The New Orleans True Delta of the 7th instant
contains an extract from letter written BY Judge
McAlpin. dated ManzaniIlo. July Q, in which no
expresses his confidence that the liberal or federal
party will succeed in Mexico. In the desperate
battle on the I'd July, near Coiima, the federal
troops lost but few men. while the church 'orces
had eight hundred killed and three hundred desert
ed in body. At Colima were accumulated from
the neighboring mines two millions Of silver bud-

troubled state Of the country.

wAsuIsGros, August IL, Is

WASHINGTON, August IL, 1858.
The Commissioner of the General Land Office has
replied to an nquiry respecting the right aud extent
Of the indemnity selections allowed 10 Alabama by
The railroad grant to that State by the act Of June
g. 1856 to aid in the construction Of the Girard and
Mobile railroad &C., where the sections within the
Blk miles limit had been previously disposed Of by
the United States. The principle hereinafter de-
cIared Is of general application. The Commissioner
states that the indemnity sections must be taken be-
tween the six and fifteen miles limits in alternate
sections nearest to the tiers Of sections granted in
place" No selection can be made by skipping any
vacant tract II nearest the section in place; but IL IL
should happen that there are no vacant lands Cor
the indemnity near at hand, the selection may ad
vance until Is reaches the terminus and from the
portion nearest and if Il should be necessary the
whole Of the alternstes between the six and fifteen
mile limits, to satisfy the deficiency on account Of
the sale of the sections in place il may be done on
the terms hereinbefore indicated.
Referring 10 the fourth section Of the said act OF
june 3, 1856 making the railroad grant, which pre-
ecribes the terms upon which the State may sell one
hundred and twenty sections from time 10 time, the
Commissioner states that the Land Oflice takes no
heed of what the State may do in that respect, so
far a. the action Of the Office is concerned in making
out lists Of selections aud certifying the samethat
being a condition of which the State must take
cognizance itself, 30 as to avoid making sales not
warranted by law. All that the Land Office has TO
do ia to certify the selections lawfully made leaving
the State itself 20 fulfil all conditions the grant has
imposed upon H. saving the vendors from being re.
epients Of invalid titles.

This afternoon heavy showers of rain have fallen
and more threaten to follow, cooling the burning

undergoing fumigation and returning to the city.

rows with but an i'll grace after having been kept in
