MExIco.--Advices from Matamoras report
considerable excitement on the Mexican from
tier over report that General Ord, military
commander in Texas, has ordered the con
ceniration Of considerable force Of U. s.
troops opposite Nueva Laredo, Mexico. As
the frontier is Remarkably quiet Just now,
this action-taken IN connection with the fact
that the U. S. troops have recently crossed
into Mexico, and the further fact Of the pre-
sence of Escobeo, the chief military partisan
Of Lerdo, at 0rd's headquarters-is regarded
in Matamoras as menace against the Dia7
Government, (which, if persisted in, is likely
to lead to serious complications, IL not open
hostilities between the United States and
Mexico" Within a few days past severn
Mexican officers have been arrested on the
frontier for plotting for Lerdo's restoration
and documents have been found on then
compromising others.

Az ARTICLE OF EXPORT. The German

more considerable quantities Of sassafras root.
For the past year there has been more than
40 tons Of it shipped. 1t is used largely for
medicinal purposes abroad, and enters, to a
considerable extent, into the prescriptions Of
German physicians when treating febrile pa.
tents. It is said of it that il is much more
used there than in this country, and that it is
also regarded as very eflicacious as remedy
for certain blood complaints.

service in the Cuban army, says the patriots
are confident of success, although they have
only $4,000 men under arms to oppose 80, 200

OF arms is the great drawback. During the
