YUU 1H AND AGE.
I often think each loitering form
That limps along in life's decline.
Once bore a heart as young, as warm,
As F»ill of idle th lights as mine!
And each has had its dieam of joy,
His own unequalled pure romance ;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrills at lovely woman’s glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth.
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passions, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Y es! they could tell of tender lays
At midnight penned in classic shades,
Os days more bright than modern days—
And maids more fair than modern maids.
Os whispers in a willing car,
Os kisses on a blushing check !
Each kiss, each whisper, far foodear
Our modern lips to sjm ak;
passions too untimely crossed;
Os passions slighted or betrayed
Os kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
Os beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see now ;
And is it thus—is human love
So very light and frail a thing?
And must youth’s bright visions move
Forever on Time's restless wing!
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this?
Thep what are earth’s best visions wirth,
If we at length must lose them thus?
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us?

Arrival of the Washington.— A New
Y'ork letter, of Sunday, says: “The steam
ship Washington arrived here this morning,
after a passage of sixteen days from Southamp
ton. bringing no later news than what we had
previously received by the America, at Boston,
She had the large number of one hundred and
forty-four passengers, and brought over thirty
live thousand dollars in specie, and a fair cargo.
Were it not for the recurrence of one of those
accidents which this unfortunate vessel has
been subject to from the day of her launch to
the present, the Washington would have made
an excellent passage, almost as good as that
recently made by the steamship America.
“ For the first eight days, the machinery
admirably, and everything went on
‘ smoothly. At the end of the eighth day it was
ascertained by observation and by the log, that
she had actually accomplished two-thirds of her
distance, and was in a fairway to make an ex
cellent run of the remainder, when some acci
dent occurred to her works, which partially
disabled her, so that she has been eight days
in running the remaining one-third of the dis
tance. This is exceedingly mortifying, but it
cannot be helped. The passengers speak in
the highest terms of this vessel ;ts a comforta
ble and easy sea boat.”
Rhode Island.—The Providence, (11. I )
Journal concludes a warm and able article in
favor of the nomination of Taylor and Fill
more with the following words :
“The enthusiasm for Taylor is kindling all
over the country, and soon it will blaze up as
brightly as ever did that for Harrison in 1840.
The whigs will support him with as great
unanimity as could have been brought to bear
in favor of any candidate, and he will receive
thousands of votes from men who have hereto
fore voted against us. ami whose support could
not have been secured for any other man. We
entertain no doubt of his election.”
Ship Ashore.—The ship Danvers, Elliot,of
Boston, struck on the Grand Roziers.at half
past 3 o'clock on the morning of the 13th inst.
Capt. Elliot reached the S. W. Pass, in one of
the ship’s boats, day before yesterday and pro
cured the assistance of the towboat Panther,
which started immediately for her assistance.
At the time the captain left tier she was lying
easily. The weather on the night of the 15ih
was boisterous at the Balize, and fears were
entertained lest the Danvers would suffer seri
ously. — Pic. Pith.
Capt. Gavi den.- We regret to hear of the

“This Hill Cooly trade is neither more nor
less than an East India slave trade, just as
wicked as its predecessor. These Coolies are
shipped off by thousands from all parts of India
to the colonies instead of negroes. Twenty
one thousand are said to have been sent from
Pondicherry alone : numbers are kidnapped,
and all are entrapped and persuaded under
false pretences. They are extremely ignorant,
and do not even k now that they are leaving
the company* dominions. They are so ill
treated by their masters that few live to come
back. Those who do bring with them the
same marks of Hogging and cruelty that wc
used to hear of among the slaves. There are
also great horrors on board ships—many die

A AVor<l Io tiie Wlalgs of Georgia.
Friends! the lime for action and a thorough
organization throughout every county has ar
rived. Are you ready ? Without organization
and a cordial and earnest effort, all hope of
success in Georgia is an idle dream. You know
the insidious manner in which the Democrats
seek to forestall public opinion, and occupy all
debatable ground in advance of their more qui
et opponents. Do not sleep whilst the enemy
is working hard Io effect your signal discomfi
ture. Make it a point to see all wavering elect
ors and give them the proper documents, that
whi»n ihr roto« nra counted in November, the
majority for Tailor shall be at least equal to
Harrison's in 1840. Be up and doing: de
serve success, if you would win it. Our friends
at the North are moving for ‘ Old Zack” in
right good earnest. They look South for your
response; but as yet, they hear few notes of
exultation. Cannot the old Hero, and a most
worthy Southern candidate for the Presidency,
inspire you with a little political energy, at a
time when so much is really needed ? Call
over the muster roll and see whether your
ranks are full, or have been decimated from n
lack of vigilence and perfect organization.
Without these no parly can long hold together
and prosper.

