The Indians along the route are peaceable. A Chkvasse. —We copy the following from the Pensacola? Gazette of the 18th insl: Until a year or two since, the Lagoon ex tending from the entrance of our harbor to within a half mile of the Perdido bay, a dis tance of eight or ten miles, bad an entrance into our bay, at a point near the residence of Major Chase, the channel at onetime admitted vessels drawing seven and eight feet, and all the vessels laden with brick for the building of port Mcßee, passed through this channefinto the lagoon to discharge their cargoes. By the action of the surf rolling in frotn the ocean, the entrance was gradually entirely closed. Thus the lagoon remained for several months constantly receiving accessions from the little streams making into it, until it was two or three feet above the level of the bay and sea. At this time, a young man living in the neighbor hood, “just for the fun of the thing,” cut a little ditch through the sand, at a low point near the fort, when the water commenced running, and in a few hours it was cutting away every thing before it, and in a day or two there was a channel of over a hundred yards wide, and in the deepest place twelve or fourteen feet.— The channel has ever since been encroaching upon the fort, and a few moths since began to wash its base. Major Chase seeing that the beautiful fort that had been erected under his supervision, at a cost probably of a million of dollars, was in danger of being “ blown up,” by an unexpected enemy, and knowing that the structure rested upon a “sandy founda tion,” turned his attention to stopping the breach—and used a number of methods, hut all failed, until the happy expediency suggested itself of procuring some 20,000 corn sacks, which were filled with sand, sewed up, and tumbled into the channel, and in a short time the water was successfully stopped and the fort saved. The Major is now endeavoring to divert the water into another channel, at a point where the fort is not in such dangerous prox imity. Mexican.— The Galveston News learns from a gentleman direct from Saltillo, that the coan try there is generally tranquil at present; but Irom certain indications, and some movements conducted with apparent effort at concealment, and under the auspices of high official func tionaries, we conclude that the present tran quil condition of the country is not likely to be ol long continuance, or at least its continuance is quite uncertain. The principal trade in this part of Mexico is carried to Zacatecas, where it is supported by the great mining interest of that State. Saltillo is represented, however, to he fast improving. A larger amount of American goods is sold here than in any other town of Coahuila, of which it is the capital.— There are some dozen American and English merchants in Monterey, the capital of Neuva Leon. Both Saltillo and Monterey receive a considerable trade from San Luis de Potosi. The principal articles of country produce sold in Saltillo and Monterey in exchange for mer chandise, are, wool, corn, cotton, wheat, bar ley, peas, rice, hides, etc. The price of wool is 12} per aroba of 25 lbs. It is qnite coarse. Corn is now sold in Saltillo at $ I 25 per fenega of 12 pecks. Cotton is sold at 15 cents per lb. There are two cotton factories at Saltillo constantly employed in making man ta, or coarse brown domestic. We presume these lactories are on a very limited scale. The ordinary price of manta is 20 cents a vara of 33J inches by large quantities, and twenty-five cents by retail. ytm l ■ »^p- TTrwrrT|nHnßl|mMm j Special Notices. NOTICE.

O’ Beware of Imposition.--The greater the value of any discovery, the higher it is held in the esteem of the public, and so much in proportion is that public liable to be imposed upon by the spurious imitations of ignorant, designing and dishonest men, who, like the drone in the hive, have neither the abil ity nor inclination to think or provide for themselves, hut thrive and luxuriate upon the earnings of the de serving. The extraordinary success attending the use of this Medicine in diseases of the lungs, and the many singu lar cures it has effected, have naturally attracted'the attention of many physicians, as well as the whole fra ternity if quacks—and caused unprincipled counter liters and imitators to palm off spurious mixtures, of similar name and appearance, of the genuine Balsam. are called “ Syrup of Wild Cherry and Tar, ” cherry Syrup, ” “ Compound Syrup ofWild Cher- r y> ’ “ Wild Cherry Corafrey, ” and Sundry other commands ; to which they attach a long string of Hut of such nostrums we know nothing. ls f H istar's Balsam of Wild Cherry alone that r r cures.

