A few weeke since, io the Northern part of Texas, Ford's Rangers, consisting of forty seven men, were surprized and surrounded by eight hundred Indians, who demanded their surrender. Tbe Rangers refused, when a desperate battle ensued. Ford with four others, cut their way through and escaped. The event has produced the greatest excitement among the frontiersmen. The Columbus Corner Stone suggests to the ladies the importance of bearing in mind and of teaohing their daughters, that / if their clothes take fire, the safest and" surest means of stopping the flames, Is to lie down at once. Rushing in fright from room to room only aggravates the fire. He ought to caution them not to go within ten feet of a fire with their present style of dress. Advices from Tampicojo the 1st in stant, state that a revolution had broken out there and was raging violently. The strife was so desperate among tne parties mat passengers for that city dared not go on shore, but went to Havana. It is stated the original intention of Miramon, in. case he succeeded in taking Vera Cruz, was to burn and sack the city, but he had been positively assurred by the allied naval forces in that harbor that nothing of the kind would be allowed. According to the Vienna correspondent of the London Times, although Austria is willing to be a participator in the European Congress, she has-plainly stated to the representatives of the mediating powers, that there are certain matters which do not admit of discussion. These matters are th? treaties of 1815, which she will not consent to modify, and which Louis Napoleon is determined to overthrow. Both combatants oontinue arming, and Austria has 250,00C men in Italy. The French troops arc already mustering on the borders of that country. A N. Orleans paper says there is i little child in that city, which lost its mothei by Yellow Fever, last fall. The father lefl all alone with his baby, wondered a good while what he should do for it, when the thought struck him that it could be nursed by a nanny-goat. So, sure enough, he get* a goat and makes the trial. How do yot think it succeeded ? Why just so: the babj sucks the goat in fine style, and the goal seems to like it first rate. Whenever the child cries, the goat comes running, ever though she may be picking grass some dis tance from the bouse. There is an old storj about two little boys, named Romulus anc Remus, being suckled by a wolf. We havt rather doubted its truth heretofore, but fee half inclined to believe it now. May be it is a fact after all. Who knows ? It is related in old books that t Frenchman inserted an advertisement in t London paper as an April fool joke, to th< effect that a new discovery had been mad< by which potraits could be permanently fix ed upon a mirror by placing the subject be fore it. All who desired to witness the oper ation were invited to call, on the forenoon o April 1st, at a given place. The crowd wai immense. Gilded coaches, freighted witl nobility, and the humble pedestrian, aliki sought to gratify their curiosity. The ar rangement was such that, as they enteret the room, they saw themselves in a splendit mirror, and read, at the same time, in largi capitals, "April fool!" A French artist Daguerre, taking the suggestion of a portrai on glass, succeeded in evolving the princi pies of the beautiful art of photography.? Thus an April fool joke ripened into brillani discovery. - Cj\t JflrMle fapim z1 {' y ; ?^ I -* EDITED BV ' watvt't. W.

The Post*' r master General decides that a pen or pencil mark, II made for the sole purpose of attracting the eye ' I to a particular artiole or portion of printed mat j ter, does not subject such matter to letter post age, as insisted on by some postmasters. r The Charleston Courier, of the 10th instant, says: I It has been reported that two or three of the boys 1 attending the "Public School" of this city, have 1 followed the example of the boys at Boston in ro, fusing to utter the "Lord's Prayer of the English Vulgate. Two men have been obliged to give up business and quit Boston on account of heavy losses by gambling and the purchase of lottery 1 tickets, one having used up $40,000 and the other $12,000 in a short time.

POX. * Just dn the eve of goings to-.press last.week, , we received a letter from a friend in Wfnnsbora' mimtioning a case of small pox in that town, tot nhought it best to withhold the matter from qnr [columns. We gather the following particulars from the Register: " * 4'On Fridayxight last,, a stranger stopped at the Winneboro' Hotel, hiiing nnable to proceed 'further on account of sickness ; a physician was called to hie bed side, and the nature of the disease not being 6ufllcipntly developed to determine its real cbaracter.he thoughttiiit it would be.well 'not to venture tpon a mere ourmiso and put in '(urculation a report calculated to injure and cripple the interests of our town ; cm Monday night; however, there remained no longer any doubt as to its being that dreadful plagbe, small pox * * * * The fact of a case of Small Pox being Ip .town was circulated with the mpidity of electric; lty throughout the village,. and for thb last day or so vaccine matter bus been oudly called for.^? Tb'e exercises ot aii. zuqu unve ueci* du^^uw, and some few v^ery badly'frightened persons have :4?one to the country, while we at our leisure are penning upon good authority, the say-so' of our physieiaos, the ridiculousness of such a motive. We think the suspension of our school .exercises altogether too hasty and uncalled for beyond the -tfoadpw of all doubt; for as yet the disbase [9 corifiiiod'to the chamber of ?he sick man; and though those whom kindness and sympathy urged td wait upon the invalid should unfortunately fall victims io.it,-why even then it is quite likely flint due caution and prudence will prevent its assuming an epidemic form. As yet we see-mo groat cause for dread and apprehension, and this wado most assuredly promise, that we will chronicle the troth, -the whole truth, and nothing hut 1;he truth, with regard to it. * t The Register of Saturday last, 16th instant, says: - ,*"W? have no further intellgemcc to communicate with'regnrd to tins disease, than that the person ufflioted with it! is-doing as well as eojild ""oe expected.

