servator, Of the Sd Instant. and who, from once
powerful body, are now dwinded down 10 some
half dozen degraded beings, engaged themselves
last week in the solemn Office Of capital punish
ment. 1t has been long known that one OF the
family in drunken brawl killed another, and
that punishment must follow, hut the murderer
and the friends OF the murdered, have for months
visited aud camped together upon equal terms,
apparently enjoying the most perfect social inter-
course On Saturday last, = the poor wretches
covered with rags, and scarcely provided with
food 10 keep their souls and bodies together, cam

and commenced the solemn ceremoniaIs OF funer-

fall. the preparations were finished, and the poor
Indian exposed his naked breast--a load of buck
shot, fred by his nearest relative, pierced his
heart, and he fell corpes.-N Nearly three days
were consumed " weeping over his grave, and

TRIsr's MISSION TO MExIco.-The des.
patches sent to Gen. Taylor by Mr. Trist, contain
the ultimate views OF the government in relation
to peace or the continuance OF the war, and it is
now determined that propositions tor peace here
after must come from Mexico, and if they are
not speedily made, there appears to be no doubt
that the instructions to Gen Scott and Gen Tay-
Tor are TO march to the capital The offer is said
to be less stringent IS regards Mexico than the
previous offer made through Mr. Atocha. Rumor
says the offer proposes line drawn due West to
the Pacific from the mouth of the Rio Grande-
that is to sav-the parallel OF 25. This would
give us Coahula, chihuahua, Sonora, New Mex
leo, and the CALIFORNIA;. with a population OF
about half million, and an area of more than
one million of square miles. The sum, ac .ording
to rumor, has been increased from Is to 20 mil.

the expenses of the war being yielded our gov

ports and revenue on the Pacific and the Gulf,

been fulfilled by Mexico. ltths be really the
new offer, we take for granted it will be reject

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

We have dates from the Brasos to the
18th ultimo. Gen. Taylor was at Mon
tercy on the 5th, while the army remain
ed at its old position under Gen. Wool.
Gen. Taylor was pushing up supplies
from Camargo to Saltillo with all rapidi-
ty, and with a view to a forward move
ment upon San Luis. Men onlywill be
wanting for that purpose.
The volunteers are returning towards
the mouth Of the Rio Grande as their
terms of service are expiring. The right
wing of the Kentucky Legion had reach
ed the Brasos and was awaiting there the
arrival of the other wing, prior to sailing
for New Orleans. We learn that none
of the volunteers scarcely are re-enlisting.

TRADE ON OUR PUBLIC WORKS.

The Pennsylvania canal and rail road
is putt 10 its utmost capacity of lis motive
power. The amount of produce passing
on this line is unprecedented in any for
mer year. The bbl. Pork, formerly sent
by New Orleans, has this year all came
by this route, particularly that for the
English market. The large amount of
this has kept the bacon back, and up to
this time the amount of bacon sen is
much less than in the same time last year.
The same remark may apply TO Tobac-
co. The amount Of toll received at the
Office up TO the Both of April for freight
is 1873 per ct. over that of 1916 up TO the
same period. The amount received this
year being $4,000 to $4,000 received
in 1916. This is caused in a great mea-
sure by the high freights by sea, which
has thrown an immense and unusual a
mount upon our public works. The a
mount paying tolls up to that period at
this Office is 40,435,000 lbs.-Pittsburgh

DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND
DEAD.

A letter from London to the New York
Journal of Commerce, gives an account
Of the death of the Duke Of Northumber-
laud-one of the richest peers OF Eng
land. He died suddenly in his bed, at
night, having merely suffered a few days
attack from influenza. Il is al awful
thought to reflect that all the enormous
wealth Of this noble mantle defendant
Of the renowned Percvs-with an in
come averaging from 1900 to 3,000
pounds daily, perfectly unencumberod-
could not procure him a single hand to
close his ewes, for which he might have
grasped and breathed '.fare well" His
grace died without issue, and is succeeded
in his titles and possessions, by bis
brother Lord Prudhoe. Though not a
man Of great abilities. the late Duke held
the high office of Chancellor OF the Uni
versity of Cambridge.
He also had been Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, ambassador to the court of 81.
Petersburg, an especial envoy 10 France
at the coronation Of the Hated Charles
tenth. During the latter embassy he re-
fused TO receive any public money for
outfit, or for anything else though a dia-
