Marches and COuniermarches of The
Federal" and Liberal" Forces.
POrilrlo DIaz and His Lieutenant Pima
10 far the winners.
Camarg0 In the Hands OF Pima and n
Forced Loan Imminent

GALVESTON, March GA special
dispatch to the News from Browns.
vile brings intelligence that the revo.
lutionists under General Porlirio Diaz
are rapidly gaining strength, and
considerable CONSERVATION prevails
among the friends of the Government
IN the towns along the Mexican border.
Many families are seeking protection
on the american side of the river, and
Rio Grande City, Ednburg and
Brownsville are lllling up with refu-
gees. Matamoras IL considered the
objective point of the Diaz party,
which, although strongly fortified, has
nota garrison adequate to its defense
for a siege. Colonel Christie is in com.
mand of Matamoras. Colonel Panott,
who was ordered to move from Camar-
go to his assistance arrived on the 3D.,
having either accidentally missed or
aVaided an engagement with Pima,
commander of body of Insurgent
cavalry, to the expeditions of the Gov
eminent party, Pima, after taking Rey
no%a, aud having his force augmented
by about four hundred volunteers, re-
ceived orders from Diaz to advance
Immediately upon Carmargo, and it is
reported that he has reached Las Gu
loas, the noted den of the cattle
thieves and the point at which Me-
Nelly recently crossed into Mexico,
where his force will probably be again
increased Immediately on the re.
ceipt of the news Of Pina's movement, !
Colonel Parrot left Matamoras yester- |
day morning In pursuit of him and for
the protection Of Camargo. The Com
at Monterey had also dis !
patched troops to the same point as
also small patty of the mounted
police from NIier. Diaz remains quiet
at Brownsville, probably waiting until
the forces under Pima are sufficiently
strong to make the attempt on Mata-
moras.
LATER.-This morning Pima took
possession of Camargo,
and his next move will probably be to
ISSUE an order levying forced loan, as
his military chest needs replenishing.

A Warning.

The Radicals, we learn, will adopt q
mastery inactivity in the First Ward
until the night before the election over
there for Alderman, when they will
make nomination or endorse some
independent running.
The above is from the Houston Tele-
graph, and contains q warning that
the citizens of Dallas should not over
look. There are many candidates in
the field for the various offices to be
filled, most of whom are estimable
gentlemen and well qualified to dis
charge the duties to which they aspire.
But in view of the fact that the very
evil which the Telegraph refers to is
not only possible but probable here in
Dallas, The HERALD respectfully sug-
gests to the various candidates.ifitw would
not be well to stop aud ponder. Dallas
could lily afford, In her present pros
porous and progressive condition, to be
hampered by an incubus that would
seriously II not ruinously affect her
commercial and financial standing.

IFrom The ". Joseph Herald /

FROM the 81. Joseph HerNld,l
On Sunday while conductor Terrell
northern bound train, on the Kansas
City St Joseph and Council Bluffs Rail
road, was being made up near the Fran
els st depot, an accident happened to a
man who had formerly acted as brake
man for Mr. Robinson, the yard.master
OF this company when the latter was
employed as u conductor of the North
Missouri Railroad.
ltappears that he volunteered to as
sist the regular train men in making up
their train While in the act of replac-
ing the pin which holds the draw-hcad
in its place, the switch engine and five
cars backed up to the remaindcr OF the
train, which was composed Of thirty
two freight cars, and 10y some means
caught the young man between two
drawbacks. While he was in this posi-
ton the entire train was moved about
three feet, and Of course he was carried
with the ears, being unable to give any
alarm.
The impression any one would form
after hearing these facts would undoubt-
edly be that the man was crushed to
death, and when removed from his very
dangerous situation that he never
moved again; but the man must have
been copper-lined or made of India
rubber, for after the engine and five cars
We're started away from the main train
he calmly and very untoncernedly
walked back to the caboosc and told
Farrell that he thought such
n narrow ercape entitled him to free
ride to Council Bluffs.
The conductor was too much aston.
ished when he heard of the position the
man had been placed in, and too thank
full that he had escaped so proyidcntal-
ly to be able to refuse his request espe-
cially when he learned that the man
was dead broke and consequently he
allowed him to ride to Council Bluffs,
and on his arrival there took pains to
see that he wanted for nothing,
Mr.. Terrell, whom we saw last even
ing, informed us that, notwithstanding
the terrible pressure which had been
brought to bear on the mans stomach |
and back, he could discover no bruises,
md also, that on the arrival of his |
train at the Bluffs the injured man
walked about three blocks to a hotel at
which place German doctor examined |
him and prescribed for him, for of
course the man had, and still was, suffer
ng the most acute pain, and must have
possessed the will and determination Of
one of the Spartans, who we read taxed
heir powers of endurance in ancient
lines by subiecting themselves to or
leafs to horrible to think Of
