The Daily Dispatch: March 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], The reorganization of Mexico. (search)
hough nominally recognizing the central power, the forces of the Constitutional Government have really been raised, officered, and commanded, for the most part, by the several States. The proposed reorganization apparently contemplates the formation of a permanent Federal army proper. A new law, apportioning among the States contributions to the Federal Treasury, in compensation for the interior duties hereafter to be suppressed, had also been published. It goes into operation the 1st of March. The Ministry of Justice has also in special charge the reorganization of the Federal courts, and a law in reference to jurors in criminal trials had already been prepared and would soon be published. At the capital, it was reported that the Government had resolved to appeal directly to the people, not only for the choice by popular vote of a new City Council, but of all minor magistrates — a proposition which found great favor. "Elected by the people, " says the Siglo, "the tri

h is a commodious and very handsome structure, will be completed within a few weeks, so that henceforth there will be no lack of space or convenience for the demonstration of science, while the hospital accommodations will be inferior to none. A few days ago we were conducted, by a polite member of the medical profession, through the anatomical museum of the College, and though we claim no fondness for dissected humanity, gaunt specimens of which stood about there like forked radishes, with heads fantastically carved upon them, everything we saw excited our "special wonder." The models recently procured from Paris are superb evidences of scientific workmanship, and add vastly to the facilities of showing a young disciple how a man is made up by nature. The museum will probably be transferred to the new building as soon as the apartments are ready for occupation. The next annual course of lectures will commence on the 1st of October, and continue until the 1st of March ensuing.

The Daily Dispatch: March 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], Affairs at the Southern Capital. (search)
Affairs at the Southern Capital. A letter in the Columbus Sun, dated Montgomery, March 1, gives the following account of affairs at the capital of the Southern Confederacy: The Congress to-day did no business in open session. It is understood that the Permanent Constitution was under consideration. A vote on it will probably be taken on Tuesday or Wednesday next. As soon as the Permanent Constitution is adopted, a day will be set for the temporary adjournment of Congress, unless there be a commencement of war, in which case there will be no recess for some time to come. I was credibly informed to-day that Gov. Moore will, in a few days, tender one thousand men (officered, armed, and fully equipped,) to President Davis to be used in whatever service they may be needed. This is exclusive of the forces at Fort Morgan and Pensacola, numbering about 500 or 600 men. A large number of troops are being tendered to the Governor and President daily. If required, Alabama can

Most of the machines for the machine shops of the armory are ready for erection as soon as the building is ready to receive them — and that is nearly the case. Immediately on the conclusion of t

From Venezuela. --Files from Laguayra, Venezuela, are to March 14. General Paez arrived at that port on the 13th, on board the Joseph Maxwell, from Philadelphia, and was received with every mark of respect. A salute of thirteen guns was fired, and speeches delivered. M. de Toureil, French Charge d' Affair es in the absence of M. Mellinet, who is in Europe, died at Carracas on March 1. His funeral was attended by all the dignitaries of the Republic and the foreign representatives. The Canary Islanders were returning in considerable numbers from San Domingo, most of them in a very destitute condition. The greatest harmony prevails for the present between Spain and Venezuela. The affair at Valencia, which we noticed the other day, was simply an emeute by a battalion of Government troops stationed at that place, who took possession of the town during the night and liberated all the prisoners. During the next day they were attacked and dispersed, with a few killed and wounded.
