Nine Days Later from Mexico. ‘The brig Delfina, Captain Poeal, from Vera Cruz, | whence she sailed on the 8rd flt., arrived at New | Orleans on the 23rd ult. | Although the papers contain no event of command- | ing interest, yet the details of Mexican affairs are not without importance. [From New Orleans Picayune, July 24.) Verbally we learn that the Mexican Government was {to send 20,000 men immediately to, the frontier of | Texas. Where these men were to be raised isa poser of | itself, but where the means to precure money enough | even to start them on such a fool’s errand is even a great. | er mystery, unless British gold is at the bottom. We give this rumoras we received it, and in the meantime proceed to such matters as we find in our files, | Not a word is said in the papers of the capital about a war with the United States. Some of the secret ses- | sions of the Senate may have been occupied with the | | subject, but nothing is divulged. | On the 20th of June a decree of Gen. Herrera was pro- mulgated, but dated the 16th, in which he formally calls anextra session of Congress, to convene on the —th | instant, for the purpose of taking into consideration—Ist, Constitutioval Reforms ; 2d,a revision of the acts of the Provisional Government ; and, 3d, subjects now pendi the action of the Chumbers, especially those of the Uni- ted States and Texas. This indicates clearly enough that Mexico has not yet determined what line ‘of policy to pursue towards ‘The country is so distracted by divisions amon, leading politicians and military’ men, that the Govern- ment is unable to concentrate public opinion upon any fixed plan of operations. ‘The people clamor tor war and tho integrity of the soil of the republic ; whilst the leaders, or most of them, are looking after their personal aggrandizement. | Wealluded in a former number to certain rumors | about raising additional troops. ‘This prolect has now | sumed a distinct form. It is proposed to enli a — number of recruits, nnder the name of Volun- teer Defenders of the Laws,” to be distinct from the re- gular army, although organized on the same footing as to discipline, &e. ‘This force isto be subject exclusively to the local civil authorities, each volunteer having the privilege to serve in the infantry or cavalry. As Con- grees has not yet passed this project into a law, we do notthink it necessary tooccupy ourselves with its de- tails. The Committee on Military affairs in the House have also reported a plan for the complete re-organizi tion of the regular army ; bst this, too, has not yet ceived'the sanction of Congress. 'It is apparent, ne’ theless, that the eyes of Mexicans are open to the nece! sity of providing further securities for domestic tranquil- lity, and for giving more compactness and force to the national troops. The news of the revolution of Tobasco was an- nounced in the city of Mexico on the 28th June. The Siz lio Diez y Nueve, itself the eloquent advocate of edera- ion,pronounces the affair the mostabsurd of all military outbreaks, and adds that the unauimous indignation of the Republic is the only feeling it will excite. “We,” say the editors, “have always been the advocates of the principles of the Constitution of 1824, and never shall | Cease to contend for them, because under this form alone can Mexico be constituted as it becomes her; yet we would be the first to declare that all true Federalists see with shame and indignation these infamous military in- surrections by which miserable aspirants would sacrifice | to their own personal interests and odious love of power the respectability and the principles of a cause which they would in vain seek to discredit. The cause will triumph, but these nefarious men will not thereby se- cure the ends they aim at in committing so great-an er- ror—so great a crime.” ‘The papers contain full details of the plan of this revo- | lution, but we have given them all substantially before. it ay pdarethute gout number of military officers and public officials could not be seduced into the scheme,and some of the former made their escape from Tobasco by sea, cerrying with them a considerable part of the arma- mentof the garrison. It is too soon to know what mea- sures the government will propose in the premises. There is a most voluminous correspondence in the Si- lo between the French and English commanders on the Mazatlan station, the respective Consuls of the two na- tions, and the authorities of Mazatlan, in relation to cer- tain claims of indemnity made by French citizens upon the city. The French do not appear to have taken much | by their motion. We have no room for the correspon- dence. Gen. Rangel has been sentenced by a court martial— for his late revolutionary attempt in the city of Mexi in which he treated the President and his cabinet with such indignity—to ten year’s imprisonment, without the loxs of his rank—a truly Mexican punishment for trea- sen. Another authority, but usually not so well inform- 4, says he is stripped of rank and ‘all employment and banished forten years. ‘The ire of the Mexicans was a Roca deal aroused, apparently, at seeing him getoff so easily. | ** Watinve’ before annonnced that Senor Gomez Farias had been elected to the Senate of Mexico. Accordin tothe Siglo, Senor Farias was in some way implicat the attempt made by Rangel on the 7th of June, and had secreted himself. From his concealment he ad- da communication te the Executive, stating his ess to enter upon his duties as Senator, and de- siring that a day might be appointed for him to take the necessary oaths. ‘The appropriate Minister transmitted | this to the Senate, informing them that the Executive | Government had issued orders for the arrest of Senor Farias, having reason to believe him compromised in | the attempt of the 7th, and that as soon as it should suc- | ceed insecuring him, he would be placed at the dispo- | sition of the Grand Jury, taking care that he should be | guarded with all due consideration. All the papers were sent tothe Grand Jury, and final Senate preceeded to supply the place of Senor Fa- and the election, made by lot, resulted in favor of Senor Quintana Roo. ‘The Siglo of the 27th says that Senor Farias still remained in his.concealment. On the 26th, the Senate proceeded to count the votes of the Departmental Assemblies, to fill the vacancy in | their body occasioned by the decease of Senor Chico | Sein. Senor Farias had the highest number of yotes, but | was declared ineligible, as he had already been elected and declared Senator in place of Senor Camacho. The | two next highest candidates, having received two votes each, were pronounced destitute of the constitutional | requisites, and then the Senate proceeded to draw from | the candidates having received but one vote each. The | lot fell to Senor D. Pedro Tames, a former Governor of | Jalisco, represented as a man of great ability and dis- tinguished learning, and a friend of the present Govern- ment. ‘Thus has Senor Farias lost a seat in the Senate by the very dexterous management of his enemies. The rea- der’ will bear in mind that the Siglo is violently opposed to Senor Farias in politics, and its representations should therefore be taken with some grains of allowance. The Observator Zacatano of the 19th June announces that General Paredes, communding the third division of the army, would transfer his head-quarters from Lagos to the capital of the Department of San Luis Potosi, and he was to move that or the following day. Both houses of Congress have béen engi consideration of a reform of the existing tariff, as sug- gested by the Executive. They have notyet been able to | act harmoniously in the matter. The Senate was occu- pied with this subject exclusively on the 14th and 16th ult, The Presidential canvass continues to occupy most of the attention of the different journals, but it is carried on with much moderation on paper, The reform of the Organic Bases also calls out a great deal of public dis- cussion, The Siglo, which is strongly in favor of reform, devotes a long leader, powerfully written, almost daily to the subject. The publication of the Monitor Constitutional Indepen dente, in the city of Mexico, has been suspended, but the editors announce that they have associated themselves with the conductors of another journal, and that a new paper will be issued vy them under the title of El amigo del Pueblo. Senor Don Manuel Barandez h trial, refusing to avail himself of the act of amnesty. asks, however, that he should be allowed to go at large and not committed to prison during the time previous to his trial, he undertaking to give the amplest security to | appear and answer his accusers, a Senores Zenen, Santibannez, Jimenes and Jeuregui | Gen. Bustamente reached the capital on the 2Ist ult. or | He immediately offered his services to the government | to maintain the national claim upon Texas. It was thought these services would be accepted, The contractors announce that the line of stages to | be pnt on between Queretaro and San Luis Potosi by the | Ist inst. as promised, will not, in consequence of the dif- ficulty in finding coaches, commence running till the Ist of September.

