MEXICAN HIGHWAYMEN.
It must tie owned that tUi# country ha* fine ad
vantage* fur the gentlemen of ilie roaJ. The highway
belwe.lt Vera Cruz uud Mexico to the great coaduit
of ltle in tlna country. Nearly all the commerce goea
ty that way, and ninety out of every hundred tiavcl
iera ji i-s bj ibe same route. Tire chief portion of the
road is through an absolute desert. It frequently winds
up the aides of mountain*, and then is bordered by
forest of evergreen, forming a capital shelter for the
land pirate, the whole being a combination of Hun- (
fotvlnath and Shooter’s Mid orr a grand scale, and
Making high-vav robbery not merely a showy hut s
safe speculation, the gaining table being the chief re.
cruilhig oliice of the whole haitabou of Mercury.
The autistic* of gaming might borrow s chapter from
Mexico. The passion for play is public, universal and
unbounded. Every one plays, and plays for all he ur,
wonh in the world, and often tor more. But he has
his resource—the r ad. \ nu who has lot his last |
dollar, but who is determined lo play ou till he dies,
lays himself under alrong tempUUou* of coveting his
neighbors’ goods, The hour when the stage passes is j
known to every one , the points of the road where they
must go slowlv up toe hill, are familiar to all highway
recollections. Associates are eapediuously found • |
rnoug the loiter. IS, who. after their awn rum, sit round
the room watching the lack ot others, {'he baud is!
formed in * moment; they take the road without delay, 1
post themselves in lbs evergreens, enjoy the finest im
aginable prospect, and breath the Uio.t refieahing air,
until the creaking ot the coach wheels pula them on
the alert. They then exhibit their weapons the pis- I
sengers produce their little pursea, the stage is robbed I
of evaiylhiog |HirUblc, or converlaldu into cash, the
band return to the gaming table, fling out their coin,
and play tiU they are either nth ur mured once more.
Some tune after an adventure, such a we have de
scribed. th alage was rubbed near I'uebU by a gang,
all of whom bad the appearance of gentlemen. When
the open ion of nd.ng every body and every thim; was
completed, one ol the robber* observed -‘that they must
not be looked on as professional thieves, tor they were
gentlemen ; hut having been unfortunate i play, they
were forced to put the company to this inconveoirnce,
for wtrrh they icijueated their particular pardon.'.
An incident of tnie order occurring in the instance
of a public personage, some years b. bur, lung eicited
remsikable llile'e*'. The Swiss consul had been as
sassinated at noonday. A carriage liad driven up lo
hi* door, out of which three uirtl cnrir, one rn the dree*
of a priest. On the duoi being opened they seized and
gaggrd the porter, rushed lutes the apeiimenl where
the consul wa* s.tung. murdered and robbed him and
then retreated. None knew whence they came or
whither thef w-nl; tiut tlto murdered man in hia dy
ing struggle had torn a button off (he coat of oue of
the robbers, which they found still cleaedsed in hit
band. A soldier was shortly slier seen with more
money then be could account for. Suspicion neturah