The trial of Danixl E. Sickles, for the murder of Philip Barton Key, United States district Attorney, in February last, is progressing at Washington. We make, the following extracts / . ' # ' . , *% . ' > '.y 4 j .'from oor exchanges . *" . Washington, April 10.?The Sickles trial lias reached its crisis. It is the wish of defendant to space the character of Key, for his children's nalce, as far as it is compatible with the provocation he is-obliged to prove. Beyond this, it is not the desire of Mr.. Sickles to go; but if the prosecution, from hostile motives, are determined to assail the antecedents of Mr. Sickles, he will respond to them by unfolding a budget of licentiousness that wifl astonish tliis community, and carry desolation to many fire sides. Conclusive evidence is prepared to establish against Key, a series 0/ libidinous acts for the last two years and upwards, that will bring sbarae on all in anyVay 'connected with him. Let it b? hoped, for the sake of the parties, as well as for public decerny. .that the prosecution will, pause and reflect before it is tooiat^,. Mr. Sickles declared that the allegations' 6fi the prosecution against his early manhood, are unfounded, and no more than so many idle threats to deter him from exposing Ihe Immorality of Key. He is willing, for reasons -stated, to show forbearance, but it is for the prosecution to decide. The venerable Judge is an old friend pf Key and bis family, but he must, forget all suoh ties and exercise stern impartiality* If he allows testimony to assail the prisoner, be must also allow the prisoner to rebut this with testimony against the destroyer of his peace and home. It is thought here that Judge Crawford showed bias for the prosecution, in not ruling, as he had done in, similar cases, that Lutterworth, an eye-witness, should be put on the stand by the District Attorney. It may be, however, that he acted conscientiously. Washington, April 12.?Seven , witnesses,for the defence have" nojy been examined, iooludjng to'e Hon, K- J- Walker, and a servant of Sickles, ? _ .u, ?:i?- -M?. WJ10 WHS prcwnn nv iuc mile Hire, uuitiir oij.iiu the confession .of hei guilt. During the recdition-Qf-Mr, Walker's testimony, the prisoner was so overcome by bis em- tions, as to make it neces stiry that he should bd removed temporarily from the court room. The court adjourned while the argument was pending, touching the admissibility of Mrs. Sickles' confession, as evidenoe in, th$ base, which is said to contain the full particulars of repeated.offences. WawHtKOToji, April 18.?Mr, Carlisle for the {>rosecntioo, opened the proceedings to-day in a ong speech against the admissibility of Mrs. Teresa Sickles' confession,,as evidence His vuswa were sustained by Judge Crawford, who ruled it pot evidence. Prisopar'tt counsel noted an exception to the-ruling. Ijjiss Octavia Ridgely, ayouug and beautiful lUdy; one of the witnesses to Kirs. Sickles' confession, was extrfnined"-aete the circumstance? which transpired jn Sickles'* family three days previous, including the. cfey Key xas killed. Her evi"den6eshowed Sickles to have been ifi an agonizing state of mind, amounting almost to phrenzy. Bridget Duffy, Mrs. SickleB* nurse and chambermaio', was rc-called "and subjected to a most searching cross-examination, whiok failed to elicitunynew facts. She was an eye witnesq of Key's signals on 8unday with thebaodkerchief. Wm. Mannv a lawyer of Buffalo, was also a witness to the signals In the Park. No new features were elicited, and the Court adjourned at three o'clock. . .. . . ^ Washington, April 14.?The trial was continued to-day. George D. Woolridge, the first wit? ness called-to the stand, described the state of Sickles'" mind 6n Saturday and Sunday -previous to the killing as alarming in tbe "extreme. He saw Key wave bis handkerchief in the Park on Sunday. WliHe testifying, ffie prosecuting attorney objected to the character of the questions by the defence, and some sharp words were indulged in between Ould and Stanton. Subsequently Stanton was rebuked by tho Court for his boisterous toDe and violent gestures. John Keiler testified to having frequently seen. Key in Lafayette Square, making signals with his handkerchief.? Jeremiah Boyd saw Key near Sickles' bouse, looking at it. Charles Bacon had frequently seen signals. Others-testified to the same fact. News of the Day ? Our Mexican correspondent, * .k? ?i,o nnrt <?!of r,!t Willing XI UUJ ?u v uapuui v?ci WMWL UV ?U ? ,VA WAV., presents a meluncholy story of affairs in that city. The Liberals, to thenumber of 10,000 men, headed by Degollado and Alvarez, occupied every point surrounding the place, and. had pressed up so closely that their rifle-balls reached the plaza-, and-their evolutions could be watched from the house-tops. The troop9 were in good spirits, well fed and promptly paid. .Every outlet from the city had been cut off, the aqueduots stopped, and all possible means token to complete the ciose investment of the place. Further reinforcements were approaching from the North. Within the city all was confusion and alarm The Commander-in-Chief. General Mejia, a pure blooded Ind ian, had enforced martial law, and with his ruffians ruled the inhabitants despotically. HU main support was deGabriac, the French Envoy, backed by Otway,' the English resident, whose servility to his colleague bas earned bim the popular nickname of "Mr. Tool." The report of the recognition of President Jaurez by the Governor of the United States had been received, but was not credited. The flight of Miramon from Vera Cruz had caused uuiversal dismay. The first evidence in the Sickles case, yesterday, related to the lock taken from the door of the assignation house in Fifteenth street. Mr. Wagner, the locksmith who removed it, identified Mr. Jones, one of the Volunteer counsel for the pros ccution, as having been present at the time of the removal. Mr. Seeley testified that the order for the removal was given either by Mr. Jones or by Mr. Pendleton. Key's brother in-law. Mr. Poole testified positively that he heard Mr. Pendtiiton order the lock to be removed, and another put in its place. The Rev. Mr. Buckley, who was a fellow-student with Mr. Sickles, testified as to the latter's emotion on the occasion of the funeral of his patron. Professor Da Ponte, the object being to show the pronencss of Mr. Sickles to frantic out bursts on any moving occasion. The rest of testimony yesterday went to show the fact of adultery. The defence having stated their purpose to show that Key and Mrs. Sickles were living: in habitual adultery, a long debate took place as to the propriety of admitting such evidence, and the Court a^joured before the question was decided. Thereip-no abatement in the excitement attending the tridj, and thetlobrt room is crowded to cation each day. So much of the time is occupied hi thfe discussions of counsels, that in reality ,bnt . very little progress is made, audit is difficult to r ,teU when the trial js likely to terminate. It is qflite likely to occupy two weeks longer. , .

