From the Rio Grande, Direct, j The following extra is from a leiier re ceived in tbl* city dated : Brownsville, ‘(Texas,) May 19,8552. • • • Our relations with itie autliori-j lie* and people ol Mexico are very pre- | rarioui. Depredations by resident* of Mexico are committed every day upou : our line*. Our fanners are killed and i robbed by ilieie marau ling Mexican*. j who ere raid to have order* from their : Government *n to do. And idler tlte ar- / romplishment ol their outrageous deeds, I have hut to re-cro* die Rio Grande, and find prnlerlinit within tle limit* of the Republic of Mexico, where neither nor law* nor treaty stipulation* can reach them. More than thirty American citizen* I have already fallen victim*, and -a far no j *tep have hern taken, either by the Fed eral or the State Governments, to secure to oi our right* and persunal safety to •uch an extent a* we have a right to de mand and expect. Some days ago, the riticeni of Rio Grande City, on this river, caught two of the above named traveling gentlemen, and executed them, “a la Lynch.” They confessed, before they were hnng, that they and about ninety more were acting under a commission is sued by General Aunt**, commander of the troops of the State Tamanlipns, and the reason the dead (tltose they killed) were always found without the right hand, was that they always hid to produce the same lo the General, in order to get n re ward of thirty dollar* for killing each anti every American on this frontier; and fur liter, they slated, that their oi tiers were to detlory all ihe rancho* (plantations) on the river, and take all the property tliey j could lay hold of, into Mexico, and apply j the same to their own use and purpose.-;: and that their Government would hold them harmless of nil consequences. A general panic is here prevailing—and • ven in this (own, though under the pro tection of Fort Brown, with plenty of ar tillery and about one bundled soldiers, we do not consider ouselyet *afe. Gen. Aiialaslius gathered under his immediate command, without nor view, 5,000 Mrxiran toilder-, well armed and equipped, with the following number of cannons, to-wit: 1 sixty-eight pounder, directed from Fort Pamirs directed to this town, 1 fifty do. do., 2 twenty-four do. do. 3 twelve do. do., 4 six do. do.— And in and about Mai-tmorus, opposite Fort Brown, 2 forty-eight pounders, 5 twelve pounders, 3 hotvixers, 2 t rive and 4 four pounders, with I ten inch tnorutr; to which, in rase of an invasion from tlieii side, we could not oppose 200 fighting men, on account of our want of arms. A beam'd il state of affairs this is l and j well may we ask, what is our Government about? Will the sages at Washington not take measures to guard and protei t this frontier, or are we to he treated like step-children, and in their opinion not worthy to enjoy like privileges with other parts of the Union * Yours, &r. J. F. Speak in g of the Democratic nomina tion, the N. York Times savs: * Tl.e Democratic Convention has ended it, ardorous labors. Fuur days’ session, and forty-nine ballots, were spent in the effort to eclert from the half doxen leadiuu Democrat* of the Union, a Presidential candidate. The ta.-k wa* ion much for them. The attempt was finally aban doned, and every candidate named du ring the first three days, or voted for do ring the first thirty five ballots, whs thrown aside. r J’he Democracy took re fuge from their embarrassment* in utter obscurity. They have selected n candi date whose name not one in a thousand ol the American people have ever heard be fore, and who has neither high < haracier nor eminent service to show as hi. wairant for so high a trust. The fist I that he was unknown to the country, is the great lad which controlled the action of the Con vention. ••ll ii very clear that he it relied upon \ to carry the F ree-Soil rule of the Sorth- j ertt Slalet. New York ha* coni rolled this nomination, alih mgli by an adroit ; management of the wires, the Southern puppets first popped up the play. Mr.! Grover, of New York, in Convention, : With well feigned consultation, -when the leading Free-Soiler of this State hail said in this city, a day or t n loiore, “We shall let them hollot a while longer, nut! then Franklin Pierre will he the man.”