THE GOOi> TIME HAS COME AT A.ASTI
A New England Abolition Song,
Ah. the good time has come at last I
New England rules the nation,
And now we've got you "hoosiers" fast
In spite ol all creation.
For thirty years we've labored hard
For tariff and protection,
And now we "dare" jou to retard,
By setting up objecton.
"Protection" is lhe very thing
To gratily our wishes—
It briugs uh riches like a king,
And gold and silver disbes.
It makes us love you Western folks
Witb very kind rei ard—
For now we sell yon calico
At fifty cents'a yard.
Once you had gold and Bilver, too,
Flying round like rockets ;
But snon we made ycu send it through
To jingle In our pockets,
While we've got plenty of tbe "chink,"
It surely looks quite funny,
To see you Western Hoosier folks
Use pasteboard for your money.
For Union, Constitution. Laws,
D d we not loudly insist,
Until we got you Hoosier boys,
Most bravely to enlist.
Ad now we've got you in the ranks,
We cannot help but "snigger,"
To thi ii k that wecan make you light
To help us fre'e the nigger.
Now we ve got all the offices,
And all the contracis, too—
This makes a glorious time for us,
Tho' rather hard lor you. ,
For we've got Yankees just, enough,
Scatt.red through the West,
To fill the Federal offices,
And feather well their nest.
In two years more we'll make enough
To satisfy our pri'de,
And then we'll say to one and all,
JuBt "let the Union slide."
Muscatine (Iowa) Courier.
A Llllle JMnn Beyond his Depth.
Gen. John A. Dix has been writing a political
letter lo Ihe '-War Democracy"—tbat is to the
class of camp-followers who stuck to the Democratic party only lor the loaves and fishes, ai d
drifted off to the Abolitionists at the sight of tbe
p les ol greenbacks.—Gen. Dix from of old, was tin
assiduous gatherer up of unconsidered trifles. He
gained what doubtul political reputation he had.
in the day of small things. His present letter
turns On two points, each of them a mistake. First
he advocates the Conscription, and strives to show
that it is "pre-eminently an Anglo-Saxon
method," because at times,''it has been eniorced
by tbe King's Prerogative e.nd by the Statute law '
He has failed to learn that, in the days of the early
Planlageneis, as in modern times, Parliament
denied the prerogative of the king to compel military service, outBide of tbose that held lands, according to tbe expressed natureoI military service
and lhat the "statute lawV enforcing it was equally
declared by E glish Parliament an invasion and
usurpation upon the law of the land—the common
Law Gen. Dix carries this pretended use down
to Ibis country, and once more, harps on the proposition of Mr. Monroe when Secretary of War un
der Mr. Madison.
The answer to this is, that lhe freedom ofa great
people has never grown from tbe dicta of masierB,
no matter of wbat parly, but is n development of
the people's own needs, instincts and purposes'
Mr. Monroe's scheme of conscription was rejected
by the people, and timely abandoned by himself-
Tbat is the end of that precedent. It never met
acceptance nor success.
Gen. Dix's other theme of comment is, that because the Federalist opposed the war with England iu 1812, and fell into opprobrium, therefore,
whoever opposes this civil war will likewise sink
fnto popular disgrace. Tbis is arguing from a war
of one kind, to a war of a very different kind
England was hateful to all the States in 1812—.x-
-eept New England. The reproach of the Federalists was not tbe State rights doctrines they vindicated—for the Yankees in the Hartford Convention
only borrowed the arguments Virginia and Kentucky had brought out sixteen years before. Tbeir
reproach wae tbe occasion of tbeir resorting to
State resbtance tbat they did it while the country
wbb at war with our hereditary foe—England.
The present war is waged upon the South,
Against which states and their people there was no
hostiltty on tbe part of any except Ihe New England Yankees. The rest of the people have felt
that it was a war with people tbat were oqr own
flesh and blood, aod wilb whom we ought to have
continued friends. The end of Ibis war will astonish IhoBe that expect ihe rule of foreign wars
to be applied to (Ke fautore.— Freeman's Journal
Steam Frigate "Niagara."
