We take from the Southern Cultivator the sub* joined amusing nrticlo, written by our esteemed friend and fellow citizen. Major Starks. The aubjebt discussed Is one of considerable impor tance to planters on the Savannah rtrer, and es pecially in (be southern and eouth-wcaiern por tions of the Slate. Major Starke deserves the thanks of the publio no less for bis claseio and amusing sketch, than for having transformed a proliOo source of pestilence—a worse than barren waste—into a salubrious and most productive plantation. There are thousands of acres In the aouthern Atlantic Slates now worthless, which hre equally aosceptibie of reclamation by proper drainage. history, in filing up her pages, will be compelled to admit that no wielded tho. spade with.mot6 adroitness than the sceptre, and that his achieve ments as a ditcher immeasurably transcend all bis efforts as a politician. In the open, uncultivated part of Mobly’a pond thero are sovoral hundred acres of peat from 12 to36 inches deep resting on abed oibluo clay; at first I bad great misgivings in regard to this peat land, and thought of using K exclusively for pasture and manure. This year I planted seven- ty acres of it in corn. With a knifo plough, similar to the blade of a coulter, 1 cut the land both ways every twelve inches to tho depth of the cane grass ruols, followed tho same furrow with a bull tongue and bursted up in every direction square blocks of peat. After being exposed to the sun and made dry these were fired and burnt.— By this means the farmidabio toots uf the cane f ra is were eradicated and a coat of ashes secured. n the spring ridges were thrown up, the corn planted, ana op to this limo I vliy much question whether in all Georgia there is a better field of grain. Several hundred acres of this pond aro appro- proprlated to paature. The grass in many places is breast high, and the mowers pronounce it equal to any specitnont in New England. To mo it is Patriot wtfind the following statement : "In a recent numW of the Savannah Republl- can the Editor proposes that tho whigs of that a panorama, to uso a big word, trnniccndcnlly beautiful. Unfortunately 1 do uot tesidoun my Ms. Editor Some friend* have intimated to ino that the following statement may not be un acceptable to the agricultural public; that you would not object to provide for it an bumble cor ner in your journal, and that although it might not grace your columns, it could not possibly liariu your correspondents. The subscriber has a plantation of several thous and acres, fifty miles below Augusta on the Geor gia side of the Savannah river. Nearly in the centre of this body of land is, or teas, Mobly's pond, a large, and in Sciivcn county a celebrated sheet of water, aeven miles round and eight feet deep, heretoforo a fiuilful source of disease to the neighborhood, and of revenue to the doctors.— The upper half was an open plain of more than a thousand acres, where a hundred steamboats could ride in safety, and where, fiom any point, a bird could be distinctly seen. Tbe lower section is covered with cypress, whose rich foliage and drooping moss, intercepting the sun's rays* and overshadowing tbe waters, presented to the view a dismal canopy above and a horrible landscape beneath. Here millions of noxious vermin lived and flounced and died. Here the horned owl cliauoted his melancholy dittiea. Here tbe while Crane,gathered her food, built her neat and reared tier young; and when congregated by thousands, on tbe branches of this magnificent tioe, resem bled a vast shrubbery of seringoes in bloom.— Tbe open parts were the resort of innumerable wild fowls,and were covered with countless flocks of docks. This loquacious bird, during the long winter higbts, kept up so eternal row; his ca rousals snd jollification picnics transcended every thing of record in tbe acbievments of Venus and Bacchus, and were almost a match for the uproar ious frolics of John Bull and Brother Jonathan, on the anniversary birlh-daya of majesty and in dependence. w«« the king beast of this pon tine marsh; armed with a formidable tail and a pair of more formidable jaws, he was the ter ror of the women and boys and negroes. Com- S irod to him in bodily appearance, the Ourang utang was a beauty and the jackass lovely. Ilia most interesting position was a recumbent pos ture, with his upper jaw elevated at right angles, and bis teeth shining in tbe sun. When lying in ambush for his prey, be could flourish an eye that would shame a catemount, and a trunk, the like of which nover flounced in the waters of Plilegetbou or Cooytui. This redoubtable ani mal was frequently to be seen prowling upon the banks with the agility of a hippopotamus, and floating upon the waters with the stillness of a serpent. 