A wretch named Castaneda made disho- | orable proposals to the wife of his friend, Senor Vargas. | he resisted them, whereupon the brute took Ufe, and that of a son and brother of his friend. then stole a horse and some other effects, and fled. ‘This happened onthe 9th of April last, He was pursu- ed, taken, tried ond found guilty, and on the 2ist of the | same month was sentenced to death. He had two sub- sequent hearings before the court, butthe judges deci- | ded that there was no good cause for delay, and he was executed on the 12th of May, just thirty-three days after the perpetration of his atrocities. Pretty well, this, for a Mexican court. [From N, O. Republican, July 24.) In consequence of the annexation measure being effec | ted, a new organization of the militia of the Republic | has been ordered ; the levies under this regulation, are [called the ‘voluntary defenders of the laws.” Itis | stated that, among other indications of the prospect of a warat Vera Cruz, the inhabitants are fully engaged in | covering the flat roofs of their houses with sand, to the | depth of a foot or more, in anticipation of a bombard: | Anent of the town. An official statement of the military | force of the country is published, the aggregate of which is about 90,000. OF this force about 19,000 are infantry, 2,600 cavalry, 7,500 artillery, 1,800 sappers and miners.

Bulletin, July 24.] Mazatian, 23d April, 1845.—On the 18th inst. consid- erable excitement was caused in this place, occasioned by a body of artillerymen marching through the princi- pal streets, towards the Custom House. On their arri- val at that place, the officer in command received orders from the Collector of the Aduana Terestre, to accompany one of the clerks of the said office with Sestigos and lay a forced embargo at the point of the bayonet on the pro- pom of the only two American houses in the place, Parrott & Co., and Mott, Talbott & Co., to satisfy a de- mand for duties caused by a law of the State of Sinoloa, 1834, which law was annulled in 1837 by the tariff of | that year, and from that date up toa few days previous to the date of this, the Custom House had never demand- ed from any house such duties. The house of Parrott & €o., of course, was embargoed, on property to the amount of $45,000, to satisfy the claim, only amounting ta about $4,000; after which the troops were marched to the house of Messrs. Mott, Talbott & Co., with the ob- ject of la: ing anembargo on their property, but Capt. Hope, of H. B. M. frigate ‘Thalia, interfered and prevent- ed the embargoes being laid, one of the partners of the said firm being a British subject. Mr. Parrott, who, for many years, has been our Consul at Mazatlan, suffered with much patience the indignity to his person, and as the diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico are suspended, he has no resource in seeking redress from the Mexican Government, and very Properly called in the*French Consul to witness the proceeding, which are i!legal and unjust from the commencement, as | no judge or cumpetent authority in the place had passed seritence, or judgment in any shape or form, on the pro- | eedings. ir, Parrott has gone before the Fiench con- suland made ovt his protest, and will submit it to his | government, to be settled with the other difficulties now | pending with Mexico. There are at Mazatlan nearly a dozen importing houses, and notwithstanding nota single demand hus been inade by the Collector against them for duties, having, as it appears, determined to take his revenge out ofthe Americans.’ Many respectable citi- zeus seeing these scandalous proceedings, have used their influence to conciliate matters, It is properto re- mark that in the year 1834, this State passed a law impos- ing a duty on n goods imported, of one-eighth part of the import ditties, to defray the expenses of the State, This duty was paid up to 1837, when the tariff’ of that year took effect, and the Central System of Government was established, the State Governments were abolished —the General Government abolished all the rights of the States to make and enforce laws. It appears thatall the duties have long since been paid, agreeable to the tariff of 1837, which was a general disposition of, the Supreme Government. Apu 24rH.