The TAKING OF MAzATLAN.-The Mazatan
correspondent of the National, writing on
the 9th, describes the taking of that place as
follows:
The attack was commenced about A A. NJ
Sunday morning, the Sd inst Two of the
lortS near the Garita were stormed and taken
az az Tue hrst onset, but owing to the delay of
1ne "t'aek'ng party at the port, no forther
progress was made until near daylight.
Aunl'ral Norton, chosen to take the
three southern forts, crossed the Estero about
o'eloch with rs men, in canoes ,ybere
20 men had formed in line and before the;r
companions had landed, they made a rnsh ~
the first fort, jumped the breastwork with
the loss of six men, and while the defeated
were retreating, discharged their own loaded
guns on them, and to use the Admirars own
words, "they run like h-ll."
A second small fortifcation was soon
stormed by the same party, " lille the attack
ing party were going bravely on at every
point OF the defences, and fort after fort had
been won, until all had been silenced except
tort annez, which was the last allotted to
Norton and his comrades. The rising sun
discovered to many an anxious spectator a
small band of about rs men crawling nm to-
wards the brow of the hin on which the fort
stood. Two men jumped to their feet, one
swung his arms in the air and fell mortallv
wounded, one moments hesitation, and the
small band sprung to their feet, and with
shout rushed on the entrenchments. Six of
the number fell but the glistening bayonets
Of the remainder as they jumped into the
fort, put an end to the strife. In viewing
the battle ground an hour or two after a
Mexican said to the writer: "Aluy volantie
Mejicanos, como los Norte Americanos"
Order was preserved; and scarcely if any
violence was committed. The soldiers were
SAID to have liberty to sack the Spanish con.
sulate, but made o mistake and attacked the
British.

tlan correspondent Of the Bulletin, writes as
follows, in regard to the dangers and Difficult.
ties of carrying letters in Mexieo
e In my first letter to you informed you
that, for over year before that date, We had
had no government mails from, or TO, Aca-
pulco; and for nearly the same length of
time the Manzanllo route had been closed to
us. In consequence of this state of things,
which still continues, private extraordinaries
are the only means of getting letters to the
Pacific. these, in many cases cost us as
high as So the single letter; and, for some
rich houses, ten or twenty times that amount.
An eXpress-rider, who has returned here af-
ter taking my letter of the 10th February to
Acapulco, reports that he found three of his
predecessors on the road-one in prison, one
hung, and the other tied up to post in front
of the door of old Alvarez, at La Providen-
cial These may be considered the standard
risks my letters run of being imprisoned,
hung, or tied up, before reaching you.

MARBLE ToMBsToNEs.-It is perhaps not
generally known that the marble from which
tombstones are Gu. in this part of the world.
is nearly all obtained from quarries in Yer
mont. Such is the fact; and yet we have
just as good marble within ten or fifteen
miles of most of our mountain towns. Our
attention was called to this matter Wednes-
day last, whilst examining the lettering cut
upon tombstone by our townsman, Mr. Jas.
tlnnie, who has done an extensive business
in this line and informs us that most of the
marble for such purposes is imported.-iSon

Know NoTHING1sM MovING.-The Boston
Journal gives currency to the rumor that
new American organization, upon a secret ba-
sis, is in the field in this state and is studying
for part in the next presidential campaign.
The platform says nothing on the slavery
question, and is opposed to the policy of the
present state administration. Further than
this its purposes have not been developed
"This Know Nothing party" said Mr. Choate
in 1855, to the young man who consulted him
as an oracle, sis the one for every young man
to join who has any hopes" GAS a matter of
policy" said he at another time, 81 would ad-
wise you to join this Know Nothing party"
1t is probably no more than the echo of Mr..
Choate's impracticable advice to that young
man, coming up from his grave to inspire a
few of the "orphans" who were left unprotect-
ed since the swift ruin of that organization
took place. The fact is that every man "who
has hopes will be extremely careful not to be
caught in any trap of that kind

How THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE" ARE
TREATED.-Everybody has heard of Tony
Weller's expedient in upsetting coach load
of voters in frog pond at the very moment
when they were needed to secure the election
of their partizan to Parliament. A Democrat
who was candidate for the Legislature OF
Wisconsin at the last election has removed a
portion of the polish from the Weller device.
On election day he is said to have hired fifty
three of the opposite party to work in lead
mine which he owned at Shullsburg. After
they were all one hundred and forty feet be-
low the surface, the ladder was drawn up to
have some ner rounds put in it, and be me-
elected to return it till the polls were closed
which resulted in his election by ffty-two ma
jority.

QUESTIONABLE NUTMEGs AND UNPRo.
DUcTIvE PUMPKIN SEEDs.-We always sup
posed the stories about wooden nutmegs.
wooden pumpkin.seeds and oats made of shoe
pegs were simply jests upon our Connecticut
friends, myths which are now only used as
material for the humorist. But the Richmond
Dispatch says that some of these ingenious ar
ticles have actually made their appearance at
the South. Richmond gentleman who
bought some pumpkn-seeds at the North dug
them up to find why they did not come up Of
themselves, and discovered to his chagrin that
they were made of wood. A lady also found
that she was favoring her desert with nut
meg made of resin. "All of piece" exclaims
the Dispatch, with the hollow philanthropy of
abolition"

DEcEAsE OF SLAVE PRoPaRTY IN ST.
LoUIs--Ten years ago the slave property in
st. Louis represented about one-twentieh of the
entire tdrd6Le property, real and personal, Of the
county. TO day 1t represents less than one-nine.
heth In l849 there were 1890 slaves, valued
at $l,O005 500, and the total valuation of proper
ty at that time was a fraction less than S2O,-
OOO,0OO-so that slave property was in the pro-
portion of one to twenty, compared with other
property, while this year the aggregate value
OF real and personal property is over $91 ,00O,.
600, or as ninety to one. These statistics are
taken from figures on file in the records of the
county. They may be relied upon as facts to
prove the certain absorption of the interests
OF slave owners in the more reliable and sub
stantial interests which belong to them as
manufacturers, merchants, and real estate
owners. A few years hence the value of slave
property will be a very insignificant item in
the millions upon our tax list, and in the ordi.
nation of the future it is certain to disappear
altogether. The progress of white labor is
running out that of the slave, and no human
agency can that progress now arrest st.

The CHARLESTON MERCURY says:-"Public
opinion at the South has unquestionably adj
vanced, with immense strides, in its views in
relation to the institution of slavery, regarded
as social, religious, and political institution
In every aspect it ~as, at one time not un-
common to find men at the south who looked
upon it as an evil. No man, who will avow
such an opinion now, will be tolerated in poll
tics or trusted in power Such a man is
among us, not of us. The south now regards
slavery as social, religious, and political
good-a purge to society, rich harvest for re
hgion, and the pillar Of the Republic
