MArAMoRAs, MEXICO, May 5, via In
DIASoLA, TEXAS, May l5.-Juarez is re-
lieving all the Generals who are sup
porting his opponents. He has sent
General Oschoa to relieve General
Rocha, commanding the Third Division,
the headquarters Of which are at San
Luis Potosi. General Rocha is sup.
ported by Escobeda, and he refuses to
obey the order. The matter is still
pending. General Lopez, commanding
at Tampico,.. acting under instructions
from General Rocha, also refused to
he relieved The port Of Tampico
is closed. General Palace, who is
commanding at Matamoras, supports
General Rocha, and will act like Lopez
Juarez has directed General Cortina to
assume command here. He is now up
the river concentrating his troops 1t
is said that General Palacez will resist
and fight, and will follow the grand
pronunciaento of the Third Division.
1t is stated throug hout the northern
frontier that a conflict is expected be-
fore the election, on account of the
feeling towards Juarez on the border in
consequence Of his opposition to the
Seora Lobre question.
An order has been received here
directing an investigation for the defense
of the claims before the Commission.
One hundred armed Mexicans have
crossed the river at Los Cleroas, thirty.
five miles from Ringgold barracks, on
a cattle raid. Small armed bands are
constantly crossing for the same pur,
pose and extend their operations to near
Corpus Christi. They fight if they are
encountered. There is quite a panic
among the breeders OF stock between
the Rio Grande and the MUSES..
Thousands OF cattle are stolen every
month. The Mexican officials throw
every obstacle in the way of the recovery
Of the property. They have organized
vigilant committee to protect them
selves, but they are not strong enough
If no change takes place all ranches
will be necessarily abandoned and the
loss will be incalcuable.

John Lee, OF Alexandria, and Luther
Martin. OF Maryland in efforts to get
from these uncouth and unlettered
veniremen admissions which would die
qualify them. The first man called
was named Creole (there were three Of
this name summoned), and all manner
of questions were asked him. In re-
sponse to one, he said twas reported
in his neighberhood that Col. Burr was
too intimate with Mrs. Blannerhas-
sett. The Creeles went originally from
Prince William county, and were re-
jected, as were all the rest Of the
twelve, except Morrison, because they
had either made up or expressed an
opinion as to the guilt Of the accused.
Morrison was asked why il was that
everybody else in his neighborhood had
formed an opinion in regard to Colonel
Burrs alleged treason except himself, TO
which he replied, that one day he heard
one thing and the next day the reverse,
and not knowing which TO believe he
had formed no opinion. Finding he
could not be gotten rid OF by that pro-

BsSoHAMrroS, May l7.-Ruloff has
been much engaged during the afternoon
and evening writing. He appears
moderately cheerful, sleeps well and has
a good appetite. Clergymen and others
are visiting and couversing with him, At.
tempting to point his attention to the
serious step before him, but in vain,
He declines firmly to see clergymen or
converse on religion, considering his
own, theological knowledge, quite
sufficient. Mr.. Brecker, his counsel.
visited him this morning, but instead
Of the usual familiar greeting, was
saluted with round OF language Of the
most abusive and indecent character
from Ruloff Brecker, it is but just to
say, has done all in his power for the
prisoner. The Sheriff called on Ruloff
this evening and asked if he could serve
him in any manner after death; il he
had any definite desire as to the dispo-
sition OF his body. The prisoner
answered that they might do just as
they pleased with his body as he didn't
care what become OF il afterwards.
The scatfold has already been erected
and everything is in readiness for the
execution. A large influx Of strangers
has taken place during the last few days,
upwards of 10000 having arrived.
Rulofr authorizes the publication OF
card denying the authenticity Of the
volumes now selling, purporting TO be
his lie, and stating that all such works
are fraudulent and untrue.
