Eater from FL Pasos

The San Antonio papers contains sCmc in
telliccnce of interest from Ell Paso. The Led.
ger says:
From the intelligence received by this arri-
val there is Just ground for fearing trouble
Lane in regard TO Meci.]a territory, has GOT up
considerable excitement and iIl-%feeiing, which
| will be very apt, owing to the unprotected con-
dition of the American side of the river, to lead
to serious difficulties. Gen. Trias, with seven
| hundred troops, and a dozen or more pieces Of
artillery, we're quartered at FL paso. A por-
ton of his troops are ruthless saya9es, armed
with there usual implements of warfarc--the
bow and arrow. Should these get to drink
inc, no power can control them, and the result
| will be depredations and outrages upon our
| settlements. The citizens of McGovlnsvlIIe
are in constant dread of incursions from the FL
paso side. About ore hundred Indians are
incorporated in the regular army at that place,
which increases the force to some seven hun.
dred. A general feeling Of insecurity perr"des
that section ofcountry. There have Leon some
massacres of Mexicals.
The following is tie
PROCLAMATION,
| Of the General in Chiefg the Irias Brigade
to las Su5ordinGtcS..
FELLOW SoLn1EEs--know that the Gov
ernor of New Mexico has declared that the
colony Ode Ia Meciilo," which is situated on
Mexican territory, belongs to the United States.
This act, which he intends to accomplish,
even by force, is an outrage upon the honor Of
the Republic, and which must not be tolerated
by Mexicans.
My desire is, by every pcaceab'e measure
compatible with honor, to avoid collision, but II
the Governor of New Mexico, regardless Of the
rights reserved to the people by the Constltu-
ton Of the United States, should persist, il is
your duty to resist, and sacrifice yourselves if
necessary in the defence ofyour country.
Fellow soldiers, ] am satisfied that prompt
ness of action and discipline, are the guarantees
of victory; therefore, show an immutable reso-
luton and you will conquer your enemies. 1t
is certain that we shall triumph.
Live free, or die, is the only a'terDative left
Us; and | an proud with the belief, that there
is not a single Mexican who does not perter a
glorious death to a life Of infamous slavery.
After victory, you may expect the benedic-
tons Of your tel ow-citizens and the thanks Of
your country.
But should you be conquered, you will every
| where meet with humiliation and ~affronts, and
lead a miserable life.
Many O your felIow-citizens are disposed to
revenge you, should you succumb, or partici-
pate in your victory.
The wants and miscries you may undergo in
consequence Of the event, should not arrest
your determination.
Fellow soldiers, depend that in your priva-
tons and dangers. you will always have by
your side your companion and friend,
ANGEL TRiAS.

Important--Spanish and Merican League
The following des patch appeared in the Plea
yune Of last Tuesday. We give it without
comment:
New YORK, June 2s.--A telegraphic des.
patch from Washington, reports that the Gov
eminent is in possession Of information which
establishes the epnclusion of a treaty between
Spain.and Mexico for the annexation Of the
latter country to the former.
The report further goes on to say that a trea-
ty to this effect was signed by Captain Gener-
al Canedo and Santa Anna, when the latter
was last in. Havana on his way to Mexico, and
that it has since been officially ratified by the
respective Governments of Spain and Mexico.
An expedition IS organizing also on the north
ern shore Of Cuba, to carry 5000 Spanish
troops TO Vera Cruz TO support Santa Anna in
a coup d'6tat which he designs making, in imi-
tation Of Louis Napoleon.
The despatch says, it is understood that on
the departure of this expedition, the Cubans
will seize the opportunity to rise in a general
insurreetion, which it is believed would be sue
cessful.

