TIE Pinto War IN llsD,co ut.
tentivo Panama correspondent has, ola
Acapulo, interesting details of the In
dian war in Southern Mexico, princip.
ally in the State of Guerrero, on the
great highway to the capital of which
we have already had accounts:
On tho 10th u,t., Juan Vicario, the
celebrated bandit, entered the city of
lguala with sou men, aud sacked it for
the third time this year. He was resist
ed on his entrance, by about seventy
men, all the government troops i'll town,
but these were obliged to take refuge
in the church. Alter little parley they
capitulated, and were all rhassacred.-
Vicario was then joined by Juan An.
tonic, who is at the head of 1000 revo-
lutionistss against the authority of AL
varez, and all at last dates. were occu-
plying Aguala. Gen. Degollado was on
his march, with considerable force and
artillery, to lguala, and fight was ex-
pectod in few days, this is the first
time during his long and absolute rule,
that the Pintos have questioned the au-
thority Of Alvarez, and they are likely
TO give the government Of Comonfort
much trouble. You will recolect that
this outbreak was caused on account of
Alvarez having destituted priest for
having refused to swear 10 the new con.
stitution.
BY later accounts, direct from the
city OF Mexico, we learn that Vicario
had been defeated, and all his forces,
collected at Iguala and the vicinity dis
persed. The rebellion how ever con-
tinued rife as ever. and promised still
to give much trouble to the Govern
ment.--M o. Picoyunc.

DeStructi0e fire IN Baltimore--The
Baltimore Sun of Tuesday, 2lst. says :
"A fire broke out about half.past IL
o'clock last night, in the largo three
story building on CRANKY street, near
Albemarle owned and occupied by r.
II. Smith & Co., as a whiskey and alco-
hol dstilery, which was entirely de.
stroyed, together with all its contents.
The hands were at work in tho building
at the time. and The tank into which tho
alcohol is run from the still by some
means took fire. In a moment there
was an explosion, and The roof of tho
building was thrown some two or three
feet high, and fell with tremendous
crash.
Within a epace Of five minutes the
whole building was in flames, and tho
the ilremen were promptly on the spot
with a good supply of water, their eff.
forts were Of no avail, except to save
The surrounding property. The estab-
lishment has been in operation only TWO
or three weeks, and was erected at cost
OF upwards of $4,000.
On the first floor there were one hum
dred barrels Of alcohol, and their grain
and other stock to the value of about
$4,000. The building and machinery
was Insured for about $4,000, aud the
stock for about $4,000, all in Philadel-

RESURRECTION IN TIE EAST INDIES.
There seems to be good reason to
believe that the outbreak among the
native troops in India is moro serious
and extensive than the English Gov
crnmcnt represent it.
The native troops number 100000,
and there cannot be doubt that the
best feeling does not exist between
them and their European masters
Even it there was no concert at the be-
ginning, it is possible that, so soon as
the news Of the revolt reached the va
rlous environments, the spirit of insub.
ordination and instruction would dis
play itself. The number of European
troops is small, compared with the ma
tive soldicry, and, if the revolt should
become general, if will require great
effort and much time to put it down.
Indeed, India would have to be recon
qnorcd. The native soldiers in India
arc u dangerous element; magazine
as likely to blow up those who use it
os those against whom it is designed to

courage, and perseverance, must ulti-
matcly triumph, yet it may be at an

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF ELEcTRIcITy

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF ELEcTRICITY,
A singular occurrence took place. u
short time since, at the Locomotive
Works, illustrating the powerful effects
of electricity. A locomotive was be-
ing moved from the mandatory to tho
Central depot, and had arrived in the
middle Of the street, when suddenly
all hands dropped the bars with which
they were moving the machine, and
fell back in amazement. Resuming
them at the order Of the man in charge,
they applied them again to the wheels,
and again fell back paraIyzed the in
slant they touched the iron. The d.
rector caught none of the bars, and
making savage thrust, planted it I'M
der wheel, preparatory to giving it
huge lift No sooner had it touch
ed, however, than he saw it fall from
his grasp to the ground, as it had done
in every case before. Such singular
occurrences excited attention, and an
examination was made as to the cause,
when it was found that the locomotive,
in passing under the telegraph line,
had come in contact with broken wire
that hung sufficiently low to reach it,
the whole mass of iron composing the
locomotive had thus become charged
with electricity, which communicated
itself to the bars that the men held in
their hands, and caused the effect above
described. The wire was then remov.
cd, and the difficulty obviated in q mo-
ment.-Dctro5t Tree Press.

Judge John A. Corwin,s Speech.

Inc Commercial gives sketch of the speech
made by Judge C0rwin of Urblna, Yesterday.
before U. ). Commissioner Newhall on the Clark
County Rescue case, which it says "was an ef-
tort seldom excrlled if ever equalled in Ohio
courts Tor pcrtinency, aptness of illustration,
logical iorce and consistency, legal erudition,
bitter denunciatiOn whitening sarcasm, biting
mockery, and powerful eloquence. 1t was, in
lact, model legal argument, finished with all
the moving gracrs Of oratory which convinced
the understanding and delighted the imaginn-
tions ot court crowded with eager listeners"
The Commercial says:
He took up the testimony and reviewed it at
length, dwelling upon certain vital points invo-
wing the standing aud conduct of the Deputy
Marshas, and commenting upon their raid into
Champaign county, now with the most bitter
nockery, and by turns with savage invective
that made the walls of the court housl rising to
the echo. and the unfortunate Marshals writhe
under the terrible torture to which they were
| subjected. He depicted ten stalwart Marshals
some OF them famous throughout the State for
| their pugllistic prOwcss, and other accomplish
ments, all armed to the teeth, making their way
10 the unprotected dwelling of farmer upon
the scent OF poor niger flying from the gal
| ling chain OF sorvituJe described their miser-
ably abortivc effort to obtain possession OF his
body, and rallied at them with almost lerocious
vehemence. He spoke of the moral force of one
"uiiiuh oeiiiS once IN rervltude but having tast-
e. the sweets of liberty, and armed as the Mar
shas were, he said-in tones that fairly shook
the temple of Justice" Yes sirl Yes sir! He
could whip ten such Marshals as were then
hunting him to slavery !" .9. ,a.l
The effect of this sally was electrifying. There
was momentary pause and semi cessation of
pulsation in the hrarts'of men. The Marshas
all pale, ftirly quivered with excess of passion,
when suddenly Deputy Marshal John C.Elliot
burst forth, " You are a Ldr!" .l I..H

re5alning his composure instantly, and gather
ing irresistible force he turned upon his insulter
with bitter sneer, as if in utter contempt, and
with rpdouhed force reiterated: "SIRS HE

teeth =
The Court meantime looked on with the ut
most composnre, and never lifted voice in de-
tense of his dignity.
He pitched into the Cincinnati Eaquirer for
the conrse which it has pursued in this case,
which lie denounced as "lbelous to the people of
