which has arrived at New York from Aspin.

in gold. Advices from Victoria state that thu
gold mines of Vancouver were yielding SO large.
ly that parties were leaving Victoria for that
locality. A battle was fought in Chilli on the
29lh of April, between the government troops,
under Gen. Vidaurri, and the Revolutionists,
under General Gallo. The latter was defeated
and fed, having lost 1000 killed. This battle
ended the revolution.

The Future of Mexico.

The report from Washington is that the Ad-
ministration have made up their minds that in
regard to Mexico, as things stand, nothing can
be done until the meeting of Congress next
winter. Our vessels of war, in the meantime,
will show their flags at Vera Cruz, Tampico,
and other places on the seaboard but for the
protection of American lives and American in
terests in the interior, nothing is 10 be done
because nothing can be done.
Nearly six months must elapse before Con-
gress assemblies, and in the interim it is impos.
sibie TO foresee, or to predict, what change may
take Place in the condition and prospects of our
sick neighbor, the very law of whose being
would seem to be change, and nothing but
change. The New York Express says: AS
suming, however, that no matter whether Jua-
rez, Zuloaga, Mlramon, or Santa Anna is up
permost, the general situation will be none the
less anarchical than it is to-day,-.t will be the
duty of Congress to address itself at once to a
consideration Of the means whereby this per-
picking Mexican problem may be honorably
solved. They will find the President, we
doubt not, ready to cooperate with them in
any measures the exigencies may seem to de-
mand. Mr.. Buchanan is understood 10 be pref
ty we'll lDorried out on the subject, and in that
frame of mind his disposition will be to follow
wherever the assembled wisdom of the nation
may lead, rather than to seek TO urge upon
them any particular scheme of his ewn, which

The Convention to Regulate the Color

This body met in Baltimore on "Wednesday

Chambers presided The session continsed
throughout Wednesday and Thursday, and ad-
iourned sine die on Thursday evening. A great
variety of opinion, as was to have been expec-
ted. was represented in the convention, but the
proceedings were harmonious. Hon. James a.
Pearce, chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tions, submitted report FROM that committee.
concluding with resolutions that the removal
of the free negroes beyond the State. was mex,
pedent and impolitIc, that they should be placed
under such regulations as would make them
useful; that to avoid the evils resulting from
the increase of free negroes, the policy OF the

ancipation prohibited or the prompt removal oil
manumitted slaves be provided for; that legls-
lative aid be invoked TO carry out these views,
and that a committee be appointed 10 solicit ac'
ton on the part of the General Assembly. The
report and resolutions of the committee were
adopted, previous TO which Col. Jacobs, of Wor'
cesier, presented minority report and resolu
tious, contemplating more stringent measures
but they failed to elicit the favor of the con
vention. Several substitutes were also otfere'

Destructionists.

Some of our farmers are being considerably
troubled with the invasions Of the Army Worm,
which have made their appearance in certain
localities hercabouts in myriads. Lots of
wheat belonging to Mr.. Jas. X. Clements and
DR.. WIN. Cummins, north Of the town, have
been stripped of every blade--the beard, and
also many heads of the younger and more ten
growing scarce in their present quarters, they
are taking to the surrounding corn lots. They
march in solid phalanx, blackening the earth
by their number, making total destruction as
they move along; and the only way to impede
their progress seems to be that ofcutting bitches
in their line of march so straight and smooth
at the sides that they cannot scale the wallis
These worms eat voraciously and necessarily
while they exist, and when they do make their
exit it takes but few hours, the whole army,
i is said, going into the ground. Such was the
case with those on the farm of Mr.. Jonathan
Stevenson, two miles north of Smyrna. After
destroying lot of rye, they made for his corn
field and destroyed seven or eight acres before
uC uIoSOfGtCu thSlA VI ldNtiSS' a ui'SH
was dug in their advance that evening with
the prospect of long battle the next day. but
in the morning they had disappeared, and he
was thus speedily rid Of his troublesome en9-
mics. They prefer wheat or rye, timothy and
corn, rarely attacking anything else. In ap-
peara:ce they are very like the cut-worm.-
Fortunately the wheat was too near maturity
when they appeared in it, to receive much in-
jury. We hear of the in different sections of
this State, and in our Maryland exchanges we
see much complaint of them.
In addition to the army worm there are other
destructionists among among the crops, such as
fly, weavll, grub-worm, &c.-great pests to the
farmers, but such as they have to encounter
every year.

Was il IIydrOphObia

On Friday last, a COW belonging to Mr..
Tilghman Foxwell, exhibited very strange ac-
tions-belIowing running at everything within
her reach, &c.-conveying to those who saw
her the impression that she was mad; aud this
idea spreading rapidly soon drew together
large crowd to witness her antics. After some
effort she was secured 10 a tree, where she re-
mained until Monday, when, finding all efforts
10 restore her unavailing, she was killed out OF
her misery. After Friday evening she was do.
clle, but refused every nourishment offered ex.
cept water, asd never arose from the place
where she fell on that evening. On Saturday

dog supposed to be mad being killed in this
town, about three weeks since. 1t is known
that Mark" was bitten by this dog, and
though he and the COW exhibited signs of mad
ness, yet they lacked many of the real charOc-
teristics of lily drophobla. There is a wide dit

Frauds ON the Post Office Reveaue,

On tne tOSt OuCC hcfcuuCf
The Post Office Department fear that coun-
terfeit stamps are issued to an immense extent
either by renewing them from engraved or pho
tographed plates. and by using those from waste
paper collections, and by means of an acid wash
off the Post Office stamp that was put on them
when they passed through the office. There is
no means of guarding against the first. named
evil. The manufacture is so simple that one
man can produce thousands of sheets. The
stamps are now entrusted to $4,000 Post Mas.
ters, and no check can be kept upon them, for
there is no possibility of fascertaining how many
stamps are in the hands of the people. Letters
from the defaced stamps on them pass again
into the hands of the people, the department
can form no positive idea to what extent the
fraudulent stamps are used. The same diff
Guilty attends the rewashed stamps, but they
are supposed to be used to lesser extent than
the counterfeits, on account of the greater fa.
ciitles for selling the latter. Efforts have been
made, both in this country and England, where
the same difficulty is encountered, TO obtain an
lndellible inL for the purpose Of defaciEg the
nsed stamps, but without SUCCESS. The Post
Office Department think these frauds are con.
nected with the deficiency in its revenues
The only possible manner of doing it seems to
be to abolish entirely the use of postage stamps,
and resort to prepayment by the use of stamp
ed envelopes, which should be guarded in their
by water marks in the paper.
