This information is sustained by ad y e s from A'capolco, contained in a letter to the New York Times': A buttle took place the first pari of November rt Htrmosillo, between two hundred and fourteen French' on the side, and seven hundred regular Mexican soldiers oh the other, the French burying, after the first fight, eighty-ihree ; Mexicans hav ing lost at the first fire of the latter twenty-one men. The French at the time were marching to wards Guayamas, when, as they reached Hermo sillo, the Mexicans suddenly fired upon them from a large walb d square,, killing every one of their officers, which staggered them for an instant ; but they rallied, mounted the waits, and fired down into the ynhj upon them as they would have done up .n a flock of urrkoya. ' The fight was afterwards continued for a short nmo iu the streets, with a supposed loss of aooai seventy-five men to the Mexicans and none .o the Count's party. The French then continued their wayto Guapamas, but were met by a messenger from the city, who represented I hat the town was destitute of hxrd and deserted, and tha" they would inevitably all perish unless they gave up the war. Count De Rouset at that time was being carried forward on a litter, nearly dead of the dysentery. Aflo( his Officers having been killed at Hermosillo, the men agreed to lay down' their arms on condi tion that Blanco should paylbem, eleven thousand dollars, with which to embark for Calilorna and Mazatlan, which he did. Rousset was taken on board for Mazatlan in almost a dying state.!! With the defeat of the Count, and the dispersion of his followers, is exploded, of course, the idea of the annexation of Sonora to France afta idea vhich was probably never entertained by the F.ench Government. 4 Faitiiful Servant.

Read it, and then say what received in connexion with its ostensible aim, is among the most instructive incidents in the politi cal history of the country. The confident pre diction of Ir.

The aysyim of revenue 'A'hicb was opposed by the Whig party because i would ruin the country and bankrupt the Government, is now assailed by that same parry on account of its excessive jield of reve nue. Forebodings of a deficiency in 1849, are answered by complaints of an accumulating sur plus in 1852. I he language of Mr. Brooks is a befitting commentary on the predictions of Mr. w . . .. Vinton. The fanciful speculations of Secretar Meredith contrast beautifully with the Jinanci statements, of Secretary Cor win.

Without ntering :ullv' into Ihe argument or in veslig ong the principles of con.tit': ioual law involved, we ;..ive come to n exclusion from a plsin comin sense view i.f ;ht.' Governor has the poorer lo fill the by the expiration of Mr. Matigi; sul thai :b i ocy caus d rin, on ihe 'ion oi the 4th ol March next, i he Cb Hulled States exfessly declares shall have two Senators !o rep each Sjaii' n tht higher branch of Congress, and in case of a va cancy from M death or otherwise," ihe Consti tution of this State invests the power to fill it in the Governor and Council. The only question to determine, is whether the failure to elect at the session, previous to the expiration ol the term, is such a vacancy, as contemplated by the Consti tution, we think it is, or the word "otherwise" would be a mere surplusage which could scarcely have occurred in an instrument drawn up so care- fnllv. Tho nffipp ot Senator is p.tmU.A bv ih Constitution, and for an indefinite period, and the person elected by the Legislature has a vested right only in the term which wfien expired by the limitation, must be filled, and if it is not filled, mom unuersioou iy inai woru If that vacancy occurred during the session of the Legislature, it is the duty of that body to fill it, if it occurred during the recess ir devolved up on the Governor to fill it. The Constitution is imperative the Stab s shall have two Senators and it contemplates no circumstances, under which lu 1 i-i a"'" ' ' d7scTagel'i1a go unrepresented ' If sp, jt is in the power of a' a few faciionisls to render null and void a oromi nent provision of the Federal Constitution. Tho' the framers of that instrument could not have so expressed themselves, without reflecting upon ihe Legislature, we think it must be a fair inference that they must have had such a case in view, when I hey used the word 'otherwise." In this instance, a vacancy occurs during the recess of the Legislature, for Mr. Manyum's term does not empire until the 4lh of March, and the Legislature has already adjourned. If the Gov ernor should make an appointment before that time it certainly would be void, f alter that lime, we think he would be sustained by the Senate. At any rate, who hope he will make the appoint ment and let the question be fairly setded. We have not had an opporluniy to examine the precedents established in former cases but lake ihe following upon that head from an able , , . . , n argument, .aie.y wrmen uy juuge uouen strange, which seems to settis the case in favor of the aft pointing power : "The first precedent relied qn is that of Mr. Lanman, a Sena!or from Connecticut, and we take the statement ot Ihe case and the decision 0r f ; uut n,e PCttKerT "lu noi,st'e tnc IO ,sur the Senate from a note made, as we understand, W ,h,s G IO !"

And this course was pursued by these mem bers M,r.

