The duty assigned to the patrol of the National Guard, since the last insurrection at Paris, viz that of interrogating passers-by as to their name and residence and errand out-of-doors, has been somewhat resented in its enforcement, as well as productive of some curious disclosures. The fol lowing instance is given among others On the day after the resistance of the insurgents was finally at an end, a gentleman, whose name it would not be worth white to give, passed into the street from his lodgings. At4he first corner a Na tional Guardsman encountered him, and, in a man ner somewhat cavalier, and with that certain au thority which epaulettes without service are apt to render a little prurient, glanced at the civilian from head to foot. Where are you from he said, at last. From my residence," answered the gentleman, indicating the house with the point of his stick. "Where are you going?" To that house yonder," answered the gentle mail again, pointing to a house in the street to which he was turning. And what business have you with any one in that house asked the guardsman, looking with an aroused attention at the respondent. I can't very well tell you." Then, sir, you will follow me to the station house." The alternative is the least inconvenience of the two, I fancy—but, really, is it necessary that I must tell you my errand in that house before I can pass Assuredly." Well, sir, you are a man, like myself, after all, and will understand me w hen I confess that I go thither to see a lady." The guardsman turned pale. In that house he asked again. In that house." But, there is only one lady in that house." Very possible." Then, it is Madame w hom you go to see Exactly." "Sir!" said the guardsman, "that lady is my wife, and you cannot pass." By what right do you prevent my passing, pray let me know By the right which a husband has to save his honor and chastise a puppy." You are free to exercise your office as you please—but. if 1 show, to the commandant of your post, the letter of invitation in my pocket, written by Madame and requesting to see me at this liour, he will discharge me at once from custody." And do you dare to do that, sir Perfectly." The guardsman turned pale. His dilemma was a trying one. Very well, sir," lie said, after a moment's hesi tation I shall be on duty for two hours, and cannot abandon my post. Go to my wife. Only, you will understand that it will not end here. Will you favor me with your address Here is my card." Now, sir, pass on." The gentleman proceeded upon his errand. At the end of the two hours, however, the guardsman did not return home, but his wife received a letter from him, informing her that he knew all. The application of this husband for divorce is said to be the first on the list of cases to be tried by the regu lar tribunal. This much talked-of incident has not, it is remarked, lessened very perceptibly the inconvenient inquisition into the destination of street-walking cavaliers.— N. V. Home Journal.

Will you let him stand in the yard without any thing?" inquired the disappointed traveller. Oh, yes, as long as he pleases." Now bring me a plate of steak and a cup of cofîèe, with a not roll." Hot rolls !—ho, ho—what, sir—and coffee— steak We are out of 'em all." Then bring me cold victuals," continued the traveller. There is nothing of the kind in our house, sir— don't keep 'em I should like a glass of brandy." Aint got any of that."

T itle of T rowsers to a H oly K iss .—The National Guard of Bourges lately gave a splendid entertainment to the National Guard of Paris, at which the Archbishop condescended graciously to assist in doing the honors. A deputation of the 2d legion was received with particular kindness by the holy man. In-This troop, however, figured the famous and charming Pomponette, who, by right of having fought at the barricades, wears the uni form and takes the honors of the corps. So well was her sex disguised under her flowing panta loons and martial air, that the Archbishop selected Pomponette lo embrace in besiowing his benedic tion at the close of his speech. Kissing her on both cheeks, he said, Assure your comrades, that, in fighting for order, they fight for religion— and that, if I have a regret at this moment, it is that I cannot preset hem every one to my breast, as I now press you." Djawiug Pomponette very close to his bosom, the eloquent prelate and celib ate dismissed the deputation. 03- A weiçhable quantity of gold having been obiainetrfroni the petals of the blue violet, it is sug ge-tetl tha; the extensive cultivation of the flower might yielil a profitable crop of gold.

