BALTIMORE, April Sin the Connecticut cleo
tons no choice for Governor was made by the peo-
pie. The Wings have probably the lower House
of the legislature, and one majority in the Senate.
They have elected one Congressional representa-
tive. The Democrats have elected three. All
markets unchanged.
BALTIMORE, April 4.-The ship New York has
arrived, bringing Havre dates of the 18th March,
being one day later than those by the steamer. AT
Paris on the 9th, funds advanced; five per cents at
eighty-fve Italian affairs less alarming. At Havre
cotton quiet. American advices rather depressing.

From Mexico,


We have received files of the Monitor Repub
Acano to the Doth of March, and copy of Ell Uni
yersal of the oath of March. 4
The Mexican Congress, by large majority
passed an act authorizing the government to nego.
tate dispose of $l,5OOOOO of the amount to be
paid by the United States in May next.
The Monitor of the 18th says, that large num-
ben of persons from the United States are passing
through Mexico on their way TO California in
search of gold on the Tuesday previous the editor
had seen a company of sixty horsemen, well armed
and apparently decent" on their journey.
The partisans of Santa Anna are still busily en-
pioyed in efforts to make revolution in his favor
but they are SO diligently watched by the govern
ment that they have as yet been able to effect but
little, and have not ventured on any overt acts
since the great battle in Temascatepec, in which
no one was killed and one drunken sergeant taken
prisoner.
The Mexican journals are discussing the I" Pro.
tocol," out of which they make as little as Messrs.
Benton, Stephens & Co., at home.
Don Mariana Ayllon has undertaken to make the
Chalco Canal navigable for steamboats, of a light
draft, and the project meets with great favor in the
City of Mexico; and the Governor of Vera Cruz
has made a reconnaissance Of the Rio Blanco, and
has discovered the practicabiity of transporting
merchandise, by means of steamboats,, from the
coast of Sotavento to Ousacaca, within five leagues
of Cordova, and this too is to be attempted. Who
will say that the Mexicans are not making pro-
gress The steam engine will work wonders when
once fairly introduced. Weperceive too, that they
have since the war been ptaronizing steam Of
another kind, which proves that they are rapidly
adopting the pecuarities of Saxon civilization
the Puebla journals complain that in almost every
street and lane in the city, and particularly on
Sundays and feast days, crowds of men and women
may be met with-drunk as lords. Here is ad-
vancement.
1t is said that there are three thousand Indians in
arms in the south of Mexico, prepared to rise
against the government.
We have run through the papers carefully, but
can find nothing in them that deserves the name
of news.

MASON AND DIyoN,s LINE.

The survey of the section of the boundary
line of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary
land. authorized by the Legislatures of the
respective States, under JOINT commission,
was completed day before yesterday. Col.
Graham and Lieut.. Thorn, of the U. S. To
biographical Corps, were the Engineers, hav-
ing been assigned to the duty by the War De-
partment at the request of the Governors of
the three States
This section comprises small part of the
celebrated Mason & Dixon's line, and it is
interesting to know that II was surprisingly
accurate. Most of the monuments We're found
entire. OF these, every fifth stone, at dis
tances of FIVE miles, is ornamented on one
side with the sculptured arms Of Lord BATH
more, and on the other with those OF the Penn
family. The stones are of granite, and the
engraving was doubtless executed IN England.
The chief object of the survey was to de-
termine the exact character and position of a
small fraction of Pennsylvania territory lying
in an angle between the Delaware and Mary
land lines, which was accomplished without
difficulty. The angle was found to correspond
exactly with the old corners as marked. Much
interest was excited among the inhabitants,
and the change of allegiance was not alto
gether relished in one or two Instances. In
one case, gentleman, who had represented
his district in the Legislature of Delaware, is
now, ought to b., loyal citizen of the
Keystone State.
To revert to the Mason and Dixon line--it
is gratifying circumstance that the location
of it was committed, by the English Govern
ment, to such able hands. Charles Mason
was, indisputably, ne of the most accom-
plished scientific meI of his times; and was,
for some years, attached to the Royal Obser-
vatory. His obserWtions of the transit Of
Venus, and measurement of an arc of the me-
ridian of this country, were published in the
proceedings 0. the Royal Society.-Philadek

