disposed Of all her jewelry to provide

in SOU, no less heroic in deed, and no less

On the 10Th ult. at 81 P NJ the naval
magazine at Havana, situated at the head
of the harbor, containing about 10000
pounds Of gunpowder, several hundred
shells, together with large quantity Of
rockets, fireworks, &C., exploded. The
shock and effect, as described by the resi-
dents Of the city, we're truly awful. Thus
far there had been found in the ruins and
about the grounds % dead bodies, and 105
wounded, four Of which died shortly after
being removed to the hospital. For some
moments the air was filed with all de-
scriptions Of destructive missiles, and
stones, shells, &C., were projected a long
distance from the building and into the
bay No damage was done to the vessels
at anchor. The dead bodies Of three CO.
lies were blown through the air to the
slope Of Fort Atares, nearly quarter Of a

Ten Days Later News from the Atlantic
States. &c.
By the arrival of the clipper Ship Europa in
II days from San Francisco we have received an
Alta California of the llth inst. from which we
extract the following intelligence arrived by the
overland mail in "a days from St. Louis, Mo-
The Southern Overland Mail arrived in this
city yesterday morning at o'clock, in "a days
from St. Louis, by way of Ell Paso, Tucson, Los
Angeles and San Jose.
From this it will be seen that the time to this
city, from San Jose, was six hours, from Los An
geles, &C hours, and from FL Paso, 9 days and Is
hours. Ell PasO is about halfway between St.
Louis and San Francisco, SO that it took Is days
on the Eastern half and 9 l2 days on the Western,
half of the road. The Eastern half should be
crossed at least as rapidly as the western half,
and at that rate the time would be but l9 days.
The men ut the different stations did not know
when the mail would come, and were not prepared
for it so that considerable delay caused in
getting ready at most of the stations.

NEw RACE OF ABORIGINALs.-GoLD DIscOV-
ERY.-Some time since paragraph appeard in the
Empire relative to the discovery, in the far interi
or, of q new race of blacks, "who had no hair on
the top of their heads in the place where the wool
ought to grow" The account of this most extra
ordinary discovery has been corroborated by an
eyewitness MIR. Thompson, who is at present
residing at Mr.. Whittaker's, in East Maitland, who
has just arrived from the vicinity where these fun
ny aboriginals ruralise. They are of a copper coli
or, and are tall and athletic, much superior In every
respect to their darker skinned brethren. The wo-
men are also said to have more claims TO beauty.
They, however, are also deficient of what is gene
rally acknowledged to be " the glory of women "
Mr.. Thompson, it appears, was at camp the
Upper BalOnne with others, on ground hitherto
trodden by a white man, when he surprised by
a visit from these bald paed, copper-colored beings
They sppeard to have friendly intentions, and as
nothing was noticed in their conduct of an aggres
sive nature, a conversation by signs and mods en-
sued. After while sovereign was shown to
them. when one of them, picking up stone, point
ed with his finger to the far west, and intimated
that stones of similar description to the sovereign
were to be picked up on the ground, in masses as
large as the stone he held. The place was under
stood to be some hundred miles further in the inte
rior, but they sgni6ed their intention of bringing
some of these stones at their next visit. Mr..
Thompson intends to return again to the Balonne,
and to await their arrival. If this story be true
the age of wonders truly has not ceased. The in
credu.ous may, by a visit to Mr.. Whittaker's, hear
the particulars as We have described them.-M0if-

The Acquisition of Sonora.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1858.
The movement for the acquisition of Sonora
has met with universal favor. Even England con-
sents, provided that the sum paid by the United
States s.aIl be so conditioned that it will insure
the payment of interest to her own bondholders.
With this condition, We of course, can have moth
ing to do in the treaty of annexation, but it is
highly probable that whatever faction shall at
the time hold sway over the bOisterous elements
of the Mexican confederacy, the necessity for
money to sustain itself in power will compel rea-
dy acquieseence in that demand, which is just OF
itself outside of any other consideration.
The completion of Lieut.. Beale's wagon road
the thirty-ffth parallel will inevitably throw
a large population into that State in any event.
and then the fields and towns, the vineyards and
mines of silver and gold there which have been
almost deserted for a century and half, will
again TEEN with life and vigor So, too, if 1t re-
mains in the power Of the Mexican eonfederacy.
