New Movement Against Sonora.

ST. LOUIS, April 21.--An editorial in the
Republican this morning calls attention to
secret movement among the Pixies Peak emil
grants for an organization to take possession
Of Sonora and Chihuahua.
A consultation has been already held at St.
Joseph, and perhaps at other points on the
border. Prominent parties here are cognizant
of the movement.
Captain Mowry, bearer of American dis
patches from the American Consul at Guyamas,
passed here yesterday, en- route for Washington.
He left Guyamas, March 25th.
He reports the arrival of an express from
Cosola Sinaloa the day previous, with the news
of an engagement at that place on the 14th
between Pesqueira and Col. Guasso, in which
thelatter was routed, with the loss Of his guns
and five hundred men taken prisoners.
Pesqueira marched Immediately for Mazat-
Ian, which was being guarded by a small force
but will probably be taken without difficulty.
| Sonora was in constant state of revolution

THE FIRE AT THE CORNER OF CoURT AND LINN
sTREETs.-The loss of Messrs Simmons & Knost the
propretors of the planning mill which destroyed
by fire early yesterday morning, at the corner Of
Cosrt and Linn streets, will amount to 5000 or
5000, on which there is an insurance Of S2,5OO
Adjoining this establishment was the bedstead and
chair factory Of Mr.. Hoscher whose loss Will reach
in all probability, 5000; insured for only $780, A
horse worth about $3.50, belonging to this gentleman
perished In the flames.
By this sad affair three famlles-instead Of fifteen,
our types said yesterdey-were driven from their
homes. 1t was one of tho most destructive fires
which has occurred in our city for some time, and
this was entirely in consequence of the infammable
material with which the buildings were occupied.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN GOODS NJ FALSE PaE.
TENsEs.-A young man of good address and genteel
appearance day before yesterday, went to the Hard
ware establishment of Tyler Davidson Co., on Main
street, below Fourth, and ordered about one hun
dred and fifty dollars worth Of files, which he stated
were for Booth q Co., who also Hardware mor-
chants, and do business az the of Pearl and
Walnut streets. He then left the store and sent q
dray for the goods but, in the mean time an :order
came by of the attaches of the establishment of
the last-named firm for teeth Of horticultural
machine of some kind, when inquiry was made in
regard to the files and boy sent TO follow the dray,
which was strange one to its destination. The
drayman, however, by some means, became aware
that he was followed and, fearing he would he de-
tected, drove to the establishment of Booth Co.,
he had been directed. The truth then became ap-
parent that this young man had made bold attempt
to obtain a lot Of goods by false representations
which would have been successful hut for the circum
stance, which could have fnreseen that Booth
& Co. really needed some articles from the firm
| from whom he, in their name, had made his pre-
tended purchases. So well.laid scheme for swind
| ling has not come to our knowledge for some time
| and the person who attempted to perpetrate 1t ha
| certainly talent which might make him respecte
| If he would employ 1t in the performance of goo
deeds He has escaped thus far the vigilance of tn
| officers.

ESCAPE FROM THE NINTH-sTREET STATIoS-HoUsE-
Yesterday morning couple of persons who repre-
,ented themselves sisters of Joseph Baxter the e
low who committed the robbery on Fifth street, a
night two ago, went to tho Ninthstrect Station
house and asked permission to see him, which was
granted after which they sent the officer in chargC
to get him some coffee. While he absent, they
ny some means found the keys, unlocked the cells
and set him at liberty together with Colscott, who
was concerned in the late Main street forgery
and another prisoner, charged with the same oense
named Conant. The latter persons have been re
taken and returned to their cells, but Baxter has
since been heard from. We sincerely hope that jus
tice may overtako both him and his liberators.
Since the above was written we have learned tina
the two females-Emma Baxter and Susan Frazer-
through whose cunning the prisoners escaped, hay
been arrested, and will have an examination thi
morning, before Judge Lowe. This affair can onl!
be regarded another proof of the sef-sacrihcinI
nature of woman.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Constitution
of this morning says that no Minister was ever
treated with more kindness and consideration
by his gov vernment than the late Minister to
Mexico, Mr.. Forsythe, whose suspicious have
converted this open and frank kindness into
covert hostility.
1t was obviously out of the question to send
him back as Minister TO the Liberal Govern
ment of Mexico, simply because, whether
rightfully or wrongfully, he is understood to
have been the first foreign minister to recOg-
nize the anti-constitutional revolution and the
usurped government of zuloaga. This, for
manifest reasons, must have rendered him OBJ
nOxious to the Constitution party and the Lib
eral Government of Juarez.
The exposition sustains the recent statement
in the general newspaper dispatch.

SAD ArrA1R-A WOMAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY
MA HusBAND.-A woman named Elizabeth seheb-
belle, wife of a toamster who resides near Cummins-
Vile, was accidentally shot, while preparing TO re-
tire, about nine o'clock on Wednesday hight; and
although the wound will not prove fatal !, is quite
painful, and VIII confne her TO her room for some
time. She was, we learn, about stepping into bed,
when pistol, heavily loaded, which her husband
was in the act Of hanging upon nail in the wall,
discharged the ball entering her breast and in
hicting frightful wound. The only reason why the
shot did not prove Immediately fatal was the fact
that 1t entered the mammao diagonaly. She has
been married, we believe, but short time, and what
makes the circumstance still more painful, and adds
new pangs to those sho already suffers from the
wound, sho is enceinte, aud expected In short time
TO become mother.
