MIL1rARY.-The Nueces Valley, journal
published at Corpus Christi, Texas, of the 18th
June, says:
"We understand that the order has been is
sued making this the depot for several IL not
all, the military posts west of the San Antonio
river, and above Fort Ringgold on the Rio
Grande. If this order is carried into effect,
which we presume it will be, it will do as much
or more to protect the frontier settlements than
all that has been done since AS for that object
1t would cause the roads through this cor ntry
to be constantly travelled; the trains of wagons
that would monthly pass to and fro would widen
the roads to such an extent that the Indians
would not venture to cross them. The In.
dams Of this country are more afraid of large
wel-beaten roads than they are Of ANYTHING
else, unless it be the actual presence of light.
mounted troops. This is, in our opinion, the
route over which, if for nor other reason thar
the one we have already named, the supple,
should be transported. We trust that the orde
will coon be carried into effect"
The San Antonio Ledger of June 10 re
marks
"Qute number Of officers of the Unite
States Army have arrived within the past weel
among whom We notice General Garland, Col
May, Major SibIey, Major Morrison, Lieuten

Another ukase has been issued having the

army, to the effect that those Israelitish commu-
mites which are still in arrears with their taxes,
shall supply one full-grown recruit for every 200
silver roubles.

Alabama,

The Dallas, AID, Gazette thus refers to the
Southern Rights Convention proposed to be
held in that State at an early day:
SOUTHERN RIGHTS Commemorative learn
from the Southern Sentinel, that the Southern
Rights men of Russell county have called a
meeting for consultation in reference to the
course the party should pursue under existing
circumstances. This s as it should be. Unity
Of action is what we want, and consultation in
county meetings is the proper way to bring it
about. We hope the Southern Rights men In
every county will follow the example of our
Russell friends, and that delegates will be ap-
pointed speedily as possible by the several
Southern Rights clubs in the State, to assemble
ut Montgomery 80 soon as the standing CON-
mittee shall name the day for the meeting of
the convention contemplated by the party.
We observe that the True South suggests the
Cd Monday in July as fit time for the mslDfng
Of the convention. If this would give us
chance for anything like full representation
from the clubs, we should not object to it; but
the time is 40 short that but few Of the clubs
could call their meetings and appoint delegates
before that day. We therefore suggest the I'd
Monday in August.
The first meeting for this purpose which has
fallen under our notice is the following:
SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETING IN RUssELL.-[n

the Southern Rights party of Russell county

E The frat case under the Ashburton
treaty has occasioned come excitement in New
York. The Commercial Advertiser thus briefly
states the facts:
The KANE ExrRADITIoN CAsE.--ln another
part of this paper will be found the opinion OF
the United States Commissioner in the case Oi
Thomas Kaine, an alleged fugitive from justice
in Ireland, who has been claimed by the agents
of the British government under the provisions
of the treaty of Washington. We have given
the opinion in full, because several new and
important points are involved, and the case Is
likely to become precedent. The commissioner
decides that the papers offered in proof are suf-
fciently authenticated and that the evidence is
sufficient to commit Upon this decision the
Secretary of State will probably sign the war
rant for the extradition of the prisoner, and he
will be taken back for trial in the place where
the offence is alleged to have been committed,
unless his counsel should succeed in obtaining
his discharge by habeas corpus proceeding.
1t lis said that large body of lrishmen assem-
bled in the vicinity of the commissioners Office,
Yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of intimi-
dating that functionary in the discharge Of his
duty, and that the United States marshals depu-
ties were afraid to bring the prisoner from the
Tombs to the City Hall, lest he should be res.
cued on the way. We apprehend that there is
some exaggeration in these statements. AT ANY
rate, after such warnings, the marshal will be
sadly lacking in the performance of his duty il
he spares any means al his command to prevent
lawless interference with the course Of justice.

The Boston Post thus refers TO a curious
manGuvre perpetrated by its city government:
Why THE Cry MARsHAL's OFFICE IS ABoL.
lsHED.-Merrimac, the Boston correspondent OF
the Newburyport Herald, thus states the where
fore of a recent movement, concerning which
there have been many inquiries
"After taking legal advice upon the subject,
and obtaining an opinion in regard to the con-
stitutionality of the liquor law, from a source
entitled to the highest consideration, our city
government have, with great unanimity, passed
an ordinance abotshing the office of city marshal
and deputy marshal, so that Boston will have no
municipal officers for the courts to issue precepts
to in liquor cases and will thus escape all pecu-
mary responsibilities for the liquor destroyed.
Our new 'chief of police, with his deputies and
assistants, will preserve the peace of the city,
enforce the special laws of the State in relation
to Boston, and all bylaws and ordinances OF
the city council"

Russian ARMY--It appears that the Polish
mobiles of the Lithuanian provinces are not at
all DESTROYS Of entering into the Russian service.
They have obstnatey refused to accede to the in
,i,a,ion of the government to become incorpora.
ted into the body of the Russian mobiles. This
stand on their part has called forth very severe
aksse from the Emperor Of Russia, who seems
determined to enlist all parties into his armies.
The following il an extract from the ukase -

Grcdnc, Minsk. Wollignia, Podolia, and Kiero,
might vie with the Russian mobiles Of every de.
nomination in testifyipg their loyalty by dis.
charging their duties as faithful suhjects in the
service Of cur victorious army, or in that Of the
cisll service. To our great grief these hopes
have never been realized independently indeed,
a a few isolated exceptions which are conse-
qucn,ly deserving of the greatest praise and ac-
acknowledgement,

who belong to wealthy families remain idle and
stand entirely aloof from service. These senti

Destructive INuNDATIoN TN GERMANY.-The
districts of Mulhauseu and Heligenstant have
been visited by great calamity. The bursting
of a water spout caused such a sudden rise in
the waters of the Unstrut and other streams,
that not only is the whole harvest of the pre-
sent year destroyed, but the fields are covered
with stones and sand to such an extent that it
will be impossible to bring them into cutiva-
ton for years to come. In quarter of an hour
the Unstrut rose l8 feet above its usual level.
The loss of life is not yet known; but it is
feared it is considerable. In Dingelstadt eleven
bodies have been found, and nineteen persons
are missing. In the districts of Eulhausen above
twenty persons are reported as having been
drowned, and between twenty and thirty more
are suspected to have shared the same fate.
The roads are every where destroyed, whole
herds of cattle and sheep have been lost, and
buildings have been so completely swept away
that scarcely stone of them remains. The full
extent of the loss of life and damage to proper
ty has not yet been acertnned. The provincial
government in Erfurt has despatched commits
sioners to the locality to make the necessary
Investigations. Appeals are already made to
the public for subscriptions in aid of the popu
lation of tho district-Foreign Papers.
