A LETTER FROM HoN. w. L. YANcEy.-- The Montgomery (Ala.) Post says letter has been received from Hon. w. l.. Yancey, one of our commissioners to Europe, in which he states that onr independence will certainly be recognized by England during the month of August, and that he expects to be at home in September. f
 aT Ex Lieutenant Governor Frank H. Lub- buck has been nominated as candidate for Governor of Texas, at the election in August next In the first district Col. A. M. Lewis, of Benham, is a candidate for Congress, and in the third district A. M. Brauch, of Hunts vile.
 G1r We copy the following from late Gin cinnati Gazette:
 The Illinois commissioners for purchasing arms, have adjourned, and postponed for ths present the purchase of arms. The difficulty of concluding contracts is understood to be no other than that satisfactory negotiation can not be made for payment.
 aD- The New York papers complain that the market has not been half supplied with strawberries this season. Wonder how they will get early peaches.
 llE Herschell V. Johnson is assisting in the canvass in Georgia for subscriptions to the Confederate loan.
 CAps.--About 15,000 caps are turned out daily at one of the percussion cap manufacto- ries at Nashville, Tennessee.
 sHERE's YouR MULE !''-The boys are all right in Padncah, the capital of the good old State of McCracken. On the day of their re- cent election they voted large majority for Burnett, the Southern Rights candidate for Congress, erected most beautiful pole for the Confederate flag, and stopped the shipment of hundred hogsheads of sugar, which one of their merchants had drayed down to the wharfboat for shipment to Cincinnati. Glory enough for one day.
 HEss1AN OUrRAGEs.--A soldier of the 20th (Germany regiment writes to New York that Dr. Hanseau, the principal physician of the regiment, now stationed at Camp Weber, Hampton Ferry, is quartered with the re- mainder of the staff at President Tyler's house in that neighborhood. All the furniture in the house is demolished, excepting three busts in the doctors roon--those of Schiller, Goethe and Humboldt.
