pouring into Camargo by land and river Capt.

chiefly composed oficperos and jurochos-the
lowest classes ofthe cross breeds-who have
been taken in CHAINS to the capital, and there,
in their half naked state, they are furnished
with musket, and taught roughly and tough

%*** The steamer Mississippi arrived here
this morning from Vera Cruz and brings
news that the castle and city and several of
the provinces have declared in favor of Santa
Ana, and that he was looked for daily in the
British steamer Hector. 1t is said to be Com
modore Corners intention to make him pris-
oner on his arrival, in consequence of his a.
vowal that he should take part in the war a.
gainst the United States. He will, however,
think, have sense enough to land IN Mexi-
co, in some small port where we have no YES
sells This is substantially all the news she
brings, and iftrue, we may expect from San
ia Ana's tirinness 81 decision ofcharacter that
ne may prolong the war and give our troops
another chance ofadding to their laurels.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.

DREADFUL EAPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.
The Pottsville Miners Journal of the 29th

which took place on the afternoon ofWednes-
day last, at the colliery worked by Mr.. George
klch, on the West branch of the Nit. Carbon
road, known as Lewis vein, which was most
disastrous in its results. 1t was followed by
what is known to miners as choke damp, and
black or after damp, by which eight men
were overpowered. So violent was it that for
long time no assistance could be extended
to them successfully, and Mr. Rich, the ow-
ner, who entered for this purpose, was near
falling victim to his philanthropy. At last
they were extricated, six of them perfectly in
sensible, one, named John Tiley. dead, aud
long after yet another, who, though in longer
than any of the rest, was yet recovered. Mr..
Rich hmselfwas, for long time in state of
unconsciousness and delirium, but is recover
ing, as are all who were taken from the shaft
ailve. The scene was of heartfelt interest
the prostration of the sufferers the dismay of
the spectators. and the agony of the families
of the injured men, presented one of those
scenes personswho do not live in mining dis
tricts can form no adequate idea of.
