Item* from the Secretaries’ Report*.
These intereiting Report* are too long for us
to insert them entire, and can only give a few
extracts from them as follows :
War Department. —The aggregate strength
of the Army, as established by law, is 12,927
officers and rtteii. It is estimated, however,tlia*
the number actually in service and fit for duty,
usually falls short of the legal organization on an
average of from 30 to 40 per cent.
All the means at the disposal of the Depart,
ment have been employed for the protection of
Texas and New Mexico against the Indians in
their vicinity, the force being however insuffi
cient for the protection of the frontier.
The regiment of mounted riflomen reached
Oregon in safety, after establishing a line of
military stations along the route.
Tliesurveyof the Delta of the Mississippi,
with a view to the deepening of the channel at
it* mouth, has been confined to Major Long and
Capt. Humphreys, of the Topographical corps.
The officer in command in New Mexico ha*
teen instructed to abstain from all further inter
ference in the civil and political affairs of that
country.
A retired list of officers is recommended, also
the establishment of an asylum for disabled and
•destitute soldiers.
The .Vary. —The two brigantines composing
‘the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, at
the date of their last report to the Department,
•had advanced to the 75th degree of North lati_
'tilde, and about the 60lh degree of west longitude

geons, 37 passed assistant surgeons, 43 assistant
surgeons, 64 pursers, 24 chaplains, 12 professors
of mathematics, II masters in the line of promo
tion, and 464 passed and other midshipmen ; to
which is to he added, besides other warrant offi'
cers, according to the annual appropriation for
pay and subsistence, 7.500 petty officers,seamen,
ordinary seamen, landsmen and boys.
The Secretary proposes that merit instead of
seniority be the criterion ofall future promotions
—and that the office of Commodore lie recogniz
ed by law, w ith at least two officers of the rank
of rear admiral.
The sum total of appropriations required for
all objects under the supervision of the Depart
ment is $8,111,600. Os this sum, the amount
required for the naval service and maritime corps
for the year is $5,900,621.
The expeiiditu es during the year ending June
30, 1850, were $7,891,801 94, us which sum the
■ noun t expended tor the support of the navy and
marine corps was $5,523,725 83
Post Office Department. —The increase of this
service for the fiscal year,over the year preceding
was about 9 4-10 per cent., and the increase in
the total cost was about 12 7-10 per cent. The
w lode number of post offices in tlieU n ited States
ai the end of the last fiscal year was 18,417. —
The gross revenue for the Department for the
year ending June 30, 1850, was $5,552,971 48 .
the expenditures were 5,212,953 43 ; leaving,
a* the excess of the gross revenue over the ex
penditures, the sum of $340,018 05. The nett
balance to the credit of the Department, at ihe
date last mentioned, was $ 1,132,045 82. The
estimated revenues for the cuarent year are $6,-
019,809 90; leaving at! excess of revenue of
$146,806 38, which is to he considered, op
course, only as a reasonable approximation to
the actual result.
Sixeen steamships are now in aetual service
in conveying the mails to foreign countries and
to our possessions on the Pacific. Four more
are to be added under existing contracts.
The Postmaster General recommends that the
inland letter postage be fixed at 3 cents the single
letter when prepaid,and 5 cents wlien not pre
naid ; the prepaid rate to be reduced to 2 cent,
the single letter whenever it shall be ascertained
th it the revenues of the Department, after the
reductions now recommended, shall have ex
ceeded its expenditures by more than five per
cent, for two consecutive fiscal years; twenty
con'* the single letter to be charged on all cor
respondence to and from the Pacifie coast, South
America, the Eastern Continent ane its islands,
and points beyond either ; and ten cents the
■ingle letter on all other sea going letters, (where
ihe postage has not been adjusted by treaty,)
without the superaddition of inland postage in
any case. It is recommended that the uniform
inland postage on newspapers, sent to subscriber*
from the office of publication be fixed at one
cent each, on pamphlets, periodicals, and all
other printed matter, (except newspapers,) two
cents for the weight of two ounces or less, and
one cent for every additional ounce or fraction
of an ounce; for the sea going charges on all
•printed matter, twice the inland rate where the
letter postage between the same points is 10 els,
.and four times the inland rate wliete the letter
postage is twenty cents.
