We find in the New York Journal of Com merce the following account of the battle of San Jacinto, and republish it, not because we believe it correct, but on account of the interest which is felt in every thing said upon the subject. We do not believe that Gen. Houston had a reserve of 600 men, near enough to the scene of action to have come to his relief in case of repulse, j'licre ate several other statements manifestly errone ous— From a Correspondent in Mississippi. I BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO. The true account of the battle of San Jacinto, and the exquisitely conducted system ofstratc gicks by which Santa Anna was brought to ac tion just at that place and point of lime, is yet unwritten. A mutual friend holds Houston’s promise to have one from his own pen, which I shall not fail to transmit to you by the new ex press mail, which, by the way, looks a little like your old “ black poney.” I have a few authentic particulars which I have never seen in print. Houston had, in fact, a corps tie reserve of six hundred men, so that had ho failed at the moment, of forcing the Mexican intrenchments, the final result could not have been widely different. Gen. Houston’s rations for two days preceding the battle had been but a single oar o corn, and his health was bad, he had refrained from eating that; so that he had the two days’ rations of a Major General in the Tex- , ian army in his pocket during toe engagement, and showed it to some Spanish officers after it was over. When every filing was ready for the battle, the Texians being drawn up under the shelter of one of those patches of wood that float like islands in the midst of the vast prairies, while the Mexi cans wore intrenched but live hundred yards dis tant in tho open plain, the Texian band of music played, byway of callenge to the Mexicans, the air “Oh come to the bower I have shaded for you!” But it was no come! Houston then mounted on a largo elegant black horse, rode a long the lino with tho air of one who had already conquered, and encouraged his men in his low, deep, and peculiarly calm lone of voice, saying, “ boys, the day is our own !” He then rode fifty yards in front and gave the word to come on. The music struck the favorite, “Yankee Doodle,” and Houston’s force stopped »ut in a single line, the men standing about four feet apart. Imagine a cool, intrepid body of six hundred, stepping out of the shadows of the oaken copse, wary & hillhc in their movements ns tho panthers ere they spring upon their prey. At every flash of the Mexican artillery Houston’s entire lino would bo seen prostrate on the ground until the copper hail storm had passed over, when they would rise to their feet and advance again. Every Tex ian, at his first lire, singled out his man, and three hundred Mexicans fell dead; tho second fne brought down three hundred more. Then soun ded the fearful cry, uttered in dreadful and al most unearthly tones of voice, Remember the AlamoM which was soon feebly answered by tho imploring and deploring and deprecating cry of “Me no Alamo ! me no Alamo 1” During the whole of the battle the Mexican officers behaved in a dastardly manner, standing behind their sol diers, urging them on, while they wore the lirsl to fly. There were exceptions —the bravo com mandant of the Mexican artillery was shot down at his post, and his body fell across a cannon. It is rather remarkable that Gen. Houston bad often visited the battle field before it was crim soned with blood, and had often expressed his wish to purchase the lovely spot for bis residence. r Tuo battle raised the price of the land so much that portions of the battle field have sold Within a few weeks for twent dollars per acre. With regard to the fertility of Texas lands I will only slate what I have on the highest authori ty as a tact. On the Colorado, on some planta tions desolated by war, so that neither plough, nor spade, nor hoe, has been used upon them for the last 13 months, cotton has been gathered within the last month, which took seed trom the droppings of last year’s crop, and has turned out from 1600 to 3000 pounds ti.the acre. On culti vated plantations on the Cancy 4100 have been gathered to the acre. You arc probably aware that next to the Sea Island the Texas cotton bears the highest price in market. Natchez, Dec. 39, 1836. G. V. H. MEXICAN ANECDOTE. The following is extracted from a work of con siderable interest, which has just been published, entitled The Rambler in Mexico, by Charles Jos. Latrobe; — In an Indian village, far to the norrh, say the Indians, there lived in the old Spanish times a padre, a man of simple and retired habits; who laboured to convert, and maintain the inhabitants in the Catholic faith. He was beloved by the simple tribes among whom ho was domesticated, and they did not fail to prove their good will by frequent presents of such ttifles as they found were agreeable to him. They say that he was a great writer; and occa sionally received from the Indians of his parish a small quantity of finely colored dust, which he made use of to dry his sermons and letters.