MURDER.-Mr. Edward Mathews, former
publisher of the Yankee Blade, was lately
murdered at Wateryille, Me-, for his money:
of which he was supposed to have had about
his person about $4,000. His body was dis
covered in en- out-hoBse az Waferville,
where it had the appearance Of having been
dragged after the deed was done. His skull
was broken, and his face and body gashed
and disfigIred- No suspicion whatever as
to the perpetrators had fastened on any one
at the last accounts.

E5- As the magnificent steamer Hibernia,
No. 2, was on her last downward trip, fire
was discovered in her hold, and upon raising
the matches, the flames burst out and as
ccnded nearly to the hurricane deck, threat
ening almost certain destruction. There
were three hundred passengers on board,
women and children, and the alarm is said
TO have been terrible. The captain, a cool,
energetic man, set all hands TO work to save
the boat, and the lives of the passengers,
and by seutiling, &c., the fire was extin-
guished.
The fire Is said to have originated from the
explosion Of some chemicals that were in
the bold. To the horror Of all on board. it
was discovered that some half burned casks
marked coffee, contained kegs 81 gunD0tcder,
surrounded by coffee, and the sfGres Of one
poirder keg vas actually charTed - It
seems almost a miracle that the boat was not
blown TO atoms, and three hundred souls
usherd into eternity 0ae shndders al the
very thought Of such imminent peril.
There Is no punishment known IN law
sufficiently severe for the person who made
this nlurderonsly deceptive shipment. Who
was IL Let hun be known 70 the world

From Mexico.

A letter in the Washington Union says:-
Scott went to the city on the 18th, and en-
tered on a road the MeXicans little thought
he would.
1t was rainy night, that about 10000
leperos with all sorts of arms, and 10000
women, with stones, together with the army,
endeavored to stop the Americans.
A letter from Vera Cruz, dated Sept. 81,
says:-The Mexican Government, in at
tempting to treat with Mr.. Trist, offered us
nine miles up the Del Norte from the mouth,
and from thence to a certain point, the land
between the Bravo and Neuces should re-
main neutral, and from that point line par
lallel with 81 lat, thus giving us the bay of
San Francisco and little to the south.
The Union of Saturday night says:-The
Mexicans insist upon world of indemnifi-
Ications-for what our army has done in their
towns and villages, for the losses sustained
by the people in the country. Even the
mischiefs perpetrated by their own guerril-
las we are to make good As TO territory
aud boundaries, they are equally short of
the mark. They first demanded that no
part of the territory between the Bravo and
the Neuces was to be considered as a part
of Texas. Then, they appear so far to
have modified their propositions, that after
running line few leagues from the coast
from the Bravo to the Neuces, they run up
the middle of that river (the Neuces) till
they strike the 37th degree of latitude and
thence to the Pacific ocean.
TRATNs FROM VERA CRUz.-From the
mass of confused accounts and contradictory
statements received by three mails, we are
pnp,nnltad IN eppbat.aa xxbaf 10,
the most reliable facts relative to the move
ment of reinforcements from Vera Cruz.
A long letter in the Delta states that the
first train left under the command of Lieut..
Col. Hughes, and had taken complete pos
session of the National Bridge, after twenty
four rounds of shot and shell, scattering
Father-J arauta's guerrillas with confusion
and dismay.
The next train of forty-seven wagons,
escorted by some of the. I'd Illinois, under
Capt. Fairchild, had reached the National
Bridge in safety.
The third train left Sept. 10. 1t consisted
of thirty wagons and an escort of $50 troops,
under Capt. Hentzleman.
The fourth train of seventy-fiye wagons
and $50 men, the Ohio and Indiana regi-
ments, with $50 regulars, under Gen. Lane,
left Vera Cruz Sept. 18th. These forces
must have relieved Mai. Lally by the Gath
Sept, and COL Childs at Puebla by the SOth.
The report in letters to La Patria that Col.
Childs had surrendered Puebla without
much fighting, is not very probable. There
is a strong fort outside, and completely
commanding the city, which could be held
against any Mexican force, and Col. Chlds
is not an officer to surrender without fight
ing. 1t is doubtless true, however, that
Puebla is surrounded by host of guer-
illas.
These reinforcements, if they all arrive,
viii not fill up SCOTS army to the amount
which left Puebla.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
YPNILANTI SENTINEL,
VOLUME FOUR.

In coming before the public with the fourth Vol.
of the "Sentinel" we find favorable opportunity OF
sketching slight programme of our intentions,
which we shall endeavor to fill during the year. We
have been Aattered more during the year just rast
with the satisfaction expressed by our patrons than
by any considerable increase ofour subscription list
So great are the obstacles which country press has
to contend with that il must necessarily win its way
slowly into public favor. In this respect we trust
we have made some advance. With the greater
experience we now have of the peculiar tastes OF our
reading community, we hope to advance still farther.
The "Sentinel" will continue to advocate the
measures of the Wing party so far as those meas
ures are now developed; nor do we apprehend the
adoption Of any doctrine by that party which our
private Judgment shall force US to oppose;-yeti in
the events of the future hold sacred the rights of
private opinions. Its political features shall, howey
er be kept at all times, free from personality and
unfair argument.
Should our patronage soon warrant it we shall
make considerable addition to the amount of our
political reading, but cannot promise this except
on the condition of largely increased subscription
In MISCELLANEOUS READING we trust we shall be
able to please the young. the middle aged, and the
old. For this purpose increasing the amount and
selecting it for wider range of the current ltera-
ture of the day than heretofore.
We shall be constantly on the look out for the
richest jokes of Punch, Judy, Yankee Doodle, and
kindred humorists, while the whole troop of elite
rary' periodicals will be made to yield their choicest
gems We should be glad if we were able to prom
Use something original in this line, and we trust that
we may be able to find in the course of the year,
if it will not be held back because We are not oh
ligatcd by promise to produce it.
| Our GENERAL lNTELLIGENcE will be copious, cor.
rect, and early. The various and multfarous de.
signs of a weekly journal we shall endeavor in shor
TO fulfill 70 the best ofour ability: of which the pub
lie have now had some two years experience.
| We trust that we shall now see an increased in.
terest taken in the Sentinel by those whose inter
ests are advanced. and the importance of whose
place of residence is enhanced by its continuance
With the expiring hero we say, if we have done
well, "Give US your applause"