The late decision in the test case to try the legality of thfe proceedings of the Police Ktommihr sioners ifi dismissing the old Police force, Las thrown the Cdramissioners into a quandary.? About five hundred of the dismissed officers have.. reported for duty. The Commissioners are at a .loss what to do with them, inasmuch as there are now more policemen tbati the law altows, and no man can bo discharged frdtn> the force without ^ome evidence to prove him guilty of moral delinquency or of neglect of duty. If each man's case is tried separately,* as is 9uppos?d will be done,' there will be no end to' litigation, for all of which this ffinch-robbed city must pay from the pocket9 of the tax-payera. Proaably having in view what was to come, two of the Commission'er8 have resigned, end their successors hold the appointments with the plunder thereunto attached. The hard-working sons of toil, tb.e Mechanics", are in commotion. The orisis of '67 oaused a reduction in their wages to a very considerable extent.

It is .significant of the ii-fiuence which can be brought to bear most jpow irfully on the acquisition of the Island whenever the proper-time comes. Dispatches have been forwarded to the Captaiu General to look ont for the expedition, which it is not probable that he will, ever see.

A iumber of large baildings are about to bo commenced and extensive improvements projected, the aggregate cost of vrhich will not fall far^short of the sum of five million dollars.

The new story will be occupied by Bank Note Engravers, which fraternity have a great liking forthis building, it having been for a long time their beadquarters.

Having dispatched Romanism as it lives aqd moires and lias it's beiDg.among us, let me say that hereafter, I will, as opportunity, information and inclination may serve, do up for you, a view of the different denominations in this quiet christian city, along with matters of present, fresh and more varied interest. Among other things, I will just say that the Foang Men's Christian Association?Protestant of course?occupies a prominent position in these times in the christian movements in our city and elsewhere throughout the country. Here it has been organized for about seven years, I believe.? Zealous and large-hearted young men of the different sects are its members. They have a reading room and a worn for prayer meeting at the cotner of King and Beaufain streets. A prayer meeting evcr^ morning, from 8 to 9 o'clock, is held under thc-ir management, in the lecture room of the 2nd Baptist Churoh, Wentworth Street, which hoe Ka m Iflrrrnlv ntinnrfnr] nnr] npfimiafl.n mii/*h rrnnrl A prayer meeting is also spoken of in another part of the ei:y to be held from 12 to 1 o'clock, to be oalled the noon-day concert of prayer. The Assooi&tiou has a missionary feature in its plans? with a preaching place on Wolf Street, and also t? i) Sunday Schools in the upper and lower parts of the City respectively. I was present a few . wesks since at their Anniversary celebration on Suuuay evening at the Institute Hall, Meeting Street. The attendance was very large. The platform had some twenty Ministers upon it? among them, Drs. Smvtu, Forrest, Manly and ! Myers?and Reverends Wills, Bird, Girardevu, Gadsden, Southerland, Winkler, &c.? 1 Messrs. Soutuerland and Gadsden were the speakers?the first a Protestant Methodist?the ! other an Episcopal minister and nephew of Gen. Gadsden, late minister to Mexico.
