ConrlMhtp and Disappointment.
Ml$s Suhov Smith had flaxen lintr,
Her daddy had the pewter,
Her oyos wore grey, and looked ■crcuo,
Upon hor favorite suitor.
That iuitor wns n jolly youth,
. So nimble, blithe nud brawnev,
The yellow fever took him off,
One day to California.
And when I heard that he was gone,
•‘It’s now," snid I, “or never J”
I shaved myself and greased my shoes,
And tried to look right clever.
I rigged myself from top to ton,
And naught and mounted Robin,
But all tbb way I rode along,
My heart it kept a tlirobliin*.
And when I renchod hor daddy's doer,
It still kept on a thumpin',
But when 1 saw that heavenly mold
It kinder stopped a jumpin'.
'Twos half-past ten, when at her feet
I knelt, and yet ore dinner,
With liouiod speech and winoing ways,
I had contrived to win hor.
Some month elapsed—to set the dny
I now began to press her:
I urged, entreated, and plead in vain—
In vain did I caress her.
While matters were thus cross’d and pil'd,
My clothes all growing seedy,
My rival from tho mines returned,
Still for my Sukey greedy.
I saw him kinder sidle up,
And slip his arms around her,
When—heavens and earth ! she lot him kiss
Those previous lips I Confound lior I
I told her that I was surprised—
My eyes lmd sure deceived me—
And asked her to renew hor vows,
And from suspense relievo mo.
When, don’t you think, the tnrnal gal
Her thumb upon her smellc
Her fingers wriggled as she miM—

Direct Trade will, Europe.
Wc ilr.vv liiBellenlion of ouriSoiitlinrn friends,
n lew day. ago, (a an article which appeared in
an Amsterdam paper, respecting direct trade
with Europe through, the agency of rich houses
in that coininerciur city. The matter is, under
every view, so important to Southern interests
nnd Southern independence, that we should
strongly recommend all who feel deeply for the
wrongs of the South, to turn their eirtes and
energies in Hint direction, ns forming our
of the must effectual means for accomplishing
that independence so much and so ardently de
sired.
The South is in n (also position. She enn
elevate herself. She, with her chivalrous spirit,
nnd highiniinleduess, feels most gullingly the iu-
lltience of the Ninth ill nil that touches her inte
rests, cmuiucreiiit and political. Shull this state
of things continue I It ought not, and wo will
venture to predict that it will not. The people
of die South uro now fully alive to tho neecssitv
of action, in order to liberate themselves Irom
this thraldom.
the most effectual measures for arriv
ing at (he long desired object, is that of direct
trade with, Europe.
So long we will venture to suv, ns there is so
complete n dependence upon tile' speculators of
the North mid of England for the disposal of
the staple of the South, there must he siilmiis-
siouists, uad no desirable political equality. It
is not u mere question of slavery or no sluvcrv.
The tone of the Northern press lias modified on
that point. There is a confession Unit the South
may mu have been fairly treated. Hut that is
not enough. That will not repair the mischief,
or ruise the South from the lalse position into
which .he has been drawn against her will nnd
true interests. A step further must he taken,
a nil the firs! move in tho right direction will he
the plan of export and import above alluded tu.
Virginia, Alabama, and Suiith-Curolinu, are
tin" pretty tally «li*o to llm importance of this
movement. Alrcidy the first stale is taking ac
tive monsurce, mid a coiiventinn is about to ho
held in K elimmnl to consider the host means
for effecting the desired object.
It cuiinot ho loo often repeated, that England
is endruvormg to gel rid of its dependence on
tho Southern Slates for cotton, Ac. She is
attempting, by ottering high premiums for in
ventions to supersede tho raw muterial of this
country.
1 Ik; Not them States, it is needless to suy, uro
ready to do likewise, and huil every object of
tho kind with the highest satisfaction. Iiut
Wlpit adds still more acuteness to the stiim the
Northern und the English speculator have be
come masters of tlio> inurket, und me, in fact
disposers of Southern produce ut tlieir own rules’
regulating the sale nUp the price oven over tho
comment ol Europe.
