sells lying at Cardenas, have addressed letter to
Gen. Cass, complaining that the authorities there
have taken steps to punish the murderers of Capt
c. G. Pendleton, of the bark Gen. Jones, who, in
company with two other masters, in getting into his
boat to proceed board, was attacked by gang of

The ACQUITTAL OF Mrs. CUNNINGHAA.-The trial
of Mrs. Cunningham, in New York, for the murder
of DR.. Burdel, was closed on the 9th and the jury
retired at I O'Clock. The closing scene is thus de-
scribed: ....
All ewes were directed towards them as they pro-
ceeded to the juryroom, and efforts were now made
to obtain a better view of the prisoner, whose fate
hung so awfuly in the balance. She however avoided
the prying curiosity of the crowd, as did also her
| daughters.
At twenty-five minutes of o'clock the jury re-en-
tered, when profound stiffness reigned, and the
clerk took his position in the witness chair and read
over the Names After all the jurors had answered,
he put the question, viz: Gentlemen OF the jury,
have you agreed upon verdictF' The foreman an
swered "We have" The prisoner Immediately there
upon showed signs of being deeply affected, and was
much agtated but the court ordered her to look to-
wards the jurors and also requested the latter to look
towards the prisoner.
The clerk then asked, "How say you, gentlemen,
do you find Emma Augusta Cunningham, otherwise
called Burdell, guilty or not gulty?" The foreman
responded, Mot guilty." But Mrs. Cunningham was
so agated that she heard not the words the foreman
uttered and did not know the verdict till her counsel
whispered to her then she sank back Ioverpowered
by her feelings. After recovering the prisoner and
her daughters conducted out OF court into one OF
the judges chambers, and there received the con-
gratIations of her friends at the happy termination
of the prosecution. She then returned to the fatal
house in Bond street. -........
1t is reported that the authorities have obtained a
clue that will bring to light the real murderers of Dr.
Burdell, and they are now engaged in ehectlng ar,
rests. The public are exceedingly anxious for some
| further development.
Public opinion it is said has turned in favor of the
parties long under suspicion, and several of the
papers severely the authors of their "perse
cutions." The Tribune denounces the manner in
which Mr. Hail. the District Attorney, conducted the
case and thinks he should have abandoned it when
he saw the insuffciency of the evidence.

MOBILE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-In the Mobile Ad-
vertiser of Saturday last, we find the following
Letters were received yesterday at the Office of the
Railroad Company, from Messrs. Milton Brown and
F. S. Lyon, who have been for some weeks in New
York on business for the company making the i'm
portant and gratifying announcement that they have
succeeded in negotiating highly favorable contract
with Mr.. Geo. Peabody and others, for the purchase
of 900 tons of iron rals-sucent to complete the
entire road from Mobile to the Ohio.
A knowledge Of the terms of the purchase ustifies
in sating-though it is not proper to publish them
at present, at least in detai-that they are highly
advantageous to the company and if they can be fully
complied with, will put this noble enterprise at last,
in condition of independence, and hasten it rapidly
to completion.
One feature in the contract is particularly satisfac
tory-the companys sterling bonds to large amount
are to be received in part payment for the iron.
There is however contingency to be met before the
contract is complete. Similar aid to that recently
tended so freely in this CITY, by of which track
laying has already been resumed, must be given by
the friends Of the road in the interior, but the
amount required is comparatively small and the terms
easy that cannot permit ourselves to doubt that
it will be forthcoming application. At meeting
of the Board of Directors held yesterday committee
was appointed to visit the country beyond the present
Mississippi terminus, with this view, and hope and
believe they will be successful in their mission. If
so the glorious future,' for which we have all so
longand patiently labored and waited for will speedily
dawn upon US. 81

FROM THE Rio GRANDE-By the arrival yesterday
Of the steamship Gen. Rusk, Capt Forbes from Bra
zos Santiago, we have received a Brownsville Flag of
the 18th, in which we find the following intelligence
We extract the following from letter dated La
redo, May 7, which shows how bold and defiant the
Indians have become for want Of proper chastsement
when they have committed depredations upon peace
full settlers along the frontier s
On the night of the I'd inst. four Indians went into
the camp Of the u S. troops at Fort Mcintosh, stu
ated about one mile from Laredo, cut the ropes to
which two of the best horses were tied aud rode them
off On the morning OF the Sd, at about or O'Clock,
Tomas Robes, a uaguer0 of Don Bartolome Garcia,
was taken by the Indians as he was riding to the
ranch of his employer, situated on the Chacon, and
known as the Puerte de Fiedra.'' This poor man
seized by these marauders and after having taken
his horse away from him, they bound him and dragged
him to point called Arroyite Banco. Here accord
ing to the wounded mans own statement they threw
him on his face and stamped and bruised him, also
wounding him with their lances until life seemed ex-
tinct Although his wounds are not what might be
called dangerous still they of such nature as Will
prevent speedy recovery.
The steamer Ranchero arrived on here last Saturday
evening from Upper Rio Grande. The passengers re-
port that the Indians had been in the vicinity of Ro
ma, and had killed and scalped a woman, wounding
another dangerously; also, thrown infant into a
cactus bush or prickly pear The little innocent was
found not to be seriously injured although it must
have been very painful on account Of the countless

Democratic State Convention.

The Democracy of the State of Louisiana meet in gen.
era conclave in the town of Baton Rouge to-day The
array Of delegates from the various quarters of the
commonwealth will undoubtedly be large and impos-
ing. 1t is more than probable all the parishes will be
represented by delegates or proxes-it being most
excellent and praiseworthy custom of the Democrats
not to neglect matters Of primary moment
We shall probably have some news from the Conven-
tion to spread before readers tomorrow. There
may, or there may not, be squabble for the supre-
macy in the organization of the Convention. There
was in the last Convention, although the apparent
vctors found themselves badly sold :" afterwards,
and had to bear the modification Of being taunted
with 90 halooing before they were out of the woods"
Whether the same parties have learned wisdom from
the lessons of experience remains to be seen. IT not,
they will be deceived, used and humbugged again.
The struggle for the Authorship will be very ami
mated, and the contending aspirants are closely
allied in strength that it is impossible to venture
confident prediction. The present Auditor, Hon. S.
F. Marks, deservedy has many friends, and if he is
oversaughed it will not be for lack of SKILL energy
service his part For the post of Treasurer there
will be strong contest This is fat and easy berth
of the cosiest in the State Many sutors WOO
ing the Treasury with ardor that appears undying
No wonder-for the Treasury is charming. Whowill
prove the happy man the future must disclose. We
hope he will be a good fellow. Hon. Robert Wool
dridge of this city, and Dr. G. S. Magoun Of Concor
dia the only candidates for the station of superin
tendent of Public Education, that we have YET
heard Of. -
The canvass for the nomination for Congress in tn,
Third District will be very close Thomas Green Da
wilson, the present incumbent, and the Hon. Andrew
s. Heron, Secretary of State, are understood to be
the principal contestants. Which will succeed it is
impossible to tell. The impression seems to be quite
general among those who profess to be the knowing
ones that Davidson will win. We consider it some
what doubtful whether the aforesaid " knowing ones
are correct in their conclusions However, shall
all know in two or three days.
But we will forbear further speculation and await
