To muiniu n the char actor of the work as an interesting add aullren tic Sporting Journal, and, if possible, to elevate it. and give to its contents additional value, is the sole design of the Editor. No material change is contemplated, save in the mechanical part of the paper, and in this particular the editor believes that the Spirit of lire Times will bear a compari son with the most elegant periodicals in the country. The present, like the preceding volume, will contain a complete American Racing Calendar, for the current year.

To relieve the paper from the monotony which might he objected to, if Sporting Intelligence t lonned the exclusive object of attention, a large space will be devoted each week to the affairs of the Diama, and to the light and elegant Litera ture. The interestsot the American and English Stage are so closely and inseparably connected that we shall, as heretofore, take cognizance of ’ both.

And to give zest to the whole, the editor will aim to crowd into his columns alt the fun and frolic of the town, the good things of his friends, and the best jokes of his brother editors. In fine, he hopes to make his paper tho gayest and liveliest in the w, rid; yielding to none in the character of its gleanings (rom elegant literature, hut resting its claims for support mainly upon the Sporting Department, which will he made as valuable and omprobensiva as labor and expense can make it.

Martin Tan B i ren, for example, will linve been found ■ first by the creation of a great Bank power connected with politics, to have secured and corrupted for himself the chiefSiale of a great Republic,—and after he had mounted the Ex ecutive throne on that hobby, to have kicked that from under his feet, and upon its tuins and the ruins of the commerce of the country with them, to have sought the creation of a Government Sub-Treasury Bank, all whose officers were to be bis own, —appointed at his will and t-moveable at Ins pleasure In the process of that conspiracy will be marked as curiositiespolilicdl, the ways and means of operation. A National Bank created by Con gress for example, will have been prostrated, in the cry, that the State Banks were belter than it, —and the Stale Banks will have been prostrated in the cry, that no Banks were ne cessary,—hard money—gold and silver—Rag Barons, — Aristocracy!

Vet he even declares the affectation ol virtue to be 'useful to Princess.” The subjection of tbo people ia what Sir. Van Bnren is after, —and reckless of the means of obtaining it, —he mocks at the pre sent calumny of millions, —but all the while ho affects to be useful to these millions, and puts in the show ot virtue, while be is ampli fying all the engines of corruption.

Exchanges. — ln relation lo the difficulty of making remittances to the North, the Louisville Evening Herald makes the following remarks. There is at present great embarrassment among our business men, for want of Eastern Exchanc gcs. Not one of our Banks are drawing, nor can Eastern funds be procured elsewhere; many have been compelled lo remit Kentucky and other pa per at a great loss, to Philadelpha and New-York to meet their payments in thosa places. From tie A T . O. Dee, Oseola —Tlio death of this celebrated duet has now rendered his life and actions matter for future history. Every description of his person or anecdote of his exploits will be perused with the interest which naturally attaches to a character like his. It seems that in tine barbarian were mingled many of tho elements of civilized, with teveral of the prominent features of savage life. That he fully possessed the bravery common to his race is admitted by all, but his courage was tempered with cauth it, and unpolluted with the inexorable ferocity that forms so distinc tive a characteristic in the Aborignes of America. His career though brief, develo ped a maturity of intellect rarely encounter ed in the Indian, and he will be hereafter remembered in common with the Tec uni.sell and other savage warriors who have played conspicuous parts in the history of our coun try. We have lately perused with considerable gratification a sketch of the person and character ' ‘ooC! her with a recital of some of the most daring f Ob'ola, in a work descriptive of a deeds o. -'- r jJ a by M M Cohen, an officer campaign in t »>• a ,,i #n eye witness of in the army .Ithe urn., . The cnlire the scenes related in Inc boo.. . ___ pioduction is written with much ele b , , felicity of style, and contains important ano in * I terreating information on the subject of the Flor idian tribes, whose cunning and superior saga city have so long baffled the efforts of the gov ernment to compass their entire subjugation. The observations of Oceola are particular eloquent and pleasing, and the work itself embodies no ordinary attraction.