FURTHER DETAILS BY THE AOADIA. B oston Sept. 24. —the steamship Acadia arrived at her berth this morning at half-past 5 o'clock. The steamship United States left Cowes for New York on the 3d inst., with eighty passengers and a large cargo. She had proceeded on her voyage as far as the Sicily Islands, when an accident happen ed to her machinery, damaging her condenser. She was consequently forced to put back to Southamp ton, where a detention of four or five weeks will be necessary to put her in complete order for sailing. The chief portion of the passengers had left her. The Hermann, from New York, arrived off the Isle of Wight on the 4th inst., and in consequence of a thick fog, but whilst in charge of a pilot, got on shore in Gumett's Bay. near Cowes, on the top of the tide, and although the engines were imme diately reversed, it was found impossible to get her off. A special steamer, waiting off Cowes lor the mails, went to her assistance. The steamer was engaged in relieving the ship, and the coal was dis charged into lighters. This step was effectual, anil at 3 p. m on the same day she floated, and shortly after anchored in Cowes Roads. Her coals were again put on board, and she again proceeded on her voyage, without having, it is said, sustained any damage. The weather continues fine in great Britain, and the grain market has declined to almost the entire extent of the recent advance. The visit of Lord John Russell to Earl Clarendon, seems to furnish almost the only theme for specula tion atnongst Irish politicians. The Premier landed at Kingstown on the afternoon of the 1st inst., and was received with a certain degree of respect—demonstrations of applause or disappro bation seemed both to have failed. FRANCS. The approaching elections to fill the vacant seats in the Assembly, begins to occupy public attention. M. Girardin, the Orleanist editor of the Presse, is a candidate, with M.Oelessert and Marshal Bugeaud. The latter, it is said, has refused the command of the army. If an armed intervention should take place in Italy, indeed he would not accept any com mand offered by Gen. Cavaignac. Local disturbances in the Provinces continue to occui, chiefly arising from the obnoxious extraor dinary tax of 45 centimes, imposed by the Provi sional Gove m ment. Lamartine has published a defence of himself against the charges brought forward. Gen. Cavaig nac has been compelled to deny the intention of suppressing the Paris Constitutionnel. The Joürnul and La Presse have resumed their fierce attacks upon the government. The latter wages war against the Republic, in spite of General Cavaignac's de claration that he would not allow the Republic to be impeached. Tlie Bonapartists are moving both in Paris and in the departments, with a view of electing Louis Bonaparte to the Presidency of the Republic. The Moniteur states that the Ottoman Court had recognized the French Republic, and that Denul Anpick, the French Minister Plenipotentiary, pre sented his credentials to the Sultan on the 26tli ult. The latest advices from Paris received by the London papers announcing the important intelli gence that the French government on the 7th inst. received despatches from M. Arago, the French Ministerat Berlin, announcing officially that Aus tria has accepted the mediation of France and Eng land for the settlement of the Italian question. On the 5th instant, the garrison of Paris and a portion of the National Guard were reviewed on the Boulevards by General Cavaignac, who was loudly cheered. Between 70,COO and 80,000 were under arms, of whom about 20,000 belonged to the National Guard, only one battalion being called out from each legion. Although the National Guard was invited to attend the review in great force, it was found that not more than 300 men mustered from each battalion, and in one battalion the number was under 250. This rebuke, proceed ing from such a body, has been keenly felt, and it has given serious uneaaines to the head of the Gov ernment. It is generally understood that several causes of dissatisfaction have led to this species of negative demonstration. The first cause is the offensive expression used by Gen. Cavaignac against the legitimist party and particularly against some legions of the National Guard which, he affirmed, were conspiring against the government. The second cause was that the government ab stained from contradicting a report that was gener ally circulated of the arrest of two high military functionaries, understood to be Gen. Lamoriciere, Minister of War, and Gen. Changamier, Comman der of tlie National Guard. The third cause assigned was the dissatisfaction produced by the distribution of the crosses of the Legion of Honor amongst the legion of the Na tional Guard. A serious quarrel had occurred between Generals Changamier and Cavaignac, growing out of the defection of the National Guards, a small portion of each division having appeared at tlie review on Sunday. A sharp correspondence between them had taken place. Ledru Rollin is about starting a new journal in opposition to La Reforme. The Paris papers state that notwithstanding the appointment of General Lamoriciere to the com mand of the army of the Alps, there appears every probability that peace will be preserved. It appears that General Lamoriciere and M. Marie have been endeavoring by a transaction with Odillon Barrott, Berryer, and others, to form a fusion of all parties, in which they have not suc ceeded. ITALY. Four thousand French troops are reported to have arrived at Venice. The accounts from Italy and Rome state that the whole country is in a disturbed and excited state. Tumults had occurred at Genoa, Leghorn, ami Rome, which were suppressed with tlie greatest difficulty. A letter from Turin under date of the 2d instant, states that the Austrians having levied a contribu tion of four hundred thousand florins (.£32,000) on the city of Parma, payable in twenty-four hours, and the sum not being forthcoming at the designa ted time, the army, according to custom, com menced pillaging the ciry. The inhabitants, how ever, encouraged by the patriotic defence of the town of Bologna, rung the tocsin, and flying to arms, a fearful battle commenced. Even the wo men and children took part in the defence of the city, throwing furniture and other missiles from the windows upon the heads of the Austrian troops. The population of the surrounding country wer« hurrying in to the assistance of the citizens. Tho result of the struggle has not been ascertained. It is said that the Sardinian Ambassador has offered the command of the Piedmoutese army to Gen. Bodeau, who has taken time to consider th« reposition. Should he refuse, application will be ide to Gen. Dernelle. Advices have been received from Hamburg to the 6th inst. They state that the Provisional Gov ernment of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein have refused to acknowledge the armistice lately concluded by Prussia in the nam» of the Germanic Confederation. The greatest jealousy of Prussia prevails amongst the democratic party of the North of Germany, and it is feared that exertion* of that power to promote peace will be rendered fruitless. The blockade of the Elbe and Lahda lias been raised since the 5th, and the Prussian ports on the Baltic have by this time become free. Gen. Garibaldi, who has lately been forced by the Austrians to fly from Italy, has arrived at Bes ancom, on his way it is thought to Paris.

