'Ilf iti fell off thit ought tj twine". but the sulject is a sickening one, and wo nhall not pursue it. In addition to the news in the letters of our correspondence, we find the following paragraph touching things as they are o:i the western side of the Rio lira nde. in the American Flag, of the Uihh ult., which we transcribe : The town, for several day?, lias been rife with rumors of the taking of Monterey by a party of men from San Antonio. We placed no confidence whatever in the report, from the first, and to satisfy t!rO! who had any doubts on the subject, we called on the officer in command here, and le statetl that he believed it to be an idle rumor. At Camarjo we understand the same reports were in circulation at the last accounts, and as little credit given them. It was tated that Col Harney, with the troops at Bexar, had crossed the Ri'j Grande at I-arcdo, n;id thus proceeded to the place in question without advising the com. minder of the movement ; but despatches hive been received from him, within a few days, dated at San Antonio; so that knocks the affair out of the pale of probability. Now if there is any account of the affair that looks reasonable it is the Mexicans. They Bay that letters from Monterey aescrt that a body of Americans, who came down by the way of New Mexico, were joined near the l'rcsidio by a number of Toxin adventureros. and the combined force had entered the town without any opposition. It is believed to be true by the natives, and we confess that many things would surprise us more than the last mentioned movement. Two weeks ago a letter was received here from Mjiiclova, sta ing that a body of Americans wa advancing upon that place, but it received r.o credit whatever from the Americans. The Advance. We learn by the last steamboat from Camargo, that oil the regulars httd departed for the interior, with the exception of one regiment. Gen. Taylor was still at Camargo, but it was supposed that he would leave in a few days. Gen. Twiggs hrd reached Cannrgo, with nWjt 2G0U men from this place, and we underlandjie started off immediately fur Monterey. Gen. Worth, if he continued Iiis mireh, must be close on to Monterey about this time. He will probably have the honor of marching the first troops into that place unless the "adventurers" have got there ahead of them, which would not create much surprise in the mind- of some. fcjrCol. Curtis' regiment of Ohio volunteers arc winning golden opinions from all classes of people in Matamoras. Their position is more important and arduous than that of any other Volunteer regiment in the field, and the perfect discipline which goverus all their actions, speaks every thing in their favor. (Correspondence of the "Daily Delta." J China, Mexico, Aug. 1310. Gentlemen The 1st regiment of Mounted Texan?, Col. Hays commanding, reached this place after fourteen days scout, over hills and mountains, swamps and prairies, through under bruh and thicket, every one of which is fall of thorn i, with no provisions for the list four days but beef, and look peaceable possesion of the town, though we have boon cjtpcctiaj, for the last three days, to have a sharp fi Ad for it. Capf. Green, with a detachment of thirty men, as a spy company, advanced on the town night before la-it, and took formal possession with three men, they acting as the advance guard, very much to the surprise of the frightened citizens. They had heard that we were in the country, but could not find out which way we were coming, Capt. Green having taken their spy on the night of the lilst, and they l.ttle anticipated we would come the route we did. it being noshing but a single-file trail, and a part of it no road at all. We are now in the very heart of the enemy's country, within a hundred miles of Monterey ; but I am connueni we win uever get a ngni unless Willi overwhelming numbers the Mexicans fear the Texan tro jps more than Gen. Taylor and his whole army, as one told me that if a thousand of any other troops had come here, they would have had to fight for the town, bat they were afraid to fight the Texan, as the only w'ay that they could be whipped was to kill them all ; for if one was left living, or could get away, he was sure to do some serious damage. The Mexicans are also apprehensive that if they were whipped in a fight with a lexas regiment, they would have no quarters shown them, and appear to be much surprised and gratified at our conduct towards them, and the protection of their persons and property. .. On our route we took peaceable possession of the town of San Fernando, on the river ofthat nunc 100 miles south of Matamoras, and -remained there three days, when we took up our line of march for this place, a distance of over 100 miles. This place has a population of about 3000, and San Fernando between 4 and 5000. Yours, MUSTANG. Matamohas, Aug. 25, 194G. Dear Delia Most of vour volunteer friends and correspondents having left the scat cf war, you cannot object to a letter now and then from a regular sojourner here. He Is not permitted yet to return to his beloved country and friends, but must c-ntent himself for months, perhaps years longer among the obstinate "quakers" who vould make war upon us because we wished to take possession of our native soil on the left bank of the river. The city is filled with important rumors from the interior, of revolutions and changes, civil and military. The Mexican residents of chief consideration receive regular intelligence from the capital and other primipal towns, but not till we obtain the same through New Orleans, do they confess their knowledge. Yesterday they showed the pronunciamicnlos of Tampico and Vera Cruz : they scarcely know how to regard the present as;oct of things. I observe it is the general impression among the more intelligent, that all things are harmoniously! working together to Dring about a peace. A large hospital is now here. Deaths, as might be supposed, are not unfrequent among so many congregated from a' diiTcrcnt climate and adapting new habits. Gen. Taylor will probably leave Camargo about the lit September. Gen.

