Thu occunation of Beaufort by an expedition
detached from General BuRNsrpEs command at
Newbern, Is the chief feature Of the news TINS
,nornine. The possession OF this place Is Of
,yr.., Importance in sratogetical point Of Wow,

,o..t and enables vessels drawing fourteen feet
of water to land troops and ammunition, thus
relieving us from the Inconvenience that at
tended the Burnside Expedition at its com
mencement. Fort Macon, n United States
nos, seized by the rebels soon after the secession
Of North Carolina, was also partially destroyed
and abandoned, and is now ''scized, occupied and
held by our forces in accordance with the Pres
idcnt'. proclamation calling the nation to
arms after the fall Of Sumrtcr.
Before abandoning the place. the rebels burned
Che Nashville. and thus ignominiou,ly tcrmi-
mattel the career Of vessel whose possible con-
fict with the Tuscarora involved the great
British nation in--occans Of talk. She was wor-
fhvofa better fate than thus to sufrrat the hands
Of her Friends, if for no other relsoa than on ac-
count Of the daring ingenuity ~ which she
cludcd our cruzcrs and got into port. II appear.
that she left Southampton Feb. 81. and on
March ist entered Beaufort by hosting the Stars

A German merchant who, some years ago,
was sent To Mexico by an English and Amcri-
can firm to explore the mines in that country
has given to the Press the result Of his travels
The ROYAL Geographical Society Of London, of
which the writer il member, has shown him great
attention. lie states that the German element
Is represented in all branches Of business in Mex
leo, and although they do not appear 30 frequent
ly in organized form Ms do some Of the English
and Spanish houses, the Germans stand together
great deal, nevertheless.
In the capital, as well a. in the smaller cities,
c.r,,,a 49,. C,r themsclvcs, or cohhec'en
VIVA english, American Spanish or French
houses While the internal trade Is almost en-
tirely in the hands of Spanards and Americans,
the import trade from Europe, through the ports
Of Vera Cruz, San Bias and Acapulco, is incon
testably carried on by Germans. The German
houses have hitherto chiefly placed themselves
under the protection Of the English Consul,
or call upon him when they are in trouble.
The pure German houses have no protection
whatever from home, and call upon he French,
Spanish or English Consuls according to their
business connection, although they often act.
themselves, as the Consuls Of different German
States. They are chiefly IIamburghers. In
Vera Cruz the Hamburger men do the most local
business, but in the Capital thcy are mostly
commission merchants. At the great yearly
fair Of San Juan dc los Legos, which is frequon-
ted by merchants of all nations the spanish
houses sell quantities of goods, originally
imported by Germans or Englishmen at
Vera Cruz, Ma1atlan or San Bias. The
main business in manufacturing goods is trans
acted at this fair by Germans, and the amount
turned over by one single German firm there has
reached slO0, 900. In Guanazuato ind Guadal-
lara, the chief importation of European manuiac-
tured articles is by Germans, as is also the case
at Vera Cruz and Mazatlan. In scientific mat
tiers the French and Germans take tho lead.
Even in the mining business, although hun
dreds Of miners and captains have been brought
over from Cornwall, the mining engineers eiu-
Gated at Fricberg are more thought VI and better
paid than their English rivals.

the people Of the Confederate States, is uncon-

repugnant to civilization and sound policy
subversive Of the free principles upon which
Federal Union was founded, and certain TO re-
suit in the hopeless and bloody overthrow Of
our existing institutions; and
WHEREAS, the people Of Maryland, while re-
cognizing the obligation Of their State, as a
member Of the Union, to submit in good faith
to the exercise Of all the legal and constitu-
tional powers Of the General Government, and
to join as one man in fighting its authorized
battles, do reverence, nevertheless the great
American principle of selGgoyernment, and
sympathize deeply with their Southern breth-
rem in their noble and manly determination TO
uphold and defend the same and
WHEREAS, not merely on their own account
and to turn away from their own soil the ca
lamities OF civil war, but for the blessed sake
of humanity, and to avoid the wanton she'd

BURIED ALIVE. In the early part Of
last week, in Cincinnati, woman named
Mary Costigan died, and, in the absence
of her husband, who is in the army, the
body was placed in a vault in cemetery
The Inquirer says;
On Wednesday last the husband OF the
deceased returned home to be not only
surprised but severely shocked with the
melancholy news that awaited him.
Anxious once more to behold the helov-
ed features of his departed wife before
her remains were deposited in the grave,
he had her coffin opened in the presence
Of several friends, when, what was his
horror and establishment to End she had
changed position, and was lying fat upon
her face, having in her struggles and ox
IRENE despair torn the flesh entirely Of
one Of her shoulders. The feelings oil
the husband and friends can readily b,
imagined, at the exposure of such an W
fal death. The lid of the coffin was re.
placed and then lowered in the ground
there TO lilo forever.
