A Remarkable Stoky.—The Presbyterian a religious paper, published somewhere at the north, tells the following extraordinary story: A young men in the township of Warsaw, Gene see county, N Y., was engaged in cutting wood; and in felling a tree it became en’angied in the branches of other trees. While endeavoring to dis entangle the tree and bring it to the gr<>u d, it sud denly fell and splitting a' the butt, he was caught by the foot, at.d thu<* suspended with his head down ward. In this condition he cried fur help, until bis voice was gone and his strength well nigh exhausted. His axe bad fallen, and he could barely touch the end of the helve with his finger He labored to reach it. but ii was all in vain. Could he but get t' at, he could extricate himself. But, alas !it was beyond his reach What was he to do? He had cried for help until he could no longer rpvak. He was in the woods. three-qu irters of a mile from any human be ing. The we tlier was extr< mely cold, and he was banging with his he id downward, suffering extreme pain, n-K only in i'<e font which was caught in the cleft of t c tree, but also in the head, caused by his unnatural pueitioa and the great exertion he had put forth to be heard. Death now t-eeuied inevitable, unless he could be immediately extricated. There was no alternative. Summoning all his courage, thereb re, he camstothe determination to make the attempt to cut off his leg; and should he succeed in doing this, there was but a faint hope that be would ■ S' Dinu tofrtne m-rnjod timb. It sertned rarr- ti.in probable, therefore, that be would bleed to death Hu* what h ill a man not do to save hit lite ? He bad in his pocket an old dull knife. With thia, he cut <-ff the 'eg.< of his boot and stocking, and then un jointed hie own aikle. Tais being done, he crawl*! to his dinner baske», and I hiding up'he slump with a no| km which bad covered h ; a dinne., he Parted upon hands and knees through the snow for home. When be arrived with in a lew rods of his house he was discovered by • >me friends, who hastened to his relief. His strength was now exhausted. Help had come and be fainted. He was borne to the house and re surcitated. .Vow comes the curious facts: and 1 will here say that the getiiL-man whu related tlie facts to me was present and wont lor the surgeon. “Go,” said the wounded man. ‘go iinnu diately io the woods and cu’ out my foot, for it is suffering most excruciating pain.” Tt.ey did ao, and brought the fuo> to the bouse.

The subject was extremely well and clearly reated, and gave evident sutiefictiuti to an at tentive and intelligent audience. And there ran be no doubt, but that, independently of the i interest which the subject ii*e f creates in all , inquiring minds, the fact of the lecturer having j been for a long time a resident in 'hat singtriar land, and consequently we! acquainted witn iis ' archeological remains—while he is intimate ’ and has been a fellow-explorer of its womlers, with some of the eminent men wh > have made lhe subject their own—ha* tended not a iiule to increase ’he curiosity which must be felt in the •‘revelations.” We have already remarked, in a short notice we took of bis Panorama of the Nile, that no subject could be more instructive or entertain ing We will venture to say even more. We will a-sert, confidently, that one whioii touches eo nearly, and has so much r* la ion to the his torical portion of the Bible, demands, ifi* dees nnt command, the attenl.on of all rell c ing minds For whatever can throw an addition J light upon any of i s interesting details—what ever can increase the amount and correctness of our knowledge therein —whatever can elu cidate doubtful points, or exp'ain errone us in‘erprenitmn«», is so much gained to the cause <> rel gio. ,aid so much taken frun supers i tion. The m ud, too, is improved, and its comp’e hetisiun of rigrr th cg-» enlarged by all increase of knowledge of e > important a nature The tendency of lhe human mind at the pre sent day is. more decidedly than ever, towards ascertaining the Truth not for the purpose of weakening points of faun, as—from a greater confidence in religion, derived from a more en lightened comprehension of its unalterable and exalting character—to increase its infiuence, by enlarging the base of factsand common sense on which it inns’ stand. Besides, the nrre the mind is enlightened by , facts in eonfirtnaion of truth, lhe more it is released from iho demoral zing influences of belief, real or pretended, in things not com prehended or absolutely inexact Such credit given to falsehood under lhe g rise ol religion, I blind® and dulls the Hensen to a right apprecia tion of ihe higher order of religious sentiment, i cramps the mind, limits the judgment leads by I easy steps to a preference for things fake end < mysterious, and thus owering and debasing the i moral feelings which cannot be too high or t o eleva’ed, gives birth to. and goes hand in hand l with »ha' intolerant spirit which for so many centuries has filled the world with fanatics, hy- i pocrtles and aisassins- We therefore hail with p*ea«ure every fresh revelation resulting from th*, researches of the lovers ot truth, of every order, a® an additional i pile driven into the earth to support the greit edifice of religion | The providential preservation of the monu- i incuts of Egypt is in its way. a miracle, des i lined to remove much of the stumbling-block I of error originating in ignorance and imsiuter- i pretation, and maintained by habit or supersti I tion. Religion can never bo shaken by the dncov enes of the learned, or by the progress of sci etice. To suppose so, is io suppose a contra diction and un impo-aibdi'.y—it is to conluav toge her in tbs mind supe'Slition, or the fail: in falsehoods or foolish practices, w th rchgiou, or the faith in truth. As well might men nlk of arguing away a limb, or ridding them-elres of a portion of their brains, as of roobng out or dua’royitig toe sen iment of religion ’ The worst that has bef.llen a mvn. has been (o be come, or pre end to be a doub er upon a I «uch mat ors. through indignation at having bet n led to give b : m 1 credence to things false And how many of these has nor political reli gion—enforced by law lor the benefit of a class —creatmi?

