A gang Of thieves has been found and
broken up in this place, and some OF
the interesting parties compelled to
quit town in short orderA Ifany others
remain, we take the liberty Of suggest
ing that notice (not Of twelve months)
but immediate, be given them 10 take up
their bundles and walk, Otherwise the
authorities Of the town will construe
the reGusalso to do, into an intention on
their part to continue The Joint occupan-
cy of the Incorporation, which they
will in nowise subm 10 or allow, but
on the other hand will feel themselves
called upon by every consideration dear
10 society and good morals, TO dissolve
the connexion heretofore existing, by
u resort to arms. However painful this
may be, it is the dernier resort of an in
jured people.

The proposed CamPa,gn.-lt seems
TO be the general understanding in the
country that the American army con-
centrating on the Rio Grande is for the
purpose Of invading Mexico to the very
capital Of that nation. The fact tina;
Gen. Scott has been assigned the SUI
preme command, is sufficient evidence
that something very serious is intended
The campaign will not commence pro
badly before fall, and it is sincerely de-
sired that before that time, peace viii
be established with our 5eIligerent neigh
Dor. Mexico would look with utter dis
may upon an American army advanc
ing upon her, and before an efectua
blow could be struck at the heart 0
the nation, she would bow in humiIia
ton and implore peace.

Pdro7S.-We had occasion once be,
fore to direct public attention to the fact
that it is highly important, and absolute
~ necessary 10 have, in :hIs communi-
ty, a strong and efficient patrol. We
feel ourself in duty bound again to
bring this subject to the notice Of the
public. Whose duty is it to appoint
patrols? If men in office will thus shut
their eyes to their duty, in the name
of common sense, why don't they re
sign? Why hold Office and refuse to
perform the duties Of that Officer Eve
ry good citizen has an interest in this
matter, and should speak out. If the
people in the country will suffer their
negroes to swarm to town on The Sab
bath and at night, let US whip them out
We therefore suggest that there be a
constant patrol organization kept up.

BLOCKADE OF THE PORTS OF MEXICO
ON THE PACIFIC BY AN q. S. SQUADRON
The New York Herald has the Havana
Diario of the 3Olh inst, received BY
Capt. -Wingate, Of The bark Home, just
arrived.
"Extracts are given in this journal,
containing important news from the
western or Pacific coast Of Mexico.
This account states, that the American
Government was on the point OF declar-
ing q blockade ofsihe whole Pacific coast.
and that an American squadron had ar
rived for that purpose, and was anchor
ed in the harbor Of Mazatlan. Tbe
Very Cruz Journal, under date Of April
18th, states that the National vessel
'Palomo' arrived at San Bias from Ma
zatlan, which place it left at 9 o'clock
at night, on the 28th, bringing the above
alarming accounts. All The Mexican
vessels in the ports OF the Pacific had
received orders to make their escape
before the blockade was enforced, as
well as they could. The Palomo is re.
presented as having escaped out of pori
at night, with great difficulty. The
custom houses on the coast were engag-
ed IN packing up their archives TO be
removed to Rosario. This news, which
is sworn to before the captain OF the Sar
Bias, has created asg,eat excitement ir
Mexico.
A severe thunder storm passed ovel

Drorned.-The body OF negro sup
posed to belong TO w. P. Brooks of this
vicinity, was found in the river a mile
or two below this place, on Sunday last.
The boy ran away, and it is supposed
that in attempting to cross the river he
was drowned. An inquest was held
over his body and the verdict rendered
was that the deceased came to his death
by drowning.

We clip the following from the Hol-
ly Springs Gazette.
We rather guess that several of our
most intelligent and respectable citizens
were pretty considerably gulIed by the
mysterious letters which appeared on
tie shells of couple of eggs, that were
sent TO two of our most respectable CT :
tizens on Monday last. On one of the
eggs was written in rather unusual, but
legible, characters, the words, II come
10 conquer" and on the her, "Don't
eat NE y By some chemical process
That part OF the she'll of the egg com
posing the letters was considerably ele
waited, aad appeared so natural that we
were not surprised, in this dav of hum
buggery and cre1ulity, TO hear that this
innocent and engenious little affair, had
created considerable alarm and excite
ment. Should this wonderful tale oil
the writing on the eggs reach our
friends at distance. they must not lei
their repose be disturbed thereby, as
we do assure them that it was hand
human that did the writing.

