low Springs was invaded by them, and
the store of a Mr.. Wells was taken pos
session OF, and robbed. On entering they
drew their reviewers, ordered the owner
to stand still, went to packing up his
goods, and plundered the house generally.
They carried away divers articles of dry
goods, clothing, boots, shoes, &c, amount

ell his pockets and filched from him about
forty dollars in money. They also rob-

MExICo.--The accounts are up to the
5th inst, from the city Of Mexico. They
indicate that the country is sinking deep
er and deeper in anarchy and wretched
ness, and that nothing can save all reg
ular public authority from ruin but the
intervention Of some foreign power. The
clergy, who have in possession nearly all
the money Of the country, find the gov
eminent which they have set up under
Zuolaga avery expensive puppet to
maintain; and they are cutting short the
supplies, and begin to dole out their funds
with hesitation. Yidaurri, the chief of
the rebellion in the Northeastern States,
has achieved further successes, and tho
current Of events is turning in his favor.
The city of Zacatecas, which had been
taken by the government troops, has
been re-captured by Vrduarri, who shot
the government General, and four Of his
principal officers as traitors to the coun-
try.
The city of Guadalajara and other
important places were about to yield to
the revolutionary troops, who arc fight
ing for the Federal System and the in
dependence Of the States, against the
tyranny Of the Central government -
Vera Cruz, still holds out against the
Central government, and gives no signs
Of yielding. The government troops in
the State of San Luis Potosi, are confined
to the city of San Luis, and are supposed
TO have been badly cut up and weakened
IN their last encounter with the reyolu
tionists. The disorders of the countr,
have driven all money out OF circulation
the people are boarding what they have
and confidence, both public and private
Is PROSTATE. If they were disposed, tn
clergy cannot, it is said, support the ex
listing nominal government three month
longer. A letter from Mexico to tn

attaching the above caption to the follow
ing paragraph:

We object 10 sending the Colonel to aclimate
where huge rabbits grow white hair and very
long ears, as some sort OF protection against
the cold of that region. But We headed this
paragraph only for the purpose OF asking
that the Colonel will not forget his mission.
He surely is not authorized TO send us such
weather as we had yesterday.
The Colonel has not entered upon his
duties in those Boreal regions-therefore
is not to be held responsible for what may
have as yet come from them. Wait til
