MEXICAN News AND MATrEns-Impor-
tant news from Mexico has been received.
The latest advices from that country ore to
April 20.
The intelligence Of the national trunphs
in this country has afforded vast encou-
ragement to the adherents of President
Juarez; and his cause, which short time
ago was thought to be almost hopeless, is
now rapidlNrecovering ground. A num-
Der Of victories over the impsrialists have
recently been gained, and n new spirit
appears to be infused into the republican
armies. The report of the capture by
them Of Saltillo and Monterey is confirm
ed, and there were rumors that they had
also taken Matamoros. These events re.
store nearly the whole of North eastern
Mexico to the authority of Juarez. Seve-
raj other republican successes had been
achieved. The imperiaists were as much
alarmed as the liberals were encouraged
by the end of the war in the United States
owing to fears regarding the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine, and had put a
stop to the expedition to the Mort hern
Mexican States and to project for forti-
flying the Northern frontier and 1000
imperial troops had been despatched from
the capital for Matamoros.
President Juarez is still at chihuahua,
surrounded by all his officers of Govern
men: and with large army loyal to his
cause.
Macmillan is on a tour through the
country in the direction Of Vera Cruz
Ex- United States Senator win had re-.
turned to Mexico from France, with i'm.
portant instructions, It was reported, rela-
tive to Louis Napoleon's schemes in Sonora
and Sinaloa.
From w shington. we are informed that
there is prospect of Mexican loan being
shortly placed on the American markets,
based on such securities as will render it a
popular and perfectly safe investment.
There appears to be no abatement in
the Mexican emigration excitement
throughout the North. Recruiting con-
tinues active in New York, and accounts
from other parts of the country show that
the enterprise is extending.

The Loss of the General Lyon.

We extract the following from letter
received in this city from former resident
of Columbia, who was a passenger on
board the steamer General Sedgwick.
which went to the rescue of the General
Lyon:
"The steamer General Lyon left Will
ming,on for Fortress Monroe. with about
500 refugees on board-several from Co
lumbia. On the second day out, she was
burned to the waters edge, and all on
board, but about twenty, were either
burned or drowned. We were within
sight at the time. and our captain run up
as near MS the rough sea would allow. The
women and children We're a!l burned. The
men took all the boats, planks, &c, and
jumped into the sea, but it was so rough
that only twenty reached our boat. Henry
Hunt came to US. and was pulled halfway
up the side of the ship, and then fell back
and was drowned. Among the lost from
Columbia, were Cavis and his family,
Hunt and Phelps, with their families,
Dearne, Stadt1er, Deidrick Windhorn, his
wife child and two brothers, Bews, the
butcher, and his wife, and others that |

were saved. That was the most awful
sight ever witnessed, aud hope never to
see such another

On the 10th, negro got into street
car in Philadelphia, and refused all en-
treaties to leave it. The conductor of the
car, fearful of being fined for ejecting
him, as was done by one of the judges Of
one of the courts in similar case, ran the
car off the track, detached the horses and
left colored to occupy the car all by him
self. The coiored man still firmly main
tanned his position in the car, having spent
the night there. The conductor looks
upon the part lie enacted in the affair as

If laws were made by wise and Just
men only, it might be taken for granted
that popular outbreaks would be unfre-
qnent. Unhappily, cunning and not wis
dom, selfshness and not justice, LOO lre-
quently employ the ermine as a cloak,
when simple faith regards it as an emblem.
The poor and the ignorant who are always
apt to slumber over their rights, are sure
to be the first if not the only sufferers.
Can we wonder that the sense of repeated
wrong and outrage brings with it sense
of desperation? There is terrible truth,
and nc less terrible warning. contained in
the famous justifcatory speech of Robe
sphere, who said, "Is it to be thought
unreasonable that the people, in atone
ment for the wrongs of century, demand
the vengeance of q single day9"

When acquiescence in q certain line of
conduct is unavoidable, is it not more
practical to state the fact as existing be-

mind to realize it slowly by the laboled

reminded that destiny they know to be
inevitable Is at hand, will they not be
better prepared to meet III Let those who

The mistakes and errors Of youth are the
evil genii which wait upon our manhood,
and the ghosts that make Us trembIe in old
age. They chill our ardor when ardor
would be success; oppose our progress
when to advance would be to conquer;
haunt our walks, which might otherwise
be blessed by the happiest spirits-by love,
by grace, by faith and beauty-and are
not to bc lad by all our exorcism., nor to
be ertreated by all oursupp;ications. We
have raised them, in our folly, till they
have grow superior to the check of our
wisdom. Our very friends are useful to
encourage their assaults and to keep them
from perlshing. They keep them wax eful,
when, perhaps, they would prefer to be at
rest quite as much as ourselves