THE CHOLERA IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

AdvIces from Carthagena to the 18th
( October received at New York contain sad
accounts of the violence of the cholera in
that quarter. A letter in The Courier says:
business was slowly recovering its for
mor life, when the barque left. The
Cholera had committed awful Tavages all
through not only this province bat New
Grenada. In Carthagena, city of H.
coo souls, ,, 400 fell before il; in Bar

baco, San E.tanislo, and Villa Nueya,
with an aggregate population of 5000,
1900 cases proved fatal. But It's most
tughttul ravages were on the banks of the
Magdalena and throughout the interior.
~ hole villages Were completely annihiI-
ated by this terrible scourge, leaving not
even a vestige of any living thing.
/ Where II had not reached, whole popu-
lations were flying in Consideration, thew
knew not where. Terrible alarm was
felt in the capitol of Bognta, where at the
latest intelligence (I9th September it
had not reached, bat which it was ap-
proaching with gigantic strides. All bus
mess was suspended. politics forgotten or
unbeeded and the greatest fright seemed
to have seized on all. Every precaution
and preventive were recommended by the
Journals, which TEEN with nothing but the
''cholera" ana lis rapid approach.-It is
much TO be feared that this CITY will be
doomed to mortality equal to that which
has visited the other provinces and cities
of the republic, as proper medical advice
IS said to be very scarce, and so in the
capital. To this want may be attributed
me excess Of mortality throughout the

IMPRISONMENT OF JNO. NJ. BAR
REI"T

A lette from ]. NJ. Barrett is published in
late number Of THE Crisis" a new pa
per at Gncinnati,) in which, after stating
that he vas incarcerated in South Carolina
under Suspicion of having circulated Anti
Slavery documents in that State, he gives in
detail tie circumstances attending his arrest.
He says he was making a tour through the
South FIR the recovery Of his health, and was
at the sme time connected as agent in the
publication of Gazetteer. During his jour
ney he WIS repeatedly examined and interroga-
ted by the'' Safety Committee and its agents !;
but he escaped arrest until his arrival at Spar
tanburgh, where he was violently thrust into
prison On his arrival at this town, he was
met by the Postmaster of the place, and of a
large concourse of people, who demanded
that he shold expose the contents of his let
tiers that boe hrs address, and which the Post
master heldin his hand. He opened the let
tiers. One was anonymous, and contained
copies Of tie 'Brutus'' (Anti-SIavery) docu-
ments the other contained passage intma-
ting that he held Anti-Slavery sentiments
Upon this evidence he was cast into prison
Mr.. Barrett distinctly denies that he circula-
ted documents of any kind OF violated law Of
South Carolina in any way. The whole case
made out against him, he says, rests upon the
simple fact that two packages of the BTutus
=
One of these packages was sent him from
Charlotte, n orth Carolina, without his knowl-
edge or consent, and the other, it was merely
suspected, was sent him upon some prior
agreement of his own. For this offence he
was vigorously imprisoned all summer, while
in bad health-denied the benefit of bail, or a
resort 10 the Habeas Corpus, and his life
threatened by lawless mob. At the same
time, he says, the Spartan, and other papers
of South Carolina, endeavored to instigate the
people to hang him 8 without the benefit of
Clergy" Mr.. Barrett was, however, ulti-
mately admitted to bail. because, as he saws,
the 8 Safety Committee knowing there was
no evidence against him. did not dare to bring
him to trial. Mr.. Barrett acknowledges that
there are citizens in South Carolina who.
while they are loyalty Southern in their SEN
timents, do not countenance the frequent re-
SORTS to mob law, in which the Flaming pat
riots have so distinguished themselves both
here and on the fo0F Of the Senate of the l.
nited States. We would iGjn hope shat such
treatment finds neither excuse nor palliaton
among any respectable body Of men of the
South.

An AWFUL MURDER

The most diabolical murder which It ever
c,,l 70 our lot 10 record, was perpetratad III
,bis village on Friday night, the 9TH inst.
This inhuman act was committed upon the
,ersop of MFR. Philip Cox, single man, who
lived alone in his own house, on Commerce
Street The body was discovered about two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, by neighboT
who hammered TO call at the house upon an
errand. II appeared from an examination by
PHYSICIANS, that the skull was fractured a Int
tie above the right ear, which was considered
sufficient 70 produce instant death. 1t also
appeared that his throat must have been cut,
"a large quantity of blood remained on the
aoor, and 4 large puddle had run through the
aoor, and was 10 be seen in the bottom of the
cellar. The perpetrators Of tins foul and
bloody deed, In hopes 20 avoid detection, (at-
Ter tearing up the hearth for the purpose Of
finding money supposed to be hid there-) built
= FIRE. laid the head and breast upon it, then
took the straw from his bed, and threw it up
on him, and left, probably in hopes that the
house, together with the body, would be con-
suned, and thus leave no trace Of their hell
lsh act. Fortunately, however, the building
did not take fire, but the face, neck, breast
and abdominal parts were so burned as to
leave no trace of wound, except the one on
the head as before mentioned. We are glad
70 see the effort that is being made by our viii
lage authorities, to ferret out the perpetrators
Of this murder, and sincerely hope that they
nav succeed and that the men who could be
guilty Of such an act may meet with the pun
ishment they richly deserve.
