The Army on the Rio Grande.

We collect from various sources several
items of the latest news concerning the Army
on the Rio Grande.
A corresp Jndent Of The New Orleans Del
tn says that General Taylor has about 10000
troops in all, under his commlnd-two-thirds
Of the whole being stationed at Matamoros {;
and that he would ere this have commenced
his march upon Monterey, had 1t not been for
the terrible freshet. The whole country IS
inundated, and movements are arrested Tor the
present. The walls of Fort Brown, a few
days before, three hundred yards from
the waters of the Rio Grande, are now wash
ed with them. The volunteers are almost up
TO their chins in mud and water.
The same correspondent represents the
health of the army as good, but various re-
ports from other quarters conGradicts this
The Louisville Public Ledger publishes an
extract of a letter from an officer in the army
to his brother in Louisville, from which II
appears that there is great suffering from dis
ease. The dysentery was very prevalent, and
several deaths had taken place.
The n. o. Della of the Goth, says that the
steamship Alabama had just arrived, bringing
over ITO men, Louisiana volunteers chiefly,
discharged on account OF sickness. There
can be no doubt that should the army remain
in its present quarters much longer, whole
ranks will be moved down by disease. The
subsidence of the river must be followed by
the generation OF miasm of the most %yirulent
character.
Tho movements of the army are exceed
ingly tardy. A correspondent of the Delta,
writing from the camp says, everything
moves with |" such a snall-llke pace as to tire

remarks, "to say that the person in mine

circumstances existing which it : impossible

the Government"

Another Mob al Lexington, Ky.
GREAT EXCITEMENT!

Shelby, who was tried at Lexington, Ky.
a short time since; for the murder Of Mr.. Hoo
rine, in that city, and who is now awaiting
a second trial in consequence of the Jury not
agreeing on a verdict at the first, has been
admitted 10 bail in the SUN of Sl0,0 OO. This

Mr.. CLAY, who was a volun teer counsel for
the prisoner, and the eight Jurors understood
to have been for the a~cqult:al of Shelby. On
the 18th inst, an open demonstration OF pop
ular feeling was made, which for a while
threatened serious consequences. 1t is thus
described in a letter to the editor Of the WASH

and the eight jurors were found suspended

House door, aud an attempt on the part Of
the jallor 10 remove them was met with such
a determined resistance by the gelters up Of
the efi gies that no further effort 10 remove
them was made. At 10 o'clock from g..
600 to 5000 people from tho county and of
the city had assembled in the courthouse

From the Teas RegiSier

Miss Parker, who was captured at her faith
er's fort on the Navisolo, ten or twelve years
ago, has married an Indian chief, and is SO
welded to the Indian mode of life that she is
unwilling to return to her white kindred.
The l%esioners made every effort in
their power to reclaim her, but she would not
listen to their kind offers; bat fl d with her
husband to the p%rairies. Even ii she should
be restored to her kindred here she would
probably take advantage of the first oppo,tu-
nifty, and flee away TO the wilds Of Northern
Texas.
Not so with the Indian who has dwelt for
a season among the pale faces. Civilization
has no charms which can compensate him for
the loss of the freedom and wildness of his
woodland life. The red man will at any time
forsake all civilization offers him, for "his
blanket tied with yellow strings"
May we not justly infer that these children
of nature live more in accordance with the
laws Of their being, than do those, the graft
i~cation of whose artificial wants constitutes
one of the principal delights of civilized life,

constantly before us, so many seem insensi
bic to tie obligations resting upon them to
furnish their servants with the means Of sal

little is done by us for their delivcrunce from

Paul, as it respects our servants, we are clear
from the blood Of all men ; for such are
the peculiar relations we sustain 10 our ser

g%uiltless Of the blood Of their souls. We do
neglect them, and if this criminal neglect CON
tinue, as sure as there is a Judgment, 80 sure
will their blood be required at our hands,
We are placed in solemn circumstances
Our servants are perishing for want of the
word of life, we have it in our own keeping.
They are in a wretched moral condition, they
are sinners against God, they are fastening

A Fact for PhOnOgraphiS:S.

We heard the other day Of a ludicrous &C.
currcnce which will serve for an illustration
of our present miserable system Of orthogra-
ply. An old woman whose COW was sick,
said her grandson who had just commenced
his school education, and had probably got
as far in his spelling lesson as b-o-u-g-h-s,
and p-l-o-u.g-h-s &C., ~ saw some COW

S0mnthing New.

