HORRtD AFFAIR.-The Boston Daily Ad.
vertiser finds in some foreign paper an &C.
count of a frightful scene which took place
recently on board an Austrian steamer, the
Empress, on its way from Trebizond TO
Constantinople. This vessel took in passen-
gers at Sinopa, and, among others, two der
wishes from Candahar, in Afghanistan, who
had been expelled from Trebizond and SAM
soma. A few hours after the ship had put 10
sea, the two dervishes, having first repeated
devoully their prayers before the whole ships
company. rose up with sudden fury. One
drew out a pistol, and the other double.
edged sharp dagger or dirk DIRK from his girdle,
and they both then fell upon the passengers
with the most determined purpose of MUIR
der. The pistol was fired at a young Greek,
who died Of the wound he received. The
murder, then drawing his large knife, attack
ed an Armenian with It, and actually ripped
up his belly, killing him on the spot. The
next victims were the restaurateur Of the YES
sci and his waiter, who received several Sc
we're wounds from the dagger of the other as
sassin. The agent Of the steamer, hearing
some scufle, went forward to inquire the
meaning Of il, when he and sailor who ac-
companied him were assailed by the furious
ruhians, and dangerously wounded the
agent without hope Of recovery. All this
passed in a few seconds of time.
Nobody on board was armed, and the
scene Of terror and confusion among the
crew and the passengers surpassed all de-
scriplion. The captain was wiring in the
cabin when the alarm reached him. He
showed great presence of mind. He rocol.
lected that on one Of the the paddle boxes
there was a musks, with q bayonet. lie
sprang at once upon the paddls-box, de,ach.
ed the bayonet from ,hs gun, and with this
weapon fell upon the most furious ofthe der
wishes. Tie pierced him through the neck
and he fell dead upon the deck. Al the same
time, one of the ships engineers dashed ou'
the brains of the other BY beating him about
tho head with bucket. The struggle for q
few minutes between the two fiends and
their assailsnis, was terrible. Five. includ
ing the dervisbes, were killed in this frantic

THE ANNEXATION OF TExAs.-The
Washington Union of Monday evening con-
tains extracts from the dispatches of Major
Donelsen, our Charge in Texas, announcing
the ratification by the Convention of the
people of that country of the Annexation
resolutions Of our Congress. These des>
patches were brought direct from Austin, by
Gen. Besancon.
We understand that the Secretary of War Of Texas
IS now upon the frontier, for the purpose of ing
new treaty with the Indians. The frontier people do
not apprehended an ncurson from The Mexican
troops. War from that quarter is looked upon as
CONTINGENT upon the result Of the Presidential election
IN that country.
No positive information seemsio have been recent
ly received at Austin, of the position of the Mexican
troops. Our Charge was looking for accounts, by
an express from the frontier but it is believed that
lew or no American troops had crossed the Rio
Grande. 1t was said that General Arsia had not
crossed the river with his force and probably did
not mean TO make the attempt A small corps Of
Texan Rangers were operating IN the country be-
tween Austin and the western frontier.

the barracks, and at the lower cotton press, are
making preparations for their visit TO Texas with
