The Indianola had ,been nationalized, and tha,-' name Constitution given her.	/
On the 8th, the Constitution brought tbe^-'éíiip . Maria Concepcion iuto.the Port of Jami)ipo..aShe had attempted to take-, that vessel^seveiyf days lie-dbre. but could not. '¿yertake her. It was'ascertained by letters réceiM there’ by the Mexico, that the . Maria Concepcion left Havana as/» part of Marin’s fleet. The Captain Portilla “¿celares that he left Havana twenty days before,-for Galveston Texas, and that the currents had/hyówn them out of their course, fiiu't for four day» they had been lost, not being able to make observation,although the weather on the coast darlngthat time had been very pleasant Z'
Nothing satisfactory could ire obtained/rom her papers. /	•
The pilot boat -Arrogance hod also Leen taken near Alvarado and brought into port by.the Constitution. She had left Nsutius for Vera Cruz with a cargo^f provisions, but the Capt Benito Vifiaz, thinking that he could dispose of his'goods for a Iwttafcprice to the Zeacfionista, rvent to Alvarado no6 ppuhimg tiiat he should- find them there.

Il wav be however that the members of that con-ventiou*think that they have "strength enough to carrv-out tbeir plans, and went no .more voters among which (hey may be called upon to divide the . spoils, or perhaps they have an article ot their creed prescribing the time of probation of a new convert.

Dry.—A Strike.
I he weather for the last four or five monilis has been extremely dry, only one good rain having occurred during that time, while the thermometer has reached Sito. These, with the frequent high winds, that have been throwing sand in our eyes bo violen tiy of late, 1ms conspired to give old mother earth rather a dusty aspect in this immediate vicinity. And as the cisterns will not bear to be continually drawn upon without replenishing the question “How shall we gut water?” assumes an importance which caunol, be appreciated by those whose study has been “How shall we get rid of, it?1’ This question has been easily answered here-otore. The Rip Grande rolls majestically alou«-the .southern side of the-town, and has, in fact" wulnu a few years,¿nppróachcd a little too near tievee street, caLTyfog,:down iu ife rapid course, water enough to supply a.kingdom. We are not aware that any one has. eym-.'thought of supplying the c.ty with wa^r ■ by a steam pump, or yet by a home power. It has always been done by a barrilero, Hile! H'/lftE ie <i	e — _. i

"^^t^e^rehch over his shoulders. "Idle the ends are on । ttie gudgeons, he is rctaly lor duly, and furnishes water to the thirsty souls in the city, at prices varying from one picayune per barrel to twice that sum. So accustomed have the people become to depend : upon the barrilero, that he is regarded as one of the ' permanent institutions of the country, and without him when the cisterns failed, not one drop of water could, be obtained to cool tha ,parched tongues of such as might be in tieed-of -ltifor Btitili a purjxise.-Xut one bot dusty "day hist’ " week, the barrileros having duly considered'Jhe'matter, concluded to strike! not a barrel of .water would they sell to an American, at any price.. What is tobe done? the wheels of Government must stop, they can’t go without water. IVondcrif it wont affect the Italian question and thc‘prie|‘-of consols?
What reason can b(i given for such a movement, no one knows. Some'ascribe It toa mandate of Cortina, and predict that he will, as soon as the city is sufficiently reduced by thirst, make a terrible descent, with fire and the sword/ ' sweeping every gringo off the face of the earth. How the matter will terminate “ guien sabe.” Whether the barrileros will speedily resume their wonted occupation, or the people will devise other ways and means of getting a supply of, tb9 liquid element, or consent to die of thirst, will 'sfíón’.be settled, for they cannot do without water long;
Since VTiting the above we are happy to state that the captain of the strikers.has vamosed to the other side of the river. The “ barrileros ” have resumed their wonted occupations, and are now aflbrd-iug water at un medio, (6 J cfe.) per barr<y. The sun and moon rises and sets as usual, the wheels of government bid fair to roll ou as they have done— rather roughly—but better, perhaps, th&tt not to roll at all, and water is plenty, and cheap.
