LATER PROM NORTHERN MEXICO Terrible
DepredGtions by indians, Murders, Robberies,
and I'asurrectsons. 81 Restaurador gives dread
full accounts of depredations committed by
the Indians in Nuvo Leon and Coahuila.
Several families on the Northern borders of
those States have been murdered, and a great
number of ranches have been thoroughly
stripped of everything in the way of stock
and produce. Five men and three women
were going from San Nicholas to Parras, with
horses and cattle, who were attacked and
murdered. Another party. with carts, going
to Mapimi, met the came fate while crossing
the Meas river. A regiment, under COM
mand of ID. Manuel Mendez, is in pursuit Of
this gang Of sayages.
All the papers Of Zacatecas, Chihuahua
and Durango, contain appalling accounts of
the destruction of property and lives, by tho
Indians in those States A force Of over 1000
herse sihemen have been organized, and it is
thought the savages will be queled. The
Legislature Of Zacatecas had appropriated
100000 for the purpose Of aiding in raising
troops and paying the expense Of campaign
going through the frontier portions Of the
State.
The Hcraldo states that Mejia, notorious
chief, Ut the head Of 46O men, captured Que :
retaro, and, in the name Of the defenders Of
religion. delivered It up to pillage, after
which he consented for sum Of money to be

into great disorder by the appearance on the
stand of the telegraph operator. with the dispatch
from Ksnzas announcing the adoption of the pro-
slavery constitution They would not allow it to
be read, but the substance Of it leaked out among
the crowd. and it proved a serious damper to the
enthusiasm of the meeting, which began immedi-
ately to disperse, and when the last speaker fn-
ished, there were not over sixty persons on the
ground. An adjournment was then taken without
any vote on the resolutions. The only enthus-
asm that was exhibited was in the cheering for
Douglas, which was loud and hearty. As the
meeting was got upsespecially to counteract the
effect of Douglass visit to Philadelphia, the re-
suit is not very gratifying to the supporters of the

EXHIBITION AT THE HIGH ScHooL-The an.
nual rhetorical exhibition of the Worcester High
School occurred yesterday afternoon. The exhi.
bition commenced with defamation of an ex-
tract from Clay's speech on the Expunging Res
olution. by Henry A. Harding. The following
individuals also delivered declamations: E.W.
Adams, poetcal version in nautical phrase Of
the course of 1.-The Comet;" Henry OReilly,
Wares "Macer's speech on the steps of the Cap
itsl at Rome; !" John K. Tiffany, an extract from
Virgil's Knead; fl. B. Hammond, an extract from
Everett's Grafton at Albany, at the celebration
of the founding Of the Astronomical Observatory.
Compositions were read by Miss F. Adams, Miss
Emma F, Taft, Miss Hattie Hazeltine, and Miss
Sarah Moore. Selections of poetry were read BY
Miss Mary Lowell, Miss R. Maria Barbour. The
question, "Are the heather irretrievably degraded
and lost" was discussed in the affirmative by G.
Walter Allen, in the negsIgs by d. Henry Cham
berlain. This was not a discussion trumped up
for the secession but merely the repetition of an
old exercise, it being the practice of the Prin-
cipal to give out questions as subjects of compo-
stions and of the scholars to write on either side,
and to coramit their arguments and deliver them
as declamations before the school,
The final exercise was colloquy in which sew
eral scholars took part, entitled A Day in
Athens" portraying incidents in the life Of Soc
rates. The individuals participating, performed
their several parts with great truthfulness and
credit to themselves. The individuals who filled
the crowded school'room were several times fa-
vored with excellent music, vocal and instrument
tai, by Miss r. Maria Barbour.
After the exercises on the part of the pupils
completed, remarks were made by Rev. DR..
Hill Elbrdge g. Smith, the first principal of the
Free Academy, Norwich, VIM. E. Starr, former
ly teacher in the English Department, Rev. DR..
Sweetser, and Rev. 7. W. Higginson.
Notwithstanding the nclemency of the wealth,
er and the almost impossible condition of the
sidewalks, the large room was filled to overflow.
ing, and many were unable to obtain admittance
The community have always manifested a great
interest in these exhibitions, and it is very de-
sirable that they should be held in some place
commodious enough to accommodate those who
assemble, and many have expressed desire that
this exhibition may be repeated i'll one of the
halls of the city.