F rom T abasco —The schooner Relampago ar rived at this port yesterday from Tabasco, which place she left on the 20th ult. From Capt. Wake man we learn that when he left Gen. Paredes was reported to be within six leagues of Tabasco, at the head of six hundred men. Gen. Bruno, with four hundred men, had been out to meet Paredes, but returned without effecting his object. It was the general opinion of the inhabitants that an engage ment would soon take place. Later prom Brazos .—By the arrival yesterday of the U. S. Transport Steamer Maria Burt, from Brazos St. Jago, 21st ult., we learn from Capt. Ot toway, that a severe gale of wind raged at that place from the 16th to the 23d ult., blowing from all points of the compass, accompanied with heavy rains which overflowed the whole of the Island. On the 23d the inhabitant"! of the Island took ref uge for safety on board the steamers and vessels in port until the water commenced falling. On the 22d ult the U, S. Schooner, Capt. Page, Capt. McClarren, was totally lost on Brazos Island. Capt Prentiss, in command of Brazos Island, died of yellow fever on the 23d ult. On the 21th a sea man arrived at Brazos, who reported that he was the only surviver of the crew of the schooner Home, from Philadelphia, which vessel was totally lost, from 60 to 90 miles to the Northward of Brazos Island one other man started with him but had died from exposure and fatigue.

Wakeman of the schooner Relampago, reports that on the 26th ult. in lat. 25° 00', long. 72° 00*, he picked up the main boom and main gaft of a large schooner. The boom was forty-nine feet long the main mast ap peared to have been cut away but a short time, and measured seventy feet in length and twenty-eight inches in diameter. The spars had all the rigging attached—when he discovered them they were lashed together in a triangular form, apparently for the purpose of forming a raft. Captain Wakeman could see nothing of any other part of the vessel, and he thinks that she capsized, and after the main mast and rigging were cut away that she righted, and proceeded on her voyage. Captain Wakeman also states that he experienced severe gales during the whole passage from Tabasco to the S. W. Pass. T he Concordia Explosion .—On motion of Mr. Wm.

Brooks and James Mulgrave, accused of an assault and battery on his person, was yesterday called up before act ing Recorder Golding. His Honor had apparently for some time before been depressed in spirits, no doubt, owing to the monotonous and disagreeable discharge of his duty of trying ordinary charges of ussaolt and battery, breaches of the peace and such like petty affairs. When this important case was announced His Honor brushed up, and from that moment wore hi» blandish smile. His face Baid Tom Thumb non eft inventus" which when literally translated means "nothing small here." The General, in compliment to the tribunal be fore which he was appearing, had doffed all mili tary insignia and was dressed in a suit of sables a tacit acquiescence in the superiority of the scales over the sworxl. We may add too that the sables were in that condition which modem Chesterfields lay down as the only condition in which a true gentleman wears his outer man they were some what seedy, perhaps a little more so. To get clothes to this stage of ripeness, it will be remem bered the writers on coats and breeches recom mend that the footman or some other servant be made to wear them for some time. The General's garb looked exactly as if a footman had worn it. Lawyer Gaiennie, for defence, opened the case I hope my noble friend, Gen. George Washing ton Dixon, will step forward. I have no doubt he wishes generously to drop the prosecution, and I am anxious to hear him." The Recorder observed that he had no objection to an exercise of the General's magnanimity. The General answered I do not wish the Court to understand that my individaal grievances could induce me to appear here for satisfaction. I appear here not for myself, but as the vindicator of outraged law, and, by ob taining that punishment for ray persecutors which their conduct to me deserves, to protect ray fellow citizens from similar violence." After a vain effort on the part of the General to have the case postponed, as several of the most im portant witnesses f*r the State, he said, were ab sent, he was put on the stand. In brief, he swore that General George Washington Dixon was taken up, bodily, one night on Perdido street, by James H. Brooks, laid in the gutter, slapped in the face with his chapeau- de-bras, and his face awfully disfigured" by mud being thrown on it ad libitum by said Brooks and Mulgrave. The cross-examination now commenced. And here let us observe, by way of preface, that Law yer Gaiennie is famous for the pertinence of his questions, and the adroitness with which he bothers a witness. Lau-yer G. —You say you know the prisoners a long time. What is their general character General. —I did not come here to write or to speak biographies. Lawyer G. —Come, speak out General, Yucatan is safe. General. —Not by vour aid. Lawyer G. —Well, now if these men promise on their word of honor not to molest you, and if I go out and trçat all hands, will you let the matter drop? General. —I could not consistently do so. Fol lowing in the moral path of my able and learned friend, the District Attorney for the State, I have joined the Temperance Society. When