Excitement About the Publication of Hum

There is at present a literary sensation in
Europe. The celebrated publishing-house of
BrockhauS at Leipsic recently published q
thick octave volume of "Letters from Alex
ander Won Humboldt to Varnhagen Von
Ense, edited by Miss Ludmilla Assing, of
Berlin. These letters, it tappears, contain nu-
Prussia and other individuals, compromising
many living persons! The letters--over two
hundred and fifty in number--were neverIin-
tended for publication, and il has been said
that itwould have been better for all parties
had Miss Asslng destroyed most of them.
Miss Assing was the niece of Varnhagen, who
died in October 1855, and she found the let
ters among her uhcle's papers AS soon as
acter of the book its circulation was prohib-
tied, which, Of course, made everybody doubly
desirious to see it. The Prince Regent, how
ever, removed the prohibition. y. '''.n XXX

A suspccted Witch TerribIy Tortured and
then Burnt to Death, I'D Ir


A Rio Grande City correspondent of the
Texas Rdnchero gives the following painful
history, which reminds US Of the days of
Salem witchcrah and Puritan superstition;
There is q man living at Camargo named
Ambrosio Ramierez who has been for some
time suffering from loathsome disease. As
he has been unable to recover by the medical
treatment he has rsceiyed, both himself and
wife concluded he had been bewitched by an
inottensive woman, named Antonio Alanis
An American citizen and resident of Roma
llnrias Sanierez, the father Of this Ambroso
kamierez, who is one Of the most wealthy
Mexicans on the river, owning large tract of
land aud much stock ON this side, sent party
OF men to the house of the poor Antonio
Alanis to kidnap and take her to CaInargo.
This they-did in the most brutal manner.
They lassoed her and dragged her on the
ground until they feared she would die, and
they would not be able TO get her TO Camargo.
They beat one Of her daughters very badly
for interfering to protect her poor mother;
shot at another for the same reason, but
finally succ eeded in taking the old woman
| across at Roma. She was taken to Oamargo,
severely beaten, and her body stuck full of
thoTns of prickly pear, and this beating, &C.,
repeated as soon as she recovered sufficiently
to be able to endure it, for the space of some
two weeks This treatment Of the witch did
not however, improve tho health of the
Calico, and the witch doctor then told them
| that they must burn her; that the sick man
had pigeon bones in his head, and that as
soon as the witch commenced burning the
bones would protrude, and he (the witch doc
| tor) would then pull them out, and the man
! would recoverl This was actually done, The
poor woman was tied up and corn shucks
lighted under her feet, and she kept in this
horrid torture until she was SO badly burnt
that she soon afterward died.

Improvement in California ARTILLERY.

The Sacramento Standard gives the follow
ing notice of some ingenious improvement in
ordnance, particularly in guns intended for
mountain service, invented by a Mr.. Stod-
dard, who halls from Sonora, Tuolumc
County: ~ ..
We have been shown an improvement in
artillery, the production of a Californian,
which is intended to be used in the noun
tain countries, or wherever horses can not be
used TO advantage. The inventor, Thomas
r. Stoddard insists that if piece dfordnance
be divided into sections, it not only is more
portable, but stronger than gun cast solidly.
His theory is, that if cannon be divided
into any number of sections and attached by
q screw, that as the. screw is the strongest
lever known in mechanics, when the sections
are fitted together tightly, the piece will
burst sooner at any place than the screw
By this simple means he is enabled to get the
strength of the gun just where it is most
needed, viz: between the breech and the
trunnion. Besides this, he is enabled, by
| making the screw attachments all alike, tc
have either long gun or a short one, &C.
cording to the range desired. Vi Fl1

The British army, for the year 1850 Is to
consist of 240,00O men. This includes the
whole force required for the protection Of
India the Colonies. and the British Islands
in Europe. The cost will amount to S75, ,000-
900, nominally averaging 1912 80 for each
man for twelve months. England, with a
population of $4,000, 900, has an army of
100000, being force in proportion to the
population Of one in l29 persons. France:

not being here included, the possible army
of France may be raised to 600, 900 in a month.

100000 men--one in II. Austria; popula-

army Of the United States y small in num-
Der, but the militia is nearly 1900, 900 strong.
In France the expenditures for national de-
fenses amounted to one7half the public in-
come; in Russia, one-third; Austria, as every
one knew, was entirely crippled; in Prussia
this expenditure was one-fourth Of the public
revenue; in Belgium, one-third; in Sardinia,
forty per cent; in Holland, one-ffth; in
Switzerland, one-tenthj and, as to Spain, il
was hardly possible to form any estimate re-

An Obstinate Beauty DESTROYED by n Car

A letter from Bruges, Belgium, in the Inde-

the Governor of that province, one Of the

with q physician of her acquaintance, who
noticed q small black spot on the lady,s check.
He told her of it, but the lady replied that it
was only little pimple, and would soon dis
appear. The doctor thought otherwise, and
advised her to apply poultices Immediately.
She, however, declined to follow his advice.
In about an hour after they again met, and
the doctor saw that the spot was spreading,
and that an operation was absolutely neces-

could induce her to listen to such q proposal