The late Georg- SteerB, who was esieemed one
of the most skillful modelers and constructors in
the world of fast Bniling vessels, designed and
built the Ir gate Niagara, tbe largest in the
American navy. Her model ie held to be faultless
fir securn g speed: but with naval men she has
never been a favorite, and under steam her speed
was on'y no d Tate. Her engines have been held
to be d ficient in power; and for about a year pa«t
wben ber services Bright have be 'U most valuable
on tbe Southern cosst. she ban been 1 nd up-a the
Charleslown, U-- ss., Navy Yard, undergoing extensive repairs. Her old engines bave been taken
out and more poweif il onei- su-titoted; and It 'to
now evrec'eri that her speed will be greatly Increased. Tbe new.armament ol this Irigaie ror-
passes that of any other vessel in the world for
weight or" metal. It consists of twlve 200-potm-
der Parrolt rfl d guns 'or throwing hollow shot
nTJ'1 s'lell. on the main deck. Tbe old system of
aiming war vessels was bne d upon furnishing
thorn with the greatest number of guns possible;
the'modern method consists in supplying a much
sm»Uir number, but of much greater calibre.—

New York, November He-*. The Herald bas tbe
following from Warrenton Junction, November 6tb.
We hear of no fighting to-day, bul parties just ar
rived report that about 700 prisoueis bad beeD
captured in the vicinity of Culpepper. This makes
our captures 2,500.
Washington, November 11.—All the prisoners
here will soon be transmitted to Johnson I land
in Lake Erie. This would indicate that a resump
tion of exchanges is as far off as ever.
Special dispatches from Cincinnati give an ac.
count of a singular story about two suspicious vessels discovered yesterday hoveringabout Sandusky
Bay, supposed lo be privateers tilted out by secessionists iu Canada and the United States, with tie
supposed object ot releasing the rebel prisoners on
Johnson Island, and to commence pirating on tb.
lakes, and their forces on board pillaging on land
Batteries ol Parrott guns have been ordered forthwith ts the Island.
Washington. November 11.—It was stated several days ago that two of Gen. Burnside's most easterly outposts.in Tennessee had been captured. Gen-
Grant's dispatch did not designate the exact place
where the disaster occurred, nor slate the strength
of the rebels or the probable number of the killed
and wounded on our Bide. Gen. Burnside telegraphed that the disaster occured at RogersVille.
ten or fifteen miles from Knnxville. He also stated
lhat tbe rebels caplured 600 men and 4 cannon
but did not mention the number of killed and
wounded. His army is where it was when tbe
attack was made in impregnable position and under
the orders of Gen Grant.
New York, November 11.—The Philadelphia
Enquirer's army corresi ondence says that Gen
Bulord returned, on Monday night, to the vicinity
ol Brandy Station, having advanced within four
miles of Culpepper where he met, on Sunday
night, Wilcox's division of Hill's Corps, with whom
he hud a sharp fight, lasting two hours. He drove
tbe rebels some distance and picked the ground .
then beiug short ol lorage returned to the main
body. The first brigade aud tbe 30th Indiana cav
airy were the ones principally engaged. Aboul
50 were kill d aud wounded. The rebel loss is
unknown. They lelt five dead on the field, buried
several, and carried off many wounded. Ou Monday morning tbe rebels reliied towards the Rapi-
dan. Buford ascertained that no rebels were iu
tbe vicinity of Culpepper. The supposition is that
all of Lee's army is across the Rapidan, They occupy Pony Mountain, a short distance beyond Cul
pepper, as a signal station, whence they can observe the movements of our army to advantage.
A Washington oorrespoudeut says an order hie
been issued permanently relieving Gen. H«intzel
man and placing Gen. Auger in bis place. No
reason is assigned for Heiulzelman's removal.
The necessary measures are being taken to provide the tederal prisoners at Richmond with the
necessaries of life, by the President. An effort
also will be made to see if tbe rebels will not parole the men held by them until exchanged.
Washington, November 11.—Adj.-Gen. in a
communication to tbe War Department, dated
Natchtz, says : It is a significant fact, that while
transports on tbe river bave been frequently fired
upon it was never from that part of the river bank
covered by the leased plantations, extending for
75 miles above Vicksburg, which shows the importance to commerce of lining the river with loyal
population. He says that on the 15th of October
ihe gathering of cotton was in full operation.
