Terrible Storm on the Mexican Coast.

The Mexican correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin, under date Of November
7lh, gives the following particulars Of the
great storm on the Mexican coast lie says:
The late storm 10 Mexico is said to have
been the most severe experienced there for
the p.st seventy years, lasting from the 10th
TO the 10Th of October. Its course appears
to have been from Cape St. Lucas, Lower
California, running to La Paz, Carmen Isl
land Loreto, Guaymas, and as far north as
Hermoslo, and to the south as far as Ala
mos, extending back into the Sierra Madrs.
The La Pura Mining Compauy's mill is said
to have been entirely washed away, and other
mining companies had suffered The pruci'
pal towns and pueblos on the rivers Yaqui
and Mayo were entirely destroyed by fresh
cts. Twenty houses were washed away in
Loreto, but 90 lives were lost, as the people
took refuge 10 the church. The town Of
Alamos has only six houses not damaged in
the place, all the rest that are left being more
or less injured. Over one hundred houses.

gradsns and grape vineyards were entirely

where it stood, while the river, which pre-
viousIy ran east Of his place, now divides,
one portion running west, down one OF the
principal streets Of Alamos. At last accounts

august presence Of the mighty Hunter and
Wallace, encased with irons, with letters and
shsckiss. They condemned her to die by
strsngulalion Oh the scatfod and with rs'
finemsnt Of cruelty not being known in this
generation, they only allowed her twelve
hours between the announcement of the sen.
tence and its dread execution. They were
apparently afraid that if q reasonable time
was allowed, the passions Of the hour would
subsids-that there would be an Executive
Interference, and that their prey would es
cape them. Hence they hurried it on with
indecent haste to its consummation. The
tragedy was accordingly flushed, and no cir.
cums,ance was omitted TO increase it's atroci
| ty. Very few believed at the time that the
woman would be executed. A reprieve OF
pardon was looked for at the last moment
and details, therefore, Of the proceedings up,
on the scaffold were read with surprise and
horror. The actors in this bloody drama did
not have long to wait for popular judgment
upon them. Within two years from the
commission of the deed, even a man with as
i'll reputation as General B. F. Butler, stained
as be is with odium, pointed bis finger at
Bingham, and denounced him in the strong
est terms for bis participation iu the Surratt
execution. He held him up to the scorn and
hatred Of the world. Generals Hunter, Wall
lace and others who comprised the commits
sion, bavs sought to free themselves from
blame, by the statement that after they found
Mrs. Surratt guilty, they signed paper
commencing her to the mercy Of the Prssi.
dent. The President feeling the force of this,
denies that he ever received the paper in
question, and he intipa,es that it was sur
pressed by some one 10 the War Department.
Preston King, Of New York, who WAS then
at the Presidents mansion, is said to have
been the person who took upon bimself the
responsibility of denying Miss Anna Surratt
admission TO the presence Of the President to
ntercede for her mother on the morning of
the day of the execution. II so, va do not

Grafton.
We have often wondered what could be
the motives of Stanton and Holt in their per-
secution Of this hapless woman. Had it been
a prominent political opponent upon whom
they could have gratiied their personal and
political resentment, we should not have fel,
any surprise. But both her Sex and position
in life were such as seem to forbid the idea
that she could have rendered herself in any
peculiar manner obnoxious to the crusl men
then at the head Of the Government. The
only reconciIabe theory is :hs: that at the
time it was more the purpose of Stanton and
Holt to strike "tsrror' than the execution Of
one for whom her innocence and sex alike
plead 10 vain.- Cincinnati Enquirer.

AN AWFUL SCENE.

Down BY the lake shore at Grenada. and
buried under thick mat Of vegetation, are
walls and broken towers and stone pavements.
which might be taken for ruins of lost city.
They are but the dye works of Spanish plant
ers. On every side of the town these broken
watts are to be found, and many Of the largest
are in a conditiH for use at an hours notice.
But l. liked best those ruined baths and pave
ments by the lake shore. Some of The tanks
still held green and moulderiug water, the
haunt of noisome reptiles, such as we love to
watch and shudder at. But to no careless
passer-by did those strange habitants reveal
themselves. At the first sound Of cracking
branches there was swirl and sway in the
dark water, and rustic under the sweeping
foliage that trailed across the brim. When
all was still again, the green and purple slime
broke slowly over the surface, and strange
shining heads peered out between. Mighty
frogs bubbed up, and lay prone among the
ooze, duly staring nameless beetles clamb,s
cred about; pale nevis rose and sank, with
dim flash of rested tails. Here and there,
too, shone the triangular head of the water
snake. and beyond the gray coils Of his long
scaled body lay cleaning through the slime.
Bright insects leaped and flew, and dozed
upon the surface; bright flowers spaugled
dropping foliage. A garland of blue con-
volvulous drpped down among nameless
horrors. Once from the sheltered nook in
which | watched my tank, saw glorious
and an awful sight. Everything that day
was still and stagnant as ever. The big
frogs spravled in quietness; the snakes lay
peacefully outstretched; all was still as could
be, save for the leapiug of the red spiders
and the buzz Of gay flies. thought knew
the depth of that tank aud all its my stories.
Its snakes and its nevis, and its toads were,

Suddenly a furious swirl, and a plunge, and
a boiling of the tank. The slime was driven

A LADY THIEF SMorHERED WITH ATTEN.

(Mich Republicans: "A certain lady in this
village. whom we shall call Mrs. Jones for

in the cellar of one of our stores A few
days since she visited the cellar with the

hastened back to the store and informed one
of his fellow clerks Of what he had accideut

dalely held, when one of the clerks resolved
to ascertain the correctness of their suppo.
sition, viz: that Mrs. Jones had a number of
eggs concealed in her dress. In order to DO
this, the clerk seized an axe handle aud COM
menced honrsbing it near the entrance to
the cellar. As soon AS Mrs Jones made her
appearance in the store the clerk addressed
her thus "Oh, Mrs Jones, there is a spider
on your Dress" which he instantly struck in
several places with bis shilaah, causing the
eggs to break and stream from her crinolins

WASHINGTON, April THE counsel for
the President do not think the trial will
continue beyond next Monday week, and
may end before that time.
The Supreme Court yesterday reversed
decree of the Court Of Claims in land war
rant case, on the ground that the court be-
low could take cognizance only of cases in
which money was in controversy.
The Supreme Court affirmed the decree
of the District Court of Florida, which had
decided that a vessel that appeared rs a
prize of war, while attempting to break the
blockade in Mobile Bay, was not liable for
claims presented by parties in New Or
leans for repairs and provisions, which had
been furnished three years before the cap
ture.
Gen. Hancock will establish permanent
headquarters in this city tomorrow.
Gen. Grant has issued a general order
requiring the cultivation of gardens at
military posts for the use of the army
The usual Cabinet meeting was held this
morning. Adjutant General Thomas was
present.
Among the visitors to the President,
during the forenoon, were Lieutenant Gen
eral Sherman and Collector Smytb, of New
York.
The Auditor of Montana writes to j. p.
Bruce, now in this city, under date of
March 9th, that owing TO the increase Of
machinery, and the discovery of new gold
and silver fields in that territory, the yield
Of these metals will be ten times more than
last year.