From the Savannah Georgian.
“And strangest of all. that the Convention which
almost uiiiiniiiiotislv reje« «ed tlir W ihnol Fiov«.-•<»
Should have nomiuaieil Millard Fillmore for he
Vice-Presidency. In nominating layloi lor the
Presidency, they avowed no principle whatever
Their principles are to be sought m the nomination of
Fdlmore-afrank a Wilmot Proviso man as the na
tion can furnish, and as dangerous an Alolmonut as
ever slabbed at the rights of the South Are the
people of Georgia to be gulled by such palpable de
ception as this ?”
We desire to believe that the paper from
which the above is taken will not deliberately
assert what it has reason to know is not true.
If Mr. Fillmore is “as dangerous an aboli
tionist as ever stabbed at the rights of the
.South,” the Georgian is bound by every con
sideration of patriotism and of duty to its par
ty to furnish some evidence of the fact. Not
to do this places that journal in a position any
thing but creditable. The Whig nominee for
Vice-President is well known to a large num
ber of Southern gentlemen, who have for many
years been members of Congress and sitting in
the same Hall with him. If Mr. F. is in truth
“ a dangerous abolitionist,” why did not South
ern Democratic members (not to name South
ern Whigs) find it out ? Why was he made
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means by Southern votes ? Does the Geor
gian regard the New Y’ork Journal of Com
merce and Courier \ Enquirer as abolition
prints? If not, then we assure our Savannah
contemporary that Mr. Fillmore is not a par
ticle more tinctured with that ism than those
well-known journals. Mr. F. belongs to the
conservative wing of the Whig party. If there
is evidence to show that he is in favor of the
Wilmot proviso, or ever committed himself to
its doctrines, as Senator Cass notoriously has,
we have never seen it. His opponents quote
the following remarks made ten years ago in a
speech in opposition to the celebrated 21st
Rule, in the House of Representatives, to show
that he is hostile to the South:
“ / disavow, most unequivocally, now and for
ever, any desire to interfere with the rights, or
what is called the property of the Southern States.' 1
Is this the language of “as dangerous an
abolitionist as ever stabbed at the rights of the
South ?”
'l'he >1 iveholdmg States are much stronger,
proporlionably, m the Senate than in the
House; and yet the Senate never adopted
anything like the ' odious 21s< rule," in the
other branch of Congress. This denial of the
sacred right of petition Mr. Fillmore opposed,
for the plain reason that it was building up an
abolition parly in the Stale of New- York and in
New- England, to the serious injury of the
Whig party, it led to the calamitous defeat of
Mr. Clay in 1844. This abolition party has
ever played into the hands of Northern and
Southern Democrats; and both Northern and
Southern Democrats have lent all “aid and
comfort” to such partizans as Birney and
Gerrit Smith, who are also Democrats, to put
down and keep down the Whig parly at the
North. For ail practical purposes in national
politics, there is not a shade of difierence be
tween the ultra abolition propagandists at the
North and the ultra pro-slavery propagandists
at the South. Il was the cordial co-operation
of these uhraists that elected M r Polk, ami pre
pared the way to annex New Mexico and Cali
fornia, avowedly to extend by the one faction
•* the area of free soil in the Union ; and by the
other, the area of our peculiar institution.”
This dangerous spirit of propagandism, both
North and South, the Whig candidate for Vice-
President has e.er opposed; and on the same
platform the Whigs of Georgia ami of New
York now stand shoulder to shoulder.
'l’he Georgian may rest assured that ail ultra
ism like that of Mr. Ca'S, who would “swal
low all of Mexico at once,” and have “ the
whole of Oregon or none,” will be silenced for
years by the now certain election of Taylor
and Fill more. The conservative men of all
parties and all sections will unite in placing
these sound, moderate and most reliable men
at the head of their national affairs. It will be
less the triumph of parly than of patriotism, in
this Heaven-favored Republic. Thousands of
conservative Old Hunkers will vote this ticket,
liHPaiNn they have summered and wintered
Mr. Fillmore for half a century, and know
him to be a great and upright man. who is emi
nently fitted to preserve the harmony and peace
of the whole Union.
We wish to impress upon our readers the
fact that his nomination was the spontaneous
olfering of the conservative Whigs of the whole
nation, and was not pressed in his behalf by
any partisan friends. The pestilent itch for
office which drives so many men of talent and
laudable ambition into factions and sectional
schemes for advancement, never affected Mr.
Fillmore. No opponent ever accused him of
seeking off re— a merit not common in these
latter days of American politics. It is lime to
return to the maxims and principles of Wash
ington and Jeifkrson. This will be done
under the peaceful and happy administration
of Zachary Tavi.or, largely assisted by the
experience, wisdom and conceded honesty of

Mr. Van Btircu*» Defter to the Utica
Convention.
The N. Y. Herald, of Saturday evening,
contains ex-President Van Bi rem’s letter to
the immense Northern Democratic Conven*
lion, held in the city of Vlica. on the 22d and
23<l instant. It is firm and moderate in its tone,
and bears evidence of having been prepared
with the utmost care and ability of its distinguish
ed author. From its language, the inference is
unavoidable that Mr. V. B. will not consent to
the use of bis name as a candidate for the
Presidency. He says:
“ A friendly applicatiun from our delegates to the
i.ua N.mona C hi. : <a . ikw v : • use my name

Notwithstanding this solemn avowal on the
subject, the Convention nominated Mr. Van