A Reverse or Foivrusr,. —Congress, at its
late session, created anew office in the Attor
ney General's bureau—that of “Copying Clerk,',
•which has been given by Mr. Crittenden to Ex
Chancellor George M Bibb, formerly a U. S.
Senator from Kentucky, and for a short lime
Secretary of the Treasury tinder President Tyler,
llow strange are the vicissitudes of life and
the vascillations of fortune ! Mr. Crittenden
was a law student in the office of Judge Bibb, at
• time when the latter had acquired high pro
fessional and political distinction. Judge Bibb
now, having served with eminent credit in ma- 1
ny nftlie highest offices of the State and Nation,
at an age, if wc are not mistaken, above four,
■core, finds himself in the humble office of Clerk
to his former pupil.
REroßeanos.—The N. O. Crescent, in
•peaking of ■ recent Sabbath in that city, save
that “the different plarea of worship were all
thronged, and thousand* listened, with deep
solicitude, to the exposition of the Scripture.—
We are happy to mark the changes which arc
taking place from year to year in New Orleans,
in regard to the observance of the Sabbath. It
is not long since Sunday was looked upon aa the
best day in the week in the different retail stores*
and it was considered as much of a business day
as any other. ’Tis not so now. But few even
of the small stores now keep open on the Sab.
bath, and the custom is looked upon with so
much disfavor, that it will soon be abolished.—
Public opinion is becoming strongly set against
the open violations of the Sabbath.”
U. S. Exports and Imports. —The following
statement exhibits the aggregate of Imports and
exports of the United States for the year ending
on the 30th of June last:
Total imports, $187,217,574; (including ape
cie, $4,628,792 ) Exports. —Domestic, $136,-
946,912 ; (including specie, 2,046,679;) Forergn,
$14,951,808; (including specie, $5,476,315;)
total exports, exclusive of specie, $144,115,169;
imports of specie and bullion, $13,710,048; of
which California furnished $9,081,256; and
foreign countries $4,628,792.
Cold Water vs. Lightning. — Mr Kingston
of Baby lon, 111., was struck by lightning recent,
ly, and was left dead to all external appearan
ces ; but his wife, a shrewd woman, took a
bucket of cold water and poured it on his breas’,
when he revived, and ia doing well. Let no
one forget the efficiency of water in cases like
this.
Divide the Profits.— Mr. Young, whose
good fortune in being named the heir of a very
wealthy gentleman in England, (several years
ago assisted by him in New Haven,) was recent
ly announerd, has found, it seems, a rival in
the person of a Dr. Ulliorn, who was a partne r
•a ith Mr. Young in the book trade at New Ha
ven, at the time the services were rendered Col.
Daniels, the testator. Both Mr. Young and Dr
Ulliorn claim to have been kind to the sick
stranger, and both claim the two millions be
queathed to “the New Haven Bookseller." Let
them divide the profits.
O* The Chamber ofCommerce at Manches
ter, England, has taken up the promotion of the
growth of Cotton in India, with much earnest
ness. The British Government could not be
induced last session of Parliament to respond to
the wishes of the Chamber, and appoint a com
missioner to proceed to India to inquire into the
obs’aeles which prevented an increased growth
of cotton in that country. The chamber now
entertains the idea of sending a private commis.
sion to India.
ITT* The census of the city of Cincinnati has
been completed. The entire population is now
116,978. In 1840 it was 46,382, showing an in
crease of 64,657 in the bis en years. This is
certainly a very extraordinary increase, and one
which has but few parallels in the Union. The
Chronicle says tiiat the population of Cincinna
ti exceeds that of St. Louis by 36,000 and falls
but 25,000 below that of New Orleans.
