A correspondent of the New York Her- I aid, under the date of March 27th, writ- ing from Cordova, in Mexico, gives au ac- . ii. j: c .. i i v.: - 1 T" ue , , l01 L ," lu r?ut ine. i110"11 miles nortuweat Ja,sPa- Ihis discovery was made by Gen. 3'0, late of the Confederate army, who . novf eugagca m maKing surveys in tnat 1 country, lie is accompanied by a Air Chapman, sou of the celebrated American artist, who sives a irlowinir account of the j beauty of the scenery in that vicinity.- 1 We cut the following from the communi cation referred to : After a dangerous and wearisome work ; the lost city was finally reached, and for the first time the foot of the Anglo Saxon pressea us streets, wuii awe ana won t r i - i i nf'.t t der the party gazed upon the works of an extinct race. Trees hundreds of years old were growing among the ruins, show ing that the city had been abandoned be fore the days of Cortez, and the architect ure of the building is of an order before unknown upon this continent: Some few houses are in a tolerable state of preserva tion, and still habitable, while their walls are adorned with paiutings of rare beauty and merit. Uarved doorways and images abound in every street, evincing in their former inhabitants a knowledge of the fine arts not found among the most civi lized aboriginal races. Most remarkable of all is. some of these sculptures indicates among the people the existence of the Christian religion. Places of worship are said to be numerous, and upon the re verse of a statuette of a man is carefully carved that emblem of Christianity, the cross. Whence this race or .what their fate is a mystery. The existence of this city is unknown to the Aztecs, and not a tradi tion concerning them is extant among the Indians, who when spoken to respecting them reply, " An'tique," "Antique." The doors of the house were generally closed with rock?, showing the abandonment of the city to have been a preconcerted movement; but whether this was caused by civil wars, fears of savage foes or earth quakes is mere conjecture. MY. Rudkins is a spry old gentleman of sixty, but having never been married, passed off for forty-five, and would like to take tcu off of that. During the cold weather, when the New-York Central Park pond was in fine order for skating, the old gent got a splendid pair of shiners i i.i. it i anu unuertooK to display ins vouthiul igility in the midst of his friends and the public generally. It was hard work to siet them on j but he was ready at last, and boldly strikiugout, one leg went north, the other south, and down he came, as solid and square as a judge on the bench.

A good story is told of Wigfall, who. O J n J at the collapse of the rebellion, fell into .. .... 1 r . r tt ' iv the vicinity of a party of Union sokkors iu Texas. Beinir well dismiised, lie en tercd freely into conversation with the soldiers of the guard, and in the course of the conversation asked what they would do with old Wigfall if they were to catch him. "Oh, we would haug him, certain," was the reply. "And you would serve him right," replied Wigfall. "If I should be with you I have no doubt I should be pulling at the end of the roj)c myself! The double entendre was not suspected, und its wit was therefore lost, but it is worth producing now. The Fenian movement against Canada is entirely suppressed. Some of the rougher sort, hailing from the city of New York, made a poor return for the free transportation given them by the Government. On Wednesday night of week before last, three car-loads of them on the- Hudson River Railroad commit ted a serious of outrages. Besides de stroying freight on the trayi, they robbed a hotel at Tivoli, and threw one of their number out of the wiudow while the train was in motion. Hew Postal Regulations. According to the new postal law just approved by tho President, prepaid and free letters are to bo forwarded at the re quest of the party addressed, from onepest olfice to another without additional pos tage charge, and returned lottcra are to be returned to the writer thereof, free of postage. Tho Population of New Jersey. According to the recent state census New Jersey has now a population of sev en hundred and seventy-three thousand and seven hundred, which is a gain in five yeaYs of over a hundred thousand, Hudson and Essex counties exhibit the largest relative increase.
