IMortM MTM4M . ■VM Ifte (tin ft tour huadrud and two* #«. T%#Wruf Santiago affords at ill thneu tm turn watnr, and good navigation up lha bay to a palm of land cull Ulysses, <>r Eliases Point, where uuaselsgunerally. discharge cargo, and from thence o*er lend to Matarntp-as, a distance of luma twenty * 'mile*, through a godtl country, over a good roud, tad well watored. The bnr of the Rio del Norto is Imd and dan gerous. Tho next Important point coming eastward is Corpus Crisli, in Texas, four hundred miles from abuih West Puss. The bar has five feet water, • and Is considered d.ngernus. Then we come to Aranxas Met, with n bar of seven feet. The nett r lnt is the bar of Pass del Cabel/o, where thero a tnfo bttPur ten Icet water, and nn inland navi. ' iMtion of thirty miles to Port Lavaccn, and thirty, five to Matagorda.' All those places are abundantly supplied with xtattle of the finest kind, and fish and oyaters every where abound. Must of the country is remarka bly healthy. Vessels from South West Pass, with n fair wind, nlthongh heavily laden, frequently reach the bar uf Pass del Cabello in forty-oiglit hours. A steamer might pass from this city to the Rio riel Mono in forty hours. The bar of Pass del Cabello is, perhaps, the on ly one on the Texas coast that affords suliicient wa ter, atoll times, to admit vessels of any size.— 'There is also an isfnndpassage from ibis Pass to a point within five miles of the bar of Santiago, which will admit vessels drawing four feet water. Tho w hole of this inland passage affords u sufficient depth, from Mutngordu to or near the Rio del Norte, for gun boats or small steamers. Sailing Vessels scarcely ever ascend the Rio del Norte higher that, tho village of Refugio, which is some twenty.three miles above the bar. but steamers tnay go some distance above Mutnmo. ms. It is evident from these statements that the best points for landing troops, not immediately on the Mexican coast, would be the Pass del Cabello. If it were proposed to attack Mutamoras, the inland passage, above referred to, would utford great fu. cilities, and the murclt by land would be over a lev. el, well watered country, amply supplied with pro visions and grass. Fat cattle, weighing from six to seven hundred weight, may be bought at fo r dollars per head. If the troops now at Fort Jesup were quartered at Baton Rouge, or on the Luke coast, they could be landed at any desirable point to the westward of Galveston in from sixty to eighty hours. In forty-eight hours after orders lor tho transport tation of these troops should be received, the wliuln force, with their camp equipage, and artillery could be afloat on steamers and sailing craft, if they wen stationed on the healthy coast in this vicinity, an- that, too, without passing through this city. Fron any point on our Luke or Gulf shore, they coul be transported direct to the Pass del Cabello. War with Mexico-—Gen Qdattlebum, it ap pears, visited Charleston, on Suturday last and as matter ofcourso, tho air was laden with the fume- of gunpowder. The Courier of yesterday says : “On Saturday lust, our city was rife with rumor of a declaration uf war by Mexico against tb United States. The report was founded on state ments said to have been made by a bearer of dcs patches from the Brilish*Consul at New Orleans, to the British Minister at Washington, who wn ; travelling “express.” It was asserted that a Bri lislt man of war had arrived below at New Orleans) that despatches announcing the declaration of wn. 1 has been sent up to the city, and, the muil boat fror- Mobile having left, that a steam bout was charter ed, nt an immense expense, to overtake the mail, and thus minor accounted fur the news having bee “exclusively” in tho possession of this express des patch hearer. “Great anxiety was manifested by all for tin: arrival of the Rail-Road curs with tho Wester 1 mail, to confirm the war report, if true. Tin mail came, and the whole story of war vanished in. to thin air. It proved to ho true that the Britis'. frigute Eurulice hud arrived altheBalize, fror - Vent Cruz, bringing despatches from the Britis' Minister in Mexico, In Mr. Packenhatn, tho Brit ish Minister at Washington, which were sent by n speciul messenger, Mr. Mure, as we believe is iisu at on such occusiuns, but their contents were oi course unknown to the person who had them i. charge." The news by tho Euryaice was given in our pa per of yesterday morning. The Now Orlean Jeffersonian Republican ol the 3d. a day later, con tuins the following, which is about as definite a one of Father Ritchik’s editorials. It has a wa. face and a peace face; an annexation face and ai. anti-annexation face—but such ns it is, wc give it “Private letters received here from Mexico by the British frigate “Eurydice," slate it ns a matte almost of certainty, that before long the Mexicui Government will declare war ngninst the Unite' Slates. We have seen some of these letters, am- they nil go to confirm the statements to this effec made in our paper of yesterday. So hostile i., this country and to Texas is the tone of puhli sentiment in Mexico, that it is generally believe tho Government must either go to wnr, or suffer a j overthrow by a new revolution. In this posture i- nfTairs, it will probably adopt the alternative involv tug least peril to its members, trusting to the chan. ces which the future may ufford to suve the repub. lie from tfie consequences of u conflict with tbi t country From one of the letters referred to, du led Vera C uz, May 22, wo have been kindly per mitted to make the following extract: “Cnpt. Elliott and a Commissioner of Texas areal litis place, waiting for the arrivul of letters from Mexico, which it is said will arrive to.duy.