Wheat Culture in Georgia.
“Roswell, Cobb Co., June 17, 1349.
“The Wheat harvest in this section is finished.
Tiie crop is said to be good; but compared with the
product «•! the Wheat lands in New-York, it isnuYc
rable. I’he average crop of the country will not ex
ceed seven bushels to the acre. Ten bushels is said
to be a very good crop, and fifteen bushels a first rate
one. Your ‘very particular frienjs,’ the Anti-Rcnt
ers and Barnburners, would thin.' nothing of firty
bushels to the acre. My crop, estimated while stand
ing at ten bushels, turns out but six. I mean, how
ever, to continue the cultivation till I can produce
fifty bushels per acre.” — Savannah Rep.
“ Fifty bushels of wheat per acre ” is a
very large yield—much above the average
in any part of the world. The Anti-Rent coun
ties of New-Y< rk do not produce an average
of eleven bushels per acre, according to re
liable census returns. To grow regularly large
crops of wheat, requires more agricultural
skill than any other branch of American hus
bandry. The writer of the above says: -‘My
crop, estimated while standing at ten bushels,
turns out but six.” Most of the crops that we
have seen this season were over-estimated by
their owners quite as much ; or forty per cent.
A different system of tillage must be adopt
ed—far deeper plowing and the use of lime
and other fertilizers must he resorted to before
wheat culture can be very profitable in this
State. A system of judicious rotation of crops
isindispcnsible to the economical improvement
of cultivated land. Such a system is seldom
practiced in Georgia; and too much of its soil
now in tillage, is gradually or rapidly deterio
rating, instead of growing better. This im
poverishment of farming lands is a serious
public calamity. It is calculated to diminish
the population and wealth of many counties,
and indict injury on every interest in the com
monwealth. Whatever impairs the productive
power of any given area of the earth’s surface
operates asacommon misfortune to the human
family in the region hu.»affected. Merchants,
mechanicsand professional men are every whit
as much interested in agricultural improve
ments, as the farmers themselves. All are alike
dependent on the growth of cereal plants for
their daily bread.
Why then do merchants, mechanicsand pro
fessional men take so little interest in the im
portant matter, whether the land within 100
miles of their home, business or property, is
rendered more and more sterile, or more and
more fruitful ? Journals devoted exclusively
to rural arts and sciences meet with the least
possible encouragement at their hands. All
desire cheap bread, meat, butter, fruits, and
garden vegetables: and that those that pro
duce them shall prosper. To obtain both ob
jects. great skill in farming and horticultural
operations is indispensable. Knowledge in
these complex pursuits comes not by intuition.
Much study as well as large experience and
close observation are necessary to confer high
agricultural attainments.

Cherokees, killed a Cherokee woman, near
Evansville, on the 27th ult. Gann is a deserter

now in iMexico.
Several armed parlies, composed of whites
and Cherokees, passed through this city during
the past week, in pursuit of the refugee out
laws, who are now being routed out of their
stronghold on the line near Evansville. The
citizens of the State and of the Nation have
taken the matter in hand in real earnest, and
from the stirring business they did last Saturday
and Sunday, we have great reasen to believe
that they will soon rid the country of this ban
ditti.
On last Saturday. Mr. John Latta. Deputy
Marshal, with a company of men, surprised the
notorious outlaw. Matt Gerring. at the house of
Ellis Starr, near Evansville. Gerring attempt
ed to escape, when he was fired upon and kill
ed. Eleven balls entered his body—he had
cocked his unerring rille, but was shot in the
arm the first fire, and was thus disabled and
prevented from shooting any of the company.
Gerring was a white man, the Starrs were
mixed blood Cierokees. The notorious Tom
Starr is still at large, and we will never have
quieten this frontier until he is disposed of.
Arkansas levd Mines.—We have hereto

assays have detected silver in the lead ore.
equal to sll2 in every ton of two thousand
pounds of ore. The proprietors of t!.e lands
in which these minerals have been found are
pushing their discoveries with the most san
guine expectations of opening up rich mines
of hidden wealth. A private letter informs us
that shipments of lead will shortly be an im

cure the nomination of either Webster nr Clay,
have since come out in opposition to General
Taylor, as in the Convention they declared they
would do are getting a plenty of hard knocks
from their brethren around them, and will soon
be glad of the oportunity to retire into their
shells. The same has been the fate of dissent
ers in this city and elsewhere. In short, the more
the Whigs examine the ground on which they
stand, with Old Zack at their head, the belter
are they satisfied and pleased with it.”

