FROM LA PLATA.-The New York Sun
of the lllh inst. publishes letter from
Montevidco, dated the LIST of January,
which contains several important item of
information. ItalIeges that the combined
squadron had pushed up the Parana as far
as "A town near CorrienteS that the ConsuIS
ofParaguay had declared war against the
Argentine Republic, and that Brazil was
preparing to do the same.
ItalSo mentions the night action between
the contending parties on the 2lst of De-
cember, in which 50 men were killed and
1000 horses taken. An account of this
action was received at this city, by way of
Rio, more than ten days ago. 1t further
says that on the 25th December the monar-
chical fleets, ascending the Parana, attack
ed postjuSt below CorrenteS, and destroy
ed it, The post was defended by ouy $50
cavalry and 100 infantry. The Argentines
retleated with loss of only two men, one
field piece-a six pounder-fve hundred
horses, and stores.
The writer ofthe Suns letter predicts a
long and Sanguinaray war, and a civil war
Brazil, should that Empire declare againt
the Argentines.

INTERESTING FACT.-One of the Ohio
river steamboats, grounded few days ago
II short distance below Wheeling, in eight
feet of water, owing TO the immense accu-
mutations of ice on her bottom. In this
dilemma the freight was taken out OF the
hold the matches fastened down, and tho
steam scape-pipe Turned in. The ice was
thus thawed off in five or six hours; and the
boat, freed from her embarrassing situation,
proceeded on her way. The Piusburg
Gazette, speaking ofthis novel experiment,
says:
Agenteman largely interested in boats,
10 whom we mentioned the circumstance,
thought it would be great improvement
if all steamers were furnished with a pipe
through which the hold could at any mo-
mcnl be filled with steam. 1t occurred TO
him on the Palestine, when fire broke
out in her hold on the Mississippi. Some
IRON which was lying al the bottom became
heated, and when water was thrown upon
II the vapor created almost inSlantaneously
cXtinguiShed the fire. If case of fire in
the hold the matches were battened down
and the steam turned in, it is obvious that
it must be Immediately smolhered, unless
the deck or sides were so far injured as TO
allow The steam to escape. This IS worthy
the attention Of steamboat owners.

New HAMPsHTRE-The returns from all
but two towns show that the democratic candi-
date for Governor in New Hampshire is proba-
bly, defeated-not having received majority of
all the votes given, which, in that State, will
give the election to the legislature. The dem
ocrats have suffered themselves split, and abol-
ton has reared its hydra head among them
The result is that, though the vast bulk of the
party are true TO their creed and the country,
the wings are claiming the deserters as their
allies, and the state ofthings as a whig taiumph.
The legislature stands l26 democrats; ii
wings; and % aboltonsts The wings expect
OF course the aboltonSts to Join with them and
thus conquer the democrats Ifsouthern wings
can rejoice in such conquest, let them.

PoLAND.--There are accounts of anoth-
er attempted revolution in this unhappy
country. A letter received in Paris SAYS !:
Con the 9th instant, general inSurrec-
ton Was TO take place throughout Poland,
and it was said, GaIIicia. am aware of
the proverbiaI hopeIessneSs of any revolu-
tionary movement, the intention to COM
mence which is known in advance; but
the incredible courage and the insupporta-
BILE sufferings of the Polish people, and
probably the maneuvreS of the Russian
government, may, it is to be apprehended,
have rendered this case an exception TO the
general rule. Few particulars of the pro-
jected revolt are known here, and aCquain-
lance with them being confined TO Poles,
who, in their sorrow and dsmay, cannot
be expected to be communicative, it's diff
licuIt to arrive at more than few facts"

PRosPEcTs OF Waffle intelligence
from Mexico and Texas, in this days paper,
is replete with interest Tho collision, if the
portents are correct, is about to come, and with
it the last brief and bloody scene in the hIlul
drama of Mexican nationality The policy OF
Mexico, so far as known. reveals the corrupt
character Of her politics, the mean intrlgues OF
her statesmen and the trucking spirit Of her
soldery. Her last patriot, the disiatsrested
Parades, who assembled the Presidents chair
with such bombastic professions Of patriotism,
is proved an archhypocrite, who has gided a
rotten heart and foul designs with the sem
blance Of the purest virtues, yet who is now
about to sell the independence Of bis country
to the princely protcge Ofthe French and En-
elish alliance for some stipulated mess Of pot
iage,-perhaps a title from Queen Vic, end
pension wrung from the suffering victims Of
the Corn Laws
We regard this threatened aggression on the
part Of Mexico as the work Of the English ca
binel-a diplomatic Tuss, TO fright,n US into
concession and compromise upon the Oregon
question; or, Il this will not prove successful,
10 secure the alliance Of Mexico in the event
ofwar. Well, ld the war come; and though
the press Of Mexico Is silenced BY the arbilra-
" decree Of tyrant, Il is one Of those eoereive
measures which ever cause reaction Of the

believe that the question will turn on the

A desperate convict, named Gibbs, con-

the keeper, Mr.. Watson. As he came into

intending no doubt to despatch him and
make his escape. Watson, however, drew
one of Colts revolving pistols, and after a
desperate conflict for its possession, he sue
ceeded in reaching around and shooting
the prisoner in The back while they were
clenched; and after receiving another shot
in the breast, Gibbs fell back in his cell
and expired. Watson had shut the iron

and no one could get TO his assistance, it
was a conflict of life or death with him.
