News reached Vera Cruz just previous to the ■ailing of the Ann Eliza, that forty seven Ameri •an citizens had been taken prisoners at Monlros )ii tiie California, by order of Government, and sent in chains to San Bias, in charge of Genera! ,\rrista, and twenty five Mexican troops. They ft-ere arrested on the charge of planning a revolu lioii. When they arrived at San Bias the Brit ish Consul had them instantly liberated, and de tained the General and his troops. The Mexi cans had become jealous of the Americans, and bence the outrage. We now learn positively that Carnpeachy is in possession of the Federalists. The town capitu lated on the 4th ult. and not on the 2d, as before stated. The government troops were daily ex pected from them at Vera Cruz, when the Ann Louisa sailed. — N. Y. Herald. i Ax Argument in Mississippi.— The New- I ark,N. J. relates the following from a friend, i kvho has recently visited Mississippi, and describes Ikhe Harrison enthusiasm there as exceeding all ■■bounds. 5 He was met at the door by a Loco Foco neigh ■llior and his reason for showing a disposition to I change demanded. “Why,” replied the honest i farmer, “let me tell you. In good old Jackson ■times I rqiigpd 20 bales o, cotton, sold them read- Bply got my money, paid all expenses, and had a ■ small balance left. Now under this Sub Trea sury, Van Buren concern, I raise 40 bales, and ■cannot find market for half the quantity at half I the price, and the money which I do get is not I worth half the face of it, so ihat I can neither pay ■ expenses nor lay up anything. The earth is ■fruitful and abundant, but the market is destroy ■jed.and in the place of the gold currency which B Denton and the Globe promised us years ago, we Rgetnothing but irredeemable bank rags. This is I my reason for change. The Administration has ■I cheated us by false promises,and I go for a change, II for any change must be better than this state of i| things.” I From the New Orleans flee. Important Decision in Illinois. —The su preme court of Illinois, lately in session at Spring field, have at length pronounced their decision in the so long and ably argued at the previous term of the court The case involved the right, under the const tution of the State, of an alien to vote. The court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court, which dei lared that an alien had not the right to vote. Illinois and Michigan are the only States in the Union by which this privilege has been accorded to citizens not naturalized. So I far as the first named State is concerned, this con struction of the constitution can no longer prevail. J his renders Illinois doubly sure for Harrison. In 1838, the State was carried by the Van Buren party ii. consequence of the voting of three thou sand aliens employed on the canals and other pub lic nineteen-twentieths of these men voted the ad ministration ticket. They will in future be ex cluded from this privilege. The New York Journal of Commerce publishes the following letter as being important to shippers of Cotton and underwriters: Extract of a letter dated j Liverpool, June sth, IS4O. Most of the vessels that have lately arrived have seriously damaged their cargo between decks, so much so that when the receivers cannot receive from the ship, they make a claim when practicable, I against the underwriter, who will not pay when they can avoid it; and moreover they have an nounced that they will not be liable for any losses or damage, by vessels that bring cotton on deck ,as they say that it will not only make the vessels 1 unseawoithy, but also cause extra straining, and I is the means of damaging the cargo. The opinion I is, that owners of vessels bringing deck loads, are liable, and will be held responsible for all damages I and losses. Mr. Van Buren contends, that negroes should j be allowed to vote and admitted as witnesses to swear away the character of officers of the navy, j and yet Mr. Van Buren, say the loco foco papers, is *a N'urlhem man with Southern principles ” 1 — Prentice. The Three Jolly Husbands.— The jolly i husbancs, out in the country, by the name Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and Bill Walker, sat late one evening drinking at a village tavern, until being pretty well corned, they agreed that each , ofie, on returning home, should do the first thing j that his wife told him, in default of which he should the next morning pay the bill. They then separated for the night, engaged to meet again the next morning, and give an honest account of their proceedings at home, so far a« they related to the bill. The next morning Walker and B.own were early at their posts; but it was some time before Watson made his appearance. Walker began first. “ sec when I entered my house the candle was out, and the fire gave but a glimmering of a light, I came near walking accidently into a pot of batter th .t the pancakes were to be made of this morning.