A roan*. Ist July, 18.12. “Mr Dk.vu Km Your letter of tlic 241 h nit. has lt tcn received, and hut for s sense of courtesy due I to you, I should be tempted to ask you to excuse tna, for tho simple reason that i have no fancy for JillinTacolumii in uu«wsi>a|icr. I think it proba ble eomnnratively few dill agree with me in (.pin- | ion. hut I give it’to you for wliak it is worth. Witlxa etrongcr ,’h sire than ever before toad- | here to the National Whig-party, and give to their : it marines my feeble support, I nave been unable t to bring my mind to tlic conclusion that I ought to i vte fur Oen’l Keott. My objections have no rclt tir-n whatever to the Southern question. Satisfied 1 with tho platform of the party, and with his ' prompt, unqualified adhesion to it, I feci profound i regret th t other difficulties ititerpoM between me ' aud the ballot-box. I» it enough that a candidate j for tho Presidency i* an honorable man, an intelli- ! gsnt and accomplished gchtloWun, a successful general, and that he subscribe* the Whig cited 1 , If Geii’l Scott can lay claim to other qualifications than these, they are not known to the mass of the I people. There' are Hundreds of thousand* of American citizens having, in an equal degree, these ; qualifications, except only that of which the sword ! und the epaulette arc the symbols; the absence of , which, iu my poor judgment, operates no dis- j jnragement Oat there are other qualifications, , by no means so common, which ought to be con- . sidered indispcuaablo, and whieb, without enume- ; ration, will presenttliemselvcs to every refecting mind. We are not only without evidence that General Scott has those, but there is good reason to believe that he has very decided disqualifica tion*. Will it be denied that ho ha* a hasty, ar bitri-y temper -an imperious self-will, impatient of all opposition—overweening confidence in his own judgment, aud inordinate ambition f Will iU*e pr'tended that he ha* a dear, calm, well ; feilane'd mind, whose equilibrium cannot be easily j disturbed! If not. 1* it wise, is it safe, to place such a man, accustomed, throughout a long and ! active life, to despotic military rule, at the head of j a Republican Government I lam constrained Ui ’ believe that he, as well as hi* opponent, has I* on I aclectod solely with reference to atailahitUy, eon- j sisting of milltery eclat, and auch freedom from political reproach a- results from little or no ern- ; plovrnent in t!io civil service of the country. Let ‘ t hose who think more favorably of the nominee, ; or who are willing to take the responsibility of j voting for him bap-haurd, do to. I will not. , < I should b.- very sorry, nevertheless, to soe the i fVinstltutional Union party c» mane vote for the i Dorr .critic nominee. Certain event* which fol- | , lowed tlie April convention of that party were well j . calmin',d to impair its stability and 'efficiency :i i and therefore to excite both regret andappreheu- i sion, wliile tiip.ro remained in prospect a probable ■ necessity for its continued, distinct organization, j. Rut now that both the national |>arties have fully , re ,nf * I and adopted the platform of that party , | 1 think it would he not only consistent with it* , past course, hut promotive or the end of its forma- ; , tion, to dissolve it. That end is expressed in u I few words : “aepiieteone* in l/t* compromise meat- j , vr**—faithful retention of the fugitive elart law j , met it ton from the elaverj 'agUatio/t," The coalition j , of the Constitutional Union party with either of I, the national parties, would involve a condemns- ! | tion of tlie other, having reference to tlie end j ( strove stated ; and tiiat too, in The teeth of a re- j i cent pledge of e, (-operation in its promotion. This 1 t would be not only inconsistent with the position of t tlie Union party,"but in the last degree prejudicial , to Southern interests. Under existing cironmstan- , ees. I would notr.sk my Democratic Union friends to abandon their former allies, nor urn lat all dia- , posed to separate from mine.. There is no reason t to snppo • that they have conceived b new attach- j mont to tbo Whig party, and upon the closest ■ self-examination, I do not perceive that lam at ( uli Democratized. 