From the Athens Banner. The msunionists Backing oat! In our last week’s paper we took occasion to notice the change of position in the Augusta Constitutionalist from “ secession the only rem dy ” for its supposed aggression upon South ern rights contained in the late adjustment bills of Congress, to a nominal profession of at tachment still to the Union, and a condemna tion of all measures of immediate dissolution We left the editor of that print floundering in the mud of non-intercourse as the rightful rem edy for the direful evils which he apprehends to have been inflicted upon the Booth in the late acts of pacification. What a glorious sub stitute he has found out for that “ secession ” he so much admired a short time since in his brother fire-eater of the Columbus Times ! Non-intercourse — legal, not voluntary, non-in tercourse with the North is now his position, unless he has changed, as usual, that point of defence for some other which his teeming im agination may suggest! That is to say, we must have a penalty annexed to the pur chase by our citizens or merchants of articles of Northern manufacture—and that is to say that we must have a tariff of protection to Southern against Northern manufacturers ! Glorious cons'stency, this, of a frek-tradi journal which has, heretofore, moved Heaven and Earth for the right of eacn citizen of Geor gia to purchase British instead of Northern fabrics, if they could purchase them cheaper— in short, of buying where they can buy cheapest, and selling where they can sell dearest! And all this too is to be among States bound by a federal alliance, in which free-trade among the states is a fundamental princple of the constitution —without infringing the league— and remaining still in the Union ! Wonderful idea, this, of the editor, for which he should certainly take out a patent under a Southern confederacy—for he would disdain one from a government which has so trampled upon his rights ! Pursuing his notion—how delicoua it would beat any time for a discontented state to roll herself up in her shell like a terrapin, and bask in the sunshine of the Union, whilst sbe was violating one of its fundamental and es sential provisions ! That provision is that “ congress shall have power to regulate com merce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with Indian tribes.*’ Every body knows that a law establishing non intercourse in relation to trade with our Northern confederates, would be regulating commerce among the States, and, of course, direcly in the teeth of the above rec ted clause of the federal constitution. If so. then it fol lows that we should redress an alleged infrac tion of the constitution our Northern con- 1 federates, by another infraction on our part, and thus we should have the ridiculous picture presented of a state claiming to remain within the Union, whilst she, herself, is in open de fiance of its authority by a palpable breach of the constitution. This is the beautiful thought of old South Carolina nullification about the tariff, revived and applied to a different sub ject, as if the delicate nature of the subject «*ould impart to it a philosophy which it did not possess in the days when it was so univer sally condemed by public opinion. Great idea, this, of remaining within the Union, and still in open resistance to its constitutional authority ! We wonder if a ten year old boy will not know better in Haifa century from the present time ? We rather think he will. Leaving, now, our contemporary of the Con stitutions st to his incoherent reveries about legal non-intercourse with the North, and, at the same lime, remaining within the pale of the Union, let us see how stands that shining light of Georgia ultraism, hight the Federal Union, which revolves about the seat of Gov ernment, and casts its radiance over a whole state because of its being the state government organ and of its central position. Until lately it was a furious disunionist. Speaking of the late adjustment of the slavery question by Congress, it wonid have none of it—it must have “ our rights in the Union if possible, but out of it if we must.” But it has, like its co worker of the Constitutionalist, “ seen the ele phant ” of late—it has heard storms, which no editor can live and disobey, in favor of the “ glorious union.” The popoular vioce is mattering its wrath in unwistakeable tones from the seaboard to the mountains, and from the Savannah to the Chattahoochee, against the daring attempt by a few factionists to sever the bonds which bind Georgia in federal com munion with her sister state, and thus setting the example to other states that await her lead, to dissolve the confederacy amidst its unavoid able concomitants of furious civil and ser vile WARS BURDENSOME TAXES —STANDING armies —and