u~-The liberating from prison and arming
of 1000 Mexican criminals, was among the last
acts of Santa Anna before abandoning the cap
ital. He thus put it, and all its wealth and
peaceful citizens, at the mercy Of these con-
victed villains, armed by his orders, and much
more likely to turn their arms against their
own defeDceless countrymen, abandoned by
their own army and its officers, than against the
well-armed and fighting Americans. The mis-
chief which these cut-throats did of course will
beiaid to our soldiers, and our Mexican wing ed
itors will help to circulate the slander.-Stat9
Sentinel.
Suppose, Mr.. Sentinel, you had gone little
farther and said among the first acts of Mr..
Polk after he commenced the War was passing
this same Santa Anna into Mexico to head her
armies, and arm and turn loose her criminal:
to shoot down our soldiers. Suppose, we say
YOU had told the whole story!

WING STATE CoNvENTIoN.-We are author
lied, says the State Journal, by majority of
the State Central Committee, to call a conven-
ton of the Wings of the State for the purpose
ofselecting delegates to National Convention.
and to form an electoral ticket. The Wings
of the different counties in the State are hereby
requested to send as many delegates to the
State Convention, which will assemble in this
city on Wednesday, the 18th day of next jan
uary, as they may deem proper. That day has
been selected instead of the 10th, (the time at
which our State conventions have heretofore
been held) as the 10th comes on Sunday, and
because it is not probable the Legislature will
last longer than January.
Ofcourse vanderburgh will be strongly rep
resented in that convention. What say the
Wings to meeting on next Saturday week for
the purpose of appointing delegates If there
is no objection to the day we shall in our next
call meeting at the Court House, and hope to
see general attendance from the country.

will decide to let contracts on the balance OF

work rather slow for the interest of the Bond
holders as we'll as ours. Are they ''nursing
the job" or would it interfere with the pros
perity of other places along the line of the Ca
nal to have it finished to this city?

DEPTH OF TIE OcEAN.-At the annual
meeting the association of Am. Geolorisis
in Boston, Commander Wilkes, U. S. ~,
made communication upon the subject of
The depth and sadness of the ocean. The
maximum depth has never been attained.
Capt. Ross sounded 1900 Eahoms, about 81
900 feet and found no bottom. There are
great difficulties attending deep sea sound
ings. Experiments show that the great val
ley of our ocean run at right angles to The
rangers near our coast. The basins OF the
Southern hemisphere dip and rise alternately
from the equator towards the pole causing
very unequal depths of waller.

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR THE LADIES
- here are some questions Of pa,amoun,
Importance that are seldom thought Of and
never mentioned. Among then is. 'Whers
elhe sensible man usually meet tie lady
ne finally makes his wiIe!" There! we have
come pat upon it without note or prelude
but it's out, now, and cannot be retraced.-
Some medltatlve character with the good of
the young and rising generation at heart.
and especially the fuirer portion of it, has
given voice to his thoughts US follows:
"Where do men usually discover the wo.
men who afterwards become their wives! is
aquesl.on we have occasionally heard dis
cussed; and the result invariably come to,
IS worth mentioning to our young lady rea-
ders. Chance has much to DO in the affair,
but there are important governing circum-
stances. 1t is certain that few men make
a selection from ball rooms, or any other
place OF public gayety; and nearly rras few
are influenced by what may be called show
ing Oil III the streets, or by alurcments of
dress. Our opinion is that ninety-nire hun.

decorate or load their persons, 20 for notil.
ing, Us far usibusbund catching is concerned
" hen and how, then, do men find their
wives! IN the quiet homes Of their guardi-
ans-at the freside, where the domestic
graces and feelings are demonstrated. These
are the charms which most surely attract
the high as well as the humble. Against
these: all the hnery and airs sink into Insig-
nlficance. We sLall illustrate this by an
anecdote, which, though not new, will not
be the worse for beng again told. In the
year 1913, Peter Burrell, Esq, of Becken-
nam, in Kent, whose health was rapidly de-.
Ginning, was advised to goto Spa. Tor. the

Correspondence Of the Picayaae.j
INSURRECTION IN YUCATAN.
VERA Cruz, Aug. 81, lS47

CENT? Sunday last, the CITY
was startled with intelligence from Yucatan
that the whole Indian population OF that
State had arisen against the whites aud in
some districts massacrcd entirely the VIII ite
population, with the exception of the wo.
men. whom they only spared for fate still
here by the French Consul in u com mum :
cation from the French Consul at Campea
chy. and the massacre he says was univer-
sal. no distinction being made, except be.
tween Indians and whites. In some fthe dis
trcts the whites have succe eded in reaching
the cities and were there waiting succor.-
There is good reason 10 hope these will be
able to defend themselves until they are re.
lntorced. At Campeachy they were IN ex-
p:ctation of an immediate attack. The
French briggs of war La Peyrouse and La
PLATE have. it is understood, both been Or
de:ed to Campeuchy. and there is u report
that Com. Perry is about ordering down one
of the vessels OF our squadron. There are
perhaps some exaggeration in the accounts
OF the extent of the massacre, but of the
main facts there is not 4 doubt.
The Indians in Yuca:an have been more
oppressed than in any other part of Mex-
co, because tho landhoidcrs are generally
abscntees residing in SPAN, and entrust the
management Of their estates to stewards,
who to subserve their own interests grind
the unfortunate Penon to the dust.
An express arrived here on Tuesday from
Alvarldo to Com. Perry, with information
that the guerriilas had attacked that place
the Eghl bef,re, and killed surgeon and
two mir'Des in that town. The stpa ner
ret'ta and Scorpion were Immediately dis
patched to reinforce those in possession OF
the place.

Your bloom was short. but fair and bright,
Your hues Of the purest dye;
But why have ye fled this world Of light!
Why vanished from my eye!
Your forms, SO lately fresh and hale,
Are sport for the rude winds play;
And your odcrs so sweet tothe morning gale
Have passed, like its light, away.

Then we'll hail your glad return.
