jYxoxher Star Added to the Galaxy
of oijr Union. Wisconsin, the thirtieth
State, became a member of our confederacy
by a vote of the U. S. Senale on the 19th.
"We have now thirty States. Wisconsin con-
tains about 90.000 sqt are miles of tenttnt y
two-thirds larger than all New England, and
fully as large as New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania combined. Let them come
our territory is broad enough for thirty more.
The nomination of Gen Cass for the office
of President, and Gen. Buller for that of Vice
President, appear to give general satisfaction
to the people of this Stale. The opposition
to these nominations as manifested thus far,
is so trifling that it hardly deserves the name,
and we consider it almost useless to make an
effort to sustain the nominations. Texas h
so thoroughly Democratic that every journal
in the State might maintain a strict neutrality,
and yet, the Democratic ticket would doubtless,
be elected by an almost unanimous vote.
The few attempts that the Whigs have made
to organize a respectable party in this Stale,
have proved so abortive, that they appear to
be discouraged with themselves ; and it would
be rather ungenerous for us to belabor and
pommel the poor fellows, when they have ac-
tually placed themselves in the most abject
and humble of positions. They have not
even an electorial ticket to sustain, and even
if they had, we question whether they would
not be so ashamed to show how far they are
in the minority, that most of them would
neglect to attend the polls. One of the most
staunch Whigs that we have ever'discovcred
in this State, informed us the other day,
that he considered the prospects of the party
so discouraging that he would willingly vote
for Gen. Cass, but he had once declared that
he "might during his life vote for one Demo-
cratbut could not stand two." He could vole
for Gen. Cass because he respected him in
private life, but he could not vote ibr Butler.
He was in a worse predicament than when
he voted for
" Tippecanoe
And Tyler too."
Most of his Whig brethren in this Slate, are
probably as much at a lo'ss what course to
pursue as this individual. We would respect-
fully advise them to vote for one of the Demo-
cratic electors. Dr. Miller, for instance, he
is such an "old settler' that he can settle all
their conscientious scruples. He emigrated
to Texas long before the Whig party or the
Locofoco party originated, and although there
is no doubt that he and his colleague Gen.
T. G. Brooks will vote for Cass & Butler,
yet both parties may claim him as their can-
didate. The Whigs can deny positively that
he is a Locofoco, and the Locofocos can deny-
as positively that .he is a Whig. There,
therefore, is a ground to rest an argument
upon, and it is almost as substantial as any
that the Whigs in any part of the Union can
find to rest their opposition upon. .They raise
a hue and cry against the Democrats, but
since thetariff and bank questions are settled,
and thewar closed, they have no substantial
ground for opp6sition to the Democratic parly.
Galveston axd Red Riveh Rail Road. The edi-
tor of the Bonham Argus appears to be in extacies be-
cause a public meeting has been held at Galveston to
take into consideration the practicability of construct-
ing a Rail Road from Galveston to Red River. The
peoplo of Bonham and its neighborhood were quite
contented with the advantages of soil and climate that
they enjoyed befora this project was started, but now
it appears they will never be contontcd again unless
the read is completed. The editor of the Argus says .
"Since the moment we first heard of the application
to our Legislature for a charter, we have advocated
the measure with our utmost zeal. We have said, and
say again, that this section of the State is not worth a
copper without the Rail Road."
Wo are sorry to hear our friend of tho Argus
speaking so despairingly of that section. If the coun-
try is not -worth a copper without this rail road, wo
advise him and his fellow sufferers to migrate at once .
for there is just as little probability that the road will
bo completed within the next twenty years as there was
before the public meeting was held at Galvestou. The
fact is that there is not avilable capital enough in the
State to construct this road, and if there were, there is
not one hundredth part of the population iu the com-
merce on tho whole line to euablo capitalists to real-
ize an income of one per cent on the capital that
would be required to complete it.
Cauanciie Fiamv A gentleman, by the name of
A. F. Soape, was introduced to us, by Col. B. H. Dur-
ham, the other evening, who stated that he was in the
battle which CapL Henry M'CulIoch, with seventy
Texan Rangers, had with, as was supposed two hun-
dred Camancho Indians, five miles above the city of
Austiu, in Texasi on the thrid of April. He said it
was a desperate engagement. Capt M'CulIoch lost
four men killed, and about sixty horses killed or ren-
dered useless. Forty Camanches were left dead on
the field of battle. "The Camanches retreated, audi
were followed fifteen or twenty miles. Jefferson
Democrat.
The above is but a new edition of the absurd ru-
mor which first appeared in the Victoria Advocate a
few weeks since. Mr. Soapo had as little to do in a
battle with the Camanches, at the period stated
cs the soap locks of Broadway in New York, or those
of Fhiladelphix The fact is, no batllo was fouiht
with Camanches, and we advise our brother of the
Democrat to bo duly cautious before ho receives an-
other application of soft soap.
