Two WEEKS LATER FROM TIE RIO GR,NDE.-
The steamship Gen. Rusk has arrived Mt New Or
leans with two weeks later dates from the Rio
Grande. 1t appears that the expected battle be-
tween the forces of Nidaurri and those Of Mi
ramon had not taken place ut last accounts.
Nidaurri had withdrawn his forces from San
Luis Potosi to tho hacienda of La Parada, near
the city. II is said that Mirnmon would not ac-
cert Nidaurri's offer of battle, and the latter now
wishes to draw Miramon into the city Of sun Luis,
where his defeat would be inevitable, The great
est scarcity Of provisions and forage is represented
to prevail in the city. which is almost deserted ly
its inhabitants. though the Liberal army is rccc,-
ing supplies and rcntorcements daily. They
are abundantly supplied with all the appliances
Iof war.
From the headquarters of Gov. CARA, we learn
that the troops being no longer needed before
TampicO, and having no enemy to encounter in
the State. 500 men have been detailed for Vera
Cruz. to be placed ut the orders of President Jua-
req who was forming an army, and had one area
dy quite formidable. The cavalry forces from
lTanlaulipas had been disbanded and are to return
to their homes This will account for the rumor
that General Carbajal was to retire from COM

Tho Comet and the Future.

The appearance Of the comet reminds mankind
Of an advancement in the mental condition Of our
race, that cannot fail to prove gratifying 70 the
present generation. when comparing things a. they
are. and contrasting them with things as they
were Ave hundred years ago. Then. the appari-
ton Of "a blazing star" would, in the popular
mind, have becn the precursor Of famines, earth
quakes, pestience. and war. -Nor, it is merely
regarded with the curiosity and admiration that
are engendercd by n superior knowledge and pro-
found thought. Could there be greater proof Of
the progressive knowledge and refinement Of the
age in which we live? But the anteeedentsof our
celestial visitant justify us in furnishing few
more details in relation to its present and future
