Swilseiland has b* en forced to require that refu

Thk Atlantic TkM[rap h.—The general pro
gramme ot the et-cond, and, as we trust, final at

diticnal inifeaof cable ordered before last Christ

uei • übmerged and lost last autumn off Valentia.
L additional u ugth has now been completed. It

steamer tor conveyance to Plymouth, where it will
arrive o Monday next. Iu the dockyard there, at
Eevbam, the main bulk ot the cable, to the length
ot *i-‘OO min s, has beeu stowed away in gigantic
! ? durmg the winter, and a fall strffof electri
tin i., uud'-r the directions of Mr-Whitehouse, have
oeeu engaged in working messages throughout its
entire length, and generally proving the electrical
fitness of the cable to the fullest extent.
The result of these experiments, we are informed,
has been in the highest degree satisfactory. Most
. : tj.os* acquainted with the first efforts which
were made to eeud messages through the entire
■cm gth. of the cable know that the retarding intiu
e; < e. or whatever other name electricians may now
, , . , to call it, which exists in a long conductor,
exercised a serious influence upon the rapidity with
which i; was found possible to transmit words

v ■ •*: n.:*. joined with practical skill in working the
wir ** da:iy. ,Hve enabled Mr Whitehouse to over

tl a be tore the time comes for its aecond sub

qaaiuted with the practical working of submarine

but a poor result, alter all. though we can assure
’ Mem that it ever attained it is such an improve
ment iu the rate of transmission as not many ven

first ti ne last summer.
When the Adonis, with the *OO recently comple

viiaiiioi.ai length will be immediately lauded and

V:us- the entire length of cable already manufac
tured to nearly miles, or some 150 miles or
’ ht-reabouts niore than the entire length with which
i. i expedition started last Autumn. There is no
doubt, however, but that the firet attempt was made
witii uto small an allowance for casualities. aud that
lit quently when the cable parted, and about 380
mi:c? were lost in tiie depths of the Atlantic, it so re
duoed ti;e length of wire remaining at the disposal
of the engineers that further perseverance in the
attempt became almost impoesible.
To guard against n recurrence of this mishap it has
ii ‘w been deteimined to manufacture an additioua
:hH> miles of cable beyond the 2,1*50 miles which we
ua\ e slated is already completed. This additional
wdi be * v unneuced at A: Elliot s works ou
Friday next, and
m vnu forwarded to> Key ham to be joined to the
...a ecu wukdi will then uit-asure nearly 3,000 milea

to be the vessels employed in the attempt of this
ve*ar. The former was to leaveNewYork.webe

Plymouth about the 12 hor!3th. Onhei arrival at
I- :: > .e will instantly commence taking on
\ >,are of the immense wire, which thie
aur Win amount in length to 1.500 miles, instead of
1 ;jjo as on the iaet occasion. On board the Aga
mem non the cable will not be coiled away in one
prodigieas ma’- eniidship but be distnbated equal
ly uq the fore, midship and after part of the vessels,
in three coils ot about 500 miiee each. By this ar
rangement, of course, the weight of the wire ip
equally distributed and the *hip well trimmed The
v**ry reverse was the case last Autumn, when the
we ght ot the whole mass was concentrated amid
ships, and. thus balanced on the principle of a Chi
nese toy. the poor Agamemnon rolled on the least
swell tUI her yards almost touched the water
[The attempt to lay down the cable will be made
this year at a much earlier period than on the last
occasion. All the best authorities and experienced
seamen have been consulted on behalf of the Com
pany as to the state of the weather in the Atlantic
in the montuof June, and we behove the result of
an immense mass of testim. uy goes to piove that
\ here are some five or six consecutive days in that
month during which a gale in the Atlantic was sel
dom or never known to occur. The expedition will
leave the*e shores so as to arrive in the centre ot
the Atlantic at about the commencement of these
halcyon days, aDd the object will be ofcouree to get
over the deep sea part of the undertaking before
the weather changes. The line will be joined and ,
laid from the centre of the ocean, the Niagra bring
ing her end to England and the A game moon con
veying hers to America,. Communications by elec
tric signal will of course, if the wire holds, be kept
up bid ween the two vessels the whole way
All these new arrangements and precautions are
the result of the experience of last year’s attempt,
and, of course, all improvements conduce towards
the chances of ultimate success. But it is no exag
geration to pay that there is one portion of the ap
paratus upon the and proper management
of which the success or non-success of the whole
plan must ultimately depend, and that is upon the
paying out machinery. That this machinery was
bad last year, aud that it was made still worse by
the most absurd mismanagement, no one now
denies ; but we trust and believe that there is no
chance of a repetition this year of such blunders.
How the new machinery constructed we cannot
at present say, further than that a self-acting brake
has been devised, which is said to be perfect; that
all the alterations have beeu made under the
superintendence of Mr. EvereF, the Chief Engineer
of the Niagara, and Mr. Appold, and that Mr. Penn,
Mr. LI >yd, aud Mr. Field have, we believe, been
from time to time consulted about it, So ar, tber,
it aught to be all that can be wished, but w*j hope
to be able to speak more positively on this point in
a few days. *

My Lord,—Count Walewski is very desirous that
I should express to your lordship his astonishment
and regret at the interpretation put, during t.iie late
discussion in the House ot Commons, upon certain
pluasos m his despatch to Count Persigny of the
2f)fch ultimo—astonishment that his uo anm / could
have been misunderstood, and regret that he should
be believed, with his knowledge of England, capa
bleof applying, as a generality, an imputation
which the context of his despatch ought, he thinks,
to have proved could only have been intended for a
definite class of straugers.
1 must, injustice to Count Walewski, add, that in
the numerous conversations which 1 have had with
him during the last month, his language has beeu in
entire conformity with the assurances which I hag*
thus the honor to convey to your lordship on his
part. Moreover, his Excelleucy has evinced so
much concern that the deplorable eveuta which
have occurred should not interrupt the friendly re
lations which exist between the two countries, that
it is not to be supposed he would iutentionally have
,-iaid aug it that could .be construed into un attack
upon the liberties of the British nation. I have, 4ke.,

both countries. ,
Uo vinced that (lose sentiments are shared by
the government of his Imperial Majesty, and that

such friendly relations are best maintained by frank
and unreserved intercourse, her Majesty’s govern

