Orleans on Friday night.
HT Mn. Blunt, a daughter of Franois L. Key,
anthor of the Star Spangled Banner, is entertaining
the citizens of New Orleans with readings of the
poets.
ÉB" Geo. W. Kendall, of the New Orleans Pica-
yune, arrived this morning in the Chas. Morgan,
<n route for his boms in Comal county.
Batlob Uwvxbsitt.—We had the pleasure of
eterday President Burleson, of Baylor
located at Independence, Washington
County. We are glad to learn that the Institution
is emerging from its pecuniary embarrassments
under whioh it has labored, and that the energy of
its President has placed it among the first socods-
mies in Texas. The faculty is a most excellent one.
Among the professors we notice the names of Dr.
D. B. Wallace Professor of Languages, and Oscar
H. Leland, the mathematician,—two scholars who
would do honor to any Institute of learning in any
State. The Spring Term of the Univenity will
commence on the 1st of February, instead of March
as hitherto.

formed under Bobles, and Eebseg-
•J*y (lately Zakmgist) has pronounced in his fever.
The scattered ConstítotioaalMs at Jalapa and Cotdo-
v,> b«e joined Ecbeagaray, so that febles derives
strength from both eon tending parties. Zaloaga has
"wared the city of Mexico in a slate of seige, and is
fending himself against the new revolt.
Later News.
Subsequent information to the above is to the fol-
wing effect: Zaloaga, on hearing of the revolt of
Edieagaray, sent a commission to him, of which Rob-
les was one, to propose terns of accommodation; bat
none could he made. After this, Ecbeagaray was
defeated and taken prisoner by theEaloagists; bat in
the meantime a new revolt of the troops in the city of
Mexieo, in favor of Bobles, occurred, by which Za-
loaga was disposed, and fled to the house of the Eng-
lish Minister; from which he seeks to make tense
simply for his personal safety. Since then, Bobles has
sent commissioners to confer with the Jnares Govern-
ment—the particulars of which are not known.
Great dissatisfaction has bosn created among all
parties in Mexico by the tenor of President
Buchanan's message upon Mexican affairs, and par-
ticularly among the Liberals, who are the most
friendly to our institutions.
Another despatch, from our special oorrecpond-
ent irom the Isthmus of Tehauntepeo, is as follows:
" Vera Crux advices, of the 8th ult., received at
Mioatitlan, announce ¿be fall of the Zaloaga Gov-
ernment. This took place on the 28d ult. Bobles
Zuloaga's successor. He headed the move-
ment by which Baloega waa displaced, The latter
fled to the house of the British Minister for protec-
tion.
" It appears that on the 24th, Zuloaga took
Ecbeagaray prisoner in Puebla, and sentenced him
to death, bat.the rislngjin Mexico prevented his exe-
cution.
" On the 37th, Boblee sent a mission to Vara Cruz
to eonfer with the Government of Jnarea, bat the
purport of the mission or its result is not known.
" The political prisoners in Mexico were all re-
leased.
" It is supposed that this movement at the capí-
tol will place Juarez at the head of the Govern-
ment of Mexieo.
" There was great rejoicing at Vera Cruz."
We have still another account, which states that
Bobles sent Commissioners to Vera Cruz to trest
with Juarez, with a view to efleot a reconciliation
of the two factions.

On o> Psbntici's But.—A Tennessee journal,
reviewing a severe artiele in the Edinburg Beview,
for April, 1858, on the late Edgar Poe, attributes it
to the "Bev. Sydney Smith, the editor" of that
quarterly. Opon which the Louisville Journal takes
occasion to say :
What business, we should like to know, has the
Bev. Sydney Smith to be hanging around thia earth
editing the Edinburg Beview, writing "refined Bil-
lingsgate," venting bis "national prejudice," and
displaying bis "critical aoumen" generally at the
expense of other people as dead as himself ? The
thing is a ghastly innovation. It is a most un-
earthly indignity. It ia an infernal outrage. Flesh
snd blood ought not to be expected to bear it. In
the name of tie profession we thsnk the vigilant
and spirited editor of the Nashville Gazette for the
merited rebuke which he has administered to the
"reverend gentleman." Let him edit Beviews in
bis own world. We want no competition from that
iuarter. Sydney Smith is behaving very shabbily,
[e doesn't gBt a liek amiss. Hit him again. He has
parted from all his frisnds. He deserves every bit
of it.