The roval mail packet Trent, Capt Nor
ton, left Vera Cruz at 9 o’clock, P. M.. on
Thursday, the 15th inst . and arrived at ship
Island al 6 o’clock the evening of Monday, the
19th. Her advices are six days later from
Vera Cruz while from the city el’Mexico she
brings letters to the 13th, which is ten days
later than oar former accounts. She brought
a large number of passengers for the city.
The last division of the army, under Gen.
Worth, which had been stationed at Tacubaya,
three leagues from the city, broke up itsquar
ters and marched through the city bringing up
the rear ol our army. Immediately after the de
parture of Gen. Worth, the officers of Herre
ra’s Government arrived near the city, and
were escorted into it by the National Guards,
Some firing was heard at this time, w hich it
was reported arose from a conflict between
the National Guards and the Leperos, the lat
ter having declared their determination to
overthrow the former.
Gen. Paredes was said to be in the city of
Mexico.
There were encamped at Encero, awaiting
transportation, nearly 10.009 troops, consisting
of Gen. Lane’s Division, Gen. Patterson’s Ist
Division of Volunteers, ami Gen. Mar-hall's
2d Division, composed partly of Regulars and
Volunteers. These troops were enjoying fine
health.
Six out of the so-called “Ten Regiments”
were encamped at Sardinia, three m.les be
yond Jalapa, on the National Road, under
command of Col. Morgan.
Col. W. O. Butler was in command at Ja
lapa. Troops were constantly arriving there,
cn route for Vera Cruz.
The following regiments were to leave
Encero on the 16th fur Vera Cruz, and would
probable take transportation thence on the
21st <»r 22d : New Y ork, Ist and 2d Pensylvan
ia, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Georgia
Battalion, two regiments of Ohioans. New
Jersey ami the District of Columbia and .Ma
rylai <1 Battalions. The South Carolinians and
Georgius were Io sail for Mobile; the others
for New Orleans.
Capt. Tilghman’s Light Artillery was to leave

\ tram arrived in Ver.i Cruz from Encero
on the afternoon of the 15th, and reported hav
ing met an express at San Juan, going ontoEn
cero to carry intelligence that additional trans
port-' awaited them at \ era Cruz.
The Trent got under way shortly after the
arrival of the British Courier at Vera Cruz,
leaving behind, it is said, more than a million
and a half of specie. Her hasty departure is
attributed to important English intelligence
from the city of Mexico.
The health of V era Cruz had improved. A
norther had been blowing from the 9th to the
14th. an occurrence which has not happened at
ihat-eason of the year for more than a quarter
of a century.
Many of the invalid officers and men are rep
resented to have died on the march from the in
terior, being unable lo undergo the fatigues of
the journey at this season.
Col. Sev icr. our Commissioners, had arrived
at Vera Cruz, and taken passage in one of
the Government steamers for this port.
Col Dominguez and statT. of the Mexican
Spy Company, formerly in the employ of Gen.
Scott, had arrived at Vera Cruz, anil were to
leave on the Maria Burt. His soldiers. 12.5
in number, were anxious to come to the United
Stales, as they had been maltreated, and feared
the vengeance of their countrymen.
Leiters have been received from the interior
from American officers, stating that the Mexi
cans have begun to practice their atrocities on
all the women believed to have been intimate
with, and friendly to. the Americans. The
unfortunate creatures were branded on the
check with the letters “I . 5..” despoiled of
their hair, and. in some instances, their ears
wvre>lit. Many Mexicans who had been ou
amicable terms with the Americans, were anx
ious tu come l<» the States, nut deeming their
lives safe alter the departure of our troops. It
is reported that upwards of 2900 women were
lo lowing die rear division of our army, with
the hope of being thus enabled to quit Mexico,
andavoid the fury of their country men.