This is not all. There is a proposal of a vorv
plausible character, to ourrv cotton, &c., by a
Northern instead of a Southern route to New
in' 'V present, a .considerable portion goes
by the old channel, (the simplest urn] tho best,)
through Now Orleans nnd other Southern cities
but in tho eohetno now talked ol, the South
would loose a considerable amount of tho onr-
r r'!i p w“ J V h ° t,lircj ' 0 , nce g°'"g into the pockets
of tho Northern speculators.
These difficulties must ho inot—new channels
must ho onened, Uy so doing, the seaboard
cities—such ns Charleston, Savauunll, Mobile,
New OrleatiSfNorfqlkj &c.—would reap inimenao
benefits, and rival in importuuco and wealth uny
cities of the North. Many millions, now lost
yearly to Southern planters, would be saved to
them, as the price of their productions would be
kopt well up in the market, and would no longer
be subject to those fictitious variations which the
speculators know how to create.
At tho same time, the shipping interest would
boa great gainer; and we should soon see
steamers of tho first class plying dircctlv from
our South-weatorttTibrts to Bordeaux, 'Havre,
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, &c.
It appears to dS Miat the South has immense
ly to gain by such a project. Its productions
are of that nature for which tho world has a
steady and increasing demand, und which arc
not to be obtained elsewhere. Wo can, if wo
like, and it is commenced, manufacture consid
erably for ourselves. Our productions nro a
mine of wealth quite incxlmustiblo, which, prop
erty directed, would render tho South richer
than the North by very far; and she would con
sequently hold, politically, a higher, and justly
a more influential position.
Wp must hot ho blind to this important fact,
that »ti proportion to our national independence,
W will 1* onr political power and influence.-!

Tho Georgia University Magazine,
A periodical published at a college conducted
hy|students, mid composed of originul produc
tion*. by yoiiug men still in their minority, shows
manifestly the great progrrssiveness of the ngc:
and especially thut portion of the world congre
gated within the walls of Franklin College, Ath
ens. But the young idea has been taught to
shoot sooner und further at that university
than ut any other, a fact which proclaims its stt-
petiority, ut least in the deportment of litera
ry composition. In this number tho Irish
“Monks of the Screw” find u historian and eulo
gist, nud well do they deserve the panegyric be
stowed ; for there were never, within tho same
period and ut the same place, so muny men of
brilliant gcniuB and racy wit, us in this famous
society of Dublin barristers. Our friendF.

with as much euthusinsiu ns if the same spirit
'which animated tho monks had descended to

The following paragraphs appeared in the
Republican of Saturday last:
Editorial Courtesy.—On Thursday even
ing. when we received our telegraphic dispatch
or the execution of Gen. topex, We considered
it so important that wc handed it to the Morning
Newt, and that paper of yesterday published it
with the credit to the Georgian and Republican,
which was all that wc desired in relation to that
matter.
At 11 P. M., the same evening, the News tags
their dispatch came to hand, but they did not
think it proper to allow ns to see it; and impor
tant as the intelligence contained in their dis
patch was, they did not even think it necessarv
to publish it in their own paper. Quere:—Did
they receive n dispatch at all 7
From this the reader would infer that we had
either neglected to reciprocate the courtesy of
our neighbors, who had magnanimously tender
ed us their dispatch of the news of the capture
of General Lopez on Thursday evening, or that
we had been guilty of u falsehood in professing
to hars.lV$cived u dispatch of our own.
Unwilling ns we are to be considered behind
the editors of the Republican in the practice
of courtesy, or before them ill the arts of decep
tion, wc are constrained to occupy a little space
in showing the utter groundlessness and wanton-
ness of the charges preferred against us.
On Thursday evening ufter the dispatch con
taining the startling intelligence of the capture
and execution ofGen. Lopez had (very properly)
been made public by the editors ol the Georgian
and Republican, and ufter our reporter bad ob
tained the substnnee of it ill tho street, one of
the editors of the Republican called at our of
fice and proffered us the use of their dispatch,
suggesting thut wc sliould'givc them credit for
the news.
Shortly nllor the editor left our office our own
disputch arrived, uad though it contained one im
portant fact not in tha Republican and Geor
gian’s dispntch inasmuch as the editors had
probably furnished us with their news, and ac
tuated by a desire to ciieonrage them in tho prac
tice of those iiineaitics and courtesies which
should characterize editorial intercourse, wc
published the dispatch furnished with the prop
er credit, incorporating the news from our own
dispatch, in the following paragraph:
11 o'clock, P. M.
