New York has arrived, bringing two
DAYS later news from Gen. Taylor'a
army. We learn from an extra Of the
Galveston News, issued on the after
noon of the 4th inst, that the pilot
boat L. M. Hitchcock, Capt. Wright,
arrived at Galveston about 4 o'clock
P. M. of that day, from the Brazos St.
,Jago, which place she left ON Wednes-
day, the 1st. inst. She brought the
intelligence that upon the arrival the
Army Of Occupation, in front of Mat
amoras, the Mexican forces were drawn
out on the opposite bank of the river,
making great display of martial reic
with trumpets, bugIes, &C., which
mode OF salutation was duly reciprocal
ted in kind by similar sounding of
trumpets and drums in the American
lines. Thus ended the first days
rencounter between the two armies on
the opposite banks of the Rio GranGe,
and in two or three hundred yards of
each other. On the next morning,
the 20, the American troops discovered
the Mexican artillery of Is plumbers,
lining the opposite bank, and point.
ing directly into their camp, whereup-
on the American army moved their
encampment four miles below. This
step was doubtless taken, by General
Taylor, in order to avoid every appear
ance of any disposition to commit ag-
erosion upon the west bank Of the
river and to maintain strictly the de-
fensive character Of Of his operations.
The most reliable statements represent
the regular army in Matamoras to con-
sist of 1000 soldiers, and 500 rancho
ros. The Mexican citizens Of the Rio
Grande are said to be quite disaf-
fected towards their own Government.
and secretly friendly TO the American
cause.

THE CHARLOTTESVILLE
TRAGEDY.

We are indebted to the Editors of
the Times for the following statement
of facts,as detailed at the Coroner's in
quest held over the body of young
Glover. They are furnished by a gen.
tleman in whom we have full conf
dence. Upon this showing, the STU
dents ought to be regarded as blame
less of the fatal consequences, and the
whole guilt thrown upon the wanton
violence of the keepers. The outrage
was marked by ferocity scarcely to
be expected from the wild beasts in
their keeping. Here, indeed, civiliz-
led man, under the influence ofpassion,
has shown himself to be more violent
and less generous than some Of the
noble beasts in their untamed nature:
Richmond Enquirer.
"On Saturday afternoon, Just after
the Menagerie of Raymond & Co. had
been opened, at Charlottesville, stu
dent Of the University attempted to
cross from one side to the other of an
area which had been cleared for
some part of the exhibition. He was
ordered back SO roughly by one of the
keepers, that he refused to return, and
an angry parley commenced, where
upon, he was joined by several other
students, who appeared disposed to re-
sist the authority of the keeper. AT
ter some minutes conversation, howev-
er, the matter was peaceably adjusted
and the performances went on.
cit appears that the persons connec-
ted with the menagerie anticipated
recurrence Of the collision at night,
and accordingly prepared meanSof en-
forcing their rules by violence on those
who resisted. Not more than twelve
students according 10 some witnesses,
fifteen according to others, went to the
show as night; and ofthese there is po-
sltive evidenced that not more than three
contemplated any difficulty. Three of
them did renew the provocation given
by the single student in the afternoon,
of entering the open area. They were
accosted in the same rough manner by
the keeper; and whilst demonstrating,
perhaps warmly, one Of the keepers
led the elephant into the ring. This
caused the students to recede rapidly;
but, Notwithstanding this, party Of
some tDenty persons, connected with
the menagerie rushed in from an ad-
joining room, or tent, armed with hea-
Wy clubs, which they used with terrible
effect, Unfortunately, on all who APP
peared to be students. One of the
students, young Glover, standing qui
etlyo of the ring, who had not in any
way participated in the offence given
to the keepers, was SO much injured
that be died in about three hours
Two or three of the other young men
'(the names, given in letter to the En-
quirer, are Johnson, Williamson and
Waring) were also seriously injur.
ed.
"Since the tragical occurrence, the
students have behaved with exemplary
forbearance, though naturally much
excited. The deceased was one of
the most orderly students of the Uni
versi.y and was in no degree concerned
in producing the disturbance. During
the whole affair, no pistol or. other
deadly weapon was exhibited by any
of the students, who made most in
effectual defence, against superior
numbers and strength, with Slight
waking canes"

to give up the accomplishment of an
object, If it be one worthy our exer-
tons. We sent to the Type Foundry

ty. They can be had elsewhere, how
ever; and we shall lose no time in pro-
curing them. If small quantity
just enough to answer the purpose for
| which we want them-cannot be pro-
cured, we are quite sure that large
quantity will do just as well. We
will make proposition to our good
friends, by way of "raising the wind"
to get the type we need. 1t is this
We propose that those who are aiding
us in our good cause, shall exert them
selves to procure new subscribers to
our "Sentinel'' for the next month to
come, and the results of their disinter-
ested efforts, or so much thereof as
shall be necessary, shall be devoted to
the purchase of the type in question.

