General Santa Anna came to enlist sympathy in behalf of tho Liberal cause. The Herald, though professing great Interest in tbe Mexican Republic, cannot forego a good opening for “pitching iu,” and takes occasion to overhaul the record of Santa Anna, iu which, only a year or two ago, he favored the cause of Maximilian, and thought the only hope for a stable government was “the substitution of a (.'.institutional Empire for that farce ouiled a Republic.” It is intimated by tho Herald that Maximilian refused to reward Bantu Annas overtures, by taking him into his coun sels, and the General now espouses the cause of the Liberals.

The Senate passed the West Point appropria tion bill. It contains a provision prohibiting the appointment of any cadet who served in the army or navy of the Confederacy. The Consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was also passed. The House resumed the consideration of the tax bill. A letter was received from Gen. Grant re. commending an increase of the regular army for the purpose of supplying t he places of those now going out of service. Grant aiso says that a Bmall military force is required in the States heretofore rebellions, and it cannot be foreseen that this force will not be required for some time to come. He hopes that this force will not be necessary to enforce the laws, but differences of sentiment engen dered by the war render the presence of the military necessary to give a feeling of security to the people. He thinks all peaceably dis posed classes of Southern people will concur in this view. Congressional. Washington, May 18.

A city warehouse was struck by lightning this afternoon, burning five hundred bales of cotton. Linoleum.—A substance is now manufactur ed from flaxseed called linoleum. It is said that it will supersede India rubber—which it very much resembles, and of which it possesses most of the properties—in the various manu factures in which it is used. Like_ India rub ber, it can be dissolved into a cement and used in the manufacture of water-proof cloth ing. If can be used for the coating of iron or wood, or for coating ship bottoms. It is as good as common cement, having properties similar to the marine giue made from India rubber and shellac. It is readily vulcanized by exposure to heat, and by this means be comes as hard as the hardest wood, and cap able of line polish. The variety of the uses to which it'can be applied in this form will at once suggest themselves to the reader. Hith erto it has been made solely to produce floor cloth, for-which it is well adapted. These tacts will doubtless be interesting to the Cana dian farmer, as in consequence of this new discovery, flax--for the successful culture of which (tie soil and climate of Canada are so well adapted— will probably become greatly enhanced in value. Consolidation op the Debt —The Journal of Commerce treats the proposed conversion of convertible 7-30’g into live per cent long bonds, as a species of repudiation, as the ex isting law promises something else. It prefers the plan already proposed to levy a national tax, equivalent to the extra interest, on all the government six per cent stocks or rather outstanding securities, and then to offer in their place the long five per cent bonds free from taxation. The Revenue Commission not ouiy advocate this policy, but Bubmit the draft of a law to carry it into effect. By this the creditors of government would be compelled' to hold existing securities subject to this dis crimihatifjg taxation, or surrender them for the new bonds issued with a pledge of entire freedom from all- taxations. But this plan is not in accord with the existing pledge and law, and is, therefore, so far objectionable. Struck Oil at Gadsden. —The Rome Courier of tho loth says : It is reported by .'the officers and passengers of the steamer Undine, which arrived at that place, on Friday of last week, that the Petroleum company, of which the Kev. Mr. Rogers, of Atlanta, is Director, struck oil near Gadsden, Alabama, in the early part of the week, at the depth of two hundred and forty feet. The rush of gas out of the well is 00 great that the hands cannot work but a fe* moments at a time without suffocation. The oil that is raised up is so much mixed with sand and water that the quality, or extent of the vain struck, is yet a matter of considera ble uncertainty. The parties interested are very sanguine in the belief that they will have a flowing well. The tubingjjfor the well will go down on the Undine to-day, and as soon as this can be inserted something more definite will he known. It is said that all the indica tions point tp a rich deposit of this great source of wealth. May the fondest hopes of the parties be realized The Trade op Boston.— Tne Boston Trav eler says tha‘, with the single exception of Portland, Maine, the entire commerce of New England centres id Boston. Opce Salem, Gloucester, Portsmouth, Newberryport, Provi dence and New Haven had an extensive com merce with India. South America, Africa and tho West ladies, but it has all departed. Once in two or three months a bark or brig from arrives at Salem, but that harbor is flow maiuly used for coal schooners and coasters in the summer time. Gloucester has not a sin gle square-rigged vessol left. The same paper says : “The Southern trade has completely collapsed, and hardly a single vessel is on its way hither from New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah or Charleston. Our people have as much cotton on hand as they care about holding, and wish the quantity lessen, ed rather than increased.” Secession in’ Tesxke3see.— General Cooper, one of the Committee sent by the East Tennes see Separation Convention to Nashville to bring the action of that body before the Legislature, reports that the project is not received with great favor. The scheme is be ing agitated by the people, but the prospect for the success of the movement is not very en couraging. The feeling of the people is repre sented to be decidedly in favor of adjusting the present unfortunate complications before any farther innovations are encouraged. The people feel that Congress might consent to ad. n>it them as anew State only on such con dition as they would he unwilling to comply with, but that having once voted to separate, they would be obliged to submit to any terms rather than give up the project. Packing a Jury. —A dispatch from Washing on to the Philadelphia Ledger, says : “Quite a number of Virginians, from the Northern portion of the State, who have been summoned as jurors for the Circuit Court of the United States, at Norfolk, -passed through the city yesterday. Tney are all men who have been noted for their adherence to the Union cause during the war." Why not bring down a jury from Massachu setts at once ? If the object is to convict Mr. Davis it would be more decent to try him before a military commission. COM M BRC [A L. WEEKLY iIEVISW OK THE AllilSl A MARKET FOR TITK WEEK ENDING MAT 19m. REMARKS.—Tho summer stagnation seems to be settiing down unon our market, and wu have little of interest to note in the commer cial operations of the week. The weather has been marked by heavy rains, which it is learned will prove very disastrous to wheat, 'ibis, to gether with the advance iu the West, has caused an advance of nearly a dollar a barrel in flour. Bacon is siiff with an advancing tendency. COTTON.—The unfavorable reports from the growing crop, both in this and the adjoin ing states, have increased the confidence of holders, in spite of the European advices, and onr market has advanced. On Monday and Tuesday of the current week very little was done, and we quoted middling 25c. strict mid dling 27c. On Wednesday there was a fair demand and sales were effected at 26c for middling. On Thursday nothing was done. On Friday there was a good demand with a further advance, and we quoted good midi ing at 30 cents.

