MAZArLAN, April II, 1858.
Constant excitement continued to exist over the
impending battle between the forces under Martinez
and those under General Corona and Governor Rubi.
On the 2sth reports reached here that battle
had been fought In the vicinity OF Rosa de la Laguna
and that the revoutonists were routed with large
losses in killed and wounded The reports proved to
be caaard. No battle had yet taken place, although
both armie were constantly active in procuring
endorsements, taking up positions and feeling the
eneny's intentions. The revolutionists added to
their force every day by conscription, and it was
asserted that sis city would be Immediately forced
to contribute to the cause its fancy able.bodled
population, who have heretofore been able to dodge
the issues through one influence or another. Con-
sternation upon the faces OF dry goods clerks and
other dainty youths who have bat little relish for the
pomp and glories Of war. In the interior absolute
terror relgned among those ut the mercy of the
scrlptos. Wherever they fed they were pursued and
watched until captured. When issuing from their
hiding places DAY or night. IN search of
food and water, their trail was guarded
as hunters watch their prey, and they were
pounced upon by the strong arm and renlorse!ess
win Of despotsm. owing to the reports that sew
eral women have been outraged In the districts Of
country occupied by the revoutonists and that Gen.
eral Martinez was filing all the offices here with
"Guadalajara men"-men from his own state,

Rubi The rancheros, who up to this time had tried
to be independent and tried to live quietly upon their
farms, were voluntarily hooking to the standard OF
the constitutional Executive, as were also many of
those who were no Ion ger able to conceal themselves
or were suffering for want flood and water in their
retreats. Even these latter, while they would prefer
to be out OF duty In either army, as last resort
freely attached themselves to the fate and fortunes Of
the army OF the Governor. This change Of senti-
ment was Intensified by the knowledge that the gen.
eral government had placed at the disposal Of Gen.
eral Corona all the men and means he asked for to
suppress the rebellion, and that already he had
pushed forward the commands Of Generals Guerra,
PARA and Tolentine SO rapidly that they have made
junction with the forces Of Rubl at Copaa. On

Gutierrez left Guadalajara for COpaa at the head
Of o well armed and equipped cavalry regiment
same date, SO that the entire fourth division was
marching to this State or had partly arrived. But
the revoptiOnists did not seem to be at all swed.
Their unreenting bitterness towards Corona fired
them with malicious eagerness to meet him either
personally or as commander OF an army. Here Is
another proof positive Of this In the shape Of the
