from Texas— Arrival of the Steamship
Louisiana.
By the arrival ol the steamship Louisiana,
Cap-. Jeremiah Smith, we are placed in posses
sion ot lull files ol Texas papers. Our dates are
from Galveston the 23 1 mst., from Houston to
the 23d, trom ludianoia the 20th, Irom San An
tonia to the 15cb, and to correspondingly late
dates trom other tarts of the State.
We regret to perceive that the yellow fever
still prevailed at Galveston and other towns, in
some ot which it had. indeed, rather increased
in virulence.
The Galveston Civilan, of the 20th, after first
premising that the prevailing epidemic must ac
count tor all defects in the paper, and that it
might be cons dered lortuna e that lorce enough
couid be kept together to enable it to be issued
at all. proceeds to make the lollowigg observa
tions :
fne epidemic rages with unabated violence
and seems destined to constitute the darkest
p ge in the history of our otherwise fortunate
city. The disease is oeitamly more malignant
as well as moie extensive than any which has
heretolore visited Galveston. Its peculiar vic
tims are the unaccinnated, but even those who
have before had the fever have been attacked,
though lightly in some instances, and, in one
case, a native child died with biack vomit. Al
ready about two hundred persous have fallen
victims, and three times that number have been
attacked. As the mortality is confined almost
exclusively to the unacclimated, most ot whom
seem to have beeu already attacked, we cannot
but hope the worst work ot the epidemic is over.
We dare not dwell upon the suffering and gloom
which surround us. The darkne-s is relieved,
however, by daily and nightly deeds of magnan
imity and sell-sacrifice which reflect honor upon
human nature.
i he Galveston News, of the 23d, does net, in
deed, represent the state of affairs as then quite
as gloomy as the Civilan did, or even give pre
cisely the same views of the scope which the
disease had taken; but it leaves no room to
doubt the very serious effects which it had pro
duced, or the tact cl continuing almost or quite
as virulent as ever. It says :
The epidemic commenced in this city the last
week ol August, only some lew sporadic cases of
yellow fever having occurred previous to that
time, being mostly the passengers of the steamer
Mexico. The whole number of deaths since
that time, both in the city and hospital, as near
ly as we can estimate, is about 235 or 240, of
which number three fourths were probably of
yellow fever. As we have before stated, we
believe the balance of our citizens have been as
exempt from sickness as usual, at this season of
the year. We regret much our inability to give
a full list of ail the names of the deceased, but
hope we may yet be enabled to do so. It will
be seen by the sexton’s report that we have had
thirty interments during the past three days.—
Thi3 indicates but a slight mitigation of the epi
demic, though the preset.t unusually cold weath
er is believed by most persons to be favorable.—
We do not hear of so many new cases to-day as
usual, and we hope to see some improvement
soon.
We subjoin the sexton’s returns for the ten
days commencing on Tuesday, the 13th, and
ending on Thursday, the 22d:
Tuesday 9 Sunday 19
Wednesday 13 Monday 15
Thursday 7 Tuesday 11
Friday 12 Wednesday 9
Saturday 11 Thursday 10
Total 110
From these it w ill be perceived that the average
daily number of deaths during the period was
eleven, and that for the past three days tnev had
not be-m above that, and lor two days had been
below it. We trust, therelore, that we may ex
pect the next intelligence to bring us acaounts of
its gradual disappearance.
The vexed question of quarantine still called
forth the action ot the citizens of Galveston. In
the News, of the 23d, we find a requisition, sign
ed by upwards of twenty ol toe leading firms of
the city, tor a public meeting, “ in view of the
general prevalence ot the epidemic in Galveston,
as well as ot tae greatly improved health of N.
Orleans, lor the purpose ol considering the pro
priety of suspending the present quarantine.”—
The News advocates tne suspension of the qua
rantine, after brn fly reviewing tne chiel points
bearing on the question, but suggests that it
might perhaps not be linpioper lor the meeting
to express an op mon on the propriety of enforc
ing quarantine against unacclimated emigrants,
should any arrive during the existence of the
present epidemic.
