we do not err in attributing the authorship to
John G. Saxe, the witty editor of that paper:
My eyes! how I love you,
You sweet little dove you—
There’s no one above you.
Most beautiful Kitty;
So glossy your hair is—
Like a sylph’s or a fairy’s,
And your neck I declare is,
Exquisitely pretty!
Quite Grecian your nose is,
And your cheeks are like ro£es —
So delicious— o, M oses!
Surpassingly sweet!
Not the beauty of tulips,
Nor the taste of mint juleps,
Can compare with your two lips!
Most beautiful Kate!
Not the black eye of Juno,
Nor Minerva’s of hlue, no,
Nor Venus’s, you know,
Can equal your own '
Oh, how mv heart pranoes
And frolics and dances,
When its radiant glances.
Upon mo are thrown '
And now, dearest Kitty,
It’s not very pretty —
Indeed, it’s a pitty,
To keep me in sorrow!
So, if you'll but chime in,
W.'ll have done with our rhyming,—
Swap Cupid for Hymen,
And be imi'-ned to morrow.

Cuba: Its Commercial and Military Importance to
the United States.
Mr J. S. Thrasher, of this city, offered certain
resolutions in the Memphis Convention, with a
view of directing attention to the commercial
importance of the Island of Cuba. A sensitive
prehension that the subject might be made to
have a party tendency, and become a bone of
angry dissension, prevented the consideration of
Mr. Thrashers resolutions. He was therefore
precluded from laying his views before that
body. In justification and explanation of the
resolutions presented by him, Mr Thrasher has
written the following letter to Gen. Quitman,
which commends itself to the earnest attention
of the citizens of this Union. It presents, in a
startling light, facts which are not generally
known or appreciated, but which are of the
greatest importance to the destinies of this Re
public. Let them be carefully considered and
stored away in the memories of our readers.
Letter from J. S. Thrasher , Esq.
New Orleans, June 20, 1853,
Gen. John A. Quitman :
Dear Sir—l had the honor ot presenting, at
the late Memphis Convention, a series of reso
lutions with the design of awakening public
attention in the South and South-west to the
important position and influence which the Is
land of Cuba holds, and will ever continue to
hold, as regards their commerce. Matters, deem
ed to be of more importance, precluded the con
sideration of these resolutions, and they were
laid on the table. In presenting to your con
sideration the following remarks on the subject.
I am confident no apology is needed. That
distinguished ability which you have shown in
the military operations of our armies, will ap
preciate the true value of the question in its
military point of view : while the pure love of
country, which has ever marked your career,
will preclude your taking any other than a truly
patriotic interest in it.
The security and defence of commerce has
ever been a matter of solicitude with commercial
nations. Without going into history to demon
strate this, we need only look to the policy that
has so long marked the career of England.
With a wise foresight, her statesmen have taken
possession of many apparently isolated spots
upon the face of the earth, until they have form
ed a complete chain of fortresses, for the protec
tion of her world-wide commerce. Santa Hele
na and the Cape of Good Hope guard one route
to the Indies, while the Falkland islands watch
Cape Ho:n. Gibraltar, Malta and the lonian
islands completely enchain the Mediterranean,
and Aden, at the Straits of Babel-Mandel, com
mands the entrance to the Red Sea, and that
Toute to her possessions in the East. Her estab
lishments in Australia rule the South Pacific,
while Puget’s sound and the inlets North of it,
give security to her commerce in the adjacent
waters. Thus has she protection and refuge in
every ocean, and a wise care seeks to increase
the number of her commercial fortresses and the
strength of their position.
While such has been the course of our great
commercial rival, a very different one has mark
ed our policy. Our commerce abroad has beea
left to look after itself, and any attempt to in
culcate a prudential foresight in regard to our
own coast, has been termed, in a spirit of oppro
brium, “ filibustering.” Four States, —Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, with a
large portion of Florida. —lie immediately upon
the Gulf of Mexico, and have no other outlets
for their products. According to the returns of
the seventh census, these States produced in the
year 1850. in round numbers, six hundred mil
lion pounds of cotton, two hundred and fifty
million bushels Indian corn, and incalculable
amounts of other agricultural products, ali of
which found their only markets for sale and sup
ply on the Gulf of Mexico.