Tbe experiment adopted hastily, and from necessity of employing freed men on wages, on lessened
plantations, he now regards as a complete success.
Knoxville. November 11.—In the recent affair
at Ridgeville, Burnside's forces were overwhelmed
by superior numbers. Burnside has taken over
1.500 prisoners since he came in to Tennessee, independent of the garrison at Cumberland Gup, thus
putting us far ahead of the rebels. There are
seme indications of a large force coming against
ub, but we expect to repel them. Most of the cap
turrs at Ridgeville were of tbe 2d loyal Tennessee
and our 100 of the 17th Ohio. We bold from
Washington on the Tennessee river toaboveBulls
Gap.
Washington, November 11.—It is rnmored tbat
Secretary Chase issued $25 000.000 in legal tender
currency, witb a view to revive the stringency of
tbe loan market.
New York, November 11.—A special Washington dispatch of ihe 11th says : The general position of the army of tbe Potomac is mainly unch. n
ged. Gen. Buford yesterday passed through Culpepper, and recounoitered the enemy's positwn on
tbe Rapidan. Ewell's and Hill's Corps were encamped nearly parallel to tbe Rappahannock on
Saturday, their right resting below Kell's Ford
and Iheir left near Rixerville. on Eastinas river.
Evidence exir-ts of their precipitate retreat owing
lo Meade's ma«ieily movements.
Nkw York. November 12.—A special dispatch
to the Times, dated Washington, November 11,
says: It is por-irively ascertained that the whole
rebel infantry force crossed the Ra id»n on Sunday last. The only force., left this side are recon-
uoitering binds of Smart's cavalry, covering the
rebel f'-"lit on the south ba k of the Rapidan,
which tbey are guarding with care.
The intention . I tbe rebels to rendezvous tbis
whiter between tbe Rnppahauuock and tbe Rapi
dan is established by t e laci lbat from Brandy
Station fo tbe Rapidan, log huts capable ot accom.
modaling 15.000 men had been erect d. Onr ad-
vace on Saturday effected one o u e oljects io the
preserv .Hon of 24 miles of road aid ielet.-r pb
between tbe Rnppahann ek aid Rapidan. Both
are in perfect working order. Tbe railroad bridge
across the Rappahannock will be done next Monday. Lee's army at Gordonsvilie. .xclusife ol his
cavalry, does no mneb exe ed 30 000 men. 0«

Rapidan W connoitering tbe enemy's position. Two

Tbe force which has been sent to operate against
Burnside in East Tennessee, has been recalled, and
will fornl a junction with the main army at Char-
lottville or Gordonsvilie, which will depend en-
lirely upon Ihe rapidity of Meade's movements.
Washington, Novemer 5th.—A released prisoner
Irom Richmond reports that shortly after the battle ol Chickamauga 200 wounded prisoners arrived
at Richmond, all in a lamishing condition. They
were four days on the road between tbe two points,
and all tbey had to eat during the time was four
hard crack' rs. When tbey arrived to Richmond
they were taken to the Libby Prison, where they
ay two days longer without having their wounds
Iressed, during which time Ibey bad not anything
to eat. Some of them who bad money, offered five
dollars for a loal of bread ; but the officer in charge
would not allow it to be carried to them. This
prisoner says that others in tbe flag of truae boat
while passing Dairy's Bluff, were made to lie down
inS a special guard placed over tbem, tbat they
•night not see the fortifiieations.
From Mexico.
The Franco-Mexican Government, erected in
the city of Mexico, has issued the necessary passports to the Peruvian Minister ; and it is also said
that measures to the same effect were to be taken
Kiwards the American Minister, Mr. Corwin, because be bad remonstrated against tbe banishment
of one Mr. Massou, an American citizen, accus—
"d of being engaged in a certain conspiracy with
several prominent Mexicans. It is Baid tbat Lim-
antour, well known to Californians, is among the
parlies arrested,
In consequence of tbe assassination of several
French soldiers, it has been determined by tbe
French authority tbat innocent Mexicans shall be
shot, and others be taken as hostages in pledge of
'hose who may be murdered hereafter.
