The Temperance Question in New Yoke
—The New York Herald publishes the pro
ceedings of a meeting of the friends of tem
perance, held in that city on Saturday even
ing last. A platform of temperance principles
was agreed to, recommending the policy of
moral suasion, and condemning all forms of
coercive legislation. The fact that the Maine
law of New York has proved a complete fail
ure in every respect was unhesitatingly ad
mitted by the orators of the meeting, and the
Carson League and Temperance ..Alliance
were unsparingly denounced. A thorough
re-organization of the temperance party, on
the basis of moral suasion and the enactment
of a stringent license law, is the object of the
movement, of which the meeting of Saturday
night is but the commencement.

Duties of Superintendent of K)ec. -
lions.
Tenant Lomax, Esq., of the Columbus
Times, has addressed a letter to several of the
most distinguished members of the Columbus
bar, relative to the duties of Superintendents
of our general elections. The Tunes contains
letters in reply from Ilines Holt, Esq., from
Janies Johnson, Esq., aud R. Mosec, Esq.,
all lawyers of acknowledged ability and two
of them prominently identified with the Know
Nothings, or so-called American Party.
/ill of Mugentlemen agree in declaring
that the SujHrinUn.de at* have no right what
ever to call fur Naturalization Papers from
foreigners applying to vote. In all doubtful
cases, the luw provides an oath to be adminis
tered to the challenged party. The discretion
of the manager begins and ends with its ad
ministration, and if the voter be not qualified
and still takes the oath, a prosecution for
perjury is the remedy.
In cases where the Superintendent knows
positively and of his own knowledge that the
applicant is not qualified, he may reject the
vote. But the knowledge must be certain
and beyond shadow of doubt y before the Super
intendent can exercise this urbitary discre
tion. In this case no oath is to be adminis
tered, as that would be a set trap to make a
man commit perjury. The voter must be re
jected on the responsibility of the Superin
tendent, who knows him to be disqualified.—
Information from others will not justify this
course. He must know the fact, of his own
knowledge.
In no case can a transcript of Naturaliza
tion papers be demanded. The only test
known to the law is the oath. When taken,
the vote must be admitted—a prosecution for
perjury being the only resort. The reason of
the law is obvious. The voting must be sus
pended until a doubtful case is settled. If it
were admissible to examine into the validity
of transcripts, a single case might consume
the whole dot’. ,
Upon till tnese points the ’law ia plum ahd
admits of no disputes. Yet we are pleased to
see published the opinions of these eminent
counsellors, belonging as they do to different
parties, yet agreeing in the interpretation of
the statute. We hope, iherefore, that no ig
norance or arbitrary stretches of power will
be exhibited on the part of superintendents
at the coming election. Their duties are very
simple, and they need not err except by de
liberate intent to go wrong. Any attempt te
transcend their prerogatives will create dis
order and delays, and we hope that none of
them will be so silly as to set up any test uu
k nown to the laws of Georgia. —Macon Tele
graph.
It is very important that this question
should be definitely settled and thoroughly
understood by our citizens previous to the
day of election. We cannot doubt that every
effort will be made on all sides to prevent
any misunderstanding on this or any other
question at the polls, aud we would suggest
that the proper authorities make public, pre
vious to the day of the election, the rules aud
regulations by which it will be governed.
Anniversary of tlie Occupation of
Mexico.
The eighth anniversary of the occupation of
the city of Mexico by the American army,
under General Winfield Scott, was celebra
ted with all due honors in New Y'ork, on
Friday. The national fiag was displayed
from the City Hall, (by direction of the Com
mon Council,) the hotels, and all the public
buildings. The surviving ollicers who served
in the war celebrated the event by a grand
dinner at Delmonico’s new dining rooms, in
the Irving House. At a private meeting for
business, held in the course of the afternoon,
the society to be known as the Montezuma
Society was organized, aud the following of
ficers were appointed for the next year:
President —Commodore Perry.
Vice J‘residents —Gen. W. B. Burnett,
Commander Henry Eagle, Lieut. Col. Aber
crombie, Gen. Patterson.
Secretary —M. Lovell.
Treasurer —Chief Engineer Gay.
The object of the society are understood to
be to promote the interests of the surviving
officers aud men of the army who served in
Mexico, aud to provide fur uu annual reunion
of the former.
At the dinner in the evening* among the
sentiments given, the following, received by

