ABDICATION OF SANTA ANNA.

We stated in our last that Gen. Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna had abdicated the government of
Mexico, and was on his way to the island of Cuba
1t appears that he left the city of Mexico on the 9th
instant with escort of 500 men, and signed his
abdcation at Perote. He embarked on the 17th in
stsnt at Vera Cruz for Havana. Two days after he
left Mexico seven eight hundred of his escort re-
volted, killing one or two of their officers They
then Joined the insurgents. Before cmbarking at
Vera Cruz, fight occurred between two revolted
battaions and regiment that continued faithful to
Santa Anna. The former beaten and left for
the mountains. Fifteen or twenty were killed be-
fore order restored.
Gen. CAIRO is provisional President, and Gen. La
Vega-who it will be remembered, was taken pris-
oner by Col. Mays commander-in.chief of the
army. Gen. Alvarez, the conqueror, was on his
way from the South towards the City of Mexico.
The movement in the north of Mexico it is stated,
looks to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the country and the
annexation of some Of the northern States to the

DEATH OF MAYOR WOODS.

Hunter Woods, Esq, Mayor of Norfolk, died on
Saturday morning last after brif illness of yellow
fever. The Petersburg Democrat says:
"Twice called by the kind partiality of his fel-
low citizens to the highest municipal office within
their gift he carried into public life all those quail.
ties which adorned his private character, and the
energy, and fidelity with wnich he discharged the
duties of his position shamed the tongue Of malice
into silence and left to friendship regret but that
words should be so poor a vehicle of praise. Since
the moment that the pesten first visited the CITY
of Norfolk he has walked the unceasing round of
his responsible and dangerous duty with a courage
and zeal which knew neither fear nor fatigue No
remonstrance could move him from the task to which
he had devoted himself. He offered his life willing
sacrifice if Providence should see fit to call him.
Wherever the pestence ragged most fiercely, and
men shrank most in terror from its approach,
Woods was seen battling bravely against it, and
throwing a succorng arm around its trembling VIC
tins. After weeks of heroic exertion he fell at last
on Thursday eveing after a day, We are told, ofun-
paraleled effort, and carried to the hospital.
Broken down with WEAKNESS and watching, his ex-
hausted frame sunk rapidly under the terrible
scourge, and Sunday morning, despite the prayers
and labors and love of stricken people, he died.
His loss is an rreparable calamy-the heaviest blow
that has befallen the afflicted cities. How heavy
then to his poor wife and four or five little chdern
Be the widows husband and the orphans father
friend to them, for there never was dropped tear
over the grave of noble soul than Hunter Woodis!"

The entire vote of the State, i'll 1854 was o., 5,34s;
the entire vote, in 1866, is 9l III The Know Moth
ngs run 4, 900 votes behind Gen. Dockery, while
the Democrats run 369 votes ahead of Gov. Bragg
making clear gain, since 1854, of 1869 votes.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts which
were made by the Know Nothings, and the aid of
those Democrats whom they had seduced into their
midnight Councils, their candidates have failed, by
nearly five thousand votes, to poll the Wing strength

LATER FROM UrAH.-A despatch from St. Louis

"We are in receipt of dates from Great Salt Lake
to the lst of July. The third crop Of grain had
been destroyed, and the prospects of famine were
still imminent
"The Hon. L. Shaver, one of the Judges of the
Territory found dead in his bed on the 29th of

Hoes IN KENrUcxy.-According to returns to the
auditor of Kentucky, there are in that State, this
year, l,440,266 hogs over six months old, against
1862, ,244 last year. This decrease in number is
attributed to the short crop of corn last year, which
compelled many to kill that otherwise would have
kept them year longer. The quantity of pork
raised in the State the present season, however will
undoubtedly exceed that Of last year.
