EQrWe have of late been very much "perplexed by being frequently informed Sbafc' many of our subscribers do not ru 'ceive their papers regularly. Some coin plain that they do not receive thcru half tho time, while others do not get them more than threo times out of four. Some censure us most bitterly, and would justly do so, if the fault were oars. For Tt is exceedingly annoying to-get on ly an occasional number of a paper when the whole of them are expected and ought to come to hand. All persons who subscribe for a paper have a right to re ceive them promptly, without any unne cessary delay. We have alwaj's been vory careful to mail to each of our subscribers a copy of our paper and to effect tins result we fake particular pains, always going over our packages and subscription list at least twice, so that it is almost an impossibility .for us to make a mitake. Now Messrs. Port Masters, where can; this mistake be? It is certainly between you and us; and wc are satuGcd that i.' you perform your part as well as we do our?, that our subscriber" will have no occasion to find fault. We will thauk each of our subj-ciibers hereafter who should fail to receive his paper, to prompt lv notify u of it; aud wo will cudcavoi to trace the fault to its source.

The body was found in very good con dition upon being disiuterred, and Many persons who had seen it at tho time the inquest was held expressed the opinion that it had not been in the water a week when found. Mr. J. R.

Q'he acts of Barbarity whicb have, been committed hero in the past eight 'Stays, are of such an atrocious, wanton and blood-thirsty character, that one shud ders at tho mere thought of them. I confess, that in endeavoring to uarrate them, my blood chills and my heart nek ens to think of theso deeds made more odious and aggravated by the apathy bhowu by those who should,, in the uame of humanity and civilization, have come forward to staunch the river of haman blood,- and stay the hellish feast. Ou the II th inst., the Federals were driven from Tabucaya, paitiaily by a dis play of force, but principally, it is believ ed, by the treachery of some of their own general officers. Tho affair cost be Gov ernment very dearly, for every brave blouse who bit the dust, at least a dozen of' tho Government troops went down to ri?e no riiore. The battle was a sanguin ary one, and was gallantly sustained by the few fighting men of the Federal armj all the Pintoss having run off at once, without firing a guu, and thus exposiug about liOOO of their comrades to contend with 5n00 Government troops and forty pieces of artillery. The battle commenc ed at seven in the morning, aud lasted until after ten, when the superiority of the Government urtillcrj told fearfully upon the riflemen of the Federalists, and they were forced to retreat, carrying nearly all their sick and wounded with them, j The Government troops entered Tacu baya at about half past eleven, and find- iug but few of their wounded opponents to reveugw themselves upon, they com meneed a most merciless persecution of all and every defenceless perron in lbefI. place. Tho-eoldicrs were given aguardi cute to drink, and soon becoming wildly drunk, they fell upon all those who were at all suspected of having aided the,Fed-Lnv erali?ts, and carried them off, in the most brutal manner to places of confine ment. The surgeons who had volunteer- ed their services to aid tho wounded of hospital, were, while engaged intheir hu- nauc work, dragged to prison, and still ooiu paruus wuo uau oeen urougui, 10 me more worse, on the same uigUt, shot like dogs and afterward nakedly exposed iu thejafzo of the Church of San Dieo, in iaeubaya, for the gratification of those who believe tho oause of God was served by this fiendi.-h brutality. Several laut officers, who had beeu cut off and ta ken prisoners, with . several quiet citizens were sbot at the same time with the Sur- scon Thc work commenced that ni2ht las eoutiuued, with little iutenuptiou, to tnc present time. uow many innocent NlVes have been thus ruth.lsjdy cut off God only knows. The general order ? to "shoot and not report.1' I learn from a person who has a right to know, that o vcr ono hundred persons have been al- ready sacrificed and still tho work goes on.

Mr. Barron was a British subject. He came to Mexico soon after the independ ence, and commenced business at Mazat lan. His wealth grew with hh years, and he became more and more wealthy; he continually increased his enterprising la bors. The town of Topic owes all its present greatness to him.

It has been the Gol couda of the age, aud has euriched all parties interested in it. Mr. Barron may with justice have been called one of the most enterprising and public spirited men in Mexico. Ho was noble and generous, a good friend aud a determined enemy. As a private person ho has played a con- picuous part in Mexico, perhaps more than any other person. His loss at this time may bo considered a great one, for he was ono of the most clear-headed mcu. and bis advice always was courted by tho temporary governments and foreign min isters. Dr.. John Duval was assassinated in Tacubaya; by the Clergy party, April 11, Itiou. 1 his gentleman, as he wan walk ing out to be ohot, asked one of his com rades, also sentenced to be shot, but who has escaped, to write to his friends aud et them kuow his fate. Dr. Duval is sup posed to have come with the Federalist- rom the Texas frouticr, and has a family in the United States or England. He is understood to have been an American cit-i zen, nut the circumstance of his having . . . asked to see the British Minister before being shot, leads to the supposition that he was an Englisman by birth. All who met him in Taoubaya speak of him as a largo uized man; very gentlemanly iu his manners and eloquent in his lauguage. As this may bo tho only means of com municating tho sad tiding.- to his bereav ed family and friends, newspapers in the United States and England, aro request ed to copy.

Late advices represent the rro of the waters of,..thp lower Mississippi as of an' .alarming-character. The numerous cre vasses bavo.' resulted in the overflow of large tracts of the lower country, and tbe destruction of stock, cjops and improve ments to an almost incalculable amount. From Memphis down, the rivor is dc; scribed as spreading on cither hand like a sea, and the marks of desolation are ev erywhere visible. Scores of plantations and villages are cither overflowed or ren dered almost uninhabitable by the mould with which the surrounding moisture has' covered every dwelling. Tho houses" which are built on pillars, thus suffering the water to run freely beneath, arc stilt occupied.

The Louisville Journal, after a calm survoy of the whole matter. arrives at tho conclusion that there are just three things that can't be ''did." They are as follows j No man will ever be convicted in the" North of aiding the escape of, fugitive slaves; no one will ever bo convicted in the South of participating in the slave trade or lynching a suspected frcc-soiler' and no one will ever Le convicted in an section of murdering the seducer of b?3 wife, or sister or daughter. The Fruit Crop Good Hews. The Pittsburg Chronicle sa-ys tba ?bo Agricultural Society of that coutrty held a meeting yesterday, at which the condi tion of tho fruit crop was discussed at length. Ths different members reported the state of the fruit buds in their respect ive neighborhoods, and gave it as their opinion, made up after a careful investi gation of the matter, that thus far tho fruit is comparatively safe, and that a bountiful crop may be expected. This will be good news to .our readers, and' housekeepers, who, from the reports which followed tbe late frost, began to fear thatf putting up preserves tbe comsng summer with frmt at "famine prices," would bo out of the question, will bceathe freer ip consequence, rrom otner districts, wo have reports equally as satisfactory, so that all apprehension for the safety of the crop may now be said to have fairly van ished. jSTew York Markets.
