NEw.YoRK, Jan. 3--Noon-We are favored
with the following interesting extract Of let
ter from Caracas, dated November 9th, three
days later than the advices by the Columbian:
"Gen PAEz marched from this place on Satur.
day evening, (the 25th) for Porto Cayello and
the general impression is, that blood will be
she'd. This city was declared under Martial
Law Yesterday, and it isreported 10 day, that
orders are issued for every man to turn out on
military duty Previous 10 the departure OF
General Pace, Mr.. Mendoza, the ln,endent OF
this department, was removed, and Mr.. Echez'
aria, appointed in his place.
From the above, and the last accounts from
Cumana, we have ample proof ofthe commence
ment Of a civil war in Venezuela, and from the
character of Paez, and the desperate situation
in which he is now placed, it is feared he may
be induced 10 commit the most violent acts
in such case, the American merchants are who'll
ly unprotected by their Government, and liable
to be plundered Of all their properly, which
must amount to very large sum. They ear
nestly hope our Government will no longer de-
lay to send an armed vessel to Laguayra.

Extract of letter the editor of the Boston Galaxy
dated WASHINGTON, Dec. 1876.
On Friday noon we took the steamboat for Bai-
timore. Mr.. Randolph was on board the steam
boat, and grea: crowd was assembled at the
slip to catch glimpse Of this singular man;
but few, however, were gratihrd with a sight oil
him, for he retreated 10 tine cabin as soon as
possible. MIR. Randolph seems in good health.
The descriptions we have had Of him are, In
some measure, carlo He is about FIVE
feet eleven inches in height, his limbs are long,
his oody short, his head small, his complexion
sallow, his hair brown, his eyes are grey, with
out any particular animation when he is quiet.
His walk is singular, like that OF the lords OF
the forest, with his fee, straight forward, with
out the slightest turning out Of the toes. He
kt pit profound silence on board excepting a
few words, he addressed to MIR. Livingston,
whom he appeared to know, and then his voice
was in an underlone. His dress was blue Goa
and pantaloons, with shoes and CATERS, a small
English hat with the retreatipg crown, light
colored surtout with large Cape, and yellow
silk handkerchief was tied around his neck in
careless manner, His countenance has not the
slightest marks of genius about it. His nose
is rather small, his chin little extended for
ward from line perpendicular with his mouth
aud the great muscles of the cheeks are shriv-
elled and wrinkleG. He retired to his birth ear
ly in the evening, and although directly agains,
his number long dialogue was held between
Jersey Schoolmaster and shrewd Quaker

Extract of a letter from Puerto Cabello, Nov. 26.
"At four o'clock on the morning OF the 2lss

place, and Guerra. the commandment OF the cas-
tie, were arrested by the officers Of the battalion
on duty here. Commodore 3ogueir was aD'
pointed governor for the time being, and the
officers and men have sworn to hold the place
subject only to the order Of General Bolivar.
On the 2ad instant, General Pedro Bresend
Mendez arrived here, and has been prevailed
on to remain and take the command. The cl-
vii authorities have approved Of what has been
done, and sent 10 inform General PAEz that
they will not recognise him as civil chief
Every PREPARATION is making for defence, tho
the general opinion is, that Pace will not have
sufficient force TO attack US, even II he wished
it. Such is the feeling on this subject, that
should not be surprised to hear Of Caracas d.
ing the same.
Colonel Caravena despatched two compa-
MES of the battalion de occidentes and few
cavalry against US. The cavalry were mad
enough to attempt 10 pass the barrier, and were
fired upon by the picquet. One Of their 9TH
GERS was dangerously wounded. The remain

MES of infantry passed over 10 the tower, and
entered shouting vivG BOLIVAR.
There is no doubt but that all the troops sent
against US will do the same.
The proclamation made by Paez, after the
last meeting at the San Francisco, was the pri-
mary cause Of this movement.

main so until this affair is finally settled"
Letters received at New York Of the same

POETRY.

The following SERENkDE, from "Happines
Tale for the grave and the gay" is very beau
tiful:
oh, wake, love, wake, can such an hour
Be lent alone to slunber's powers
Oh, no! twas made
For the moonlight walks, where lovers meet,
And the silver songs, and the music sweet,
OF their serenade.
And rise. love, rise, the Queen Of Night
Upbraids thy rest, for her smiles are bright
On thy easement now;
Aud the fairest forms of love and bliss
Are awake, and abroad in night like this
Then, where art thoul
o, quit. love, quit those visions blest,
That hover around thy couch OF rest,
From realms above;
Forget, IL thou canst the halcyon theme,
And wake to as holy, as happy dream
The dream Of love.
And bark, love, bark to yon melody faint,
Ills the song of the Nightingale pouring her plant
To the starry ray;
Blu, the only orbs that can cheer my night,
And bless nv song with tseir looks of light
Oh, where are they!
And list, love, list, mid the silence around,
Thou shalt hear beside, the murmur'd sound
of thy lover's,hyi
As he sings, that the earth and the skies1e dim.
And the beauty of night hath no beauty for him,
While thou away.
~
asiusszasssaaas,a's
For thy true loves sake,
There is nought to harm thee. around or on high,
The earth Is tranquil, and so is the sky
Then wake, love, wake.
She hears, she wakes; from her window far,
The we'll known sound Of her lovers guitar
Hath caught her ear,
And see at her easement she takes her stand,
And waving slow her lily hand.
She watts kiss TO her cavalier.