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN THE SCHOOL,
On this point, Mr.. Stowe, a celebrated Glas-
gov teacher, Uses the following language -
1.-The youth Of both sexes of our Scottish
peasantry, have been educated together and
all in all, the Scotch are the most moral people
on the earth, Education i'll England is given
separately, and we never have heard from
practical men that any benefit has arisen from
this arrangement Some influential individ-
uals there mourn over the prejudice on this
point. In Dublin, u larger number of girls
turned out badly, who had been educated
alone until they attained the age OF maturity,
than of those who were otherwise brought
up. The separation of the sexes has thus been
found to be injurious. 1t is stated, on the
best authority, that of those girls educated in
the schools of converts, apart from boys, the
greater majority go wrong within a month
after being let loose in society and meeting
N$he other SEX. They cannot, it is said, resist
tEe<> slightest compliment or aattery. The
separation is intended to keep them strictly
moral but this unnatural seclusion actually
generates the very principles desired to be
avoided. Wemay repeat, that it is impossi-
BILE to raise the girls as high, intellectually,
without boys as with them, and it is impossi-
Bile to raise boys morally as hiigh without girls.
The girls morally elevate the boys, and the
boys intellectually elevate the girls. But,
more than this, girls themselves are morally
elevated by the presence Of boys, and boys are
intellectually elevated by the presence of
girls. Girls brought up with boys are M ore
positively moral, and boys brought up in
schools with the girls, are more positively in
tellectua by the softenining influence Of the
female character. In the Normal SEMINARY
at Glasgow, the most beneficial effects have
resulted from the most natural course Boys
and girls, from the age of two or three years
to that OF fourteen or fifteen, have beer trained
In the same class room, gallerirs, fnd play
grounds, without impropriety; and1hey are
never separated, except at needlework. -

TINES IN THE WRsr.-A gentleman who
has spent the last two months in the West,
writes from Illinois in terms by no means en-
couraging. He says that grain is plenty, but
il no demand. Wheat at forty cents, and
corn at twenty cents bushel, have no buy

to pay their debts. and almost every day some
ibody's farm is put under the sheriff s ham

WASHINGTON, Dec. Silt has been ascer-
tained that before Gen. Walker left Central
America he sent orders to Col Anderson to
remain in possession of Fort Castillo as long

These gentlemen, however, it should be un-

The FLAG OF TRUcE.-There have been signs
for some days past that the administration was
contemplating the bitter necessity of surrender
to Douglas. The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Post, who appears to know what is
going on at the White House, breaks the fact to
the democracy in the following gentle and careful
manner:
AFTER tomorrow intelligence of the results
of the Kansas election will be anxiously looked
for. If from this it shall appear that the people
OF the territory are strenuous in their opposition
to the Lecompton on,-although the
votes thrown against it under the Stanton pro-
gramme will not be othertoise recognized,--it is
believed that the president is not tndiSposedto to re-
tract the preferences expressed in his message,

Mr.. Denver arrived here last week, and will
enter upon the discharge of his official duties to-
day. The people seem avery much prejudiced
against him because he comes here at this time
to supercede MIR. Stanton. From what | can

CoMMopoRE PAULpINo. Hiram Paulding
comes honestly by his skill in arresting un-
lawful expeditions. His father was that cell
ebrated John Paulding, the Peekskill farmer,
who was one Of the three captors Of Major
Andre. Hiram was born in Westchester
county, and carly in life entered the navy,
where he has gradually worked his way up
through the grades Of midshipman, leuten-
ant. commander, and captain. He has ever
been one Of the most efficient and valued Of
ticers in the army; and the government a
sort time since showed its appreciation Of
the fact, by appointing him to the command
OF the home squadron, which he now holds.
