Later from MexicO.

Tampico dates to the 3lst ult. have been re-
ceived at New Orleans. The efforts of the
Federalists to capture Tampico, it appears, has
thus failed. Several of the leaders have been
captured, and are now In prison awaiting their
trial.
A late number of the Dario del Gobierno,
frankly acknowledges the inability of the Mex
can Government at present 20 raise funds for
another campaign against Texas. But it still
clings 10 the hope that the future has better for
tune in store for the Mexicans-that after the
Cumanche Indians are extirpated, and the ma
tional Golfers replenished, their banner will float
proudly on the banks of the Sabine! 1t winds
up, however, by stating that when every thing
is taken into consideration, the Texans are
not the demons some have represented them to
be-that they always respected their own Co
vernment, and never stirred up fratricldal war
We regret 10 learn that one of the Yucatan
revenue schrs the Ocean, was lately wrecked
near Vera Cruz. Five of the bodies of the un-
fortunate crew were washed ashore OH Goaza-
coalcos. The vessel is total loss.
The Desengano, of Tampico, states that the
Prefect of the department and the military COM
nandant are about to have road made between
that city and the Bar 1t is expected the COM
merce of Tampico will be greatly benefited by
it.
During the month of March, two considera-
BILE fires occurred in Tampico, which caused
the destruction Of good deal of property, as
there were no fire engines in the city.
We notice that the Bulletin is used without
gloves in several numbers of the Diario del
Gobierno, because it maintains that the cause
of Texas is the cause of humanity and civiliza-
ton. We assure our worthy cOnfrere that we
act according to the dictates of our conscience.
The hints about being mercenary, are entirely
out of place.

Curry the Forger.

This man, who obtained some 500 from
the Bank of Ithica by means of forgery and
who has been the subject of much corresPOn-
dence between Gov. Seward and Gov. Gilmer,
of Virginia, passed through town to-day, loaded
with irons, on his way TO lthica. He was in
custody of Mr.. John A. Dix, of that place, who
was deputed by Gov. Seward to obtain him of
the acting Governor of Virginia, who has sur
rendered him without restriction of any kind.
The prisoner is "fne, gay, bold faced villain"
apparently accustomed 10 his calling, with black
eyes and profusion of whiskers Some S2,-

AProposition worth Considering

To induce persons to act as agents for pro-
curing subscribers TO the RIFLE we submit the
following proposition.
For S35 we will send one hundred copies TO
not more than ten addresses.
For SIS forty copies to not more than four.
For SIS twelve copies to one address.
This will afford over twenty-five per cent 10
agents for their trouble and as every one can
procure one hundred or more subscribers, IN
their own neigh6orhood, he will be doing fair
business in these hard times And one to
make it a business for a month could procure
two or three thousand at least, as no body will
refuse to pay tffty cents for paper for six
months during so exciting campaign as the
approaching one will undoubtedly be. BY
some unaccountable error, it is stated in our
prospectus that we will send ttiy copies to one
address for Sl5-it should have been forty
The first would not pay the expenses with ten
| thousand subscribers Address.

Another Case of swindIing.

We Just Barn that some time last week, the
Cashier of the Bank of America received let
ter from the New Orleans Bank, enclosing the
half of certificate for 900 Mexican dollars,
which he was to deliver to a Mr.. Britton, on
presentation of the other half, and recommend
ing Mr. B. to Mr.. Thompson's consideration as
an English gentleman of fortune, who had de-
posted the money with the New Orleans Bank.
Mr. Britton appeared on Thursday and received
the part of the certificate, whichhe took TO Jacob
Little & Co.'S, who cashed it for him by check
on the Union Bank which was paid in 1000 dol
lar notes At late hour In the day another
person, evidently an accomplice, came TO Mr..
Little to buy sovereigns, which he paid for in
notes of the Union Bank
The next day the steamer for England sailed.
There seems to be no doubt that this is but a
part of the plan by which the Banks have been
swindled
Mr. Little has offered $4,000 reward for the
recovery of the money To show the GOODNESS
of the william, when he presented himself at
the Union Bank, the check being drawn to his
order, payment was refused on the ground that
Mr.. Britton was stranger.
He Immediately returned TO Mr.. Little, and
asked him to accompany him for the purpose
of satisfying the Bank. Mr.. Little not being
able TO go, the Cashier of the Bank of America
went with him, and the money was accordingly
paid

Hon. JOhn Banks.

