PRoaRKss OF THE MEXICAN REvoLU-
TIoN.-Advices from Mexico to the 10Th
instant, show that the revolution in that
country is making considerable pro-
gress. The insurgent General Trovino
had left Saitillo with 1890 men, to joiu
his confederate. General Martinez, who
is now with 1880 men at Charcas. and
intends to make an nttack on San Luis.
General Cespedes. OF Conhuila, is with
him. On the 7th, General Corellas,
commanding the Government cavalry,
moved to attack General Martinez'a
advance. He wns routed, and fed back
to San Luis with two-thirds Of his force
lost and ecattered. The towns of Ca.
bral, Moltahula, Oharcas and some
smaller places on the road are in posses.
sion Of the revolutionists. The rebel
General Donald Guerrero is within sup.
porting distance OF General Trevino,
with 200 men. It is calculated that
Trevino can concentrate 5000 revolu-
tionists to oppose any Government force
coming to the Northern frontier. Gene.
raj Diaz, with 5000 men, left Oaxaca
before the advance Of the Government
force under General Rocha. Felix Diaz
and Colonel Meyer, with only a small
infantry force, were left behind to de-
tend Oaxaca, and these only were de-
feated by the Government troops, who
were in overwhelming numbers. Gene
raj Escobedo has pronounced in Guiana
lata, with the former Governor OF that
Afnt0 IA
Diaz, and is in Guanaj jata, awaiting his
arrival. The State of Durango is unani
nous in favor of revolution, and there
are no Government troops in the State.
The State Of chihuahua announced it's
intention to observe neutrality. Ca
males. Governor OF Tamaulipas, will
join the rcvolutionists soon. Ali the
frontier leaders are determined to sup.
press the zona libre rs detrim ental to
the interests Of the cities outside thereof.
The BoAton Post concludes a sharp
but dignified criticism ',pon Senator
Summers OWL rights movement with
the following paragraph:
The colOrod man, the new-mnLe citi
zen. neither requires, nor in accordance
with this principle can he ask, that in
travelling for business or health or plea

nary comforts and amusements, or even
educational and religious privileges Of
social life, he shall be aided or protected
by special legislation, or by any provi-
slope OF lnw which are net common to
tho white man and to all citizens alike.
However contemptnonsly Mr.. Sumner
may treat such view of the case, and
however grandiloquently he may main
tain his position by glttering Renerali-
ties. universal platitudes and axiomatic
self-evident truths, it is undeniably true
and palpable to common sense and com.