finally a military despotism. Our contemporaries of the Constitutionalist and the Federal Union have heard this voice of rebuke, and are evidently whipped into submission to the popular decree. Why, else, do they not fight the battles of “ secession ” or disunion, as they first begun ? Listen now to the subdued and puling tones of the once fire-eating and belligerent organ of Gov. Towns, the Federal Union : “ The true Platform what the Convention ought not, and what it ought to do." 1. The Convention ought not and will not meet and do nothing. For years past, both the great political parties of the Slate have been vieing with each other in denunciations of Northern aggression and expressions of de termined resistance. Each stands pledged to the other, to the South and to the whole world, that they would not submit to the exclusion of slavery from the territories, nor to its abolition in the District of Columbia. The first of these outrages upon theSou-.h hasalready been per petrated ; and Congress by its recent act abol ishing the slave trade, has asserted the right and evinced its willingness to inflict the other ! For the Georgia Convention, then, to assemble, do nothing and adjourn, would render her not on ly ridiculous in her own eyes, but worthy of ihe pity and contempt of her oppressors. Such a course would be emphatically declaring to them that all we have heretofore said is emp ty bravado, and that our necks are now ready f»r any yoke that they may be pleased to fasten upon them. 2- The Convention ought not, and will not decide upon separate and independent State action. There are some among us who are the avowed advocates of secession. The pub lic at large are not fully advised what they mean by this measure. Few, if any es them, we imagine, favor immediate secession, and fewer still, the secession of Georgia by herself. What then ought the Convention to do. 1. It ought carefully to examine into and de liberate upon the merits as a remedy of non intercourse ; of retaliation by reprisals and a system of discriminating taxation. If these or any other similar measures within the Consti tution, promise success, and can unite the Convention and the people, they shoud bea opted. 2. If these remedies, after examination, are found impracticable or inefficient, let the Con vention—the sovereignty of Georgia—by as solemn ordinance, then assert her rights in the territories, protest against the injustice by which she has been excluded from them as Well as a gainst all the other violations of the national compact by which her rights and interests have been assailed. Let the Convention by anoth er solemn ordinance propose to all the slave holding States, that they unite with her -m sending delegates to a common Convention, which Convention shall meet in the course of the ensuing year, consult their common wrongs and take such course as in their wisdom shad be most conducive to their future security, the honor, the interests and the rights of the people of the slaveholding States. It is not expected even that this Conven tion of all the South, shall adopt as the remedy, the secession of all the Southern Stales, till it has presented its ultimatum to the North, and the States there, a reasonable time to re trace their steps —an opportunity of furnishing, if not indemnity for the past, some guaranties for the future security of the South. In the mean time, the Slates of the South, can be ma king all necessary arrangements, for their mu tual defence, and preparing themselves for any contingency that may await th^m.” How are the mighty fallen! Why ! Mr. Ed itor, were you not a Missouri line mau—a 36° 30' man at the point of the bayonet like Mr. Lawton of Scriven, who thundered it in our ears at this place a few months ago, and was applauded by his gang—a “coffin line” man, like Judge Colquitt at Macon —did you not le spond to the cry raised at the Macon mass meeting by Doct. Daniel, “disunion — d bunion —and which was re-echoed by the crowd a rouud him? If you did not, where was your voice of condemnation in the glowing accounts you gave of that congregation of immortal southern patriots 7 You were quite belligerent then—but now “women with spits and boys with sticks may slay you in puny bailie . A thirty-six thirty man, at all hazards and to the last extremity, dwindled down into a mere ad vocato for ft convention of the sl&vtholdiug states! opposed to all “separate and indepen dent state action” ! And yet thinks, if the con vention shall so decide, that “non-intercourse , “retaliation by reprisals” or “a system of dis criminatmg taxation, in other words a tar riff in favor c( Southern manufactures which should fleece our citizens of their hard earnings j„ build up fortunes for Southern, instead of Northern nabobs, would be a “marvellous