Never have we witnessed, within the imits of our peaceful town, a deeper and more general feeling ofconsternation, than was exhibited on Friday evening last, up an the announcement of the fact, that the lifeless body of our highly esteemed fellow citizen, James H. Kennedy, Esq., had now been brought from Carlilse upon the Franklin Railroad. On the evening pre., vious, the most flattering accounts of Mr. K's.. condition had been received, and his friends looked forward with confidence to bis certain recovery ; when, in the midst of these sanguine expectations, without the slightest premonition, the arrival of bis corpse, mute though eloquent, first an ounaced the dreadful event. As no post mortem examination of the body was had, the definite and immediate :ause of death remains enveloped in mys tery, although no doubt is entertained eith tr by his attending physicians or those of >ur o .u place, that death was produced )y the wounds inflicted during the recent riot. On the evening preceeding his de :ease, Mr. Kennedy was in unusually fine spirits, and spoke of a decided improve nent in has feelings. About three o'clock, n the following morning, Mrs. K. ,was troused by an impediment in the respira :ion of the invalid. The physicians was moediately called, and discovered that he pulsation of the heart had, to all ap )earances, ceased. An attempt was made .o restore the circulation, by friction,. but it ailed ; and in a few moments Mr. K. had .eased to breathe. e Thus died the victim of a lawless mob. ae the.pursuit of his own property, one of our most useful and respected citizens, en tailing upon the community a loss from which it will not soon recover, and upon his own family; one, heart-rending and ir reparable. In the midst of this great calamity, it is, however, gratifying to know, that the last moments of the deceased were attended y those who were nearest and dearest to im in life-that every attention was m-in stered to hi'm in his last moments-and hat the heart-felt tears ofajwhole comnmu ity, assembledto pay the last sad tribute )f respect, have been copiously shed upon is premature grave. A duty, and a stern one too, is yet to be performed-th'e ends of an inflexible justice. sre-yet to be fulfilled, (or he guiltyaremam WPM nishet.i. Jt "7S .

One of the most remarkable inventions of the age is that of Mr. Thomas Blan chard of Boston, for murning busts, in a lathe. The art of turning cylinders, balls and any thing of uniform circular form, in common lathes, has long been.practised by ordinary turners, and is familiar to eve ry body. But the ideat of turning in a lathe articles deviating frams appears, at irst blush, preposterous and absurd. And yet precisely such a machine has been invnted for turning forms of .various irregular shapes, such as gun barrels and gun stocks, spokes of wheels aud shoe lasts, wig blocks, tackle blocks, and last, ot Ieast in importance, busts of the human head 3 Machines for all these purpose have been invented by Mr. Blanchard, and one of' the latter descrip'tion is now ini full and successful operation in Boston. SThe process of casting busts in a mould aftera model, has long been practiced, and they may be produced of lead, brass, iron, bronze, or any other maleable substance, as readily as pewter spoons, or bullets, may be cast in a monld. But the idea of turning out busts from beautiful mnarlble, by machinery and steam power, in an'y quattities and of various sizes, and with the most perfect accenracy, after a ingle model, is tuly atonishing, and would never have been dreamed of but by a creative genius like that of Thotnas Blaau chafd. lmagjne, gentle reader, a steam engine, in rapid motion, whimling round, and turning out the human head andi face divine, with nose, chin, lips, forchead, eyes, ears, neck, breast and shoulders, of perfect proportion and accuracy to nature! Imagine such an eccentric manchinie, and you. will have idea of tbe wonderful stretch of inveation which- conceived and comn pleted-such-a raculty Such a wonderful machine is now in successful operation in Boston. and if any person will take the-trouble to- search,.hle can see a bust of Daniel Webster rapidly revolving, in one end of a lathe, and'at the other he will see fac simile heads of .thbe great expounder, of any 'lesired sizes, turned out from marble, by machinery. When one of-these heads was- presented to Mr. Webster, rand he was Informed by what process it was produced, he excdaim ed, in astonishnient, that it was the "ms wonderful invention of the age." Wel he might; for who can imagine such . curious art?- Description is out off the question. He who doubts, or would un derstand it, must see for himself. I -have seen it, and there it is, open to the inspec (ion of any respectable inquirer. Busts of Judt;e Woodbury, of the Su preme (Jourt of the United States, have also been turned from the same ldthe. and those.who are familiar with the face o the learned Judge, can attest the accuracy of the likeness. What is equally curious busts and cameos may be turned after oat and the same model, into imitations ofanj sizes, from a colossal bust, to a miniature face suitable for a lady's brooch. Thos. Blanchard was born in Sutton Massachusetts, in 1788. He has been th originator of many useful things, - beside the lathe, fir tu-ning . multiform - objects His inventive genius was early developed At the age of thitteeu he invented a ma chine for paring apples, which operated well, and was much used in the village where he then lived. His next invention was.that of a ia. chine for making tacks. 'om Use M. 0. Picayuea, 8th inst. ' IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. The steamship Alabama arrived at at early hour yesterday from Vera Cruz touching at the Brazos, she left the former port on the 3d of July and the latter ua the 4th. The following pnaisengers came over on the Alabama from Vera Cruz; Capt. A. R. Heizel, assistant quarlermaster, Dr. A H. Sauglers, late beater of despatches from the Government to Gen. Scott a Messrs. E. G. Elliot and - C. F idley, al the army. and Messrs. Fisher, Tobbler, Forey, Richards, Carpenter, Teubrick, Harden, Tai. Moord, McCall, Mrs. Goa. tes, and thirty dischargedteamsters. By this arrival we have direct advidee from Mexico to the morning on the 29th ofJuue, and from Puebla to the 30th. Gen. Scott had not been able to leave Puebla, He was awaiting the reinfrce ments under Gen. Cadwallader and ,Gen. Pillow, who had inot arrived. Some e_ the papers mention .Gen Cadwallader arrived. at Puebla on the 30th... Leitei from Mr. Kendall of that date make-'d0 medtion of it,'though he was= atPeroir about thie 20th, a.watingfoi r enral Pil. very q e. s Ge I. , cottw is: said. tc have commui cated to. the.