\ Besides these five States, which be immedi
ately upon the shore of that vast inland sea,
there are nine others lying upon the waters that
pour into it. These are lowa, Missouri and
Arkansas, west of the “ Father of Waters,” and
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky
and Tennessee, east of it; arid a large portion of
tbeir countless produces follow the roiling wa
ters to the Gulf. The grain and cotton of Ar
kansas, the corn and minerals of Missouri and
lowa, the grain and meats of Wisconsin, Indi
ana, Illinois and Ohio, the tobacco and hemp of
Kentucky and Tennessee, all find their most
accessible and best market upon the shore of the
Gulf of Mexico, and pour their agricultural
wealth into the lap of New r Orleans, from whom
they receive in return the varied products of
every clime, to supply their necessities or to
contribute to their comfort and luxury.
The true value of this mighty commerce,
which centres thus upon the American
ranean, is beyond the power of enumeration. It
is not to be counted by the number of bales, and
boxes, and barrels which it show’s. Its true es
timate is to be found in the labor of millions of
American hands, upon which it confers a value
—in the thousands upon thousands of American
homes which it adorns with every luxury and
grace, and the millions of American hearts to
which it brings happiness and content.
Yet this mighty trade is but the germ of future
development. The surface of the Great Valley
of the West is barely scratched, —not tilled by
the plow. The fires of industry blaze only here
and there at long distances; while, in many por
tions of the country, the cleared spaces are still
surrounded by vast tracts of forest, or of untilled
lands When the advancing tide of population
shall have in some degree filled the space eastot
the Mississippi river, and extended itself over
the vast tracts which lie west of that great
stream, the mass of wealth that shall seek a
market upon the shores of the Gulf of Mexico
will be vastly increased. The States east of the
great river may seek, by means of railway, a
partial outlet upon the Atlantic shore ; but all
beyond its western bank must follow the rolling
tide down to its union with the ocean.
Great as is the stream of wealth thus pouring
into the Gulf ot Mexico, it is still further in
creased by tributaries of unparalleled magnifi
cence. The mines of Mexico keep up a silent
but continued oufpoutingot the precious metals,
which will be vastly increased when order shall
have been restored in that distracted country.
During the past year it is estimated that one
hundred thousand passengers have gone to Cali
fornia and an equal number returned, crossing
the Isthmus routes of Nicaragua and Panama,
and seventy millions of treasure have been
brought over the same line of travel. The Isth
mus of Tehuantepec, which will now soon be
opened, will pour all this great trade and travel
into the Gulf of Mexico. At the present time
a large share of it passes through the southern
portion of that Gulf. The peculiar character of
the current* and prevailing winds in the Carrib-
bean Sea, leave no exit for sailing vessels but
through the Straight between Cuba and Cape
Catoche and out through the Gulf Stream.
When the Panama Railroad shall be finished,
the trade of this South Pacific Ocean will be
diverted through this channel.
I have thus endeavored in a cursory manner,
to sketch the immense traffic that concentrates
within the Gulf of Mexico. History has taught
us to exclaim with wonder at the rich trade of
the East, and the mighty cities which it built
up. The trade of the West is far more rich and
has built, within half a century, more and migh
tier cities, than was built by the trade of the
East in twenty centuries. The magnificent re
mains of Tyre and Sidon, of Alexandria and Ven
ice, what are they when compared with the
rich cities that republican labor has built in the
Western World ? They were the fruits of cen
turies—these of a few single years of republican
toil and trade.
To all this accumulation of the commerce of
our Southern and Western States, there is but
one outlet, and that is through the narrow strait
between Cuba and Florida It must pass with
in a few miles of Havana. Baron Humboldt, in
a work on Cuba, written thirty years since, uses
the following remarkable language :
“ The political importance of the Island of
Cuba is not comprised solely in its superficial
extent, although this is double that of Hayti;
neither in its maritime resources, and the nature
of its population, composed three-fifths of free
men ; but it is even more important through the
advantages presented by the geographical posi
tion of Havana The northern part of the sea
of the Antilles, known under the name of the
Gulf of Mexico, forms a circular inlet of more
than one hundred and fifty leagues diameter —as
it were a Mediterranean with two entrances, the
coasts of which, from Cape Florida to Cape
Catoche, in Yucatan, appertain exclusively, at
the present time, to the Confederations of Mex
ico and of North America. The Island of Cuba,
or, more properly speaking, its coast, from Capp
San Antonio to the Bay of Matanzas. re-ting on
the entrances of the old channel, closes lhe Gulf
of Mexico on the south east, leaving to that ocean
current, known as the Gulf Stream, no other
opening than on the south, a strait between Cape
San Antonio and Cape Catoche, and on the
north, the Bahama Channel, between Bahia
Honda and the reels of Florida.
