FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

Private letters from New Orleans give from re-
spectacle the annexed particulars of several
unpleasant occurrences which have lately taken
place on the Rio Bravo:
Early in this month the United States steamer Co
manche was going up the river Bravo, and nearing
point known by the Of Paso de Dona Cecilia she
stopped close to the Mexican shore Five persons landed
from her and killed cow which they about carry
on board when the forward and demanded
be paid the value of his This demand they refused
to comply WITH and answered with insults and threats
The owner Of the threatened them in return, and
went off The steamer continued her voyage and shortly
afterwards the pilot observed party of approaching
the bank Of the river, and he fired upon them from the
steamer The party shore then withdrew, and ascend
ing the river they hid themselves behind pile of wood
waiting for the approach of the steamer upon which they
fired with muskets she The result
that two passengers wounded of them being
the deputy collector of the cusomhouse Of Rio Grande
and the other his son.

MARCO 1t appears that soldiers belonging to the
United States army went the river and in conse
quence Of having drank to excess they began commit
outrages upon all they met WITH until they came up with
sentry belonging to the Mexican army. On coming up
with this Of the Americans drew his pistol and
fired at and wounded him. Provoked by this wanton act

SAN JUAN, OR GREYTOwN.


The steamer Prometheus arrived at New York on
Monday last from San Juan del Norte, and we find
IN the Journal of Commerce an account, derived
from passengers of festival there on the 4th in
slant, in celebration Of the reported independence
OF the city Of San JUAN (the port at the mouth of
the river of that name and the possession of which,
whether by Nicaragua or Mosquito, has been for a
long time in contest) The account of the festivi-
ties is introduced by the following statement:
son the I'd Of June the British steamerof Albion
arrived at the port of San Juan del Norte Greytown
with the British Commodore of the West India station
who notified the authorities that the Governments Of
Great Britain and the United States had agreed guar
anty the independence of San Juan Commodore Parker
OF the Saranac, whom the British Commodore expected
meet had not arrived but there doubt Of his
currence the part of his Government Commissioners
had proceeded to Costa RIGA and Nicaragua for the pur
pose Of definitely settling the boundaries Of the territory
Of San Juan"
If the British Commodore gave any such Motif
cation as that stated in the above paragraph, we
apprehend he did so under erroneous information
for, if we are correctly informed, the basis of con-
vention lately agreed upon here between our Secre
tary of State and the Minister of England and sent
out by Commissioners for the decision of the Gov
ernments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, did not en-
brace the independence of the important port Of
San Juan; on the contrary, we have understood
that basis proposed to concede the city of San Juan
to the exclusive possession Of Nicaragua, she pay
ing to the Mosquito Indians stipulated sum for
the REIMBURSEMENT of their title

CONVENTION OF STEAMBOAT MEN.

This Convention, recently held at St. Louis, after
providing for its assembling biennially hereafter,
Adjourned sine die on the 10Th instant Many
matters of interest to steamboat men, and calculated
to prevent the serious accidents and loss of life now
of SO frequent occurrence on the Western waters
under consideration and suitable action taken
on them. A system of signals for boats passing
each other at night was established A recon-
mendation to Congress adopted to incorpo-
rate in the bill now before it enactments making the
use Of both gauge cocks, water gauge, and of mer-
curia steam gauges obligatory, and also requiring
that every vessel propelled in whole or in part by
steam shall have placed each outside boiler fusble
alloy, compounded SO as to fuse at the limit of the
working pressure Of the engine alloy likewise being
placed on the fues of the middle boilers which shall
fuse at pressure ten pounds higher than that on
the outside boilers The Convention resolved to
memorabilia Congress to extend the provisions of
maritime law over licensed steamboats, navigating
the Western and Southwestern waters, and COM
mittee was appointed to present these views to
Congress.

OFFICIAL COPY OF THE WING PLATFORM.

