the united STATES AND MEXICO.
bknf.wal of diplomatic intercourse.
Correspondence of the N. O. Picayune.
Pensacola, Nov. 20, 1845.
Messrs. Editors:—A special Minister to
Mexico arrived in this place yesterday and im
mediately despatched a messenger to Com.
Conner, at the navy yard.
In the evening the Commodore called upon
him, and, as I understand, offered him his
choice of the steamer Mississippi or the sloop
of war St. Mary’s, both of those vessels being
ready for sea-—to convey him down to Vera
Cruz. He preferred the sloop of war, and I
think his selection most apropos, lor with the
easterly winds row prevailing, she will run
down to Vera Cruz in five or six days to a cer
tainty.
Considerable doubts are entertained as to
w ho the Envoy is, and nothing has transpired
as yet to settle the question definitely. Some
say that it is Cornelius P. Van Ness, Esq., tho
former Collector of New Yo k ; others think it
the lion, some one else ,’ but whoever he may
be, he is now on his way to Veru Cruz, for the
St. Mary’s, Commander Saunders, got under
weigh immediately after he went on board, and
by 11 o’clock A. M. was entirely clear of the
harbor. In this you will readily perceive that
our Government has acted with the utmost
promptitude on receiving the intimation that
Mexico was inclined to negotiate, and we may
now hope for a speedy adjustment of all mat-
ters of difficulty with a nation from which we
could reap neither honor nor glory by going to
war. The Mississippi will be kept in readi.
uess for any further movements on the part of
our Government. I am, &c., MARINES.
Powers’ Greek Slave.—A foreign corres
pondent of the New York Mirror, who has seen
this work of Powers thus writes.
I havo seen it—and I want words to express
my admiration. It is so beautiful, so true, so
chaste. The treatment of the subject too is
admirable in detail. The figure, you areanrare,
is that of a young female; her manacled hands
reveal her enthralled condition—she is a slave!
while the classic lineaments of her calmly beau*
tiful face, and the adjuncts of her Greek cap
and drapery (arranged to form the support of
the figure) delicately but intelligibly announce
that she is the daughter of the
Clime of llie unfortunate brave
Whose land, from plain to mountain eave
Was freedom’s home, or glory’s gravel
The figure itself ri unencumbered wiih drapery;
the position is easy, natural, unrestrained ; the
face thoughtful, unimpassioned, (perhaps l*o
calm—that is, one might say so, if determined
to find some exception) the limbs exquisitely
moulded, perfectly proportioned, displaying
the perfection of female beauty in its greatest
delicacy, without the slightest atnance of gross-
ness. The disposal of the alight chain is most
Stappily conceived and executed, and materially
Assists the sentiment of pudeui that pervades
the composition. Indeed, the figure seems to
tbreathe an atmosphere of purity, and Vo be sur
rounded by a halo of virgin innocence; and
you gaze on the charms that the artist’s hand
lias revealed with feelings of reverence and ad
miration, wmmhtcd with a thought of earthly
passion. All the world acknowledges the
aculplor’s triumph.
Tux Daughter’s Reproof.—I once visited
ajpwor, miserable dwelling, when I heard a ve
ry bad man using wicked and cruel language to
itis wife, who was confined to her bed by ill
ness; it was fearful to see and hear him; and
l am sorry to say, 1 had not the courage to
speak to him—I actually trembled with horror
and drend. But u little sick girl, about eleven
years of age and was dying of n consumption,
went up to the angry man, and laid h<’r small,
■emaciated hand upon his arm, and looked right
op in his face, and said, “ Father, don’t speak
-so, God hears all we say; pray don’t speak so,
’father.” She ottered these few words with
such tender .earnestness, and such loving gen
tleness, that liter feeble, trembling voice touch
ed the heart .eff the angry man, and lie was si.
lent ior a.moment and then he said, “ I w»i| do
anything that child tells me to do, for she’s nn
angeir* His fierce nature was subdued ; good
ness and love had made this little child one of
God’s ministering angels to her wicked father.
