The AMERlcAN MINISTER IN 1IHxIoo.-The
telegraph lately spread report, bearing very
severely upon Mr.. Clifford the American Minister
in the city Of Mexico, charging him with with
holding bis protection from a number Of Americans,
detained in Mexican prisons. It excited good
deal Of aurpFise as Mr.. Clifford has received uni.
yersal commentator heretofore, for the zeal and
ibelaltY with which he exerted himself on an oe-
casions in favor Of his countrymen in MEXICO.
The NewYork Journal of Commerce makes an az.
PLANTATION, which we find corroborated in the Bul.
ietn Of this city, which gives different color to
the transactions for which Mr.. Clifford has received
censnre. It is said that every man Of the retiring
army who stuck to his flag, Left the country safe,
ana that these prisoners are deserters from the
Alas'iean troops, who have been committed to
PRISON ior robberias and assaults. They claim ex-
elnpaon nom liability to Mexican laws, because
SlleS nea belonged to the American army, and Mr..
loIu refuses to interfere, because they are deser-
tsss and ielons This, if established bv proof and
me Story seems reasonable, sufficiently excuses the
alleged conduct Of MI. Clifford, in perfect eonsis-
tency with bis habitual attention 10 tbs wants mi

Of ST. Augustine, Fla, writes to the Charleston

iniufe the reputation Of that gentleman.
The excitement along the frontier settlements is
great The families are removing as fast as possi-
Bile into some secure quarters. The Florida papers
are strong in the belief that there is an extensive
concert among the Indians for a general war. The

THE TELEGRAPH AND THE New YoRE Asso.
GATED PREss.-The New York papers complain
of foul dealing in the management of the tele-
graphic line between st. Johns and that city. 1t
seems that after the steamers news is brought to
St Johns by the horse and steamboat express of
the New York associated press it is permitted to
reach the hands Of private spectators and others
before it is transmitted to the papers in New York
The Tribune concludes an article on the subject
with the following remarks: Every one who has
felt an interest in the foreign news must have no.
tCed the happy facility the wires have Of breaking
Just az the critical moment when the foreign news

Of this that is forcibly reminded Of the remark

blned with the fact that the news does escape some

MIR. CLAY's Personal APIEARAN"E.-
A recent newspaper letter has the follow
ing notice Of tailors' dongs in the Southern
and Southwestern States:
seHenry Clay and party were on board
the ebay State" The great statesman
spent most of bis time on deck, where he
was constantly surrounded by his friends.
Yet, even amid the crowd, a stranger
might have distinguished him by the deep,
live fire OF his cye-the splcndor Of his
brow-the persuasion of his hips the sea-
witty of his manner--the slow dignity OF
his gait-and other peculiarities as widely
know n; such as the immensity Of his long
pointed shrt-collar, the shocking badness
Of his hat, and the utterly Undesirable
character Of his coat. All that unique
piece of tailorship, whence came it What
ninth part Of kentuckian went through
the solemn mockery OF measuring; snipp-
ing, and fitting, and finally deluded the
simple; because grcat-hearted, old man in
to the belief that the thing was coat In
very truth, that garment is a mystery to
me, whence it came and how it came,
Perhaps on TO mortal tailor rests the res
possibility of its deliberate manufacture.
Could it have been born, like the poet, for
It certainly was a 'H0n it,"

LINKS IN THE CHAIN OF Nature III is

LINKS IN THE CHAIN OF Nature II. is
very difficult to trace satisfac' orily tthe
links of Natures chain," in the several
gradations by which they connect animal
ard vegetable beings. These links are a.
numerous as they are wonderful. Some
IT them are evident enough, bat we are
at loss to determine whether o,hets
should be rlassrd amongst animals or veg
rtab!es. Mr.. Edwards seems to thInk
that many OF them may be deemed Of
middle nature, partakinS OF both; fer.
though some OF the POI ype and ccraIine
species seem to adhere By roots and in
crease as vegetables do, by shooting forth
young poiypes rom their sides, AID by
becoming perfect poIypes from the diFi-
ded parts Of Others, which are marks Of
vegetation, they have 1.-THE spme time a
power to move tieir parts and put forth
t, ntacula, or arms, with which they
catch small insects, wt"reon they feed,
thereby showing that they paFtake of an
animal nature.
A person lately sent me an animal
which fishermen call sea-rnouse, and
which seems to partake of the ptoper-
ties of both fish and insect. Ii was about
three inches and halt in length aud
was covered with beautiful silky hair OH
the sides, which put forth variety Of
colors III the sun, like spun glass. The
belly appeared like that OF The wood
mouse; and, like that insect, had the pow
er of rolling itself up on being disturbed,
On each side of the belly here were
twenty or thirty little feshy excresen-
ces, each OF which had five or six black
hairs in it, 'bout a quarter Of an inch
long, with which the creature moved il
self along. 1t is believe, an aphrodita,