War, and The Charcoal Road.-Since
the commencement Of the war between
the U. 5. ana Mexico, an important en-
terprlse TO our portion Of the country
has been justly suffered 10 be neglected.
When the country is invaded and Amer
leans expected to vindica;e their land
and couniry's honor, sectional enter
prise must be abandoned until the ee-
ments clear up, and peace, or the pros
pecl of an early peace streakes the hori-
zon of war. We look upon The Next
can war as thing that cannot exist
much longer, unless England or some
other power comes 10 the aid Of Mexico;
and believing that she will not do it, we
would again venture 10 agitate the char
coal Road. The quota of men from
Mississippi is now made up. We shall,
therefore, hardly be called upon again
to assist in the war. All accounts from
the seat Of war and the national gov
eminent, can leave no other impress
sion than that if the contemplated inva-
sion Of Mexico shall be prosec tied, OPP
erations will not commence before fall.
We have no new arguments to spread
.elore the country. The road is a
thing that all admit should be made,
and all seem willing TO aid in making.
The friends ofthe enterprise who are
influential, should embrace every OPP
Portunity olimpressing upon the minds
of capitalists the importance Of making
investments in the stock Of the road
Enough has been aScertained Of the
! route, 10 anticipate in a measure the
prominent features of the report of the
surveyor, which we hope to lay before
our readers at an errIy day. But still,
until that document is obtained, it can
not be ascertained what the probable
cost will be. Assurances have been re-
ceived from him that an early report
may be expected, and from a survey al
ready made of eight miles ofthe worst
portion of the route, he says it IS much
better than ne had supposed.
There is one reason, in addition TO
others OF greater importance, why we
desire an early completion of this road.
1t is that we shall then have a mail
route 20 the Mississippi river, by which
we shall get news much earlier from
IN Orleans than we now do. Indeed
IN that particular it will be highly i'm
portant 10 North Mississippi. By this
road, farmers can get the earliest com
mercial news from n. Dreams, and a,
The same lime have the best facilities
for getting their crops TO market. Rav-
ing a regular mail line from the Miss
river to the east, it will, while it gives
US the latest news, give an Importance
to this section Of the country which il
cannot otherwise have.
Another Argument. In time Of war
it will be important for the transporra.
ton Of troops. If this road had been
finished, the volunteers from North
Miss. could long since have Teen in Or
leans if they had been SO disposed. But
as ii is, they would have been compell
ed to have gone by way Of Memphis OIL
] Nlcksburg TO get there. If the rescue
of Gen. Taylor had depended on som,
of the counties Of n. MISS. he and hi
army would have been cut up 1t i
then, even Of national Importance. Keel

Great Mammoth Cdre,--A cave, for
extent and granduer far surprising the
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. has been
discovered in -------- county n.
York. The description Of this wonder
(ul cave is given by correspondent of
the New York Emporium, and the edi-
tor from his knowledge Of character Of
the writer, relies implicitly upon the
correctness of it. The mouth of the
cave is at the base Of a range Of noun
:ains, and was discovered by cool cur
rent OF. air eminating from it. The
aperture was not larger than a mans
arm when found, but by digging it was
soon ascertained that it communicated
with an immense cavern, now ascer
tanned TO be the greatest wonder on

yet ascertained, as it has only been ex-

said TO out-thunder Niagara. A ridge
Of rocks has been discovered and called
the rocky mountains. The floor is of
gravel The writer who describes II
says it is fine for speaking, and at the
request Of some one, he assembled a ros-
trum and rlcited passage from Ossi-
an, and the most indistinct articulation
rolled through that great vacuum with
astonishing distinctness. We NAV
well form some idea from this Of the
effect of the discharge of pistol in it
which the writer says was SO loud that
it swelled and swayed backward and
forward with a more awful roar than
a thousand cannons discharged at once
in the open air. This is TO be the eli
max of the New Worlds wonders.

But o'cr that brow, so calm, so fair,
Had passed the finger Of despair.
He drcamcd-uot of his conquered soil.
Nor pure chill breeze of Northern
cline;
Nor forest hut, nor hunters toll,
Nor aught he loved in happier time :;
With him, such vision would not dwell
In bondage, in Il marble cell.
He dreamcd-and years had rolled
The victor, and the vanquished came,
In shadowy battles dim array,
With falnting moan, and stern ac-
claim,
Banner, and corsc. stecd, helm, and
shield,
In dark heaps strewn on Wars broad
He Saw wild myriads sweeping by,
The dread avengers lightning path
And stained and trampled Eagles lie
Beneath tic 1utr.hoSred Strangers
Then learcl his hcart-the work was
done
Brave justice, by the Goth, and Hun.
He wallcd-his hour of bitter pain,
Still to be bornc-but free, and bold,
His step, as il seryilc chain,
Ne'er touched these limbs of graceful
mould,
Then smiled, as rose the sullcn hum
OF crowds-and said" time ,oiU come"
One glance, one cold, keen glance,

kind of Cotton sold for sixteen cents in

other Cottons OF superior quality sold for
eight cents. Compete mt judges have pro-
nounced the Mastodon to be equal to the
Sea Island Cotton, both in beauty of tex
turc and length Of fibre, and with this
greater advantage, that it will mature well
on the Uplands of the Cotton growing
