The TEN MILE FoorRAcE.-The interesting
race between Jackson, the American Deer" and
Coffee, the Indian, off according to announce
ment on the Prairie course track, at three o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. 1t will be recollected that
the men ran for purse of four hundred dollars, to
be given to the victor, and as Coffee had beaten
jackson recently at Cincinnati, great interest was
manifested in the result of this race. The men in
This case, made capital race, keeping close to-
pether for eight miles, when Coffee, the Indian, be.
gan to flag, while Jackson, the Deer, ever me nded
his pace, up to the end of the race of ten mi les
which he accomplished in the very quick time of
ffty-eight minutes and thirty four seconds Coffee
ran his ten miles in fifty nine minutes and thirteen
seconds. When it is considered that the track was
heavy and wet, the time is probably as good as
| ever has been made under the circumstances. MOI
less than fifteen hundred persons were present tc
witness the race, which really was very interesting

FROM HAYTI.--The advices at Boston are con-
Trajectory relative to the Of the attempt OF
the three Powers to settle the difficulties between
the Haytens and Domncans. The Boston Jour
nal says that truce has been completed, as stated
in our telegraph report yesterday The Traveller
says that the Chambers have not yet made the de-
cision the subject.
The Haytien Government was about to issue
$4,000 900 in paper money, and 100000 in cop
per coin.
The Traveller furnishes the following informa-
lion relative to Bobo. the principal in the late
insurrection:
Bobo is upward of seventy-fve years of age.
He was a chief among the blacks at the time OF
their rising against the French when the terrible
massacre of whites took place, and since then has
been second only to the President or Emperor lie
quite illiterate not being able to read or write
and this is supposed to be the reason that his name
was not found attached to the papers connected
with the Socialist rebellion. The letters from the
Cape state, that after Bobo refused to go to The
capital at the command of the Emperor, he wen
into the noun tans, but afterwards returned to thu
Cape. Here the authorities after hot debate con
cuded to take him prisoner and sent fifty horse
men and fifty foot in pursuit, but they were to-
late. He had escaped"
A letter from Port au- Prnce, dated April %
mentions a report that Bobo had made good hi
escape to the Dominican part Of the Island. 1t
said that General Bottex will be made ch ief of tn
reimbursement OF the North in his place.

Another splendid hotel is to be erected on Broad

be the most elegant structure Of the kind in the

Haight, Esq., and the architects Messrs.
French & Snooks The cost of the erection is es-

From Texas,

We received by mail, yesterday, our files Of
Texas papers. Latest dates from Galveston are to
the 18th.
Me Crops.-The Matagorda Tribune of the
the 10Th says:
=" The heavy rains experienced here for some
time past, appear to have been very general
throughout the whole State, the little damage
of the crops msre especially in the Trinity, Brazos
and Upper Colorado bottoms. The crops are said
to be unusually promising in the Caney region, and
we do not understand that any serious injury has
been sustained in that section from the rain.
The Washington Lone Star
says that the present is the most backward Spring
is has known in twelve years residence in Texas.
The damage by the overflow Of the Brazos was
more serious from the late period at which it oc-
Cured. The Stars representation of the prospects
for crops in that section are very Encouraging.
Sugar Cane Of Teras.-The Galveston Journal
says it has been remarked by gentlemen, direct
from the Brazos valley, in passing up the Missssip-
pi lately, that the sugar of Texas general
thing was superior to that of louisiana

more generals, colones and majors in the field than
there were at San Jacinto, where Gen. Houston
