IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

U. S. BRIG-OF- WAR TRUXTON BURNT.
Officers and Crew, acith the exception Of taco Lieutcn
ants and nineteen men, taken Prisoners By The
.Nericans ind marched to I'dmpico.
BY the arrival of the U. s. Revenue steamer Lee
care at New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, we are in re-
ceipt of letters from correspondents as late as
the 29th ult. We have but time previous to the
closing of the mail to publish the following letter:
U. S. SQUAD. OFF POINT ANTONIO DE LIzAREo, !
August 29th, 1916. {
The only event of Importance which has transpired
of late is the loss of the U. S. brig TrLxton, the
bar of Tuspan river, about $50 miles northWard of
Vera Cruz. The intelligence brought to the
Squadron the 10th, by the st. Mary's, that ship
having picked up one OF the Truxton's boats with
Lieutenant Bergman on board.
1t appears that Capt. Carpenter of the Truxton,
wishing to get his vessel shore to protect his
boats while obtaining provisions, employed Scotch
man he had taken out of Mexican prize to pilot him
in, but who, whether from design or accident, ran
him aground on the 18th. On the 18th, with the
exception of Lieut.. Hunter and boats crew, she
was abandoned by the officers and men. who went
ashore to the number of about 60 in all, and
dered themselves to the Mexican commandment. They
were Hospitality received cOmplmented with bail,
and left next day with guide of four men for Tam
pico, about 100 miles further north. Lieut.. Hunter
and his boats put to sea, captured small Mex
lean schooner and came down to our present anchor
Berryman) and about twenty men saved. AS soon
as the news was received, the Princeton Immediately
got under weigh and proceeded to the scene of dsas
ter.
The Truxton was found beating on the bar, bilged
and completely filled with water, having about four
feet over the birth deck. The surf violent
the bar that it not until the 23d, that the boats
of the Princeton could board her, when, finding it
impossible to get her off save her, she was fired
and completely burned. few of the best spars were
brought off but otherwise she is total loss. She
had been completely plundered and stripped by the
Mexicans before the arrival of the Princeton. Her
guns were found to have been thrown overheard
The Princeton ran into 5 fathoms water (she draws
1913 feeto and was then about miles distant, the
swell was so heavy that nearer approach in shoaer
water was deemed dangerous.
After firing the brig, the Princeton returned i'm
medately the 23d to this present anchorage about
10 miles southwark of Vera Cruz. AT the mouth of
Tuspan River, the Mexicans have small force ten
ted in sheds. The town of Tuspan is back some
eight miles distant. Several commune atoms passed
between the Princeton and shore by flags of truce,
and by them the fate of the captives was learnt.

SEEING THE BATTLE GRoUND.-A verdant traveller,
who landed here on Thursday from the Empire, was
persuaded by very friendly fellow travelling to go
up and see the battle ground where Gen. Hull fought
the British. After arriving at what the volunteer
cicerone called the battle ground another sight seer
and who by the way, pretended to be real
along and after talking of the localities, said he had
come to an old man who was in the battle, and
who had brought him up. He added, that the old
man was very devil at literary pretensons and that
he himself was some at the same kind of business.
Verdant proposed having his fortune told the price
was only 25 cents. Whilst arranging the cards, the
polite cicerone took hold of them and put the ace of
clubs top, first showing it the verdant traveller,
this was effected whilst the seers attention was ac-
cidentalty called off.
The polite cicerone then asked the seer if he could
tell what card was top of the pack, of course he
could, and named the of spades. The polite cic-
erone denied it, and the proposed backing bis
opinion with bet of $50. This the ccerone could
not do unless the verdant traveller would lend him
$50, as he was sure to win. The traveller did so
and the twain walked off with the money-the trav-
eller was pursuing them, when another man came in
sight, and stopped the traveller and told him it was
useless to pursue the men, but he knew them and
would Immediately go with him to Justice and get
warrant.
Unfortunately no Justice could be found where the
third person looked and he too left promising
turn. Not coming back, the victim of this shallow
fraud applied to Mr.. OBerne, and warrant was is
sued and placed in the hands of those vigilant Off
GERS, Messrs. McMichael and Freeman but up TO {
o'clock last evening the sroundrels had not beer
found. The $50 was all the poor fellow had in the
world.-.4dUertiser.

