A Blast OF war from the Gulf.

Our latest intelligence from Mexico is
freiehted with the smell Of gunpowder and
war. That Inflated country, which for years
has tottered over the abyss OF ruin, seems as
II about to fall Of her own exhaustion and
weakness. BY dispatches from New Or
leans, now fully confirmed, 1t is stated that
two Mexican sleamers-the "Biiramon" and
the Marquee" were captured by the Ameri.
can squadron in the Gulf on or about the
9th inst, and are now laying on New Or.
leans, prizes OF the United States. The
action commenced by the Mexicans firing
into an American boat dispatched by Com
modor Jarvis to demand the nationality OF
the Miramon, which was concealed. Three
Americans were wounded, one mortally.-
The Mexican loss is said to have been fif.
teen killed and thirty wounded. The en-
gagement is described ss spirited. The
particular circumstances in which this con.
fiict originated have not yet been detailed
They will doubtless appear In short time,
and we may be more capable ofjudging of the
merits OF the whole case. In the meantime
the war of the factions in Mexico continues
with undated violence. An important en-.
gagement was expected to take place at Vera
Cruz about the 18th inst, in front of which
Miramon had assembled well equipped
force OF about six thousand men. The ex.
equatur OF the American Consul at Vera Cruz
hos been revoked. What is to come OF a III this
it is impossible to determine, but there is no
need Of coDcealing the fact that the relations
of the American government with Mexico
appear at the present time to be in a more
critical condition than they have been for
many years.-StdteSman.

Emigration to the Mines,

Emigration TO the mines is already setting
in. During the past week large number
Of teams have arrived, and after laying in
supplies for the trip, have proceeded west
ward to the land OF gold.
From gentlemen who have recently arri-
we'd here from the eastern States, we learn
there is every indication that the emigration
to the new gold mines will fully equal that
Of the fret two years of the rush to CaIfor-
mia. The emigration last season. WAS but
an earnest of what is coming this spring.
There is every indication of an early sea,
son-at least four weeks earlier than last
Should the present weather continue it will
be but short time before there will be grass
in abundance, and the emigration will find
good opportunity for recruiting their stock,
and OF laying 10 their supplies and procuring
everything Necessary for complete outfit.
From the superiority Of the route-the
saving Of dstance-abundance OF supplies
and convenient stopping places, the North
Platte route has become the conceded favor
ite route to the mines, Utah, California and
Oregon. This being SO we'll understood,
may we not reasonably expect to witness
much larger emigration over it than that of
last season !-OmGha NebraskiGx, 10th inst.
