MEXICO.

wrote yesterday in haste after the de.
parture of the mail, but fearing that you
will not receive my letter, and having since
received my correspondence from Tampi-
CO, write again to-day, Sunday, giving
you the following interesting news on which
you may rely.
TAMPIco, March 4th, 1887.
At last Santa Anna is amongst US. He
arrived at Vera Cruz on the Goth ult. in an
American frigate, and was received by the
civil authorities with all the honors due to
the rank of General, but no more. How.
ever, he was enthusiastically welcomed by,
and received the servile embraces of his nu-
merous friends and partisans, who, in spite
of the lukewarmness of the partsans of the
present administration, hocked to his resi-
dence and escorted him to his country seat
of Manga de Clava. The principal officers
of government showed remarkable COOL
ness TO the prisoner of Texas. During his
short stay at Vera Cruz, his conduct was
very reserved, and he seemed to be laboring
nnder fear or sickness.-Previously to his
leaving Vera Cruz, he dispatched an ex.
press to the capital, who it is stated, was
the bearer of we'll written manifesto, in
which he endeavors to justify his conduct
since he left the city of Mexico for the ar.
my, and exposes plainly all the intrigues
and calumnies of his enemies during his
captivity, and his visit to Washington. AS
particular favor he distributed three or four
copies of this manifesto to his friends but
as yet none have reached Tampico. This
document is, no doubt, the arant courier of
his Interior plans, which will be, as usual,
digested at Manga de Clavo, and experience
has demonstrated that Santa Anna knows
as well how to play with his tickle country
men, as he does to fight cocks, of which he
was so fond. A little more time, and we
snail hear from the celebrated Manga de
Clava.
The present administration has been
gaining ground, so much, that they are on
the point of thanking the infamous Tornel
for his distinguished services, especially in
the financial branch Of his ministry. He
will be supresededby staunch Bustamen.
tino. The federal, or liberal party, is
much divided, without resources or leaders,
discouraged with so many defeats, in
short, broken down. The Santa Armies
are every where at work, confident OF
success but it must be acknowledged
that their leader has lost much of his for
mer popularity, as also the support of the
clergy, and of a great portion of the army
in activity and from the preparatory mea-
sures for the presidential election, it is clear
that the aristocratic party is determined to
get rid of him.

Chicago, March %.

We learn from a gentleman, JAMES
KINzIE, Esq. of this city, who has just as
cended the Illinois river, that a most mel
ancholy occurrence took place on Saturday
the 18th inst. at about five miles from its
mouth, where, through the obstinacy Of the
captains oftwo steamboats,, one ofther boats
was sunk, the lives of all the deck passen-
gers, amounting to more than twenty, lost,
and the freight and baggage entirely des.
troyed.
The captain of the Wisconsin, which
was then ascending the river, had repeatedly
stated that If he should meet the 1sskil,oa,
and her captain would not give them clear
channel, he should run her down.-This,
it seemed, provoked the captain of the 9th.
er boat, and he became as obstinately de.
termined not to turn out of his course. Both
boats met at about five o'clock in the morn.
ing, at a time when all the passengers were
in bed, and steered directly for each other
till within distance of only a few rods,
when the captain of the Tiskilwa endeavor-
ed, but too late, to avoid the conclusion !;
and turning a little out of the direct course,
thus gave q fair broadside to the ascending
boat, which took her Just behind the wheel,
and she sunk in less than three minutes af.
ter she was struck. The first notice of :heir
extreme danger which the cabin passengers
received, was the screams of those below
who were drowning; and without even
time to put on their clothes, they merely es-
capped by jumping through the windows OF
the cabin, which, fortunately for them, had
been completely separated from the sinking
boat by the shock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carrot, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pomeroy, of this city, were among the cabin
passengers, and were saved.
The captain of the Wisconsin is stated
to have acted even to the ladies', in most
brutal manner, having put them ashore bare.

any habitation, and with nothing but their

were even worse treated, as he endeavored
to prevent their getting on board the Wis.

A large sum Of money belonging to one o.
the ladies' named had been recovered subse.

UNION OF THE CHOCTAW AND CHICK
ASAW NATIONS OF INDIANS.