SAFE OF THE RAILRoAD.--The people of Michigan.
are at length permitted to know that persons have
been found who are willing to relieve them of the
burden of managing the Central Railroad. Not to
be sure the original corporators,the have taken
parstey little Of the stock, but somebody, perhaps
men of wealth, perhaps needy spectators, who are
seeking to become such. The fact ishowever quite
apparent that the use of the names of eminent east
ein men, by Mr.. Brooks, was wholly gratuitous and
unauthorized; ruse played off to get charter
passed on the most favorable erms and to throw the
value OF the road into the shape of stock. that 1T
might come within the reach of brokers and obbers
in Boston and New York. The plan was a bold one
to play off any where else but it succeeded well with
Michigan. The patient suffering victim of knaves
at home as long as she could endure their violence,
she throws herself into the hands of knayes from
abroad, as relief. And there are those who would
persuade us that this conduct is eevatng the State
to proud rank among her sisters of the Vest an
Irish hoist truly. But now, that all doubt of the
matter of sale is ended, will the people distinctly ap
pose any amendment of the charter, favorable to the
company by the next Legislature? We ask this
question, because certain that application will
be made for such amendment, among the first doing
of that body The present charter doubtless in
tended to the objects proposed to be effected
by the sale; the diminution of the State debt, the
thorough repair, and speedy completion OF the road;
no amendment can be made to favor that company
which will not be detrimental to theState in TIE
other of these PARTICULARS and yet there men who
are even ready to extend the time of payment a:
well as of repairs and completion, and the weight Of
Iron for the track; and to all restriction
of charges for freight or fare. To effect this object
the largest possible amount of subscriptions to the
stock were called for in this state and it urget
that upon this amount, which could not exceed $780,
600, the sale might depend. SHOULD the southern
road be now taken, powerful interest favor of lib
eral amendments, will be secured in that section
| the State, and between the two forces the rights
aud welfare of the people will easily be ground t.
powder.
As far as we can do it, however, they shall be
| warned in time.

UNIvHRsAI SuFFRAeE.-We are, every inch OF us,
Democrat and Republican; and being such, and
claiming that our government is Democratic and Re
publican, we are often constrained to blush, when
we see men in our streets, quietly pursuing their
business, dsposing of the products of their farms
contributing their full portion, every way, to the
support of the community, society and the govern
ment,-who yet have no roice IN our elections. We
blush still deeper when think OF the rule by which
they are excluded, and its effects. BY this, while
the most degraded of one class is enfranchlsed the
most intelligent of the other prescribed II for any
reason for the fault of the debased. When we meet
one of this latter class, can scarcely greet him
cordially, go sensibly do feel the guilt Of the wrong
under which he suffers, lying upon US In common
with every other Citizen until every effort is made to
remove it. we care nothing for the false imputa-
tions of the zeaots of the sestyled Libcrty party
the headlong course, and bgoted prejudice OF Abo-
ltionism we heed not, but the eloquent though ST.
lent language of good behavior. OF respectable cn-
zensbip: of life of one, who, under all expressions
and dscouragements "acts well his part" and above
all of accomplishing endurance, speaks irreslstably,
and we cannot neglect it. We trust that the COM
ing session of the Legislature will not pass without
securing Justice to this unjusty dsfranchised class
We think we know enough of the feeling OF the peo-
pie of the State to say confidently, that an amend
ment to the Constitution, securing the right OF SUI
age to such OF this class of population as pos
sess freehods or have gained permanent residences,
and are engaged permanently In mechanical or agrl-
cultural employments while it excluded the transient
and the vagrant, would meet with unanimous appro-
baton. Why should it not. Single out one OF the
instances to which we have alluded, and ask any one
if he has any objection to enfranchising such annd
vidual, he promptly answers, no! Who then has any
objection to enfranchising all such9 No one. Let
then, this long delayed act of justice be done; and
let the people rown upon any attempt to defeat by
proposing frivolous amendments, as was done last
winter.

and we therefore request that an immediate stop be
put to it, by Withdrawing our troops from Mexlco'
and offering to adjust all the difficulties between US
by negotiation or reference" Yes, it is high time
that course of conduct should be stopped when the
people are unable to give reason schy it should be
continued,par tcularly if it involve vast amount OF