“ Near the northern passages, exactly where,
so to express it, a multitude of highways, that
serve for the commerce of nations, cross each
other, is set the beautiful city of Havana, strong
by nature, but yet still more strongly fortified by
art. The fleets irom that port, built, in part, of
the cedar and mahogany of Cuba, can defend
the entrance to the Mexican Mediterranean,
and menace the opposite shores, as those from
Cadiz can command the ocean near the columns
of Hercules. The Gulf of Mexico, the ‘ Old
Channel,’and that of Bahama, unite with each
other under the meridian of Havana. The op
posing currents and the violent agitations of the
atmosphere, particularly at the opening of win
ter, give to this po’nt, on the extreme limits of
the Equinoxial Zone, a peculiar character.”
Recognizing the very great importance of this
passage, our Government is now fortifying, at a
vast expense, the barren rocks of the Tortugas.
Its closure, at any time, would produce incalcu
lable damage to all the commercial and agricul
tural interests ol the South and West, and disturb
the commerce ctf the world. The possession of
the island of Cuba by us, would secure us, for
ever, against such a calamity,—would guarantee
the security of our Southern coast, —would con
fer upon us the dominion of those waters, —and,
I might even say, in the words of Napoleon re
garding Constantinople, “ the sovereignty of the
world.”
Several circumstances combine at this mo
ment to drawn our attention to the present sit
uation and probable future of the island that
thus closes in the Gulf of Mexico and commands
its outlet. Any change in her political condition
must be of great importance to us. How soon
such a change may occur, is the only point to
be solved. The growing discontent among the
inhabitants will produce, sooner or later, its na
tural revolutionary fruits, if other circumstances
do not torestall it; and the strength of the mo
ther country is not sufficient to suffocate the
flames of rebellion if they are once lighted. The
army and navy that now hold the island in an
involuntary vassalage, are supported entirely by
revenues raised in Cuba, and it barely suffices
for the exigencies of peace. Any commotion
within her borders, however insignificant, would,
in a great degree, dry up the sources of her pres
ent revenues, and the Spanish power there
would fall to pieces of its own weight.
That such civil commotion must, sooner or
later, take place, is evident to all who are in
any way conversant with Cuba, and with the
growing spirit of discontent among the Cubans.
It is only a question of time.
Our great commercial rival, England, has
long endeavored to extend her influence over
Cuba, and a very slight recurrence to the pages
of his history will demonstrate that a spirit of
intense selfishness, rather than of true philan
thropy, has been her motive. The idea that she
holds towards us any other feeling than one of
desire to prevent, by all means the increase ol
our physical power, and our commercial supre
macy, will vanish when we remember her in
trigues during the movement which resulted in
the annexation of Texas.
It is now many years since she obtained from
Spain the establishment in Havana of a mixed
Court or Justice, composed of ore Spanish and
two English Commissioners, for the purpose of
trying captured slave ships. For a long time
she had been laboring at the Court of Spain to
have the powers of these commissioners extend
ed, so that they may go on the plantations arid
inquire into the.right by which every negro is
held in servitude. It is a well known fact that
large numbers of negroes have been impor
ted from Africa, with the open connivance of
the Spanish authorities in Cuba, since the stip
ulated extinction of the slave trade in 18il ; and
the concession of this power of inquiry to the
English Commissioners would cause a commo
tion among the laborers, now held to involunta
ry servitude, that would result in the decay ot
industry ar.d value, the extinction ot commerce,
and the overthrow ot the whites by a savage,
intractable and indolent race—unless, indeed,
they adopted that course whichdispair would in
dicate. Yet England pursues her policy with
characteristic tenacity.
Any effort on the part of the Cubans to es
tablish their independence, would naturally at
tractthe sympathies and even the practical as
sistance of the more enthusiastic part of our
population. Any partial success of European
intrigues to establish another free negro island
in our vicinity, and so near our shores, would
render necessary the physicial intervention of
our Government. True wisdom should, there
fore, urge us to solve this intricate problem be
fore it becomes so entangled with other ques
tions as to endanger greater and more material
interests. It will not do for us to wait the de- j
velopment of “ manifest destiny.” There is no
destiny except as it is yrorked out by men.
