We have received by the bark Stella, Captain
Oliver, from Rio Janeiro, files of the formal do
Concrete, to the Goth of November, inclusive.
Verbally, we learn that Captain Stringham, late
of the ship-of the line Ohio, is coming home in

Trio Janeiro on the I'd December. He was sue

CRUELTY TO CEILD.-A colored woman,

10 a female child of | | years old, which she had
taken out Of the Poughkeepsie Co. Aims House

The child was truly piiable object. Marks
of beating were over her body, her eyes were
blIckcned from dashlng her head against a
wall, and her hand was branded IN two places

poker the later was raw sore. The neigh
bors had bcrn cognzlnt of the treatment ofihe
child for long time previous, but they feared
from the malignant character Of the woman,
she would do them some injury, by setting fire
10 their hrusas, or the like, should they make
any complaint until one Of them, a colored
man nam ID Marcus Wells, was 50 indgnan,
that he entered complaint. The woman was
in the habit of going out TO work, locking the
child in without food, and If it could obtain
any in the house clandcslincly, would chas,ise
her IN most barbarous manner for stealing. She
compelled the child to tell those who inquired
as to the cause Of her wounds that she fell on
the ground, &c, while on the other hand. she
tired To justify herself 10 The Court by alleging
that these puni,hmcnts were to break her of a

Sophy kissed her sister, and assured her
that she iorgaye her with her whole heart all
that she wished when Mrs. Gaythorn, Ia

II is no wonder that. after SO many scenes
of excitement, and with so much that WAS

lrose, she was informed that her sister had de-
parted for the south, at an early hour that
morning. A few lines from Emily confirmed
Q he intelligence. TO no one else did she say
farewell.
The reader will not be surprised to hear, af-
Ter all they have learned, that Sophy, after an
interview with Ashleigh of most unconscion-
able length on that pleasant summer morning,
was seen entering her mother chamber with
very flushed face. Nor will he be astonish-

tory way of settling matters, Sophy was no
longer permitted To walk out alone, to get lost

OrR TRoors N Mex,oo.--ONr 'ProspcJs.
Tho cessation Of arms in Mexico leaves our
troops there still exposed to The fayages Of
death. Disease in that uncongenial climate -
as fatal to the rank and file MS the cannon ball
A letter from the city Of Mexico, in tho New
Orleans Crescent, dated The 27th of February,
speaks Of this matter--wh hich is one that letter
writers from Mexico have little taste form
language sufficiently distinct and sad. The
writer says great change has come over large
bodies Of Mexcans. Zacatecas, Guadalaiara
and Ouanajuato, are mentioned AS particularly
hostile, and resolved on further fighting, for
which they are making preparations. lie then
proceeds to say
Should this peace business fail, what are
we to do T! We have still but handful of men
and are 6uWng nearly "a regiment a month
II is impossible that the present slow process
OF recruiting can even fill the places of those
who die. We have not troops enough to even
occupy the State of Mexico so as to collect the
contribution demanded. Under any circum-
stances we want three times as many men as
we have. The Capital we can keep against
the whole force Of Mexico combined, but what
is the use oft lfthis treaty business fail,
we want men enough to send up into the pop
ulous dlstricts-to Queretaro, Leon, Morela,
Guanajuata, Guadalajara, Zacatecas, etc., and
make those now virgin States feel the pressure
OF the invaders tread. To send to these States
alone, for effectual invasion, will take 80 900
men, and where are they!
"There is no doubt but the recall of Gen.
Scott has embodened some of these Mexican
States to drop the peace grab they wore shor
time since--they considered him invincible, and
l seriously believe the terror of his name was
worth good half dozen of regiments to us.
Twas sad day to the army in Mexico, that
which brought his recall. But his successor
is good man and good soldier, and one who
# the Mexcans run against, they will regret
the day."
