A small mounted company was sent from Saltillo to recon noitre the Mexican forces assembled at San Elliptic Potosi. i | They ventured too far, were .surrounded by :i thousand ofthe- j ! enemy, and captured. Among these was Capt. Ilf.\uie. of j Texas, who had previously hm-n captured in th< war with I Texas,and escaped.

Argument and law is useless to abate tbo hor rid nuisance ; it must bo done by tbo higher law I power of sarcastic ridicule ofthe prevalent cus tom of letting hogs run in the highway : The corner ofthe Highland Terrace which forms our neighborhood—(a cluster of three ru ral villages, cut off by Moodna Creek and its toll bridge, from the city reach influences of Newburgh)—is charmingly primitive and mrnl. With no pine apples for sale, no frequentation by the gentlemen and ladies who make twenty four excursions from New York, no billiard-la* ble and no newspaper, it is an eddy of still life, left behind iu nnrippied simplicity by the current of progress. Delightfully unaffected and farm er like as life hereabouts is, however, we have a i class of rowdies—-rowdies with a twist to their tails—and they overrule the law as effectually as the rowdies of Now York, and hy the same sort of tacit admission in the mind of the pub lic. The pig interest is too strong to be mod died with. But the wav in which the “higher law’’ is openly claimed for these rural rowdies in the very heart of our pretty village of Canterbury, for instance, is very curious. Out of any one of those nice white houses along the street, will come the most dainty looking young ladies, fresh from tasty parlors, and mammas that take a magazine. The pretty white fence encloses a little garden, with flower beds edged with box, rose-bushes and lilacs. Door bells, or brass : knocker, of course. Inside the gate, all i* “gen teel.” Outside the gate, however—in the street I —on the side—right before the front door and 1 under the parlor windows—stands the family ; pig-trough. The family pigs have the run ofthe i village during the day. and at night and morn ing they come homo for their own particular ; swill—eaten, in the evening, perhaps, while the piano is playing on the other side of the pretty white fence. In dry weather, when there is no bed of mud in the carriage track in the center 1 of the street, the gentleman pig stretches him iself across the sidewalk to sleep ; and, on your wav in the post-office, you may walk round a score or more, or take the middle of the street. \on respect pig. Von see pig lou smell pig. But beautiful young ladies sit in the windows, ! just over the fence. Thu cottagers in the country around would be less particular, of course, iftherow eroaway to bo so, than the more genteel villagers—but the pig-trough outside ihe grate is the unvarying j feature. And these gentlemen outlaws know I the country, and take long walks. Leave a bar | down, or let vour visitors from curiosity (as hap pens to me every day) forget to shut your gate as they enter, and the pigs: are ail over the place. Thev rootedup. im me, yesterday, a green slope covered w ith laurels, upon the beauty of w hich I had particularly set my heart, cherishing it for a foreground to a picture some artist will pabit for me —and it took me and my man an hour to get the unpunishable defacers out once i more on the highway. They get in at night.— Here and there one climbs a wall like a clumsy , boy, dragging it after him as he goes over. The . religious bearing of this hard “tiial” is perhaps 1 the only one that can be safely dwelt upon.— One does not say his prayers near so easily, 1 find, after driving out pigs morning and evening, nor begin very immediately again, to “love his neighbor as himself.” It is against the law—everybody knows—for ! pigs to bo turned loose on a public highway.— Any one of my daily trespassers could be lavv \ fully driven, by me, five miles to the nearest ! “pound”—l could then lawfully take pains that the sheriff gave notice to the owner that his pig ; was diere-jawfuliy see that the poor animal w'ns kept from starving for the several days before lie might be taken away—lawfully go four or five miles to attend the justice’s court, and ap pear as proseeutoi —lawfully pay my own ex penses for this tw’o or three weeks of trouble, travel and vexation—and lawfully make an ene my for life of the owner of the trespassing swine, who would perhaps have a dollar of fine to pay, m consequence ol my prosecution ot j him. All litis it costs to follow up one trespass ! hy one pig. I’ig endurance costs less But the village of Newburgh, only four miles j Irrn us, has outlived tins stage of progress. Tig j vagrancy has been put down in its beautiful j streets—ow ing, however, to the resolute public 1 spirit of a single individual. Downing, to whom the country owes so much for it advances of re- : finement and embellishment, undertook to sup. : press pig at Newburgh, w here he resided. He | was told it was Quixotic —that, the time, money | and trouble it would cost might ruin him—that i his grounds would be disfigured, his trees gird- ■ led, and bis garden of precious plants torn in j pieces by the infuriated