— Ms. Pierce had taken good care not to answer the letter of Mr. Knlieit Scott, and the remark of the Richmond Enqui rer, in publishing the other letters, that it would “undertake to guarantee that his “reply, fully and affirmatively responsive •to Mr. Scott's interrogatories woolddtave also bean received, but for hit distance “front the city, ami the irregularity oj the ntailt,” indicates that both the Equirtr and Mr. Scott were parties to the game. About a month ago, moreover. General Pilfow made a visit to General Pierre, in New Hampshire; and alllnugh I* fa did in secttriog for hinisel r ,in Convention, the Vice Presidential nomination, the tripiel may (how that he did not irhu/fy tail in <h object of his mission. It was appa rent Iron# the begining that, as the friends •i' Csss, Buchanan and Douglass, would not sacrifice either to the other, and ns one-third of the Convention had always no absolute veto upon its action, the Free-Sopers of tjie North ooWd roniro l the ■>,-lection. And hy presenting Marry 1 as their ostensible choice, and thus diver* j ■ini; to him the special hostility of tin South unit! the prop r moment had arri ved, they weie enabled, hy the cn-opper uiiou of tho-e Southern leader* who were; ill llie pi..i, i(> li iig General Pierce, wiih resistless strength before tile Coti venton.” . INDEPENDENCE ? j The Wcshiugtnn correspondent of tin- : New York Times furnishes the following account ol die influence which ’*s brought to ft-ar upon the Georgia dele* nation, in casting tfieir vote for Mr. Pierce. He says: ‘ The Georgia delegation, after nil the other caudidatrs had proved to be short winded, consulted ten/i Mr. Dickinson, and were advised by him to nominate Gen. Pierce. They did so, and the re sult is known.’ We wonder, wiih the Sational Intelli gencer, that the Convention did not le jveise the order ol things and seek relief from their dilemma, by placing the name of King first on the list* Certainly, King uas seen more service and is by far the more distinguished man of the tw o. And, judging from the biusiernf the Democrat ic buulurro Rights party in Georgia last fall, we little dreaim and that llie Georgia delegation should lude beep influenced by a Northern mail to have gone solar North to select a nominee from among die ‘•cliecse-e.nivg, onion-smelling” van kees, as the Columbus Times smeriuglv | ! termed our Northern brethren. But dims change and men change with them, mm 1 from all quarters the lire eaters South ami ; free-stiller* North, are throwing up tlu-ir j liats aud shouting, “tin: most lit,” “thej most proper,” “Hie most popular,” “the; 1110*1 nuexce|itionable,” “the most fortun ate,” “the must available,,’ “die most sat-1 islartwry"ihe most GLOR/UUS mini- 1 ination that could have been made l” j And so we presume they would have said j of Mr. anybody else, to w limn chance may j have given the noiuitiation. [Cortespoudence of the Baltimore Sun.] Washington, June 9th. j l mentioned yesterday that n portion | of the democratic Iree-soileis have ex-j pressed much dissatislaciion at the deni’ j orratic platform, anti nominations. J now leflfc that a number of them have held a caucus, in this city, and agreed to oppose the nominal ions. The result ol dds caucus will be found in the able and well written article which appears in the National Era f this morning. One Os die editors of the N. York Post was pres ent, and look ground in opposition to the views which have been fill.e expressed by the t.ra. ‘J he Post deems the platform a nullity, and significant of nothing—for die alleged reason that the convemiuu was in a -late of confusion and disorgau- . nation when the resolutions constituting the platform were read and that tln’ir a doption w as merely nominal. The majority ol the free soiled, how ever, hold the convention responsible for llie endorsement of the fugitive slave law and have, therefore, opened the campaign against the ticket of Pn ice and King.— I I,i- split will greatly lend to strengthen the independent tree soil patty, who art to hold a national convcutinn, erect a platform, aud nominate a candidate- fur the presidency- A* all [tauits now look for a granite bi**i< for their nomination, it i* probable that Mr. John P.

A touching Incident. —We hear yes terday ol one of the most touching aud sorrowful incidents that, in the wbplc course ol our life we lone been called ; upon to record.

