Me Collvim left Washington last week fe>r thc South-west, to turu over to thc Boards of Public Works iu the States "in that sections the various railroads which have been used by the Government during thc war. Ar? rangements will bc made by which the roll? ing stock furnished through the War De? partment will bo sold to the respective com? panies on credit. Fran) Mexico. KEW YOUR, Sept. 12. -A despatch to the Herald says the French have occupied Chi- j huahua. Juarez and ?his Cabinet have fled to El j Paso, which at present is the headquarters of the Mexican Government. The indications are that Juarez will soon be driven from his last foothold on Mexican soil, and will become a fugitive within the" borders of the United States. - ~- ? ? ? ? -- Foreign News. NEW YOKE, September 10.-Advices from Panama to the thirty-first of August have j been received. They state that the people of that place have been kept in constant ex- j citement ou account of the revolutionary movements going on in the interior, but which appear to have resulted in nothing decisive one way or the other. There was some probability that thc Government might be thrown, but there was little likeli? hood of any outbreak in that city. The contending parties had probably some 300 men or more each under arms; but they both apppeared afraid to precipitate a tight, and the chances were small of there being any immediate sacrif ce of life. Consider? able excitement had been occasioned by the Government seizures of two American ves? sels for transportation. It is said that their owners can claim no protection, as they were navigating Government waters without thc requisite authority, although thc United Stat 's Consul had given them a permit, which they supposed amounted toa protec? tion. The whole responsibility of the unfortunate imbi'or/liu seems to rest upon the Consul, who was ignorant of his power and duties in the promises. Tho Costa Rica and the Ariel, with United States troops for San Francisco, arrived at Aspinwall on the twenty-fifth ultimo. The conduct of tho troops on landing is represented as being most disgraceful. The news from Central America states that General Barrios, ex president of Salvador, is being tried by a ' council of war, and that he would in all probability be shot, -.notwithstanding the pledge given to Nicaragua, on tho deliver? ing iiim np, that his life would be spared. Dater advices from Peru, South America, represent the revolution in that country as still progressing. The rebel fleet had entered Callao? but were awaiting a reply from President Pozet to their ultimatum before opening (ire on the town. It seems to be a still a matter of uncertainty whether tho revolution will be successful. At the opening of the Court for the trial of Captain Wirz yesterday, Colonel Chip? man read to the Commission a letter ad? dressed to him by the prisoner asking that lie might have the religious comfort allowed liiin of receiving visits from Fathers Whec lan and Hamilton in their pastoral capacity. He says in his letter that he knows, and an all-seeing, all-knowing God knows bis inno? cence of the charges against him-charges tho very thought of which made him shud? der. The Court replied to this request that the letter would have* to be referred to tho War Department for its action, as the pri? soner was not in the custody of the Court, but there was no doubt in thc minds of the Court that the. request, would be granted. During the day, several witnesses were ex? amined, and important documentary evi? dence put in, among which was a letter from Capt. Wirz, to" the authorities at Richmond, asking for enlarged facilities to accommodate his prisoners. [AVi/r Yuri: Times, 9/7? hist. One George Washington Lafayette Meade announces in a Norfolk (Virginia] paper, thal if Jefferson Davis is not punished, he (Meade) will take the life of said Davis. This Meade is a Connecticut fellow, and the last that was soon of him in that State, ac? cording to the Bridgeport Farmer, he was seen running through the streets of that city, pursued by a woman, who was belaboring his bead and shoulders with a tin dipper. Tho people of Norfolk should be on their guard against this terrible fellow. Gen. Marmaduke, while on his way from Fort Warren to this ^ci ty, stopped at New Haven for an hour or'two, says the J?"'/is/?r, of that city, in order to consign to the proper hands the ring of a deceased Federal officer'from that place, thus religiously ful? filling a pledge he had given to a dying man, amid tho very -smoke and tumult ot battle. Such a man mny be a "traitor' worthy of exile, but lie is, also, nature's nobleman.-Aloe York Time*. The Postmaster-General has ordered ser vices on the following important railroads from Kingsville.

