The Hoosck Tunneling Machine, which was
20 walk straight through the granite hills of New
England, has proved failure. 1t cut into the
rock distance of twenty five linear feet, when
the machine was pretty we'll used up. Its pro-
gress was from twenty-four to eighteen inches
per hour and the core which it drilled, had to be
blasted out, which destroyed the work as fast
it was performed, it brought down roof and
all, to the amount of 800 tons of rocks and
earth.

negro men were yesterday arraigned before the
Mayor, for drinking, gambling and fighting in Il 9
city Saturday and Sunday. 1t is needless to saw

Among the many articles which are now man.
ufactured from India Rubber, perhaps there are
none of a more useful or novel character thnn
horse shoes. They have all the toughness of
iron without its brittleness, and their lightness
and elasticity, it is thought, will peculiarly
adapt them to the race course.

DTsoRDERLY PRoCEEDING.-A white man
named Alpehus Martin, was arrested by the
watchmen Saturday night, near the corner of
Grace and 18th streets, while engaged in the
pleasant pastime of stoning house. 1t seems
he had gotten into difficulty with the inmates
some short time previously, and had adopted
this method of taking satisfaction. The Mayor
held Mr.. Martin to bail in the sum of 5000.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writes that Mr. Robert G. Scott,
OF this city, is applicant for the mission to Rio
Janiero. The same correspondent says of Mr.
Hunter:
Mr.. h. M. T. Hunter is again in correspon-
dence with Gen. Pierce ON the subject of his 60
ing into the Cabinet. / believe that he is now
aware that he committed q faur pas-a most
egregious blunder-in refusing to bow to the ma
turely formed aud plainly expressed will of the
whole Democratic party, in the matter OF the
State Department. He is after the nomination
in 1856, and has got it into his head that he is
strong enough to disobige his friends in this con-
nection. In these days. however. half of any
mans immediate supporters for political advance
ment are selfish, care not to which party he
may belong. Their great solicitude for his pro-
motion arises for the must part, from the hope
that it may result in profit 10 themselves. To
find MIR. Hunter deliberately declining position
in which he might have in its power to pay them
tor former devotion to him, will at once have the
effect of creating in their minds the impression
that the game of building him up does not prove
likely to pay-that it is not worth the candle"
Mark what | write, in declaring that, if he fails
to be one of the Cabinet of Gen. Pierce, he is as
dead as a herring hereafter, so far as his Presi-
dental prospects are concerned
His own fire. eating friends are not more in
ceased against his declension, than are the i'm
mediate premonitories of the President elect,
who attribute to that act the whole of the trouble
and annoyance from which Gen. Pierce has SUI
Tered since commencing the work of making up
a Cabinet.

MExIco.-President Arista has undoubtedly
resigned. He left the palace at half past one
one O'Clock, on the morning his resignation
was to take effect, with an escort of some fifty
men belonging to the police squadron, and a
corps from one of the regiments. 1t was not
known what direction he took. Nearly all the
foreigners residing in the city Of Mexico had
armed themselves to defend their property. At
last accounts the city was momentarily expected
to pronounce in favor of Gen. Santa Anna, who
is now believed to be on his way to the scenes of
his former exploits.
Dates from Tampico to the 10th January, re-
ceived in New Orleans, state that great excite
ment existed there in consequence of the rumor
that 1000 Texans were marching on Tamaupas
Col. Rodrigues and 90 men belonging to the
National Guard, had been shot, and Gen. Keys,
Of San Luis Potosi, had been assassinated while
riding in his carriage.

up with snow in all directions; the rivers had
everywhere overleaped their barriers, rendering
navigation out of the question; hence communi-

mines was limited, and the cold intense, fearful

the waters recede to their accustomed channels.

"The remarkable and conspicuously dis
graceful circular letter addressed by Secretary
Guthrie to Collector BronsOn-which was pub
lished in our paper last Saturday, relative not
to any high principles of national policy, but
to the miserable scramble for offices among
drunken politcians-has created in political
circles, all over the city, q tremendous excite
ment. which is spreading through the State
We learn that Mr.. Bronson is preparing a let
ter in answer to Secretary Guthrie, and that it
will be one of the most scorching rebukes that
a hgh-minded and honorable man. actuated by
great principles of integrity, could give to a
miserable. low-minded pettfogging, spoils-sys-
TEN Secretary Of the Treasury"
The Herald continues:
"This war against our present corrupt Cabi-
net-which our well meaning, worthy, and eX-
ccllcnt President has unfortunately taken to
him at Washing tou-will not cease until these
ministers be driven to the four winds of heaven.
The atrocious principles impudeutly and OPEN
ly avowcd by them in their missives and circu-
lars-such as that to Collector Bronson-will
create a degree of Indignation throughout the
whole of this land, sufficient to consign them
and all their supporters toeverlastiug contume-
ly and oblivion in the political annals Of the
country. The war which has begun among the
virtuous portion of the peuple-and the indie
pendent people, too-against the spoils-system
Cal net and the corrupt administration, and
application of the Offices, will be successful, and
will leave a memorable example in its ISSUE to
all future patriots, Presidents and politicians
The Herald says that Brunson will not re-
sign, and we conclude it will not be a profita-
bic operation to turn him out. 1t is new thing
for the Hunkers in New York to be denied the
name of Democrats, and its immunities, and
! they will not be extcrminated, like the Turkish
Janissaries, without struggle of the most des-
pcrate character.
1t Is evident also from the following dispatch
that this interference of the Cabinet is not re-
garded very favorably by the Democracy, else
the action of the President would not need the
defence which it seems the Union is making:
WASHINGTON. October l3
The Union of this morning contains severe
article dcnouncing those who pretend to be
friends of the President but enemies of the Ca
hinet. 1t says the President has no feeling for
them but sovereign contempt. The Union also
contains defence of Secretary Guthrie's let
ter to Mr. Bronson.
