VTZff Government Forces Defeated by Alvarez., Baltimore, Nov. 17. The New 'Orleans papers of Saturday last, as late as dueT are to hud. .They contain the de ails of the Mexican nexys received by the steamship Orizaba, aifd whfch, in some particulars Js quite the reverse of the account received by telegraph direct from KeV Orleans. ,, It appears that, in the battle ffoacht' -.at Cainpo Guerrero, the victory belomr- fjed to the -forces, of - Alvarez, who routed and pviUofiySOO of, the Government troons. iT ,t -rtfiMr head ,of some ornVrilla .mTOj-wim;gputBU ct HHMwerci., Wf wiyt a turn some 2,000 head of cattle. General Alvarez had issued an address to the citizens of Mexico, denouncing the Dictator, Santa Anna, and closing with "Down with the tyiaut death to the despot I" .. Thk Hon. J. C. Dosr.ix and the Sknator shii'. r-AVe perceive by the Washington Union that this gentleman, whose elevation to the United States Senate was anxiously desired by hosts of admirers in and out of the State, has written a letter to his friends at home, express ing a desire that his name may not be used in connection with the Senatorship to be supplied hy the approaching Legislature. While his friends in the State will sincerely regret this determination of Mr Dobbin, it is nevertheless gratifying to reflect that his ser vices will not be lost to the country but he will continue to occupy his present distinguished position, which he has filled with such marked ability and signal success, since the inauguration of the present administration. He has admin istered the affairs of the Navy Department in a manner alike creditable to himself, his State and his country: and under his continued management, that arm of the public service will be rendered infinitely more efficient than ever before. It is also gratifying to North Carolina pride to witness the strong hold which her favorite son has upon the confidence and esteem of Pre sident Pierce. Ulizabeth Citv Pioneer. Failures of the Administration. The Ad ministration has failed to commit itself to the speculating policy of its predecessor. It lias tailed to give way to the assaults of the abolitionists. It has failed to permit them to violate the Constitution of the United States. It has failed to yield to the insolent demands of foreign governments. It has failed to oppose the principles of pop ular sovereignty. It has failed to follow in the foot-stens of its vitrfny-Tniportant to the peace, tranquility and welfare of our country. It has failed to commit itself to Native Ameri canism, Jvnovv-otliiirsism. and fanaticism tren- erally. These are among the failures of the Adminis tration. VV e do not yonder that they excite the ire of the fusionists and whig leaders; but we do wonder that this ire should be so public ly and so bitterly manifested. Cleveland Plain dealer. In order to let the South see the platform on which the know-nothings of Massachusetts have triumphed, (and especially iu face of the efforts now making to inoculate the South with that dangerous fanaticism,-) we copy the fol lowing resolutions adopted by a recent conven tion of that party before the last election : "Resolved, lhat we had with hope and ioy the recent brilliant successes of the republican party in the btates ot Maine, Iowa, Indiana Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and we trust these victories, are a loresliauow or others soon to come, iy which ine iree taies snan present one solid phalanx of opposition to the aggressions of slavery. "Resolved, That in the present chaotic con dition of parties in Massachusetts, the only star above the horizon is the love of human liberty and the abhorrence of slavery, and. that it is the duty of all anti-slavery men to rally around the republican party as an organization which invites the united action ot t lie people on the one transcending question of slave dominion which now divides the L mon. A few evenings since a young lady named Ellen Tompkins, residing ou Race above Thir teenth street, dressed herself to go to 'the ball given by Reeves and Mine, in Mam Street Hall. After she had completed her toilet, and while waiting for her partner, she was seized with au apoplectic lit, and fell to the floor. When picked up she was found to be dead. The as tonishment of her friends and partner at her unexpected and sudden demise can be better imagined than described. Cincinnati Gazette. Utah. The special Washington correspon- dent of the New York Times savs: "The President still suspends the appointment of a successor to Brigham Young. There is undoubtedly a good reason for this. I hazard little in saying that the President has deter mined to make the issue with the Mormons, to see at once whether they intend to maintain the attitude of defiance to the Federal author ity which their present government aud spiritual leader Has assumed lor them. 1 oung certainly will not be re-appointed, and ought not to be. If his successor is to have a" struggle with the people of Utah, it is better that he should go out armed with all the moral power of the Government possible; and to this end probably he will not be appointed until the Senate is in session to confirm the nomination at once.

