The fl,ibusiers formed q

about three hours. The fl.ibusters formed a
line, charged upon the enemy, and put them
to fight, killing and wounding not few: 1t
was in this skrmish that Commlssary Ser
geant. John E. Towns, was killed, and AdIu-
"a mt Samuel Rutland wounded. On the 3Oth
April. as Walkers party was making their
way to the Encenada road By La Gruia they
discovered the enemy in full force in ambus-
cade. They barely escaped being surprised,
and had but sufficient time to,entersLa Grui-
la Flat, where they fought the whole day at
times in the open field and then covered oy
the chaparell. Six or eight Of MelendezIs
men were Killed and many wounded. Wal
ker's party sustained no injury in this engage
ment, further than slight breast wound re-
ceived by William Anderson.
AS the filibusters neared the State line,
they were met by detachment of United
States troops. As they crossed again into
Uncle Sans dominions, they surrendered
themselves to Capt. H. S. Burton and Lieut..
J. McKinstry, under whose charge they were
brought to San Francisco as prisoners, for
violating the United States Neutrality Laws.

A DISTINGUISHED VIsIroR.-The famous
Madame Adolphe. whose name is doubtless
familiar to many of our readers. as awonder-
full sympathist, phrenologist, &C., is now in
Evansville. and may be visited by the curious
at the Sherwood House. We have known
her by name or fame great many years, and
have seen numerous notices highly compli-
mentary to her skill. She pronounces for
tune telling and ast-ology humbugs. but as.
sumes by combination Of newly discovered
sciences, to be able to tell the past and pre-
sent, and predict the future of any one who
may call to see her. Whatever her success
in this particular. we have upon the authority
of many editors. that she is a lady of educa-
ton and fine scientific requirements. Her
card will be found in to-day's paper.

There have been several arrivals and de-

Ex-President Fillmore was received at St.
Louis last Monday morning with great enthu-
siasm. The fine steamers Michigan and Col
den Era were lashed together when they bore
his party to the wharf. The Michigan had
gone up with two companies OF military on
board, to meet the Era. He was received at
the wharf by the deafening cheers of grea,
multitude, the firing of cannon and music
The decks of all the steamers in port were
black with spectators. The Mayor and City
Council welcomed him and escorted him TO
the Planters House, where the Mayor and
guest made speeches. The enthusiasm
which every where greets Mr.. Fillmore, who
has no offices to bestow, nor patronage OF
any kind to reward the devotion Of trie nds,
proves how deeply he is fixed in the hearts OF
the people. Tits gratifying to his party. that
oil parties now unite in rendering such
marked honor to their. late President. 1t is
the best comment on the success of his adj.
ministration, in pleasing the people.

rs The Louisville Democrat thinks that
the Northern Democrats are very generally
united in the support Of the Nebraska law,
and that there are no serious divisions among
them. Some of the recent elections, on the
contrary, indicate that n ebrasKaism some
thing else has nearly annihiIated the DEM
ocratic party. In several cities, where cleo
tons have just taken place, the Democratic
party seemed rs poweress as infancy. This
was especially the case in the Philadelphia