Bv order of M.tpr Gen. Butler :
L 1 HOMAS, A. A. G.
In the Arco Iris we find an order of Corn.
Perry, dated the Sth inst., on board the frigate
Cumberland, declaring the blockade of all the
Mexican ports from Tampico down to Laguna
to be at an end. Our forces are to be at once
withdrawn and the ports surrendered to the
Mexican authorities.
The Siglo XIX. announces that on the sth
inst., the 2d, 9th and 10th Regiments of Infan
try. of the army of Mexico, three companies
of cavalry, a company of artillery and the
legion of St. Patrick were to leave Queretaro
and march to attack Paredes. The same
troops would also be employed in putting down
some Indian insurrections.
Father Jarauta and a man named Martinez
Negrete, at the head of a small force, surprised
on the Ist inst. the garrison at Lagos. They
made the Prefect prisoner and proclaimed a
“plan” disavowing the present Mexican Con
gress and declaring that the Stales would re
sume their sovereignty for the continuation of
the war. From Lagos the pronunciados pro
ceeded to Cienega de Mata in search of arms.
It is supposed that the Government is inclined
to' chastise these disturbers of the peace with
severity, as it has already taken the necessary
measures for so doing.
A letter from Queretaro, dated 4th inst.,
says that this movement of Jarauta is directed
and controlled by Paredes, who is determined
to effect a revolution in favor of his monarch
ical schemes. He is accused of fomenting the
Indian insurrections. The cries or gritos w ith
which Jarauta entered Lagos were “ Hurra for
the Monarchy,” “ Death lo the Liberals,” and
“ War upon the Yankees.” His numbers,
however, are contemptibly insignificant. Ja
rauta threatens to hang all Governorsand Pre
fects who do not aid him in waging war against
the Yankees. Later letters from Queretaro
say that Jarauta’s plans had proved totally
abortive from the wholesale desertion of his
few followers.
The Siglo says that more than thirty Ameri
can soldiers [3OO ?] have determined to remain
in Mexico, and with them many oflicees, who
have offered their services to the Mexican
Government.
The sessions of Congress were to be sus
pended in Queretaro on the 13th, to be resum
ed in the city of Mexico on the 15th. In this
connection we give the following letter from
Mexico:
Mexico, June 13, 1848.
Gentlemen— Gen. Worth and his division left the
city yesterday, after exchanging salutes, which were
fired by hotli parties, before the American flag was
taken down, and after the Mexican flag was hoisted.
All is tranquil, and the Mexicans appear to be per
fectly satisfied and happy, though I fear that they
will not long remain so.
The Mexican Government arrived at Tacubaya on
the Bth inst., but finding the Americans had not left,
repaired to Mixcoac, where they staid until to-day,
when they made their grand entry info the city.
The Mexican papers confess that various
outrages have been perpelrated upon their
country-women suspected of too intimate in
tercourse with the American troops.
Gen. Rangel, of revolutionary note, has
been arrested by the Mexican Government as
a seditious person.
On the night of the 7th inst., an American
sergeant was murdered in a tavern in Mexico.
His assassination is variously attributed lo
Mexicans and to members of* his own company.
Gen. Kearny’s division marched from the
city of Mexico the morning of the 6th inst.
Letters from Zacatecas make mention of a
threatened incursion of 2090 Camanches into
the Slate of San Louis. This news of course
excited general terror.
We give here a letter from one of our cor
respondents, who was ut Jalapa on the llih
inst., on his way down to Vera Cruz;
Jalapa, June 11, 1849.
I arrived at this place yesterday evening, in eight
days from the city of Mexico, and found that Gen.
Patterson’s brigade had left the city the day before
for El Encero, where they were to encamp until
transportation could be furnished. The Kentucky
brigade, under command of Col. Thompson, 3d
Kentucky Regiment, forming a portion of Gen.
Marshall’s division, are encamped on a beautiful
stream, about four miles back, where they wil! re
main until Tuesday morning, when they will move to
El Encero. Considerable disappointment has been
caused in consequence of the transportation for the
troops not being ready, as a re;»ort reached them at
Puebla that vessels had been provided and were
waiting at Vera Cruz ; but it is now said that in ail
probability fen or twelve days will elapse before the
ships engaged will arrive at Vera Cruz.
Brevet Major Gon. Lane and staff arrived here to
day. “ Marion” is in command of the second bri
gade of Gen. Marshall’s division, composed ol the
two Tennessee Regiments, who will also encamp at
Ei Encero. The first brigade of Gen. Kearny’s
division, under Gen. Riley, is expected to-morrow or
next day, and the rest of the troops will not be long
behind.
Major Polk passed us the day before yesterday,
bearing the ratified treaty of peace. He reports all
quiet in the city, with the exception of some slight
manifestations of feeling against those Mexicans who
are supposed to have particularly favored the Ameri
cans,
An order has been issued by Gen. Marshall, since
his arrival here, that all persons who have been in any
way connected withgaiuliling establishments in Mex
ico, should leave the Department of Jalapa within
twelve hours after their arrival. As the town was
completely filled with these gentry, the commotion
and excitement caused by the receipt of this order
was intense, and denunciations both loud and deep
might be heard on all sides. About two hundred of
them left to-day, while a few’ have determined rather
to brave the wrath of “fat Torn” than the tjmilo.
The health of the volunteer troops here and al
Encero is very good. In the Kentucky brigade but
few have die I since they started from Mexico, and
those only who were sick when they left. u. c.
By later accounts we are informed that Gen.
Patterson left El Encero on the 14th and was
expected at Vera Cruz on the 21st with the
New-York volunteers, the Ist and 2d Penn
sylvania regiments, the Ohio regiment, two
battalions of the Georgia volunteers, and the
South Carolina regiment.
Not a stage leaves the city of Queretaro for
Mexico that is not robbed. One was lately
plundered in which was one of Gen. Herrera’s
Cabinet Many robberies and other outrages
were daily committed in the city of Mexico,
giving the police full employment.
The Mexican arms, munitions, Ac., taken
by our army and lobe restored under the trea
ty, are to be turned over *o a commission com
posed of lien. La Vega, Gen. Jarero. and Gen.
Dosatnantca. The appointment of La Vega—
our opinion of whom has been repeatedly giv
en without reserve—is hailed as an act of emi
nent justice by the Mexicans.
On the morning of the sth inst., I). Ignacio
Jauregui and Sr. Arteaga were arrested in the
city of Mexico as turbulent and seditions, and
were sent off to Queretaro.
From Yucatan we have later accounts, but
have room for bu ta few words. The inhabitants
of the Isle of Carmen have petitioned Com.
Perry not to withdraw hi* forces until the Mex
ican Government provides for their safety.
Com’r Bigelow, the military and civil govern
or. had previously ordered all Indians on the
Island as servants. to leave within ten days,
and n » other Indians are to be allowed to land.
The peninsula is still represented as in a de
plorable, hopeless state.
Vera Uri z, Mexico, June 15, 1849.
Eds. Delta — The English steamer leaves this day
for Cat Island. The steamers Hetzel ami Virginia
arrived yesterday from your city, bringing dates of
ttie Sth.
Wc had a great many arrivals of officers and troops
yesterday from nearly all parts of the country. A
tnong the number I perceive Capt. Samuel Head, with
his Seuora Micliaehta. It is not to be wondered at
that the captain was in a hurry in securing such a
prize, as Senorita lx»bas was not so homely as to be
sneezed at. Capt. L. l ilghman, with his company
and battery of light artillery, arrived yesterday from
Jalapa. They will return to the States by the first
opportunity, turning over at this place the artillery,
horses, &c., Ac. I understand that all horses will be
detained at this place, as transportation will not be
provided for them, at least for the present. A fine
chance th: for speculators. Capt. Watford, wiih his
company of mounted Georgians, arrived yesterday
from Orizaba. They will be shipped as speedily as
practicable to tiae Stater. 1 perceive also among
the anivyals, our old friend Mr. Peoples, of the
late American Star, loosing m excellent trim, and
as “fine as a fiddle.” Gens. Line, Patterson and
Marshall were, at last accounts, at Jalapa. lam in
i/»nucd it is the intention of Gen. Lane on arrival
at New-Orleans, to equip a force of 3500 men and re
turn Yucatan to fight the battles of that province
under the Yucatan banner. The general is a man of
business and energy, and I would not be surprised to
him, at no very distant day, the President of Yu
.-3tan. AU the b’boys at this place look anxioudy for
his arrival to know his sentiment- and learn his in
tended inode of pioc’-eding. This city presents, at
the present time, a busy, bustling place. The North
er which blew for the past few days being over, leav
ing the air more pleasant, the streets for the past few
nights, and particularly the Mole ha.- been crowded
with both sexes, the se norites now coming out of an
evening in all their enchantment; and our folks do
not look so formidable in their eyes as they have been
represented to them, and I believe any one of them
would have no objection to enter into practical annex
ation with lob Americanos.
I am informed your valuable correspondent, “Mos.
tang ” is on hrs wav and will be hereon or about the
ISih inst. The British courier will arrive to-day,
and if anything arrives from the nrerior i will have
it forwarded by the steamer. I send you a list of
deaths sa the General H -spitai at this place for the
half mun’h ending this ffay. Surgeon Wells, of the
General Hospital here, has been quite ill with fever,
bat is so far recovered as to be again on duty. Asst.
Surgeon Baily has also been ill and we iearn will
have to leave the country to ensure his recovery.
A pretty fair state of health uo'v prevails among the
trijops and denizons of Vera Cruz. How the Norther,
which has blowing for the past few- days, may
affect the health hereafter, remains to be seen.
Yours. &c., Cavallo.

