Will of the Late Gen. Gaines.

We publish the following will of the late
Gen. Gaines, which will be found of great
interest. The document was drawn up
by himself and is in his own handwriting:
In the name of God-Amen-I, Ed
mund Pendleton Gaines, being now in the
enjoyment of excellent health, for which
am duly thankful, but having arrived at
that period of life at which it becomes the
duty of men to hold themselves ready for
disease and death-and, moreover, having
this day learned, for the first time in the
course of my life, that my late marriage
contract will admit of a construction tend
ing to deprive my beloved wife, Myra
Clark Gaines, of the right of dover to
which she would have been entitled with
out such contract, do hereby ordain and
establish this to be my last will and testa-
ment-that is to say: First, hereby ap-
point my wife, Myra Clark Gaines, my
executrix; and my nephew, Francis S.
Lyon, of Demopolis, Ala; and my neph-
ew, Francis Young Gaines, of Mobile,
Ala; and Virgil Whitney, Esq, of Bing-
hampton, N. Y; and my son, Francis
Henry Toulman Gaines, of Mobile, Ala;
and my son, Edmund Pendleton Gaines,
jr., of Memphis, Tenn, my executors;
who are hereby authorized and requested
to pay my just debts, and then to divide all
the money and property owned by me at
the time of my death, equally between my
wife, Myra Clark Gaines, and my above
named sons, Francis IIeury Tuulrnan
Gaines, and Edmund Pendleton Gaines,
jr., share and share alike-any thing in
the said marriage contract to the contrary
notwithstanding. 1t is, however, to be
clearly understood, that the above devise
shall take effect only in the event of the
suits, brought or to be brought, for the re-
covery of the estate devised by Daniel
Clark to his daughter, the above-named
Mary Clark Gaines, as his devisee, or as
his heir at law, being decided against her
and her husband. Should the said suits,
or any of them, be decided in favor of the
said Myra and the undersigned, so as to
secure to her the whole or the principal
part of the said estate sued for, then, in
that case, my aforesaid executors and ex-
ecutrix are hereby authorized and reques-
ted to make such equitable distribution of
the estate to which the undersigned may
be entitled, as to them shall be reasonable
and Just. Should they disagree, they are
hereby authorized and requested to SUBJ
init the matter to the arbitration of mutual
friends, to be chosen by the said Myra
Clark Gaines OH the one part, and the said
executors on the other part My swords
OF honor arc TO be disposed of as follows:

The Austrians had quiet possession OF
Florence and Leghorn.
Field Marshal Redetzky was at the lat

Englc, and the officers of the steamship,
who were received with distinguished
consideration.
The Austrian troops at Florence were
under the command of Gen. Dasprc, and
the Florcntnes were paying Court 10 their
conquerors, who appeared to be enjoying
themselves.
Marshal Radctzky was received at Leg
horn with much enthusiasm, which was
unexpected by the foreign officers, who
had heard the boastings of those who de-
clared themselves Of the Republican party.
Capt. Engle has been in Italy from the
commencement of the late troubles. He,
with several of his officers, were in Rome

hostilities by the French.