The leading subject of Sir Glidden’s fr-t lecture, was Egypt’s place in ike icorid's k story at the pre-ent time T'o make ’ .is po nt mure intel g.ble, he began by placing before iiis hear rs. first, facts connected by I e anuq tity of MSS handed down to us in different lan guages; and sucoudly, by showing al what pe tied the history of va lous ancient nations loses itself in fab’e. We have not sutlicientiy examined the subject to express an opinion as to lie value of thu proofs tie adduces to bus ta*n his allegations, lie says of MSS there is not a copy of Hebrew Scripitire older than the II th century of our era; or Greek versions dating faitber back than the 4 h or sih ceiHu nes. These ar t but copies of older documents Now, wo have mul uu >8 of papyri dating as far back hs the 14 h 1”> h. and 16 h centorus Chrn*t And Mr. G iddon, pointing to a mummy which lav near h m s’ated that one of these curious MSS . 2 751 years old, was loti rd wrapt up with that body. There is mis difference between many ol the ancient copus of ctipus if copies so io speak, handed down by living men as compared with those preserved tn the tombs of the Egvotians, that die formerbave been very fr* -quently mu i’ated to suit the views of sects and the pR-judi-es of men, while the latter have remained undis turbed, telling their own tale in ail their origi nal simplicity. Turning to history, and the archmologHd re mains elucidating «t, he showed that nothing existed to carry us fur’her back, tn that of Laly, ilhii 754 before Christ. Os Greece, everything is fable earlier than the first Olym piad, B C. 776 The era of Homer, about 900, is disputed. I’bajniria. Carthage. Lyria, Asia Minor, Arabia, and Judea, have no stiict chronological data before Solomon’s reign, B. C. I.UUO. And nothing is tn >re uncertain or contradictory than the period assigned to the Exodus from Egypt and the place ol Abraham, by the majority of modern authori ties. Chaldean history, Mr. Giiddoa seems dis posed to treat in an eq ial'y summary manner; and ’he evidences derived from he researches of Lay ard and Botta support more rauderre chronological computation than the learned world anticipated. Major Rawlenson. how ever. admit* a data which is snliisiently re mote—l 300 BC ahhongh it wdl not stand bv the side of ihe Egyptian data. Persian history is lost in Mahometan b-ir harity ; aud li’tle or nothing can be traced be yond Cyrus. 528 years. B. C. Major Haw kinson is disposed (o give that great conqueror the credit o! inventing a’phabetiral writing. The invention, if »•’ it may be called, had its origin a; pirently about h s time. We now c >tue to H.ndoostan. a country in which more ex:en*ive forgeries, in the ciuse of the ‘ faith in falsehoods.” have been perpe trated than perhaps in any other country. The Hindoos altogether put into the shade the in genious inventions of some of our European worthies of the good old time; who, to tn crease the fidelity to ttifi lehty thought it no great harm to interpret truths by inia.'epresen ung tnetn, or add to their interest by drawing largely on their own imaginations. We are not ready, however, to receive without very great reserve the dates g ven Nor are we verv ready to admit that all these documents are forgeries or copies Iroin. or imitations ot, the Books of M ises. Hindoostan is one ot ihe most anciently civilized cour.tr es of tho earth, and stands too near to Chius and Egypt use I. to have been much, if at all, behind them in knowledge and civii.zuon. It would be as wrong to call tn question ihe truths which, in the ages ol Christianity, were so ot'ten perverted by ticlious. as t' suppose the Vedas bad not a foundation in truths preceding them, and perhaps essentially limuoo That rich country, like Italy, has been al all ti nes tne piey of conquerors, who. with true Mthome dan spirv, destroyed al he early re ords or monuments of former greatness, they could hy their hands up< n Os China, the proofs are to strong, and chr< nolog.c«l data so well preserved, that rs history may be distinctly trared back to 3 4t>B years before Christ, or 5.135 year* ago t’u like the Hindoos, they hid not suiTered from invasion so ’requenth. and their records have therefore teen better preserved The oldest of th*m can be traced to me 18th century be fore Christ. Chtna and Egypt are therefore the onlr two na ions, w h*ch can date back with certainty lor at leist 4 5.0 years. Chinese history ceases o be dear about 2,637 B <'*. Egyptian monumental history begins 35<M) B C. a-cending beyond the tin e of Abraham some ISOJ years.

