Prison.
Tho following letter from Mrs FARsHAa, Princi-
-, Marion of the Female Prison al Sing Sing, to
Judge EDMoSDs, we publish with great pleasure
SING SING, April llth, 1886.
Hon j. w EDnoSDs, Chairman Of Tie E1>oustre COMMIT;
TEE ,u Neg York Prison s,,Ocia;ioa
DEAR SlR: We had the Home Branch Of the
Hutchinson Family with US yesterday. They had
been invited TO visit and sing in the Prisons, and
came up on Saturday FOX that purpose Were you
acquainted with them, sboold not have to tell you
that the simplicity and genuineness of their charac
ters add as much TO the effect Of their music char
acters less beautiful derive from it Such is the fact,
and nowhere, as you are well aware, would the Pc
cuar force Of this charm be more keenly tel; than
among our unfortunate prisoners.
They took part in the Sabbath services Of both
Prisons In the Chapel OF the Male Prison, after
brief prayer, they sang the beautiful piece entitled
His love can ne'er be told
and i. would have delighted you to see how the
ssntirnen, lit up the hearts of that large coDgrega-
ton. This was followed by the announcement Of
three deaths that had recently occurred in the Prs
on. One Of these, as you may already know, wssa
suicide The victim was young Englishnan,
about %, who had for some time been laborDg un-
der depression Of mind. He perpetrated the deed
By hanging himself with mis- towel. made fas. TO the
hook by which his bed was suspended during the
day.
The statement ofthese melancholy occurrences by
the Chaplain was followed by the very beautiful and
appropriate piece
A bro,ker is dead
sung by Mr.. Joshua Hutchinson. The most perfect
silence pervsded the audience, and as the tender,
low breathed strains were uttered, every syllable,
though whispered in the softest Tone was audible,
and glistening eyes and flushed brows in many parts
of the house testified tina, neither crime its
sequences had yet utterly extingushed sympathy or
sensibility.
An eloquent and appropriate sermon by Mr.. RED
FIELD of Brooklyn was followed by the singing Of
the following piece written for the occasion by our
excellent friend OLIVER JOHNSON

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
TELEGRAPHIC REPORT.
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

BALTIMORE, June "a, 1916.
The NeW Orleans Picayune of the 10Th instant,
contains some further intelligence from the seat
Of war. given by one of the Legislative commit
tee. The American flag was displayed in Fort
Paroles, and the army appeared as well con-
tented as could be expected, considering the
pause Of active hcstilities.
Before the committee left the Rio Grande, in
telIgence Of the death Of Gen. Torreion reached
Matamoras it is said that he died Of fever.
After tho battles Of the 9Th and 9th Of May, it wa.
thought he was killed in one or the other Of those
actions. He was the commander of the Mexican
division that captured Capt. Thornton's COM
mand. There was no certain knowledge in the
American camp, as to the position of the Mexi-
can army, but it was generally supposed to be at
Monterey. 1t was also confidently asserted that
Gen. Arsta and Ampudia, had both left the army
for the capitalize latter charging Arsta with
having betrayed the army, and Arista chargin G
Ampudia with cowardice.
U. s. Sloop Of War John Adams, brig Law
renee, and cutter Woodbury., were off the
mouth Of the Rio Grande.
Bark William Any, Capt. Hoffman, has ar
rived from Brazos Santiago, having sailed thence
on the 18th inst.
Capt Ker, of the ID dragons, and Lieut. Scott
OF the 7th infantry, came passengers in the bark.
passenger reports that an express arrived at
Matamoras on the 9th inst. with intelligence that
reinforcement of 5000 Mcxicans had arrived at
Monterey, as he says, under Arista. We give the
rumor as we heard it.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1846-06-28
Important from Yucatan.

The Prussian brig Delfino, Captain Zarts, ar-
rived at New Orleans on tho 10Th, from Cam
peachy, whence she sailed on the 9th inst. The
news brought by her from Yucatanis important
letter written at that place to commercial
house in New Orleans, dated on the day of the
Delfno's sailing, which we have been allowed to
peruse, states that the Yucatan Congress was still
in session, but expected to adjourn on the 10Th
inst. They were discussing the propriety of
separation from Mexico, with the greatest eur
nestness, and the general impression was, that
before they adjourned, Yucatan would be de-
clared independent. The Delfno reported that
the United States brig Somers arrived on the 4th
inst, and the Lawrence on the 9th, the latter
from the Rio Grande, after five days passage.
All well on board.

BY THE MAILS.

WASHINGTON, June a, 1876.
Mr.. Calhoun, from the select committee on the
resolutions OF the Memphis Convention, made his
report to-day. The arguments and constitutional
points involved in the report are OF too important
and weighty character to be commented on in
a short letter. Mr.. Calhoun now recognises the
right Of the general government to make appro-
priauons, for internal improvement, in the Missis-
sippi, and all ITS tributary streams say now,
because Mr.. Calh un, at one period, held different
views Of public policy. He at one time, in Con-
the Hon. Philip P. Barbour; who made the issue
with Mr.. Clay, at that day, this very subject Of
the constltutionality Of internal improvement, by
the general government.
am on the side of Mr.. Calhoun on this subject,
and only refer to il as a matter Of history. The
public will have the report forthwith.
