Austria and the United States.

On the 9th of April last Mr.. Seward instructed Mr..
Motley to protest against the sending of Austrian re-
Inducements to Macmillan:
1t is thought proper that you should state that in
event of hosties being carried on hereafter in
Mexico by Austrian subjects under the command or
with the sanction of the government of Vienna the
united States will feel themselves atliberty to regard
those hoshlltes as constituting a state of war by
austria against the republic OF Mexico. and in regard
TO such war, waged at the time and under existing
circumstances the United States could engage to
remain as silent or neutral spectators"
The Cuba brings news that detachment of Aus
trian troops. destined for Mexico has been disbanded
made by MIR. Motley, under these Instructions. The
Berlin correspondent of the London Times says that
MIR. Motley announced that he would leave the coun-
try II another body of volunteers despatched to
Mexico The result was that tho troops did not 90.

How RIOTS ARE Cor UP.-The Chicago Times
publishes the following item from its own corespon-
dent. In view of the late riots in Memphis, the
statements are exceedingly suggestive:
There is on the levee. posse of young devils
known as the Mackerel Brigade, ranging from to
10 ysars Of age. who are pest and nuisance to every
Doat In port and, In fact to everybody the levee
Their mode Of procedure is to gather around a whis-
Ky or ale barrel tap it, and help themselves to what
they DESIRE and, if driven of, to take stand at
distance ana pelt the crew with stones. Yesterday
they began their depreeations on the Alice Dean.
and in spite set some cotton fire, which was for
tunately extinguished before much damage was
DONE. To-day they compelled the Alice Deans men
to quit work and shelter themselves aboard the boat
The colOred fremen returned the stone throwing
aud was beating the young maekereIs. when some
lrshmen lnterfered. Pilot Jim Carroll, seeing a

subsequently did. In throwing the stones they broke
two sky-lights A stone entered the Office breaking
a coal oil lamp. which spilled the oil ali over the
deck. Steamboatmen's patience is almost exhaust
ed, and some of these young rascals will be shut
before long"

The WAY 1T IS DoYE.-The South Carolina cor
respondent of the New York Herald, gives the fol-
lowing specimen Ofthe way the negroes are swindled
by gentlemen from the North who have leased plan
tations in the South. He says:
Driving over plantation we halted at a store
round which group of forty or fifty suualjd negroes
were gathered, receiving their days wages, There
were no contracts on this farm The hands were en-
gagged from day to day at fifty cents a task" The
storekeeper was paying them when we came up, and
was giving them, not money. but tickets for pro-
VISIONS He explained that he often had no money
wherewth to pay them, so he gave them their earn
ings in goods We inquired the prices at which the
stores were sold. We found that corn which sells in
GbarIeston market at dollar and thirty cents a
bushel, and Is worth in Wadmalaw Island with
transportation added certainly less than dollar and
MY cents was being doled out to them at three dol
lars a bushel. Twenty-Five cents was charged for a
package containing twenty-five biscuits, such as
might be bought in New York three for a cent md
everything else was in like proportion Should there
be anything still due to the negroes after they had
purchased the necessary meal and bacon there were
beads and cheap jewelrysure to attract the negros
eye-displayed in the absorb the balance of
his earnings. Thus, while they were apparently paid
far wages for their work. than half their earn
lncs were every day taken back from them in the
shape of profit the goods in which they were paid
IN lieu of money. General Steedman asked who
loased the plantation. He told Mr.. Underwood
OF Boston. This Mr.. Underwood does not reside on
taso Northerner) with the assistance of resident
to whom i've hundred dollars year is paid for his
adVlce. Inc poor creatures employed on the farm
gathered round General SteeGman in body and
bitterly comp aimed that their days work barely suf
nced TO provide for them than their days pro-
VISIONS 1t was evident that things are going on
when winter comes they will be left penniless and
starving

TOBACCO PLANTING.-The Danville Va) Register
says the rainy season of last week gave the farmers
in the surrounding country opportunity to set out
tobacco plants. In Pittsylvania, we learn the to-
bacco plants generally too backward and small
to he transpanted. but in Cnswell, N. c., we hear
they were more forward, and great numbers were put
in the hills There seems to be effort made for q
large crop of the weed everywhere The Times says
planter set out 100 GOO plants and another 200 Co.,
at single drawing. As the season continues TO be
favorable for planting. We may rely upon the crop of
this important stable getting good 'send-off."
