At tO >l*ck <w Thursday moiatug eucrwed iny, the remliusit f (lie verier* (n (fee case of Krnclten P, Boon, the brother* were tira-cgtit x the But, in the presence of a Isrge •nd silent EeseailjJy. The eccue was of Jeep snd imposing solemnity. After the pri soners hJ finished (hear Mlervsew with (heir Counsel, Jiii’ae Merri wether proceeded (it tJJrewi them. -Yum Wmrren J. lluon and Kinchi n Hutu —By June* of your Ctwtry, vau htv* (teen found guilty C* Murder. Htwe yeti, er either of you, sny m to show why theseutence of the Lew should not nine be pionoonced 1 Both the prisoner* replied, tktt they did not wish to sty any thing. His Honor proceeded : ••This is, with you. • enlemrt and sti awful hour. By the verdicts which vmi h ive bend, voor iites have been forfeited to the outraged l.ivi i4 your Country and without this sentence shall he stayed hy tire hand of Mercy, you must very shortly die! Dex‘h is, at best, an appalling event. To linger on the tied of dis ease—watched by the aolicilude of f'ternlsliip—cher ished by the care and the prayers of affection—solaced by the esteem, the so-row. and the regret of weeping and admiring friends—with the bright scenes of a blissful eternity before os even then, to the Chris litn Heath is s soleain and interesting Mansion. But to die the victim of the Law—to die in open viola dun of the sacred command, 7'Aoii rA/f not A:•//■—to die aa you must die, u|*on the Gallows—the Felon's Death—is a thought most terrible to the immortal aoul. • But yet the Daw commands it. and its stern fate must be obeyed ! And deeply painful, as ia to me the duty to pronounce your sentence, still that duty, infest he performed. •■Bet him now who addresses you, and whose voice you may never agtin heir, entreat you to seek, earn e-lly and honestly, that forgiveness of srus which a tone esn prepare you for the solemn hour. •■With you, in all human probability, the active scenea of life will soon pass away. The w atchfulness of parental solicitude, which has guarded you from your cradles, will soon cease its vigils; soon will cease to hear the affectionate call of •husband’—soon will the prattle of your innocent hub; ones fail to greet the ear of parental hope and affection—soon will you be separated from Wife and Mother, from Children and from Friends—soon will you ceise, and forever, to salute each other with the endearing name of Brother, All these will soon have an end; and you, brothers in nativity, and brothers in crime, will soon breathe out together, upon the same gallows, the same guihy felon's fate! contemplation of such a ecene is truly awful: ‘Hope springs eternal in the human brent.’ and while life endures, it is natural lor us to hope that we may escape such an ignommotis end. but let not a groundless hope betray you from the necessary pre paration to meet it. It would be unkmdness to you, were I not to say that in your cases there ia nothing on which to bases rational hope of ultimate escape from the punishment of the Law. You have been tried by dunes of your own selection—hy men of in telligence and integrity. Every facility for a fair and impailial trial has been enjoyed by you ; you have been defended by able and ingenious and zealous Coun sel, and yet, you, Warren J. Bonn, you have been frund guilty ofthe fatal deed, and you, Ktnchen P. Boon, have been found guilty of being present, ‘aid ing and abetting’ therein. The Coutl and the Coun try approve the vetdicts. ••The scene which ia befote us, is ono on which our peaceful community is not accustomed to look.— Perhaps it is not wiihin the recollection of the oldest who hear me, that two brothers should be arraigned at the same Bar, and at the same time, to receive the sentence of death. The incident, foi the honor of hu man nature, is very extraoidinaty. And why is it, that you are made to form an isolated example in the history of your country! It is because you gave to your passions a reckless sway, and contemning alike the precepts of Religion and Law, with a Murderer’s phrenzy, you took the life of an unoffending youth. Far from the land of his birth & his friends,the decea-ed has fallen a victim to the fiend-like fury of your hearts. With no just cause to exciteyout revenge, you sought him in his peaceful and lawful employment, and with a vengeance, equalled only by a Demon’s rage, you did that fatal act which has mode a widowed mother weep over the grave