News from Mexico.

From recent advices received at
Washington, the correspondent of
the New York Neacs learns that the
number of emigrants arriving in
Mexico from the United States
increases every week. Most of
them are from the Southern
States, particularly from Louisi-
ana, Virginia, Texas, and South
Carolina, and some from Illinois
and Pennsylvania. Most of those
who have come during the last
three months seem to be persons
of soae means, and are investing
their capital in the Improvement
of their lands. They have brought
with them III many instances, the
most improved agricultural imple-
ments in the United States, and
are making arrangements to devel-
op the agricultural resources of
the country to the fullest extent.
Many of the extensive land-own-
ers in Mexico, who own thousands
of acres of the finest land near
the lines of the railroads that are
being constructed, have caught the
spirit of enterprise, and are offer
inc for sale, on moderate terms,
large portions of their estates
This is in addition to the public
lands given by the Government to
actual settlers, and will prove an
add tional stimulus to enterprise.
The lands thus put upon the mar
ket are the most valuable in Mex
leo, and, although offered at a
moderate price now, will be worth
ten times the purchase money ten
years hence. Mr.. Maury, the
commissioner of colonization, has
received orders from the Emperor
Maximilian to cause these lands
to be mapped and surveyed at the
expense of the Government, and
to furnish each land owner with a
copy of the map and survey thus
made. This is done in order to
facilitate the sale of such portions
of the estates as the owners desire
to bring into the market. The
public lands are being surveyed
and offered for sale according to
the system of the United States
Land Office.

The St. Louis Republican says
"We have simple question that
we wish to put to our Radical
cotemporaries, and we hope they
will, answer it. Should Congress
refuse to admit the Representa-.
tives of the Southern States to
their seats, ON the ground that
they are out the Union, what will
they do with the stars which rep.
resent those States upon the old
flag?' Do they themselves pro-
pose to deface the flag about which
they have made such a noise
Let us have an answer, gentlemen,
to the question

4. The Louisiana Legislature were
badly victinized few days since.
A communication was received by
the Senate, of which the following
is the opening: "The undersigned,
as a committee Of ladies' of New
Orleans, wish to present your hon
orable body with a United States
flag" etc. The Senate received
the communication rendering the
flag, and fixed an hour in the af-
ternoon for its formal reception
Shortly after they repaired to the
hall of the House Of Representa-
tives for the purpose of electing a
State printer. That duty per-
formed, they returned to their
own chamber, and ordered forth
with, that everything relating to
the letter and the flag should be
expunged from the journals of the
Senate. In the interval the fact
had leaked out that the ladies de-
string to make the presentation
were colored.

and a short Roman sword, A
] the word, Peasants commenced
the advance, and was directly
fired npon by Richie, who stoot
in his place, and fred deliberately
using a stick or cane, held horri
zontally as a rest. While advanc
ling under fire, Peasants discharged
one pistol, hut otherwise he made
no use of his arms, until he came
in front of Ritchie, when he cx.
claimed, "Now you know am nc
coward?" then fired his other bell
pistol, made a pass or two with
his cane-sword, and fell. Five
shots had struck him mortally.-
He died in about three days.
Twenty years ago, and still la
ter, the pleasant town OF vlcks-
burg used to have regular ''sensa-
tions" from fights between the ed
itors of the "Whig" and the '.Sen-
tinel." Every week or two they
were upon the street with their
guns shooting at each other. The
editor of the Sentinel" was an
Irishman by birth, and from Phil
adelphia. His writings were viru-
lent in the extreme, and his relish
for a fight was seasoned even above
that degree of zeal which has SO
celebrated the vivacity of "Don-
nybrook Fair" He was finally
removed to a more serene exist
ence, in street fight with a young
gentleman named Adams, who
went all the way from New Or
leans for the purpose of shooting
him, which he did. The tone of
the Sentinel" was not abashed in
bitterness by this little accident
but always had its fighting editor,
who chiyalrously encountered all
comers-occasionally "wiping
OUT or manning an adversary;
but three or four of them ''went
UNDER" in succession, while en-
gagged in this pleasing pastime.
A duel which came off about 20
years ago, between Gholson and
Prentiss in Mississippi, created
considerable sensation at the time,
in that region where it occurred.
The origin wasapolitical difficulty,
Gholson being an ardent Democrat,
and Prentiss stout Whig. Ghol-
son was a noted duelist, had killed
his man more than once, and was a
"dead shot" Prentiss had no
laurels of that kind, but he was
known as a man of great nerve
and resolution. The affair, as is
usual in that region, was visited
by a large number of enlightened
and highly interested critics, and
this was a case of superior excel
lence and attraction. Among the
betting fraternity, Gholson ''had
the CALI" but some bets were made
that both would fall; and this
showed the sounder judgment,
for at the first fire Gholson leaped
three feet from the ground, with a
ball through his heart, and Prem
tiss wheeling round, fell also, but
only from smart flesh wound
A gentleman who had seen many
duels. and witnessed this, told ME
that Prentiss was the only man he
ever saw go into, o duel without
any sign of discomposure, and
with entire calmness.