4 *iiut wuh the war actually exiting, and demanding
a vast iKcieuse ju the public e*|jeudffure, the inconu*
ol the U overut&ient is (>ut to haaaid by eijiermient’ ujh ;
on tlie revenue, bnances, arrd currency. The public i
aeatiaeut has h*ng since decided Unit the Federal (Jov
ernment shall be mt-ifit si next, in time ol jwace at least,
by dutiea on foreign unjsjfis. It may be assumed !•
have been equally well settled ia the |>ractic of the
nation that, ju making such levies*, and scrim matrons ;
might be allowed, tn the selection id subjects of revenue
and in the amounts imposed, to give encouragemcn'.
io the unions of our own industry*. It ia now de- -
dared that tins practice has always been a mischievous 1
error; and, ia the midst of the exigencies of the Tress- j
ury, a tariff ui duties, yielding $*7,000,000 a year, has
beeu abandoned irr favor of a theoretical system, not
eij©eled to produce rai*re, if as much, to the end that
protection may lie no linger recognized in raising rev
enue. We are, therefore, probably destined to witness
a lass in the revenue, brought about by a change aim
ing at revenue only. With appropriations exceeding !
fitly millions of dollar* per annual, and an income le&h*
loan thirty nuUious, a resort to higher duties or direct
taxation must soon be inevitable. These additional
burdeus are not Itkely to be meliorated, but will be felt
with the mo.e >everity, from another solemn act of
Congress at the last session, ordinarily called the Sub-
Ueasury law. liy this it is required that, from and af- :
tor the first day ot January next, whatever amount of
exaction may be made upon ihe people by the Govern
ment shall be paid in gold and stiver coin only, or in
Tieasury notes of the United State#. It this law is to ;
; be evaded by the ollicera charged with its execution.
i (aa was add to have been the case in its former partial
; eperation,) its passage was but trilling with the pub
j lie iutelligt uce. If it is to be executed in the rigor of
its conception, it will needlessly and mischievously add
to the necessary burdens of the Government. W ith a
prospect before us of increased levies, to be paid only
in the precious metals, except when Treasury notes,
the evidence of the Government’a indebtedness, can be
procured in their stead, we cannot but welcome any
demonstration of public opinion which promises a
change of counsels.”
Substitute fur Mesmerism. —One of the Surgeons
: of the Massachuaetts linspitala, Dr. Bigelow, read a
paper before the Boston Society of Medical Improve
ment, on the 9th ult. announcing a discovery of great
imeieat. It is a method of mitigating pain in surgi
icul operations by ilie inhalation us certain etheia.—
• Dr. Morton of Boston, first called his attention to it ;
and though a similar process does not appear to have
been entirely unknown to the medical Isculty in for
mer times, yet nothing like certainty was obtlined in
the resulis of the old methoda. A great many experi
ment* have been made with the new. however, in all
, of which die attempts to perform important operations
without inflii ting pain on the patients were complete-
Iv successful. Many of these are described in Dr.
Bigelow’s paper, of which the following aro sped
i mens:
A hoy of sixtern, of medium stature and strength,
win seated in the chair. The first few inhalations
, occasioned a quick cough, which afterward# subsided;
M the end of eight minutes the head fell back, and the
| arms dropped, but owing lo some resistance in open
mg the aiooili, (he tooth could uot he reached before
he awoke. He again inhaled fur two minutes, and
slept three minutes, during which time the tooth, an
inferior molar, was extracted. At the moment of ex
traction the features assumed an expression of pain,
J and the hand was raised Upon coining to himself
he nan! he had hid a ‘first rate dream,’ very quiet,
j and had dreamed of Napotenr,— bad not the slightest
consciousness o( pain—the time seemed long; and
he left the chair, feeling no uneasiness of any kiod.
| nd evidently in a high dtate of admiration. The pu
pils were diluted during the state of unconsciousness,
j and the (Kilse rose Iron 130 lo 14'.'.
A girl of six lavui immediately occupied ihe chsir.—
After coughing a little, she inhaled during three min
ute*, and fell asleep, when molar tooth was extract
d, after which site continued to slumber tranquilly
during three minutes more. At the moment when
force was applied she flinched and frowned, raised her
hand to her mouth, hut said she had neen dieaming a
pleasant dream, and knew nothing <>( itie operation.
A stout boy of twelve, at the fiist inspiration cough
ed considerably, and required a good deal of encour
agement to induce hiVi lo go on. At the end of three
minute* from the first fair inhalation, Ihe muaclrs
i were relaxed and tho pupil dilated. During the at-
I tempt lo force ojwn tho mouth ho recovered hia con
ociousnca*, and again inhaled during two minutes,
and iha ensuing one minute two teeth were extracted,
the palient seemed somewhat conscinuv, hut U|K>n ac
tually awaking he declared Ml war Ihe heat lun he ev
er saw,’ avowed hia intention to come there again,
and insisted upon having another tooth extracted up

an opportunity of complying with hn with, hut the
pair, proved to lie considerable. Pole at first 110,

The next patient was a healthy looking, middle a
ged woman, who inhaled the vapor for four minutes;
in the course of the next two minutes a hack tooth
was extracted and the patient continued sniilug in bur
sleep fu ikree minutes more. Dulse IkO, not all, ct

