We are now in a state of transition from a system of commercial thraldom to one of com parative freedom in many articlas of trade, and of entire freedom in the main articles of food. We shall doubtless suffer from the derth we have undergone; but the vital energies of the country continue unimpaired, and we shall emerge from the present crisis with redoubled , vigor and with more enlarged experience, The Steam Ship Great Britain. —We think it not improbable that in our next publication we shall kave the satisfaction of announcing that this magnificent ship is again afloat. Our last report from Dundrum Bay gives the most favorable opinion of the successful termination of the skill, perseverencc and enterprise of Mr. Bremer, to whom the owners of the ship have, under the superintendence ot Capt. Claxton, entrusted her recovery. The Lords of the Admiralty have ordered the British steam frigate Birkenhead to leave Portsmouth, with a full compliment of the most effective, men, round to Dundrum Bay, with instructions to render all necessary aid to get the Great Britain off, French Atlantic Steamers. —The “Union,” Captain Hebert, the Pioneer of the French steamers to New York, arrived at Havre, on her homeward trip on the 7th instant, at 3 p. M., after a voyage of 13i days. tThc “New York” steamer, of this line, takes her departure from Cherourg to-morrow. The two steamers, Monarch and Neptune, that -were engaged as a part of the Flores ex pedition, were sold a few days ago at £25.000. The French Government are reported to be the purchaser. By the last British Mail Steam Ship to Bos ton upwards of £12,000 of protested bills for non-acceptance were returned. It appears that the bills were drawn at New York for corn speculation for a London principal, but as the agent had exceeded his instructions, they were dishonored. Louis Philipp's new yacht, the corate d’En, during a trial excursion on the 3d inst., burst her boilers. Nine men were killed, and thir t sen sent to the hospital with little hopes of recovery, two of whom have since died. The government has decided that the sons of the j e sous who perished by the accident shall be admited giatuitously to the Ecole dcs No vices. Ait American Yacht. —Amongst the Ports mouth naval news wc find the following: A crick yacht will shortly be looked for here from New York, whose model is quiet a novelty. The keel is feet broad, clear of the garboard etrake, and 04 feet long. The yacht is about 75 tons, length G 9 feet on deck, width ofheam 20 feet 3 inches. She is schooner rigged, masts 91 feet and 96 feet. From the end of the main boom to the end of the jibboom 122 feet. She is called the Yarborough, after the deceased earl, and commodore of the R. Y. S. Royal Visit to Scotland. —Her Majesty and Royal Consort, with the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal, and suite, left Osborne Creek, Isle of Wight, on the 11th inst. for their tour through Scotland, which is expected to occupy about five weeks. A Court of Directors was held at the East India House on the 4th instent, when the Earl of Dalhoiuie was formally appointed Governor- General of India, and Sir Henry Pottingcr of Madras. With reference to Lord Dalhousie’s appointment, Sir George Larpent, at a public meeting of the India Rail Road Company, said, in expressing the general satisfaction of all parties with the propriety of Lord Dalhousie’s nomination, from his high qualifications, that his lordship hud observed significantly, “that he went to India not so much to have to do with wars as to bring cotton home.” Sir Henry Smith succeeds Sir Henry Pot tingcr as Governor of the Cape of G >d Hope. Sir H- E. F. Young will, it is report I, shortly assume the office of Lieutenant-Gt vemor of Australia; and Sir Robt. Wilson, ,ow Gov ernor of Gibraltar, is likely to reLcve Lord Seaton in the administration of the lonian Islands. Sir B. Martin is to be the Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom, vice Sir Geo. Martin, who onlyjlived a fortnight in the enjoyment of that dignity. Sir Geo. Cockburnis to be Rear- Admiral. The great constituency of the West Riding of A orkslure, the most numerous in the king dom, proposed Mr. Cobden just prior to the nomination day; and his name threw such ter ror into the hearts of his opponents that Mr. Denison, who had represented the West Hiding for six years, did not venture to demand a poll” and Mr. Cobden was by acclamation elected the colleague of Lord Morpeth. Such a step cannot fail to have predominating influence over the Free trade discussions in the ensuing Parliament, Mr. Bernal Osborne, a Liberal, has displaced Col. Wood, a Conservative, in the county of Middlesex. Sir George Grey has also gained a county seat in Northumber land. In Ireland, our apprehensions of the loss of Mr. Shiel’s seat have proved un founded,- but he gained his election only after a severe contest; whilst we regret to say that Mr. Wyse, one of the most enlightcqaed