The agent in thisjaplendid fiscal operation, for fear of being rubbed, drove the carl through Talladega, a good many miles out of his wav; and when he arrived at his Journey’s end, ho w ished to pay the cart-man for iris services in "rags.’' The cart man, however, swore he would dnvo the carl hack, with its precious depoailes, if ho was not paid, according to contract, in the “constitutional currency,” which was then reluctantly counted out to him!! Here is a practical and beautiful illustration of the efficiency and economy of the Sub-Treasury Scheme! The Tuscaloosa Intelli gencer, from which wo gather these facts, does not tell us what was dune with Iho specie when it got to its journey’s end, but wo venture to pre dict that it will turn out, when the truth is told, that the “hard money” was used for some office ! holding speculation.

Who ark the Democrats'! —The Trenton State Gazette makes the following significant statement, on this subject: In 179!). there wi re but seventeen democratic voles given at the Trenton poll. These were the nucleus and origin of the party hero. It is a most remarkable fact, and it stands, an incontro vertible evidence of the dishonesty of the preten sions of the “modern democracy,” that every one of the “old seventeen” democrats now living, (and thoio are nine of them) is a whig—and hears himself daily denounced os a federalist by the party whose leaders arc Wall, Vroom, Green, Armstrong, &c. ! !

My Lord, I entertain no unkind feeling towards the American people; on the contrary, 1 admire tbeir energy, tbeir intelligence, and their industry, but I openly detest their Government, because it is a tyranny—because it has been productive of guilt —because it fails toprolccf life or properly— and lastly, because it has either no power or uo will to maintain its treaties with its allies.

Extract from Irving s Hot la/ AlquiiUuuh , The peninsula of California was settled in sixteen hundred and ninety eight hy the Jesuits, who, certainly, as far «s the natives were con cerned, have generally proved the most beneficent of colonoists. In the present instance limy gained and maintained a footing in the country without the airl of military force, but solely by religious influence. They formed a Ireaty 'and entered into the most amicable relations with lire natives, then numbering from twenty.five p, thirty thousand s mis, and gained a hold upon tbeir allcctions and control over their minds, that effected a comple o change in their condition.— They built eleven missionary establishments'in tiro various valleys ol the peninsula, which formed rubying pines for the surrounding savages ’ where ll y ga bored together as sheep in Un fold, ar.,l surrendered themselves and ilteir con science in the bands of these spiritual pos'.ors. ■ Nothing, wo are toM, could exceed the implicit anil ulleclioriatc. dt votion of iho Indian converts to the Jesuit lathees; and the Calln.be lull, , disseminated widely through ihe wjldcrnc: <.