At advance in New York,. has stiffened gold ‘here, and we report limited sales to brokers to-day at 128. Silver is dull, and remains as last reported—buying at 120 and selling at 125.

MACMURPHY, of Galveston, Texas, anil Miss HELEN J. COOPER, of this city. so luj aoTtotin. ttll&KD JUKY JEB'FERSON COUNTY.—We, the Grand Jurors selected for the May Term of the {Superior Court, beg leave to make the for owing Presentments: Peace ia ag.uu with us. but many of it 3 blessings have not accompanied it. In look'ng over our country, and l'l3'ening to the various reports as they come up to us, we are sorry that we cannot proclaim that ‘ail is well”—but we are thanklul tha 1 we are no worse olf than we are, while we ciimot predict our speedy return to prosperity. Yet we hope that * old times may c .me again.” We regret that we can devise no plan by which the sufferings cf our people can te a’deviated. We hear tne cry of distress as it comes up lrom the dwell'ng ofthe widowed and the orphaned, and the knowledge that we cannot “lend a helping hand,” but adds to the imensity of our grief. We would like to Cos much toward the education of the poor ; but can we? We have talked the matter over earatsTy among ourselves, but the unpleasant truth forces itself upon ua tha 1 poverty has entered all of our t oors, and that it la only by th e asjiataLce of a kind Piovkeuce that we can hope even in the course of time to stem the misfortunes which have poured in upon us. We are this ye.*r making an experimtm which may make or break us. ll successful, those who com: atter us wilj have ihe plt - sant task to perlorm of relieving the widow and educating 1 lie fa* herbs v We are moitilled to report that with a few exceptions, th Public lloadi of the county, are in a miserable condition. Grand Jury arc to a great extent, powerless in remedying the evil.- We can only point out the wrong and recommend th e remedy. The law has made it the duty of the Inferior Court to look after and supervise the important matter. They have not only the right to appoint, but the power to puniih, and they are but losing time and wasting paper when they appoint Road Commissioners, and fnil to s’e that they carry out the import ant endd for wli.ch they were appointed. We dohopetha tlie Court will at once investigate the matter, and save the Jury the unpleasant duty of listening to eo many corn* plaints, and of having to allude to the subject thus publicly. We know that farmers geneially plead hard times, the scarcity and inefficiency of laborers, but the pubHc interest must no; b 3 neglected, and especially ought this important matter to be attended to. The County Records were i ll destroyed when Uenyral fcher - man pvsred through this fcUte. What few are now in e xiste®c e we liud correct. The Couuty Treasurer reports no money. We are in need 01 a Jail. By the abecuce of oae, one of the means by which the law is made a terror to evil-doers is dene away with. We hope that some step will be speedily taken Toward the erection of this important building. We return our 1 beaks to His Honor, Judge Hook, for his usu'jl kind.css.