Liber als of Ireland has been defeated. Sir Denham Norreys, a rising influential member 6f ex cellent principles, has been successful again at Mallow. A new telescopic comet is now drawing the attention of astronomers. On the 4th of the month, M. Mauvais, of Rome, made the first observation of it in Cepheus. The Iron Duke. —The Atlas, speaking of the reported marriage between the Duke of Wel lington and Miss Burdett Coutts, says : “There is no longer any doubt that the preliminary ar rangements are nearly completed.” Great mortality prevails this year in Galicia among the peasants and the lower classes. In the district of Gadowiz, about 40,066 persons have died within a short time. Throughout the history of Europe there never existed similar examples of so many sovereigns threatening to resign their thrones as .at the present moment. The autocrat of Russia stands highest in politicial importance. He is said to be suffering great mental anxiety from some unexplained cause; and, having provided the moans of supporting himself lib erally during life, by considerable investments in the English and French funds, under color of a great financial operation, he intends, it is said, to retire to Italy, and there pass the re mainder of his days. The King of the Bel gians seems to be equally afflicted. He has returned to the Palace Laecken at Bru sils, j from Paris, in such a mentally debilitated state, j that he is unequal to the cares of government, j and all parties seem at a loss to conceive, what will be the upshot. Turning to Spain, the last accounts from Madrid state, that the Queen I has expressed to her Ministers her resolute in- 1 tention to abdicate the throne, and it was re- ; ported that a special council was summoned to deliberate upon the subject. The unhappy marriage of the Queen of Spain, brought a bont by French intrigue, is doubtless the cause of her Majesty’s disgust of her present posi tion; but her youth, and still more her politi cal importance in the preservation of the bal ance of European politics, preclude the thought of any such serious change of dynasty in Spain. With these singular and unprecedented events hanging over the fate of Europe, it is a great happiness for mankind, that the general ten dency of political opinion is to maintain peace, and to enlarge the sphere of human in dustry by the general adoption of free trade principles. The rumore 1 abdication of the King of Hol land i c ''ontradicted. m the L melon Times of Aug. 11. The present pressure teill pass away, per haps more rapidly than the former; miich of it is owing to a sudden influx of produce which will be checked by oiir fall in prices— much to the demand which the elections have caused for Coin that will find its \vay back when its immediate Uses are overhand miich ‘ to the alarlh Os daily failures. In what do our circumstances differ at the present moment front the prosneCt they pre : sented at the commencement of the year, ex ! cept that the stock of bullion, upon the hold : ing out of which mil 4 depend our safety, is now £9,000.000, arid it was then £15,000.000? We have, it is tnie, the certainty almost of ah 1 average harvest; but, setting aside the proba bility that an importation of food tnli«t td a greater or less extent talfe place iil 1848, there would be no better prospect of momentary se curity. It is not the fact of a corn importa tion that will explain an increase in the con sumption of sugar in the first six months of 1847 to the extent of 539,000 cwts. oVcr that 1 of 1846. It is not the pressure of famine and indigence that will explain an increase during the like period in the consumption of brandy of 135,000 gallons, of rum to the extent of 365,000 gallons, of coffee 2,000,000 lbs. and of tea, cocoa, tobacco. &c., in something like the same proportion; to say nothing of the impor ■ tation of 117,000 extra cwts. of meat, and of : 107,000 cwts. of butter and cheese. These arc more or less luxuries, and it is usually one consequence of a food pressure to induce an economy which shuts them out, and which by causing the masses to be content almost with ; bread alone, soon produces a re-action. It is not a deficient harvest, or the dread of it, which sends no the price of iron to a point at ’ which the United States and other countries decline to take it of ns. It has not been the food question which has caused us to allow’ our stocks of raw material to be so reduced ’ (even w’hile the rate of money was only 3 per cent.) that now the lightest demand for our manufactures causes a rise in their price which * at once checks the foreigners from buying.