Among the late deaths at Galveston, from the
epidemic, we observe those ot Major F. R San
derson, U. $. A , and Prof. Ruter, who had ar
rived tbe<e m the Perseverance. Concomitant
circumstances have g veu to their cases an unusu
al prominence. We quote the following on the
subject from the News ot the 23d :
A coroner’s j ry was summoned on Friday
last, to inquire into the deatn of Major F. R.
Sanderson, ol the U. S Army, who died at the
Pa merto House early on that morning. Major
San lerson had come a passenger on the steam
si ip Perseverance, the Tuesday previous, arid
the evidence showed that he had complained of
sickness during the passage, but it was supped
t> be only sea-sickness. On his arrival here he
became moreunwreli and finally came on shore,
(though he was destined lor ludianoia) in order
to have medical attendance. His physician con- 1
sidered him so much better on Thursday tnat he !
thought no more medicine necessary. Major S.
himself said he was much better, and declined
the attendance proffered him oy one of his Ma
sonic brethren of this city, as he thought he cou d
sleep better if Jett to himself. The evidence be
fore the jury showed that he was apparently
sleeping contortably as late as 12 o’clock that
night, hut that he was found dead between 4 and
5 o’clock next morning, with appearances of
black vomit about his face. No other cause of
death being proven, the verdict ol the jury, ren
dered yesterday, was, therefore, that he died of
the prevailing epidemic.
We consider it ptoper in this connection to
state, that the above examination before the cor
oner s jury elicited evidence to the effect that
Major Sanderson had been robbed eitner before
or after his death. The testimony given, as well
as the statements male by hirnseif, proved that
he was sufficiently supplied with money for all
bis wants, and had therefore declined all pecu
niary aid trom bis brother Masons. After his
death, but two dimes could be found in his pock
et-book, or about his person, or in the trunk
which he had taken to his room. On last Satur
day morning, an Irish servant girl of the Pal
metto House passed off a one hundred dollar bank
note, of Alabama, supposing it to be one dollar
and received change accordingly. The investi
gation of the robbery was immediately entered
upon before Justice Rump. The girl above re
ferred to, and the clerk ot the Palmetto House,
were last Monday committed for trial at the next
Districk Court. Cot. Thayer, th“ proprietor of
the Pdimetto House, has been under arrest since
Saturday last, but his examination has been
postponed on account of his being unwell. We
understand he will be examined before the ma
gistrate’s court to-day. The evidence appears
to establish the fact that a robbery has been
comrriitted, beyond a doubt. The charge made
by affidavit embraces both the roobeiy of Maj >r
Sanderson and Prof. Ruter, both of whom came
over on the same boat, stopped at the same house,
and weie sick there at the same time. Prof.
Ruter’s death did not take place till last Monday
morning.
From the same paper we quote the following
paragraph:
We are glad to announce that a letter from a
friend enables us to contradict the report of Col
Wm. T. Austin’s death. This letter states that
he was taken sick at Mr. Gaston’s on Oyster
creek, a little above Richmond, where he lay
for eight days with the yellow fever. He was
afterwards able to ret irn to his family in Wash
ington,and is now well. The same letter says
there were four deaths in Houston on the 18th
inst.
A correspondent of the News, writing from
Nacogdoches on the 13th inst., says :
About a week ago a man named James Sartin
was murdered near Henderson b\ his son-in-law,
named Graham. Sartin bad left Henderson on
his way home, and according to the statement of
G raham, who confesses the deed, stopped at his
(Graham’s) house, and attempted to treat Gra- ;
ham with violence. When Sartin afterwards
mounted his horse and rode off, Graham shot him
in the back This statement was not fully cred- j
ited by those who had examined the position of
the murdered body, and it was suspected that
Sartin had been waylaid. However, Sartin was
a violent man and had previously threatened
Graham, Moreover, Sartin had some time since
killed his own brother, ft is a singular tact,
then, that the murderer ol a brother should perish
by the hands of his own son-in-law.
The News gives the following account ol a
desperate attempt to escape from the Galveston
jail by three prisoners, two of whom were suc
cessful.