prop er” remedy ! Is not this rich ? for a cloudy headed editor to declare himself opposed, in one breath, to “separate action,” and yet, in the next, to be perfectly willing to accept non intercouse, reprisals, and a system of discrimi nating taxation by the Georgia convention as a proper remedy, if the convention should so decide ! Why, Mr. Editor, will n ot those mea sures be “separata state action”? Certainly. Bui you are willing to take not only these mea sures but “any other similar measures within the pale of the constitotion” —thereby clearly assuming that those are in accordance with the constitution, and making such accor dance an essential requisite to your assent to any remedy which may be .proposed by the convention. “Non-irtercourse” —“reprisals” —and a “system of discriminating taxation” within the pale of the constitution! Whoever heard of such an absurdity since the first days ofSouth Carolina Nullification, when it was contended by many of that school, that North ern fabrics, and Kentucky bagging, mules,and hogs, might, by separate state action and con sistently with the federal constitution, be ex cluded f. om the southern states byway of re taliation for the tariff of ’2B and ’32 ? Time, however, that great test of all humbugs, and cnrer of the insane rhapsodies of politicians, soon put the foolish thought to flight, and the very best that the Nullifiers of that day could do, was to enter into voluntary engagements, that were never carried out, that they would wear no Northern cloth, eat no Tennessee pork, and plough none of the Kentucky loog-eared ani mals ! This was, we believe, the greatest pos sible extent to which it was thought constitu tional resistance could be carried in those days. What dost thou say, thou, “sterling old patriot” as thou art slanderously sometimes called, Ex- Governor Lumpkin? Have you no recollec tion of these things?—lf you have not, history will supply the omission Non intercourse, reprisals, and a system of discriminating taxa tion, constitutional, aad your remedy for the alleged aggressions upon your rights 7 It is too ridiculous for a serious thought—the peo ple will condemn it. Hark te, Girls !— lt is high time that some body told yom a little plain truth. You have been watched for a long time—a certain class of you—and it is plain enough you are trying plans to cheat somebody. You intend to sell chaff for wheat; and there is danger that some of the foolish “gudgeons” will be sadly taken in. It may not be your fault that you belong to the “one idea party,” —that the single idea of getting a husband is the only one that engross es much of your time and attention. But it is your fault that you pursue this idea in a wrong direction. Your venerable mother, of Eden memory, was called a “help” for man, and you are looking for a man to help you; to help you live in the half silly way which you have commenced. Men who are worth having, want women for wives. A bundle of gew gaws, bound with a string of fl-its and quavers, sprinkled with cologne, and set in a carmine saucer, this is no help for a man who expects to raise a family of boy sand girls on veritable bread and meat. The piano and the lace frame are well enough in their places ; and so are ribbons, and frills, and tinsels, but you can’t make a din ner of the former, nor a bed blanket of the latter. And, awful as the idea may seem to you, both dinner and bed blanket are neces sary to domestic enjoyment. Life has its real ities as well as its fancies : but you make it all amatterof decoration—remembering the tassel* and curtains, but forgetting the bedstead. Sup pose a young man of good sense, and of course good prospects, to be looking for a wife, what chance have you to be chosen ? You may cap him, or trap him, or catch him? But how much better to make it an object for him to catch you ? Render yourselves worth catching, and you will need no shrewd moth ers or managing brothers to help you find a market Madame Bishop’s First Sunday Concert. —The New York Day Book says that never was triumph more grand and complete than that which last Sunday night attended the first great Sunday evening concert of Madame Anna Bishop. The magnificent Triplet Hall was filled by upward of three thousand people, and it was altogether the grandest and most imposing performance, says that paper, ever heard iu the United States. The whole of the music was sacred, being sublime selections from Handel, Haydn, and Mercedante. She gives her second sacred concert next Sunday. Concerts of this class are much in vogue in Europe, but there were doubts as to how they would suit the religious scruples of our peo ple — Balt. Sun. Mortality in Sr. Louis—The register kept by Dr. Coleman, clerk of the Board of Health, says there were 3,320 interments in