A force of about 1WJ0 cavalry was encamped at Caidereyte, thirty or forty miles cast of Monterey. A review of the regular troops took place at Carmago, on the 17th ult.; when Gen. Taylor inspected them. There were 3000 in all, the largest number that hive been assembled since the war of 131 1-13. There were six regiments of infiatry, a bittalion of foot aitillery, and two b'ttteries of riving artillery. Organizilio.i.

Harney left San Antonio on the 23d July. Capt. Merrill, U.S. dragoons, reached Camargo from San Antonio on the 20th ultimo, having traversed the distance, 3C0 mile?, accompanied by four Germans, three Delawares, and one Cherokee, he passed through Laredo, a town containing 1500 souls, meeting no obstacles on his way, except the asperities of the country. The La pan and Ca manche Indians had made several hostile incursions into the country above Laredo lately, doing a good deal of harm to tho inhabitants. Army Mitemea!. Gen. Twiggs, with the 2d dragoons, and th.3 Flying Artillery batteries under Bidgeby and Taylor, arrived at Camargo on the 21st ult., and were to proceed immediately towards Monterey. The 1st and 2d regiments of Ohio volunteers, the Louisville Legion, and the Baltimore regiment, have also arrived at Camargo. In th march of the volunteers from Matamoras, they only lost two men; proving their stamina in the most satisfactory way, the heat and privations to which they were exposed being duly considered. Gen. Taylor has signified his intention to leave Camargo about the end of the first week in September; ho would assume personal direction of the whole advancing force to Seralvo; thenceforward to head them until they meet the rncmy. There were various reports in circulation at Ca-mar-ro, at the Litest, dates, about the position of things at Monterey; soma announcing that the Mexican army had abandoned that city others, that they had strongly fortified it, and would certainly make a stand. O.i the 27th ult., the U.S. steamer Bough and Beady arrived at Camargo, from Point Isabel, with Btorcs, etc. The Inspector General, Colonel Croorhan, came pa-scnger in her; fclrc left for down the river the next day. The volunteers will take up the line of march as speedily as practicable, for the goal of all the hopes of the army, viz: Monterey. It was confidently expected that there would bo a fight a field fight, perhapsin front of that city.' Explosion of the Stcnrnhoat Enterprise. We are exceedingly pained at the intelligence received of this catastrophe. On the 2lt ult., at day-light, while the Enterprise was about 45 n.iles above Beynosa, where she had been moored to the bank for the night, at the moment of starting, the pnddlrs having just made three revolutions, the boilers burst with a tremendous explosion. The crew and passengers were in all 150, the havoc amongst whom was dreadful. The whole of that portion of the boat lying between the wheel and chimneys was blown into fragments. The hull and parts towards the stern do not seem to have suffered much; but the forward works and parts lying contiguous to the boilers were fplit into pieces. There were 10 men lying ashep lctueen the chimneys, who all more or l"-ss experienced the sad e fleets of the unexpected occurrence. Many were shot into the air, falling overboard and nc.ver more appearing; others descended on the forecastle, frightfully mutilated. The first four rims of the boilers, we arc told were shattered to atoms, and the surprise is that a greater quantity of life was not sacrificed. No satisfactory account has been given ot tne caue ot the dm j.er, for it appears that the boilers had been cleaned out the night previou. It was conjectured that the mud valve had bcromc fouled, causing tha b nlers to leak. We append a lit of the suiTetcrs: A"7M. Enoch1 : Tucker, A. Boswell, Tenn.; Mr Soaps, Texas; Thos. Gaufney, N.