Oregon.—Mr. Clay, when Secretary of
State, iu 1826, wrote to Mr. Gallatin, then our
minister at the English Court, that "Great Bri
tain could not make out even a tolerable title to
any portion oj the north west coast P And
yet the very papers that are now favoring the
English views of the Oregon question, support
ed Mr. Clay for the Presidency! Had he
been elected, the right to Oregon would have
been stoutly maintained, no one can doubt; and
what would have been tho position then of these
grumbling editors ? So on the Texas question
—the very ground they take, opposition to Tex
as on account of slavery, lit says is untenable,
and that slavery has nothing to do with the
question ! Yes, and in the event of Mr. Clay’s
election, we should have heard nothing from
these men iu opposition to his views on these
questions. It is all fictitious and hollow, and is
intended as an embarrassment of the adminis
tration.
Hon. John C. Calhoun was in this place
on Saturday last, on his way home from the
Memphis Convention. While here, he recei
ved intelligence of his election to the U. S.
Senate, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Judge Huger.—Athens Danner,
idiast.
Raleigh aid Gaston. Rail Roads.—The
Raleigh “Star” of the 19lh inst. says: We un
derstand there is a strong possibility that the
Stale will be overbid fur the Raleigh and Gas-
toh Rail Road, which is to be sold on the 29th
December, with the view of connecting it with
the S. C. Road.
THE BOUNTIFUL WEST.
A run westward upon the rail road and
along the line of the canals enabled us to see
and, to some extent to realize the abundant and
abounding agricultural resources of the West.
The quantity of four coming forward is beyond
all precedent. The canal is taxed to its utmost
capacity with bo its. An intelligent forward
er, who has been constautly upon die tow.part
for the last fifteen years, and who knows pretty
accurately the extent of the means for remov
ing property, and with whom we travelled on
Monday, gave it as his opinion that there was
then at least tieo hundred thousand barrels of
flour uijoat between Buffalo and Albany. He
counted, within tlie distance of ten miles cast
of Utica, seventy-five boats, seventy-three of
•vh'-ch were loaded wholly or io part with flour.
Every thing in the shape, form, orsemblane of
a canal-boat lias been set in motion. An cn-
terprisitig miller at Rochester, foreseeing the
exigency that occurred, purchased an acre of
old scows (hat lay sunk in the basin, and now
has a dozen of them employed is the transporta
tion of flour. The weather con'inues mild,
and there is reason to suppose that the canal
will continue navigable for a week or two
longer*—Albany Journal.
Solid Ikon.—Vermont is becoming very
rich in minerals. An immense mass of solid
iron has just been discovered nLng the base o
the Green Mountains, between Monktown and
Benniugton. Hitherto iron has been obtained
there only in detached fragments; now it is
blasted out in large quantities by the miners
It is found in regular solid beds, iuterstra’.ificd
with rock, and generally reposing on limestone
rocks. It is thought to be co-cxicusivc with
the rock, and inexhaustible. This is a valuable
discovery; and, in the hands of the enterpri
sing Vermonters, will soon tender Vermont
a large iron manufacturing Stale,
The New York Commercial, in an article on
the subject of the mania for getting suddenly
rich by Rail Road Slock speculations, which
now prevail! so universally through England,
says:
“But the most striking and significant proof
that we have yet seen of this mere money wor
shipping spirit, and one withal not a little curi
ous, is afforded in the enormous subscriptions
lliat have been made for the purpose of bestow-
ing a "testimonial” upon a certain Mr. George
Hudson—not long since a linen-draper at York,
but now a member of Parliament, a proprietor
of rail-way shares innumerable, and a million,
aire of absolutely gigantic proportions. Wo
have read of estates conferred upon men for
eminent public services—of pensions, large
gifts in money, sets of jilnte aiul other desira
ble things awarded, fur instance, to a Welling-
on, a Nelson, a Metcalfe and a I*ottinger;—but
tt certainly is something new under the suu to
iread of a testimonial, procured by a subscrip
tion of thirty-thousand pounds sterling, as a to
ken of public regard for a man who has done
nothing more than possess himself, in a very
short time, of an enormous fortune. Yet such a
subscription has been made in England; and the
splendid “testimonial, * probably in divers ves
sels of wrought gold, is to glitter upon the side
board of Mr. George Hudson—a testimonial, as
the subscription paper declares, of admiration
for his energy, perseverance and self-devotion,
Mr. Hudson’s wealth we have not seen spe
cified; but the papers have told us of princely
estates recently purchased by him at pi-ices va
rying from 20,000 to 150,000 pounds sterling!
