Monumental Fame-
England hasju.-t waked up to a sense ofter

ot h r phl >9opher and heroee other than inscribing
*on.hi t or's page a record of their briilant achieve
ineme aDd daring exploits. She has permitted to
live at and die an Alfred, a Shakespeare, a Mil
ton, a Locke, a Bacon, a Newton and others and
at this la day, she is j ist ejecting a memorial to
th*3 grsat fame of the latter of these name?.
A little town in Lincolnshire, boast 9 of the great
honor of giving birth to this philosopher tpd
though one hundred and thirty one years have
paa-el away since hi- reman s wer borne to the
tomb, it ini n 3abuilding a staiue to his memory.—
Were it not lor the unpleisant asfociaiioiis cou
nrciel with monomenial fame in the minds ol
Englishmen, we might laugh at the idea ol erect
ing a monument after so great an interval ol time
b nco thodi ath of Newton and would suggest that
ihe Lincolnshire town be content to pride itsel'.
upon a ta 1 Church spire and a quaint Inn sign.—
But in former days the equestrian atators perpet
uated the features of meu, whe were regarded a

we cao pardon theseemii g neglect ot our irans’
a'Unic cousins in permitting to repose in VVest

Jo*>pher as Newton and commend them even ai
this late day lor denying a memorial to his fame,
when they were formerly erected by setvile cour

Extraordinary Affair —§4.800,000 Turk
ish Currency Counterfeited in Aett
York by a Woman..
An extraordinary case of counterfeiting
the bills of” itieTurkish Bank is detailed in
the New York papers. It appears th t a
Mrs. Sevasti arrired at Syria a short tirm
since, on her way from Liverpool to Con
statninople. The custom house officials as
usual oroceeded to examine her baggage.—
The first trunk which was opened wasfound
to hare u false bottom. A further search
was then made, and other trunks were
found to be made in the same manner, and
to have packed very carefully *in them
forged*notes of twenty piastres, to the lota!
amount of 1,230,000 piastres,-made up in
packets of 1,000 each. The lady hei.-t-ti
was afterwards searched, and there w6re
lotted carelullv sewed in her under gar
•ineuls, 30,000'piastres more of the same
notes. ‘The lady was immediately taken
into custody, where she confessed that she
h and 600,000 ‘-Caimes’ printed in N. York,
and had passed off a great number of them
in Constantinople. ‘The intelligence was
transmitted to New York by telegraph by
way of London, and on Thursday the po
lice arrested Mr. Harrison, a job printer,and
fund about 8400,000 ot the “Caimes ’in
his office. The Courier says:
From his explanations it became evident
that he was entirely unaware of the true
character of the jib he had done for the
Turkish lady. lie said he recollected her
calling upon lira about the first of July, un
der the nameol Madame Zoifmen, and en
gaging lint to print a large quantity of what
appeared to be labels, at one dollar per
thousand, exclusive of the cost ofdyes ant!
engraving. Site called se.erai times to see
the proofs, and at last became satisfied with
he piper and impression, and ordered
600,000 to be printed. She evaded
hts inquiries as to the nauire of whatlte was
printing, but finally said they were labels.—
She paid him 81/106 in cash and a note for
8300 in payment for the job. On the 23d
of July she had the labels transferred to the
Astor House, and that was the iast ho saw
ol her. He had not the slightest suspicion
that what she called “labels” were pieces
of Turkish money. He supposed them to
beiaoeisto be used on some nostrum or
article of commerce of Eastern origin, ftom
there being Chinese characters upot them.
His wrktuen were detained as witnesses.
The “Caimes” found on the premises of
the printer were refuse sheets which Mrs.
Sevasti rejected. The 600,000 “Caimes”
which she carried to Constantinople were
worth 20 piastres each, ami the piastres
being valued at 40 cents, the emire quan
:ity of paper money was worth 84,800,
000. Mrs. Sevasti is a native of Moldavia
and is supposed to be connected with an
extensive gang o! counterfeiters in Turkey.
Mr. Harri-ou has published a card nar
raling ttie circumstances ot hi* connection
with the affair, which seems to leave but
little doubt ot his innocence of arty criminal
known dge or intent concerning it.—Sau.