From ihe N. O. Delta, 22d inst.
From Tampico*
The schr. lona, Capt. Leitch, arrived yester
day evening from Tampico, having left there
on the 15th inst. ToCapt. Dorsey, Company
C. Ist Battalion Mississippi Rifles, and Mr.
Wells, who came over in the lona, we are in
debted for the following information of the
present state of affairs in that portion of the
Mexican confederacy. The greatest alarm
was felt by the inhabitants, owing to the ravages
of the Indians in the neighboring towns. An
express arrived in Tampico on the 15lh inst .
from Tampico Alto, or old Tampico, to solicit
aid from Col. De Russy to repel an attack of the
Indians on that place. Capt. Hunt, of the Lou
isiana Regiment, with his company, were de
spatched on the evening of the 15th to the scene
of action ; and Capt. VVise, of the 3d Artillery,
was ordered to his assistance the next morning.
The result had not been known in Tampico
when the lona left.
Capt. West’s company of mounted volun
teers, tliat left Tampico on the May for
the Calabonsa river, to recover the bodies of
Capt. Boyd and Lieut Taneyhill, who were
killed last July in the expedition fitted out for
the rescue of the Encarnacion prisoners, had
not returned. Capt. VV. with his command,
remained at Huejutla at the urgent request of
the inhabitants to defend that place against the
attacks of the Indians. Col De Russy was
about sending a further force to Huejutla to
protect the inhabitants from the Indians, when
the news of the ratification of the treaty reached
Tampico.
The project of the new Republic of the Sier
ra Madre was steadily going ahead. A meet
ing of the principal Mexican inhabitans was
held in Tampico on the night of the 14th inst.,
for the purpose of perfecting the organization
and preparing the way for a successful pronun
ciamiento 11 ad the American troops been
disbanded there, the Republic would no doubt
ere this have been proclaimed. Capt. West’s
company of mounted volunteers will be the on
ly company disbanded in Tampico.
Bawler’s company of Illinois mounted volun
teers were under orders lo march for the Bra
zos. there being no transportation at Tampico
for horses.
Troops from Mexico.—The barque Mo
pang arrived yesterday morning from Vera
Cruz with more Alabama troops. This is the
third transport which has arrived here this
week, bringing the companies of captains, Mc-
Alpin, Barr. Gibbs and Irby. The officers and
men are apparently in fine health, and we learn
that no sickness of any consequence exists a
mong the battaiion. They will be mustered
out ofservice in the course of five or six days.