1 strongly suspect that his reputation for manliness bsu its origin in the writings of tbe Zoologist who, instead of manipulating him gently aa a lap dog, peeped at him through a spy glass from a most respectful distance. Al though a soldier among calves and pigs and lambs, bis courage and ferocity are evidently overrated; it is seldom that s full grown bog realises tbe honor of being digested in his capa cious maw. I would sooner meet him in a Ro man amphitheatre, ten to one, than a wild boar; and were 1 victorious in combat ovor a hundred such heroes, I would not take to myself, large as my organ of self-esteem may be, half the re nown acquired by Hercules in bis contest with the boar of Erymanthue. This American croco dile reared an extensive family in Mobly’s pond, and doubtless had been monarch then for a thou sand years. The neighboring urchins, in their Saturday visits to enjoy the luxury of a bath, were ever mindful of him, hut tradition furoishca no legend of a catastrophe simitar to that of Jonah in tbe whale's belly. Tho terrapin eould be counted by thousands, and the finest trout in Georgia were there. To this horde of vermin the draining of Mobly’s Pond was an epoch. The fish, left by tbe receding waters I a the weed* and grass, fell an easy prey to tho'vultures. The terrapin, unambitious of distinction among men, plunged into the ditch aod buried himself into the swamps of the Savan nah. The duck, with heavy heart, mounted into tbe air, and like tbe "skimmer of tbe seas,” bade a final farewell to this memorable scene of bis festivities. The alligator, with "melancholy stepa and slow," no doubt reached some land of prom ise where, free from danger and tho world's mal ice, ho could enjoy io summer bis mud-hole and in winter his lighUoood knot*. Having stated somewhat prolixly, and perhaps with too much levity, wbst Mobly's pond teas, I now proceed to state what Mobly’s pond is; Sev en year* ago, "solitary and alone," I undertook to drain this body of water, and although out of pocket some $10,000,1 do not regret tho result. The landed estate (poud included) cost $60,000, aod I am vain enough sometimes to think that thospadehas doubled its value. Originally this pond was joint property, but from want or con cord among tbe proprietors, was seemingly des tined to remain a nuisance to tbe end or time.— Eventually it fell into my bands, and now in this year of our Lord, 1849, so prolific of prodigies, and so memorable to monarch*, with a natural atmosphere full of poison, and a political one full of republicanism, with the lower "ten thousand" dying with filth, and tbe upper 'Men thousand" with fright, with Despotism standing on a volcano and Freedom upon a rock, Mobly’s pond (what a bathos!) is ss dry ss sn ash-bank, or tbe throat of a loafer in the boacy-moon of his temperance pledge, In the first place I caused to be excavated a cen tre ditch four miles loug^md on some points from 1C to-20 feet deep, begiuniug at the Savannah swamp and passing entirely through the poud.— Secondly were dug spring ditches of several miles iq length in ail suitable places; and lastly paral lel ditches leading from the centre to tbe spring drains: these lateral ditches were placed at inter vals of 140 yards. The cypress part, formerly visited only by a canoe, is now easily accessible, and furnishes abundant and durable timber for building and feuciug. Tbo open, uncultivated patt, ts covered with grass averaging4,000 pounds to the acre, palatable and nutritious to horses and other stock. Last year sixty acres yielded sixty heavy bales of cotton, and the best acres of the corn land seventy-six bushels. This work was accomplished by Irish ditchers. Negrbcs,'it is said, could havo done it cheaper; but governed by the maxim "nt tutor ultra crept- dam",I confined the black man to the cultivation ol the staple commodities. An Irish ditcher, brought up in a locality not larger than a pig stye, with a rotten potato for his breakfast, a yoko upon his neck, and a tax gatherer in bis pocket, is to be ex cused if his refisA for liberty be Arm and his devo tion to that Goddess profound and sincere. Shak- ing the dust of old England from his feet,and turn ing the baek of his hand upon Kings,he plants his destinies in America, and blends in his drenma the ahamrocknnd tbe stars. Whatever his obliquities In private Ufe may be, in bis love for his adopted - country, there is no counterfeit. In a twinkling he masters tbe science of government and winds his way without a light through all the labyrinths of politics. Disdainful of neutrality he rallies under the standard of party, and like a certain plantation, but when I go thoro (which is often) anti look around on that plain of velvet, I become •dreamy