•and dollars in the two years.
Abizona.—The St. Louis Bepublioan, in men-
tioning the arrival of Maj. Emory in that oity, last
month, from Arizona, says that he furnished the
following information in regard to the Gold Dig-
gings of Gila:
The number of persons employed in the diggings
is about 250. Those st work realized about five dol-
lars. The diggings extend about three miles along
the Gili river, and two milee back. The gold ia
found in galehes, and the dirt is carried to the river
for washing. The miners have generally nothing
but picks and pana to work with. The gold is fine
scale gold, and is reckoned to be .worth $18 to the
ounce. M%j. Emory saw at the Fort 200 ounces, snd
supposes that some 400 or BOO ounces have been
taken out. The minars had been actively st work
only about a month.
It was the opinion of some of the experienced Ca-
lifornia miners who have examined these diggings
that they an not to be oompared, as some have sup-
posed, to the Cslifornia surface diggings. The
greatest draw-back is the want of convenient water,
nor Is it supposed thst this want can be supplied by
any artificial works whioh it would pay to con-
uct there. From the want of timber, all —
A Ban Sien.—There is no enrer sign of an un-
manly and cowa'dly spirit than a vague desire for
help—a wish to depend, to lean on somebody, and
enjoy the fruits of other people's industry. There
are maltitudec of young men who indulge in dreams
of help from acme quarter coining in at a conveni-
ent moment to enable them to secare the soeces in
life which thsy covet. The vision haunts them of
tome benevolent old gentleman with a pooket lull
of money, a box fall of scrip, a trunk full of mort
gages, and a mind remarkably appreciative of merit
aad genius, who will, psrhaps, give or lend them
from one thousand to tsn thousand dollars, with
which tW may commence business snd go on
swimmingly. P<
turn and and thei
emerge into ecclesiastical popularity, and raiss up
to a fat sahry or bishopric, at least.
One of be most painfnl sights in the world, is
that of a young man with a strong constitution
and a presa table figure, standing with his hands
in hi* pock* longing for help. There are positions
in whioh tb most independent spirit msy grace-
fully acceptassistsnce ; may, in fact, as a oboice of
evils, desire t; but for a man who is able to help
himself, to aek help from others, is positive proof
that he lias been unfortunately trained, and that
an indolent las exists in his charscter. Let us not
be misundettood ; we would not inonlcate the
wide of perenal independence, which in its sensi-
-ilveness repto the good offices of friends—what
we condemn k a young man, is the habit of depend-
ence which mkes him anxious to except as a favor
those things thich he might readily acquire by his
own industrié exertions. A man who willingly
receives sssistbeé, especially if he has spplied for
it, invsriablfflls himself to the benefactor, nnless
his patron havens ~to be a man of sense, who is
giving absolutiy necessary assistance to one whom
be knowa to txboth sensitive and honorable.
_ such
works would be very expensive. The drought in the
summer and the bad quality of the water for drink-
ing purposes will probably make it impossible to
mine through that season, which is excessively hot
there.
In Arizona a good deal was said about silver min-
ing. There are three of these mines now being
worked near Tucson. The ore is rioh snd very
promising. There is worifgolng on at the great
copper mine, the ore of whioh yields 50 per cent, of
metal. Thia ore is wagoned to Fort Ynma, and
thenoe sent down the Colorado by the steamers,
whioh navigate that river. A number of men were
met going to the silver mine, which is being work-
ed by the Cincinnati Company. There is but little
immigration to Arizona.
Citv Taxis as Exrxicsxs.—The steady increase
in the expense of lsrge cities, is looked to with fore-