—The Prefecto of the Port has addressed a letter to the Governor of the State, complaining ia strong terms against the violent and unjust proceedings against the Americans, and very properly pointed out that they were caprices ofthe Collector, and from the concourse of people who were present, it was suflicient to disturb the peace ofthe port and bring on tie coun- try a war. i April 26th.—The embargo on the property of the Ame- rican Consul has not been raixed notwithstanding a meet- ing has taken place to that effect. 'Che Consul is deter- mined to resist the payment and suffer his property to be sold. A military force was again demanded for laying the embargo on Mott, Talbott & Co’s property, but it was wisely refused, Overtures have been made to the Con- sul, that if he would address a letter to the Gefe Supe- rior de Hacienda, his property would be released, but he has refused, and is determined to let the matter take ita course. Other outrages will follow. ‘Two-thirds of all the claims of American citizens laid before the Board of Commissioners were caused by the arbitrary laws of the States of Mexico, and this was one of the motives why the Central System of Government was established, a3 the States had always the General Government in difficulties. Berrer Late taan Never.—Early in May last, we, incommon with many of our cotemporar: gave currency tocertain horrible disclosures of crime, Said to have been by Wyatt, (a convict at Auburn, then and now under indictment for the murder of Gor- don, a fellow prisoner,) to Mr. J. H. Green, the “Re- formed Gambler” ~the particulars of which are no doubt fresh in the recollection of our readers. The trial of Wyatt for the murder bemg close at hand, the Chaplain of the Auburn Prison, under a sense of justice to the prisoner, comes before the public with a flat denial of the truth of Green's statements; and we comply cheer- fully with the :equest to insert the contradiction :— [From the Auburn Journal, July Srare Prison, (Auburn, N.Y.) July 26th, 1846, Mr. Ouurnaxr—Sir : In justice to an unfortunate pri- soner now in chains, awaiting his trial at the next sit- ting of the Court in this place, 1 feel in duty bound to say to the public, that whatever Wyatt’s character and | conduct may have been, or however many murders he may have committed, and may ultimately be revealed to the public through the proper channels—yet all Mir, Green has said about Wyatt's having confided to him, that he, with three others, were whipped a thousand lashes at Vicksburg, which had been the cause of se- ven murders, and that Gordon was the seventh man he (Wyatt) had killed, and that he (Wyatt) positively kill- ed the man at St. Louis, for which an innocent man wes hung—and that he (Wyatt) said he killed Tucker in 1839 between Natchez and New Orleans, is untrue, to my certain knowledge. Mr. Green’s visits were all made in my presence, while Wyatt was confined in his cell, a room some four by seven feet in size—hence al! that passed between them could be distinctly heard and known by all three of us. T have no disposition to injure Mr. Green, but I’ should do violence to every principle of dnitice and humanity, were I toremain silent, and see a fellow being tried for his life in the midst of that prejudice which has already condemned the criminal to a thousand deaths, by Mr. Green’s published declarations of Wyatt" sions, of bloody deeds and horrid murd ality, the prisoner has made no such confessions to him, to my certain knowledge. To avoid this unpleasant task, I addressed a private® note to Mr. Green, calling for a satisfactory expla tion, but in his reply, he utterly refuses a single re- traction, and the only alternative left me is to let the risoner suffer this great injustice, or disabuse the pub- is 'mind from the wrong impressions made by fabrics, tions of Mr. Green. Thope to be spared the disagreeable necessity of re- sorting to eaperepers of the day, to correct any further improprieties of Mr. Green on this subject. If Lam not, I will give a specific catalogue of them in my next.

