Later from Metamoras—Rettorted Es.. l

Orleans Picayune of March 2d, says the
aehr. Emblem, Capt. Kinney, arrived at
that city on the Ist inst. from Metamoras,
which port she left on the 19th orFebrua
ry.
The Captain reports that on the 22d,
white laying of the bar waiting for a pilot,
news came that the prisoners who were
captured at Mier, with Col. Fisher) had
`risen upon their guard at Saltillo, overpow
ered them after a short struggle, and start
ed in hot haste for Texas. Frain Saltillo
to the Rio Grande there is a direct road,l
and titeiCol. Jordan once made a successful
eseapefroin near the same point with a
less number of men, it is mote than prob
able that Fisher's men will be able to do
the same thing. provided they were able
710 seeute a sufficiency of arms and ammu-
Vidon to fight their way through.
We are fearful, however, so many false .
'reports are started and circulated in Mex
ico. that the attempt to escape was not
anale, although there is much to confirm
ea in the opinion that the brave followers
a Col. Fisher are ag lin at liberty. In
confirmation, it is reported that Col. Kin
.ney,- who was about taking passage for the
• ittrited States, had been arrested after the
mblem left. Metamoras, on suspicion of
having some hand in assisting the Texan
prilihners to escape.

"We have seen a Darker night than
this."—From published statements of the
condition of the country during the years
from 1818 to 1823, we find that we are
now enjoying 'good times' now compared
with.then. It is a hiatoi ical fact, says the
Philadelphia Chronicle, that in one season
of the year, 1819, there were ten thousand
able-bodied men in New Yolk, daily seek.
ing for employment, or, adding the w 0..,
men, twenty thousand persons who de•
sired something to do. in Philadelphia,
twenty thousand persons were ire the like
condition; and in Baltimore, ten thousand
were in unsteady employment, Let it be
remembered, too, that the cities were not
at that time half as populous es they are
now, so that for the present distress to
equal the past. it must yet increase con.
siderably. Neither is the fall of prices
now near 205 great as they wete then,
nor has the value of real estate deprecia
ted to any thing like the same uextent.

Heirrisburg Correspondence.
HAZIWISURON, March 14, 1843.
Gentlemen:
Since I last wrote, the Bill to district the
State into congressional Districts, has m
ourned a great many shapes. It has pas,.
sed and repassed from one branch of the
Legislature to the other no lesethan four
times, and each time it has presented a dif•
ferent phase. The House, on yesterday,
adopted a Bill which, with one or two ex
ception 4, was teported by Mr. Bra wley—
this was an amendment, according to the
rules, to the Senate amendment. Well,
this amendment was acted upon by the
Senate and rejected. To day, the Bill was
sent back to the House, with an amendment
by the Senate. The question will come tp
on to-morrow OD this second Senate amend
ment. Whether it will be adopted or not,
I am unable to atty.
In the House, this morning, the "Reform
Bill," as it is usually termed, was under
consideration—or rather this Bill was made
the pretext for a discussion in which some
of the members abused each other most
outrageously. The utmost latitude was
allowed in the debate—crimination and re.•
crimination followed in quick succession,
and it was supposed that another commit.
tee would be necessary to settle "a difficul
ty" between two gentlemen who evinced a
most pugnacious disposition. However
the affair passed off in a "war of words."
In the afternoon, a paper addressed to the
speaker, was got up and signed by mem•
bers, witting that in case better order was
not kept, they would he bound in hon
-
or to resign an,! go home. Mr. Elton of
Chester first started it, and I understand
that it has been already signed by fifty six
members! Mr. E. intends, I have been
told, to present it to-morrow in a public
manner to the speaker.
The "reform bill" did not, as a matter of
course, when gentlemen were so intently
engaged in vilifying each other, make much
progress. Mr. Lowry's amendment, to re•
duce the salaries of all parties, is yet pend.
in 4. The original bill merely refers to the
contingent expenses of the two Houses of
the Legislature, whielt it limits. The ar
gument used by those °posed to the amend' \
meat is that it is only intended to clog the
bill , and defeat its passage in the Senate.
There have been a great many private bills'
passed within a few days. The afternoon I
sessions are appropriated exclusively to
their consideration.
I understlnd that a new paper, to he styl
ed the "Harrishurgh:Arva," will make its
app •arance in a few day.. What c. , urse
it will take on the Presidential Question, I
cannot say. It is stated however that it will
not commit itself in favor of any one of the
candidate', particularly, but wiil an it the
decision of the National Convention. The