Another war with Mexico From an article in nnotlrer column, it w ill he seer, that another bloody war w itlr Mexico isalntost inevitable. Gen. Analas has gathered together an army of 5000 upun our frontier nnd is committing the most inhumane depredations upon our ci jxens. Our Government will certainly take cognisance of this affair, and forth with put a slop to the outrages coinmit tud on the persons anil property of our frontier rilixens, by these treacherous and marauding Mexicans. “ Mr. Pierce, “who is he T Oor Macon street cotemporary ‘in llie abundance of the milk of human kindness that courses every avenue of his sympathetic heart,’ has labored extreme ly hard in his last issue, to rake up or manufacture some information, in order to enlighten us as to who Mr. Pierce is, lint in spite of all his toil and deep re search into the forgotten events of the past, lie has only been able to bring forth those truths, when removed from the chaff nf embellished exageratioi, that we knew before as well as he. It will not lie improper to stale here however, that lie has discovered what even llie citizens of New-Hampshire never knew, that Gen. Pierce was once Governor of that Stale. We are inclined to think that the Edi tor of the Democrat, from his remarks, knows but very little himself about Mr- Pierop, or his public acts. He says that lie was once a member of Congress.— Very well, vvliat did he do there—what important bill did he introduce—what great speech did he make—what impor tant vote did hr cast ? Here, we must confess that we need enlightenment, and we presume, so does every other citizen of die United Stales, but we will not ap ply to the Editor of the Democrat, for i the information ; For, he don't even know fluff Mr. Pierce, in 1831, was ap pointed an aid under Gov. Dinstnoor With the rank of Coloftel; or tlse in his eagerness to enlighten u*, lit: wbuld cer tainly have mentioned the cirffithstahee: He is ignorant of the fact i,;nl Mr, Ptettfe was in 1828 a member of the H wse nf Representatives in the New HampsirWe Legislature or he would certainly have made mention of this crowning honor in the history of this distinguished man ! It has certainly escaped his memory, that this great mail! resigned his seal hi the United Slates Senate almost as soon as he came in possession ol it, and retired home to resume the practice of Law, or lie would have most assuredly recurred to this as an instance of the extreme, mo desty of Mr. Pierce in receiving and oc cupying important stations in the affairs of Government. The Editor of the Democrat is certainly very ignorant as to the arts of the great men I of his party, or lie would have known all about this | long since. Perhaps the same friend that informed him that Franklin Pierce had l>e'en Governor of New Hampshire, might have given him the above ihfiirma tion, and thus have saved him the etnbar rasment of exhausting his entire store of biographical knowledge in one shot t nr ti< le. In conclusion we would say that if our coteniporary bus so limited a knowledge of the past, it is by nb means probable that lie can pierce with his keen eye of pinphesv, the uncertain mystei is of futur ity and correctly predict the result of the approaching Presidential canvass, ana until time shall reveal that result, we shall consider his effort to enlighten ns as to “who Mr. Pierce will be,” an entire fail ure. A Cliance for a Plank Hoad ansi Kail Itoad Connection with Pciesa cola, YY'e learn the following from Mr. Tift of the Albany Patriot, who has lately been down i t Thomas and Lowndes Counties: ‘ YVe conversed with Gen. Wright and other gentlemen of that sec tion, wl'o seem to enteitain no doubt that the Brunswick and Pensacola Ra.l Rood w ill be built speedily. The company is to be organised al Brunsw j. k on the 1 Tilt tnst it is Faid that one and a half mill.- ion have been subscribed to the stock in New York.’ 1 It is understood that a branch of this road will be built to and it oul\ remains to build a plank road from thi.- place tn rtlbany to make the connection with Pensacola complete, it will require but very little reflection to convince any rational man, that this connection w ill r ventually be tirade, the necessities of the country demand it, and if it is not made by a plank road from this place to Al bany, it will certainly be by Railroad.— While the former would be the lastitjg salvation of our commerfial interests, the latner would completely prostrate the promising trade <>f our city. /Titlt these lights before tlrern it is important that the fi iends of the Plank Road should redoti ble their exertions for the speedy accom plishment of this enterprise. A good start itas already been made and a little more exertion in the shape of action w ill ensure success. MR. PIERCE. The follow ing communication was han ded us by a gentleman who is personally acquainted with Mr,'Pierce. —a native of the same State, and his political friend. We hesitate not to place this information before our readers, for we doubt not that it is perfectly correct, but when it is said, it is all that can be said In justification of Mr. Pierce's qualifications for the Presi dency. (COMMUNICACED.) The Democratic Candidate for Presi* dent. Gen, Franklin Pierre, the fourth son of Gov. Benjamin Pierce was born at Hillsboro, N. H. Nov. 23d, 1804, gradu - ated al Bowdoin college, in 1824, cowimmenced the study of law under the direction