the hereditary possession of Dukes, Earls and
Marquises have gone to swell the immense
bulk of his domains, and he bids fair soon to
rival, in territorial ownership, the Bedfords _
Westminsters and Northumberlands who can
boast of possessions more extensive than some
of the continental principalities. The means
of acquiring these vasr estates have been made
bis in a few months of dating speculation, favor
ed by the most extraordinary good fortune;
the modest linen-draper of yesterday now
speaks with the voice potential of two or three
millions sterling in the national council, and his
admirers call upon the world to reverence his
“self-devotion!”

A Fallen Angel.—A French paper si*’es,
that tho Berlin house of correction includes
among its numerous guests, a woman who for
merly occupied a brilliant position in society.——
This unfortunate one, an ex-»o ig>treM of great
■celebrity, was formerly a prima donna at sev
eral of llie first theatres of Italy and Germany,
and the belle of the fashionable watering places
where, with a large fortune, she indulged in a
■Style of luxury that ruined her husband, (a su
perior officer belonging to the nobility) aijd en
ded by cngulphing herself in the vortex, "I his
woman, formerly so sought after and caressed,
fell a victim to xke degrading vice of drunken
ness. Found helplessly intoxicated in tlie
streets, without any home, or means of exis
tence, she was picked up by the police, and
cent to the house of correction.
Which ix the most perfect popular Govern
ment!—* That,’ said Bias, ‘where the laws
have no superior.* ‘That,’ said Thales, ‘where
the inhabiiants are neither too rich nor too
poor.’ • That,’said Annchar-sis, the Scythian,
’where virtue is honored and viee detested.’
‘That,’ said Pittacus, ‘whose dignities are al
ways conferred upon the virtuous, and never
upon the base.’ ’That,’ said Clcobulus, ‘where
the citizens fear blame more than punishment.’
‘That,’ said Chilo, ’where the laws are more
regarded than the orators,’ ‘But that,’ said
Solon, * wUeno an injury done to the meanest
Subject, is an insult to the whole community.’
A Futbxx State.-—It is a beautiful concep
tion of the Indians, and one that illustrates that
pervading belief in the human mind, ol nn exis
tence hereafter, of happiness or misery, that
leads them to fill the graves of their warriors
with all their effects, in the firm belief that they
«r« to rove the “spirit land” beneath the smile
or anger of ihg great Mauilou, In many of
the tribes it is customary, after the burial, to
bring forth the steed of the deceased, and kill
it, standing over the grave, that it may be ready
for him to mount at the last day. An incident
of this kind took place in Alexandria, Louisiana,
A few days since, where, says, the ‘Democrat,*
published in that place, ** all the wordly effects
of the departed savage, including his rifle, shot,
fouch and skins—even a mare and colt belong-
jog to him—were deposited with his remains
iu the tomb, to be carried with him, according
10 the romantic faith of his ancestors, to the
sunny hunting-grounds and floral valleys pre
pared beyond ihe grave by the "Great Spirit,”
for tho reception of the good and virtuous, or
•he bleak and barren deserts and icy hills, pre
pared for the punishment of the depraved and
ricious.”
