Believe me, sincerely yours,
ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
Capt. Isaac Bowen, U. s. A., attached to the COM
missary department, died at Pass Christian Louisi
ana, on the 4th inst.
Official advices dated "Camp on the Pecos, Aug
ust 81 ,, from Capt. Pope's artesan well expedition
have been received at the office of Exploration and
Surveys.
1t is stated that the completion of a we'll in the
plan OF the Pecos would cost more than Congress
could be reasonably expected to appropriate and it
would not be carrying out the intentions of that
body, when voting the appropriation of one hun
dred thousand dollars, to expend all that sum at
one particular point to the total neglect of others
not less important.
The cost OF transportation alone for the necessary
material would exhaust the portion of the appro-
priation not hitherto expended
new military post named Fort Quitman in hon
or OF the late General Quitman, has been located
on the San Diego mail route, sixty miles beyond
Fort Davis and at the point where the road first
touches the Rio Grande The posts on this route
between San Antonio and FL Paso are Fort Inre
Fort Hudson, Fort Lancaster, Fort Davis, Fort
Cuitman and Fort Bliss.
A very large and enthusiastic Democratic ratif
cation meeting was held in Fanuel Hall, Boston,
on Monday evening. Speeches were made bv Hons
f. ID. Beach, Caleb Cushing and Jefferson Davis
Mr.. Beach, IN the course Of his remarks, was very
"But believe, sir, that this surging sea of pas
sion, folly and deluson has reached its highest
point. There are strong signs that it is sinking
back to quiet and rest Reckless and unworthy
men will undoubtedly continue the senseless cry
Let us follow up every retreatng wave and plant
ourselves like sea wall against its return. Let us
put our faces like flint against this shameless hy-
pocrlsy. Regardless of their derision and vulgar
reproach let us cultivate return of the old spirit
of friendship, forbearance and love- 1t is in this
way alone that harmony and right temper alien
ated friendship and lost confidence can be recover
ed. If philanthropy is never learned till embodied
IN congressional acts and enforced by law if reli-
giOus faith can be taught only from the creeds of
politicians; If temperance and sobrictv are never
found till hunted down by armed policemen, we
may well despair of them in our day. Such are not
the teachings of our creed Such are not the points
OF our faith The moral agencies by which the ele-
ments of society are made to work in harmony are
guided by wisdom higher and more unerrine than
mans"
THE CoMTNG END OF THE INDIAN WAR-We begin
to see an end OF the struggle. Dude and Shahabod
alone remain in possession of the rebels. The Cen
trail India insurgents fleeing from district to
district and town to town, careful not so much to
recruit their exhausted forces as to preserve their
igotten wealth. They are endeavorine to find
the limits of British power, a country where they
may settle IN peace, and found a new dynasty. But
the empire and the influence of the Indian Govern
ment are of no contracted limits. The offender can
not hope to escape beyond the confines of our rule
Sooner later Justice overtakes him; sooner or later
he pays the penalty of his crimes and only learns
our power when he discovers that flight is impossi-
bic. North and SOUTH east and west there is no.
thing for the rebel but the sea, to him an object of
supersttious dread, and tribes of whose hostility
he Is assured by the remembrance of bygone ages
OF conquest. Our confidence is not ill-fouhded.-
The steady rise in the value of government prom
lssory notes, the absence of all extensive local
disturbances, the increased vigOr of commercial
enterprise, and the removal of martial law over
districts at one time the very centres of rebellion
all show that at no time since May, 1857, have we
been more free from danger than at present
friend of India.
Church TYRANNY IN MExICo.-The priests of the
Suloaga, or Monarchist party in Mexico, have in
some places carried their intolerance to the extreme
OF refusing the rites of the Church. even to the eel
ebration of matrimOny, to those who will not re-
cant their oath of allegiance to the Liberal Consti-
tuition of 1857. A case is cited in the Monterey
Botet'n, which goes to show the power sought to
be exercised by portion of the Church. At Fres-
Milo, in the State of Iacatecas, man named Maui
rclo Ariaga presented himself with lady named
Carlota Herrera to the curate of that place and
demanded to be married. The applicant claimed to
have complied with all the acquisitions of the law
In such cases; but the curate decided differently
and refused to perform the ceremony while the an
plicants adhered to the Liberal cause
The disappointed bridegroom appealed to the
civil authorities, who, being of the Juarez or Lib
era party, rebuked the priest, and ordered him to
unite the parties in wedlock at their demand or he
would incur the penalties of a seditious disobe
dence to the laws.-States.
METHOD OF PREVENTING SEAsrcKSEss.-An al
legged preventive for seasickness, and illness
arising from similar causes, has recently been paten
ted in England by an Italian residing in France
named +: Molinari, which consists in the use of a
composition prepared in the following manner -
First, soak in pint and threequarters of vinegar
for about twelve hours, rue, = or; tumeric, d or;
green husks OF walnuts, z o.; recon (annatto)
IL or potash, q or; and poppy head. Then
boil the whole for half hour and strain through
fine linen. Pieces of ltering paper in four or five
thicknesses, measuring about ten by seven inches,
are to be soaked in the solution, and when dry,
sewn around the edges to pieces of some light fab
ric, wadding being placed between the paper and
fabric Cor the wadding itself may be soaked in the
solution, and tapes attached to the fabric, to at
tach it to the person. BY applying pieces of paper
or wadding prepared in the above manner to the
pit of the stomach, it is assumed that seasckness
and illness of an analogous character such as that
caused by the shaking of railroad cars and other
carriages, will be prevented.-Seientfc American.
DEATH OF JUDGE LowE-It is our painful duty to
record the daath of William Lowe, Esq, Judge of
the Orphans Court for this county, which event oc-
Cured on the night of the Sth inst. Mr.. Lowe was
stricken dow2 with paralysis on the 9TH inst, and
fingered until Friday night last, when his spirit
took its immortal Hight, we hope to better world.

a Judge OF the Orphans Court for upwards of six
the guardians and protectors of the widow and Or

odd years. during which time he has served in vari
GUS capacities, and by his kindness ofheart and up
right conduct made many friends. lie was GO wears
OF age. Ths creates a vacancy which the Governor
will have to f.-Frcderick Jfd.) Herald
The New Orleans papers inform us that the most
important subject that will demand the attention
and action of the next Louisiana Legislature is the
levee system of the Lower Mississippi. The flood
of last spring has demonstrated the nsufciency of
the present levees, and, unless more secure sys-
tenn be established, many of the sugar planters of
Louisiana, and many of the cotton planters of Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas, will emigrate to Texas. 1t
is suggested that there be held convention ofdele
gates from all the regions interested at which some

Balize.
TELEGRAPH MoNOPoLY.-Certan Western specu-
lators in concert with Peter Cooper and others of
New York, endeavoring to ST arrange matters
as to unite all the telegraph companies of this con-
tinent and place them under one management
One meeting has already been held to consider the
subject, and second is to be convened on the 10Th
instant. We hope that the consolidation will not
take place. The public will be better served where
there is an honorable experimentation Courier
The trial of Martha Morgan, a young widow,
called by the letter writer's handsome for the MUIR

N. c., has resulted in her acquital. The prisoner
was poor but 'proverbially honest" and the officer

killed him, and was acquitted more by sympathy
than strict judgment.