years. Sue had astonishingly clear views of the plan
of salvation, and spoke frequently during her illness
of her approaching dissolution. A short time before
her death she took an affectionate leave of her parents
and little brothers, begged them to meet her in Heaven,
and expressed her confidence that, in a short time she
would be with her departed little suters and her
Saviour. May the Lord sustain the deeply bereaved

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON'.—In making up our weekly statement
of receipts, we are struck with the very little varia
tion in the figure* for the last month, and we are in
duced to believe that there will be very little varia
tion unless some unexpected advance in the prices of
this staple should take place ere loeg, as we believe
that those planters who are holding back their crops
are not disposed to put them on the market at the pre
sent very low rates which prevail, although we
cannot see any’ tiling in the present prospect which
induce* u» to believe that any material advance may
be expected under the pre»ent deranged state of the
political horizon of the European government*, and the
present very flattering prospect of the growing crop,
which, as we learn from ocr numerous sources of in
formation, promises as well as could be desired al this
early period of the season ; the trying periods being
tne months of August and September, and the -alter
month being the earliest period before any pofeitrve in-
formation can be ascertained of how far success has
attended the farmer; and then the extent of the crop
depends very much upon the period of a killing frost.
By our tables below, it will be seen that our receipts
nave reached 2,193,646 bales, against 1,727,392 bales
last year; showing an increase 0f471,254 bales this
year. We also perceive that our stocks continue to
decrease very rapidly, and from a perusal of the Pri
ces Current of Charleston and Savannah we perceive
the stocks in those places on sale have become uncom
monly light. The stock in Charleston of Upland
Cotton amounts to only 15,936 bales, 8,539 bales of
which are on ship-board not cleared, leviug but 7,397
oales in store on planters’ account, for reshipment on
interior account and for sale; and the stock in Sa
vannah of Upland Cotton only 14,230 bales, about
the same proportion of which we presume is situated
as it is in Charleston, but we have no particulars.
Annexed are our weekly statements, made up to
the latest dates, of receipts, increase and decrease,
stocks and .exports:

Up to Saturday of the past week we have had quite
an active demand and at gradually improving rates.
Yesterday the demand fell off and the sales did not
reach over 300 biles. the operations have
been very limited, we may almost say that operations
were suspended, as the Telegraphic accounts receiv
ed last night n'ot being very definite, holders as well
as buyers prefer awaiting the receipt of further ac
counts ere they do any thing. The sales of the week
amount to 1,706 bales at the following rales, viz : 35
at 41; 14 at 4|; 107 at 5;47at 5} ; 138 at SJ; 74
at 53 ; 59 at s|; 21 at 5 9-16; 76 at 5j ; 283 at 5 J ;
95 at 5S ; 560 at 6 ; 45 at 6J ; 51 at 6 3-16 ; 10 at
61; and 83 at 6 5-16 cents.
We omit quotations this week, as wc cannot, until
sales to some extent are made, give thorn with any
accuracy. The sales made yesterday were at 5j cts
for Good Middling to Middling Fain.
FLOUR.—Good Flour has becomts quite scarce anti
is much inquired for, and would meet with ready Rale,
whilst our stock of common Flour is difficult to dis
pose of at any price. We notice some new Flour
brought to market in small parcels from a neighbor
hood mill of very fair quality.
GRAIN. —Sales of Corn have been made at from
43 to 45 cents ;Meal at 50 cents, and Peas at 56} eta.
The receipts of all descriptions of Grain have been
very light this week.
BACON AND LARD. —Our stock of these arti
cles has not been much increased by the arrivals this
week, and from inquiries that we have made we be
lieve that it is much lighter than it was at this season
last year. We notice sales of some Tennessee Bacon
from wagon, a choice article, hog round, at 64c., and
common parcels at 6 cents. Lard is in good demand
at from 7 a 8 cents.
GROCERIES.—We notice that our Merchants
are doing a fair business with the Country, and we
believe from the stocks in our market that purchases
can be made with us on as advantageous terms as in
any other market.
SALT.—The boats this week have added (Consi
derable to our stock of bulk and sack Salt. We learn
of the sale of 650 sacks from the wharf at 51.45. Re
tail price for sacks $1 624, for bulk 45 cents.
EXCHANGES. —Checks on the North, at all the
Banks, at | per cent premium; on Charleston and
Savannah par.
FREIGHTS.—Our river is in good boating order,
and freights of Cotton to Savannah remain at 50 cts
per bale ; to Charleston, I oth by the Railroad and by
the boats via. Savannah, $1 per bale.