The Albany (New York) Argus says that the fol lowing notice appears in a German newspaper of that city ; , "As my husband, Joseph Rentz, has left me without any. provocation, and I have seen or heard nothing of him this last year past, I here by declare that unless he returns in three days from this date I shall take it as a divorce, and shall marry again immediately. Johavxa Rents." From the Jialeigh Standard. . The Lunatic Asylum. We accepted the polite invitation of Dr. E. C. Fisher, the Superintending Physician, a few days since, to visit the North Carolina Asylum for the insane in the course of coustruction near this City. - The length of the entire building is 726 feet, the width of. wings 40 feet, width of central portion of building 80 feet with front of 140 feet.,- There is a handsome dome on top of the central building, commanding an extensive view of the City and. surrounding country.; The wings are designed forpatieuts, one for females and the other for males,, and are three stories in height. Each story is divided longitudinally bv corridors, with cross line of separation for rttViiiWtl ofpstfTien tap each cmTjrtorCOJTtatnrnjr sitting room, dinjpg room, attendants rooms, bath room, space for pumb waiter, &c. The windows of the patient's apartments are to be supplied with cast iron sashes, the upper half of which will be glazed, and the lower half with out glass, with a wooden glazed sash adjacent to it, to be hoisted when necessary or desired; thus preventing escapes through ihe windows, and furnishing at the same time the necessary ventillation. The appearance ou the exterior of the window will be that, of single frame work. The central building, four stories in height, is designed for the officers and other persons con nected with the institution. It rests upon brick walls, 3 feet thick at lirst, and 2 feet thick to the roof. There is a inagniBcent arcade in front, resting on massive brick columns or pil lars. The first floor of central building is divi ded by an immense hall into two suites of rooms and offices in front, with a commodious dining room, rooms for Steward and Matron on one side having a dumb waiter closet, and on the ot her side apothecaries' apartment. The ceiling of the hall is supported by four handsome col umns of cast iron. The second floor is arranged in somewhat similar style, and is designed for private chambers. The third floor contains bed rooms, and a large Chapel for religious exercises on Sundays. The base of the rotunda suppor ting cupola above will be used as water tank rooms, where a constant supply of fresh water will be kept for distribution over the building by means of pipes. The walls of the basement, which extend throughout the entire building, are of stone and very substantially constructed. The middle of the basement will be the warm air chamber, with a passage on each side for purposes con nected with the building, one of them being ap propriated to the landing of dumb waiters from the rooms of the patients above, the other will be occupied by the main soil pipe running hori zontally, and connected with the vertical pipes from water closets above. The air will be heat ed by steam contained in coils of pipe placed iu sections of the chamber and will be conveyed to into corridors and rooms throughout the entire building. Each corridor will likewise contain foul air flues for the escape of foul air to the external atmosphere through ventilators in4hc centre oiLthe two wings; and fresh air will be constantly introduced iuto the warm air cham ber through apertures ou the sides of its walls. By the aid of a large fan in connection with the steam apparatus it is intended to supply the Apartments ot the mam building with abundant currents of fresh air during the summer months, which will add much to the comfort of all. The entire building is supplied with gas pipes for lighting it effectually with rosin gas, to be manutactured ou the grounds of the Asylum. This mode of lightiug commends itself both by its safety and economy, and will be a great improvement compared with the ordinary method. Eighty feet in the rear of the main building stands the kitchen, which is 80 feet by 40, and three stories high. The food will be prepared here, and carried to the basement of the main building, whence it will be conveyed to the up per apartments by dumbwaiters, before referred to. This arrangement is quite important, as it ensures system and regularity and obviates the necessity of servants passimr through the main building with food, &c. One hundred feet in the rear of the kitchen stands the boiler house, intended for steam en gine and boilers. There are rooms here for engineer, for fuel, fce, aud the floor above will be used as a laundry and drying room by steam power. Near this building is a large well, from which it is expected a sufficiency of water will be obtained for the institution. " Force pumps, by steam, will be used for delivering it at points where it may be needed. Some 10,000 gallons per day will be required during the summer months. The building is to be stuccoed, and is intend ed to represent light sandstone. The cornice around the entire building is the subject of ad miration by every visitor. The site of the building is most eligible and commanding. Early steps should be taken for completing it, for furnishing it, and for making the necessary enclosures and improvements on the grounds. We learn that the institution is designed to accommodate 250 patients. Judging from a nea ranees, it will require twelve months more to finish and fit it for -their reception. It is but simple justice to J)r Fisher, the in telligent and accomplished Superintending Physician, to state that he appears to be tho roughly informed as to the details of the build ing, and to be most devoted to his duties. The Commissioners could have appointed no one better qualified, by nature and education, than he is for the responsible post he fills. Free Trade. The Burlington (Yt.) Senti nel gives a sketch of an address recently deli vered in that place by Hon. George P. Marsh, returned U. S. Minister to Constantinople. In - - - i- -f -f 1 1.. -7,wl the course of his remarks, .ur .,uucu the tendency of the nations of the globe toward free trade. A conviction of the expediency and desirableness of removing restrictions upon commerce prevails almost universally abroad. The people of Europe, he said, would have custom houses and tariffs abolished, and gradu ally approximate ta the point of universal free trade. He had himself, as all knew, labored earnestly in support of a different policy, but