The Irish girl, committed on the charge of
being concerned in the robbery of Major San
derson, last Thursday night, wasp aced in a pas
page extending through The jail, in trorit of the
ceils. Mr. Miller, the jailor, had gone for his
supper, having left the k-ys of his cells hanging
in his own room, but in a part at a considerable
distance from the grated door opening into the
above passage. The girl procured the keys, it is
supposed, by reaching through the grates of the
door, with a long stick furnished by Hollister,
who has been confined for nearly a year on a
charge ol forgery. The slick was made by split
ting a piece ot board in Hollister’s cell, and spli
cing the pieces by tying them together till the
length was sufficient. Having thus obta ned
the keys, the girl opened the cells ol three of the
prisoners, but as the jailor had the key of the
outside door, they couid not escape. The three
then went into the corporation cell, where they
lay concealed until Mr- Miller returned. After
Mr. Miller had entered and relocked the outside
door after him, he commenced lighting a candle,
but while in this act the three pi isoneis rushed
upon him, took from him his double-barrel pis
tol, and endeavored to choke hirn, and crammed
a handkerchief into his mouth to prevent him
from giving any alarm After struggling some
time, and receiving considerable injury, Mr.
Miiler finally so far extricated himself as to be
able to unlock the outside door, arid give an
alarm, still, however, holding on-to Hollister
with a firm grasp. Meantime, the other two
made their escape ; but assistance soon anived,
when Hollister was again confined and heavily
ironed. The prisoners who escaped are George
McDonald, committed on a charge of burglary in
this city, arid a young man named Clark, a U. S.
soidier, from Corpus Christi, committed on a
charge of stealing Government mules.
We are glad to learn from the Houston Tele
graph that the yellow fever wa3 there assuming
a milder form, at the same time that the number
of cases were diminishing. The Telegraph of
the 23d says:
The weather has been quite cool for the last
three or four days, and hopes are entertained that
few more cases will occur.” The disease, thus
far, has beeu confined almost exclusively to the
central portions of the city, and the few cases
that have occurred in the outskirts of the town
have all been of a very mild type. We hope
ere another week has passed that we shall be
enabled to say that the city is free from an epi
demic.
The sexton’s returns show that the deaths
from yellow tever in Houston were: On the
15th, 5; 16th, 1; 17th, 4; 18th, 3; 21st, 3. Be
sides, there were interred, on the 16th, an in
fant, for whose death no cause is assigned; on
the 17th a female, who died from inflammation;
on the 19th, three, in two of whose cases no
causes is assigned, and in that of the other chron
ic disease is given; and on the 21st, a child, for
whose death no cause is assigned.
We copy the following paragraphs from the
Telegraph:
Major Scott, the mail agent of the State, has
started on a tour through the western counties
to regulate the mails in that section.
Frank H. Clark has assumed the the editorial
charge of the Jeffersonian Heiaid.
We learn from the Colorado Tribune that the
work of removing the raft in the Colorado is
not progressing favorably. A number of work
men were engaged to remove the logs, and, after
cutting a few cords of wood, they all abandoned
: the work. The editor of the Tribune thinks
that about one third of the appropriation will be
squandered before the work is lairly commen
ced.
We understand that a large number of the
Representatives and Senators of Eastern Texas
are pledged to vote lor a bill authorizing the
| main track of the Pacific Railroad to be con
structed through the State on the parallel ot 32
! degrees nortn latitude; with a branch to Fulton,
River, and another tw Fullerton’s Bluff, on the
j Sabine.
The editor of the State Gazette objects to this,
i and asserts thafcthe East is claiming the lion’s
| share of ra Iroads. He proposes that the East-
I ern and Western delegates shall unite on one
grind trunk rail road to connect on our eastern
| borders with the Vicksburg or Opelousas Rail
road, and extending on the parallel of thirty-two
degiees to El Paso.
The commissioner appointed by Gov. Bell to
examine the Harrisburg Railroad, has reported
that the road has been completed nineteen and
a halt miles; and the Comptroller has authorized
thefCommissioner of General Land Office to issue
land scrip tor 99 840 acres of land. We under
stand that the company has made arrangements
to extend the road thirty miles further without
crossing the Brazos.
