FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF THE PUBiIc ScHoozS,
A. H. LYMAN, of West Baton Rouge.

The failure in that indispensable requisite to
;ournal-the mails--is almost of daily occur
renee. 1t is so unusual that the Press through
out the city acknowledge thankfully whenever
the mails are received as late as due. There is
something rotten in Denmark" and we would
be under additional obligations to our worthy
Postmaster if he would inform us who is to
blame and where the delay occurs, that We
could thank the parties for the inconvenience
their gross negligence subjects us to- The mails
from this point, we believe, are regularly re
ceived in the Northern cities, and it is very
strange that those coming this way should
be continually several days later than due. We
say this much, that those who are unacquainted
with the matter may not unjustly attribute
blame to the Postofice Department in our city
The evil should be remeded at once, and every
contractor and party connected with these fire.
quent mishaps be held to q strict accountability.

News from Mexico.

The Vera Cruz papers officially announce a
meeting which took place at Gunajuato among
the troops on the 25th July, promoted by the
Captain of the first active battalion Of the State,
Don Jose NJ. Jordan, and the Lieutenant of the
same corps, Don Clemente Cabeza de Baca.
The object of it has not been distinctly ascer-
tanned. Tie General Commandant was for a
time placed in prison, and loud acclamatons
were raised against the Government.
This did not, however, prevent him from
taking immediate steps for its suppression, and
using the influence he possessed with the SOL
diery to induce them to return TO order, and
succeeded to such an extent as to leave the bel
lgerents denuded of much of the force they cal
culated on at the beginning. Finding them
selves disappointed the ringleaders fed, and
quiet was restored to the city at three o'clock
Of the same day.
Some soldiers were killed in scutiIe conse-
quent upon the CONSERVATION into which they
were thrown, from the deGertion of their chiefs.
The principals have not yet been apprehended,
but all the necessary steps have been taken by
the Government to effect their capture
an address subsequently to the people, informs
them that they have nothing to fear from the
unheard Of perfdy of the two subalterns who
seduced the troops from their duty, and states
also that the sergeants and some Of the soldiers
Of the rebel corps will meet with capital pun
shment. .
President Santa Anna has issued decree,

Of the Republic Of Guatemala, informing him
officially of his call to the Government Of Mex
leo, and assuring him that he will omit nothing
in his endeavors IS extend the friendly relations
mutually beneficial to the two Republics.
President Carrera, in reply, eoDgratulates
Santa Anna or the merited confidence reposed
in him by his fellow-countrymen, and expresses
himself also to the effect that he will always be
found disposed to contribute his partin preserv-
ing the union Of the two people convinced as he
is, that their interests and necessities call upon

spaces at the heads and heels Of the Titans, and
lay he mother hy herself, ont there alone A
comrade for her Will be found anon, and herself
and habes will sleep not the less soundly from
the unwonted contact
The fumes rise up in Ieathly exhalations from
the accommodating hecatombs Of fast coming

phor and odorous spices-for there are crowds

contemplate the vast congregation of the dead

have become SO used to the reek of corruption
| They even laugh at the rotings OF the skeleton
Death, and crack jokes in the horrid atmosphere
where scarcely they can draw breath for utter
ance.
| The stoical negroes too, who are hired at
five dollars per hour to assist in the work of in
terment, stagger under the sitting fumes, and
can only be kept at their work by deep and con-
tinued potations of the " fire water They
gulp deep draughts Of the stimulating fluid, and
reeling to their tasks hold their noses with one
hand while with the other they grasp the spade,
heave on the mould, and rush back to the bottle
to gulp again. 1t is a jolly time with these
ebon laborers, and with their white co-workers,
as thoughtless and as jolly, and full as much
intoxicated as themselves
And thus, what with the songs and obscene
jests of the grave diggers, the buzzing of the
flies, the sing song cries of the huxter- women
| vending their corrections, the hoarse oaths Of
the men who drive the dead carts, the merry
whistle of the boys; and the sitting reek from
scores of blackenea corpses, the day wears

EARLY CLOSING OF BANKING HOUSES 1t is
with much pleasure we notice the announcement
of six banking houses in the city to close the
business of the day at 8, p. NJ, during the
prevalence of the present epidemic. This is a
good example, and we hope to see it followed
more generally.
Business matters Of every nature are declared
to be almost at stand, and it is useless to keep
young men from their homes until late hour,
subject to that air which is proclaimed by the
faculty as being seriously detrimental to'health,
while the city is infected with malignant dis
ease.
The Clerks attached to these establishments
have cause to be grateful for the kind consider
alton Of their employers, which we hope they
will regard as favorable opportunity of pre-
serving their health, and laying up store OF
useful knowledge.
