RUMoRED MURDERS AND BACKING OF TOWNS
 A correspondent of the N York Herald writes from Omaha city, N. T., under date of May l3, as follows:
 Some sixty miles westward from here, at the ferry crossing of the Platte, the proprietor of the ferry has forsaken his boat, leaving it in the hands of the infuriated mob. He reports about 700 or 800 disappointed ones there awaiting the arrival of more of the return emigrants, and then to decide upon some course of action Liquor is plenty and beligerent sgirits at fever heat Two graves had been dug, one for Sam Curtis, gentleman who had figured conspicu- ously as correspondent from the mines, and the other for some person of the same ink Certain death waa threatened the aforesaid Curtis, and scouts were reported wrtching for him. Death was promised an acquaintance of his, also. Both were on the road en route for the mines, and, through friends, they were in- formed of the threats of these lawless despera- does, and they have disappeared
 fearful state affairs is reported toexist all along the route to the mines thousands retur- ming, threatening fire and plunder to the towns Oh the river as soon as sufficient force could be rallied. Trouble is anticipated and where or how it will end I know not. A Mir. Allen, who wrote some favorable letters is reported murdered near Fort Keary and others. The press intended for the Rocky Mountain News, is reported to have been pitched into the Platte river, and the editor, MT. Byers, had left to avoid the mob

LORD JOHN RUSSELL ON WASHINGTON. first volume of the Life and Times of Charles J. Fox" by Lord John Russell, has just ap- peared in England The following is his Lord ships tribute to George Washington:
 Before taking leave of the American War, few words may be allowed on topic where there can be no difference of opinion. George Wash ington, without the genius of Julius Casar or Napoleon Bonaparte, has g far purer fame, as his ambition was of higher and holier nature. Instead of seeking to raise his own name, or seize supreme power he devoted his whole tall ents, military and civil, to the establishment of 4he independence and perpetuity of the liberties of his own country. In modern history no man has done such great things without the soil of selfshness, or the stain of grovelling ambition. Cesar Cromwell Napoleon, attained a higher elevation, but the love of dominion was the spur that drove them on. John Hampden, William Russel, Algernon Sydney, may have had mo- tives as pure and an ambition as unstained, but they fell. To George Washington, nearly alone in modern times, has it been given to accom- plsh wonderful revolution, and yet to remain to all future times, the theme of a peoples gra- titude, and an example ofvirtuous and benif- cent power.

Caloric Engines.

S Ericsson's caloric engine is fast coming into general use. The editor of the Cincinnati Press describing the one used in his office, says:
 - Size (diameter) of cylinder, twenty-four in- .ches power of engine, five horse; motive power, Lot air; weight of engine, one and half tons; composed entirely of iron and brass; space oc- oupied, six feet by two; fuel, coa coke or wood; usual number of impressions per hour, -3,50O; often run off full 4,O0Oj cost of fuel per jour, one cent.
 Of the same engines, the Pittsburg Gazette aays:
 For canal navigation the Ericsson engine is admirably adapted, and must supplant steam. In the printing-oflice it is the thing wanted Flo propel pumps it is admirably adapted Mr Staats M. Mead employs one in his store, in Pearl street, to work his hoisting apparatus and 1t does the business for three buildings to per feet satisfaction. Its employment on the city railroads, in place of horses, is contemplated Capt. Roberts, of the ship Underwater, has en- gagged one to be put in his vessel to hoist in and out freight When she leaves port, the hoisting apparatus will be detached, and the engine em- ployed to work the pumps; for which purpose,
 in case of fire or a leak, 1t will be invaluable.
 The size of the cylinders now constructed ranges from eight to thirty-two inches in diam eter The cost of an engine is about the same as that of the steam engine; but once in opera ton, the expenses of using it is trihing. Re quiring no engineer, and little fuel, to keep up horsepower varying from two to sixteen, it will meet the wants of establishments that cannot afford steam-power. The absence of danger from explosions, etc., is an important consider sation. According to present appearances, it Twill not be many years before caloric engines i-FAlhe an appendage to every establishment carrying on manufacturing business.

