IlISToRicAL WoRKs.--Gen. Scott, ut the capture Of
the city Of Mexico, seized and brought home some
five thousand volumes OF historical ioOfs in the arch
i've. of Mexico, all in the Spanish language. Some
Of these are three hundred years DID, and contain
perfect history Of that country from lis origin. 1t is
the intention faiths government to extract from this
library all that may be useful in forming complete
history Of the possessions which have acquired by
the treaty, toabe retained in own archives and the
books will then be sent back 10 Mexico. The right
to bring the books away perhaps undoubed, but it
eyinres iberality in this COVE rnment to return them

LATER FROM ST. Do,rSGo.-By the arrival Of the
schooner J. b. Lindsey, Capt Hathaway, from st.
Domingo city, which place she left on the 25th ult.
we learn that another revolution had broken out and
that the army and navy had declared in favor OF Gen.
Santa Anna rs President. Hcrnannes the President,
met the troops the outskirts OF the city, and de-
clarcd to them that he was still their commander.
Gen. Santa Anna then Withdrew from the army, and
retired to his plantations after which the troops dis
banded but they, not being satisfied, again requested
Santa Anna TO head them, which he complied with,
and immediately marched for the city Previous to
his march, the cty-oi Don Carlos was burnt by order
Of President Hcrnannes, with view OF preventing
| the troops taking possession OF it.
1t was supposed that st. Domingo city would fall
into the hands Of Gen Santa Anna and that he would
be declared President OF the Dominican Government

The Central Railroad.

We learn from our exchanges that this road
will be opened as far Millerstown by the
18th inst, and to Lewistown by the lst of
August next. We also understand that Messrs
Colder, Snodgress & Co., intend placing line
of stage coaches between Holidaysburg and
Lewistown on the opening of the Road 10 the
latter place, and also another line from Holli
daysburg to Pittsburg. As the line of coaches
that are now running through this place ap
pears to be very badly managed, we feel conf
dent that this intelligence will be gratifying
news to the people in this section of country
besides it will give lit:le more life TO the pre-
sent dull condition of things.