1 sec no reason why we should , not now separate iu entire good feeling, having J learned,during onr brief association, the impor- j ] taut lesson of mutual respect and toleration, and j j ready at nil times, hereafter, to reorganize for the t defence of our .State Institutions or of our Federal j j Union, whenever and howovorim,K>rilled. I cannot perceive upon w hat Union Whigs can , predicate a preference for the Democratic over the | Whig nominee. Roth are objectionable. Both ( jiarties have required us, (tho pooplo) to take too t iitncli upon tru-t have ],resumed too far upon P our aupp .o il inline idolatry of military men, their titles and their triumphs. If such things have , linen done heretofore, and have been tolerated, tho j precedents are evil, and only evil; audit is nigh t tint', an attempt were made to arrest this downward „ tendency, which must inevitably result iu degrad- „ ing the highest ntlico under the constitution. If i there were any hope of making a strong demon- i atration by bringing out another Whig candidate, i n' tills late day, I should heartily concur in the „ movement. But tlicrc arc few iu tlie country who arc uiico'iimittud ny the nomination, and perhaps ] fewer still who would bo willing to vote for a can- | didntn having no prospect of mkcchs. 1 may bo asked, what then shall wc do—stand | aloof—not vote at all f Better this, than vote , wrong. Those who foci it a duty to choose be- r tween tho two evils, or who cairn it be content with temporary, isolation, ryill-nf course pul e/i Ms uni- , farm nu t full into yank*. Doubtless they will | have o / drUUnq, and one day or other, a just ap preciation of “ fteoU's Tiii’lia." Frankly confess- ] iiigtlio dlsi'omforte of Inactivity, I greatly preterit to tlis reluctant support ot cither one of the Ifymt A miUthUt. 1 Very respectfully, Ac., I Ciiaki.ks J. Jbkxins. i J’. W.

( ♦ i l,ooliout Mountain—Ulecovery ef.a New (tavern, t W k learn from the jChaUauooga Advertiser that i a new Cave was discovered a few days since, by ' Mr. Kos-rffit, while exploring for water for the , use of tin hands employed in gradiug the turnpike in process of construction up tho Mountain. This 1 • cave has us yet, only been partially explored; but it j promises to lie of more interest even than tlie old 1 “ Lookout Cave," so well known to summer tour ists, So fur as already explored, it is found to he j much larger tlum the old cave, and thero are con clusive evidences of its having been frequoiited I formerly, although none of the present Inhabitants ' of Clmttauoogn were aware of it* existence until ‘ now. Tlioao who entered it, discovered the name I „1 "W, Goodt, 1525,” distinctly written on the < rock. A pure Kind of potter's clay was also found j showing plainly tho print of a mattock mod in , digging it—also heaps of a peculiar kind of stone evidently broken with a listumor for some purpose, | not clearly understood. A more minute examine- , tion will lie had in u few days, when we nmy be i able to present some additional items of interest to ‘ subterranean explorers. “Cherokee O.ivo” (for such is its appropriate i designation 1 is very convenient of uceess, being distant same 100 yards from tlie old mountain road, aud about a quarter of a mile up from the place of beginning tlie ascent. The Advertiser, utter speaking of the many and unrt i ailed attractions of tlie Mountain, remarks: “ Ti. e chief obstacle in the way of improvement upon tii.il mountain its* heretofore been tho want of a goon wagon-roud up to the summit. This difficulty will soon be remedied. Our last legisla ture granted u charter to “Lookout Turnpike (’nm jutuy” organia xi for the purpose of building a road of easy grade up the mountain. This road is now being' constructed- idxuit lmlf of the work is ulreadv finishes!.' When completed, intercourse with the mountain will bo greatly facilitated, and by lessening the fatigue of making the ascent, will induce many more to visit it thuu bus heretofore been common.” The Mc*u*uCarries J£niuit««*»'. —Jansv Linn Octounk Mudinu* Aluoni, the new contralto singer hue been received by tlie Gothamites with the greatest euthuaiasm.

