last two years more than two thousand let

"Among these letters are great many
written by business men, and of much con-
sequence to their proper owners. They came

ARREST OF NJ. SALIZAR, THE MEXICAN
BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS.

A correspondent Of the San Antonio Led
ger, writm from FL Paso, May Q, says:
"Our town was thrown into great excite
ment last evening by the arrival Of Col. San
ches, out four days from Chihuahua, with or
dcrs from Santa Anna to arrest Mr.. Salzar,
the Mexican commissioner. The work on
the line has been, in consequence, suspended
until the new co mmissioner, who has already
left Mexico, arrives.
Mr.. Salizar, it is understood, will be al
lowed few days for preparation, and then,
under strong guard, taken TO the city OF
Mexico.
The charges against Mr. Salizar are,
understand, disrespect towards his superior,
and want of energy, or neglect, in pushing
the work to a conclusion. It is notorious
here that the government did not supply him
with the means TO take the field, and that he
borrowed the money on his own private ac,
count to carry on the work on the paJt o.
Mexico.
"Mr Salizar is one Of the most talented
and gentlemanly men in all Mexico. During
his previous sojourn, and the present he has
gained the respect and confidence of all.
Santa Anna has directed his thunder
against this gentleman how it will end, there
is no telling. No honest, virtuous man is al
lowed to hold office. Under these circum
stances, can Mckee prosper : The situation
of affairs here will effect the United States
commissioner Col. w. H. Emory, who, with
his usual energy, is pushing the work TO 6
conclusion. 1t would not surprise us to see
him back here soon.'

another lady, who was dressed in deep mourn
ing came quietly upon the ground and seizing
hold of lady number one pummeled her most

while this operation was being performed, and
made no effort whatever to interfere After
the feathers had flown for some time, lady
number two gave the head of lady number
one several hard bumps against fence hard

marched him off the ground. 1t is not in our

roughly handled made the best of her way off

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE HUDSON
nuvEn

Ercitinq Scene on board a Hoboten Ferry
Boat-7tco Men Drowned--Alieged Ms
conduct Of a Pilot.
Quite scene occurred on board the Ho-
boken ferry boat Newark, yesterday after
noon about half past six o'clock. 1t sppears
that after the boat left the Canal street
dock, poorly dressed man came to several
persons and asked them for money, alleging
that he was starving. but supposed him to
be an ordinary beggar, he was repulscd by
those he spoke to and aid refused
When the boat reached the middle of the
river, the cry was raised that man was over
board, and person was seen struggling in
the water, who proved to be the individual
who was soliciting charity.
Great excitement was caused on board the
steamboat, which was crowded to excess with
passengers. The engine was reversed, and
what purported to be a life boat quickly low
cred into the water. into which two OF the
deck hands, one named Joseph Lawrence, and
the other known as Dutch Charley, immedi-
ately jumped. They pulled towards the
drowning man, and succeeded in lifting him
into the boat. BY this time the steamboat
had driited some distance away from the
place, but several persons on board saw that
the lfe-boat was fast filling with water and
they shouted to the pilot to run the steam
boat near to afford them ass stance but it is
alleged that that official would not 90 so, and
he told the passengers he understood his
business.
She boat was settling every moment, and
still the steamboat kept drifting away. Sud
denly the small boat swamped ; and the three
men we're precipitated in the river. The in
dignation Of the passengers on board the
Newark at this time was intense. as they
deemed the conduct of the pilot, in not
keeping near the boat, highly censura-
bic. Dutch Charley was seen TO plunge
from the boat Immediately before it sunk,
and was not seen again, nor had his body
been recovered up to the time Of writing
Lawrence was more fortunate, as he was n
good swimmer, and was lucky enough to Sc
cure piece of floating board which sustained
him until he was picked up. The unfortunate
unknown was also rescued but though every
means used, he soon died, without being able
TO tell his name.
! 1t was the steamer Pioneer which runs TO
the Christopher street dock, which picked the
men up. A might be supposed, the persons
on board the Newark, who saw the men
drowning before their eyes, without being
able to render them any assistance, were not
little excited and the pilot was denounced
in unmeasured terms, it being believed that
| he was the cause Of the two mems DEATH

CONCORD, June 7.-Governor Metcalf was
inaugurated to-day, at noon, and delivered his
first message to the Legislature.
He recommends as little legislation as
possible, but that agriculture should be en-
couraged as preventative to Western emf
grafton. Advises guarded action in rela-
tion to corporation privileges, and recon-
mendS certain changes in the management o!
the public schools, as well as the establish
ment of State Reform School.
The Governor denounccs the liquor traffic
as public nuisance, and recommends the en-
actment Of prohibtory law, with provisions
for limited dissemination of liquorin certain
cases. The message is elaborate upon the
subject Of the foreign born and their inauen-
cling upon the religion and politics of the
country. The repeal of the Missouri Com
promise and the passage of the Nebraska act
are emphatically denounced, as violations OF
plighted faith and great wrong upon the

subject of slavery, the liquor traffic, and

On Sabbath morning last, an infant, son
of the Editor of this paper, aged about II
months, fell from the second story window to
the pavement beneath, distance of from Is
to 20 feet and when picked up was supposed
to be past recovery. DR.. Wishart being call
ed in, made carefulexamination of the child,
but was unable to discover that it had sus-
tanned any injury-either externally or in
ternally. AT the time Of this writing, the
babe appears to enjoy its usual health-there
being no visible evidence of the slightest pos
sble confusion or even scratch! Truly this
was miraculous escape Surely some angel
hand must have buoyed up the babe, as the
distance it fell upon brick pavement, was
sufficient to have caused its instant death !
Who can doubt that the hand that saved it is
Divine To him the hearts of its grateful
parents give all the praise.-lV Washington,

The above is undoubtedly true-coming

tance of eighteen feet on a brick pavement,

Col. Kinney, following in the footsteps Of
his iustrous predecessor, the flibustering
hero, Walker, has, it is reported, evaded the
watch the United States Government had
set upon his movements and departed secret
ly for Nicaragua, with about sixty of his par
ty, This fact is strong presumptiye evidence
OF the unlawlhlness of his project. With the
means the United States Government has at
hand TO prevent his carrying out his scheme
Of aggression, it ought certainly yet to pre-
vent this man delying its authority and de-
ceiving its officers. The few persons who
have been silly enough to engage themselves
under his and Walkers direction, will have
reason TO repent their act. If they fall into
hands Of the Nicaraguan authorities, while
attempting to overthrow Them, they will pro
baby set up the plea of being American citi-
zens, and claim the protection Of this Govern
ment though deliberately violating the laws
of the country in the manner Of their depar-
ture, and doing what they can to disgrace it
in the object of the expediton.-Phila. Led

THE CASE OF ARRIsoN- albany June o.
On Thursday the District Court of Ohio, in
session in Cincinnati, granted new trial to
VIM. ii. Arrison, of internal machine notorie-
ty. convicted of murder, on the ground of mis-
direction in Judge Flynn's charge to the jury.
The Court has remanded his case to the
Court of Common Pleas for a new trial.
1t is supposed that an act of the Leglsla-
ture transferring the business of criminal
court to the Court of Common Pleas is so
defective as to be null and void, and that Ar
rison cannot therefore be tried by that court
and the District Court having adjourned to
September next the order cannot be amended.
Should the act referred to be void, Arrson
will probably be discharged on writ of ha-
beas corpus, and thus escape punishment
