The only public demonstration in this city byway of celebrating the Anniversary of Ame rican Independence, was that of the Sons of Temperance, on Monday. The Oorder of this place marched to Hamburg, between eight and nine o’clock, and there halted in. a celebra tion of the great Day with the Marion Divi sion, of that town., and the Ninety-Six Divi sion, of Graniteville. We understand that an appropriate address was delivered on that oc casion by Mr. Cason-. The exercises having closed in Hamburg, the Augusta Division returned, accompanied by those above mentioned, and marched to the Presbyterian Church, where a large and crowd ed auditory were in attendance to witness their proceedings and unite with them in doing li jnor to the day. After an eloquent and very apposite prayer by the Rev. W. T. Bkantly, the following Ode was sung in handsome style by the mem bers of the Order: ODE, Thrice welcome, h-others, here We meet In Friendship’s close communion join’d \ Ye Bons of Temperance loud repeat Your triumphs with one heart and rnind- No angry passions here should mar Our peace, or move our social band— l For Friendship is our beacon star— Our motto—-*Lnion—Hand-in-hand.” Then followed the address of Mr. Lucien laT.vste, which was every way creditable to liimself and the order of which he is a zealous member. His address was very properly di vided between the usual notice of the day, our ancestors, their efforts in the cause of human liberty and rights, the responsibilities resting upon us, their descendants, to preserve with sacred devotion the rich inheritance which is Ours, and an illustration of the evils of intem perance, their remedy, and the institution, ob jects and purposes of the Order- of the Sous of Temperance. Idle speaker was quite happy in his illus trations in many portions of his address. We were pleased to perceive that while he was firm, consistent and earnest, he was respectful. None of that intemperance of language which sometimes mars the good effects of public ef forts in the cause of temperance escaped his lips. All could listen to him, whatever their views, without feeling that he was wanting in fidelity to his cause upon the one hand, or was obtrusive and bigoted upon the other. This is the true policy for success. M e believe that the audience generally, listened to the remarks of Mr. LaTastb with gratification and pleasure,as we know they did with patient and respectful attention. After the address, another ode was sung, of which the following was a copy. A Benediction was then pronounced, and the audience dismissed. ODE. Welcome, Brothers, welcome ever, To our social, friendly band, True and faithful, naught can sever Brothers pledged in heart and hand. Whilst our Order.rear’d in Love, must ever stand. Thus progressing, blessings follow in our train; Hail we then these new made Brothers, As bright links in Friendship’s chain— Form’d to soothe the woes of others, And assuage their grief and pain, Whilst our Order, rear’d in Love, must ever stand, Thus progressing, blessings follow in our train. The day was bright and beautiful, and these detachments of the cold water army had every reason to be gratified at the attention paid them in the streets, and the attendance at the church. Washington and his army went forth, and the God of battles sustained them to resist oppression, and free their country from tyrant invaders. We could but think that these Son of Temperance were laboring in a cause, the’moral antitype of which moved our revolutionary ancestors in their perilous mid wonderful achievements. It is a glori ous sight to see a victim of intemperance—a man who has staggered under its oppressions, even to wretchedness and ruin—marching in the cold water army, sound-limbed, sound hearted, and sound-brained, rejoicing in his f-eedom; and it is pleasant to see the tears and sorrows of that man’s family turned to smiles and joys. Who would disturb this new, and perhaps unexpected happiness? Who would be willing to send this man back to the hateful vassalage of his relentless oppressor, and his wife and children to the hapless lot from which they have escaped? As we said before, the day was fair, the streets thronged, and spirit-stirring music added to the pleasing ex citement of the occasion. [From the New Orleans Delta , 2 d in«£.] Latest from Mexico. We yesterday received files of Mexican pa pers from the Capital, to and of the 