people—that the poor 1 had no place to keep their pigs, and there was touch to he got by a smart pig on the public, j highway. His self interest, and pity for the pig proprietor, were both appealed to. He purser vered, however, patiently ami long—and suc ceeded. Now we want such a pig apostle tit Canter bury—some public spirited generous and kindly man, who will make himself remotely beloved and remembered by such a crusade of unpopu larity against the rowdiesat our gules. We wait for him, as New’ ,Yoik for waits her p’g-apostlc. Let us make ready to give their advents a wel come. fn-in file Savanu.tii ftoortfian • olnmbiis in I Mgs. In looking over tin old work, Travels in North America, in the years of and lbtiß, by Captain Basil Hall, of the English Navy, we came across the following description of the foundation of the city of Columbus. It will not, we opine, be read without interest at this time. Twenty-five years ago, this city existed but upon paper, and in the dreams and hopes ol speculators. The advance off leorgia in a quar ter a of centm v, hits no better commentary than the description hero given by Captain Hall, placed in contrast with a detail of the late Bait road festivities between Columbus and .Savan nah . “On the Mist of March we reached the Creek Agency, lying on the right or western bank of the Clinttnhooch'“-, mid from that point made an expedition to a very curious place. “About a year before the period of our visit, that is to suv in the course of 1N:27, an arrange ment was completed by the government of the United States,hv which the Creek nation of In dians were induced to quit the territory lying be tween the (’hattahoochee and the Flint rivers and to move westward within the limits of the State, of Mabatna : thus leaving the vast intermediate district of country at the disposal of the Geor gians. It seems that, according to the laws of I ienrgia, any land so acquired, by what is called the extinction ofthe Indian claims, is divided, by lotterv. amongst the inhabitants of the State.— Everv citizen ‘2l years of age has one draw, as it is called, a married man two draws, a married man with a family, three. I forget the farther particular, and Slave mislaid the act ofthe leg islature upon the subject. I believe, however, that the lots were of-20-* 1-2 acres each. Be these details, however, as they may, the w hole of the country, formerly occupied by a few In dians, was no sooner acquired than it was di vided, in the wav I have mentioned, amongst the people of that State. “When this distribution took place, however, the State government reserved a portion of the country, five miles square, upon which they pro posed to found a city. The situation chosen for this purpose was a spot on the left hank of the Chattahoochee, which is the boundary line be tween the State of Georgia and Alabama. ‘The new city was to commence at the lower end of a long series of falls, or more properly speaking, rapids over which this great river dashes for some miles in a very picturesque manner. The per pendicnlai fall being about ’2OO feet, an immense pow tor turning mills is placed at the disposal of the inhabitants of the future city, within the limits of w hich the whole of this valuable por tion of the river has been included. All the way down to the Gulf of Mexico,also, the navigation ofthe Chattahoochee is unimpeded, so that sev eral steamboats had already made their way up to the spot I am speaking of. “By it law ofthe .State of Leorgia, it was ar ranged that <SO days should elapse, after this portion of land reserved for the city was com pletely surveyed, before any of the building lots could lie sold. These lots were to consist of half an acre each, and the whole five miles square was to lie distinctly marked out in the streets, on paper, and being numbered and lettered ac cordingly, they were to lie advertised for sale over the whole 1 nion. These sixty days were considered sufficient to enable adventurers, set tier*. land speculators, merchants, and all others so disposed, to come to the spot preparatory to the auction. “The project took like wildfire; and the advan tages of the new city being loudly proclaimed over tire land, people flocked from all quarters to see and judge of it for themselves. Wu arriv ed, fortunately, just in the nick of time to see the curious phenomenon of an embryo town—a city as yet without a name.or any existence in law or fact, but crowded with inhabitants, ready to commence their municipal duties at the tap of an auctioneer’s hammer. “On leaving the Creek Agency, we drove for some miles aloii!r tin Indian, or VV estern side of the river, and liieii crossed over by a ferry to the left bank. I u order to see things better, we sent on the carriage, and walked towards Columbus, which, it was understood, was to be the future name ofthe future city. “A gentleman—one of the assembled inhabi tants—had been kind enough to accompany us from the agency, to show off the Lions of this singular place. The first thing to which he called our attention, was a long line cut through the coppice wood of oaks. This, ourguide beg ged us to observe, w as to be the principal street; and the brushwood having been cut away, so as to leave a lane four feet wide, with small stakes driven in at intervals, we could walk along it easily enough On reaching the middle point, our friend, looking around him, exclaimed, in raptures at the prospect ofthe future greatness of < ’olumhus —‘Here you arc in the centre of the city !’ In a very short time—he assured us —it would be no longer a mere path, hut a street sixty vards wide, and one league iu length! By keeping a blight lookout as wo proceeded, we could detect other similar cuts into the forest, branching off’at the right angles to this main avenue—as it was to he called. As yet, how ever, these cross streets were only indicated by a few stakes driven in by the surveyors. “After treadiiia our way for some time amongst the trees, we came in sight, here and there, of huts made partly of plank, partly of bark, and at last reached the principal cluster of houses, verv few of whieh were above two or throe weeks old. Those buildings were of all sizes, from a six-feet box or cube, to a house with half a-dozen windows in front. There were three hotels, the sign belonging to one of which, I could observe, was nailed to a tree still grow- j ing untouched, in the middle of the street. An- 1 other had glazed windows, but the panes ofglass j were fixed in their places merely for the time, by j a little piece of putty at each corner. Every ! thing indicated hurry. “ The direction and width alone of the future j streets were adhered to, but no other description j of regularity could be discovered. As none of! the city lots were vet sold, of course no one was sure that the spot upon which he had pitched his house yvouid eventually become his own.— Every person, it seemed, was at liberty to build where lie could find room, it being understood, that forty days after the sale yvouid be allowed : him to remove his property from the ground on which it stood, should he not himself become its purchaser. In consequence of this under standing many of the houses were built on trucks—a sort of low, strong wheels, such as cannon are supported by—for the avowed pur- i pose of being hurled away when the land should be sold. U least sixty frames of houses were pointed out to mo, lying in piles on the ground, and got up by the carpenters on speculation, ready to answer the call of future purchasers.— i At some parts of this strange scene, the forest, { which hereabouts consists nl a mixture of pines j and oaks, was growing as densely as ever; and | even in the most cleared streets some trees were I left standing, Ido not well know why. Vs yet there had been no time to remove the slumps of: the felled trees, and many that had been felled, j were left in their places ; so that it was oeca- i siomdly no easy matter to get along. Anvils ; were heard ringing away merrily at every cor- : tier ; while saws, axes, and hammers were seen j flashing amongst the woods all round. Stage- j coaches, travelling-wagons, carts, gigs, the | whole family ot wheeled vehicles, immmera- \ ble, were there. Grocery stores and bakeries I were scattered about in great plenty—and over : several doors vva* written,* Attorney at Law.’ “One of the commissioners, from the State ofj Georgia, who had the management of this extra-1 ordinary experiment in colonization, assured me there were upwards of nine hundred inhabitants ! already collected together, though it was ex pected that four months must still elapse before the sale could take place, or the city have any ! legal existenee ! “ Many of these people lieing without houses or even sheds, were encamped in the forest.— Some lived in wagons, and many persons strol- J led about, to pick up quarters and employment; where they best could. As all sorts of artifi- I eers were in demand, it was a fine harvest for i carpenters and blacksmiths. I was told that upon a moderate computation there would pro bably be assembled, on the day of sale, between : three and four thousand people, ready to inhabit the new city. 1 can well believe this, for, du- I ring the short period we were there, many new j comers drooped in from different directions, out i of the forest—like birds of prey attracted bv the \ scent of some glorious quarry. “It must have been a curious sight,after the i auction, to witness the scatter which took place i when the parties came to claim each his own I property—to demolish ro remove the old, and ! raise the new dwelling—to say nothing of the I entangled machinery of police and other muni- : cipal arrangements—the mayor and aldermen j to get up —the town taxes to levy—the school j —the jail—the court house—the church, all to: he erected. In other places, these things rise | up by degrees—but here they must have taken j date all at once, and all in a body ! “1 could form no idea, from what 1 saw or heard on the spot, how this strangely concoe- I ted town would get on ;—nor have I ever since : been able to learn one syllable respecting its progress.’ - The author has been long since dead, and his j work, popularity read a quarter century ago, | has been long since consigned to the shelves of: libraries.