— Knowing how much the padre loved writing, they seldom returned from the mountains without bringing him some. It happened that once upon a time, he had occasion to write to a friend of his living in tho capital; who was a jeweller, and did not fail to use his sand box. In returning an answer, his knowing friend, to his great surprise, bantered him with his great riches, seeing that $ he dried the very ink on his paper with gold dust! This opened the simple padre’s eyes. He sent for his Indian friends, and without divulging his newly acquired knowledge, begged them to gel him more of the fine bright sand. I hey, nothing doubting did so. The demon of avarice began to whisper into the old man s ear, and warm the blood of his heart. He begged for more and re ceived it —and then more dll they had furnish ed him with several pounds weight. All entrea i ty that they would show him the locality where f this bright dust wasgathe red, was resisted with ' calmness and steadiness for a long lime. Al ternate cajoling and rnenance were employed with equally as bad success. At length, wearied out, they said that as they l ived him, and saw he was disturbed in his mind they would yield to his desire and show him the spot, on the condition that be submitted to be led to and from the place blindfold. To this he greedily consented, and i was in course of lime taken upon their shoulders and carried, whither he knew not, by many de vious ways up and down mountains and bar ranca, for many hours into the recesses of the cordillera, and there, in a cave through which a stream issued from the breast of the mountain, they set him down and bound him. They there showed him quantities of the gold dust intermin gled with large lumps of virgin ore, while their spokesman addressed him, saying: ‘Father, we have brought you here at your urgent request, because we loved you ; take now what you want to carry away with you—let it bo as much as you can carry, for here you must never hope to come again; you will never persuade us more !’ The padre seemingly acquiesced, and after disposing as much of the precious metal about his person as he could contrive to carry, he submitted to be blindfolded, and was again taken in the arms of the Indians to bo transported home. The tradi tion goes on to relate how the good cure, upon whom 'he cursed lust of gold had now seized thought to outwit his conductors by untying his rosary and occasionally dropping a bead on the earth. 1 If he flattered himself that any hope existed of I his being thus able to tread the blind maze though which he passed, and find the locality, one may I imagine his chagrin, when once more arrived and i , sct l,invll at his own door, the first sight which , met hls uncovered eyes was the contented lace of , one of his Indian guides, and an outstretched r hand, containing in its hollow tho greater part of the grains of his rosary; while the guileless tongue of the finder expressed his simple joy at . having been enable to restore such a sacred trea t sure to tho discomlitted padre. Eiltreatics and tlneats were now employed in vain. Gentle as the Indians were, they were not ; to be bent. Government was apprised of the cir cum stances, and commissioners were sent down • to investigate the affair. The principle inhabit ants were seized, and menace being powerless, torture, that last argument of the tyrant, was re sorted to, but not a word could bo wrung from them! Many were put to death; still their breth ren remained mute; the village became deserted under the systematic persecution of the oppressors. The most careful researches ropes tedly made from time to time by adventurers in search of the rich depesite, have all resulted in disappointment: and to this day all that is known is that, some where in the recesses of those mountains lies the gold mine of Da Navidad. From the New Orleans Courier. MEXICO—TEXAS—SANTA ANNA. An intelligent veteran in the cause of jurispru dence and revolutionary struggles, and one who has warmly and generally advocated the cause of Texas, at least up to the present period, se verely, and apparently with justice, cen urcs the avowed reasons put forth by the Texians for , tho manner in which Santa Anna has been liber- j aled conditionally, and despatched to Washing ton. Hls arguments are feasible, and may sug- ' gost many reductions to those connected with Mexico and Texas, as well as those who desire ' that the national honor of the American Union 1 should be preserved pure and spodcss. 1. As all the fundamental laws of the Mexican Constitution ot 1834, which were not specially repealed by tho central I’ronunciamento, or form of government, arcsttll in full force, Santa Anna may now actually be said to have abandoned or ' abdicated his presidency i for it is distinctly cn- 1 acted that no Mexican President shall enter a for- * eign country without terminating his presidency. c Santa Anna is, therefore, no longei President of : Mexico, for his having come into the United Slates. 3. Even if ho were president, he has no au- s thority to originate or effect a treaty with any 1 power except with the previous consent and op- a proval of the Cohgress of Mexico. 