The STEAMBOAT CAMAScHE FIRED INTO.
The steamship Yacht, Capt. Thompson, ar
rived yesterday morning (says the N. o.
Picayune of the 6th) from the Brazos,
bringing $22,976 in specie freight. We
learn from her officers that just before the
Yacht left the Brazos, information had been
received by Capt. Kennedy, of the steamer
Grampus, then at Brazos, from reliable
source, that the steamer Camanche, during
her lasttripu up the Rio Grande from Browns
vile to Roma, had been fired into by party
of Mexicans on their side of the river, some
lime about the 25lh or Goth ult. The cir
cumstances, as near as could be ascertained,
are as follows:
The Camanche, Capt. King, left Browns
vile with her usual freight and about forty
passengers, among whom were Gen. Carva-
jail, Judge Arlington, Hon. Mr.. Grinstead
and several other State officers, together
with several ladies and number of mer-
chants. After leaving Brownsville, those
on board observed that a party OF Mexicans,
supposed to be soldiers, were following the
boat along the banks; therefore Capt. King
avoided the Mexican side as much as pos
sible, and only went on that side when it
was absolutely necessary. Nothing occur
red until the day in question, when party
of women came down to the river, and hail
ed them, saying that some soldiers were
waiting above to take the boat. AT or near
the place stated by them, the steamer was
fired into by party concealed in the chapa-
raj; and out of five shots fired, three took
effect upon the cabin of the boat, not injur-
ing any one however, which was very sim
gular, as all Of the passengers were out on
deck and among them the ladies'. 1t is
supposed that the shots were intended for
Carvajal, it being known that he was on
board, going up. The above occurred near
the rancho of Las Cuevas, some forty or fifty
miles below Rio Grande City. Those OF
board have drawn up the necessary docu,
ments, which will come by the next mail
~ We every day hear complaints about
watsry potatoes. Put into the pot piece

The capital paid in, or secured by stocks, is
to be 100000, and may be increased if de-
srable. Most of the deposit on which the
issues will be predicated, will be in the stock

THE YATcH AMERICA A letter dated
Malta, February 6, says: "The America,
the wonder of the day among ystehts, ar
rived on the I'd inst. She came in beauti-
full style, after laying-to for four hours in
heavy gale from N. N. f. Her owner,
Lord de Blanquiere, is loud ID her praises
as vessel Of remarkable speed and buoy
ancy. She will lie within four points of the
wind and do her fifteen knots an hour with
ease. Since leaving England. she has had
fair share of heavy weather, and had there
been any truth in the prognostics of her de-
tractors, that her masts would be carried
away in bad weather, and other similar fol-
lies, there was every possibly opportunity
for their being realized. But the pretty
craft nobly did her duty, doing her fourteen
knots for whole night, when running with
but her jib set, and setting all bad weather
at defiance. During her stop she has been
visited by numbers ofpersons. The Amer
lea will proceed tomorrow to Alexandria"

by the Jackson resolutions, on the side OF
South Carolina, the wings of this State APP
plauded Col. Benton, when he declared that
was not the sentiment of the people Of Mis-
souri,; when he opposed the compromise
measures of the late Congress, the wings
denounced him as opposing the best inter-
ests of his country. And this, we are told
is fomenting discord in the Democratic par
ty! The wings as body in the late crisis,
were ever on the side Of their country,
whoever might aid or oppose; while each of
the factions by the common judgment of the
people of this nation, have been arrayed in
opposition thereto. This is our ''old voca-
ton" which we have never left and never
will lcave-either in office or out of it, with
the prospect of success or defeat before us,
we are for our country and nothing but our
country. We cannot be bribed by the hope
Of place to pass resolutions favoring nullif-
ers, to uphold man that opposes peaceful
adjustment of existing differences, or TO aid
in patching up hollow truce between fac
tions which have denounced and stigmatized
each other as traitors.
But what will the Wings do now9 What
they have done heretofore, the same will
they do now. We have held up TO scorr
your subserviency to Col. Benton until some
of you, maddened by the yoke that we bore
have cast him off. and when you get new

wholesome truths. We will inform tn,

Later from Texas.