The body of r.ne of those blown overboard on the occasion was picked up on the 27th, and buried some miles below Bey nosa. The steamer Panola collapsed a flue on her trip up to iu a a moras irom tne mourn ot trie river. A portion of one of the Kentucky regiments was on board, but not one' was injured, although considerable confusion prevailed from the supposion that the boilers bad burst. The damage to the boiler was repaired and the boat has proceeded up to Camargo. Fron the JV. 0. ricayune of Sept. Qih. L,n(et from (lie Itio CirniKle Yews from Col. Ilny'H rcsimcii! Kiot and Lloodshed amongst the Volunteers. The steamship McKim, Cnpt. rajje. arrived ye-tcr dav evening from Ilrazog Santiago, which place she left on edncsday morning la. She made an excellent run, and gave ample proof of her qualities as a fat sailer. The McKim brought to thh city several sick volunteers end some discharged soldiers. China was entered by the Hangers without any opposition. On the arrival of the regiment every d.Hr was found closed ; only a few of the inhabitant's were to be seen, and these upon the Imuse-tops and balconies. At nirrht the Mexican penchant for horseflesh was indulged in, and three horse were relieved of their halters and carried o.T. Next day, by vigilant pursuit, the rogue was overhauled, his case soon decided upon, and ho was shot. He implicated his mnster. a min of wealth, in tho theft, and we may hear further from the afTiir soon. The boys " intended lo sift tho matter thoroughly. On the Ufl'.h nit., the Rangers were to move from China some eighteen miles on the way to Camargo, nivl enramp on the Hio San Juan for further orders. Col. Hays, with about twenty-five nvn from his regiment, went into Camargo on the 25th, and communicated with (Jen. Taylor. It wns understood at Camargo on tho 27th that all the Texan volunteers, except Col. Hay's regiment, were d.sbanded or were to be disbanded, their term of enlistment being out or ab'iut expiring. Hays, it was thought, would come in f .r three months more service. The main army is at Camargo, but there are troops at promineut points all along tho Rio Grande from the mouth up. Considerable 6ickncss prevails and deaths arc daily occurring amongst them. On the night of the 31st ult., a riot broke out among some volunteers, on a steamboat lying at an encampment opjxmite L'urita, in which jevcral persons arc said to have been killed, and others mortally wounded. Tho particulars of this shameful affair, as wo have them, aro theso : On Inwd the boat were ßomo three or four companies of Georgia volunteers; of these there was one Irish company, between which and some other comprny a feud had existed for several days. The quarrel reached its climax on tho evening mcntionpd, ond a terrible fL'ht ensued. Shots were fired, and swords and bayonets were used indiscriminately. In the affray some fifteen or twenty persons are reported to haie been killed or mortally wounded, and pH'bibly as many others were injured more or Ies. Besides the dend and wounded seen on board and on shore, it is said that cinht or ten were forced overboard, who either drowned or died of their wounds. While the fight was going on, tho Colonel of the Georgia regiment endeavored mo?t gallantly lo quell it. iritetfvring personally and attacking, tho rioter with sword and pistol. He shot down ono man and wounded several others. Finding that he could not succeed in putting an end to the disturbance, he called upon Col. Baker, of the 4;h regiment of Illinois vol unteers, for assistance. Col. B. offered companies A and fr of Ins regiment to assist in quelling the fight, and went in person, accompanied by about twenty men, to the !oat. He immediately stepped on board, ordered peace, and attemprcd to ascend the stairs. Here he was attacked by the rioters ar d had a despcrato conflict, in which he defended hims?lf bravely for some time against words, bayonets and ehot, b u
was finally shot in the neck, the ball entering behind place, where he arrived several days ago. ' On the arand parsing out through his cheek or mouth. The ' rival of the Trinccton at the wreck of the Truxton, twenty men who accompanied Col. Baker to the boat! ehe was found abandoned, and that she had been belonged to company C. Of thcfc, eight men were stripped of all light articles by the Mexicans. A rhg wounded, six with bayonets and two with ba'l. On cf truce was sent on shore from the Princeton, by the arrival of companies A and G, Capt. Boberts, of j whom i wa3 ascertained that Capt. Carpcnder, his
