Destruction of lhe City of Alamos- Thousands of Lives Lost. Tbe city of Alamos, situat ed in the southern portion of Sonora, Mexico, has been swept out of existence by a visitation of natnrt —namely, a com bined attack.of two great furies, wind and water. The terrible event occur red during the great sea stonn, lasting from the 15th to the 18th ultimo. The New York Herald publishes tlie fol lowing details from a private letter: On the 15th it commenced to rain, and on the 16th a genuine rain mid wind set in, lasting until lhe 18th. It seemed as if the very floodgates of heaven had opened, and that a second deluge was upon the world. The wind, too, roared with qrcAdful fury, and all the elements seemed combined for some dreadful carnage. We little thought what was in store for our beautiful city. But soon the tide was told and the destrac tion complete, or almost complete. Tlie storm lasted until late in the evening of five 18th. During ib continuance it appeared an if no human being could live within its reach. Tlie Alamos river was swollen to a great height, and in its wild, headlong course, carried everything before it. ITousos were swept away like so many straws, and whole blocks <‘>f buildings were thrown down likeso ntfuiy tre-js. The Wind was no less terrible than the water. Houses were unroofed and blown to shatters; tiles and like materials Were swiUt-rud through the air like-chaff, and strong trees tpere uprooted,* as if they hurt been' cornstalks. Thu wit jxii-t. of the city is totally destroyed. About, the only buildings saved, worthy of mention, arc the mint, the church, and the old State College. These stood on high grounds, and this adviiulage,. with their solidity, naval them. Dr. Hill, an Ameiicim rusidenl, had three houses carried away, ami is loser to the amount of about Mr. T. Robinson Bonrs, an American doing -a linking busi ness here, had his banking house swcptniwny. Others have suffered severely. Tbe loss of life has been' ipiite large, Sixty dead bodies have Ix-en picked up. Sotne'of them Were mangled fearfully, and <vttld scarcely be recognized. Many of tlie bodies were found miles down the river? Undoubtedly the number found will be largely htcreased by oilier unfortuuaU ones. I have written you these few lines hurriedly, but do not attempt t<> ikscrilJCTir explain this most extraorsii nary phenomenon of n seventy-two hours’ whirlwind tttid deluge. The ruined city or Ahunos was the Athens <•* Niaihn csici ii ‘uekliii, or, nl least, had that reputation. Its women w ere reputed to be the loveliest and most intelligent through out the republic, and Its citizens were highly -poken of as contrasted With I host: of other populations. There .was a great deal of wealth, relinemcnt and luxury among the belter classes. It trine a .sort’ of sanctified .Jerusalem, where the proud Spanish blood and brain held iigceudauoy and would not be poisoned with contact with Indian and negro mixture. Alamos, as u city, luul fame before the great metropolis of \cw York was known. It is old among the many old towns of Mexico. Surrounding it have been some of the richest mines hi the world, and from which the city lias had its chief support. At the time of its destruction it contained npop ulat ion of about7ooo souls, though geograph - real dictionaries place tbe number at 10,000, which Is at least 3,000 too many. Unhappily for its people, the number is lessened through a terrible misfortune, and the “City of Pop lar Groves’' lias fallen to the dust (even as man falls! in its strength. [From the Houston Tinies. A Romance in Texas Life. Mies Guest and a young lady friend —-Miss Seale—having paid o visit ot; horseback to the family of Mr. Ignore, in .Brazos county, Texas, that gentle man, ou their return, escorted them home. Miss Guest was iu flic habit of wearing a small Demuger pistol, from the fact of having had to travel alone to Eastern Texas not long after the war closed. She bad it on her person at the time iu question. As they were riding along, this pistol, from some cause,'exploded in theelothes of Miss Guest, mid Bp wounded one of her fingers that it had to lie removed by amputation. During her confinement from this hurt, she was visited by Mrs. Lenore, and urged to visit her again when she recovered. When she recovered she and Miss Seals again visited the hoftsc ’ •of Mr. Ignore. While there a game of cards was proposed. While Mr. Lenore was assorting the cards from tlx? drawer of a table, Miss Seals . standing by his side and Miss Guest rather behind him, he espied his pistol in the drawer, and, handing it over his shoulder to Miss Guest,, remarked, “How does this pistol com pare with yours She took it, and while examining it, the pistol went off, killing Mr. Leaore instantly. Although there is nothing in all this to give any plausibility' even to an accusation of wrong intent, yet some of the fr-ienda of the unfortunate deceased prosecuted Miss Guest for murder. Bui the prosecution came to nothing, as it ought to have done. The District " Attorney entered a nolle prosequi, the defense demanded a trial. We take pleasure in rcoahlmg the fuel thnt our able fellow lowasnuin, Judge P. W. Gray, volunteered for the defense of Miss Gnwt, and went up t<> Bryan for that sjieeial pnrpoftc. Mis>- Guest is a y oung Indy of high standing and good culture, and i« well 'pokcu ol by all with whom w > have couiuracd who know her. A gnat ! iniaforuiiie has caat its shadow upon I her young life, and we syni|Yatniae i lugh with her and the bereaved Mrs. Iwto'i'O. ... <■» ■ KtiuiTiM- ’iHT ‘‘Tiueij. -—flic Chi va ,r o gamblers, says the would go sbuk mad it the loan oflkes should VeMipprcssed.

A gambler in this city has been known to travel from a faro bank I wcuty times in a single day. At first his watch was “shoved,” then his bosom-pin ; hi sleeve-buttons and studs followed: and one by one he pawned everything lie owned, until he had not the second shirt to his back—all were sw allowed up by that insatiable animal, the “tiger.” That man, in the morning, had #I,OOO in his pocket, and ]H‘rsonal property valued at as much more.