St. Louis from April 1 to October 1, a period of six months, and embracing all the inosi sickly months of the year. Deducting 797 resulting from cholera, and the remaining 2,- 523, will give a daily average, for the 183 days, of 13,66, or a fraction more than 95 weekly in terments. A large Cotton Factory, with a capital of $50,000, is nearly ready for operations at Memphis. Good—this is the way to show loyalty to the south. Develope her immense resources, render her prosperous and indepen dent by diversyfying her pursuits. Huge Lump of Gold —The Sacramento Transcript ofthe 14th ult., says that a report had been received there that a lump of gold and quartz, weighing upwards of four hun dred pounds, had been found near Nevada city. The men who found it were offered $25,000 for it, which they refused. < Chronicle anb Sentinel. A TF G- P’S TA , SA 7 SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26. Movement in New York, The Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday morning contains the subjoined notice of a movement in that city to hold a public meet ing of those disposed to sustain the action of Congress: Impobtant and Dbsibablb Movement.—We learn, from good authority, that a movement is on foot to hold a public meeting, without respect to class or party, of those disposed to abide by the re cent action of Congress with reference to the slavery question, and thereby to make such a demonstration of popular sentiment as shall put an effectual end io the agitation of that subject. In this merchants, tradesmen, laboring men, all are interested, because npou internal peace prosperous commerce depends, uni upon prosperous commerce, the welfare and happiness of the most remote of tbe laboring popula tion. The Herald of the same day has the follow ing article, which we suppose refers to the same movement —although the exuberant fan cy of the Editor has probably suggested the formation of another and distinct party, which we sincerely hope may be true, for we should be pleased to see a party spring into existence throughout the free Stales, pledged to the sup port and maintenance of the Conatitution and the Union. Be this at it may, it is evident from the signs in New York that the political cauldron is very much agitated just now, and we hope it may result in producing a purer political osganization than now exists in that State ; Highly Important Political Movement— An idepenhent Party: —We have recently been informed that a very important move ment, connected with the election which is to take place in this Slate this day fortnight, (sih of November next) is on the the tapis ; which, if successful, will exercise a controlling influence on the result of that struggle, and in a great measure breakdown the spirit of aboli tion fanaticism which is now rampant in the Northern States, threatening to destroy all that, as Americans and republicans, we hold dear, and to ruin this glorious union of States. As far as we understand it, this movement will be a concentration of a number of inde pendent and influential men of all parties, who have arrived at the deliberate conclusion that the time having come when the very existence of our government, and institutions is threaten ed by organized abolitionists, it is necessary for high minded and patriotic men, no matter with what political division they may have been heretofore identified, to step forward, absolve themselves from all party shackles and party domination,and come out boldly in opposition 10 fanaticism, and in defence of the Union, winch all right minded men prize so highly. They intend to organize themselves into a separate and iadenpent parly, with fixed principles, the most prominent and important of which is da votion lo the Union, and to nominate a sepa rate lists of candidates, selected, perhaps, from tho-e put forth by the two old parties, and throw themselves upon the support of the people. It is probable that this new national and in dependent party will, before many days, issue a manifesto, in which they will explain and elu cidate the principles by which they are actua ted, and the reasons which will have impelled them to take such a stand as they are deter mined to assume in the approaching election. They will give their reasons in “ Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn,” why they deem it necessary, at this particu !ar juncture, to oppose the tide of abolition ism which is flooding the Northern States, and the sooner they do so the better. It is full time that the destinies of the country were taken out of the hands of a few fanatics, white and black, who are urging the Union to destruction, and preserving them from the shape which Seward and his associate dema gogues are endeavoring to give them. The leaders of this new party will give their views of the extraordinary position in which the great Slate of New York has been placed by those destructives, as well as the whole North, io relation to the constitution and the continu ance of this confederacy in all its integrity.