12th ult., dates three days later than any previously re ceived, We make from them a series of ex tracts which are given below. We find in them no evidences of that formidable, fearful opposition to the advance of Gen. Scott, the apprehensions of which, for the last day or two,so alarmed the nerves of some of the more sensitive of our contemporaries. The same unsettled, indecisive, neutralizing policy,seems to prevail at the Capital, which has so long been characteristic of Mexican policy. We hear nothing of those thirty thousand of an army, which, with a valor equalled only by that evinced by the troops of a celebrated King of France, who marched up and down an emi nence —were marching out to attack and an nihilate Gen. Scott in his quarters at Puebla. Santa Anna, it seems, however ambitious he may be to play the dictator, is rather shy in oroclainniiK his preferences; he appears to think that as he gets along, thoiigh minus half his “understanding,” he can keep the govern ment moving, though resting on a friction of a ministry. . ... The War. —The files before us contain full reviews of the opinions of the different news papers throughout the country, which num ber about twenty, and with but one single ex ception (in Durango) they are fully in favor of the -war. , The Dictatorship. —El Monitor Rejmblica -710, of the 12th ult., contains a lengthy article on the subject of the Dictatorship. Up to that date, Santa Anna was not proclaimed, nor had he proclaimed himself, Dictator. Indeed, the Monitor ridiculed the idea that he designed to become one. The rumor to that effect which prevailed in the Capital, it alleged to have ! originated with and been propogated by his I ; enemies and the enemies of the country, j No Change in Policy. —The Monitor asserts ! that the new Cabinet is not to be entirely i formed of Pnros, (Democrats,) as stated in some of the journals, and that the new Minis ters will carry out the policy of their prede cessors. Santa Anna thinks that without a full Ministry—with the Ministers of War and Fi- i nance, together w ith the Clerks in the Bu- i rcau of Foreign Relations —he will be able, | for the time being, to carry on the govern- In an article published in the same paper of a the 10th, wc find the following paragraph:— “There is no doubt but that the majority of the nation is in favor of-carrying on the Avar, and avc are, conseqcntly, con vinced that it is im possible to e&ter into any arrangement for peace; were it to be concluded, it would prove fatal to the nationality of Mexico. The de fenders of the nation arc, therefore, enooferagfd Avith brilliant hopes of final success, &s it is undoubted that the position in which the United'States finds itself must, in the end, sc- j ! cure us triumphant success, notwithstanding | our former disasters. All of us Avho sincerely j j A\lsh the continuation of the war-, look upon I au equivocal policy as dangerous, and all over- j ; til res of peace a perilous means to secure it; j for this reason avc are opposed to any change . . i in politics wliich may giA-e it a pacific appear- ' i once.” . . .. . i Congress,- — Congtcus ‘met at the Capital at j last on the lOth, and the proposition of de i daring a recess, Avas lost by one A'ote. IS/ Republicans, of the 12th, ilia leader of great length, recommends that the forces Avhich are intended to defend the Capital, should be well and properly instructed and drilled, as they have plenty of time before the American army arrives there. Being chielly | recruits, the Generals commanding thetn, he , says, should take great pains in their drill. — | The editor says that the chieftains should bear in mind that that is to be their last effort, and consequently no exertion to have it suc cuessful should be spared. The Peace Party. — El Razonador, the peace ! papor,says that it has recommended peace only because it is eonAlnced that the goA’ern- i meut Avould not or could not carry on the Avar; but at the same time it appr«A r es Santa Anna’s withdiaAval of his resignation, and ; praises him very much, saying that he is the only man in the country who can keep alive the spirit.. The Presidency. —The Legislature of Agu ascalicnles bad given its A*ote to Gen. Almonte. A letter from Oajaca says that Santa Anna has ( been unanimously nominated President by the \ Legislature of that State. Gen-. Baneucli died ou the evening of the ! 11th. Gen. Valencia.®— Gen.