Our own dispatch bus just come to hand, con
firming tlieubovu melancholy tidings. It states
that Gen. Lopez was gnrrote’d at Huvunn, on the
1st instant., and tlmt all the Americans who be
longed in tho expedition which leftiu the Pampe
ro, were killed or taken prisoners. It also stutes
thut Lubordc, the Spanish Consul at New Or
leans, was ut Huvnuu.
It will be seen tlmt tbe only item of any im
portance in our note not contained ill our cotein-
pornrics' dispatch, is that relating to the Span
ish Consul at New Orleans. As we did not pub
lish our uwn disputch in full, wc did not suppose
that either tho Georgian or Republican would
desire to do so. Accordingly, our Reporter took
the pains to go to both the other offices, nud
give them the additional item of news contained
in our dispatch, which was published in both
papers. The Editors of the Republican not be
ing at their office, tho intelligence was commu
nicated to ihe foreman of thut establishment,
who inserted it us follows :
Wc leurn tlmt the Ncirs bus a dispatch sta
ting that Labordo, the Spanish Consul of New
(Mcmis is now in Havnnn.—Republican of Fri
day.
Now, in the face of all tlieso facts—facts well
known to tho editors, for they wero informed by
their foreman thut the intelligence was commu-
niented to him in person by our Reporter, the
editors have tho unblushing effrontery, we hud
almost said the wilful mendacity, to publish ill
their paper of Suturday, the article above quoted,
in which we ure not only charged with discuur-
tesy, but indirectly witli falsehood. In reply to
tho insinuation of the editors, we give our origin
al dispatch :
“ New Orleans, Sept. 4, 11 P. M.
Raeeivsd at Suvannuti, Sept. 4, 11,20, A- M.
Cherokee from Havana 1st reports Lopez
captured gnrroted Havana 1st inst. 150 prison
ers, mostly Americans, in possession of govern
ment. All who left in Pampero killed or
mada prisoners. Luborde, Spanish Consul at
this city ill Huvumi.’’
If tho Editors still entertain any doubts on
this subject, they ciui sec the original dispatch at
this office, with tha following endorsement of the
operator on the back of it;
“ Savannah, Sept. 16, 1851.
“ 1 hereby certify that tbe within dispatch was
received ut the time mentioned, viz: 11 o’clock,
20 minutes, Sept. 4, 1851.
WM. S. TAYLOR.”
We have occupied more of our space with
this matter than wc intended, but wo preferred
to give tho facts, that our readers might put
thoir own construction upon them. The charges
of the Republican are capricious, puerile, and
wholly unfounded. We confess that wc pity
the puverty of soul thut seeks such flimsy pre
texts fo;- quarrel. What object the Editors have
in view by such incessant caTping at the News
wo are ut a loss to comprehend. Perhaps they
hope, by provoking us to retaliate upon them,
to excite the sympathy of their business friends.
If this is their disinterested object, we would
caution them to be cureful that they do not
merit their contempt.
Important from Culm.
Tho following, which we extract from the
Charleston News, ol Saturday evening, is inte
resting, tuken in connection with the accounts
which we publish from the New Orleans papers.
It will be seen, that the accounts by the Argus,
ure Irom Mntanzas to the 29th, tbe day on which
the Havana accounts report Lopez to have been
taken. These uccouuts give probability to those
received by the Cherokee, and help to confirm
our worst fears :
“By tho brig Argus, Cupt. Kean, arrived at this
port from Malunzns, this morning, we have dHtes
front tlmt port to the 29th ult. Wo learn that
up to thut time there had been about 300 prison
ers taken, most of whom hud been executed;
thirteen of them were shot on bourd the Pizarro.
“ The authorities lmd nmde such complete ar
rangements for tbe capture of the remainder out,
tlmt it is thought that none of them could es-
capo. The Spaniards manifested a most
thorough contempt for the Creoles, and had ex
pressed the opinion that they had induced Lo
pez to underlnke the expedition.
“ Capt. Kean had not leu riled tlmt Lopez had
been taken.
“ Wc have files by toe Argus of the Diaro de
la Habatm to tlie27lb ult., which contains offi
cial accounts from La Gaccta, which confirms
the disasters which lmd bcfulleu Lopez and his
troops, and the opinion confidently expressed
that the whole of his forces will be captured.”
