From Mexico.

By the arrival of the barque Wildfire,
Capt. Marschalk, from Vera Cruz, we have
adviees to Nov. NV. 10Th.
The English difficulty had been arranged
in the city of Mexico on the 18th Of Novem-
Der. The Mexican Government has submit
ted to all and every condition asked by the
British Minister
Mr.. Barron will be reinstated as British
Minister at Mazatlan. Gov. DeYolledo and
Senior Landro will be tried A Committee
is to be appointed to estimate the damage.
The house of Barron & Farten had recoy-
cred. .n... ...,
President Comonfort left the City of Mex
leo for Puebla on the 18th of November. He
took with him fresh supplies of troops and
ammunition. The general belief was that
this foolish Revolution would soon be qui-
eted.
Tie Mexican lnan-ofwar steamer Demo-
crata commanded by Capt. Nunez, which
lately left Mexican port under very myste-
rious circumstances and was presumed to
have gone on piratical cruise, is thought to
be still cruising in the Gulf-though the gen.
eral impression was in Vera Cruz that it was
Nanez's intention to join Walker in N,cara-
qua. . -f ....
The Government steamer Guerrero, which
was sent in pursuit Of the Democratic came
up with her off the coast of Yucatan, and
after short action was forced to retire
having received a shot near the water the

jury. The force of the Guerrero was far in
terior to that of the Democratic.

Among the new towns which are spring
into existence west of us there are several the
Republican has not noticed as yet. kandi-
yohi, Whitefield, Charlton, and Onawa
have been located recently.
Kandiyohi is about 80 miles, little
north of west, from st. Anthony. 1t is in
Town ll9, Range 81, Sec. 80, and is roman
tically situated on, or rather between, two
lakes belonging to the Kandiyohi chain of
lakes. These lakes, it has been ascertained,
extend over much more extensive country
than was heretofore supposed. In shape,
they resemble Minnetonka-but there is a
greater number of islands which also are
covered with an excellent growth of timber.
One or two buildings have been erected, and
arrangements are being made to put up a
saw-mill next spring. For farming advan-
tages the vicinity is scarcely surpassed. A
map of Kandiyohi has been completed and
will soon be Autographed.
Whitefeld is about 10 miles west of Kan
diyohi, on one of the Kandiyohi lakes. Its
location is quite favorable-scarcely less so
than Kandiyohi. Improvements have been
commenced, and will be continued in the
spring. The government survey ends at
this place for the present year. 1t derives
it's name from the artist who has sojourned
among us of late.
Charlton is located on a small lake about
Is miles west of Red Cedar Island Lake.
and about the same distance east from Kan
diyohi Lake. No improvements have been
made on the town site, owing to the late
ness of the season. 1t is intended to COM
mence early next spring. The country has
an exceedingly rich soil.
These three towns were located by the
Kandiyohi Town Site Company and are as
follows: John Swanson. of Chisago county,
President D. NJ. Coolbaugh, of Minneapo--
lis, Vice President Chas Hoag, do, Secre-
tary and G. L. Anderson, do, Treasurer ;
Col. Stevens, of Glencoe, Gen Karns and
Uriah Thomas, of Minneapolis, Financial

EARLY TRANSLATION on THE BIBLE.-Thc
translation of the Bible was begun very ear
ly in this kingdom. Some part of it was
done by King Alfred. Adelmus translated
the Psalms into Saxon in 909. Other parts
were done by Edfrid, or Egbert, 7O5 the
whole by Bede. In 1857 Trevisa published
the whole in English. Tindalls translation
appeared 1884, was revised and altered in
1888, published with preface of Cranmer's
in l549, and allowed to be read in churches.
In 1851 another translation was published.
which being revised by several bishops, was
printed with their authority in 1860. In
1913 new translation was published by
authority, which is that in present use.
There was not any translation of it into the
Irish language till 1856. The Pope did not
give his permission for the translation of it
into any language till 1795.-Jenosay's

A LONG SENTENcE.-Virgil Mccormick,
says the Detroit Advertiser, against whom
so many indictments were found in the Uni

Wits to procure land warrants and pension
money, was brought before the Court last
week for sentence. He was sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment in the State Prison on
the indictment on which he was tried and
found guilty, five years on each of the three
other indictments, to which he plead guilty,
and to one months Imprisonment in the
county Jail, and to pay a fine of ST. for resist
ing an officer-making in all twenty-five
years in the State Prison, and one month in
the County Jail.