From the Richmond The Negro Race* In the able and learned lectures of Mr. Glid- | don, our at en ion was particularly excueu by his accounts of the antiquities in the Egyptian Province of Meroe; because those antiquities consulate ihe most striking illustration Gt Negro Civilization which history and archaeoh gy can produce.

They bu I: temples and excavated tombs; they erected obe isks; they cover u , them with inscr.puoii* iu their hieroglyphic al phabet, and the inscriptions and sculptures ; which date wi n me first generations ot this j colony, ara found to be as perf c: as those of I tr.e Lower Nile. But ihe colony was cut off . i irum tr.e body of die nation by intervening deserts and fierce nomads. Tne number ol Q I emigrants was never increased from the old “ ’ race.

The inscriptioug aru j portraits of I the original emigrants as before said, are equal ; to those of lhe Old Empire. But in those of th» ir 1U datto children, there is a great differ ence.

Circumstances would never have kept down any race for 1.-e thousand years, which were capable of rising into civilisation. All lhe wniie races, have been iu tune barbarians ; but ail its branches have in tune left it and attained their natural grade of civilization.

But there, we never he sr of them save nscanuibil savages No such thing as a negro government has ever existed in Africa. H-tty Kingdoms have and do exist there —some with so called ciiies like Timbuctoo. But the bare breeched rulers in all these kingdoms are Muofs or Fellahs—a branch of lhe Arab fami ly ; and ihe people of Timbuctoo are Arabs and Fellahs The Republic of Liberia can scarcely be called an exception, since it is wa.ched and guided by the Coionixauon 8< c e ty euppoitui on all sides bv England and by other g'lvernmen s, is re-infurced every year from ino United States, and is governed by mulatioes Even with all ibis assistance i. w evidently fa.

The modern Mahomet dead, I lamism may, as of old, break into two ad verse sects, and have its Omar and its Ali of [8 i secession, both proclaiming “There is no God but Separation; and Calhoun is its prophet;” but utterly unable to agree what s rt of Sepa r ration, sole or manifold, singular or plural, the b M ihomet of South Carol na meant. For it 1 was lhe prophet’s won’, at last, to be a little J. obscure and ambiguous.

Now, this was over hasty : a boy should not say his lesson before be has looked into his book.

Tne citizens of that small me tropolis had, it appears, determined to have a funeial encomium on Mr. Calhoun pro nrurced before them; and for this purpose had chosen Gen. II- as the orator. His pre sent letter is an apo ogy for his not having peiformed the duty thus assigned him After slating various impedimen s which had exist ed, he proceeded as follows: ‘ But 1 must confess lo you that I was con strained by another consideration, if I had addressed you, as it was anticipated, in di« cussing (he principles and opinions of Mr. Calhoun as illustrative of bit public life, 1 should have felt myself bound to have com municated an important fact, that, up to the period ot his death, he never contemplate 1 the s partite and isolated acron of South Caroli na, even on an exigency so vehement and preening, in his opinion, as the admission of California, lie looked alone to the united and co-operative action of Virginia and a majority of the cotton States.

