The u. g. brig Drainbfldge'' Arrived hare
yesterday evening, after a passage OF Ten oayr
from Vera Cruz, having on board the Hon. w au.
dy Thompson, our minister to Mexico, and thirty
one Texan prisoners, who were released IRON
captivity by his kind interference.
We are indebted for the following items of in
telligcnce to gentleman who came passenger
in her. - n
General Santa Anna was rusticating at his ha-
cenda "lncero,'' about three leagues below ia
lappa. Don Valentin Canalizo was still acting as
President ad interim in the city Of Mexico. The
principal portion of the troops of the country,
which were withdrawn from the capital by order
OF Santa Anna at the time of the election, in or
der that the citizens and members of Congress
might exercise their right of suffrage without
being overawed by large military force, were
for the present stationed at the most available
points in the vicinity of the Presidents as to be
ready at few hours notice to quel any popular
outbreaks against the administration Between
5000 and 10000 were stationed at Jalappa, about
$500 at Vera Cruz, and 1000 at Incero, as his
body guard.
The San Antonio prisoners which arrived by
the :" cambridge" were liberated by Santa Anna
at the urgent solicitation Of Gen. Thompson, and
also as mark of respect to that gentleman upon
his departure from that country.
About 100 of the Mier prisoners were still con-
most deplorable. Eight more were in the Castle
of San Juan de Uoa.
The night after the liberation of the San An
tonic prisoners seventeen made their escape by
undermining the walls On the following day
three of them were recaptured. Owing to that
circumstance Santa Anna Addressed a letter to
an English gentleman residing at Zallapa, stating
that it had been his intention to have liberated all
of the Texan prisoners on the birthday of his
wife, the Goth Of this month, had not this circum-
stance occurred.
AT the time the cambridge sailed the English
frigate Peak was the only foreign man-ofwar
lying at SACRIFICES. The British steamer Tweed
was lying in port, to sail in a Jew days for Ha-
wanna.
The two Mexican steamers, the Montezuma
and the Guadalupe, were moored under the
walls of the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa.
The question of the annexation of Texas to the
United States excited the wrath of the press,
which was responded to by The people. Violent
articles have been published in the Mexican
journals on that subject.-N. 0. Bee, April ID.

The Fox AND THE Coon GRAND CONTEST !!
A grand contest between little red For, and
a real live Coon, the representatives of Van Bu-
rem and Clay, will be had at the saloon of the
Town Hail., THIS EVENING, Saturday, March
Odd, at s ID clock. The friends of the For Of
Undertook, and also the adhsrents of "taat same
old Coon" of Kentucky, are invited to attend,
and see that "tair Play" is shown to their res
pectiye favorites. Admtance IL l-2 cents.
Pottsville, March 23d, 1874.
"This contest" says the Journal, "grew out of
a dispute about the representation of Coon with
the Fox down. On the evening in question,
large number assembled at the Hall to witness
the exhibition. The Coon was only about six
months old, and rather small. The Fox was an
old un, nearly twice the size of his Coonsbip, and
looked quite as sly and cunning as Matty himself
The preparations were all made---bets ran high
-Cooney walked deliberately into Foreu, and
hck'd him in t,oo minutes !-Foxey ran and en-
sconced himself in a bucket-Cooney followed,
sprung upon the bucket placed his paw in pc
culiar position-andIa shout lin favor of the
Coon of Kentucky" fairly rent the Hall. Is
not the result of this battle omnous of the grand
contest next fall -

EDffok's CORRESPONDENTS
FAIRFAX County, Va, April IS, 1s44.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA, April lJ, 1S44
There appears in the Globe of this morning an
extract of letter dated Fairfax c. H., Va, A.
Prii' 1874, protesting to gives an account of what
It terms a Wing Meeting at that place. The
letter is evidently the production of one Of those
low party hacks, who are ever found the willing
instruments to propagate falsehood and SANDER.
In this letter the creature but labored in his vo-
cation, as shall now proceed to show. The let.
ter states truly that the meeting had been herald
ed, &c. in the Alexandra Gazette, but omts to
state that the meeting of the other party had also
been announced some days in the same paper
1t proceeds to state that Mr.. William Smith and
Mr.. Henry Bedinger happened TO arrive on the
ground. As to Mr.. Bedlnger, this may be true,
but as to Mr. Smith, it is well known that he had
been written to some time previous to the meet
Jug, and ne came there with trunk loaded with
books and documents. Such was his accidental
appearance. The writer then proceeds to ex-
press his opinion of the discussion, and, contrary
to the general opinion, would claim victory. 1t
Is generally true in these matters, :" de gustibuS
non disputandum !" but, upon this occasion, the
speech OF Mr.. Summers was OF so high an order,
both in argument and eloquence, whilst those Of
Smith, Cobb, and Chapman, were SO destitute Of
all pretension to these qualities, that cannot
suppose eUen the writer in the Globe to be so stu
pd as not to have perceived it. have observed
shdt tnc WTllcTS lTOtIl tutSe pdIls, III the
never fail to aim their base attacks at the estima-
BILE and talented editor of the Alexandra Gazette.
Destitute of either the ability or character to
tend with him openly, they seek to wound him by
anonymous communications. 1t is known, too,
that they are persons who openly profess for him
great friendship, and who would fawn on and fiat
ter him, if his good sense and judgment did not
repel their insidious attempts The statement
that Mr.. Snowden took the remark of Mr.. Chap
man SO much to heart, and bolted like shot out
of hot shovel, is pronounced utterly untrue. He
did not even hear the remark, nor did he leave
the Court House for some time AFTER nor was
there any thing in the remark that would have
given either him or his friends the least pain.
Mr. Bedinger was, in fuency and manner, the
best speaker on the Locofoco side but his speech
was the merest clap-trap ever listened to, and
proved that he is either profoundly ignorant of
the subjects he attempts to speak upon, or that
he calculates largely upon the extreme ignorance
of the people. ibis could show, had space to
analyse, not his argument for of that he is inca
pable, but his speech.
In conclusion, will say, that no doubt is en-
tertained of the election of our Wing candidate.