some causes of misapprehension which, it cannot
be denied, have produced, and, if suffered to re
main unexplained, must continue to produce, pain
ful effects upon the public mind oi Eugland
Your Lordship will assure Count Walewski that
her Majesty’s government entertain the fullest con
viction that his excellency, in his despatch of the
20th January, written at a moment when the just
indignation of France and the world had beeu ex
cited by the late atrocious and cowardly attemptup
ou Iho life of his Imperial Majesty, and under the
impression that the laws of England were insuffi
cient to protet his Imperial Majesty against arepe
tition of such attempts on the part of foreign refu
gees resident in Great Britain had no other inten
tion than of pointing out to her Majesty’s govern
incut what appeared to be a source of danger to
France, and inviting their attention to the supposed
defect.
If such has been from the first the hope of her
Majesty's government,that hope has been complete
ly realised by the full aud frank assurances which
Count Walewski has spontaneously given, as re
ported in your despatch of the *23d February, of
his astonishment and regret at the interpretation
put upon certain phrases of hia despatch to Count
Pereiguy, ol the 20th of January, “ astonishment
hat his meaning could have been miauuder.'ti*od.
and regret that he should be believed, with his
knowledge of Eoglan *, capable of applying, as a
generality, an imputation which the context of his
despatch, ought, he thinks, to have proved could
only have beeu intended for a definite class ol stran
gers.” , ,
Though her Majesty’s Government, have, from
the first, entertained the belief that an erroneous
construction bad been put cn Coudl W alewski s
despatch, they receive with the highest satisfaction
the voluntary repudiation, so honorable to his ex
cellency, of the meaning which he believes to have
been attributed to him , and in the same spirit of
candor, they desire to call his attention to those ex
pressions which really have produced an unfavo
rable impression on the public opinion of the coun-
Vour lordship will therefore remark to Cos mt
Walewski. that his excellency, in stating that the
attempt, which has just providentially failed, “like
others which have preceded it. was devised in Eng
[aud,“ in speaking with reference to the %i adepies
dt la demagog*” established in England,—ol as
sassination elevated to doctrine, preached openly,
practised in reoeated attempts’ * —and in asking
•‘whether the right of asylum should protect such a
*tate of things, or contribute to favor their designs
and their plans/ —has not unnaturally been under
stood to imply imputations, not only that the offen
ces enumerated are not recognised as such by the
English law. and may be committed with impunity,
but that the spirit of English legislation is such as
designedly to shelter and screen the offender from
punishment. ,
Her Majesty's government are persuaded that had
Count Walewski known, when his excellency held
with your lordship the conversation to which I have
adverted above, that such construction was put up
on certain portions ol his despatch of January ’JOth,
he would have had no difficulty in adding to the as
surance then given the further assurance that no
thing could have been further from his intention
than to convey an imputation injurious alike to the
morality and the honor of the British nation. AH
the offences which hia excellency enumeiatee, on
being proved to the satisfaction of a jury, subject
the person convicted to the infliction of penalties
more or ie&s severe . and if cases have been brought
to the notice of the government of his Imperial Ma
iesty. which may appear to have been overlooked
by her Msjeety s government, it is not to be doubt
ed but that the advisers of her Majesty, in abstain
ing to prosecute, have been influenced by motives
of discretion quite consistent with an earnest desire
to repress such offences.
Subsequently however, to the late atrocious at
tempt, proceedings have been instituted in two ca
ded-_one for complicity in the late murderous at
tempt, another for a publication “elevating assassi
nation to doctrine/’ and another similar case is now
under the consideration of the law officers of the
crown.
It is hoped that these considerations will satisfy
Count Walewski that either his expressions have
been greatly misunderstood, or that tnt*y have been
made under an erroneous apprehension of the state
*f the law in this country, and that, in either case,
his excellency will not hesitate, with that frankness
which characterised his conduct, to offer an expla
nation which cannot fail to remove any existing mis
conception.

Waiewaki. ana leave a oopy with his excellency. I

Earl Cowley to the Earl of Malmesbury.
(Received March 9.)
Paris, March 8, 1858.
My Lord—i waited upon Count Walewski this
afternoon, by appointment, and read to him your
lordship’s despatch of the 4th inst, and, in compli
ance with the instruction contained in it, I left a
copy with hi? excellency.
Count W’alewski said that he received with great
pleasure the assurances conveyed in it, that the
government of which your lordship is a member are
earnestly desirous of maintaining in their integrity
those close and frienly relations which since the
restoration of the empire, have marked the alliance
between France and Great Britain; that he recog
nieed, In common with yonr lordship, the great
benefit of a good understanding between the two
countries ; and that you would always find him dis
posed to aid in maintaining it.
With regard to the rest of the despatch, Count
Walewski said that he would return an answer to it
in a day or two through the Emperor’s ambassador
iu London ; but that he had no hesitation instating
at once that nothing could have been further from
his intention than to convey, in his despatch of the
20th of January to Count Persigny, any imputa
tii n whatever on the morality or honor of the Bri
rich nation. Nay, ie would go further, and assure
me that that despatch was written with no other
object than to signalize acts and proceedings dan
gerous to the tranquility of France, which the im
perial government had reason to believe were car
rying on within the British territories. His excel
leucy admitted that he had used strong language,
but it had been solely with reference to those acts
and proceedings. He had never pointed out, or
intended to point out, a remedy for Lhem. It was
for the English Government and the English nation
alone to determine in what manner and in what
measure, a remedy could be applied—l have, &c.,

Count Walewski to Count Persigny—(Communi
cated to the Earl of Malmesbury by Count Per
signy t March 12.)
Paris, March 11, 1858.
M. le Comte—Lord Cowley has delivered to me
a despatch which has been addressing to him by
her Britannic Majesty’s principal Secretary of
State tor Foreign Affairs, dated the 4th of March,
and of which you will find a copy annexed hereto.
The government of the Emperor congratulates it
self on the friendly disposition of the new Cabinet,
and sees, with sincere satisfaction, that the present
ministers of the Queen, like their predecessors, are
under no misapprehension either as to our inten
tions, or as to the grave nature of the facts which
we have signalised to the government of her Britan
nic Majesty.
The Government of the Emperor, M. le Comte,
flatters itaelf that, for six years, its whole conduct
has precluded the suspicion of its wishing, in any
way, to wound the dignity of the English nation ;
and his Majesty thinks that he has seized every op
portunity during peace, as well as during war, of
drawing closer the bonds between the two people.
The Emperor, as you are aware, has always enter
tained this profound conviction, that the reconcilia
tion of two great nations, after ages of antagonism, ‘
could be sincere and lasting only on one condition,
namely, that the honor of oue should never be sa
crificed to the honor of the other.
Such sentiments, attested by the constant acta of
the government of his Majesty are a sufficient au
swer to the erroneous interpretations of which our
communication of the 20th of January has been tiie
object. Besides, what has happened? I begged
you to signalize to the governmentof her Britannic
Majesty the existence in Loudon of a sect of foreig
ners which, iu its publications and its meetings,
elevates assassination to doctrine, and which, in the
space of six years has sent into France not less than
eight assassins to strike a blow at the Emperor, as
is proved by the declaration of the jury.
All these attempts, like that of the 14th January,
have found the Emperor impassive ; putting his
trust in the protection of Heaven, his Majesty
views with profound disdain the attacks which are
and rected only at his person ; but the country has
shown itself to be deeply moved by them, and as,
at the time when 1 addressed my despatch to you,
no repressive meaiure had been taken in London,
public opinion in France, without taking into ac
count the nature of the institutions of England,
nor the motives of discretion of which Lord
Malmesbury’s communication speaks, was aston
ished that so much audacity should have remained
unpunished.
Moreover, the character of ou* proceedings was
laid down to you in the clearest manner by the
Emperor himself, who wrote to you toward the
end of January : “ I do not deceive myself os to
the little efficacy of the measures which could be
taken, but it will still be a friendly act, which will
calm much irritation here. Explain our position
clearly to the Ministers of the Queen. It is not now
a question of saving my lif e ; it is a question of sav
ing the alliance.”
The Emperor, M. le Comte, has never intended to
demand the support of foreign governments to in
crease his personal security. A more elevated sen
timent, an interest greater in his eyes, have guided
him—namely, the maintenance of the good rela
tions existing with the neighboring states.
My despatches of the 2flth of January had no
other object than to signalise a state of thiugs which
was to be regretted ; but I carefully abstained from
expressing any opinion aa to the measures calcu
lated to remedy it; and I have been unable to un
derstand how certain expressions of that, despatch
have been eo misinterpreted. It is, beside, unne
cessary for me to tell you that it never entered my
thought to consider English legislation as designed*
*ly sheltering the offender, and, to borrow Lord
Malmesbury’s own words, as screening him from
punishment.
In giving these assurances to the principal Secre
tary of State, you will be so good as to atld that, as
the intentions of the Emperor have beeu misap
prehended, his Majesty’s government will abstaiu
irom continuing a discussion which, by being pro
longed, might prejudice the dignity and good un
*lerstauding ot the two countries ; and that it ap
peals, purely aud simply, to the loyalty of the En
glish people.
I request you to read this dispatch to Lord Mal
mesbury, and to leave with him a copy of it. J(e
ceivfe &c., (Signed) A. Walewski.

