Further advices from the City of Mexico re-
port that much of the excitement existing in the
city, was occasioned by the action of Congress
in pardoning the assassins of Dr. Beistique. 1t
will be remembered that about two months since
DIR. Beistique "a celebrated physician) and an
other gentleman were assassinated while riding
in carriage near the city. The murderers
were arrested tried and convicted, but subse-
quently pardoned by a special act of Congress,

SANTA FE.-A correspondent of the Missou-
ri Republican writes from Santa Fe, up to
March 26th, thus of the Indian tribes in that
neighborhood:
For more than three years past, and up to
the establishment of Fort Defiance, in the Ma
vajo country, by Col Sumner, we have been in
constant difficulty with them, and also the Utahs,
Jicarillas CHickarias) and Apaches, Indian tribes
who wholly encrcle New Mexico AT present
we are at peace with all but the Apaches.-
With the large and powerful tribe of Navajoes,
we are on the most friendly terms. They are
now busily engaged in planting their crops,
which for the two years past they had neglect
ed, and indicate in all their conduct, determi-
nation to be of good behavior hereafter. With
the Utahs all is quiet, and the Jicarillas mix
among us as though no difficulty had existed be-
tween us. All this has fortunately been accom-
plshed without the shedding of blood, and is
justly attributable to the policy and good man.
agement of COL Sumner whose humanity and
experience has taught him to subdue the Indi-
ans rather by improving their condition, than by
examination. Very soon after the establishment
of Fort Defiance in the Navajo country they
sued for peace, and were met by Col. Sumner
and Gov Calhoun.
With the ella Apaches, rs | before stated,
we have difficulty. But it is very reasonably
expected that Fort Webster, lately established
in their country. will in short time, have the
same influence on them that Fort Defiance has
already had on the Navajoes. In the late out
break of the Apaehes, am very sorry to say
that the whites were the aggressors. For some
time previous no injury had been sustained from
them. They were in the daily habit of visiting
our settlements, and unfortunately, at San An
tonia, village near the Sonora, Mexican, with.
out provocation, murdered two of them, and
dangerously wounding third. The Indians
came in the next day, and demanded that the
murderer should be confined for trial. This
was done, and they left satisfied: but they had
no sooner gone than the murderer was released.
AS soon as the Indians heard of this they natu-
rally became Infatuated; and to it, may be at
trbuted all the murders and robberies that have
since been committed by them.

A FIRST RATE NoTIcE.-The N. Y. Herald of
the lSth mentions that Lola Monies arrived
in that city on the day previous, and took mag
nifcent private apartments in Warren street.
She left Rochester at eight o'clock on Sunday
night. During her visit to western New York,
she has performed IL tines danced 30 pas, made
eight speeches. smoked 6fty.fve cigareetts, de-
lighted ten towns, astonished six railroad con-
ductors, blown up six hotel keepers for bad fare,
denounced the Jesuits forty times, quarrelled
with two managers and lectured four love-strick-
en- youths. She will soon play in the new piece
which has been written for her, in which the
good King of Bavaria, pair of Jesuits, Kos
suth, and three red republicans, will all be put
on the stage in full character. None of the
wandering princes, counts, barons, or chevaliers
from Europe, with heavy moustaches, need call
upon her. She keeps stout Irishman, six feet
high, at her door, with orders to knock down all
such visitors at their first appearance-price if-
ty cents piece, for every clear case Of deliver
ance.

