From the New York Herald.
Highly Imp ortant from the Seat
of War.

The New Orleans Picayune Extra, issued
at noon on the 9TH inst, announces the airl-
val of the steamship New Orleans,from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed 1st inst. She touch
ed at Brazos on the 4th.
Gen. Scott had left Jalapa at the head of
six thousand troops. Gen. Twiggs and his
division entered Puebla on the 29th.
1t was not positively known, but supposed,
that Gen. Scott would advance on the capital
with his present force.
Authentic news has been received that San
ia Anna had resigned the Presidency on the
2Sth, but it was not known whether Congress
had accepted the resignation or not. He took
the step, in consequence Of opposition to his
views of the defence of the capital, and de-
famatory articles in the public prints. Santa
Anna commenced fortilying Gaudaloupe in
person, and Mojicaezingo, near the suburbs
but unusual disapprobation was manifested
and his resignation followed 1t was believed
that his resignation would be accepted, and
Herrera nominated. About three thousand
troops were collected at the capital.
The American army was generally expect
ed at Mexico on the 18th of the present month
and but slight resistance was anticipated.
Exciting rumors prevailed at Vera Cruz,
from Puebla, to the effect that the citizens had
risen upon Gen. Worth, and cut off six or
seven hundred of his men. The rumor was
in every mans mouth, and much evidence
given to support it. The Picayune and the
Vera Cruz correspondent are skeptical.
The murder of Col Sowers's party, officers
and men, is confirmed.
A wagon master and a quarter masters
clerk named Lathropc supposed to have been
murdered between Camargo and Monterey
are prisoners in the city of Mexico.
Suspicious are entertained at Jalapa OF an
attempt to retake the place. Further rob-
berries have been perpetrated between Vera
Cruz and Jalapa, and the Ranchero force on
the route is estimated at five hundred.
A private letter from Jalapa says that Col
Lawrence, bearer of dispatches, and one of
his escort were killed on the Vera Cruz road
| This is doubtless mistake for Sewers.
About eight officers and men came passen,
gers in the New Orleans from Vera Cruz
and the Brazos. Major Hammond, paymas
ter, a passenger, died on the I'd instant.
Later dates from Gen. Taylors army bring
nothing important
The Massachusetts, regiment had started fol
Monterey.
Lieut. Col. Wright was elected Col, Major
Abbott, Lieut.. Col, and Capt. Webster, Major
of the Massachusetts, regiment
Part of Col Deniphan's force had arriv
ed at Saltillo. The whole force was expected
in a few days.
The speedy movement of General Taylor
on San Luis Potosi was spoken of, and wa
daily expected.

Later from Mexico.

The New York Courier publishes the oflic-
ial resignation, by Santa Anna, OF the office
of President of Mexico.
The New Orleans papers of the 10th inst,
state that Santa Anna has written another
letter, stating that he would positively resign
the office of President unless his plans for
the defence of the city of Mexico were adopt
ed.
Acknowledgements from Mexico had been re-
ceived. The greatest activity prevailed
among all classes of the inhabitants of the city
of Mexico, and strenuous endeavors were
making to place the capital in proper state
of defence.
The Picayune publishes Santa Annals de-
snatch to the President substitute, urging a
vigorous prosecution of the war until ample
Justice is obtained for the unjust aggression
of the United States, and declaring that the
salvation of the capital is indispensable, and
proposing to resign his Office of commander
in-chief and first magistrate, if necessary
The same paper also gives Anaya's reply, CO
NEEDING with the views of Santa Anna, and
inviting him to take formal possession of the
capital.
Nothing is mentioned in the papers at the
! capital in regard to Santa Annals reception
whether stoned or insulted by the populac'
or not. His countryman are evidently in
dienant at his repeated failures.
There is nothing indicating design OF San
ia Anna on the Presidency.
The election was determined, so far as tn
States were concerned, on the 9TH ult.
f The results are not known, and Congress
may have to elect President
All the accounts received tend to show tina
t there will be a hard struggle before the cit
: can be taken by Gen. Scott. He woul
h doubtless be opposed at Rio Frio.

