The subjoined extract is fifem a letter
written to Hon. B. F. Neal by Mr. Mose-
;Jy, at Corpus Christi, dated January 3d,
1854, Mr. Mosely says:
"During last week, which was Chistmas,
a train arrived from some of the upper posts,
accompanied by a lieutenant and a number
of non commissined dffie'ers, boundffor Cal-
fornia. It seems the party had liquor, and
the soldiers and teamsters Were rawing.
One of the teamsters was rather "obstropu-
lous.' and gave offence to the lieutenant,
who,rthe next morning, had <he teamster
arrested, after most of the train IfiSH started,
tied him behind his wagon, and made him
travel there all day. At night he was re-
leased, and on his arrival her^aophis im-

The fifth contains an alternative propo-

that Mexico shall cede to the United States-

New Year's night when at a fandango, on
the hill, a row was raised between the Mexi-
cans and teamsters and a portion of a com-
pany of Rifles, that have been here since
Gen'l Smith's return.
On that night the Mexicans' got the bet-
ter of the Americans, and ran them down
the hill into town, cutting sonA four or five

18 or 20 of the Rifles went up into the

revenge." They burnt two jacals and Bias

ican and2 wounded several* others. Maj.
Buell was upon the ground, as soon as he
could get there, after hearing what was going
on, and instantly put a stop to the affair.
About the same time, the bugle sounded
for them at camp, and there were some hur-

Eastern affairs.
New York, Jan. 17.—Halif Pasha, broth-
er-in-law of the Sultan, has been appointed
Minister of the Interior in the Turkish Cab-
inet. His entrance in the ministry is looked
upon as favorable to peace measures,
The Turkish bulletins have acknowledged
the evacuation of the Russian territories in
Asia.
The latest advices from St. Petersburgh
have no ftirther reference to politices, ex-
cept the remark that preparatins were go-
ing on.in all quarters, to an extent that
would seem to denote that they are made
|&h a view to more serious contingencies
than war with-Turkey alone.
'^"Hfe Sultan has consented to accept the
last note ofthe Vienna Conference, consid-
ering^ not incompatible with the honor of
Tirelygr, and agrees to send a Plenipoten-
tiary to some neutral city, to meet a similar
envoy from the Czar. The Porte,Jhowever,
refuses to renew the treaties of Kynatdki
and Adrianople which have been broken
by the Czar, and makes "the evacuation of
the Principalities a sine qua non.
There is a little hope of a favorablt) reply
from the Czar, and should he rtfuse to ac
cept the proposed terms a general war is
considered certain.
A story was put in circulation to the ef-
fect that five ships [probably fireships] had
been sent to th Bosphorus to fire die fleet
lying there, but not credited.

The latest advices £rom Asia, state that

Occurred inthis city but a short time since
and from a singular trause. The person de-
prived of reason is- a young lady of great
promise, of a^very active and extraordinary
mind, youngest daughter of the most distin-
guished member of the Suffolk bar. She
attended church not many Sundays ago at
the Trinity in this city, and listened atten-
tively to a sermon on the subject of hell!
The influence of the discourse so operated
upon her mind as to produce insanity of
such a type as to require*tbe use of a strait
jacket and confaeraents in the hospital at
Worcester. The parents are inlhe deepest
sorrow in consequencc of this sad event.
H was thought by her medical attendants
some days since that she would recover.
Interesting to Ladies.
Extravagance we say, has struc^ in.—
It appears that soine one has returned
from Europe with the information, that
ladies of high rank there frequently spend
more money upon the part of their ward-
robe which is unseen, than upon that Which
is seen. Hence, the ruling ambition of the
season, among the newly enriched, is to
possess the ~ costliest article of invisible
Attire; to exhibit at home tc particular
friends, and at street crossings and puddles
| (real and imaginary,) to the puplicat large*
j skirts of the most elaborate construction; to
j wear yards&ifand yards of lace embroicery
; and stitchings; where the eye cannot
penetrate, to carry about all day a small
fortune concealed among a strate of thart
apparel, and at night to robe whicn cost
more money than the poor girls, who
ruined her eyes by making them can savfjfci
years.
Not to put loo fine a point upon it,we
may as well mention that for the robes

Emigration From Alabama.
The Selma Sentinel is the autheriiy for
the following statements:
"No one has any idea what large numbers
of emigrants leave Alabama every year. On
Monday morning last there were over five
hundred on board, the steamer Wetumpka,
nearly all from Alabama; and there is scarce
!y a singte'bTjat that passes down the river
but there are more or less persons aboard,
going to Texas, and that too from Alabama.
If the people were all, we would not care a
feather, but with them they carry their pro.

ding from the road of the Hamilton Valley, | tance ofthe State aS a political body. Since

tains large quantities of Copper Ore. This
Ore is found in small nodules of Iron Ore
diffused in irregular beds, four or five feet
tluckt. and apparently extending in a nearly
horizontal straturnaccross the dividing ridge
between the Brazos' and Colorado. It is
found in more places on the surfaces of the
low hilts, on spreading out over the tirraees

But the number of emigrants to the State
will not amount to one thousand during the
fall and winter, nor will the property they
bring to the State average more than two
thousand dollars to each-emigrant. It is al-
so true, that those who are emigrating to
the State consist of a superior slass in point
of intelligence to those who are moving
away, in all probability will make better
citizens^- But.tbe loss qf the greatquantity

- We cannot see why the Legislature does
not pass the bill authorizing the advertising

the example of other States ought to teach
the membqrs the necessity of such an ordi-
nance. Is it possible that we are to work
under the present system of robbery arid
plunder, for want of publicity, until another
session? We cannot believe it. We have
great faith in the conscientiousness and
ability of our law-makers, and trust this ses-
sion will not be allowed to close without
so necessary an act being passed.—■Hunts

Divers shrewd opinion, are ventured now^
a-days, that owing to the immense influx of
Hibernians, this country is to be taken by
the Irish, as Holland has been on one or
two occasions by the- Dutch. This i*all
moonshine. For every two Irishmaen who
land npon our shores, comes one Dutchman,
with phlegm enough to neutralize the "vim'
oi a whole county of Tipperary boys, and
so strongly, sleepily Protestant as to defy
the blandishments of a whole college of
Jesuits; for you might as well try to convert
Prof. Bo wen to liberal views as to make. a.

smacking of Catholicism.
Effect of Erie Railroad war

merchant of Erie, visited Buffalo on
business. A warrant was immediately sued
out and served upon him as one of those
who helped in the destruction of property in
Erie. He was held to bail in the sum of
$24,000, in default of which he was placed
in jail. Two other Erie peple were arrested
in Buffalo on the day following, and
committed, in default of $1,000 bail.

Air—'Coming throngh the Rye.*
If an engine ineet an engine
Coming round a curve.*
If they smash track train and tender,
What do they deserve?
Not a penny's paid to any,
So far as we\)hserve.
But all acquit the engineer,
When ' coming round a cutve.'
If an engine meet a steamer
' Coming thaough the draw,'
If they crush or drown the public
Need ire go to law?"
If the engineer was careless—
P'raps he's rather raw—
They don't discharge an honest fellow. %

If a steamer chace a steamer,
'Running np to tnpe,i . ...
If they buT6ted their pipes and boiler,
Where's the mighy crime?
Should a jury in a fury, t-
Make them pay one dime, 3-
Or send the officers prison, s"
.Running up to time? T
If they maim or kill a body,
Or a body's wife, ^ - .
Need a body sua a body,. -
? For baggage, limb or life?
jl you sue for damages,
For pay for what you lost,
You get a broken neck or leg,
And have to meet the cost.