The Pie Melon.
The Southern Cultivator (Augusta. Ga.)
gives the following directions for the pre
servation and preparation of the Pie Melon
or Pie Apple Melon :
Lei the melons remain on the vines until
they begin to mm yellowish—then gather
them carefully, bruising, and put
them away ina cool place for winter use.—
When you wish to cook them, peel off the
skin and cut up the melon small, taking out
the seeds, soft pulp, if any, &c. Put them
in a preserving kettie, with just enough wa
ter to keep tin m from burning, and stew
over a tolerably brisk fire for three < r four
hours, or until the whole is reduced to a
olt, pulpy mass, free from lumps, ami
thoroughly “done.” You have, then, a
substance resembling green apple* stewed,
and by adding a little sugar anil lemon juice
o it, and making it up with the crust in
the usual way. it is impossible to tell it from
a fresh apple pie. The lemon juice is
necessary to give it flavor, as it is rather
insipid without it.
If you desire a pumpkin or custard p ; e of
the melons, stew as above directed, but omit
the lemon, and bring the pulpy mass to the
proper ricltn> ss and consistency by the ad
dition ofsugar, milk and eggs Li lie of
either of these ingredients will be found
necessary—only sufficient to give the melon
color and flavor. IT skillfully prepared,
these melons will be found an important
auxiliary to the housewile, during several
months in the fill and winter. We have
kept them sound and hatd until March.
Thp.ii.uno Instance of Faith.—A cler
gyman in this city read a ietler at one ot
the Sansoin stree ! noonday prayer meetings
• his week Irom a young man ot his acquain
tance wl o was on hoard the ill-fated Aus
tria, in which he detailed the last interview
b°tween himself and five Christian comrades
who perished b tiealh the waves. As soon
as the deslruct on of the vessel was found
inevitable, lltese six young men took a po
sition between Ihe flanns and the water,
with the understanding that at ihe last mo
ment they would unitedly consign them
selves to the latter. In the bare moment
thus allowed to contemplate their fate, their
hope in Christ was confidently expressed,
and when to escape thespreauing-fire their
leap became necessary, they fondly, grasp
ed each other’s hand, and with a parting
“farewell” and an expressed confidence that
in “a few moments they would meet in
heaven.” tin y sprang into the sea. The
writer of the letter states that after sustain
ing himself in the water by means of a life
preserver for four hours, (during which
time bis contemplations ot a future state ri
pened into a joy in believing in his Savior
such ns he ltd never before experienced,)
a vessel hova in sight for his release; so
that just at the moment when bis exhausted
energies brought the open door of heaven
more temptingly to view he was made the
subject of an earthly rescue. The reading
ol the letter refered to elicited an outburst
of lee'.ing ail over the room.— Phila Press.

