From Mexico.

The New Orleans Pieayune of the 18th, has some
intelligence from Mexico. 1t is not important
The report that there was a difficulty among the
Mexicans Of Jalisco is contradicted the people are
determined on the continuance of the war. A let
ter from chihuahua says four hundred Americans
with their property, were expected there, determin-
ed TO enter, even if force was necessary. 1t says
that the inhabitants are less prepared to receive
them than formerly, but were they 1.-THE Americans
many times stronger than they are, they would not
enter with the ease and success which they did be-
fore.
The Governor OF Tamaulipas complains loudly
of the excuses committed by the guerrillas, and
calls upon the commandant Of tho Interior to put 9
stop 10 them. Unless something is done, the peo-
pie will rise and defend themselves against these
marauding bands, who assassinate without scruplC
and with no distinction between friend and foe.
Gen. Lane had returned to Puebla from an ex.
petition 10 Atisco and beyond. He went Is miles
beyond Cholula in search of some Mexican guns
but found nothing but the carriages, which werI
destroyed.
Gen. Lane had invited the dispersed inhabitantl
Of Puebla to return, and gives permission to the
Governor to resume his functions, and will insure
protection so long as they remain peaceable. Pn'
ebla is eifectually snbduedi no one troubles tho
Americans.

the Following extracts from the Report Of the Trustees
Of this excellent Inattution
"There have been tho same endeavora 10 employ our
male patients in the open air, either by labor in the gar
den, on the farm, or abdat the premises. The Trustees
have recently purchased thirty acres Of good land which
has furnished much useful employment. There has
been no relaxation Of effort to employ those who have
been mechanics, in the carpenters and shoo-shops, and
much useful labor has been performed by them. Those
who have not labored have taken exercise by walking,
riding, playing al quoita, ball, and various other amuse-
ments. The females ride, walk, and Gull flowers from
the garden. Much labor has been performed by them
in various kinds Of needle work, and assisting the ma.
iron IN various ways. Others manifest much talent In
painting and drawing. They have also had their differ
ent amusements, such as dancing, playing chess, hack.
CANNON, ~draughts, graees, and other similar games.
Those who have been accustomed to playing on the
piano are furnished with one At the Institution.
"Many OF the patients are interested In different
kinds Of reading. The printing Of the sAsylum Jour
nal has been discontinued in consequence OF the re-.
covery Of the printers, who have lef the Asylum. There
Is no kind Of reading so eagerly sought aiter as news.

17-The corner stone Of the projected reservoir
on Beacon Hill, near Boston, was laid on the 2oth
inst, with appropriate ceremonies. The address Of
the Mayor on that occasion was interesting and e-
oqueni.
From 1t we learn that water for the city OF Bos-
ton, is to be brought from Lake Cochimaie, about
Is miles from the city, by a brick A~queduct, 6 feet in
height, e~mptying ut Brookline into a reservoir COW
ering more than 20 acres. From Brookline It is
distributed through pipes into two other smaller res
ervoirsI-one on Mount Washington, and the other
on Beacon Hill. Each Of these reservoirs Is es-
timated to contain 100000 gallons Of water. About
J miles Of the aqueduct is already completed, and
the whole is to be completed within a year. The
length Of water pipes from Brookline, through all
the streets OF Boston, Is estimated at co miles, Of
which 80 are to be completed this fall. The cost he
supposes will not exceed s. 100000 which Is scarce
ly equal IN sh- --.--l tasasest sPon inc cost Or the
Croton water into New York. This is a great work,
and will add much to the beauty and cleanliness Of
Boston.