the former, ordered his men to charge on board, and led them as far as the steps, where he received a severe wound from a bayonet, which entered near the shoulder Hade ond passed through his back. The boat was so well defended that the Illinoibans were forced to retreat, they having no cartridges with them. Ammunition was very socn, however, furnished them, t and on npproachirg the boat again every thing be came quiet. INoneor the Illinois troops were Killed, and it was thought on the next morning that Colonel Baker and Capt. Roberts would recover from their wounds ; in fact thtre was but little apprehension feh for their safety. Two of the privates of company C, it was feared, were mortally wounded. The Commis0 - Til ' . I... sary oi tne Illinois troops was aiau wuuuucu, uui 6Üghtly so. At the time Col. Baker was shot he was engaged in a personal conuict with the captain ot the Irish company, who is also among the wounded. The rioters were finallv subdued, forced to surren der their arme, and placed under a strong guard. The full particulars of this outrageous transaction could not be procured before tha McKim left. We shall probnbly hear further by the next arrival. Alexander J. bcahoru, ot i-ulton county, lil., be longing to Company A, Illinois regiment, died on board the McKim on Thursday night, and was buried at sea. Several other poor fellows, apparently near their latter end, were on board. The tight cf these suffering and emaciated men, who had gone to their country's war full of hope and. health and enthusiasm, is one which touches the sensibilities most keenly. Unwelcome IVews! We find the following unpleasant intelligence in the New Orleans Delta of Sept. 7. Tiro loss oT the Truxton. We have Lad cause to regret the conduct of our navv durinr the oreseut war. tut the recent loss of the "Truxton, end her eiiamcful abandonment, are things which call up feelings of a dißerent nature : it is no longer regret that is inspired that must yield to the blush of shame for the Republic, and contempt for Borne of those to whom its defence and honor has been entrusted. We take for our tacts the correspondence cf a " gentleman attached to the uadron," published in the extra l'icayune yester day, and which will be found in another portion of our paper. And what arc theso facts! That Com. Carpendcr, of the Truxton, alter capturing a trading vessel, whobe master by the very act was probably rumed, and in whose breast the direst feelings ot revenge must have been engendered, "engaged the Captain of this vessel to pilot him into safe ancho rage. The Captain, as might have been expected from one whose nation and himself had been injured, paid oil the score by running the vessel on a rock. Every American would have dono the same thing under the same circumstances, and Mr. Carpendcr had no right to expect more from tho deceitful and unforgiving Mexican. Next lie started a boat's crew 1J0 miles for assistance, and it appears from the ac count tiiat they had to row the whole way. What became of " the small trading vessel," which one might suppose could have sailed, we arc not informed. But the brsg was on the reef, and while there, was so little damaged that the could send cut other boats and capture two other vessels, which, unfortunately, owing to the violence of tho gale, could not reach the Iru.xton I lien this trcmendeous galo began blow ing we cannot ascertain, r.or how, during its continuance a boat's crew could capture two vessels, yet be unable to make use cf them when captured. But at last the Princeton arrived at where the Truxton was lying, and found not a vessel so badly damaged as to bo a wreck; so far from it, she had only been stripped of her "light articles' by the Mexicans, and not being able or willing to get her on, had been obliged to burn her, in order to prevent her from falling into the hands of the enemy ! But where were the officers and crew 1 Had they re mained to defend the vessel till tho last hope of saving her or receiving assistance had expired 1 So. far. from it, they had abandoned her and gone ashore, where they were very hospitably received and treated by the inhabitants," and finding no enemies to arrest them, "had started on foot to Tampico to give themselves up as prisoucrs of war." Verily, after this the "pet arm of t!i3 national defence" will have to do much to retrieve its character. Well for us is it that we have no maritime war, and that in order to bo taken prisoners our ofliccrs must wake a journey of over a hundred miles on foot to secure for themselves the inestimable privilege. Were England or France our enemy, that force, on which we so much relied, would be swept from the ocean of which it once so proudly contested the control. In God's name may this be the last of inglorious failures. Loss of the IT. S. Hi-ig-otvtVar Ti uxton ! Cfficers and crew, with- the exception of two Lieutenants and Nineteen men taken prisoners by the Mexicans, and inarched to Tampico. We received this morning, by way of the Balize, the following note informing us of the wreck of the U. S. brig of war Truxton, with the capture of nearly the whole of her officers and crew, including the captain. The Truxton was a brig of 10 guns : U. S. Revenue Steamer LcgareJ 8. W.

