NEW YORK, April 27.-Special Mata-
moras advices from San Luis to the 18th
state all quiet there. Stage and telegraphic
communication are generally re-established.
The line TO Bio Grande from Mier is otcu-
pied by the government. Trevino's cavalry
are at Reynosa. Their slow movement
dishearteu the Revolutionists. Gen. Mera
writing on the 10Th from the State Of Du-
range confirms The temporary occupation
of Zacatecas by Cadena says, the garrison
were surprised, 1000 men, 1000 guns, IL
cannon and 100000 belonging to the gov
erDment captured. A telegram re-
ports nogoVernment forces near Saltillo and
also confirms the defeat of the Puebla gar
rison. a merchant arrived there from the
interior reports that Diaz has been heard
from in Jalisto at the head ola strong d.
vision. This is doubtful as TreVinO re-
ceived nothing official.
Manuel Marquese has routed Peequisein
in Sinola; Zertuch has beaten Moriscal va
Oaxaca. The entire peninsula of Yucatan
is in Instruction; only the larger cities are
occupied by the Juarez forces. The Gov
ernor and officials have fed to Vera Cruz.
He again calls on the citizens to abandon
those who burden the country, and not
submit to the caprice of despot exercising
authority illegally. Treyino's forces are so
much scattered for the purpose of subsist-
anee in a barren country, 1t is difficult to
estimate their numbers. The revolutions
Ty bulletin published at Boursilh says the
number is four thousand eight hundred In
fantry, cavalry twelve hundred, artillery
one thousand, with infantry supports. Ca
vallos has two thousand regulars with the
National Guard combined behind fortifca-
tiOns. His flank rests on the river, and his
rear is protected by the American comman-
der preserving neutrality.
A courier from Camargo brings advices to
the Path inst. Rocha has been called to the
city of Mexico, owing to the rising of Ler-
distas. Miro has moved hither with 5000
men. Navanija remains commanding at
Camargo.
MATAMORAs, April 27.-The revolution
lists are still Is or 20 miles distant, although
their sympathiSers predict an attack on this
city tomorrow with artillery, the non ar
rival of which, until to-day, delayed actual
investment.

A Dolly warden wedding.

About eight o'clock the other morning a
grey Kentucky jeans youth of short stature
presented himself in front of palatial es-
tablishment on Spruce street, and asked if
the parson was in. The grey-headed par
son soon appeared and the youth said, 'fSir,
l want you to marry me at the Chattanoo-
ga depot at P. NJ" The Reverend gentle
man informed MIN that he never married
runaway couples and wished to know the
facts aud on being assured that it was all
fair between him and Polly and her folks
and seeing the license, agreed TO do the
job. "What dye charger" said KY. 81
always leave that to the liberality of the
gentleman" responded the preacher. "I'll
pay yOu well, Sir, replied young Kentucky,
at the same time giving the preacher a sig
nifcant wink in which the preacher thought
he could see V and perhaps an X. So
they parted and time wore away.
A little before 8 p. NJ, carriage drove
up to the preachers, and he was informed
that ''a man at the depot wanted to see
him mighty bad" He drove there In a
twinkling and soon saw the aforesaid jeans
suit bobbing around from room to room,
and certain slime phrensy" in the eye of
the wearer, common on the approach of
such great events. He informed the par
son that SHIN and her had concluded to
marry up in town." and he was ready to
90 "thar." They went. In few minutes
the grey headed man who unites destinies
found himself in a small upper room; seat
ed around were dozen engineers and Jolly
railroad fellows, who, being in the same
house, smelt this matrimonial rat and were
resolved to see the fun. A lady or two sly
ly entered the room and took position, and
then young Kentucky, with tall comely
girl of seventeen, awkwardly hooked into
his arm, made their appearance. The rev.
erend man arose and gravely pronounced
the service and offered prayer and the
twain were one. (No cards.) The minis
ter walked forward and congratulated the
happy pair. They said not a word. The
boys Uttered. All sat down in silence.
After few seconds of thrilling suspense
the bridegroom elect arose and darted out
at the door as if to get long breath. In
second m re he thrust his head back and
beckoned to the clergyman who Immediately
obeyed the call. Out in the hall, the man
of Kentucky thrust bis hand down deep
into his jeans, saying, "Sir, | will now pay
your and handed the preacher piece Of
United States currency on which was
plainly printed, 25c.