Although there is now a solemn compact ob tory upon both parties for the admission of Tex: State of the Union; yet, until the further action of the Congress of the United States upon this subject, and in- structions founded thereon from this department, you willcollect duties as heretofore upon all the imports from Texas into the United States. A similar question arose in relation to exports from Florida into New Orleans in 1319, when it was decided by the Treasury Department, “ have been or may be imported trom act of Congress shall be passed erectin; lection district, and authorizing the app officer to reside thereat, for the purpose of supe: ing the collection of duties, will be liable to duty.” f, then, as is apprehended, imports should now be made from foreign ports into Texas, with a view to in troduction here free of duty from Texas, upon her for- mah admission by Congress as a State of the Union, such exemption from duty, in conformity with the decision before quoted in relation to Florida, could not be permit- ted “hetore an act of Congress shall be passed erecting it (Texas) into a collection district.”. When Congress shall pass such an act, ample provision can be made therein to prevent the sacrifice of our revenue by the evasion of our laws, as is now believed to be contem- plated. P3d: in all. cases where application is made to enter goods with the privilege of drawback of duties on expor- tations into Texas, before granting the debenture certi- uu will diligently inquire into the circumstances with a view to ascertain whether this expor- tation is intended for the consumption of the cargo in ‘Texas, or for re-importation into the United States ; and any attempt to obtain a drawback of the duties, where the goods are really designed for consumption within our limits, is a manifest fraud on our revenue laws, which will be prevented by all the lawful means within the power of this department. ‘Aker the acquisition and occupation of Louisiane, by lector at it into a col- tment of an tend. n order of the Treasury Department, the Co New Orleans was directed “to consider Baton Rouge, and other settlements now in possession of Spain, whether vn the Mississippi, Iberville, the lakes, or the seacoast, In the same order it was declared, “in no instance, however, are yauto allow drawbacks for goods which, have been lanied, and may afterwards be exported to such places.” This order was issued by one of my predecessors (Albeit Gallatin) and was ‘anctioned by Mr. Jefferson, then Pra@ldent of the Uni- ted States. By the 80th section of the act of Congress of the 2d of March, 1799, it is provided, ‘* That the Collector aforesaid may refuse to grant such debenture or debentures, in case it shall appear to him that any error has arisen, or any frand has been committed; and, in ease of such refusal, if the debenture or debentures claimed shall exceed one hun- dred dollars, it shall be the duty of said Collector tp repre- sent the case to the Comptroller of the Treasury,who shall determine whether such debenture or debentures shall be granted or not.” An entry for drawback, w view to reimportation, free of all duty, into the United States, is a fraud within the meaning of this act; and in all such cases it is the duty of the collector to refuse the debenture certificate. In all cases where the debenture shall not exceed one hundred doliars, the collector will judge for himself, whether such fraud as. is before desig- ‘ated is contemplated; and, in the language of the law, the debenture or debentures claimed shall exceed one hundred dollars, it shall be the duty of the col- lector to represent’ the case to.the Comptroller of the ‘Treasury, who shall determine whether such debenture or debentures shall be granted or not.” By the 76th section of the act of 2d March, 1799, it is provided as follows:—* And the said exporter or export- ers shall likewise make oath that the said goods so no- ticed for exportation, and laden on board such ship or vessel previous to the clearance thereof, or within ten days after such clearance, are truly intended to be ex- ported to the place whereof notice shall have been given aml are not intended to be relanded within the United States; otherwise, the said goods, wares, and merchan- dize, shall not be entitled to the benefit of drawback.” If, then, in point of fact, tke goods thus exported to Texas are intended to “be relanded within the United States,” they are not entitled to drawback; and, if re- landed, are subject to seizure and forfeiture, as well as the vessel in which they are thus introduced. Great vigilance will be required in obtaining ample security upon ail export bonds, as those bonds may not be cancelled in any case of exportation of goods to Texas with the privilege of drawback, until the numer- and important questions arising under such bonds have been finally adjudicated. You will in no case omit to publish in the newspapers, as now required by law, the names of all persons who shall be found gu: of the violations of the revenue laws tuerein prescribed, as well as to seize for forfeiture the goods, vessel, tackle, apparel, and furniture, in all such he speculations referred to would diminish the ie, and affect injuriously the interests of the id States, and of Texas as a part of the jlance apd the most cordial co-ope- ration are expected from all@ificers of the customs, in carrying these instructions most fully into immediate effect. Very respectfully, R. Waker, Secretary of the Treasury. revenu Navat Inreticence.