The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-02-20

We take pleasure in calling the attention of the
public to the engagement of Miss MATILDA HERON
at the Holiday Street Theatre, which begins
tonight with the performance of Camille, play
and character which Miss HERON has made almost
exclusively her 1t is several years since this
great trogedienne has appeared upon our boards,
and during the interval she has achieved a reputa-
ton and position which place her in the front
ranks of dramatic artists. We trust that her vel.
come tonight will be worthy of her fame and
of the recognized taste and iberaty of our theatre
going public. With the exception of Miss CUsHMAN,
we have no tragic actress on our stage who can be
brought into comparison with Miss HERON, and it
is due to her, and to the cement that her re-
ceptioh should be a brilliant one.
FROM BUENoS AYREs.-We have news from Bue-
nos Ayres to the 2lst of December. A very i'm
portant election was to be held in four DAYS. when
delegates would be chosen to examine the constitu
ton of the Argentine Confederation If these gen.
tlemen approve of the instrument, Beunos Ayres
would at once enter the Federation. The Para
guayan war steamer Tacuari still remained in port
a sort of prisoner to the British ships Hector F.
Varela, native reformer, to set out on a visit
to the United States. An immense demand existed
for wool, to fill orders from Germany, but the clip
of the year would be very short in yield.
THE WESTERN MARYLAND Observation-Disclosures
meeting of the citizens of Washington county was
to have been held in Hagerstown on Friday last,
to receive the report of committee appointed at

to be in earnest about the matter, and evince
spirit of determination to secure closer business
connections with the city of Baltimore.

on the 18th instant also had under consideration
the project of constructing railroad from Union

MORE TROUBLES IN MEXICo.-The Arizona mail
received in New Orleans the morning of the
18TH brings intelligence of the renewal of the civil
strife in the States of Sonora and Sinaloa Mexico
1t seems to have had its origin in the reported sue
cesses of Mramon, which emboldened the Ecclesi
astcal party to make attempt to get posses
sion of the government. In Sonora, the so-called
Liberal party, headed by Pesquera, promised a
successful resistance, but it believed that Sna-
loa would soon fall into the hands of the Church
party.
