follows
The news reached here t. day that Vidanri had
been defeated near San Luis Potos aud been
forcsd to fall back upon Monterey. This news has
struck terror into the ranks of the Liberals here.
1t is also rumored that Echeagsray is marching
upon Vera Cruz with a considerable force. But
there is no faith to be put 10 reports, and
entirely cut eff from all reliable interior
nication by mail or otherwise, there is telling
what reliance is to be put in any of the numerous
rumors that are aflost from day to day.