I first came here I had to be acclimated, and drank as much liquor as your honorable self. As to the word of honor of your clients, that is a question to be dis posed of by his Honor, the Recorder. An attempt was now made to draw the General into a committal on domestic politics. He admitted the cause of the row with the prisoners was his re fusal to write a political song. He had Witten them Taylor songs, and dittied them for the celebrated Glee Club. He would write political songs for any party that paid liira. The song with the chorus, r 'K jig jig," and a-oo a-oo a-oo," he had taken great pains with, and was proud of it as a chef d'œuvre. He had not made up his mind yet as to who he should support for the Presidency. He wrote songs, not only for pay, but to allay the troubled waters. After exciting and irritating har rangues of speakers, the harmony acted as oil upon the sea. Lawyer G. —General, you are a pretty smart fel low, why don't you practice law General. —Oh, I have too much on my hands. I have ten or twelve papers abroad to attend to, and several other small affairs come under my super vision here at headquarters. Thare are the Yuca tan and Cuba matters. When the fruit is ripe, I will pluck iL Lawyer G. —Well, what about the Sierra Madret Gen. —That was a vile plot (and a humbug too) to distract my forces, but they only succeeded in carrying off the rotten wing of my division. Mr. McHenry, counsel for the prosecutor, here requested the interposition of the Court to protect the witness from impertinent and insolent ques tions. The Court replied that there appeared to be a perfectly amicable feeling between the parties, and no necessity existed for interposition. Lawyer G. —Oh yes, your Honor, the General and I are old friends. Gen. —Friends, Sir I never spoke to you—never saw you before Lawyer Gaiennie now claimed the discharge of his clients. He could not believe the General would avow, in the face of the world, he was afraid of three men. Gen. —Not of a thousand, Sir The Recorder observed, that when the General came to him to enter his complaint, he declared that if he were to marshal his hosts and lead them to battle he could annihilate his enemies in an instant, but in respect to the Peace and Dignity of the State" he forbore violence. He (the Re corder) properly appreciated the motives of the General, he said, and would bind the parties to keep the peace.

Insecurity of the Mail .—We learn from the Norfolk Herald, that there have been lately several miscarriages of letters containing remittances from Murfreesborough, N. C., to Norfolk, and other places north, and among them one from Messrs. Carter and Trader, merchants of that town. In this instance the letter was sealed and«mailed in in the presence of witnesses so that there could be no mistake that, with its inclosure, it left the post-office at Murfreesborough, and just «s little that it was stolen from the mail on its way from that town to Norfolk. Many years ago precisely the same thing occurred on this route. TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. GEORGIA ELECTION. Tele; r; phed to the Daily Orescent. Columbus October 3—10 a. m.

Henry Clay and the Presidency .—In the Cincinnati Chronicle of the 23d ult., we have another letter from Henry Clay, in reference to the Presidency. Certain members of the whig party of Cincinnati, it seems, had addressed Mr. Clay, inviting him to assume an independent position" with regard to the present canvass for the Presidency, and assuring him of the earnest support of numerous friends. In answer to this Mr. Clay says, in substance My name, gentlemen, was submitted by my consent to the consideration of the National Whig Convention, which met in Philadelphia, but which did not think proper to place mein nomination as a candidate for the Presidency. I have quietly submitted to the decision of that body, and cannot consent to any further consideration of my name in connexion with tbe office of President of the United States; and accordingly I have refrained from giving, and must continue to decline giving, the slightest encouragement or countenance to any inch uaeot it. H. Clay." 03" The Native American party of Massachu setts held a meeting in Boston on the 21st, but finally adjourned without making any nominations for national or state officers. fty The Lexington (Ky.) Atlas denies the asser tions of Governor Letcher and the Dayton Bulletin, that the gradual emancipation of Slavery will be seriously agitated by the Convention recently called to amend the Constitution in that State, and says, We are very sure—judging from what we hear from well-informed persons from every section of the State, both slaveholder» and non-slaveholders, that the question of gradual abolition of Slavery will meet with but few supporters, unless coloniza tion, or removal of the slaves emancipated from the •State, be coupled with it." S3" The Free Soil Pick-Axe, published at Lynn, has pulled down the name of Van Buren and Ad ams, and run up the names of Gerritt Smith and Charles C. Foote, as the true free. Maine .—The New York Express says that a law of the State of Maine, approved June 31st, 1847, prescribes that the electors shall be chosen by plu rality. The same paper advises the Whigs to share the electors—with the Free Soil men, we suppose, "as half a loaf is better than no bread." try It is said that at a Whig meeting in Culpep per county, Va., Dr. Pannill, a Whig elector, read a manuscript letter from Gen. Taylor, explanatory of his views upon the Wilmot Proviso. Case op Bishop Onderdonk .