3. None of his acts, as treaties, are obligatory * or national, without the sign confirmatory of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. 4. The Constitution of Mexico expressly pro- 1 hibits the disraeniberment of any portion of that ' republic without the consent of the States taken * separately by vote; so that a treaty to recognize the independence or dismemberment of Texas ! could not be valid on the nation at large, accord ing to the present laws,evert were the formor con- ‘ ditions complied with, unless the sanction of tho * separate States be also given. 5. The Mexican Congress lately declared that no act of Santrt Anna would be considered bind- ‘ ing, so long as he was out of Mexico, or under restraint. It is evident that Santa Anna is still in duress, virtually, if not actually ; for being lib- r crated conditionally, on going under an escort as a guard, to Washington, to ask the mediation of a the United Stales Government, cannot be con- * sidcred legal and uncontrolled freedom. 6. Neither Santa Anna nor General Jackson ! have the right internationally to originate troa- 1 ties without the proper credentials, specifying 1 their powers and the place »f rendezvous. 7. The Mexican people can no longer believe 1 in tho neutrality of the United Slates Govern- 1 merit, alter this open and avowed determination I to interfere for Texas, by absolutely sending for' ® Santa Anna, to cajole or compell his apparent or ‘ real sanction to its independence. The Mexi- s cans may with justice construe this conduct in- 11 to a breach of treaty of amity with our Govern- v ment, particularly should an attempt be made to 1 give any definite result, to what may bo wrought 1 out Os the hopes or fears of Santa Anna, who is 1 still virtually a prisoner, and actually no longer i a president. Our Mentor considers the whole transaction as mercenary and sordid ; and that the desire of gain in the Texian Cabinet has overcome pro priety ofjudgment. That Cabinet has arrogated - both legislative and judicial function. He be lieves that Santa Anna was to have been con sidered a culprit, to bo tried, not a prisoner of war, to bo liberated on parole. Had he been tried and condemned, the Executive ofTexas i might have exercised tho pardoning power of a t Government, and commuted tho sentence into ( one of perpetual banishment from Texas, under pain of death; and thus have disabled him from 1 heading any invading aimy. He conceives that it would haVc been prefera ble to have so acted; because, by .pardoning the , culprit, when tried, the character of the Texian , Government would be elevated in the eyes of the ( world; because, by sending him at once onward to Mexico, ho might recover his presidency, at I least for the unexpired period, which he has now actually forfeited ; and because, should he be en abled to fulfil all the obligations which might be ( exacted from him by Texas, be could, at least, bo enabled to produce a diversion in its favor, by 1 opposing tho Spanish parly, now dominant in 1 Mexico, and so turn the attention and resources ] of the Mexican authorities and people homeward to their own more immediate eontests leaving Texas at liberty to organize her government, for- ( tifv her frontiers, and populate her districts. J —■ r Slavery in America.—-During the last week, Mr. Geu. Thompson, the abolitionist, has been lecturing in Manchester. Wo petecive from * the report of one of these lectures in the , Manchester Guardian, that the Abolition cause is making rapid progress in America. We extract the following: “There are 700 1 1 societies, 64 lecturers on emancipation, and j 1 the National Society are in treaty tor 10 more. 1 • Instead ol there being here and there a rnin : igter on the side of abolition, afraid to show 1 himself, fearing that his church might eject 1 1 him, there are now 2001) ministers of every de- ' ■ nomination, in its favor. There are 150 I ' newspapers which, if not exclusively devoted I to tho cause, yet entertain sound views on the ‘ 1 subject. At one meeting of the anti-slavery ' 1 society at Charleston, South Carolina, 15,000 ' [ dollars wore collected.” Tae foregoing is from a recent English pa- • p.-r and wo copy it io show tho credit due to ' ' tne statements of the abolitionists; for this is ! but an average specimen of their reckless i . mendacity. Was them over a more tlmce < 1 sudden liar than this George I hompsonl Was , falsehood so egregiously clumsy us tins ever f uttered 1 Fifteen thousand dollars raised atari - anti-slavery meeting in Charleston, S. C. 1 • We do not suppose that Manchester plnlan , thropists know whether South Carolina is in i , Charleston or Charleston in South Carolina, > or even whether both of them are m Massa ■ chusetts or Nova Zambia, but Thompson r bnew well enough where Charleston is. and 5 he knew too thatbe could just as safely es ’ tablish a powder house in the cralt rol Moun 1 Altna as hold an “Anti-Slavery meeting m 1 that city. He knew ho was uttering a false -3 hood of fathomless depravity, hut a thief such 3 as he is proved to be. will of course l.e-no 5 axiom is better established. It is certainly a 1 little singular, however, that men pretending r to regard the moral obligations of life should f give their money and their countenance to i such crertures. 2000 cfergymen too. are out for abolition I This was really falsehood , enough for one harangue, without being coup e led with the — Anti-Slavery meting in Char lesion.—y.

