The troops were all in fine health and spirits.
Before marching, Col. Washington gave a
splendid review at chihuahua. 1t was attend

ExTRAoRDINARY Fossils. learn that,
above three weeks since, the workmen EN-
ployed in eNcayaling the summit cut Of the
Rutland Railroad, Mount Ilolley, discovered a
Fossil Tooth of great size, and in fine state
of preservation 1t lay III muck pit, three or
four feet below the surface of the ground which
at that point underlles the muck The tooth
is about eight inches long on It's face, and four
or five broad, aud weighs, as an informant
thinks, seven or eight pounds. The color is a
dark lead. The tooth was taken from the
south side of the cut near the brink.
A few days since, at the same poirt, in the
edge of the pit, Fossil Horn was taken out,
more than fur feet long, and four inches in dl-
ameier The color is darker than the tooth,
and both ends are decayed and gone. I he
surface is hard and tough, and feels like horn.
The pllh is brltle, easily crushed between the
fingers, and unctlOus 10 the touch. 1t is high.

Coates streets. The procession came on shout
ing for Cass and Butler, when the youth, who

in any spirit Of defiance. Instantly rush was
made from the procession. and the women AMI
children who lued the sidewalks were compell-

were employed with the utmost freedom, and
poor Coleman was ielled 10 the earth with a
murderous blow, which speedily caused his
death 1t IS also SAID that several pistol Shots
weie fired, by which Two or thIee other per-
SONS were wounded The whole town was
alive with the horrible subject OH Saturday
The victim was most esllmablc person, and
resided within few squares OF the murder.
The yer.lct of the Jury is as follows -
- That The deceased, a fired Coleman, aged
90 years, came to his death by blow given
by some person unknown, from the ranks Of
the Democratic procession, calling themselves
"killers," at the corner of Twelfth aud Coates

that they be invested with power to take such
course for the collection Of the amount due the

Gently arrived from beyond Laredo, that a

were making arrangements to work the mines
between that place and Monclova, and that
some of the machinery had already arrived l.
The mine is said to be very rich one, and
has not been worked since the expulsion of the
Spanlards-we presume owing TO the proXiml-
,y of the Indian ranges. For years many Of
the poorer people have washed out the metal
in small parcels, and more than Sl0O 900 thus
procured has been brought to Corpus Christi,
in exchange for goods. Now that the Indians
will be kept in check by our soldiers the COM
pany can pursue its labors uninterrupted.