Others are up and doing.
Such are a few of the reasons which led me to
present this subject to the Convention at Mem
phis, and which induce me to deem the acquisi
tion of the Island ot Cuba important to the prop
er protection of our constantly increasing com
merce, and to the security of our Southern wa
ters. I would uge its consideration upon the
people and Government of our country as a
question of national necessity, and of national
supremacy.
I have the honor to be, respectfully,
Your very obedient servant,
J. S. Thrasher.

Fifteen Days Later from Mexico Arrival of the
Steamship Texas.
The U. S. Mail steamship Texas, Capt. Place,
arrived yesterday afternoon from Vera Cruz,
which port she left on the Bth inst. She brings
$llB,lOO in specie.
We have received by the Texas full files of our
Mexican exchanges to the 4th inst. from the city
of Mexico and the Bth from Vera Cruz, from
which we translate the following items:
Gen. Santa Anna had taken up his residence
at the village of Tacubaya, where he had de
clared his intention of passing the summer. A
telegraph was to be put up immediately from
that place to the capital.
she Mesilla affair is far from being settled,
Senor Salazar, the Mexican Boundary Commis
sioner, had made a report on the question to the
Government, which the Mexican papers sustain,
and proves the undeniable right of Mexico to
the territory in dispute, and which takes the
ground that the agreement of the boundary com
missioners has the same force that the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo has. Senor Salazar is so
convinced of the justice of the claims of Mexico
that he protests against the Government ceding
to the demand of Gov. Lane, and declares that if
it does he will resign rather than subscribe to an
arrangement so humiliating and unjust to Mex
ico. The Mexican press complains of the dis
cordance between the tone of the Washington
Union, as the organ of the American Govern
ment. and the assurances of Judge Conkling that
Gov. Lane’s coiuse would not be sustained.
The Eco del Comercio of Yera Cruz, a most
decided Santa Anna paper, says :
“ The valley of Mesilla has no importance
whatever; its assumed advantages for a railroad
route to the Pacific have been proved false, it
has no mineral, nor agricultural, nor industrial
value. The determination, therefore, to usurp
it is sustained for the purpose of creating differ
ences, of provoking strife and involving us in a
new war.
“The Mood boils in our veifis at this flagrant
and criminal transgression of the laws of society.
If we are destined by providence to be the vic
tim of American ambition, let our destiny be
fulfilled, for it is a thousand times better to per
ish in unequal combat than to bear such insults.”
Don Ratael, late editor of the Universal has
been appointed Consul at New Orleans for the
Mexican Republic, with $1,500 salary.
The Siglo Diezry News says the publication
of the new tariff had caused very little alteration
in the prices of foreign goods, but that the new
law of Alcabala had greatly increased the prices
of those articles upon which it bore.
In consequence of the intercession of the gene
rals, chiefs and of the garrison, the Pres
ident has granted an amnesty to the officers
who surrendered voluntarily to the invading
army in 1846, ’47. and ’4B, but orders that they
shall all serve in the army on the northern fron
tiers.
The steamer Santa Anna had made her first
trip on the lakes as far as Mexicalcingo.
The law of 1824, prohibiting any innovation
in the revenues of the clergy, has been re-estab
lished.
A series of regulations for the preservation of
the road from Perote to Yera Cruz has been
issued.
In Yera Cruz the sale of fruit has been pro
hibited, in consequence of the prevalence of yel
low fever and cholera. It was said that the
cholera had broken out in Jalapa, but the rumor
was subsequently denied. Dysentery was very
prevalent there.
The Isthmus of Tehuantepec has been creat
ed a territory, and Minatitlan declared its capital.
In the official decree the boundaries are laid
down in accordance with the map of Major
Barnard’s survey as being the best of that coun
ty- m
The civil war in Riiapas still continues. The
Guatemala journals state that in consequence
thereof, more than 3,000 persons, comprising the
entire population of several towns, had crossed
the boundary into that county, and that they
were in the greatest want and misery.
Notwithstanding that the time for the con
scription was so near, forced levies still contin
ued. One of the papers state that several of the
parties lately brought into the capital comprised
many who were so weak and sickly that they
were refused admission to the army, and were
left to starve without means to return to their
homes. Several suicides of soldiers are report
ed.