I Pilots. —Werecommend totliesolemn con sideration of the Pilots of tiiie Port the account , of the awful shipwreck of the barque Mexico, and the appalling loss of lives in sight of the ; harbor, we may say, and for which they stand ! accountable. If a house is in flames there has been no want of generous and daring spirits to rescue its sleeping inmates ; It a person (alls into the water, there are those who will plunge in to save him ; humanity is a bright feature in our national character; how is it that the Pilots shall know that vessels tilled with help less passengers, who are invited to our hospi table shores, are firing guns and making sig nals for their aid, and yet they heed them not and almost, we are about to say, see the ves sel strike on the rocky beach, and the unfor tunate strangers sink into tho deep bosom ol the occari. What do the Pilots want 1 They have the law—they have the monopoly—they have their Own rates of pilotage, a corrupt Legisature for political purposes have shut out all kind of competition, and placed the lives of crews and passengers in their hands. Why not spare this terrible loss of life I Do they want more money ! Give it to them. Do they want more privileges I Let them have them. Any thing to tempt them to do their duty. Something must he done and that prompt ly, or vssels will go into Porte vthnro there are Pilotx who do not shrink from performing their duty. The Remedy.—Let all the Marine Insur ance Companies unite and have two powerful steam ships built, well equipped, ami on the appearance of bad weather put to sea with a number of Pilots on board, and thus relieve every vessel on the coast. Never mind the cost. It must be done hero as it is done in England.— N. Y. Evening Slur. From a New Ydrk paper. IMPORTANT TO NAVIGATORS. Wc have received a communication from one of our most respectable ship masters, in reference to tlie erroneous statements as to the depth ot wa ter on the Long Island shore, made by the Dritish consul, in his account ot the disastrous wreck of the brq. Mexico, which are calculated to mis lead navigators who place confidence in them. In the statement referred to, it is asserted in sub stance that the depth of water in fathoms, shows tho distance from the shore in miles: That is, if a vessel be in 300, 100, SO or 10 fathoms of water, she is so many respective miles from land. This is altogether incorrect, and if acted upon will prove fatal to the passengers and crews of many vessels. As an example of die inaccuracy ot this state ment, we need only refer to the simple fact, which is well known to every experienced naviga tor out of this port, that at five miles distant from Long Island shore, off Rockaway, there arc thir teen fathoms water, and to the eastward ot Fire Island, at the same distance from the beach, there are eighteen fathoms; that the water shoals very gradually till within a mile of the breakers, where ten fathoms have been found. But, according to the consul’s statement, with that depth of water, a vessel ought to be ton miles from tho shore. As the facts here stated are of great importance to navigators, we would respectfully suggest their rcpublication by our contemporaries. In connection with this subject we may as well allude to a former practice of tho telegraph keep er at Sandy Hook, which lias been discontinued. Wo refer to his custom of reporting when the pilot boats were not on their stations. On mak ing inquiry on this subject, wo have ascertained that on a certain night durnig tho last summer, the telegraph building was broken open by some unprincipled villians, who destroyed the signals, broke the telescope, and did other damage to the premises. This will readily account for too ab sence of any more reports as to the whereabout ol the pilots. ” Under these circumstances wc would suggest that a sum of money be raised by our merchants, snfllccnt to supply the telegraph keeper with such signals and other articles as he may re quire, to resume his good old custom of daily re porting the position of the pilot boats. We will then be able to ascertain who are the delinquents. CHRONICLE AND SRNTINHL. ' AUG US TAT VneMduy livening, Jan. 17, 1837. MEXICO AND TEXAS. Wc furnish our readers to-day with some nows ofintorost from Mexico and Texas. It is a mat ter of doubt whether the invading army over cn teis Texas, but if it ever docs, there is no doubt of its fate. Wo have no news of iccent date from N. York, up to Jan. 11, being the latest. There had been no very recent arrivals from England; dates to the 26th Nov, front Liverpool, being yet the la test. A gcntlematjnst from Millodgoville informs ns that all the counties had been heard from hut 13 and that Col. Alford is upward of 3000 votes a head Liddell. There is no sort of doubt of his c- Icction by a handsome and decided majority. On Tuesday next, the Races over the Lafayette Course