The editor of the Enancipator is endeavor-
ing TO prove that that which is wrong for a
voter to do al The polls, it perfectly right for
a Legislator to do in his official opacity
He feels the necessity of doing this, or adj
hitting that the Liberty party is dead in New
HAMPSHIRE. The latter he is unwilling to
do, so he labors hard TO convince The people
that while it WIS very wrong for them to vote
for Colby, it was perfectly right for their rep
resentitives to do it. Here is a specimen Of
his logic:
Will any man say it would have been
more consistent for them to have voted for
the Democratic candidates, when they were
obliged to vote for one Of The tUOE"
We were not before aware that there was
a law in New Hampshire compelling repre-
sentatives to vote upon any question-wonder
what is the penalty for its violation! Under
such circumstances is it nota little surprising
that L berry party men should be so eager to
obtain "a office where they must vote for a

When the interest on the surplus revenue,
on the proceeds Of salt lands, and the revenue
from bdnks, insurance and bridge companies,
does not amount to 5000, 900, il ia clear that
the property of colored persons is indirectly
taxed for school purposes, for the deficiency
i made up, from the general re enuo Of the
State, 10 which their property does contribute.
Inc same Ia also true when the fund Of
SJ0O,OO0 Is made up without resort to the
general revenue, which are exclusively ap-
propria'ed 10 common school purposes, be-
long to the State and consequently 10 all
who contribute 10 the support Of the state,
which includes cOlortd persons; ami ii they
were not 50 exclusively appropriated, they
would constitute a part Of the general funj
tor the maintenance of the State, and 90 10
relieve the property Of Taxpayers, and
ainongt them colored persons, owning prop
efty, ot the increased taxation, which Ibis ex-
elusive appropriation makes necessary.

sons from common schools that are eligible

than a mulatto, who is half black and half
white, is white. See Chalmers, v. Stewart

white than black are eniitled to the %privile-

CAssIus NJ. CLAY.-No man probably ever
succeeded in disappointing his friends, and
the friends Of humanity, more than Casslus
NJ. Clay. A few years ago he began his
public cireer as the staunch foe Of oppression.
True he was still in the wilderness, but his
course was mlcards the light, and it was by
no means retarded by the prosecutions he en-
dured. And placed before the people as he
has been, not only as one laboring, but suf-
leIing for the truth, it is no wonder that his
name became enshrined in the hearts of
thousands. We doubt if any man in our
country ever succeeded in laying a founda-
ton for so extensive, and so just a pnpulari-
ty, as did Mr.. Clay. But in an evil hour the
tempter entered into his heart, and he fell
Ambition gained the highest seat, he laid
down his moral weapons for those which are
c%arnal, left the ranks Of the great and the
good, who are laboring for the elevation OF
the human race, and took his stand by the
side of villains, joined even the same rene
gades who one year ago mobbed him and
sought his life. How mysterious, that a
star so bright, and around which clustered 50
many of the worlds hopes, should sink so
suddenly, into such darkness! The ways OF

In March last, the Editor Of the E.nancipa-
tor announced with a great flourish of rum
pets, a Liberty party victory in New Hamp-
shire, and claimed that the votes Of that party
had increased eighty per cent! We didn't
believe, it for the facts we had in our possess
sion pointed to a very different conclusion.-
We thought then as we think now, that il was
a ,hread.bAre political ruse. Since then, 9TH
er circumstances connected with the election
have grown up, a different policy is deemed
expedient, and Joshua Levitt notu declares
"Nei,her the Wings nor the Liberty party
had gained any considerable increase Of
votes"

Boston Atlas, because that paper did not give
all honor to the Liberty party for the victory,
said he would preserve its testimony for future
use, and thus concluded an article

Hon. Rpmulns Saunders, Of North Carolina,
now Minister to Spain.
He had been sent TO the North a few
months before, by his family, and placed in
an insane asylum in New Hlmpshire, in tho
hope that the treatment might remove a hypo-
chondnacal affection, under the influence of
which he flncied it impossible for him to vi
ter a single word.
His illness soon yielded 10 the remedies
used, but the influence Of his siep-mother was
unfiendly to his release. He now 'took his
freedom left the hospital, aud in fear of be-
ing relaken, stated that he, the son Of a slave
holder, threw himself, when suffering oppres.
sion, upon the protection Of one whom he had
heard of as the ad vocate of the enslaved. He
had sought out William Lloyd Garrison, re-
ceived kindness and protection at his hands,
and now pledged himself before the audience
to defend that name against the obloquy heap
ed upon it at the South.
