Awful Catastrophe in Mexioo.

The Mexican village of San Andres
Calchicomula not far from Orizaba, was,
during the first week of last month, the
scene, Of an awful catastrophe -either a
powder store explosion or an earthquake.
According to official accounts, 1899 men,
either soldiers or officers, were killed,
and 225 women, children and men, more
or less dangerously wounded. It is said,
in letter from Orizaba, that the total of
the victims of this terrible accident
amounts to $500, of whom 1000 were kill
ed and 300 wounded. "There is not"
says the letter, "a single pane of glass,
nor one article of glassware, left unbro-
ken in the dwelling houses. Buildings
were generally damaged, in the town as
well as the neighborhood. The political
chief of Orizaba returned his thanks to
the French and Spanish officers for the
voluntary assistance they gave the VIC
Tins"

General Price in Memphis.

Gen. Sterling Price arrived in Memphis
on the 10th ult., and was followed by a
clamorous throng TO the Gayoso Hotel,
where, in response to the continuous
cheering Of the multitude, lie addressed
them in n few words: - r,-5--
He said he felt deeply the compliment
paid him by this demonstration, but
would prefer demonstrating his gratitude
to his fellow countrymen on tho battle
field, where he expected soon to be heard
from more favorably than from the stump
The time for speech making had passed,
and the time for action had arrived. He
had commenced this service without
men, money or munitions of war; now
he could boast of gallant band of true
soldiers not inconsiderable in numbers
and unsurpassed in valor and zeal, who
would stand by him, and he by them. to
the end-for veal or for woe, come when
that hour may. He had returned the
arms and supplies he had borrowed to be.
gin with, and still retained abundant sup.
plies for the valorous sons of the West
won'by them in the conflicts of the past
for future use. He expected soon to be
heard from in the laundering tones of the
cannon. the roar Of musketry, and the
clashing Of bayonets.
Gen. Price looks to be about sixty years
of age-remarkably large in person, with
marked dignity Of demeanor and manly
bearing.

Gen. Beauregard's Orders.

Gen. Beauregard had just issued the
following order from the headquarters of
the army of the Mississippi:
For the sake of the cause in defense
of which we are oil engaged in this criti-
cal hour, the general Commanding is i'm.
PEELED to appeal to the good sense and
patriotism Of the officers of this army to
give prompt and jealous heed and ODE.
dience to all orders cmanating from SUI
perior authority. Implicit obedience to
the orders Of your superiors is the soul
of discipline, and is essential to give
unity, energy, and success to military OPP
erations. With it an army becomes dis
ciplined--a perfect, yet disciplined ma
chine, calm and steady amid the great
est danger, and easily welded by it's
commanders. Without it, an army is
soon converted into an armed mob, una.
valuable in action and inefficient. Set
ting an example of obedience to the men,
their control will be easy. Teach and
inspire your junior Officers and men
with the conviction that there must be
discipline in this army, strict discipline,
but not humiliating, subordination to
authority founded on sense of its abso-
lutte necessity for our success, rather than
upon the mere orders of service. And
the general commanding feels assured he
will be able to lead you successfully to
the credit Of your country, and your re-
nown. But otherwise he can anticipate
only disaster and the disgraceful issue to
this campaign.

Tyranny at the North.

Among the official documents found
among Gen. Prentiss' papers was the fol-
lowing from person perfectly willing to
be made tool in the dirty work of sub
iugakhg even'the thinking people of the
North. Weare glad of the opportunity
of ventillating the zealot:
OFFICE OF THE WING AND REPUBLICAN,
QUINCY, February IL, 1852.
Gen. B. M. Prcntiss: will you send me
the form of the oath you administer to
"seceshes" when you wish to make them
behave themselves. may be obliged to
try it upon John Taylor; can't tell till !
hear from st. Louis, but it is well enough
to be prepared any way. A man by the
pame of Wilcox, said to hail from Palmy-
ga. wanted the privilege OF carrying pow.
der. buckshot and lead over. l referred
to you for an order, that it was destined
for loyal purposes. He promised TO get
one. Nevertheless he may try to run il
over IN the night. Better have squad
OF men TO keep an eye on him.
In haste, yours truly, et
JAs.J. LANopoN. Surveyor.

the letter We find that opportunity wa,
afforded to make the ssceshes behave

Gen. Prentias Drunk.

The Richmond Enquirer learns that at
Jackson city, Miss, ''the Fedsral Brig.
Gen. Prentiss, who had been released on
parole, got uproariously drunk, and stag
gered about the streets, cheering for the
Union" and shouting for Abe. Gov.
Fettus, of Mississippi, had him re-arrested
and locked up
The Enquirer is also informed that "All
of tho Yankee prisoners express great
anxiety lest they will be exchanged. -
They say that they do not wish to go back
if they are to be put in the army again.
They prefer rather to remain in impris-
onment, or to be sent to their own coun-
try on parole not to fight again.

The leader Of the party is named An.

hostility to the South. He was hired by
the Lincoln authorities to burn the State
Road bridges, and IL possible TO bring
through to them an engine. Those ac-
compnhying him belonged to the army,
and had been detailed to do the work.
We are Informed that the one who

The Richmond Enquirer reads the press
of the South an excellent lecture upon
the employment of the sensation head
ings. Astounding. Thrilling" }"Ex-
traordinary," e Tremendous" Crush
ing" Terrible" Awful" Appalling
etc. He THINKS that Southern papers
should prefer the language of simple
truth, stated with animation and dignity,
and leave to Northern journalists the en-
ployment of great captions and turgid de-
scriptions to make their papers sell. We
hope the sensible advice Of the Enquirer
will be needed.
