RESURRECTION IN HAYTI-B Boston, June 2--Tle
Traveller publishes extracts from letter bearing date
g Aux Cayes, Hayti, May TO-" which states, that
formidable insurrecton had broken out in that part
of the island against the Emperor solouque. The wri
ter says A body Of from 1000 to 5000 insurgents
took possession of post between this place and Pin
grey last night, with the view Of attacking the town
today. The military authorities were only aware of
this at O'Clock this morning. The alarm drums
were Immediately beaten and every male adult in
the troops marched out with the citizens that had
Joined them but being but 500 strong it is probable
they will not make an attack on the Insurgents, hut
will content themselves with defending the entry OF
the town till reenforced.'

WASHINGTON, June 2, 1S56.-The Orizaba arrived
in time to quiet apprehensons as to Walkers condi-
tion His friends here are quite satisfied with his
prospects and present position 1t is ascertained too
that the British and French naval force had not in
tertered with American vessels arriving at San Juan.
The rumors to the contrary attributed to the hos
tillty OF the Vanderbilt interest.
1t will be seen by Mr.. Marcy's letters of the Oath
May on the Central American question, that Mr..
Dallas is instructed to propose arbitration in modi-
fled FORM unless the question can be settled by direct
negotiation. Instead of reference of the matter to
some European power is proposed to refer it to in
teisent wise and able private individuals either En-
glish or American.
This plan was suggested some time ago, in letter
from London written by Mr.. Dudley Mann, late As
sstant Secretary of State He proposed as arbtra
tor Mr. Bache on side, scientific subject on the
other, with Mr.. Joshua Bates as the umpire and
urged some plausible arguments in favor of the plan
and OF the selection Of Mr. Bates as an impartial and
intelligent umpire
Should the question be referred to any crowned
head it will be settled not by that poentate himself
but by his chancellor or law officer who will never
devote time and attention enough to the subject to
comprehend it. An intelligent judgment could be
better formed by private individuals as is now pro-
posed.
Affairs with England appear to be in a very salts
factory condition, and if the British Legation has
been closed here there is reason to believe that it
will not be soon restored.-[Cor. Bait. Sun.

VIcKsBuRG, SHREVEPORT AND TEXAS RA1LEoAD =
We have information direct from the eastern division
Of our road. The work is progressing rapidly and
everything moving on as prosperously as could be
pected, or almost even desired. 1t is expected that
the grade will be completed to Monroe, distance Of
seyenty-to and quarter miles BY the first Of
january next, and the iron laid as far out as the
Bayou Mason, a distance Of about thirty miles
When the iron is laid to that point the road will pay
in fact it would be an excellent road if it never ex
tended an inch further.
In little more than twelve months from this time
the cars will run to Monroe and what is more, the
whole road with its equipments will be paid for The
Company is now, and will be, at least until then en-
trely out Of debt 1t is the determination of the
Board to keep entirely free from debt until there is
such an amount of work completed as to form solid
basis of credit when if desired they can 60 into the
market with their bonds and get any amount that
may be required for future operations. This even
will not be necessary to the success of the work, as
no deficiency of means is anticipated but it may be
thought advisable, when the cars reach Monroe, to
anticipate the resources of the Company in order to
press forward the work more rapidly The contractor

the cars to the Texas line by the lst of May, 1855

MAIL MrssING.--We take the following from IL

MAIL M1ss1NG.-We take the following from the
Mobile Register of Sunday last:
The bag containing the entire letter mail from this
city to the East which left here on the morning of
the 2lst ut is missing. There is no trace of it after
leaving this postoice. The postmaster at Montgom-
cry six days after it was due there sent an enquiry
to the Office in this city to know if mail had been
forwarded on that day-the presumption until then
being that it had been forwarded from Montgomery
by mistake and would be returned. Nothing, howev-
er, has transpired in relation to it, although every
effort is being made to ascertain its whereabouts. We
also learn that the mail of 9th April from New York
disappeared in some mysterious manner and that no
tidings have been received of it.