S. brig of war Truxton was wrecked on the 15th ult., near the mouth of the river Tuspan. Two Lieutenants and nineteen men reached the squadron at Vera Cruz the balance of the officers and crew, including the captain, were mado prisoners, and it is said wera marched off to Tampico. The yellow fever has made its appearance on board the British vessels of war at Sacrificios. Tho scurvy prevailed to a great extent on board tho Totomac frigate. Tito balance of tho squadron were in good health. Santa Anna had landed at Vera Cruz. He was received with great demonstrations of joy the city and Castle saluting him. Ho was permitted to laud by Com. Conner. It is presumed that he had a passport. Yours, respectfully, in haste, JN. L. C. Arrival of Santa Avni in Vera Cruz Possession of California by the U. S. Naval forces Loss if the V. S. brig Truxton. The following letter from an esteemed friend, attached to the Squadron, gives tho particulars of this melancholy affair : Extractof a letter dum an officer attached to the 'Home Pquadron," t;ow at M.nton Lizardo," Dear Vera Cruz, dated August 29, 1S13. I avail myself of the sailing of the U. S. Cutter Legare, to give you an inkling of what is going on here. Santa Anna arrived here tn tha ICth Inst., from Havana, in the English merchant .steamer Arab, accompanied by his lady and friend, Gen. Almonte. Ho was well received on his landing at Vera Cruz, but our accounts say not very enthusiastic. Ho has gone to Mexico. Through the English squadron stationed here, wc were informed some time since that Com. Sloat, commanding the U. S. Naval Forces in the Pacific, had taken possession of California. This is what might have been expected. I regret to inform you of the loss of tho beautiful U.S. brig Truxton, by all accounts the best vessel of her class in our service, Capt. E. W. Carpendcr. The Truxton sailed from here in tho eorly part of this month for Tampico. On the 14th, wh'ilo standing into the harbor at Tuspan, 10 miles north of Vera Crux, a small Mexican coasting vessel was discovered, and soon after made a prize of. Capt. Carpendcr engaged the captain of this vessel to pilct him into a safe anchorage, but in doing so ran the Truxton on a reef, where she was soon in a very perilous situation. Capt. Carpendcr then despatched Lieut. Berry man t the squadron for the assistance of a steamer. The boot in which this otEcer left was, after four days hard pulling, picked up by the St. Mary's, ,ofT Vera Cruz. As soun as our Commodore was informed of the fact, ho sent the Princeton to Tuepan. While the brig was on tho reef, after the departure of Lieut. Eerryman, two Mexican coasting vessels appeared in tho ofilng; these were captured by a boat's crew, in charge of Lieut. Bushrod Hunter, but this gentleman was unable, from the violence of the gale blowing at the time, to reach the wreck with th prizes and was therefore compelled to make for th
o;r.ccrs onu crew who were with bim, landed at luspan on the 17th. and were hospitably received and treated by the inhabitants. On the 10th they started on foot for Tampico, intending to offer themselves as prisoners of war. S.nce then, we have "no further
accounts of them. On the return of the Ca? of truce tj the Princeton, the commander of that vessel, find ing there was no possibility of saving the Truxton, set her on fire, f.nd slie had burnt to the water's edge i when the Princeton took her departure. The following is a list of ihe oificers attached to the Truxton, who have gone to Tampico: Commander E. W. Carpendcr; Acting Master Isaac N. Briceland; Tassel Midshipmen John P. Eankhedd and George B. Bisscll; Turscr George F. Cutter; Assistant Surgeon John S. Messersmith; Midshipman Simeon S. Bassett ; Captain's Clerk. II.

