A Large Eagle caught near Yonguesville
Mr.. r. i. Mobley has laid on our
table the leg, foot and talons of a
monster eagle captured by him near
Eongucsvillc in this District. The
eagle measured six feet nine inches
from tip to tip Of its wings. The
span of its terrible talons is six and a
half inches. Those who desire to see
for themselves may call at this Office.
IL may be remembered that about
IA year ago Mr.. Bricc killed u large
eagle in tic same ncighborhood:
The old custom used to be, to Give
every sportsman who killed u hawIz, a
chicken pie. We think Mr. Mobly
deserves from his ncighbors either a
roasted turkey or goose. Mr.. MOLLY
caught the eagle BY setting trap, and
batting it with tho wing Of a goose
which had been killed by his royal
birdship.

Quite a stir was created last Satur-

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

Special correspondence of the Pcayuno.
ORIzABA, Mexico, March I6, l867.-For
two weeks past, no communication has been
permitted between this point and Vera
Cruz In fact, no native or foreigner was
allowed, during that time, to pass through
the Liberal lines. Telegraph and mail
communication have ceased for some thirty
days The same condition Of things exists
westward. No mail, no intercourse of any
kind with the capital. The Imperial gar
rison at Vera Cruz is completely isolated,
Puebla being the nearest friendly post. An
order has Just been issued, permitting the
passage of foreigners from the interior into
Vera Cruz Mail communication with
points adjacent to the capital is about being
re-established, not connecting, however,
with Puebla. That city is now in state
of siege, some 1000 Liberals under Porfirio
Diaz having invested it. An attempt TO
STERN the place will be made in four or five
days. The suburbs are already in the oe-
cupation of Liberal troops. The garrison
5000 men-have fortified the main plaza,
and mounted about one hundred cannon at
the various barricades, and ready for des-
perate fight. The place must fall into
Liberal hands soon.
From Queretaro we have no recent INTEL
ligence, and that little only through Libe-
raj sources. A battle has been fought in
the locality of Alende, in which Maximi-
lian participated, and where it is reported
he was wounded in the foot. My authority
reports an Imperial reverse in this action, to
what extent and with what loss is unknown.
1t is understood also that the forces of Es-
cobedo and Corona are falling back north
ward before the columns ef Miramon and
Macmillan. Whether this Liberal move
ment is to gather strength and for the pur-
pose of weakening the Imperialists has not
transpireG, but certain il is that the falling
back is in perfect order and by no means a
retreat 1t is to be presumed that before
this date sharp work must have occurred
in the region north of Queretaro. Maxi
milan has a force of from fourteen TO seven
teen thousand well-armed men. The Lib
erals outnumber him two to one. Imperial
desertions are said to be heavy.
All is quiet in the capital business is in
a state of prostration. The railroad Is
closed for the present, so there is no trade
from the Gulf towards the capital. All
points and all territory between Puebla
and the Gulf are in possession of Liberal
forces. As a consequence the usual pres
tamos have been levied and collected, in
the proportion, say, of $4,000 to the 1000
inhabitants, paid altogether by the mer
chants and wealthy citizens. This is only
number one prestamo. Aside from these
forced loans everything is tranquil. Vera
Cruz is surrounded, but the force investing
il is not strong enough TO take it. A pro-
nunciamento of the garrison would be ef-
fective. but that event ia uncertain. Juarez
is at Zacatecas. Garcia is Governor of the
State Of Vera Cruz. A. c. C.

COLD CoMFORr FOs THE SOUTH.

The concert, last night for the benefit Of
the sufiererssof the South, was but a slim
affair. Itwas projected in a benevolent
spirit. but there was no response by the
public, and we fear that the failure will
have the effect of preventing any other de-

seems that we have been in error in sup
posing that the artists had volunteered
their valuable services" No doubt but
that they have an exalted idea Of the divine
principie of charity; but in this case, at