Several Indian depradatioiis have been commit
ted recently in the vicinity of Fort Stanton. On
the 27th ultimo, nine animals belonging to Mr
Beach, and four horses belonging to Mr. Antonio

to Marco's baud, Indians of Texad. These same
men stole, on the same night, two horses, the pro.
perty of Mauco, a Mescalero chief; took thorn trom
the vicinity of-his camp.
About the 7th of this month, (the exact day isuot
stated,) a horrible outrage was committed at Dona
Ana by Mexicans from the Mesilla It has been of
ficially reported to tlm headquarters of this depart
ment. It appears that some Mtaealeros had visited
the Messilla Valley, and, rumor says, stolen some
animals from that vicinity. Their trail was taken
by a party of men, styled the “ Mesilla Guard,”
whose duties appear to be those of a vigilance com
mittee, to watch and punish all evil doers. In ‘ol
lowing the trail, these Mexicans came to a camp
about three miles from Dona Ana, where some of
the tribe were living, and after killing three Iu
dians, entered the town in a state of semi-intoxica
tion,'following women and children who were flee
ing there for protection. Eight, or nine Indians,
principally women, were killed, two women wouud
ed, and one child taken captive and carried to Me
silla. The Mesoaleros have been in the habit, fur a
long time, of visiting Dona Ana, where their prin
cipal trading was carried ou. The people of Dona
Ana say that this attack was wanton, ami altogeth
er unprovoked.
Saudobal, a Navajo chief, with a deputation of
that nation, accompanied also by Armijo, another
chief, has been on a visit to department headquar
ters. A talk was had wuh the department com
mander, on the part of the former, in relation to the
murder and robbery of his niece, which took place
at Albuquerque a few days ago. The latter chief
called upon the commander of the department to
state the desire of himself and people to live in
peace with the Utahs, with whom they are now at
war. Their present, hostility prevents the Nava
joes from opening their fields, constructing their
acequias, and attending to their agricultural inte

each other.

This Butchery of the-Navajoes.—Last week
wo noticed the murder of two Indians, in the vicini
ty of Alberquerque, by some Mexicans, but were
unable to give the particulars. It seems that on
the sth instant, three Navajo Indians, one woman
and two men, went into Albuquerque with a cap
tive girl, and sold her to a man named Wheeler for
$l5O. During the day the Indians got in company
with a Mexican named Juaii Hinojos, and several
others. Liquor was used pretty Ireely among them.
About 7 o clock in the evening, the girl, who is a
niece of the chief Saudobal, and one of the men,
started to wade the river, on their way home.—
They had not gotten across, when they were over
taken Dy Juan Hinojos and another Meaicau and
stabbed, causing almost instant death to botli tiie
girl and man. The man had on him nine thruatß,
two of them penetrating to the heart. It was sup
posed he had about SSO, which was taken by the
murderers. Tiie other Indian, with a Mexican be
hind him, crossed over on horeebaek. VVheu ho
had gotten to the opposite shore from Albuquerque,
he was struck across the head with a weapon of
so in i kind, by the Mexican who had crossed with
him and rendered insensible. These are the par
ticulars of this most brutal butchery, so far as we
hafeiieen able to learn t hem.
Juan Hinojos, the principal actor in the crime,
returned to Albuquerque with his bloody clothes
still on him, and with a part of the money stolen
trom the Indians, which was likewise bloody, pur
chased a clean shirt. He was instantly arrested
and lodged in jail, where he now is, awaiting his
trial. The other Mexican had not been arrested at
-last accounts.
Agent Carson writes that about sixty of the Utah
Indians attend his agency every day. They are in
great want, and have to be fed liberally.
Orsini s Address to Napoleon.— The follow
ing address written in prison by the conspirator,
Orsini, was by permission of the Emperor, read by
the counsel for Orsini during the trial:
“ To Napoleon 111, Emperor of the French :
“ The depositions which'l have made agaiust my
self, in the course of the political proceedings which
have been instituted ou occasion of tiie attempt of
the 14th of January, are sufficient to send me to the
scaffold, and I shall submit to my fate without ask
ing for pardon, both because I will not humiliate
myself before him who has destroyed the reviving
liberty of my country, and because, iu the situation
in which I am now placed, death for me will be a
relief.
“ Being near the close of my career, I wish, how
ever, to make a last effort to assist Italy, whose in
dependence has hitherto made me pass through so
many perils and submit to so many sacrifices. Sue
was the constant object of ail my affeciions, and it
is that idea which I wish to set forth in tiie words
which I address to yonr Majesty.
“In order to maintain the balance of power in
Europe, it-i_s necessary to render Italy independent,
or to loosen the chains by which Austria holds her in
bondage. Shall I ask that, for her deliverance, the
blood of Frenchmen shall be shed for the Italians 1
No : Ido not go so far as that. Italy demands that
France shall not interfere against her, and that
France shall not allow Germany to support Austria
in the struggles in which she may perhaps bo soon
engaged. This is precisely what your Majesty may
do, if you are so inclined; on your will, therefore,
depends the welfare or misfortune of my country,
the life or death of a nation to which Europe is, in
a great measure, indebted for her civilization.
“Such isthe prayer which, from my cell, I dare
address to your Majesty, not despairing but that
my feeble voice may be beard. I beseech your Ma
jesty restore to Italy the indepenoe which her chil
dren lost in 1849, through the very fault of the
French. Let yout Majesty call to mind that the
Italians, among whom was my father, joyfully shed
their blood for Napoleon the Great, wherever he
chose to lead them; that they were faithful to him
until his fall; and that so long as Italy shall not be
independent, the tranquility of Europe, and that of
your Majesty, will only be vain illusions.
“May your Majesty not reject the last prayer of
a patriot ou the steps of a scaffold. May you de
liver my country, and the blessing of 25,000,000 of
citizens will follow you to posterity,
‘ Felice Orsini.

