New ORLEANS, Jan. l5-Ths Texas is at
the Balise, with San Juan dates to the 10th.
The news is important. Henningsen re.
ceived reinfOrcenlents on the 9Th of Deem.
Der, and on the 10Th, after n seige of 10 days,
succeeded in driving the enemy before him
with loss of 1400. Henningsen's loss was
200. The odds were against him ten to
one.
All military stores, artillery and public
documents were removed to Rivas uninjnred
Walker took possession of Rvas without
opposition, the enemy evacuating upon hear
ing OF his approach,
The Costa Ricans had taken possession
of all boats on the San Juan river, thereby
cutting of communication with Walker.
A special dispatch to the associated press
states that the Costa Ricans were protected
10 this act by the English.
Three hundRsd vecraiss were waiting al
Punta Arenas, repairing steamer, which
would take five days, when il was deter
mined TO proceed up the river.
Just as the Texas was leaving messen
ger arrived, stating that Walker, fearing
something was wrong, had come over, find.
ing the state Of affairs, recaptured fort Sal
Carlos, which had been taken by the enemy
and was rapidly coming down the river scat
tering all before him.

The WEATHER AND ITS EFFEcrs.-On
Saturday night and Sunday morning last, our
section was visited by one Of the severcst
snow storms that has occurred in this meek
Of the woods" for many years. The weather
has been intensely cold ever since. Monday
morning 81 aunriss the Thermometer indicat-
I'd 6 degrees belov zero. The oldest inhabi
tant, a most reliable and verncious man, saya
nothing like II has occurred since the cold
Saturday Of 1885. Every thing Of liquid
nature assumed solid proportions-even the
whisksy-Pike's Magnolia, a villainous rom.
pound Of corn juice, atrychnine. hog tail to-
bacco, and buckeyes-lost its liquid chnrac-
ter under the congealing operations of the
atmosphere, and II is snid dealers were retail.
ing it on Monday morning by the pouad-
avsrdupois-instoad Of by the quart. OF
course. Il is impossible to get out spirited,
or even respectable looking, sheet under such
circumstances, and our readers must bear
with 10 until the weather moderates.

eE We have been amused in reading a
late number Of the Democratic Standard. a
leading Democratic paper of New Hampshire.

Pierce and his friends. 1t demands that Mr..
Buchanan shall make a very general sweep
Of the Pierce office holders, and, speaking Of
the report that Pierce intends being a candi.
date for the U. S. Senate, says:
1t indicates a want of gratitude on his
part towards many Democrats of which we
could hardly believe him capable, who gener.
ally repays confidence and friendship with
hypocrisy and treachery.
franklin Pierce is doomed to sad disap
pointment. And We will 60 farther and pre-
dict that Franklin Pierce can never be elected
to the Senate Of the United States, If the
State should again become Democratic. Hi,
appearance again upon the political arena il
this State will be followed by commotior
he little thinks Of New Hampshire will no
come to MN after the lapse OF two years, a
predicted by some Of his ssnguine friends
We advise him 10 retire to his farming, an,
be content with the unmerited and poorl,
worn honors he has already enjoyed.

ALL RIGHT SINCE IT is LocoFoco.-
81. Louis lntelligencer notes the fact that
not one Of the Buchanan Democratic organs
down South has ventured to cross the path
of the Pennsy lvania in its endorsement of the
great Missourian and its cordial extension to
him Of the right hand Of fellowship for Mr.
Buchanan and "the party" The silence is
rather ominous, that's fact. But then
there nre several very good sturdy reasons in
the shape of snug little berlhs, scraps of
patronage; ETC., etc, for this, and it's not ex.
actly safe to fire till You know what and
whom you may hit Political science is very
beautiful and complicated, and has many

of Parliament and known as Big Benz has
been solemnly tested. Mr.. Denison, its de.
signer, and great company Of the curious,
were present. The bell was not in its place,
but within bordering Mt the base of the
tower. The clapper, of twelve hundred lbs
weight, was on this occasion swayed to and

to be E natural, the note it was designed to

A MAMMOTH SCHEME IN New York.
The New York Herald has "each particular
hair on end as though electrified" at the idea
of a mammoth corporation about to be
formed out of union Of the Central and
Erie Railroads. The present debts are
about $4O,OOO,O00 each. This will be rals.
ed to SlOo,O0O,000. They will bny the
Hudson River Railroad. The cost OF this
will be S2O,OOO.0OO more. This Company
so expanded, will have the political inhu.
ence to buy up the public works, which will
cost some S5O,OOO,OOO more. Not content
with this, they will undertake new works
and SO take charge, lock, stock and barrel, Of
the whole State. In this aspect of the case
the Herald has some method in his madness
when he ntimates that there has been too
much of good thing in the way Of corpora.
ton enterprise; like whiskey, they may be
good for exigencies, but not for the meat and
drink Of common life. In 1851 we had in
the United States 5000 miles Of road com.
pleted; AT the present time we have $4,000
and we nre under stronger Roadway than ev
er. The direction is unqu-stionable good,
but nothing can be indefinitely projected and
| continue good all the way.

W 1t appears, from the reports of the
Treasury Department, that the surplus rev
enne on the goth of JAM, 1858, will be six
ty.three millions Of dollars. This is upon
the supposition that the Outstanding debt of
thirty millions, cannot be brought IN. The
offers for the purchase of that debt are not
likely to be taken. Besides, IL is not to be
considered that the present rate of mporta.
ton cannot be checked, for IL the tariff be
reduced at this season, It cannot be made to
take effect during the present fiscal year.

rambling over the hills of that vicinity, came
upon high ledge of rocks, upon the top of
which, he saw imbedded in the solid stone,
the distinctly marked tracks of men, birds
and animals, all Of gigantic size. Here is On
excellent chance for antiquarinns to distin-
guish themselves, in trncing the genoaogy of
this ancient md formidable race.
