SHARP AFTATR WITH RoIBERs. - A letter
Of the 18Th frem Pusbla says:
The diligence that left this for Perots on the
l1th was attacked two posts this side Of that
place BY twenty-seveh robbers. There we're
seven passengers in all in the diligence,
among them two Americans named McDye
and HALEY, and a Frenchman, whose name /
have not learned. The two Americans we're
well armed, having each rife and a pair Of
revoivers.
On the appearance Of the robbers the stage
was at once stopped, and the two Americans
got cut and commenced E sharp resistance.
The battle waged for about an hour, when the
robbers-those who rsmainsd-retired, leaving
three dead in sight, two OF whom we're killed
BY Mr. NcDye, and the o her bY the French
man. Two dead robbers were afterWard found
in the woods, and it is believed that several
more Of them must have been severely il not
m0rtaliy wounded.
On the part Of the passengers the French
man received the worst wound. He was shot
through the body, and is considered to be in a
dangerous situation. Mr.. McDye received a
ball in bis side, after it had passed through bis
left arm. Bir. Haley was not harmed. The
coachman is said 10 have received a ball
in bis hat To the rest Of The passengers moth
ing happened.
learn that tAe Frenchman was sent after
the BODY Of the unfortunate and lamented
Young Yorke. II this be true, what a comment
upon the promise made BY the Government to
keep the roads secure.
The fight shows what two three plucky
men may do with a party Of bbers. Here
are three men defeating a tY Of twenty
seven robbers. Had the gall young Yorks
been supported by the "colonsl' who was with
hin, and armed, how different would have been
the result. They might easily have killed the
whole Eve.
GErEEAL NEws.-Tne Extraordinary, Of
the 10th, says
Not a day passes but we have some new
tale Of horror-somc account Of outrage and
bloodshed, TO bring tears and anguish home 10
the hresides OF foreign families. In the past
twelve days, on the road from this capital to
Vera Cruz, cne foreigner has been killed, and
Eve others, including lady, have been Sc
verely, IL not mcrtally wounded In the di-
Tection Of Tslica We hear Of a foreigner and
bis wife having been butehersd to the cries Of
"Desth to Foreigners.D
By an srder o. the Minister Of War, given
By the direction Of the Prepdent, hereafter all
titles are to cease in the army, and every BODY,
10 matter his grade, is 70 be known BY the
distinction Of "cltizen." II the Government
would DO away with the eternal "Your Excel
lency," in the forms Of petitions and sd-
dresses 70 the President, members OF cabinet
and governors Of States, It would be, to our
simple judgment, a more truly (perhsps not
more FFsncb) republican step than the one
now taken.
Gems. Vale and Jose Juslo Alvarez have re-
ceiFed grants Of land in Tehusntepee, in re-
compense Of their services 70 the nation.