13F* The Huvatm correspondent of the N. O.
Delta, puts no confidence iu tbe government ac
counts sent out by the Cincinnati. He says in
bis letter of the 22d :
. I have seen a countryman here—a Catalan at
that—whose life lmd boen saved by the gallantry
of Crittenden, and his family protected ut a mo
ment of imminent danger, pending an attack.
His mission was to plead that young Crittenden
might be saved ; but it could not be, although
by him, and by personal exposure to the endan-
germeut of his safely aud that of his tiartv lov-
nl blood had been saved to Spain. y
There are things I have not seeu, and vet be
lieve,from the evidence of a Spanish officer—per
sonally interested—Tlmt Gen. Lopez sent to the
camp of Enne, seven soldieig and two officers
that he had made prisoners, under the conduct
of an officer and soldier, being a flog of truce.
The soldiers and officers wet.i received—the flag
was not respected under the sacred guarantees
of usage in like eases,—and tho courtesy that
true courage does not forget—but the oflioer
and soldier were shot ns meet reward for giving
faith to Spanish honor: and with tho ’whole,
seen and not aeen t there ia enough to make the
heart sad, but not to induce it to yield to des
pair.
The same writer disbelieves the story of Gen.
Lopez’s surprise. Heaayslnliix letter ol the
25th:—
Tliero was possibly an action on the 21st inst.
with n skirmishing pony sent out by Lopez to
practice—and probably of Creole youths tak
ing their first lessons—but we have no faith
in the report as it stands. Wo are assured by
those who know the present position of General
Lopez, that the repons, as they are published,
are military absurdities—that no Spanish troops
have looked into his camp ; and if they have,
tlmt it lias been at a tremendous loss of life.
The East is alive nnd active. We uro permitted
no sort of communication ill tlmt direction,
either personal or by letters. Yesterday morn
ing 4 pieces of artillery, 12 artillery men and a
large quantity ol cartridges and fixed ammuni
tion were sent from Havana by roils to Bata-
tnanao to go East. There is some trouble in
tlmt direction. They cannot, however, hide
from tho world the truth.
25th, 1 o’eloek.—The Vuelta Abajo, wltere the
eoaltess conqueror, Lopez, with his Thermopy-
lien hand, puts at defiance the whole power of
Spain, lias pronounced in his favor, and tin mis
take. Providence guides the Hind wisdom of
man. The copies of dispatches prepared in the
closet by the government, which go forward in
packages for New Orleans, to prevent nny fur
ther aid from tlmt quarter, are (also—false—false
in conception and in fuel, without n shadow for
their baBis. Gen. Lopez is in position to sus
tain himself two months—in reach of tho town
of Guunajay, nnd the railroad from San Anto
nio to Havana, See.
The Cuban News brought by tbe Cin
cinnati.
The disastrous news by the Cherokee, mi ab
stract of which 1ms been furnished us by tho
telegraph, ofcourso deprives all previous ac
counts of interest. We give, however, the fol
lowing version of the Cincinnati’s accounts
from tho New Orleans Delta and True Delta,
the former friendly, the latter unfriendly to the
cause of the patriots. Wo have had no details
of these accounts. They are interesting, con
necting, ns they do, the history of events, nnd
showing at tho sume time the different coloring
that is given to the same views by the friends
nnd enemies of the Cuban cause.
(From tho N. O. Delta.)
Still Enter—Arrival of the Cincinnati.
Since the receipt of the above, the Cincinnati
has arrived, bringing nows to the 25th. As usu
al, the accounts are conflicting. Tho Spanish
pnpers represent the pirates ns scnttcred, dis
persed, annihilated; hut nt the same time their
dispatches lmvo an air of seriousness which gives
the lie to their assumed indifference. Ourlet-
ters give quite a different aspect to nffuirs; they
show tlmt^ Lopez Ims received grant assistance
fioin tho Credos, that lie is holding his own, nnd
can maintain himself for two months, nnd only
requires prompt uid to cumplete tho overthrow
of the Spanish authorities.
Our correspondent writes, that Lopez was in
position near tho town of Gunnajay, neur the
railroad from Sail Antonio. On the 20th, an ac
tion took place, our correspondent says, witli a
skirmishing party from Lopez's command, which
however, by the Spanish accounts, was swelled
to an immense victory, achieved by some Span
ish Bombastes, who gives a flaming account of
surprising Lopez in his stronghold, bayoneting
his pickct-guurd, nnd slaying some thirty men.
