ICO.-Wr are Indebted to the politeness
of Cap. J. W. Noyes, a passenger on
board the steam packet Neptune, from
Galveston, for au extra of the Civilian,
containing the following interesting in
telligence.
By the steamer Dayton which arrived
this morning from Houston, we have re ,
ceived intelligence that the centralists.
under Arista, dud the federalists, under
Canales and Zapata, have had a Woody
engagement, near Mier, on the Rio Gran
de, in which the federalists were totally
routed with great numbers killed and
wounded, the exact number not being
known. . .
Those who escaped retreated in great
confusion to San Antonio. The central
ists, in pursuit, were reported to be with
in one day's march from the town, and
Col. Fisher of the Texan army, in com
mand of three companies, had despatch
ed an express to the President for instruc
ttons as to the manner in which he should
receive Canales. A messenger was int
mediately returned by the President, bu
the nature of the instructions sent is no:
precisely known. It is stated, but witi
what truth, we know not, that a truce has
been agreed upon with Mexico, and it is
thought by some that Arista may remain
some twenty miles from San Antono, and
send to demand the surrender of the fed
eralists. Others doubt whether, even it
this should be the case, he will not at
tack the town if he sees a prospect of ta
king it.
Col Fisher has only about one hundred
and sixty men under his command; but it
is believed that, with the assistance of the
citizens of the town, he can hold out, it
attacked, until three hundred troops, un
der Cul Burleson can arrive from Austin,
with the volunteers, who would immedi•
ately fly to arms.—N. 0. Bee.
A CLosz HITCII.—Mr. Miller, who
prophecied that the world was to come to
a termination some time in 1843. was late
ly in want of funds to defray the expen.,e
of publishing his hook, and applied to a
gentleman fur a loan. The gentleman
agreed to lend him the money, provided
Miller would give him in return a deed of
a farm which Miller owns, the deed to
take effect in 1845, two years after the
time Mr. M. marks out fur the final de
struction of all the farms on the face of
the earth. But Mr. Miller refused to
give this ♦!red io ~x cliatige for $5O cash,
which shows that there is some hope that
Mr. M, is a little out in his calculation.

INCREDIBLE.—The Baltimore Post tells
a story of a landlord, anxious to get pos
session of a little house occupied by a
poor widow and her infant, who engaged
an officer, notorious for his brutality of
his nature, to effect this object. Chuck
ling with delight, the brutal officer pur
sued his errand, and gained admission to
the house. The mother refused to leave
it--the snow was deli upon the ground,
and she had no other place of shelter.
Watching his opportunity, the officer
caught the infant from the cradle, and
pitched it out of the window upon a snow
Lank. The mother rushed out to snatch
herbabe from the cold couch 'in which its
shiverin.i. ' form was partly buried, and
the officer took the opportunity to lock
the door, and secure possession.

'The Standard" has a most wondrous
funny article in it, calling upon every
one concerned, to give any information
relative to an eld lady that has harrassed
the writer of the article alluded to, and all
his coadjutors, for a number of years in
this county—Anti-Maso try. It seems
to us that it would be equally as funny if
the sapient conductors of that sheet had
advertised for the principles of their party
—for it proclaimed that they had been
abandoned"—now why not ad•
vertise fur its own losses? That the party
and its principles, aye, and many of its
men, are abandoned, no one, who has cyst
marked them, can doubt. "Aunty Ma
aonry"—we can tell you where she was
last seen—attending the funeral train of
old mount 111oriah—and when the old
Harlot was quietly interred in the toniL
of forgetfulness, she willingly exchanged
her surname fur another, and can now be
found and recognised in Aunty Vanburen
ism. The old lady was, as her name im•
ports, always a despiser of all kinds of
humbug, or "tyrant' over the mind of man"
—and when she found that she had dri
ven to the grape, that most despicable of
all humbugs, and worst of all tyrants, the