— They have seen the abolitionists rise from a diminutive faction to a great party, which holds the balance of power between the whig* and democrats in New York and New Eng land, and exercise a controlling power in our elections. They will seek to attain the same influence, and by using It judiciously, to keep in check the disorganizes, who seem determined, if possible, to dissolve the Union, by pursuing a course of policy that can lead to no other result. The opinions entertained by Washington Hunt, on this great question, may be consider d moderate by many, and the same may be said of those of Mr. Seymour, hut the election of one or the other would give more or less force to the slavery agitation, as renewed by the demagogue Seward ; and as the power and influence of the abolitionists is more identified with the whig State ticket, than that of the Van Burens, the probability is that the friends of the Union and the consti tution, who are thus about to organize them selves into an independent party, will be more disposed to give a blow to the Seward influ ence than to any other. They will have no party lies to regard, and will, therefore, be free and independent, and will act as they think proper. In reference to the tickets that have been or will be put forth by both of the old parties in the city of New York, this will be a very favo rable opportunity to this independent party to cut and choose from them as their judgment dictates, and to select none but those whose election to the offices to which they have been, or may be nominated, will conduce to the in terests of the city. They can act in this matter in the same high minded manner as they in tend to do towards tbe slate nominations. Some of the candidates already nominated, are totally unfit to occupy the posts for which they have been selected. The best way to ac complish their design, is to select from both tickets, and in doing so they will be sustained the independent people of all parties. Above all things, they must keep constantly in view the Seward abolition influence in the ru ral districts, and so direct their energies as to put an effectual stop to any further anti slavery agitation, and to direct the opinions of the hon est and high minded mass of the community against the demagogueism which threatens to swallow in a vortex of fanaticism, our dearest rights and liberties. Hon. A. H. Stephens in Atlanta. The t lntelligencer of the 241 h inst. says: Hon. A. H. Stephens, according to previ ous appointment, addressed a large concourss of citizens lo day at Lin & Brantley’s Ware house. The meeting assembled at half p**t ten o’clock this morning, and after organizing, listened lo a strong speech from Col. John Collier of Atlanta, after whose remarks, Mr. Stephens took the stand and enchained the attention and interest of the assemblage for about two hours. Mr. Stephens’ remarks wore enthusiastically received by the audience The Fair of the Kentucky Agricultural and Mechanical Association at Lexington, iclosed on Saturday, the slh inst. The Observer de scribes it as one of the most splendid exhibitions of Kentucky art and industry ever seen in the State. The concourse in attendance every ' day was very large. i “ Dismembering Texas.’’ This it the phrase usually applied by the disun onists to the iate act of Congress propos ing to adjust the boundary of Texas, Os course, they do not expect intelligent, well informed men to believe such a declaration, but they probably indulge the hope that per chance it may reach the ear of some one who may not be familiar with the orovisions of the bill, upon whom they may impose tbe state ment for fact. To show how little truth there is in the assertion, we subjoin a paragraph from the N. O. Crescent, setting forth the provisions of the bill, who voted for it. and its effect, if the proposition be accepted by Texas : The Pearce Bill does not dismember Texas. It recognises its claim, and proposes to buy a certain portion of its territory. The line submitted to the judgment of that State take* less territory by 12,950 square miles than would the line of the 34th degree, which Gov. Bell in his ptoclamation says the peo ple had been willing to concede. See Kauffman’s address to his constituents. The territory proposed to be ceded contains 44,662 square miles below 36 30, and 43,557 square miles above. By the Annexation Resolutions, slavery was absolutely prohibited in that immense region above tbe line of the Missouri Compromise. By the Pearce Bill, all legal prohibi tions are removed, and the institution of slavery is left to the action of physical, economic and moral causes. Texas, even if it should throw off this outer ring, as the centre! sun threw off its useless worlds, would still retain a territory equal to five States as large as New York. The bill received in the House of Representatives 52 Southern votes and lost 30. It received 55 votes from the Northern States and lost 65, while not a single F'ree Soil vote was given for it. Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee wera u nimous for tbe bill. A majority from Virginie, North Carolina, Georgia and Missouri voted for it. South Carolina and Mississippi were unanimous against it. 34 democrats and 24 whigs from North ern States voted for it. 14 democrats and 45 whigs from the Northern States voted against it. The de legation of Texas voted for the bill. Yet Another Phase. The Disunionists had a meeting a few days since in Decatur, to nominate delegates to the Convention. Among other resolutions adopt ed on the occasion was one instructing their delegates if elected, to seek ‘'redress for past grievances and security for the future within the pale of the Constitution. ' How ‘ redress for past grievances within the pale of the Constitution,” is to be obtained, we are not informed, though we confess we should like to be enlightened on tbe subject. Perhaps if the nominees are elected, of which there is no prospect, a flood of light may be thrown upon the subject, and the minds ofthe Convention and the country illumined. Senator Foote arrived at Jackson, M iss. on the evening of the 16th inal. He was welcom ed by the firing of cannon ; and received the congratulations of his fellow-citizens until a late hour that evening. He was to address the people in Jackson Saturday the 19th inst. From evidence* afforded by the press, we presume he v/ill canvas* a large portion ofthe State ere his return to Washington. Georgia Cotton in Chattanooga. —The Advertiser of the 23d inst. says; “ The second bale of cotton ever brought to this market on a wagon, was received here, on Monday last, and was sold for 12 1-2 cents, the quality being Good Middling. This cotton was grown in Wal ker county, Georgia, and we understand that there are several hundred bales there to dispose of, which would find a ready sale inihis market.” Melancholy Accident. —Girard, Ala. Oct. 20. 1850. —Editors Columbus Enquirer— Gents: —A melancholy accident happened in this place on last Friday evening 18th inst. As Mr. William Luckett and lady, and Mr. Oli ver Luckett and family,of Canton. Mississippi, were travelling through town, on a visit to their friends in Georgia, a negro boy rode by them in a brisk gallop which started the horses in the baggage waggon just behind the buggy in which Mr. Luckett and lady were ri ding. She became alarmed and jumped out, when the horses in an instant ran over her body, and the wheels of the wagon passed over her head and face, killing her immediately. An inquest was held and a verdict rendered ac cordingly. The body of the unfortunate lady was conveyed to the residence of Mr. John Godwin, who very kindly provided for the dis tressed strangers, and our citizens promptly rendered every aid and attention which benev olence could prompt or sympathy suggest. The body was enclosed in coftins suitable for removal as the bereaved husband designs ta king it to his home in Mississippi in a lew weeks. No other personal accident happened to the party although greatly endangered. Yours &c. Walton B. Harris. Vera Cruz September 26, 1850. —Editors Picayune —An important circumstance occar red here, on the 23d inst., to two Americans from California. They went into an oatin fi house kept by a black man named John They called for dinner, when they were in formed that there was none at the moment, bat some would he got ready. The Americans being impatient, commenced using very bad language and caught up a number of articles and dashed them on the ground. A piece of an earthen jar struck a little girl on the head and cut a severe gash. The guards were then called in. Two only came, with their muskets, which were soon taken out of their hands and broken to pieces, and the soldiers badly beaten. A reinforcement was called in, and the Amer icans would not yield until they were over powered and received very dangerous wounds, in consequence of which one has since died— Franklin West. The other is in a very pre carious condition. The said West confessed to his friend, Dr. R. F. Stiger, of Lafayette county. Miss., while on his death-bead, that he was drunk and he was sorry for it, and had done wrong. It is much to be regretted that when our countrymen come to this country the make such bad use of their time to the prejudice of those that travel this route. It is more to be lamented that the deceased has left a wife and six children in Georgia. The whole of this affair would undergo a strict examination by the authorities, and ha set forth to the public. The Mexicans in general all regret it very much. Yours truly, Iris. N. O.