Affairs in Mexico-
The news fiom Mexico which was published
in our teiegrathiu column of Thursday, very
clearly indicate* tiiat ano'her ori-is in the p liticsl
torture, of ihat republic is near st hand. The re
ports, contradictory though they be as to the result,
establish the fact that a serious conflict has oc
curred between the Zuloag.i and the Constitution
al forces. Intelligence is also brought that a num
ber of American citizens, tailing or refusing to
pay the contribution levied upon resideot foreign
ers by the Mexican Government, had been impris
oned at Tampico by the order ot Gcv Garzia—
The postute of affairs thu3 reached is one which
our Government can no longer regard with indif
ference. Action in the premises is imperatively
demanded. It must be decided, at once, whether
our citizens have any rights in that country under
treaty btwe.ui the two governments. If they
have,and the L’e acu< nos the Mexican au’hori
ties is in violation thereof, the duty of the Ad
ministration is unequivocal. For ourselves, we
Nfcve never had any doubt upon the subject. We
have approved the conduct of Mr. Forsyte from
ihecommencement to the conclusion, and every
subsrquent development has added strength to
that conviction. That this contribution was im
posed for the purpose o! raising means to eus'ain
the tottering fortunes ol Zuloaga can no longer be
a subject of dqubt. So long as it remained an
empty decree, the protest ot our Minister was per
haps, sufficient; but its practical enforcement in
vests the question with a substantial interest and
calls for prompt and positive action. Other indi
cations, but and mly and partially revealed, promise
a still greater degree of complication to our Mex
[ ican relations. It is believed that the movement
against Mexico threatened bv the Spanish Gov
ernment, will have for its object the disptaeem nt
of both the contending powers and the re instate
inent of San'a Anna to the diebfb r-hip of that
countiy. Os such an effort the United .* tales
would not be an indifferent or silent spectator
While we refrain trom meddiing with the domes
tic affairs of that detracted country, we will be
vigilant to prevent any European power from as
serting the prerogative of interference. Under no
pretext will they be allowed to obtain another
footing on the North American Continent.
Sominations— South Western Circuit
We learn froojthe South-Western News, that
the Democratic Judieiai Convention, which assent
bled at Albany on the I2ih tnst., nominated for
Judge of the South-Westorn Circuit Hoo. Richard
H Clark,of Dougherty, and tor Solicitor. Wm.
B. Guerry of Sumter. We congiatulate the peo
ple of that Circuit on the prospect of having the
responsible otfices of Judge and Solicitor filled by
two such able and competent gentlemen. Mr,
Clarke is still comparatively ttyoung man and hts
juridical attainments are ot the highest order. For
the last fifteen years he has devoted Itimsell assidu
ously to ‘he practice of law, and his distinguished
success as an advocate and lawyer sufficiently at
tests his competency and approves the action of
the convention. With Mr. Guerry we are better
acquaint das the editor of the South Western
News ; but we learn that he is as good a lawyer
as editor, and.ifso, theduties of a Solicitor will be
discharged with h ,nor to himself and satisfaction to
the country. They will have an easy aud success
ful race. So hope we.

Dear Sir ~Enclosed 1 forward you some ex
tract**, taken irom the papers of this city, relative
to Mexican affjir?, and the inter.wts of Americans
in ihe G idsden Purchase. They will afford you
a slight indication how our relations with ihe
Mexican Republic stands upon this ride of the Pa
cific slope, i have paid particular attention to
these matters, from the tact that I have sought the
appointment ot Consulship or Vice Consulship at
Mazatlao, the Commercial seaport of th; State of
Sinaloa, on the Gulf of California, x his is the
most important Entreport of Foreign and domes
tic trade on the Pacific sideol the Mexican nation.
1 will not say Republic, for that I believe no longer
exists—and the importance ol cultivating friendly
relations with our Spanish Mexican neighf'or,
while at the same time Uj holding the interests of
our own countrymen with a firm and upright hand,
cannot be over-estimated, The course pursued by
our Minister Hon Joha Forsyth, at the Mexican
Capital, in resisting the tax imposed upoa Amer
ican citizen, meeis ihe warm approbation of the
commercial classes of San Franci co as well as
friends of the present Democratic Admi istration.
If Mr. Buchanan’s Government will now follow
up ihe noble stand taken by our Minister, and
miike the Mexicans feel the full force of their re
spoiifcibiliiy he will stamp his Administration wdih
a prestige for strength and wisdom which will
bring to his standard the Uoited support of the
American people.
In the S.ate ot Sonora. Gov. Ignacio Pcsque
ria still holds sway. Ile is emphatically exas
perated Hgti ist American?, He may have some
just cause ior ms hostility againei our people, in
consequence of the Crabb invasion, but he is car

The Election in this Ma e on the Ist inst., re*
suited glor.ously for the Democratic party. Our
nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court, Hon.
J seph G. Baldwin, formerly of Alabama, has
been elected by upwards of 7,000 majority. The
Democratic m-jority in the Legislature is also
large—from 40 to 50 on joint ballot. The efforts
of the “Freedom Shritkera” in garbling extracts
from your speeches and that of Senator Ham
mond, ol South Carolina have proved abortive.