The Hoi-moil AV;:r! We find the following in the St. Louis Daily Union of Sept. 11: Important fkom Nacvoo a Battle ! The Ocean Wave, which arrived yesterday morning from Keokuk, brings intelligence that a battle was fought on Friday afternoon, between the rioters of Hancock county and tho people of Nauioo. From all we can gather, the facts are about these: A movement of a hostile cha racter, on the part of the Anties, being" perceivable on tl.o .vmn.M o. r.f I'rl.hv nl,t ll.r.o hmwlrod of thn citizens of Nauvoo inarched out in the direction of the Anti-Mormon force, and took up a position one mile from the Temple on the La Harpe road. They were commanded by Col. Ilc:;jamin Clifford, and had five six-pound pieces of artillery. About three o'clock in tho afternoon the Antics made their appearance. They numbered eight hundred men, and had also five six-pounders. Col. Singleton having resigned two days previously, they were led on by Col. brock man. The firing immediately commenced on both sides, the two lines being formed within three hundred yards of each other. The Antics used their ortillery freely, but the Nauvoo forces being well sheltered, and resolved to net only on the defensive, reervcd their artillery fire. The action listed two hours, during which time the firing was irregular, but almost incessant. At length the Antics retired, and took up a position beyond tho enemy's shot, intending, as is reported, to renew the engagement the next morning. The report of killed is, one on the part of the Nauvoo forces, and fijtcen on that of the assailants. Gen. Taylor and the Gamblers. A correspondent gives an account of an interview between Gen. Taylor and a fellow well known to the army, who attempted to establish a drinking and gambling establishment at Camargo. The chap's goods had been re-shipped by order of the Commandant of the town, and lie was ordered olT. He became insolent and abusive in consequence, and went so far that Captain Miles ordered hitn to be arrested and put in the guard house, until the boat was ready. On his being released, he went up to Gen. Taylor's tent and made a Ion? and bitter complaint to old Rough and Beady. The General sat and listened to him in silence. I When he had closed, the General rose very coolly, , !- ii . t i nnu asKca mm u no nnu got tnrougu. - icswr, i believe I have." "Well then," exclaimed the General, applying his right toe to a prominent part of the fellow's body in a very emphatic manner, "be off from here, or I'll kick you clear into the United States."

A letter written at Independence, .Missouri, on the 2Gth of August, and published in the St. Louis Repiiblicanrfornishes some statistical ; details of the trade to Santa Fo and the southern Mexican provinces, which is much greater this year than any former one, owing mainly to the closing of the ports on tho scabord. Thirty-nine companies of traders have gone out this season, taking with them 413 wagons, which are in tho charge of about 8('0 men. Tho value of the goods carried out by these traders is estimated at nearly a million of dollars. A Bit ave Gentleman. Ono of the papers coolly states that a clerk dismissed for his incapacity from the Navy Department intends following Mr. Bancroft to Boston, to inflict upon him a personal insult. This brave clerk attempted the same thing at Washington, and was foiled by Mr. Bancroft's presence of mind, though he cunningly sought a moment when Mr. B., entirely off his guard and not firm in health, was courteously giving him an opportunity to vindicate his claims. A noted Commodore, not so famous for his courage, temperance ond humanity as for his violent opposition to promotion by merit, is the friend and patron of tho doughty clerk, who, it ought to bo said, has about half a dozen of his connections quartered on the Government. As the Secretary of the Navy is just recovering from a severe illness, the time is particularly favorable, and wo may 60on hear of the attack premeditated. There is no doubt whatever it is planned and paid for by the discontented officers of the Navy, who, by the new regulations, must bo willing to do their duty or bo content with half pay ; still, for tho price they give, they could find a more discreet and elficient bully. X. Y. Sun. Tkouele in Onto. The people of Mercer county, Ohio, or some of them, have assembled in public meeting and passed divers resolutions of expulsion, by force, if necessary, ogainst tho colored people residing in that county. Gov. Bartley has issued a proclamation in consequence, enjoining the public officers to do their duty iu the premises. Tho Randolph emancipados arc at prevent scattered in the county of Miami, and are suffered to remain in peace. It is somewhat stratfgo that nearly all the great powers are in trouble at j; resent and engigcd in border warfare. The United States liaie Mexican hostility, England the Caffreland, France Ab-del-ka-der, Russia the Circassians, and until recently Trussia and Austria were embroiled in a Polish insurrection. GtSrA serious accident occurred in JcfTersonville a few days since. A laborer was engaged shovelling gravel from a high bank which caved in, nearly burying the unfortunate man, and driving the sharp edge of the shovel with such force against his leg as to carve clear from the bone, all the flesh upon"it; Le was otherwise so badly injured that his recovery is doubtful.