Our correspondents allude to risingn in other
purts of the island, mul represent the Creoles as
greatly inspirited by recent events.
Our correspondent writes thut the death of
Gen. Enun lmd produced a profound sensntion
at Havana, where he wus much respected for his
virtues nnd gulluntrv. He yearned to meet Lo
pez, (u lecling which we know the latter, with
the true spirit of knight-crrnntrv, wnrmlv recip
rocated). His ambition was gratified on the 17th,
when, at the head of his well-appointed columns,
assisted by that ol Gen. Morales de Redo, he
surprised, ns he thought, his victim on n coffee
estate. He fell, with many others, at the first
discharge from Lopez's command. He was bu
ried with great pomp nt Havana on the 30th.
Wo have no particulars of the battle from our
corrcspoudcntB, but the circumBlancen indicate
that Lopez must have achieved u complete vic-
toiy.
The Spanish Government 1ms cotne out with
an oiler of pardon to those of the patriots who
will quietly surrender. This looks like making
terms. It further proposes that those who will
deliver up Lopez shall ho rewarded and sent
home, free oj trouble cr expense.
The Spanish journals have lowered their tones
considerably. Diario de la Marina deems it ne-
cessury to enter into dcfenco of tile insufficiency
or the Royal soldiers in the operations of the
Vuelta Abujo, winch it ascribes to the bad road.
The same journul addresses an earnest appeal
to European Governments to interfere to prevent
American depredations upon their neighbors.
By way ol consolation, the Diario exults iu an
account of an affair between the Lieutennnt-
Governor of Bahia Honda, aided by two militia
men, and five onned patriots, in which three of
the latter wore killed, and only two of the at
tacking party were dangerously wounded.
It ib not said what became of the two piratoB
that were left, but the wounded militia men re
ceived us their reward and a poultice for thoir
grievous wounds, tho cross of St. Ferdinand.—
Wc hope they will worthily wenr it.
It is stated that Lopez had returned to the
Spanish commander some prisonecs captured by
him. The prisoners were received, but the flag
under which they were sent was not recognized,
and the prisoners surrendered wero shot.
The representation by the Spanish officers,
respecting the number of Lopcz : s command, are
constantly varying. Colonel Morales de Reda
writes, on the 17th, that his command was re.
duccd to 150 men, but the Colonel must have
wntten this before the battle in which bis com
mander, Elina, wus kilted; for it would not sound
well that his column, which must liavo been
1,500 or 2,000, should have bpen held in chcok
by body of “ragged pirates.”
1 he Diario do la Manua contains a list of
S romotions, for gallant conduct at Pozas, em-
ractng as many os Lopez’s whole command.—
Altogether, the accounts which we close for the
present, show tlmt Lopez has held his own from
the 12th to the 22d, ugainst nearly tho whole of
tho disposable force of the Spanish army.
(From tho True Delta.)
The Cincinnati’s News from Cuba.
Our private correspondence is meagre and
made up ofthe current rumors in Hnyana, which
our readers do not require to be told, after two
months’ experience, are utterly worthless. We
have rend such letters as were accessible to us
last evening, and waded through the verbose of
ficial accounts from the officers commanding the
troops sent in pursuit of Lopez, which are still
indeterminate in results.
From a dispatch of Col. D. Angelo Elizalde,
commanding the 4th column of the Army of
Operation, to the Captain General, we glean the
fallowing, which we give in briel, being unable
to publish inextenso this morning, their p olixi-
ty precluding it.
It would appear that Lopez, after leaving Po-
sns, took up his line of march for tho mountains
pursued by Col. Elizalde, and the troops under
his command. On the 21st ultimo, it seems
from the dispatch, Lopez was found nt a coffee
plantation, named De la Cnndclariu, where lie
was attacked, according to this account, bv the
Queen’s troops, at tho point of tlui bayonet.
The sentinel on the outpost was bayonetted,
and the troops under Lopez abandoned with
precipitation the buildings, lie being the first to
flee, shoeless and contless. Col. Elizalde then
proceeds to say, tlmt of the enemy thirty killed
have been counted on the field, while of his com
mand five wero kjllcd, and one captain, ono lieu
tenant, and seventeen privates were wounded.