A child,"on bearing it, must need* have visions of sea* ot amber jelly Heating before his enamored mental vision, ao materially rieli, honeyed, and pellucid i* it.” There I that will do! Those “seas of amber jelly" that float “before the enamored mental vis ion" of tho yanngster, are the finest specimens of thought* “ wrecked, upon expression,” that wu have noticed for some time.

Pwfn* Extra, of Monday morning, the Mh iu*t.. for the following melancholy details, the fact having lwon already announced by 'Telegraph, of tlie explo-ion of the | steamer Kt. Jam**, by which the live* of twenty or thirty person* have bean deal roved, end many ' otliei* seriously injured. There sccina to be no donbt that the Steamer was niuning a race with the California at the time of the explosion. In a community where nearly all classes coun ; tenance and enter with spirit info stestpboat racing, I these casualties are very natural ennaequence*. Wc presume the public will be entertained for a • few days with a farce called an “ inttdljalion,'' ! all parties lie honorably acquitted, and within the ( next week or two, our New Orleans Exchange* will perhaps chronicle with great minuteue** the I progress, as given by Telegraph ftoin the various point* on the river, of aome “crack" steamers , engaged in a similar contest. Is it any wonder 1 that steamboat racing is common in a community where the prea* not only countenanoe*. (except : whon it results disastrously,) but actually oontri ' butea to cultivate the taste for the dangerous and reckless sport! If the officers or every steamer i who engaged in a race were taken up, and on eon j viction “of racings sent to the Penitentiary, wc ; presume the sport would not be ao frequently in j duiged in. If a man shoot into a crowd with a ' loaded pistol or gun, although it may have but a 1 ringis bail, and may not kill or even hit any our, I he will, on conviction, be punialied severely. : Which, we ask, it the more wanton, reckless and | desperate eharu*ter of tlie two, the man whe fire, tho pistol that cannat probably endanger the life ] of more than one person, or the officer of a sXeam er who may destroy hundreds of human beings by bis reeklct* racing! About 3 o’clock this morning the steamboat St. James, t apt Tiio*. Clark, exploder! her boilcra at I'ointo A ux-licrbcs, on Lake I'entchartridn, and I some fifteen or twenty of her passengers, among whom Judge Pre»ton, of the Supreme Court, .1. Mi Wolf, Mr. Gate*, and John L. Sliced, of the Mint, | i were lost. A gentleman connected with this office wes pas senger on board tlie steamboat California, and with in u few hundred yards o( the St. James wiioii the explosion took place. From him we derive the following circumstantial account of the passage from Bay St. Louis, and of the awful casnafity. The St. Jarno* left Ray St. Louis at U)'/{ o’clock last night, and in about twenty minutes afteward* the California, Capt. li. P. Ensign, also started fi>r tliis city. The passengers on board the California got sight of tlie st. James on entering the liigoicts, and soon after pulsed her. On getting into shoal water at j this end of the Kigolets, tho St. Jamo* again caught up w ith the California and passed ahead. Tlic ill- | fated boat bad not gone more than a quarter of a j mile iu advance when her boilers exploded. The scene which ensued was terrible beyond descrip tion. Tho upper part of the St. James was literally ; shuttered to atoms, and tho wreck was almost iu- ; stantly in flumes. The shrieks of those ou board the burning boat were heard by the passengers on tlie Cslifornia, and as tho flaines rose aud extended tho suspense and anxiety became agonizing. Captain Ensign steered directly for tho wreck, but'tho fire was so intensely hot that he was compelled by a duo re gard for the persons immediately under his charge to haul off u short distance. The boat* belonging to the California were launched, manned and went to the aid of the sufferers. Koine were in tlie water and others on the wreck, and a* many of the fire men ns were discovered were rescued’ Tlie flames rose from tlie coutre of the Kt. James, and Capt. Ensign made a second attempt to reach the persona on tlie wreck. He succeeded by skilful management iu getting under the item and a largo number of ladies aud gentlemen gained the decks of the California. We give the names of those saved below. Wo learn from Mr. Archibald Binney that Judge Preston had his berth over the boilers No. 24. Hu was seen to retire to rest, and immediately after tho explosion occurred the place where fie had been lying was observed to havebccu shuttered to pioocs, ami he was nowhere to be seen. It is pre sumed that he perished instantly, although a faint hope, which will cling to one when the destruction or safety or friends are concerned, was entertained