Propositions of honor are offered to those Mexicans who bave faithfully adhered to tbe cam-e of
iheir country.
General Negrete, wbo has given great trouble
io the French on the road between Mexico and
Vera Cruz, hits issued a proclamation, in wbioh ba
declares that inducements of this character wera
proposed to him and tbat even threats were
made against tbe lives oi tbose who refuse to make
ih.-mselves vile instruments of their crimes. He
exhorts the people to stand by their country's
cause ; to reject withdignity the insult offered to
tbem by those wbo bad neither faith nor honor in
eomplying with the preliminary treaty signed at
Soledad,
Forey, before his departure, issued another proclamation, io which he says tbat be is recalled to
France, his mission having terminated ; that this
determination does not imply any change of policy
on tbe part of Napoleon ; that the French army is
left oommanded by a General in whose ability lull
faith Bhould be placed ; that his greatest pleasure
would bave been, before has retirement, to witness
tbe concentration of all factions Into one national
party, but tbat this dream of his has not as yet
been realized. Tbe tenor of his language is abusive and contradictory.
The decree which makes effectual the sequestration of property belonging to traitors is
being enforced with great vigor.
On account of the announcement made by tl O
French, lhat familios shoul I give lodgment to ita
officers, it is said tbat a great many of them are
driven outanp left houseless.
Desertion in the French army Is another evidence of the unpopularity of this war.
Artificial Marble.
Sir James Hall upon one occasion produced
crystaline marble by subjecting chalk to a high
beat in a close vessel. Professor Rose of Berlin
Prussia, tried tbe experiment, and failing to produce such a result denied the correctness of Sir
James Hall's statements. Being assured thatcryfr
talline marble had thus been produced, and tbat
the specimens could be seen iu London, he entered upon a second experiment, and in a recent communication to tbe Berlin Academy of Sciences,
Professor Rose states that marble can be produced
by exposing massive carbonate of lime to a high
temperature uuder great pressure. His experiments wire made with aragonite from Bilio in Bohemia, and with lithographic limestone. In one
case the mineral was heated in a wrought iron
oyl'nder, and ia the other, inra porcelain bottle,
the vessels being air-tight. Tbey were exposed
to a white heat for bdlf an hour, and on cooling,
both tbe aragonite and lithograph ie limestone
were found converted into crystalline limestone;
the former resembling Carrara marble, and the
latter a granular limestone. The ehangs was effected without uny material decomposition;
tie resulting marble coniaining a trifle less
carbonic acid than li hograpbi* llsaestoue, from
which it was produced.

THE GOOi> TIME HAS COME AT A.ASTI A New England Abolition Song, Ah. the good time has come at last I New England rules the nation, And now we've got you "hoosiers" fast In spite ol all creation. For thirty years we've labored hard For tariff and protection, And now we "dare" jou to retard, By setting up objecton. "Protection" is lhe very thing To gratily our wishes— It briugs uh riches like a king, And gold and silver disbes. It makes us love you Western folks Witb very kind rei ard— For now we sell yon calico At fifty cents'a yard. Once you had gold and Bilver, too, Flying round like rockets ; But snon we made ycu send it through To jingle In our pockets, While we've got plenty of tbe "chink" It surely looks quite funny, To see you Western Hoosier folks Use pasteboard for your money. For Union, Constitution. Laws, D d we not loudly insist, Until we got you Hoosier boys, Most bravely to enlist. Ad now we've got you in the ranks, We cannot help but "snigger" To thi ii k that wecan make you light To help us fre'e the nigger. Now we ve got all the offices, And all the contracis, too— This makes a glorious time for us, Tho' rather hard lor you. , For we've got Yankees just, enough, Scatt.red through the West, To fill the Federal offices, And feather well their nest. In two years more we'll make enough To satisfy our pri'de, And then we'll say to one and all, JuBt "let the Union slide." Muscatine (Iowa) Courier. A Llllle JMnn Beyond his Depth. Gen. John A. Dix has been writing a political letter lo Ihe '-War Democracy"—tbat is to the class of camp-followers who stuck to the Democratic party only lor the loaves and fishes, ai d drifted off to the Abolitionists at the sight of tbe p les ol greenbacks.