CHARLESTON, Thursday Oct. 80.
We have news from Northern Mexico up

troops having been fired upon from Masamo-
ras, they rushed into the city, and seized up
on the Custom House, but were afterwards
compelled 10 retire with the luss of three
men. The loss of Government troops in
this skirmish is said to have been heavy.
Caravajal was hourly expecting large re-
Inducements, and had made preparations for
storming Matamoras next morning.
A large body of Mexican reinforcemen,s,
sent from Tampico and Vera Crux, had ar
rived al Brazos, but, hearing there was de.
tuchmen, Of two hundred Texans between
them and Matamoras, they concluded MOTTO
proceed any further.
Many OF the United States troops had de-
serted aud joined Caravajal's army.
A later report says Matamoras was cap
,ured on Friday or Saturday.
Orders have been forwarded to the De
panmen. in this city for more troops for ,h'

The resignation Of the Locofoeo
Senators and breaking Up Of the
Legislature to prevent the passage Of
the Canal Enlargement bill, has pro-
duced no little excitement in New
York. Elections have been ordered
TO fiIl the Senatorial vacancies, and
the friends and opponents Of the
measure are vigorously at work to
secure the ascendancy. Old party
lines are measurably broken down in
the contest, and many prominent
Democrats are laboring manlully
with the Wings in favor Of Canal
Enlargement candidates in the con-
tested districts. Numerous public
meetings have been held, and among
the earnest advocates OF The Canal
policy, we notice the son Of De Witt
Clinton, Messrs. Smith and Rogers
OF Buffalo, and Mr.. Beardsley Of
Oswego. John Van Buren has taken
the stump in opposition to the Canal
Enlargement. The resigning Sena-
tors are candidates for reelection,
but the indications render il almost
certain that enough of them will be
rejected by the people to secure the
passage Of the Canal bill at the extra
session Of the Legislature. The Wing
press OF the State has dropped al
differences, and rallied with the
strength of unity in support of the
important measure to New York and
the Commerce Of the West. We
are pleased TO see that the Buffalo
Courier one Of the ablest Democratic
journals Of New York, is also doing
good service for the policy of the
older and the younger Clinton.

CENSUS OF THE CHERoKEEs.-The
Cherokee Advocate says the census Of
the Cherokee Nation is nearly compile
ted. 1t is thought that the number Of
emigrant Cherokees will not much ex-
ceed thirteen thousand; that of the old
settler Cherokees, according to Browns
Roll, will not exceed three thousand;
thus making the whole Cherokee pop
ulation about sixteen thousand, exclu-
sive of white and blacks. There is a
remnant of the Chrokees yet in North
Carolina. When they are collected in
their fertile country on the borders OF
Arkansas they will number nearly twen-
ty thousand.

left this country for the Worlds Fair
was collection of portraits in daguer-

BY an enterprising daguerreotypist Of
Washington city. The plates, of the
largest portrait size were placed in ele-
giant gull. frames, several of which
were hung togsther in large gilt frames
set with glass. and having background
of black velvet. The contrast presen-
ted by the black and gold gave the
whole very rich appearance.

A foot race of ten miles. was run at
ST. Louis on the I4th, for a purse of
S4o0, between the American deer. Jack.
son, and the Buffalo Indian, Coffee
The race was won by Jackson, who
made the ten miles in 55m. 34s., beat
ing Coffee I'm. 21s.-his time being
59m. 13s. Both, it will be seen, run
the ten miles under an hour. The two
kept very well together, Coffee follow
ing close behind Jackson nearly the en-
tire time, and passing him on several
occasions only when near the judges
stand. On the first stretch OF the ninth
mile, however, it became evident that
the Indian was rapidly losing ground.
At the back stretch he had fallen nearly
nehundred Yards behind his adversary, =,
and al the third turn, had lost fully two
hundred yards. At the next and last
mile, the contest was fully unequal
The Indians evident failure appeared
to invigorate Jackson, who ran better in
this than. any Of the preceding miles,
J save the first.

Altogether. we think there is considerable

object is to create sympathy in this country
for the purpose of enlisting Americans on the
side of the revoIutionists, knowing that in
such an event, with a good leader, victory
would be certain to crown their efforts.

of the crater, which is several thousand
feet below the level Of the sea, to drain

FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY.-Mr.
Harvey, Rocky Mountain trader, oi
St. Louis, reached that city on the 91st
from Fort Campbell, at the falls of the
Missouri, bringing with him some seven
thousand buffalo robes.
He reports that the Sioux tribe OF In
dians were suffering terribly with bilious
and pulmonary complaints, and that the
Punkahs and Iowas were dying in large
numbers with the small Pox. Buffalo
were very scarce at the head waters Of
the Missouri. The Blackfeet and
Crows were suffering the last extremity
of destitution from this cause; some
thirty of the former tribe having lately
died from actual starvation.
