Ex.PreSident AriSfa.

The New York Herald publishes letter from the
Mexican Ex- President Arista, now in England, in
which he Denies in the most explicit manner, the
authorship of the letter which has heretofore been
attributed to him, in which he made to speak
in favor of the annexation of Mexico to the United
States, in the following terms:
desire the happiness of my country, and to at
tain it | see no road but through federal institu-
tons, and if it be desired annexation TO the United
States, in which Mexico will meet an inexhaustible
fountain of riches and prosperity, Notwithstanding
she may lose that grand enigma, that squaring OF
the circle called by Santa Anna nationality. The
day will arrive when this will happen.
Gen. Arista says these sentiments are utterly at
variance with his own, and adds
The moment the surreptitious document came IN
der my notice here, publicly denounced it as apoc
ryphal and forged for the sole purpose of covering
with infamy my name in Mexico. To place this
fabrication in clear light it will be enough to com
pare it with the real which returned to the
Minister'S note. | have been told that the surrep
titious answer, supposed to contain my political
views has been favorably received in the United
States; but it is not to be credited for a moment
that distinguished and patriotic citizens of free
and independent country would ever respect Mex
lean whom they believed to be in his heart an an
nexionst, or, more properly, a traitor. With how
much more contempt would they look who
besides being Mexican, had been raised by the
free votes of his fellow citizens to the supreme MAJ
istracy of his country, should he shamelessly pro
claim the extinction of its nationality
The forged letter first appeared in the Havan;
" Diario," and was copied from there into the pa
pers Of this country.

nfaxzini and Kossuth.

The Tendon correspond dent of the Mobile Adyer-
tiser in his letter of the 22d ult writes as
Their Majesties of Austria and Italy are again IN
n state of alarm. Some days since Mazzini " as
missed, but it was understood he was simply gone
to Liverpool little said about IT, but one OF the
Austrian spies (there are score OF them here) as
certained he had left for the continent, and lee-
graphed accordingly. Thereon the greatest excite
ment was caused and at this moment their lmperi-
al majesties are in perfect furry of terror as TO
the consequences that may result from Mazzlnls
presence at such time Meanwhile, where the IL
lustrious exile is one knows neither has his place
of embarkation teen discovered Doubtless, tho,
we shall soon hear of him and his works. as he is
not man to remain idle for any length of time to-
gether.
Kossuth's movements too, subject OF mys-
terry the last heard of him was, when he replied to
committee of invitation from Sheffield declining
to visit that town just them the ground that In
the existing juncture Of foreign affairs he did not
think it prudent to leave London. His reply was
published in the prints and elected much comment,
out of the very fact of his speaking so plainly ndu
ced people to suppose he had nothing OF point In
view at the moment. Suddenly, however, it was
discovered that he too, like Mazzini, was nowhere
The Austrian emisares, assisted by some OF the old
members of the detective force have sought in vain
| for weeks past for trace of their dreaded enemy,
| but so far have found none. The most intimate
friends of both parties declare they know nothing OF
their movements. One fact has though, leaked out,
that looks little suspicious. 1t appears we'll

he has been in connection presented an order for

100000 of Hamburg bills were bought on Change
by we'll known house, but one that had never be.
fore made similar transaction. Such is the tale
that much of it is the truth there is little doubt, and
that the funds so obtained will be used by Mazzini
is also far from unlikely. Should the Turkish ques
ton result in an appeal arms, there will be live
Iy time of it, and you may rest assured that Kossuth
and Mazzni will leave their mark behind them on
the page of the worlds history.

This Week.

Our paper this week contains less than It's uSuai
amount of Editorial matter-no great loss' perhaps
and more than made up by the more mscellane-
GUS and literary c., aracter of its columns The ar
rarramert of the mails combined with the gradual
increase Of our list forces to go to press at too
earlv an hour to admit of publishing any of the
returns, as the polls will not close for some hours
vet. The voting here progresses briskly, although
without much excitement, and so far as we can
Judge the preponderance for Ashe will be overwhel
ming-quite great we think, as his most sangulne
friends could have anticipated
There is now or will be after the returns are re-
ceived sort of lu in the political world, which
will give us more time and leisure for other matters
than we have been able to devote to them lately
for we must confess to a strong tendency, on our
mart to devote what little energies we possess to
the support Of the we espouse. we seldom
or ever give halfway support to prlncPle IN
which we believe, or man whom we regard as lis
faithful exponent. By our next issue we hope tc
Law before our readers sufficient returns to enable
them to Judge of the result throughout the State al
we'll as in this District Our chief anxiety now il
with regard to Clingmans District where, we are
sorry to learn, verbally that Gathers chances have
materially improved within the last two or three
weeks, since We had an opportunity OF observing
them personally. Then there seemed no chance o
beating Clingman--no1D the indications are less'ta
yorable for him Even than this we feel anxiet,
about the Raleigh District whereit is possible and
we fear, even probable that Rogers, Wing. may b.
elected. owing to the unfortunate divisions IL

we think by the unfortunate course of Mr.. Venabe
We are anxious to hear from these two Districts, al
also from the Seventh, where Crage. Democrat, AM
Osborne. Wing, are running-both able speakers
and clever gentlemen The vote will be close enc
but Crage, we have no doubt, will be elected
There is no doubt of Mr.. Ashes election in thi
District by very decided majority.

The Fastest National Steamer.

The U. S. steam frigate Powhatan, built at Gosport
Va, her engines being from the Gosport Iron Works.
is said be the fastest and most serviceable steamer
in navy. correspondent of the New York Her.
aid :hus speaks in her praise
The Powhaan made the run from ST. Helena to the
Cape of Good Hope in nine days and quarter, against
strong sea and head wind being four days and a
half less than the Missisppi's time of making the
distance, from here to the Cape of Good Hope in
about ten days less time than the Mississippi Taking
in consideration the difference of model, power and
fuel consumed, the Powhatan may compare favoFably
with the Collins steamers, in the matter of speed
They have about the same immersed midship action
but the Collins ships of much better model, have
SO per cent more power and burn about 80 tons of
coal per day where the Powhatan burns only about
40 tous.