We have been allowed the perusal of a
letter from Mr. Fletcher, dated Miami,Fla.,
Oct. Ist. and addressed to his son in ibis
place, from which we extract the follow
ing:
“We had a visit, Sept. 19th and 20th,
from Tiger Tail’s party of Indians, fifteen
in number including hi nsclf—thirteen men
and two boys. They are all peaceable and
express a wish to continue so. Three of
the young Indians could read and write and
calculate in dollars and cents. They are
determined to remain in Florida ; they have
plenty of money and say that all the money
in the United Stales will not bribe them to
leave here. They wish to settle ihemselves
down and live in peace, to be governed by
the laws and protected by the laws.”
We are informed tiiat many are engaged
in clearing land bout six miles from the
residence of Mr. Fiedler. All the Indians
are niw in tlie Eastern part of the Ever
glades, engaged in tha cultivation of arrow.-

France, Eugla nd and America, they are now
publicly showing their dissatisfaction by be
coming brawling filibusters. Disgusted
with the natives, 4hey regret that Walker
ever left the country, and are wishing, ho

safety for manor matter. Travelers are met
upon the road, robbpd and murdered, with

I While Walker waa in the country, amidst

j prefered by Walker’s enemies tiiat he had
j outraged all those sacred privileges Who,
j then, isanswerable at present? Surely, they

