Revolution in Tobnsco-Ioco Battles F0ught-4OC

Merican Troops KiAed-70wns Captured, 5rc.
Capt. Cousins, of the brig Captain John, who ar
rived at New York on Monday, from Tabasco whence
he sailed the 2lst ult, reports that civil had
broken out in that place, in which large number OF
the citizens opposed the present government. Two
battles had been already fought in which four hundred
of the Mexican soldiers killed. The revolution
lists had captured two small towns.
The streets of the city of Tabasco were overflow ed
and the water from two to three feet deep the
floor of the custom house. Boats could easily pro-
coed up the principal streets.
The revolutionary excitement was very great, and
1t was supposed that as the water receded,
there would be a general outbreak in the place.
A detachment of Mexican troops was shortly ex-
pec'ed there, and it was surmsed that they would
meet with much warmer reception than they anti
cpated.

SOuTH CAROLINA

The Legislature of South Carolina adjourned on
the 16th after passing the appropriation of $50
900 for the construction of the Blue Ridge Rail
Road.
1t seems that the desire for new Banks is quite
as strong in South Carolina as in this State. 4
Columbia Correspondent of the Mercury says:
In the House, tonight, the Planters and Mechan-
les Bank, the Commercial Bank, and the Union
Bank, rechar.ered and eight other banks ncor-
porated. The list is follows with their respective
capitals: The Peoples Bank of Charles ton, $1,000
600; the Exchange Bank of Columbia, $500, 900 !;
the Bank of Sumter, $1,000 the Bank of Ander-
son, $20O,OOO the Bank of Newberry, 5000, 900 ;
the Bank of Winnsboro' 100000; the Bank OF
Chester, 100000.

If it were at all likely that they would spring into
operation the effect upon the currency of the State
might be most serious But the restrictions put upon
them by the BILL together with other considerations,
will probably conne the existence of the majority of
them TO paper. The bill was wholesale concession,
Mr.. Hunt expressed il, to the harmless ambition
of little villages.
The passage of the bill is due to another fact,
namely, the pressure of business upon the House. 1t
stated in debate, and there be no doubt but
that less hasty Legislation, would have resulted in
a measure more worthy of the body from whence it
emanated and better fitted to abide the tests of expe-
rience. -

The CALoRIc SHIP ERIcssoN.-S Successful Irin
Trip to Baltimore. An experimental trial of the cal.
ORIG ship Ericsson, now lying at Williamsburg, N
Y, took place on Wednesday, fire having been ap-
piled to the furnaces for the first time, and result ted
in the triumphant success of the experiment, At the
start, the wheels made three turns per minute, and
shortly afterwards reached five per mnute, al
which speed she continued working for several hours
and would be kept in motion the whole of ednesday
night. This is much more than the most ardent oil
the friends of the invention had reason to expect
The Herald says:
AS the experiment was made at the dock, with the
vessel made fast, the opposition of the water was
naturally much greater than if she had been under
way. Five turns, when stationary, are said to be
equal 10 eleven or twelve when under way, produc-
ing from ten to eleven miles per hour, of speed
very rarely exceeded by first class steamships.
We informed by gentleman who was on
board that the machinery worked to admiration, the
smoothness and regularity of its movements being
unsurpassed by welI-tried engines. It is con-
templated to keep the wheels in motion for two or
three days. to satisfy, by occular demonstration, the
great curiosity in the minds OF the public regarding
the matter, although it not contemplated to set
her work at present, she is far from being
sdered in a complete state. We understand she
will be ready for her trial trip for three
weeks yet. it being determined to have her in per-
fecty complete state when she leaves the harbor,
when it is intended to take her to Baltimore and
probably to other cities, in order TO give
her thoroughly satisfactory trial before commencing
her voyage to Europe.

were entwined in mutual embrace. A
slumber, soft as the moonlight that fell
through the lattice over them, like sill
very veil, lay on their delicate lips-.he
soft, bright curls that clustered on their
pillow were slightly stirred by their gen.
tie and healthy breathings, and that
smile, which beamed from the pure
depths OF The fresh glad spirit, yet res

ed upon their exceeding beauty with a
momentary pride-and then as she con-
tinued TO gaze on the lovely slumbeiers,
her dark eyes deepened with an intense

shuddering came over her, lest those
buds of life, so fair, SO glowing, might be
touched with sudden decay, and gather
ed back in their brightness TO the DUST
And she lifted her voice in prayer, sol
EMMY, passionately. earnestly. that the
Giver of life would still spare to her
those blossoms of love over whom her
soul thus yearned. And as the low
breaihed accents rose on the still air, a
dee2ened thought came over her, and
her spirit went out with her loved and
pure ones into the strange wild paths of
life. and strong horror chilled her
frame as she behelt mildew and blight
settling on The fair and lovely of the
earth. and high and rich hearts scattered
with desola,ion and guilty passions
And the prayer she was breathing grew
yet more fervent, even to agony, that

would preserve these whom He had

hitting neither shame, nor crime, nor
