LOUISVILLE, Oct. S0.-The Journal saws that re
marKably shrewd and well informed politicians
recently from w Washington, state that some of the
principal Breckenridge leaders from the South, in
cuding Senator Wigfall and Judge Meek, agreed
last Thursday on plan of action in case of Mr.
Lincon's election, viz: South Carolina, within sc
days alter the election, would declare herself indie

LATER FROM MEXICo.-Probuble Fall of Gudddd-
jara-The United States Mail steamship Tennessee,
from Vera Cruz the 2lst, arrived here yesterday.
From our files of Mexican papers we condense the
following:
The city of Guadalajara which was defended by
some seven thousand men and thirty pieces of ar
Illery, under the command of Generals Castillo and
Vol, has, it was rumored fallen into the hands OF
the Constitutonalis forces under Generals 0rtega
and Ogazon. There official announcement
of the fact, though it was generally believed at the
capital the day the diligence left, the 18th instant
that the city had fallen on the llth instant. As il
was known, however, that the beseged were suffer
ing for lack of provisions, and that their defensive
positions were reduced, it is highly probable that
the Constituonalists have by this time carried the
city by assault and that the besieged have capitu
lated.
1t is officially announced that General Degollado
is deprived of his command for his seizure of the
late cOnducta, and that the treasure is to be re
turned to its owners. The same officer has been
detected negotiating with the Mramon Govern
ment for peaceable settlement of the civil conten
tions, on the basis of an abandonment (by the Con
sttutionasts) of the Constitution of 1851. He
was ordered to Vera Cruz to be tried by cour tmar

From Washington,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-As much has recently
been said in public prints about the re-coinng of
gold dollars into pieces of larger denominations, it
may be STAGED that orders for that purpose have
been issued from the Treasury Department in two
special cases only, and they representation that
the smaller coins occasion much inconvenience in
the receipts and disbursements; for sooner are
they paid out than they again returned, in
business transactions, there appearing to be re-
dundance of them among the commercial classes.
The Assistant Treasurer at New FORK was for
the greater facility in counting, authorised to
have about two millions Of them recoined, and the
Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis upward of one
hundred and fifty thousand for similar reasons
This re coinage, however, applies to the original
earlier issues, which it skuown smaller in cir
cumterence and thicker than the later and superior
coin. OF the former there are now nine millions,
and of the latter six millions in circulation.
While gold dollars are great convenience in
small, it is considered that there is redundance
of them for large transactions, and hence the re-
cent special orders in relation to the re coinage.
There does not seem to be any purpose so to re-
duce the amount of this description of coin as to
incony enience the public.

INCENDTARY FIRE IN PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY,
MARYLAND.-Last night the barn of Mr.. John A.

Washington, in Prince Georges county, Maryland,
was destroyed BY fire, together with its contents,
consisting of farming utensils carts, wagons, thresh

The loss is $4,000, at a low estimate, and no in