O’ A late Paris letter says . —“The famous
Artesian WeU, commenced in 1832 at Kissen.
gen, a city of Rhenish Bavaria, is just finished
This immense work, of which the workmen be
gan to despair, has given results which have
never been seen before Kissengen is situated
in a saline valley at nearly 300 metres above
the level of the Baltic sea. In the month of
June, 1849, after 17 years of hard labor, they
had succeeded in reaching a depth of 560 me
tres, (a metre is about 39 inches,) before getting
to this it was necessary to cut through several
beds of salt separated by masses of granite. —
They then arrived at a first bed of carbon acid
gas, followed by new masses of granite, and fi.
nally the lltli of this month, a violent r.nncus
sion knocked away, without injuring anybody,
the scaffolding which masked the orifice of the
well, and then was immediately pre-ented the
eurious spectacle of a column of water 12 cen
titnetres in diameter, which rose with prodi
gious force to the height of 30 metres, spreading
them on all sides like the branches of a magnifi
cent paint tree, and thus forming the most ex
traordinary jet d'eau imaginable. The water,
clear as crystal, comes from a soil of a tempera
ture of sixty-six degrees Fahrenheit and gives a
volume of twelve cubic metres a minute. It is
forced by an atmosphere subterranean of carlo*,
nic gas acting with the force of fifty ordinary at.
mospheres.
Goi.d Mine in Lowndes Countv, Ga.—A
letter to the Florida Republican says : “I had
the pleasure a few days since, of seeing a speci
men of gold taken from the bed of the Alaporha
river, near Carter's Ferry, Lowndes county, Ga-
The gold was discovered by some persons who
were hunting in that vicinity.”
Very True.—The London Times, in speak"
ing of the Lind mania in this country, aays ;
“It is humiliating to a nation, which boasts that
it leads the van of human improvement, to be
so incapable of appreciating the relative dignity
and merit of different talents and
as to bow down in prostrate adoration at the
feet of a woman, who, after all, is merely a first
rate vocalist ”
More Balloon Foolery in Paris.— M. Poit
evin, accompanied by M. Merle, made an as.
cent from the Champ de Mar* in his immense
balloon, to which was attached a bullock, bear
ing on ita back Madame Poitevin, crowned
with roses, and clad in a white dresi, over
which was thrown a purple velvet cloak em
broidered with gold. The balloon passed over
the Invalids, an immense crowd witnessing its
progress. The lunatics effected the descent of
their balloon at a short distance from the fort of
Aubevilliers. The garrison of the fort prompt
ly rendered them every assistance. The bull
on which Madame Poitevin was seated when
the balloon left the earth, wasplaeed in a stable,
where it commenced eating with good appetite.

New York, 25th November, 1850.
Avery respectable meeting in numbers, and
comprising a very large proportion ofmenop
intelligecnn and experience in political and com
mercial affairs, assembled in the Irving House
last evening, at 8 o’clock.
The meeting being called to order, on mo
tion,
Mr. N M. Beckwith was called to the Chair,
and
Mr, Samuel Bcman was appointed Secretary
The Chairman read the call of the meeting
and briefly slated the object to the organization
of a free trade league, for the purpose of advoca
ting the doctrine of free trade, and the col leclion
of the revenues for the support of the Govern
ment by direct taxation.
Mr. James Lee briefly recapitulated the ad
vantages of free trade and direct taxation over
the revenue system of duties upon imports. D
was a great movement, and this might be con'
sidered a small beginning for an object of such
magnitude. But the anti-corn law league began
with a meeting of five men in the city of Man
chester, who subscribed to the organization two
shillings apiece ; and in two or three years it be
came the policy of the British government.—
The people, to be sure, were with the move,
ment ; but why may we anticipate, also, the
co-operation of the people in a similar move
ment in the United States? It was sufficiently
evident that the success of the free trade policv
in England had given an impulse to the policy
in this country, which promised its complete
triumph sooner or later. He was ready to aid
in this proposed movement to the full extent of
the doctrine of free trade.
