Troubles on the Texas Frontier.

The raid of the Mexican Guerrilla Chief,
Cortinas, upon the frontier of Texas, with
his one thousand men, is possibly pregnant
with serious consequences 1t is but the pre
lude TO the dismemberment of the Mexican
Empire, unless, indeed, the forays of Cortinas
be suddenly ended. The besieging of Bro wns.
vile, the slaughter of American citizens, the
plundering of houses and ranches, and the
general system of robbery and murder set in
motion by this Mexican leader, will arouse
all the animosties of Americans towards the
Mexican race, and will certainly. unless the
bandit chief is speedily disposed Of r-eeipi
tate n war between the two peoples, vi no
any formal declaration Of hostilities by either
of the two governments hatred, bitter
and deadly. already exists between the two
races. and it needs only "a spark to kindle the
combustible antagonisms existing into flame.
Besides the Unsuitable desire Of the Ameri-
can people to acquire land to plant the flag
of the Union in new territories, and to
spread the wings of the American eagle as
widely as possible, will not lose its opportu
nifty; and no better an opportunity than the
present promises to be, is likely to be r's-
sented. The longer that Cortnos continues
in his present course, the more viii his forces
increase, and it is easy to fcfesee that his
movements will finally portake OF a national
character.
Just such fellows as Cortinas are preparing
the way for the absorption by the United
States of the very best portions of Mexico.
War with Mexico must always end with the
cession to the United States Government Of
Mexican land. The people upon the frontiers
would like to pour into the provinces Of
Sonora or chihuahua or Coahuila, and it
would not take long to settle in either of
those States, as was done in Texas, a popula-
ton which would raise the flag of a success
ful revolution. Either ly conquest or revo-
luton, the acquisition of Mexican territory is
certain to be the result Of disturbances, of
long continuance, upon the frontiers of the
two countries
The policy of the administration in remov
ing the military force stationed at Browns
vile, so as to leave the frontier unprotected
in the manner that it has been, and subject
to the invasions of such scoundrels as Cor
tinas is not to be explained with any credit
to the President and his advisers, upon any
other hypothesis than that they supposed |
that depredations would be committed, blood |
be split, war ensue, and Sonora or some other
province be annexed by conquest to the Uni
ted States. 1t is rathera cold policy, it is true,
to leave American citizens to the merciless-
ness of this kind of butchery but, unless
some such reason as above given was the |
governing motive of the policy, we are at a |
loss to see what was the sagacity of the |
The citizens remonstrated-beg

tected-with what result, let the ashes of

RELIGION OF THE JAPANEsE.-The following
is from the Bulletins report of lecture de-
livered in San Francisco 10y the Rev. j. r.
Gobal, now on his way to Japan as a mis-
sionary;
The japanese have among them many re-
! ligiOns. but no government religion In this
! respect, the Governm, MT is very liberal, and
some thirty different sects exist, each having
its own peculiar form of worship One sect.
the lecturer remarked, had many character
istics Of the Christians belief and of Bible
teachings. They are called Sinehoos, (wor-
shppers) and, while believing in Triunr
God, have many supersttions. They be
ieve in transmig gration-that all existence
commences in inanimate matter, rising into
conscious, intellectual and spiritual existence
towards death, and their creed, altogether.
embraces a sort of Univ arsalism by which
every one will finally reach heaven but the
wicked have to pass through many transmit
grations before they are fitted for The blessed
abode, and before they can reach supreme
happiness They have also a means of sal
vation by self sacriices--by impalng them
! selves, in atonement for their sins. The lee
turer had witnessed portion of this cere-
mony, when some twenty japanese, dressed
in white, and uttering their penitence, pro-
ceeded to the top of mountain and cast
themselves headlong over precipice, up the
face of which they had climbed by means of
iron pins fastened to the solid rock in such
manner as to enable them to make the ascent
There is also another mode by which, in
their belief, they will attain eternal life, and
| that is 10y assembling on board innk, and
after getting out to sea, while engaged in
| their devoions, the vessel is scuttled, and
they go down uttrring cries of Joy. These
saeratices are regarded as necessary to rclieve {
both the victims and their friends from the
disgrace attached to whatever crimes the
I penitents were guilty Of, or for which they
may have been condemned by the laws and
are always Immediately preceded 10y bathing
in the sea. They have a superstition too.
that demon dwells in the storm cloud, and
upon the approach Of storm, they 90 out
with arms and make every hostile tcmonstra-
ton possible in order to drive it away. Their
supposed victories over this storm.hend are
commemorated by paintings of the monster,
filled with arrows and darts, fleeing before
the hostile array. Yet another of their be
liefs is, that they are descendants of God;
that at one time thoy inhabited the sun, and
by reason OF this they consider themselves
superior to the human race, being themselves
gods

since, to Richmond Hill, Plumas county. in

in the following mapne; He was standing

ADULTERATED LIoUoRs-In the Court of
Common Pleas of Lancaster county, Penn,
suit was lately brought by liquor dealers,
against a hotel keeper in Lancaster, for the
recovery of a claim of forty-six dollars, for
barrel of "old rye whiskey." The defense
says the Philadelphia Press, was, that the
liquor did not correspond with the sample by
which it was sold, and in fact that it con.
tained corrosive or poisonous substances
The latter point appears to have been estab-
hshed by chemical tests, to which the liquor
was subjected in the presence of the court
jury, by the counsel for the defense. The
verdict of the jury was in favor of the de-
fendant, allowing the plaintiff nothing for
his whiskey.