—The U. S. steamer Mis- sissippi hauled out from the wharf at the Navy Yard, Charlestown, early yesterday morning, and came to anchor off Long wharf. About 10 o’clock she got un- der way ani started on in experimental trip down the harbor, the chief object of which was to test the work- ing of Stevens’ wnich have lately been fitted to her engine machinery. ' She had proceeded only a few lengths when it was found necessary to stop her, to un- ship and take in the accommodation ladders, the foot- steps of which had become immersed in water from the revolution of the paddle wheels. This done at 10 13 she was got under way again, and at 10 21 passed Fort Inde- pendence, not yet having’ a good head of steam on. At (0 38 passed Long Island Head, having run 6 miles in 25 minutes, being, of course, at the average rate of 12 mile: the hour. Between Long Island Head and Deer Islai she was turned round several times, making a circle somewhat less than one-third of a mile in diame! and performing the entire circle in nine minutes. The object of this was to test the facility with which she may be turned round, At 11 4 started to return ; 11 14 opposite to Fort Independence, going by log 7; knots against a strong tide, and not much steam on. Here she was stopped.— Time required in stopping was 2} minutes. At 11 20 un- der way again; at 11 38 came to anchor off Lone wharf. ‘The steamer was very deep, having on board about 600 tons of coal, besides all her stores, except powder. She was, moreover, a good deal down by the head ; yet the trial may be considered quite s tisfactory. In fair trim we should suppose she could make 12 knots with The cuts off appear to work admirably, making, were told, a saving of about one fifth in the consump- tion of cold. Her machinery being now completed, she will take her powder on board to-day and proceed to sea as soon as the inspecting officers make their report upon the cuts off. Should this require a few days delay, she will probably make another trial outside the harbor to- morrow. She is indeed a nob! — Be Post, sdug. 1 Tue Progress or Enrerrrise.—The Pittsburg Gazette has « pleasing story to tell of the rapid growth of manufactories in that city. Among other mills is mentioced a tack and braid factory, that turns out 4 to 500,000 per day, A manulactory of anvils is also to be established there Two rolling mills of the largest size are building. There is also.a cotton factory 156 feet long, 40 teet wide and five stories high, to run 7000 spindles ; a corresponding number of looms, and to be propelied by steam.

It has been long a matter of reflection to the read- ing public, why it is, that Washington, as important a place as it is, is not represented more frequently in your valuable sheet, by setting forth its great advan- tages, that those at a distance may profit thereby. Perhaps there is no town in the United States, through which there is the same amount of stage travelling, situated as it is, on the great national road, within three days travel of Baltimore and Phi- ladelphia, and only twenty-five miles trom Pittsburg and thirty-two from Wheeling, thereby possessing the great advantages. to be derived from those flour. ishing neighbors. Washington contains about 2800 inhabitants, composing a very moral and industrious community, who keepa vigilant eye on old Satan, that he may commit no depredations in this portion of the vineyard. The ad. owl finds the guitison ably manned, the pulpits being filled with men of profound piety and strong intellect, who are able to combat with his whole powers combined, in his palmiest days. We have here a Female Seminary for the educa- tion of ye Indies acquiring a finished course. The edifice 1s a large and magnificent building, erect- ed some years a’o, upon the great national road at the verge of our beautiful but quiet village. The shrubbery and scenery which surround it are truly romantic and sublime, possessing sach charms as easily to seduce those young ladies who so utterly detest a city-lite during the close and sultry summer months. This institunon, though it has but recent- ly come into very general natorialys is now, | am happy to say, as fully appreciated by the public as its noble, Kind, and energetic principal coula rea- sonably expect. It is now under the superintendenee of Miss S. K. Foster, and numbers eight teachers, and 165 pupils, The teachers, | am happy to gay, are great auxiliaries in the cause of female education, which is at present on its onward mareh, to attain that respect and admiration to whieh it is justly en- titled, and which has been sc slothfully and negli- gently attended to, on account of the great mania which seems to possess parents, in their partiality towards the advancement of their male children to professional life. And here let us trace, for a mo- ment, the results arising from this hasty and ill-cul- culated step of those whe should have pondered well the future welfare of their children