We have recently had a great abundance of
rain in this vicinity, and if it has extended into
the surrounding country, which we have no
doubt of, thecrops will feel the benefit of it.
The want of a mail from New Orleans
cuts off all our chance for news from the East,
and our political items must be raw, unless made
up of the speculation of our own brain. We
could almost wish that all of Uncle Sam's
bravo troops would stay and pound the Mexi-
cans a little longer, (for we Texians have not
much sympathy for them) if our vessels are all
oTbliged to be diverted from the regular mail
route to carry them home
Lamartine. The readers of the presentf
French revolution, and the admirers of ihc
distinguished and accomplished Lamaitiue,
will see by the following extract, that he is
not excluded by any acts of the Convention
from a share in the Government. We were
also under a similar mistake with the Picayune
until the paragraph met our view :
The French Government. Lamarlinc, &c.
From a hasty peiusai of the proceedings in
the Convpiitiun of Fiance, we were led to be
lieve that Limartine was no longer a part of
tue Uovcrnment. lie was one of a commis-
sion of five to appoint a Cabinet. The duties
of this committee were not clearly defined,
but the tenor of the news led us to suppose
that its junctions ceased with the construction
of a Cabinet. Mr. Kendall informs us that
this commission will conduct the Go eminent
till a constitution is formed, and that the Cabi
net will administer the Depaitments, under
the supervision of this Quintuple Executive.
Bastides takes the portfolio of Foiciini Rela
tions in the place of Lamartine, promoted, and
not iu the stead of Lsimartine, cither volunta-
rily or compulsively excluded from a share in

The American Star of May 23th, indulges
in the following warm encomiums upon the
character of Gen. Smith, of New Orleans.
We have noticed with pride the path of this
officer since he entered the Mexican war, aiid
feel that Louisiana as well as the nation at
large, have reason to remember him as one
of their most efficient officers :
"Xo man who ever was in the army of the
United States has won so high a reputation
in so short a time as Gen. Persifor F. Smith.
Gen. Taylor, however, seems to have known
his worth when he called him from private
life to the field, and it was a happy day for
the army when "Old Rough and Ready"
brought him out. The soldiers, not only of
his division, but of the army at large, love him, I
and have unbounded commence in his military
skill and ability. The great captain of the
age, the conqueror of Mexico, knew and appre-
ciated his worth, and the high commendations
he has passed upon his character and services
were as de-rved as they were just and liberal.
The plan of attack made and carried out by
Gen. Smith, at Valencia's camp, stamped him
a General of the first water, and as long as
memor' lasts he will be known and styled the
" Hero of Contreras " a prouder title than
which, none will wear. The sagacity and
military tact displayed in the investment and
carrying that camp is without a parallel in the
war, and its success with so small a loss, won
him the entire confidence of the army and the
approbation of our country. May health and
happiness attend the General wherever he
goes ! "
Maine Senator. Hannibal Hamblin was
elected U. S. Senator from Maine the Senate
by a vote ot 32 in his favor, to 4 for Gen.
Evans, concurred in his election.
An abolition Whig lady, at the North, was
recently delivered of three promising boys.
She calls them Garrison, Clay, and Wilmot

Information Wanted. We learn that the survey-
ors of Mercer's colony "have been for several mouths
entirely unemployed, and are anxiously waiting to re-
ceive information of Sir. Mercer. They are neither
able to prosecute their surveys nor to grant titles to
cdlonisls, and if they aro not soon relieved from their
embarrafasing condition, the right, title and interest of
Mr. Morcer in and to the colouy claimed by hiin-may
be sold to defray tho expense.
AN EXECUTION IN YUCATAN.
Executions are taking place in our midst
evciy week. The castle is still crowded with
prisoners waiting sentence. A few days
since, thirly-six Indians were confined in one
large cell of the prison of the castle. I went
to see them the day before the execution.
The door of the cell stood ajar, and before it
paced the guard with unloaded musket. Had
the idea or hope of escape occurred to them,
the prisoners with scarcely a struggle could
have been free ! There they were, the strong
limbed, poweiful men, who had stained their
souls with blood ; brutal cruelty stamped upon
their features, and removed from you a fcw
feet by a frail, open door 1 I felt that, as 1
stood thus, exchanging glances with them, I
ought to thank their stupidity for my life.
Presently the great gate of the castle opened,
and a priestly procession advanced with ban-
ners and music towards the cell. The Host
was borne beneath a silken canopy, and each
priest carried a little crucifix and wax taper.
They passed slowly into the cell, and then
the prisoners knelt and received the oommu-
nion. I stood gazing upon the mournful scene
like one in a dream. The sombre light within
the cell the pale thin features of the priests
like so many corpses the low, harsh utterance
of the Indians iu their native "Maya" and
occasionally a sob or groan and without, the
monotonous tread of the guard, and the gleam
of swords along the line of grim soldiery.