A Magnificent Libel Suit—Fernamh> Wood
vs Greeley &. Co.— Seven Hundred and Fifty
Libels in one Batch —One of the most magnificent
libel suits that has ever been instituted in this coun
try, is shortly to be brought against Horace Gree
ley &l Cos., the proprietors of the Tribune. The
alleged libels were published in the Tribune in the
course of the three or four years that Mayor Wood
was in office, and include many charges against
him, both in his public aud private capacity.
W r hen the Mayor was in office, he did not feel
called upon to notice these publications; but now
that he has retired from all political excitements,
since the recent election, he feels obliged, out of
regard for the reputation of himself and his family,
to demand a complete and thorough investigation,
which will result, he is convinced, in a complete
vindication of his character in public and private
life.
In pursuance of this resolution, we are informed
that Mr. Wood had secured the services of several
eminent lawyers, and that the case will contaiu no
less than seven hundred and fifty distinct libels—
principally charges of swindling, thieving, forgery
and other opprobious offences, and founded upon
certain remote commercial transactions which can
be easily explained. The array of counsel in the
case is one of the greatest ever known at this bar,
and the parties will be proceeded against by crimi
nal indictments as well as in the civil courts, and
thus the whole matter will be thoroughly investi
gated.— N. Y. Herald.
Is Saleratus Injurious to the Teeth ?— A
dentist writing for the N. Y. Post disputes the dog
ma, published in the papers, that saleratus is inju
rious to teeth, and says :
To satisfy myseif upon the subject, I also made
several experiments, thinking tflat possibly I was
mistaken or misread upon chemical combinations.
I immersed in a concentrated liquid of the eommoa
and crudest; grocer's saleratus a sound adult tooth,
also an infant’s first tooti.. (which arc alwayß very
soft,] and a tooth with all the elements of decay in
its substance, add covered with limy concretion de
posited in the month, popularly known as “tartar.’
These teeth, which I send you. have been immersed
in saleratus liquid over six weeks, heaten ten deg.
F. above the natural heat ot the stomach a month.
You will perceive that neither the natural polish
nor the “tartar’ are in any way distributed , alter
ed or decomposed ! So much for practical illustra
tion.

he ieft word at Oxford that their minister was dead

Interesting from Northern Mexico.
The teamehip Gen. Rusk, from Brazos Santiago,
arrived this morning.
By this arrival we have Brownsville papers to the
24th inst. The news from the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande is quite interesting. The Brownsville
Flag, of the 17th, says :
“Affairs with onr neighbors seem approaching a
cr.sis, judging from the ‘signs of the times’ as mani
fested in Matamoras and Tampico, the two extremes
of the State of Tamaulipas, w-hich lies just opposite
us. We have seen a ’bando’or decree from the
commander of the rea-tionist forces, dated at Tam
ptoo on the sth inst, in which every citizen between
the ages of 17 and 50 are called upon to take up
arms torepel the‘opprsers of order,’as Gen. Mo
reno is pleased to designate the forces under Gov.
Garza. From this we should judge that the consti
tutionalists are near the city of Tampico, and that
tue commandant at that place did not feel qnito
saie. The same decree holds out an invitation to
toieign residents to form themselves into compa
nies tor the defence of the town, with the promise
>. 1 arms from the arsenal of the commandant. On
the other hand, in Matamoras enlistments are con
ste utly going on for the ranks of the liberals.
Uur last novices from Monterev contain news of
a victory gained by a division of Vidaurri’s forces
at some point between Monterey and San Luis in
which many were killed aud several important offi
cers of the enemy captured, among whom were
Gens. Almonte and Cruz. Vidaurri's forces w ere
commanded by Col. Martin Say as, whose magnani
mity prompted him to relieve the two Generals
named above ou their parole ot honor. Geu. Cruz
it is said, embraced the first opportunity to break
his parole, and sought safety iu flight.
“Puebla, it is said, has beeu taken by the Libe
ralists.”
The Flag, of the 24th, says :
“On Sunday evening last, the people of Mata
ruoros were made exceedingly joyful by the return
of their commission with the welcome decree that
the hitherto neglected city of Matamoros had been
declared a free port, for tiie introduction of every
species of merohaud.se free of ail impost-duties.
We have as yet beeu uuable to gather the particu
lars. Beyond the fact that such a deeree has beeu
sanctioned, we are wholly in the dark. We are ig
norant of the source from whence the all important
deeree originated or by whom conceded—whether
it is intended to apply alone to our fair sister, Mata
mores, or whether it extends beyond, or how far.
It is he prevalent opinion, however, that it etubra
oes the whole frontier, from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Ptedras Negras, through the two States
of Taniaulipas and Nuevo Leo i y Coahuila.
“By this decree a more fata! blow has been struck
at Tampico than can bo done by the combined for
ces of the Liberals which are now marching against
it. This single paper missile is more potent than
thousands of lead and iron; because by means of it
the life of Tampico—its commerce—will be with
drawn from it and attracted hitherward, leaving the
dherents of ituloaga in defence ot a worthless car
case, a city without resources. We believe also
that instead ot injuring, this decree will be a very
great advantage to our own frontier towns, because
it wiil attract the metchauls to the frontier, who,
t ough they will eagerly avail themselves of its
liberal invitation to introduoe their wares, will b*
cautious in doing so to any great exleut until they
become convinced of the permanency of the move
men!
“ By a friend just iit from San Fernando we learn
that the Liberals, under Gov. Garza aud Colonel
Garcia, had uot up to a few days past, attacked
Tampico, though they were marching thitherward
witli the full determination of doing so. The Libe
rals reported, by those who have been in both
camps, to be rather destitute in provisions and arms,
while their enemies are well supplied with both.
But the former, though some of them were march
ing w ithout shoes and in ragged shirts. Were in
high spirits and euthusiastie of success. We know
the two commanders’ well—both have smelt pow
der, and we doubt uot will be able on their re
turn to render a good account of themselves.
“ We are credibly informed by gentlemen just ar
rived here from the scene of warfare, that Gov.
Garza and Gen. Garcia were encamped with their
forces between Altamira and Tampico. They were
wailing the arrival of about fiOO men then on the
march to join theta.’’
The purser of the General Rusk, in reference to
the decree declaring Matamoros a free port, informs
us, that on the 21st, Pepe Carazos, commissioner