of a beloved child, and which will soon cause your aged widowed mother, your friends end relatives, to mourn in sorrow ovci your ignomin ous end. See, then, what misery and sorrow your conduct has brought upon an extended circle of rela tives anJ friends ! Bee to what a death it has doom ed you both ! ••Your file is admonitory to all who shall survive you, alike to young and aid. It speaks tin- solemn language of truth to them, never to lake the first etep in crimes, and never to violate the Laws of the land, however trifling that violation may tie. The first step taken—the barner leaped—no bunisn rye can foresee the end. Moral suasion lose its influence, legal iritraints their obligations, ar.d the Passions, csreeung in uncontrolled violence, seek their gratifi cation with no reference to propriety. Little did you think, when fust you conceived the violation of the public law, of wh ch you were guilty, that you were laying the foundation of that late which awaits you, But jone illegal act required another to protect it; and from step to s:ep you have progressed until now you stand before your Country, blood-slaned Murderers! •■You determined, for avarice sake, to engage in the illegal traffic with iSlaves. To that end, you pro vided yourselves with a barrel of W hiskey, and while your neighbora were quietly sleeping, you were en gaged in enticing sway their negroes and gathering them around you to carry on your unlawful trade.— You knew the laws of the land forbade it; for you must certainly have known that the consideration which you received had been stolen iry the Slaves from their masters. Your neighbors discovered your conduct, and very naturally, became excited at it.— They determined to suppress such a violation of the law. A patrol was appuinlej, and the unfortunate deceasrd was its Captain. He went forth, temperate ly but firmly, to do his duty. You found that your illegal traffic had bean detected, anJ you believed it would be broken up. ’Him fired yuur revenge, und you resolved to triumph over the law, hy the murder of its officer. On Sunday you resolved to lake his life. Early the noit morning you prepareJ your pis tols, snd went in pursuit of the deceased. \ou found him, sitting upon his horse, engaged in conversation ■s to his legitimate and every day business. Fearing that his situation might afford facility of e-cape, if ap prised of your intentions, you uttered not a word of warning, until you pulled the fatul trigger, lie-knew nothing of Ins danger, and lihU not even time to ut ter that cry of Mercy, • Don't shoot me/’ before the falsi hall had performed its deadly purpose ! A few moments weie all that remained for him. ‘Goodbye ..they hate kill'd me !’ were his only words, and he sunk into the icy arms of Death!—GoodGud! what a feeling could have nerved your srin to do o foul a deed—so eoldly, to deliberately, end for so small a cause! But the died his been done—Alsop sleeps among the dead, and the insulted majesty of your Country’s Laws demands an atonement, bv the for feiture of yotn lives, A retrospect cannot hem fit you; but yuur fate may seise to warn the living against the fiist step in crime—against a violation of the public law, bow ever small. High crime has it beginning, and it be nevei yet been perpeiratcd, unless previous violation f minor lows, or neglect of mural or legal duties, bad led to it. ••Your condilion is gloomy and awful. You are standing upon the narrow isthmus of Time, with the ocean of Elurnity in full view. A limited puilion of hfe alone remains to you , hut remember that ‘Life is the time that God hath given, To escape from Hell and fly to Ifoaven.’ Arid'may you faithfully improve if lor your soul’s sal vation ! Whatever may he your crime, the Blood ol Christie sufficient lo alone for it, and you have the assurance that those who seek forgiveness in earnest thill find it. Human laws command punishment for crime lo deter from its perpetration ; but yet the guil ty may find pardon in Divine Mercy. The Thief, as he hung upon tbe Cross, found forgiveness, and that you may obtain it through the same intererces sion is rny sincere prayer. ; “Look, however, to no human power for relief) hut throw yourselves upon the mercy of Christ, trust ing alone to his power arid disposition, and you will £od ‘bat which no human agency can give, and which et i alone radatfl you i* the dread hour of Death.— !