The Indians still continue to ravage the States
of Sonora and Durango. An exchange of pris
oners had been agreed to by one of the Apache
chiefs, and in consequence thereof, he had given
a respite to the town of Fronteras, which he had
been menacing. The mril to Chihuahua had
been cut off, and the carrier murdered. An offi
cer reports town Durango a valiant affair which
he bad with some Indians, but from his account
all he did was “to save his troops,” which he
did by running. Several of his men and the
officer in command, were killed by the Indians.
The Governor of Durango had called a junta of
the principal citizens to devise means of de
fense.”
[From the Chronicle fy Sentinel.]
To the Voters of Elbert County.
Fellow Citizens :—Through the medium of
the public press, I am requested to answer the
following questions:
First.—Do you believe the people of this State
have the right to control the retail traffic in spir
ituous liquors within their respective Militia
Districts as they may think proper ?
Second.—Are you in favor of their enjoying
that right ?
The intemperate use of spirituous liquors, is
an evil in our country of no common magnitude,
and the retail tiaffie, legalized as it is, has pro
duced and spread upon the land much woe and
misery. It is a fact not to be disguised, that al
most all the quarrels, fights, mobs, riots and
crimes may be traced back, as having their origin
in intemperance It is a well established fact
that almost all the poverty, and want, and suf
fering, and beggery can be traced to the same
origin. By intemperance thousands of children
are made sufferers, and thousands of wives are
made homeless and houseless widows. It is in
temperance that ha- filled our prison houses with
'’’•miinaU, and the condemned culprit, under the
"allows, is made to confess that drunkenness
brought him there. The philanthropist has a
wide field, and a mighty subject, and all must
feel the majesty of an effort, to curtail the influ
ence and retard the progress of this evil. In our
State that effort has been made,and success marks
its progress. Moral suasion has accomplished a
great work, aud if permitted to proceed, will
produce fruits far more lasting, permanent and
substantial than any law you can place on your
statute books. Moral suasion has produced a
mighty revolution in the public mind, and pa
tience and the continuing in a good cause will
bring about a State of things that will endure
through all time, because truth, reason, virtue
and intelligence lend their willing aid, to this
glorious consummation.
The advocates of Legislative action, might
become apathetic in the great work of reform
by the passage of the law they seek, believing
that such a law would be a sufficient remedy for
the disease; but no law can have a binding
force, without an acquiescing people. The
people in this free country are the source of the
laws, and they must be satisfied that their in
terest and the well-being of the country will be
subserved by the enactment, or else it will re
main on the statute book a dead letter.
This is a moral question, and should not make
one of the elements in politics, producing divi
sions and schisms among the people, arraying
neighbor against neighbor,and the friend of tem
perance against the friend of temperance. The
agitation of this question,in the way it is at pres
ent presented to the public mind, will henceforth
make an issue between all future candidates lor
the suffrage of the people, for all the offices in
their gift, whether high or low. You all know,
that under great excitements, we are not apt to
arrive at correct conclusions, and are sure to be
come prejudiced, and throw ourselves upon ex
tremes, which is well calculated to bring about a
state of things more to be deplored, than the evil
complained of, viz : the total and everlasting de
feat of the object sought to be gained. I cannot
see how the passage of such a law would di
minish the amount of liquor consumed, or the
evils of intemperance, for it only seeks to con
trol the retail traffic, and those who know, or are
familiar with what is called family groceries,
are well satisfied that they afford as many faci
hties for drinking and intemperance as retail
houses.
Such a law would not he general, but partial
in its operation ; it would give to the license
districts power to erect within their limits any
quantity of houses, by placing them along the
hne for the convenience of those districts that
retused license, producing as much annoyance to
the refusing as to the granting district
The passage of such a law would erect, as it,
were, a vast number of small republics within
the State, having legislative powers on a given
subject, and controlling it in different ways,
thereby producing confusion, difficulties of vari
ous sorts, and engendering lawsuits, and disturb
ing the public tranquility, waving the constitu
tional objection.
But you will say that the retailer should not
have all the power to deal death and destruction
over the land. The retail traffic is now legal
ized—repeal the law, and you may then reach
the retailer, when it is proven to a court and
jury that his traffic is a nuisance to the commu
nity and people. The repeal of the law would
place the retailer more on his guard, and give
the injured citizens an opportunity to obtain re
dress for the wrongs and injuries they may have
sustained.