I felt sick at heart, and left the prison ;
passing to the gate, I saw at the farther end
of the court, a line of crosses planted in the
earth. Indians were piling up bags of sand
behind them, and from each cross a rope dan-
gled. The ii- rning came, rosy nnd beautiful.
A hush lay upon the city so deep tli.it it seemed
as if the ery pulse of life had .run down.
People were pressing towards the castle, and
thronging at the gates as if their lives hung
upon the revelation of some dreadful mysterv
within its walls. The bells were ringing
mournfully. The suii mounted higher, aiid
the long palm leaves drooped in the still air as
though fainting and parched with heat. As
the hour drew near, the silence deepened, and
from the castle wall where I stood, I seemed
to be lookingdown upon a vast tableau. When
the so'diers advanced to tin' gate those ap-
pointed lor the sad woik thoio was a sway-
ing to and fro among the immense multitude,
and a low hiss ran from lip to lip, like the first
waves of the sea before a gale. The doctor
and mj-sclf crossed the court-yard, and witi. a
few other spectators awaited the prisoners.
As the turret bell struck seven, they emerged
from under the light. Each one was dressed
in white, with a hood ready to be drawn over
the eyes ; this was stamped with a black cross.
The) walked tremblingly, supported by the
piiests, fastening their liist looks upon a cm-
rilix, but not a groan or a sigh escaped them.
borne piiests ascended a pile of iuiiis near tue
spot, and stictching out their hands towards
heaven, cried aloud for "meicy," "meicy."
Nearer they came ; the ciucifix was kissed for
the last time, they shook hands with the priests,
and then were led between the long line of
executioners and the black ciosses and seated,
with their hands seemed to the arms of the
cross. The hood was drawn over their ejes,
and then rose upon the air the shaip roll of a
drum. I started ; the clicking of the musket
iroze my very blood again the drum rolled,
and then a sudden glearn flashed along the
slender barrels as they were simultaneously j
pointed at the poor victims; at this moment a
honor like a nightmare, seemed to fasten me
to the spot my eyes fixed and stiaincd, as i(
fascinated by the terrible spectacle. I shall I
never forget that moment. Again the drum
rolled. 1 shuddered and turned away, for the
spell was spoken, and nil was over! The bo-
dies were quickly lemoved, and then- the pro
cession leturned tothepiison for the rest of
tiie doomed men. But halt the terrible woik
was done I would have left the spot, but
orders compelled us to remain where we
weie.
A most affecting scene occurred when the
others were being seated. A young handsome
Indian among the prisoners refused to be
seated, until he had embraced his father again.
He was a mere boy, but fourteen years of age.
Being led to his father, he flung himself upon
his neck and kissed his lips and ee, and
forehead, passionately ; then he elapsed his
knees and seemed to be praying for a lew
minutes afterwards ; they tore him from !ho-
spot, and a scream of agony rung from his lips,
for his heart was broken.
It is stiange how quickly sights of horror
will blunt the fine sensibilities of the soul ! I
could gaze upon the winding up of this scene
calmly and then with the doctorexamine the
bodies, and where life still lingered, give orders
coollj- to the soldiers to lire again. One man
in his death agony, had sprung forwaid and
snapped the cross on which he sat in twain.
At last the work was done. I went to see
the bodies as they lay side by side in a low
loom. Piiests were there, saying prayers
over the corpses. I sought for that poor boy,
they had laid him by his father, for whom he
had died ; in whose guilty steps he had trod,
and of whom he had learned all the refine-
ments of savage cruelty.
1 he day wore on, but it was long before
these ghastly faces ceased to haunt our dreams,
and the memory of that execution faded from
our thoughts. Cor. Christian Reflector.