On the contrarv, lie i behold a lew venerable silver-haired prie.-ts coni ,n B hrt.nbly forward to meet, him, followed try a thru:: j«1 weeping, but aubmissivo natives. The , heart of the Ciovornor, it is said, was so muehed hy tins unexpected sight,that he shed tears; Iml he had In execute his orders. The Je-uita wore accompanied to the place of their embarkation hy their simple and nllcelionoto parissioners, who took leave of them with tears nml subs. Many ol the latter abandoned their hereditary abodes, and wandered oil to join thr r southern brethren, so that hut a remnant remained in the Peninsula! The Franciscans immediately succeeded rho ,le suits, and subsequently the Dominicians; hut the latter manager! their all'airs ill. But two of the Missionary establishments are at present oc cupied hy priests; the rest arc nl! in ruins excep ting one, which remains a monument of the former prosperity of the order. This is a nohle etlifiod, onco the seat of tiro chiefs of the resident Jesuits. It is situated in a beautiful valley; about halt way between the’ tiulf of California an •! the broad ocean, the pe ninsula being hero about sixty miles xvide. The edifice is of hewn stone, one story high two bun deed and ten feel in front, and about fifty five feet deep. Ibo walls arc six feet thick, and sixlcon led high, with a vaulted root id stone, about two I et an"'a halt in thickness. It is now abandoned and deaeda'ig the beautiful valley is without an inhabitant—not a human being resales within thirty miles of the place! In approaching this deserted mission houcc float the i* out It, the t rove Her passes ox'er t lie mount tain ot * in Juan, supposed to bo the highest peak in the Calilurnias. i rom this lolly eminence, n vast and ningiiitu cut prospect unfolds itself; the great Gulf of California with the dark blue son beyond, studded with islands; and in another di reel ion, the immense lava plain of San Gabriel, The splendor ol the climate gives an Italian dice. I to the immense prospect. The sky is of a deep blue Color, nml the sunsets arc often magnificent beyond description. Such is a slight and imper fect effect ijf this remarkable peninsula. Uppfer California extends from latitude til deg. 10 mi it. to 4.3 deg. on the Pacific, ami inland to the gufit chain id snow-capped mountains which divide,it from the sand plains of the interior. There are about twenty one missions in this pro vince, most of whom were established about fifty years since, and tiro generally under the care of the I rnnciscans.— These exert a protecting sway ■over about thirty five thousand Indian converts who reside on the lands around the mission hou ses.—Each of these houses has fifteen miles square of land allotted to it,subdivided intosmall lots, proper to the number of Indian converts at tached to the mission. S line are enclosed with high walls; hut in general they are open hanilrts composed of rows of huts, built of sunburnt, bricks; in some instances white, washed and roofed will: tiles. Many of them arc fur in the interior, beyond the reach of all military protection, and dependent entirely on the good will of the natives which never fails them. They have made, con siderable progress in teaching the Indians the u-c -ful arts. There are native t umors, shoemakers, weavers, blacksmiths, stonecutters, and other ar tificers attached to each establishment. Others arc taught husbandry and the rearing of cattle and horses, while the females card and spin wool, weave, and perform the other duties allotted to their sex in civilized life. IS'o social inter., course is allowed between the unmarried of the posits rexes ed'tor working hours; and at night they are locked up in s 'palate apartments, and the keys iHiveiod to the priests. The produce of the lands and all the profits arising from sales, are entirely at the disposal of the priests; whatever is not required for Ihc sup port of the missions, goes to augment a fund which is under their control. Hides and tallow con stilulo the principal riches of the missions, and, indeed, the main commerce of the country. Grain might bo produced to an unlimited extent at the establishments, was there a sufficient imuket for it. Olives and grapes are also reared at the mis sions. Horses and horned cattle abound through nil this region; the former may he purchased at from three to live dollars, hut they are of an inferior breed. Mules, which are hero of a largo size, and of valuable qualities, cost from seven to ten dollars. There ate several excellent ports along this roast. San Diego, San Barbara, Monterey, the hay of San Francisco, and the northern port of Bondage; all afford anchorage for chips of the largest c lass. The port of San Francisco is rather too well known to requite much notice in this place. The entrance from the sea is sixty seven lu'horns deep, and w ithin, whole navies might ride in perfect safely. Two large rivers which lake their rise in mountains two or three hundred miles to the east, and run through a country un surpassed for soil and climate, empty themselves into the harbor. The country around affords ad mirable limber for ship building. In a word, thi-, favored port combines advantages which not only fit it for a grand naval depot, lint almost render it capable of being rendered the dominant military post of these seas, Such is a feeble outline of the California crust ami country, the value of which is now attracting the attend n of naval powers, Thu Russians have always a ship of war upon this station, and have already encroached upon the California boundaries, hy taking possession of the port, of Bondago, and fortifying it with several guns. Re cent surveys have likewise been made both hy the Russians and the English; and we have lit - tle doubt that nl no very distant day, this neglect ed, and until recently, almost unknown region, will he found to possess sources of wealth sulfi cinnt to sustain a powerful and prosperous empire. Its inhabitants themselves are but little aware of its real riches; they hux'o not enterprise sufficient to acquaint themselves with the vast interior, that lies almost a terra incognift nor haye they the skill nml industry to cultivate properly the fertile tracts along the coast; nor to prosecute that I i eign commerce, which brings all the resources of a country into profitable action. from tfir Southern CiLizcn.

On lie sped. Through woods, and r.v. vines, ami brambles did that poa crinl mare carry him, safely and swiftly. His enemies were in hot pursuit. They followed him by the trail of blood from his wounded shoulder. He came to I.iMlc Uivcr; there was no ford; the bank was high, and a deep place in the stream before him. lint the Foe came —be drew the rein and clapped his heels to her sides, and that gallant mare plunged reckless ; ly into the stream.

Unt I'annon was on the trail, and rushing , down the bank with all the mad energy that the loss of his favorite could {inspire. Hunter turned the mare to the opposite bank; it was sleep —several feet of perpendicular rock— but she planted herself on the shore at a bound; ami then away she flew over the inter minable forest of pines, straight and swift as an arrow—that admirable marc ! On and on did the generous brute bear her master’s foeman, till the pursuers were left hopelessly behind. I,ale in tlie evening Hun ter rode into Salisbury, had the sing extracted from his shoulder, and after lingering some time with the effects of his wound and oxcite ment. finally got well.