Mr. Beman read a letter from the Hon. Ro
bert J. Walker, regretting that buisness at
Washington called him to that city, and which
would necessarily prevent his attendance at this
meeting. He was, however, completely identi.
fied with the objects of the meeting lor the abo
lition the present system of collectin the reve
nues from imports, and he was in favor of free
irade, and of meeting the expenses of the gov
ernment by direct taxation. His reports while
Secretary of the Treasury, indicated these
views.
After some conversation ns to the proper initi"
atory steps to be taken at this meeting,in the or
ganization of the league, the following resolution
was proposed :
Rcsolred, That it is expedient to organize
an association, for the purpose of advocating free
t rade and direct taxation.
The resolution, and various amendments,
were discussed by Messrs. Pell, Lee, Butter,
worth, McKeon, Fuller, Hawks, and others,
when the following substitute, by Mr. Wright
Hawks, was proposed and adopted by the meet
ing
Resolved, That it is expedient to organize a
free Irade league, for the purpose of advocating
the abolition of indirect taxation and the estab
lishment of free trade and of direct taxation for
the support of tiie General Goveruuieiii.
On motion, a committee of five was ordered
to be appointed by the chair, to draft a constitu
tion and by laws for the league, to be reported
ai the next meeting
The Chair appointid Messrs. James Lee, Jno.
McKeon, H. Fuller, W. C. Bryant and Mr
Butterworth, the said committee.
On motion of Mr. Lee, another commute of
hve was ordered to he appointed by ihe Chair,
to draft a declaration of the principles and objects
of the league for publication.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Robert J. Wal
ker, James Lee, T. P Kettle, A Ifred Pell, and
Wright Hawks said committee.
And, by resolution, the chairman and secreta
ry of the meeting were added to both the afore
said committees
On motion of Mr. Freeman Hunt, the com
mittee on the consli ution were empowered to
designate the time and place of the next meeting
And the meeting adjourned
As understood, the objects of this association
are—to organize a free trade party in the United
States, irrespective of existing political parties,
beginning in New York, and to be followed up
by extending similar societies throughout the
Union, for the purpose of advocating the policy
of abolishing ’he system of revenues from import*
for the support of the Government, and of sub
stituting direct taxation upon the people, upon
an equitable basis, accorting to the taxable pro
perty of the citizen. This movement may be
the beginning of a great and powerful element
in the politiea of the country. It will be wel 1
to watch it* progress from this initial meeting
Pork. —The Knoxville Register of the 28th
ult. says : —“Such has been the amount of pork
offered for sale in our market, much of which
has been sold at sl, that we will not be sur
prised if, before the season closes, the price rs.
codes to $3 50 per hundred pounds. We have
already heard of one or two sales at $3 75.”
Elopement —Miss Jane Tracy, aged 18, Op
Providence, R. 1., eloped from that place recent,
ly with James Hall, aged 43, who has a wife
and family in Buffalo. They were arrested the
same night in New York, in consequence of a
telegraphic despatch from the lady's father, and
were escorted back to Providence by the first
conveyance.
Vailuj* —Thi New Capital or Calipor
*•l* —The Rothschilds are eclipsed by a nativs
Californian. M. U. Vallejo, a descendant of
the old Spanish settlers of California, last win
ter submitted a proposition to the Legislature of
that Slate to the following effect : He haa laid
out a city on a tract of land on the Bay of San
Francisco, lying some twenty-five miles above
the city of that name, and proposes to the State
ifthey will establish at Vallejo tha sert of gov
ernment permarently, to give to the common
wealth 156 acres of land divided into the nece*.