We are pained to Lam that Samuel E:ccr.r., late Governor of Indiana, died during Hie last week, at Fort Wayne, cf congestive fever, uf.er a sickness of but a few days. Iiis prominent standing, and his private and public virtues, will of course call f,r a somew hat extended notice hereafter from some of his numerous friends. At present we will only say that his whole public career, as a Legislator, Judge, and Governor, was distinguished by uprightness, independ ence, and ability ; and that in all his private relations, he was kind, eenerous ond honest. Notwithstanding the high state" of ptrty feeling that prevailed during the three years of his service as Governor, we believe it may be said with truth, that he had, without exception, the personal esteem of both parlies. He had been for many years a member of the Presbyterian Church, and while here, was a ruling Elder, and we understand lie died with the comfortable assurance of a happy immortality. His amiable consort and fatherless children, have our warmed sympathy in their melancholy bereavement. Journal. In Ireland, aged CO, died Jean Errmrd Logier, the inventor of the Logierian system of teaching music, which in the year 1317 made so much noise in the world. Logier was also the inventor of the keyed, or Kent bugle, and Chiroplast, a sort of frame for the fingers, for pupils on the pianoforte ; he was a highly altnted man, both as a composer and a performer. An Important Letter. The following letter from Samuel Lawrence, Eq., says the Hartford Times, is important at this time. It is evident from one well qualified to speak, that the new tarill will not injure the important manufacturing interests of New England. He shows also, the increasing demand for fine wool says their factory is now using rie tniUion pounds annually, and that they ore about to put up two more factories, one of which will use tiro million pounds, and the other sctm hundred thousand annually. Thus wc find provision made by one company, for the consumption of three mUlionx seven hundred thousand pounds of fine wool annually. This docs not look like ' ruin. The letter eppcars in the Washington (Fa.) Exav.iner : Lowell, August Oth, 1940. Thomas Miner. Eso. Hickory, Pa. Deak Sir : Your esteemed favor of the first of August duly come to hand, and annexed I beg to hand I you an account of your wool, which amounts to jsS'J 70, for winch you will draw on Lawrence, bton?

I wish mot IiearUlv tout H Was 111 our VOW CT lO BIMW '0U UCIXCr pri'.'lS thO i haS will be returned in accordance with your direcHons. " We now use about a million pounds of f no wool. and arc starting another null, which will require cloul seven hundred thousand piujids yearly in addition. We are laying the f nidations of another establishment, nine miles from here, which will require about tiro mil.'ions of pounds more per annum. I remain yours, and truly, SAML LAW RENTE. Surely, the Democrats have ruined the country; in audition to tho ubovc, Mr. Lawrence says, too, that he has no cause to discharge a single hand, nor reduce the xcages of one a single cent.' Clocks maue et Steam. Messers. Sperry &. Shaw, Cottrilandt street, have lately introduced machinery for the manufacture of brass clocks in this city. Until very recently they have always been made in Connecticut or Massachusetts. Messrs. S. & S., we understand, have quite a large establishment, employing twenty-five men, and turning out iu or.c dny one hundred clocks in complete order, beautifully finished. The wheels are pressed out of Bheet brass. In other words, a large roll of sheet brass is put into a heavy press ; after a few twistings the brass comes cut in the shape of finely finished wheeN,at the rate of GO per minute. The motive power is a large steam engine X. Y. Sun. CnunciiEs i.v New Yo.ik.

Joiixxr, the well known and faithful servant of the late John Randolph, who, with the other emancipated staves of his mister, went to Ohio and were there treated by tho citizens in a manner of which our readers have been apprized, has returned to Char lotte, with the intention of pctitionin-T the Lrrrisla- , ,Ä ii I . . . .. , i.i ture to allow him to remain in the Commonwealth. tie says tney nave no ieeun ur coiorcu people in Ohio, and if tho Legislature refuse to srrant his petition, he will submit to the penalty of remaining and lie sold as a slave; preferring this to enjoy inj freedom in a free state.