Dr, Hasting’s Compound Syrup of Naphtha is the great remedy for Consumption , Decline , Asth ma, Spitting of Blood , Night Sweats, Husky Throat, Wasting of the Flesh, Bronchitis, Coughs, Cobls, and all Dieases of the Chest and Lungs. This celebrated preparation is pleasant to the taste, and is so speedy in its operations, that patients plain ly feel its good effects in a few minutes after taking the first dose. When Dr. Hastings had discovered the virtue of Naphtha four years ago, he announced it in a private circular to a number of distinguished physicians in various parts of England, with a request that they Would put its medical properties to the test, and re port accordingly. The result was a host of testimo nials of the most favorable character, nearly all of which agreed in certifying that no medicine they had ever used could bear any comparison with it in re lieving hacking coughs, curing Diarrhoea and stop ping night sweats. It was also generally remarked to have a wonderful effect in increasing the appetite, weight, and spirit of patients ; and to be a powerfully efficient remedy in Billious and Asthmatic diseases. Os these testimonials, which were all published at the time, in the Medical Recorder, nine spoke of its ex traordinary influence in cases of Consumption—each corroborating Dr. Hastings’ opinion, that he had actu ally discovered the great secret, so long and vainly sought for, namely, a preparation that would stop the formation of Turbercles on the lungs, remove those already formed, and thus cure the most fatal of all maladies, and which had previously been regarded as being altogether incurable. Dr. Williamson of Man chester thus writes* “Under its influence, I have seen the emaciated being, on whose brow Death had seemed to have set his seal, acquire invigoration and strength ; and ex change his early mornings of intense suffering and distressing cough, for the calm repose which alone ac companies sound health.” Dr. Ware, of Liverpool, says:—“Jl regard Hast ings’ Syrup of Naphtha as one of the first medical discoveries of any age, and consider its agency in curing Consumption as established beyond all doubt or question.” Dr, Boyd of Lancaster, “ Hails it as the great consumptive antidote and cure;” and Dr. Hamilton, of Rate, pronounces it “the only known remedy which may be relied on for removing Tuber cules from the Lungs, and preventing the formation of others.” Hastings’ Compound Syrup of Naphtha is now be ing used in nearly all our hospitals, and is also coming into rapid use among all our best physicians, for coughs, colds, and all diseases of the lungs. It has been recommended in the worst stage of consumption by the celebrated physician, Dr. Mott, of New York; and Dr. Arnold, of Savannah, Ga., writing to the agent at New York* under date of Jan. 30, 1848, says: “I received the half-dozen Hastings’ Naphtha Syrup ordered from you, and am convinced that Naphtha is the principal ingredient. Inclosed is twenty-five dollars, for which you will send me two dozen and a half bottles, I have two patients in the M arine Hospital, whom I think will be benefited by it.” Price $1 per bottle.

Cotton * —There has been a good demand for this article daring the week, and the business done has been rather heavy than otherwise. There was a fair attendance of buyeis on the market at the close of the preceding week. The sales of Friday reached 1800 bales, and those of Sat urday 1400 bales; and the prices given in our re view of the 24th ultimo were not only fully sustained, but there was a stringency in prices on the latter day that denoted a decided upward tendency in prices. The position which holders had thus assumed, mani fested itself more fully on Monday. During the day a good deal of activity prevailed j and at the close of business the transactions footed up 2200 bales, and a full Jc., advance was established on the prices current at the time we made up our former report. On Tuesday the full accounts by the steamer Cambria came to hand. These advices were not as favorable as was generally anticipated, which exercised an un favorable influence over the market. Transactions during the day were partially suspended, and the market on the whole was languid. An effort was made by buyers on Wednesday, to break down the market, and this feeling also exhibited itselt through out yesterday, but no decided decline has been es- ( tablished. Prices during the two days were very unsettled, and the buyer would occasionally operate on easier terms. The quotations below will approxi mate as near as possible, to the present value of the article. The receipts of the week comprise 9707 bales, and the sales 8800 bales, as follows viz —9 bales at 4f; 15 at 4| ; 23 at 45 ; 77 at 5; 36 at 5 1-16 . 210 at 5J ; 165 at 5 3-16 ; 735 at 54 ; 16 at 5 5-16; 458 ats|; 84 at 5 7-16; 638 at 5* ; 233 at 5 9-16 ; 2500 at 5f ; 300 at 5 11-16; 2356 at s|; 143 1 at 5 13-16; 684 at 55; and 581 bales at 6c.

We quote ordinary 2f a2l ; fair to good 2\ a 3 ; and prime parcels 35 a—. Corn. —Two cargoes have arrived from North Carolina since we made up our former report, and have changed hands, but on terms not made public ; our quotations however, for this description—viz : 55 a 60c.—will give a correct criterion of the mar ket value of the article.