near this place commence. There arc al ready a number of fine horses here. (Correspondence of the Morning t 'hrtmir.le.] MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE NEWS ROOMS, New Oiu.ea.ns, Jan. 9,18.30. Genti.emen: We have advices from Matamoras td the 3d inst. Business was very dull, and very little doing with the interior. Tho garrison is a bout 2500 strong, tinder tiie command of Gen. Armador —they are said to be in a miserable condition for want of pay, &c. The Mexi cans seem determined to re-enter Texas with a force of about 5000 men, and nothmgwas to prevent it; but the want of money, winch I tear will. Several of the officers have protest ed against marching to Texas until their ar rearages weto paid up. Great exertions were "making to uphold the discipline ot the army. 1 received a letter, dated Matamoras, Jan. 2d. which states that they are shooting the soldiers almost, every day for robberies. | 1 was shot yesterday, 2 to-day, and 3 more condemned; also a woman was under sentence of death, for killing her husband, an officer. They expect to enter Texas with an army of 8000 men. General Bravo, the commander-in-clnot, is on his way tor Texas, with about 4000 men. Ho is encamped at a place called Monterry, about 200 miles from Matamoras. He docs not intend to march via Matamoras. He had a troublesome march, having been obli <rcd to shoot live officers and several privates, f„‘r mutiny, and, being unable to procued far ther than Monterry with his army, had left in person for Matamoras. General Bustimenta, from Pans, and the minister plenipotentiary of the Mexican gov- j eminent to the United Slates, both arrived in j the city of Mexico, about the 15th ult. | About the sum of $500,000 in specie arri ved hero during the week, from Tampico and Matamoras. January 10. The Congress of Texas have adjourned to j Ist April next, when they were to meet again at the new city of Houston, near Galveston j Bay, at which lime the result of the negotia- I i t i o i, for aimexmenl to the United States will have been ascertained. They have passed ; resolutions authorising the President to ac , cept any number in his discretion not exceed ing forty thousand volunteers, for two years or as long as he may deem proper. Col. Austin died at Columbia, on the 28th ult. The army is encamped hear La Be/.ar, and General llouston has gone down to re view it. Several people from Texas arrived here yesterday, fertile purpose of purchasing ma terials for building houses in the new city of Houston. I). G. Burnett, Blsq. ex-president ofTexas arrived here yesterday. Perhaps there is as much business doing here with Texas as there is with Mexico. Several ves sels have sailed during the week and there are ten more loading with merchandise and provisions for Texas. I FROM MEXICO. Tho dates front the city of Mexico are to the 3d Dec. but afford nothing important, and the ex tracts given in the Gazette of Santa Anna do Tamaulipas furnish no news. The schooner Ringleader, which led Tampico the Dili, brings letters which mention a conspi racy to overturn the central government; on which pretext a number of persons were arrested, among whom were many natives of Havana, ami a portion of the troops of Ihc garrison. The con spiracy was to explode on the night of the 14th. It ap Dears Irom the two proclamations of the commandant of Tamaulipas that there were some attempts to cfl’oct a rising at Tampico, and that many ar.’csts wore made. This is all wo can make out from the interminable phraseology in which the party aro involved—here is a sentence which W‘s have endeavored to translate: “Tlie most infamous plan that the criminal minds of the conspirators could invent, and which had for its objects tho rc-cstablishmcnt of the odi ous system which Ihc people of the country bad annihilated;!” (the federal system). We discov er that Mejia, who walks our streets with so much tranquility , was expected at Tampico, to deliver the fine population of the province to the revolted Texians, and that assassination, tho robbery of tlie custom house, pillage and amlfchy would bo the consequences of the undertaking. It is true that everything wds done in the dark, and noboddy knew of I lid conspiracy till the guilty were arrested. This circumstance de prives us of details, which no doubt wc shall ob tain either from newspapers or private letters, and enable us to penetrate the cloud of exclamations arid anathemas vomited forth by the command ant of Tamaulipas. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thursday, Jan. 12,1637. REDUCTION OF THE REVENUE. The House resumed the consideration ot the hill for the reduction of the revenue lo the wants of the country ; the question be ing on the motion of Mr. Lawrence to post pone the bill indefinitely. Mr. Corwin, who was entitled to the floor, staled that he would not occupy the time of the House at all on this subject, if it were not required of him as one of the members of the minority of the Committee. He was en tirely in favor of disposing finally of this bill, before the Hour of adjournment, and the mode of disposition which he preferred was an in definite postponement of the bill. There wore now left to us only twenty-two days far business, with tlie exception of those assigned fur private bills. To lake up such a subject, under such circumstances, lie thought wry idle. It would be impossible to get through the subject, even if every business day was devoted to it; and it would prevent the action of the House on many very important subjects. The President, in his message, had not re commended to us tiny such measure as tins, but it was thrust. in upon us, in tlie place of those subjects of legislation which the Press • dent had recommended to us. The measure was entirely uncalled fur and Unexpected. Its effect upon the industry and prosperity of the country would, in Ids opinion; be most disas torus. Taking the estimates of tho report to he true, tlie hill would abolish and strike out ofexistence branches of industry which produ ced the sum of 3 hundred and fitly millions of dollars a year. The whole system of legisla tion for the last twenty years was lo be suddenly abandoned, in order to carry out a new system ofpolicy. VVas it lo be expected that this would be done here without very long and deliberate investigation] The report assumed that the bill would annihilate interests which had grown up uudef the legislation of twenty years, and which, according to the estimates of the report, now produced three hundred and lilty millions a year. Would tiie House undertake to do this at a blow, and without deliberation, and upon tlie faith of the members of the Coinmitoe of Ways and Means. He was sure that the House would not bo brought lb act upon tlie proposition, during this session, and, therefore; he was in favor of indefinite postponement. Another new doctrine which there report soughtto es tablish was that public faith was of no account, and was not to he taken into consideration in the action of tho House on this subject. The very men wtio were ready to war with France to resist the violation of a pledge, were now ready and earnest lo break their own faith solemnly pledged to those who bad been induc ed, by our laws, to withdraw their capital and industry from commerce and other objects, and devote it to manufactures. lie weiit into the history df the Compromise Act to show that it imposed obligations of tho highest character on the government not further to reduce the protective duties till the year 1842. Mr, CUSHMAN, of N. 11, rose lo reply to some remarks made yesterday by Mr. Law rence. That gclilleman, he said, had asked whether there was any member from New England who would rise in his place and as sert that he believed this measure to be bene ficial lo the interests of tho country. He had accordingly risen for one to sny that bo was in favor of this measure, and that he believed the people of the state which he in part rep. resented would also support it. They were j opposed to tho accumulation of revenue for j distribution and internal improvements; and • like Mr. Jefferson; they were in favor only iof those branches of manufactures which can flourish without tlie aid of protective duties. He went on lo oppose the protective system at some length.—ln reply to tho question of t the gentleman from Massaschusetls, whether there was any concert of a linn on this sub- j ject between the majority of Ways and Means and tho Administration party, he, Mr. C. hop ed to God, that there was such a concert of itc- < lion between them, which would lead to the I speedy adoption of this measure. He did not doubt, whether there had been any compari son of opinions or not, that there would be I found a concert of opinion, growing out of a i common principle. In regard lo tlie compromise act, he did j not hold this measure to be any violation of t ( it; for the compromise had in view this very i measure, at the end of a certain time; and a proviso to that act declared that nothing in the act should prevent such alterations of the | tariff before 1842 as were necessary to pre vent any deficiency or surplus of revenue. It i was not true therefore, that the measure tn | fringed upon that compromise. Mr. MUHLENBERG moved to lay the j bill on the table, and lo print it together with the report. This despatch was closed before the qffetf tion was taken. WALL STREET. Friday, Jan. 13. Thorn is at this moment a singular agitation and contrariety of entreats refining though the money market, exchanges and general business. Some cry out 1 1m “ money is ear y"—“real estate going up" —“ engagements diminishing”—“ exchanges relum ing to order"—and every thing and every body looking liettcr and feeling better. The Well street . prints, these organs of speculation mid juggle, are loud in giving out these tones ol encouragement to business people and timid dealers. Vet a largo portion of business (non in the same street are positive that these notes lire delusive. They point to the facts, and certainly the facts bear them out to a great extent. Yesterday, stocks fell some of them as much as 3 percent—United Swiss is very languid, and exchanges are feverish nnd un certain. Money is plenty. This must be fully ad mitted—but at what price? Wo saw some of the best paper in the street