—My wife who was d.eadfully out of humor at sitting up so long, said to me sarcasti cally,” * “ Dnqrit your feet in the baiter /” “ Just as you say Maggy,” said Land without the least hes itation I sot my foot into the pot of batter, and then went to bed.” Next Joe Brown told his story. “My wife had already retiree to rest in our usual sleep ing room, which adjoins the kitchen, and the door ot which was ajar, not being able to navi gate pcrfeclly well, you know, I made a dreadtul clattering among the household furniture, and my wife in no very pleasant tone bawled out, ‘Do break the porridge pot, Joe." No sooner said than done. I seized hold the bail of the pot, and striking against the chimney jam broke it in a hundred pieces. After this exploit I retired to rest and got a curtain lecture all night for my pains. It was now Tom Watson’s turn to give an ac count of himself, which be did with a very long face, as fo’lows: My wife gave me the most unlucky command in the world; for I was blundering up stairs in the dark, and she cried out, *"JJu break your * - o/- len neck , do Torn .-” “I’ll be cursed if I do, Kate,” said I, as I gathered myself up, “I’ll soon er pay the bill.” And so, landlord, here’s the cash fgr you. This is the last time I’ll e\er risk five dollars on the command of my wife. Doss! Doss!! Dors!!! —We find the fol lowing laughable remarks in the Philadelphia North American. If any body can read the sec ond paragraph without laughing they have a bet ter command of their nsibles than we pretend to have; Mad Dogs. —The ordinance against dogs run ning at large is now in force, and we trust will be vigorously executed. From some cause or other hydrophobia appears on the increase, at least there &ie more cases reported. Wo speak not now of or. re- Mr. the drunkard's hydrophobia, bad enough in all conscience, which rages as much during sleighing time as in the dog days; but of that awful—be cause incurable—calamity, canine madness. Dogs should not be permitted to go at large in cities at any season of the year. As companions two legged pupies are preferable, because they will not bite; and as visitors they are little else than portable nu'sances, for the conveyance of fleas and dirt. We love a dog in his proper sphere; ranging in the country, showing his wonderful powers of scent, and sagacity, and guarding his master’s property with untiring vigilance. There is-a re spectable dogmatism in our country dog, particu larly about tan yards, that we have a huge re spect for. In our younger days we once read that “if a dog should attack you, nothing need be done but to turn your back to him, stoop forward,and look between your legs at the assailant;” and that the fiercest cur on earth would slink back abashed. We tried the recipe once, and only escaped a bite by tumbling head over heels into a tan vat, on whose edge the first experi ment was tested. Decidedly, the inventor of that protection was a humbug. We have no respect however for your town curs, yelping, baying disturbers of sleep; howl ing occupants of back yards, where tied up by a short rope in a kennel, they scare sleep from a whole square; sneaking, mangy, interlopers in to small yards and alleys after swill buckets and offals; pest and calamities to a whole community for the bite of one of these, so small that you see it not till you kick it over in passing, may entail death. On all such we cry aloud and spare not. May the ‘ketchers’ thrive and multiply; and we hold him no good citizen who ihwaAs them in their duties. COMMERCIAL.

The wife knew of the Let, for it was to her I addressed myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not, told me they were moving from South Carolina to the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any kind friend could give me the clue to "their names, or the place to which they were travelling, so that I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for his own interest.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled ■nine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom Punstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ [ am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as a stock as any horse in the United States.— Be was a race horse of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, >wing to his leg; it was injured when a three year >ld, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Ckyer,. Gallatin, Tennessee, you can get a full nedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Maiy :ombined as many or more rich crosses of thorough ireds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee.— >he was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of mported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Vrchie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported iorse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest mportations of the last century;) great grand-dam >y the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand lam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great jreat-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar er race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great ;reat-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; ;reat-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s dd Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou :ey.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary o trace beyond Sir Archie.