—- They will sail direct for Galveston in the French brig La Perouse. The Eurydice will sail for your port with despatches for the British Government.—> In addition to the propositions mude by England to both Texas and Mexico, to settle the relations o, these countries to each other and to the United States, in a manner agreeable to Iter policy, I am assured there are inducements offered of rather a tempting nature. They are as follows :—Eng land compromises herself with Mexico to pay ten millions of her national debt, and witli Texas slur agrees to pay the whole of hers, which is computed at eight millions. This, if true—and I havo got it (from very good authority—proves that England has some vory deep-laid project with legard to Texas ; ono much more important to Iter titan the advantages she might derive from the simple de termination of Texas to remain independent, con. Armed by the consent of Mexico. ‘-Those English who speuk of the controversy between Mexico and the United Slates—about Texas, never fail to introduce the question of sin. very, and regard its abolition in the little republic aa u consequence which will speedily follow the determination on iter part to remain independent. But from what I con learn, I cannot think that any proposition which England may make, however tempting it may bo, can now defeut tiio annexa tion. “Governor Shannon urrived Imre yesterday.— He will go in the “Annhuac" to New York, unless Com.

Some of its statements un it is true, confused—some lew of them nre incor reel; hut Ihu lono which we now understand it to lake in the oi ly casoto which we utiucli the slight est consequence, is sufficient to redeem its errors, and command our approbation.” This is kind; litis is grncuus ; we may new cltunl our Nunc tu dimiltus, uud rest complacently in the approbation of tho Official Journal. But let us terminate this sparring of parngrnphs. The Union, with its allied presses, is so much iu the Imbit of denouncing the Whigs as an anti.Ameri can party, a party under British influence and so on, that it is perhaps not uware of the arrogant in. suience implied iu its coud. sounding admission that a Whig journal may sumotimes breath “something of uu American spirit." It lias much yet to learn in tho wuy of appreciating the noble temper of that great parly which it bus been so long nss iling. If tho measure of a rash, incompetent Adminis tration, sirbservienl to the party purposes of an hour, and incapable of u lurgu and comprehensive statesmanship, should bring the country into a eri. sis of the last resort, it will lie seen then where the redeeming spirit, tho retrieving intellect and tlie efficient resources tire to he found wherewith to vimJicule the honor and uphold the rights of the Republic. The Union should leave to less rospec* table prints the miserable jargon with which so ma ny of its partizans, who can use no weapons of controversy hut misrepresentation and abuse, are wont to revile at random the names and the princi ples of better men than themselves, of true heart ed patriotic men, who hold their lives and their all as the properly of their country, whose warmest and strongest affections are for tier, her honor, dig nity and greatness. As to the supposed caso which the Official Jour, nnl puts it may find nn answer, which will do for our own, and for that of the great mass of the Whig parly, in tho language of Mr. Clay in his Raleigh letter a little more than a year ago. “If any European nation," suid Mr. Cloy, “ entertains any ambitious designs upon Texas, such as that of colonizing Iter, or in any way subjugating her, 1 should regard it as the imperative duly of the Gov. ernment of the United States, to oppose such designs the most firm and determined resistance, to the ex lent if necessary, of appealing to arms, to prevent the accomplishment of any such designs.” The busis of our policy with rospect to the in terposition of European powers in the affairs of this continent, was laid down by President Monroe, and if we tire to have n permanent, definite and consistent policy in any tiling, it might he supposed that it would he in this very thing. It is possible, however, tlmt men may come into the udminislra. lion of the Government who might not not be ac quainted with the public history of the country so far back as Mr. Monroe’s administration.