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

We know of no insurmountable objections to
the measure, the title of which, as passed by the
National representatives, is the subject Of our
present remarks.
The BILL which confers upon every man the
right to select for settlement and cultivation,
portion Of the public domain, the fee simple of
which is to be inalienably vested in himself and
his family, will work out, we think, beneficial
mission, in securing home to every American
citizen, who Is sufficiently Industrious to COM
ply with its acquisitions. Its passage in the pop
ular branch of Congress is a strong indication
of the feelings of the people in its favor, and
We believe that whatever may be its fate in the
Senate at the present session, the enactment Of
a law apparently SO eminently calculated to ben
eft the masses, will be heralded throughout the.
country with universal reclamation.
This disposition Of the public lands we con-
slider far wiser and more generally beneficial
more in accordance with the true spirit and in
tent of our equal republican institutions than
any of the other projects which have heretofore
engaged the attention Of our National Legisla-
ture. The revenue derived from the public do
main has already become small item in the list
of receipts with which to cover an annual ex-
penditure of fifty millions of dollars, and it
would seem to be far more appropriate to be-
stow the lands, to be improved by actual set
tiers, than to hoard their limited proceeds, with
the delusive expectation of their ever amounting
to sum sufficient materially to balance the nc
count Of annual expenditures.
The promotion of works Of internal improve
ment in the several States, by their means, is Of
course, useful enterprise so far as it goes
This may still be continued without initiating
against the claims of the settlers to their right
full share of the government domain. The hun.
dreds of millions of acres of virgin soil lying
broadcast throughout the entire West, will suf-
flee for both these important objects.
| The subdivision of land among multitude of
small proprietors, will tend more than any one
thing else to secure the laboring classes Of this
Union against becoming the victims of an OPP
preston similar to that entailed upon European
operatives. 1t will constitute for them, as it
were, another "cty of refuge" to which they
may flee when the despotism of capital bears up
on them too grievously for sufferance. Every
acre secured in fee and perpetuity to the man
and his descendants, is barrier against the en-
croachments of irresponsible power, and this
Homestead bill appears to be an important step
towards the ful6ment of work so just and be-
nificent. Free Press.

GETTING UP EARLY-For once in their lives,
the Wings Of this State are going to try the
experiment of making early nominations. They
have called State Convention to meet at Mar
shall, on Thursday, the fist of July next, for
the nomination of State officers and Presiden-
tial electors. This is something so out of the
ordinary rules of Wing tactics, that it takes
many of the party by surprise. Their course
has been uniformly, heretofore, to wait till after
the Democrats had made their nominations and
then shape their own nominations so as to make
out of such individual preferences and local
preudices as could, by any possibility, be bro't
to bear in their favor. The Detroit Advertiser
is entitled, we believe, to the credit of bringing
about this change in the system of wing politi-
cal warfare. Whether the party will reap all
the advantages anticipated by the editor of that
paper, is yet predetermined. There is, at least
a look of manliness about the operation which
stands out in strange contrast with the policy
and usages of by-gone days. Watchtower.

The CHoLERA.-Late advces from the vi
cinity of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, bring
rumors of the prevalence of disease nearly re-
sembling cholera, on those waters. A gentle
man who returned to this city day or two
since, from that quarter, reports the occurrence
of several sudden deaths on the steamer, on
which he came passenger from Louisville to
Cincinnati. What this disease may prove to
be, we know not, but one thing we do know,
and that is it behooves our authorities and our
citizens generally to be vigiant in the use of
all the means at their command for the cleans
ing and disinfecting of every part of the town.
1t is well known that in the year lS49, when
many places in this region of the country were
devastated by this pestilence, Detroit, owing to
the precautions of the City Council and the in
habitants, was passed over by the destroying
angel. Shall we not then, in view of the an.
nouncement of the recurrence of disease upon
the Western waters, at once set to work to
place our beloved city in clearly condition,
such as will not invite the advent of the pesti-
lence. With wise precaution and reverent re-
lance upon Providental care we may thus hope
to escape its sad visitation. Free Press.