Tennessee Wheat.— We see it stated that
the shippers of Tennesse wheat from Mur
freesboro', in that State, in New York via Sa
vannah, have realized a protit of 80 cents a
bushel. At Murfreesboro’ the grain is repre
sented to he worth 80 cents per bushel, cost
of transportation 50 cents, and the wheat has
been sold as high as *2.10 cents per bushel.
Ibese prices, however, cannot be obtained
now.
English Consumption op Cotton.—Not
withstanding the war, the consumption of
cotton in Great Britain, this year, from the
Ist of January to the 31st of August, is 1,449,-
bales against 1,289,200 for the same
period in 1854, showing the large increase of
11i0,780 bales. The stock iu Liverpool on the
31st ult. was 567,090 bales which is 269.320
less tlieii on the 31st August, 1854. The im
ports in Liverpool for the eight months then
ending a.-e 1,583,236 bales, being 71,132 bales
less than last year. The prospect of a con
siderable reduction in the price of cereals
leads to a general conviction in England that
there will be shortly a revival iu the home
trade. The manufacturing towns of Stock
ton, Preston and Buanley, which were ex
pected to follow the example of Blackburn,in
working tbeTnills on short time: have failed
to do so.

call the attention of tux payers to the adver
tisement of the lax Collector, who advertises
to close his office on the 20th inst, just four
days previous to the election. The act allows
him until the Ist of December to pay over his