ADDISON GARDINER 8 LETTER OF IS3L We publish to-dav a teller from Addison Gardiner, th# Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of the State of New Yoik, lo an abolition society in I do'S upon the question of negro suffersge. ft is not our purpose to say a word upon the opinion itself, contained in the lettc*, absurd and untenable as we take it to bo, upon a fair discussion of ihe principles and Iscta in volved. Abstractly, it can not tie denied, that a Cul len of New York is clearly entitled to the exercise of any right, in his own State, that does not inter!cio wirh the tights of other*. All w* ask is laissstz nous ftiirt —let us alone, and jou may p'ck your own com pany to go lo the polls with, wherever you please. Our object in this publication, is to show the South, how little reliance, is to he placed upon our ••Noithein , Brethren” in this question, and to exhibit, the low i huckstering of mean ambition, for the votes, snd sup poll, of a set of f.inalics, cut-throats, and traitors, under the name of Abolitionist. This vile pandering fats j been carried on for years, by Whig ami Democrat The balding has been kept uti actively by both parlies , The loosing party weeps over his defeat, ami damns the other lor taking the bargain out of their hands.— And thus have the abolitionists been dandled, abused pelted and provoked hy turns until it has grown Into strength and vigor, und now in seven Slates at least, can dictate terms to Wnigs or Democrats. If Mr. Addison Gardiner had lieen as he pretends, a true Republican, who looked upon the constitution as “one perfect and entire crysolite,"—as a charier not to he touched hy construction or amendment, if he had believed in his soul what he professes; that the safety ot the Union—the safely or republican institutions lay in pieserving il from the use of all doubtful power,— his language lo this assembly of assassins,” would have been eminently diffe ent. •- He would have told Messrs. Reid and Shepard—that the foundation of their creed, and every doctrine laised upon it, was destruct ive of the guarantee* of the constitution, and subversive of the organic law of his country. That whatever might he his opinions upon the question propounded, he woulil hold no terms with men whose touch was contamination, whose support was disgrace.” He ought in a word, to have set them at defiance, We fear that these woids will never meet the obser vation of the Democratic parly at the North ffor who there caret a button for the South or Southern opinion —except as stewards or their protective taxes!) —but we may say it for the benefit of those whom it may concern here; that we shall give our humble support to no man for l’risidenl or Vice President, who may chose lo keep his peace cn this subject. •• He must come out from among them—touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing”—he must be above sus picion, and he must declare himself to he against them suntphruze and without condition.

From the National Intelligencer. The Union of the 16th of October endeavors to Rx upon the Whig party of Massachusetts the charge of an attempted alliance with the Abolitionists. Would il not be well for the Union first to clear the Adminis tration from the charge ot courting the Abolitionist of that State. ‘The official patronage of the Administra tion lias been there given to Abolitionists. Marcus Morton, appointed 00l lector of the port of Boston, with a very large official patronage at his di-posul, is a know n political Abolitionist. He voted in Congress against the admission of Mi souri inlo tho Union, be cause slavery w “ s not exdudeJ in the act admitting her. He has always been in good fellowship with the Abo litionists.and courted their votes to make him Govern or. As Governor he approved the legislative seta of Massachusetts legalizing marriages between whiles and negroes, and the act punishing by fine or imprison ment any officer of the State for aiding in the arrest and imprisonment of fugitive slaves, snd forbiding the use of the prisons of the State in which to confine them when arrested. These facts were well known in the Administration, and afforded no objections to Mr. Mor ton's receiving the most lucrotive, important, and in fluential appointment within New England. Mr. J’ar-1 menter, appointed Naval Officer at the same port, sup-1 ported the views of tho Abolitionist while he was a j member of Congress, as his votes during his whole term, until after his final defeat, will hear testimony. Mr. Rantoul, appointed District Attorney, was an early and wefl known Abolitionist. Isaac H. YVright, ap point'd Navy Agent, in wbieh capacity ho officiated for about a year, hut whose nomination the president finally withdrew after very grave charges had been pre [ ferred against him, was an Abolitionist; was a mem