The Free Zone orthe Bravo.

We are indebted to the kindness of "A friend,
resident in Monterey, for the latest papers
and valuable public documents, throwing
much light on the actual condition and pros
poets of Northern Mexico. In eli, ct, an in-
dependent republic already exists west of
the Bravo, and we may N well recognize the
fact. The daring, far-sighted Vidaurri issues
his orders and proclamations in the name of
the free and sovereign States of Coahuila
and New Leon" and their neighbor, Tamau-
lipas, is, in like manner, acting upon n self
sustaining basis of national independence.
These states, of which Monterey il the
natural capital, are now acting In concert,
under the direction of their Governors, Cara
and Vidaurri in all respects as q distant ma
ton, separated irrevocably from Mexico. All
the ports of the Rio Bravo, the nayigable line
of division between those States and Texas,
have been declared free and open, aud are not
subject to the laws of Mexico.
A convocation of the delegates ofthe States
north of the Sierra Madre, ut Monterey or
Saltillo, and the formal announcement TO the
world of the actual statue Of the new Repub-
lie. Is about all that remains 10 be done; for
practically, ii Is already In full action as an
independent nation. IL connot command the
means 10 consolidate peaceful independence
until IL Is recognized by other nations, and
esn cially by the United States. as the free and
distinct power it really is; but IL Is 80 clearly

Ari,hmetieaI Progression.

While engaged in the tobacco and cigar
business, | used to have Tor a customer in
cheap cigars. one of those knowing fellows
. whose knowledge serves better to bore his
( victims than advance science. You could not
make him believe that-Oh, no! Tell him there
were regalia cigars that cost forty dollars per
thousand it might do to stuff down the
throat of one of them that knew no better;
he was none of them. And so it was with
everything, he always knew best. 1t always
appeared to be his delight to draw me into
some controversy, no matter what the subject
was, to hear himself drawn forth. l tried
every way | could think of TO circumvent
him. and at length succeeded in laying him
out rs fiat as a founder. 1t was Saturday af-
ternoon, he came in, made his usual purchase,
and seated himself to deal out his usual por-
ton; but / was awake for him.
Captain said /, Il have made up my
mind to go to California, and if you wish to
go into speculation, now is your time"
''As how" said he.
s.Why, you see these eighteen boxes of CT
gars, well, there are two hundred and fifty in
each box. and l will let you have the whole
eighteen at a low rate, providing you take
them all"
Every WE'LL" said my friend, ''let us hear
the conditions"
'You give me one cent for the first box,
two cents for the second, four cents for the
third, aud so on, doubling on every box
"Done," said he /; "'fetch on your cigars.
Suppose you think | have mot got money
enough-eh!'
Not at ALL so let us proceed. Here's your
first box"
He drew from his pocket leathern purse
and out OF it handful Of coin.
And here's your cent" said he, deposit
ing green diseolored copper on the counter.
Here is your second box"
"Here is your two cents"
''Very well, here is your third box"
"And here is your four cents" said he,
chuckling.
Here is your fourth box"

fellow.

Here Is your ninth box-

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN-A Podical Som
nam5utia.-A young lady named Susan K.
Brown, a daughter of Philip G. Brown ESQ.
a retired merchant of this city, residing on
Fifth Avenue, near Twenty-eighth street, has
of late been, and is most singular and
extraordinary somnambulist. Almost every
night after she has fallen asleep, she gets up,
lights the gas, and taking paper and pencil
writes several stanzas of poetry. Mr.. Brown,
one night last week, fearing that some acct
dent might occur from a sleeping person
having light, took the precaution to have
the fixtures removed from her room, and pla-
ced beyond her reach
That night she arose in perfect darkness.
wrote another piece of poetry, which, upon
examination by daylight, was found to be
well-written, correctly spelled and punctua-
ted, and the ruled lines as accurately followed
as they could have been by the best penman
with light, and this has been repeated al
mast every night, each time new piece being
produced She has no knowledge of the
matter herself, cannot repeat word of the
poetry she writes, and insists that she does
not write it. Her friends watch her closely.
Her health is not very good; since her SOM
nambulic exercise, she seems to gradually fail.
Physicians have attended her for some time,
but yet afford little relief.-Neto York Day

THE BALLOON AscENsIoN.-T balloon Gen
VIM. Walker, inflated with smoke, rose accor-
ding to advertisement yesterday evening,
from the Pavilion Garden, in Algiers. The
young lady who was to have accompanied the
intrepid uernaut (Wells) did not come to
time, and he was obliged to leave terra frma
alone. The huge wind-boat went up quite
rapidly for about thousand feet, and then
commenced descending in like ratio. AS the
admiring multitude discovered at glance the
awful situation of Mr.. Wells, falling like a
stone to the earth, every voice was hushed
and had a twenty-four FOUNDER been fired
in their midst it could have been heard dis
tinctly. A few seconds more, and the balloon
struck the earth-but, with great presence of
mind, Mr.. Wells jumped from it before the
conclusion. Relieved of his weight, the bal
loon rose again a few hundred feet, collapsed,
turned over, split in two, and finally fell to
the ground.
Mr. Wells had reason to be thankful for this,
as well as other lucky escapes. Let other
balloonists after this hide their diminished
heads.-N. o, Deltd.

SHARP TRADING BY THE CONFERENCE.-The
Independent (Mo) Messenger, informs us of
singular mode OF dealing practieed by the
Government In its contracts for supplies de-
iiyerable at Fort Leavenworth. Every per-
son who sells TO the Government Is required
to pay ten per cent. in cash ON the sale. That
Is, If farmer sells to the quartermaster 81 900
worth OF mules or beef. he (the farmer, not
the quartermaster) Is required 10 pay 500 In
cash, when he receives from the officer due
bill for sI,l00.

THE NASHVILLE PATMoT.-We must say,
without intending to derogate from our other
Nashville exchanges, that we have been every
day, during the late session of the Legislu-
ture, placed under renewed obligations to the
PATRIOT. 1t has reached us just one day in
advance of old fogy publications of the Capt.
tol.-Memphis Ledger.
Amidst the numerous complaints of irregu-
larities of the mails, it is consoling to learn
that the PATRIOT is carried to one point, at
least, in good time. We try to do our duty
in mailing all of our editions but the mails
are beyond our control.

RETREAT OF THE IRISH BRIGADE-The de-
feat of Mr.. Fremont was judged to be the hap
by overthrow of a hapless adventurer, who
was perfectly willing to try the experiment
playing sectional President at the probable
expense of the union of the States. We at
the North, who believe in all the great ideas
both memories and hopes-which cluster
around the Union rejoiced chiefly in the sue
cess, not of names, nor of persons, but of
principles, as nobly established in the triumph
of James Buchanan; we had no misgivings of
his fidelity to the doctrines which his election
embodied. But tie President has disappointed the
hopes of has friends. He has gone over to his
enemes-he has rent the democratic party in
twain. Extremes have met and the Administra-
ton, steering wildly, has missed Scylla, and
dashed upon Charybdis. We defeated the
sectional candidate, but we are cursed with a
sectional Administration first in our his
tory. 1t is encouraging to remmeber that it
was not a sectional Administration that was