—The Protestant (N. Y.) Churchman of the 23d says The Con vention of the church in this Diocese is about to assemble, in the course of the ensuing week, and there are many inquiries made as well as numerous comments, relative to the probable proceedings of that body. If we remember right, the salary of $2500, given to Dr. Onderdonk out of the Episco pal fund, terminates at the approaching session, unless renewed by a fresh vote of the Convention. This question will, probably, therefore be pressed, and the sanction of the Convention be sought for a continuance of the salary. We doubt whether there is any disposition on the part of those who believe the sentence to be just or valid, to oppose this measure, and it is likely, therefore, if those who have hitherto supported the Bishop feel dis posed to keep the Diocese in its present anomalous condition, that Iiis salary will be continued, unless they should deem it expedient to advise his resig nation upon certain terms and conditions. jïcy A clergyman, named Tiffany, at Albany, N.

Yesterday evening we were very much surprised to see in our sanctum Mr. F. X. Aubrey, direct from Santa Fé. If an apparition had sprung up, it would not have astonished us more, for it was but the other day we bade him good-byon his way out, and here he is again, in less time than is usually allowed to make the trip out or in, not saying any thing of the attention to business and incidental delays. Mr. Aubrey left Santa Fé on the 12th of Sep tember, and reached Independence on Sunday night, making the entire trip in five days and six teen hours—the shortest trip on record, and beating his own time on a former trip by several days. On his way in, he had to swim every stream, was de layed by the transaction of business at Fort Mann, with his own teams, which passed that way, and with the various parties of troops: and besides breaking down six horses and walking twenty miles on foot, he made the trip, travelling time only counted, in about four days and a half During this time he slept two hours and ate only six meals. It rained upon him twenty-four consecutive hours, and nearly six hundred miles of the entire distance was performed in the mud, and yet, what is strange, the rain did not reach Council Grove. At Inde pendence he took passage on the Bertrand. She was detained, night before last, several hours by the fog and low water. Yesterday she reached St. Charles, where Mr. Aubrey took a buggy, and arrived here last evening, making the ent're distance from Santa Fé to St. Louis, a dis tance of full twelve hundred miles, in a fraction over ten days. When it is recollected that eight hundred miles of this distance was performed on horseback, or on foot, the performance seems al most incredible. We learn from Mr. Aubrey, that he made some portion of the trip between Santa Fé and Independence, at the rate of one hundred and ninety miles to the twenty-four hours. He had no one to accompany him. Such courage and indom itable energy, almost surpasses comprehension. Mr. Aubrey reports as water Dound at Sand Creek, Major Reynolds' division of the Missouri Volunteers Major Walker's battalion, and Lieut. Lov« with a small number of U. S. Dragoons. There were w ith this party Messrs. Finley, Allen, Carey and McCarty, traders. He passed Col. Ralls and a portion of the Missouri Volunteers at the battle ground, fifteen miles beyond the Arkan sas. Col. Eaton's battalion, with the recruits un der Lieut. Allen, were at Fort Mann. Gen. Price and staff were water-bound at the Pawnee Fork also Major Donaldson'« division of Illinois Volunteers, and Lieut. Cooley, of Col. Gil pin's command. At Cow Creek, he passed Capts. Cunningham and Bond's Division of Illinois Volunteers, water bound. At this place he also saw S. Ruland «f this city. He passed Col. Newby, Dr. Robinson and Lieut. Hamilton, at Willow Springs. He met Gov. Lane, en route for Oregon, at Council Grove. Mr. Aubrey thinks that the first detachment of Gen. Price's command will reach Independence about the first of October, and the whole military force may be expected to arrive by the fifteenth. From an extra issued Irom the office of the Santa Fé Republican, and dated on the 12th instant, we gather the following items of information Com pany H, First Dragoons, commanded by Lieut. Bu ford, from Fort Gibson, arrived at Santa Fé on the 9th inst.,all in good health. Lieut. Buford passed over a hitherto untravelled route, which he con siders the best and shortest between the United States and Santa Fé. Mr. Alexander H. M'Kinstry, formerly of this city, died at Santa Fé on the 9th inst. His remains were embalmed and will be brought to the States next spring. Bvt. Lieut. Col. Washington, appointed, it is said, civil and military Governor, was expected at Santa Fé by the 20th of this month. He left Chihuahua on the 20th of August, with two companies of Dra goons and one of Tight artillery, for the department, of New Mexico, and five companies of Dragoons for California. The Republican hopes that he may soon reach there, as it is impossible for 200 men to garrison and protect so extensive a territory from the savages. Major Beall, U. S. Dragoons, was in command of the military force in New Mexico. He had re