FROM FRANCE.

BY the ST. Nicholas Captain Pell, which ar
rived on Thursday evening from Havre de Grace,
we have letters and papers from France to the
18th ult. The contents are not of much impor-
lance.
The Committee on the Budget was occupied
with discussions on the expedcncy of reducing
the 5 per cent. stocks. The Tahiti affair contn-
ued still to afford subject of attack to tho oppo-
siton. In the Chamber of Deputies on the 10th,
debate took place as to the mode of voting in
the Chamber-whetber par assis ct leue, or the
former method of voting by ballot.
A discussion was shortly expected in the Cham
Der of Deputies on the subject of the secret SER
vice fund. The opposition will of course en-
deavor to reduce the amount, in order to annoy
ministers
On his deathbed Gen. Bertrand bequeathed to
the city of Lyons, copy of the campaigns in Ita-
ly, written by the Emperor Napoleon also the
cross of the order of the Iron Grown, worn by the
Emperor, and an eagle of silver.
The Madrid journals of the 18th state that the
Spanish government intend to send an expedition
OF twelve thousand men under the command of
General Prm, against the Emperor of Moroc-
co, but there was very little faith placed in the
rumor.
The Barcelona journals describe the enthusi-
asn with which Queen Christina has been re-
ceived in that city.
Accounts from Portugal state that the Count
de Bomim still held out with the insurgent troops
at Almeida, but was hemmed in on all sides by
the Queens forces, supported by Spanish troops.
The rebels had no other alternative but 10 sur
render or retreat into Spain, where they would
be Immediately disarmcd
Berlin letters state that the negotiations with
the King OF Hanover, the subject of the customs
duties, had been settled
M. Haber, the survivor in the fatal duel fought
al frankfort some months since, has been impris-
oned for six months.
Letters from Stockholm state that the king of
Sweden lies without hope of recovery.

MR.. CLAY AT THE NORTH.

The following incident will show the wing
feeling at the North:
A merchant from the Old North, the other day
in New York. had box for Gov. Morehead in
his charge which he had brought to the wharf to
be put on board the vessel, just about to set sail
for Petersburg. The vessel was filled and cram
med, and the captain, who was locofoco, had
declined to take any more goods on board. The
merchant directed the box to Gov Morehead's
address, hoping thereby, that the captain would
take it; and directed the porter who took it to
the vessel to get it on board at all hazards. The
porter presented the box for reception. The cap
tain declined receiving it, for want of room. The
porter would not be put off; he urged the captain
to receive it; said it was for one of the big men
of the country; that it contained Clay hat for
Gov. Morehead and that he wanted it by the
time Mr. Clay reached Raleigh; and it must go
by that vessel. The captain was memorable, for
want of room. A sailor hearing the conversa-
ton, stepped up and said "Captain, that box
can have my berth its for Gov. Morehead, as
good wing as ever ffuttered, and he goes for old
Harry Clay it takes my berth, and sleep on it )"
and doffng his tar hat, and swinging it around
high in the air he sung out at the top OF his voice,
"Huzza for Governor Morehead and Clay! Huzza
for Governor More" He hadn't more than
got through hall the sentence, before the electric
spark reached those on the wharf; and the shout
was selzed and returned along the wharf to
great distance !" Huzza for Morehead and Clay !"
The name seemed to be electricity itself. This
spontaneous burst shows that they know who is
the real friend of American commerce and Amer
lean seamen.
1t is useless to say, after this demonstration,
the box went aboard and took the sailors berth !;
and by the time the merchant reached City Point,
the vessel was there; and this noble fellow emp
tied his berth by delivering the box to the mer-
chant and with his compliments to Gov. More
head.-Raleigh (N CO. Star.
