ExorrEMRsr At AUSTIN, TExAs.-Austin
the capital of Texas, was in a state of great
excitement ut the latest date, in consequence 81
the attempt on the part of certain gangs Of
men who entered the town armed cap a pie for
the purpose Of preventing the Sheriff from or.
resting two men charged with firing the Audi
tors office some weeks since. A man named
Hyncs, who had been arrested for the offense,
turned States evidence and implicated two men
named Blankcnship and Lewis. The Sheriff
then attempted to arrest them, but the people
where they lived, at some distance from Aus.
tin, prevented him from doing so by force, but
at the same time said the parties should appear
in Austin for examination at the proper time.
When this arrived they did appear sure
enough, but surrounded and accompanied by
SOM fifty men, all armed to the teeth with
revolyers, shot guns and bowie knives, and
publicly announced that Blankenship and
Lewis should not be arrested, though they pro.
fessed a willingness that they should be
examined. The authorities thinking that an
examination under such circumstances would
not amount to much, were taking steps to ar
rest the men and put down this bold attempt
to resist the laws. Great excitement prevailed,
and the Sheriff was arming a posse Of men to
assist him.

FKon CENTRAL AMERlcA.-The NewY ork
Evening Express of the l3thhas the following
from Guatemala :
In4the session of the Guatcmalan House o.
Representatives, on the 18th of December, one
OF thee Deputies, Sr. Arriola, made q long
speech about the affairs Of Nicaragua, the late
occurrences in which Republic he thought
threaterFd imminently the existence Of not only
Nicaral ia herself, but the nationality Of the
remaining States of Central America. He
SsZas,5A the most energetic measures should be
taken by the Guatemalan Government to pre-
serve the integrity Of the Republic, and called
upon the Minister to report what had beer
done in that regard.
The next day, the Minister replied that the
President had ordered him to inform the
Chamber that the Government had paid great
attention to the subject ever since the first
news Of the commencement Of Walkers rgime
in Nicaragua, and had taken all measures rem.
dered necessary thereby. That His Excellency
would not lose sight of the matter, and that the
Chamber might confdc in his vigilance, re-
naming content that he would defend the
nationality of the Republic, and preserve all
her sacred interests. 2
However, the member Of the House was moi
content. and the sam Sr. Arriola introduced
a law calling a general muster of all the III
habitants of the country in defense. After
considerable discussion, the House refused tc
entertain the proposition, and it was indefinite
ly laid upon the. table, the members conceivine
the country to be in no immediate peril,

DroRAAA. = On Wednesday night Prof.
Rives exhibited his Diorama Of the Solar
System, etc, in this town, and was rewarded
with q house full Of Opelousans, highly pleased
as well as instructed.
After the Prot. had concluded his lecture
upon matters connected with astronomy, Of
which science he appears TO be q master, our
worthy and ingenious citizen, Simon Richard,
brought forward as an addenda several moving
figures (ynlgarly known as I" puppets" and set
them in operation. They are the most life-like
and altogether the best that We ever saw. We
would like to give a description Of them, but
really our skill falls short. We can only say
that, in common with the rest OF the audience,
we we're delighted, and left the room with a
satisfied sensibility Of Mr.. Richards exquisite
skill his puppets will edo to travel"

MExIco.LAnother shindy has been kicked
up 10 this country 81 revolutions. By in ar
rival at Newt orleans from Vera Cruz last
Monday, it appears that the castle Of San Juan
dc Ulua pronounced in favor of Haro y Tama-
riz on the night Of the 18th, and on the 18th
notified the city that if it did not surrender by
noon it would be bombarded. AT the time
appointed, the city not having surrendered, a
FIRE which lasted an hour was opened on it,
killing two persons and doing somc damage to
buildings. Subsequently, q French frigate came
up from SACRIFICES md anchored between the
castle and the city. For several days things
were quiet. On the 10th, the war steamer
Guerrero came in to tow out the ship Guada-
lupe. and the castle blazed away at her for
fifteen minutes, killing the first lieutenant and
four mon, and wounding seven Others. In the
mean time, q bomb from Fort Santiago fell III
the castle, blowing up an ammunition chest,
and killing and wounding fftysix men. The
next day, the castle surrendered to the city.
There was o general stampede Of families for the
n%eighboring villages.
Conspiracles to pronounce" are being de-
tected and punished in many Of the cities and
towns. Troops are marching hither and thither,
but for what purpose we dono, and c%antell, but
suppose it is to preserve the national silence by
arresting and summarily executing all those
who pronounce"
We don't think any new Mexican revolution
is likely to cause a general confagration Of the
Gulf Of Mexico, at any rate.

The Legislature of Virginia is celebrating
upon q bill to amend the third section of chap
ter lob of the Code Of Virginia, so as to de.
clare all persons, having one-sixteenth or more
of negro blood in them, mulattoes. Ex-Gov.
Floyd opposed the bill, on account of the dill.
Guilty, if not impossibility, if it passed, Of de
filming the status of individuals of this class.
He argued that there should be a line of de.
narration, beyond which the pollution of the
African blood would cease to be transmitted,