under the necessity of "straining

usefulness" will be enlarged; and
who will dare say that our efforts shall
not be crowned with the happiest con-
sequences?

ries have an idle font of type such as
we want, and would like to dispose of
it, perhaps they would do we'll to con-

G= By reference to the news from
Texas, it will be seen that Mr.. Slidell,
late minister to Mexico, has returned.
1t is very plain to see what effect this
movement on the part Of Mexico, in
refusing to acknowledge our minister
will have upon the relations ofthe two
countries. Paroles has issued proc
lamation teeming with patriotic devo-
ZION to his country, and threatening
"terrible things" against those "cor-
rupt" beings who deprived Mexico of
one of her ''richest departments" In
our heart we commisserate the deplor-
able condition of that country. They
are literally without government
Anarchy and disorder reign supremacy.
Some of the disinterested governments
of Europe are endeavoring to persuade
the people that monarchy, if estab-
lished, would secure them in future
from those terrible commissions which
have distracted the country since its
freedom from Spain. 1t is said, how
ever, that, if left to choose between
monarchy and their present form of
government, the people will not con-
sent to the establishment. of monarchy.
Granting that the great body of Mexi-
can people are filter subjects to be
governed than to govern, in their pres
ent semi barbarian condition; yet, il
does not necessarily follow, that a
monarchy will preserve their peace,
and bring them sooner to that state of
civilization so desirable, nay, SO indis-
pensable for their prosperity and happi-
ness.

Proclamation Of Paredes.-Below
we give few extracts from the late
proclamation of one of the princi-
pal actors in the movements of Mexi-
co. tits but just to acknowledge,
that the whole of this document, bonn
bastic as tis,is marked by no ordinary
ability. After speaking Of his own SUI
preme devotion to his country, and
his past efforts for ssthe salvation of his
native country" he thus speaks rela-
|tive to the refusal of Mexico to receive
our minister, and the claims she still
has upon Texas:
"The dignity of the nation, the
march of an American army on to the
Rio Grande, where the head quarters
of troops are situated, the threatening
appearance of the fleets of that nation
In both oceans, and all the antecedents
well known to the civilized world have
compelled me to reject the Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenitentiary
of the United States, in order not to
furnish an example of debility that
might sanction, by pernicious and
lll-advised act, usurpation not found .
ed in reason or any plausible motive,
but which merely relies in their in their
hopes ofintimidating US by force
The American Minister, whose mission
was not circumscrlbed to the Discus
sion of the Texas question, has deman-
ded his passports, and l have caused
them to be expedited without any hes
itation.
"The Republic ofMexico--espoiIed
of the rich and extensive territory of
Texas, which always belonged to it,
by the direct acts of the supreme au-
thority of a neighboring Republic
after discovering her design to seize
some other Of our adjoining or frontier
possessions, has been forced to protest,
has protested, and does still solemnIy
protest, that she does not acknwledge
the ri ght of the American fagnn the soil
of Texas, and she will defend her lnva-
ded territory, and Meier, nerer permit
new conquests or new advantages
of the government of the United
States.
GAS, however, in the meantime, the
j. States might make sudden attack
on one of our maritime boundaries, or
on those adjoining Texas, it will be
necessary to repeal force by force, and
when the invaders have made the COM
mencement, the immense responsible
ty ofhaving disturbed the peace Of the
aoorM will fall upon them. l shall be
still more explicit, which it is impor-
tant should be. Mexico never com
mitted, nor will she commit, ca single
aggression against the people or
Government of the United States of
America; but if an attack should be
made, it viii! be repealed to the fullest
extent of our power, and with all the
energy of our character, because
resistance is nothing more than the
right of self-preservation. +"
