- The latest news from Mexico states that
Miramon, with only $500 men, had entrenched
himself in the city of Mexico; having met with
a series of disastrous defeats on his march to
that city. The city is surrounded by twenty
thousand soldiers Of the Juarez government, who
were expected to make an attack on the 9th in.
slant. A loan was expected to be soon levied
exclusively on Me1icans; and a vessel had arri-
we'd from Brazos with $50, 500 in treasure. The
siege of Mexico may establish Juarez in power,
and put an end to the faction Of Miramon.
- Various cities and towns of Indiana have
lately been expelling the free negroes from their
limits and the Legislature has passed a law to
prevent them after a certain time, from going
into the State. They have actually formed
vigilance Committees" to keep an eye upon
"this lazy, worthless, drunken, and thieving
race" as they call them to take the law into
their own hands and run the negroes off. Alack-
aday! Without a single crime against these
delectable philanthropists, the free negro is made
a modern Cain, compelled to be a fugitive and
vagabond in the earth. What better argument
could one want for the humanity of Slavery
Verify the slaves condition, in comparison with
this restless and homeless loneliness of the free
negro at the North, driven out not only from
the pale of social fellowship but even of legal
protection, is a paradise.
- Under an act of Congress providing that
all home.manufactured articles, sent abroad and
returned again in their original state, shall be
free of duty, millions of barrels and hogsheads

with sugar and molasses. The swindling yam.
KEGS contend that such sugar and molasses are
free of duty while the government claims that
the barrels are not in their original state, but
have become a part and parcel of the contents.
The Federal Judges at New York, before whom
this case has been brought, differ as to the prop

the Supreme Court of the United States. 1t is
calculated that the result will affect the revenue

MIR. Yancey, in the prosecution of hi<
Northern tour, has reached Washington City
where an immense crowd, headed by the "Marine
Band" greeted him on the 2lst instant, to whom
be made a strong Southern speech-e loquentlJ
advocating disunion in the event of Lincoln
election. He said the Union was in the hands
of the anti Lincolnites, who could by a fusion
defeat Lincoln, and thus save the South from thu
alternative of submission and disgrace or dis
union. ''Mr. Yancey concluded by saying tina
if the Northern sectional majority disregardec
the checks and limitations of the Constitution
Southern freemen would plant the banner O
equality upon the mountains Of Georgia, anG
entrench themselves in a Southern Confederacy
but he hoped that a timely fusion would aver
such dire evils" We are glad Mr.. Yancey has
taken this high Southern headland from which
to let loose his battery upon the Northern masses
We believe it will do more, coupled with depre.
cation of the evil in sentiment, and GOODNESS in
utterance, than any trucking policy, ignoring
the wrongs and the spirit of the South. could do
Let the Northerners clearly understand that We
are ashamed of ''absolute submission" and lei
them bear upon their own shoulders the respon.
sibility of their own deeds. The North and moi
the South-ifit comes-will be the real cause Of
disunion.