MONDAY, OCTOBER 18 _
Sabbath School Celebration-
Saturday was a gala day for the children of our
city. At the hour of 9 o’clock, A. M., all the
Method it Schools —embracing Methodist School
No. 1, VVynnton, Beatlwood, Pierce Chapel,
Factory and Girard —and the Presbyterian Sab
bath School, cot.vened at the Methodist Ehurch,
The number present*wae latge, one School
standing in the ide-the galleries and the lower part
of the Church being full- Alter a welcome song
and a lew remarks from the Superintendent of
Sabbath School No. 1, Master Tho nas Grimes,
as the mouth-piece of ihis School, welcomed the
scholars present, in a most beautiful address, de-
I,voted too in a style seldom surpassed by the most
accomplished orators It was responaed to in au
appropriate manner by Master Edward Mitchell
of the Presbyterian School, Master John Stand
ford ol the Girard school, Master Win. H. Young
ol Bealiwood—Master Henry Day of Pierce
Chspsl, and Rev. W. G Conner in behalf ol the
Factory. The speeches were all well received.
The procession then, accompanied by* a band of
music, marched to Camp Montgomery- It wa- the
moving of an army with banners; numborii g 850
in the proce-sion ; and the bright faces reflected, as
with a mirror, the joyous emotions of the young
hearts. Arrived at Camp Montgomery, a prayer
was offered by Rev. J H DeVotie, when Hon G E
Thomas, as the orator of the day, made a cha3te,
beautiful and eloquent address.
The tables were loaded with everything gratify
ing to the palate and reflected credit upon the
Lady managers who superintended it.
After dinner impromtu speeches were delivered
by Messrs W. G. Conner, J. Berrien,Oliver, and
Georgo Thomas, which elicited applause. The
former of these gentlemen L.'iiiig “Webster’s spel
ling book” for his text—the key to the Bible—a
subject which intero usd the children and which
lie tteated well.
Tho whole affi passed off pleasantly and the
children with their rosettes of all colots bore thorn
as badges of honor —proud of the distinction con
ferred.
An incident occurred worthy of notice. As the
procession passed, two by two, the Minis; r of one
of the ( hurcties observed a sweet laced little girl,
dressed in a neat, but plain attire—the earnings
perhaps of a poor Mother—tripping along bore
Jno'ed as merrily as though unconscious of the
contrast she presented with others. The tender
heart of the minister was touched—it swelled his
bosom to think the girl at the risk of mortification
would thus take part in the celebration and grasp
ing his pursestrings, he paid a tribute io charity
worthy the heart of a Christian.
To return, this delightful day will long be ro
membered by tha children, and when gray hairs
rha 11 overtake them, they will looa back through
the vista of the past to it as one of the moat pleas
ant incidents of their life. May it over be a green
spot upon which mem -ry can look, insp ring them
to noble impulses and generous deeds, and fitting
them for a glorious immortality beyond the skies.
Hon- Wm. L. Yancey, and Roger A
Pryor.
The controversy which has sprung up between
these gentlemen (.-ays the Huntsville, Ala.) Dem
ocrat,) is a source of great regret to their mutual
friends- We do not think that Col. Yancey is
justly to be blamed for it. We concede that some
suggestions of his Slaughter letter were not of our
notion, but they were not of a character toj.atity
tha acritnoniou-i assault of Mr. Pryor. Nor is
there anything in the Constitution of the “League
of United Southerners,” (however. Southern men
may differ about the policy ol such an organiza
tion,) to pmvoke the denunciation of any true
Southerner, much less Mr. Pryor, who had gone
as fat as Col. Yaneoyever did, in his denuncia
tions of Northern aggressions, and expressed de
terra nations to l'erist luriher aggre s.oa “at all
hazards and to the last extremity.”
The reply ol Mr Pryor to Colonel Yan
cey’s letter to hurt is marked by his usual
brilliant and diffusive style, but it is far from
being a fair and just criticism upon Colonel
Yancey’s letter, his genera! political course,
or the League. We see in it more of the ekillful
evasion and special pf tiding of the artful dialec
tician than the plain-sailing logic of the straight
forward exponent and defender o’ truth-
Personal triumph, rather than the success of
truth for truth’s sake, seems to be tMr. Pry
or's object, and in his zeal to accomplish this
object, temporarily,he lias failed to acquaint him
self thoroughly with Col. Yancey’s political his
toty, particularly his relations to the Democratic
party. Hero, if our memory does not deceive us,
Col. Yancey has it in hi power to disprove some
ol Mr. Pryor's allegations ot fact ana to place him
completely Aors du combat. He will be able to
show that he is no disappointed office-seeker; no
supporter of Adm nistrations tor the sake ol spoils;
never assaulting without cause; yet never chary
of censure when desetved ; never wanting in feal
ty to the true principle of States Rights republican
ism,or losing an opportunity to defend them,when
necessary; always t i eir true, gallant, eloquent
champion in good and evil report. We would
specify particulars in which Mr. Pryor has spoken,
without the record of Col- Yancey ; but we have
not time or inclination to do so, at present, espec
ially as we think it likely that C,J. Yancey, as
j toon as his health will permit, will furnish the facts
I in his own v ndication.
Franklin College-
Asa matter of says ihe Augusta
j Chronicle and Sentinel, we publish the commu
mcati'-n ot the Rev. W J Parks, proposing to
‘ell Franklin College to the Episcopalian Church,
for we dissent entirely from his views. Although
we feel constrained to believe that the College is
a doomed institution, under its present manage
men t, yet we regard it the d*ity of the legi lature, to
m ike it what its founder, and iho sages and patri
ots who framed the Constitution designed it should
be—a “University.** I is simply ridiculous to
call it by that name no w Every State owos it
to the people, to found within its limits tho bes t
institutions lor the education of its eons, and
Georgia has as yet fallen far, very far short of the
performance of her duty in this respect. So far
that the State institution does not rank above, if it
equals these endowed by private munificence.
We are perfectly aware that these opinions will
not meet with favor, or be appreciaied by rigid
sectarians, or ihe small heer politicians and dema
gogues of the day, who are always clamorous
about taking the people’s money to provide for the
education of the sons of rich men ; bJt we care
not, as we do not addre-s ourselves to such narrow
minds on a question of such magnitude. We look
alone to the intelligent and liberal-minded to carry
out such a purpose, and when the questi u is be
fore the people we shall mak'i our appeal accord
ingly, and we hhall not hesitate to tell them that
the College and Faculty need removing, purging
from basement to dome, before it can succeed. For
as at present organised, we regaid failure inevit
able-certain—only a question of time. These
may be, aud no doubt are, unpalatable truths to
enrne men, but they are nevertheless truths, which,
in our opinion,it behovostho people to meet bold
ly and fearlessly, like patriots and statesmen, aud
apply the remedy.

