As the steamer Alabama was leaving on

with twelve hundred troops was marching
on Bagdad, aud that the llllbusters had

"Sinco the above was in type, we have
learned that dispatches have been received
by Gen. Wright to the eject that after the
capture, the Mexican General Escabado
and the fllibuster Crawford, went 20 Bag

each officer taking his own odherents. In
the meantime pillaging and plumber were
continually going on to such an extent that
the officer in command at GAINESVILLE was

private property"

has given the Liberal leaders new energy.
