al amount and variety Of new music and

the leading position among musical journ-

of the best new music, as well rs reading
matter. 1t is only one dollar per annum.

u 1t is somewhat singular that two

the two States. The Brothers Onderdonk
filled these high Offices at the same time
for series of years, and charges were
preferred against each for improper conduct
at about the same period. The Pennsyl-

is constant attendant upon the Grisi and
Mario concert or operas in New York. A
letter in the Post from that city says of hcr:
-"ohe has seat Immediately in front of
the stage, and gazes with long and lnger-
ing, looks at the object of her love. She
attracts good deal of curious attention at
the opera. Last evening, between the
acts, perfect crowd of ladies' and gentle
men surrounded her, She was elegantly
dressed in white satin, with pink trimmings,
and carried hugh boquet Poor thing
she appeared very much annoyed. She is
small, not so very homey, has beautiful
curls and short hair. She has magnif-
cent dress made for each opera, and while
she feasts her unrequitted love, she shows
off to the best advantage her person, with
the hope some day of gaining the object of
all her EARLY wishes"

BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.
The Southern Mail as late as due is re-
ceived.
The steamer Nautilus" had arrived at
New Orleans with Brownsville dates to the
10th ut.
The Revolutionists in Northern Mexico
were making considerable progress, having
obtained possession of several towns, in
cluding Monterey.
The Government troops were unable TO
check them. Linares, Monte Morelas, and
Cadayta, had also been taken.
The government troops that captured
Victori, it is said, burnt number of houses
and committed great excesscs.
The insurgents were very sanguine of
success, and had divided into parties, and
commenced system of guerilla warfare.
On the American side of the Rio Grando
the Indian depredators were quite numar-
Gus. Captain Lewellen Jones, with party
of ten rllemen, pursued and defeated par
ty of fifteen Indians, killing one, wounding
three, and taking seven horses and other
plunder Jones' loss amounted 10 one cor
poral killed, two privates wounded, and four
horses wounded.
The accounts of the damage by the
late storm at Galveston and Matagorda are
awful. A large number of lives were lost
on the coast, and also in cities by the blow
ing down of houses &c. The captains and
crews of the steamboat Kate Ward and
schooner Tom Paine perished.
At Matagorda four lives were lost by the
falling Of houses.
A letter in 4 New Orleans paper says
that the attempt of the revolu,onists TO take
Monterey, was unsuccessful, and denies the
correctness of the statements, BY the
Brownsville Flag" as to the success of the
revolutouiss in Northern Mexco,-ds-
tinctly declaring that the revolution is at an
end.
A rain storm prevailed in this city
throughout the night, but the weather is
clear this morning, and the attendance at
the cattle show is very large.

A MIRACLE OF ART.-There is on eX-
hibtion in Paris one of the most remarkable
pieces of mastcrwork which the uuion OF
art and science has ever produced. 1t
consists of n pcture of about three feet
square. This picture is made up Of colors
admirable for their beauty and boldness,
but there is no subject. The most expert
enocd eye can detect nothing but disJoint-
ed and half approximations towards
coherent design. The most able artist
sees there only the finest colors, but 10 on
can tell what they are intended to repre-
sent. In the middle of the pictures, which
is horisontaly placed, is mirror formed
by copper cylinder covered by perfectly
polished coating of silver. This mirror is
usally yelled. SO far there is little re-
markable, and the greatest amateurs in
painting wonld hardly consent to spend
five francs on such an apparently profitless
study. But it is impossible not TO feel
glowaof admiration when, OH uncovering
the mirror, there is presented upon it, in the
brightest reflected rays, the whole scene
of the Crucixion. The partial coloring then
takes character Of incontestible superiori-
ty, and presents to the astonishcd spectators
picture composed Of six most perfect fig
urcs, depicted with degree of boldnesss
such as the master painters alono knew
how to mpart to the subject which it was
their glory to represent.-B Boston Tran

HORRIBLE DEATH-Two BROTHERS
BURIED ALIva-Two brothers, named
Patchen, respectable citizens of Constantia,
Oswego county, met horrible death on
the 25th ult. They were digging a well,
and when they had reached a depth of 20
feet, the quicksand in which they were
working, caused the earth to fall in, bury
ing them at the bottom. Every exertion
was made to remove the earth, but eight,
hours elapsed before they were reached
the earth being eleven feet deep above them.
When found, they were standing in an
upright position, with their arms around
each other, cold and liclcss.

PRovIDSCE, Oct. 3.
Quite an excitement was created here to-
day in consequence Of a strange freak Of an
old man named LYMAN HAYES. The track
of the Providence and Worcester Railroad
runs through land which formerly belonged
to him, and the price of this land had been
assessed by commissioners at a valuation
which he refused to accept. To-day he
placed small house, erected by himself,
upon both tracks, in which he put several
kegs which he said contained powder, and
then fastened himself inside, by mailing up
every entrance to it,
The Boston and Providence train, and
the Providence and Worcester train were
as they came along, brought to a stand still
by the obstruction and detained for nearly
two hours. The old fellow swore that if
they attempted to rur the engine through
the house he would Ire the powder and
blow everything around him to atoms. AZ
tota long delay, during which the crowd
increased to over Il thousand people, the
North Providence and the Providence Po-
lice arrived, when they fell to work, and
with wcll-dirccted blows soon smashed the
doors of the house in, and then seized the
old man. 1t was with difficulty at first
that the crowd could be kept from injuring
him. He was hurried away to jail. The
crowd then attacked the house and soon
made Il complete wreck of it. About. half
kcg OF powder was found.
