BALTIMORE. May I3.-Vera Cruz dates to the
10Th state that the city was closely besieged by the
Liberals. who were using their only available field
piece with little effect. Only a few had been in
jured, and no lives lost. There is no probability
of the Liberals taking the city, unless the Imperial
Generals disagree among themselves, causing the
surrender.
Sickness among the b~esiegers was amusing
alarming proportions. The City of Mexico was
invested by Diaz. and it was the intention of Mar
quez to defend the city at all hazards. The be
sieging force now numbers 1000. and receives
additions daily. The fall of the city is considered
certain. az hunger will compel the besicged to

that was not his object. He felt, no doubt, that his last
moments were fast approaching, and unable to draw
his last sigh in his own Java, he sought the next
best place, nearest in many respects to his far off
home. For, could he not see beneath him as his fee
bic wings for the last time held him above the earth,
something very similar to the phlegmatic, ~self-sufi-
cient and inactive politicians who rule and moulder
in his native land. Alas for poor crow he had, as
it were, come home TO die. He dropped in the gov
eminent yard a dead bird, full Of fairness, of which
he died. No more shall we hear his cheerful car; no
more will our young chickens serve ms his morning

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of a Line of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many Important towns are now with
out any telegraphie communicates whatever, and
the lines now established between ether points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following err
cuitous routes. hundreds OF miles out OF direct
course causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason OF numerous repetitions,
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne IN mind that the
liability of telegraph line 10 damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as It's
length, and that the repetition of Il message dou-
Ties the time necessary for its mission, the
great and very important advantages of a direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen.