next in the order of humbugs—Loco Fo

against that mother of all abominations-_I

.'Old Virginny never tire.”
The State election in Virginia has just
been concluded, and the way the Demo
crats made the Loco Foco's .clare de ,
kitchen" is a caution to Davy Crochet.—'
a hat will be the actual result cannot be
stated at present, yet enough is ascertain
ed to know that Van Burenism is com
pletely routed in the "Old Dominion."
The great init tntance of this electiu.
to the Vanites can well be understood
when it is known that there are to be two
United States Senators elected by this
Legislature ; and owing to that cause
they fought with the desperation of a for
lorn hope. yet they fought in vain. The
ved of delusion is fast leasing the eyes of
the people, and they see that they are the
victims of office holding knaves. The
days of the plunderers ale numbered, we
see it in every election. Old Virginia—
the land of Thomas Jefferson, has shaken
off the shackels Of party vassalage and de
clared herself, like the apostle of democ
racy, the foe to Tyrants and the people's
friend. Well done Virginia—well done
deciples of Jefferson. “Thy foes shall
oppress the no tome. Pennsylvania is
waiting but the appointed time and tillo
will join you in the ranks of freedom from
party slavery.
Van Buirenibm in the decline
It appears to be a universally admitted
fact that no National Convention for the
nomination of a President and Vice Pres•
ident will be held by the Van Buren party•
They have become disiheartened& broken
,down in spirit, in the positive assurance
that they see every where, that their
power must soon pass into other hands.
Each day brings the glad tidings of defeat
somewhere, every new exchange paper
tells us that the honest are leaving the
ranks of Van Buren and flocking in
scores to the standard of old Tippecanoe.
We have now under our eye the open,
candid and public renunciatiatiun of John
M'Elvain, Esq., of Columbus Ohio. Mr.
M'Elvain, (so says the ..Ohio State
Gazette,") "was one of the first of Jack
son's supporters, and always stood high in
the Van Buren party—he has repeatedly
been called to honorable stations,—was,
in 1838, the candidate of the Van Buren
party fur Congress—was a member of
the State Committee of that party no
longer ago than this winter!" Such 'is
le man who has shaken ott the shackles
of party. Below you will find his letter,
we have excluded several articles intend
ed for this week to make room for it.
Can an an:: one doubt that Van Buren
ism is in the decline when such men leave
the party, and when that party, consci
ms of its tottering condition, date not
risk a Natioaal Convention, certain that
t must be a failure—and conscious too,
hat the elements of party strife would
.tir up contentions, and discord even in
hat convention. But read the letter ;
ind to every honest Van Buren man we
lay, come fly to the banner of the Log
Cabin Boys—Come while there is roots
.n the ranks of the Hero of North Bend.
Ah, Indeed !
"The slanderers of his (Porter's) law
ire ready to leceire him with open arms,
is soon as he has made up his mind to turn
iraitor to those who honored him with
heir con fidence."- -Standard.
Ah, indeed! Then he is making up his
mind to turn traitor, is lie? You begin to
suspect that he is willing to serve you a
trick the never will—leave you?
This is really a little strange, Mr. Stand •
and man. is it a fact, that he really is
about giving you the slip? You certainly
make an insinivation of that sort. Well
how this illustrates what you always said,
that Potter was a cunning man. lie is
too cunning to stick to your sinking craft.
There are a great many doing the same
thing. They are all received like return
ing prodigals—with open arms.
To-day the special election in Bedford
county takes place, to fill the vacancy ocs
casioned by the expulsion of McElwee.
The Loco Focos denounced poor Tom as
a traitor, and nominated a man by the
name of McDonald—poor Colonel. The
Harrison men have nominated David
ltashabaugh.

l'his is a most gratifying triumph for the
whigs of Georgta, where it has hitherto
been supposed that Harrison had hardly
obtainyil a foothold. There is a silent, but
sure and radical change going, on in thai.
State in favor of Harrison II hich two
months ago was thought to he entirely out
of the question. The whigs held a large
meeting in Milledgeville, to elect dele
gates to a State Convention which is about
to be held, and instructed them to vote
for Harrison and T ler. This is a most
favorable sign. There is good grounds for
believing that Georgia will go fur the old
Hero.
ANOTHER FROM I OUISIANA
The NO) igs have elected their slayor in
N. Orleans for the first time for many
years, by a largt, majority. They have
also elected the majority of both branches
of the council.
'STILL ANOTHER FROM MISSOURI
The Charter Election for Mayor and
Aide' men, was held in St Louis on the
6th inst. There being a dtvisiun in the
whig ranks, two of that party running for
Mayor, the loco linos ventured to put a
Candidate in the field. The regular whig
candidate for Mayor was elected, and of
'the four wards the Whiga carried three.
This is the reputed residence of Mr T.
Benton. The following it the vote for
