We find in the Baton Rouge Conserva tor the following amusing anecdote of an Alabama volunteer at sea, on his way to Vera Cruz: "One tall volunteer from the pine lands of Alabama, was unhappy for the want of employment. He sauntered shout look ing for 'something to do,' when it occured to him, that he might, as he expressed it, 'take a wash.' He was a tall, lank fellow, with a shockey head of grassy, dried hair hanging down his shoulders. With a de liberation consistent with an idle sea voy age, he commenced rubbing the turpentine soap of the ship into his hair and skin with commendable vehemence. He had cause to take a great deal of pains, for he observed to himself, 'that he had an acre of barracks mud on him.' "It must be observed, that all this while the vessel was plowing further into the sea, and by the tithe the 'Alabama rose' had soaped himself,. the Mississippi water was in the , wash room had. become .ex hausted, and he threw his bucket over the vessel's side to replenish his basin. k'The first dash that he made was at his bail, the turpentine.of the soap and the sa line of the water, instantly formed a chem-. icar combination, and. the oily qualities of the soap disappeared, andlsleft-something instead .reseinbling star. . T'wo. or three rakes of thefing'erthroughthe hair ele :alid vugi-ight,4boutt:he Alatamian's 'Th's anothr trick played n me,'said the tunwashed in a rage, his 'hair growing still fiereer. At .this moment the water dripped across his face, and be commenc ed spitting as if nauseated to the last de gree. Cooly and determinately he went to his belt. took out a 'bowie' some fifteen inches long, and delivered himself thus: 'Some of them thar Louisianians has play ed tricks enuff on me, now if any one dar, let him fotch out the one that put salt in this here water." A Singular and Lamented Death.-The sudden and affecting death of Charles Thornton Cunningham, Esq. Lieutenant Governor of St. Christopher's and the Leeward Islands, is announced in the West India.apers, It appears that this gentleman had just driven in from the country to the seat of government, in ap parently vigorous health and cheerful spirits to open the houses of legislature. After transacting some business with his private secretary, and despatching a note to invite some officers of a French ship of-war, just came into port, to luncheon at government house, be rode down to the main office to meet his letters, and a box containing a picture of a much beloved sister recently deceased in England he had stated to more than one person that his earnest desire to possess the picture was not unmixed with fear as the effect the sight of it might produce upon him. So strongly had this apprehension fas tened itself upon his mind, that on the arrival of the box 'at government house he sent a servant in quest of a friend wvho might jbe with him when the box was opened. (Having failed in finding him, he pro::eeded then to open the box,. Hise butler, who was present, reports, that he looked at the countenance earnestly, turned pale, whispered a few words to himself, walked hastily up to his own room, was hoard almost instantly to fall as he entered t, and his servants following up stairs, found him stretched on the floor a corpse. The late Lieutenant Governor was the son of the Rtev. J. W. Cunningham, the eloquent and distinguished vicar of H arrow on the Hill, near London, and son-in-law of Dr. Heap. who has long represented his country at Tunis, in Barbary. He as sumed the government of St. Kitts in 1839, and fell a victim, partly "to the ex hausting. influence of tropical climates on the nervous powers," partly to the inten sity of brotherly affectiotr inr the 36th year of his age. Tobacco Froscribed.-The Baptists and Presbyteriane are holding general conven tions in Cincinnati, and the citizens of that place appear to be unwilling to extedd the hand of hospitality to the delegates, unless they give up their tobacco. The Gazette Our theological friends, the deiegates to the convention, seem to have brought their partialtty for tobaccoto a poor mar ~ket..

The Legislature of the great State of < ralisco declared by a vote of 14 to 12 that c he decree Congress thereby ordering the lection was unconstitutional and they i efused to go on with it. This is regarded' c s a step towards revolution and the ulti- t nate independence of this State. t We have Santa Anna's address pu' ished on the !0th uit., but it is too long to e ive this morning.

We a ave all along felt sure that the Mexicans d vnuld be the first to cry out against the b uerrillas. . . The order of -Gen.

Santa Anna, Herrera and the h nembers of Congress swore to observe it, u and this ceremony being over, they march- s td to the Cathedral, 'where a solemn Te' Deunm was celebrated. . t The papers give accounts of revolution- I iry movements in Oajaca, some 200 troops e having revolted on the 8th ult. and de- to lared against the State authorities. 11 We have only time to add'that a paper 9 has been started in the capital entitled El u Razonadon, which is opposed to the war t although it roundly denounces the conduct d ,f the United States. From the Charleston Evening News ofthe 14th. From Mexico.-We have a few items to t add to our postscript of Saturday. In re- t Gard to the resignation of the Presidency I by Santa Anna, considerable doubt exists. I The latest and most reliable intelligence from the City of Mexico states that he was till exercising the functions of his ollice, and was in tolerable favor with the peo ple. The fact seems :o be unquestioned that on arriving at tho capital be offered to resign, but the offer was declined, which be doubtless knew would he the case. The Herrera party were making vigorous forts to secure the election of their favo rite, hut with what prospect of success it is hard to say. The city of Mexico, it is stated, wilf be fortified with a large ditch and embank ment, and a force will be in readiness, sufficient to resist the attack of the Amer icans. Alvarez, the notorious robber of Sonniea, is on his march to join Santa An ng, with a large number of Indians-some say 10,000. The rumor that dn insuirrectiot' had ta ken place at Puebla, was utterly without oundat ion. The correspondent of the New Orleans Times says that on the con trary the people both the city and country seem to he much pleased wsith their con querors, and trade is quite brisk. Corm munication with the sea coast seems only to be' required, to bring all rnght again. General. Wortir and Scott were both in Pueblajvhen the courier passed through that city.' The dIlligened which was robbed a short time since, near' Puonto Nacional, has re turned to Jalapa not much injured. The depredator on the route is one Padre Jara nuts, with a band of guerilleros, which ru mor Lestimnates at from 50 to 400 nion. He declares war to the knife against the Americans, and swears he will rob and murder all who fall in his hande~.