In his lmstc to “abandon Candelaria, it ap-
pears train the dispatch, Lopez left his horses,
mutes, ■*)** boggnge behind ; among other nrti-
fcles particularized are forty-one muskets, and
some .nmmumtion. of which the peasants, who
had followed the troops from Bahia Honda, pos-
sessed themselves. Elizalde himself was wound
ed in the side.
Another dispatch of similar purport, from the
Lieutenant Governor of Bahia Honda, and of
sumo date, confirmatory ol tho above facts,we find
given. This official also speaks of the capture
or six ot the invaders liy tho puisnnos, and
their subsequent execution, among them an ad
jutant ol infantry, Georae Grachnng, (7) and a
lieutenant, Fereundmg (7) b '
Tho account represents Lopez in a disorderly
flight, pursued liy lhe peasants with “the utmost
enthusiasm ana vigor. * From a captured pris-
oner of Lopez’s party at Candaloria, ifae follow-
,D g is fiirnuhdd os his declaration: . ,
He stated hie name to be Jura Autooio Bo
ssier, a native ofGuisa, in the jurimliction or
Bayomu ; that he wna a resident of New Or
leans, mnrried to Douur. .Juana BuencUfo, n
native of Gernniny, without c hildren, 31 ysusn of
age, nnd by profession n dealer in tobacco.
That he was wounded in the right arm and
bund nt Lus I’osas, under the traitor " Lopez,"
nnd lmd followed tlmt General and his comrades
nntil that dnv, the 17th August, wlfon being
unable from Ills wounds lo keep up with them,
was abandoned, nnd fell into the (lands of the
peasants, his captors. That the number of
Creoles of Cuba who embarked in tho expedition
at New Orleans, wero thirtv-fivc, anil that «t
present (Aug. 17th) twenty remain. Four Span
iards from the Peninsula, and fifty Germana or
Hungarians, wqrc also on board llie Pampero,
Hungarians 1 were also on board the Pampero,
tho remainder were Americans or persons who
spoke English.
Being asked if any individuals had joined
Lopez sinco ho landed on the island, lie replied
that two young men, whom lie did not know,
had joined them.
He said his reasons for joining the expedition
wore owing to the representations of ono Desi-
deno Manicsa and Lopez; tho latter promising
him rewards in land. He stated that the country
people appeared very hostile.
Another dispatch doted at Cafetnl of Siberia,
August 22d, at night, represents tho slutuof the
weather as terrible, and tho country all but im
practicable in conscquenco ; notwithstanding
which, not n soldier fell behind or yielded from
BickncsH. Tho dispatch is written by tbe officer
in command of the 3d column of operation.—
He closes his communication in these words :
‘ *.be enemy may yet elude thoir destruction for
a tew days, but tho troops being disposed ns
your Excellency has ordered, nmf tho sympa
thies of tho inhabitants being rolinblo, n satisfac
tory account will be given before long.”
We have furnished as faithful nn ulistrnct ns
the time nt our disposal will allow, of tho Span
ish official publications. We nro in receipt of
nothing that favors the idea that Lopez wna join
ed by any of the natives of tho island, nor thnt
he is able to keep tho field and show a Btubbom
front to' bis pursuerB. Our rcndcra will, however,
judge for themselves, nnd probably conclude to
wait patiently, ns wo shall, tho arrival of the
Cherokee, with a week’s later and, we hope,
more definite intelligence. There is stupendous
lying somewhere.
Important Relntlve to tlio Telinnntepec
Treaty.
We learn from an undoubted source, that the
English government has boen solicited by tho
republic of Mexico to mediate in the Toliunn-
tejiec question, concerning tho late resolution
of tho senutc in relation to the Garay grant.—
The support ol thut government is naked, in
consequence of n note received from our Secre-
tnry of State, in which lie expresses his dissut-
isfuction ut tho annulment of the decree of the
5th .November, 1846, which nolo hns produced a
feeling of alarm und uneasiness with the Mcxi-
cun government. This nows corroborates in putt
thnt which was published in tho Arco Iris, of
Vera'Cruz, of the 16th of July last, in reference
to this note from our Secretary of State. Wo
must not forget that to the suggestion of Mr.