from Gov. Garza, arrived at Matamoros with the
decree. Whether the same privilege is extended to
the other towns along the frontier, he says, was not
known when the General Rusk left.
Letters from Monterey, the purser says, arrived
at Matamoros on the 24th, stating that Vidaurri
had issued a proclamation declaring that all persona
owing on property soid by the Church (which is
sold frequently ou five or Bix years’ credit,) should
pay him 25 per cent of the amount due on it, which
would put hint in possession of some to
$200,001). The letteis fluffier stated that a battle
was expected eoon to take pines between the Con
stitutionalists and Zuleaga's party at San Luis
Potoai, at which place about $2,00u,0t)0, en > oute
for the frontier, was shut up.
Tiie Brownsville Flag, in a notice of the Sierra
Madre country, remarks :
“The immense country bordering on the chains
of the Sierra north, south, east and west, is* com
pletely imbedded with all kinds ofTick ores, which
will lake ages upon ages to even begin au explora
tion of its depths. It is beyond the comprehension
of ‘nan, with all his ingenuity and ecientific resea
ches, to undertake au estimate of the fabulous
wealth that now lies dormant in those mountains,
where the foot of civilized man never made an
impress. The eyes of enterpri-ing men will even
tually be turned tow'ards those rich spots, and our
country will begin to assume a position com
mensurate with its natural resources. Sugarcane
will he extensively cultivated ; coffee in the lower
part of tiie States of Tamaulipae aud in Vera Cruz
will be grown to perfection, and all the tropi cal pro
Auctions flourishing in exuberance as far up as the
25th parallel oftatitude.”
We learn from the Flag that Col. Loekridge had
arrived at Brownsville.
The Flag, referring to the act of the Texas Legis
lature, passed at the late session, whereby a flxed
value of one dollar peV acre was placed upon the
public lands of the State, remarks:
“This, it is hoped, will attract attention to the
targe bodies ot titled lands of this valley. It may
seem strange, but it is, nevertheless, true, that lands
in the Rio Grande Valley—lauds that cannot be
surpassed by any in the State or in the South—
lands that will mature sugar cane of over twenty
joints to the stock—lands upon which have been
produced two excellaot crops of corn to the year—
lias been sold, and cau now be bought, at one thou
sand dollars a league—actually less than twenty
five cents au acre ! This is for river lands. Farth
er back trom the river wo know of several tracts
that can yet be purchased for five hundred dollars
a league, or about twelve and a half cents an acre !
We have seen much of the State, and we have seen
lands inferior to those to which we allude selling
readily at from ten to twenty dollars an acre, and
the day is uot ten years distant when the Rio
Grande lands will command a greater price. Na
ture has given us greater ficilities, more natural ad
vantages than any other portion of the State. We
have a perennial climate, iu which the thermometer
rarely descends to the freezing point, aud as rarely
rises to that extreme heat; we have a soil than
which the banks of Egypt’s Nile are not richer ; we
have a ready market for everything produced, and
a navigable stream at all seasons to bear off into our
own country or into Mexico all the sutplus that can
be produced for the next fifty years. Now is the
time for investments.”
Night Scenes at Lucknow.— These are simply
the day occurrences, which were followed by the
long, dreary nights. We would sit for hours, ex
pecting every moment to be attacked. Officers
would come round, and say, iu a solemn rnauner,
“ The Brigadier requests that you will be particu
larly on the alert ’ Here and there, by the glim
mer of a miserable lamp, you observe the pale,
care-worn faces of half a dozen volunteers. One
man loading his musket, another looking at his pis
tol, aud a third filling his catridge box. One of the
party would presently shoulder his musket, and go
off to stand on sentry, whilst another dived down
in mine, to see that the enemy were not getting un
der our house. Presently you would hear the sud
den cry of the sentry’ calling out that, “ the enemy
were advancing.” Then cume out the rattle of
musketry, followed by the cry of “ Turn out” on all
sides. Now you hear the grape strike against our
batteries and earth works; the musket bullets fly
over in showers; round shot come through our walls;
and loud above all, you distinguish the sound of the
enemy's clarions, and numberless bugles blowing
the “advance.” Now and then, midst the roar of ar
tillery, you could hear the elephants tramping as they
were made to drag heavy guns from position to po
sition, and the change ol direction of a shot imme
diately after told plainly that the enemy had moved
a gun.
We remained perfectly quiet too, generally, so
that they might not know how many we mustered.
We let them fire away, and waited patiently to lis
ten if they were creeping through the long grass
that grew all around our entrenchments, and strain
ed our eyes to see in the darkness. Every now and
then we fancied we saw the figure of a man, and
then it seemed as suddenly to disappear. Some
times the moon, shining on the leaves of the castor
oil tree, used to look like men’s turbaus, and more
than once we were induced to fire at them. Every
now and then you heard orderj given to load the
guns with “grape” over the “round shot,” and our
men would be seen running for hand grenades, &c.,
to be all ready iu case of a rush at out position In
the meantime you would see litttle streaks of fire
passiug rapidly over your head, and some seemed
as if they were coming light, down upon you.—
Then you suddenly heard a loud report, and the cry
that followed told you our shells were bureting
among the enemy. Soon you heard a sharp whiz
over your head, and you would see a huge splinter
of a shell bury itself in a wail close to you or praba
bly plough up a foot of the earth close to where you
stood, so that often we were in as much danger of
being killed by our own shells as by the enemy’s shot
—these splinters often come back some hundred
yards. —Captain A nder soil's Siege of Lucknow.
Cotton Planter —We have witnessed within a
few days past the trial of the Cotton Planter inven
ted and not long since patented by Thomas W.
White, Esq., of this city. We were in company
with several good planters at the time, and its per
formance exceeded any thing we thought could
have been effected by machinery in planting cot
ton All were pleased. Some of our largest plan
ters have ordered their plantation supply. They
are made at the Penitentiary.
The “Planter” opens the furrow, the seed are
dropped as thickly as desired, and then are covered
by it. The great advantage of its use is the regu
larity with which the seed are dropped, the quanti
ty saved, and the economy in time and labor. A
half bushel of seed will plaDt one half mile. Smaller
seed even than cotton can be drilled from it. It is
destined, in our judgment to come into general use.
We congratulate the planter upon the invention.

