A Remarkable Story.

We see it stated in sundry Know Notbino exchanges that ono Mir. Borden, or Col. Bor- den, who represents himself to have been pri. vate secretary to Gen. SANTA ANNA, and Co. lonel in the Mexican army, has been lecturipe to the New Workers on "Mexico and her noo pie" when he took occasion to make the fol. lowing remarkable statement:
 During the Mexican war 2.3OO men deser,- ed from the American army and settled down Tn Mexican provinces, where the United States troops did not penetrate. They manaoed to lngratlate themselves with the inhabitants and most of them married into rich families. Aft.r all the inquiries have made, learn that on1,, seven 9 Hiese 'oe'e Americans; nearly all were Catholic Irish. They married daughters of rch families, had children by them. and tben left the country, and have not been bearI of since" VI
 Ohc would suppose, from the accuracy of the ColonePs statement, that he was head of the bureau oi statistics, instead of simple o,oon. "ensas of correspondence for the Mexican Ex. President. The inquiry naturally occurred to us, on reading this extraordinary develonment what end the Mexican government or Col Ror den had ln view when 1t Cor he) instituted tbe investigation into the nationality of the deser. ters rom our flag, or whether, after all. the in- vesugation was net had under the authority of the grand ignoramus of the United States
 The Mexican government if we are correctly informed, Is not much given to statistics and we think, therefore, that the Know Notbngs must have been pushing their investigations in. to that region of the continent with the view 10 H the late Presidential election. The gallant Colonel Is evidently believer in the same sub. hme and mysterious creed, else he would ne. s yer nave noted down with such accuracy these iacts or fcfions (we know not which, for rhu brethren No"/ 'oi 'ne
 Another remarkable feature of the Colone],s statement is that at these dese,4ers Lo,s 1sa ,hs eoun''y the majority of them having previous. iy married into rich families. Let the Colonsl pursue hs investigation still further and tell us what motive induced them all to leave the Ian oi fortune and luxury about the same time and also sIs to what country they have emierated.- The cause of good morals ana mopoeamv ron.

Hon. Preston $. Brooks.

We sec by our exchanges, that this gentle man died very suddenly in Washington city, Up 10 few hours before his death, he was walk ing about in apparent fine health.
 On the 29th ultimo, his funeral took place and was attended by the President and the President elect, by the supreme judges and the members of both houses of Congress. His body was inferred in the Congressional cemetery.
 The very sudden death of Mir. Brooks. under the circumstances that surrounded him, will create the painful impression upon the south ern mind that he was foully dealt with. in some way or other The caning he so justly and so appropriately administered to Sumner. and the terrible flight he gave Burlingame, made him a thousand enemies among the abolitionists about Washington, who are too unscrumlous to stckle at any means to remove out of their way so formidable an adversary as Mir. Brooks proved to be-
 The southern people will hear of Mir. Brooks death with deep regret He was gentleman ln the flower of manhood talented brave and generous. He created stir in the country by his prompt resentment of wrongs against his Stale and his relative and as we do not regard the Senate Chamber, during the recess of the Senate, as any more sacred than any other four walls in the world, we heartily approve his conduct n every respect. We sincerely lament the death of one so full of promise

Cairo ans! Euitot H.,;ro.S

We are pleased with the sentiment of tbs following article from the Memphis Bulletin So far from there being any rival interests be- tween the Cairo and Fulton, and other railroads in the State, the construction of any one will promote the construction of the others. We wish the sentiment could universally prevail: CAIRO AND FULTON RoAD.--A number of To. cal agents have been appointed to canvass for stock along the line of this road, and quite a spirited meeting was held lately at the capital of the State, at which S100OO was taken upon the spur of the occasion. We are glad to see this re-awakening of interest in this enter prise Push it on!--say we, and let the two converging lines of that road and the Memnhis road, gather their united strength at Little Rock at as early day as possible, for a hold push stlll further westward and southwestward--t the Pacific ocean on the one hand. and tba mao. ntcent region of Indian territory lying wes, of Arkansas on the other
 It IS great error to suppose there is any an. tagonsm of interest between the Mempbis road ana the Cairo road project. On the contrary 'ne progress of the one will but stimulate the energy and excite the emulation of the friends of the other. The building of one will assure the building of the other; and these aoain of still others not yet undertaken. We ebaye never opposed this enterprise; and now. on the contra. ry cordially wish 1t good speed.

lI0u. JacoD TLoiaDsnn of Mississinni.

4tSu. JacoD IhOia psoa of Mississippi.
 We see by our Miss. exchanges that the name oft How. JACOB THOMPSON is mentioned IS the probable democratic candidate, for governor In the approaching canvass, in that State. What ever position he may be called upon to occupy, he Will always do so with dignity and ability. We regard his as one of the first and most ac compliahed minds of the country. During his loug and arduous service in Congress, he de- servediy ranked among the leaders of the de- mocrat'c party, and his purity of character, his stern integrity and devotion to his official du ties, acquired for him an enviable reputation. The Hon. JACOB THOMPSON is great favorite. not only in his own State, but throughout the west, and his preferment to national honors, by the incoming administration, would be received with the warmest approval throughout the broad valley Of the Mississippi.
 We would not presume to counsel or advise the President elect in the selection of any member of his cabinet nor shall we murmur if oar iavorite should not be chosen, but we cannot withhold the expression of a wish. which We know is generally shared by the people Of Arkansas that ME BUCHANAN should elevate JACOB THOMPSON to place at his council board. His appointment to the secretaryship of the interior, place he is so eminanty qualified and fitted to fill, would not only secure to the President an able coun- selor and a fathful and efficient officer, but would at once establish lis administration in the confidence of the people of the west.
 The success of every administration, neces- sariIv, in a very great degree, depends upon the choice of cabinet. We have every con- tideuce that Mir. BUCHANAN, familiar as he personally IS with the public men of the na- tion, will gather around him the ablest, the best and the purest. We look forward to his admin stratiou with the hope and belief that it will rebound to A;s own reputation, and to the prosperity and happiness of the people,