the purpose for which it was destined It was

the purpose for which it was destined. It was made five years ago, for the war in the Crmea, and started on its journey as far as Marseilles, but the Empnror changed his mind then, and the tent has lain ever since in the flag room of the Tuilleries But, what is curious, the iron bed now in this tent the toilet furniture and the table service in silver belonged to the first Elm peror, and accompanied him in nearly all his campaigns; and as these campaigns were so many victories, Louis Napoleon is going to throw himself upon the destiny of these victorious wash-basins and saucepans, He hopes, on the fields of Marengo and Lodi, to sleep upon, and draw inspiration from, the same bed on which dreamed and schemed his great uncle, and on which he planned the great battles that have made the name of Bonaparte so ilIustrious.- As superstition, there are more absurd ones than this of Louis Napoleon

AFFAIRS IN MExIco.-The Vera Cruz corres- pondent of the New York Herald thus sets forth the condition of things in Mexico:
 The fury of the Church of Mexico has been let loose, and the horrors of the Inquisition and the merciless war of the Colonial Generals against the first patriots of the Mexican revolu- ton are hourly re-enacted. We all Chat is foreigners) live in fear, for no one can say when his hour of assassination may not come We have seen in the past few days such scenes of barbarous assassination that we tremble to hear who shall not be the next victim of fiendish fa- naticism The natural sensibilities of the hu- man beings have been stulifed by the barbara ties of the church and army clique of this cap ital They have shot in cold blood, without judge jury, or even drum head court martial, over seventy-fve persons (some say over one hundred, most of whom were quiet and inof- fensive citizens and foreign residents in Mex leo. Our alarm is intensified the more by the fact that the French Minister encourages these bloodthirsty acts, and the British Minister, overruled by his wife, does not raise the voice ofa civilized nation, which he represents, against these atrocities, unequaled by the seapoys.- But it may perhaps be better first to enlighten you as to the cause of all this, before I speak more of our deplorable position.

ARMY ORDERs.-The War Department has issued general orders with view to the better instruction of the artillery:
 At each artillery station there will be estab- lished thorough system of instruction, theoret- ical and practical, in the more essential ele- ments of artillery service The Instruction for Field Artillery" established by the War De- partment; the Instruction for Heavy Artil- lery" established by the War Department; the Ordinance Manual" the Aide Memoire d'Ar- tillere" of the French, are designed for the pre- sent for theoretical instructions and every officer will be required to have copy, There will be for the present, and until it shall be made to appear, to the War Department that certain proficiency has been attained, at least two days week of recitation on the text books by the officers, and one day week for laboratory duty. The commanding officer will, himself, conduct the recitations, or designate some suitable off cer for that duty under bis supervision, as we'll as to have charge of the laboratory. The in- struction on drill will be for at least four days in the week when practicable. The practical instruction at the Notifications will be habitual, each company under its own officers, and under the direction of the commanding officer.

Among the victims destined to the recent sacrifice at Tacubaya, Mexico, was one Copn Arrodillado, whose bold and successful leap for his life is worthy of record. Col Arrodillado, as the New Orleans Picayune is informed by one who had it from an eyewitness, was already in the hands of the assassins, who, drawn up in a lne were about directing their pieces at him, when he cried aloud, so as to be heard not only by the bystanders, but by others at distance, [" Hold hold there, 0 moment; l have mes sage, a revelation for the General-in- Chiefl'-- The tone of voice in which this announcement was made seemed so earnest and so sincere that it made instant impression upon the off cers in command, who at once suspended the execution. No sooner however were the guns lowered than the bold man, his limbs now free, leaped from the midst of the crowd, cleared a slight inclosure, knocked down two soldiers in his way, plunged into deep ravine, and, not withstanding several hasty, random shots from the party he so unceremoniousy left, made good his escape with his life.

