MAJOR GAINEs.-The Picayune of the
18th instant contains a letter from Major
Gaines to his brother in New Orleans, dated
"Castle of Santiago, city of Mexico, April
g." from which we make the following ex-
tracts:
"We reached the vicinity of this place on
the 9th, when our conductors. learning that
the civil war had broken out, detained us at
point three leagues of, for day and
half-to preserve us from the mob, as they
said, but, as we found out, to save themselves,
as, not knowing which party was uppermost,
they did not know to which they belonged.
We reached the castle after midnight, and
were struggled into it with great privacy.
A few moments after we entered, an alarm
was raised by the discharge of four guns in
rapid succession. We heard some one say
four men were killed, and ten had escaped.
We now ascerianed that we were lodged in
prison containing two hundred convicted
felons. The escape made il necessary to
change their cells, and they were brought
out and passed through the yard where we
were, chained two and two, and placed in
safer dungeons. The fight was ye, raging in
the city; and shall never forget my enlree
into the city of the Azlees."
"Although in the city of Mexico, have
seen but little of it-and that little through
the iron gratings Of the castle Of Santiago.
Whether we shall be INDUCED with view
of it after our release, know not. trust
We shall"
1t will be recollected that Santa Anna had
engaged with Gen. Taylor for the release Of
Major Gaines and his fellow-prisaners but
he has proven unmindful ofthe Obligation
We sincerely trust that, ere this, some ef-
fectual measures have been adopted to en-
force the redemption of the pledge, in the
liberation of our gallant countrymen i'm
INJURED in the dungeons of Mexico. The
faithlessness and inhumani,y of their captors
are enough to make the blood boil in every
heart Wash. .News.

Most High God, will attend to those mat
tiers of oppression, which we cannot attend
to ourselves. And doubt not, He will one
day make it appear, that he governs the
world better than is supposed, and that they
who in one cline, supervise the affairs of
their Christian brethren in other climes,
switch say, stand by myself, come not near
me; for | am holer than thou - care a
smoke in his nose, fire that burseM all the
day."
Sir, if the States are sovereign, submit
that they ought so to be respected; and that
this distinction should be kept prominently
in view, none the less, but the rather, be-
cause the locomotive, and the magnetic tele-
graph transgress the lines of State demarka-
ton with such contemptuous swiftness -
none the less, but rather, because we are
increasing, and, trust, are destined to in
crease, till, as our States severally equal the
States of Europe in territorial extent, so
they may yet equal them in population,
wealth, and every trait of Narional great
ness.

SMITHSONIAN INsTIruTIoN-We learn
from the Saturday Evening News that a
number of stone masons are busily engaged
in building the foundation of this capacious
and stately edifce. A blacksmith's shop
has already been built, also lime house
and large sheds for the stone masons and
granite cutters. An office for the use of the
architect is now in the course of erection,
with other convenient buildings for the use
of the assistant architect, and Messrs. Dixon
and Cameron, the contractors. Carpenters
are also at work putting up substantial
fence, which will enclose the whole ground
marked out for the Institute. There are
not less we believe than about fifty persons,
including mechanics and laborers, who are
now at work within the enclosure, and
other hands, we learn from the contractors,
will be speedily added to the number.

PRorEsTANIsM AND RoMANIsM.-In one
of DR.. Baird's recent discourses in Boston.
speaking of the present condition of Spain,
he says-"In the single city ofSeville, con-
tanning population Of 10000, there were
once seventy monasteries now there are
but three. 1t is so over the country of
Spain. In the Protestant country, the pap
lists buy up church property In Roman
Catholic Spain they sell it. In the two most
Protestant countries in the world, England
and the United States, Romanism is rapidly
increasing. In Spain and Italy, two of the
most Roman Catholic countries in the
world, there are strong tendencies towards
Protestanism. Truly, it is an age Of extra
ordinary changes.''