and imaginative, and fancy it to be the finest meadow caslof Clio Buflaio prairies. When 1 behold the cattle browsing on the rank grass, and cotton and corn springing from a soil which for ages generated malaria and monsters, I enjoy the landscape with as much gusto as ever Archi medes did his solution of the problem of the King of Syracuse or Sardanapalus his dinner on bull frogs. Independent of this, I have drained on tbe same premises somo fifteen other ponds, all of which are productive, aud oue of which, embracing a hundred acres, is worth, in the opinion of some Carolina gentlemen who have visited it, two hundred dollars to the acre. Mobly’s pond is no longer an eyesore, but Pygmalion's clay metamorphosed into a beautiful woman. It throws out its wealth from centre to circumference, yieldmg materials for building and fencing, pasture tor cattle, hay for work horses, and corn and cotton which would not disgrace the banks of the Mississippi. And now, Mr. Editor, will you excuse all Ibis farrago of egotism, garrulity and uonseusc?— ’ ommenda SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1851. ■ ' ffleientHDiucXteina. ; .

In- doed, we ought to be exebaed if we woro to say the editor of the Patriot knew it to bo unlruo at the time ho made the ststmeot. We have not proposed that tho")FAigs” of this or any other district "should meet in MUIodgevlllo" or any where elso, "to nominato acandidato for Con gress" or for any other purpose. What we did suggest was that tho friends of the Union, tbe "UNION parly,” should send up delegates to nom inate a ConstitulionalUnion candidate forCongrcsa. We know of but two parlies in Georgia at this time, and they aro tho Union and the Resistance parties. Tha old whig and democralio partiea, at the suggestion of such papers as the Patriot and its compatriots, havo been merged into two new and distinct organizations, one of which is dero- ted to the preservation of the Union and the other to ita destruction. Being an humble but earnest advocate of the Union, and not recognizing in the present party arrangements such an organization as ths whig or democratic party, wo have made no auch proposition as that charged by thePa/rioL That tho Patriot may roiievo itself of tho sus picion of having wilfully misrepresented us, and at the same time do itself and us juatlco, we trust it will mnko tho necessary correction, Self-praise is no recommendation, but it is scl- doin that poor humanity gets any other. I con fess I feel somewhat proud of this little achieve ment. A stump oratur btimfull of love for the dear sovereigns; an incumbent of office farming out tho duties nnd pocketing the emoluments} an agent of a corporation strong in the funds of other people; a Congressman memorizing a Buncombe speech manufactured to order; a Beau Bruutmcll in tha embraces of a city belle, wriggling, at the peril of his bcatd and inexpressibles, through the modest mazes of the Polka dance, would proba bly feel unutterable contempt for all this vatu boasting. But these great men should bear in mind that we cannot all be Presidents and Secre taries, Ambassadors and Congressmen. We can not all of us, like Romulus, found an empire, or like Columbus, discover a world. Wo cannot all of us, liko Humbolt, plant a quadrant upon the cliffs of the Andes, or like Newton, find out, under U>e shade of a fruit tree, the laws of the Universe. Some of us must be "hewers of wood and drawers of water;" somo of us must handle the hoe, tbe pruning hook and the plow, that the granary of the poor man may be full; some of us must cultivate the vine, the olive and the fig tree, that the table of the nabob be covered with viands; some of us must dig from ths earth the jewel that glitters on a lady's finger, and the carbon that feeds the fiery monster who scatters along his iron track, splendor and plenty, fructifying and illuminating tbe globe. Of the thousands who have toiled and hauled for immortality, a few only have left monumental names. In every hundred years of the existence of China, she breeds and buries 900,000,000 of people. How many of these, save Confucius, have left a fame that swells beyond the measure of the "celestial empire?" Has your humble servant accomplished any thing in tbe premises worthy of your time and trouble in wading through tnis letter? I* it not something to introduce health where previously malignant fevers prevailed ? If 8t. Patrick be came a saint for banishing snakes from Ireland, and Hercules a demi-god for cleansing the Au gean stables and driving wild beasts from the mountains of Lybia, may not your buinbio ser vant take a little comfort to himself for rooting out one of tho strong bolds of pestilence, and converting a vast quagmire into a fruitful field?