—Gen. Dix from of old, was tin assiduous gatherer up of unconsidered trifles. He gained what doubtul political reputation he had. in the day of small things. His present letter turns On two points, each of them a mistake. First he advocates the Conscription, and strives to show that it is "pre-eminently an Anglo-Saxon method" because at times,''it has been eniorced by tbe King's Prerogative e.nd by the Statute law ' He has failed to learn that, in the days of the early Planlageneis, as in modern times, Parliament denied the prerogative of the king to compel military service, outBide of tbose that held lands, according to tbe expressed natureoI military service and lhat the "statute lawV enforcing it was equally declared by E glish Parliament an invasion and usurpation upon the law of the land—the common Law Gen. Dix carries this pretended use down to Ibis country, and once more, harps on the proposition of Mr. Monroe when Secretary of War un der Mr. Madison. The answer to this is, that lhe freedom ofa great people has never grown from tbe dicta of masierB, no matter of wbat parly, but is n development of the people's own needs, instincts and purposes' Mr. Monroe's scheme of conscription was rejected by the people, and timely abandoned by himself- Tbat is the end of that precedent. It never met acceptance nor success. Gen. Dix's other theme of comment is, that because the Federalist opposed the war with England iu 1812, and fell into opprobrium, therefore, whoever opposes this civil war will likewise sink fnto popular disgrace. Tbis is arguing from a war of one kind, to a war of a very different kind England was hateful to all the States in 1812—.x- -eept New England. The reproach of the Federalists was not tbe State rights doctrines they vindicated—for the Yankees in the Hartford Convention only borrowed the arguments Virginia and Kentucky had brought out sixteen years before. Tbeir reproach wae tbe occasion of tbeir resorting to State resbtance tbat they did it while the country wbb at war with our hereditary foe—England. The present war is waged upon the South, Against which states and their people there was no hostiltty on tbe part of any except Ihe New England Yankees. The rest of the people have felt that it was a war with people tbat were oqr own flesh and blood, aod wilb whom we ought to have continued friends. The end of Ibis war will astonish IhoBe that expect ihe rule of foreign wars to be applied to (Ke fautore.— Freeman's Journal Steam Frigate "Niagara." The late Georg- SteerB, who was esieemed one of the most skillful modelers and constructors in the world of fast Bniling vessels, designed and built the Ir gate Niagara, tbe largest in the American navy. Her model ie held to be faultless fir securn g speed: but with naval men she has never been a favorite, and under steam her speed was on'y no d Tate. Her engines have been held to be d ficient in power; and for about a year pa«t wben ber services Bright have be 'U most valuable on tbe Southern cosst. she ban been 1 nd up-a the Charleslown, U-- ss., Navy Yard, undergoing extensive repairs. Her old engines bave been taken out and more poweif il onei- su-titoted; and It 'to now evrec'eri that her speed will be greatly Increased. Tbe new.armament ol this Irigaie ror- passes that of any other vessel in the world for weight or" metal. It consists of twlve 200-potm- der Parrolt rfl d guns 'or throwing hollow shot nTJ'1 s'lell. on the main deck. Tbe old system of aiming war vessels was bne d upon furnishing thorn with the greatest number of guns possible; the'modern method consists in supplying a much sm»Uir number, but of much greater calibre.— Scientific American. as EASTERN lNTELLIGKNCSB. New York, November He-*. The Herald bas tbe following from Warrenton Junction, November 6tb. We hear of no fighting to-day, bul parties just ar rived report that about 700 prisoueis bad beeD captured in the vicinity of Culpepper. This makes our captures 2,500. Washington, November 11.—All the prisoners here will soon be transmitted to Johnson I land in Lake Erie. This would indicate that a resump tion of exchanges is as far off as ever. Special dispatches from Cincinnati give an ac. count of a singular story about two suspicious vessels discovered yesterday hoveringabout Sandusky Bay, supposed lo be privateers tilted out by secessionists iu Canada and the United States, with tie supposed object ot releasing the rebel prisoners on Johnson Island, and to commence pirating on tb. lakes, and their forces on board pillaging on land Batteries ol Parrott guns have been ordered forthwith ts the Island. Washington. November 11.