MEXICAN NEws.-Intelligenc has been re-
ceiyed from the City of Mexico to the 10th OF
March.
The Vera Cruz road is in the hands Of the
robbers. 4. Ogdon Yorke, attache to the Amer
lean legation, whom Mr.. Weller sent with DIS
patches to Washington, was butchered on the
road. He was shamefully abandoned oy ms
American companions, but he defended himself
bravely and made one of the robbers bite the
dust before he was killed. Every day some
stage leaving for Vera Cruz is plundered.
The police in the City of Mexico were busy
arresting reactionists. Large amounts of money
belonging to the Clergy had been seized, one OF
them being 81 100000 in Mexican bonds; also,
$4,000 and 80 silver bars were seized at Vera
Cruz.
The vote for Presidential election was quietly
taken all over the country. Reform clubs es-
tablished all over the Republic are doing their
utmost to keep up excitements and prevent the
peaceable execution Of Government orders.
The French Minister Saligny had not OH
ciay recognized the present Government, al
lodging that he has not received instructions
yet from Paris.
The law regulating the nunneries fixes the
taxation Of $1,000 for each nun. Allthe beau
tiful converts in the center of the city had been
offered for sale as building lots. Some of them
will be kept for colleges, hospitals, museum,
and kind of Crystal Palace for exhibitions.
Several revolutionary chieftains had made
propositions to submit, but their conduct has
been so outrageous that the gallows will be
their fate If caught.

EASTERN NEws.-The Pony arrived at
Pacerville Thursday evening, with dates
from st. Louis to March 29th. The U. s.
Senate adjourned sine die, on the 9th, bav-
ing confirmed four thousand appointments.
No appointment has been made to fill the
vacancy in the Supreme Court. The latest
report from Fort Sumter, is, that there are
sufficient supplies to sustain the garrison
until the 10Th Of April, and it was supposed
that the place would be evacuated by that
time. Dispatches received at Washington
state that the Southern troops were moving
towards Pensacola, and that force Of 5000
men would be concentrated around Fort
Pickens by the lst of April. The Ad-
ministration seems 10 have done nothing
but attend to the distribution of the spoils.
The Government credit was somewhat i'm
proving. There is prospect that every
dollar of the eight millions loan advertised
by Mr.. ChaseNWill be taken at fair rates. 1t
is reported that Mr.. Riggs, the Washington
banker, contemplates taking portion OF
the Confederate States loan, as permanent
investment.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL II, 1861.

VALUABLE FRANCHISES Es.--Three bills have
passed the Legislature, aud are now in the
hands of the Governor, granting to as many
different companies the right to lay tracks
for horse railroads through the principal
streets of San Francisco. The franchises
are to extend for the period of twenty-five
years, and the companies are to pay into
the city treasury fifty dollars per annum
for every car employed very insignia
cant sum In comparison with the amounts
paid to the municipal governments of other
cities for similar franchises. The San Fran
cisco papers have had but little to cay in
opposition to these bills, and the reason as
sigued, is that the conductors of the lead
ing journals are interested in the stock OF
the different companies. The Governor
will probably veto the bills.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-11

THE MAns.-Dispatches by the last Pony,
state that considerable opposition is mani
tested in some parts of Virginia to the car.
rying of the mails under Lincoln's Govern
ment. The people along the routes threat
en- tar and feathers TO the unlucky agents
if they attempt to do their duty, and one
has already resigned and another is expect
ed to throw up his commission. In view of
the fact that the postal service in Virginia
costs the Government some S25O,OOO more
than the receipts, it is hardly probable the
Government will continue them if the peo-
pie of the State desire to have them diseOn-
tinued.

THE publishers of the New York Tribune
have at last perfected the experiments they have
been making for upwards of a year past, to
stereotype their daily forms, after the manner
of the London Times. The Tribune entire is
now stereotyped every morning, and on two
days in the week double sets of plates are made.
BY this process the paper appears as on new
type, and an hour and half is gained each
morning in time-a consideration of the first
Importance for morning papers. 1t has accom-
plished this important result after the expendi-
ture of much time and money, and win doubt
less reap its reward.

RUMoRED PLoT.-A dispatch from Wash
ington states that the Government has re-
ceived positive information of a plot to rev.
olutionize California and Oregon, with q
view TO separating the Pacific States from
the Confederacy. Gen. johnson, and other
well-known officers are said to be impli-
Gated. There is no doubt that there has
been serious plotting to inaugurate revO-
lutionary movement on this coast, but we
place no reliance in the report that Gen
johnson is in any way implicated in the
plot. The design Of the would be revolu-
tlonists was TO strike as soon as they heard
of a collision at the East, when they imag
ined that the Government would be so par.
allied that no attention could be given tC
affairs on this coast.

"AMERICAN FREEMAsoN."-W have re-
ceived the 6rst number of a journal, enti-
tied as above, which is devoted principally
TO the dissemination of the preeepts and
principles of Ancient Craft Masonry. 1t is
published monthly in New York City, by J.
f. Brennan, at the low price of one dollar
per annum. The number before us is a
large handsome sheet, and contains many
well-written and interesting articles.

