FEAT OF A DRUNKEN MAN-THRnbINe
ScENE.-On Thursday evening, Just be-
fore the steamboat Jewess left Annapolis,
man, evidently intoxicated, was per-
celyed clinging on the outside OF the rail-
ing around the steeple of the State House.
in that city. Soon as he was observed
by the persons below, his dangerous situ-
alton became the source Of most intense
excitement. After climbing on top of the
rail he stood upon his ieeI, and walked
nearly around, with all the loose-jointed-
ness of the inebriate, at the same time
gesticulating violently at those below
once or twice we really thought his bal
ance gone but, staggering back, he con-
tinued his perilous walk around the bal
usirade. We held our breath until il be-
came painful, and tried to look away, but
like the charmed bird under the serpent's
eye we could not. With all the contempt
we feel for the drunken reckless character
of an individual who would thus expose
himself, the sight of a human being in
such an awful situation was productive ol
feelings which we do not wish to expe-
rience again. After staggering around
some distance, he fell Oh the inside

GEN. PILLOW AND Coz. HAsKELL.-
The following is told in the Tennessee
Republican.
When the ID Tennessee volunteers
were driven back at Cerro Gordo by the
hurricane of grape, canister and mus
kerry which seventeen pieces of artillery
and nearly three thousand small arms
had hurled against the advancing columns,
cutting down nearly third of their num-
her in the short space of three minutes,
Col. Haskell assembled the scattered re-
gIinent and reformed il in the clapparal
for second charge. Gen. Pillow, on
coming up and casting his eyes over the
gallant little band, was so struck with the
oimmutlon of their numbers that he de-
Inanded, "Where is your command.

"fhey are there, sir" replied the intrepid
Haskell, pointing towards the enemv's
batteries-''ihey are there, sir, dead and
dying on the field to which they were or

The YOU'VE IDEA HARPooNING.-The
Monthly Rose tells the following very
good story of young whaler in Nantuck-
ct. No wonder the hardy seamen Of that
Island can handle harpoon with such
singular dexterity, when they begin 10
practise so early in life:
passing through Nantucket last sum-
mer, we stopped at an out-of-the-way-
house for glass of water. As we ap-
preached the half open door, we beheld
the following scene, which excited our
visibility at the time to considerable ex-
tent.
An urchin, some six years old, had
fastened fork TO the end of ball of yarn
which his mother was holding, when he
very dexteriously aimed at an old black
cat quietly doing in the corner. Puss
no sooner felt the sharp prick OF the fork,
than she started up in jiffy, while the ex-
perimenter sung out in high glee, "Pay
out, mother. pay out, there she goes,

Editorial Correspondence OF The Plea
yunc
PUEBLA, MExIco,) JUNE 5, ls47.
The news from the city of Mexico is
of considerable importance. The report
is that Congress will not accept Santa An
mas resignation, all which he probably
knew when he sent ii in, and that he now
intends to carry out his schemes in more
high-handed manner than ever. To de-
lend the capital he appears determined
upon but instead of adopting a concilia-
tory policy, and bringing about union
OF the different parties and factions, he has
sent number OF the most noted officers
either to prison or into exile, and by
threats and abuse is endeavoring 10 bring
over their friends to his cause. Officers
who gave their paroles at Vera Cruz and
Cerro Gordo are forced into the army or
else are treated with violence and driven
from the city. All the American citizens
IN the capital were ordered, on the 1st
instant, TO leave at the expiration of twen-
ty-four hours, either for Jalisco or More
La, and many were obliged to pack up
and be of without moments time to at
tend to their business. This tyrannical
decree will Of course be ruinous TO the in
terests OF all, but more especially 10 the
heavy commercial houses. In the mean
time every citizen has been called upon
to take up arms for the common defence,
and the teperos are driven to work at the
Notifications at the point Of the bayonet.
Cannon are being cast at a foundry in the
city, balls and shells at ironworks near
San Rafael, and other establishments are
busy turning out munitions of war. De-
fences are IN process of construction at
Chalco, Ayotia, Guadalupe, Chapultcpec.
and other points, and the war-party would
fain believe that they can resist the adj
vance of the ''infamous and cowarJv''
North Americans. Great hopes arc en-

FRuITs OF ANNExATloN.-The Galvas-
ton Telegraph learns that the holders of
Texas promissory notes and bonds are
going TO make strenuous exertions 10 get
the next Congress TO assume the whole
debt OF Texas. .'They are encouraged to
expect success from the fact that the
claims of Messrs. Dawson & Co., for the
TEXAS NAVY, were recommended TO be
paid by committee of the House of
Representatives at the last session OF
Congress. This recommendation was
made on the ground that our revenue was
pledged for the payment of this debt. and
because the United States has now both
our revenue and the navy"

THE ARMY BILLS.

The New Orleans Bulletin of the 10Th
inst, makes the following statement. It
is but one of many similar occurrences,
and the consequence of the refusal to pay
may be Judged Of when il is known, there
was at or near Zacatezas, about 81 ,000,-
600 which might have been procured had
the bills mentioned below been paid on
presentation.
.4rmy BHis.-We saw on Saturday.
in the possession of one party, $l65,000
Of bills drawn at Monterey, by the Quar-
iermaster OF Gen. Tayler's army, on the
Quartermaster at this place. The party
who brought these bills to this city, is an
English agent, who paid Cor them in spe-
Gle, for the pressing wants Of Gen. Tay-
lor's army, and on presenting them here,
he learns that no funds have been provi-
ded to meet them, and the only settlement
he cLn obtain is in new bills on the North,
payable after the ist of July. The a.
mount of these drafts was required for
immediate remittance to England, and
every business man can readily imagine.
how great might be the convenience, or
how fatal the consequences, to mercan-
tile house, in having even much less
sum than this large amount, withheld or
retained on its way, even under the ordi-
nary circumstances in commercial affairs;
and how much such injury may be ag
grevated, under the circumstances that
existed in the European money market,
at the last advices.

We take the following from the Mata-

AssAss1NATIoNs.-A gentleman recent

dead bodies floating OIL the river 3 Mexi-
cans and three Americans. Several pill
OTIS of our acquaintance inform us that
dead bodies are seen on every trip, gen.
orally stripped of their clothing leaving
no doubt that they have met their death
at the hands of assassins. The Indians
are charged with the commission Of many
Of these murders and as they are frequent

can be no doubt that they had hand in
them.

BURIED ALIvE.-John Scheilinger while
diging well in Kendall county, (Ill.) at
the depth of SO feet below the surface.
was buried alive. The sand got up to his
waist and before the man at the top of the
we'll could render him any assistance, he
was buried to the depth of or 8 feet a.
bove his head in the sand at the bottom
of the well. Every exertion was made
by the neighbours who were soon on the
spot to extricate him, but this was not ac-
cemplished until the evening. when he
was taken out dead, having been 8 hours
under the superintendent mass. He was
a young man 81 years Of age from Port
land in the State of Maine where his fam
lily resides.