The. Future of Mexico—Her Immense
Debt.
Although an attentive looker on, and a
long and active resident of this country .and
moreover one who takes a deep infer*-*
its future, I confess that never di.i r-uch
doubt hang ovet my mind, of . bat is to
coine out of all these trot 1 *- ,-s of this coun
try at the present time. 1 sometimes am
almost induced to believe that there is no
salvation for this naturally rich and beauti
ful, but politically cursed land; and that
political annihilation must soon take place.
Os one thing lam sure; that with Mexi
cans alone, the country must lose its na
tionality within a very brief period. In
proof of this, we need simply cast our eyes
over the record since the time this country
became independent. The revolutions and
violent changes which bate taken place
v'ill clearly show, that the natives of this
country and ail mixed, inferior races, are
completely unfit to enjoy, as they are inca
pable of conceiving, a purely Democratic,
responsible government. Mexico has had
fifty-two changes in her government since
the year of her independence—in 1821
about one government to every half year ;
and the greater portion of all these changes
lias been brought about by e.vt! war—or,
n the parlance of the country, hv pronun.
ciamentos. With every change ot govern,
metit, the credibof the country has declined,
until now the interinr-debt-bonds ar*’ only
worth, in the market, about 7£ to 8 per
cent. The price of the diff retit foreign
convention debts differs according to times
and circumstances, but they 1 hold a
higher figure than the interior debt, from
the fact that the conventions are supported
by other governments; at least the nations
for whose citizens lhe.-o e nvention-- so x *
been made, occasionally buliy a little
through their legations here, am! thereby
the stockholders make out to get a portion
of their interest, overdue. W itiie I am
speaking of the debt I will give you, liom
the best authority, a list of what Mexico is
known to owe The table is taken from
the Mexican Extraordinary. and is acknow
ledged to be correct;
British Bond-ho ders’ debt, $60,621,843 00
Spanish Convention, 7,270,600 70
English Spanish Convention, 6,000.000 00
French Conveutfon, 2C3 490 00
American Ctaitns, • 3,000,000 00
Total of Foreign Debt, 876,150,133 76
Mexican Interior Debt, 63,451,455 08
Total (as figures are made
up,) . , . 8129,607,688 83
Besides the amount footi-d up above, Sr.
Lerd'i mentions another debt, übicfi fie de
ti'<minatpa “ flouting.” The amount of this
floating debt is not known, but fie says it
did amount to many thousands. It is not
at all improbable, if the statistics could be
obtained, that ties fl<> > mg debt runs up to
several, if not many mili.o is.
Thus y<>u v. in se.- me amount of debts
tiiis country has accumulated in ti e brief
space of twenty-seven years—thi- Country,
which in the iaiter days of ris provincial
existence, sent its millions to Sp tin, and at
onetime, paid almost tbe put.re colonial
expenses of the island of Cuba. N wCu
I ha has an expo t about so o tim a greater
than that of Mexico. Cuba ha- remained
a eolouy and has prospered,as would Mexi
co, had she no; become maddened by ihe
intoxicating i lea of self-government.
An American “ Protectorate ” Urged.
But my i h-a is no to get too deeply into
this subject, for volumes can be written that
cou'd be tilled with interest. My object i
to show some powerful illustrations of the
: decay of ihis country, its incompetenev for
self-government, and to urge that the Uni
ted States, for self-preservation; may do
her duty before long to this country and
save it from the vagabondage to which it
has arrived, Not only i.- it the policy of
the United States to do this for present and
future political purposes, but it is her duty
to do something with Mexico in justice to
her citizens who have come here under
treaty stipulations, and who have been plun
dered and outraged in the most shameful
manner. The resolution of Sam Houston,
offond in the United Slates Senate and
adopted by tiie British bomi-bolders, at a
