The Detroit Advertiser says that
during the latter part of the past week
Mr.. G. II. Minguyer, paymaster on the
Great W. stern Railway, absconded with
about 100000 of the Company's funds
in his possession. The reason for these
proceedings appears only known to him
self. He has for number of years been
prominently connected with the Great
Western Railway, and was at one time
paymaster on that road as well as the De-
troit and Milwaukee, during which time
he performed his duties ably and faith
fully. His character for honesty has al

of occasions, been trusted with large

!. THE MEXICAN MINISTER GONE HONE
: The general impression. up 10 this
time, has been that the Mexican Minister
Senior Romero. was still at Washington
, 1t appears that he left that city some
weeks ago, and is now in Mexico. Be
fore leaving he placed the archives OF the
nation in the hands of the Minister from
,, Peru, Senor Baraida, empowering him
to act as charge d'affares during his alb

The Richmond Examiner denies that
desertions are any more common now than
they have been from the rebel army.

by the Constitution of the United States.
Let them return to the shelter and pro-
lection Of that great charter, and their
rights are perfectly secure. This they
can do-and this they must do, if they
wish the war to end.
