CCf- In regard to the opinion set forth in the following article respecting the phenomena and its causes, we beg leave to difler from any one who asserts (we care not how learned he is) that said showers were caused by the upheavings of turkey buzzards, or the taking ifb cf putrid flesh by a whirlwind; and we pronounce such an opin ion erroneous for the following philosophical reason: In the seve'ral instances, and particu larly in the one we published, where this pheno menon has taken place, those who saw the oc currence expressly state that there vas blood with the flesh, and that it ran out of it on to the leaves or grass. If any one erer saw blood run from putrid flesh, we will give up the point. ' Flesh ami blood " is as distinct from putrid flesh, as milk is from bonnyclabber: From the Memphis (Tennessee) Enquirer. FLESH AND liLOOD. Mr Yancky: I observptl in your paper, a few days since, an article from tlie Kay etteville North Carolinian, in regard to the tii 11 of a shower of " flesh and blood" And inyoureditori.il in relation to the same, you say that it was a second edition to a humbug of the same kind in Middle Ten nessee, some vears since. I resided at the time within some fifteen miles ol tlie place where it occurred, in Wilson county. Some two days after the occurrence, 1 proposed to a friend of mine (Dr. Ed wards, J that we would go to the spot and see for ourselves. We did so, and conversed with the negroes who were in the field at the time and saw the shower. We gathered from the lobacco leaves, stumps &c, many specimens which had be- rnnip si.mpwh:it ilrieil. :im! h:nl torn u l h i n it .. . .

The same dav we visited Lebanon, some sis miles from the place of flesh and blood,'' w here v e found Dr. Troost, who had come up from Nashille, prompted by the same curiosity as ourselves; he had many speci mens, as well as books of reference ; and after a full seeing and examination, he returned to Nahville, and came out with FROM YUCATAN. We are indebted to the courtesy of a commercial house of this city for fate pa pers Irom Yucatan, including dates from Merida of the 4th, and Ca m peach v of the 5thinst. The prospect of a speady termination of the war with the insurgent Indians grows daily fainter anil fainter The recent boasts of the Yucatecos that the rebels were completely crushed appear to have had no firmer foundation than the desires of the whites. The wish was evidently father to the thought. So far from having suc cumbed to their foes, the Indians have re sumed active operations in many parts of the peninsula, particularly in the vicinity of Valladolid, the scene of many a bloody encounter.

It is known to many of our readers that it has been for some time in contemplation by the people ot Kdgecombe County to erect a suitable monument to the memory of their fellow-citizen Col. Wilson, who died at Vera Cruz., Mexico, on his way to join General Scott's division of the Army. The contract for its erection has been taken by Mr S. R. Ford of this city, proprietor of the Marble Yard here, for the sum of $1500. This sum has been raised in Edgecombe alone by the voluntary contri butions of individuals, a fact eminently creditable to the liberality ot that county. The monument is very nearly complet ed, and at the request of Mr Ford we look ed at it a few days ago. It is built of Marble, taken- from the quarries at West Stockbridge, Massachusetts which for du rability is represented to be superior to! any in the U. S. Its dimensions are as fo'itiws: 1st Case. 0 feet square, 2 feet 1 inches 2nd Base, 5 leet square, I loot, 8 inches 1st bub-base, 3 feet square, I foot, 2 inches high; 2nd Sub-base, 3 feet square, 1 foot high. The Die, on which are cut the records, is 2 feet square, and 4 feet high, with a Gothic Cap, on which stands the Pl vnth ot he Egyptian Obelisk, which is 12 feet fcigh. On the Obelisk is cut the Coat of Aims of the U. S. on one side; on the op posite siue are uic Emui .r !iaso. ic Order, on another side is a beautiful scriptural design. The height of the Monument is 23 feet, which is considerably higher than the Em met Monument in New York, and far higher than any in North Carolina, j We understood that it will be erected in the Public Square at Tarboro', and .that the Ceremonies will take place in jMay; if we forget not, on the 22nd day.

The steamer Monmouth, from Indian River, Florida, arrived at our port on 20th instant. She brought a number of passengers, including several officers of tho army in Florida. We have not obtained much news by this arrival, but sufficient to satisfy us, in con nection with news direct from Tampa, that the Indians have determined not to remove peaceably. Billy Bow Legs has evacuat ed his town with his followers, and with Sam Jones, has retired into the southern extremity of the Everglades, where they are perfectly secure from the operation of the army during the summer. We predicted this at the commencement of the war. We had seen enough of the treachery of the Indians to believe them in sincere in their professions; and, although a few came in and voluntarily emigrated, the movements of Captain Billy savored too much of former professions of the In dians, to induce us to credit the supposi tion that they would remove peaceably.