It is quite in Stbakoscii’s vein : Charleston, Apsil 1—5.40 P. M. Teresa Parodi, the celebrated songstress, has arrived this morning. Nearly all tho tickets for tho first concert are sold. The excitement is very great. Maurice Strakosch. Tbo U. 8, Steamship Flobida.—Tbo U. S. Mail steam ship Florida, Capt. Lyon, consigned to Messrs. Padelford, Fav & Co., arrived yesterday in Go hours from New York, biinging 47 cabin aud 4 steerage passengers, with a Urge freight. On Sunday the Florida exciianged signals at half-past ten, a. in., with the Southerner, from Charleston lor Now York. At a quarter past one* p. m., the 31st, Monday, she exchanged signals with the Alabama, hence for New York, 16 miles south of Halteras. from Most Righteous Judgment. THE PORTLAND ADVERTISER AND CHRISTIAN MIRROR. The advertising of Government has been with drawn from the Portlaud (Me.) Advertiser (abo lition) and given to the Christian Mirror, a reli gious paper. The Advertiser of the 20lh ult. has a whining aod apologctio article, in which ita trea sonable course is attempted to bo defended. The ground of defence is, as might bo supposed, that of Whig principles, as they aro understood and practised by tbe Maine abolitionists. But thU will not answer. Thoro is moro of tho same work to be done, and there are Seward men in of fice at tbe North who ought to be ejected with out any delay. The history of the Mirror is somewhat singular. It U edited by tbe Rov'd Asa Cummins, a man who bolds a controversial pen that finds few equals, although he is now between seventy and eighty years of age. For ten years past, he has been the object of persecution of a large majority of the clergymen of Maine. The reason of this was that Mr. Cummins was opposed to carrying tbe church into the abolition crusade. He thought that trueChrlstian duty lay in a different direction, and so taught bis readers; and unlucky was the wight who fell under the crushing power of his ar gument. Those persecuting and tormenting par sons—(hose men who have preached immorality, disobedience to the laws, treason against the gov ernment,and conspiracy against the Constitutional rights of the South—finding thnt argument failed, drew near to the women and filled their heads with preposterous notions about the iccuaancy of tho Rev. Mr. Cummins. From tho women an ap peal was made to husbands, sons and brothers which might not be resisted. Tho crusade bad now for its object to staive Mr. Cumsuno into submission. The circulation of the Mirror went down to a minimum. But the old gentleman was bard to kill. A few friends and a few sub scribers stuck to him like brothers, and his blows both temporal and spiritual fell thickest aud hardest when he was most beset, and when he appeared to bo almost famishing for want of sup port. We are rejoiced that he has continued steadfast, and sincerely trust that ho will outlive the hatred, envy and malice of his enemies, and yet see tho recurrence of better days for tbe Re public, as well as for bitnself. Tho countenance which he has received from tbe administration is one reward of virtuous action. While it adds life and energy to his pen, wo trust it will satisfy fault-finders in this section that tho President knows how to distinguish between the friends and enemies of the Union and of the South. The following extract from the article of tbe Advertiser,above alluded to, affords,we suppose,* pretty correct indication of the temper of the edi tor and of a largo majority of his readers: "And then, as if this were not load enough for us to stand up under, the odious and «tio„u.)ina- fugacious iaw was enacted—a law so odious that but three whigs from tho free States in all Con gress voted for it, snd in tho Senate, even all llio northern locofoco compromisers, except three, dodged it—and a constant struggle has been go ing on ever since to thrust the disgusting dose down tbe throat* of northern whig editors; not only to make us swallow it, but to make us say that "it is good and wo like it." As for our selves, wc have been unable either to swallow tho doso or recommend it to others—and so—with Thurlow Weed’s Albany Evening Journal, the Huston Alisa, tho New Hampshire Statraman, the VermontWstchman,and wo know not how mnny moreataunch whig papers—wo have been proscrib ed .and can no longer publish laws"by authority!" We may at least i>c proud of our company, those with whom we bavo been associated in this heavy dispensation of tbe Secretary of State." 03- The steamship Isabel, Capt.