From aooltw* reptni <m the subject, made by Prof
Orm, after farmer luvcsiigathNiv, we take the lullow

of *d of vitriol, will router ujkmi raw cotton its explo
sive power, Hydriote of nitric and ( satpeftrtaura

tli>* cuUwu becomes Uauspsrent, and the fibre is not
injured of ditsoNed. The acid by diatillition fi st pro
cured ia bet. Cotton dipped into it toi bait a minute,
and iheti quickly pressed between gh*s plates, or
boards, and washed afi.rwacjs until it is entirely free
from and, and euliaequeiUly dried, produces a supe
rior exploding article Using the acai a second time,
da inferior article is made; but f afier having been
washed and dried it is again dip{ed into the acid, it
bocoiitee excellent. A repetition ot the manipulition
necessanly atigmenls the exploding quality. Cotton
may even leiuain in the acid longer than half a min
ute. Tint which lias laid iu it as long as 12 hours
was found to he very explosive,
‘ It is iinjKirtsnt that the cotton be well washed
when it is taken out*of the acid ; tor if any iemail! in
it, a sulifietre tlavur will attach to it when dry, and
when exploding will leave on any thing white an a
cKi tincture. The vivid explosion of a small fall ot
the article on a white chinapUle, is the criterion to
test its good quality by. It must flash like gunpow
der, arid leave no dust behind it. ll a particle even is
seen il cannot be used in guns. It also appears to be
neieasary th* the cotton, alter having be o dip
ped into the acid and pressed, be immediately put in
to a 1 rge quauuty of waier. If the cotton be put into
an inaulficieni quantity of water, it (the cotton) gets
i heated ; and sm.dl quantities of cotton aie ulsupiefer
able; for, il large, it forms into knots of a hlueish
gieen color, which are so film, os not to be easily
loosened. The more the prepared article resembles
the one in its natural state, the belt* r and more pow
erful it is. With 6 4ihs or 6 4th of a grain —480
grains equal to an English ounce—balls of J inch di

When 6 grains, a bullet was driven from a rifle, at a
distauc* of 45 steps, into an oak plank, to the depth
of an inch ; and, with four or five grains, effectual

Vicksburg, brings the particulars of a steamboat acci
dent tvhich occurr.d on ihe 2lst in-t., aboutseven
miles below Nalchex, ill the bend of the river, by which
some twenty or thirty lives were lost and a gicat num
ber of persons weie severely scalded.
The Sultana, bound down tho river, came in con
tact with the steamboat Marta, Capt. T. VV. Dunnica,
bound up, about * o’clock in the m irriicis, struck her
just forward of the wheelhouse. and by the violcme of
the shock broke the conn ciion pipe ot the Maria, by
which the cleik, Mr. J. I*. Durst, the third engineer
Mr. Samuel Hern, and between twenty-live and thirty
deck hinds and deck passengers were scalded, many
of thi'io so severely that there was no prospect of their
recovery.
The Maria sunk to wilhin about two feet of her cab
in floor within two minute* after ihe collision, drown
ing between twenty-five and thirty persona who were
on the lower deck, it i* thought that Capt. Dunnica
was drowned, Lint it is not certainly known. The cab
in passenger* were alt saved.
The steamboat Talma, (.’apt. Hite, came down the
river soon alter -be accident, and took on board the
wounded and conveyed them back lo Natcheslobe
placed in ibe hospital. Thu Sultana remained by the
side of ihe wieck till sunrire the next run ntng, render