BY the arrival Of the steamship Meteor,
we have received Galveston papers to the
Cd inst:
We learn that the overflow of the rivers
of Texas has at length subsidized, after hav-
ing extended to the bottoms of most of the
rivers from their heads to near the Gulf
There was a report that the water from the
Brazos had reached to the plantations of
Gov. Runnels, Gen. COTE, Mess. S. M'Neel,
Bingham, Brown, Cecil and Terry, on Oys-
ter creek. The river, however, has fallen
within its banks above. 1t was then some
twenty feet below the overlooking point in
the vicinity of Washington, though there
are some fences missing in that region
As compensation, however, for the loss,
it appears that the fields which were
overlooked have been enriched by the deposit
Of about foot of new soil.
The Victoria Advocate states the Guada-
lupe river at Seguin had overhowed the
bottom lands upon its banks to the depth
Of ten or fifteen feet, and that the Saint
Marks, Plum Creek, Peach Creek, Cuerro
and Irish Creek were also out of their
banks. The bottoms generally above Vic
toria were covered with water, but the
amount of damage is not stated.
The Colorado was very high. The Aus
tin Gazette states that in that vicinity large
quantity Of fencing was washed away,
growing crops destroyed, and cattle, hogs
and horses drowned. The streams in Cald-
well county were higher than they have
been known for many years, and a similar
account is given Of the San Gabriel and
other streams in that direction, and in both
localities, the injury to farms and the de-
struction of stock have been very extensive
There are rumors of several persons having
been drowned, two or three in the Colorado
one in the San Gabriel, and one or two else
, where, but the names arc not given. Sew
eral grist mills in the neighborhood of Aus,
tin were washed away by the flood.
Isaac G. Polk, member of the last Tex.
an Legislature, died recently at San Angus,

We hear from the Huntsville Item that c

broke out in the vicinity of that place abou

There were eight corpses on his premises

in addition to the above, the Item says, ''hi
fences have all been blown away, and hi
fields, where the corn and cotton should b,

The disease first appeared among gan.
of negroes recently arrived in the neigh
borhood, from Georgia, several of whom
died. The Item, of the goth, says the dis
ease had then disappeared, and the health o
Huntsville was good.

The Presidency.

Gen. Cass and Mr.. Buchanan, seem to be
the two most prominent candidates in the
Democratic party at present. Although his
little greatness of Illinois has made every
eNertion to place himself favorably before
his party, the solid standing of the above
named gentleman must throw him in the
back ground. But Mr.. Cass' former defeat
and Mr.. Buchsnan's ancient advocacy Of
Federalism must make against them
Among the Wings the case seems to be mar
rowed TO Gen. Scott or Mr.. Fillmore; Mr..
Webster, standing in the same position as the
latter gentleman, will be forced to yield to
his popularity, and if it comes to this there
is little doubt of Mr.. Fillmore's nomination,
unless for the sake of greater unanimity, a
name less prominent may be presented by
the convention. This much is certain, that
no man can be elected Chief Magistrate UNI
less he distinctly svows his adherence to the
Compromise.

A CHINESE ARTIST ON FEMALE BEAU
rY.--Lum-qua is called by Europeans the
Sir Thomas Lawrence OF China; and he
well deserves this proud distinction, as the
cooring of this artists oil paintings is en-
ceedingly fine, although his ideas Of female
beauty differ materially from our own. In
the course of conversation we asked his
opinion Of an English belle then at Canton,
and his reply was completely characteristic
of Chinaman's idea of female beauty
Her face is too round, she has color in her
cheeks, her eyes are too blue, too large;
she's too tall, too plump, vi yaw; her face
talks, (meaning her countenance was ex-
pressive, } and she has feet so large that she
can ,calk upon them. In Lum-qua's atalier,
