INKLINGS.

THE news from Mexico states that the
city of Guadalajara has been taken by the Lib
erals; and that even the Spanish authorities are
becoming disguised with the atrocities of the
Miramon party. In the city of Mexico recently,
an historical play was introduced on the stage,
in which an appeal was represented to be made
to a monarch by his subjects, for the blessings
of peace. At this stage of the play, o gentle.
man in the audience arose and, addressing the
President, depicted in heart-rending tones the
miseries of the Mexican people, and begged him
also to grant his people the boon Of peace. The
head of the police, by order of Miramou, dragged
the poor fellow to prison, where he was senten-
ced to receive FIVE hundred stripes at daybreak
next morning. When three hundred and fifty
stripes had been administered, word was sent to
NH anon that the man was dying. "Let the
remainder" was his brutal reply ''be given on
the dead body my order must be carried out"
At another time q woman who had been caught
attempting to facilitate her husband in his es.
cape from a Miramon press-gang, was whipt to
death. Such deeds make the age blush for
shame.
- The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following
pertinent remarks relative to the effects of Sec
tional agitation on the trade of the North west
1.-THE sluggishuess produced by the condition
of affairs in the South still continues, and the
market has all the dull appearance that charac
terized it yesterday. On the one hand, buyers
say that the demand from those points in the
South from which large orders have been ex-
pected will not come till after the November
election; that their correspondents intend to
wait and see how matters are about to shape
With this state of things staring them in the
face, they do not care to buy and hold, till the
South comes in. The unfavorable advices from
New York to.day had a tendency to produce a
still further decline in -four here, but light stock
and the high price of wheat cause sellers to hold
with frmness at yesterdays prices. Buyers ar.
que that there is no shipping margin to the sea-
board. and no orders on the market, and that q
decline must and will take place.
- A correspondent of the Charleston Cou
rier, writing from Columbia under date of Octo'
Der 81, uses the following language. Everything
from that source will be intensely interesting
from now till Christmas. We shall endeavor to
keep our readers up with 'the creamiest of the
cream :" and it is all important for them tc
catch the spirit of the legislature and the CAPT
tai at the earliest lawn. We, therefore, copy
the whole letter to the Courier:
ga few Legislators have made their appear
ance in our city, and the Governor is expected
to arrive to morrow. All parties here are uni
ted in favor of action in case of Lincoln's cleo.
ton, and a firm spirit prevails. The question
Of separate State action or cooperation is no,
now mooted, and we trust will not be. Let the
Convention be called, and upon the call it will
be time enough to consider it. But let good
feeling and a conciliatory spirit be adopted to
procure confidence in all parties and unanimity
in the great work, and all will be we'll.
In some of the upper Districts, where the
Representatives have expressed themselves, CO.
operative action has a majority, but I think it
unwise to make any reference to the subject,
except to suggest that some bitter feeling has
existed, as rumors that, in the election of Gov
ernor, President of the Senate, Speaker of the
House, Attorney General, &c., q disposition
exists in certain quarters to oppose gentlemen,
because of former party connections. If this
spirit truly exists, it will lead to a sad division
in the State, and rouse feelings Of disastrous
influence in our councils.