At an election of Director* of the Company on Sat

John ti. Wurrag, President.
Samuel Boykins. John Bank*. 11. Si. Huiilh. Phil
ip T. (Schley. Jacob I. Mo*e, Van I.eonard.
We congratulate our citizen* that a practical form
ia now given to the pubic effort* in behalf us this irn- j
portant enletpritr ; and that they have in tho charact
er of the Board of Directors selected, and in the well j
known business energy of its President, a guarantee, ,
that what has been so much talked of in theory, is
now in a lair way lo lie realized m tllect. The pros- ,
peels, we are happy to stale, are most flattering. We
regard it t* a settled thing, that Columbus, having ,
rubbed her sleepy eyes, is now fairly awake, and will
do her pail to tins work. It ha* been believed for
sometime, that an ordinance of tho city, founded up
on the prsyce of the memorial of the City Heal Estate
owners, Was all that was necessary to lender certain
the construction of the K >ad and the immediate in
ception of the wmk. VVc learn that more than two
third* if the Property Holders of ihe city have aigned
the memorial. The pap.-r is still wiilrhclJ from Coun
cil, and i* atilt in circulation .for the purpose of ob
taining more name* (-mar us the persons absent) with
a view to approaching sa near to unanimity on the
subject a* possible. Unanimity, if men could lie of
one mind upon any proposition howevei plain, ia, in
the present instance, greatly to he deaired. It would
remove every shadow of objceiion In the project, and
would gat over th* awkwaid difficulty of the exercise
of a taxing power by the city, which would seem lo |
reside only in the Legislature—the aupieiue power of 1
th'’ Mate.
Humid tin* ordinance pass, and it i( believed that j
it will, Columbus, with their private subscriptions of I
$ 150.000 will l> ready to give to the work $400,000, i
neaidea large sums in the Itbur of individuals bestow
ed in grading and building superstructure, to be paid
lor in stock, and which will lie equivalent to to much
capital. Columbus will thus furnish, say $450,000,
being one halt the estimated cost of the work.
M’e understand that the Central Hail Road interest

JOHN C. CALHOUN.
This eminent man has lately been called out, on the
subject us the proposed change of the CotwtUution of
South t'arnlina, in reference to the election of Dissi
dent and V ice President, and has given his views, at
leuglh, through (he public gazelles. At present, as
is wed unown, Khepeople oi lhat State have no di
rect voice in the election of Piesident and Vice Die
sident, the Legislature electing the Electors. Con
sequently the merits of the Presidential candidates
are never much discussed among the people, or made
a /*/ question 111 the election of membeis of the Le
gislature.
Mr. Calhoun labors vehemently against any change
in the present mode of electing the Chief Magisliate
of the Nation, and leans awfully to the doctrine that
all power should be left into the bands of the few —or
in other words that the “people are incapable of sell
govenmieni!” Do our mind, there is nothing that
savors of sound democratic principles in the whole of
that lung letter of Mr. Calhoun, hut much of that o
dinus aristocratic idea, that there are some who are
born “boon and and spurred” to ride over others. -•I git
imateiy, by the grace of (iod.” Such sentiments
may do in the atmosphere of despotism, but are not
suited to the meridian of republicanism, and we are
therefore gl.id to find, lhat, even in South Carolina,
there are some tokens of dissent from the views ex
pressed by the great Magnut Apollo of lhat Common
wealth.
The Editor of the Athens ((ia.) -Banner, * express
e’s our opinion exactly, in the foll<*wiqg extract from
his comments upon the aforesaid letter ol Mr. Cal
houn :
“We think Mr. Calhoun has laid the axe to th
very root of the tree of liberty, and by a refined and
impracticable distinction between the numerical and
concurrent majority, given greater evidence ot his in
geuuity as a politician, than ol his practical judgment
as a statesman.”
The New York Tribune of Saturday has the fol
lowing :
New Treat! at Washington.— lt has for some
days been reported from the Federal Metropolis that
Col- Benton has givem in his unqualified adhesion to
the ruling dynasty, and will he the Administration
leadei in the Senate in the corning session.
We have just learned what is the quid pro quo of
this adhesion. Col. Benton’s son-in-law, J. (J. Fre
, mont, who was recently jump and over three or lour
grades of his seniors in the Army, and from a Lieu
tenant made a Lieutenant Colonel, has been appoint
cd Governor oj California ■ bo Stockton, Sieveu
son, Mason and all are adrift. Fremont is to be the
autocrat of the new empire, as the price of ‘Old Dul
j lion’s support of the tottering Executive, is the
advantage of having a poweiful friend at Court.—
! is the game which great men (in station) play,
using for dice the bones ol the undistinguished multi
tude. We have this informati *n p ivately, vs course,
but from such a source that we feel veiy sure of its
authenticity.
Pork Trade. —The Cincinnati Gazette of Thurs
day says—
There are several thounnd head now in two or
three of the pens, but the weather is still entirely too
warm for packing, anti buyers do not enter the mark
; et. The few 6ales that have been made are in an ir
-1 regular way, and do not allord the slightest indication
of Che rate at which the market will open. We there
-1 lore make no further mention of them. We are still
of opinion that the fin*! week’s operations will he at
about i'Z
means certain that the effort* which are now (nuking
on the part of drovers and some others to open at $2
75, will not be successful.
How cameil So? —The Union received yesterday,
in replying to some remarks ol an English editor,
makes the following emphatic assertion:
Out government made no sort of bargain with
, Santa Anna, & never counted upon his treachery.TX
V\ e consider the above assertion exceedingly im
portant. If our Government did not count upon the
! treachery of Santa Anna, and made no sort of bar
gain with him, whit was wanted with the two milli
on* old diars—the most of all, because most import
ant to the country. How came Santa Anna to have
means of passing through the blockading squadron
with the knowledge of ihe United States officers’!