Although it was reported that he had been appointed Governor of the State of Vera CrUz, he was to be employed in the de fence of the Capital, Moke Guerrillas. — El Estandartc dc los Chi namtes, published at San Luis Potosi, says that a large body of guerrillas has been organized at Bocas, about twelve legues from San Luis, i and that they were all Avcll armed and equip ! pcd. Mexican Correspondence Intercepted,— Gen. Alvarez sent an express from Amcica, oil the 11th, with correspondence intercepted in ■ the possession of a courier going from the Capi tal to Puebla. The Government had culled on the different persons sending letters, in order j that they should be opened and read, to show i whether or not they contained any information j of Avhich the Americans could aA'ail them- ; selves. A letter addressed to El Monitor, from Puc- i bla, says that Gen. Worth, who began by kiss- I his hands to all the young ladies at Pue- j bla, has concluded by breaking the doors of I Senor Haro’s house, and lodging himself in it. [Whatever truth there may be in the former part of this statement, the letter paid we be lieve to be a lie.] Gen. Scott’s March to the Capital.— El Repuhlicano of the 11th, has accounts from ; Puebla, in Avhich it is stated that the American | forces would not move toAvards the Capital be- ■ fore six weeks, (from the 10th June) as they 1 ! were aAvaitbig reinforcements ana hcaA'y artil- j j lory from Vera Cruz. — El Monitor of the same 1 ! date, publishes a letter in which the writer j ' states that he has been informed that the j whole forces will movt towards the Capital, in | all from the 15th to the 20th, as they had re solved and Avere determined to spend and cele brate the 4th of July at the Capital. Movements of American Troops. —A letter from Puebla, addressed to El Monitor, states that Gen.

A letter recciA-ed at the Capital on the 10th, ! from Tlaxcala, says that the inhabitants of that ! place had addressed a petition to Gen.

The i Monitor says that it seems the Tlaxcaltccos ' Avlsh to imitate their predecessors during the time -when the Spaniards went to conquer ; them. Attack on Qkn. Scott. —A correspondent from Puebla, AATites on the 7th to a friend in the capital, that the American forces are scarcely 6000 men, and as Gen. Scott could not j leave that place for some time, it Avould be j good policy to ha\'e the Mexican forces march- i ed to Puebla and there attack the Americans, j who were not prepared for an effective defence. | A letter from Tuxpan, of 31st May, says that 1 the inhabitants are so much frightened there, that as soon as they suav a vessel approaching the port, they packed up their beds and ran to the woods, where they remained until they Avere assured that there was no danger in the tow'n. An exchange paper states that a pretty child —a charming little three years old —was not long ago presented Avith a nursery kitten saved from the noyade that aAvaited the birth of its brothers and sisters.

The result of seven months experience under the new law, compared with the same time under the law of 1842, which will be found in . another column, gives an increase of nearly half a mil lion in the revenue collected or due, and an increase of more than six millions in the im portation of dutiable merchandise. If we now form an estimate of the business of the year by the part that has passed, the operation of the new law will surpass the lar gest anticipations of its warmest advocates. The largest importations of the year generally I commence in the month of July, and continue j very heavy until the approach of winter. These are Vet to be received and added to the state ments furnished to the present time. It will not, therefore, be surprising if the amount of duties received by the close of November, ad ded to those which shall accrue from merchan -1 dise in the warehouse on the last day of that month, shall show an increase of a million of dollars over the revenue of this port during the last year of the old law. A proportionate increase m the importation of dutiable mer chandise, will make that reach to twelve mil lions in the same period. Such is the fruit of the new law in relation to revenue and importations at only one port in the country. When the returns from every port shall be collected, they wall present such a fruitful lesson to the nation that the public mind will forever after, as we trust, become fixed upon the most liberal and free system of Commerce. We offer as evidence of the effect of the new I law upon the manufactures of the country, the following extract from the address of the May ! or of Lowell to the President, and the reply of j the latter: i -“Sir, we fed honored in receiving you as a i guest, and extending to you the hospitalities i of our city. We shall feel proud in exhibit ing to you our mills i« operation, where the I female, with her delicate hand, performs her I work in cheerfulness, with exactness and with care; our workshop, where the strong arm of the artizan gives form and almost perfection to countless cunningly wrought machines, many 'of winch he himself invents; our canals, by which nearly all the water of Merrimack river is turned from its original channel and Im pressed into seiwice to furnish power for our varied machinery; to the new canal, where ; more than half a million of dollars is &0w being ! expended, in order to furnish further facilities in the Vise of this Waterpporer,w r er, and to many other objects which I trust you. will not con sider unworthy your attention. “Mr. President, I have the honor to intro duce you to, and again welcome you among a : happy, contented and prosperous population, ! who will give you that frank and cordial Ve i ception 'which, is due to your exalted position as an eminent citizen of a sister state,and as the | President of this great republic.” | In reply, turning more directly to the May or, the President said: “To you, as one of the sovereigns, I-, as the servant of the people, bow. Must happy am I to hear from you, and from other sources, of the prosperity of all classes in this city, and j this section of the country. I shall be happy ; to visit, with you, your factories and such | other establishments as afford evidence of your ' prosperity.” [From the X. (J. Picayune , 2/ul imt. ] From the Brazos. The schooner 11. L. Scranton, arrived yes terday from Brazos Santiago, having sailed : thence on the 26th ult. She brings over the , following passengers : Capt. Sam’l.