CASE or THE INsuRREcTIoN1sTs-E.ramina
ton of Dyson and the Stare Man Alberl--James
Dyson and the negro man Albert, slave of Dr..
Rushton, charged with melting the slave popu-
lation to instruction, took place yesterday be-
fore Recorder Winter.
The State was represented by the Attornv
General Morse. and by A. p. Field, Esq. John
R. Grymes, Esq appeared for the slave Albert,
and Dyson defended himself in person.
The testimony of the negro man, Wright,
was substantially the same as that heretofore
published, going to show that Dyson had tam
pered with the witness, inducing him to believe
that a formidable organization was on foot for
carrying out a general instruction of the slave
population.
McGill, the fisherman, testified substantially
as detailed in his preliminary affidavit, also be-
fore published, showing that Dyson had provi-
ded arms and ammunition to a limited extent
in order to carry out his purposes.
Several other witnesses were examined whose
testimony tended to show that Dyson and the
slave Albert were. implicated in the dark plot
charged. to a limited extent.
Taking the testimony altogether, it goes to
show that Dyson meditated the insane attempt
ofwhich he is accused, though the limited means
provided established further that his hopes of
success originated more from a heated imaoi-
nation than from calculation based on the
knowledge of adequate means at hand.
The testimony satisfied the Recorder of the
guilt of the parties, and he committed them for
trial before the First District Court.
]. is probable that if the same testimony be
elected before a jury the accused will have to
swing for it.--Csescent.

UThe literary ladies of Paris have decided,
it appears, to give a magnificent reception TO
the authoress of Unce Toms Cabin. A de-
putation of the Partisan literary women will 90

During her stay in Paris all these ladies' will
be on duty, four at a time, with the illustrious
stranger, to keep her company, talk for her
write at her dictation, thoroughly inform her of
the meurs and usages of Paris, and be her cice.
rome in her promenades and visits. Two ban
quets will be offered her; one on her arrival,
the other on her departure. There will be
none but ladies at the table. The service will
be performed by male domestics, white of
course. A ball will be given in her honor, to
which men will be invited and lastly she is TO
be requested to accept all sorts of valuable
presents, including three complete toilets made
in the fastest Partisan style.

Another Wonderful Mreniion.--We are in
debted to the Scientific American for the fol-
lowing description Of another wonderful inven-
ton; called "Masche's Stereoscope," to sue
coed the Daguerreotype apparatus:
"In a short period, no person, we believe, will
have a likeness taken by a daguerreotypist but
stereoscopca'ly. As these cases are larger
than the old kind, who would have a fiat picture
to look at, when the solid, life-like likeness can
thus be procured? No one can have the least
idea Of the beauty Of this invention, until he
sees such pictures with his eyes. BY this im~
provement, husbands will when thousands of
miles separate, be enabled TO see their wives
standing before them in breathing beauty
wives their husbands, and lovers their sweets
hearts. Ii is a noble and eievating art, which
perpetuates to posterity the looks of those we
love or revere. This Improvement will enable
us to look upon the loved and respected when
far away, or when they are in the tomb: it will
enable US to see them as they once were with
US, and p~osterity will know how they and our
selves looked without trusting TO the fattery
or faults Of Il limncr's pencil"

Our aDrN Wood" A1tice.-An editor has,
during the week, SO mary articles On, such a
variety of topics to discuss, that he often bor-
rows ideas, and judgments, and calculations,
from others, without giving them any reflection
himself. This was the case with our "Drifl
Wood" article last week; and a subscriber
having drawn our attention to, it, by what we
thought very appropriate remarks, controvert-
ing the accuracy Of the calculation, we are now
under the impression that we were wrong in our
statement Of the number of cords of wood OBJ
tanned between this place and New Orleans by
means of the drift, by many hundred thousand.