— - Again, it is not this cause which sends money ' up to b\ per ct. at a time when general busi- ness is contracted, and when the circulation 1 may be termed full. The fact that none of these things will furnish the explanation, 1 stares us plainly in the face, and there is hard - lv a person who does not know in his con science the real cause of our present state,— But we are a nation of shareholders from the ■ highest to the lowest, and wc all keep from 1 each other the secret of our ruin. The battle is clcarlv, as we have all along L proclaimed it, one of life and death between : railways and trade. It is useless to attempt to 1 disguise. One or the other must fail. Firm ’ after firm will be heated down, and the sacri- fices of the past week will prove only the forc ' runners of what are vet to come. Perhaps it may he urged that a considerable number of the public have already discovered, now’ that money for long periods is worth 7 per cent., that investments in railway deben -1 turcs, at 4i and 5 per cent., to be paid off in . three or five years, when Consols may be again at 95, are not so desirable as they were repre sented; but still it is only when this feeling can be made general that an effective suspen -1 sion can be hoped for. Mean w’hile calls can ; not be resisted, and these, wc may •be sure, will be remorselessly made, (no matter though ’ mercantile houses break down hour by hour) 5 until the public, as sooner or later they will, ’ shall denounce the madness with one voice. Finally, it can scarcely' be necessary to sav a w'ord of the mortality of those who in this I state of things clamor for an “expansive ac “ tion” on the part of the Bank of England as the panacea for all existing evils, and who by this cry retard the correction that must only fall the more terribly in proportion as it is de ’ laved. Advance money' —facilitate imports of • provisions and an export of gold in the face both of railway consumption and free trade— reduce the rate of interest and bring a French loan of £14,000,000 at once upon our market —see the last bar of gold exported from our vaults, and add the rush of home discredit to the force of a foreign drain, and all will then be righted. This is the language of a large majority of financiers—worthy rather of the other side of the Atlantic than of England— and there is no little peril that, as the next ; i parliament is constituted, their efforts will find expression in more than words. Let what may happen, however —let palliative after pal liative be adopted—we once more put upon re cord the assertion, that there is no escape but in a recognition that the railway expenditure must be stopped, and that traders must be | prepard to groan and many of them to suc -1 cumb under such rate of interest and for such ' time as may be essential to effect that object. Let things take their best and natural course, and the evils to be endured will still prpve L | sttt'h as few have even yet ventured to con template; let the painful process of cure be re tarded by the tampering concessions of sin. in ! terested Legislature, and the long and grind ing period of distress before wje shall ao-aiti breathe freely will be such as. to wcar °out ! heart and hope, and to sicken all men with the struggle. {From the Savannah Georgian, 2 d insf.] Gen. Clin ch's Claims to Patriotism. Our opponents have arrogated to General i Clinch i;he reputation of k hero ! They have faded ih abstaining the pompous prevention, i History does riot record a,mere signal discofn- j fitiire than has Attended their efforts to excite i the military enthusiasm of the State in his favor; those who cherished the highest respect | for true military glory, hot being disposed to waste it on a spurious article, begotten for po litical purposes. Not satisfied with this un reasonable..claim* however, they have been guilty of a still mpre monstrous absurdity, and have endeavored to tinker up for him the repu - tation of a great patriot and public benefactor. We would direct especial attention to the fol lowing extracts from the Savannah Ilcpubli- I can.of the 10th July. The first is from the letter of “Vindex,” the Milledgeville corres pondent, who, by the way, has been dabbling, off and on, in Federal politics, contrary to the established party system, and has not unfre quently placed himself in drowning water, if any body had thought it worth while to souse him under. “How bitter is party spirit when it gets to i this! That the man who has grown grey in ; the service of his country—whose life has j I been exposed again and again in defence of our | citizens— who has tendered his own private j j credit to an Executive of Georgia to furnish | means wherewith to protect our Southern and j | Southwestern frontier when the Seminoles s ! were butchering the women and children,” etc. Republican , 1 [)th July. Our neighbors fearing that their readers | might not take in the immensity of General Clinch’s public patriotism, deemed it neces sary to comment upon the suggestion of Yin- j i dex in the following words; “An allusion is made in the letter which \ I may require some explanation. During tbe administration of Gov. Gilmer, the Indians about the Okafenokee in Camden, and other i surrounding counties, made hostile demonstra tions at several points, and