Advices from Mexico.

New York, Jan. l2.-Late advices from
Mexico state that Macmillan has issued a
manifesto directing the revision by his
ministry of the titles and claims under
which the ecclesiastical property has been
held for sometime, in effect declaring that
it belonged to the State, and that it is in
the province of the government to exer-
that he opened negotiations with the Pope
while in Rome on the subject, but to bis
great surprise he finds the Nuncio just
arrived in Mexico without instructions il
the matter. He therefore boldly adopts bis
own policy, aud it is said it was received
with enthusiasm.
The Belgian legation bad reached Mexi.

THE AFTER DISCOVERED TESTIMONY.
The alleged important after discovered testi-
mony which Aiken, counsel for Mrs.. Surratt,
stated would prove her innocence was submitted
to Judge Advocate General Holt on Thursday
night, and after a careful examination, he failed
to discover anything in ii having bearing on
the case. This was communicated to the Presi-
dent and doubtless induced him to decline to
interfere in the execution of Mrs Surratt
SCENES AT THE sURRATT HOUSE.
The residence of Mrs. Surratt, on H street
north, near Sixth, remained closed on Friday
after the announcement of her fate had become
known.
10 the evening but single dim light shone
from one Of the rooms, while withia the house
Gil was as quiet as death up to about eight
o'clock, at which hour Miss Annie E. Surratt,
VINO has been In constant attendance upon her
mother, drove up to the door in hack, accom-
panied by gentleman.
She appeared to be perfectly crushed with
grief, and as she alighted from the carriage
some ladies standing near were moved to tears
Of sympathy with the unfortunate girl whose
every look and action betrayed her anguish.
Miss surratt, after gaining admittance 10 the
house tainted several times, causing great hustle
and excitement among the inmates, who were
untiring in their efforts to console the almost
heart-broken young lady.
From early in the evening until late hour at
night hundreds of persons, old and young, male
and female. visited the vicinity Of Mrs. Surratt's
residence, stopping upon the opposite side of
the street, glancing over with anxious and
eyes upon the house in which the
conspirators met, commenting upon the fate OF
the doomed woman, and the circumstances con-
neeted Herewith.
During the evening not less than FIVE hundred
persons visited the spot.

Terrible Calamity in Wisconsin.

Effects of the Tornado in Vroqua-Sepsntesa
Persons Killed and One Hundred Wounded.
One day last week, we gave a telegraphic
account Of terrible tornado at Yiroqua, Wis
oonsin, by which many were killed and wounded.
The La Crosse Republican comes to us with full
particulars Of this calamity, extracts from which
we print. The Republican says:
"The terrible calamity that has fallen upon
the people Of Vernon coanty, Wisconsin, will
nppall the stoutest heart. In an instant fifty
families were thrown from happiness and COM
fort into grief and adversely. About four O'Clock
in the afternoon Of Thursday, June 18th, two
angry-loOking clouds approached each other
from the north and south, aud met at short
distance west Of the village Of Viroqua, Vernon
county, Wisconsin. The people watched the
threatening events with deep solicitude. When
those tWo forces came in contact, they whirled
off at a tangent, and moved in an easterly direc-
tion, and passed through the very heart of the
beautiful village, carrying death, destruction,
and danger in their progress. In moment,
about fifty buildings were demolished and
scattered to the winds, seventeen persons killed,
and about one hundred men, women, and
children injured. The hurricane continued
eastward in its course (; and tits yet unknown
where its havoc ceased.
"For several miles east of Viroqua it destroyed
everything in its course. The total destruction
Of property is estimated attwo hundred thousand
dollars. The citizens Of Viroqua and the sur
rounding country have done, and are doings
what they can to relieve the distressed but it
is an emergency that appeals to the prompt
benevolence Of the citizens Of this and other
places"
number Of citizens have issued an appeal
for aid for the sufferers, in which they say:
son the 29th day of June, 1866. Whirlwind
swept through the county of Vernon, in course
from west to east, uprooting trees, sweeping
away fences, barns, and dwelling until
1t reached the county seat, unroofng the court
house, raaing the 9Smss' printing office to it's
foundation, demolishing the new stores of
M. G. Nichols and D. B. Priest, and the store
of John Dawson, the Methodist Episcopal
Church, blacksmith shop, and fifteen dwelling
houses. About q dozen more houses were
ruined. Most Of them were lifted from their
foundations, dashed in pieces, and the fragments
we're scattered to the four winds Of heaven;
then continuing its course, we have heard Of it
for distance Of ten miles, raging with unabated
fury, and still rushing onward. Seventeen lives
were lost, and more cannot survive, besides
many MANNED and mutlated By this appalling
calamity men of energy and influence are
reduced to poverty. At least one hundred and
fifty persons are homeless, wanting food, and
destitute of wearing apparel. Anything which
will afford relief win be thankfully received and
faithfully appropriated. Remittauces may be
addressed 10 D. B. Priest, chairman, Viroqua,

GRT OFF THAT STUMP.-Among the paroled
rebel soldiers who came up on the steamer Lady
Gay, on Tuesday, says the Cairo Democrat, was
a man a little over seven and half feet high.-
He started out with the Missouri troops at the
commencement of the war, and stuck to them
until the t'dog was dead" and never received
scratch. Soon after he was mustered into the
rebel service the regiment to which he belonged
appeared before the Colonel on dress parade,
and the Colonel, who prided himself on the hns
appearance and good size Of his men, cast his
eyes along the line, with smile of self-satis-
faction until they rested on the towering form
Of the tall Missourian, when be knit his brows,
and called fercely in thunder tones, "Get of
that stump, you imperiinent scoundrel, or I'll
order you under arrest" The soldiers looked
at each other, wondering what the Colonel
meant, but no one moved. Finding his author-
ity treated with disrespect he fairly boiled with
rage, and, advancing to the big soldier, ex-
claimed, 'tWhat in the d-l are you standing
ont" The soldier respectfully replied, "On my
feet, Colenel." The Colonel was completely
taken abaok, as he surveyed this tall specimen
Of humanity from head to foot in blank
amaaement he mumbled an apology for his
rude remarks and hastened away, leaving his
men convulsed with laughter. "Get off that
stump" became a by word with the Missouri
rebels and it will, no doubt, live as long as the
long Missourlan.
