Serious Difficulty at Chihuahua.-The N. O..
Picayune translates from Mexican paper pub
ished at Chihuahua, the following account of
disturbance at Ell Passo, between the Americans
passing through and the Mexican authorities
1t appears that on the 9th July, an American
named John Hawk. while in a state of ntoxica-
ton, beat and terribly manned Mexican woma n.
Two Mexican non-commissioned officers, named
A!vlno Oivares, and Lorenzo Ortiz ran to pro-
ect her from further ill-usage, and restrain the
aggressor. Meanwhile the U. S. Consul, Mr.. ].
S. Lucas, accompanied by another American in
similar state Of drunkenness, drew near, and
commenced an assault en- the officers. A fight
ensued, which terminated in the three Americans
being overpowered, and conducted to the guard
house by Olivares. Here the lieutenant command
ing, called Lerma, endeavored to effect reconc-
lia,on, when one of them tore his shirt and coat.
Although they were set at liberty, all their cou
trymen, the Americans in the neighborfTood
threatened TO attack the city, chastise those who
had offended them, and eagerly profit by the quar-
rel above mentioned pretext for piIIaging the
inhabitants. This is the account given by the
authorities Of Canton Bravos in a letter Of com.
plains which they make TO the government of
Chihuahua.
The Mexicans say that there were on the 9th
Of August more than 500 Americans at Ell Passo,
and they were Apecting in The course of the next
three days 1000 more. They are all represented
TO be in such state of esiitution, that they have
no other resource than robbery. Eight days pre-.
viously they had threatened to attack the city,
under the pretence Of releasing an American who
was in Jail, and of killing criminal, named Ra-
mon Chavez, who had murdered two Americans
while they were asleep near SamuIuyucan. The
Mexican authorities say that they and the popula-
ton precisely IN The same position, in regard
to the Americans, as the lamb in the well known
fable of the lamb and the wolf. They further de-
clare that if not soon succored they will be sacri-
feed to the terrible Norte Amsrieanos. They ask
for few pieces of artillery, and 100 muskets, in
addition to those TO be forwarded 10 them through
Col. Ugarte.>
The Governor of Chihuahua, in reply to the
authorities at Canton Braves, inslructs them to
make judicial investigation of the complaints
against the on-commissioned officers, Ovares
and Ortic, and if they are guilty, to punish them
according to the laws of Mexico. They are to be
protected against the vengeance Of the Americans
Four field pieces are placed at their disposition,
and one hundred muskets more, to aid in arming
the National Guard. If the Americans commit

FROM MEXICO.

The schooner Heroine, Capt. Allen, which ar
rived at New Orleans on the 7th inst, brings the
following intelligence from Mexico
On the 10Th of July, two Americans. named
Geo. Cook and +. Fink, were assassinated in the
neIghborhood Of the farm Los Hornas in the State
OF Coahuiia. The murderers were arrested, and
at latest dates were awaiting their trial.
The wild Indians lately made an irruption into
the State of Coahuila, and advanced within EIGHT
leagues of Salto, robbng and numbering as !hev

Or the 18th of July tumult occurred at Ma
zatan. The chief municipal officer of that ctv
was endeavoring to pacify an American who,
pistol In hand. had put the whole population in
commoiion. Not succeeding, he was obliged to
have recourse to force, and he called several SOL
diers to carry him off TO prison. But the Amer.
can refused 10 surrender when one of the soldiers
with the sole object of lntndatiug, levelIed his
musket at him. On this The former discharged
his pistol, killing the Mexican on the spot The
lnha bltants wished to wreak vengeance on the
murderer, who took refuge in a house, but the al.
calde succeeded in Withdrawing him from popuIar r

element Gained for a moment soon broke out
afresh to The cry, thousand times repeated, of