Offers have been made to their agents at the
North to lurnish iron for the bonds of the com
pany at a discount of upwards ot 60 per cent.
When their lands are located, they will doubtless
i be at»le to ob am iron and other materials upon
much better terms. The citizens of Richmond
propose to extend a branch road from the east
bang of the Brazos to intersect this railroad op
posite that town.
Business and building, we are glad to see,
were briskly progiesstng, although in what is
considered the season when dullnes was to be
expected
1 tie Commercial also affords the following
paragraph :
Frank Hulsman, who was so dangerously
stabbed in this city some two weeks since, we
are glad to see, undei the care ot Drs. Johnson
and Haynie. is gradually improving, with a lair
prospect ot final recovtry.
1 he Palestine Advocate, of the 10th, says that
a new paper to be called the Printer was to be
established in the neighboring town of Crockett.
: The same paper announces the death of Mr.
j S P. Dodson, who. whiie descending a well, was
I overcome by the damp or fixed air, tell out of
1 the bucket some thirty-five feet, lay at the bot
j tom tor hours, and was quite dead when got
out. b
The Victoria Texan Advocate, of the 17th
inst, says the people of Bastrop have called a
| meeting for the purpose of raising tunds towards
I the rebel of the sufferers at New Orleans.
The same paper has the following paragraph :
The elements begin to look rather squally in
the neighborhood of the Rio Grande. Uncle
Sam is sending a respectable force into that vi
cinity, and Santa Anna is doing the same thing.
It is not at all probabie that the “ Northern Bar
barians” will deport themselves in a very con
conciiiatory manner in such proximity to the
forces of “ the Great Napoleon of the South.”
It is no unreasonable conclusion that insults and
retaliation will eventually lead to a collision of
arms and the shedding of blood. When a war
shall have commenced it is difficult to conjecture
when and where it will end. We have an
overflowing treasur , and every means of dicta
ting our own terms to Mexico. All disputes
will probably be lorever settled, at the termina
tion of the war between Mexico and this coun
try; and the amount of nationality and of terri
tory left that vainglorious and imbecile people
will depend entirely upon the benevolence of
the baibarians.” We look upon a war as by
no means improbable.
Jhe LaGsatige Monument, of the 21st, says
Gen. Carvajal is said to be engaged in survey
ing lands in Starr county. He has an interest
ing family to support, and intends establishing a
rancho forty miles east of Laredo.
The Bastrop Advertiser says that between
800 and S9OO have been subscribed, chiefly by
Masons, as a reward for the apprehension ot the
murderer of Mr. Young. We understand that a
man was arrested in Bastrop last Saturday, on
suspicion of being the murderer.
The Henderson Flag, ot the 15th, gives the
following accouut of the killing of James R.
Sartiu, by Graham;
His confession was, that Sartin had called at
his house on the evening of the sth, and after
inquiring who lived there, and how his daugh
ter was, he went into the house and called tor
Graham, saying that he should not wait on his
daughter any longer ; that his tune had come ;
that Graham and. Sartin rushed together and
took hold ot Graham s gun; that Graham, having
bold ot the muzzle and Sartin the breech, pu led
Sartin to the door where there was an axe,
holding the gun with one band, and struck Sar
tin several blows on the back of the head ; that
he let go the gun and struck him on the back,
that he fell—he arose—called for water, and
having bled a good deal, went out, got on his ;
horse and started home. That Graham asked if l
he would interrupt him any more ; that Sartin
replied he would see about it; that Graham said
he wouldteee about it too ; that he took his gun
and followed Sartin ten paces from the house and
shot him. There was a great deal of rebutting
testimony introduced on the part of the State
before Justices Bennett Smith and W. W.
Baker. The court of inquiry, consisting of
these gentlemen, commenced on Wednesday,
the 7th inst., and terminated on last Tuesday.
The prisoner, Graham, was ordered to jail, with
out bail, 1 o await his final trial at the next term
of the District Court.
The Tyler Telegraph, of the 10th, says Gen.
