The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-12-13
LORD NAPIER AND HIS SUCCESSOR.

he recall Of Lord Napier, the British Minister II
avs:
But as there is a cause for every movement of this
ort, shall probably be expected to assign one,
hough not speaking by authority. The probable p
round, then, of this unexpected change is personal
nd private though much to be regretted. We ?
eeve that the sole is the delicate health of
lady Napier, who languishes under the trying eli Il
nate of Washington. z
We are confirmed in this belief by the simulta-
eous nomination of Lord Napiers successor in the
person of the Hon. Richard Brickerton Pencil Ly-
ms, who has been resident Minister at Florence L
ince June last. Mr. Lyons is the eldest son of Ad
nral Lord Lyons, and has been regularly trained in
he diplomatic service, having entered it in 1889, c
,eng then -, AH0che at Athens, where his {
ather, then Capt. Sir Edmund Lyons, represented l
he British crown He was long resident in Greece;
vas for a short time at Dresden; but has passed
several years lately at Florence, whence, it may be
that he was sent to Naples in March,
1856, to watch the proceedings against the British
engineers seized on board the Sandman steamer
Cagliar Ills conduct on that occasion was highly
commended.
Now as the missions respectively to Washington
and Florence nearly par, the former taking
precedence, it would by no means surprise to
find that an exchange had been effected between the
occupants of these two posts. For Mr.. |
lyons the would be a step in advance: whilst
Tuscany is so choice spot among diplomatists, ir
of its relative rank that the Marquis of
Normandy long held office there after having been
both Lord-Lieutenant Of Ireland and British Am
bassadOr in Paris
From TExAs.-rhe Galveston NeUs Of the 30th
ult. contains the following items:
The steamship Atlantic, which comes in the
place of the disabled Texas, arrived this morning.
On the Gulf she encountered a severe gale, and it
was deemed necessary to throw overheard a large
and valuable deck load, estimated by Of the
passengers at the value of SlG0,00O.
We have heard good deal said and seen many
in print about disease called black
tongue, in Texas. We have heard of much alarm
in many parts ofthe country, and have seen no
small manifestation of it in this city Of late. In
some places the people are said to have refused
not only to eat beef but milk and butter aso for
fear of the disease. But after all, we do not re
member to have heard Of the first case of sickness
from this cause.
The Gonzales Iuquirer, of the 9th ult. says:
Sup to this time grasshoppers of any conse
quence have stopped in this country. Our farmers
are in high spirits in the anticipation of heavy
crops next year
We learn from the Austin State Gazette of the |
9th ult., that Capt. Fords Rangers had started |
for the frontier They are all good riders and ex-
pert marksmcn.
Major Neighbors arrived at San Antonio on the !
22d from the Reserve. He SAYS that the Reserve |
Indians are doing remarkably well this fall. Their
crops are very good indeed and the Indians are
cnntentcd and prosperous. The party with MAJOR
Van Doran's command had not returned when he
left the Reserve. The commissioners appointed by
the Government to examine into the state of affairs
the Reserve expressed themselves highly pleased
with the appear ance of things there. They found
two schools in operation and the scholars doing
well.
INDIAN AFFArRs.-Dr Forncy, the Superintcnd-
ent of Indian Affairs for Utah, who visited the
Humboldt river Indians, on account of the report
of their having robbed the United States mail and
made other hostile demonstrations has returned to
the Sunerintcndency in Salt Lake Cty He re-
norts thr Indians on the route numerous but quiet
and apparently inoiIensive, while they exhibit ex-
treme desttution and degradation. Agent llurtt,
who is also in Utah. states that the recent difficult
ties with the Utahs residing on the Spanish Fork
and Sanoete reservations will most likely be AMIGA
blv adjusted in short time: they having manifested
disposition to come to terms.
The IoHey Tan states that Maj Brooke having
arrived in Salt Lake City on the 4th of November
from the Cache and Malade valies, reported that
deputaion of Utah had been in the latter locality,
to obtain the co operation of the snakes in forag
ino expedition AGAINST the whites: and their pro-
position being rejected it was ruinored that they
had gone to the Navaoes to enlist their assistance
Dissatisfaction had also occurred at Fort Hall and
the Indians had left the vicinity of the Fort and
retired to Beaver head distance of about
| hundred miles.

the Comonfort movement, but one which will meet
! with equal opposition.
The same letter stated that in case this new
movement could be initiated, the clergy of Pueb!a
would lend to its support the respectable sum of
S2O000O.
We translate the following extracts from a letter
dated at Monterey, with date of the 18th inst:
Gen. Marquez, who had made his entrance into
Zacatecas on the 22d ut., forced to leave that
place precepitately, with all his forces; in the drec-
ton of Aguascalientes, which is the road towards
Mexico or Guadalaiara. This city, you well
know. is in possession of Gen. Degollado. 1t is
said that the city of Mexico was again attacked on
the 9th by Gen. Banco and other forces; and 1t Is
for this reason that Gen. Miramon has not been
able to march upon San Luis which is garrlsOned
at present by only 500 men,
In Matehuala fifty men pronounced for the
constitution of 1857, and have gone towards Ca
leana.
During the ensuing week, oOO rlliemen, under
the command of a good chief (Quirogal, will leave
for San Luis, and thus in short tlme the number
of men will ascend to 5000. The reaction lords
1t onl over the lana IL treaaS upon. Aacateca'