that by some miracle he might have readied tho shore, which was not far distant. J. M. Wolf and his son, a lad about fourteeu years of age, were seen standing on the wreck of tlie St. James together. The boy urged his father to jump into the water and declared that lie could save him. Tlie father refused to jump in the water and tho boy lull him and struck out fortlie Califor nia, which was then approaching. Ho reached her iu an exhausted stutc and was saved. A rope was thrown to him just as he cried out that he could struggle no more. Mr. Gates, who was clerk in the House of J. B. Ryrne A Co., is missing, and is supposed to have been lost. John L. Sliced, of tlie mint in this c.ty, was on board the St. .lames with hislady. Mrs. Sliced wits rescued, and her husband is supposed to have pe rished. Col. Palfror was among those talcou from tli# water, having swum from the burning wreck. Ill* hand* were slightly burned. A negroy boy belonging to Dr. Pennington mit lost. It issuppoiod that about twenty lives are lost. 1 The wounded, nineteen iu number, wore loft at Dr. Liitzonburg’a Hospital, and it was thought by Dr. Peunistou, this morning, that ten of them would die of the injuries received. Tlie steamboat St. , Charles had arrived at Milnoburg, but tlic light of the burning St. Jumes having been seen the cap tain got up steam and steered for the wreck. lie arrived there, however, nfter all who could be were saved. Wo learn that Cant. W. H. Wright, the owner) ofllie Kt. Jntnea, is badly scolded. Capt. Ensign is entitled to great credit for bis | manly firmness and galluut effort* to rescue tho ]*r- i son* bn the wreck. Capt. Clark is also among tho wounded having been severely scalded. Two members of Protection Fire Company No. j IP and tho liosa carriage of the company, were ' lost. The Kt. James wu* a high pressure boat, was i built in Cincinnati in 18. W and has been employed | on the river until about a mouth ago when she was placed in the lake trade. The persons lying wounded iu Dr. Liuzcnbnrg's hospital preaout about as horrible a spectacle aa one can w itness. Outaido the buildings m which a number of them ore lying, are cott* covered with blood, having been first placed upon them. It is almost impossible to distinguish the negroes from the whites. A yaw l in which were some of those who lisd been picked up out of the water, was swamped uu- \ Tier the stern of the California, and a Mrs. Asher | and her three daughters were among those drown ed. Mr. Paul, ouo of the engineers of the P.F. Kim ball, wusalwi in thisynw), and perished iu a brave ' attempt toeavo the ladies. Mr. J. A. Noble, ot J this city was, we learn, badly hurt in the leg. Tli* W'nirultJ at Luzmbfrg'* Jlonpital. Francis Turner, Assessor of the First District, slightly scalded. Win. Collins, first engineer, badly scalded. Eliza Wilson, injurios in the back and slightly scalded. Win. Deacon, arms and upper portion of tli* body badly scalded. Francois Francis, passenger, bndl.v scalded. S. Korrlster, passenger, iiadly scalded, not ex pected to live. Harry Harvey, passenger, badly scalded. .1. G. Wheeler, watchman, slightly scalded. McMillan, dock hand, light ariu broken and badly scalded. Gregor, cabin boy, a slave belonging to Madam Isabel, badly scalded. Patrick, bolougiug to the same lady, slightly scalded. George, belonging to Morct; Bill, belonging to Strafford; Julius and Patrick, all firemen, badly scalded. P. K.—Forester, one of the wounded at tlie Liizonburg Hospital, has sines died. Five gentlemen, nil of one family, who were t* have came over on the Kt. James, have not been heard of. * Mr. Turner, assessor, had risen, and dressed himself, and was walking about the cabin when the explosion took place. He say* he was just thinking at the time that he had been very impru dent in getting ou board a Lake boat that used “ high pressure.” Tlie Mayor immediately upon hearing tho iutel Ugenoe, despatched the Kteamer California to the scene of disaster to search for other bodies—she continued to cruise in tlie viciuity for three hours, keeping up a constant firing with a six pounder, during which the bodies of two lstnales were picked up: The Ficayun* of Tuoeday morning the 4th inst says: Wc find it impossible at present to form a cori#t estimate of tlie number destroyed by this awful easuulity, aud must wait for further" intelligence from tho watering places and the place of the ex plosion. The son of Judge Preston was in search of the body of bis father during yesterday, but hi* efforts liad proved unsuccessful. ’ Several other best* were on a aimilar mission, otid doubtless other bodies will be found to-day. The first three name* below.mentioned are those of persons who it is said have perished. The other names ore those of sutierertof whom w* have heard since last evening's edition.

