The WRECK OF THE WESTERN WORLD
The Vicksburg Wing, of the 18th December.
says:
We are informed by gentleman from above.
that portion OF the wreck of the ilI.fated
steamer Western World was landed in the
eddy near Duckport, La, about fourteen miles
above this city, by eleven white men and one
negro There were two dead female children
taken from the wreck, one supposed TO be
ABOUT twelve years of age, with auburn or vel.
low nair about eighteen or twenty inches long;
and the other about four or five years of age.
Io marks were found about them to distinguish
mem; Out they were evidently sisters, from the
n iacI 'nat 'ney were clinging to each other, and
rom the strong resemblance they bore to each
o,ne1; neif bodies were taken charge of by
W VT. Duroletl' VINO had them decently buried
many trunks, boxes, and other things, were
removed by the wreckers. One trunk had in
1t some six or seven hundred dollars. which
was divided by man named Christian. living
opposite Milliken's Bend, among the eleven
white men and the negro who landed the
wreck. The wreck was landed on the 18Th.
and on the next morning some twenty.six
or twenty seven men were on the wreck in the
rain.
The NEWS FROM MExIco.-We gave an
outline of the Mexican news in our telegraphic
report on Saturday. The following details
will be read with interest:
The Executive having conceded to Congress
the privilege OF deciding upon the several Te-
huantepec propositions recently submitted,
that body proceeded to vote upon the propo-
sitions before them, and upon the vote be-
ing counted, the contract was declared to
be awarded to Guanajuat g. Co., a compa-
ny which has generally been supposed to
have stood but poor chance of success
The decision, therefore, created no little ex-
element.
From Sonora we learn tn 1t some further en-.
gagemeDts had taken place between the Mexi.
can troops and Count Raoussett, the leader Of
the French expedition in that State, which
resulted in the defeat of the latter, and the sur
render OF the entire expedition to the Mexican
forces.
The Picayune has further accounts from
Mexico. The proposition of the Guanaiuat
Co. was adopted by the Chamber of Deputies
by six majority.
There has been another Ministerial crisis,
in which Senior Romez resigned his office
as Minister OF Foreign Affairs Up to the
latest dates, his successor had not been ap-
pointed.
1t was generally supposed that breaking up
OF the Ministry would cause another change
| upon the part Of the government in regard to
the Tehuantepec route.
