ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN MExrco.-

ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN MExICo.--
We learn from gentleman who has
recently returned from the Rio Grande,
that a revolutionary party has been or
ganized in the departments of Tamaulpas,
Nuevo Leon and Coahuila. sufficiently
powerful he thinks. to expel the govern.
ment troops, and establish an indepen-
dent government in all the valley of the
lilo Grande, east Of the Sierra Madre
Their plans are now SO we'll matnred
that decisive blow will probably be
struck i'll few weeks. A large number
of volunteers from Texas have been en-.
listed, aud large quantities of arms, vm.
niunltion and military stores, have been
procured to carry OH the war agains! the
central government. Upwards of two
hundred Texian volunteers were encamp.
ed near Roma few weeks since, watt
ing for orders from Canales and his asso.
ciates. 1t is said that Gen. Avalos and
1be other officers in command of the
Mexican forces, are aware that the great
mass Of the people of those departments
are opposed to the central government,
and they have intimated to the leaders Of
the revolutionary party that they can
offer but feeble resistance if a respec-
table military force is brought to operate
against them. 1t is also said that Gen
Avalos has actually removed portion of
his property to Brownsville, in antieipa-
lion Of the success Of the revolutionary
party. Carabajal at present is the osten.
sible commander of the revolutionary
forces; bnt as soon as offensive operations
are commenced, it is probable thas Cana
les will take the command in person.
The Americans along the Rio Graude are
quite confident that this movement will
be successful, as the central government
is so destitute of means that it is unable
to pay the soldiers now stationed along
the frontier, aud they are consequently
very much dissatisfied. 1t is believed
that large number of the government
troops will Join the standard of Cara baial
as soon as it is displayed on the west
bank of the Rio Grande. Many of the
merchants on this side of the river are
willing to aid the revolutionary party,
as they have suffered severely from the
impositons OF The Mexican customhouse
officers. The trade of Brownsville, Roma
and most of the towns on the east bank
of the Rio Grande has lately been almost
ruined by the Mexican revenue officers,
who have endeavored by the most tyran-
from trading with any Of the towns or
settlements in the interior.

MIXED Corror.-We have. on formse

MIXED CorToN have. on forme,
occasions, called the attention Of plant
ers to the existence Of an evil which
loudly calls for remedy. We refer to the
culpable negligence of many whose duty
It is to attend to the packing of cotton.
as shown by the frequent discovery Of
mixed bales, viz: bales that are found TO
contain two, three or more qualities and
colors. This negligence often leads to
vexatious reclamations, and sometimes TO
expensive lawsuits. as it generally hap
pens tina; the discovery is not made until
the cotton has reached the hands of the
manufactures, at a distant market
Then, if any portion Of the bale is found
TO be inferior in quality to the sample by
which it was purchased, the whole bale
is reduced to the value of the lowest
grade found. and the difference reclaimed.
Nor is this all, for reclamations are some-
times insisted on even when purchase
has been made by sample of the lowest
grade. OH the ground that mixed bales
are unmerchantabe. Thus the planter

which careless packing has mingled in
the same bale, but is called upon 10 pay

this, when the Irregular packing is once
discovered, as it necessarily must be,
somewhere and at some time, it throws
discredlt upon the planters crop general
~, and thus operates TO disadvantage
1t sometimes happens that the discovery