The first criminal, for embezzling the funds ofthe Bank, the other a civil process in favor of tbe bank, in which the damages are laid in favor of the bank He was brought before the Supreme Court on Saturday, ou a writ of Habeas Cor pus, and argument heard for and against the reduction of the bail. Tne Court reserved its decision. 3aYB TOUR PoTATOE VINES — Most of OUT agricultural readers are doubtlesa aware of the value of the sweet potatoe vine, wheu green, as food for cattle, and especially milch ' cows. It has been our habit for several years past, to use green potatoe vines as food for , milch cows, and we have found them not only I highly nutritive, but they impart as fine a fla vor and as rich a color to the butler as even clover. The plan of cutting the vines, by which the pototato is but little, if any, injured, ir preferable to turning the cows innpon them as they trample upon and injure the potatoes, and if allowed to eat freely of the vines, which they find more succulent and palatable than anything else they can gel at that season, they | will eat but litt'e dry food, and as a natural con sequence, when the vines give out they fall off. We were forcibly struck with this fact some four or five years agu. —since which, we have not turned our cows in upon the vines, but have had the viens cut and fed to them. We would, however, advise, as a precautionary measure that the vines be carefully cut up, as the cows are liable to get choaked with them where this precaution is not taken. A friend of ours loeta very fiine cow in this way some days ago. But the chief object of oar article is to re commend the saving of the potatoe vines as fod der for cattle. That they will, if well cured, make a more nutritious article of food than the common blade fodder, we have not a doubt. The process of curing well, wo apprehend, will be found rather tedious, —but the labor thus employed will be most amply repaid. We intend to try the experiment in a few days and would recommend those of our readers who have not an abundant supply of good provender for their cattle to do likewise.— Ala. Beacon. The New York Express says that Mr. G P. R. James, the Novelist, has declared, in the proper Court, his intention to become a citizen of the United States. Messrs. Stringer & Townsend have contracted with him for a new novel, which is to appear as a serial in the pages of their International Monthly. Land for Kossuth.— The New York cor respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says that a gentleman of that city has offered that if Kossuth will select New York as his place of residence and exile, ho will give him a deed of on ; hundred acres of beautiful land in the v»- cinity of that city. It is probable (says the writer) that the brave Magyar will accept, and before long be among us. From Mexico. —By the arrival of the brig Miilaodon, from Very Cruz, we have received files of papers from the city of Mexico to 'he 28th ult., being ten days later than previous advices. The presidential election still excites the greatest share of attention from the press The returns are coming in, but not very rapid ly on account of the difficulty of communica tion in Mexico, and the fact that the election was held on different days in different parts of the country. The elections in the Federal District were to lake place on the 29tb, and of course would materially influence the result. There were all sorts of rumors in circulation concerning the intrigues of the various parties. ( One report was that the Paros, the Conserva tives and the Santanistas had entered into a coalition to defeat Arista by concentrating their strength on Almonte, the candidate of the Pa ros. Another report was that Arista was making use of the National Guard to procure his own election ; then it was said that church property to the amount of SB,OOO, had been converted to the use of the Conservatives. The returns of the election as far as received indicate that neither of the twelve candidates will receive the majority required by the con stitution. The election will then devolve cu the Congress. As far as heard from, Arista has carried sixty-six districts ; Almonte, twen ty-six ; Bravo, seventeen ; Riva Palacio, two ; Gomex Pedraza, seventeen; Rosa, eight; Conto, one ; Mejica, two: Trias, three ; San taAnua two : Bustameute, one; and Cuevas, one. In addition to this, the states of Duran go, and New Leon voted for Sr. de la Rosa. The papers still continue to recount the depredations o I the Indians ob the border States.