Fatal Accident.—We understand that an acci
dent occurred a few days since on the branch road
leading from the main trunk of the P. and G. R. R.
to Monticello, resulting in the immediate death of
Mr. William Ware ana a severe fracture of a leg of
his overseer. Mr. Ware and his overseer were en
gaged in conversation near where a tree was being
cut down, which in falling came in contact with a
leaning tree, and was thrown from its course with
the above melancholy result.— Madison (Fla.) Mes
senger.
Scicide.—We learn that Henry Linstedt, a young
German, shot himself at half-past eleven o’clock
last night, with a pistol, at the house of John H.
Rickers, at the corner of Mary and Nassau streets.
Mr. Rickers retired to bed at eight o’clock, and
Linstedt at ten o’clock —both sleeping in the same
bed. Mr. Rickers was awakened at the hour above
mentioned, by the discharge of a pistol, <md upon
procuring a light, found that Linstedt was dead, he
having discharged the contents of the pistol into his

The Troops for UTAH.—The regular troops in

Augusta—lts Merchants aud Trade.
The following very flattering notice of our City,
its Trade aud Merchants, we copy from the Edge
field Advertiser :
Augusta—Her Trade.—We of Edgefield should
hold ourselves fortunate in being so conveniently
near to this brisk, enterprising aud useful city.—
Besides beiug decidedly the most promiueut busi
ness mart of Georgia, Augusta is rapidly growing
to be oue of the most important market towus of
the Southern States. Her railroad connections,
now tuuuingout in almost every direction, are
making het one of the most considerable depots of
Southern produce; aud this central position, under
the auspices of good banks and a high order of busi
ness energy and skill, is steadily working out few
her a commercial luture, wtiii-h must redound great
ly to the prosperity of her own people and to the
advantage ot all her surrounding country. Already
does she afford taeilities iu many departments of
trade which few Northern towns, and none iu her
own latitude, can surpass. Her cotton merchants,
her produce dealers, her grocers, her dry goods
men, her manufacturers and her mechanics, are su
potior to those of any city of her size from Mary
land tei Texas. In some respects she has the advan
tage of even her larger competitors of the seaboard
—especially so in the important depaitment of
country produce. She is fortunate moreover in
possessing an active and enterprising class ot lead
mg business men—men who are ambitious of a well
grounded success for their city, and who spare
neither pains nor the outlay of their means to at
tain it. To back these laudable aims of hercapi
talists, she also numbers n long list of vigilant, ac
commodating and skillful dealers in the various
branches of trade—dealers who, acting upon the
idea that “a nimble sixpence is better than a slow
shilling,” present inducements that not ouly draw
custom from the country around, but fond ma’erial
ly to assist the growth of the city's population and
her consequent prominence aud usefulness. It is
from this point of view that we regard the beauti
ful city of Augusta, in congratulating the people of
Edgefield, and ail others on the South Carolina side
of the Savauuah who are convenient to her, upon
their good fortune in being thus advantageously lo
cated. It is because they thus are in the enjoyment
of facilities which few communities in the Souih,
and none certainly in Carolina, oau claim to possess
Is there any room, for instance, to compare th fa
cilities offered by Columbia with those of Augusta ?
And if not —(as . very one must concede) —a con
trust cannot surely be instituted as to or
New berry, or Winusboro, or any other of our rising
points of trade. Augusta has overwhelmingly the
advantage of them all whether as to location, aliili
ty, or strength of population,- and the people of
Edgefield, railroad or no railroad, have in her such
a commercial emporium as no other community in
Smith Carolina enjoys. We Go uot even except the
surroundings of Charleston herself, partly for the
reason that they consist chiefly in swamps and frog
ponds; but even if in place of these there were a
population like our own, it would be only iu a few
things that their position would excel ours.
It may perhaps be suggested that we overslaw
old Hamburg in these allusions to Augusta. Not
at all. Hamburg and Augusta are one and the
same city iu effect; aud we are glad to know Uiat
the people of the two places are willing to be re
garded thus, ol course we mean as to ail commer
cial purposes. Whether our Hamburg friends are
willing to this construction or not, is it not true that
Augusta is gradually abaorbiug both them aud their
trade ? But however this may be, the two [daces
are aa oue to us iu the remarks we here make. We
have them both in view, when we say that Edge
field is better located, as to market privileges, t ian
any other district in South Carolina. We hope that
Hamburg’s lamp may hold out to burn, particularly
in the cotton buying business ; but it it should uot.
Augusta’s certainly wifi. As an established Soutii
eru city, her place upon the utup is likely never to
be less promiuent than it now is. The chance3 are
many that it will become more and more eonspicu
ous with every succeeding year. We trust so at
any rate, uot only for the sake of the advantages
our people would thus have insured to them as it
were, but on account too of her own clever popu
lation and their most laudable spirit of progress
Let us. hope then that the people of Edgefield will
not be slow to appreciate their advantages iu this
respect, end to profit by their use. Iu encouraging
Augusta, we encourage a young city whose l'uturi
prosperity cau but act most favorably upon our
own weltare;—we lie pto create not only anempu
rium of trade at oar doors, but a place where we
and our children may occasionally hear and see
whatever of excellence the tine arts may display or
science may bring to light, and that too wittiou:
either loss of time or of money ;—we assist iu
erecting (it may be) a Southern metropolis almost
within view of our homes; aud we also thus show
ourselves to our Georgia neighbors in the light of
brethren whose social and political affinities are not
tramelled by territorial limits, or at least whose
business negotiations are not, held subject to such
metes and boundaries. Once more then we sav,
let us help Augusta, for in so doing we help our
selves and encourage Southern progress.
The Mexican “Outrages” upon American
Citizens. —The San Antonio (Texas) Herald, of the
18th iußt., lias a long communication from its own
correspondent, at Fori Mclntosh, (Laredo, Texas,)
in relation to the alicdged outrages by the Mexicans
upon American citizens, and of which we have had a
brief report by telegraph. Wo make the following
extracts, containing the substantial facta of the com
munication :
Official and certain information lias been receiv
ed by Captain A. G. Brackett, U S. A., command
ing at this post, that certain citizens of the United
States, residing about seventy miles below this, in
this State, had been kidnapped, and forced into the
ranks of one of the contending I ons of Mexico.
Isay faction, though it was done i. the dominant
aud ruling party. Yes, such is the t.
From one offence to another, they uvo gone on,

and forced detention of our slaves, w oeeeutrea

These have gone unavenged. The blood 1 Porter

the Rio Grande aud Sait Antonio could |en its
pores and give back to the sight of all the id il
has thus foully drank, how many desolat■> pots
would wear the hue and mark of murder 1 any
we know of, have thus disappeared, and how i ; ny
more eternity alone can disclose.
And now, ail this done with impunity, their r
ing takes another step, and our citi*ens are
pressed into their army.
At a meeting of the citizens of Webb countv
Texas, held iu the court house of Laredo, on th
13th ol March, the following preamble and resolu
tions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, we have certain and p .sitive informa
tion that the alcalde ot Guerrero, Mexico, has seiz
ed citizens of Webli county, Texas, aud has violent
ly forced them to take arms as Mi-xioan soldiers,
knowing they were citizens of the United States.
1. Be it Eesohed, That we view, with the utmost,
indignation, outrages upon the rights anil persons
of tne United States citizens, perpetrated by Mexi
can officials.
2. Resolved, That such acts on the part of Mexi
can authorities demand, in justice, full and prompt
reparation to the honor nnd dignity of the national!
ty ot the United States.
3. Resolved, That we consider these overt acts of
Mexican officials as flagrant breaches of the laws of
nations, justifying, if unatoned, a declaration of
war. m
4. Resolved, That wo call, on the commanding
general of this military department to take such
measures as may be within his power to protect our
citizens from the hostile designs entertained against
their sacred liberties by the Mexican officials along
tiie line ot the Rio Grade iu general, and those of
Guerrero in particular.
Resolved, That we call the attention of the
Ge island State Governments to the continuous
on* *s which desolate the frontier line of the Rio
Gra 1 ; that the line of the Kto Graude is nosuffi
cient t tional boundary, as Indian war parties
and or Linalspass it easily, and set our authorities
at defi <e.
C. R ved, That we transmit to the command
ing geu lit this department, and to the Governor
ofthisStt 1 aeopy of these resolutions, and also to
various n > papers.
7. Reso. r , That in the conduct of Capt. Albert
G. Braoke < Cavalry, commanding at Fort Me
Intosh, who as demanded the immediate libera
tion of all A i rican citizens seized as soldiers by
the Mexican i horities of Guerrero, we find and
appreciate the allant Bpit it of the soldier, and the
patriotism whi should ever guard the covenant of
our liberties.
Voluntary E oration. —The emigration of
the native Africa t egro, who binds himself as an
apprentice for a giv (n number of years, is about as
voluntary on his pai as the act of the waylaid trav
eler who makes a fr, gift of his watch and money
to the highway robb who demand them. A cor
respondent of the Phiudelphia Ledger, who board
ed a French emigrant hip on the coast, of Africa,
conversed with sevei . of these voluntary emi
grants, and obtained their views upon the subject.
He says:
“ They informed me that they were on board
against their own will; that the chiefs would not
send any of their free people away, but would readi
ly furnish their slaves for sixteen dollars per head—
the price formerly given by slavers; that they wer**
brought to the vessel in fetters-, that they were anxious
to leave the vessel, and hoped that. I would do whal
I could to secure that end. The chief are not par
ticular about the name, and would just as soon have
it known as the ernigraut system as any other so
long as it opened a market for their captives.”
Respecting the “peculiar institution,” as it exists
in Africa, the writer remaks :
“Domestic slavery is an ancient institution of the
natives, from which we have nothing to fear, if n<*
foreign influence tampers with their passions, and
rekindles the spirit of war to supply this demand
for labor. All captives are reduced to slavery, and
they, like philosophers, submit to their fate. ’
Considering that the‘negro is destined to continue
a slave, if he remains at home, it might be supposed
that he would have little objection to emigrate.—
However, if he is compelled to do so, it is about Un
same thing to him whether he goes as a slave, a
voluntary emigrant, or an apprentice for twenty
nine years. To him at least there is no practical
difference in the several systems, however others
may be pleased to view it— Bait. Amer.
The Religious Awakening.— lt is staled that
about 1000 persons have hopefully converted
in Cleveland, Ohio, within a few weeks past, 600
in New Bedford, 300 or 400 in Newburyport, 2,000
or 3.000 in Newark and vicinity. Home chaff among
the wheat must be expected, but after making a I
due allowances the work in the above places, anil
in many others throughout, the Union, including
New York and neighboring cities, has been great
and glorious. Nor has it vet ceasedor even di
miniehed in most of the places from which we
hear, while every day new towns and districts
are added to the list of those thus highly favored
The following paragraph from the Episcopal Re
corder, may be commended to all who are afraid to
rejoice in the general awakening because of some
improprieties :
“ Though there may be mixed with this w ork—
as with every great movement deeply affecting
many minds—some disorders and extravagance i
that are painful and to be deplored, the general tes
timony is that these are the ♦ xception, not the rule.
They are but the froth and drift upon the stream
that indicate the power with which it moves. In
the mass of instances the religious influence seerm
to come down softly, like the dew, increasing here
and there to the fullness of a gentle shower ; while
among the Methodists of course the rush as of a
summer's gale accompanies the rain. But if, aa ap
pears to be the case, the Holy Spirit is indeed pour
ed out ; if, under his influence, the powers of the
world to come are realized, eternal realities take
strong hold upon men’s minds, and the affections of
multitudes are fixed upon the Saviour and the things
above; if anew life is lived and loftier objects are
pursued, what are a few’ disorders in comparison

