MEXICAN THIEVES AND SoLprERs.-A
correspondent of the New Orleans Delta,
writing from Vera Cruz says: Being
disturbed by the clatter of many hoofs in
the plaza, ran to my balcony, and be-
held two long files of lancers, gaily ap-
pareled, and with scarlet pennons, come
prancing in, whilst between their lines.
and on loot, vas a string of some thirty
or forty poor miserable looking devils all
securely tied together. Having the curl
oslty to go out and make nearer inspec-
ton, ascertained that they were nothing
more than batch Of thieves, pick-pock-
cts, and robbers, sent down from the
interior. But poorer, more miserable,
worn, anddejected- looking set of wretchcs
were never seen. Hating for few min
utes In the shade Of the palace, whilst
the leader Of their escort CON municated
with the officer of the guard, they th: sw
themselves down in every attitude O..
excessive fatigue. A wretched woman,
who followed them, seized the opportsHi-
ty to run into neighboring Shop and
bring one OF them, who must have been
her husband or brother, cup of water.
The poor devil had scarcely slaked his
thirst, when they were all called to their
feet again, and marched eff to the preside,
the faithful female trudging patiently by
the side Of her husband-of course If Was
her husband, for sisters are rarely so
devoted, at least in this country with a
heavy bundle at her back. Touched by
her fidelity and her woes, clutched q
dollar In my pocket to give her: but
ashamed of the Ostentation, and fearful
that it night have been an offence, Ire
gret to say didn't.
You must know that they send most
of the mauyats subjects from the interior
down here, as cheap way of getting rid
of them-for fully one-half die of yellow
fever the first season, the vomito being.
If possible, more fatal to natives of the
elevated regions Of this country than it is
even to foreigners-an economical mode
ofexecuting them, certainly. Theyoung-

tans-and precious looking set of scoun-
drels they are, it must be admitted. not

the poor woman, who was only q yolun-

spite of this extraordinary mode of re-
cruiting, | must say that better disciplined
troops than those at present here are sell
dom seen in any c-untry. They are well
clothed, and, doubtless, well fed. The
majority of the rank and file are full blood
ed mines, ard it looks odd to see their
exaggerated and often innocent-looking
Aztec physiognomies starting at you from
under their smart and soldier-like French
caps. One of the finest looking men
have seen among them, is a 'pusson oh

spect to situation, the cities of Maple

both, the town, the buildings, the worl
OF mans hands, are subordinate to thu
grand and commanding features of ma.
ture around and above them. This is
never the case with city upon a plain.
In Edinburg the houses look, in compar
Ison with the mountain ridges near them
like handful Of toys upon a giants lap.
Naples is not only stretched along a
winding &C cast, but scattered over the ter.
races and spurs of range of semi-cirou.
lar hills; and is brought into immediate
proximity with commanding heights and
q grand expanse of water. Thus, when
it is seen from the sea-which is the
finest point Of view-the magnificent
lines and sweeps of the landscape fairly
eat up the city itself; and its white
buildings look like rows of China Guns
and saucers ranged along the shelves OF
crescent-shaped closet. But though il
is easy to tell what Naples suggests, it
is not easy to tell what it is.

pieces the parts and details of this match.

web of beauty into which palaces, villas,
forests, gardens, vineyards, the noun

pen can paint the soft curves, the gentle
undulations, the flowing outlines, the
craggy sleeps, and the farseen heights,
which, in their combination, are SO full
of grace, and at the same, expression !
Words here are imperfect instruments,
and must yield their place to the pencil
and the grayer. But no canvas can re-
produce the light and color which play
round this enchanting region. No skill
can catch the changing hues of the dis
tant mountains, the star-points of the
playing waves, the films of purple and
green which spread themselves over the
calm waters, the sunsets of gold and
orange, and the aerial wells of rose and
amethyst which drops upon the hills from
the skies of morning and evening. The
author of the book of Ecclesiasticus seems
to have described Naples, when he speaks
of " the pride of the height, the clear
frmanent, the beauty of heaven, with his
glorious shew." "See Naples and then
die, is well known Italian saying: but
it should read, See Naples and then
live" One glance at such scene stamps
upon the memory an image which, forey-
er after, gives to life new value.-Hl-

AN EXTINCT AMERICAN RACE.-Tbe
following passage from the travels of
Humboldt, possesses more than ordinary
interest at the present time:
Amidst the plains of North Amer.
ica, some powerful nation, which has dis.
appeared, constructed circular, SQUARE.
and octagened fortifcations; walls 8. 900
toises in length; tumuli from 700 to 500
feet IN height, sometimes with several
stories, and containing thousands of
skeletons. These skeletons are the re.
mains of men less slender and more
squat than the present inhabitants of
those countries. On q vast space of
ground at the Lower Orinoco; as well as
the banks OF the Casiquiare, and between
the sources of the Essequibo and the Rio
Braaco, there are rocks of granite COW
cred with symbolic figures. These scuIn-
lures denote that the extinct generations
belonged to nations different from those
which now inhabit the same region.n
Since Humboldt's travels ON tb;s NM
tinent, the evidences Of such race as he
sxpposes have greatly multiplied. An
over the valley of the Mississippi. and
throughout the plains of Mexico, monu-
ments of domestic and ware character
abound, which are entirely foreign to the
habits and genius Of existing tribes. They
speak of q higher civilization, of more
effeminacy and less. And it NAV he.
that these fortifications were the vain de.
fences erected against those whom we
call " Aborigines, but who, like us, were
invaders of the soil, and " ere the favor.
ties, before they became the victims. of
manifest destiny" They PLAYED their
part in the unknown drama of America,
and perhaps We may follow their exam
pie; more noisily and censpiculously, to
be sure, but no less fatally. The end il
not yet.

eye witness relates the following to be the

result:
The person who won the bet, gained it
by the following feat he placed his COM
panion at arms length from him. and
undertook TO strike two hundred times
with his knout, yet, though he should not
touch nor injure his person, at each blow
he promised to bring away a narrow strip
Of his friends shirt, which he actually
performed without infiicting even the
merest scratch on his body.
BY way Of expressing his gratitude
for the patience his companion has eliei-
ted when he had finished the specified
number of blows, he lifted up his weapon,
and in q playful manner appeared to give
a'slight FLIP towards the man on whom
his skill had been exhited; he hardly
seemed to touch the body, but on inspeo.
ton wound at least a foot and half
in length was perceived, bearing an ex-
act resemblance to one which might have
been given by a razor, or any other sharp
instrument. The one who had received
the blow, seemed to take it in good part,
and as joke; coolly remarking, that he
should not be long in embracing an op-
portunity of returning an equivalent to
the favor received. The two men pos
itively asserted, that they could, without
any remarkable effort on their parts, kill
the strongest man, with only three blows
OF this simple, though dreaded instru-
ment-fhe knom.
