As to the intelligence thus received by the

Mexican Government has made overtures for
a! restoration of diplomatic relations between
the two countries ; that she is willing to treat
on the subject of boundaries; that she is wil

From our New:Yrli Correspondent.
New Yocr, Nov. 10, !Si5.
Afr. AUktA Dear Sir: We are enjyiog
great rommcrrial pnwperity; and the fall
traded though drawing to a close, is unusual.
active Inporlaul news fronuEuropo,
confirming the report of the failure of the
:rops, has had an enlivening effect upon the
market, considerably enhancing the value of
breadstuff. Tlie export of floor and pota.
toes is already considerable ; ani freights,
both from the interior and for Europe, have
advanced. Cotton remains unchanged in
price, though the den ::J is trifling, and few
sales are effected. The probable great ex.
port will have tho rflcct of. preventing specie
shipments, and materially support the pros.
perity we aro enjoying. Tho prospects of
business are good, as none of those specula
tivc elements exist which formerly nave had
too much effect in producing the same state
of things. 1
On Tuesday the election took place, and
passed off quietly no riots tnd very, little
bustle I need not tell you the news of our
defeat you doubtless have received tho re
turns. 1 Tho Loco ticket was carried by a
large majority. This is owing to the culpa.
blc indifference of the Whigs, and the perni
cious influence of Nativeism. 10.740 votes
were given for a Convention, 0,559 against,
leaving a majority for a , Convention of 4, 151.
' Oa Wednesday the Governor of the Slate
issued his proclamation, naming Thursday,
December 4, as Thanksgiving Day. Rev,
G. C. Beck with, of the Peace Society,' re
commends the Clergy to make peace the sub.
ject of their discourses on that occhsioni . A
very suitable and wel limed subject. ,
On Monday, about noon, Michael Viola,
a sailor, was assaulted in the streets by a gang
of young rowdies, and , on seizing one .of
them was fatally stabbed. Three boys arc
tn custody on the charge. .1
A shocking case of matricide was tried on
Thursday, at the sessions. A verdict of man
slaughter . in .the fourth degree was found
against Ellen Millen, charged with killing ber
mother. Irom the. evidence, it appears she
beat her mother oa the head with a piece of
wood, j The old woman was beard to cry ou',
7 Is that what. I reared you up for, to pull
your mother's grey hairs out of ' her head H.
A novel import has recently come to hand
the big gun east in England as the ' successor
of Capt. Stockton's Peace Maker. . ,
From the recently published statistics of
our almshouse and penitentiary,, it. appear!
that the greater portion of the wretched, the
destitute, and the criminal'are among theun
married. . It appears evident from this that
marriage has a beneficial moral effect .

! Ma. Editor : Wiih your permission, 1
will close the short history of our old friend
Bolton commenced some two weeks ago, by
giving you a yeryconeise account of his re
iigious experience, and his present' prospects
of a blissful immortality. But in the interim
allow me a few passing remarks on u.alters
and things nol so intimately connected will
the subject. I am' anxious, sir, if possible
to offer something in vindication of ihe moral
and civic character of our country especiaC
ly that portion of Jt which formerly-passed
under tlie misnomer of the Slate -of Bon-
combe.; Soroo persons at no greaf distance
from this, ,who honestly regard us as being in
a state not much above semi-barbarians. I
would like to remove this false impression,
but 1 forbear ; and I do so because this is the
land and village of my nativity; the home ol
my childhood, where many scenes of early
life still remain stamped on tho page of mem',
ory." And altboirgh many years have rolled
on to swell the tide of etrnity , since I last
romped in this moutnain air, or sipped tit
those limped fountains of health and longevity,
1 am not less proud to hail old Buncombe as
my own native. soil; and the tomb of my
fathers. , Once I was ashamed tojacknowledge
iny affinity' to those in the mountains." The
mpst disgusting, caricatures were presented
to me as lac similes of the state ;of society
here from which I concluded 'that our bc
loved community was indeed one of the most
barbarous spots oh the continent, except Tex.
as, and that it was i composed of all sorts of
mongrels, or xaihcr a heterogenous 'race oj
mortals, debased in such habits as placed them
far behind the. present march of civilization
and refinement. Some lime 'a6f'I wasjn
one of the adjoining states in the company of
some young ladies and an old gemlemn, who
by the way Iras more of a wiseacre than a
a wit, lo whom 'a young gentleman was- Da
sooner introduced than interrogated as to his
residence. And you live in Buncombe,-eh ?