From tbe returns we published yesterday, it ap pears that the citizens ofGeorgiabave sent through tbe American Colonization Society 551 coloured people to Liberia, where they will aid in founding Republican institutions, and in civilizing tbe African races. Massachusetts his sent but one coloured person in all this time, and we suppose that he went of bis own accord. Of all tbe hard drinking, destitute and thoroughly wretched col oured people that infest some of tho lowest dens of Boston, and who are found in tho other towns of Massachusetts, one only has been sent, since 1817, by the Colonization Society to Liberia.— Probably this is about a lair teat of the real merit of those pseudo-philanthropists who have kept up and still keep up the agitation which has so af flicted the country. How moch better would it have been to spend tho money appropriated to abolition lectures, to abolition prints, and for all the other abolition gas to sending these poor people in their midst to a placo where they would have secured happiness and independence I Corruption in the New-York Senate, Ogeechee Plank Road- The travelling publio, and indbed all who re* lido in or visit this city, should hail with pleasure the opening again of tho aubjeot of tho Ogeechee Plank Road. Truly it has slept too long—but now I trust it is awakened to some purpose, and will not be allowed to slumber again, until tbe object is accomplished. Ita advantages have been ao well set forth in a well dlrectod, and pertinent article, published in your paper of yesterday, that its advocates havo little moro to do than urge on tho work and keep it before tbo publio. It is certainly an enterptiae of so useful, and withal of so humane a character, that it is utter ly surprising that it has not been accomplished before. Any one who haa travelled over the road in question, must remember with a shudder that awful etough qf despond, seven mites in lougth, beginning at tho one milo atone, and terminating at the seventh. In a future paper 1 crave tbe privilege of stating tho two most pop lar modes of constructing a Plank Road, and endeavouring to show that ono, most expedient, and best adapted to cover tbe tract in question.

The Now York papers of Saturday, received by the steamer Florida, publish* series of moat im portant charges against certain senators and the sergeant-at-arms at Albany. Tho charges aro based upon* memorial from Mike Walsh, stating the facta and accompanied by tbe corocapondence between tbe parties implicated. This correspond ence shows, to use tbe Isngusgo of the Express, that Goo. W. Bull, the aergeant-at-arms of the Senate, backed apparently by some of tbe mem bers of tbo legislature, has been attempting to levy "black mail" on the reputed proprietors of certain gambling houses in New York city, by promising, that if certain sums named were paid to them, a certain bill, then before the legislature, should be defeated. Tho bill referred to was in tended by ita title to be for tbe more effectual sup pression of gambling; and its posaagoor its re jection, it is stated, was made to depend on tbe fact whether the required amount of "black mail 1 would, or would not, be paid. Tho persons ap plied to were addressed in "masonic confidence." It appears that Bull acted as the agent of those members of tho legislature who were tbua prosti tuting their high office. Ho conducted tbe cor respondence and did all their dirty work. The person who made tho disclosure is tho notorious gambler, S. A. Suydam, who makes an affidavit to the facts and produces tbo correspondence.— When these documents were laid before tbe sen ate, they produced the greatest excitement, both In tho legislature and around the capital. They were discussed with closed doors. Nothing war done, however, except to appoint a select com mittee of threo, with full powor to send for per sons and papers, and to take testimony. It is said that Bull had left Albany. Tho Senators implicated in this disgraceful transaction, are Messrs. Stone, Johnson and Rob inson. Whether others, or even they, are guilty of the corruption charged upon them, remains to be proved. According to the present aspect of the affair, there is too much reason to fear the charge will be fully sustained. Suydam says this Is only one out of numerous other cases which Bull informed him of. The Herald is not surpris ed at tbe transaction, as the three Senators referr ed to above are all "higher law" men. -»ino magnitude and f T"* "W™™ ‘“"I Wear your learning, like your watch, in a wvlcea and furnish to hia -adopted | 8*?*umatlon of tbe remains of Com.