—It was stated several days ago that two of Gen. Burnside's most easterly outposts.in Tennessee had been captured. Gen- Grant's dispatch did not designate the exact place where the disaster occurred, nor slate the strength of the rebels or the probable number of the killed and wounded on our Bide. Gen. Burnside telegraphed that the disaster occured at RogersVille. ten or fifteen miles from Knnxville. He also stated lhat tbe rebels caplured 600 men and 4 cannon but did not mention the number of killed and wounded. His army is where it was when tbe attack was made in impregnable position and under the orders of Gen Grant. New York, November 11.—The Philadelphia Enquirer's army corresi ondence says that Gen Bulord returned, on Monday night, to the vicinity ol Brandy Station, having advanced within four miles of Culpepper where he met, on Sunday night, Wilcox's division of Hill's Corps, with whom he hud a sharp fight, lasting two hours. He drove tbe rebels some distance and picked the ground . then beiug short ol lorage returned to the main body. The first brigade aud tbe 30th Indiana cav airy were the ones principally engaged. Aboul 50 were kill d aud wounded. The rebel loss is unknown. They lelt five dead on the field, buried several, and carried off many wounded. Ou Monday morning tbe rebels reliied towards the Rapi- dan. Buford ascertained that no rebels were iu tbe vicinity of Culpepper. The supposition is that all of Lee's army is across the Rapidan, They occupy Pony Mountain, a short distance beyond Cul pepper, as a signal station, whence they can observe the movements of our army to advantage. A Washington oorrespoudeut says an order hie been issued permanently relieving Gen. H«intzel man and placing Gen. Auger in bis place. No reason is assigned for Heiulzelman's removal. The necessary measures are being taken to provide the tederal prisoners at Richmond with the necessaries of life, by the President. An effort also will be made to see if tbe rebels will not parole the men held by them until exchanged. Washington, November 11.—Adj.-Gen. in a communication to tbe War Department, dated Natchtz, says : It is a significant fact, that while transports on tbe river bave been frequently fired upon it was never from that part of the river bank covered by the leased plantations, extending for 75 miles above Vicksburg, which shows the importance to commerce of lining the river with loyal population. He says that on the 15th of October ihe gathering of cotton was in full operation. Tbe experiment adopted hastily, and from necessity of employing freed men on wages, on lessened plantations, he now regards as a complete success. Knoxville. November 11.—In the recent affair at Ridgeville, Burnside's forces were overwhelmed by superior numbers. Burnside has taken over 1.500 prisoners since he came in to Tennessee, independent of the garrison at Cumberland Gup, thus putting us far ahead of the rebels. There are seme indications of a large force coming against ub, but we expect to repel them. Most of the cap turrs at Ridgeville were of tbe 2d loyal Tennessee and our 100 of the 17th Ohio. We bold from Washington on the Tennessee river toaboveBulls Gap. Washington, November 11.—It is rnmored tbat Secretary Chase issued $25 000.000 in legal tender currency, witb a view to revive the stringency of tbe loan market. New York, November 11.—A special Washington dispatch of ihe 11th says : The general position of the army of tbe Potomac is mainly unch. n ged. Gen. Buford yesterday passed through Culpepper, and recounoitered the enemy's positwn on tbe Rapidan. Ewell's and Hill's Corps were encamped nearly parallel to tbe Rappahannock on Saturday, their right resting below Kell's Ford and Iheir left near Rixerville. on Eastinas river. Evidence exir-ts of their precipitate retreat owing lo Meade's ma«ieily movements. Nkw York. November 12.—A special dispatch to the Times, dated Washington, November 11, says: It is por-irively ascertained that the whole rebel infantry force crossed the Ra id»n on Sunday last. The only force., left this side are recon- uoitering binds of Smart's cavalry, covering the rebel f'-"lit on the south ba k of the Rapidan, which tbey are guarding with care. The intention . I tbe rebels to rendezvous tbis whiter between tbe Rnppahauuock and tbe Rapi dan is established by t e laci lbat from Brandy Station fo tbe Rapidan, log huts capable ot accom. modaling 15.000 men had been erect d.

