Remember also the tremendous drinking of Georgs S. Prentice and Sen. MsDougal. The latter gentlemen is said to have never willingly drawn a sober breath in twenty-five years. Pub lic opinion lias undergone a wegh ty change. These men would hard ly be lealers to-day.

Elpaso, Oct. 20, A telegram from she capitoi of Guatemala, received in this city yesterday morning, stating that seventeen revolutionary leaders liad been captured and shot by Eras. Kamilas, has given rise to some startling rumors hSre. One, which has gained currency, is that the revolution had been started in thmountainous districts of Gua temala, bordering on the stale of Chiapas, by Gen. Jdsrundia, and an exiled Guaiemalian, now resident m this city, and that lie had been furnish;: l arms and money for the 3 evolutionary scheme by Mexicans and parties in New v ork. It ap pears from tho most authentic sviirees that the revolutionists, though stilt fighting, have been worsted in every en murder with lire republican troops, and many of the leaders have been captured and i jot. With the batch of executions reported to-day, twenty-four lead er have so far been executed by ! the forcer, of Barillas. It is said hero that Gau. Barundia’s scheme successfully carried, lie would have | , made himself president of Guate , njalia, and would have formed Ids cabinet from exiles of the republic now living here. It is the g moral be lief that the revolution has mis carried in every particular, and that the scrub battles will soon come to a close, and Barillas will remain president of the republic. It is not known here whether or not the Mexican government is in possession ©f any information upon the subject, but it is believed thyt it has kept itself posted, from the fact that nearly all of (he fighting has been done in the neighborhood of its Chapter frontier, In’llie Woods. With the exception of the katy dids and tho throbbing lyres of vesper tree, crickets, or an occasion al load, the woods, however, are usually comparatively silent, at night. It is in tho wet low lands where we find the chief nocturnal activity. The midnight summer swamp or marshy pond is literally palpitating with a life unknown to sunlight; the rippling moon danc ing a filigree attendance among t he reads, and spec ting in wavy chase across the deeps peopled now with pouts and eels, which the daylight, angler would have sought in vain. The lizards' tails (Saururus) shake their drooping plumes with a trem or all inconsistent with the listless breeze. The pickerel weeds s'ir with submerged life, and the quiv ering tips ot the reeds betray the rude progress ef the,turtles toward the shore, as they sock the sandy banks to pile their nests of eggs. The placid ot the pond is vexed with multitudinous tickle, marked by the spjngling touch of the moonlight insect broods/ of flutter ing cadis Hies now making their first essay with their new found sit in wingj, emerging by 1 lie legion from their water baskets or crystal mosaic tubes, everywhere among the bodering shallows; while myri ad ep heme rie spread their pallid wings, and dance their midnight revels, making merry through Jarir shart, sunless day of life, which, perchance, ends with the dawn. Tho muskrat, or the ro’nk, leads a long, silent, glittering trail across the glassy water, or with a splash at tho brink, sets tho lily pads and spatter docks in gliding dance on the ripples, and starts upon their telltale chase across the pond a lined red gleaming circles at whose common center, though hid in ver durous gloom at tho bank, a ran dom rifle ball would surely win its sleek and dripping quarry, now crouched in muddy tracks, with luckless prey of frog or tadpole. What with the sprightly pipes of the hyla treetoads now celebrating: their nuptials in their native ele meat, and later the tremulous droid of the toads, and the tramp and splash ®1 the bullfrog, together with the rasping accompaniment of the cone head imps among tin sedges, tho midnight swamp will sing in our ears till morning.—[ YV.
