PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
ut the lO,o price OF ONE DOLLAR per annun,,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH R. PEASANTS, Principal Editor
1t Is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice they are Southern men. Their
defence or Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremltting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. 10 doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowit to be impossible.
nFThe low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al

Battle with the Nlcxicans

By arrival from Brazos st Jago we have received
files of Brownsville papers to the 25th ut The only
Intelligence OF interest they contain relates severe
hight between portion of the revolutionary party under
Coils. Wheat and johnson, and large body of Next
cans. The engagement took place near Camargo. The
Insurgents numbered 240 and the Mexcans about 700;
but at an early stage OF the action large number of the
former seized with panic and fled skulked so
that the contest was maintained by little than fifty
men. The Mexicans were badly whipped and routed.

1--WE have to deplore the loss of of men killed
and twenty three wounded, including myself We had

acting as vldetes and was not in the action at ALL The
Carso spies were III the commencement of the fight,
but speedily ran away skulked. About seventy of
the I'd battalion and four of the first away entirely
in the action; thirty-two killed wounded and a
considerable number secreted in tha chappara
der the river bank. The number of men actually en-
gagged in the fight and by whom the victory gain
ed very little exceeded fifty. The number of the enc

and upon which fully rely, was about seven hundred
men, 300 of them being cavalry and ancers and the
remainder being infantry rhemen and artillery with
shots six to 1t Is believed that about
three hundred and fifty shots were fired on tbe
field by both sides. The battle lasted from in tbe f
ternoon till hafpast when the enemy broke and fled
after spiking two of his guns. He did not halt an in
slant i'll the city Of Camargo but rushed thronob the
town. and in such trepidaton that am assured that
some twenty five thirty of his cavalry Were drowned
in the San JUAN they plunged in to escape us The
enemy's loss in killed and wounded was considerably
over hundred and among the number were eight or
ten officers of rank in the army"
After the battle, when night came on Colonel John
says that another panic seized the patriots They
refused to advance upon the town OF Camargo and ran
away, leaving but twenty-five men. Under these cir.
cumstances no alternative was sit to the

whom we have frequently noticed in the Globe,
went to Paris some time ago to defend himself
against the charge of swindling-escroquerie
upon which he had been arraigned before tri-
bunal of the city, tried in his absence, and con-
demned par contunaace-for not appearing when
he could MOTTO two or three years imprison-
ment. From this sentence he appealed to higher
court, and the judgment of the court below was
reversed, and righteousiy we have no doubt
M. CADET is the Chief (Gerant he calls him

and being an enthusiast and a visionary, when
in France three years ago he persuaded some of
his countrymen to come to the United States to
become Icarians. They came, and on arri-
wing at New Orleans, they could not find
either M. CADET or his republic, SO they
returned to France in very bad humor,
and upon their complaint the prosecution
was in stituted. Their error was to embark in
such chimerical project under the auspices of
a visionary. Louis Napoleon wanting no lea

oner. Believing in multiplication and replen-
ishment as we'll as in communism, he married
whilst undergoing his sentence, and his wife
has had two children although she does not
side in the prison. He is permitted to visit her
from time to time on parole, and he never fails
to return punctually. He is rather an extraor
binary man, and his courage and determination
being equal to his talents and honesty, he is a
dangerous one among such n Volatile and indam-
mable people as the French. Those who most
know him, all believe that he is honest. He is
man-such men are very scarce nowadays,
we fancy-who were he to give his word that he
would appear at certain place and at given
hour to have his head cut off, would not fail TO
be there, though under no compulsion. 1t is

JENNY LIMBS GENEKosITY.-The following
fresh instance Of Jenny Lind's Christian gene
rOsity is taken from the Aftonbladst, Stock
holm (Sweden) paper:
In September, 1850, the brig Johanna, of
Stockholm, Capt. H. T. Janson, was attacked by
violent storm, ON its way from South Carroll
ma to Bremen, sprang leak, and sunk in the
open sea. Happily at this moment an Ameri-
can barque ship sailed past. Its commander
Immediately lay to, with great danger to him
self, and in spite of the violence of the waves,
and Mr.. Clark, the mate of the American ship,
stepped into the boat to assist in theirrescue
AT last all had left the sinking hull, Captain
Janson being the last TO quit it, and even the
luggage of the poor fellows was saved. The
boat was at the ships side, the crew of the Jo-
hanna was on board, and Mr.. Clark was alone
in the boat, assisting in handing up the last par
cell when billow swamped the little sloop,
and the bold mate vanished in the bottomless
deep. For him who had saved all the others
there was now no rescue. Capt. Janson thank
ed Providence for his own deliverance; but he
felt what price had been paid for it.
On reaching New York he learned that Mr.
Clark had left family without any means of
support, and was now bitterly sensible of his
own want of means. But he did what he could.
He wrote to Jenny Lind, telling the circum-
stances simply as they occurred. But before he
could receive an answer, an opportunity offered
OF his returning home, and he embraced it, ar
irving last spring. He now sent in description
of his rescue to the College of Commerce in
Stockholm, hoping they would grant some re-
ward OF distinction to the American crew, and
if possible support to the widow and children
Of the unfortunate Clark. But he did not sue
coed Last autumn he received command of
another vessel, arrived again at New Y ork and
his first business was to visit Mr.. Clark widow.
But judge of his delight when he learned that
she had in the meantime received the gift of 500
American dollars from the celebrated Swedish
singer.