Doyle, British Minister ot Moxico, is duo tho dc-
cjnratinn of tho Senate against the decree of
General Solus, by which means they thought of
restraining the effect of the privilege's grunted to
Mr. Garay, for the opening and colonization of
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, or, more liroperlv,
to throw obstacles in the way of tho North A-
merican Company, by whom these privileges
have been acquired from British subjects, to
whom the Mexican government or Congress ne
ver opposed any objection or difficulty.—TV. Y.

Mexico—The Tehunutcpec Affair.
By the Robert Sneddon wo have Into dotes
from Mexico—from Vera Cruz to the 22nd, and
from the city of Mexico to tho 19th ult. The
niost important items of news we find in onr files
is the general terror which porvndes tho couu-
tcy, mi account of the u|iprehcndcu blockado by
the English fleet, for tho non-pnyinent of the
bonds held by English subjects.
In reference to Ihe Tehuantepec affair, we
leurn tlmt tho Mexicans ure coining to their
senses, und begin to view in u proper light, the
consequences of thoir violence and breach of
faith in the seizure of the property of the Com
pany. Tho bnrges which wero Bent down to
Minatitlan having been seized bv the Mexican
commandants, Captains Thompson nnd Whit
ney proceeded to Vera Cruz, where they were
met by the Governor of that department, with
the request to return, us orders would bo given
for tho release of these vcssols. Our consular
agent replied tlmt such order could bo sont to
the agent of the Company, Mr. Sidle, who would
receive hack the barges.—N. O. Delta.
The Public Uoveuuea.
Washington, Aug. 30.
Two months of the present fiscal year have
about expired, and an impression Ims gone
abroad, Irom New York and elsewhere, thut
there is and is to be, a lnrge reduction of impor
tations. The returns indicate a reduced amount
of imports, but not to tho extent supposed. In
the five largest porta there was a falling off, for
the comparative period of timo mentioned below,
of $982,458,—but in the remaining ports there
has not been a corresponding reduction. In
Charleston, S. C., last week, for oxample, the
duties received wero $65,OOP, and elsewhere, in
some of the important ports, they wero relative
ly large:

The worst feature of the large importations is,
the suritlas money unused or idle under such a
stute of things. For a long lime past the re
ceipts hove been vastly more than the payments,
and there are now ubout Fifteen Millions of Dol
lars which could be paid ou demand, in Gold,
and with more money accruing, in tho mean
time, then would meet the expensos of Govern
ment.—N. Y. Express.
Another Free Soil State.
It appears f um the following in the Adison
(Mich.) Expositor of the 26th ult., thut the
people of the “ Upper Peninsula” are demand
ing a separate government:
“ North Michigan—A New State Since
our visit to the Upper Peninsula, we are con
vinced that tbore is not a little reason in the idea
of .tbe organization of tho Lake Superior coun-
- try, into a stute by itself. In the first place,
there is no geographical connection between the
two peninsulas—separated not only by water,
but, in the winter, by hundreds of miles of dreary
Wilderness, they have no communication with us
except by travelling on snow shoes through the
trackless forest, hundreds of miles, und hor
Representatives must come some three months
before the opening of the session, or stay ut
home. Again, they have not ono single feeling
in common with us “below,” they are mostly
Irom other States, and core not half as much for
a connection with us us they would to be con
nected with Pennsylvania—they feel thnt wo
care as little for them, nnd under these circuit)-
stances we nre inclined to think, if it can ho
done, they must eventually become a State by
themselves. They have withiu themselves,
every thing requisite for an important State.
Her mineral wealth ia but just beginning to de
velop itself—her fisheries are in thoir infancy,
und her agricultural advantages hnvc been vastly
underrated—all these, with Tier commercial nef-
vnntagCB’ will make, in time, nn important Stato
of North Michigan. What they now most want
is u ship canal across the portage nt St. Mary’s.
This, Congress ought to attend to the next
•easion, and we trust they will, nnd when a
Whig administration shall have secured the ca
nal, we trust our good friends “above" will re
member tho thing in the abstract, under tbb
head of Internul' improvements, does and ever
has met the decided and determined hostility of
the Democratic party. If you wish a canal
. the to** 8 . °easo to oppose your friend^
the Whigs, who arc iu 4avor of such improve-
incnts. But any way, success lo the future
