THR CAPTURE OF FGUADALAJARA-Ssf G
OF the Besiegsrs.-The city of Guadalaiara
Mexico, held by Miramon IS forces was captured
on the l1th, by the Liberal party. The n. O.
Picayune says:
Guadaiajara is the second city of the Repub-
lie, rich and prosperous, and has been defend.
ed with great obstnacy. 1t has long bee
moreover, the principal stronghold of the re-
actionists in that part OF the Republic, and ITS
capture is believed to open the way direct to
the capital. Our files abound in most touch.
ing letters from the besieged city, from which
IL would appear, as might indeed have been
expected, that the suffering of the people was
very great. We learn, indeed, from a letter of
General Ortega himself, that on the Ist inst
the suffering had become so great that the fire
upon The CITY was suspended for a space of
three hours, that women and children might
leave the town. How many actually left we
are not informed, but n would appear that the
number was small. l., all probability the
poor people knew not what to dc, and there
1or the space of at least twenty days they re-
mained huddled together in the centre Of the
town, farthest removed from the shots of The
oeslegers, suffering each hour discomforts
ana anxieties which must have been worse
than death itself.
The correspondent of the N. o. Delta, vri-
ting on the 18th inst. from the city of Mexico
gives the following additional particulars of
the suffering of the people at G Guadalaara
A deed OF horror has come to nv knowledga
which surpasses anything of the kind that
has ever been heard OF: "a poor woman. with
the view of fayoring the escape OF her hus-
band, who had been forcibly taken as a soldier.
went to the quartet where he was confined
taking with her some female apparel in
which to disguise him. The unfortunate pajr
were discovered while endeayoring to make
their escape and three hundred lashes were
ordered by the Miramon commandant to be

OWnsrs Of StareS.-It appears from returns
in possession of the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts that there are at the present time, in
Virginia, 1856 slave owners over 81 years of
age This is about one-tourth of the entire
portion of the population who have arrived at
years of maturity. The statement refutes the
ott-repeaed assertion of the Northern Jour-
nails that comparatively small proportion of
the inhabitants of Virginia are intere tied in
the Institution of slavery. The irrepressible
conflict will find the Old Dominion ready to
defend slavery, in which she is so materially
concerned.
