Tlio month of tli I'itsruoulii River is celebrated for Uie ' mysterious music ' tvliicii may bftee be heard on still summer even iiis. The listener lieinj on the beeeh, ov vet more' favorably upon the river, a low, plaintive simiiil ig heard, rising and falling like that of an 3olian liari,and seeming to issue from the water. The sounds, which j te reireseiite.l as iudiscribably sweet and nlaiutive, cease, as soon as there is any noise or disturbance of the water. The actual occurrence of this phenomenon, not only at the Month of ibePaseagoula, but other 'mints on the same coast, is fully at tested by anqoestiouable evidence. It is the Subject of various legends and traditions, hut the most hm sa ble conjecture in explanation of its origin is, that it is occasioned by some species of shell-Dsn or other marine animal. A somewhat similar phenomenon is mentioned by Sir Emerson Tenneut as occurring in certain situations on me coast oi C'evlon." JWir Amercan Cyclopccdia, vol. jcii., p. 18. Thus wrote the writer of the pies ent article, some eight or nine years ago. LI is purpose now is to confirm, correct, ami complete what was thus slated from secondary sources of in formation by the relation of some curiosities of later personal experi ence. For the better understanding and appreciation of these, it may b3 well to add to the above a few par ticulars, ihe details ot which were in compatible with the requirements erf cyclopaedic brevity. The ' mysterious music" has been the theme for curious wonder and romantic speculation from time im memorial eitainly from a period not long, if at all, subsequent to the first European settlement of that part of Ihe coast of whi t was then the extensive colony of Louisiana. Mr. ( lavarre. ill his " Louisiana," ing an account of a tour through the colony made by Governor Perier in the year 1727, "tells us that, "while among the Cascagouias, or oreau tmtertt bo was invited to go to the mouth of the river ot that name to listen to the mysterious music which floats on the waters particularly on a calm, moonlight night and which to this day excites the wonder ol visitors. It seems to issue from the caverns or grottos in the bed of the river, and sometimes oozes up through the water, under the very keel of the boat which contains the inquisitive traveler, whose ear it strikes as the distant concert of a thousand .Eolian harps. The following account of one. of the legends associated with the phe nomenon is condensed from the same author : On the Pascagoula coast, once dwelt a peculiar tribe, differing in color, customs, and religion, from other American Indians. Their com plexion was lighter, and tradition declared that their ancestors had siii uiifr from the sea. They were a 5 1 ... H " gentle, gay, lnoueiisive race, tuuu of holidays and festivals, living chiefly on tish and oysters, and sin gularly gifted with musical taste and powers. The principal object of their worship was a mermaid, or marine goddess, whose image they were wont to worship on moonlight nights with songs and si rains of ex quisite melody, drawn from musical instruments of shape and structure peculiar to their own rat e. Anmng these people, shortly after ihe destruction of Mauvila by DeSoto (in 1539, says Gayarre more proba My in 1540), appeared a venerable Christian missionary. He com menced the wo in et us nreterinit too curious an in quiry into that pnzzing problem. Other traditions attribute the " music " in question to the wailing of the spirits of an extinct tribe of Indians the last of whom after a long struggle with a hostile tribe, were driven into and perished in the sea. Vet another legend has a maiden in it. and rives us an aboriginal version of the old story of love, disappoint ment and a sapphic plunge into the deep. Local Intelligence, SATURDAY, SOV. 5, lsti'.i.

His tace is as homely as Indian's ever was; his anus rest mi couthly on his chair; and while his ips move, ones in a while iroin the dull eve snaps out a flash of fire. Benito Juarez, the same who made and sold cigarittos in New Orleans when the reactionists held the reins in Mexico; the same who. bv use of the bayonet and past prestige, holds Ihe President's chair today. One cannot doubt the nature of the man, alter his share of official cruelty in the Queretaro tragedy. In that sunken eye lurks no mercy for a de fenceless anti-Juaiist; and there is stuff in that grim face that angels could not move to pity. In the Congress, near 150 mem bers represent the twenty odd .States of the Republic, and do business for the nation. This body when in council is a curious picture. Here is the Castilian, fair and dark, the In dian, the mixed bloods the whole comprising every shade of color, from the whitest to the darkest, and every costume, from that of the teamster to the dandy, from the dandy to the statesman. Oratory there is none; of rant and "beating the wind,'' enough. In legislating there is a looseness and lack of method; and while some sound thinkers grace the assembly, there is a host of egotists and empty-heads. Here a lady never comes. In the galleries linger small groups, whose eyes wander about the paintings and scrolls, rather than towards the dull tr a i canals at his discretion. The genius of this function nry has lately been directed towards that difficult problem, the drainage of the city. The . Lake Tezcuco, when swollen by summer rains, backs up to the main plaza and floods the entire city. In 1829, fir a period of three months, the whole capital was deluged in three feet of water. Lesser inundations have been frequent, since, then. Durins these times water hursts from the earth in the streets in S the houses everywhere over the ' city. The site of Mexico is lower than the surrounding country, and for the two lakes one fresh, one i salt no outlet exists. The centre of the cfty is but a few feet above the ordinary level of the lake. Thsj place is therefore liable, to inunda tion during the prevalence of each rainy season.

The, Con gress changes its presiding officer every month. The scramble for this office is not undignified nor iu the least exciting. Although land outside of cities is not subject to taxation, within the gates the tax upon real and person al property is enormous. For every thing a man possesses and consumes he is heavily taxed. In nothing is he exempt. This burden is grievous njwn the people, and in many cases not only constitutes the profits of business, but swallows up the capi tal mill stock besides. With char acter st c me unless, (the authorities call it lfeeessity.) the government is not coutent with the immediate pay ment ot the present tax, but compels payment again of that wrung from the people during the empire. It is a clear case of grinding between the upper and nether millstones ot pow er. Complaints aTe futile. Usurpa tions and oppressions are the peo ple's inheritance; and they bend their necks to them, and wait for. belter times.