Washington Items —After the passage or rejec
tion of Lecoinpton rumor asserts that oilier agita
tions are in stole for the country. The President
wiil spring such issues upon the public as the pur
chase of Cuba, or its violent seizure upon the princi
ples ot the Ostend Manifesto, and the annexation of
all Mexico, involving the payment of Her foreign and
domestio debt, amounting to $2U0,0110,000. The an
nexatio'i of Mexico to the Uuittd States, or its sub
jugation by means of a protectorate, will probably
be favored by Great Britain and France. Subjects
of those countries are proprietors of the foreign debt
of Mexico, about $100,1101',000, aud are largely inter
ested in that represented by home creditors.

McCulloch, and several others. The practice was
continued from noon, till sundown. Secretary
H'loyd tired five shots, with Sharp's carbine, and put
all in the target, at three hundred yards. Col. Ro
berts carried off the mo£d marks, and also put the
‘uly shot in the white. At the close of the day the
marks stood thus in the target, 300 yards, Sharp’s
rifle, manufactured at Bradford, Ct., 51 ; Morse's
ride, 33; Colt's, 8; Gould’s, 3. After the conclu
sion of the trial, an agent of Sharp’s fired ten shots
in forty seconds. Subsequently, at 600 to 750 yards,
seven shots were put in the target, iuoludiug three
by Col. Roberta. Another trial comes off soon at
the Navy Yard.
_.Col Johnston, in his latest offioial despatch, says
that the Mormon troops are organized to resist the
establishment of a Territorial Government by the
United States, and in furtherance of that object
have erected works of defence in the mountain
passes, and near Salt Lake City. lie does not be
lieve that a spirit of conciliation toward them would
now be properly appreciated ; it would rather be
wrongly interpreted. In view of the treasonable
temper and feeling pervading the leaders and greater
portions of the Mormons, he thinks that neither the
honor nor dignity of the Government will allow the
slightest concession ; they should be made to sub
imt to the constitutional and legal demands of the
Government unconditionally. An adjustment of
the existing difliculiies on any other basis would be
nugatory. The threat to oppose the march of the
troops ii the spring will not have the slightest influ
’ nee in delaying it, and if they desire to join issue,
he believeß that it is for the interest of the Govern
ment that they shall have an opportunity.
Washington Items. —The Navy Department

The rumor that the President had prepared a
message on Spanish affairs, which he would submit
as soon as Congress had disposed of the Kansas
question, is said to be well founded only to this ex
teut: For several weeks the relation of ttie United
States with Spain and her dependencies have been
matter of debate and inquiry on thepuilof the
Cabinet. No message has been written, the ques
tion still being left on the tapis, and the particular
action to be recommended yet undetermined; but
we learn from high authority that the President is
resolute to adhere, in all emergencies which may
arise in the progress of the controversy, to the Mon
roe doctrine. While desiring the acquisition of

Texas Items. —From all quarters of Texas the
most favorable reports are received in regard to the
prospects of the coming crop.
Our planters are buny, says the State Gazette,
from “dewy morn to silent eve,” preparing their
lands for planting. A great amount of new land
will be placed in cultivation, not only in this but in
other counties of the State.
The Crockett Printer says : “We are assured by
old farmers that the fruit trees have not, been harm

are in lull bloom and tho- promise of the harvest ie
abundant.”
The Palestine Advocate thinks the West has beat

i here is every prospect of the renewal of labor
on the railroad to Columbus. The company have
diawn $150,000 from the State Treasury aud the

the . nek of three miles more is laid. There are 27
mile i raded between Richmond and Columbus,
andt i remaining distance to Eagle Lake will be

The ! arris on Flag, of March 6th, says :
The pa senger cars for the Southern Pacific rail
road hav ■ arrived at Swanson s Landing, in that
county. The cars are reported to be making two
trips each day, carry ing off quantities of the cotton
which has been and is still accumulating along the
line. The disadvantages under which the enter
prise has labored have disappeared in a great mea
sure, and the prospects of success are brightening.
A species ot cotton called Rose Cotton, excelling,
in firmness of the lint and length of the staple, the
kind ordinarily produced, has been sold in Galves
ton at a price above the market value of the Mexi
can Gult cotton. Asa new variety, it promises to
be a decided iinprov- ment.
The Brownsville Flag says mules and horses are
commanding a much higher prices in Mexico than
heretofore. Still the trade is brisk. The Flag also
gives an account of a battle at Solis, Nuevo Leon,
between Gen. Escobede and Gen. Cruz, id which
the former, a constitutionalist, was victorious.

Homicide in Fort Gaines. —We learn from a
private source that on Sunday morning last, an al
tercation occurred at Fort Gaines. Georgia, be
tween Mr. Alexander Marshall and Mr. Warren
Sutton, in which the latter was killed. The diffi
culty, we understand, grew out of an old law suit
of several years standing, in which much persona!
feeling and acrimony were engendered. On Sun
day night a case was determined between th* pa
ties, and on Sunday morning they met. when Satur
ton fired a pistol at Marshall twice without taking
effect, when Marshall returned the fire, and then
pulled out his bowie-knife and stabbed Sutton to the
heart, causing his death almost instantly. The
parties were both men of high standing in the |com