THE FRENCH EMPERoR's CAMP TENT AND BEDsrEAD -Malakoff writes to the New York Times: The camp tent of the Emperor Napo- leon, which preceded him to Italy, was made by Alexis Godillot, and is in white and blue striped tent cloth, doubled. It's height is about fifteen feet The interior is divided into three com partments-a saloon, bedroom and dressing room. Doors in the cloth permit passage from one room to the other, and windows are pierced for ventilation. An iron bed, folding seats and three small tables-one for the toilet, compose the furniture for the Imperial resi- dence. The tent is remarkable for its perfect finish, the facility with,which it can be put up and taken down, and its general adaptation to

French Army crossing Mount Cenis.


 A correspondent of the London Times thus speaks of the march of the French army to- wards Austria:
 On the evening of the 26th I crossed Mount Cenis, where there were reports of the slaugh- ter, the previous eyening, of large portion of the Sardinian army by the Austrians, and of the rapid advance of the latter upon Turin These reports were contradicted when reached Susa, on the morning of the 27; indeed, it ap pearsd to be generally doubted whether the Apgtrars had as yet crossed the Ticino in any force. found at that town the advance guard os ha French army-some two thousand men consisting Of Chasseurs de Vinsennes, and in- fantry of the ine-ready to be pushed on by rail to Turin. Tickets were also issued ts passen- gers for the six o'clock evening train. The same day, as I crossed Mount Cenis, met two battalions of infantry; and again, on the 28th passed, at different stages of the route, be- tween Landiesborg on the Savoy side of the mountains, and Culos on the French frontier, not less than l7, GOO troops, including three reg iments of light and one of heavy cavalry, a large body of Chasseurs and sixteen brass field pieces; three regiments of infantry were march ing rapidly along the line of rail, within few miles of each other, while others were being conveyed in the train. was struck with the disproportion both of cavalry and artillery to the whole of the aforementioned force-as the road from St Jean Maurienne, where the railway terminates, to the foot of the Cenis Pass, is ex- cellent 60,O00 is said to be the number of troops about to be transported along this route.
 The guns were all rifed quite new, and very light, drawn by four horses, which appeared to my eye to want little more blood. The cavalry were we'll mounted, and the infantry had every appearance of being admirably efficient, both in discipline and conditlon--active sturdy little fellows. Although only on the outset of a cam paign, every man looked as if he had passed every hour of his existence in the 6eld-hardy, skilful and selfrelyiAg. The truth of the mat ter is, that scarcely day passes in the garrison that the French soldier is not compelled to fence or to go through the bayonet exercise with his comrades, and his eye is quickened, his limbs strengthened, and he has become thorough master ofshis weapon. Why should we allow the Frenchman such an advantage over our own soldier in the use of the bayonet which We have always eXcelled in? May we not have to regret the neglect of this ktnd of train ing, spite of the bulldog courage and naturally excellent stamina of the English infantry ?- Who could doubt the havoc that would be caused by handful of trained pugilists in a melee although opposed to unarmed men of any cal fibre Might it not be to certain extent the same with the bayonet? Could it not be pos sible to introduce into the English army some instruction and place of exercise, corresponding to the French regimental "Salle dArmes," and by this means accomplish the double aim o1 improving the efficiency and occupying the idle time of our soldiers2

THE COMMERCE OF THE PLAINs-The Mexi- can trains and traders are arriving daily with gold, silver, furs, pelts, wool, and other desira- ble articles. At Bernard & Co.'s we see pile of silver rocks, cakes, dornicks, or whatever you may call them, averaging from an ounce to five pounds each in weight At the same place we see sight that almost makes one feel like stealing. It is a pile of pure gold, (from Mexi- can mines, not from Pikes Peak, as large as an apple-dumpling, weighing l68 ounces, 4 penny weights, IT grains, and worth two thousand one hundred and sixty-four dollars and fifty cents It was brought by Senor Nepomoseno Ancheta and paid to Barnard & Go. for goods.