And now, fellow-citizens, in closing these re
marks, permit me to say in sincerity and truth,
that I believe the agitation of this question, will
do injury to the cause of temperance. It should
not constitute an element in politics. You do
it injustice when you give it that position. The
plan for reforming mankind, from drunkenness
was conceived in phylanthrophy. Conduct it
in the same spirit, and you will receive a rich
reward, and have accomplished more for man
kind, than a volume of statutes, against the
traffic- Wm. B White.

The Augusta Ice Company.
This Company’s supply of Ice has given out
as-usual, in the midst of the hot weather, or
ratjier it has piven out earlier than usual; for
hitherto the supply has at least lasted till the
dog-days had fairly set in.
Yesterday numerous applicants, tickets in
hand, were at the Jackson-st. Ice House for Ice,
induced to call by the morning’s advertisement.
| But the supply had given out at an earlier hour.
When will Augusta have an Ice Company
j adequate to the emergency? We suggest the
propriety of a new enterprize of that sort.—
| Competition is the life of trade, and in this case
| would be a public blessing.
Savannah River Yallev Railroad.
We learn from a friend that a very large meet
: ing was held at Dorn’s mine, in Abbeville Dis
i trict, South Carolina, on the 11th inst., at which
books of subscription to the above Railroad were
i opened. There were two to three thousand
persons present. Os these, a large number were
i ladies, who were there to cheer on the enter
! prize by their pleasing smiles.
The meeting was organized by calling Col.
I James Tompkins to the chair, and appointing
Dr. T. F. Stephens, Secretary. Addresses were
made by W. C. Morange, A. J. Hammond, Wi
ley Harrison, and Mr. Floyd, agent of the New
; York Gold Mining Company. The addresses
are highly spoken of by our informant, particu
larly that of Mr. Floyd, which was of a practic
al character, and to the point. Mr. Dorn, the
gold mine millionaire, did not make a speech,
but made a remark much to the point, which
was that he would take SIOO,OOO of the Stock.
Mr. Floyd, also, assured the meeting New York
capitalists could be induced to take that amount
or double it, if necessary, to secure the charter ;
but he appealed to the self-interests and public
I spirit of Carolinians, to keep the control of this
j road in their own hands, as they were abund
} antly able to do so. He furnished interesting
statistics of the wealth of Abbeville and Edge
| field Districts, taken from the census returns,
| showing that they were not surpassed in wealth
and resources by any two districts in South Car
olina, Charleston District not excepted.
A thunder and rain storm dispersed the crowd,
and our informant did not learn the amount of
stock subscribed. No doubt it will tell well for
the success of the road.
The subscription books, opened at Calhoun’s
Mills and Lowndesville, we understand, exhibit
a fair amount of stock taken. At Hamburg, we
have already mentioned over seventy-five thou
sand dollars have been subscribed, which amount
will no doubt be doubled. It is reported the
Bank of Hamburg has agreed to take $50,000 of
the stock.
The distance from Anderson C. H. to Ham
burg, the proposed terminus of the road, is about
i ninety-five miles, and the road will run through
a region of country of a character well adapted
for the enterprize, and of remarkable productive
ness.
Should this road ever be brought over to Augus
ta, as it is the desire of many of its friends along
the route, it would add greatly to the prosperity
of this city, while it would give the planters on
the South Carolina side convenient access to this,
their favorite market.
We hope the charter oi the Company may be
so amended as to permit the crossing. Augus
ta ought then, and probably would, subscribe
largely to the road.
The probability of the completion, at no dis
tant day, of the Rabun Gap Railroad, from Knox
ville, or some point on the East Tennessee &
Georgia Railroad to Anderson Court House, adds
greatly to the desirableness of this arrangement.
Fine Corn. —On Thursday, the 7th, the edi

Ocmulgee, in Thomas county, where he saw a
field of corn, containing about one hundred acres,
a portion of which he thinks will produce be
tween fifty and sixty bushels of grain to the
acre ; and if the season continues favorable he
thinks the hundred acres will yield from three
thousand five hundred to four thousand bushels.
He passed through other fields which have been
worked fifteen or twenty years, which he thinks
will yield as many bushels to the acre, and that
too without the use of manure. The rains
throughout have been timely, and the season
thus far otherwise favorable to the production of
good crops.
