TEXAS ITEMS.

Great excitement has been created in the
towns on this side of the Rio Grande, opposite
FL Passo, by the discovery of some very valuable
silver mines on the eastern slope of the noun
tains, about sixty miles north east of Donna
Ana. The ore is found in immense quantities
directly 90 the surface of the ground, and seve
raj tons of it have already been gathered and
transported on mules to Magoffinsville to be
smelted.
Mr.. james w. Benedict, of Galveston, |has
manufactured some most beautiful boots and shoes
with leather made of alligator skins. These
skins are tanned and prepared so that they re-
sernble the finest calf-skin i ! pliablity and are
beautifully notified, like tortoise shell. He in
tends to send pair of boots to the Worlds Fair
in New York.
A gentleman who has lately visited the coun-
ties on the upper portion of the Trinity, states
that thousands of emigrants are now settling in
those counties, and the roads between the Trini-
ty and Brazos are literally lined with emgrants
wagons. The road between Dallas and Waco is
SO thoroughly beaten by the numerous emigrant,
wagons that it resembles one of the great turn
pixies in the Eastern States. Many of the emil
grants are from Missouri and Illinois, and they
intend to settle in the northern counties where
they can raise wheat and other grains similar to
these that are cultivated in the north west
ern States. The emigrants who commenced
the culture of wheat in those counties
few years ago, have raised as fine crops as
any that are raised in Missouri or Illinois, and
as the best wheat land an be purchased for fifty
farmers of this section will, in few years. be
able to furnish -four for all the cotton and sugar
growing counties in the State.

IMPORTANT IF TRuE.-A Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Times furnishes the follow
ing in relation to the rumored Spanish and Mcx-
can league. We give it among the current news
of the day, without placing any relia nee on it.
1t is rumored that Government has been advised,
from quarters entitled TO the highest credit, of the
celebration of treaty between Spain and Mexico,
for the remuneration of the latter to the former
The treaty, 1t is stated, was solemnly signed by
Generals Canedo and Santa Anna, " lille the latter
was OF Havana,-Subject 10 ratification by the
Court of Madrid, and by the Mexican as soon as he
should be firmly seated in the dctatoria chair.
These Publications have been received; and
petition, it is said, is organized OH the northern
shore OF Cuba, destined 10 carry six thousand
Spanish troops 10 Vera Cruz where they are 10 sup
port the coup Retdt, which Santa Anna has reSOlY-
ed to attempt.
1t is likewise asserted that the departure OF The
expedition will be the signal for general insur-
rection on the Island. The Cubans are resolved
not let so capital chance slip, without attempt
ing their emancipation; and, if we may believe
reliable authorities, the movement will certainly
prove triumphant.
A gent eman who has the best opportunities of
acquainting himself with the secret drift of things
in Cuba, and who possesses the confidence of Gov
eminent, writes: al am told Judge Crawford, the
newly appointed Consul at the Havana, does not
propose enter upon the duties of his office until
October. If this is SO, depend upon it, he will
never act as Consul. The fate of the Spanish
authority will have been sealed ere then"

Female Courage.

A German named Henry Coleman, an ugly look
ing customer, was aTragned in the police Court in
this city, en- Monday, on charge of attempting 10
rob Mrs. Eithina Barker and her two daughters,
Lucy Ann aud Angelina, on the highway between
Fitchburg and Westminster, on Saturday last
The circumstances ofthis bold outrage briefly
these:--The three Females were proceeding from
Fitchburg homeward toward Gardner in one horse
wagon, aud while riding through by part of the
town Of Westminster, theprIsoGer came out Of the
bushes by the road side AMI Seizing the horse by
tie bride, demanded their money. They told
him they had none, but he still persisted in his de-
mandS. and turned the horse TO the side of the
road, when one of the daughters, an intelligent
and courageous young lady OF about II years oil
age, jumped from the wagon and started off 10
raise assistance. The Iufian perceiyIng her de-
sign, caught her, and dragging hel into the bushes
threw her down and tore er clothes nearly of
her.
In this struggle, however, the young lady seized
him by the hair with both her hands, and held him
SO firmly that he could do no further violence; but at
q favorable moment she relinquShed her 6 asp and
fed, and after running Sho;t distance she met q
man of whom she asked assistance, but to his
shame be it said he afraid 10 go with her, and
started off TO get more help, while the prisoner
thus for the time made his escape, though he would
have been arrested on the spot, had this chicken
hearted representative ofthe genus homo possessed
1.-THE the courage exhibited by the young lady.
After the robber left the horse to catch and detain
the daughter, the mother drove on to seek assis-
lance, which was finally obtained, but the william,
as before stated, had escaped. He ives subse-
quently traced TO this city, where he was finally
overhauled by officer Warren on Sunday. His ex-
am nation resulted in his commlttal for trial at
the September Common Pleas for the attempted
highway robbery ard for the assault upon the
young laLy.-lVorcester (Mass.) Times.

GRrrcE.-A letter from Athens, dated May 9th,

says:
The case of the Rev. Mr.. King, the Missionary
from the United States, has taken new FORM
The ministry has decided to pay the demand made
on his behalf by the American Minister. Mr..
King had demanded the sum OF twelve or fifteen
thousa nd drachmas for the site of building used
for public purposes-not as has been stated il the
newspapers, 100000 drachmas; while the minis
try declined complying with the second demand of
Mr.. Marsh. This was that the sentence OF the
tive act of the Government. By this sentence, Mr..
King condemned TO fourteen days imprison-
ment. demand Of this kind could not properly
be made by one Government of another. A relief
from the difficulty was presented the fact, that
Mr.: Marsh had not been accredited at the Court Of
Athens, and consequently his interference was not
official, but oficous. The two United States
frgates that have been expected here for some
time have not yet arrived.