A HARD CASE. As we are Informed, Mr.
Ephraim Blood, of Orwell, revolutionary
pensioner, who lived to the age of 49, and
whose death has been announced in this pa
per, at the age of 70 married a second wife,
who was 16 years of age. A short time after
this marriage, as the old man was in the pas
ture examining young colt, the mother Of
the colt threw her heels at the supposed in
truder, knocking both eyes out of his head,
and demoishing the bridge of his nose. The
old warrior would not surrender at such an
attack, but survived until the time named,
partially raising in the intervening time a
family of five children! Can this be beat?

Late from Cape Verde Islands.

Ferdinand Gardiner, Esq, for many years
! the able and efficient U. S. Consul, died at
Port Praya, May 6, of the country fever. His
last request, to be inferred in the American
burying ground, was refused, his family being
Roman Catholics-conseque he was bu-
ried in the Catholic Cemetery. Commodore
I Read found it necessary to appoint an Agent
in his place, and selected very capable Por-
tuguesc, formerly the British and now the
French agent, named William Pexoto, to act
until the government appointment is made.
As the place is dangerous for an unacclimated
American or European, hope is expressed
that Senior PeiXoto may be permanently ap-
pointed.
There was a volcanic eruption about the
LIST of April, on the Island Of Fogo, (of the
Cape Verde Group,) which continued ten or
fifteen days, throwing out showers of earth
and stones to a great height, and emitting
huge streams of lava, which running down
the mountain, destroyed many houses and
plantations, and caused some loss of life. All
vegetation, and many goats and cattle were
destroyed by the heat of the earth, and the
showers of stones and the lava. The shock
was distinctly felt on the neighboring Islands,
and caused much alarm at Port Praya, where
the vibrations were very violent and almost
unceasing, for seven or eight days. The era
ter of Togo is 10000 feet above the sea, and
eruptions occur once in twenty or thirty
years.
A rumor of the flight of Donna Maria from
Lisbon, and the accession of Don Miguel to
the throne of Portugal, had caused great ex-
element at the Islands, but the report was
not verified.

DC THE CARD, Again. Some friends of Messrs
Cheney & DaHon seem to manifest much indignation
at our humble SELF BECAUSE they aver, they have
understood that we refused to insert reply from the
above named men to Messrs Cook & Fields article of
last week. Well, all we can say, is, we have seen
no article from the last named men, other than the
Card from Messrs Cheney & DmtOn; and if they
wish to say, through the Voice, that their Card did
not tell the truth, and that they subscribed to it for
the purpose of getting released from paying Hun
ded Dollar Note, and to avoid their liability to pay
damage on certain Bond, they can have the priv
ilege of so doing.
We have no desire to show partially to either
party; having been, as we supposed, on friendly
terms with both and the reason of further allu-
sion to the matter, is, to satisfy those who have
planned that the Voice is not closed to Messrs Che
ney & Dutton, as has been represented

DROWNED. In Colchester on the 18th
inst, Robert William, son of Robert and HUI
dab Scott, of Burlington, aged years. The
circumstances were these. On the 18th, after
school, Robert went to his grandfather's in
Colchester,a distance Of miles. On the morn
ing of the 18th, he accompanied his grand
father and his cousin Edgar, where they went
to mend the bridge, about dozen rods from
the house. Robert was in high spirits, this
being his birth day. He said to his cousin,
Edgar, what a fine time we will have to-
day." These we're his last words. While at
play, he fell from stick on the upper side of
the bridge. He was not observed at the mo-
ment of falling, nor indeed was he seen after
wards, the water being so muddy. The first
indication was given by a splash and gurgling
in the water. Assistance was obtained in q
very few minutes, and every effort made for
his rescue. The body was found hours nf-
ter the accident, and about two rods below
the bridge in a depth of six or seven feet
of water, What seems peculiarly providen-
tial in this CASE is the coincidence of the time
of his death with that of his birth, both being
the same hour.-Bor. Free Press.