Banquet to President Pierce in Phila
delphia.—After the reception of General
in Philadelphia, on Tuesday—which all the pa
pers of that city describe as hearty and enthu
siastic—he paitook of a banquet given him by
the city authorities at the Merchants’ Hotel.
In response to a toast proposed by Mayor Gilpin,
complimentary to the President, he replied as
follows :
Mr. Mayor and Fellow-Citizens :—As I have
more than once had occasion to say to-day, I feel
that you have overborne me by your kindness,
and I wish to say that which I ought not to
omit—to you, Mr. Mayor, and all who differ
with me politically—that if in the changes and
chances of life, my party shall be placed in a
different position—that we may-have the grace
to do the same thing that you are doing now—
to give the same hearty welcome. (Cheers:)
There are no circumstances in our political
relations to show why you and I should not be
the best of friends. (Cheers.) For instance,
take our friend, Gen. Cadwalader. He is a whig
—but when his country wanted his services—
though surrounded by ample means and wealth,
and all the comforts and luxuries of life—he
marched to the field, and nobly fought his coun
try’s battles—is he not a patriot ? (Cries of aye,
and cheers.) Look, too, on another friend near
me. (Gen-Patterson.)
Did he not abandon his private interests and
all endearments of home, and march to the field
of battle ? (Cries of aye, and cheers.) I rejoice,
then, in having two such men near me—one on
my right and the other on my left, and you, sir,
(addressing the Mayor,) to boot. Such meet
ings merge party, and remind us all that we are
Americans. (The President sat down amid
enthusiastic cheers.)
Speeches were also made by Secretaries Da
vis and Guthrie, Attorney General Cushing,
Hon. Jas. Buchanan, General Patterson, Mayor
Gilpin, Col. Forney, Morton McMichael, Esq.,
and others. The banquet was a magnificent
affair, and highly honorable to the authorities of
Philadelphia, nearly all of whom are the politi
cal opponents of the President.
A Slander Branded. —The Boston Atlas
puts forth the following :
“The Washington Union. General Pierce’s or
gan, reads the New York Evening Post and the
Buffalo Republic out of the Democratic party be
cause they are suspected ot free-soilism ; General
Pierce appoints men to office because they are
known to be free-soilers. The General should
keep his wind instrument in better tune or dis
cord will ensue.”
It is unqualifiedly false that “General Pierce
appoints men to office because they are known
to be free-soilers and it is impossible that the
Atlas could have been ignorant of the falsehood
when it fabricated it. It is, therefore, a delib
erate and unmitigated slander. We repeat w-hat
we have said before—that General Pierce has
appointed no man to office knowing or be'ieving
him to be a free-soiler ; and he stands pledged
to correct any such appointment into which he
may have inadvertently fallen, when the fact
of present free sojlism is fixed on any of the ap
pointees.— Wash inst on Union.

Irving Place, No.l.
We invite attention to the subjoined letter,
received by a friend, from a lady, in New York,
relative to the new Private Hotel and Boarding
House, recently opened in the Emnire City, by
Madame Zsulavski Kossuth,sister of the Hunga
rian patriot and exile, of the same name What
ever difference of opinion may exist as to the
great Magyar himself, there can be none as to
his wonderful gifts of language and eloquence ;
and as to the claim of his sister on the general
sympathy and aid. in her honorable effort to
prov’de, by her honorable exertions, a mainten
ance for herself and family. Here is the let
ter:—
New York, June 15.
My Dear Sir : —l do not know whether you
at all my admiration and respect for the
exile Kossuth, but I am very sure that you will
feel great sympathy for the effort which his
worthy sister is making to support herself and
family ;an effort which I think only requires
to be known to meet with abundant encourage
ment. The facts are simply these :
Last November, Madame Zsulavsky, having a
family of five to maintain, opened a Boarding
House in New York. She selected a new and
beautiful house in an excellent neighborhood,
(corner of Fourteenth-street and Irving Place,)
furnished it in a style of simple elegance, and
secured the aid of efficient servants. Through
the winter and spring she did well, proving her
self fully competent to the management of her
establishment. Her table was excellent; the
domestic regulations, marked by order and punc
tuality ; and her boarders, with one accord, ex
pressed their entire satisfaction in her arrange
ments for their comfort. By her good manage
ment, she not only carried on this expensive es
tablishment, but was able to pay SISOO on debts
incurred for furniture, &c.
