Huahouca
road. This information is from most
respectable merchant, and he vouches
for its perfect reliability. Vidauri's sue
cess will have a great effect upon Com

that if defeated, Vidauri would have at

THEATRE-The attractions at the
Nevada Theatre still continue to draw
good houses. The nights throughout
the week have been rainy, dark and
cold, and streets exceedingly muddy,
but notwithstanding all this, Warwick
has managed to get up something new
and enticing each succeeding night,
and himself and his company are uni
vcrsally greeted with demonstrations of
satisfaction and delight.
Tuesday evening last, Miss Louise
made her first appearance in a fancy
dance, and was received with immense
applause. and the little "Fairy STAR
was obliged to repeat the performance
to satisfy the delighted audience. Miss
Louise is pretty little girl, very grace
full in her manners, and has few equals
as danseuse; she also sings well, and
has already become quite favorite here.
Tonight, that most beautiful of all
plays, "Ingomar,' is to be performed.
To those who have seen this play, it is
needless for us to speak. for they will
all go again; but to those who have
never seen it, we would say, if they
want to be delighted, charmed, go to-
night and see "Ingomar."

WILLIAM III. CRAwFoRD.-The name of this
gentleman, who was formidable candidate for
the Presidency IN 1924: is very familiar to the
old politicians of that day. He was the regular
nominee of the Congressional caucus of the old
Democratic party, and although he was beaten.
he continued to be held in high estimation by the
country. We have not Mr. CoIton;s late
edition of the private correspondence of Mr..
Clay, yet we find in the Philadeiphia North Am
erican a long article upon it, from which we
copy the following passage:
One revelation OF these volumes is very pain
ful and discredltable, not to Mr. Clay but to
another public man, whose fame sanctifed or
protected somewhat by misfortune and physical
suffering, has hitherto been free from rcproach
In 1924 and 1928, Mr.. Crawford, enfeebIed by
paralytic disease, was virtually drawn from the
contests, and almost from the sight and tboughts
of the busy world around; and SO he continued
to the public, simply -eldTum ct Uensrable no11ea'1
but it now seems that in 1880, while General
Jackson was President and Mr. CLAY about to be
candidate against him, Mr. Crawford wrote a
private letter to the latter, suggesting his own
name the most available, and promising Mr..
Clay place in the Cabinet in case the game
succeeded, adding in postscript that a similar
suggestion had been made to Mr.. Van Buren.
OF this most discreditable suggestion tunaccouut
able indeed, except on the supposition of impair
ed intellect) Mr. Clay simply said " have
never written to him since received that letter.
nor do desire any correspondence with him
again." And then be adds, probably feeling
some pity for Mr.. Crawford's enfeebled condition
OF body or mind. the latter affording some excuse
for the folly shall not, however, permit the
publication of his letter. 1t could only be iusti-
fed by some public good. and | see none that it
would accomplish Mr.. Cay's family or pos
thumous editor thinks differently, and in spite of
his forbearance published the letter. and down
goes another eputation.-Erchange

Niagara Falls az Winter.-The Buffa-

correspondent at Niagara Falls. describing
the present beauties of the Falls. The fol-
lowing is an extract:
The spray drifting over the adjacent shores
has transformed the commonest objects into
shapes of such fairy ike beauty as is else
where oaly conceived in dreams. All
things are enveloped in cleaning ice. The
islands are laid with pavement as pure
and as solid as the most stainless Parian.-
The rocks that shoot up from the far depths
Of the precipice are hooded and wrapped In
vas. breadths of ice. like monks doing
homage to the genius of peace. The trees
are bowed down TO the earth with their
snowy vestments. Ike worshipping choir
Of whi,e-robed nuns. Everywhere but in
the immediate channel of the swollen and
surging river. the Ice King reigns supreme
Under his magic touch nature is visi0ly

EXCEEDINGLY FREScH.-A short time ago a
respectable looking young man applied to mid
die aged citizen of Paris. tor situation as foot
man in the domestic establishment OF the latter.
As the young man brought excellent testimony
as to his probity and capacity, Mr.. Il. who
was in want of such servant took him in to his
employ Things went on very comfortably. until
the other day, the new servant was found to have
hung himself in his room, and to be quite dead:
Instead of using an easier means for the accom-
plishment OF his purpose. the suicide had hung
himself with a cambric handkerchief. which cir
cum.tarce was explained by note found in his
pocket and which read somewhat to the follow
ing purport:
aMr. X-,my real name is. and am, as
you NAV readily ascertain of family equal to your
own. have long loved your wife, and 1t was to
be near her that entered your sevice in menisl
capacity. Finding her to be as pure as she is
beautiful, and fearing that my unhappy passion
might lead me- to commit some act wanting III
the high respect owe her, have determined tc
destroy myself, and, for the purpose, have -aken
one of her handkerchiefs. Pray have my femai1s

The COMMITTEES appointed by the Texas

the following report:
COMMITTEES Roox. jan %. 1856.

the vote of the Hon. T. j. Rusk. and disan'
proving that of the Hon. Sam Houston in
the United States Senate. upon the Nebras.
ka and Kansas bill. have instructed me to
report the-xaid resolution back to the Senate.
and recommend its passage without amend
ment- Ihe course pursued by Gen. Rusk
on that occasion was patriotic, manly true
to the constitution. the rights of the State
he represented. and to the South, and unaf
fected BY any ambitious aims for the Presi-
dency which seems unfortunately of late, to
have induced some Southern statesmen to
sacrifice the interest of tie South to ram
pant abolition. and. trusting to the blind
confidence of their own constituents, to be-
tray them. For his noble course General
Ausk deserves the fullest and highest appro-
val of this State.
'On the other hand, the committee have
found no Justification for the course pursued
by Gen- Houston. either in the reasons Civ
en- by himself or his defenders. The Joint
resolution passed by the House of Repre-
sentative., in the expression of disapproval
of bis course. is very mild. 1t is a milder
rebuke. than probably was ever before ad-
minis;ered to public servant. under like
circumstances Because his name is inter-
woven with the glorious struggle of this
country for the achievement and mainten-
ance of its independence, we are induced to
present this moderation.

A Great Blessing to the Afflicted


DR.. M'Lane, the inventor of the celebrated
Liver Pills. used these pills for several years in
his practice, before he could be induced to offer
them TO the public in such manner as to make
them known throughout the country This learn
ed physician felt the same repugnance that all
high-ninded men of science feel in entering the
lists against those unscrupulous empires who OBJ
trude their useless rostruDs upon the public. and
rely upon system of putting to sustain them.
Convinced, however. of the real value OF the Liver
Pills, and influenced BY the plain dictates of duty
the Doctor finally sacrificed his delicate feelings
on the altar of public good. His great medicine
has not disappointed the expectations of the medi
cal practitioners. at whose instance he was in
duced TO forego his inclnations. From every
quarter do we hear the most gratifying accounts
OF its wonderful curative efects-the East and the
West. the North and the South. are alike laden
with 'tidings of great joy from the afflicted.
