By the arrival at New Orleans of the

Santa Anna still remained prisoner at
the Castle of Petroe-the same cold, drea-
nv and dismal place in which he 80 long
held the unfortunate Texans in captivity.
1t is stated that the Grand Jury appointed
totry the fallen tyrant, was furious against
him, while the present Executive of Next
co manifested a feelieg of clemency and
at the same time of regret that he did not
escape out of the country, ard thus save
the government further trouble. A letter
,da,ed Vera Cruz, Jan. 3lst, expresses the
belief that .he life Of the tyrant would not
be taken. His young wife was IN prison
with him, as was also an o'd friend OF his,
Senior Lazaro Villamil.
Among the passengers by the lay was
Senior Aatonio Haro, Snnta Aana's former
Minister of Finance, who had made out to
10 reach the coast in safety from Mesco.
Santa Anna has sent, from perote, anew
communication to the Chambers, request

TuE AMENDE HONORABLE.

Mn, EAsrMAN:--I wish to say, through
vour columns, that, till within few hours,
/ had never, to my recollection, seen or
heard the word "stringency;" and being
confident it was not used by WEBSTER,
the father by adopting tarOr of all the
new-concd words of his day, suspected
its use was improper, when introduced in
a resolution, in the late Convention, by
whom know not. But, | owe it to the
author or authors to say, that find the
word "stringency," in The Ncw World,
q publication whose literary character
leads me to presume the word is current
somewhere,
Whether it be the best word in the case
above named or not, it is an easier word
than ashingcncy, and may be made to
take its place, as meIioratc has, the place
of amcHorate, with some good authors
Here is the article TO which | allude--
The science of animal magnetism is
fast growing in public favor, Since DIR
Bodinier's successful experiment, and
during the present stringcncy in the mon
ey market, VIC understand he has been
ovcrrun with applications to magnetic
notes of hand, to prevent their running
to maturity. Tenants also show fever
ish anxiety at this season of the year to
learn the art, that they may put their
landlords into a magnetic sleep, and 'rill
them to sign receipt in full, In view
of the conflicting interests to be affected
by these different matters, it is said the
DR. has determined to remain neuter, and
notes will run to maturity, and rents must
be paid as heretofore.
Those readers whose pOchetS sympathlse
with mlne,-if there be any such-wlIl
find no difficulty in getting at the reo'
meaning ofthe new word, -sI'1"gc"cy, as
here used. IL. D.

A YER MONT JUDGE.

The author of "Letters from Land
scape Painter" in notice OF Darlington,
VT says
II would mention, in this connection
Judge Mech, the farmer, who resides
Just without the town; and | would remark,
that his mortal part is six feet and half
high, and weight nearly four hundred
pounds, and perfect counterpart in body
as well a mind Of the immortal Jack Fal-
staff. lie is the proprietor of the largest
grazing farm in New England, which con-
tains three Thousand acres, and at the pres
ent moment gives food to nearly four thou
sand sheep. The Judge is one Of the
most hospitable of men, and having spent
portion of his life as a trapper III the
wilderness, and another as member of
Congress, there is no end to his fund Of
stories, which he tells with an admirable
grace. One concerning himself, is to the
following effect. Once on time, when
young, poor, and somewhat idle in bis hab-
its, he CHANGED to stop at country store
where he was known, for the purpose of
purchasing a handkerchief, which the shop
keeper refused to let him have on credit.
The youth was so exasperated, that he
swore he would one day purchase the
whole property Of the man, and 1t is SIN
guIlr fact, that the identical store, aud all
the possessions of that man are now moor
poratcd IN the immense estate Of Judge
Mech. A similar story is told of Mr. Astor
(who dealt in lurs on Lake ChampIain
with the judge and the Astor House, so
that it would actually seem as if some
people are born to be rich. And what is
the strangcst thing of all, Mr. Mech is a
great trout fisherman and of course man
of genius. About a month ago he caught
one thousand in three days, which | can
readily believe, but | cannot vouch for the
truth of the statement heard, that he ate
two hundred and forty of The little fellows
at one meal.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO
CAPTURE Of Santa Inna,

