MR. VAN BUREN'S VISIT TO NEW YORK.
Tho Federal papers of New York nro urging tho
Whigs to pay no compliments to Mr. Van Burkn.
during his contemplated visit to his native State.
They did tho same thing previous to the viflt of
Genera) Jackson, yet when the old chieftain nr
rived there, they were the first to fawn upon him.
The history of the times proves this, nnd it is a fair
specimen of Whig professions n. practice, They
will do the samo with Mr. Van Burkn.
Stkan FniGATKi.—Tho Pennsylvanian says:—
We learn that orders have been received from the
Navy Department for building n steam ft igate at tho
I’hifedalphin Navy Yatd, nnd that another is to he
✓ - - ■ w commenced at New York. It is gratifying to hear
Ely Moore, late member ofCangrcss, from Nct^ yof this. both because it show* evidences of n deter*
York city, has been appointed Surveyor of tho Dis
trict and Inspector of the Rovcnuo for the port of
New York.
Tliia is another appointment that does infinite
credit to Mr. Van Burkn. The recipient is 4 onc
of the fairest specimens of an American citizen
in tho Union. Without friends or pntronage, he
has raised himself to a station tlint the proudest in
the land-mny envy. Once a journeyman printer—
subsequently a member of Congress, and always
since bis first appearance in public life, a genuine
friend to liberty—free trade, and equal right#, his
^election must be gratifying tobls political friend*^,

SCIENCE AND LETTERS.
It will bo socn by tho following, from the Ricli-
mond Compiler, 14tlt Inst., received by yesterday's
Qtnail, that wo am not alone in our sentiments res
pecting tbe late appointment* from tho ranks of
literature. Tlie following is more, valuable, per
haps, u it comes from a Whig pnper t—
“ The Government deserves credit for the man
ner in which it is aiding science and letters through
It* appointments to foreign agrafe*. These 0 p-
pointment* arc ■ fit medium for the encouragement
of scluntlfie nnd literary pursuits, where our talent
ed citizens desire to follow them into a foreign land.
It was but the ether day that a respectable young
gentleman of Baltimore, who waa about visiting the
Continent to prosecute the study of music, of which
It# was a professor, was selected by the Govern
ment hearer of dospatchas to raw of our minis.

RECRUITING FOR MR. CLAY.
Major N-iaii, of the New York Earning Star,
hns sent out his drummers und crimp sergeants to
beat up recruits for Mr. Clay. The Major is an
old band at the work, nnd as he lias mounted the
Clay cockade, ho will make the drumsticks fly until
they cruntu u rub-a-dub that niny bother tho ears of
soon of th 'sc who have to listen to such strains—
without a dulcet sound.
Great nllownnrc, however, is to he mnde tlie
Major, while he spin* the prniio of Mr. Cl.AY—fur
rccuiiing officer* have ever had nil unlimited license
from tlie dnys of Srrji ant Kilely down to ihe
nowned Corporal Casey of Paddy Carey memory.
And then Majors hnve peculiar prerogative*—vide
Major Longbow himself! But even India Rubbei
may bo »iretched too far, ami a limit is set to
cvciy thin j that Ims n being in this inunduno sphere.
So the Major’s flourishes in fqyor of Mr. Clay,
-rd not be all taken fur downright facts.
Tho Major place* great reliance on the nomina
tion which Mr. CLAY received tlie-other day from
the Federal Whig Legislature of Connecticut, fur
•bo Presidency. Strange as it may itppuar, that ho
lly |>n*«ed ihu following resolution—mid stranger
still, the Maj-irswalluws it with nil the gusto of a
genuine gourmand ;—
Resolved, That wo remomlier with gratitude his

THE SO UTHERN AGRICULTURIST.
Wo have the June number of this very valuable
publication before us. It has many exceedingly
well written puges. That on the physiulnglcul dif
ferences between the European (or white man) and
To Negro, by Dr. Ramnav, is good. A paper on
Pea Vines for Provendor," is worth attention.
Tho selections ura made with tho editors usual dis

of the work. Wo hope it is patronized as it ought.

Garry’s Ferry, K. F., Jiiro 11.
My Dcar Sir :—Sinco tlie departure of General
Macomb for Washington, there has been norhango

them so reckless, in' claiming fur tfftet a victoiy,
which they hnve been unable to secure. They are

the Sith-Troasury; hut they nro still more opimnil
