Revolution in Northern NexIco.-Success of the In


The steamship Mexico arrived at New Orleans on
the 25th, with later advices from Texas. The long
threatened revolution has broken out ON the Rio
Grande, and promises to be ofa formidable charac-
ter. The insurgents. after capturing the govern
ment funds. had marched to join Carabajal who was
concentrating his forces near Monterey. The FL
Passo mail rider had been attacked by the Indians.
If our recollections of the late with Mexico
are correct this Carabajal is great scoundrel and
not more than half white We fear that the whole
affair is predatory in its character, and calculated
by the acts of few wild characters, to cast unde-
served censure upon the whole people Of the U. S.,
some of whom arc to be found in the ranks of the
insurgents. Gems. Guerrero and Canales are also
connected with the affair.

Procession aud Practice.

Every person with whom we have .conversed, whose
business or pleasure has carried him to the North
during the present season, bears testimony to the
fact that the number of Southerners to be met with in
the Northern States during the summer just past was
larger than ever before Acquaintance were to be
met with at every turn, and among the loudest de-
nouncers of all Northern men and things, and of all
intercourse with the Northern States. There is such
a thing as consistency and there is such thing as
lack Of it. Which of these things is indicated by
the facts stated is easy to judge The medicinal eff
fects of Saratoga remarkable, giving immediate
relief in cases of plethora of the purse.

The FAYETTEVILLE Mall.


We learn that it is very thing indeed that
the cars from this place connect at Warsaw with
the stage for Fayetteville the latter having very
generally gone before the arrival of the former For
a month past the boats have been detained by the
prevalence of North East winds. and the wait
for them until II to o'clock they have not reached
Warsaw before to 4. The Stages leave Warsaw
always at r. and of course no connection is eff
fected. This accounts for the Wilmington mail be-
ing always day late in arriving at Fayetteville
Those who labour under the pleasing deception that
there is daily mail from Wilmington to Fayette-
Vile, had better be appraised of their mistake. 1t
does not exist the four horse coaches to the contra
ry notwithstanding. This state of things is wholly
unnecessary. There is no connection to be made at
Fayetteville and the two three hours that the dri
yer of the stage might have to wait at Warsaw for
the cars would make no difference. Indeed, under
the most favorable circumstances the cars do not
always get to Warsaw at II, even when they leave
here at the regular hour. This thing both could
and should be remedied