These gentlemen were speaking in good faith against the decision of the Speaker a decision that would not have been sustained by the House, had a rote been taken upon it. The Register knowa very well that during this entire movement every Dem ocratic member of the House, and many of the Whig members, were striving to get to a vote to rescind the Resolution to adjourn, while Mr. Cherry and others, during the whole of Wednesday night, occupied ihe position that no vote should be taken upon the report of :he Select Committee, and that, unless the Democrats would propose a plan by which the Districts should be laid off to suit them, they would consume the time till twelve o'clock, adjourn the twd Houses, and thus dissolve the gov ernment. And on Thursday mnrnintr th ravn. lutionary leaders wenf still further, and assumed j the extraordinary position that unless tbe rjjles were suspended and tbe bill was permitted to pass its third reading, they would discuss Mr. Strange's motion to send a message to the Senate proposing to rescind, until twelve o'clock, and thus break up the government ! The Register knows these facts to be as we pave stated them ; but that paper will never admit either these facts or any other facts connected with this unprecedented movement on the part of its party friends. We have shown in this and in articles which have preceded this, toe following facts: $ 1st. That the bill, as reported) by Messrs. Avery and Philips, assigned lo the Democrats 22 Dis tricts, to the Whigs 22, and left 6 in doubt. 2d. That the Whig leaders vehemently opposed this bill, nd openly declared, on Wedinjsday niglltthe 22d. that before it should pass they) could ttvwuiio .izc the government.

Editor : I assume the responsibility pf presenting to your columns, the following sensible, extract from the letter of a thoroughly practical and business man, late a citizen of your place, and who stiil feels a lively interest in your pros perity. In speaking of the Bank, he says : The Charlotte Merchants ought to take up the capital of the new Bank themselves, if they have any regard for the prosperity of the place, or the safety and profitableness of their own business. Agencies can never benefit the business of any place, and all the profits they make of course are drawn away to enrich other communities, whilst ii impoverishes to that extent those from whose business it is drawn, " If the Bank is undertaken at all, its success will depend entirely upon ihe industry nnd en ergy of those who manage it. And if they do not begin with enough of these elements to sweep everything in the shapeof Agencies and foreign paper out, they hud as well not begin at all." R' pectfully, A. B. PaoGRB-m.

The Democrats of the country bare regarded with anxiety not un mingled with surprise, tha late proceedings of the North Carolina Legisla? lure rand their faj)ure before the adjournment to elect an United Statea Senator. Tbe story is now out, and it is proper that the staunch, honest De. mocraey of the land should know apd understand the causes which have conspired lo leave the old North State unrepresented. It has been heretofore hinted that Ihe Hon. Ro mulus M. Saunders, was the leader of the seres, sion party, and that he contributed more than any other to render tbe election impossible. Bv the North Carolinian, received yesterday, we learn that jhe Hon. R. M. 3aunders waelect? ed Judge of the Superior Court of North Caroh na, at the late session of its Lglature : vice Hon. Wm. H. Battle, promoted to the Supreme Court Bench. Let the party in North Carolina mark this man well. He has failed in bis trust once, and there will be no excuse for them if they permit them, selves to be defeated twice through his agency. In connection with this matter, it is somewhat remarkable that General Saunders was elected to his present positions by a majority of some twenty-six. He stands, therefore, convicted of truck, ling to Whig influence for private benefit, and ho deserves watching in fulnre. Philadelphia Prnn. Thb Tkw Millions.

Ibson Can non, of Cabarrus, Hged about 17 years, was killed on the fir.it day of jaqqary, inst., by the acciden tal discharge of a gun jq hi own hands. He had laid the gun down fpr a moment, and in taking it up again took bold ol the muzzle and was in the act of drawing it to him when the cock, hanging against something on the ground, was suddenly released, and exploded the cap. The charge en. lered the left side just above the hip. He died in about fifteen minutes. His father reached him in lime only to receive from his lips an cccountof I he sad accident. He was a most promising young man, and his sudden death has cast a deep gloom over the minds of Ids bereaved parents, and a largn circle of frieqds, by whom he was much beloved. Salisbury Watchman.

The knives were about seven inch blade, and four inch handle, strong and pointed. After playing wph ihem lo.-a time, tossing and whirling litem in a most wonderlul manner, threw tnem one after another, fastening them firmly in the plank be I or.- him. He I hen drew tnem out, and another Chinaman took his stand before the plank, or rather rt the side of it, holding out his arm across the same, and the inv paler threw one knife above and another below it, as closely as they could have been pjacrd there by tbe most careful hand, completely fastening his arm upon the plank. The other arm was then reached across and fastened in the (a me way, the knives sticking firmly and the handles crossing each other. The Chinaman then reached forward his bead, and quick as thought two knives were thrown the ono eboye and the other below his neck, seemingly within one fourth of an inch on either side. Such precision and daring was truly wonderful, apd the whole evening's performance elicited unbounded applause.
