the evening of the 9Th of May, from Resacca
de la Palma in an open boat-and By the way,
he was the first that did cross-Padre Lera
priest of Camargo, on horseback, dashed in be-
hind him. His reverence lost his balance and
was preeipitated into the river, when addressing
the brave General, he exclaimed, "Help me,
general-help me or drown!" "Drown and
be d-d!'' said the General, "don't you see
those Yankee yelling hell-hounds close behind
u.s." This is the literal Interpretation Of the
Generals pious reply
When the "brave" General Ampudia reach
ed Matamoras in his retreat from Resacca de la
Palma beautiful Sonora of the city was the
first he met. "My men," he said, "madam, :"

behind hemm
Among she trophies brought from General
Taylor's camp by the Legislative committee;
were six or eight spears or laucers, number of
swords and cutlasses, large box of shells,
balls, &c, which were taken from the Mexicans
and deposited in Fort Brown
Some Of the toasts given at the dinner in
Arista' S Head-Q Quarters, were drank with excel
lent wine, which had formerly been served at
Arista IS own table, and as a cockney would say,
very good wine it was.
When Ampudia arrived in Matamoros, on
meeting Captains Thornton, Hardee and Kane,
to convince them that although not wounded
himself, he had been in the thlckest of the fight,
he exhibited the marks of some shot which had
struck the back part of his saddle. When he
retired the officers remarked that the balls must
have struck while he was retreating as they
seemed to have come directly in his rear
They were what would be called among the
river boatmen so many licks back.
During the bombardment of Fort Brown
there was woman in the Fort, the wife of one
of the privates, who regularly and attentively,
the whole time, piled the men at the guns with
coffee and other refreshments, while they piled
the Mexcans with shot She gave Uncle
Sans boys gunpowder (tea) while they helped
the Mexicans to some grape. Where the shot

shell. She is large athletic woman, having
frame well proportioned to her big generous
heart, She is now the favorite of the whole
army, and being native of Indiana the soubri-

ton from the State Legislature, the Great Wcs-
tern was toasted with all the honors, although
exposure to the sun has made her already

Her arms e'er victorious shall be,
While honor and right point the way;
For where the heart beats proud and free,
The arm becomes strong in the fray.

And let the glad strain rRnd the sky;
All hail TO our own native land,

O'efshadowed the face of the world
|Behold!-what dawning oflight,
When Libelty's flag was unfurl'd!
|The war drum was heard in the west,
And man in his majesty rose;
The spark that was hid in his breast,
Burst forth a death flame on his foes!
Chorus Then, join, Freemen, join, &c.
"Be free!" cried the genius ofright,
"And teach new doctrine to all,
Shed over the world a new light,
And bid the pent soul burst its thral!''
A bright star arose-the decree
Went forth from the throats of our guns;
A charter was signed for the free,
The birthright of Liberty's sons.

While Peace strews her blessings around,
And Pl nty springs up from the earth.

The ODD FELLOWS AND CHAPLAINs. The
Philadelphia Eagle says, that the Grand Lodge
of the |. o. ofO. F. Pennsylvania, at one of
its late communications, to prevent, as far as
possible, sectarian jealousies from creeping into
the Order, decided against the election or ap-
pointment ola permanent or standing Chaplain
in thatbody ,or in any ofts subordinate Lodges.
While, however, the Grand Lodge has thought
proper to decide as above, it has reserved to il
fthe right, and delegated the same to its sub
ordinates, Of appointing, from time to time,
any clerical brother, in good standing in the
Order, Chaplain, for funeral aud other particu-
lar occasions, such as the laying ofcorncr stones

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-.4 Mother Murdered by
her Son. A young man named James Fields,
is in Jail in Leavenworth county, Ind, charged
with the murder of his own mother. The Ban
ner says;
The fend in human shape had taken his
mother to support-to live with him,-he to
prov ide, she TO do the house work. Thus they
lived until the old lady's health became so i'm
paired that she was scarcely able to leave her
bed, when one day, (Sunday, June 7th,) he
came in and ordered her out of bed to get him
some dinner, "and be damn quick about it, for
he was going to shoot her." The old lady o.
beyed the injunction; and whilst she was bend
ing over the fire preparing his meal, he took the
barrel of pistol loaded with powder and ball,
and with a coal fire he set it otf-the ball
took effect in the upper part of the thigh, and
ranged through into the abdomen. She fell
bleeding on the floor, where she lay while this
demon and murderer endeavored to stop the
blood by filling the wound with tow and salt,
and washing her with cold water and spirits
He then let her lay till the next day noon hid
in his bed behind blanket, which hung be-
tween her and himself, that his eyes need not
meet the dying and supplioating looks of the
mother. On Monday she became SO much
worse he called in the neghbors AS they came
he fled; but justice pursued and overlook him,
and he is now in custody awaiting his trial at
our next District Court.

VALUE OF ANTHRACITE Coal ASHES. We
see it stated that ashes from anthracite coal
were applied on the grass lands in New Jersey
last spring, at the rate of fifty bushels per
acre, and Notwithstanding the unprecedented
drought, they were the means of doubling the
crop of grass. AS there are more or less hard
cndels in these ashes, after spreading them on
the grass lands, it would be well to pass roll
Ter over the meadow in order to sink the Gin
ders in the ground, out of the way Of the edge
of the scythe.

SELF-ADJusTING RAIL ROAD BREAK. Mr.
Edwin Thayer, of Chatham, Columbia county,
N. Y, has invented Self-Adjustng Break, by
means of which it is believed that collisions
upon Rail Roads may be entirely obviated.-
This invention places the whole train under
the immediate control of the Engineer, who,
by touching lever breaks the speed of each
car. Many accidents occur suddenly before
the Breakmcn can get to their stations. Mr..
Thayers plan according to the Albany Jour
nal by arresting the whole train Simultaneous
ly, prevents the crushing of cars by running
into each other.

"Mr. ---, please withdraw with the prs-

counsel as may be best for his interest. -
The lawyer and his client withdrew; and in
fifteen or twenty minutes the lawyer returned
into court alone. where is the prisoner!'
asked the court. 'He has gone, your hondr,'
said the hopeful limb. 'You told me to give
him the best advice could for his interest;
and as he said he was guilty, thought the
best counsel could offer him, was to cut and
rum which he took at once. He is id Jersey,
