1t. PORTER AND THREE OTHERS KILLED.
The Telegraph, Capt. Aud, arrived last night
tfom the Brazos St Iago, and four days later from
The Army Of Occupation. This steamship left
Brazos ST. Iago at 10 O'Clock, A. NJ day before
Yesterday, being only % hours out. The Cap
tain has kindly furnished us with some memoran-
da, stating that on the 18th inst Lieut. Porter Of
the 4th Regiment, Tson OF the late Commodore
Porter] being out with fatigue party of ten men,
Tsome of them wearing unform] and fired upon
within few miles of the Camp
Lieut.. Porter and three of his men were killed,
in the attack, the rest of the party escaping re-
turned to the camp next day. 1t is stated that
the guns OF the Americans were wet and would
not fire. We see no explanation given why this
party of soldiers should be ranging about the
country with guns that mould not fire.
Lieut.. Van Ness informs us that nothing father
had been heard of Col. Cross up to the 18th, but
that the general opinion is that he is still prison.
err, though not at Matamoros.
About fifty of the American army have desert
ed and swan the river for the Mexican camp, but
a number of them were shot as deserters while in
the water. The whole number of American
troops is estimated at between two and three
thousand, and they are said to be in excellent dis
clphne and eager tor an engagement with the
enemy. Ampudia's forces are reported at be-
tween three and four thousand 1t is rumored
that Arista is about to supersede Ampudia in the
command. Galueston .Ne,cs, ApriI "a.
1t is neck-and-neck now with our country and
Mexico whichis most ridiculous in this war on the
Rio Grande. Lieut. Porter's death will be deeply
lamented. He was married but short time since.
He was brave and gallant officer, and worthily
bore she name of his gallant father
The Vera Cruz Correspondent OF the New
York Tribune under date OF April 20, furnishes
the following
GEN. Bravo, who at Tobasco raised the first
arm against Santa Ana. in December, 1884, ar
rived here some days ago, and soon after assumed
the important command indicated by the title of
Ccmmander-in-C Chief of the Military division of
the East" This command embraces the depart
ments OF Vera Cruz, Puebla, Oajaca and Tobasco.
Santa Ana will not easily pass the gate, guarded
by such sentinel as Nicholas Bravo.
REVOLUTION. A new revolution has broken
out in the South of the Department of Mexico,
headed by Gen. Juan Alvarez, in favor of the
Federal Constitution and the return of Santa
Ana. AT the latest dates, we could not getits
details; but there is no doubt OF the truth Of the
report.

Want OF Time accepted) could have done have
had the Pleasure Of seeing them in Print, and of
hearing them approved.
The House have not done any Business since
the session, only respecting the guards and Can
non; The Governor in his message tells them he
has no authority over his Maiesty's Forces here
altho in the Resolutions of both Houses of Par
lament it is expressly said that the military Pow
er is sent to aid the civil authority and to be sub
jeet thereto. A Committee has been appointed
TO consider the Governors Message, and reported
last Saturday The Substance of which report is
that it is difficult to conceive that the military
Power came to aid the civil authority and be sub
ject thereto, and yet the Governor as supreme
Magistrate, has no Authority over them The
farther Consideration of which Report Is to come
this Afternoon; When it was read there was an
Objection to one Paragraph, and it was recommit :
ted for an amendment
The Speaker (Mr Cushing) this Day received
Letter from the House of Burgesses of Virginia
signed by their Speaker, inclosing number of

Request to join in similar Resolves.
There is Report that our Governor is ordered

this believe, that whenever that Event shall
take Place, there will be much or more oy

hear that Col. Luttrell was admitted to seat

Notes, when Mr. Walker had 100; and that said
Luttrell liked to have been killed in coming from

School MEETING The voters of the Centre School
District in Worcester reminded that their Annual
Meeting is to be holden at O'Clock this afemoon.-
This meeting always important one, peculiarly so
the present year. in consequence of circumstances that
have transpired during the last three months. With
those circumstances our absence from town, at the tme
prevented becoming particularly acquainted and we
have therefore formed very definite opinion in relation
them. But as it understood that they to be the
occasion for proposed alteration of the Bylaws,
deem very important that there should be full meet
ing that whatever may be done, whether it be to re-
tain TO change the present provisions of those By.
Laws may carry with it the authority of the District =
We hope the subject may be canvassed temporarily,
nd with single eye the good of schools, and that
whatever done, may be BY such meeting as will COM
mand for the result the respect and acquescence of all
parties concerned

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT. 1t will be recoIlected
by our readers, that time last summer, several of
the Mleres in Aiho were committed TO the House Of
Correction by Justice Ward Of Petersham. Suisse
quenty, of them, Leonard c. Fuller commenced an
action against Edrdge G. Chamberlain and some others
for assault and battery, which has been tried before the
s. j. Court, this week. II alleged that at sundry
times, last summer Chamberlain and others orcibIy ell
tered and broke up the Mlere meetings, and that the
assault and batt ny committed on those occasions
The defendants relied the the conduct of The Miller
ties as paiation of the offence, and III mitigation of
damages
We understand they prepared 10 prove some
rather startling facts, but the Court ruled that nothing
should be admitted respecting their conduct except what
occurred on the refere to. The Jury found
verdict of guilty against Anderson Cook Asa Sratton,
aud Daniel Bigelow, and assessed damages at $780,
They acquitted Chamberlain and one other of the de-
PENDANTS.

