Of one American marc and two FLIES, one Of
which was identified as the property Of Mr..
Eastwood, who was killed on the Leona not
long since. Near their first camp we found
large trail Of horses which had been driven
across the Nueces.
These parties had been depredating on the
Leona and upper Frio, where the people had all
abandoned their rNnchos and stock. ---.
The FLAG also has the following items:
Capt. Douelson, with his command, en- route
for Brownsville, was met at Edlnburg by Col.
Ford's expressman, with directions to take up
the line Of march up the river; we presume TO
re.occupy eventually Fort Ewell.
Now that the prospect OF invasion from United
States forces Is substantially exploded, we pre-
sumo the mounted rangers will forthwith take
the ield again; carrying with them peace ant
security to the homes OF thousands.

The Rubicon has been passed. Yesterday |
tomac and took formal military possession Of
the unprotected town Of Alexandria V. ~ ~
This is the first response of the Lincoln des-
potism to theahouts for freedom and independ.
ence which wentup on Thufsday from every
portion Of Virginia.
Alexandria has been declared by the Wash
ington tyrants portion of the District OF Co
lumbia, and as she gave, In the very face OF the
Federal army, an overwhelming majority for
Secession, Lincoln has sent his troops there to
develop and protect Union sentiment.
| Do these besotted fanatics Aatter themselves
that Alexandria Is to be kept in chains like
those which bind poor Baltimore to the car OF
the Federal despotism7
We congratulate the people OF Virginia that
the last limsy pretext Of the rump Government
at Washington, of record for constitutional
laws, has been thrown aside. The sovereign
State of Virginia has been invaded by the Fed
eral hirelings, without authority Of Congress,
/ which alone has the war-making power. Here
tofore, the pretense that IL was the duty OF the
Federal Government to repossess itself OF the
forts and arsenals In The seeded States, has
4 been put forward to Justify the aggressive move
4 ments of the Federal troops. But In the pres
ent case there is no such pretense; no forts OF
arsenals or other Federal property have beer
seized at Alexandra. The "bloody and brutal
purposes OF the abolitionists, to subugate ano
exterminate the Southern people, stands con-
fessed by this hsgrant outrage upon Virgins

their country, has been desecrated by the hostile

of Yankee rule. Meet the invader at the thresn

The whale at the Aquarial Gardens.

Professor Agassiz writes to Mr.. Cutting as
follows, in relation 70 this "stranger in Boston,"
CAMBRIDoE, May 25, 1861.
Dear SI;-It gives me pleasure to comply
with your request 70 furnish you with some in
formation respecting the white whale now In
the aquarium Of Mr.. Cutting in Boston.
This animal lie an inhabitant of the northern
seas, its lowest range being the Gulf Of the ST.
Lawrence. Martens, in his journey TO Greenland
and Spitzbergen In 1871, was the fret to give an
accurate account OF this species under the name
of Waszfsch (white fsb) the name of fish being
applied in earlier days to all marine animals.
Like the sperm whale, the right whale and the
porpoises, however, it belongs to the class Of
mammalia, and not to that of fishes. The first
systematic name it received was Balaena Abb
cans (the whitefsh whale), SO called by Kleir. q
contemporary of Linn@us, on account of bis
whitish color. But since the family of whales
embraces number of distinct genera, it was af.
terwsrd called Delybinapterus, by Lacopde, and
still later Beluga, by Gray. Accounts of itshab.
its more or less extensive may be found in the
works Of the Arctic voyagers, especially il
Grant, Egede and Scoresby, and scientific de.
scriptons in Fabricus, Shaw. Currier, &c.
en- In bringing to Boston alive go interesting q
specimen. Indeed IL is no mean achievemeut
to have brought into populous city living
whale. and to have put il up for exhibition in q
glass tank; even though that whale be neither
the right whale nor the sperm whale, but
smaller species, rarely exceeding twenty feet
in length, though specimens forty feet long
have been captured. He has already afforded
me the means of much valuable information,
and trust Il may afford as much pleasure To
many others, to see II turning round and round
in his large tank, and now and then coming to
the surface to breathe, or blow Jas is the phrase
with the cetaceans. When / last visited the
aquarium, was particularly pleased 10 see the
evidence Of return to higher style of exhi
bitions in that establishment, to say the least
and to understand that the performances former.
ly carried on In IL, from which nothing could be
learned, are at last to be stopped.

told by young factory girl, formerly employed
in one of the Lowell mills. She had been dis
charged, and the corporation refusing TO pay
her, she sought legal redress and retained Mr..
Butler for her counsel. He listened TO her case
with much interest, and afterwards consulted the
representative of the corporation, who still re-
fused to pay the girl her wages. Butler then
issued a writ, and attached the main water