ASAW NATIONS OF INDIANS.
Extract of letter to the editor Of the
Arkansas Gazette, from a gentleman
in the Choctaw Nation, dated Goth Jan.
"Capt. Armstrong has succeeded in hav-
ing an agreement entered into, between
the Chickasaw delegation and the Choc-
taws, whereby the former nation is al
lowed home in the country of their old al
lies and neighbors, for which they pay $780,
OOO.)
"The Chickasaws are to form one dis.
trio. of the Choctaw nation, and to ENJOY
equal rights with the Choctaws. They will
occupy the country bordering on the Ca.
nadan--a fine stock raising country-rich
land and good water. So you may expect
another emigration next spring. The Chick
asaws will remove themselves, and intend to
wait until the Arkansas is up, when they
will embark upon boats with their fur
niture and baggage, and run up to the
Choctaw country. They will not, therefore,
be nuisance and annoyance to the people OF
your state.
"Apothlohola has demanded that all white
men, including those who are lntermarried
with his people, be expelled from the Creek

steamboat disaster on the Illinois river, from the
Sangamo Journal, acquitting the captain of the
Wisconsin of all blame, and agreed to by thirty

on the contrary, the Alton Spectator gives an uc-

better in business in which they had every
thing to learn. The fascinating charms OF
fashion and show, the os:entatious pride OF
wealth, and the alluring smiles Of office, are
as bad as were the syrens Of Calypso, to
bcguile men from the paths of true happ'-
ness. The moderate but certain gains
which are the reward of industry and fru-
gality, are the most abiding in their nature,
and most benign in their influence. 1t is
the mild early and later rains which induce
fertility, and cover the earth with fruitful
ness; while the tempest and its floods cause
waste and desolation. The mushroom
grows up in night, and withers in day.
The farmer should be the last to be dis
satisfied with bis condition. Of all classes
he is the most independent. He produces
within himself more of the necessarles and
comforts of life than any other class. If
he does not find the elements of happiness
on the farm, his search for them elsewhere,
I fear, will be in vain. But he must not
forge, that it is the province of the mind TO
arrange and combine these clements; and
that it becomes qualified to perform this
office, in proportion as it is enlightened and
cultivated. The mind, like garden, will
weld the most grateful fruits when nurured
with care; and few have more opportunities,
or arc better requiied for their labors, in cu'-
tivating both, than him who strives by the
plough.-Cuhirator.

Washington fixed his eyes upon the
speaker with mixture of surprise and an-
dignation, while he uttered this imPertInent
and impious speech!-and then looked
around TO see in what manner it affected
others. They did not leave him moment
to doubt-no one deigned TO reply or take
the smallest notice of the speaker,-but the
motion for appointing was instantly second
ed and carried whether under the silent
dsapprobation of Mr.. -, or his solitary
negative, do not recollect. The motion
for an adjournment was then put, and car
ried unanimously and the convention ad-
journed accordingly.
"The three days of recess were spent IN
the manner advised by DR.. Franklin; the
opposite parties mixed with each other, and
a free and frank interchange of sentiments
took place. On the fourth day we assem-
bled again and if great additional light had
not been thrown on the subect, every un-
friendly feeling had been expelled; and a
spirit of cancellation had been cultivated,
which promised, at least, calm and dis
passionate reconsideration of the subject.
GAS soon as the chaplain had closed his
prayer, and the minutes Of the last sitting
were read, all eyes were turned to the Doc
tor. He rose, and in a few words stated,
that during the recess he had listened at
tcntively to all the arguments, pro and con,
which had been urged by both sides of the
house that he had himself said much, and
thought more on the subject; he saw diff.
cultes and objections which might be urged
by individual States against every scheme
which had been proposed; and he was now
morethan ever convinced thatthe constitution
which they were about to form, in order to
be Just and equal. must be founded on the
basis of compromise and mutual concess-
ion. With such views and feelings, he
would move a reconsideration of the vote
last taken, on the organization of the senate.
The motion was seconded, the vote carried,
the former vote rescnded, and by sue.
ccssful motion and resolution, the senate
was organized on the present plan"
