Interesting News.

The New Orleans mail which was due
las night having failed, we extract from
the Charleston Courier the subjoined In
teresting intelligence from Vera Cruz,
which we find transferred to that paper
from the New Orleans Times Of the 3eth
ultimo.
1t is important, as putting at rest, for
the present, all prospect OF eflecting a
peace through the medium oGnegoiation.
General Scott was to have marched on
the capital on the 18th ultimo, and we
shall, doubtless, in few days be in re-
ceipt of intelligence Of exciting interest.

il seems he must have met with some OBJ
stacles from guerrillas, His force, how
ever, was SO overwhelming strong
three thousand men, with one hundred
and fifty wagons-that he no doubt brush
ed away these predatory bands with ease.
In reference to this, we learn that two
hundred men, who set forth from Vera
Cruz after the train which left a few days
before were attacked a short distance from
Santa Fe. The Mexicans had a strong
force, but were defeated.
BURNING OF SASTA FE.-Iieut. Fitz-
gerald had been sent on an expedition
with twenty-five men. They went 10
Santa Fe, took away some provisions be-
longing TO the army, and set fire TO that
town, place Of refuge 70 guerrillas.
VoMITo.-This disease, the terror Of
foreigners in Vera Cruz, still continues
its ravages, but it is quite certain that the
health olthe city has immensely improved
in comparison with that during the past
years, through the enlightened measures
introduced by the Americans. The Board
Of Health are unceasing in their labors and
mitigate the ravages of this horrid scourge.
Gov. WnsoN.-We are sorry TO learn
that the Governor of Vera Cruz was Ia
ken suddenly and alarmingly i'll on the
morning of the 22d instant. We trust
that he has recovered before this.
TABAsco.-Commodore Perry has a
gain left Anton Lizardo, for Tabasco, and
it is reported that the further occupation
of that place is TO be. for the present, a
bandoned.

ROCHESTER EDGE Tools IN ENGLAND.
Some time since, says the Scientific
American, Mr.. Ash, an extensive manu-
facturer of mechanics tools at Sheffield,
England, sent 10 this country for patterns
of the latest Improvements, and amongst
the rest, ordered variety from Mcssrs.
Barton & Belden, of Rochester, which
were promptly forwarded. On their ar
rival there, il seems that their make gives
such universal satisfaction, they were inn

came from this country made prominent
by stamping upon them Rochester Pat

STEAM Hop CARRIER.-The contract
ors on the Bay Stale mills now hoist
their brick and mortar by steam. A small
engine is stationed in he lower story Of
the mill, to which is appended and end
less chain running from the engine to the
floor upon Which the workmen are en-
gagged. To the chain the hods Of brick
and mortar are fastened by nook which
is firmly affixed to the hod. On arriving
at the top the tenders take the hods from
the chains and carry them to any desired
part Of the building. A man stands near
the engine 10 take off the empty hods as
they approach the floor by the downward
side of the chain. Tie labor Of about
twenty-five men is saved by this inge-
nious invention, which was first adopted
to this purpose, we understand at Lowell
last summer.-Lawrence Cour-

NARROW EscAPE.-This Saturday
afternoon, as the steamboat train of cars
from Hartford was entering the city, and
had reached this side of the railroad bridge
the cow-catcher picked up a little girl a
bout ten years old, and carried her about
twenty-five rods. AS soon as the brakes
could be brought TO bear, the train was
stopped, and the child jumped off and ran.
She was walking on the track, and a
curve in the road, our informant states,
prevented her being seen in season to a.
void the collision. We did not learn 10
what extent she was injured, OF her name
but presume she could not have been very
seriously hurt, from the fact of her being
able to leave without assistance.-New

SUMNER EVENING MUSINGS.
BY "THEoDoRIc."

The pearly dew of evening
Had decked the herbs and flowers,
That shone with radiance lovely,
In the forests sylvan bowers.
The birds their songs were warbling,
Their songs of joy and praise;
They welcomed in the evening,
In hopes of brighter days.
The sun was sinking slowly
Behind the western sky;
And as he vanished from my sight,
Hrs last rays burst on high.
His beams are always brightest
When he bids the world goodbye;
The silverv swan sings sweetest
When he folds his wings to die.
Thus thought /, sadly musing,
And gazing on this scene;
So mournful, yet SO lovely,
So sad, yet so serene.
When death has sent his summons
To bid the wanderer come,
Let gentle breezes watt me
Thus sweetly to my home.
will not pine and sorrow
When he calls my soul away,
I'll look to a glad morrow
A better, brighter day.

A TOUCHING INcIDHNT.-A little boy,
named William Hunter, had been for
some months i'll, at the Massachusetts
General Hospital, and his mother was
with him. On Thursday evening he
sent for the superintendent, and asked
him to pray by his bedside. Then, after
many thanks for his kindness, he said,
81 shall die tomorrow morning, and am
not afraid TO die; brt Oh! do pray for my
mother" During the night, he made re-
peated inquiries, as with earnest longings
for the approach of dav. Morning came
and the child, sunk into the deep, sweet
sleep, from which he never woke on
earlh.-Boston Jour.

Speculation in Whiskers;
Or, Shaving I'm a Brokers Office
BY SOL. SMITH.

There lived in Milledgeville, in 1882, a
dandified individual, whom we will call
jerks. This individual had tolerably
favorable opinion of his personal appear
ance. His fingers were hooped with rings,
and his shirt bosom was decked with a
magnificent breast-pin; coat, hat, vest and
boots, were made exactly TO 6t; he wore
kid gloves of remarkable whiteness, his
hair was oiled and dressed in the latest
and best stylc-and to complete his Kill
ling appearance, he sported an enormous
pair of REAL WHISPERS OF these whis-
kers jerks was as proud as young cat is
of her tail, when she first discovers she
has one.
was sitting one day in brokers' Of
flee, when jerks came in to inquire the
price OF exchange on New York. He
was invited to sit down, and cigar was
offered. Conversation turning on the
subject OF buying and selling stocks, re-
mark was made by gentleman present,
that he thought no person should sell out
stock in such-and-such a bank at that
time, as it MUST get better in few days.
Il will sell ANY thing Eve got, if can

BY IL. M. KLAPP.
Father, earth's a pleasant place,
Sweet-sweet to me
There is freshness on her face
Music on her sea!
Boy! death is on her face!
Death within her waves!
Call you earth a pleasant place,
Grcen-green with graves!
Father life's pleasant thing!
Mortal lot is fair!
Fen the birds above us sing
"Joy lives in air -
Woe, beiimes, the heart shall ring,
Frailty faith impair;
Call you life pleasant thing,
Full-full of care!
