MEXICAN CoNGREss--SANTA STILL LIVES.
New Orleans, July 22.-The papers have
weeks later dates from Mexico; but they
are Of no Importance
The Brownsville RancIlero doubts the re-
port that an army of observation under Cor
tinas is being stationed on the Rio Grande
It also publishes an extract from lettor
said to have been written by Escobedo to
Gomez directing, by every means in his pow
er, to make the country Mexican, and as all
the property in the hands Of foreigners was
acquired by Mexican misfortunes he should
take it, and have the power to hunt them
from the country. Ny motto is death to
all strangers There is no danger of the
Yankees interfering with US as long as
the Southern states are kept out Of the I'm
ion; besides tho black man would side with
US, and may at any time pronounce against
the whites. Before VIC get through with the
foreigners the Yankees will think we are in
earnest, and the time will come when their
notables will be begging for their own heads
instead Of the AustriaIs:

THE PEABODY FUN IN VIRGINIA Be-
fore the Educational Association of Virginia
last week, the following resolutions were
presented with regard to the Peabody Edu-
cational Fund:
ResoEce0, |. That acknowledging the many
embarrassments which environ the trustees
in the discharge Of the responsible duty as
signed them, we are Of opinion that it would
be the wisest and most effective disposition
Of the fund to employ it in preparing prima-
ry teachers for the performance of their func-
tons, rather than in the bestowal of primary
instruction itself on pupils.
2. That we are Of the opinion (and yet not
without diffidencc) that it would be expedient
to select few Of the most suitable pupils, of
both sexes, from several leading Institutions
in different districts of the country, and as
sist them to perfect their education as prima-
ry school teachers for period of ten months
for every year that they shall receive such
assistance.
3 That it would not be unreasonable to re-
quire each beneficiary to give further writ
ten pledge that durir,g the period last named,
when in pursuance ofthe pledge previously
mentioned, such beneficiary is acting as pri-
mary teacher, he will give instructions in the
clements gratuitiously to at least two pupils.
4. That it might possibly be desirable IN
particular districts which may be unable to
support teacher without aid from cytrane-
Gus sources, to set apart a portion of the an
nual income of the Peabody fund to aid such
destitute districts.
