During a season of great religious de

we are all frozen together .”

fLI 1 ” At one of the battles in the Revolution,
the Yankees were piling up balls which had
been wasted by the enemy. The British Com
mander applied to them for balls as follows:
’• We waul balls, will you sell them ?”
The answer wan —“ Send us powder, and
we’ll give them to you.”
The aggregate amount of exportations
of cotton linen and woolen manufactures from
Great Britain I'or 1846 was less by $2419 485.
than in 1845 and if the people ofthe United
States are true to themselves it will continue to
liminish in a corresponding ratio. Why pay
England for manufactures- which can beafford
i and more cheaply where the raw material is
produced ?

ICf- Downing says the Plum is naturalllv a
marine tree, and it is surprising bow much
salt it will assimilate and thrive upon. We
have ourselves given a single tn * halfbush
el of salt in a season applied to the surface of
the ground in tlie spring over an area as wide
as the extent of the branches. Tlie tree was
in a sickly and enfeebled state and it had the
effect of restoring it to a healthy arid luxuriant
condition. But we consider this an extreme
case, and should not recommend the abundant
use of salt every year.

Flour 424766 barrels Corn Mmil 2046436
bids. Wheat 2 005.132 bushels. Curull 007,

By ehanging the quantity of Flour and
Meal into Wheat and Corn, allowing five
bushels to a barrel, the total exports have been
equal to Wheat. 4 129 262 bushels, Corn. 21 -
239 627 bushels —or upwards of twenty-five
and a half millions of ou hels of Wheat and
Corn exported in eight months.

General La Vega.—The Courier de* Etats
Cni* contains a paragraph in relation to this
distinguished Mexican General, which seems
to verify the opinion of the
“Ancient philosopher,
Who had read Alexander over,
Andeworc the world, as he could prove
Was made ol fighting and of love;”
For, according to this authority, it would ap
pear. that the gallant Mexican, at the very
time he was fighting our countrymen in Mexi
co, was himsell subdued by one of our equally
irresistible countrywomen.”
Says the Courier, speaking of the captured
Mexican Generals, “Among them was Gener
al l,a \ ega. who. doubtless calling to mind
his previous captivity, appeared delighted to
return to the United States, and chatted quite
gaily with General Scott the very evening of
the battle.”
“If a certain chronicle is to be believed,
which we have reason to think is predicati and
on good information, Gen. La Vega goes to
New Orleans to recommence a pleasant sweet
romance, which Ins release and return hi Mex
ico had interrupted, and the denouemet of
which seemed postponed to the conclusion of
the war. This is the explanation of the resig
nation with which lie meets his new captivity.”
Gen. La Vega, perhaps, may settle down in
New Orleans, and. aft, r having served a suf
ficiently long apprenticeship us a citizen ofthe
United States, represent Louisiana in Con
gress. \\ iiy not ns well as Gen. Houston.

Comet or 1556.—As long since as 1751.
Mr. Richard Dunltorne. of Cambridge, on
computing the elements of the comet of 1261.
found them so similar to those of the comet of
1556 that he was led to the conclusion that
tin* two were identical, and that its return
might be expected about 1848. Subsequent
investigations which have been made by dif
ferent astronomers, confirm this conclusion;
and there is. therefore, good reason to look
for the rc-appearance of tliis comet during the
year 1848. although it would not be surpris
ing it this event should happen even a year
earlier or later than this date.
SiHiman's Journal.
The Low Postage System.—Tlie low pos
i tag * system so violently opposed by Mr. Cave
\ Johnson, and a host of the small fry of Demo
{ craey seems to be operating with decided ruc
cess. A comparison ofthe reeeiptsat fifty-five
| of the principal offices in the Union during
the quarter ending on the 31st March, lslf
with the receipts at the same offices during
the corresponding period in 1846 shows an in
crease of tlie revenues of the Department of a
little over seventeen per cent. The increase
was greatest nt the Philadelphia office, the
receipts of the first quarter in 1547 having ex
ceeded those of the first three months in 1846
to the amount of $3,797. The next office on
i the list is Baltimo*” o?which ‘he increase was
$3,118.
Gen. Scott’s Order. Cerro Gordo.—
The following L the first paragraph of Gen.
Scott's general order before going into battle
at Cerro Gordo:
“The enemy’s whole line of entrenchim nts
and batteries will be attacked in front and at
the same time turned early in the day to
morrow —probably before 10 o’clock A. M.”
There is a manliness says the United States
(lazetti —about those few words—the expres
sion of a determination to “pluck from the
i nettle danger, the flower ric/ory ” that is hon
orable to the veteran. It is in the spirit of his
daring gallantry nt Lundy’s Lane.
VouiNTEtißs From Switzerland. —Thi
tvar hi Mexico has not only aroused the milita
ry enthusiasm of our own citizens, but it seems
that a number of Kuropeaiis are o tie ring their
services to the United States Government.—
The German SehnellyostV correspondent ii,
Basle, Switzerland, says eight hundred young
and haruy men, among whom are some of the
most distinguished men the .Swiss service have
ottered their services to the United States Gov
ernment. through the American Consul ai
Basic. They will engage to serve during the
war, or for live or ten years, and afterwards
form themselves into a military colony in Cal
ifornia. upon the plan of colonies winch Eng
land and Russia have in several ol their do
minions. Several of these volunteers have
litmilies, and are moat respectably connected.
A Traitor.— 1 lie St. Louis Republican
gives the following, liom u eor respondent at
Santa Fe, who does not profess, however, to
have personal knowledge ofthe matter:
“It is said that an American, who was well
known in Santa Fe lought hurt) against the
Americans, and with Ids very good rifle killed
most ol'those who fell dead. ‘tV'lien the fortress
was taken he endeavored to make his escape,
but the traitor fell with thirty odd balls through
him. One hundred must have been fired upon
him simultaneously, so great was their indig
nation against him. The w riter suj* he has

‘‘Death found strange beauty on that infant brow
And dash’d it out. There was a tint of rose
On ofict'k and lip; lie touch’d th * veins with ice
Ann the rose faded Forth from those bjnek eyes
There spoke a wishful tenderness—-a doubt
W Ix’ther to gricyc or sh*cp. which innocence
Alone can wear. With ruthless hsstt he bound
The silken fringes 1 1 their curtaining lids
Forever. There had been a murmuring sound
With which the babe would chann tlie mother’s ear;
Charming her even to t*ars. The spoiler s.”t
His seal of silence. Butihcre beam'd n smile
So fix'd and holy from that marble brow
D’ lith gaz’d, and left it there—he dared not steal
The signet ring of Heaven.”

able tor the ir medicinal virtues, y t so atrle known in
Ihe midland and lower counties of the State. These
Springs are in the wealthy and populous county of Cass,
about six nules from the village of Cartersvilie, a sta

road a line of daily singes for tlie acouni.n. > iaiion of
visitors. Asa retreat from the warm sun and luusjUi
toes ol the low country ol Georgia, 1 know of no place
that presents greater or equal attractions. The Springs
are situated in th” valley of an extensive range of