within her reach TO the full extent Of her
capacity-to improve her agicultureEto
rear manuiactories-to create home mar
ket-to render her territory as desirable a
place of residence as possible for all men OF
active and industrious habts--above all, to
rear schools for the education Of her chill
dren, and to scatter learning broadcast
through the land.
There are signs, even here IN Virginia,
that this State Of things is about to come to
an end-the same signs appear much more
strongly in the region to the South Of US.
II begins to be apparent, that the only meth
cd by which we can become free OF the
thraldom under which we certainly lie to, our
brethren Of the North, is TO do as they do--
They have set us--the whole world--a no.
Bile EXAMPLE Instead Of quarrelling with
them, let us initiate them. Why should we
teel offended with them? The tribute which
they exact from US, is but the tribute which
enlightened industry has always fxacted,
and win always exact, frop careless indo-
lence. 1t is the tribute which Britain I'M
congenial, inhospitable Britain-1has exa1ted
for centuries from the sons Of ths@laore
favored Southern climes Of Europe. There
is but one way to fight our Northern breth-
rem, and that is neither with guns and bayo-
nets, nor yet with high words and angry
protests. Ours must be friendly fight
We must strive to see il we cannot manu-
iacture for ourselves--if we cannot learn the
great art Of economisng time, labor and
money, as they have done--if we cannot
fall upon some plan Of difusing education as
extensively as they have done-ilwe cannot
have our own schools and colleges as they
have--if we cannot furnish as good paper,
turn out as good printers, and establish as
good publishing houses as they. That is
the true way to check Northern aggression
That is the way to get a population proper
toned to our territorial limits-to command
the majority in Congress-and to set all
interference with our domestic institutions
at defiance. Richmond Wing.

NORTHERN AaaRE ssIoN.

1t cannot be denied, that we Of the South
possessing within ourselves all the means tc
make US great and Aourishing people,
have become tributaries to the North in a
degree which it is painful to contemplate
For this we blame not our brethren Of the
North, for ours is the tribute which indo-
lence and carelessness must always pay to
industry and enterprise Blessed in far
less degree with the elements Of wealth,
residing in climate which bears no com
parison with ours, comparatively destitute Of
the great mineral resources, which, if de-
veloped by the hand Of industry, would make
the Southern portions Of this Union the
wealthiest and most powerful section of our
Union, entirely dependent upon US for the
great staples by means Of which she rules
US as though we were her vassas, she has
contrived by sheer industry, directed by a
never failing sagacity, to render herself ne
cessary to our very existence. We can
scarcely move without her assistance In
every one of the daily avocations of life, in
the operations Of the farmer, and Of the me-
chanic, in the trade of grocer, and the dry
goods merchant, in the library Of the law
Yer and the shop Of the physician, we are
daily reminded Of the powerful hold which
she has upon US, and which she has been
enabled to obtain entirely by her superior
skill, enterprise and sagacity 1t is mel
ancholy reflection for us Of the South. When
we contemplate the rapid progress which
the North has made, we cannot but expert
ence the mingled, yet conflicting emotions
Of admiration and regret, admiration for the
wisely directed industry Of our Northern
brethren regret that we who possess so
many superior advantages, should be SO sadly
deficient in those qualities which have made
her spectacle to be admired by all man
kind, and without which the gold Of OpLir
and the silver Of Mexico are but as dust in
the balance.
In face Of all this, the South sits down
quietly, or contents herself with resolving
and protesting against Northern aggression
just as if she were not herself, every day
rivetting still faster the chains that bind le
to the North, and by her own incidence in,
creasing the temptation to intrude upon hel
rights. She has hitherto scarcely dreamed
Of the only edectual method to avert aggres.
sion from the North, or at least to set il al
defiance. Engaged as she has been, from
the foundation Of the Government, heart and
soul, in the great struggles which have taken
place upon the grand National arena, she
has scarcely had thought Of the far more
important interests which should have de-
manded her attention at home She has never
seemed to discover, until very lately, that
the true way to acquire weight, even at that
point where she has thought il most vaua-
bic, was to attend strictly to her own do
nestle concerns--to find employment for her
chidren--to encourage the growth Of all the
useful arts among her population--to de-
yelope the resources which God has placed