committed many i murders and outrages. Gov. Gilmer called out several companies from the frontier, and 1 the State being straitened for money, he made | i an effort to borrow from tbe Bank of St. Mary’s the requisite funds. Gen. Clinch, as we all i i know, was then President of that Institution, but it, like all other Banks at that time in this State, could not with safety advance a dollar. In this emergency, Gen. Clinch, while re ! FUSING TO ADVANCE MONEY AS PRESIDENT OF I the Bank, tendered to the Governor his , ' OWN PRIVATE CREDIT FUR THE USE OF THE | STAtR.” • This is the pretension set up by “Vindex” | and the Savannah Republican for General Clinch. The fabric of his fame rests upon the ’ broad foundation of their assertions. We will now show bow industriously our neighbors have been Working to overturnthesuperstrue- | | tlire. In tbe first place, wc are told, that as Pre sident of the IBank of St. Mary’s, Geil. Clinch refused to aid the OdVcriidr, tis that institu- ; tion, like “all other banks at that time in this State, could not advance a dollar! ’ At wh at time, wc ask? By consulting the history of the State, we discover that it was after ‘‘the last of May,” 1838. We refer to Gov. Gil mer’s message to the Legislature, dated 6tli Nov. 1838. But, according to the Republican of 30th August, 1847, (in an editorial pointed , I at by hands in every direction,') Gen. Clinch ; himself effected a loan from the bank of one thousand dollars in that year. Ilei'e is the statement: note of One Thousand to, was not made for s3Tthan ONE YEAR AFTER THEjggi COMMENCED BUSINESS, it bears date, THE DAY OF JUNE, 1838. What strange patriotism is this ! He re fuses to loan the State, yet I ans to himself! i Ho knew that “the bank could not with safetv ; I advance a dollar” even to Georgia, and yet he has his Own note accepted for a thousand dollar* ! 11l perfect keeping with this re markable view which lie seems to have taken of his comparative Obligations to the State and himself ! he is said, in the second place, ’ *Yo have mode a tender of his private credit to the Governor for the use of the State.*’ Now, if Gen. Clinch’s private credit could bare bech blade available, his tender was worth something; otherwise —nothing. If it was worth nothing, : any beggar deserves the. fame claimed for Gen. Clinch, who might have offered his name to the State, as he knew that it could not be used. There is one way in which it would seem that Gen. Clinch’s credit might ■ have been made available. The State could not procure money from the St. Marv’s bank ; Gen. Clinch as president , won 11 not allow it; vet h ! Hivself COULD procure it ! Consequent’}-, by using his credit with the bank, he could h ive aided the Governor. Did he do it f NO ! !! In what other way could his credit have • j been made available? Our neighbors have | labored to show that his credit was low in 1838 ; that he was involved in pecuniary dif ficulty. In sole justification of the charge brought against him, to which we shall refer hereafter, of not selling his crop in Savannah, and trad ng here, they say, in their paper of the I 19th ult., we think: grave charge can be very easily met. Gen. Clinch, by his losses in Florida, and the total failure of the crop of 1837, was obliged TO MAKE A LOAN TO ENABLE HIM TO meet his ENGAGEMENTS. He made applica tion here and could not get the necessary means, and was forced to go to Charleston, whore he was successful, and this is why he sendshis crop to Charleston. In what year did he attempt to make this loan ? Mind you, the Republican has never proved that he attempted to make it here in Savannah! But if he did, when was it ? Af ter the failure of his crop in 1837. Consequent ly it must have been in the same eventful j r ear of 1838. But this was the year in which “he I made a loan” from the hank of St. Mary’s ! i This then is the amount of his patriotism ! REFUSED A LOAN TO THE THE BANK OF St. MaUY’s, YET MADEjjggl j I A LOAN POKfHIMSELF ! AND ADDING Jggj i iggriNSULT TO INJURY, MADE A TENDER rgig“HlS PRIVATE CREDIT TO THE GoVEBNOII,^^! 1 HE HAD TO GO OUT OF THE STATE,| IS2TAND CARRY HIS PATRONAGE FROM iggrOWN SEA-FORT, “TO MAKE A LOAN HIM TO MEET HIS (PRIVATE) T his is certainly a granite foundation upon which to build the General’s reputation for distinguished patriotism ! It will doubtless be fully appreciated hy the citizens of the State at large, and of this city in particular, which he continues to slight, even after he has been paid the enormous sum of $25,000 for green com, and half-grown sugar cane. Mr. Clay out of the Brooks, late co-editor and Washington correspondent of the New York Express, writes from Utica to the Boston Whig, that he considers Henry Clay, “fermany reasons, as entirely out of the question as a future candidate for the public honors of his country.” And why ? Because of his declaration in New Orleans—“l feel half inclined to ask for some little nook or comer in the army, in