Translated from the French of Beret ager. BY MAGNUS. The village peace ami the summer nights, Tho perfumed airs ?uni tho rippjiu? streams, Shall bring mc back those dear delights That charmed my infant dreams. O'erspeut with vears of worldly care, I lore what tells of my infancy Yea, e'en Hie phantom tires thal were Such eause of wondering fear to lue. 1 start not no'o til < vening chime, But long to soe their dancing tine-. When the sicv grew dim with evening grey, 1 know wbal whispered talcs went round Of treasures beneath that dickering ray, . Concealed in the deep, damp ground. Put ah! 'twas said that those mocking tires Were spirits of woe on mischief bent; And t!ie thoughts which a fearful tale inspires, On a mission of dread my fancy sent. Such fears are few in reason's prune. And 1 long for the spirits" mocking lime. I remember well. I was scarce ten years, 1 wandered wild through thc mantling night; A p.lillimur called up my hopes and fears it might be my grandma's light. Thinks I, tin rcs a ? alie by the hearth for me Ami 1 ran to outstrip my soul-felt can-, When a shepherd cried: '?Why dare you to see Thc- feast of the dead that is holden there?" And such was my life ere reason's prime; Yet 1 love t!ie spirits' dancing time. I saw thai flickering llamo one night On thc tomi, of the .mood old village priest, And said, "i.iay thy soul have endless light In Heaven"' -.but ere ? ceased, Methought he cried from thc grave below: "Unhappy child, shall a wandering beam Of beauly dazzle thy reason so As to malic thy lifo.hut a dreamer's dream?" And I hoar that voice at evening chime, As 1 wait for thu sj?iits' dancing time. When Ko ;e was inv fancy's chosen bride, And gold would have granted my soul's desiri-, I looked around mc for fortune's guido, And followed the mocking tiru. It led nie on to a treacherous waste, And the heartless laughed at my woeful fall; But I knew that without me Bose was blest, And this was the wish most prized of all. Tims 1 tarry at evening chime, To watch thc ialse tire's dancing time. 'Tis wey, that my soul has soared awsy From carly errors and boyish fears; Bul ala-.', too, my head bas turned to grey, And not with thu snow-; of years. Though wisdom's light has ope'd my eyes, I missed the beauty I knew before; For when I studied less the skies, I loved tho bright Aurora more. J would, as of old, I fcarvd tho chime That tells of thu spirits' dancing time. SU?J?IK? itt Scuvcli of "Wives and Husliaiuls.

" THK LATEST SNAKE STORY-AN ANACONDA LOOSE IN OHIO.-Some two weeks ago wei saw in tlie New Philadelphia Z>e;?/>erw some ! account of a big suake winch had been seen ' in the neighborhood of Newcomertown and ! \ Port Washington, on thc 1*. C. and C. Hoad. ; "We regarded thc tale as a myth, but tin- 1 Democrat of the 11th instant returned to thc i charge, and said thc big snake was no myth. [ ?md ??hied. "He was actually seen, and in as much of VOlity ?is tin- great sea serpent ever was. A ! tanner from Hie neighborhood told a gentle- j man of tliis town that had been seen a year ' ago, trying to swallow a rabbit. His pre sence in that locality isaeeountod forby the I fact that about ten years ago a menagerie, j travelling through the country, had one of j the wagons to break down, and a young 1 anaconda made its escape. He has' now I grown to full size, ?md may be considered j a living wonder. The snake was* seen by j Andrew Stockei-, of Salem Township, SOUK-- i gime in June last, while he was plowing in j June last, while he was plowing in his field, ? It was as large ns an ordinary stove-pipe, ? and was standing with its head erect, and i as high as his. He made a hasty retreat, but snit! nothing ?it tue time, fearing that ? his story would not be believed. Mr. j Stocker is a reliable farmer, ?ind his state- ! ment is entitled to credit. The snake luis its lair near a culvert on the 1*. C. ?ind C. ? Railroad, about a mile above Port Washing- i ton. ?

C. and C. Hoad, we learn that the whole oountry in the vicinity of Port Washington and Newcomerstown was in a state of intense excitement, and that an immense concourse ! of people of both sexes, and of ?ill ages and occupations, had assembled at the former place for the purp?.se of having a grand hunt yasterday for the big snake who was sain to have his he iihpierters in a large swamp in the vicinity. "Some time before, the fanners in the neighborhood, it was said, luid oficred a ?$1,000 reward for the capture of his snake ship, whom they accused ot' milking their cows wiuhout h ave or license from the owner. The snake was estimated to be at least-thirty-two > et in lenght, and it was staled that, where he had crossed thc road*, ho left a trench in the sand of eight inches in width. We shall ?nv.lit tlie result of yes? terday's expedition to capture' the monster with some interest."' [OhioStatesman. August Otk.

The Pacific Railroad is completed to Col? fax, fifty-live miles from Sacramento, mak? ing the entire distance constructed since January twenty-four miles.