The Mexican papers arc filled with news of a tillibnstering expedition from California into the | Slate of Sonora, and appear to manifest considera ble anxiety in regard to the matter. In regard to the difficulties between Mexico and the United Slates, e take the following from the Trait d’Uniou: “If ever war !-, imminent in Eu rope, we think it may be considered equally so, under certain circumstances, e.-tween the United Stales and Mexico. The violent language of the official journal at Washington bodes nothing good ; ! it would seem that the Government of General j Pierce is to have the Me.-illa valley, and that a mili tary expedition is preparing to contest the point with Gov. Trias provided tie opposes anv resistance, which he will. Certain American correspondence, it is true, declares that General Gadsden, United !

His negotiations consist ] in an offer by the Cabinet at Washington to cut j short all further difficulties, to indemnify Mex’co j for the lflss ofthe Mesilla valley, and to purchase j from her another portion of territory in the valley of i the Gila. The United Stales thus presents in one hand ihe purse, and in the other the sword. IVe j doubt much whether Mexico will accept the fir-t I and must, then, per force, take up the latter.” In | regard to the rights of Mexieo to the Mesilla, it has i the following: “M. Salazar [lllarigui, Chief of the Mexican Boundary Commission, has sent to the government j a long and remarkable work upon the subject. Mr. ; Salazar maintains and proves that Mexico has an j iaeonte-stible right to that portion of territory and that, the decisions ollhe Commission are of the same force as ihe stipulations ot the ireaty of Gnadnlonpe. Ilis convictions are so strong that he lias intimated to the government that he will send in his resigna tion if ilie least concessions are made to Gen. L ine. Thus rests the question on both sides.

On Friday morning at two o’clock, the freight i train which loft Wilmington for Philadelphia, ran j into Brnndvwine creek, at the draw ot the blidge ; on the outskirts of the town. The bridge tender says he gave the proper signals hut no attention was paid to them. j The locomotive, tender, and two large platform burthen ears were precipitated into the creek, pre ! seating a mass of rums. The engineer, named Gaia in, and the fireman were drowned. The con ductor, and other persons on the train fortunately escaped. If it had been a passenger train, the ac cident would have been equal to the Norwalk ca tastrophe. The accident was caused by the bridge tender iroing to sleep. He beard the whistle of the train coming out of Wilmington, and in his fright does not know what he did. He thinks, however, that he raised his lantern, which was the proper signal that all was right. Thus the officers of the train were deceived, and thought all was right, and went ahead. Charles Garvin, the engineer, belongs to Elkton, ! and is unmarried. Reuben Titus, the fireman, was crushed beneath the engine, tender and three platform cars loaded with cross ties. The bridge tender is a very worthy and sober man, ! and lias been keeper of the bridge for six years.— jHe was only on duty every other night. After let j tingthe train from Philadelphia across at 12 o’clock, feeling tired, he thought he would lie down. He ! fell asleep, and was so alarmed that be did not know : what lie did. This is his own statement. He was so overcome by his feelings that he atteppted sui cide. He has been arrested on the charge of mur der, and held to hail before the New Castlo County j Court. The verdict of the jury exonerates the company i entirely from all blame, as the instructions of ihe bridge tender were of ihe most explicit character.