ber of tho Senate of Massachusetts when Mr. Morton was Governor, and voted for all the abolition laws and measures of that year, and for the very strong resolu tions against the adnii-sion of Texas into the Union. ‘This Mr laac 11. Wright, notwithstanding his aboli tion votes for negro marriage laws, the law punishing State officers for aiding in Ihe arrest offugative slaves, Ihe Texas anti-annexation resolves; notwithstanding the withdrawal of Mr. Wright’s name from before the 1 Senate, under circumstances leaving a very unfavora ble impression as to hiacbaracter, yet he was, this same ’ Mr. Wright, was the chief director in the recrntDem ncratic Convention in Massachusetts for nominsting n rsndidate for Governor and Lieutenant Governor; and 1 this same Mr. Wright is tho Democratic candidate for 1 Congress in John Quinrv Adams’s district. He ia a 1 principle adviser, if not bosom friend of Marcus Mor ton. The Democratic candidates for Governor (Isaac Da- 1 via, Esq.) snd fur Lieutenant Governor (George Hood, Eq.) were Imth members of the Senate of Msssachu- 1 setts during Mr. Morton’s term, and voted for all the 1 obnoxious abolition measures above named. In mL dit ion. Isaac Davis agreed to attend ami set as Vice President ot a meeting in Worecster, called in 1814 lo oppose the annexation of Texas, at which meeting resolutions were offered against the integrity of the Union. Some accident prevented the attendance of Colonel Davis. Frederick Robinson, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Middlesex district, wa also a member of the Senate of Massachusetts st the time spoken of. and approved of the above named measures. Mr. Brut wefl. Democratic candidate for Congress in district No. 3; ami Mr. Dike, Democratic candidate for Congress in district No. 2, were both members of the House of Representatives in Mr. Morton’s term, arid voted for these negro measures. Mr. John A - Bolles, Mr. Mor ton’s Secretary of State, and at present at tho head of the Democratic organization of Massachusetts, was one ol the advisers and supporters of these measures. Mr. Franeis Howe, a Democratic candidate for the Senate from V, nrcester district this year, is rank Abolition ist, and it is also believed that die was a member of the ; Morton Legislature that passed (he measures above stated. Last year or the year before. Amass Walker was the Democratic candidate (or tho Senate in the same district. Mr. Walker had then jut returned from Ohio, having been a professor in the Oberlin Institute, a noted Abolition concern in thut State. Charles ] Howard, who was one of Governor Morton’s Etecu- 1 live Council, snd Samuel C. Alhn, a member of the ’ Morton Legislature, both approving all these measures,! 1 have been appointed to lucrative posts in the Boston ! 1 Custom house by Mr. Collector Morton, The patronage of the Adminidrstion and tin influ ence o’the Administration have been devoted to aid ttie-c Abolitionists in M i-sichaaett-, until the whole Dam cialic orgamz rllon is in the. hands of these Dem ocratic Abolitionists. The editor of the Union was well apprized of these facts in regard to the ahuhlion opin ions and conduct of M irons Morton and (saat H. Wright, lint tint knowledge did not prevent his stren uous efforts to secure, their confirm ilnm before the Sen ate oi the United Stales. Wliu will ihe gay old gentleman nl the Union say to these Lets ! Let us sec him manihle this bane. Correspondence of thr H dtimare ,S\n. WiauiKurov, Nov. 1(1, 1846. This alternnou experiments were nude in the office of the Secretary of War with a quantity of prepared cotton, brougut hy Mr. Robertson, our percent Con sul to Bremen, lar the express parpen,* of securing a patent lor the inventors, Messrs. Seine ilocus dt fl.itt ger. The whole cabinet—The President, Gen. Scott, Col. Touch, and a variety of distinguished gentlemen weie (111 sent, arid Ihe experiments succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation. The preplied Cotton ignites more readily than pow der, and cninbu-lum inoie perfect. A ball Was fired with it from a common musket, from the window us | the War Department against the wall of the Navy I Dapartment, with immense force; an excuvatiou of mu ly the depth of an inch being pr oil need in the will, and the bill l> mg completely flattened. The day after to-morrow, the expansive faculty of prepared colton will he tried at the arsenal with the musket pendulum, ft will undoubtedly succeed as similar experiments have succeeded wnti it ill Germa ny, bwileeiland atid England. Prepared cotton ia nu lling else than gunpowder in a purer slate and a more acceptable fomt. It contains precisely the same ingredients—carbon, sulpher and rmre, and is manufactured with great ease, and muv be preserved even for months in water, All that is necessary is to dry it before using it. When the pre paration is on e made, twenty-four ImU'S would suf fice to prepare a sufficient quantity of cotton, just ink en Irom the carjing machine, to carry on uur whole war with Mexico. And yet the preparation is so simple, so dearly a scientific reduction of the known property of each in gredient part, that it is only a woilder that the same discovery has not been made yeurs and years ago.