Marin's Protest.

New Orleans, Alanch 31. Marin, signing himself Admiral of the Mexican navy, published a protest against, the capture of his steamers. He says that neither the Saratoga, India'iola or IV’mr showed their flags when they approached. He knew that, the Indianola and Wave were Juarez’ steamers and he supposed they were towing armed boats to the attuck ami attempted to escape. Two shuts were ? at him, which he returned, and then r s ecognizn 1 the Saratoga and ordered rxhe lilting to cease, notwithstanding tlie'at- ■ tack continued with the known results. lie says that he purchased the steamers at Havana, from merchants, by order of the Su- ■ pretne; Government of Mexico, the nationalize i one; the other will he nationalized on reaching Mexico if proved worthy. Washington correspond uit of the Charleston Courier tells some wholesome truthsiabont the Democratic Disunion movement/ That party is evidently getting discontented anddiscouraged in regard to this sort of investment, in which it has so extensively embarked. The writer alluded to says; •» “The truth is that. di-uiim, out of South C iral tja, and a fey earnest sp ri s here and there iii the Gulf States, is a mere game of the politician <. ft is a raw head with which they hoA-to fright n the inevitable Yankees from sc zing'Ofi th irs'mre of the public spoils. This is the tj’uth. and when a State acts on a different th ory, it is the fahle of the mountain an ft the iti uis \ as exhibi’qd in the present form of the Southern States Conference question. Appearing in a South Carolina Disunion Democratic organ, this may be called tolerably explicit. A young and beautiful girl, of Concord, Missouri, having an intense desire to know the secrets of the Sons of Alalia, ■ dressed! in male attire, and by succession of ingenious devices, made the acquaintance and won the confidence_of an unsuspecting ■ Son, wjio presented her application for membership, and under an assumed name and sex: it was favorably passed npon. At the proper time for initiation the young lady appeared, and was introduced into the lodge rojjin by the Grand Conductor. What she saw and heard,, the uninitiated-can never know. jUlie braved the ordeal nobly. Her secret known only to herself, she seemed to be perfectly satisfied, and well pleased with the good condition of the members. The denouement of the affair is: in one month’s time frojn her entrance into the lodge room, she wasiled to the altar a blushing bride and n Stfn of Malta. Perhaps the only case .of the kind on -ecord.