Rusk passed through that place on the sth inst.,
and was entertained at a public dinner by the
citizens.
We copy the following instance of precocity
from the si rue paper :
A good deal has been said of late about the
precocity of American youth, but all that we
have seen of them is completely outstripped by a
Mexican “boy” ot San Antonio. He attempted
to give in his vote at the late election, but from
his youthful appearance his vote was challenged,
and it was proven on oath that he was but
thirteen years of age. The Ledger says that he
has a wile and a child one year old, and for the
sake of gratifying curiosity, the editor of that
paper was led to consult a physician on the sub
ject, ane was assured that this "bov” could not
have been exceeding eleven years at the tur e of
his marriage.
What will our little shavers who exult at the
idea of spot ting a puny moustache before they
have attained the height of a common walking
cane, think of this extraordinary youth, who has
so early taken upon himself the “ responsibili
ties of lile,” and who rejoices in the appellation
of “Father,” whilst they cannot procure a cog
nom-n more dignified than that of‘‘Little Bud.”
The following paragraphs are from the Colum
bia Democrat ol the 20th :
The Brazos river has risen four feet since yes
terday morning.
About thirty bales of new cotton have been
received at this town within the past week.
A planter of this neighborhood informed us
the other day that he had gathered 1,200 pounds
of cotton, including seed, from one acre of his
field at the first picking. He is confident, if his
present prospects continue, that he will make
two bales to the acre on several acies of his
land.
From El Pago.
The intelligence from El Paso, received by
the Louisiana, is no later than that which we
have already published, but some particulars of
interest are given in the San Antonio Ledger
and the Western Texan, of that city. A corre
spondent of the former paper, referring to the
robbery and slaughter of an emigrant party by
the Apache Indians in the Guadalupe Moun
tains, says:
Four of the party having been kil'ed by the
Indians at the com: encement, a proposition
was made to endeavor to effect an escape out of
the canon in the direction in which they en
tered it, (this being the only chance of escape
on horseback,) but a further development con
vinced them that they had the enemy to contend
with even in their tear. There was, then, no
other alternative left but to fight desperately lor
their lives. Patton, who commanded the par
ty, implored the men to stand together, and
make as desperate a struggle as they possibly
could ; and this the poor iellows did. Ten out
ot the thirteen were killed on the ground, three
of the number made their escape, but their suf
ferings and extreme hardships were almost tan
tamount to death in its most horrifying shape.
Two of the party were out eight days beso r e
they arrived in the settlements, during the
whole of which time they had not tasted one
particle of food; three days ot the above period
they were without anything in the shape of
water, save the blood of their horses, which they
killed tyr the purpose of drinking their blood.
One of the party who escaped has since died
lrorn the effects of the exposure, privations and
suffe-ing incurred while making his escape.
The remaining two looked much more like ten
ants of the grave than ot earth when they ar
rived ; they are, however, apparently recover
ing, and I loubt not will recover entirely.
He gives the names of the party, as follows :
Win. Patten, (in command.) George Cooper,
Benjamin Cooper, James Troy, John O’Don
nell, William Runnels, Samuel Patrick William
Cheney, Red River county, Texas, James Har
ris, Lamar county, Texas; Thomas Brewer,
j Hopkins county, Texas; Lewis Richardson,
; (escaped and .lied subsequently.) Red River
' county, Texas; escaped and living, James Harpe
and William L. Biggs.
He strongly urges the necessity for a better
defence being secured by the Government for
| this frontier. He says ‘
The nearest post to these settlements is that
of Fort Fillmore, forty-live miles distant, and
j by the time an express is despatched from hence
to that post after the commission of some out-
I rage, and the same arrives u t that post, the Indi
i ans will have been far in their mountain tast
: nesses, in which event it be folly in the
: extreme to pursut them, unless with the deter
mination and force sufficient to prosecute a
i thorough campaign into the heart of their moun
i tain homes. Again, the Apache tribe has never
; \et been whipped, and the success which has
almost invauably attended these Indians in
their sevfral conflicts with American forces,
have not been productive of very decided opin
ion on their part as to the ability o! our Govern-
I ment to punish them. They have heard a
great deal about the certainty of the chastise
ment which Amenrans inflict upon thei«- ene
mies, but they have experienced none of it.
