Having examined the system of Penman-
ship as taught by MIR. T. d. KErcHAm, we
have no hesitation in pronouncing it superior,
in our estimation, to any other in practice
The freedom of the hand and fingers from
all constTaint as must be evident, and an
examination of its principles, is sufficient
evidence in its favor. As far as his discipc
line has come under our observation, we
think his mode of teaching properly adapted
TO the science of his system. We therefore
recommend him 10 the public.

MATAMoRos, June %.

Yesterday evening the steamer Ne
va got up steam, and crossed the river
to the encampment Of the 7th infan-
try, for the purpose of taking three OF
its companies to Reynosa, and after
getting them on board, and all things
in readiness for a start, Gen. Taylor
sent an order to her captain to remain
until morning, and about 7 o'clock he
ordered committee to examine her
engine, and report whether she was
in a condition to trust his men on
board.
The committee decided that she was
not a safe conveyance, and the old
General Immediately commanded his
men to 20 on shore again, saying, il
they were to loose their lives, it would
be better to do il in action. The late
unprecedented heavy rains, which
have completely filed the prairies
with water, and the unfitness of the
boat, have stopped, for the time, any
movement of the army.
1t seems to be the general impress
sion in camp that Paroles will give
our army another brush ere long
That he is on his way to this region is
not doubted-that he can muster an
army Of $4,000 men, is pretty gener-
ally believed, and if he does succeed
in raising so large body of troops,
and General Taylor advances on Mon.
terey, pretty severe fight is certain
to ensue. The General wears his lau,
rels very calmly. .Honors are easy
with him, but he is chatting a good deal
about being kept here with large
body Of troops, unable to act against
the enemy.

Horrid attempt at murder By a
BOy.-A brutal attempt at murder,
was made by boy named Geo.
Slaughter, aged about l6 years, at
Patchoguc, Suffolk county. He had
been sent on an errand, aud having
made up his mind to run away, wanted
money. With the object Of obtaining,
it, he entered ,..e house of Ruth Bell,
widow, living in the town of lslioi
and after making some inquiry about a
hoe that he said had been left there by
one of the neighbors, followed Mrs.
Bell into the house, seized her by the
throat, and demanded her money
He then threw her down and attempt
ed to cut her throat with jack knife,
In the struggle she drew the knife from
his hands, and with it inflicted a severe
wound in his side. He then reached
brick aud ma!anced beating her on
the head. At length becoming alarm,
ed BY the barking ola dog he fled from
the house. He was arrested and con-
fessed his guilt. 1t is doubtful whether
he or Mrs. Bell will recoyer.-Ro-

From tie Rio Gyande. - Extract
Of letter, dated
PoINT ISABEL, July 8.

Po1NT ISABEL, July 8.
"A rumor prevails in camp that a
portion Of the Louisiana volunteers are
soon to be disbanded, and though they
have been assured that such will no.
probably be the case, they are quite
uneasy about it. A few because they
want to 60 home and fear the rumor is
not well founded, but most of them be-
cause they desire to stay and see the
thing OUT "Where can we mover
Can we ever get fight out of thern?'
are the questions constantly put to per-
sons coming from Gen. Taylor's quar-
tiers.
That large portion of the army
will soon move toward Monterey can
no longer be doubted, as boats enough
Of light draught have arrived to war
rant General Taylor in taking posses
sion of the country between the mouth
of the river and that place.
The road we came over last night
| mean the wagon road between PIT.
Isabel and Matamoros, is still impassa-
BILE for loaded wagons, and it is won
der to me how a tight wagon can be
dragged over it. From the river to the
Palo Alto, some nine miles, there is
not, altogether, half mile of hard
road. The mud is generally a foot
deep, and in some places two or three
feet deep, and there is at least four
miles of water, in many places hardly
fordable for horses. The gentlemen
who accompanied me down, captured a
gar-fsh on Six Mile Prairie, between
the battle fields, the other day, nearly
thirteen feet long. | passed over the
same place 4 or five times when il was
perfectly dry, with no appearance of
having been ever overflowed. At the
Resaca dc la Palma, where, as you
will observe on the map, a road passes
between the ponds, there is now but
one pond, and that is deep enough any
where for respectable sized steam
boat to pass through it. The Palo Al
to battle field is two-thirds covered
with water.

fire was discovered breaking out from
that part OF Niblo's Garden, corner oil
Broadway and Prince street, occupied
as seed and flower store, which was
principally destroyed with its contents,
before the flames were extinguished.

nearly suflocated to a place of safety.
But for the timely aid of the officers