The Crosse Tete misunderstanding
seems to portend a grand day of it on the 4th,
on Crosse Tete. We have seen a letter from
the Bayou, which states that preparations are
being made on a magnificent scale-one item
in the bill Of fare being thirteen hogs, and suff-
cent sheep, poultry and the like to stock a
small farm. All Iberville are invited. In Pla-
quemine, quite a liberal subscription has been
made in funds which will be appropriated to the
purchase of bread, ice, wine, syrups, Duffield
hams, &c. &C., and for music, and the charter
ing of a boat. The Minerva has been obtained,
and she will leave the bayou opposite the
Courthouse, precisely al 6 o'clock, A. NJ, on
the 4th--so, all those who intend going, had
better rise early, take a "hasty" cup of coffee,
and hurry on board, for the boat has orders to
be off eractlyat the hour, leave whom she may.
DR.. N. B. WARD has been selected as the
orator of the day on this occasion, and, although
such an attempt is rather out of his line, yet,
judging from his fine poetic conception and
brilIiancy as a scholar, we have no doubt his
effort will be highly meritorious.
As politics are mixed up with everything
these degenerate times, we sincerely hope that
upon this occasion at least, all efforts of the
kind, publicly or privately, will be discounte-
nanced in the most direct and palpable manner.

Valuable Testimony in Juror Of an Invaluable

Valuable Testimony in turor Of an Invaluable
Medicine.
We love to record the testimony of medical men
in favor of Dr.. MLane's medicine; ii is gratifying,
because the Vermifuge and Liver Pills of that dis
tinguished physician were not invented forspecu-
lation, but were introduced into his practice with
the design af e~hecting good, and they became cele-
brated through their great merit. They are not,
therefore, to be placed in the same category with
the patent nostrums of the day. which are SO extra
vagantly pulled in the advertising columns of the
newspapers. Drs. Newcomb and Duff, in COM
mon with others ofthe medical faculty, are simply
doing Justice TO these invaluable medicines in thus
speaking well Of them, and truly initiate the be-
n%evolence of the good Samaritan in endeavoring
to extend their use:-

Startling Rumor-,Fhe Washington cores
pendent of the Baltimore Sun, thus refers to a
rumor Of a startling character, that hasjust orr
ginated:
A rumor prevails that advices have been re-
ceived by the Government, from Havana, show
by Spain and England, in his hostility TO the
United States. Advices representing that some
intrigues of this sort are on foot may have been
received, but | cannot believe them to be well
founded. The rumors are probably of fllibus-
ter origin, and are intended to produce an ex.
element against Spain, and in favor of another
descent upon Cuba.
It is we'll known that the Fillibusters are now
stronger than ever-that they have money,
arms, and men at their disposal. It is proved
that they are watching this Government and
that this Government is watching them. They.
are watching only for the acquiescence Of the
present administration in their movements
But this Government will not wink at their
proceedings, while Spain preserves good faith
towards US. Therefore, it is now the Fillibus.
ter policy to produce the belief that Spain is in
hostile alliance with Mexico against the United
States. The moment this could be establish
ed, all the ends Of the Fillibusters would be
accomplished, for, from every part of the Uni
on, ornaments agsinst Cuba would be imme-
diately fitted out, and in such strength as to
be irresistible.
All the rumors as intrigues of Great Britain
in regard to Cuba are undoubtedly false. The
fishery question is to be settled very soon, and
nothing can occur to produce any difficulty be-
tween the United States and John Bull.

new publications:
History of English Literature by
VIM. SpALD1NG, A. NJ; New York, D. APPLE
TON g. Co., 200 Broadway.
This is a highly interesting volume, and can
not fail to be an important one to the literary
scholar. 1t is intended as an Elementary Text
Book, to those who are interested in the in
s%truction Of young persons. The work embra-
ces a period from 1909 to 1852, commencing
with the literature in the dark and middle ages
and ending with what is termed the literature
of the second age or the nineteenth century.
The author says:
81 have not shrunk from avaiIing myself
freely of the opportunities, furnished protuseIy
bv a theme so noble, for endeayoring to prompt
active thinking and TO awaken refined and ele-
waiting sentiments. | have frequently invited
the student to reflect, how closely the world
of letters is related, in all its regions, to that
world of reality and action in the midst OF
which it comes into being: how Literature is,
in its origin, an ~etiusion and perpetuation OF
human thoughts, and emotions, and wishes
how it is, in its processes, an art which obeys
a consistent and philosophical theory; how t is,
in it's effects, one of the highest and most pow
erful of those Influences, that have been appoin-
ted to rule and change the social and moral life
of man."