Keodall' leiters rather encourage the prospects of an early peace; but we hate had acces: to letters from a very -responsible source in the city of Mexico which take a .very different view of the'subject. The *rite thinks Gen. Scott will have to march. intc Mexico to secure a peace. The censorship o.' the press existing it Mexico prevents us from knowing what measures to defend the city will be taken. Santa Anna -vas to leave the capital or the 30th ult., intending to pass three days in the country, fur the benefit of his health, It is said that every avenue of eutrance into the city is fortified, but the writer i1 Mexico, upon whom we very much rely, thinks the American army, will easily overcome all such obstacles-that the defence of their fortifications will only embarrass the Mexicans. We were unable to throw much light upon the mnovementuof Gen. Alvarez was at Atlixaco on the 14th of June with 30( Mexican cavalry. The Star thinks his forces have been greattly overrated. A long, elaborate louer is published ir1 the Star in Spanishattd English,addresscd to the people Mexico,. by an olfcer of then American army. We have rearl but portions ofC it, but it appears a calm, famil iar statement, aimed and well calcuated to teach Mexicans how unfounded . art their iuveterat'e prejudices against then United States, and the futility on their parn of a further prosecution of the wvar. Wn may recutr to o A correspondents ofEL Monitor Repub lica, writing from Puebla, says: "Gen. Scott.. with all of his engineers corps and a numbher of other ofticers-, pro'ceeded tin Cholula the otber day, and sfter ascend ing thme pyramid, argreed at once to fortifj the place." He thinics it only throwini salt tc- the fishes to fortify so- out of then way place, '1Tiie truth of the butsiness is, says the Star, that Geni. Scott neverweni there at all,- but that Gons.

We have a letter from a gal lant oflicer enclosing to us a sketch of the river Tabasco from Dlevil's Bend, so called h to the city, showing the landing and march t- of Com. Perry's farce, which consisted of v eleven hundred seamen and marines and is ten field .pieced. An account of the ex e pedition by an accomplished surgeon id e the navy, which. accompanied the map, d has failed to reach us as yet. But the map almost tells the story. The town- was a taken on the ldth of Jdine. The expedi g tion anchored in a'iery sabire turn of the u river called the Devil's Bend, and was d fired into from an ambuscade. A little I y higher up the landing of Com. Perry is f - marked. upon the left or north bank of the river. The route from this poitt Which ! the commodore pursued is t:acedi on the e map up to Fort Ituihide, which is- a short " distance below he city. The fdrt was f a mated by 200 regulars under den.' 9cha h aary, commandant general of the State. e The point is marked on the map where i Bruno's Civicos fired into the cotnodor's 1 y atearner from an ambuscade; this is be-1 a low the Devil's Turn. The next point of d interest is the breastwork whero Lieut. n May was wounded. So far our map tells o o us the story ; the rest requires but few ir words ; the forts which defend the town it yielded to the guns of ,the fleet, before the it land expedition could get into actiun. The t - enemy stood but one discharge of artillery. I e Lieut. May, it is said, had his arm broken t y and one officer wounded. It is said that i e none of our men were killed and only a I I few wounded. A sufficient force was left e behind to hold the town, and the commo a dore returned in the station off ,Anton e Lizardo on the 29th uIt. e PUEBLA, Mexico, June 30, 1847. s . All the talk now is of peace, immetjiate r peace, with the great Mexican nation, and I t those who talked but a short week ago of revelling in the halls of the 3lontezumas, a now appear to think they are just about as near the aforesaid halls 'as they ever will u be.. I hardly know what to think of the t matter. The arrival of-the heavy rein. e forcements known to be ort -the way for - Gen. Scott, conmbined with the loss of con t fidence the Mexican leaders have id them ; selves and. their followers, have turned their 'eelings to a dggree, and the most be e figerent'among them.may now really. be in e favor of coming to terms. Santa Anna v himself, although he will be very f'arlfrom, r startin the bUall, wi, doubtlesshlpiel:to' D Hieirs1idridifnda upon: at li.knows that he- )l bedeleated and a lose all if