That tiie great principles which | firmed the Constitutional Union party of Georgia | still survive, and that the allegiance we, as a por- I tion of that party, owe to those principles, is para mount to any w* owe to the Whig or' Democratic I partie«. :id. That the present distinguished President of the United States, Millard Fillmore, entering upon the duties of his office at the most eventful and dangerous crisis that has occurred since the forma tion "of our Government, had the moral courage to risl: the sacrifice of personal popularity at home, by a faithful discharge of his duties, has been tried and found eminently qualified and true—true to the principle* of the Constitutional Union party, true to the Constitution, true to liis country. Bd.

Wont Support Scott. j The National Intelligencer of Monday, contains I the following card : Washington, July 3, 1852. j T<» prevent all mistake and misapprehension, we, the undersigned, Members of Congress, adopt tins method of making a joiut statement to our constituents, respectively, and to all who may take an interest in the subject, that we cannot and will not support Gen. Scott for the Presidency, as lie now stands before the American People, for tire following amongst other reasons: He obstinately refused, uj> to the time of his nomination, to givo any public opinion in favor of that scries of measures of the last Congress known as the compromise; the permanent maintenance of which witii us is a question of paramount im portance. Nor has lie since his nomination made any declaration of his approval of those measures as "a final adjustment of the. issues in controversy. It is true the resolutions of the Convention that nominated him are ns clear and as explicit upon this question as need he : but Gen. Scott, in his , letter of acceptance, which contains all that we j have front him on that matter, docs not give them the approval of his judgment. This he seems studiously to have avoided. He accepts the no- j initiation “withthe resolutions annexed.” That is. lie takes the nomination rum oner., as an in dividual takes an estate, with whatever incum brancee it may be loaded with. And tiie only pledge and guaranty lie offers for his “adherence I to tiie principles of the resolutions” arc “the | know n incidents of a long public life.” Are. Amongst those "bioum incident*'' of his life there ! is tied one. so lar as we aro aware, in favor of j the principles of the compromise. In one, at least. I of liis public letters he has expressed sentiments* inimical to the institutions of fifteen States of tiie Union. Since the passage of the compromise he has autfered liis name to bo held up before the people of several of the States as a candidate for i lie Presidency by the open and avowed enemies of those measures. And in the Convention that conferred this nomination upon him lie permitted himself to be used hv the Pm -mile re in that body to defeat Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, because of their advocacy of these measures and their firm adherence to the policy tiiat sustained them. To join such men, and aid them in completing their triumph over, and earritire of, tiie true and tried friends of the constitution, and tiie faithful discharge of all its obligations, is what we can nev er do. The dictates of duty and patriotism sternlv forbid It. We consider Gen. Scott as the fa cor Ur candidate of the Fete-noil wing oi tiie Whig partv. That his policy, if lie should bo elected, would be warp ed and shaped to conform to their views, and to elevate them to power in the administration of the Government, can but be considered as a legitimate and probable result. And. believing as we do, that the views of that faction of mischievous men are dangerous not only to the just and constitution al rights of the Southern States, (which we repre sent in part,) but to the peace und quiet of the whole country, and to the permanent union of the States, we regard it as the highest duty of the well wishers of the conutry every where, whatever elso they may do, to at least withhold from him tlieir support. This we intend to do. Alexander H. Stephens, of Ga. Charles Jas. Fai lknrh, of Vb. W. Brooke, of Miss. Alex. White, of A!a. James Abercrombie, of Aia. K. Toombs, of Ga.

