A NOVEL CARRIAGE FOR FRENCH
PRINCE--There has just been completed at
the establishment of Mr. William Mccain
vehicle for jerome N Bonaparte, the like OF
which has not probably been made or seen on
this continent. 1t is called "Vegar, and is
something in appearance like the ancient Gre
clan chariot The body is square box. with
the rear end open, with the sides curved down
to the floor. 1t is painted black, and highly
polished. In the centre, Immediately over
the axle, is stand with framework made after
the fashion of the back and withers of the
horse, upon which is placed a saddle, also OF
peculiar construction, to be occupied as the
seat for the driver. There are no stirrups,
the feet resting upon the floor. In the front is
n seat across the entire width, sufficient for
two or three persons to sit. Attached TO the
seat will be the staff of mammoth umbrella,
sufficient to protect from the sun or rain all
who may be in the vehicle The body rests
on four elliptic springs, and the two side
springs rest upon hanging axle. The rum
ming gear is simple in construction, consisting
of only the two wheels, the shafts and the
swingletree bar. The running gear is painted
black, striped with vermilion, the whole pre-
senting a neat but singular appearance. 1t is
made after design from the gentleman for
whom it is constructed, and one of its peculi.
arites is that the saddle is movable, either for
ward or backward, to relieve the horse either
in ascending or descending hill.-Baltimore

NEWS FROM NEW MEXICO.

ST LOUIS, April 29.-Coi. Slough and Gen.
Candy formed junction at Galveston on the
18th. Major Duncan, who was in command
of Gen. Canby's advance guard, encountered
a large party of Texans and routed them
Major Duncan was slightly wounded. The
Texans were thirty miles south of Galveston
in full flight from the territory. There is no
doubt of the speedy capture of Sibleys com.
mand, as they are entirely destitute Of every
thing.
a gentleman from Omaha states that there
have been recent troubles on the over and
mail route, occasiened by the drivers and other
employees, who have not been paid for several
months. They seized nearly all the available
stock of the company, to obtain their wages.
The Indians are peaceablY disposed and thus
far have done no injury to the mails or over

Gen. Candy reached Galeston the 18th,
and an immediate pursuit of the Texans was

doubt was entertained of the speedy capture

destitute of every thing having lost at the bat

One hundred and sixty wounded had been

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, April 28th.-The
governor to day issued his proclamation con
vening the state convention on the 1st Mon
day in June at this place. The principal
cause given is that the state ought to be re
districted so as to give Missouri the two
additional representatives in congress to
which she is entitled under the late rate OF
representation. 1t is thought that full al
tendance of members will be had.
ALBANY, April 29th.-A letter from Capt
Mcneil of the 93d regiment, gives an account

A GALLANT DAsu.-The mudsils of Massa-

A GALLANT DAsH.-The mudSils of Massa-
chusetts have once more proved themselves
men. Gen. Mcclellan telegraphs to the sec
rotary of war, that on Saturday morning COM
pany II of the first Massachusetts regiment
took, by brilliant dash, a small advanced
work of the rebels, near the head of the War
wick river. The lunette had ditch six feet
deep, with a strong parapet, and was manned
by two companies of infantry Gen. McCle-
Ian reports: "Our men moved over open soft
ground some six hundred yards Iabout one
third of a mile, received the fire of the reb
els at fifty yards, did not return il, but rushed
over the ditch and parapet in the most gallant
manner" The enemy was double the number
OF our attacking force, and had tile advantage
of an earthen defence but when they saw
that the Massachusetts men did not stop to re-
turn their fire, they ran away.
The Bay State need not feel ashamed OF
her sons in this war. Wherever they have
met the enemy they have given good ac'
count of themselves, and have done their du'
ty against all odds. The South Carolinlan
chvalry, who hold back very strangely from
active service after their loud boasts, may learn
some Wholesome lessons from the mudslls they
so much despised. There has not been a pat
tie in the east in which Massachusetts men have
not taken part; but, except ut Bull knn we
have not heard of a South Carolina brigade
or regiment in action. The Palmetto men
were very hungry for fight year ago ha'
their appetite failed them since l-Neio YORK

From MecLELLAN.s ARMY.

BEFORE YORKTOWN, April 27.-The rebels
ara just realizing that Gen. Mcclellan is max
ing extensive preparations to open the sec1nd
siege of Yorktown. Our earthworks are be
ginning to present formidable appearance
and all day yesterday and last night they kept
up brisk fire on them with view to driving
the men out No one was injured, and the
work progressed as though no enemy were
within range. This morning the rebels opened
with increased vigor, for about three hours.
Yesterday. Gen. Hancock went out with a
portion of his brigade to drive the enemy from
the woods near our works. Our troops ad
vanced through an open fire, on their hands
and knees, until they came within close mus
ket range. The rebels, secreted behind stumps
and trees, were anxious to get them on their
feet, and their captain shouted to charge
bayouets. The command being given the
second time the rebels arose when our troops
gave them voley that made them run and
leave their dead and wounded. A new bat
terry they had erected Sunday night was most
effectually silenced and the guns dismounted