— The inventors being about lo take out a patent, it would not lie propel to say more on the subject now, a few days (when the patent will b secured) all will he found so simple that every man may henceforth make his own gunpowder as he makes his own bread, or hulls his own potatoes. THE BEGINNING OF TIIE END. Under this significant caption, the National Intel ligencer of Saturday r-ays : We presume that our PhesiDknt arid his Cabinet are by this time cunviaced that they have forfeited lire public confidence—ihe contid nee, that is, of their own party; that of the o:ber they never possessed. — If, alter the elections in I’txs.sxLVA.vix, Ohio, Maine and Ne v Hampshire, any doubt of this so lemn fact was still lingering in their minds, the voice of condemnation which has reached them from New York must have dispelled it wilh a speed as prompt as that ofthe electric agent winch transmitted to them the fatal news This was the inevitable result of a rash and ruinous policy, which thousands saw, hut which those most deeply interested would not see.— They were told that if they madly persisted in break ing down the wise protective system given to the coun try by the Whig party, and under which industry had flourished and all interests had so greatly prospered ; if they m idly persisted in deranging the business of the nation hy reviving the edious and broken down Subtreasury, their own party must abandon them.— Those who could pretend to any unprejudiced knowl edge of public sentiment foresaw and foielold this; but they were unheeded. Somewhat observantof pub lic affairs end of the public feeling, we ourselves ven tured to predict the political consequences of the de plorable policy which was then impending, and which has since proved so disastrous. On the 4th of May last we ventured the following opinion—not for any purpose of effect, hut frum a firm conviction of its truth: “Were we capable of being governed hy party Considerations merely, without reference to the gene ral interest of this great Csinmonwealth, we should desire no more effective arms against the now domin ant parly than the party itself would furnish us hy the twin measures of the prostration us the Tariff and the establishment of the Muhtreaiury system.” What was then prediction is now history) but the prediction was scorned and sjouted by the sycophants whoj surrounded the Execltive, and who, like all their tri e, w, re more intent on flittering than on sa ving their master. The measures must lie right be cause the Whigs opposed them ; thev were Democrat ic measures ; they were uregciibeJ by the canons of the Baltimore Convention, tud must he infallible. — Bo they rushtd on, and are sow reaping their reward. The jkit CoNottus.—The intelligent Washing ton correspondent of the Baltanore f’alriot says: “ All who had doubts aboutlhe succsss of the Whigs i in electing a majority of the neinhers lo (he next pop ular branch of Congress, may now give tho-e doubts : to the winds.

This will give the Wings tbiity majority—enough for all useful pur poses.” Hoerisl*.— A correspondent of tire St Louis Re publican, writing from Camp I’atteison, near Burita, mentions the following incident.’ “ A murmur of indignation was running through our lines to-day, in consequence of s scene of unrivall ed interest which transpired here this morning. An old squaw, from an encampment of L'pan Indians a huut two miles below us on the liver, came loth* cimp of Texan volunteers, snd offered lor sale two Spanish girls from thirteen lo fourteen years old.— l'hey were dreadfully emaciated, and almost destitute ofa single garment of clothing. The Texans seized the girls and squaw snd carried (hem immediately to headquarters, where upon examination il was ascer tained that the fcipaiis had murdered a whole family the parents and brothers of the two girls, in the vicin ity of the Rio Grande, stolen all their pioperty, and led the girls into captivity ; there they had treateJ them wilh extreme cruv-lty. and nearly starved them lo death and were now offering them for sale. The girls read ily pointed out the ringleaders of the outrage, and some fifteen or twenty of them were arrested for furlhei in vestigation hy the order of Gen Wool.” Truning Peach Trees. —The most suitable time for pruning Ihe peach, aa well as for many other kinds of stone fruit, is in autumn, just as the leaves begin to fall, when the sap is in a downward motion.

