These resolutions were adupted with a how! of commendation only heard coming from such strong- lunged individuals, indicating that the sentiments expressed and demands made met their fullest ap- roval. The Chairman then, in a neat speech, intro- juced = Ira Davis, whose greatest recom- mendation was that he “worked sixteen hours @ day.” Mr. Davis was very forcible in his manner, and soon was en rapport with nis hearers, Hesald in substance:—Working- men, you from whose hands the weaith of society is produced, who make the gorgeous palaces all about Us, and embellish them with everything beautiful that wealth can command; you upon whose shoul- ders the community rest;\ but why do you not enjoy them?

Ail men were created equal, with inalienable rights; they had the right to breathe the air without—and here Mr, Davis became excited—-"the intevierence of damned rascal | who thinks he is the Lord himself,” Mr. Davis con- tinued in the same vein until he was tapped on the shoulder, reminding him nis time was up. ‘Mr. THEODORE H.

A mysterious and diabolical attempt to encom. pass the lives of a whole family by poisoning a well of water near White -Pluins, Westchester county, has awakened feelings of horror and indignation throughout that entire neigh. borhood. it seems that John Ackerman, a shoe- maker by trade, who lives with hisfamily, composed Of eight persons, not far from the cemetery in what is known as the “old village,” was attacked, about two weeks ago, with symptoms of an unaccountable type, accompanied by inflamed and swollon eyes.

The Forces of Juarez Again fu the + Ascendancy. Particulars About Bocha’s Victory Over the Reve- iutioniste—The Rebels, in Spite of Failures, Orry oF Mzxtoo, March 1, 187m, ‘The revolutionary movement against the sdminis- tration of President Juarez has, by tne inertia of ate leaders, given a blow to its own hopes and those of its sympathizers, When General Rocha left this capital about three weeks since, with @ force of 8,000 men, to go to the assistance of San Luis Potoad, then threatened by the rebels, nearly one-half of ‘Which force were levies from the streets of Mexioo, Donato Guerra, Pedro Martinez and Garcia de la Cadena were then before San Luis with a sufficient force to capture that capital and the. 2,000 troops therein, who were alarmed and considerably demor- alized by the imminent prospect of being defeated when attacked. Genoral Corelia was anxious, and was urging the government to send Rocha or somite. other commander with - forces to his aid. Had the repel leaders attacked Corellia, in San Luis, at any time during the frst tem days of February they would have made & success, and with the addition to their forces from the prise oners incorporated would have mado an easy prey of General Antilion, Governor of Guanajuato, and his troops, as Antillon was at that moment in parley ‘with the federal government here upon the question as to which slde of the civil struggle he would adopt; as General Leon, of San Luis, had rormeriy been. With the forces of Coreila’and Antillon i> corporated with the rebels (for in tnis country soldiers fignt on whichever side they are led) or either one of them, Rocha, on his approach to San Felipe, en route to San Luis, would in all human probability have succumbed to the enemy. as the latter would { have numbeced trom seven to ten thousand mea, | well armed and ‘fairly disciplined, while Rochas forces, numbering 3,000 men, nearly one-half ef Which were forced into service and torn away froma their familes, would have been quickly demorale ized and defeated. But the rebel idauers, evidently through marked incapacity, did not improve any of their opportunities, but, as it would appear, “sleps upon weir arms” in Saltillo, Durango, Zacatecas and Aguas Calientes, while the government troops were forming a junction, the result of which is the armies of Antillon, Rocha, Sanchez Ochoa and Corella have united, forming a total of nearly tem thousand men, while the rebels, numbering perhaps Sbout aix thousand men, are in & demoralizing Tetreat before this exulting government foroe, General Corena is also in the fleld against the rebels in the same neighborhood, occupying Guadalajara with about twenty-five hundred men, which city he bas fortifled for any emergency. THB REBELS ROUTED BY ROCHA. The latest telegraptic intormation possessed 1 your correspondent in regard to the military moves Inents is that tie rebel lorces were between Jucht- pus and Aguas-Calientes, hotly pursued by the come uned forces under Rocha, and that the- rebel was constantly ‘being overtaken, attacked routed or thrown inio great disorder, with the pros Dect of decisive battle being forced at an early mo- ment. Notwithstanding this apparently favorable situa. tlon of affairs for the government rebel sympa here profess to feel the utmost contidence in final defeat of Rocha and the ulumate triumpi the revolution, For the last ten days the rebel forces have been swinging around io a circle, with Rocha in pursuit, and carefully avoiding any general engagement.