Tbe force which has been sent to operate against Burnside in East Tennessee, has been recalled, and will fornl a junction with the main army at Char- lottville or Gordonsvilie, which will depend en- lirely upon Ihe rapidity of Meade's movements. Washington, Novemer 5th.—A released prisoner Irom Richmond reports that shortly after the battle ol Chickamauga 200 wounded prisoners arrived at Richmond, all in a lamishing condition. They were four days on the road between tbe two points, and all tbey had to eat during the time was four hard crack' rs. When tbey arrived to Richmond they were taken to the Libby Prison, where they ay two days longer without having their wounds Iressed, during which time Ibey bad not anything to eat. Some of them who bad money, offered five dollars for a loal of bread ; but the officer in charge would not allow it to be carried to them. This prisoner says that others in tbe flag of truae boat while passing Dairy's Bluff, were made to lie down inS a special guard placed over tbem, tbat they •night not see the fortifiieations. From Mexico. The Franco-Mexican Government, erected in the city of Mexico, has issued the necessary passports to the Peruvian Minister ; and it is also said that measures to the same effect were to be taken Kiwards the American Minister, Mr. Corwin, because be bad remonstrated against tbe banishment of one Mr. Massou, an American citizen, accus— "d of being engaged in a certain conspiracy with several prominent Mexicans. It is Baid tbat Lim- antour, well known to Californians, is among the parlies arrested, In consequence of tbe assassination of several French soldiers, it has been determined by tbe French authority tbat innocent Mexicans shall be shot, and others be taken as hostages in pledge of 'hose who may be murdered hereafter. Propositions of honor are offered to those Mexicans who bave faithfully adhered to tbe cam-e of iheir country. General Negrete, wbo has given great trouble io the French on the road between Mexico and Vera Cruz, hits issued a proclamation, in wbioh ba declares that inducements of this character wera proposed to him and tbat even threats were made against tbe lives oi tbose who refuse to make ih.-mselves vile instruments of their crimes. He exhorts the people to stand by their country's cause ; to reject withdignity the insult offered to tbem by those wbo bad neither faith nor honor in eomplying with the preliminary treaty signed at Soledad, Forey, before his departure, issued another proclamation, io which he says tbat be is recalled to France, his mission having terminated ; that this determination does not imply any change of policy on tbe part of Napoleon ; that the French army is left oommanded by a General in whose ability lull faith Bhould be placed ; that his greatest pleasure would bave been, before has retirement, to witness tbe concentration of all factions Into one national party, but tbat this dream of his has not as yet been realized. Tbe tenor of his language is abusive and contradictory. The decree which makes effectual the sequestration of property belonging to traitors is being enforced with great vigor. On account of the announcement made by tl O French, lhat familios shoul I give lodgment to ita officers, it is said tbat a great many of them are driven outanp left houseless. Desertion in the French army Is another evidence of the unpopularity of this war. Artificial Marble. Sir James Hall upon one occasion produced crystaline marble by subjecting chalk to a high beat in a close vessel. Professor Rose of Berlin Prussia, tried tbe experiment, and failing to produce such a result denied the correctness of Sir James Hall's statements. Being assured thatcryfr talline marble had thus been produced, and tbat the specimens could be seen iu London, he entered upon a second experiment, and in a recent communication to tbe Berlin Academy of Sciences, Professor Rose states that marble can be produced by exposing massive carbonate of lime to a high temperature uuder great pressure. His experiments wire made with aragonite from Bilio in Bohemia, and with lithographic limestone. In one case the mineral was heated in a wrought iron oyl'nder, and ia the other, inra porcelain bottle, the vessels being air-tight. Tbey were exposed to a white heat for bdlf an hour, and on cooling, both tbe aragonite and lithograph ie limestone were found converted into crystalline limestone; the former resembling Carrara marble, and the latter a granular limestone. The ehangs was effected without uny material decomposition; tie resulting marble coniaining a trifle less carbonic acid than li hograpbi* llsaestoue, from which it was produced.
