MEXICO, Jan. 27.-At the close of my last
letter mentioned that the Governor Of Zacatecas had
seized small convoy of $1,000, and had telegraphed to
tho Federal that he had done and should
take the Federal funds in the state in order to raise
quickly 1000 with which to assist IN putting down
the rebellion IN San Luis PotosL The Government re-
piled immediately that the convoy ought TO be returned
once and that only 800 men were required rom Zaca
tecas 10 assist In restoring order in San Luis Poto Inc
result showed that the Governor Garcia de la Cadena
had been endeavorng to deceive the Federal Govern
nent and play double game. preparing meanwhile 10
pronounce whenever might suit hmito do So ana with
as many possible stolen from the AUTHORIZES
against whom he was about to revolt But when ne IT,
ceved the telegram above named and found that JuaIeI
could not be so easily deceived he together WIN inc
Legislature Of the state pronounced on the Sh hs' oe
ciaring illegal all the public measures since the Sth OF
November 1865 the day when Juarez Issued the decree
proongng Presidential terme Aecordng 10 the terms
of this pronunciamenO Don Jesus Gonzalez Ortega ought
10 occupy the Presidency but this gentleman does not
appear TO have come forward in Zacatecas and am In
formed that he in bad health and wholly ncapaetated
from taking active part in public affairs
The rebels in san Luis PoOsi had proclaimed that the
most prominent General Of the army should be the Pro
vsona President and in this essential point as In the
rest OF their pan they differed from their brethren In
Zacateca But they were in accord as to the necessity
OF overthrowing Juarez and would both fight for this
common object the prOnunciamento in Zacatecas reani-
mated the revOutonsts in San Luis Potosi Gen. Mari
ano Escobedo had been charged conduct the campaign
against the astnamed city, and made rapid journey to

marching against the same town from Tamaulipas, by
the road from Tnla. But the movement of Rocha was
too far advance Of that of EscObedO for he arrived
at PcotilloS, within IS leagues OF San Luis Potos,
on the 18th inst, while the forces OF Escobedo
concentrated 40 leagues the opposite side of that
city, at Dolores Hdalgo the 10th inst The revolted
Gems Martinez and Larrahaga took adyantageo Of this cir
cumstanco; they marched out Of San Luis with 500 men
and 10 cannon and the 14h inst they attacked Roeha
who took up good defensive position in the nights OF
CharQuO. The battle very severe and lasted from
10 TO p m but ROcha beat of his assaants, who
lost many men, four cannon, and some wagons. How

crippled and his state revealed to the enemy by
officer who deserted TO change sides Agurre the revo'
lutionary Governor of San Luis then reinforced Matinee
and Laranaga with every ghtngman that had remained
in the town. and these renewed the attack Rocha on
the 10th inst This general had been ordered maintain
days, but the 18th inst National Guards from
Rio Verde who constituted part Of his force found this
aud bloody too much for their eonsancy
and they passed the revoutiOnsts Rocha then
spiked his guns abandoned his wagons and with 200
800 the remainder of his best men, retreaed by noun
tain road in the direction of. Rio Verde.

Join the latter, and possibly have had share in
efecting the defeat Of ROcha. small pronunciamento
took place in Lagos but the 18TH inst the rebels
surprised and defeated by a force from Aguascaentes

Gen. EscobedO left Dolores HidalgO the goth inst
with some $500 men, and continued his advance TO the
Valley Of San Francisco 10 leagues on this side Of San
Luis Poos but thence he sent back his heavy artillery
and wagons to San Felipe in order to be free to effect
with celebrity a strategical movement which probably |
would he with the object Of engaging the 1900 from
Zacaecas their commander should be so ncautous
TO afford Escobedo such chance These the chief

But Gen. Don Ramon Corona ,cOmmanding 1.-THE Fourth |
Division OF the Federal Army, had his headquarters IN