Hoos-THE SEAsoN-There is evident confu.
sion on the part Of both drovers and packers. The
latter are in extreme doubt as to what will be safe
prices at which to operate, and the former stand in
daily If not hourly fear that they will not be able to
meet their contract prices with the farmers without
loss. One party seeks lower figures than the pres
ent--the other higher. The former, it is the opin-
ion Of many intelligent operators, must prevail
The sales in this city yesterday and day before,
were at &4.-CinciHnat Ca.
The louisville Democrat Of Wednesday says =
We heard yesterday that several parties heretofore
largely engaged In the pork business arc disinclin-
cd at present rates to take hold. The drovers have
been in the city anxious to obtain offers, but with
out success. Three dollars nctis demanded, but
We do not hear Of any contracts being made. The
weather has become suitable for killing, and should
il continue we shall probably hear an opening price
being established before the close Of the week.
The Lafayette Ind journal is quoted as stating
that "the killing OF hogs had been going on briskly
at that place for about two weeks, and that a lot Of
new pork and lard has already been forwarded by
the. canal for the New York market. The same pa
per adds that the price for fat hogs has been three
dollars, and that this price is higher than packers

prospect Of getting 10 market by way Of the cana
is closed. The time has now arrived

fhl paragraphs
This war Is a national blunder, a great ca
lnmity, the full effects of which, upon the peace
and happiness Of the country, no human sagacity
can foresee. II is becoming an absorbent of a
nations blood and treasure a canker TO a ma
tons repose.
"Claiming as full an exemption from s~uperiti-
ton as most men, l firmly believe, and take
pleasure Ia announcing il, that no State can
prosper in a long career Of true glory, in the dis
regard Of the claims Of justice, and the %injunc-
tons of the Christian religion. A food tide Of
apparent prosperity may come, filing for a time
the avenues OF trade, and saiiating the cravings
Of taste and curiosity, yet sooner or later Il has
It's ebb, and either clogs with It's abundance or
leaves the void greater than before. History Is
q silent but eloquent witness Of its truth, and
from her undying lamp sheds a stream Of unceas-
ing light along our pathway. The fabrics Of an
cient greatness, built by injustice and consccra-
ted to ambition, are now fitting shadows before
US, starting up from behind the broken pillars
and falling columns that were reared to pcrpct-
uate the genius by which they were wrought"

TERRIBLE.-The schooner Caroline, Of Saco,
Maine, from Savannah, for Bath, with a cargo
of lumber, experienced on the 26th of October,
lat AZ, As, a most severe gale, in which two Of
the crew were lost, and the vessel dismasted.-
During the storm all the provisions were washed
overheard, and consequently when fallen in
with by the schooner Splendid, from Yarmouth,
N. s., on the Sth inst, the survivors were in a
most destitute situation, having been obliged to
adopt the fearful alternative Of sacrificing one Of
their number for subsistence to the rest; accord
ingly lots we're cast, and the awful decision fell
upon one Of the seamen named Charles Brown,
who was killed, and upon whose flesh the poor
wrctches lived until picked up.
In the Boston papers Of last evening, W find
a more particular account Of this distressing af-
fair, communicated by two of the survivors (the
captain and mattel Of the Inflated vessel. Ac-
cording to this, they were without food except
what was furnished by the awful expedient they
adopted after going without anything 10 eat or
drink for sixteen days, from the 3lst of October,
when their provisions were washed away, till
Nov. 10, which was the day they were rescued
The details are perfectly awful; Brown, whose
lot il fell TO die, WINS a strong athletic man, and
refused to submit; but was about to kill a boy,
who was willing to give up his life for the sake
of the rest, when the captain seeing the gross
injustice he was intending to perform, after hav-
ing agreed to submit to the result Of the lot,
raised an adj and struck him over the head and
killed him. They subsisted on the blood fol
three days, and were again in the last extremity
of distress, when they fell in with the vessel thai
saved them. The captain and mate, both nam,
ed Smith, and the boy named Rose, are the sur.
viyors Of this terrible affair; all of them belong
in Maine. 1t is supposed that Charles Brown
was not the true name Of the one whose life Wal
sacr'f ed; he was shipped Mt Savannah, was I
ssrang, ! to the others, and had rs. d." pricked
in his arm with India ink.