ceived petitions from Taos, Peralto, Albuquerque and other points, asking for troops to garrison the frontiers, as the inhabitants were in constant dan ger from the daily incursions of the Indians, who continued to murder them and to drive off their stock. The small force left to garrison the country made it impossible for Major Beall to comply with these requests. Mr. D. Waldo arrived at Santa Fé on the 5th ult., with a large train of wagons, loaded with commissary's stores. Lieut Love and escort, Mr. J. Findley, Mr. McCarty, and other gentlemen, left for the States on the 1st inst. Willard Hill, of the Quartermaster's Depart ment, was killed on the 1st inst., by being thrown from his horse. A young man by the name of Russell was killed by the Apache Indians about the 1st of this month, at the foot of the Taos mountains. In company with another discharged volunteer, he was going to Taos, when they were attacked by the Indians. Mr. R .'s companion escaped unharmed. Major Beall, in command of the 9th Military De partment, has issued an order, permitting Diego Archuleta, the leader of the Taos revolution, to re turn to his family and friends, without molestation from any quarter. Gen. Price and staff left Santa Fé on the 26th ult. The crops throughout the country are said to look fine, and to bid fair to yield a bountiful har vest to the growers. A much larger amount of grain has been planted this year than in any pre vious season. The Republican, noticing the passage by the Texas Legislature of bills to establish the county of Santa Fé —to arrange the militia of the county of Santa Fé —to establish the 11th Judicial Circuit, to be formed of that county—and to allow the county one Representative in the House, says We would now inform our Texan friends that it is not necessary to send us a Judge nor a District Attorney, to settle our affairs or put "things to rights," or there is not a citizen, either American or Mexican, who will ever acknowledge himgelf as a citizen of Teias, until it comes from higher au thority. New Mexico does not belong, nor has Texas even a right to claim her as a part of Texas. We would also advise Texas to send with her civil officers for this county a large force, in order that they may have a sufficient body guard to escort them back safe. It will also be well for Texas to put Mr. as a member from the county of San ta Fé, for their next session of the Legislature, and we sincerely hope the seat may be reserved for him, as it is quite probable his services will be ac tually demanded, in order to instruct the new and young idea how to shoot Texas should show some little sense and drop this question—and not have it publicly announced that Texas' smartest men were tarred and feathered by attempting to fill the office« assigned them The steamer Ploughboy arrived in port yester day afternoon from the Missouri river. Among the passengers were Lieut. Col. H. P. Boyakin, 1st Regiment Illinois Infantry Major N. Johnson, U. S. Paymaster; Major J.T.Bradley, U. S. Pay master's Clerk and Dr. R. N. Hundley, Surgeon 1st Illinois Infantry. Major Johnson, U. S. Paymaster, with an es cort, left Santa Fé on the 16th of last month, in company with the 1st division of the 1st Regiment Illinois Volunteers, composed of companies B, E and D. They kept company with this division as far as Cold Spring when the escort, composed of 25 men, commanded by Lieut. Hundley, of com pany B, left the division and arrived at Fort Lea venworth on the 15th inst. This party left on the Plains, on their way home, three thousand officers and men—being, as we suppose, the whole military force which has occu pied New Mexico and Chihuahua and the Plains. This force is composed of the 1st Regiment Illi nois Volunteers the 3d Regiment Missouri Vol unteers Lieut. Col. Easton's battalion, and Lieut. Col. Gilpin's battalion, and also Brig. Gen. Price and suite. The troops, it is anticipated, have al ready commenced to arrive, and will be coming for the next twenty days. It is understood that the Missouri troops will ren dezvous at Independence. The regiment of Illi nois troop« will arrive at Fort Leavenworth, and from thence be transported to Alton, where they will be discharged. Gen. Price and suite were expected to reach In dependence about the 18th inst.; Lieut. Col. Gil pin's command in a day or two thereafter Col. Newbry's regiment of Illinois volunteers in about ten days, and the remainder of the force very shortly afterwards. Every thing was quiet when the escort left San ta Fe, and the Indians were peaceable in every direction. A great number of traders and emi grants were met on their way to Santa Fé. Gen. Lane, (iovernor of Oregon, and his escort, were met at Willow Springs, on their way to San ta Fé, on the morning of the 14th—all well. The colored people of Illinois being exclud ed as witnesses in court« of justice, and denied the right of suffrage, have called a convention to peti tion the legislature for a redress of those grievances. OCT" We hold this truth to be self-evident," that a man should have no secrets from his wife. A Cincinnati paper relates that a man in that city hid a considerable sum of money in a stove-pipe but neglecting to inform his rib of the circum stance, she kindled a fire in the stove and burned up the whole amount. Not the first time that a husband's earnings have been consumed by his wife'« «parks. Compliment to Marv Taylor .