When there is a very great speculalion, and every one is pushing forward supplies, shipowners advance the charges for freight, and Ihe expense of getting stocks in foreign m irkeis is therefore increased Uther charges, also, increase in a corresponding pro poition. Flour exported at present prices, cannot pay a profit, unless there proves to be a greater scarcity of food in Europe than the most uufivotable accounts yet warrant us In believing. The Way the Money Goes.—Mr. Walker has pub lished in the Union, says the Baltimore Patriot, an official repoit of the receipts into nn 1 the expenditures from the treasury, during ihe month of October. The gross receipts were $8,735,950; of which, $1.953.950 were on account of Treasury notes. The expenditur es in the month were $ 14,088,661 27, or $5,352,711- 27 beyond the receipts, and deducting the Treesury notes, over six millions and a quarter of dollars. Os the expenditures, $8,153,659 were on account of the Army, and $1 969 9SO on account ol the N ivy. This is over ten millions; and for a year would give more than a hundred and twenty millions for the war! It is certain that we are going to pay pretty well for all we get of Mexico. From the Savannah Fepublican. Trit-vos to bk Remembered.— Which Is the Brit sh party now 1 The Whig or Loeofoco 1 The fol owmg items which we clip from Fore'gn Journals, and put in proper form, plainly demunstiale which party is entitled to the appellation: Let it be remembered, that the London Times says: “ Henceforth the principle ol duties for protection must be considered as abandoned in the United Stales.” Let it be remembered that the same paper says : “ Ihe alteration of the American Tariff cannot but be regarded as a gieat triumph gained by the principles of free trade.” Let it be remembered, that Wilmer & Smith’s Lon don Times, in speaking of the passage of McKay’s bill, says—-the reduction of duties on cotton and woolen manufactures will give a great impulse to these branch es, which, for some time pis', have been suffering to | some extent for want of a remunerative foreign mar ket for their surplus production. But the interest which will be most materially benefitted is the iron manufacture of this country, which will be apparent : from a glance at the comparative duties under the old ! Tariff and the present. It is expected that the price of | ptg iron Will rise ids, pet ton, and bar iron 20s per I ton.” j Let it be remembered, that the Liverpool Standard says : “ that the new Tariff in the United Slates, is a j measure which will be received with infinite satisfac tion by the British merchant and manufacturer.” Let it be remembered, that the same paper, in speak* ingot the matter, says — the general eflect must be to increase the value of the Amencan maiket to the Brit ish manufacturer, whilst it may airest the progress of i the people of the Eastern States in manufacturing skill.’ Ue it be remembered, that the Montreal Courier, i Canada, referting to the passage of McKay’s bill, says : “ As Englishmen, We ate of course pleased that the j Tariff is abolished, as taken in conjunction with the ! abolition of our Corn Uaws, it will open an immense | market ful us; but if we were Americans we should certainly be Tariff men.” Let it be lernemhered, then, we say, that no longer doubt can exist, as to whic.i party is entitled to the name of “British’ and which American, in its feelings and views, THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.—The Albany A'gus of Monday sums up the result in this Slate, as follows : For Governor it will be seen that Mr. Young’s mi jority is about 10,500. In the Seriate the democrats elect in tbs Ist, 2,1. and 4th districts, and the whigs in the other five distiicts. That body will consist of 21 demoeiuls, 10 wings and 1 native. The House consists of 58 democrats and 70 whigs. Possibly the official canvass may add another whig to the Onondaga delegation.