A NOBLE WOMAN. Never shrink from wo-
man OF strong sense. II she become attached to
you, It will be from seeing and valuing other sim
liar qualities in yourself. You may trust her for
she knows the value Of your confidence. You
may consult her, for she is able to advise, and
does so at once with the frmness OF reason, and
the consideration of affection. Her love will be
lasting, for 1t will not have been lightly won; It
will be strong and ardent, for weak minds are not
capable OF the softer grades Of passion II you
prefer attaching yourself to a woman of feeble

ignorance, to that which approaches to apprecia-

WASHINGTON. May Sd.

5" WASHINGTON, May Sd.
The Intelligencer having noticed the design of
the Administration party in Congress to adjourn
from the last of May to the first OF October. the
Union makes it the subject of very long and
very ridiculous article, in which it denies the
truth OF the statement; and charges that il is
Wing fabrication. You will recollect that in
my last letter stated distinctly that such was
the plan OF the friends of the Executive. and
that 1t was understood to be for the purpose Of
getting rid of the Senate during the pending of
the negotiations, which are expected to be re-
sumed, on the Oregon question. This statement
Notwithstanding the denial of the Union and the
luss 1t makes about it, repeat, is true That the
Union is ignorant thereof is extremely probable
for it is not permitted to know more than suits the
designs OF those who control the movements of
the Democracy in Congress; but it is within nv
knowledge the project referred to has been pro-
posed and considered that the initiated had no
doubt but they would carry it through the Sen
ate, and that the House was being sounded with
view to ascertain if its concurrence could be
had. The proposed adjournment was urged tor
the reason above given; but other reasons are
supposed TO have weight-such as the want of
unity in the party in relation to the repeal of the
Tariff, and the danger of loss to the party in the
coming elections, as the consequent nee of any de-
hntive action that might be had on that measure.
II the vote should be in favor OF the British Tar
III OF Mr. Walker, the American feeling might
be aroused and called into action against the
party by which it had been deceived, and if the
vote should be against it, then the free trade de-
mocracy OF the south would withdraw its allegi-
ance thus presenting dilemma that pointed to
inaction, or rather postponement, as the only
means of escape. The Sub-Treasury, too, is
another of those party measures about which
there is certainly more unannity, but as to the
practical operations of which the party has seri-
Gus doubts Few of its advocates that have
conversed with, believe that it can be carried IN
to effect without temporary inconvenience of a
serious character, and there is anxiety to have
this measure also postponed till the fall elections
shall have passed. All these considerations have
doubtless had their weight in inducing the pro-
ject 10 which | have referred, and which the
Union so stoutly denies, but the main one be-
leve to be is the that 1t has pressed upon the
faithful-that the presence of the Senate pending
negotiations would be an embarrassment to the
President
Since this scheme of our administration party
has been brought to light believe its defeat GER
tain. The Senate cannot let any considerations
of party expediency control their action in rela-
ton to matter of constitutional trust involving
the peace of the country.

The ELEPHANT AND THE LOCOMOTIVE. A
few days ago there was monster meeting AZ
Morpeth, Wombwell's elephant and a North
British locomotive engine having arrived in the
course Of the afternoon. The engine was drawn
by fifteen horses Mr.. King, the manager Of the
menagerie, made an offer Of the services Of the
elephant TO surmount the hill in leaving the Town.
His kindness was at once accepted; and the ele
plant, apparently proud Of an opportunity of dis
playing his strength, cheertully and resolutely
undertook the task. When yoked 10 the load he
seemed to say to the horses, as they tugged along
with him,"see me do i'll" and he never once paus-

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD. A young man,
named Peck, about "a years old, was so dangerously
wounded, at Pomfret yesterday morning, that hopes
were entertained Of his recovery. He was riding on
one of the cars of the down train and struck his head

same bridge where killed last year. Peck

had left his situation day before ana was on his

JUST AND NOBLE EULoGIUM Mr. Chand-
Ter of the United States (Phadelphia) Gazette,
in abiding to the public life of noble son of
New England, introduces the following tribute
as beautiful as it is true:
Sc 1t has been our chance to have been in stu
alton TO mark the course of Daniel Webster al
most ever since he left the corn field of his ia
Their, to gather knowledge TO make him useful
public man. We saw him at the bar, active as
any other lawyer and more successful. We saw
him in the House of Representati1 es, defending
the institutions OF his country. We saw him in
the Senate of the United States the lofty minded
and successful defender of the Constitution and
the Union against southern aggression We saw
him spring to the support of General Jackson's
administration, when errors aud rashness had
jeoparded its stability. and encouraged treason
and disunion at the south. We saw him nego-
uatng with the British Minister, aud settling
controversy of half a century's existence, and
settling it, too, so much to the advantage of his
own country, that the papers of Great Britain
denounced Lord Ashburton, for meanly ren.
gushing national rights We have seen Daniel
Webster since, in the Senate, when assailed in
the meanest and most viruent manner, rise like
young Alcides, and strdngle the miserable SER
penis that Kissed about him
Daniel Webster, we know, is Wing ard as
such, we could not expect his political opponents
" iauu MS enoTls, UT souHu MS praise. but Dam
lei Webster is great man, and in all that makes
him great all that gives extent to his fame, and
enviabe lustre to his character, the nation is
concerned. HI is one upon whose emnence as
world-renowned man, the republic must rest
in the storms and tempests which are to VISIT
the world. His fame is part of the wealth Of the
country and men like him stand above the age
in which they live, shedding below and around
them light in which others walk-a light that
makes illustrous the institutions upon which it is
poured.''