Cass.—A ring weighing six ounces has been manufactured in San Francisco, aa a present for Gen. Cass, from George H. Blake, one of tho workmen in Jacks & Brothers' jewel ry establishment. The top is constructed with a box snd gloss containing four compartments,with specimens of gold from four districts. Benefit of Railroads.—Dr. Lardner well re marks in hia lato treatise on railways: "The pop ulation of a great capital is condensed into asmall compais, by tho difficulty and inconvenience of passing over long distances; henco has arisen tbe densely populated state of great cities like Lon don and Paris. If the speed by which persone can bo transported from place to place be doubled, the same population can, without incouvenionce* be spread over four times the area; if the speed be tripled, it may occupy nine timet the area." Gentlemen’s spring fashions.—Scott’s Mir ror of Fashion, for March, is filled, as usual, with interesting matter touching the "outer man."— Scott is a real oracle in bis line. Of tho "latest fashions," ho gives us a full and instructive re port. The full dress coats of black and blue, now in vogue, are described minutely,as are tho pant aloons, now worn "closo nt tho knee, and with very littlo curve at the ancle—to closo with nar- rew straps of tho same goods, one hole at each end," nnd vests, "of tbe roll collar style, nmdo of white silk or satin, which (says Mr. Scott) on convivin! occasions, are worn with a row of em broidery, in colors, up tho breast and on tho fall- down of collar." ••Shirt Bosoms, we are told, should be embroid ered in white, if formed iu wide plaits, or plain, when the plaits ore very narrow. Thera aresotno very pretty styles of bosoms, divided into plain rows nn inch wido, and embroidered, and rows of very small plaits an inch wide—thus tho wide cm- DroulcicU (jinitaml tlie ■ uws or plait and the rows of small plaits alternate. In addition to these styles, some persons, it seems, wear a bosom com posed of very wide nnd deep plaits and ruflles— tbe narrow ruffles being tucked under a deep plait, nnd sported only ns occasion may require,or fancy dictsto. A unique idea, certainly. "Brilliants, set in oral cluster, ore described as being the fashionable bosom ornaments with full dress, and as not entirely *mal apropos' for demi- toilette with dinner dress. For wear with morn ing dress, tho wearer exercises his own taste and ingenuity with that of the lapidary and jeweller; henco it Is not surprising that there are as many styles ns there nre flowora of tlio field. Watch Chains arc being sported of a mixture of precious stones, with one largo seal, containing tho crest of the wearer, ana a bundlo of little charms—tbe latter being appropriate for boys only. Chains made of steel nnd silver, brightly poluhed, are about as fashionable aa any, except those composed of coral and gold. "A single brilliant, open set, is tho higheststyle of dress ring. All other rings, save the one con taining your seal, are regarded as gifts—remem brancers. ••Shirt Collars—Square, standing, and pretty high, mndeof three plies of fine linen. ••Cravats—Plain white linen cambric—tbo tio being n small double bow. " Gloves—Lemon or straw-color." An Irish counsol bolng questioned by a judgo to know "for whom ho wus concerned,''replicd— "Iain concerned, my lord, for the plaintiff, bull am employed by tbe defendant." Tho musket that kicked the boy over, hss been arrested, and made to give bail. The plea that it was "cocked" at tbo time, was ruled out of Court. A watch consists of 992 pieces, and in making it, 23 trades and about 200 persons are cmployea. A remarkable instance of tbe effect of labor in augmenting the value of raw material, is affordod by the balance-spring of this instrument. One farthing’s worth uf iron will make 7,660 balance- springs, the market valuo of which is about £924; nearly $4,500. A gentleman in Now Orleans said tho other day to a servant at the Hotel where ho was stop- ** "files* my soul, Sambo, how black you are. how in the name of wonder did you get so black?" "Why look a’ heah, massa; do reasonam dii do day dis heah chilo was born dero was an eclipse." Ebony received a quarter for bis satisfactory explanation, aud after grinning thanks ho con tinued: "1 tell you what it is, massa, dts niggn may bo brack, but he ain't green, no how! Ya.yah! g’lang dari" The English Language—In Henry theseventh'e time tboy spelt laughing in the following ingeni ous manner—"lawzheyngo." Whnt would the professors of phonography say to that ? Charity qfa Miser—An illiterate person who always volunteered to "go round with tho hat," but was suspected of apnring his own pocket, -—■**—* “ it to that!