boding of evil in many parts of the country, as all
checks upon taxation seem to be but temporary, and
the general tendency is to increase the amount of ex-
penditure and the rate of taxation either directly or
indirectly by marking up valuations. The tax levy
of New York for 1859, has just been submitted to tbe
Common Council, and the sum total reaches the as-
tounding aggregate of nearly $8,000,000. Of this a>
mount, in round numbers, a million is devoted to the
police, a million for water, eight hundred thousand
for the poor, a million and a quarter for schools, a
million and a half for streets, half a million for light-
ing the streets, and six hundred thousand for salaries.
The expenditures of the State of New York are much
1ms than those of the city, being only about five mil-
Cotton M*kfactuxzs.—In a recent report of
the Boston Boar of Trade we find some interesting
statistics in relabn to the manufacture of cotton in
New England, pared with that of the Middle
States. The vak of the cotton manufactures of the
State of New Yfcia 1840, was less than $4,000,000;
in 1845 it was leithan in 1835, and in 1835 short of
$5,000,000, Thhmount of capital employed there
15 years ago wt greater than at this moment, and
at no tine has ex«ded $5,000,000. In New Jersey
the yearly value < cotton made is less than $1,500,-
000. In Pennsyhnia tbe annual value is only $(,-
000,000. Ma«sac\«etU has 294 faetorie , with a cap-
ital of $34,000,00(running one and a half million
spindles consumii about 220,000 bales of cotton,
weaving 315,000,0 yards of cloth, valued with
yarns and other faics at $34,000.000 yearly.
New England mrames on an average 500,000
bales of cotton anally, costiog at 10 oents a pound
$15,000,000. Henills turn out one-twelfth of all
the cotton made inie world. The goods are coarser
and cheaper than ftse made abroad. While the-raw
material is increaseby the nuLnufacture 350 per cent
in England, it is incased only 90 per eent (as is sta-
ted) in Massachuse.
No Cause for TVNxsoivine.—The example of
the Democrat, whvn Thanksgiving day, said of
the result of the nnt elections, thst "he didn't
know what be or bparty bad to be thsnkfnl for,"
has been closely i rated by Hugh S. Walsh, ''ao-
of Kiaaa "
ting Governor <
men of Wiandot CI. Ksnsss territory, having re-
quested Mr. Walsh appoint a day of thanksgiv-
ing for the psople ahe territory, that functionary
declined to comply tying that "were an epidemic
to be raging in onof the counties of Ksnsss, it
would be unfeelingr the remainder to be shouting
hosannas and praiseo the Almighty, nothing be-
ing then appropriataroapt fasting and prayer."—
"So," continnee MiWalsb, "since the notorious
James Montgomeryas recommenced his system
of plundering and trending in Linn countv, en-
couraged by the snort of a leading Bepublioan
presa in the territory, would be quite inappropri-
ate and unfeeling oty part to recommend thanks-
giving, as you desire and soon.
Joaeph B. Taylor, Charles Devlin, Charles Turner,
and Francis B. Yidell, "indicted officials," who re-
cently forfeited their recognizances, were all taken
into custody on the 27th ult., on bench warrants from
A* Court of Sessions. Taylor is charged with em-
hszslirrg fifty thousand dolían of the tax payers mon-
ey, and the others with obtaining money under false
pntenses, in connection with certain contracts for
opening and grading streets.
InroKTAMT Decisions.—The Supreme Court this
morning, decided the great oasee of Henry Cartro
and others vs. John H. Illiss, from Bexar, involv-
ing Immense tracts of land, and the Thomas J.
Chai bars vs. Joeiah Flsk and others, involving the
eight leagues immediately north of the city of Aus-
tin. In the former case Chief Justice Wheeler de-
livtrei a very able opinion and affimed tbe judge-
meat, cancelling the Deeds of trust in favor of
CaskoS wife, and confirming the purchases of Illiss