THE EvIL-THE REMEDY. Stony Creek,
SUSSEX Co., Va, June 2, 1s47. Slavery is
undoubtedly doomed in this State. 1t does
not pay. From beginning to end it is los
ino concern. Land is continually decreasing
in value. Not far hence is a tract of 1,4o0
acres, we'll timbered, and lying along creek,
which, twenty years ago, bro't from $1S to
500 an acre 1t was sold five years AGO foI

things. Nobody denies that Slavery is at the
bottom of the mischief; but all seem paralyzed
at the magnitude of the cyil.--Nationd Era

our law now extends the 9gis of protection,
in the same manner as it does to that Of the
white man, save only in the character of the
evidence necessary for conviction or defence.

THE GREAT RAIN, Last Wednesday
night we were visited by very heavy rain,
accompanied by thunder and Lightning
The rain poured down in torrents through
the night, with very little intermission, and it
has rained more or less every twelve hours
since. Streams are consequently very much
swollen, and low lands flowed, which has
caused a good deal of injury to crops and
property otherwise. Dams and bridges have
been destroyed, and many thousands of saw
mill logs have been swept into the lake.-&.

The TRIAL FOR MURDER Our COM
munty was deeply interested and excited
yesterday, by a case of great Importance, and
also Of entire novelty in our jurisprudence.
1t was the trial of lady Of respectable fami-
~, and the mother of large family, charged
with the murder of her own or her husbands
slave. The courthouse was thronged with
spectators of the exciting drama, who remain
ed with undated interest, and undiminished
numbers, until the verdict was rendered ac-
quitting the prisoner. We cannot but regard
the fact of this trial as Il salutary, although in
itself lamentable occurrence, as it will show

of this court in 1916, when the defendant obtained
verdict, and again at the December term, when the
Diff recovered one cent damages. No one eXceptthe
parties was present at the time of the assault COM
planned Of and the case upon the part of the plain
tiff rested upon the appearances of the ground where
it was said to have taken place, and the admissions
of the deft. The deft relied chiefly upon evidence
discredtnc the witness introduced by the plaintiff,
showing they had made contradictory statements,
&c. &c. The jury were charged, that provoking
words alone never amounted to sufficient justifca-
ton for an assault and the jury, in order to find FOR
the defendant upon his plea of justification, must be
satisfied that the pH commenced the attack, and the
defendant used no force than was necessary to
repel him. The jury returned verdict for the

The message Of Gov. Williams is respec-
table and well written document. He en-
dorses the doctrines of radicalsm to the full
extent, as was expected. He recommends,in
iactthe repeal of the general corporation law,
giving the Legislature the power to alter,
amend, or repeal all charters granted under
it. It is quite doubtful whether the party
can carry the measure, as there are a good
many Democrats who are interested in rail
road projects not yet consummated, who will
fear the effect upon their interests. Besides,
it would operate unequally Of the
charters in the State cannot be made subject
to repeal. The governor has good word for
schools, and cautiously expresses himself in
favor of well regulated militia" He faint
ly endorses the doctrines, also, of the VIII
mot Proviso," but has good deal of twaddle
about the rights of the south, and the danger
to the Union of agitation. He goes in for the
war, and talks about Mexico as having beer

show that in july 1885, the plffs. purchased of de-
PENDANT large quantity of wool, which he repre-
sented clean washed WOOL and that the tags were
not in the feeces-when in fact the tags were inland
the wool was not washed and clean. The evidence
on the part of the defendant tended show that the
agent of the plaintiffs who purchased said wool was
fully informed of and knew the real state and con-
diton of the wool at the time he purchased it. The
jury directed if they found for the plaintiffs, to
return verdict for such actual damages as they
should find they had sustained, and such further
sum as they should find for exemplary damages dis
tingushng between them. Under these directions
the jury returned verdict for the plaintiffs to re-
