Picayune , 28lh uU. ] 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 Republican, AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MOANING, OCTOBER 4 Eleotion Returns and Foreign News, see first page. 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, to Fort Benton and thence to the mountains. 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 St. Louis, was serenaded recently at Spezzia by a large company of Italians in boats, and receiv ed a complimentary address from them in com memoration of his conduct at Smyrna. The bridge spanning the Potomac river at the Point of Rocks is nearly finished, and is open for transit. The superstructure is of wood, 1,400 feet long, with a double track, resting on seven stone piers and stone abutments. 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 smugglers; and in order to the establishment of uniformity in the charge of duties on articles of wood, more particular directions are issued. A bold attempt at swindling by a bill of la ding.jpurportingto be signed by‘‘Messrs. Doilner & Potter, of New York, per J. 8.,0f merchandise professedly sent by Bailey & Abbott, was at tempted a few days since on the house of Messrs- James rl. Cadbourn & Co., ot Wilmington, N. C. The amount of the invoice was $1.82'), and a sight draft for SIOOO proposed; but a telegraph ic dispatch sent to and answered from New- York,settled the whole matter a as forgery. Two other houses in Wilmington received similar let ters, with invoices and bills of landing to vari ous amounts. An extensive movement and change of sta tions of United States troops had just been order ed as follows, viz: Four companies of the Ist artillery ordered to Forts Moultrie and Monroe; 2 companies to the Rio Grande, and one company to Fort Catron, East Florida. Four companies of 2d artillery to the Penin sula of Florida, 1 company to Pensacola, Fla., and one company to Baton Rouge Barracks, La. Six companies of the 3d artillery to the Pacific, 1 company (light battery) to Fort Gibson, Conn. Two companies of the 4th artillery to Fort Independence, Mass. The regimental commanders are charged with the duty of designating which companies of their command shall fill this order. The troops order ed South, will not move until after the yellow fever has subsided. 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. [ Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Arrival of the Steamer America.