late meeting in London, as gospei, has a
dial es good sense in it,and sooner or later,
it must be acted upon favorably.
How a Protectorate might be Established.
The number of Americans in this country,
is about 500 at this time. Ol all other
foreigners, we have about 9,000 more. The
Spaniards are in excess of all others put
together, and their retrogade ideas have
done much to put Mexico in the condition
she is in to-day. Had we a large Ameri
can and English population here, tlie effect
would be marvelous on the country : but
neither Englishmen or Americans will come
here to risk their capital, so long as their
Governments allow them to be plundered
with impunity, a* they have been, for the
last few ye,are. England has clearly said,
bv her actions here and elsewhere, that she
wishes the United States to lay hold of and
dictate a steady government to Mexico; and
it only remains for the United States to dic
tate strong terms to Mexico, to procure
submissive quiet at once. What the United
S'att-s ought to do is, to dictate a form of
government to Mexico and enforce quiet
on the country. Tiiis can be done by the
agency of a clever man here, as Minister
of the United States ; for alt classes of re
spectable people in Mexico, notwithstanding
they sincerely bate everything which is :
Anglo Saxon, would give their support aod
aid to such an agent of the United States,
for their own preservation. The prelimi
naries once arranged, details could easily be
Carried into effect, as five thousand men,
judiciously distributed throughout this
country, would keep down any revolution
ary feeling which might get abroad. It
would be a virtual pro'ectorate, and might t
cost tbe American Government sorn’ ad- j
vances of money ; but, a country that is na- |
turally so rich as this, has no need of being I
a beggar, after she has once established
peace. Peace would soon rejuvenate the
drooping and dying interests of this country,
and would bring in a very considerable
amount of foreign enterprise and capital;
and, with the increase of all branches of
industry, the revenues of the country would
soon exceed the wants of a liberal govern
ment, and at the same time admit of a great
reduction on the unjust duties from the
present tariff. Every one who at all knows
this countiy—its rich mines now worked,
besides those knovttn to exist, but which
have not been worked, on oeeount of the
insecurity of the country—its facilities lor
manufactures, its rich arable and grazing
lands, and its great demand for railroads,
which open fields for the most unlimited
speculation— must confess that a stable
government in Mexico would create a spir
it for business tiiat would surpass the most
brilliant periods in the history of California
or Australia,

| Cotton we regard a wy delicate p'aid.sitb
|-ject to ve% many cal untie in the progress
of i's production. It) ttie first place, it is
,ifi.important so prepare the land intended
| fop cott m early so t u Spring by UioKMigh
ly breaking up and ptiiv lizite* the - ‘
con-idlrrably in advance o*’ sowing time. —
Great car,- should be taken in placing t e
seed in the ground m stic’t quantities as ‘o
insure a stand. Early vvorkt gis regarded
as important so encourage tho glow it oi
tiie pia soon tiler it conns op, par it: y
thinning it out so hat the giowtii may not
be too much kepi back by too many pint is
being, crowded together. It is very diffi
cult to determine, after long experience,
what Sort of tillage is best for the cotton
plant. Our sea-on* are so changeable and
Uncertain, and oors. il so variant, that it is
almost impossible to give a uniform plan of
planting or ullage. We think, however,
that much depends upon a proper prep .ra
ion of the soil, and that the best mode ot
tillage, depends very much upon the seasons
and character of the soil. We think light
soils should be but tightly plowed—often
enough to keep the grass down and the
plant in good heart. Sits soil should be oc
casionally bioken op deep until your cotton
begins to branch, when we tit nk ligtit cul
tivation is best for ttie balance of the year.