Scott as‘a candidate for the j ■ Presidency.

By tho schooner Eagle, from Vera Cruz, we re ceived our files of El Rorvonir to tho 23d, and from the city of Mexico Le Trait d’Union, El Siglo XIX. j and El Monitor Kejiublicauo to tiie 19th nit. The entente at Mazatlun caused by tiie extraor- I dinarv contributions levied directly on the people | of that city by tile Government of the State of Culiaeau, has resuited in a pronunriamiento. The foreign merchants in the port, sustained hy tlieir respective consuls, had previously determined to close their stores rather than pay the contributions. Tiie native traders had also taken the same resolu tion. The promincUimimto followed. Tho State Government stopped the buying of contributions, and was to bring tho question before tlio State Legislature. Several arrests were in tho mean time made. The port of Mazatlun was deserted by shipping, and its commerce dead. A difficulty of a somewhat, serious nature had tnkep place between tiie French Minister and Mexican Government. It will be remembered that by the arrangement entered into between the Mexican Government ami the English holders of Mexican bonds, the latter were to receive as a part of tiie debt due them tlio sum oi $2,508,000 from the indemnity paid to Mexico by die United States. The money being in specie, and in process of pay ment to tlio Mexican authorities bv Mr. Forsuiil, of tiffs city, the United States agent sent down for the purpose, the question arose whether tiie $2,- 500,000 should be taken out ofthe country by the English holders without paying the duty levied on all specie exported from Mexico. After some dis cussion on this point—one of importance, for the payment of the duties would have reduced tlio whole sum to s2,ooo,ooo—the Mexican Govern ment decided to allow the money to leave tho country without being taxed. It appears, however, that a Fronch commercial house in the city of Mexico, to whom the Mexican Government is iurgoiy indebted, lmd the payment of its debt secured by a claim on all contributions received from taxes on specie exported. It there fore protested, through tiie French Minister, against the $2,500,000 being sent out of tho coun try without paying the usual duty. Several notes wore exchanged between the Minister and the Mexican Government. Tha latter, in its discus sion with th* English creditors, has been induced to remit tlio tux under tlio very excellent plea tiiat money disbursed from the public treasury to acquit a public debt ought not to be taxed to make public revenue. The French Minister’s notes were writ ten, it appears iu rather too decided a spirit, and it was rumored that one of them had been return ed to tlio Minister, but tho Trait ff’Uuion denies this. Tho affair terminated for the time being with tiie departure by the last steamer of the French Secretary of Legation for Paris. It was rumored tiiat the Mexican Government, bv the same means, sent despatches to tlieir Minister ■ at Paris, showing up the French Minister’s course ! iu no flattering terms. The 82,500,u000f tlio American indemnity were all this time being paid over to the Mexican treas ury, under Mr. Forstall’s supervision. Mr. For staff, fearing that amid tiie rumors of a eoypd'fiiit, j a coup de main might b« made on liis specie, ad dressed a document to Mr. Letcher, the American Minister, requesting him to take the necessary precautions. Mr. Letcher forwarded a note to tiie Mexican Government which promised to place troops at Mr. Forstall’s disposition in ease of ne cessity. and that gontleman was also authorized to hoist tlio American flag, if its protection were needed. The $2,500,00P were to leave the oitv of Mexico, ou the 18th ult,, for Vera Ortiz, under a special escort. Sir. Forstall was to accompany it. —xV. O. Picayune, 6th inst. Later from Texas, By tiie arrival of the steamship Yacht, Capt. Thompson, wo have received dalos from Browns ville to tlis 26th ult., and Galveston to the 2J