of John Burnani, E'q., in his native village, and pursued his course sub sequently, in the Law School, at North’ nnipton, Mass., at that time tinder the direction of Judge Howe, and in the office i of the Hon. Levi Woodbury, at Ports- j mouth, N. H., and the Hon. Edmond i Parker at Amherst. He was admitted to ‘ tbc bar at Amherst N. H., in Sept. 1827. In October of the same year, lie opened an office in Hillsboro’ and continued it until (838. When he returned so Con cord, the capilol of the State where lie notv resides. In 1831, he was appointed hy the kite Gov. Dinsmoor, one of his aids, with the rank of colonel. He represented his native town in the State Legislature, four years successive |y, from IS2B. In 1831 and 1832, he was elected speaker of the House of Re presentatives in N. H. In 1833, he wa< chosen a member of Congress, and con tinued to represent that Suite $ the pop! filtir branth of the National Legislature Inrttil the 4th of March 1837, when he took his seat iiv the United States Senate^ljclt he siibtetjuftily resigned nnd renewed the practice of !a* tn hi* native State. AC the jroniiDcncenieflt fifth* hlrr.wnh Mexi* I COi he voiu'. n,fert ‘ c * his seirtices and re ceived General in the Army S ' a,es * and be fUsiinguished liinise* r ability in many important engagei.7 enl *’ He is an eloquent and abk pleader, 3 sound jurist, aud is considered to be one of the most able criminal, lawyears iu. Newr England. ♦ If the above described qiialifjfatidqs, are sufficient to make the possessor elligi;. ble to the Presidency, it would require least fifty thousand, years to elevate all, within the limits of the United Slates who : are now qualified to fill that office. ; We do not intent! by these remarks to i detract’ one honor from the career j of Mr. a public man. We have ■ no inclination to'under-rate his talents as a Lawyer, as a Siatesman, or as a Gener al, but we must confess that while he would acquit himself with honor be fore a emit I,or fiill w ith dignity the speak ers chair iu a Slate Legislature, or even | command respect as a tacit member of | Congress, we cannot admit that these ’ qualifications are sufficient to claim for ’ him the suffrage of the people lor the highest and most responsible office within the gift of the government. We nin* t take the liberty to correct our correspon dent in one instance, and only one, in re gard to Mr. Pierce having ‘‘distinguished bim-elf with signal ability in many im portant engagements. ‘We know perltap* as much about that particular period in the history of Mr. Pierce's career, as any . one else who was not present at the bat tles of Contreras ami Chembusco. If history dors not lie, Gen. Pierre was. thrown from his horse at the commence ment of (he former battle, and so badly hurt that lie was compelled to leave the f’n-Id. On the next day he attempted nc t’uin at Clieruhtisco, but al the fir>t charge the cxi ilenien! was too great lor him and* in Hie language of the historian, “lie was taken from the field, fainting w ith | ain."’ From (hat moment until his ncminmion. for the Presidency, the name of General Pierce lias never been mentictied. We do not pretend to say that the teneral would not have dktiugui-hed himsell and reaped blood-stained laurels of renown, had it no-1 been (or this untimely and ill fated accident. It is wrong however tn accord to city man that which was possi ble yet not accomplished. ( C o ui m u n ic a t e and.) In no section of country, where Pi.mk Roads are iu operation,do the people con demn ihrni or de.-ire their disuse: and the ! arguments of building and iiiainiai-uing with success, a plank toad, in compari.-on with a Rail Road, are as strung lor the former, as lor the latter. The Plank Road iu the first place, rail be built at ail expenditure of ten to fifteen hundred dol lars per mile, and can be maintained and kept in good repair for an aggregate cost of 20 dollars per mile per annum. A president and treasurer are all the officers necessary to employ at high salaries; the toll gatheres may be employed at uiodeate expense, for an honest man. or even a boy not above the middle oi Ids teens iu age that can count and change money will answer every purpose, and of sorb the country always affords an abundance. No Engines no cars, water stations, wood yards, switches, Turn tables, depots, con ductors, enginenien, agents, and scores of hands to load and unload, w ill be neces sary. The Plank Road bull! and toll pates established; and your thoroughfare is fuU !y equipped for service. And again: the planter can with Ids own team carry at an average estimate, three times the ordinary load drawn on common roads and travel the same dis ] lance in two thirds of the lime, and with fjr less danger to wear, tare and break age of the wagon or carl. Another ca i son may be adduced, in favor of the in j creased values of all real estate on or near ] the line of the road, which, in all cections ! where plank roads have been constructed, is fully equal to the increase arising from any other enterprise of Internal improve ment. That increase in the State of New York where more plank roads are in op eration than in any State, in no case falls under 25 per cent and iu many places reaches double the former value, or 100 per cent. In Ohio it is about the same, nnd so with Pennsylvania, and I believe is true of all other sections. Another very important item, and the last 1 shal
