OUR CONSUL TO MArAM0RAs FINDS A HARD
ROAD TO TRAvEL.-We heard yesterday from Col.
James White lately appointed consul to Mats'
moras. We were called upon by Mr.. M. 8. Kyle,
who went out with Col White, and from his &C.
count of the place we believe Col. White is very
sick of his adventure. Col. White and Mr.. Kyle
arrived In Brownsville on the 9Th OF September
The first information that they got was the news
of the attempted assassination OF DR.. Scott, the
gentleman when White succeeded. He had been
shot at the same night in Mstamoras, and mar
rowlv escaped with his life. Somebody volun.
teered the information that the lives of American
citizens in Mstamoras would not be insured BY any
relisble insurance company, at any premium.
Mr.. Kyle stayed two weeks 10 Mstamoras. In
that time one ship came in. MIR. Kyle, as consul
clerk, was TO get his pay out Of the perauistes.
simple sum in arithmetic developed the TACT
that one ship monthly would not give enough per-
quisites to keep the consul In drinks and cigars,
let alone paying clerks salary so Mr.. Kyle left
and came home. He says Col. White would have
liked to come. but didn't think he could stand the
chat from the boys. Whether he will remain and
lay his bones in the country We cannot say. The
country around Brownsville il about ft for greas-
ers and savages. No white man would live IN II
for anything less than 100000 year. The
wolves run wild over the prairies. The principal
productions are dogs, mosquitoes and heas-the
later said to be an inch thick all over the land
The mosquitoes are of the kind called galnip'
pers, and extract thimbefull of blood ct every
nip. The only redeeming feature in the affair Il
the abundance of good brandy, with which the Re "
Americans there keep Col. White abundantly sup
plied.-(Knoxville (Tenn) Press. Oct. z.

accom- plished and excellent lady. and one Of our
esteemed friends in former years, Mrs. E. G.
Wharton, wife Of Major E. c. Wharton, both OF
whom were 60 well and favorably known 10 this

dark and dresry time were made beautiful aud
happy at the humble home Of Major Wharton, by
the assembling Of circle of ladies, and OF soldier
and citizen gentlemen, to Join In cultivated con-

charming musso which Mrs. Wharton could give

Southern Express Company TO pay charges. was
a box, supposed from its weight to contain paper

the box was marked " valusble-S500," and &C.
cordipg to custom in such cases. It was opened
and examined by the officers of the company.
They were not little surprised and startled to
discover that the iDnocent-iooking box contained
counterfeit United States fractional currency, 10
packages of ten or twenty dollars, to the enor.

That box was not sent TO the sale.
This box was eceived at the cypress ONCE In

The truth is, .he more peacefully and
quietly we get on, the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out OF ten, the
better course is, if a man cheats you,
cease to deal with him, if he is abusive,
quit his company; and if he SANDERS
you, take care to live so that nobody
will believe him. No matter who he is,

FEMALE AFFECTION.

Woman is not half so selfish creature
as mau. When man is in love, the OBJ
ject Of his passion is himself. When
women is enamoured of man she torgets
herself, the world and all it contains,
and wishes TO exist only for the object
of her affection. How few men make
any violent sacrifice to sentiment. How
many women does every man know who
have sacrificed fortunes and honors to
noble, pure and disinterested motives +!
A man mounts breach he braves
danger and obtains victory. This Is
glorious and great. He has saved his
country, and he has acquired fame, pre-
ferment, and riches. Whenever he app
pears, respect awaits him admiration ate
tends him, crowds press to meet him,
and theaters receive him with bursts Of
applause. His glory dies not with him.
History preserves his memory from
oblivion. That thought cheers his dy-
ing hour-and his last words, pronounc-
ed with feeble pleas ure are, l ShaN not
die.
A woman sends her husband to war
she lives but in that husband. Her
soul goes with him. She ;rembles for
his safety. Every billow that swolls
she thinks is to be his tomb every
ball that flies, she imagines IS directed
against him. A brilliant capital, ap-
pears to be dreary desert her uni
verse is man, and that man, her ter
rors tell her, is in danger. Her days
are days Of sorrow; her nights are
sleepless. She sits immovable in her
mourning, in all the dignity and COM
posure Of grief, like Agrippa in his
chair; and when at night she seeks &C.
pose, repose has fled her couch; the
silent tear steals down her check, and
vets her pillow or, if by chance, ex-
hausted nature finds an hours slumber,
her distempered soul sees in that sleep
q bleeding lover or his maugled corpse.
Time passes, and her grief increases,
until worn out at length by too much
tenderness, she ia lis victim of too ex-
quisite sensibility, and sinks with sor-
row to the grave No, colo, unfeeling
reader these are not the pictures of
my own creation. They are neither