Hi* whole policy was founded on a friendly and pacific union of the South, for the pr iteciieo of the South.

Again he a.-Ktd him the same question, and again the seme reply was given. A secund offer wai now made ol two hundred dneats; and again tie villager walking around the chain al, re peated n.s question, adding, “Say wnat thou beiievest; I am about to lake thy life ” “That God is God, and Mahomed is the Prophet of God,” responded the criminal. Scarcely were the words uttered, when the pistol was’discharged. Tne muzzle had been placed at me smiii of the back, being the same spot where be bad shot the man for whom he was now about to die ; but the wretched crim inal, although mor-ally wounded, did not expire for some hours. A Dyiko Wife to hi« Husband The fol lowing most touching fragment of a Letter from a dying IFife to her Husband was found by him, »ome months after n»r death, between ne leaves of a religious volume, which she was very fond of perusing. The letter, whieb was literally dim with -ear-marks, was wr.tten long before the husband was aware that the grasp of a fatal disease had fastened upon the ovely form of his wife, who died al the eariy age of nineteen: “When this shall meet your eyes, dear sums daygwuea you are turning over 4fr. 3.3, I3SI the relics of iho past, pa-sed away o forever, and the old wffldstone will be keep |w ing its lonely watch over the lips you have so often pressed, and the sod will be growing 0 green that r-hall hide forever from you-sight t- the dust of one who has ho often nestled cio<B r . to your warm heart.

Swallowing a Pin.— Probably a Fatal Illu sion—An Interesting Case.—Under this head the Mobile Tribune gives ’he particulars of « very singular case now under treatment in that city by Dr. Williams, who says that it is noth in? more nor less than an illusion of the mind. These are the particulars: The patien’ is a lady who is somewhat ad vanced in years and positively asser.s that she has swallowed a pin end it has lodged crosswise in her throat. Under this belief sh? refuses to receive food o>- nourishment, saying that it is impossible fur her to swallow. Previ ous to the timt when she said she had swallow ed it, about ’hreo weeks ago, she was a woman of stout constitution and robust habit, but has now dwindled almost to a complete skeleton, and was yesterday lying without the power ' to speak. Her throat has several limes been examin ed, not only by Dr. Williams, bu other ptiysi cians, and they all agree in the opinion that there is no pin there. There is a complete absence of inflamation in he throat, externally and inter ally; as far as can be seen, and she does not complain <> f pain from the pressure ot lhe parts. For the first two days after this idea became fixed in her mind, she partook of her meals as usual, and since that lime has refused any nourishment whatever. There is ah sence of fever, and the pulse is slow and weak. After the doctor had told her repeatedly that there was no pin in her throat, fa mi that he could do nothing for her, she continued to vend for him. He’bought of a plan at list by which she might be cured of this strange fancy, So he takes with nim several surgical iiutru men's, providing himself with a rusty pin which he crooked for the purpose. He inser ted in her throat several times one or more of iheso instruments, having a hooked point and, at his last and greatest effort, pre’euding to draw out die very pin which had given her so much pain and trouble, and produced it in his hand. This sa isfied her. She knew it was then out, and thanked the doctor with lhe warmest expressions for the preservation of her life. In a few hours her imagination was again at work and she positively declares that there is another one there, and under that beliefshe is now prostrate from debility and unless this phantasm is in some way removed from her mind, she will probably die wiihin a few duvs. Machine f»r Making Envelopes.—The Worcester (Mass.) Spy gives the following account of a new self-feeding machine for mannf-cturing letter envelopes, invented by Dr ilawpiof that city : •’Af er the paper is cut from tho ream by the usual process common in all manufactories of envelopes, all that is required is to place it within the reach of ihe iron fingers of ihe mi chine, when it is taken up, sheet by sheet folded, ptsted .pressed so as to make the paste adhere more firmly, and not only de ivered in o a receptacle lor the purpose, but actually cuuhted i< tv packages of twenty five, needing do fur her care on the pirt of the machinery tender than to put a slip of paper round the package,and olaced them in baskets ready for the market. Three of these machines are now running, when turn off* thirty-six thousand en velopes a day O hers are being built, and wi I soon be in readiness, when the Doctor will be able to fill a contract which ho has made, to furnish ono hundred and twenty thousand envelopes a dav.” Kailroals in Massachusetts—An inter esting table is published in the 80.-ton Trans cript. compt’ed from the various official reports ma le to the Legislature in 1849. 1850 and 1851.

