ceiyed The Diario del Gobierno (lhe Gov

election Of General Herrera as President
Of the Republic of Mexico. There are
twenty FIVE departments iu Mexico, of
which the successful candidate must, re-
ceive The votes Of thirteen-beins an alb
solute majority Of The whole. Ii appears
that although full returns bad not heen re-
ceived, il was ascortained that Herrera
had already obIaiued the suffrages of thir-.
teen departments, and was consequently
duly elected President. He will take
the oath of office and be inauguraled on
the 26lh September.
The resignation of the various Minis
ters. of.which we made mention yester-t
day, was purely the consequence of an
understanding with the President ad an-
terim when they accepted Office under.
him OH The 9Th December last. The Di-
ario del Gobierno publishes Cueyas' letter
Of resignation, in which thai fuuc,ionary
refers 10 the agreement alluded to-, and
and declares that he aud his onfreres of
the cabinet are only acting in conformity
to the terms stipulated at the period oe the:
organization Of the new Government.

Bloody, AGroy near Fort Gibson.-We hav,
been informed that, on Tuesday night last, a bloody
affray occurred at n small cabin, on Bayou Menard
near Fort Gibson. 1t seems that number o.
Whiskey is carried on, drinking and carousng.
Amongst others were VIM. Nicholson, a mixed
blooded Cherokee, end eight or ten Of the United
States Soldiers stationed at Gibson. Nicholson
it is said, after many efforts, succeeded provok.
ing difficulty with the soldiers, and in the aray
which followed, killed ono of them on the spot,
and stabbed two others-one, it is supposed, NOR
tally. Nicholson succeeded in making his escape.
Another Persion.-Since the foregoing was in
type we have another version ofthe afI'ray, which
occurred at "frolic" in the immediate vicinity
of the, Fort and not, as stated above, on Bayou
Menard. According to this version, :here were
present fifteen or twenty soldiers, some of whom
created a quarrel, that caused Considerable noise
and interrupted awhile tho dancing. with The view
of revengns pique they cherished nsnins, Mich
olson, on account Of some previous difficulty he.
tween them. The quarrel having been, howev.
or; apparently quetod, the dance was rencwcd-
While this was going on, tho soldiers the mos, of
them having crowded into the house and complete
ly blocked up the toer, mado an assault upon
Nicholson, who retroa,ed into one corner of the
house. lie was there Lesot by the assailants-
one of them, attempting to knock him down with
a club, no killed instantly by staboing with a
butchers knife.
Others then attacked him when lie wounded
three of them and made bis escape.
Such is the substance of the accounts that have
reached US, and we give them withou. vouchng
for the correctness of either, further than as to
the deadly termination of the atfray, the whole of
is, no doubt, the resu, Of drunkenness.

but those Of the other MORTAL A command, we