It A store house on the Plaza at Allfeamoros was accidently bh nvn up on the morning of the i 20th ult., but fortunately without injury to any person. The cause of the explosion is ua- i known. Tire Flag reports that four members of the I I Ist Illinois Regiment, on the march from Co- ; margo to Reynosa, unarmed and having fallen i in the rear of the regiment, w ere attacked by a i party of about twenty Mexicans and lassoed j and robbed of their money,without doing them 1 i further injury. It would seem that the Mex- ! icaris knowing this body of troops had rccciv- , ed their money at Comargo, followed them on the march to Reynosa, with a new to pick up stragglers from the ranks, and succeeded in capt ruing these four, obtaining over a hundred dollars from each of them. The alcalde at Reynosa ijwas ordered to produce the robbers or refund the money.

That paper says we must prepare for j a display of equestrian feats such as in our “ wildest imaginings we never dreamed of.” i From Tampico. The schooner Sarah Elizabeth, Capt. Webb, arrived yesterday from Tampico, having left there on the 24 th of June. We learn from Mr. Mitchell that the English steamer Avon was lying off the bar, landing quicksilver. She would shortly proceed on her return voyage, touching at her several ap i pointed ports, but she would take little or no 1 specie with her, as in consequence of the .guer rilla parties it is deemed unsafe to transport even merchandize in the interior without a large escort of troops. Tampico feels sensibly j this state of things. There is little business j doing, the people being afraid to venture in with the ordinary products of the country. The accounts of the health of the citv are at variance. While Capt. Webb represents that | the Louisiana Regiment is suffering dreadfully | from the fever—less than one-fourth lit for duty—the Sentinel of the 20th ult. says the 1 health of the town continues good, with the exception of some cases of intermittent fever. The U. S, bomb brig Heckla, Lieut. Com | manding Fairfax, is blockading the port of ■ Soto la Marina. ! The Sentinel has files of Ee Republicano to ; the 12 of June —three days later than we have received —but says they contain not a word of I news, but are full of war articles, wax “withJkt I quarter.” [From the Home Journal.] The Hot Weather. : The great New York thought for the pgst week, has been, how to keep cool. The “semn millions of pores” for which, according to tom v, every individual keeps a running ac count with the weather —(receiving cold or heat and giving out proportionate perspiration) —have this week been heavily drawn upon. As they say in Wall-street, “the holders o; that stock have had to sweat.” Our own ex perience has led us to make one or two dis coveries, both in the localities and literature of coolness, and for the benefit and amusement of our x-eaders, in town and out, we will record, with as cool a lack of method as possible, what we have acquired by this summery compul sion. Unable to get a “ride up” in an omnibus, oile hot day, we were toiling homeward over a sidewalk that went reluctantly behind us, wheii from a cellar in Broadw r ay came out a stream of air for which we have not now time to find a similitude. It was, to a delightiul degree, refreshing —flavored from the earthen floor of the cellar, and moist from the stone wall. We stood some five minutes over it, and meantime were trying to remember a pas sage in our half forgotten reading which des cribed summer houses constructed on this very principle of coolness. itb. some re ! search, after reaching home, we re-discovered what we refer to, and as its know ledge may be used to advantage in this climate, we copy it bodilv : —“The town of Moutalva.il, in Ar ragon, ’is ventilated isl a very simple manner. It stands in a very deep valley, surrounded with mountains, and is liable to excessive heat. Much wane is made iii the neighbor [ hood, and every house has underneath it a | cellar dug to a great and unusual depth , bfe- I cause of the hot situation. Every cellar has its vent-hole to the street , and from each i of them a stream ■ erf colei air continually issues out , and cools the town. Might it not be usefully imitated in all hot countries? The in habitants used to say that wine, when drank fresh from these collars, never intoxicated. — The reason thev assigned was, that it was so cold as to compress the vapors in the stomach, 1 w hich