The ftiende of sound primspies throughout thn coun try will rejoice at the signal triumph of the Whigs ol Massachusetts, and especially in the great triumph of those principles and ol high personal merit which has attended the election in Boston.

Adeertisng. — lf there is any bus-ness man Who j doubts the Utility of of advertising, as a means of get- j ting rich, let him read the following from the New York Tribune ; “The increased attention and unumall facilities for advertising abroad, have strikingly changed the aspect of business. The days for sitting quietly in well filled stores, waiting for trade, have gone by—the old land marks of business are removed, and new channels o pened. He who clings to the custom of a by-gone age may sit solitary and alone, while the dust shall accu mulate upon his profitless wares. Now-a-days, if a man wishes to increase his business, or in fact so do business at all, he advertises. Shrewd men, of small capital, long ago discovered the sure road to wealth ) and those who have been doing nearly all the HlsinesS iri certain departments, after the roles followed by their fathets. now see themselves suddenly distanced—their new competitors taking the business in n their own hands through the mighty influence and tremendous powerof the Press of the country.” A letter from a soldier in Col. Marshall's regiment of Kentucky volunteers, is published in the Lexington Observer. It is dated at the Camp, near Port LavacS, Tel as. Sept. 23d. and gives a melaneholly account of the condition of the fegiment. Itsavs— Yesterday the surgeon reported 160 new cases in the hospital. You ought lo see the boys. Their con dition is a reproach to the Government. They ale barefooted, and some of them literally without breech- i es, many without hats and coats ; but they stand up as proud as if they were dressed in imperial purple. | The Government is in debt to this regiment $95,000 ; it has received no pay whatever, and though paymas ters pass and repass, it has seen no signs of payment. Yeung men of edocation anti intelligence, used to the luxuries of private life, are by this neglect absolutely turned naked in a wild country, and exposed to the Climate, and sufferirg front the weather, without any care for their condition on the part of the Government t they serve. They would raise a row pretty quieklv. but that they respect too highly the feelings of their own officers to place them in an awkward position, by drawing down on them the displeasure of the War Department. I Cool —A man with whom we sire wholly unac | qnainted, his addressed us a letter from Charlestort, j asking us to insert an advertisement, enfitled “A SitO i atioir Wanted,” <&c. He gives some very good names I as references, hut he would have given more decided proof of his business capacity, if he had either enclosed (he money for the advertisement, or paid the postage on his letter. Men have strange ideas about Editors and Newspapers Publishers. They expect to pav ev ery other class of men for their labor or their property, but it is generally considered as sufficient honor to patronize a fiewepnper by reading it dav after day, and advertising in its columns, free gratis far nothing. Although Editors rnay manage to “work for nothing, and find themselves,'’ we do not think that they ought to be taied with postage while doing so Sao.Krp. The road from Mexico to vera Cftr;£. A contemporary paper says ‘ that the city of Mexi co is only a week's march from Vera Cruz.” He is wrong. Seldom do soldiers march above 20 miles per day. and as the city of Mexico is 280 miles from Ve ra Cruz, they would he 14 dav in going that distance. The diligonce which runs between Vera Cruz and Mexico is 4 days on the road. The traffic between the two cities is immense. Almost all the goods land ed at Vera Cruz are conveyed to the city of Mexico on the backs of mules. A mule wits carry 400 pounds weight, the height of which is $24, during the rai ny seasons, (that is, from April to September) the mules aro 30 days in going to Mexico ; the owners of the mrrfe* Bremen nf|honenty and substance; they and their servants are well armed, and sometimes they have fierce encounters with robbers. The Worst part of the road to Meiico—particular ly for foot-soldiers—is that which is contiguous to Ve rs Cruz, for the soil is saml. and sand almost as hot as that used by chemists to make a sand-bath. Here the diligence, though drawn by eight powerful horses, ••drsgs its slow length along” at the rate of three miles the hour. Our soldiers would find