samples from different parts Of bale
When this is the case the factor eau SELL

planter, but is also productive Of many

STEWARDS Day GooDs PALACE.-The
enlargement of the magnificent marble
structure of A. L. Stewart & Co., has
been completed, aud the new wing will
be open to the public on Monday. This
palace Of dry goods is probably the
most beautiful and costly building ever
erected for such purpose in any city In
the world. and is one of the lions TO be
noted by visitors in New York. 1t is
five stories high, and now extends from
Reade to Chambers street, fronting one
hundred and fifty-one feet on Broadway.
1t fronts one hundred feet on Chambers
street, and its length on Reade street is
one hundred and twenty seven feet
There are also large vaults beneath the
street, two hundred and seventy-eight
feet i'll length. well lighted by numerous
gratings, so we'll finished that it is diff
cult for visitor TO realize that he is under
ground. Below these. and extending un-
der the whole building. are vast cellars,
stored with goods not required for imme-
diate sale. The average value of stock
in the store is upward Of two millions OF
dollars, and when the reader considers
that it is usual i'll flourishing business
to turn over stock at least three and four
times year, he may form some idea Of
the immense trade transacted.
The salaries Of the clerks and porters
employed in the establishment, amount
TO more than one hundred thousand dol
lars year. 1t is rule of the firm to
paw every boy who enters their service
something from the start, although of all
places in the world this is the one in
which the knowledge Of business ac-
quired might be most fairly considered
all equivalent for the first years labor.
The fixed and inva:iable prce attached
10 each article, the division os the estab-
lishment into distinct departments for
each species of goods, and all the other
arrangements, are so systematized that
the most perfect order prevails, aud the
visitor is struck with the clock-like regu-
Iarity and precision with which every
operation is performed. a visit to
"Stewart's" will always be remembered
with pleasure. No one can view the
splendid bnilding. the immense stores OF
goods of every texture, hue, and descri2-
sion, the rapid and yet quiet manner in
which the sales are effected and delivery
dispatched, without feeling that he has
before him striking example Of the gIo-

even in their trade outrival the display of
the titular mobiles OF the old world. y o.

HE COLLECTOR AT New ORLEANS.

HE COLLECTOR AT New ORLEANS
Some of the ultra Locofoco papers per-
slst in heaping abuse upon President
| Fillmore and his Cabinet for what he has
done to execute our treaty stipulations
with Spain. and the laws of the United
States for the preservation of our neutral
relations with powers at peace with us.
They are not content with this. but GEN.
sure the Administration for not having
done more to prevent the execution OF
our iellOw-citizens taken in arms against
the Spanish government of the Island OF
Cuba 1t was not enough to despatch a
national ship to Havana, with all agent
lnsIl lucted to inquire into the facts attend
lng the capture and execution of these
men, aud the conduct of our consul. In
the opinion OF these disconLented croak.
ers, the President should not only have
assumed the facts connected with the
conduct of the consuI aud the Cuban
authorities and dismissed the consul
without inquiry, but he should moreover,
have chaStlsed the captain general Of
Cuba, aud taken, towards the govern
nent OF Oid Spain, an attitude threaten
ing hostilities. dnd
In relation to the transactions at New
Orleans and elsewhere, the Admlnlstfa-
Lion, in :he opinion of these croakers,
should have closed its eyes aud ears, aud
rejected all evidence of any movement
by restless and ambitious men 10 violate
our laws and colnnromis Us III our rela-
tions with other powers The Pfesl-
dent. they think, had no right TO olnterrupt
the movements of the "PatrioIs, hi-
busters and outlaws, though those move
ments tended inevitably to plunge our
nation in war. War is the element of
thrift to such spirits and all who aspire
to the glory of ''conquering peace. -
Ii his instructions to subordinate officers
were disregarded, or openly violated to
aid bands of laWless men, the President
should take no notice of their disobed-
ence, but regard his own orders and the
requirements of law as mere matters to
be trampIed upon with impunily. To
remove all officer for violating the law.
or the instructions of the Executive, is
denounced as high-handed tyranny, and
the connlvances of the officer in the vio-
lation of law, aud his contempt OF orders,
is auded as highly cominendabe. The
President, when he learned that the COL
lector al New Orleans had not only neg
lected ali measures to prevent the fitting
out III that city of the iiIega! expedition
against Cuba, but had actually refused to
lie informed by Gen. Twiggs of the
movement, with an offer Of The troops
uuder his command, to enforce obedience
to the laws, ISSUED all order removing the
collector from office. In dong SO, the
President did precisely as he ought to
have done. and his conduct will meet the
appreciation OF the country i'll that par
ticular, as il will in all the other steps
he has taken to execute the laws OF the
land. preserve the peace of the country
and keep its faith with foreign powers.

