Top Mexioah Squabble.-—A chief difficulty ih getting at the truth of Mexi? oanaffairs throes from ; the fret that most of the fighting Is dope in the newspapers and by false raptors. War seems to be conducted very much like one of our po litical campaigns, and all the factions hasy themselves in circulating tremendous sto ries of their oWn victories, in order to t - v * : •_ • - frighten their opponents. The Vera Cruz newspapers are full of reported defeats of the iZnloaga party all over country, while the news from the city of Mexico indicates that’the actual goveramept-is in fact : .strengthening itself and suppressing all opposition.. it .seems to be tile fact that between Vera Cruz and the'ol^l l)aa been cutoff, anflthat the:<asue of Perote, which com mapdß the state of Vera Cruz on .the in land side, has fallen into the hands of the Zuloagists. And if \wo may believe the Vera Croz papers, Gen. Eoheagaray, by whom the castle was taken, has with shock ing cruelty ordered all the officers and ope fifkh of the men taken to be shot, in re venge for the assassination of Gen. Man ero and others by the liberals pt Zacatecas. The city of Vera Cruz is evidently in dan ger of attack hy u the government forces, from the fret that the military commander has ordered all who may scale the walls of the town to be shot, except boys'under eighteen* who are to be flogged. At the city of Mexico, Zuloaga was forcing an other contribution from the Capitalists, to provide far the defense of the city. Organization or .the Legislators. • —On Tuesday next, the Legislature of Pennsylvania will assemble atHarrisbstfg, to remain in session for one hundred days and transact such business as may cone before it. As a matter of course, there will be quite an exciting time in effecting an organization of both Houses, aa there are any number of self-sacrificing patriots who are anxious to serve their country in the -capacity Of Speakers, 'Clerks, Sergant at-anns. Poor-keepers, Messengers, &c., all claiming to have devoted their time and talents to promote the success of the party to whpinibelongs the ‘ spoils and plunder/ not a few of whom, most be doomed to disapointment. No doubt there may be found, in a few days after, quite a num ber of persons who merely came on busi ness, the particular nature of which they will not define Nothing like trying, how ever, and if one .man does hot succeed, he can console himself with the reflection that he has many partners in his jAversity. . Another .Arctic Expedition.--— Dr. Hays, who Wan with Dr. Kane in his Arc tic .expedition, is engaged in the organizaf tion of another establish the truth of the theory of an op<tn Polar Sea. The American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, favors. the enter prise as the most interesting problem in Arctic geography. The American Phil osophiical Society, the Academy of Natu ral Science, of Philadelphia, the American Society of Science and Arts in Boston, and tike J&wton Natural History Society have cbnwScred the matter and adopted zesolu tionfl favorablc to the project. \ ' President has reoonnderedlus pocial programme, and recently invited a number Republicans to take dinner with him. We understand that, like most ofhis hospitalities, these latter come “too late/' and that the Republicans, having . keen compelled to appease their hunger, during &p long session outside the Presi , dentil mansion, have resolved appease jtinthe same way during the short ses men.. It is now given out that not a sin- the Republican parly will -tave mahogany. • ' Tfc* SrKAKBBLSBriPB. —Promall that we ean learn, we think Bon.

Horrible Death.—Moses Bailey an em ployee atthe Washington Foundry, Baltimore, Ipd., wasroasted alive at the furnace of that es tablishment on Tuesday afternoon. He had been sentinto Hie cupalo to attend to something, and fell into the furnace, overcame it is supposed, by the fumes of the charcoal. Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg, in a re cent oh&iige to a Grand Jury, said that the noisy collections of men and boys called “ Calithnm pians,” who frequently annoy newly married people, are nuisances,. and snbjcct to severe punishment, and that it is the duty of constables to arrest [those participating.