were thus tempered when they ascend- i cd to the brain instead of being in a burning | i state. Bishop Burnet describes something of j I the same kind at Chavenncs. The towm stands j at the very foot of mountains. At the roots of i the mountains they dig great cellars, and sti'ike a hole tcu or twelve feet into the lull, which, all the summer long, blows a fresh air into the cellar, so that the wine in those cellars drinks almost as cold as if it w'ere in ice. The sun, opening the pores of the earth and rarilying the exterior air,that which is compressed with in the cavities rushes out with a constant cur rent. Before, or over these vaults, they build little pleasant bouses like summer-houses, and in them they go to collation,at night, or when | ever oppressed with heat.” j Augusta, (Georgia. THURSDAY MORNING JULY 8,1847. FOR GOVERNOR HON. Q. W. TOWNS. OF TALBOT. .. .. , . ______ We anticipate that our readers will j hail with satisfaction the improved appearance i Os our paper. The liberal patronage extended j to us has enabled Us so tg present it, and this is but a jUst return for the public favor which the Constitutionalist enjoy Si Disregard of Cur National Anniversary. We are informed that application was made to our City Authorities for powder to fire on Monday last a national salute, commemorative of American Independence; and that the plication was disregarded or neglected. The day therefore passed off without that acciUs tomed tribute of respect . Aiigusta is probably • entitled to the unenviable distinction of being j the only city in the United (States that has I shown itself thus insensible to the noble re ■ collections of our revolutionary struggle; We should feel ashamed to disclose this discredita ble fact upon our city, but that we are slue the action of our economical Mayor and Coitn- I cil in this affair did not reflect the feelings and wishes of our fellow citizens. It is true that j corporations have no souls, but they some times are the representatives of people that I have, and it was due in this instance to such that our city should not have been subjected j to this imputation upon its patriotism. Here tofore the City Council has been in the habit ; of furnishing powder for similar occasions, and I in this instance it was expected to do so as a : matter of course. The only notice taken of the day in this city, ■ in the nature of a celebration was that by the I Order of the Sons of Temperance. We are told that at the very last moment, the City Council, after tw’o weeks to reflect j upon it, did offer to furnish powder for the ' occasion. This was late on the evening of 1 Saturday, the 3rd, too late for necessary ar | rangements —preparing the cartridges, etc. etc. ■ What a pity that two such splendid pieces of \ brass ordnance as the Council possess, should be considered by them rather costly articles when requiring at their hands a few blank cartridges once a year. The City Council deserve the unqualified censure of the whole community for having omitted or utterly neglected to appoint a Com mittee to make arrangements for the celebra tion of the day. When our National Anni versary is thus slighted, wo may truly exclaim, we have fallen upon evil times. The Artillery Guards may seem not to be wholly exempt from criticism for their appa rent supinencss on the occasion. But it should be stated in their behalf, that that Company appointed a committee to meet any other com mittees that might be appointed to meet them, to make arrangements. These proceedings were duly advertised; but no movement was made by any other bodies in response. The Guards, however, paraded at live o’clock in | the morning, and fired a feu de Joic with their ; small arms. This public spirited Company has been call- J ed on frequently in the last 13 months to pa rade, tire salutes, and act as escort on various j public occasions. These demands on them \ have involved them very much iu debt. All 1 the military duties of the city have devolved on tliis Company, and it has displayed a de gree of public spirit and energy, which it is to be regretted, has not received a more general, countenance and sympathy. s Augusta is the only place in Georgia from ! which volunteers have gone forth to the Mex ican war, and returned after their arduous and patriotic toils, that has not given them some public demonstration of welcome. Important to Volunteers. The following is an extract of a letter from J. L.