of all fractions of the national party. Nor
had he met with less success in bending
them to his own wise and patriotic views.
By giving all the population of the villages
share in the nomination of s.the notary"
he had paved the way fora general scheme
of election by two degrees. Political
privileges were extended to all Hungary
and her dependencies, without distinction
of race or language. The Serfs were Sc
cured in the exercise of the worship of the
Greek Church. But Kossuth's ctowning
glory and most fortunate achievement was
to propose, as Finance Minister in the first
native Hungarian Ministry, the abolition
|of all seignorial rights, and the payment
by the State of full compensation to the ex-
|propriated nobility. The probable tactics
of the Austrian government wete thus an
ticipated and checked. In Gallicia that
government had not blushed or dreaded to
appeal to the most profigate lust of plum
der, and to arm the peasantry in servile
war against their feudal superiors. This
very year its organ; the Vienna Presse,
announced that ssthe way to govern Lom-
hardy is to ruin the rich,'' declaration
which was appropriately followed up by a
decree for the issue of S0,000,O0O assig-
mats, and by Marshall Radetsky's threat
of indemnifying the poor of Malin out of
the estates of the Litta's and the Borro-
meos. In the same spirit, Schlich and
Jellachich advanced into Hungary, and
officially promulgated promises of agrarian
partition. But the Hungarian population
remained deaf to these wicked and inf1am-
matory appeals. On the other hand, the
whole flower of the Magyar nobility are
serving Kossuth with the most honorable
devotion. Innumerable falsehoods have
been spread touching their alledged disaff-
lection. We can only select a recent one
las specimen of the rest. The cores
pondent of a London newspaper announced
a movement in favor of Austria among
"the magnates Of Presburg." The facts
of the case were briefly these: The
"magnates" in question were small knot
of Austrian ex-officials, who had come to-
gether and issued proclamation for the
levy of regiment in the imperial interest.
In three weeks they had mustered exactly
rs soldiers. Thus neither among the
Magyar chiefs, nor among the races that
were formerly under their rule, has koss-
uth's merited influence declined. The
Esterhazys, Telekis, the Bathyanys, the
Palfys-all have their representatives in
his councils Or his armies. He has been
able to publish the protestation of the
Croatian nation against the acts of Assem-
bly, which Jallachich convoked, under the
pressure of martial law, at Agram. A
Magyar, by his mothers side, and a Slo
vack on his fathers, he has become to all
parties and tribes in Hungary the repre-
sentative of united nationality. And
when the resumption of regular commune
cations admits the European public more
freely than is now the case to the interior
politics of Hungary, we believe that their
verdict will justify the enthusiastic unan-
unity with which his countrymen have at
last reposed all their hopes of independence
in kossuth's courage, wisdom, and perse-
verance.

collectors of that port. Gen. Inclan said
he could not rely on single soldier to
carry out the orders of the government,
and if he could he would not employ his
men agains! the sovereign people of Mazat-
Ian.
A letter from Matamoros to the .GgIo
says, that when the Indians were ravaging
the east bank of the Rio Grande, Gen. Av-
|alos offered his soldiers, who were drawn
up some time on the. Mexican side waiting
for permission to pass, which was denied
by the American commander.
Letters in the Tampico Noficioso, from
some Spanish California emigrants, speak
ldiscouragingly of the gold regions. They
say that the gold is undoubtedly to be OBJ
tanned; but at the expense of so much la
Dor and injury to health as to make it COM
paratively valueless. What made their
own position more disagreeable, was the
fact that any member of the Spanish A
merican race was universally detested.
Highway robberies continue as numeI-
Gus as ever on all the roads of Mexico

Late from Mexico.

A letter dated Corpus Christi, July 3d.
contains the following intelligence IN re-
gard to the Indians and the Sierra Madre
revolution:
Aletter was received here yesterday by
express from Laredo, giving the important
intelligence that train of U. S. wagons
had been attacked between San Antonia
and the Eagle Pass, twenty miles above
Preside Rio Grande, and thirteen team
sters killed, but one escaping. The In
dians took off all the mules. A company
of flying artillery arrived at Laredo on their
way to Leona, but on the 9th ult. they
were ordered back to the Rio Grandc city.
The citizens of Laredo, however, persua-
ded the officer in command to remain
there until an answer could be received
from Gen. Harvey, to whom an express
had been sent with request to have the
company permanently stationed at Laredo.
The writer says:-"Our neighbors on
the Mexican side of the river Rio Grande(
are in state of Great excitement. Pa
redes has pronounced for Santa Anna
The Mexican troops are all ordered away
from the line, and the National Guard has
been ordered from the frontier to Victoria.

for its object the declaration of indepen-

The Corpus Christi Star of the 3Oth,
gives us the following information in re-
gard to the Indians:
"The latest news received from Lieut..
Walker states that he was closely pursuing
the Indians, having been seen beyond the
Sulphur Springs, and from the freshness OF
the trail he thought he was quite near to
them. His horses were pretty well tired
out, but the men are represented as being
in high spirits at the prospect of speedily
Iovertaklng the savages, and expressed
| their determination to follow them on foot
should their horses give out. On Satur-
day last party of nearly one hundred In
dians made an attack upon the Rancho de-
Alazan, killed one man, Mexican named
Miguel Bocanegra, and three horses, and
drove off about twenty-five horses and a
bout one hundred head of cattle. The
| major domino of the ranch, Bias Falcon
narrowly escaped with his life; and after
pursuing him nearly to the house, the In.
dians sat down within full view and quiet.

soon as they left, information of the out
rage was sent to Tolosa, where party ol
twelve rangers, under Lieut.. Aikens, were
stationed. These Immediately started in
pursuit, but, through a mistake of their
guides, they missed the trail and returned