Church Difficulties. Quite an excitement
has lately existed in the MethodNt Churches
in Brooklyn, but particularly in the famous
Centenaiy church, a full statement of which is
rather interesting. The bone of contention
exists between the Conference represented
by the Rev. Benjamin Griffin, on the one side,
and the congregation worshipping in the
church, represented by the trustees, oil the
other. The congregation contend that they
subscribed for and built the church, and that
they Bishop has no right to force a preacher
upon them whom they do not want ; on the
other hand the Bishop claims the supreme
right to send the preacher and compel the
people to leceive him whether they will or not,
and bases himself upon the broad platform of
Methodist discipline. This is the first instance
where a Bishop has been compelled to call in
the aid of law, and sehd a preacher writ in
hand. The late decision of Judge Edmunds
was, as is generally known, favorable to the
Bishop and adverse to the church. Immedi-
ately after the denision, a stay of proceedings
for ten days was granted in order to file a writ
of error, but the opposing counsel succeeded
in getting it i evoked the same day, and before
the Centenary trustees were aware of it, they
were served with a peremptory writ, ordciing
f shem to admit the Kev. C. GrifTm forthwith to
the pulpit and parsonage. Mr. Griffin with
a large body of his followers, came on the fol-
lowing, and demanded admittance in,to the
pulpit, the officiating pator being then eagaged
iu the opening exercises. The trustees handed
him a written refusal, and after much sharp
firing on both sides, Mr. Griffin gave notice
that he should appear on the Sabbath, and
demand admittance under the peremptory
writ of mandamus. True to his word, just as
the congregation were chanting the opening
hymn, he came in, followed by some twenty
of his own members. He, however, met
with a peiemptory refusal, many angry words
were exchanged and a large crowd collected,
but with the assistance of four police officers,
the lobbies of the church were soon cleared
and order restored. Mr. Giillin now gave
notice that he should aprear at 9 o'clock, on
the morning and demand possessions of the
parsonage, but here the Rev. Mr. Green, the
present occupant, was prepared to oppose him.
although he had with him some thirty of his
church membeis, together with his counsel.
Finding, at length, that the trustees were de-
termined not to obey Judge Edmund's writ,
he cited them to appear before his Honor and
show cause why an attachment should not is-
sue and they be fined 250 each for contempt
of court.
The courth has since decided that the church
should be turned over to Mr. Griffin, but from
this decision the opposite party has appealed.
Ncw Route to Rio. The Baltimore Ameri-
can, in mentioning the arrival of the bark W.
II. D. C. Wright, which has made the voyage
to Rio and back in the brief space of Go days,
including 10 days stay at Rio, says :
She is believed to be the first vessel that
has tried the new route proposed by Lieut.
Matuy of the U. S. Navy, on his "wind and
current" charts. She passed to the south-
ward of Bermuda, and made the passage to
Rio in 33 days, following the great circle and
c.vsosing the line the 24th day out, in longitude
yl deg. west.
The discovery by Lieut. iWaury of a region
of better winds along the great circle to Rio,
i.s a most important one ; for the passage to
Rio, China and all places soulh of the Equa-
tor is shortened some ten or fifteen days. j
No vessel t-hould go to sea without one of
these chat Is. We understand that they will be '
given to any navigator who will send the track
of his vessel with a record of his winds and
cii.iont?, Iu the observatory at Washington ;
and who, upon application to that office, will
bo supplied with tho chaits, sailing directions,
&c, !cc.
We canint cloe this notice without express-
ing our high admiration of tho success which
has attended Lieut. Maury's efforts in this itn-
poitant and interesting field of science ; a suc-
cess which entitles him to an honorable place
among the scientific men of our age, distin-
guished as it is by so many brilliant additions
to the fund of human knowledge ; a success
which, in its application to the navigation of
the Pacific Ocean, seems destiued, associated
as it is with the Herculean energy of this great
great nation, to give us at no distant day the
mastery uf the commerce of the worid.

Later from Santa Fc. Tho St. Louis papers no
tice tho arrival of Mr. Aubryat Independence, on tho
2!)th May, from Santa Fe, which place he left on tho
13th May. Mr. Aubry reported that Col. Gilpin had
encountered a largo party of Commanclies near tho
Moro, who mado a strenuous resistance until the troops
charged upoa them, when thoy fled, leaving a
numbor of their dead upon tho field. Tho greater por-
tion of their stock was captdfed by tho troops. Only
one or two of tho Americans were killed during the en-
gagement, and a few wounded. Col. Gilpin was still
iu pursuit of tho Indians, and it was thought ho would
overtake them, and compel them to suo for peace.
Fears ero entoitained at Santa Fo, that a train o'
wagons, belonging to Messrs. Billiard, Hook & Co.,
which started from Missouri for Santa Fe last fall,
has been captured by the Indians. Thero were twen-
ty persons with the train, and it is supposed they were
all murdered by tho savages.
Couut of Inquiry. Tho correspoudent of the Bal
timore Sun. mentions that tho Court of Inquiry at
Fredericksburg had adjourned uutil tho 2d inst., in
consequence of tho absence of Gen. Pillow. Major
General Scott aud other distinguished officers, were
awaiting the meeting of tho Court. Gen. Taylor had
been ordered to attend tho Court at Fredericksburg as
a witness. This Court will certainly be one of tho
most interesting that ever convened in the Union, as
tho war worn leaders in the terrible scenes of Buena
Vista, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Cherubusco, Contre-
ras and Chapultepcc will be there, presenting an ar-
ray of heroes, that has probably never before been
equalled iu America. It is saddening, however, to re-
flect that some of them meat for tho purpose of mutu-
al accusation, rather than to vie with each other hi acts
of soldierly kindness, and chivalrous generosity.
