that those who fail to read the advertise

more than they imagine. Advertisements
are printed TO be read just as much as
any other item of news, and it is just as
essential 10 read them. There is not an
advertisement printed that is not of I'M

more clearly of a mans prosperity in bus

TERRIBLE MASSACRE Slaughter o.
Men, Uomen and Children.-By the
brig Mountain Eagle, Capt, MiIIIken, from
Srsai, Campeachy, we have dates 10 the
10Th September.
The Campeachy armed brig Union was
still sailing back anG forth in the port OF
Sisa. There had been no exchange OF
shots between the fort and her for some
days. The forces Of the belIigerents were
at short distance from CamPeachy, cut
doing nothing. The schooner that had
been armed by Campeachy had laid down
her arms and sailed for New Orleans on
her regular business.
The Indians in The Interior taking adj
vantage of the disturbances, entered VII
Iage, some sixty miles from Merida with
friendly manifestations, and having gained
admission to the houses, commenced 10
slaughter the men, women and children,
indiscriminateIv, and very few escaped.
More than five hundred bodies had been
found, and more were being discovered
daily in the woods, where they had at
empted to escape, overlaken and muir
dered, many of them mulIatcd in the
most shocking manner. This occurred
ABOUT the middle of September.