INSULTING AMERIcANs.-The papers are full
of complaints about the outrageous acts COM
mitted on the American flag and American citi-
zens at Acapulco. These outrages are frequent
and uncomfortable. They are disgraceful, humil-
iating, and confined to our own countrymen and
their property, for the British, French and other
European governments, take pains to intimidate
the authorities there into respect for the SUBJ
jects of European powers.
Why is 1t that our government cannot protect
its citizens abroad, like other nations! The prop
or department at Washington has been duly ap-
prised of all the facts, and time after time has
been impored to extend resistance to the Amer
leans in that quarter of the world But Mr..
Fillmore and his Cabinet are too intent upon
the next Presidency, to be able to spare time to
listen to the cries Of our countrymen imprison-
ed in Acapulco. They can find plenty of time
to dine with Kossuth to attend the grand lev
ees; to eat drink, dance and enjoy themselves
gloriously at the public expense but they can
find no leisure to snatch our helpless country
men from the grasp of foreign oppressors, and
teach these Acapulcan towards that the " stars
and stripes" may not be insulted with impunity.
All! we sadly need an administration that
more stongly sympathises with the people. We
sadly want one that has the nerve to act as well
the heart to feel, in all these cases of popular
injustice. We trust that we shall have no such
complaint to make after the next Presidential
election. my Star.

NEWS FROM THE EAsT-Our private advices
from New York, are to the 2lst inst In refer
ence to the coming National Convention, ac-
counts represent the contest as extremely lively
between the friends of the several candidates.
Those who oppose Gen. Cass, are active and ex-
press confidence in nominating some other per-
son; and again, the friends of the General, the
true friends of the country-the friends of JUS
tice, are equally confident of his nomination.
All we have to add is, that New York-the very
focus of the opposition to Gen. Cass; the very
scene of the disafection in lS48; the place
where the very army of Democracy was trans
ferred over to the enemy by traitor hands in
that year, is not the fount from which we would
gather public sentiment or an honest expression
of the true-hearted Democracy of the Union-
New York is an old battle field; but we have
no idea of accepting now as our general, the
head of her traitor band of politicians, whose
thirty pieces Of silver have scarcely been squan-
dered since he betrayed the trust reposed in his
hands. New York contains in her people, an
honest sentiment; in her politicians, the distill
ed treason of selfshness-a selfshness totally
depraved, and having in it no germ of regenera-
ton. Let our delegates to Baltimore be stead
fast as they would "execute justice and main-
tain truth; J" and when they shall have secured
the nomination of Gen. Cass, we will pronounce
them faithful servants. Free Press.

MExIco.--A conspiracy against the Govern
ment was discovered about the Gath ut by two
of the conspirators revealing the plot. Dr. Be-
tancourt and several others implicated were ar
rested.
A newspaper published at Jalapa, announces
that the government has ordered the command
ing General in the State of Vera Cruz, to pro-
coed with his aids and body of troops to the
bar at the mouth of the river Coatzacoalcos, to
finish the Notifications already commenced there.
The cause assigned is, the fear of an invasion
of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec by body of
Americans, who under the name of "laborers,"
and to the number of FIVE hundred men, are to
leave New Orleans under the command and gui-
dance of the masters Of the Saravia and Alma
gres, which vessels were seized at the mouth of
the above river some few months ago.
A quarrel has arisen between the Legislature
of the State of Vera Cruz and the Mexican
Congress. The former insists upon greater
reduction Of the tariff of l845 then the 10 per
cent allowed by the National Senate. The
Senate will allow this reduction Of 10 per cent,
but refused to do away with any Of the duties.
The lower House of Congress, on the contrary,
is in favor Of aboishing some of the Duties
The question was not settled.
The bridge of the {" Plan del Rio" destroy
ed during the last war, is to be rebuilt at Gov
eminent expense.
On the Gath ult., the day the Telegraph was
to commence working between Vera Cruz and
Orizaba the wires were cut. Good omen for
the FUTURE The line will reach the city of
Mexico during the present month.
A rumor is afloat, to which great deal of
Importance seems to be attached in Mexico and
California. The purport of it as follows:
1t appears that u short time since, an expedi-
ton, composed almost entirely of American cit
izens left California for the purpose of settling
in Sonora, Mexico, and carrying on mining com.
mercial and other operations. The Mexican
Government however, instead of encouraging
them, had them closely watched, and even sent
bodies of armed men to keep an eye on their
movements.
The Americans, Disguised with their con.
temptible measure on the part of the Govern.
ment left, and report says, have associated
themselves with the Apache Indians for the pur.
pose of successfully resisting any aggressive
movements on the part of Mexican officials.