before training them to professions which they have not the proper qualifications to fil. They are seen in every city, }cown, and village in our wide-spread Union. f | know that, even in our own neat and happy town, | we are overstocked with quacks and pettitoggers, | «nd we are now almost ready to cry out to the peo- | ule of the far west, in the language of the illustrious or-strop man, * A few more of the same kind— any more wanted ?” out there—such are the bane- tal etfects of this hasty step, which is still on its way to transform all those who haye any pretensions to education, into quacks and pettfongers. A word to the wise is sufficient in_ce@icfosion of this sub- ject. Tt would be better; far better, that they were placed at some good trade, to.earn their livelihood, as all honest men should do, by the “sweat of their brow,” than that they should gain it by spunging off the public, as they are wont to do in these “ dig- gins.” Indeed, they do no more than trifle away the hard earnings of their honest parents, in their devotion to the shrine of the rosy god Baechus. But more of this anon. Let us turn again to the subject of female education. : Our farmers have at last found out that there 1s as much to be gained by the education of females as males. This spirit nobly progresses in our communi- ty; our institution has’ thrown new light on this all- important subject, which, I think, has become prett: generally diffused throughout the Union, as its hall are now already graced by the fair daughters of the East and South, as well as the North and West.— Perhaps some of your curious readers might enquire “Are they beautitul ”” We would just say to such, it your business should ever call you to travel on this great thoroughfare, spend a few days with us, and you may perhaps obtain a peep of some of the fairest of the fair, but if you have a heart to spare, take a friend’s advice and stay away, as we have here the beautiful, accomplished, and” sylphlike Mies M. D., Miss M. W., Miss A. E., Miss M. J. McC., Miss 3.0., Miss 8 Q , Miss L., Miss T., and Miss A. O., all beautiful, and with numerous admirers. The first has, indeed, an overplus, and toofrequently receives those underhanded “billet doux,” which she as tre- quently sends back to the luckless owner, marked “Rubbish.” We are certainly living under a new dispensation,—a great age this,—enough to put a Gethamite to his wits end. I have reference to our pretty seminary fairies, coming out with their wide brim, coarse, straw hats, their bonnets being thrown aside. Indeed, it very much resembles a theatrical performance to see a battalion of nearly a hundred pretty faces promenading the streets, with the rib- bands of their straw hats combating with the breeze. Ladies are favorable to free trade here, as far as cotton is concerned. Bustles are worn remarkably large, and considerable animation exists on; their fair possessors who shall have the pride ce wearing the largest. It is hard to tell to what extent they will go in this progressive ape. he weil known institution of learning, which we have amongst us, Nite ay College, now num bers over 200 students. It was never in a more flourishing condition. Its eminent principal, Dr. McConaughy, has, by his untiring energy, at length made it equal, if not superior, to its rival sister, Jefferson College, at Canonsburg. Success to its future prospects. The Misses Macomber, from Boston, favored our good town with a visit, a few days ago, and gave three concerts, which were very numerously attend- ‘They were richly worth attendance by those fond of fun and good singing. The ladies left im- pressions here, that will not soom be forgotten by some of our oung men. Professor Espy gave a series ot lectures in Col- lege Hall, on the theory of storms. He was success- ful in making some converts, but others again do not place much confidence 1n his theory. . Lotteries are all the go here. How astonishing it is in this age of moral reform, that men can be so easily duped as to place contidence in such swin- dling concerns, Several have dealt, 1. am sorry to say, in this species of gambling, and not the first prize has yet been drawn. I am afraid the devil is making strenuous efforts in our religious community, to win souls from the path of reetitude and duty. [fow much better would it be to give the money thus spent to missionary purposes. Itisa matter of congratulation to the citizens of this place that they can no longer be deprived of reading and receiving valuable instruction trom your highly mo- ral sheet. It is received weekly at S. A. Shinn’s Literary Depot, where a general rush is made for it at its delivery. Politics are assuming rather a warm aspect, both parties being sanguine of victory, while poor cring- Ing abolitionism, on its last legs, satisfied that there 18 no chance of gaining the ascendancy, is ready to serve either party that Is solicitous enotgh to ask the favor. F i The crops in this section of the country were ne- ver better. There willbe an abundance of allkinds of grain. The farmers say their wheat has not been so tine for seven years, and the same may be said of their oats. But my communication has grown out of all bounds, and I must stop. Osweao, July 30th, 1845.