A FREEDMAN'S SONG,
A frtedman sal ON pile of brick,

4
A friedman sat on a pile of brick,
As the rain was pattering down;
] His shoes were worn and his coat was torn,
And his hat was without a crown.
| He viewed the clouds and he viewed himself
A nd shook the wet from his head, +. 81,
And tear dimmed his eye as he saw go by
A boy with loaf Of bread, -
And he raised bis voice in dolesome tone,
That sounded like gong,
While the rain came down on bis nappy crown
And sang to himself this song: slt ~
De wind blows cold, but Is done wild toll,
And lef de cotton patch,
I guess ole Massa tink he count
De chickens fore dey hatch; ~
totes no more de heavy load, t
Nor drives ole Missus round, f-
l wonder who dey's gwine TO get
To work de patch OBJ ground.
Den fling away de rake and hoe,
Dis am de jubilee; =h-
De rain may come, de wind may blow, l
But bress de Lord Is free.
But tink last night, as tried to sleep
Upon de muddy ground,
While de rain was drirpin' on my head,
And de wind was whizzin' round,
I'd like to hab my light 'ood fire
And my cabin back again,
For de wedder's gettin' berry cold
Out here in all dis rain;
But den rs done wild rake and hoe,
Dis am de jubilee;
De rain may come de wind may blow,
But bress de Lord Is free.
Is got ali ragged bout de knees,
My shoes is worn out too, ...t
My coats so old dat from each sleeve
De elbows comm froo;
And dere's de children Cat once played
In shilt-tail bout de yard
l cannot buy shirt for dem, -H
De times so berry hard; $.
But fling away de rake and hoe,
Dis am de jubilee; ~
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
But bress de Lord rs free.
De oder day when Pinky died,
l tink it berry good
Dat de Lord should take her off
Before dis cold wind blowed
But den twas hard to see her die
wish she'd not been born
rs 'fraid she perished, for she asked
About de rice and corn; a.
But den Is done wid rake and hoe,
Dis am de jubilee;
De rain may come de wind may blow.
But bress de Lord Is free.
And Dinah sits dere on de eground,
And looks so thin and poor;
She cannot sing lie songs she sung
About de cabin door;
Her poor old limbs are almost bare,
Her cheek bones coming froo,
I almost wish de Lord would come
And take her up dere too;
But den she's done wild rake ard hoe,
Dis am de jubilee; Hit
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
But bress de Lord she's free.
1 drempt las night ole Massa came,
And took US home wild he,
To de log cabin dat we lef'
When first dey sot us free;
And dere | built de light ood fire,
And Dinah cooked de yam
Dcy say dat dreams are sometimes true;
l wonder if dis am.
But den Is flung away de hoe,
To hab jubilee;
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
But bress de Lord Is free.