The Grand Duke, or Badkn State Lottery.
—ln Friday’s Herald we noticed the arrest of
Charles M.iiler, an agent for an alleged German lot
tery and p >licy concern known as the Grand Duk j.
or Laden State Lottery,of Frankfort, Germany, and
agent for the New York Exportation Society. O*
Friday afternoon, officer George F. Brand, of the
Mayor's equad, who arrested Miller, proceeded to
the headquarters of this alleged bogus concern aui
succeeded .n finding a large quantity of slip-3,
blanks, tickets to the number of several thousand,
two large lottery wheels tilled with tickets, and the
books oi the concern, showing an extensive corres
pondence with purchasers of tickets, not only in this
city, but in every State of the Union and the British
Provinces. Miller, the alleged agent for these lot
tery and policy schemes, advertises himself as a
hoxnoepathic physician has a numerous assortment
of homeopathic medicines in his place in Canal-street.
The manner in which he has been operating in
( his city by selling tickets for his enterprises was
by advertising for parties to act as agents for his
medicines, at the same time giving those who felt
dispose and to run the risk a largo percentage for s fl
ing tickets in the lottery. His schemes are headed
as established by a company called the Trade Com
pany of New York,” or “ New York Exportation
Society. The shares offered number 10,000, far
which he represents 10,000 premiums, consisting ot*
splendid finished furniture, pianos, jewelry, engrav
ings, dry goods, &c., put up by a large number of
most respectable manufacturers (the names of whom
are not given) in the city. To secure a chance &
purchaser must pay two dollars for a ticket, which
it is alleged, will draw a pr ze of from one to two
hundred dollars, and if further instalment!) are made
the prize to increase in proportion
The Grand Duke, or Baden State lottery, of
which Miller, it is alleged, is the agent, is said to be
located in Frankfort-ou the-Main, Germany, con
ducted by Martiz Stiebel & Son. The prizes rep
resented to be drawn in this alleged lottery amount
losums varying from $9.1*00 to $2,782,00(1, which
are to be drawn on the 3ist of March, 31st ot
August, and 30th of November Among those
whom it is alleged have au interest in the concern
i;re M A. Van Rothschild & Sons, John Goll Sc
Son, Frankfort, aud S. Vau Huber,Sons, Curiarude,
Germany. In this lottery hundreds of Germans
have been iuduced to take chances without any
fortunate result. All the papers, books, & 0., se
cured by officer Brandt were conveyed to the
Mayor’s office and locked up. Miller was taken to
the Tombs and committed tor examination. At the
time of his arrest he handed to the above officer
SSOO if he would give him his liberty and allow him
to escape. This is one of the most important arrests
that has been made by the Mayor’s squad, and offi
cer aud Brandt, who has worked alone in the oase,
is deserving of great credit for securing Miller ana
the property found ou the place, as a number of
Miller’s friends were trying their utmost to get
away tho lottery wheels, books, &o.— N. Y. Herald.
The Revolution in Venezuela.— The bark

success.
On tho Uth, intelligence reached Laguayra that
Gen. Castro, of Barquisimeto, had approaohed the
town of La Victoria—2s miles from Caracas —with
a force of 4,000 men, well armed and equipped.—
the Mouagas parly had only 1,500 men, were in no
condition to attempt a vigorous resistance. The
two armies had be n in sight of each other for a
week. All the available forces of Monagas at Ca
racas and Laguayra had been sent by the govern
ment party, and not a soldier was to be seen at
either place.
President Monagas had oeid. off two of his sons
secretly at midnight to Barcelona, for succor.
The country was thrown into eoufusiou, and gene
ral alarm pervaded all clat-ses.
Puerto Cabello was captured by the Revolution

of ten thousand men marched on Caracas and sum

refused and declared the city in a state of seige.
Revival of Business in Connecticut.—Busi
ness is reviving among the manufacturers iu Wind
ham county, Conn. At Putnam, one of the most
important points on the Norwich and Worcester
road, more than half the spindles are now at work.
At Dauielsonville the mills of the Danielson Com
pany commenced operations two weeks since; the
large mill of the (juiinebaugh Company started a
little earlier. In the east part of the same towu
where, on a Piuall stream, there were a lew days
since, half a dozen inoperative mills iu the space of
mile, a week hence will show the same number in
full operation. The large cotton mill ot E. S. Young,
at Chestnut Hill, East Killingly, started ou Wed
nesday. The same improvement in business is noted
farther south, and in Norwich every mill is running
on mil time. 1 n West lord, Conn., a glass factory
was pul in operation a few weeks sinew, by a joint
slock company, with a capital of $20,000. More
thau that, sum has been expended.
Mercantile Agency Communications Privi
leged.—The Supreme Court of New York haa
given the opinion that communications of mercan
tile agencies affecting a man's business are “privi
leged,” if there is no malice in the statement made.
The Court said:
“It four bankers in Wall street should associate
themselves together for the purpose of ascertaining
the chaiacter and standing of their correspondents
in Boston, and should select one of their number,
and pay his expenses to Boston for that purpose,
and he should, ou his return, state that he ascertain
ed Mr. Jones, of Boston, was a man of bad oharao
ler—that he had committed many outrages against
society—that he was a forger—and he communica
ted that to his four associates in the confidential re
lation in which they stood, it would be a privileged
oofiimunrorvt'ton, a u<4 no notion rrmtld tie, nil tees ex
press malice were showu Now, it is difficult to
see how there would be any difference between four
men and twenty-tour, or any number associated for
the purpose of gaining honest aud trulhlul informa
tion ot this description, and without malicious mo
tives; and l am not able to say why the informa
tion giveu by this commercial agency, so far as it
appear* before the Court, may not come uuder the
class of privileged communications, if made in a
proper manner, and without any evil intent and
malicious motive, aud if made in good faith and
honesty.”
This is an important decision to merchants and
business men generally.

INCREASE OF SPEED ON TH E OCEAN.—The fol
lowing extract of a letter received by E. K. Collins
Esq., showing the great gain in steam power by
adopting the method of Messrs. Welhered Bro., of
Baltimore, for using Bteatn, isofßome importance in
the present age:
Mr. Mills, the Engincer-in-Chief of the West In
dian and Brazil Royal Mil Steamship Company
writes under date of the 12th ult., that the mail
steamship Avon has just returned from a voyage
from Southampton to Rio Janeiro aud back, gain
ing three days on her passage each way, and with
twenty two per cent, less coal. By Dr Ranney’a
tables, iu the “Ocean Bilot,” page 76, it will be
seen that to have gained one knot—the Avon did
more—would have required one third more fuel, or,
in other words, requiring fifty-five per cent, more
luel, with ordinary steam, to have gained the same
result.
The same method applied to the Collins steam
ers would shorten their trips across the Atlantic at
least twelve hours. It would enable the Adriatio,
for instance, to make the passage to Liverpool in
eight days with ease.
BICKNE9S IN Naples.— Mr. Bryant, iu a private
letter from Naples, dated March 2, thus alludes to
the sickm ss prevailing there at present:
‘•Our physician tells me that the deaths amount to
three and sometimes four huudred dally, while the
usual average number is but eighty. Bronchitis,
rheumatic lever and fevers running into the typhoid
type, sweep the inhabitants oi Naples into the
Campo Santo like the plague or the cholera. The
mortality is chiefly among the poorer classes, who
have no comfortable shelter in extreme cold weath
er, but tbe opulent do not escape. The streets
swarm with funerals, and funerals here are a showy
and ghastly masquerade. That has been our Car
nival in Naples, which once had the gayest Car
nivals in the world ; the Government now allows
no other.”
The Removal or Judge Loring —The main
ground assumed by Governor Banks for removing
Judge Loring is based on a statue of Massacbusetta
that a judicial officer of the Gornmon wealth shall
not hold at the same time the office of United Htates
commissioner. A dispatch from Boston says :
A motion to refer the Governor's message remov
ing Judge Loring to a select committee led to an
exciting discussion between Mr. Cushing, of New
buyport, and Andrews, of Boston; the former
deneuncingt.be consummated act as the triumph of
monomaniacs and fanatics, and the latter defending
it as the just act of the executive, which w.ll be
hailed with gladness from one end of the State to
the other. No question on the reference was taken.

No More Madeira. —A Funchal correspondent
of the London Times says that it is not an open
question whether any mor„ Madeira wine will ever
he produced. None has been made sinoe 1851 and
there are now only some 7 or 8,000 pipes upon the
entire Island. All recent attempts to manufacture
this wine have utterly failed, and pumpkin vinee
now adorn the old grape arbors, once covered with
abundant clusters of rich grapes. Per contra we
have the best authority for saying that instead of 7
or 8,000, there are not more than 3,000 pipes udoq
the island.
