MEXICO, Sept. &.-Affars in the State of San Luis
PotOsi have assumed a threatening aspect. The par
tisans of the Constitutional Governor Don Juan
Bustamante, are numerous in the State, and party
of them, numbering over 1000 mel, of whom part
were armed with Henry's rifles, defeated and took
prisoners in Bocas and in CatOrce some troops OF
the acting Government of said State, and were
threatening to proceed against the City of San Luis
Potos In this danger. the acting Governor, Don
Carlos TOvar, applied by telegram to the Federal
Government for assistance, and this replied imme-
diately, ordering Gen. Martinez to protect that
town. The authorities OF Coahuila and Nneyo Leon
appear TO have assisted Bustamente, and II the affair
is not managed with much prudence and energy 1t
may prove dangerous to the very existence Of the
present authorities.
Some yirulent attacks have been made against the
Finance Minister Don Matas Romero, by various
parties seconded by some of the newspapers, and it
is reported that he is about to retire from the Cab
met but believe that he will stand fall by the
important projects of financial reform which he has
again recommended to Congress 1t will be dihcult
to find worthy successor TO this gentleman who is
animated by the best ideas and most patriotic de-
sres for the advancement OF his country, is most
indefatigable worker and possesses capacity OF no
mean order, together with enlightened ideas.
Some curious stones have been discovered IN Tula
de HidalgO, of which native correspondent writes:
There is stratum not very thick, composed of
scales of rock of the same kind placed horizontally
upon which stratum there is whttish green earth,
all exposed TO view by the rains. The exterior
iDgs have been broken off by the action of time.
forming small promontory of fragments, which, as
can readily be seen, present great variety Of ap-
pearance, and each face has received and is con-
stantly receiving the landscape III front Of il, by
means of color so perfect that believe that art
itself cannot produce such relative exactness rs you
will see by the samples. The faces that receive said
images are only those the sides where the scales
of the rocks have been broken and those the
fiat surface. which indicates that the grain
or pores of the rock are horizontal, and
the pbenomehOh. 1t is observed that some OF the
faces of the rock, the newest ones, receive two
images at The same time inverse or opposite, that ~
to say one whose base rests on the upper angle OF
the ground aud the vortex above, and the other, in
verse whose baseEests also on the upper angle the
sape as those produced by an optical apparatus OF
only one lens. The faces which begin TO receive the
first impressions only present the images OF the near
est trees with a wonderful perfection and beauty
those which have been in one position for q long
time without variation present the complete land
scape within the whole visible horizon and even the
most distant mountains by which it is limited In
these the inverse images appear TO have been lost
the vertical image or the one corresponding 10 Tue
natural position of objects remaining IL appears,
also that the ink with which the images painted
is indebe, but know not to what degree of resist
ance.