Our Democratic neighbors of the Union" seem
to be distressed that they should have wasted am
muntion in crticising one of the resolutions forming
the WING PLATFORM, as just adopted by the Wing
National Convention. The resolution referred to is
the eighth of the series, relating to the Compromise
Measures. Having been enormously printed in the
newspapers the Union hastily seized the opportu-
nifty to give vent to its Indignation on account of
the supposed omission of the words compromise"
and " final, which words, it maintained, were es-
sential to imply an honest and faithful support of
the laws composing the compromise" 1t turns
out however, that the official copy Of the Platform
which will be found the first page of this weeks
National Inteligencer, is in this respect precisely
what the Union" contended that it ought to be !;
and now, instead of rejoicing to find that its pre-
vious complaint was utterly groundless, and that
both the great parties of the country have patriot
cally placed themselves in the national position
in support of the compromise, it grieved and
disappointed at the discovery, and even impeaches
the authentic record because it does not correspond
with what was hastily prepared for the newspapers,
under circumstances, as regards this important act
of the Wing Convention, highly unfavorable to ac-
curacy in the precise words of the proposition. The
report of the Platform which appeared in the Daily
National Intelligencer to which the Editor of the
Union" refers with such apparent confidence, we
can assure him was not verified by the original copy
or by the journal, as he supposes. 1t was simply
the work of the Reporter, who, having before him
the platform previously submitted by the Southern
Wings, noted therein the alterations whilst Mr. ASH
NUN continued the reading, with his back turned to
the Reporters, amidst the noise consequent upon
peated cheering and other outbursts of applause
from the great multitude that filled the hall When
the eighth resolution was reached, the changes of
phraseology, without affecting the substance, were
such to confound the Reporters in their efforts to
correct the copy before them, although they might
easily, from the slowness of the reading, have taken
down the entire resolution in shorthand, if they
had anticipated the necessity of pursuing that
course. The consequence was, that with one ex-
cepton all the Reporters the left of the Presi-
dents chair entertained doubts to the correctness
of their copies of this resolution, and were supplied
with manifold copies of thy the gentleman who ex-
pressed himself satisfied that he had obtained an
exact copy. This accounts for the erroneous pub
LEGATION in all the newspapers, and we trust the
explanation will be satisfactory to contemporary

WHAT OUR OPPONENTS sAY-We design at an
early day to give the opinions of of the lead
ing Wing journals upon the Baltimore nomination.
1t is well received in every direction, and beyond
our expectation will unite the Wing party We
will honor political opponent, however, by giving
its views of Gen. ScoTT and the prospects of his
election precedence in point of time over the
opinions of our Wing co-laborers. We give the
Evening Posts estimate of the nominee
'tThe Of Gen. ScoTT is familiar to the country
not politician a statesman, perhaps, but mill
tary leader There is but man living who enjoys
envabe military fame if such fame is to be en-
wed; and there is American soldier perhaps,
Washington who has durable place in the history

earned imperishable honors Northeastern frontier
Through the meridian of his life he steadily adding
to their number and within the last decade has crowned
his military fame with series Of the memorable VIC
tories recorded in history.
Achievements like these the result of accident
the fruits of commonplace minds neither they
regarded as such by the American people. There is
true American who is not proud Of them no who
would not necessary become the personal champion
their authors greatness wherever and whenever such
championship should be needed"
These views are eminently truthful and just.
Here is no undue laudation of military eminence,
but only candid admission that such eminence ex-
lists in the case of Can. SCoTT-N y Com. AdU.

THE WING pLATFoRA.

We publish the Platform of the National Wing
Convention as authenticated by the signatures of the
President Vice Presidents, and Secretaries of that
body. The copy originally sent off by telegraph
and published in the newspapers throughout the
country contained some verbal inaccuracies which
are corrected in the official text It will be seen
that the words compromise" and /" finality," over
the supposed omission of which the Washington
Union raised such ridiculous camor, acere not
omitted after all We do not regard the discrepan-
cies between the two versions as at all material In
either shape the compromise resolution is strong
enough for us. But the Union and Enquirer have
placed themselves in an awkward predicament
They denounced the Wing Convention for falling to
characterize the compromise as final settlement"
But it appears that the Democratic and not the
Wing Convention guilty of this fatal and start
ling omission, as the Union and Enquirer seemed
to regard it. The blow aimed by them at the Wings
has fallen upon Democratic heads and if they would
preserve their consistency they must admit that the
Wing party have laid down stronger Southern
platform than the Democracy Richmond Times.
