From the Brazos.

The steamship Globe, Capt Ellery, arrived last
evening, so hours from the Brazos, bringing us an
extra Flag" of the llth, from which we extract
the following items:
THE CHOLERA.-The cholera has entirely dis
appeared from our town, and it has assumed its
wanted business appearance.
HORSES AND MULEs.-Large quantities of horses
and mu les are being daily brought in from the in
terror to the ranches surrounding Matamoros, to
supply tt e demands by the California emigrants
The pricS g range from Sl5 to S25 each, and the
market ak 'undantlY stocked.
CALICO RNIA EMlGRANTs.-Thec company of adj
venturous spirits for California, alluded to in our
last humble r, organized by Col. Henry L. Webb,
late comma ndant of the U. S. 9Th Infantry, aided
by Mr.. Al0 ubon, who goes ont as second in COM
mand, and commercial director, arrived per steamer
Globe, are now in our town.
MEXICAN ELECTIoN.-An election of corpora
ton officers for the city of Matamoros, took place
on Sunday last, (the 4th,) and Young Mexico
came offas efore completely triumphant. 1t will be
recoected 10y readers that the Governor of that
State, not eing pleased with the republican mode
in which the former election was conducted,
annulled TIE same. His Excellency has been re-
piled to by the reelection of the same officers He
will hardly dare to interfere again-but it is a
positive case of QUEEN sdbe.

evening were crowned with a tumut of applause
from an approaching and crowded audience
He takes rank with Lstz and DeMeyer; and
many of high musical attainments prefer his style

Shortly before these gentlemen left, the govern

castle at Merida for having been concerned in an
affair of honor They were, however, soon libe-
rated.
By this arrival we have file of Ell Boletin Off
cial de Merida, to the Nth ult. They contain no
news of special interest. The war, so far from be-
ing at an end, appears to be carried on with as
much activity, though it has far consisted of only
series of continual petty skrmishes, in which the
government troops are represented as uniformly
successful. The principal point of operations is
the town of 1ihosuco, which must be an important
place in military view, as the Indians have been
for some time collected around it in great numbers
appearing determined to capture it. On the 29th
of January force of 200 men was attacked by the
Indians, shortly having left Tfhosuco. They were
Immediately reinforced by $50 of the American
volunteers, when the battle became general, and
continued until three O'Clock in the evening" when
the Indians were dispersed On the same evening,
at place called Xcabil, there occurred an action
in which one officer and five men were killed ;
among them an American named Callahan. There
were II wounded, of whom was Major Linton, of
the American volunteers.

TREsPAss OF FOREIGNERS IN CALIFORNIA
Official Notification to Peru.-Papers from Peru
brought by the steamship Crescent City, shows thai
the policy of Gen. P. F. Smith, relative to trespass

other United States officers. The Peruano. O
Lima, publishes letter of J. Randolph CLAY.
Charge d'Affairs of the United States, to Don Fe.
lipe Pardo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
Republic of Peru. This letter. translated from the
Spanish, is as follows:
In the Commerce., of December 90, and in
several previous numbers, there is an advertise.
ment entitled 'Phanthropic Society of Califor.
ma, proposing the formation of company or asso-
uon to work the gold mines of California There
Is also reason to believe that similar companies have
been organized in Lacubayeque, Arequipo, and
other points OF the Republic of Peru, and that
many Peruvian citizens have gone are ready to 90
for the same object In addition TO this it appears
that the members of such associations and the emil
grants have resolved to explore the auriferous lands
or mines Of gold without taking into consideration
that they for the most part comprehended in the
domnions of the United States.

The Pdnameno, uhe first journal published at

gether with the declaration of Gen. Smith, and
then adds some indignant remarks, of which the
following is specimen:
Before seeing the preceding note of Gen. Smith
we had read in the Limano the above communica-

The GREEK SLAVE, AT THE STATE-HoUsE.-
We went yesterday to see the " Slave" which is
being exhibited for the benefit of Powers, at the
State-house, on Canal street, and our sense of the
artists genius was livelier than ever. 1t may be
that we were, by previous observation of the statue
better prepared than before for appreciation OF
its noble merits or it may have been that the light
in which we saw it was peculiarly favorable to
the exhibition of the Slaves" beauties. Certain
it is, however, that there was a new impression
made on us yesterday by our visit to the State
house. The marble of this statue is, as Mr.. Pow
ers himself said in letter to Mr. Robb, without
fault The cloudiness of the day sotened the light
that fell upon the marble. And whether it was the
mellow light, or a quality inherent in the statue,
we cannot say but the face of the Slave" at the
State-house. seemed to have sorrow more IN
mixed with pity and contempt than the one now
exhibiting at Cookies Gallery. The upper lip
seemed to be straightforward cured so much as that
of the Robb statue-while the beautiful curve of
the mouth was maintained in all its integrity. No
stranger should leave the city without visiting this
splendid specimen of American art. By going to
see the statue at the State-house, we declare our
belief in the honor and honesty of our iustrious
compatriot Powers, as well as do homage to his
transcendent and universally acknowledged genius.
1t is tribute to the man, well as to the artist
Mr. Kellogg's studio is adjoining the Hall, in
which the statue is exhibited and if the visitor
is so fortunate as to become acquainted with this
artist he should endeavor to get admittance to the
painters room. Mr.. Kellogg is now engaged in
painting Greek Girl "a portrait for which he
found the subject while residing in the East. The
piece is in miniature the artist intending to copy it
on larger scale. 1t is really exquisite, and is to
be engraved by Calamatta, of Paris, who has al
ready completed the engraving of ''The Circas.
sian, painting by MI. Kellogg, in the possession
of Mr.. Robb