We observe that few of the Porter editors,
for want of something else to say, are complain
ing that Judge Banks has not resigned the Ju-
dicial situation which he now occupies, with so
much honor to himself and advantage to the
public In order TO ease the minds of these
gentlemen, we may as well inform them, that
ifthe Judge consults the wishes of all his friends
on this subject, he will not resign No Judge
ever gave greater satisfaction to the people of
the district, nor do they wish TO dispense with
his services, because the Harrison party of the
State have nominated him as their candidate
for Governor 1t would doubtless be very
pleasant thing for the present Executive TO fill
the office at once, but although j. Madison Por-
ter is very clever fellow, sharp politician,
and writes good lecture, still, we have no
idea that the people of this county have any
particular desire that he should be their Judge.
The fact is, the Hon. John Banks, was nom
mated by spontaneous movement of the peo-
ple;-personally he has taken no part IN the
business, nor does it fall within his sphere of
duty, or intention, to do so in future. AS may
be easily conceived, he finds sufficient employ
ment in attending to the business of the Courts
of one of the largest Judicial Districts in the
State He has no Mayors Court, nor District
Court, to tighten his duties, but attends to the
civil and criminal business, great and SMALL of
three populous counties; and his station is GER
tainly no sinecure Instead of those political
labors, which some persons seem 10 think must
necessarily occupy the time of a candidate for
Governor, the visitor of Judge Banks will find
him engaged with his law books, busy in wri-
ting out charges, and in short, assiduously dis
charging the responsible duties which devolVe
upon him. And this man we are told, should re-
sign, and turn politician!
1t has become the order of the day for euery
candidate, to be questioned on every subject, by
euery person who may take fancy that way.
Our present Governor, during the last guberna-
torial campaign, made no reply TO such inter-
rogatories, leaving his political course, (such as
il was) 10 speak for itself. Without however,
referring TO Porter, we may say in regard to
Judge Banks, that the position which he occu-
pies, will effectually prevent him from entering
the field, with that kind of canvassing for votes,
which may be inferred from general political
correspondence His public life, is before the
people, no occasion has he been afraid to
open his mouth and let his sentiments be known.
The people in the East the West, and the mid
die portion Of the State know him, the people
have nominated him, and the people Will elect
him.-Readtng Journal.

General Harrison in his last outdoor exer
else was engaged in assisting the gardener in
adjusting some grape vines. The gardener re-
marked that there would be but little use in trail
ling the vines, so far as any fruit was concerned,
as the boys would come there on Sunday, while
the family was at church, and steal all the
grapes; aud suggested TO the General as a
guard against such loss, that he should pur-
chase an active watch dog. Better said the
General employ Sabbath school teacher; a
dog may take Of the grapes, but a good Sabbath
school teacher will take care of the grapes and

Poets may generally be ranked in this class,
and so fashionable has it become among
them that many seem to consider this trait
OF character essential to constitute poet.
And it's notorious fact, that the noble art
OF poesy has become corrupted to such an
extent, that It's votaries are often the hang
ers-on of society, down at the heel, down
in the purse, and out at elbows. There is
nothing that more distinguishes noble

stoical Indifference, but with christian and
manly fortitude; and if one is seeking the
commiseration of his fellow men, there is
no surer way TO gain it,than 10 seem at least
to bear reverses with frmness.
This consideration should also teach TO
be careful not to cherish hopes which we
are conscious must sooner or later be dis
appointed. We may with justice look with
contempt upon man who strains most to
cheat himself, and to believe that real which
he knows full we'll is but fancy. Is he not
acting childish part? Has not life woes
enough without creating more2 But there
are those who indulge themselves in this
species of day dreaming, and what is worse