Now', however, during the summer months,
New York is deserted by a large portion of its
population, and those who receive boarders must
depend, in a great measure, on their connections
abroad, for support Madame Zsulavsky, a
stranger, is without these connections, she has a
rent of $2500, and corresponding expenses to
meet, and her household has lately been in
creased, by the arrival of her sister’s family, ot
five. She will be most grateful for any notice
which will call attention to her establishment,
and thus enable her to maintain her family in
honest independence. She will gladly receive
transient as well as permanent boarders, and I
feel sure that any of your citizens who visit
New York this summer, could nowhere find a
more convenient and elegant home, than with
her, where the abundance of a regular hotel
would be joined to the quiet comfort of a private
house.
It certainly would be a gratification to aid an
accomplished and interesting woman in the hard
struggle*for an independent life, and all those
who have had the pleasure of Madame Zsulav
sky’s acquaintance, who have seen how her
heart is filled w’ith noble aspirations, though
shaded by sorrow, for the fate of her country, and
how quietly, yet firmly, she meets every diffi
culty and every sorrow’, will feel it a duty, as
well as a pleasure, to rid the courageous mother,
and the noble exile. * * *

Latest Intelligence. — Russia and Turkey
London, July 2.—Telegraphic despatches from
Paris yesterday, state that news of the rejection
of the last ultimatum had reached St. Petersburg
on the 24th ult. The Emperor had made a per
sonal declaration to the English and French Am
bassadors, expressed in the strongest language,
stating that even the destruction of his fleets
would not prevent his invading Turkey and ob
taining reparation.
The fourth division of the Russian army had
been ordered to enter Moldavia. The Russian
force on the line of the Black Sea amounts to
160,000 men.
The Emperor complains of the conduct of the
British Premier, and is said to have forwarded
peremptory instructions to M. Deßrunow to con
fine himself to official intercourse with the Brit
ish Secretary of State.
Paris , July I.—At the Bourse, to-day, Securi

President Piercers Movements—Departure from
Philadelphia—His Reception and Passage Through
New Jersey , fyc —President Pierce took a ride
through the city at an early hour this morning,
and spent a couple of hours in receiving the sal
utations of our citizens, who thronged to Inde
pendence Hall in great number?.
At 11 o’clock the President and his suite took
their departure, en toute for New York. At Bur
lington and Bristol, New Jersey, he was greeted
by lage assemblages of the people, who had
gathered from many miles round. He made but
a brief stop, however, and returned the salutations
extended to him in a graceful manner.
At Borde.ntown the President was joined by
Governor Fort, and received an enthusiastic
greeting from the people.
At half-past twelve o’clock the train reached
Trenton, where a civic and military procession
was in waiting. The President was welcomed
to the city, and proceeded on horseback, by the
side of Gov. Fort, a national salute of 21 guns
being fired from a neighboring height. He was
conducted to the court-house amid much enthu
siasm,where many ladies were assembled.
Chief-Justice Greene welcomed the President in
an appropriate speech, to which he eloquently re
sponded. IV!r. Cushing also delivered a brief
address.
The procession was re-formed, and the Presi
dent escorted to the depot, taking his departure
for Newark at 3 o’clock.
At Newark a most enthusiastic welcome
awaited the President, where he made another
admirable speech, in reply to an address of wel

proceed on to New York by the morning train,
proceeding direct from the wharf T o participate

This celebrated medicine, skilfully 1

ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini. I
ments is proven by the miraculous cures it performs j
and by the great and constantly increasing de! I
mand. Thero has been sold within tho past year 1
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES, j
and there can be but few persons found who do 1
not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare I
virtues it p ssesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the fl
creation of the w rid, has been so successful as an I
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this ■
wonderful curative. When applied, it instants. If
neously diffuses itself through tho whole system, I
sooth ng tho irritated nerves, allaying the most I
intense pains and creating a most delightful setsa- 1
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which 1
can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac- I
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils —My 1
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a &
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar- 1
gor, till when six years old had great difficulty in f
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept, I
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at ||
tended her but could give no relict. I took her to the I
most eminent doctors in the East; they said there 9
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With asad I
heart I returned home with her, when she became 1
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in ,
again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut 1
off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife 1
would not consent to this, and she determined to I
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first |
application, and by a continued use she entire- I
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and healthy as could bo desired. Your Liniment |
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts, j
burns, headache, etc., and it will remove tho most 1
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked J
udder in my cow in a few days.