In the Chambers case, Judge Boberta in a very
\ learned opinion reversed the judgment of the court
below, nd decided in favor of the power of the
overnmint of Coahulia and Texas to make the

So deeMons of the Court have ever disponed of

M aboh or Civilizaos asd Botkxmxst.—Bat-
fighting is one of theoet popular amusements of
the day with the swtaob in Nsw York, and it Is
corns to beso extensily patroniud, that the newe
paper reporters stteoas regularly ss tbs musios!
or dramatic eritie attls the theatre or opera. In

Csakcb or tbs Pacitio Baomas.—Ion In his
letter from Wsshington, of tbs 29th ult., to the
Baltimore Sun, say*:
It ia stated that tbs Bepublkan members of
Congress have eome to the oondusion that, ow-
ing to the state of parties, nothing will be done at
thia cession in regard ta a modification of tbe tariff,
or a railroad to the Pacific. Other aooon^s ascribe
a similar conclusion to tbe Democratic members. -
But it sppears, notwithstanding, that the rtate of
partiee in the Senate is such as will probably
the pas age of the Pacific railroad bill in thst body
by a email majority. In tbe House there may. be
more doubt, on account of the difficulties arising,
not from ecruplee of eoocomy or of constitutional
power, but from the choice of a route.
But whatever may be the resulte or tbe pi<
before Con gres , it le very certain that chann
communication between the Atlantic and tbs
fio, across tbe Americsn continent, havs be cobs s
commercial necessity, and will be effected To Bát
ish enterprise and policy, the world will, no doolt,
be indebted for a continuous railroad from the Cal-
adas to British Columbia, and thia route will to
shorter by two thousand miles between England asi
China than the Panama route.
A southern route is aleo offered to American ea-
lerpriae, through Mexico, to the Pacific, and tb|
baa lately attracted much attention from the fad
that the route will be self-sustaining, and mort
rapid, safe, and cheap for trade and travel, thaa an]
we no# have or likely to have. The two Oceana ap-
proach each other more nearly in the Quits of Mex-
ico and Callfornts than sny other line within tbe
temperate zone. The points of nearest approaoh
are Aransas Bay^n Texas, and Mszatlan.
The direct dlataaoe ia eboat 800 milee, and the
engineering difficulties of railroad oonctruotion era
said to less thsnttpon any other known route on
the continent. The region is well watered, and
well cupplied with fuel, provisions, snd building
msterisls. Ths way travel on this route will, it is
believed, sustain tb* road—an advantage which
oannot bs claimed for any other. A sum net ex-
ceeding fifteen millions, and quite within tbe lim-
its of privsts means, will complete the road. The
right of way baa been granted to an American
company, together with great faollitiea for the con-
struction of the road—all the materials employed
in which sre to be fro* of duty.
The harbor of Xransas is tbe only one on the Gulf
of Msxioo adapted to beoome the Atlentic terminus
of this remarkable inter oceanic highway. Tbe har-
bor of MazatUn is safe and commodious. A Texas
company is chartered for the pnrpoae of continuing
a ratlrosd, within that 8tate,to Aransas Bay, and
thense to tbe Bio Grande, with liberal aid from the
State. Upon the completion of the Texas road,
there will be a continuous and direct lineof roailroad
from Portland, in Maine, to the Bio Grande, and it
will remain, only to continue this line through
Mexioo to Mazatlan, to serve as a highway to tbe
Pacific, which will meet the reqniremen'c of oom-
meroe and travel, and bind the Northern and South-
ern Atlantic, and the Gulf States more closely to
each other, and conneot tbem with our States on tbe
Pacific.
Thus it would seem tbat the desired railroad be-
tween the Atlantio and the Pacific is already made
or provided for, with tbe exception of an interval
of about six or seven hundred miles, and that mea-
sores have been take.i to complete it. No aid is
asksd frem the federal government for this object,
exoept to cause an exploration and survey to be
made of the route of the road proposed through
Mexico. As to tbe protection of the rightof way
and of the road, and all Amerioan interests con-
nected Willi it by the United States Government,
there csn be no hesitation. The principles annouo
oed in the late message of Mr. Buohanan, and the
letter of Gen. Case- to Gen. Lamar, apply to tbe
case. But no difficulty is expected to arise from
Mexioo in the construction or use of this road through
her territory; and, on the contrary, the project is
regarded as the promise of a better day for Mexico.

Ge to Be Eably.—To all yonng persons, to stu
oenis, to the aedentary, and to invalids, the fullest
sleep that tbe system will take, without artificial
means, is the balm of life—without it there can be no
restoration to health and activity again. Never wake
up the sick or infirm, er young children, of a morn-
ing—it is a barbarity; let them wake of themselves;
let tbe care rather be to establish an hour for retiring,
so early that their fullest sleep may be out before aun-
ie.
Another item of very great importance is: Do not
hurry up the young and weakly. It is no advantage
to pull them out of bed as soon as their eyes are open,
nor is it best for the studious, or for the well who have
passed an unusually fatiguing day, to jamp out of bed
the moment tbey wake until the sense of weariness
peaces from their limb . Nature abhors two things;
violence and a vacuem. The sun does not at once
break into tbe glare of the meridian. The diurnal
flowers unfold thehuelves by slow degrees; nor fleet-
est beast, nor sprigbtliest bird, leaps at once from its
resting plaee.
By all of which we mean to say, that as no physi-
ological truth is more demonstrable than that the brain
nd with it the whole nervoos system, i recuperated
by sleep, it is of the first importance, to the well be-
ing of the human system that it have its fullest meas-
ure of it; and to that end, the habits of retiring to
bed early should be made imperative on all children,
and no ordinary event should be allowed to interfere
with it. Its moral heahhfulneas is not less important
than its physical. Many the young woman has made
tbe first step towards degradation, and crime, and dis-
ease, after 10 o'clock, at night, at which hours, the
year round, the old, the middle aged, and the yor—
should be in bed, and then the early rising will ts
cars of itself, with the incalculable accompaniment
of a fully rested body and a renovated brain. We
repeat it, there is neither wisdom, nor safety or health
in early rising in itself, but there is all of them in the
persistent practice of retiring to bedat an early hour,