The Western Texan quotes the following
from a private letter received from El Paso by
Col. Craig.
Judge Ankrin, with a paityof thirty men—
mostly Mexicans—left on the 22d August, to
i search for a pass through the mountains between
El Paso and the Pecos. The Judge expects to
! find a shorter route than the one now traveled
and will be absent about two weeks.
National Horse Show.
It has before been announced that a horse
fair—a grand exhibition of the most noble ot
domestic animals—comprehending every blood
and breed, is to be holden at Sprinfield, Mass ,
on Wednesday, October, 18, which is to con
tinue until the close ot the week. This will be
the first national exhibition of the kind brought
out m the United States, and its announcement
has been received with general favor wherever
j the knowleege of its novelty, its advantages and
| its interest has been made known. To extend
j its usefulness, arid to show that there is nothing
I local nor sectional in its objects, the managers
enter under the auspices of the Nat ional Agri
cultural Society, of which Marshall P. Wilder is
President. The Board of Managers is constitu
ted as follows :
George Dwight, President; James M. Thomp-
ice-President; B. F. Warner, Treasurer;
William Stowe, Corresponding Secretary ; Geo.
M. Atwater, Chairman of Finance Committee ;
William Pynchon, Chairman of Committee on
Premiums; H. S. Noyes, Recording Secretary.
The circular of the Commitee says:
It is designed to be a national exhibition, and
inducements will be offered which, it is hoped
and.expected, will bring out horses from all
parts ot the Union, and from our Canadian
neighbors on the north. The committee have
assurances, already, from various quarters, that
such will be the case. The committee have
made arrangements with the railroads centering
here, to bring all horses designed for exhibition
free of charge ;and it is hoped that a similar ar
rangement may be made with railroads at a dis
tance. The exhibition is df signed for purposes
both of show aud sale —considerations which,
combined, must prove immensely attractive.
The managers will use every exertion to give
each horse its proper place and posit ion. It is
their intention that no expense shall be spared
to give all the necessary facilities for the display
and exhibition ot of all horses entered for sale or
exhibition, and it will be seen by the scale of
premiums; published herewith that no ordinary
inducements are held out to encourage a liberal
competition.
A Board of Judges, composed of practical men,
will be appointed, and premiums are offered for
the best horses, ranging from S2OO down to 23,
to be awarded to the best stallions, geldings,
breeding mares, matched horses, fancy hofses,
colts, farm or draughts horses, ponies, &c. The
largest premium (200) is offered for the best
stallion of seven years and over.
Jenny Lind has got a bady. The “Otto of
Roses” is distilled. The fountain that has fed
multitudes with the effluence of holiest song,
now feeds holiest humanity, that does its own
singing. No more white gloves, enclosing fren
zied fingers, applauds the virgin cantratiice, but
little hands, softer than kids, pat one another
gently and joyously in the eyes of the young
mother. “Ahmon silt’ 1 is sung no more over the
parquette, but over the cradle. What a dear lit
tle dailing the bady must be! We think we
see Otto going into the room containing his
double treasure. What to him is opera, as he
bends over the sweet little snub-nose tjaat nes
tles in its noble mother’s arms ! Think of them
all there together, and tell us, oh! ascetic old
bachelor, and old maid unmarried from choice,
iif there exists such a marvel.) whether you
think such happiness is to be cavalierly sneezed
at ? Does it not moisten the mouth of your
imagination? We pause, for we have waked
the baby. Jog the cradle, Otto.— Springfield

A letter received from a gentleman attached
to Stevens’ Surveying expedition dated Fort
Union, August 6th states that the whole party
were rendevouzing there, having made so far
three different lines of survey. No accident
had occurred except to a soldier named White,
who accidently shot himself dead. The party
were to move again on the Bth, in two parties,

Mexico and her English Creditors.—
The London News contains a letter addressed
by President Santa Anna, of Mexico, to his
Excellency, Senor Don Castillory Lanzas, the
Mexican minister at London, and by him com
municated to the chairman of the committee of
Mexican bondholders, agreeably to the inten
tions of Santa Anna, in which he expresses his
satisfaction that Mexican bonds have risen four
to five per cent, in consequence of the news of
the formation of a national bank in Mexico>
which was to take the charge of punctually pay
ing the interest of the national debt. He de
clares his determination to use every endeavoi
toaecurethe regular payment of interest due
Mexican bondholders, and adds, “ I shall not
rest nor retire from the Government until I see
established a railway, a bank, and a good system
of goverent finance.”