which I might serve in i avenging the wrongs of my country, " I hijvc thought that I might yet he able to Capture or I slay aMexican.” ■ These sentiments, this Mexi \ can. Whip says, *‘in the estimation of every 1 reflecting mind, must be deemed alike abhor- j ! rent to every principle of true Christian morali : ty, and unflitting to be proclaimed by one now in tbe sere and yellow leaf,’ and having already passed the ordinary bounds allotted | to human life here below.” It was “unbecoming in a moral and religious people to rejoice over the victories gained a : gainst the British in 1812.” So said the op posers of their country then. It is “ abhorrent ” to Christian morality to speak of “avenging our country’s wrongs” by capturing and slay ing one of its enemies in 1847. So say the op posers of their country now. Let the people —the patriotic of all parties—mark these men; and when the day of retribution shall come, as it surely will, visit upon them the just re ward of thdir treason. Brand them, as did our fathers of the Revolution and of the last war.— Floridian. The Epidemic. —At the end of another breek a few words upon th£ prevailing epidemic may be looked for by our readers. It is consolato ry to know that the ravages of the disease have not been much more extensive the past week than the one preceding it, at the same time it must be confessed that it is extending itself in classes which were in the earlier : stages of the epidemic almost exempt. The reports of interments in the city during the week ending yesterday morning at 9 o’clock shows a total of 442, of which 311 were of yellow fever. The reports of the week im ; mediately preceding, showed a total of 427 in j terments, of which 307 were of yellow fever. This shows but a slight increase in the num ber of deaths, but the number of cases was no doubt very considerably larger the past week than the one previous. The fever prevails : now among classes better able to withstand its I ravages. Upon referring to the report? of the Charity Hospital it is gratifying to perceive that a mttch smaller number of cases terminate fatally there th-lil was the c;Vse a few diys since.— The admissions there the past week were 434 against 376 the previous week, and yet the deaths by yellow fever were only 92 against 133 the previous week. This is an encourag ing sign, if anything may be called encourag ing in the ravages of a pestilence which threa tens to make this year noted as among the most fatal years of epidemic. We cannot forbear again from Calling atten tion to the fact that so many die from re- I lapses. So far as we have been personally ac quainted with those attacked by the fever who were in circumstances of ease and competence, but one or two have died unless the r deaths could be traced directly to feme act of flagrant imprudence. It is appalling to hear, as we do daily, of the death of individuals who had been pronounced convalescent, and who have been betrayed by their feelings and good spir its into acts of imprudence which have proved | fatal.— N. O. Pic. 29 th ult. Rev. Mr. Hinton. —Among the deaths from yellow fever, yesterday, we arc grieved to an nounce that of the reverend gentleman whose name is given above. He belonged to the Baptist denomination, and was eminent for his piety and usefulness. — lb. The Crops, &c. In Alabama. —The Marengo Lodger, of the 23ci tilt., has the following paragraph in regard , to the Cotton crop in Marengo county and vicinity; The accounts which we hear of the growing cotton crop in this vicinity are of the most un favorable character. Complaints arc general of the ravages matte by the bull-worm, and it i is confidently asserted by those who have the j means of forming a Correct judgment upon i ! the subject, that the coming crop will not ex ceed that of last year* find great fears arc en- I tertained that it will fall greatly below; Wc were told on yesterday* by ail intelligent plan ter, who owns a large plantation A few miles | from this place, that he would not get more than 100 bales where, foUf weeks ago, he cal culated with entire certainty Upon at least 400. ! Another one who expected to raise 100 bales, j says that he will not get 20. And these rep- | i resentations are by no means confined to a few i individuals—the complaint is general. The Dallas Gazette, (published at Catawba) | of the 25th ult., says : A planter informed us yesterday, that he had learned from the overseer of his river plantation that the caterpillar, the same as the insect which committed such depredations on | the crop of last fall, has made its appearance, i though it has not yet done much damage.