TRULY SINGULAR-What will the
medical faculty think of the following,
which was related to US yesterday, as an
undouhted fact, by one OF the oldes: and
most respectable citizens Of the State
During the prevalence Of the cholera
this season, a member Of family, not FAR
from his locality, was suddenly taken
down with the most violent symptoms OF
lncipient Asatic Cholera. The colaps-
ed state of the disease soon succeeded,
and in few hours the victim was a
corpse. In day OF two after, another
member of the family was taken, and
shared the same fate; and thus the fell
destroyer proceeded until six members OF
the same family We're consigned to the
bosom of their mother earth. What Is
remarkable about the above is, that three
of these victims died, whilst staying at
great distance in the country, whence
they had gone for security, straw bed, on
which one OF them died, was taken out
and emptied Of its contents; number OF
hogs belonged to the farm, bedded them
selves in the straw, and strange TO say,
every one died. They numbered in all,
seven. We do not recollect an instance
of malgnancy in disease more striking
or terrible than this.-Dubuqwe Express.

Melamcloly Death.-It is with deep
regret we learn the death Of Captain
James Steuart, of the mounted rifles, in
fight with Major Kearny's command
with the Indians. The gallant Steuart
was in command Of a party Of some
twenty men, on the 18th July, when
they come upon an ambuscade. In the
encounter Steuart shot at an Indian,
missing him, which without waiting to
draw his sal bre, rushed upon him with
the butt of his pistol The Indian with
the energy of despair struck an arrow
through him. He lived till the next day
when he expired, saying: ut is too hard,
after passing through the battles OF
Mexico, to die by the arrow of an In
dian IN Oregon"
Major Kearny found the Indians all
the way down very hostile, and they
stood up to the last in the fights. BY
taking different track from the usual
route he surprised them in their haunts,
and routed hem in every action. A great
many were made prisoners. We have
no doubt that severe lesson was given
them.
Major KearEy-who, our readers will
recoIect, lost an arm at the batteries OF
the gate OF San An;onio of the city of
Mexico---in the expedition above alluded
10, commanded party Of about eighty
or one hundred men of the mounted
rifles on their way from Fort Van
Couver. Columbia River, to Benecla,
California, where they are to join the LIST
Regiment of Dragons.
There was not in the army a more
gallant or deserving officer than Cap,
tain Steuart whose death we have above
referred to. 1t is recorded of him, Off,
ciaLLy. that in the capture of the City OF
Mexico. he was the first to enter every
battery from the foot of Tehnantepec to
the .Garita of Beien," his regiment, the
Mounted Rifles, leading on that occa-
sion, under now Lieut.. Col. Loring, who
lost his arm at the Garita.
The deceased soldier was son of MIR.
Steuart, distinguished editor at one
time of the Charleston Mercury, and
nephew of Senator Rhett of South Car
olina.
In his death the nation has sustained
a severe loss. his family a heavy bereave-
ment,. his regiment an officer, comrade,
and most accomplished gentleman.

How TO GET TO SLEEP.--How to get
to sleep, is TO many persons a matter OF
high importance. Nervous persons who
are troubled with wakefulness and ex-
citabili,y, usually have a strong tenden-
cy Of blood to the brain, with cold ex-
tremetes. The pressure Of blood on
the brain keeps it in stimulated or
wakeful state, and the pulsations in the
head are often painful. Let them rise
and chafe the body and ex,remities with
rough towel, or rub smnrtly with the
hands to promote circulation, and to
withdraw the excessive amount OF blood
from the brain, and they will fall asleep in
few minutes. A cold bath, or sponge
bath, and rubbing, or good run, or a
rapid walk in the open air, or going up
and down stairs few times just before
retiring, will aid in equalizing circula-
ton and promoting sleep These rules
are simple and easy Of application in
castle or cabin, and may minister TO the
comfort of thousands who would freely
expend money for an anodyne to pro
mote Natures sweet restorer, balmy