Commander Ingraham, of the Sloop of War

The bridge spanning the Potomac river at the
Point of Rocks is nearly finished, and is open
for transit. The superstructure is of wood,

The Baltimore Cotton Plant says that a res
ponsible house has been established at New Or
leans, possessed of all the necessary facilities to
carry out practically and successfully the desira
ble object of direct shipment of Cotton to the
Continent of Europe. It is said that the object
of the movement is to lay the foundation of a
new system of trade, which while it will end, if
successful, in the individual benefit of the plan
ter, will increase the consumption of cotton—
relieve Liverpool of her surplus, and by creating
a Continental Depot, give a regular and just
value to that great staple.
The Treasury Department has just issued
some important circulars. One is addressed to
con uis, and instructs those officers that where
consular certificates to invoices of goods destined
for trie United States are required they shall be
granted only by the consul nearest to the place
where such goods have been manufactured or
prepared for exportation; and a reasonable time
is to be allowed consuls to examine invoices in
order that their accuracy may be ascertained and
verified. Collectors of customs and other reven
ue officers of the frontier and lake poits are di
rected to exercise greater vigilance over Indian

A Man With Twenty Wives. —A man call
ing himself Dr. Wm. Hunter, but whose real
name is said to be Nathaniel J. Bird, is in jail at
Camden, N. J., on a charge of bigamy, and vari
ous other charges. On Sunday Elizabeth Her
rington, a lady of Philadelphia, visited him in
prison, and ascertained he was the man to whom
she was married on the 9th of July last. On
same day he was visited by another lady from
Kensington, named Mary Thomas, to whom he
was married in May last. It is also stated that
he has a wife in Reading, another in Wilming
ton, Del., and another yet in Philadelphia. The
prisoner is only about 23 years of age, and, it is
stated, declares that he has twenty wives, a state
ment which may be true, as more than one
fourth of that number has been found within a
few days. It is alleged that he abandoned each
wife soon after marriage, and that they never
heard of him after until his recent arrest. The
affair creates the greatest excitement in Cam
den, and has induced an immense number or
people to seek admission for the purpose of see
ing him.
Mineral Wealth of New Mexico. —We
are continually hearing of new discoveries of
mineral wealth in New Mexico. Major Grie
ner, late Secretary of the Territory, it appears,
has returned to Santa Fe as the agent of a com
pany, to purchase lands supposed to be valuable
on account of their containing layers of metals,
quicksilver, &c. The Columbus (Ohio) Journal,
in noticing Major Greiner’s departure for Santa
Fe. says:
When on his tours of duty among the Indians ,
he frequently found evidence of mineral wealth,
which h« preserved. He also found at one j
place quicksilver in the liquid form on the sur
face. By turning over a stone, or examining
a depression in the surface of the ground, glob
ules, frequently of some amount were found,
which could be easily taken up. He brought
home a small vial of this, as it there exists in the
natural state. These specimens ha took to
Washington, and submitted them to the inspec
tion and examination of the curious. They
were new to him, and he did not profess to
know their value.
Several gentlemen of wealth and intelligence,
after an investigation, became satisfied that
there was a large amount of valuable metals,
&c., where these specimens were found. They
determined to form a company and secure the
land. They organized an association, sent lor
Greiner to visit Washington, and there offered
him such inducements that he started forthwith
to Santa Fe. He arrived at Independence in
season to go over with the mail train on the Ist
of September, and is now again on his journey
over the plains. He goes with unlimited pow
ers to purchase as much as he thinks advisable,
and to act in all things as his judgment sug
gests.