sary lots and grounds for the government build,
ings, university, charitable institution, Ac.—
And furthermore, he proposes to expend, in the
erection of some twenty-five different public
buildings, including $123,000 for a State house,
an aggregate of $370,000, to be paid over with
in two years- The State Legislature turned
this proposition over to the people for their de.
cision ; and, aa we are informed, says the New
York Herald, they have accepted in their late
election, by a large majority. We understand
further, that Gen. Thomas J. Green, of Cali
fornia, nnd lion. Robert J. Walker, late Secre
tary of the Treasury, are now at the Irving
House in this city, associated with Vallejo in
this enterprise, making here the necessary ar
rangements for entering promptly into a fulfil
ment of the contract. The arrangement is all
clear gain to the State ; but with the prospect
ofmaking Vallejo the great commercial centra
of California, it is not likely to prove a losing
business to the other side. It is only in Cali,
fornia such things can be done.
Causesof Failure in Business. —An excel
lent writer in Hunt's Magazine, enumerates the
following causes offailure among business men:
1. The lending one is an ambition to be rich—
by grasping too much, it defeats itself. 2. Ano.
liter cause, is aversion to Inbor. 3. The third
cause is an impatient desire to enjoy the luxu
ries of life before the right to them has been ac>
quired in any way. Another cause arises from
the want of some deeper principle for the dis
tinguishing between right and wrong, than ref
erence merely to what is established as Itonnra.
hie in the society in which one happens to live
(LpThe Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, under date of 7th ins’., says:
“The annual Treasury report is not yet com
pleted. The annual statement of Commerce
and Navigation, will be out by the Ist of January,
under the newact. It will exhibitn most flatter
ing picture of commercial prospects of the coun
ty. The exports of domestic produce nnd man
ufactures, amounted to $136,000,000, for Ihe
year ending 30th June last. Os this amnunt |
Cotton furnished more than one half—over $71,-
000,000-
The tonnage of the United States now nearly
equals that of Great Britain, being 3,586,000
tons.
The report of the Quarter Master General-
Gen- Jr.sur, shews that we bought a trouble
some bargain by engaging, in our treaty with
Mexico, to restrain the Indiana in our acquired
territory, from hostile incursions upon Mexico-
They would let us alone, if we would suffer
them to plunder the Mexicans, They are now
ravaging the frontiers of Texas, and New Mexi
co is almost at their mercy. They nre warlike,
and are well armed and vtell mounted. As the
buffalo have become scarce, they must live by
war and plunder, or must starve, and they pre
fer the former. They would make treaties with
ÜB , and keep their faith as long as we supplied
them provisions. But when want presses, they
wili mount and fight. They are a hard case.—
Gen. Jksuf s lead to the conclusion, that we
must meet them upon the latter alternative.—
If so, we may expect a war, more protraclive
and vastly more expensive than even the Flor
ida war.
The northern members of Congress seem de
termined to suppress all anti-slavery proposi
tions at this session.
Seward lias called on the President, and his
Albany Organ proclaimd an armistice fur the
present.
Elections. — We learn from the Southern
Press that Hon. James M. Mason, was re-elect,

gislature of Virginia, by a vote of 112 to 42
This is an unconditional and unequivocal ap
proval of that gentleman's position.

convenience of access hy Railroad, the refined
and intellectual soeiety, nnd pure atmosphere,
have all most admirably conspired to render the

Tho Proprietor deems it needless to say any
thing relative to the curative powers of either

people in this country have attained n knowledge
of their great value ir. removing disease. He
flatters himself that he is able w ith pure Water
and Electricity, in remove any character or des
cription of disease that could, under other treat
ment or circumstances, prtssihly he removed—
together with a numerous hurt, that all other
remedies must necessarily fail to remove.
The expenses per day, for a Patient at his
Establishment, will be for Board, use of Electric
Shocks and Baths, with Water Hut'll*, Medical
advice and attention, with ordinary nffenfioii of
