Mr.. Cri,tenden LEFT The Falmouth vas
in port awaiting the first payment of the
Mexican indemnity. The prevailing o.
pinion in Mexico was that the payment
would be effeciuated. |, is confidently
asserted that Gen. Waddy Thompson was
determined TO demand his passports and
leave the country in the event Of the non.
payment OF the frs, ins,almeni.
II was also currently asserted that San.
ia Ana would be invested with the dic,a.
torship Of Mexico by the Junta.
Sixty-two Texian PRISONERS were in
Mexico, among whom were Col. Fisher,
Geo. Green, George Van Ness and Thos.
Hatch, who were compel, TO work in
the streets, and exposed to every kind OF
treatment. Very little hope
OF their release from captivity was enter
tanned by their friends.
Tie accusation against President Hous.
ton, of sending a letter to Mexico, declar.
ing The expedition of Colon,ls Green aud
Fisher unauthorized and not emitted 10
the benefits OF the Mier capi,ulstioD, was
fully borne out by evidences obtained in
Mexico, and generally believed.

From The Charlottesville Advocate, cf the 9th.
ELECTION FOR CONGRESS IN THIS DIS
TRICT

From he Charlottesville Advocate, Of the 9th.
ELECTION FOR CONGRESS IN THIS DIS
TRlCT.
From the best nformatioE we can get
at the time we go to press, we suppose,
Mr.. Gilmer will get the return as the Rep-
rpsenta,ive Of this District in the mex,
Congress Of the Unned States. Ever
since the election, we have btea in doubt
as to the final result in this District. The
remote position f tie county Of Madison,
on, OF the way OF frequent mail commu-
nicaton, and the fac. Il at the polls were
kept open .hree days. occasloned great
delay IN hearing the final result OF The e.
lection there. Various and contradictory
have been the rumors as to The result,
which IS not known now We believe, with
narfect accuracy. We learn, however,
ina, letter was received in town last
nigh, from Madison which brought the
long looked for intelligence that the peo-
pie had stopped voting, and that the polls
were closed at last. II is now said that
the entire majority for Governor Gllm' r
there, is 40l. The Shprltfs will meet at
Charlottesville 10 Gay (after the issue OF
our paper however) to compare the polls,
and we shall then know ths whole truth.
! Meanwhile, assuming the above intelli-
gsnce to b. correct, and we suppose that II
is as reliable ss any thing else we have
heard, the ,sult will sand thus:
For Gllmer.--Majoiity in Madison, 40l
IN Greene, 57--In Orange, l6--ln
Amherst, "a. In all 536.
For Goggin.-Majrity in Bedford, 1856
In Albemarle, 60--In Nelson 10l. In
all SIT.
Making majority for Gilmer, OF IL.
A mighty result truly! for District
which was expected to give new con.
Vert Of the Democrats, majority of five
hundred votes.

John Tyler, and he was unanimously ac-

nomination. How grievously he has de.

whole country can testify. But retrlbu

MEXICO-THE TEXAN PRISONERS
We learn from an authentic source
that the lnhuman order Of the Mexican
Government TO decimate the Trxi1n iris.
oners, who rose upon their guard and at
tempted to escape at Salaio, YVES carried
into effect on the 95lh of March, AMI that
the following officers and soldi, rs were
shot to death
Capt. Wm. NJ. Easfand, Sergean, ].
N. McThompson, Privatcs E. D. Cooke,
formerly an editor a, Houston, Texas, ].
N. Torrry, Thomas l.. Jones, of Austin,
more recently of Houston, ]. l.. Shepp I'd
Henry Whaling, w. II. Cowan, c. Fl.
Roberts, E. E. Elz, ]. Tombul X. II.
Durham, X. w. Harris, M. C. VIM, P.
Maher. J. l.. Cash, and J N. Ogden.
This was, perhaps, the most imhumau
piece Of butchery that has ever been per.
petratei by Government protesting to
be civilized within the present century.
The prisoners who rose upon their guard
were not on parole, and had therefore an
undoubied right to use every means in
their power TO escape. IL the Govern
ment desired to put them in position
that would involve a forfeiture Of lie in
case of such an attempt, they ought to
have been permitted to 60 at large upon
parole of honor.