The only escape from grief is to EN-.
ployment. The only resource against it is
in religion; yet it is neither our policy nor
our destiny to escape it altogether-since
it is by grief that We gather strength in
heart and soul, as labor endows the arms
with muscle and manhood. Not to sorrow
freely is never to open the bosom to the
sweets Of the sunshine.

from the Franklin Gazotte.l

The people of small means, constituting
the great bulk Of the community, are not
going to quietly submit to see their rich
neighbors enjoying exemption from taxa
ton which is robbing them Of the fruits of
their toll, and they will unite to prevent
the election to Office of any man not pledg-
ed to oppose the continuance of such ex-
emption. -...... ...'.,r.. l-a'.
1t is little singular, says the Ne0bauy-
port Herald (Rep., too), that the Republican
States like Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire, and the great anti-slavery leader
Wendell Phillips, should have taken the
lead in giving action to this feeling.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-08-24

At the Republican Convention on the 18th
at Bowling Green, a most disgraceful scene
occurred. Some soldiers who had real or
imaginary difficulties to settle with Capt.
Curry, the Republican nominee for Repre-
sentative, swore that they would buck and
gag him. and "made for him." or "went for
him." as they expressed it, for the purpose
of doing 50. The Captain ran from them as
fast as he could, took shelter in a store, after
running some 80 rods. Here he thought
himself safe, but in this he was much mis-
taken. They soon drove him from his hi
ding place. He then ran across the street
and into another store, a crowd of some two
or three hundred running after him-only
q few of whom wished to do him harm
the balance out of meIe curiosity we sup
pose for they made no effort to assist the
Captain. He remained but short time in
this latter place of refuge till he was forced
to run tor his life again, and ran into a third
store, which he was forced to leave in
a very few minutes, his pursuers now
at his heels striking and kicking him
whenever they could, as n he ran
through the crowd. We were told
that he was knocked down three times, but
we did not see him knocked down at all;
we saw him once on the ground, but sup
posed he fell in attempting to run through
the crowd. Here two or three friends rem
dered him a little assistance and he got out
of the crowd, and ran as fast as he could,
pursued as before but this time he outstrip-
ped his pursuers and got into his buggy
and drove home, ....-..s..t.. ~. " -. .
Thus ended the most disgraceful scene it
has ever been our misfortune to witness.
Here, in broad daylight, the nominee of the
party for an honorable Office, attending his
own party's convention, is set upon by a
number of men belonging to his own party,
and no one to rescue him, but some of his
own party rather standing back and saying
to one another, that shows how the soldiers
like Captain Curry" Curry may have done
wrong-may have abused his men-this
we know nothing about-but if he did and
deserves killing or Furnishing in any other
way there is certainly some law by which.
this can be done, without having soldiers
who have been good and true to their coun-
try, take the law into their own hands, and
thus, constitute themselves mob.-ToledO

Lands Located in Ohio, West Virginia and
..'. Pennsylvania

THE PROPERTIES OF THIS COMPA.
Il ny consist of 423 acres of the most desirable
OIL Lands in these States, selected with care and
judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek, Green county, Pennsylvania, where, in pro-
portion to developments, the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found. is superior to Oil creek, it com
manding higher price in the Pittsburg market
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongeia and Wetzell counties, and are considered
among the best in the State.
In Ohio, the Company property Is located in Knox
county, where the indications are most favorable,
Oil of superior character as lubricator being
found at depth Of $50 feet, on adjacent lands and
within few feet of the Companys property.
The Company are already sinking one well, and
have arranged to two more, as soon as the
necessary machinery can be put on the ground
THREE WELLS have recently been struck only a
short distance from the property of this Company.
EITHER ONE of which would, in year, nearly re-
pay the entire ca pital Of the Company. ,.
! The officers of this Company, in placing its stock
before the public, are confident that the induce
ments offered are not surpassed by any Company
in the country. The Capital Stock is small for the
amount of valuable Oil territory the Company pos
sess and the assurance Of a speedy and large re-
turn to the stockhoder is almost certain.
Full and detailed information given on applica-
ton to the Seci etary and Treasurer.