inst. The Flag says tlmt the lawless horde of des] 'erit does which holds possession of the country above Brownsville, on the Rio Grande, arc sfill at work. Two flatbonts which left Brov. nsville sometime since ou their return to Guerrero, Mexico, liave been attacked, some of the crews killed and the boats plundered bv tile same parly whose mur derous acts have been so often recorded. Two of the men who were on the bouts had returned to Brownsville, having made tlieir escape, arid report tiiat while near the rancho Rosario, they were fired upon and driven from tiie boats. They report having seen one man killed, but having succeeded in escaping soon after tiie attnek. they aro unable to say now many of their companions were massa cred before the boats wore taken. 'They say tiiat, after the boats were taken possession of they were conveyed to the Mexican bank of the river and rifled of their contents. The Rio Bravo says tiiat the party win robbed tnese boats was headed by tiie notorious Pedro \4llareal, wli* holds a commission from Gen. Ava -185. The same paper says these boms never touch cd on the Mexieau side of tho river during tiie trip. The following, from tiie Rio Bravo, tolls the whole story ot the band of mixed Indians and Mexicans who have been committing the recent murders and robberies on the Rio Grande. The rlacrhas a simitar statement: The Alcalde ofKeynosa, alarmed and indignant at t.ie acts of 1 edro Villareal, aud willing to pre | serve the inhabitant* of his jurisdiction from re prisals, wrote two official notes to Gan. Avalos coin* plaining and requesting that Pedro Villareal and hi* Inman Chief, with their parties acting under lus orders, be ordered out of his jurisdiction, (.cm Avalos deigned not to reply to either of his letters; but the Alcalde, hearing oi tiie renewed outrage upon the citizens of Guerrero, and the robbery and destruction of tlieir bents, advanced upon tiie rancho ot l*o*urio with about seventy citizens, and caixfc to tbo log fort erected by the Indiana. ’ t J Upon being ordered by l.im to disperse he waa | dobed and insulted, tiie Indians having a much I superior force. Outside ofthe fort was tlio noto rious Gapt. 1 yen nu with a company. The Alcalde ordered him to disperse, but lie refused, threaten ! : '!4 1° sustain the Indians. Tijerina and the In j chans wrote to Gen. Avalos for a reinforcement, ' and a company of dragoons was sent by him to their assistance. The Alcalde seeing the collection of so large a force, ordered all tl.e eitizeus of lii* jurisdiction under arms for the purpose of defend mg their rights and sustaining the laws of the 1 country : but through the mediation ot tfol. Cruz, | ot the Mexican army, who happened to be i.assiuo' I at the time, a collision of the people with the troops . and Indians was prevented, the Col. promising to see Gen. Avalos, aud to ago liis influence to pre vent lurther intrigues. So the question of a civil war reals at the last advice. Two companies of volunteers have been organi , zed in Brownsville, in order to be prepared for any I emergency that may arise. IV. \V. ltunlar,Es q :, t ““been elected Major of the battallion.guid A.

I The Bio Bravo say* that Mr. IVtgldcU, theU.S. j Consul at Mata more*, had determined to interfere ! in the execution ot the two Americans, recently shot by Gen. Avalos at Matamoras, and that if the order to shoot them had been given, it must be done through the American flag. Knowing this I , b'Gen. Avaios stated as a reason for changing the hour of execution from 10 to 5 in tiie morning, that he did not wish to be obliged to aheot the American Consul. He said that, though from the known pusillanimity of the American Government and officials, be had little to fear from any direct j interference, still he thought best to put it "beyond i their power to do so, aud that therefore tiie order j lor a change in the hour had been given. 1 he Bravo gives the following account of the 1 two Americans shot.