' News ot the Week. t From the N. O. Picayune, IRA ingt. Late from Texas* By the arrival of the steamship Galveston. Capt Place, we have Galveston dates to the 1 Bth in st. A remarkable hail storm took place at Gal veston on the sth, about 12 o’clock M The weather was warm the mercury at 68° fahren hei’, tho wind blowing, but not violently, from the north, and some showery looking clouds floating in the sky. Suddenly a shower of hail stones fell that in many instances split the shingles on the roofs, and in fifteen minutes breaking all the panes of glass on the north side of every building in the city. The stones 1 tawere of various sixes, the smallest being about the size of grapes, while others were as large as oranges. Very few were gathered until af ter the storm ceased, it being dangerous to wnture into the streets whilst they were fall ing Some of the atones were measured after tho storm, and when they were lessened bv melting, were ten inches in circumference. T hey fell only in the city. A thunder storm followed, during which the Star Hotel was struck by lightning and set on fire. It was ex tinguished without damage. A young clerk, in ’he building, was knocked down by the shock and rendered senseless. Ho recovered, however, without injury. The small pox is prevai’ing in Hous’on.

The Indians, in V« extern Texas, stiil con tinue their old business of stealing horses and murdering whenever they have au opportuni ty. Three Mexicans, names unknown, were killed at or near the crossing of the Aransas river, hy the same party of Indians who eap tared Mr. Hart’s son at Refugio, a fe w weeks age. On the 16th ult. they stole ten or eleven horses from Messrs. Jas. &. L. C. Watts and a Mr. Holt, twelve miles above Goliad. On the night of the 21st ult. they paid a visit to tbe farm of Mr. T. C. P. Lott, eight miles above Goliad, and stole several animals belonging to Mr Lott, Dr. Cameron and Judge Lea. Judge Ua and lady were on a visit to Mr. Lott’s at the lime, and as all the horses were stolen they were left afoot. One of tha Indians was seen near the house of Col. Lott after daylight in (he morning. The Indians were permitted to depart in peace wi’h their plunder, as they could not be followed immediately for want of horses to ride. Tho citizens of Dallas county are still en gaged in removing the raft from the Trinity river. They have already expended between $2,000 and $3,000. A large business is now doing on the Sabino river and at Sabine Paw. Tl e river has been greatly improved. The iron steamer Liberty brings cotton directly from it to another port Another steamer and two (schooners run in the trade. The Messrs.

