MexIso-vidnarri.s syereat.


New Orleans papers received at Washing
ton contain the particulars of the defeat of
Vidaurri by Miramon. The former was not
on the field when the engagement commenced
and his army appears to have been attacked
when least apprehensive and prepared for it.
The rumor at Brownsville was. that the de-
feated party lost one hundred men killed and
that two thousand of them were taken priso-
ners, with the artillery and provisions. An
express from Monterey to Matamoras, how
ever, says, their loss was not so great, and
that only a portion of the artillery and am
munition were captured by Miramon's forces,
and the liberal party made their retreat from
the ield IN good order.
An official paper received at Monterey says
that Vidaurr had already sent orders to the
commander of Tampico for another park of
artillery, where there is plenty TO be had,
which will soon be in the field. together with
the many forces concentrated about Vidauri,
to renew the attack.
Col. Gaudaloupe Garcia was to leave Tam
pico for the interior, with three hundred in
tantry, and pieces of artillery.
Private advices received at Washington

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPBARANCR-We learn
from the Clinton C0iraRt that Sayille, son Of Mr..
James H. Smith, young man eighteen years
of age, and employed in the Clinton Mill, disap-
peared on Friday noon of the 18th. since which
time no traces of him whatever have been dscov-
cred. He was last seen in town, by any one re-
cognizing him, as he was passing by the Ortho-
dox meeting house. His friends cannot account
in any manner for his strange absence. for, al
though he has been in this country but four
months, he has uniformly expressed satisfaction
both with his new home and employment Some
fears are entertained lest he may have wandered
off in sudden alteration of mind, for he had lat
terly complained of headache. whilo he had been
all along too ambitious Of study and reading be-
sides, none of his previous movements indicated
any purp to run away" Saville is about five
feet six inches, with black eyes and black hair,
and when he left the table to so to the post Office
as was supposed, he had on his ordinary dress
dark pants, black lasting vest, cloth cap, and
striped silk handkerchief about his neck. In.
quiries have been made in New York, Boston,
Lowell, and other places, yet no clue to his
course has been obtained. Any information re-
specting him will he thankfully received by his
afflicted friends.

Mr.. Rditor-I perceive that the Boston Jour
nal has taken up its cudgel against the opponents
of the nomination Of Dexter f. Parker for the
State Senate, although it is less than week since
it administered a rebuke to the Bee for taking
sides upon question which it intimated was none
of the Bees business Perhaps your readers are
not aware that the interest manifested by the
Journal in Mr.. Parker's election springs from its
knowledge Of the man, as the plant tool of the
proprietor Of the Journal and his bunker allies in
the House OF Representatives, last Winter, in
the matter Of the election Of Sergeant-at- Arms.
Parker was especially conspicuous in his oppoSi-
ton to the election Of a Republican to the office
of Sergeant-at-Arms, and, although it was the
earnest wish and desire OF the administration and
the most influential members Of the House and
Senate, that an office of so much value should be
bestowed upon some worthy member Of the Re-
publican party, Parker succeeded in arranging
coalition between bunker Democrats Gardner.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS. During the past year,
as we learn from the Palladium. 262 persons
have been committed to the Jail in this county,
and 766 to the House Of Correction. But the ac-
tual number impriso ned is not quite SO large as
the aggregate of these two sums, the two institu-
tions being combined in one, and many of those
who are committed to Jail being transferred,
nominally to the House of Correction after trial.
OF these 1923 commitments, $50 had been addict
ed to intemperance.

PRESIDENT BUoRANAN's INSANE Policy.
A Washington correspondent of Forney'S Phla-
delphia Press says;
eft is seriously and terribly the fact, that the
administration is determined to adhere to its OBJ
noxious Kanzas test, Notwithstanding the signal
reverses that have befallen its policy in Ohio,
Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Il is stated that
Mr.. Buchanan is making arrangements to re-
proach the people for not obeying his bidding at
the polls, by giving burial in foreign offices to
those who were destroyed by the Lecompton
plague. But the Southern politicians getting
enough of this. They say, and say truly, that
the conduct of the administration must nevita.
bly, lasd to the humiliation of the Democratic
party Certain it is that no surer steps could
have been taken already.
The news from New York gives no consolation
to the despair Of the Lecomptonites 1t ia stated
that the result there in November will be com
Pete rout Of the administration forces"
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Times writes, Oct. %;
"New York and Illinois politicians of weight
have demonstrated with Mr.. Buchanan in person
against his prescription Of the Douglas Demo
Gratis since the elections. The President is Wis
IDLY shaken. The thirteen Illineis postmasters
dismissed on Monday last were insignihcants,
none of them receiving over four hundred dollars
per year. Their cases were determined before
the elections Forty postmasters in all have been
dismissed in Illinois. Wendell has always been
much opposed to the war on Douglas, and the
Union now holds its FIRE. The Southern pressure
against Secretary Coob is strong. He is held re-
sponsible for the divisions in Illinois and Indi
ana"
Col. Forney has the following observations OF
the course Of the President in adheriug to his OBJ
noxious Kanzas policy, in reputation of tht
emphatic pledges upon which the administration
came into power
"We scarcely know where to find parallel fol
conduct Ike this, unless it be among mutneerI

The WESTERN BANK OF ScoTLAND.-The
terrible and wide spread suffering has in

the thirteen hundred stockholders, there will
ultimately not be one hundred and fifty who
will have any property left. Many OF tho
sufferers have died, some have become insane,
children have been thrown on the charity of
tiiends and strangers, and there is scarcely a
family in the district which is not to some ex.
tent afflicted. One eminent and esteemed
merchant, who had retired from business and
invested the whole of his ample fortune in
the concern, died last month of a broken
heart another, who had also retired with