marching along this paif of the toad extremely difficult and irksome. And in this, as indeed in the other Mexican roads, it is advisable to march at night. At some distance from Vera Cruz the rankness of the vegetation is sur prising. Cacti, which in Europe would bring a high price, are here rotting on the road side, fn some pla ces, where the road is rather narrow, a’ gigantic plunt pushes its stem into the very diligence yon are seated ill The birds ton, hereaboute. are as richly cofjreu as the flowers. But there is a close, rank church yard smell in the air, which is any thing hu>|pleasani, and which reminds you that you are not yet out of the reach of that scourge of tropical climates—the yellow fever. When you’ get to Jalapa, (which is about 60 mi lbs from Vers CruZ.) you find that nature there wears a more cheerful, if a less gaudy aspect. You have left the tierra ealiente, or hot region, and are now in the tierra temphda, or temperate district, ft is indeed the Eden of the Western World. Fields yellow with Indian corn-—groves of orange trees—of styrax and o ther balsamic trees, are seen on every side. The ap pearance of the town itself harmonises Well with that of the country around 1 . It has a cleanly and whole some look—so have its inhabitants, who number thir teen thousand. The women of Jalaps are noted for their beauty. Its elevation above the level of the sea is 420f feet. When a north wind blows at Vera CruZ the inhabitants of Jalaps are enveloped with a fog, which Bometimes lasts two or three weeks. The occurrence of these fogs may he said to bo the only inconvenience of a residence in / ilapa. When Mexi co was a Spanish colony a fair was held at Jalipa, which used to he attended bv thousands of merchants, from all parts of the country; anil at which were sntd the goods brought to Vera Cruz, at slated periods, in fleets of merchant men from Spain. At the present day a | -initial fair is held at a paltry village in the in terior of Mexico —called Han Juan, Almost depopulx ted at other times, at the time of the fair fifty, sixty, and even eighty thousand people are congregated ,i Sin Juan. The next place of importance on the road t 0 Maxi co. Perole—the villages of Las Yigss, | ( , P) ‘ and St. Michael, mte-vene between u’and Jala ~ * The road front Las V-gas to Penile is verv had and strep. W hen you are in Perole, veu are in wi,i called the titrra fria. or cold region. And cold iiitugh it is, m all conscience! A day or two before you were perspiring at every pnro—now, votir cloak and comforter are in requisition. Perole is about 70 miles from Jalapo, and contains 2.500 inhabitant - II is 7692 feet above the level of the sea. It s house” ere one storied, very gloomy looking, hut very strong* ’The English legal maxi,t, -“every man’s home j. hi.” castle, is equally true in Perole, though in a differ enl sense.

In the vicinity ,-f Perole there are several ,j||,’ ges, inhabited solely by banditti The spies ol whom may he seen prowling about I'erote at the hour fl lv J for Ihe arrival o! file diligence. Tito third large town on the road to Mexico is P ue Ida. The road here is uninteresting— sometimes lead ing through deep gullies, at others along a dusiy plain Puebla is about 60 miles from Perole, According (0 some authorities, it eonlains 50,000 inhabitants— ac cording lo others, 90.000. At all events, there are only two places in the republic more populous t| lan Puebla i—they are Guanajuati and the capital iu r |f The cathedral of Puebla is a very fine building. T|, e lamps, hallustrrdes and principal ornaments of the al tar are of massive sliver. Some estimate of the value of the large chandelier may he formed from the fact that four thousand dollars were paid fur cleaning it a few vests ago ! There are many manufactories in Puebla : those of cotton goods, hard soup, and swords and bayonets are the principal. The people ol Pue bla are very bigot, and. hut energetic and persevering. They are braver than the generality of Mexicans. It is at Puebla, and only at Puebla, that an irtvadmg ar my Would meet with any thing like a vigorous oppo sition. r After leaving Puebla, you have ninety miles to go before you reach Mexico. The road that leads there to is ffell constructed, and kept in excellent condi tion, Nine or ten miles per hour are done bv Ihe diligence in the more letel parts of the road. Here indeed the name of •‘diligerice” is not a misnomer.— There is a shott cut to Mexico from Pluebla ; Santa Anna took it When he nonfilled |Sgainst tbe President Bust.mleiite in 1811.