The news by the Caledonia has come to hand, and I transmit you the following: LIVERPOOL, June 19.—The arrivals of Wheat from Ireland either of home growth or foreign du ring the last fortnight, have been very considerable, as have also been the imports from the L’nited i States. For a week or ten .days past heavy losses ! have taken place in Flour and Meal by leakage ( which has rendered a large quantity unmerchanta ble. The rumors of the appearance of the Potato disease, though unconfirmed, have not yet subsided; bat they do not exercise the smallest influence upon the market. Subsequent to the departure of the last steamer the market fully realized the up ward tendency, which was maintained until about the 11th. Since then, however, owing to the ex treme favorableness of the weather, and the pro mising appearance of the growing crops, the sta bility of the market has been materially shaken, and the disposition to fall clearly evinced. The last three days the markets have been unusually dull, and the transactions ot yesterday, particular ly were of an exceedingly limited character; they closed with 40s. to 41s. 6d. for best Canal Flour, Wheat at lls. to 12s. 3d. for 70 lbs.; Indian Corn, white 48s. to 525. per quarter; Corn Meal 245. to 255. per bbl.; Philadelphia and Baltimore Flour 395. to 405.; Ohio Flour 375. to 38.

Nor has the late unfa vorable weather been limited in its extent.— Delegates with whom we have conversed within the past week from various portions of the State, all concur in this opinion. The late ness of the spring, bad stands, and the recent frequent inundations of rain, were the causes assigned for this result. “Where the weed had survived, it has latter ly run up, as in the year 1840, without branch ing off—-hence it contains but few bolls. This has in part been produced for the want of working—or rather suitable weather in which to kill the grass. A good planter from one of the most extensive cotton growing counties iu the State, even tells ns that lie has no idea that the grass in many farms he has seen, will be ever subdued till ‘burnt off next winter.’ the reader sees that the prospect at this laic period for cotton is quite gloomy —that it m»t be short, there is no doubt —but to what expent, the future season alone will regulate. p*The provision crop has so far turned out uptach better than was anticipated. Wheat, not generally abundant in the yield, is very good; and a sufficiency will no doubt be made for the consumption of the country.— Oats and Rye have done well, and the prospect for an abundant corn crop, together with other less important articles of provisions, is quite flattering.” The amount of Treasury Notes outstanding on the Ist hast., it is officially stated, was thir teen million' three hundred and eighteen thou sand ninety-nine dollars and thirty-one cents. Another Requisition. The New Orleans Delta, of 2d in.st. says— “ The Secretary of War has made another re quisition on this State. The present one, just received by Gov. Johnson, is for two compa nies of mounted gunmen. The scene of their duty is to be Vera Cruz and its environs.— With a view to expedite their enrollment, Gov ernment will supply them with horses, as well as all equipments and accoutrements.” The Baptists. It is estimated that the number of Baptists in the United States is 655,530; the number of churches 7833; of ministers 5751; licensed preachers 1035; colleges 14; theological schools 8; newspapers and periodicals 34. The whole number in the world, of all branches, Ls esti mated at 1,130,711. From Fort Leavenworth. We leant, says the St. Louis Daily Union of I J the 25th ult., by private letters, dated the 20th inst., from Fort Leavenworth, that Captain Shephard’s company of the battalion of infan try starts from the_Fort on the 17th inst., and ('apt.

None of the mounted regiment of Missouri i volunteers, nor of the Illinois regiment, and ' battalion, had arrived at the Fort at that date, 1 though they were expected soon. Probably j the regiments would start from Independence. : Col. Easton had arrived in fine health, and j every one had full confidence that he would I mak a first rate officer. Woman. She is often the occasion of much trouble and mischief to man. For her he toils and slaves —for her he left Paradise—for her he blows his brains out —and for her he makes a confounded fool of himself in various ways?. —> Notwithstanding, woman is a blessing. Her influence over our rough hewn sox is as mild as the moon on the tides, and twice as power ful. The moral fragrance that surrounds her is as sweet as the odors that rises from a field of white clover, and her beauty makes her one of the most interesting living ornaments of so ciety that wears either legs or wings, I don’t care whether you mention a bird of paradise, a butterriy, or a straddle bug.— Doir y Jr: A Prediction Realized. The bold prediction of General Green, when a prisoner, in the Castle of Perote, has been j singularly verified. —While he and his breth i ren in arras were prisoners in that dreary for tress, a new flag staff was raised. The Gene ! ral told the commandant of the Castle that he was glad to see it firm and lofty, for it would ! bear the more bravely the stars and stripes ! which before five years would wave from it in j undisputed sovereignty. In three, his bold j promise to the Mexican government has actii i ally been realized. O 3 W.