COTTON’.—The market during the week Ims been rather quiet, and for the last three days inactive. In the early part of the week there was a good demand for the better descriptions at full prices, but it ceased on Saturday, since which the transactions have been corillncd to a few sms 1 lots for the consumption of home factories; and as the stock is very much reduced and the offerings consequently small, holders have generally been able to obtain former prices Buyers for shipment, however, refuse to purchase except ut lower rates, which holders refuse to accept. In this state of things, we are unable to give quotations.

Liverpool Market.. LIVERPOOL, June 25.—Our •.'avttlor advices of the 18tl» inst., per Africa, reported a quiet feeling in our Cotton mar ket, with estimated sajea that day of 7,duo bales. No change occurred on Saturday, the business being confined to 6*uuu bales The Cambria arrived on Sunday; her adv««», re porting a continuance of comparatively large veccipts and u decline in prices at the American ports, induced holders to offer the recent Import freely, notwithstanding which the sales of the day did not exceed 5,000 bales, with some irregularity in rates. Thy game feature continued on Tues day, 6,000 hales changing hands. The Arctic’s accounts were to hand Wednesday, but failed to produce any es feet; the trade, however, influenced by the greater choice on offer, extended their purchases, and 8,000 bales were disposed of and more steadiness apparent. Yesterday the demand was more general, although no spirit characterized the operations of the day, which amounted to 6,000 bales, at prices on the level of last Friday’s quotations. The total aales of the week amount to 44,410 bales, ol which speculators have taken 10,100 and exporters 4,64 b bales, and include 88,170 American, of Which 9,410 are to speculators, and 8,990 to exporters. The import for the same time is 61,875 bales, of which 77,301 are American, JMeei to-day; Fair. Middling. Ordinary. New Orleans, 6}* <&— b%<s~ 4j* u Mobile 6%<fa— &&<&>« 4,\<£lXd Atlantic, 6/i<&— 4)*(fa4 tfd To-day’s business is estimated at 7,buo bales, 1,000 spec ulation and 1,000 export, the markot closing quietly. Influenced by the recent adviega per Cambria and Arctic reporting a probable gaiu on the receipts of last year for the remainder of the season, wliicli would ensure a crop ol over bales, us well also as the promise of another lurge yield the forthcoming campaign, the one secur „ present, the other a probable plentiful supply, tended to check the spirit of speculation and engendered C auti -n on the part of the trs.de, which the abundance and cheap rate of money not been sufficient to dispel. Before however, tUo new crop can arrive to market in quantity! there is sufficient time for the recent speculative purchases to be diffused iuto other &na&nels, and hence this class ol operators show no ai*xlHy # to part witli their stocks ut any sacrifice. The rwwto chance of further supnly reaching us at a less tost than our present quotations', also causes much on the part of the importers, although of the latfc arrivals considerable quantity could bo realized to pay handsome profits, which no doubt is the reason of so much more being on offer. Later advices will be looked for with interest, us cm thrtr character will depend greatly the fu ture course of the market. iu me wauuiaciurxtg districts no new feature presents itself; the quiet state of our Cotton market has influ enced a like feeling in both Goods and Yarns, which be ing light In stock, except in the heavy makes of former and coarse counts of latttr, which are accumulating, and price* unremunerative, are held for former rates. Although, in some instances, concessions have been submitted to the home trade being good, has prevented the decline a warn of foreign orders usually occasions, the prospect of a large continental business during the Autumn is considered fa vorable, and tends to encourage both spinners and man ufacturers. During the past week the weather has been broken with copious showers of rain daily, which imparted a firm tone to our Grain market. Notwithstanding that imports ol Brcadstuffs have been on a liberal scale, prices of all kinds have had an advancing tendency, and the business trans acted is of a more enlarged character. The accounts from France and Belgium report excessive rains and floods, which, however, seem to have subsided without doing much, if any, injury to the growing crops. Yesterday and to-day a return of fine warm sunshine has had the effect of cur tailing the demand and checking the upward movement in rates. The future is entirely a weather question, and ai present this looks most promising.— Wright, Gandy A Co. ACGIBTA PRICES CLKKEYT. Article* Wholesale. Retail.