— Similar complaints reach u? from other sec tions of the same import. It will be recollec ted, perhaps, by our planting friends, that the caterpillar commenced its work of destruction last fall in South Alabama during the first week in September, and by the middle of that month had entirely stripped the stalk of leaf, square and small bolls. We confidently anti cipate its approach again about the same time, and should we not be disappointed, the crop will fall short of that of last year, for the reason of its lateness. In Louisiana. —The Concordia Intelligencer of the 21st ult., says ; In the large and fertile cotton region formed by our own and parishes adjacent to us, the crops look more promising than they have been seen for five years past. The bolls are full and healthy, and everything seems to give good hope to the planter. So far as we can learn, after the most anxious and full inquiry, not a worm is on the cotton within a considerable I distance of us, and our own opinion, based on the opinion of the most observing planters with \ whom we have met lately, is that there are no army worms anywhere in the State of Louisi ana, as yet. But the cotton crop is the most precarious on earth, and the present fine appearance may very soon bo changed. All we can do is to ! hope that the present favorable weather may continue. A few weeks of it and the fears ! over. The crops in the parish of Iberville pro- i mise luxuriantly. The cane crop particularly looks well. The Ibervillian says : ’flic prospect of an j abundant crop, this season, throughout the j State, both of cotton and sugar, seens never to have been more flattering than at the pre sent time. The cane in this region is most pro mising, and accounts from other sections which J we have received, are also most cheering, Cot ton picking has already commenced to a con siderable extent, and the only fear we need now entertain is that the prices may not be such as to give our planters the benefit of their abundance. The Worm again—Prospect of the Crops. — The serious apprehensions entertained by our planters a short lime since for the safety of their crops, we are happy to learn, were with out foundation. The worm, which at one time threatened destruction to the growing crop of cotton, proved not to be the cotton worm, and has entirely disappeared. It seems, lorn the evldenc now before us,that it prayed, upon the cotton only when there was noth- I thing else in its reach upon which to sustain itself. An inteF'gent gentleman, who resides I in Jefferson county, was in our office to day, and states that he has lately been over some half dozen of the lr -gest cotton growing coun ties in the State, r id is satisfied from the ob servations he made, that there will not be ten bales less of cotton gathered in consequence of the worm. No intelligence we have recei ved this season gives us more - pleasure than this, for, up to the period when the worm made its appearance, the information received [ from every quarter gave assurance that the crop was unusally promising. A heavy crop of cotton this season will do much towards relieving our planters from the pecuniary dis tress in which they have been involved, part ly from the mal-legislation and partly from the afflicating hand of Providence. — N. 0.

So we have at last an open declaration from the whigs in favor the tariff of 1842. They abominate, it seems, the tariff of 1846. We admire the frankness of the avowal. The Chronicle is entitled to the credit of being a bold and fearless advocate of whig principles. It docs not wait to be pushed. Practically it does not conform to the opinion of the AA hig Convention —“that it is unnecessary to reiter ate the often declared principles of the whig j party.” We are pleased that it considers it is necessary to do so. Wc shall take an early occasion to show up in their true colors some of these “discriminations of the tariff of 1842,” and to show' in favor of whose industry it dis criffiinates. We will show how much the in dustry of the South is favored. ! The tariff of IS4G is now speaking for it | self, aild shows whether it benefits the British, or the Americans solely.

We will examine in future essays the difference between this tariff that the whigs “ abominate ” and the tariff they far on The Baby Jumper. “Consarn my skin,” as the countryman said yesterday, on reviewing one of these patent, la bor-saving, self-moving machines, at the store of Messrs. Bowdrc & Clagctt, on Broad-st., “if it haint the mightiest invention I ever seed —if I had John in that ar machine, he would’nt squall again, I reckon.” And wc don’t believe he -would, for if there was any thing ever invented to please a child, even against its will, the Baby Jumper is the thing, and the inventor should not only receive the thanks, but the patronage of every mother. Such is now the case and facility with which these little family incumbrances are protected and reared, that we apprehend it will be an inducement to their future increase. The great objection which has heretofore existed, so far as -we understand the matter, to an in j crease of children in a family, has been a want of servants and nurses to attend on them, and in some instances this expense has been con siderable, owing to the fact that one