The Mexican, ns a soldier, is thus spoken of in a
litter from an officer ol the u gular atmy , wtitlen from

The Mexican soldier is brave beyond bis officer;
passive and enduring. The morale ol such an amiy,
when properly officered, might be made equal to any
in the world. But physically, they cannot be com

More of the Sub-T easury . —The Editor of the Pe
tnfsburg Intelligencer describes the Bubtrea*ury in the
‘Cockade town’ as Ifing by no means “i patent as
bestos iron box, with a bluriderbu* well loaded and
cocked inside, so that any man who had’nt the hang
ol it attempt* and lo op*n itj he would get a load of slugs
in his bread-basket,” but simply leather travelling
trunk, with straps to match—just such a one as a
man would take on a jaunt to the White Surphur or
Saratoga, and bought, no doubt* at one of the l eters
buig shoe and trunk stores ! Th*t’s the Petersburg
Subtreasury.”

picayune of the money, so that if a man were to take

The Virginia has arnved with u- at lasi, hut we
have had 0 -loujih lime of it,” 1 cun assure you. —
We left the B.asus on the evening of the sth, with 156
paa.-engers most of w hom were discharged volunteers.
Half of these people were wounded or iick, some hav
ing lost their legs, others their aims, and others be
ing wouuded in their arms and legs. Night before
last, a discharged soldier, who WiS wounded in the
battles of last Mjy, and had been in tbe hospital at
Point Isabel ever since, died on bond, and was buri
ed %t sea. Had a s-veie gale caught us, lour or five
more would undoubtedly have died. Will you believe
me when I tell you that, wiih all these sick and
wounded and dying men, not a surgeon 01 nurse was
sent along to attend upon tlulu, not u particle of med
icine furnished, not a patch ol linen fr dressing
wounds? Much is tbe truth and such, I understood,!
is the manner in which the men who have been
out to light our halites, but who are unfortunate e- j
nough to get wounded or become sick, are sent home r
like old horses lurried out to die ! ‘1 he Virginia has
no accommodations for passengers, having but eight
berths, and you may be assured that the condition ol
the sick was horrible. Gspt. Tucker did all in bis
power to alleviate their suff rings, but, of course, not
much could be done without means.
The London Standard ol the 30th ult. says:
Lord J. Russell and Lord CoUenham, at ti‘ e cabi- j
net couucil, on Wednesday, urged earnestly the eon*
slitutional necessity of an early section, to obtain a
! parliamentary sanction for the reduction of the 4s. du
!ty on imported grain, ihe council broke up without
j coming to any definitive it solution. At the meeting
j of the ministers, on Thursday, the subject was resu
-1 mod, and on this latter occasion the opponents of an
! early session had the advantage of Mr Bancroft's ar
rival from the United Slates, with intelligence that
! the supply of grain collected in the American ports
| lor exportation, is *o ample as to render extremely
improbable the necessity fur a reduction of the duty.
So it seems Mr. Bancroft’s first act, alter reaching
England as Minister from the U. Mutes, was to pre
j vent the opening of British ports to American gram !
I It this is a specimen of his diplomatic career, he will
! certainly make a valuable representative. V\ e look
with interest for his next movement. Probably he
will induce the Cabinet to put the duties up to the old
mark.
Steamboats on tht Ohio. —Worn* of the most beau

1 Louisville, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, 108
steamboats, with an aggregate tonnage ol 27,000 tons,
at a cost of $1,400,000. ‘The Cincinnati Advertiser
sayc there are at this time no leas than 750 steamboats
on the western rivers, whose tonnage will not tall
short of 160.000 tons and which have cost in their
i construct ion & equipment, not less than $12,000,000.
