Rev. L. ID. Huston.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-The investigation
Of the charges against Rev. DR.. Huston
was resumed to-day by the Ecclesiastical
Committee after a weeks adjournment.
After assembling this morning, the Presid
ing Elder stated that the motion sub
mitted by the counsel for DR.. Huston pre-
yious to adjournment last week, to quash
all further proceedings and let the mat
ter go before the General Conference
for final adjudication on the ground that
the prosecutor had utterly failed to sustain
the case, had been considered and denied,
and that the investigation would proceed.
1t is said an offer was then made by Hus-
toms counsel to submit the case
as it now stoodS on the ground
of the vague and indefinite char
acter of the remaining charges. This
was declined by the prosecution, and the
investigation proceeded. 1t will probably
be concluded tomorrow or the following
day, and the decision of the committee
viii soon thereafter be given to the public.
The present investigation is mostly prelim-
mary to decide whether Huston shall be
formally tried by a judicial court.

The following comes from one OF the
most distinguished citizens Of the State.
It,shows that our Agricultural Editor is not
only engaged in a good work, but is doing
good work
To the Editor of the Union and American:
WINCHESTER, JUNE 8, 1S72.-Col. ]. B.
Killebrew addressed large auditory here
to-day upon the subjects of Agriculture and
Education. Both subjects were ably and
skillfully handled, and although the court
house was crowded and large portion Of
the audience were forced to stand, yet for
two hours he held their undivided atten
zion. It Is no more than justice to Col.
Killebrew TO say that there is no man in our
State who is his equal before the people
upon the all-absOrbing questions be is pre-
senting. Our people Were unit upon the
propriety Of adopting all available means 10
advance our agricultural interests, but
there was not a little opposition to the
scheme of common schools yet nOtwith-
standing the unpopularity of the question,
it was 50 logically and extensively dis
Ct SEED by Col. KillebFew that opposition
was disarIned.
Col. Kiliebrew is engaged In 8 noble
work, and, fortunately for the State, he
combines all the elements of success.
Learned without ostentation, eloquent
without any of the trickery of rhetoric, with
an all-abSorbing zeal in his mission, yet his
tact and Judgment are never at fault and,
most Of all, he has an abiding faith in the
success Of bis enterprise. AUDITOR.

PrestOI Change-Grand Rebel Fri.
umph.
New YORK, June A special from
Camargo of yesterday says after the fight
near Monterey, on the goth inst, Trevino
rallied all his forces and on the following
day attacked CorreldO in the suburbs ofthe
city and completely routed him. The dis
patches state that the government troops
lost every thing, their entire force being
killed, wounded and scattered. The cam
paign of two months preparation against
the NorthtYl frontier thus is ended. 1t is
supposed that TreviEe's retreat on the first
day was a ruse. The ReYolutionists are
eXhilarated and claim a new impetus for
their cause. Nothing is known of Trevino
since his victory, but it is anticipated he
will return to the borders. The troops here
are under orders to move at a moments
notice.
The By-pIay Of Cattle Stealing.
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, June 3.-The

sion to investigate the depredations is anx-
iously expected.
An9sher SOIasiOu OF the OOnHndrum.
MATAMoRAs, June 4.-Telegrams from
Carmargo, up to five o'clock this afternoon,
confirm the occupation of Monterey by the
Government forces. Gen. Othoa holes
that city while Corrella pursued Trevinc,
overtaking him, when sharp engagement
ensAed, ia which the Revolutionists sue
ceeded in throwing force between Corrello
and Monterey which rendered it necessary
for Correlo to Join the forces of Gen. Ce-
ballo at Meir, which place he reached yes
terday. In this movement the Govern
ment forces not only occupy
Monterey, but have actually q, ssed
the mountains reaching the frontier, show
ing that the revolutionists were not cuff
ciently strong to held any point on the
road. The Srevolutibnists are trying to
break the force of this disaster to their
cause by representing that Gen. Correlo was
defeated, which is not the fact, but on the
contrary, ubitad with Gen. Ceballo, whose
forces are now securing the country in pur-
suit of the depredatory bands of rebels.

TIE LATEST SwINpLE.-Certain sanclimo-
NOUS christians would fan persuade the
world that difiusive stmulants have no medic
inal value, aud that detestable Stops, COM
posed of gripping acids and drastic purgatives,
are better tonics than the finest vegetable in
gradients combined with the purest and mel
lowest products of the soil. But this sort of
thing won't go down. The stomach of our
common sense rejects it, as the physical
stomach of every man with an undepraved
palate rejects, with loathing and adherence,
the nauseous denominations, free from alco-
hol," which humbugs are trying to thrust
down the threats of temperance invalids I'M
der the pretense that the filth will do them
good. 1t is not likely that while Plantation
Bitters, the standard tonic of America, is
anywhere accessible, such sickening frauds
can make much Roadway, but it is well TO put
the public on their guard against them.