genera tion has, with great velocity, rushed upon I another before it was cleverly discharged from the arms of the attendant. The consequence was that sevex*al nurses were absolutely ne cessary for the safety of the younger, and com fort of the older members of the household. What a day of deliverance has dawned upon the married portion of the community! We sincerely congratulate them upon the benefits which so simple an invention has brought about. No lady, having children,should allow herself to be a day longer w ithout this infant self-acting-contrivance, by which the trouble of handling and rocking and dandling a squall ing child is dispensed with, and by which he is thrown early in life upon his own resources. The child in after days can say that he swung himself and took care of himself long before he was able to crawl. There is nothing like an early lesson of self independence in develop ing greatness, and we have no doubt but that the future history of the babies of the present generation will depend upon, and be greatly influenced, by the mode which mothers now adopt in raising them. If a man is hereafter imbecile and sluggish in mind or body, the shrewd opinion of human nature will say at once, he was handled and carried too much in the arms of his nurse before he could walk. The effect of his early treatment has been to make him lazy ami inactive in nis habits, and his temper is cross and ill-grained—he squall ed in his infancy for change, and he had it — if he has not his way now, he is out of sorts with,every body. On the other hand, if he is quick in his actions, with broad chest and well developed figure, stout legs and a strong grip of the fist withal, gay in his tempera ment, ready in his comprehension, equible in his disposition—he is destined to be a great general or other shining light to the world— and the cause is at hand; his biographer in writing the life of such a man will commence his book by describing the scene that occurred the first time his anxious and delighted mother put him into the Baby Jumper. The line of Communication between Vera Cruz and Perotc. The Washington Union of the Ist inst. savs —“A letter has just been received from Lieut. Col. Hughes of this city. He arrived by the river route at New Orleans on the 19th Au gust, and left that place in the Mary Kings land on the 23d. He expects to reach Vera Cruz in advance of his command, unless they should have made an extraordinary run from the Capes of Virginia. Lieut. Col. Hughes " ill have under his command the six compa nies which sailed from Baltimore some time since for Vera Cruz; and also one artillery company that lias been raised in Baltimore, one company that is now raising in Washing ton, and perhaps two others that may lx; rais ed elsewhere. Should these arrangements be completed, the Colonel will have under him a regiment. It is destined for the line of com munication from Vera Cruz to Julapaand Pe rnio-. “besides Ikcsc, thefd art five companies of mounted volunteers from Lodisiarta, some of whom have already arrived at Vdra Cruz, and the others were cn Ytntte —the whole, iii all probability, have arrived by this liriid; txi Ad dition to these, there are five companies df horse from Georgia, and three from Illinois.— These are believed to Be all en r&ute for Vera Cruz. “Then, there is the regiment of Texas ran gers diider llayes, or such part of them as Gen. TaylOr cdh spare for the service—at least five companies. “All these mounted volunteers have been called otit to operate principally against the giierrillos; and when the line of conmmu uicaiion is opened, they will join Gen. Scott. Gen. Patterson, who left Washington vestcr dAy dii his way to Norfolk—there to deliver some baggage, which is td go rodnd to Pen - sacola in the Water Witch—will go thence to Pensacola, where he is to “embark in the same vessel, with other officers, fur his point of des tination. It is said that lie is to take charge of this military force, unless orders should hath been recivcdfrom Gen. Scott to change these arrangements; and aftfcr he has opened the line of cdmmunciation, he will join the Gjne ral’s catnip.” The Stigsv Crop; The Kcw Orleans Picayiiiie of the 28th lilt says—“From every section of the sugar-grow ing region of our State we have the most gratifying accounts of the prospects of the growing crops. At Lake Borghe, a day or two ago,we met with several intelligent plant ers, who expressed the opinion that the ap pearance and condition of the cane at this thne justified the belief that the production of sugar this year would exceed that of the last by at least 50,000 hogsheads. The plant, it is true, is subject to disaster before the crop is finally saved; but present appearances unquestiona bly indicate a very large yield. We congratu late our friends engaged in this important branch of agriculture, And the country at large, upon the flattering prospects before them.” Another Letter from Gen. Taylor.