The dates from Brownsville and Matamoros are to tho 2d inst. The steamer Yacht brings a pretty large amouui of specie every trip she makes from Brazos Santiago to Galveston. From Nicaragua. High- Handed British Inlrigues Americans jarced to leave ths country and Murdered. From Mr. J. Cavalry Hall, of Granada, Nicaragua, who came pa»senger in the steam er Mexico, we have obtained late and impor tant news to the sth inst, from Nicaragua and these-cailed Mosquito Kingdom. Mr. Hall has been a merchant in Granada, and gave his in formation in a clear and straight forward man ner, that leaves not a doubt of the truth of hia statements. A great change has come over the friendly feelings formerly entertained by the inhabi tants of Nicaragua and Mosquito towards lhe Americans. The Governor himself formerly acknowledged to Mr. Hall, that his country was certainly destined to become incorpora ted either wi h England or the United Stales, and that he and the Nicaraguans generally in finitely preferred the latter. Since the last trip of the Prometheus how ever, that is, within about six weeks, a feeling of hostility of so decided a character has sprang up against this country, that lhe Americans on the Isthmus, from Ilealejo to San Juan, have thought it best for their i .leresis and personal safety to leave. About eight hundred of them, who had established themselves in the towns and villages, and who confided in lhe friend ship and protection of the Nicaraguan Govern merit, have been so ill treated—lhe natives re fusing to buy from them or sell tham provis m«w—«l»st thav all broke uo their business ar rangements, many at tnucn low to camo down to San Juan and embarked for this port or Now York. The few American mer chants in San Juan (or Greytown) hate on hand provisions and other stock for sixtee , months, which they had made sure of selling, but are now forced to le; remain in the ware house® useless, rotting aud ruinous. Tho main spring of this sudden revulsion of feeling lies in the continual intrigues of the Consul at Ban Juan and his colleague. Foster, al Kealejo The latter is materially assisted by a certain mysterious Count Deza'do, a sort of Frenchified Spaniard who is known to be energetically forwarding British pretensions and intorests on the Isihmus, whilst he pretends to remain neutral; and also by a Mr. Manning a wealthy and influential English merchant in Realejo The latter is a heavy creditor ol the Nicaraguan Government, and exercises great influence in all its movements. Ho and his fellows have at la*l succeeded in strongly prejudicing the Nicaraguan authorities and citizens against the Americans. The best proof of this sudden and decided hostility is the fact that fi teen of our country men have been mudered wi hin the las twenty five days:, on the road from Realejo, on the Pacific across to San Juan, where they for merly travelled without fear ofharm or danger and ever which they were making iheir way ns rapiaiy as possible out of the country *o return home. Our informant did not remember the names of all these unfor unales; he however cited those of two, one of whom was killed and the other was left tor dead in the road. The firs was Mr. A. C Maynard, from the western part of New York where he leaves a family. He was travelling to San Juan, carrying with him several thousand ullars. On the morn ing of the sth of March, between 8 and 9 o’clock, he was attacked bv an ambushed par ty a league thia side of Maleries, (a small town between Leon ana Granada.) and literally cut iu two with blows from machetas His body was found in the road in this mangled and mu tdated alate. The money was stolen. In the other instance, Daniel M Mooney, of St. Louis, was a tacked in a similar manner on ihe same road. He was left tor dead, with bis head dreadfully cut in several places. He regained hi# consciousness, however, and reached San Juan, bringing the news of May nard’s murder. In these, as in the other cases, redress was sought tor from the authorities, but they every where turned a cold shoulder to their peti fjoners, and answered thoir just demands with pretex a too gross to deceive the most iguo rant. Our informant gives some particulars of the hypocri’ical manner in w .ich the English real ly govern San Juan and the Motquito territo ry whilst pretending to be under the dominion of a trumpery king, An Etig'ish stripping, about twenty or twenty od° tain of the port of San Juan. He is also one of the Supreme Judges of the Mut>qiiito kingdom, the English consul sitting with him on the bench wish two native Nicaraguans not naiive Mue-qui os, as associates, The fines they iidlici are charged and collected in pounds, shillings and pence, the currency of the coun try never being heard of. They take posses sion of the paper® of all vessels entering the port, keep them during detention there and return them at departure, though San Juan, they assert, is a free port They have six strapping Jamaica negroes, dressed in blue a d armed with clubs, acting as policemen. The pour Mo»quitu king has gone up the coast aud will be absent fora year, leaving these sham subjects of his to manage things their own vay. The English Consul will only receive such communications as are addressed to him at “Greytown, Mos quito, to her Britannic Maj sty’s Acu g and Consul General,” not in the least recognizing ban Juan da Nicaiagua as the name of the place. Mr Hall corrects the statement we made yesterday, in announcing the arrival of the Mexico, tba/ the Briush naval forces had been withdrawn from ban Juan. The day the Mexico went into that port, a British war s earner also entered, for the purpose us re iieving the war schooner Bermuda p is certain y time that our Government should take decisive steps, if not to put down - tnese absurd, protectorate claims of England iu Nicaragua, at least to protect the lives and property us our citizens there. We should have a consul—an energetic, determined man i —in the country ; whilst the frequent visits to San Juan ot an American ves.-el oi war wouid lend materially to restrain British mach mauona and Nicaraguan aggressions.—-Pte. 11.