Thb Beneficiaries op Divobcb Laws. —The Chicago Tribune thus classifies those unhappy persons who seek Indiana from abroad for the purpose of finding relief under the divorce laws of that State: Grass-widows, with whom husbands would not live; grass-widowers, with whom no decent woman could live; strong-minded woman, who claim as God-given the right to say how many children they shall have and by whom they shall be fathered; strong-minded men, who agreo, with strong-minded women in their theo ries, and lend their aid in carrying them out; fast woman, who feel that all husbands are nui sances ; fast men, who prove the fact, in part; silly Woman, who have married ita haste and are repenting at leisure; silly men, ditto, ditto ; un fortunate woman, who find themselves tied to sots, beasts or debauches; these sots, beasts and debauches who hate the purity and innocency of these have by thousands, literally by thousands, sought the benefit of laws which Indiana was foolish enough to enact. Important Railroad Movement. —The Chi cago Tribune learns that a new feature has been introduced into railroading recently, that of carrying wheat through to New is thought to be of some importance. The Cleve land and Toledo Road has agreed, we under stand, to take wheat in bins or barrels from ToledcK to New York at 66 cents per 100 lb., and to intermediate points in the State of New York at proportionate rates. Some parcels have already gone forward and with satisfac tory results. The four East and West lines have agreed to put wheat in bags or barrels at the same rate as flour, calling 216 lb. a barrel. The movement was inaugurated, we believe, by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Road, as we saw a notice of the arrival of a lot of wheat at New York, which was shipped over that road from Chicago, before we heard tbe subject mentioned in any other quarter. For transporting such qualities of wheat as are in demand by tbe eastern millers, this arrange ment may prove advantageous. A small keg of brass fillings worth per haps two dollars, was sold recently to parties in Newark, N. J., as gold dust, for five hundred dollars, the parties selling representing them selves as in pressing need of money and willing to sell at a great sacrifice. When the “ dust” was taken to New York, the old adage was found true, that all is not gold that glitters. One of the swindlers was arrested, but indig nantly repudiated any intention of swindling.— He said there bad been a mistake in the keg taken, that he would make it all right; and, as an evidence of his sincerity, insisted that the “ diddled” individuals should “ keep a bar of gold” till he should rectify the error.' This was accepted, and be went off to correct the mistake. It is needless to say that be never returned, or that the bar of gold turned cut to be a bar of iron galvanized. BgL. The apportintment for members of Con gress, under the census of 1860, will make a great change in the representation of several States, judging from the votes at the recent elec tion' im some of the Western States. Illinois, with nine members of Congress, Las given 250,- 000 votes, while Massachusetts, with eleven representatives, gave only 120,000. Wisconsin, with only three representatives, hat given a vote within a fraction of that of Massachusetts. Compared with the votes of many other States, the discrepancy is still greater. The elections at the West were, however, held under'greater excitement, and called out a fuller vote than in most of the old States: A Boy Ties Himself to the Tail op a Cow. —A most distressing death occurred in Rappa hannock county, Virginia, a day or two since, A little son of Mr. John T. Corder, near Flint Hill, left the house with a negro to drive some cow’s to a point not far distant. In a few min utes the negro returned and stated that the lit tle fellow, who was about nine years of age, had tied himself to a cow’s tail ahd had been badly hurt. The father proceeded to the spot, abouj a mile from the house, and there found the lit ' tic boy tied to the tail, of a cow by a rope around the waistlf He was dead, having been dragged some distance, and his body shockingly mutila ted. , Silver Coin. —The market in New York is said to - be overburdened with the depreciated silver coins of the United States. The proposi tion of the directory of the mint, that these coins should be made legal tender to the amount of fifty or one hundred dollars in one lot, would give them additional currency. As it is at present, the banks in that city decline receiving them- in large sums, and object to taking over $6 of thein at a time. The brokers have put up notices at their wmdows offering to sell “ U. S. silver coins” at J a f per cent, discount. Mill Swept Away — Man Drowned. —On Tuesday morning, the saw-mill of A. J. Bonnett, Esq., on Glade Ron, some four miles below Kit- Janning, Pa., was swept away by a rise in the stream. At the time, the proprietor and James Dunlap, a hired man, were on the mill. The former clung to some of the timbers, and was saved by persons on the shore, while the latter (supposed to have been struck by some of the falling timbers) was drowned in the stream. Stretching Times —An impatient Welshman called to his wife, “ Come, isn’t the breakfast ready ? I’ve had nothing since yesterday, and to-morrow will be the third day!” This is equal to the Call of the stirring housewife, who roused her maid at 4’Oolook with -“ Come Bridget, get dpi Here ’tis Monday morning, to-morrow’s Tuesday, next day’s Wednesday—half the creek’s gone, and nothing done yet I” Hogs, smothered in tne railroad c(aa K arc bought op and sold in the Eastern cities, by a set of rascally' butchers who degrade .their honorable calling. Honest butchers should de test and make an example of some of the ril luae. ■ ' ' . Cambria Codbtt. —hve clip the following Hems froth the Johnstown Echo, sTlast week ; Sxntxkcb or ABKJrTßO».