- " * The venernble notion that a person must go to a dinner party in "full tog,” our fashionable Mentor tells us, is now regarded as an "obsolete idea.” From Texns. Among tbe arrivals in San Antonio, up to the 15th inst., were Gov. Bell, who joined in tho funeral procession at the obsequies of General Brooke, Gen. Harney, who is to take tbe com mand vacated by the death of that lamented officer, Col. Cooper, Inspector General, Capt. Silgreves, attached to the Boundary Commis sion, Capt. McCown, 4th Artillery, in command of 160 recruits for the 8thlnfsutry, on tbe Salado, Dr. Swift, Capt. Maclny, on his way to join his company at Fort Worth, and Drs. Turner aud Guild, of the U. 8. Army. A brilliant feto was recently given by the offi cers and citizens in the colony of Piedras Negras, celebrating the inauguration of President Arista, to which invitations were courteously extended to the Inhabitants of the American sido of tho Rio Grande. The scene is described as a brilliant one—tbe rich, full uniforms of the Mexican and American officers, mingling with tho rich costumes of tbe American Isdies, and the picturesque dresses of tho senoritas, reminded one of a fairy scene.— Several Indian chiefs from tho colony above, were in attendance at this grand celebration. The Austin State Gazette denies that Gov. Bell will be a candidate lor Coogrcss to replace Mr. Kaufman. The Indians are again at their work of plunder and murder in tho Valley of the RioGrande. The planters along the river are in the greatest alarm, from the Indians having killed or wounded a par ty of herdsmen near the river, between Browns ville and Camp Ringgold. Families are remov ing to tho Mexican side. Gen. Canales, it is thought, will bo appointed to tho military command at Matainoros, in place of Gen. Avalus. Threo entorprizing mechanics of Rio Grande City have completednnd launched a sloop of 30 tons at that place, 300 miles from tho inouth of tho river. She is built of inusquite and ebony, and is destined for the coast trade Curiosities of the Census.—Tho county of Lauderdale, in Alabama, is roinarknblo for many tilings; but not the least of ita wonders is tho fancy some of its people have for names of por tentous length. Little Master Smith’s is J. W. T. II. A. G. C. R. E. Smith, which the census- takar has kindly explained upon tho margin, by writing tho full name, or ail tho names, as fol lows: James Wesley Turner Hogan Anderson Gabriel Canton Roger Ebcnczer Smith. The young gentleman was-a month old when this affliction was visited upon him. Miss House was threo years old when her pa rents responded for hor, and gavo the initials of her name or names as follows: S. M. C. J. E. D. F. House. Here, also, we havo tbe benefit of the census mnn'a marginal notes, nnd learn that Sarah Mary Catharine Jane Elizabeth Deborah Francis House accord with the parents' notions of euphony. Surely no moro children could have been looked for in these homes.—Washington Telegraph. 2bo Good to be Lost.—An exclmngo paper somo timo since told us that when the Hon. Trumnn Smith returned to Washington with his youthful, accomplished and handsome Alabama wife, some body asked hitn how many slaves she had.— "Only ono," said Truman, bowing low, and placing hit hand upon his heart; "only one, who la proud to be her slave." That was very good. But another exchange adds that on the night the platform gave way at the circus, Mr. Smith was present with his young wife, end it is said that when tho crash came, he ran for tho door, leaving tho lady to shift for herself. Another lady observing It, re marked, pointing at the honorable Senator from Connecticut: "Look,look! thersgoeaa fugitive slave l" overhearing once a hint I effect, replied: "Other gentlemen puts what they think proper, and so do I.