The telegraph informed us yesterday morn
ing that the Committee on Territories would
during the present session of Congress, in
troduced bill for the organization of a
state government in portion of Minnesota.
But the statement was by no means clear as
to the division of the Territory by line
running north and south, commencing on
the Missouri River at the mouth of the Big
Sioux, following that stream to its source,
thence across to the Red River Of the North,
and following the channel of the same to
the British possessions on the 10th parallel
OF latitude. The eastern division is to be
erected into state under the name which
the Territory now bears-the western to re-
main under the present Terrific: ial govern
ment. and to be known as the Territory of

IMPORTANT TO HOTEL KEEpING.-A suit
was tried in the New York Superior Court
last week, brought by W. Pervis against
Coleman & Stetson, of the Astor House, to
recover 9400 sterling, which was stolen from
his trunk on the day of his arrival at that
hotel, in January last. The jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount,
holding as of no effect the notice posted on
the door of the room, to the effect that the
proprietors would not be responsible for
money not left with the clerk.

I The editor of the Mansfield Herald makes
poetry by the yard, and lets his Foreman,
when he snakes up" the paper, cut it off to
snit. From economical considerations, he
prints it in prose, but those POLITICALLY inclin-
ed may read poetry. We make from q col
umn three selections. First, the specimen of
professional news:
EDITORIAL CoNvENTIoN.-We see, since
We last week to this drew attention, Medary
the Pesident called the convention, for Sat
urday the 18th to hold on two days, step
We are fearful will make great "braze''-
For our people take pride, be it known far
and wide, that we have moral community,
and we can't allow any kind of a row, on the
Sabbath to pass with impunity. And since
to the Jews, the Lord did refuse, to pick up
their Sticks on that day; our people won't
see, how in thunder't can be, that Printers
are better than they. SO Colonel recall the
mandate and all, come together the Thursday
before, we'll show you the lions, and spread
ing our viands, we'll gladly stake yom in''-at
the door!
Second, the every day news:
RAILROAD CoLLIsIoN-Another smash-up
at Alliance, came off Friday in defiance of
strict rules and regulations governing cars
at railway stations. Two trains upon the
o. P. Road, bumped together with their
load, and sent three cars kiting. which in
the ditch alghting, were crushed, but did no
further harm than fill the men with great
alarm.
Third, the m,rine news:
BoATMEN AHoY !-On Salt River, boating
is lively just now, gaily dashins up stream we
see many Prov, with their jolly scliite crews,
making vocal with song, the valley and grove
as they're gliding along, while slowly doom
stream, in theg round tubs, c me Locos and
Rufians with pistols and clubs, all drunk
save the crews, who are Georgian niggeas,
drought down because Wise had declared
that the figures, OF them would be raised if
Old Buck was elected, as casks of sold rot
gut should the whites be inspected Each
captain in kindness just sends in his bill to
be printed; but goodness ! the space they
would fill, our room far transcends; so they're
dropped in the drawer, and wishing all WELL
we shut down the door.

ADvERrIs1NG.-The Albany Transcript
says that though the advertising rates of the
New York Tribune are 81 to 81 so per line.
there are persons, wide awake, business men.
who believe and know by experience, that
advertising is profitable to them-wEo have
from 10 to 300 lines in each issue of that pa-
per. The Illinois Central Land Comnanv

Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Railroad.
The Mitchell county Republican, publish

Inc MltcneI county hepuDllcan, puDllSh
ed on the Cedar river in Iowa, says:
An efficient corps of engineers is now To-
eating and establishing the grade for the Ce-
dar Valley Branch of the Chicago Iowa and
Nebraska Railroad through this place. Mi
chellcounty voted at the late election to loan
the credit of the county to this railroad
company for two hundred thousand dollars,
to aid in the construction of the above road
by majority of one hundred and eighty
votes.
This road crosses the Mississippi river at
Clinton City, runs thence to Cedar Rapids,
where it intersects the Cedar river, passing
through the finest interior counties, and the
most thriving inland towns in the state,
among which are Vinton, Waterloo, Wa
verify, Bradford, Usage, Mitchell, and on to
ST. Paul. That part of the road between
Clinton City and Cedar Rapids, is under
contract to be completed by January, 1853,
and it is probable that the entire road to the
state line between Iowa and Minnesota
Territory will be put under contract in the
spring.

TEMPERANCE PLEpGE.-A number of our
fast young men signed temperance pledge
on New Years day without being aware of
it. 1t seems that in some of their calls they
were requested to leave their autographs in
book prepared for that purpose. Their
surprise was great, however, when they
found they had written theirnames to pledge
to abstain from intoxicating drinks during
the wear 1857.

WooD MEAsrEER.-It is probably not
generally known that We have wood mea-

snred, the owner thereof is subject to fine.

furce this salutary ordinance. Mr.. Wm.