— William Aron true, convicted during the first week of pur- Court of nmnslanghter, for the killing ofHborgo Beam ish, was, on Saturday test, sentenced to four years and six months imprisonment in the West «n Penitentiary. In passing this sentence upon the prisoner, Judge Taylor took occasion, to re mind him that it was the ananimons opinion of the Court that he.(Arentrne) should have been convicted of murder in the second degree—an opinion wbioh we think will awaken a response in the heart of every law-biding citixen of the county. If the decision‘of any jury ever em panelled in such a trial as this was tempered with mercy, it was the one that* declared Aren true guilty of manslaughter. Even those who felt the moat abiding interest in the welfare of the prisoner, and were the most anxious that a merciful view should bo taken “of his crime, could not, with a proper understanding of the facts of the case, have looked tor less than a conviction for murder in the second degree, and they have good reason to rejdioe that snob a de cision was not rendered. An Almost Fatal Rekcontek.— Scarcely had the curtain fallen upon the last scene dn the Arcntrue trial; and ere it was known amongst us what disposition had been made of the pris oner, our community was shocked by another of those terrible results of passion too frequent ly transpiring in our midst. During the progress of a railing faatch at the grocery and liquor store of D. on Raifroad Street, about 8J o’clock, on Satur day i evening last, a misunderstanding arose be tween two men named' Oliver Lenhart and Michael MoTigne, and after the bandying be tween them of various unmentionable epithets, the latter, it appears from the evidence ad “duced on the preliminary examination, picked up the poker and threatened to run Lenhart through, when he (Lenhart) took from the counter a weight, (size undetermined,) which he threw at MoTigne, striking him on the forehead and fracturing his skull, portions of wbioh were shortly after removed from the brain by Dr. Yeagley. Although in a critical condition, it is thought that MoTigne will recover, if infiama- tion of the brain docs not supervene. Lcnhart was immediately arrested, and after a bearing, was, on Monday, bound over in the sum of $5OO for bis appearance at the next term of our Coart to answer tbe charge preferred against him. Fight Between Eleven Hcsdeed Hobbes. —Southey, iu. his History of the Peninsular War, relates the following; “ Two of ihe Span ish regiments which had beeii quartered in Funan were cavalry, mounted; on fine black longtailed Andalusian horses. It was impossi ble to bring off tbeso horses-t-about 1100 in number—and Romano was not aj man who could order them .to be destroyed ; he was fork! of horses himself, and know that every man was attached to his beast, which had carried aim so far and so faithfully. Their bridles were there fore taken off, and they were turned loose upon the beach. A scene ensued such as was never before witnessed. They became sensible that they were, n®,longer under the restraint of any human power. N ?. A general conflict ensued, in which, retained the discipline they bad learned, they charged each other in squadrons of ten oi? twelve togeth er, then closely engaged, striking with their fore feet, and biting and tearing each other with moat ferocious rage, and; trampling over those who were beaten down, £ilf tbe shore in the course of an hour was strowii with the'dead and disabled. Port of them had been set free on rising ground at a distance. : They no soon er beard the roar of tbe battle,-than they came thundering down over tbe intertnediate hedges, and catching the contagious madness, plunged into the fight with equal fury. > Sublime os the scene was, it was too horrible; to be long con templated, and Romano, in mercy, gave orders to destroy them. But it was found too danger ous to attempt this, and after tire last boat had quitted tbe beach, thp few horses that remained, were still engaged in'tho dreadful work of mu tual destruction.” A sad scone—the effect of brutal pas sion, of-woak despondency, and of rum-drinking degradation—was exhibited at the central po lice station, Baltimore, Maryland, on Tuesday last. In one room were the bodies of three men, all the victims of violent death. One was the remains of young Connary, killed in a mo-, ment of insensate and drunken fury by bis own brother; the other that of a German, Casimir Smith, who had premeditately taken his own life ; and the other that of a brawny specimen of manhood, found drowned, and bearing still the unmistable impress of the drunken debauch during which he bad stumbled unconsciously into eternity..