—Beckwith Co., ship-builders at New London, have named a fine schooner, just completed for the St. George's Banks Line, the Mary Taylor, a compliment, says the New London Morning Star, to the celebrated, accomplished, talented, beautiful and popular vo calist and actress of New York." C2T" Mrs. Mason, the celebrated actress, has sud denly become a woman of vast affluence. The suit in relation to her father-in-law's will has just been decided, and her husband comes in for one eighth of about two and a half millions of dollars. Compliment AR v.—The N. Y. Herald says that during the summer the Italian opera troupe might be seen roaming on the bank of the Hudson, "enjoy ing their leisure, like so many Italian bandits after a day's plunder, or northern pirates after a success ful cruise." A Sensible Bishop .—The Bishop of Worcester, England, has expressed the opinion that there is no harm in a dance," and that dancing is an inno cent amusement. H ard E ating .—A rat gnawed through the wa ter pipe in the Phoenix Building, New York, and flooded the house. The pipe was a quarter of an inch thick, and of a composition nearly as hard as tin. Balloon Ascension .—On the 20th, Dr. Mor rill again ascended in a balloon from Boston Com mon. The audience would not permit him to take up a little girl of four or five years old, who had been prepared to accompany him. So he went up alone. He came down in the harbor near Specta cle Island. OT" The Postmaster at Monticello, Piatt county, 111., has been arrested for robbing the mail. Musical .—A British military band, tired of playing God Save the Queen," and Rule Bri tannia," at sixpence a day, in Canada, crossed the line last week in the "gloaming," and are now on a mustcal tour through the western part of New York, blowing Yankee Doodle" and Hail Columbia" through her gracious Majesty's" brass, and beating them out of her gracious Ma jesty's" sheepskin. The British authorities sent after them, being desirous of bringing them back to inspect a stone instrument, with additional keys, provided for their use at Montreal but they were not such flats as to be caught by the ovfrtures of the police—and the people of Lockport acting in concert with them, they escagied by performing a march in double quick time to Rochester. So says Major Noah. Starved to Death .—An English family lately arrived at Cincinnati in a destitute condition, but concealed their circumstances from the neighbors, until the father and mother were nearly starved to death. When discovered they had eaten nothing for three days. The father died next day, and the mother a few days after. Their three children, thus left destitute, were adopted by benevolent citizen«. Two Children Burnt to Death .—Week be fore last by the burning of the dwelling, etc., in Warren, N. Y., of Mr. Lawrence Harter, James Henry and David, the only children of Mr. H., the one aged about four years and the other two, were consumed in the flames. The parents were absent at the time, leaving the house in charge of a lad. Bank of Sandusky, O hio .—The control of the Bank of Sandusky has again reverted back to the former stockholders, who give assurance that its credit will be sustained. Though the notes of the bank are redeemable on presentation, it will not do to be too sure. 0V The yellow fever panic in Vicksburg has completely subsided. Distressing Suicide Jesse Oakley, Esq., Clerk of the Superior Court of New York city, and whose brother is the venerable judge of the same court, committed suicide on the 23d ult. by blowing out his brains in a room near the City Hall. His brother was so overcome by it that the aid of his friends was required to convey him from the court room. It is said he left a letter which may explain the cause. ty Pall and Winter Clothing— ALFRED MIJNROE CO.'S ONE PRICE STORE, No. 34 Magazine Street. fF By recent arrival« per »teamer Falcon, and ship« Maid of Or eauB and Ashland, we have received a most magnificent assortment of FALL AND WINTER CLOTHING, to which we invite the at tent ion of our friends and customers.

PROCLAMATION. By isaac johnson, Governor of the State of Louisiana. W r HEREAS, The failure to appropriate specifically the fund provided by law for the saupoit of the Free Pub ÉÊk lie Schools ol this Si ate must exert, unless prevented in time, a highly prejudicial influence on the great cause of education, and the best in terests ol humanity; and whereas, the importance of the matter, in this view of it, appears to call for the consideration of the Legislature at a period earlier than that of its next regular session in January, 1850, and to form an extraordinary occasion, such as, in my judgment, renders necessary the con vention of the two Houses as soon as may be practicable; I do, therefore, by this, my proclamation, convene the two Elonses of the Legislature, to meet at the State-house in the city of NewOrleans, on the First Monday in December next being the fourth day of said month, and I require the respect ive Senators and Representatives then and there to assemble, in order that they may devise and adopt such measures to put in successful operation the Free Public Schools of the State as to them, in the exercise of their wisdom and discretion, may seem expedient and proper, and receive such inlorma tion, in relation to the affairs of the State generally, as at that time may be deemed advisable to submit them.