~SAV-ANNAH, June 26.— The market

The Savannah market on Monday was dull, buyers

CHARLES TON, June 24. Colton.— The Cotton
market, which for some days prior to the date of our
lorrner publication had exhibited a good deal of acti
vity, with a slight improvement in prices, had at the
close of the week not only relapsed into a quiet state
in consequence of the advices brought out by the
steamer America, a summary of which was received
here on Friday, but prices were unsettled, with a
downward tendency; buyers, however, retired with
out being able to make any decided impression on
prices. On Saturday last an effort was made on the
pan of several operators to buy at a positive reduction
but holders could not be brought to terms, and very
little was done. On Sunday the detailed accounts
by the steamer came to hand, which were certainly
bettc* than the telegraphic despatch led dealers to ex
pect. This fact, taken into connection with the very
reduced stock on sale, owing to the light receipts and
the comparatively heavy operations of the preceding
week, made a favorable impression in favor of sellers
on Monday, and during the day they obtained the
prices demanded just prior to the receipt of these ad
vices ; and at tiie close of business the jc. decline
submitted to in the early part of the preceding week
was fully recovered ; since that time, however, the
market has been very quiet. There has from day to
day been some inquiry for the better qualities, but the
high prices demanded for these grades, owing to their
great scarcity, has had a controling influence in
checking the sales of the week ; the lower qualities
on the other hand have been neglected. The receipts
since our last reach 2739 bales, and the sales in the
same time 1500 bales, at the following prices, viz
3 bales at 4£; 182 at 5; 14 at s|; 35 at sj; 50 at s£;
107 at si; 60 at sj; Uats|; 22 at 6; 21 at 6>; 214
at 6|; 21 at 6 5-16; 271 at 6g; 225 at 64; 51 at
6 9-16; 127 at 6{; 22 at 6 15-16; and 26 bales at 7c.
The market for the low qualities was very unsettled
yesterday, we therefore forbear giving quotations.
Middling is held at 6| ; and fair and fully fair 6| a
6fc. The transactions in Long Cotton, comprise
about 200 bales Sea Island at last week’s prices ; and
200 Santeesat 17c. About 100 bales have been ship
lied on planterrs’ account.
Rice. — The Rice market has undergone no change
since the date of our former publication. There has
been some inquiry chiefly far coastwise shipment,
and the receipts, which reach about 1505 tierces, have
been taken by purchasers at the current rates of the
previous week. Good shipping qualities at prices
ranging from s2g to 3 1 16th per hundred, and sever
al lots of common quality from s2| tos2 13-16’.hs per
hundred.
Corn. — The Corn market has been very quiet dur
ing the week, owing to the absence of arrivals, the
receipts having been confined to a few hundred bush
particular notice, far if sold, they would give no cri
terion of the market.
Hay. — There have been no arrivals of Hay during
the week. The supply on sale is comparatively light,
and is held principally by one or two holders; and
shipments would doubtless pay a fair profit. Tne
last arrival was a lot of Eastern, and sold at 87|c.,
cash. We have had no arrivals of North River to
test the market, but quote nominally 80 a 85c.
Etour. — The Flour market continues very quiet,
the transactions during the week having been confined
to some small parcels for immediate use.
iSafL — Upwards of 3606 sacks, partially damaged,
received the previous week, have been put on the
market. The damaged portion, 500 sacks, was of
fered at auction, and sold at prices wiibinthe range of
74 a 94c. The balance has been selling out in lots
at $1 per sack. Alum Salt, in small fats, at 35c. per
bushel.
Racon — The market remains in about the same
stale as reported in our last, and we therefore contin
ue former quotation, sales to a limited extent having
been effected in Shoulders and Sides ; a lot of Sides,
however, under peculiar circumstances, was sold at a
price below our rates. The receipts since our last
have been 68 hhds. and 52 bbls. Shoulders and Sides,
and 60 tierces of Hams, of superior quality, some of
which have been sold at 10|c. per ib.
Groceries. — Our Grocery market continues very
quiet. The transactions in the leading articles com
prised under this head have been confined to the sale
at auction oi 50 lilids. prime Louisiana Sugar, which
went off at prices ranging from 44 to 4jc. The re
ceipts of the week have been 370 hhds. and 225 bbls,
by a vessel from Guayama, P. R.) .which put into
this port in consequence of injuries sustained at sea ;
and 19 tierces and 181 bbls, coastwise, which have
gone into store.
Whiskey. — Some 900 bbls. New Orleans Whis
key have been received this week, of which about
14U bbls, were sold at 20 and 20|c. per gallon, and
the balance withdrawn for the present. There was
a sale of 70 bbls. N. E. Rum at 26c. per gallon.
Exchanges.— -Bills on England and Pr ince nomi
nal ; Checks on the North f per cent, premium.
Freights.— There is very little offering far Liver
pool. We quote Cotton in round and square bags
7-16ths a4d and jd. Coastwise, very dull—to New
York Cotton in square bags at 25c., and to Boston gc.
for Cotton.
NEW ORLEANS, June 21, P. M.— Cotton.—
The demand continues steady and the sales sum up
3000 lades, including one list of 1000 bales Alabama,
at yesterday’s prices. The purchases have been
principally far the North of Europe. To yesterday’s
sales we have to add a list of 1000 bales Alabama,
making a total of 5000 bales.
