Atten,pt to Break Jaik--A desperate and daring
attempt to break Jail was made on the 18th ult by
three Germans, confined in the Middlesex, N. j.,
Jail. II appears one Of them asked permission of
an under keeper to wash shirt, who directed a
boy, who is also confined, to bring tub Of water
into his cell for that purpose. As soon as the cell
was opened, another one seized the undsr-keeper
by the throat, while the other succeeded in getting
some Of the keys and released the third one. All
three Of them now being in the hall Of the Jail. they
attempted to lock up the under-keeper, but he sus
tanned himself against them until the sheriff was
alarmed, who came, armed with a revolver, and Sc
cured them without difficulty.

Unnatmrol--In Cincinnati tragical and I'M
natural deed was recently perpstrated, which, in
all probability, will cause the death of worthy
young man, named Lewis Houseman, Watch
man Of Ninth Ward Barnard Houseman, in par
tial state Of intoxcation, was creating disturb
ance in the street, when his son Lewis approached
and told him be was watchman, and must pre-
serve the peace, begging him At the same time to
be quiet. With an expression Of rage, the father
in IN instant drew long knife, and springing on
his son, plunged it twice into him, once in the
left side Of the neck, and once in the abdomen. =
Later advices state that it is thought the young
man, Lewis, will recover from his wounds. He
was called up before Magistrate for trial ON the
9th, and bail in the sum of $4,000 required, to
swer to the charge Of an assault, with intent to
kill The magistrates office was densely throng-
Cd during the trialthat apprehensions were enter

it is said, has evinced much contrition since the
occurrence, and ascribes the whole affair to his un.
fortunate habits Of intemperance.

GEN. Houston AND THE TERRITORIAL CLAIMS
OF TExAs.-In the course of speech made by
Gen. Houston. on a late visit to Galveston, where
he was cordially received and welcomed he took
occasion to refer to that measure OF the Compro-
mise which adjusted the disp uted boundaries be-
tween Texas and New Mexico, and appropriated
to the former large sum of money. sketch
OF Gen. Houston's Speech as given in the Gal
weston Journal, says:
"He alluded to the sale of the Santa Fe terri
tory, and thought if there was any thing wrong
in the trade, it was that Texas had got little
more than the country was worth; but, as he &C
ted only in the capacity OF agent of the people
that responsibility must rest on their consciences
Texas he said, had but claim to Santa Fe, anc
that the Government of Texas, from 1888 to 1S4l
had weakened that claim by offering in substance
to treat with New Mexico as a foreign Power
1t is not only true that the Government O
Texas had weakened the claim in question by
offering in substance to treat with New Mexico
as foreign Power, but it is also true that the
Government of the United States had made sim
liar recognition. The law of drawbacks, passed
during Mr.. Folks administration and after the an
nexaton OF Texas. recognised Santa Fe as s
place beyond the limits of the United States and
as the possession of a foreign Power. There
were indeed contradictory acts of legislation by
Congress on this subject, and the whole matter
became so complicated that general measure O.
compromise, without going into particular details
was deemed advisable under the circumstances
The opinion, however, expressed by Gen Hous
| ton, in reference to the claim of Texas, enter
tanned as it is very generally by dispas.onate
men North and South, comes OPPORTUNITY enough
| at this time to rebuke the extravagant language
of the Secessionists, who pretend that Texas was
wronged in that transaction. and that the rights
of the South were consequently impaired. Ball

Jenny Lind and Can't. Vest of the Atlantic.

Yesterday morning about six o'clock the word was
gwen that III" Atlantic" was coming up the bay, and
altnough the hour early and the day was the Sab
path, throDgs OF citizens rushed to the North River
piers to welcome the favorte. AS soon as she came
IN sight, she was hailed with every token orejocing
cannon we're fired, despite the day fag-salutes were
offered by the shipping in the harbour; hearty cheers
were given at every point, and cloud OF handker-
chiefs waved in welcome. At the foot OF Canal
street small army had gathered and they made their Joy
manifest in long continued cheers which were returned
by the passengers on board All day there crowds
OF people at the piers near the ship, gazing her if
she were old friend, and con2rauating each other
upon her return
AT the same hour that Capt West was sandn g into
our Bay, Jenny Lind was rapidly approaching The City
from the North, on Board the Isaac Newton Soon
after she landed she heard the story OF the arrival of
the Atlantic, and without waiting for a moments
rest, she ordered carriage and proceeded to the Col
Inns pier the vessel Just coming into The dock and
Jenny obliged to wait nearly half an hour before the
gangway plank was hauled up; but as soon as it was
made fast, she fastened aboard her old friend
Capt West, whose kind attention to her, while on
her way to this country, one year ago, she has
tor moment forgotten. Their meeting quite I'M
expected the hour before, and for that it all
tine more cordial When the :Atlantic" left her in De.
cember, Jenny went down expressly TO bid Capt West
good bye and was among the last to leave The pier,
waving her handkerchief response to the bowling of
the gallant Captain as long az he was in sight
That the two should arrive, from different worlds
as it were at the same hour, afer long time and
such varied fortunes, little singular, and added
interest TO meeting which must have been gratifying
under Eany circumstances. There is a touch of ro-
nance about it which might be the text for any num-

OF old poneers-of their long aid bleody wars with
the Indians and final redemption of the land from sa-
wage thraldom. Nothing, surely, can be more inte-
resting the people of Eastern Virginia than recital
OF the stirring which marked the progress of the
West.
For more than twenty years the frontier OF Virginia
was one continual scene OF alarm, conflict, con1agra-

pursued the victim to the heart of the forest and spread
death and terror in every direction.
The author, DR.. De Hass, has collected all the more
stirring incidents connected with the settlement of the
country and spread them before in the most attrac
tive form. His character for research integrity and
ability bear no doubt The work is, in every respect
just what such history should be.