by the action ofxinc or diluted sulphuric acid. The
hydrogen gas is transmitted to the second part of
the engine, where it ic mixed with a certain quan-
tity of atmoepherie air. Tbe mixture ic the a
exploded by a email fieme, fed from tbe genera-
tore, the aperture at whioh the ignition ic effeoted
being eloced immediately after tbe detonation. By
the collapee of the gaceouc mixture after detona-
tion, a partial vacuum is provided, which is made
to prodaoe an ox ha action in the third compart-
ment, against which the atmoepherie pressure ie
made to act. Th. motion thus produced is trans-
mitod by a crank or othcrwicc to a abaft, where it
ic regulated by a fly-wheel, end used as steam or
ether motive power.
Death or a Fun oh Gmibal.—'Tbe gallant Gen
Ardant who, after commanding tbe artillery through
the Crimean war, has juat met hie death by a sin-
gular accident at Vlnoennec. In oompeny with
iarahal Vaillant, tbe Miniater of War, and a large
number of officers, he waa watching the effects of
the explosion of bombe from the blcek boose
bnilt for tbat-pnrpoae. A very email opening
of leca than on ¡non wide was left for tbe pnr-
poae of obeervation, and tbe office took their plaoe
at thia alternately. Searoely had Gen. Ardant
placed himself before it, when a bomb exploded and
'ragmeat peering through the trilling aperture,
■ok him on the forehead with euch force as to
Uttcrary scatter his broinc oa bis brother officers
around. Thus diad. ia the mita of friends and

ooldier, who bad paaood unscathed through a hun-

Another Fight.
We have, justas we were going to press, received
a letter from William Clements of Comanche Co.
We would insert in full but lack room. He says :
"A fight took place between 8 of Capt. William's
men, and 8 Indians on tbe 20tb Deo., on the head
of Cowhouse creek on the east side of the mountain.
The whites killed two on the ground, and wounded
three more; one of the wounded was shot off of his
horse. One man got off of his horse to shoot at tbe
Indians and his horse broke away from bim and
followed them, another man's pistol went off aeci-
dently and killed bis mule—this was all the barm
tbat waa done to the whites.

this, which we have from the most reliable at/,
pec table authority—a notion of insubordina?!
grew into the margin of this county from K«ri
spread at fares and such like gatherings, and it wal
only embraced by laborers who were allured by l.igh
aes, strangers and vagabonds ; but no man wlit>-
any thing to lose, had a pari in it.
A Dublin paper which pretends to bo well in-
formed, gives tbe following as the substance of the
rules and regulation of the Bibbon Societies :
The association is divided into five orders or dis-
tinctions 1. The county Delegate ; 2. The I'arith
Master ; 8. The Body Master ; 4. Tbe Committee-
man ; 5. The mere Bibbonman. Each county in
Ireland has a delegate, aud every shire in England
and in Scotland, in which Irleh emigrants are, in
any number located, has its delegates and its lodges.
The meetings arc hold in such public houses as have
private rooms. In all places where there may be
strangers, the members of tbe association use eigtB
and passwords to ascertain whether or not, there are
any of their own fraternity present. These pass-
words are decided at the quarterly meelings of the
general body.
The fuudb, it is said, aro raised thus : The county
delegate returning from the quarterly meeting,
summons a county meeting of Parish Masters, to
whom he conveys the " goods,1- the Blgns and pass-
wards and in return they pay him each 5s. Wben
the Parish Master goes back to his own district, he
passes on the goods to the Body Masters, each Ol
whom pay him 1b ; and from each Individual mem
ber the Body Master extratcs a payment of Cd.
Each member must attend the summons of his or-
der within two hours. If a member enters a room
here there ie a mixed company, be says "What do
you think of the times? " A Bibbonman answer*
him " We aro expecting a change." Ho test the
fact that tbe reply íb given intentionally*, and ~
by:cbance, the Bibbonman rejoins "In what case'
and if the Btranger answers " Tbe precint Minis
try," the new-comer knowB that he has found a
brother. If be sees a quarrel, he says to ons ol
the combatants " Do^'t be contentious, sir," and
if he is answered, " Not with you," he ranges him-
self on tbe side of his brother. —
Tbe Catholic clergy denounce these socletiae from
the altar, and it is probable that the Government
organs exaggerate their numbers, for political pur-
poses.