Picayune • Ih« Soesrro Affair. “ Asotber awo divvbbbbt satbbbbt la this paper, on the 86th and 28th alt., wepab lished accounts of B truly tragical B ff s j r j ß|b< hanging of certain individual, for acta of via. i lence and bloodshed at Socorro, in El Paso t county, Texas. Wo received these aceounta from a source altogether reliable, and it is true ' that the acts of lawlessness and murder as 9 reported, were committed ; but we have con versed with gentlemen who were in Socorro 1 at the time, whose version of the whole affair * and circumstances connected with it, give it a ' somewhat different phase ; and being desir ’ ous that the matter should appear in a fait and ’ impartial light before the public, we shall here 1 give the statement subsequently received by ' us. 1 We are informed that the “ bands of armed ruffians,” as they were styled in our previous accounts, were, many of them, the teamsters aud other subordinate employees of the Boun dary Commission, who had been discharged at Socorro, by the Quartermaster, Mr. James ' Myer, three thousand miles from their homes, without money, provisions or employment. It is admitted that many acts of violence and outrage were committed, as complained of; but it is told us that these things were done by frontier desperadoes, who had been a long time in the country, and in no way connected with the Commission. On the night of the 28th of January, the man Alex ander Young, who never had been connected with or attached to the Commission, murder ed, without cause or provocation, an old aud inoffensive man named Wood, at a fandango. [This man Young, it may be well enough to stare, was well known tn ‘.wo of the editors , He was considered - nr.-, .. B _. untrustworthy character s a sort of hanger on about the camps of our army ; pretending at times to act as servant or guide ; but always looked upon by those who know him as a de signing, unprincipled fellow and daring plun derer. He co doubt mat with his deserts whoa be was hung.] In regard to this case, we are bow informed that there was no indignation felt er manifest ed by those persons who afterwards took so active aud interested a part in the capture, trial and execution of the men who wore hung ; but that on the contrary, Yeung, du ring the whole of the next day after the killing of the old man Wood, was at large in the streets of Socorre, and frequently in compa ny with his subsequent executioners. Respecting the assassination of the unfortu nate Edward C. Ciark, we are told that, not withstanding the murder of rhe night before —that of Wood—Clark gave a fandango at a bouse, rented by him for the purpose, at which these " desperadoes ’’—Young includ ed—were admitted. During the Bight seme disturbance and noise arose at the mom. ta ble. in adjoining apartment., which Clark, as was hl.duty, endeavored to suppress ; and in attempting to preserve order be was wantonly attacked by Young with hie bowie-knife, from which be received some eleven wound., eab cequen.ly causing hi. death. When Young made this unprovoked assault on C lark a gene ral row took place. We are further informed, that the aeeonnt of tho maltreatment of the whole party of men and women on this occasion—placing senti nels at lhe doors, brine pistols at the candles, and otherwise terrifying lhe women,dte.—all took its origin in the “ frightened vision ”.f our informant, “Philo Justice." Besides the murder of Clarke, Charles Gates also re ceived a wound from a pistol shot, in attempt ing to rescue Clark. On tl>e 30 h January, we are also farther in formed, there was great excitement among the members of tbe Commission stationed at Socorro. An express was sent off to San Elezario for assistance from the United States troops at that place In the meantime, certain members of the Commission at Soeorro met and held a consultation, in which they unani mously agreed that this band of •• armed ruf fians ’’ should at once be arrested and hung. They set to work immediately, when Marcus Butler and William Craig were found at their own quar ers and arrested without resistance. A Mr. B.rtele, the acting Mexican alcalde, (not lhe Chief Justice,) was called upon to organize a court; but he not understanding the English language, this was effected by an individual attached to tbe Commission, who, in lhe various capacities of Judge, interpreter, clerk and witness, summoned ajury composed of six Americans and six Mexicans—th. six Americans being of the number of the Com mission, who were present that morning at the consultation, and who had expressed opin ions The "court” assembled, armed with r Iles, six-shooters and double barrel gons. Butler and Craig were put upon their trial. John Wade, a witness, was called to the bar, sworn and examined ; but not being able to answersatislactorily.be was told that be had “ sworn falsely, and must take hie seat with the prisoners.” The trial progressed, when the testimony againts Butler not being euffi c.ent to convict him, one of the jurors was A —l .... . ux'ona... «nH 'O.uhx.l that I * But , lor had told him, on lhe way up to El Paso, that he, Buller, had hung two Mexicans near ! San A'touio, for stealing horses ” Tho trial was not closed until next day, 31st January, _C... .l . .. I— 1 4 -I _ when, after the testimony was concluded, the jury retired to make up a verdict. Being ab- M*nt, however, longer than was deemed neces sary, one of the “ court ” entered the room w here the jurors were delibera’inj, and in a kw moments returned with the jury, and an nounced that “nine of the jury had found all three us the prisoners guilty, while the throe other members dissented ; but that a majority must rule.” Immediately on the rendering of this verdict, (bat before which the ropes were sent for and prepared,) the prisoners were marched out surrounded by an armed force, and hung; notwithstanding their protestations of inuucence and their solemn appeals fora just rial. McNevin was arrests i on the same evening of the execu ion; put into the “ s ucks,” and con fined in the same room where the dead bodies were placed all night. Next morning he was tried by tne same jury, who finding noth, mg to c< nneCt him, in the remo’es degree, with the transaction, sentenced him to take an oath to leave the county of E Paso within one hour, under the penally of being shot; and it was proclaimed that any person who should see him after that time should be at liberty to execu'e the sentence. Yon ng was arrested about tea days after wards; taken to Socorro, and tried and hung the same evening. [We have here given, a®briefly as possible, (omitting several severe remarks on the course of those individual who took it into their hands to arrest and punish these men ) another, or counter version of the terrible tragedies of bccorru. We have nothing more to say. The details are with the public.) 7 he Brazi'ian Slave Trude.— Private advices from Rio Janero say “The Government is periling its very existence iu its efforts to sup press the Slave Trade. The or.ce notorious slave steamer, the Serpente, now the Golfinhe, of the Brazilian navy, has made several cap tures. Last week she ca**ried off* 200 newly imported negroes from the island of Maram bai i. They are supposed to have belonged to Joaquim Breves, the well known and opulent slave dealer. This man is the owner of en large farendas, and the master of some 2,500 slaves. His large possessions give him great political influence, and the seizure of his slaves shows p'ainly the energy and determination of tht Government It is to be hoped, now that the Brazilian authorities have given such sub stantial proofs of their good faith and sincere determ nation t<> put an end to the traffic, that the officers of the cruisers will abstain from interfe ing, end confine their operations to the 1 high sea®.