lie was compelled to believe that the experi ment would be tried, sooner or later, aud the day is coming when free trade will prevail the world over, or at least very small ad valorem duties be imposed anywhere. Freamritftry Warning. A Story of a Faithful Dog. The following story is said, by the Ports mouth Chronicle, to be derived, aa to all ka-' facts, from a most respectable Quaker family, whose veracity cannot be doubted: " "About fifty years ago, in the western port of the State of New York, lived a lonely widow, named Mozher. Her husband had been dead many years, and her ouly daughter was grown p and married, living at the distance of a mile or two from the family mansiou. , . And thus the old lady lived alone iu her house day and night. Yet iu her conscious in nocence and trust in Providence, ' she felt safe and cheerful did her -work onietlv duriixr t.hn iy'I'il?.',!!1 Ht cveutide s.ent sweetly. . ""c murmur, -nowr wc awtwi jta an extraordinary and' unwonted gloom upon h.er mind, which was impressed with the apprehen sion that something strange was about to hap- I pen to ner or Hers, fto lull was .she of this thought that she could not stay at home that day, but must go abroad to give vent to it, by unbosoming herself to her friends, especially to her daughter. With her she spent the greater part of the day, and to her she several times repeated the recital of her apprehensions. The daughter as often repeated the assurances that the good mother had never done injury to aiy person, ami added, 'I cannot think any one would hurt you, for you have not an enemy iu the world.' As the day was declining, Mrs Mozher sought her home, but expressed the same feelings as she left her daughter's house. On her way home, she called on a neighbor, who lived in the last house before she reached her own. Here she again made known her continued appreheusious, which had nearly ri pened into fear, and from the lady of the man sion she received answers similar to those of her daughter. 'You have harmed no one in your whole lifetime, surely no one will molest you. Go home in quiet, and Rover shall go with you. Here Rover,' said she to a stout watch-dog that lay on the floor, 'here, Rover, go home with Mrs Mozher, and te care of her.' Rover did as he was told. The widow went home, milked her cows, took care of everything out of doors, and went to bed as usual. Rover had not left her for an instant. When she was fairly iu bed, he laid himself down upon the outside of the bed, and as the widow relied on his fidelity, and perhaps chid herself for needless fear, she fell asleep. Some time in the night she awoke, being startled, probably, by a slight noise outside of the house. It was so slight, however, that she was not aware of being startled at all, but heard as soon as she awoke, a sound like the raising of a window near her bed, which was iu a room on the ground floor. The dog neither .barked nor moved. Next mere wasluiouier sunim, .as H some one was in" the room and stepped cautiously on the floor. The woman saw nothing, but now for the first time felt the dog move, as he made a violent spring from the bed, and at the same moment something fell on the floor, sounding like a heavy log. Then followed other noises, like the pawing of a dog's feet; but soon all was still again, and the dog resumed his place on the bed without, having barked or growled. This time the widow did not go to sleep im mediately, but lay awake wondering, yet not deeming it best to get up. But at last she dropped asleep, and when she awoke the sun was shining. She hastily stepped out of bed, and there lay the body of a man extended on the floor, dead, with a large knife iu his hand, which was even now extended. The dog had seized him by the throat with a grasp of death. and neither man nor dog could utter a sound till all was over. This man was the widow's son-in-law, the husband of her only daughter. He coveted her little store of wealth, her house, her cattle, and her land; and instigated by this sordid impatience, he could not wait for the decay of nature to give her property up to him and his, as the only heirs apparent, but made this stealthy visit to do a deed of dark ness in the gloom of the night. A fearful reiri butiou awaited for him. The widow's appre hensions, communicated to her mind and im pressed upon her nerves by what unseen power we know not, the sympathy ot the woman who loaned her dog, and the silent but certain watch of the dog himself, formed a chain of events which brought the murderer's blood upon his own head, and which are difficult to be explain ed, without reference to that overruling Provi dence which numbers the hairs of our heads, watches the sparrow's fall, and 'shapes our deeds, rough hew them as we will.' When to ii Sweet Potatoes to i'res erve them from Rot. A gentleman who is an ex perienced farmer remarked in our presence the other day, that potatoes should be dug when they got ripe. We were at first a litte sur prised having never heard of ripe potatoes be fore, though often enough of raw ones. But a moment's reflection satisfied us that there must be good philosophy iu it, for nature very plain ly indicates the proper time to pluck all other fruits, aud why not the potatoe ? But how to tell a ripe potatoe was the question that puzzled us. 'Simple enough,' replied our informant. 'Pull several fftttatoes from different parts of your patch, break them and give them time to dry, aud if the fresh broken parts dry over per fectly white the potatoe is ripe, and should be du. But if of a darkish hue, the potatoe is not ripe and should be left to ripen. If dug when ripe they will keep, if not they will rot. Try it. Saitdcrsvilte Georgian. A Natural Curiositv. "We have several times heard of a spotted negro man belonging to Mr. A. F. Bruce, of Saline county. A few days ago we called to see him. His master informed us that the negro is about forty-five years old. At twelve he was copper color all over; at twenty years of age he was spotted like a leopard ; since that time he has been white nearly all over. He is now undergoing a second change the black spots increasing in size and number. The parts of his skin which are white are very white and clear, and as smooth as the skin of any laboring white man. The Teins in his arms hare the sama blue appearauce of those of the fairest skinned white man. The hair and features show that he is an unmixed African. He is stout, and always has been healthy, except a rheumatism in one leg, which is of late origin. In the hands of Baruum Joe would be a fortune.-r- Lexington (3Io.) Express. 5-V