yeVterdny negotiated at 3 and 31 per pent a month, This paper also is at long dates—4,s or 6 months to run. Business men in a good condition, may sometimes be compelled to submit to such high rates for paper, at very short dates—but when lung paper sells so high there Is a radical defect in the constitution of the money mar ket, that newspaper paragraphs, ( tying “ all’s well,” cannot cure or annihilate. W bat could makegood men so far encroach upon futurity, at such a high price, os lo sell their paper at 2 or 2! per cent a month, lor 4,5, or 6 mouths ? (’au any species of commercial business warrant Such a leap into futu rity ? It is generally believed now that the great pres sure which the mass of eummereial_ engagements caused, has measurably abated by their own liqui dation, and their resolution to enter into no new ones. We are disposed to credit the statement, that tho still existing high rales, for which long paper sells in the street do not arise Irom the wonts of re gular commercial business. Froril certain move ments around us, wo believe Ilia high rale of inter est is kept up by the real estate dealers ’’’be great bulk ol eummereial engagements have been can celled, but there is no small amount of real estate engagements coming into piny, which yet keep up the high interest of money. Chancery sides ol pro perty have increased of lute, nnd several important movements have been made in real estate, which indicate an approaching uneasiness in dint quarter. The great bulk of money that is now required, it is believed, is wanted lo support the prices of real estate. Our great staple articles, under die contin ued pressure, have diminished sensibly in value. Within six or twelve months, cotton ha? (alien 10 to 15 per cent—tobacco 30 per.cent—rail rood stocks 4J to 50. During Ibis period real eslnte has been supported and buoyed up by vast efforts—by gieat combination—by the excessive high interest of money. Occasionally particular parcels would have lo submit lo tbo into ol the times, but generally the holders have been strong men and would not sell, even uttlie alternative of paying 3 to 31 per cent a month lor money. It is idle, however in tbo Express or Courier lo say, nu they did yesterday, that real estate is advan cing in the lace of tho pressure. Real estate cannot advance in the teeth ol interest of 34 to 30 percent, Vet the struggle will be made. Ileitis of dwelling bouses are to bo advanced next month, though the abundance of stores, nnd the curl ailment of trade, must lower the rents ol places of business. We ex pect to see a tremendous struggle on the subject ol real estate. The commercial crisis lias eased off n little, but that of real estate is just coming on. Every effort will be made, even should bidders raise inter est to 40 per cent, to keep up Ihc prices of real estate, nnd even to advance its rale as well as the rents of dwelling bouses. We shall watch these mailers w ith interest. Mean time, the movements of Allmny nnd Washington ore beginning to create a sensation in Wull street. It is generally believed that there is an egregious juggle going on in both capitals, iii rein ion to the currency. The proposed iflodiueatiun id" the Re straining Law, bus created a universal burst ol in dignation in Wall street. Its provisions are laugh ed to scorn. Tic usury laws also are talked ulioilt tone sort of purpose. The refusal In grant new bank charters is also believed lu be a juggle—the legislature only want time lo make their own bar gains, In Washington, a proposition to reduce the revenue, the anti/ red useful practical measure yet proposed, hasculle.. Ihrl.li tho opposition of the poli ticians and tlie mnnulaeturers. It is now believed that neither the Legislature nor Congress cun do any thing in time lo ward olf the transler operations ol the government yet going on, or the reaction of the English money market on our own.

Is there a light to bless thee In all this world of cure, With a light which shines more beautiful, When others frowns appear f Tlie rose hi desert bluoulidg, Is an emblem of that smile: It sheds its sweetest fragrance there, Tho’ uoiio admire tic wh 10. Is th ro 'ineye that brightens As it gathers light from thine; And holds its fund fidelity, As firm in nvery dime'.? The earliest star ofoveuing Is like that faithful eye : U throws a steady lustre o’er The changes of tho sky. Is there a voice that limiters Whop o’or it breathes illv name, But in its softest cadence is Unchangingly the same? The win I through roses sighing, Is tie' music of that voieo t It hath a “ dying" sweetness, yet It bids the heart rejoice ! Is there a heart that loves then, With a fond woman's love— That lias no thought of w orship, but To thee and One above 7 O, ask rtd more of fortune Her rich treasures lo import— Shelnllh only one, that's priceless— "J’is that true nnd loving hcait! Tho rose in desert blooming— The mellow evening slur — The wind through roses straying— Aro all ebneetiltcd them. Then murmur not nl fortune, If thou hast a gill like this; For the smile, of true rj/eetion is The sum of human bliss. Windsor Forest, .S'. U. Zkumna. COMMERCIAL* MOBILE,Jan. 14.