By the arrival of the schr Waier-Witch,
at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, whence
she sailed on the ODD ult. the Bulletin
learns the capture of OF Santa Anna, which
took place on the 18th, at Jico, near Ja-
lapa, whilst he was endeavorlng to reach
the coast in disguise, accompanied by four
of his officers. He is confined at present
in the same castle of Perote, from which
the Texan prisoners have not long since
been liberated, and well guarded by some
5000 soldiers. 1t is proposed to remove
him to the Capital in few days, where
he will have to answer to the country,and be-
fore the chamber deputies, Of for his past
tyranny and cruelty, aad, doubtless, fom
the excited state of public feeling against
him, he will expiatc his conduct by an
ignomlneous DEATH
Santa Anna had written to the President
General Herrera, on the 10Th ult, from
this camp near Pucbla, soliciting passports
for Senior lIaroy Tamarlz and Generals
CorlZar and Mendoza, late OF his suite.
lie also begs passports for himself, that he
may leave the country, and, as he says,
seek abroad home where ! might end
my last days" He states that he has al
ready given up the command of his army
to Gen Morales, who wond proclaim the
constitutional Government.
In letter from the captive eX-President
to the Governor of the department of Vera
Cruz. dated Jalapa, 18th ult, he complains
most bitterly of the treatment Of his guards
and the popuIace lie says his habta-
ton presents the appearance OF guard
room, with a sentinel constantly by his bed
he cannot sIeeo-the officials will permit
none of his friends to have any inter
coutse with him, and in fact, his con3i-
ton is vastly more rude and degrading
than whilst he remained prisoner in the
hands of the Texans. His entry into ia
laoa resembed trumphal procession,
conducting him as conquered foe to
his country. "Indeed," he continues, 81
would prefer death to such insults-whIch
are neither noble nor decent"
1t is stated that Santa Anna had SlO0,-
900 in gold at his residence ,Ensero, which
was to have been forwarded TO him, but it
has fallen into the hands of the Govern
ment of the department Of Vera Cruz, who
propose to employ it in remnnero,lns the
inhabitants OF that place for the los
ses sustained by them during Santa
Annals occupation.
Captain D. Jose Santa Anna, the eldest
son OF the fallen President, was arrested
near Jalapa, the morning af the 10th.
Sonora Santa Anna had paid her hns-
band a visit in camp, accompanied by her
brother, few days before his flight She
alone is faithful to the tyrant.
Gen Arista, the instrument of Santa An
ma in the murders at Tabasco, has pub-
lished a manifesto agalns, his fallen leader
and declares that although they now all
unite against him, they must not lose sight
of Texas.

JEFFERSON AND ADAMs.-Perhaps there
is not, among all the productions of Mr.

specimen of his style, than the following
letter. 1t was addressed 10 John Adams,
on the death of his accomplished wife,
the mother of John quincy Adams:
MONTICELLO, Nov. 10, 1918,
The pubic papers, my dear friend, an
nounce the fatal event OF which your let
ter of October the Goth had given me
ominous foreboding. Tried myself in the
school of ailliction, by the loss Of every
form of connection which can rive the hui
man heart, know well, and feel what
you have lost, what you are suffering,
and have yet to endure. The same trials
have taught me that for ills so immeasura-
bic, time and silence are the onI y medi-
cine. will not, therefore, by useless
coincidence open aircsh the s!uices Of
your grief, nor, minsling sincerely my
tears with yours, will say word where
words are vain; but that it is some com
fort to us both, that the time is not far
distant, at which we are to deposit in the
same cercmcnt our own sorrow and SUI
lering bodies, and to ascend in essence
to an ccsiatalc meeting with the friends
we have loved and lost, and whom we
shall still love and never lose again
God bless you and support you under
your heavy affection,