Great Promotion !—The Texas intrigue, we are inclined to think, will terminate so honorably to the conspirators, that the respective Governments of the parties to it will promote the functionaries to greut employment. Uapt. Elliott, we liuvo rea. son to suppose, will be sent as speciul ugent to the "Flat Heads," and Mr. Saligny will undoubtedly he made Minister Plenipotentiary and Ambassador Extraordinary to Iclmboe—this latter appointment will be exceedingly opportune, as Ihat island is quite bare, at present, of guano."—Picayune. Our neighbor ought to temper his sarcasms with a little justice; if not mercy. Neither the Flut- Head Indians nor the penguins of the Ichaboe have done anything to deserve such irony at their ex pense. Besides, while Ministerial promotions are in order, it is flat burglary to omit all mention of our own worthy Shannon.—N. O. Bulletin. Now we submit that Mr. Shannon’s promotion ought not to he considered of in this connection.— So fur from his having any part in tho intrigues un der consideration, ho appears to have been inno. cent of nil knowledge of what is going on under his nose. Shannon has unquestionably exhibited talents which lite government cannot fail to recog nize when a Minister is to be despatched to the “Lund of Nod.” Should there he no occusion for diplomatic relations with that power, the country would doubtless reap great benefit from his abilities as Captain of tho Night Watch in “Sleepy Hoi. low,” or Sexton of a gruve.yard in some healthy and uninhabited district.—Picayune. Tiie Age of the Ladies.—A pleasant, sheer ful, lively, generous, churitahle-minded woman is never old. Her heart is ns young at 60 or 70, us it was at 16 or 20 ; and they who are old at 60 or 70, are not made old by time. They are made old by the ravages of passions and feelings of an unsocial und ungenerous nature, which liuvo can- keied their minds, wrinkled their spirits, and with ered their souls. They urc made old by envy, by jealousy, by hatred, by suspicions, by unchariluble feelings ; by slandering, scandalizing, ill-bred hub its; which, if they uvoid, they preserve their youth to the very last: so that the child shall die, as the scriptures say, n hundred years old. There are many old women who pride themselves on be ing 18 or20. They curry ail the characteristics of age about them without even suspecting that they are old women. Nay, they even laugh and sneer, and make themselves merry with such mirth as malice can enjoy—by sarcustie reflections upon the age of others—who may step in modestly be. tween them and admiration, or break down the mo. nopoly of attraction which they have enjoyed fur a season, either in imagination or reality. Pride is an old passion, and vanity is ns grey as the mountains. They are old women that have much of either. They aro dry, heartless, dull, indiffer ent. They want the well-spring of youthful af fection, which is always cheerful, ulivtiys active, always engaged in sumo labor of love, whiclt is calculated to promote and distribute enjoyment.— They pine, repino.sigh and groan ; they ynwn and stretch themselves ; they murmur, grumble, long, fret, frown ; they snap, snarl, carp and vapor.— They goto bed in the morning'; they breakfust in lied ; they find fuult with this, that and t’other thing ; they make even their own children run away from them and luko refuge in the cellar, or the kitchen or any other piuce that may rid them of the old woman! A nd the children, on such occasions, also call them old, by an instinct of nature. Old wo man, old lady, old grim face, old gripe, or any oth er nickname with the epithet old prefixed to it, is as commonly applied by chi Id i e n to bad tempered mo. titers, nurses, or aunts, as pretty, kind, sweet, dear and other youlitful epithets, ure instinctively appli. ed lo the good humored grandam with her wrink led face. There is an old age of tho heart, which is possessed by many, who huve no suspicion that there is any tiling old about them ; and there is a youth which never grows old, a Love who is ever a WHIG MEETING AT THE STONE MOUNTAIN.