Trees of all sizes were uprooted; fences carried en tirely away—some par’s of which will never be found—foddervtacks swept off* and some us it carried for miles, and even large pine logs which had lain until they were half buried in >he earth, were raised from their bsds and removed. The plantation of Mrs Haines, widow of the late Nathan Haines, near the Og* echee river, suffered severely Ou it every nsgro house was unroofed, poul ry. dogs. &c , were carried off and have not since been seen. Providentially bo lives were lost to far as we have learned, although many hair breadth escapes might be related. One young man, finding the house in which he was going to pieces, sprung from it and was whirled by the wind some distance into a peach tree; to this he clung for a moment when it was blown up ; losing his bold of this, be wa*< swept on into another to which he c'ung until the siorm had passed. It is impos sible <o estimate the damage s isla ned by those who have suffered most, but it is very heavy.” The Rain-—From all accounts the rain, lata night was a week was one of the heaviest and most extensive that has fallen fora number of ' years. Every where around, for huncreds of miles, it seems to have poured down its wrath in something like unbroken sheets, swelling rhe flooding and washing away the firms, and playing sad havoc with the mills, s bridges and sac oriee. We doubt whether, for J the duration of the storm, more water ever i fell on this city. For three or four hours the i elements were in a constant blaze, the thunder rolled in unceasing peels, and the rain deecend i ed as if it would drive things into the very i earth.

But it is all past now. n Our farmers have suffered immensely m every a -ection from whence we have beard. Our ). manufacturing friends have been seriously in j, -ured by breaks in their water works, jn g 'bort, the calamity has mure or less affected i- very body. Ins true that our river was not j. -o high by ten or twelve feet as it was in 1841, it vet the sudden n-e, giving little op- ii poriunny to save property exposed to a- teas, has occasioned an amount of damage hitherto unknown tn thia Motion ot the State.