he makes, gnother .stand ;; by. y making cat's-paws of some of the members y ofongressatal getting thena to look with g an eyo of favor upon propositions fer peace, e he thinks that he may.be able to second y their niovemeots if any thing looks favora d bid, acid finally'himself '-eap all the bene h fits that ray grow out of it. What the a propositions are that have been made to e the Mexican government few here know; u, but what, with liritish interference; and the s timidity of the Mexican leaders, they have evidently been listened to. n 'Three days since add Hiardly a nion in a den. Scott,s army thought that there was it a hope of coming tor terms with the ene , my; now, the time has changed, and ma o ny of the otlcers are ever talking of the t chances of avoiding add escaping the eom s ito on their way home. With all the cry If of peace, I am not one of those who think d that our afairs with Niexico are yet settled. A grEat deal depdnds-ipon circumstances. e Should the upper train, contaiting as is s supposed a large sum of money, meet with r a reverse, the Mexicans would be embold r ed to otfer fresh resistance; should Santa 11 Anna find, on courntimg noses that a major. e 'ity arE against him in any committee ap -pointed by Conigress, he will 11e found -t among the fret to scoff atany idea of terms I with the perfidious Yankees; should, in fac't; airy thing turn out of whrich the Die. -tator nmay make capital for himself, no -matter whetber fat or- aguinist thie best in terests of his dearly fieloveil (1) country, d he will embrpce it for his own aggrandise h nrent. He wants time, he wants to "pro. erastiirgte, hre wants mu delay the approach i of Gen. Scott ipoir the capital--ini short, -s he wants to do any thing which may add s and furt her his owli amnbitious schemies. y There is soinre reason tat suppose thmat e Gen.gTsyruri is adivancing upon San Luis a although there is no positive inform'Etiorn . to that elfect. Withi the American flag fly s 'ing at.San Lois & Zacatecas, ih'e inhabi s tanrts of the capitol might be more dispos , ed towards talking of peace--his-, i'n case r the inhabitants wish to save the seat of go vertinent from the disgrace of having it m- occupied liy los estrangeros-But, as I s have before said, ths- p'eople' cannot be ' judged by arty rules which a pply to other y nations, and therefore the effect of seeing :t theiu foes on every side, and knocking. at 'every gate, cannot be-counted uipov. I. f might run on' for hours with specula d tions as to the present condition and future prospect of this war with Mexico; but as t ir would all end in speculation, I shall close rt wvith, a fewv remarks which may be taken .e for what they are north. Santa Anna, rt tired of fighting the Americans, is anxious is to make peace withibhem, although rea'rful it of openly avowitng it. ' The peace .party iwr te 'the capital-ths capitalists, and property holders--aro also anxious, unwilling, to. f stupport the war longer, and' taxed atremf'y ibeyond- what they conider their means. id' The 'military are anxious to see--the war 5- nudnud'as'the only. .mians by which trigaistaupport themnselves; the Iceperaos, 118 r's i$uflins of the country, carosbut; lit'i, 'one way or the oth er,,bow affairs go, ~'~that'tbey can steal enough to supply hemselves with binguirite, and - rijles. and tortillas to suppor life. t he [ndians care fo hg; and hey are the most numerous c tha they can sell their produce for s - which they have sufficient donfldedce anry, and many of the others inhabilantg f the cdnntry will follow their examples rhe priests--perhaps I shduld hafe pldc;' -d them at the top of the list-are ankionus to preserve their position and theirt riches rAi lthough they may look d on us as dogs: and heretics ; and thus you . hdv d 4e . nkling of thd feelings of the different par jess All these feelings and interesteadf. - er taking into consideration that al hatd and despise us-yotn niay niix up and theft rake out the chances for a peace. 1 do no know that-any one has reflected Maudh dpon this subject, bat to me' it segras hat this thing of makina a peace is to be it tore difficult matter than making- wan ; with the Mexidans, and will be surrduddedi with greater perplexities.-Texas has to = )e brought into questioti; dther houndaries aken into consideration, California is to % d ' ie a lone of contention, indemnificatios > '" and costs of war to be called into acoebt -, "?