EUROPEAN FLEETs.--A Paris letter in the
New York Times states that the English
aud French Governments are fitting out
powerful feet of war steamers for the Unit
ed States. The suggestion came from Eng
land. France will furnish three first class
steamers, and the English force will per-
haps be larger. The feet will sail with
sealed orders. Spain is also preparing to
send formidable force to the Gulf Of Mex
leo, though not working in concert with
England aud France. Assuming the state
ment to be correct, we are left to conJec'
ture as to the object of the movement. The
European Governments are in no wise in-
terested, aud cannot interfere, in our ma
tional difficulties. 1t was reported some
time ago, however, that the Mexican Gov
ernment had asked the protection of Eng
land, France and Spain against the threat
ened filibustering attempts Of the Gulf
States upon the territory of that republic,
and it is not improbable that the force des-
tined for the American waters may be de-
signed to protect Mexico from invasion.

GREAT INDIAN FIGHT-Major Owen, In
dian agent for the Flathead country, gives Su-
perintendent Geary, in Washington Territory,
a description of the late battle at the Socko
Reservation, between the Assinaboines and the
Pen d'Orielles, in which the latter had 20 killed
and 25 wounded, five of the latter afterwards
dying, and lost 200 head of horses. The son of
the Pen d'Orieles Chief, Alexander, was horri-
bly, mutilated and scalped, his body stripped,
and his heart cut out. The Assinnaboines num-
bered about 200, and were out on the war path.
They encountered and whipped the Pen d'Ori-
eles, who were burdened with their families,
and who were about to catch buffaloes. After
the battle the women OF the defeated Indians
travelled 400 miles on foot, with their children
hung upon their backs.

HAIL SToRM.-The most severe hail storm
ever experienced in this county, says the Shasta
Herald, came up last Sunday from the south
west, and taking nOrth-easterly course, burst
in all its fury over the Cottonwood country, and
the east side of the river, covering the ground
to the depth of about three inches, and lying a
day before it disappeared. We are inclined tC
believe, from what we have heard its violence
in competition with the forward state of fruit
that it has materially injured if not entirely de-
stroyed it.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-11

SAN JUAN QUEsTIoN.-The dispute about
The ownership of San Juan Island appears
to be as far from settlement as ever. The
President lately transmitted to the Senate
proposition of the British Government to
refer the question to some friendly power,
and Switzerland was mentioned to in that
connection. Senator Nesmith opposed the
proposition, being unwilling to agree to
any plan involving the possibility OF giving
up the Island. The matter was debated in
executive session, but laid over until the
meeting of the next Congress.

PUBLIC DoCUMENTs.-We are indebted TO
Senator Latham for Part 1, volume IL, OF
the Pacific Railroad Survey. This book
contains the narrative of the explorations OF
Gov. Stevens party, from St. Paul, Minn.,
to Puget Sound, aud an interesting report
upon the geography of the country. 1t is
illustrated with numerous plates, maps, etc.
and is costly and valuable publication
We are also indebted to Mr.. Latham for the
Report on the Finances for lS59-6O, and
the Report of the Commissioners appointed
to visit the Military Academy.

THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY.-The Con-
ventions of Louisiana, Texas and Florida
have ratified the permanent Constitution
adopted by the Montgomery Congress, and
it will also be ratified almost unanimously
by the Mississippi Convention, but the lat
ter body is divided on the question of its
reference to the people. 1t will undoubt-
edly be ratified by Mississippi, even if left
to the voters, but fit should be left to the
voters of Alabama and Georgia there is "a
fair prospect OF its being rejected by those
States. In South Carolina there is consid-
erable opposition to the instrument, because
il prohibits the African slave trade.

How TO WIN AT PoKER.-The st. Louis
News says that party of gamblers were lately
engaged in playing at den on Locust street,
when one Of the party lost a considerable
amount of money. The lost moneyof the losing
gambler was placed upon the table, and his op-
ponent, reaching the cards to him, told him to
"cut." He Immediately did so by sticking his
knife through the gamblers hand, and pinning
it to the table. He then grasped the money,
and in the excitement escaped.

The SMITH CAsE.-The application for O
change of venue in the case of Horace
Smith, under the special act passed for that
purpose, was argued before The Supreme
Court last week, and it was expected that
the decision would be in favor of the con-
stutiOnAlity of the law. The Court has
adjourned until the next regular term, but
II is probable the decision will be rendered
during the recess.

TExAs.--The Legislature Of Texas has
endorsed the act of the Convention in depos-
lug Gov. Houston, and the old hero has
taken The stump and is boldly denouncing
the secessionists. A Washington cores
poudent says that the Government has sent
orders for a portion of the troops to be re-
tanned in Texas, subject to the order Of
Gov. Houston, in repressing any attempt to
overthrow the State Government. Further
intelligence from that quarter is looked for
anxiously. The Indians on the western
frontier commenced their depredations inn
mediately on the withdrawal Of the troops.
and the Legislature is organizing a regi-
ment of Rangers to protect the settlers.