And in this lies the grand secret of its wonderful success. It has performed, within the last five years^ more than 100,000 cures of severe cases of disease; at least 15,000 were considered in curable. lt has saved the lives of more than 6000 children during the two past seasons. 10,000 cases of General Debility and want of Ner vous Energy. Dr. Townsend's Sarsapariila invigorates the whole system permanently. To those who have lost their muscular energy by the effects of medicine er indiscretion committed in youth, or the excessive indulgence of the passions, and brought on a general physical prostration of the nervous system, lassitude, want of ambition, fainting sensations, premature decay and decline, hastening towards that fatal disease. Consumption, can be entirely restored by this pleasant remedy. This Sarsa parilla is far superior to any INVIGORATING CORDIAL, As it renews and invigorates the system, gives activity to the limbs, and strength to the muscular system, in a most extra ordinary degree. CONSUMPTION CURED. Cleanse and Strengthen. Consumption can be cured. Bronchitis, Consumption, Liner Complaint, Colds, Catarrh. Coughs, Asthma, Spitting of Blood, Soreness of the Chest, Hectic Flush, Night Sweats, Difficult or Profuse Expectoration, Pain m the Side, frc., have been and can be cured. SPITTING BLOOD. N ew Y ork April 28, 1847. Dr. Towns end— 1 verily believe that your Sarsaparilla has been the means, through Providence, of saving my lite. I have for several years had a bad cough. It became worse and worse. At last I raised large qu intities of blood, had night sweats, and was greatly debilitated and reduced, and did not expect to live. 1 have only used your Sarsaparilla a short time, and there has a wonderful change been wrought in me. 1 am now able to walk all over the city. I raise no blood, and my couçh has left me. You can well imagine that 1 am thankful lor these results. Y our ob'dt servant, wm. R usskll, 65 Catherine st. RHEUMATISM. This is only one of more than four thousand cases of Rheumatism that Dr. Townsend's Sarsapnrilla has cured The most severe and chronic cases are weekly eradicated by its extraordinary virtues. James Cummings, Esq., one of the assistants in the Luna tic Asylum. Blackweil's Island, is the gentleman spoken o> in the following letter Blackwkll's Island Sept. 14. 1847. Dr. Townsend—De ar Sir I have suffered terribly for nine years with the Rheumatism; considerable of the time I could not eat. sleep or walk. 1 had the utmost distressing pains, and my limbs were terribly swollen. I have used four bottles of your saisaparilla, and they have done me more than one thousand dollars' worth of good. I am so much bet ter— indeed. I am entirely relieved. You are at liberty to use this for the benefit of the afflicted. Youn, respectfully, Jambs Cumminos. FEVER AND AGUE. Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla is unequalled in cases of the Chills and Fever and Ague. The following letter is only one of the hundreds that we have received from the South and West of like character O swego Michigan. Oct. 22, 1847. Dr. Towns end— Dear Sir I purchased for my wife two bottles of sarsaparilla of your agent, Mr. McNair. of Kala mazoo, to try it for the Fever and Ague. Before I nad finish ed the first bottle, it appeared to warm the blood, and every other day, when the cnills and fever appeared, they were les* violent; and before she had finished the bottle, she was en tirely relieved, and she was much better than she had been before she took the ague. A lady that had been very *ick with chilis and fever, but had broke them with quinine, ami was left in a very weak and distressing state, and troubled exceedingly with the ague cake, seeing the etfect that it hat! on my wife, she sent and procured a few bottles, and it re stored her in a few weeks to complete health. Your sarsapa rilla is, without doubt, unequalled in diseases incident to the West, and if you think that this communication will be oels from the body what it is necessary should be expelled therefrom. These three are the Stool, the Urine and the Pores. These must be kept in a healthy condition, or dis ease is certain. This is a fixed and positive Law and no human being can satiety disregard it. In addition to this, the Liver must be keot in order. The Liver is the largest organ in the body, and has some of the mo those afflicted with Dumb Ague, Masked Intermittents, and similar Biliary Derangements, may find a speedy and posi tive cure in these remarkable Pills. Other Fever and Ague remedies merely check the more violent manifestations of the disease: these go farther and eradicate the taint from the sys tem. Price a box, with full directions.