The latest Parisian fashion is for the ladies
0 dress entirely blue. Ladies go 10 the ihea-

From the N. O. Jrjfcrsonian,
BEAUTIES OF THE TARIFF,
We have had many delightful pictures of
Lowell, the brag,spot of tlie Boston Colton
mauufaciurers, but the N. Y. Morning News
gives the following new account of the condi-
dilion of the female operativesemployed there.
It is a thousand times worse than negro slave
ry in its most aggravated form.
"The board of the girls h jobbed out by the
factory agents like feeding so many cattle, and
they receive their wages clear of board from
the factories. Generally speaking, the board
thev g* t for ilia miserable factory allowance of
seventeen cents per day, board and lodging,
is such that a Southern negro would turn up
his nose at. The Tribune is right, however, in
that, if the board is advanced tJ»e operative must
lose the amount. A girl now goes into the
factories, and is confined fourteen hours, in an
atmosphere so hot that her clothes are drench
ed in perspiration in the coldest days of win
ter. In this state of heat they must run from
the mill to the Jwuse *o a scanty ineaj, provided
for the allowance of five cents, and back to the
mill in a given time. Tlie severe labor, con
stant exposure, the flying lint collecting on the
lungs, and other hardships, throw numbers in
to consumption; many have spine complaint,
showlders grown out, and other deformities.—
For all this they received, clear of board, in
1845, thirty-three cents per day. This has,
under the present tariff, been put down to twen
ty-nine cents per day ; and if tlie boarding
house keepers demand higher board, a fuithor
| reduction must take place, because the girls
are the complete slaves of factories. Every
year numbers are discharged by improvements
in machinery, and the discharged hands are
compelled to work for any price to get bread.”
REFINEMENT.
Little do those whose sensations have been
refined by civilization—comprehend tlie depth
and the breadth of that gulf which separates
them from those of a lower condilion and ruder
habit. Those who only observe the inferior
classes of society while under the influence
of restraint such as the presence of their supe
riors invariably imposes, can form little idea
of the grossness and the coarsness of their com-
munications with each other—or how in the
very tone of the voice, the forms of expression,
even the mode of pronunciation when released
from that influence, something may be detec
ted painful and offensive to a purer taste. These
things may be thought trifles, but trifles as
they may be, are perhaps sufficient to prove
that the distinctions of society are not merely
arbitrary.
Church of St. Paul's in Richmond, (Va„)
lately built, it is said, will vie in size and beau
ty with uny in the Southern or Middle States.
Itis almost an exact copy of St. Luke’s In
Philadelphia,—is well placed in full sight of
the capitol, and commanding a splendid view
ofthe romantic islands, and far levels of James’
River. The building cost $55,000. It is 67
feet front, by 11J feet deep. The portico con
sists of 10 columns. Tlie lower and the stee
ple together, m ike the entire height 225J feet
from the ground.
Somebody says, that persons who are always
cheerful and good humored are very useful in
the world ; they maintain peace and happiness,
and spread a thankful temper amongst nil who
live around them.
A hint to the Ladies.—It is better to please
but one person with the natural countenance,
than a thousand by painting.
Tho Editors of tho Mobile Herald and Tri
bune makes the followind reflection oa human
life.
If a man sleep eight hours out of tlie twenty-
four, one third of Iiis life is lost; if ten more
are spent in labor, but six arc left for needful
rccrealion, and the cultivation of the mind.
Deduct from this, one hour, which is moderate,
or absolute annoyance, arising from tho thou,
sand events which are the scorpions horn of
every day. and less than ane-fifili of life is given
io unalloyed enjoyment. This is a calculation
than a man, sick of the world and contempla
ting self-destruction, would make to fortify
himself for tho fatal act. Yet man clings with
fearful tenacity to life—and the greatest of hu
man pangs, is that which animates them ail.
Port of Entry.—Rochester begins to pijt
on a lively appearance of shipping interests,
and will shortly become an important commer
cial, as it is a trading city. Thu last arrivals
are chronicled as follows :—steamer America,
from Toronto and Coburg; steam-propeller
from Oswego ; the brig Empire, from Oswego;
