"KILT" AND BURIED ALIvE.-A Milwau-
kie correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune relates the following amusing incident
which occurred, after a snow storm, on one
Of the railroads in the vicinity of that city ::
4 company Of Irishmen were employed
in shoveling out one Of the deep cuts under
the direction of one of the officers. The
snow had drifted in behind them, filing up
the track again. when powerful locomotive,
with snow plough attached, was sent under
full head of steam, to clear it out. On
she came finging the drifts over her smok-
stack. and walking straight through all OBJ
stacles, till she rushed bolt upon the compa.
ny of shovelers They heard the whistle
but supposing she would halt, kept on with
their labors The engineer, on the contra
ry, supposed they would clear the track.
and shot down on them SO rapidly that the
superintendent had barely time. by pow
Aerful jump. to save himself The shovelers
had no time and the snow plough, as it
tore through the drifts, turned over double
furrow of live Irishmen. Some were thrown
high and dry upon the bank: others we're
smoothly laid out and covered in; but not
one was injured. 1t is said that most of
them believed they were actually dead and
buried, and it was difficult to convince them
to the contrary.

The National Intelligencer has letter
from highly intelligent resident at San
Francisco dated March Is. which the wri.
ter, after remarking that personal extrava.
gance has been the chief cause of many of
the recent failures in that city, says:
The days of annual rents, in some cases
equal to the whole cost of the property. and
seldom less than fifty per cent. annual in
come on the cost, have gone, never to re-
turn. So likewise has disappeared interest
at from three to six per cent per MONTH
All who had any experience or knowl-
edge of business. commercial or financial,
were fully aware that no trade, no commerce.
no employment of any kind. could long
stand such rates. and the only wonder to me
has been that the bubble has continued so
long without previously bursting Labor
is the next thing to come down indeed it
has already come down, and must 60 still
lower. 1t was absurd to suppose that from
four to five dollars per day for common la
borers eight to ten for mechanics, and sixty
to seventy dollars per month for farm labor
ers land these latter found,) could long con.
tinue in opposition to the competition. no.
only from the Atlantic States, but also from
the rest of the new and all of the old world,
the inhabitants of which would flock here
by thousands and tens of thousands to par
ticipate in such rich remuneration There
is, in fact, at this moment. great distress
here for the want Of employment, and thou
sands are anxiously desirous of returning to
their homes in the old States if they could

THE EXPEDITION TO THE PLAINs-The
St, Louis Republican. of recent date,
says -
Active preparations are making for this
expedition, and the troops are put en- route
as rapidly as possible. Two companies left
about the middle of the week. and much
larger force will leave to-day or Monday
next. The whole army will be ready to
march from Fort Leavenworth before the
grass is sufficiently high for forage for the
animals attached to the expedition. Some
thing of the extent of the expenditure mag be
inferred from the fact that five thousand bar
rels of -four at twelve dollars per barrel,
make one of the items Of the account OF
purchases 1t is to be put up in Sacks

THE CINCINNATI RIoTs--IMPoRTANT
TESTIMONY investigation of the ori-
gin Of the riots in the Eleventh Ward Of
Cincinnati has been going on before the
coroner's jury. Several highly respectable
witnesses have been sworn and examined
Their testimony fully establishes the fact
that the violence all ori gnated with the for
eign-born population, who, in the Eleventh
Ward, insuled the Americans without the
least provocation whatever, excluded them
forcibly from the polls knocked them down
with clubs and dray-pins, drew deadly
weapons on them. and maltreated them
in every conceivable manner
No earthly provocation should have in
duced the Americans to demolish the ballot
boxes but it is not strange that such out
RACES as they were subjected to excited them
to The commission of deeds which in mo-
ments of reflection they would have abhor-
red And after all it was probably quite
as great crime on the part of one party
to prevent by physical force the depositing
of votes in the ballot box, as it was on the
part OF the other to destroy the votes already
deposited. Lou. Journal

The REVOLUTION IN MExICo-By the
arrival of the British steamer Clyde at Ha-
vana from Vera Cruz, the Charleston Cou-
1ier has advicas from the revolution, said
to be six days later than the accounts re-
cciyed via New Orleans. Every thing, it
is stated, seems to indicate the fall of SANTA
ANNA. The report of the disafection of
MORENO, bis subsequent capture and ezecu-
tion, are without foundation, and gotten Up to
entrap ALVAREZ The C0urier'S account
states that Colonel ZlREs was recently dis
comftted at Cazores, his whole regiment
dispersed by the revolutionists. and in at
tempting to cross the Passagayo river, we're
drowned.
Gov. MAxMo ORTEz, on a march from
Itehucan to Tehuantepec, fell into an ambus-
cade. and his whole force of 600 was nearly
annihilated.
Accounts from the South are favorable to
the cause of the Observation-Disclosures
is supreme in Guerrero. 1t is the univer-
sal opinien that SANTA ANNA will be oblic-
ed to fly The country. and it is also evident
that the Allied European powers stimulated
Mexican internal connections. to bring Mex
leo on their side, and identify her with
Cuba.

HORRIBLE AFFA1R.-We are informed
that an old man, whose name we did not
learn. who was placed at Beach Hills by
Capt. Frank Keeling of the steamer Loui
sa, in charge of some freight, mysterious
ly disappeared about ten days ago.
Search was made for him. and his body was
at length fshed from the river, bearing
marks of violence upon it. A hole through
the head, supposed to have been made by
a gun or pistol shot, was discovered and the
skull was crushed in several places A ju-
ry Of inquest sat upon the body, and report
ed that the deceased came to his death by
violence from some person or persons un-
known. We sincerely hope the inhuman
perpetrators Of the deed may be brought to
justice. Camden South Stamp

his letter of the 10th ult., says:
at is understood that the Cuban crisis in
the Cabinet continues. Another protracted
meeting is reported to-day, No test vote
has yet been taken, though the peace panty
is represented in the ascendency. Repeat
ed ballots of uira roce divisions are alleged
to have taken place. which have all left the
President in the minority. Davis and Dob

said to receive an occasional lift from the
Postmaster General, which only suffices to
make a tie and prevent combustion. because
Messrs. Marcy, Guthrie, McClelland and
Gushing present a firm and united front in

When the Emperor Nicholas was on a

the Holy Father reproached him with his
persecution OF Catholics in his dominions
The Gar did not deny the various ukascs
which the Pope had desienedIy collected.
and pointed out to him with his finger He
even frankly acowed them and justified them
too, remarking that he had done so because
he, of course could not look upon Roman
Catholicism as the true religion. At these
words Gregory rose from his seat, and rest

Gar, said to him. in the presence of Cardi-