To the poor man. who simply pays his thirty

Tlie New Yorlc National Democrats*— 1
Speech of Hon Daniel S. Dickenson. !
On Friday evening last, a meeting of the
Young Men’s National ’Democratic Club, of
New York was held nt Academy Hall, Broad
way, at which a series of resolutions were
passed expressive of the principles of the
party. After the adjournment of the meet
ing the members proceeded in a body
with u band of music to the Metropolitan Ho
tel, at which Hon. Daniel S. Dickenson was
stopping, for the purpose of serenading that
gentleman. After the serenade, Mr. Dicken
son was introduced to the Club aud delivered
a speech from which we make tho following
extract. The distinguished speaker is known
to be the leader of the National Democrats of
New York, and as his speech is an exposi”
tion of the avowed principles and sentiments
of that party, especially in regard to the
great and vital question of State Rights, we
have transferred it to our columns. We feel
confident that our readers of all parties, will
feel gratified and encouraged by the perusal
of such sentiments, and to know that there
are.still men in the free states brave enough
and patriotic enough to stand by the consti
tution und the rights of the States. Such
men everywhere, but especially at the North,
are eutitled to our admiration, sympathy aud
support.
SPEECH OF MR. DICKENSON.
Mr. President and gentlemen of the Young
Men’s National Democratic Club—My best
acknowledgments are due to you lor the honor
you have done me on this occasion, aud if I
do not express to you all the gratification that
1 feel, it is because I can form no expression
which would ckfjustice to my feelings. You
come Uriuevwiih music that is pleasing to the
ear, and bring along with you principles that
are gratifying to the heart of every patriot.
(Cheers.; You come to me upon the dawn of
a day when a great battle is to be fought, in
my opinion ; und you come, according to the
ancient proverb, as young men should come—
young weu for war. (Loud aud continued
cheering.) It may not be deemed out of place,
as this is a political club formed for political
purposes aud to advance great political ends,
that 1 should make some allusion to the state
of the political parties of the day—parties that
■ire dying,parties that are being born,and par
ties that are in a state of transition between
both. (Laughter.) Old parties going out,
new parties coming forward : some parties
in a state of disintegration, and other parties
in a state of formation—a “new formation,”
as the geologists call it. (Laughter.) While
all this is going on, the national Democratic
party, of which this Young Men’s Club is a
worthy aud a true representative,stands firm,
stands to its position—true to its integrity,
true to its principles, true to the constitution
of the couutry. (Cheers.) One party, if we
are to be permitted to speak of them, engages
itself in preventing the retail and drinking of
liquor—another engages itself in retailing
politics in place of it—(laughter)—another, in
confessing that it knows nothing—(laughter;
—or if it does know anything, that it has
no principles to speak of. And so we have
all shades aud phases of political parties, aud
among them one that is determining exactly
what quantity of custom house aud of free soil
can be stirred into a mess and administered to
the administration.(Loud laughter and cheers)
Amid all these fluctuations and changes the Na
tional Democratic party stands, I repeat true
to its principles, and to the Constitution—not
merely to the paper Constitution, which is as
worthless as the material upon which it is
printed—but the true sense and spirit of the
Constitution on which the Government was
founded, and upon which it must be main
tained—if maintained it can be—to that Con
stitution which was erected by our fathers to
establish justice, to provide for the common
defence, to promote the public welfare, and to
disseminate the blessings of civil and religious
liberty to mankind—that Constitution for
which our forefathers fought aud bled, and
which it is the duty of their sons to maintain.
It is the pride and glory of tjie National Demo
cratic party to stand by such a Constitution,
and by its principles lirst and its principles
last, and that great and glorious charter o
liberty vouchsafed to man. They have u>
ambition above or beyond this. They seek io
spoils of oflice. They despise the plunder
that is sought by the mere politician. Thfir
principles are the maintenance of that liberty
and the Constitution in order that that liberty
may be secured, not as the privilege of one
or of a class, but the privilege of all. (Cheers.)
They hold, in the language of the Declaration
airmen are
among these are meand liberty and the pur
suit ot happiness. This principle is the cor
ner-stone ot the National Democratic party,
and it has no other. No sectionalism nedo-es
uin. it is as extensive as the Union. It
extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Go
to that river which divides monarchy from re
publicanism on the North ; go to the borders
ot unhappy Mexico in another direction ; from
the St. Johns river to where the waters of the
i acific wash the golden sands of California,
their principles are alike iu every State in the
Union, giving to every one that right which
God Almighty ordained to every man—the
right to civil aud religious liberty. (Loud
cheers.) Every one to enjoy the fruits of his
own labor tree from oppression ; every State
to orect its own institutions aud its own man
ner, tree from assaults by the people of any
other State, in letter or inspirit, in thought,
word or in deed, but that every State may be
P ur l>o>;ts to be—a free sovereign
State, (.Cheers.) The National Democratic
creed regards the people of a Territory as
tut grown men, as rational beings, enjoying
a . . l^ e . Political rights consistent with
their incipient condition, entitled to speak
tor themselves and form their own iusti
tutions in their wn manner, aud to
come into this confederacy as a State with
such a State Constitution us thev shall erect
without condition or limitation’ so that it be
republican. (Loud cheers.) These are the
principles ot the National Democratic creed •
and the believers in such a creed we invite to
rally under our banner; but, iu the language
ot the old Methodist hymn— b
W e want no cowards in our baud.
That will in terror fly;
We call for valiant hearted men,
That are not afraid to die.
(Three cheers.) Those who cannot support
the constitution, whether North, South, East
ur W est, hud better uot be national Demo
cratic republicans. (Cheers.) But those
who intend to stand by the sovereign rights
of the States, and to support every article
and every section of the constitution, must
join the national Democratic party, for it is
the party of the whole country. Let us be
sleepless sentinels upon the watch tower of
freedom, and guard and maintain the rights
and liberties that have been handed down to
us by our fathers, such as no other people
ever enjoyed. Is this not a government worth
preserving? Yes; if we do not preserve it
wo deserve to be slaves. What if a portion
ot the States uphold au institution which we
have uot ! It is no concern of ours • they
alone are responsible for it. (Loud cheers)
The institution existed in all these States on
the formation of the government. Such of
them have abolished it as pleased to do it
when they got ready; let the others abolish
it when they get ready, and not before.—
(Cheers.) And let every national Democrat
ic republican do, us I am sure he will do.aud
as I will do, invite into the held of combat—
politically 1 mean—any one who gaiusays
that doctrine. (Cheers.) I will strike the
shields of their Brian de Bois Gilberts with
the pointed end of my spear. (Loud cheers.)
We must stand by these principles and by
the constitution and the Union, As I said
before on a similar occasion the demolition
of the American Union would be the second
fall of man; more sinful than the first, be
cause without temptation, and more fatal’be
cause beyond the power of redemption. It
has been suid that these prir-ipies cannot
endure. For one, my fellow citizens, I in
tend to know whether they can or not, und I
am sure you will joiu with me. or what is the
same thing, I will joiu with you. But, gen
tlemen, lam detaining you too long. I-did
not intend to soy halfas much us 1 have al
ready said, but tho subject is a suggestive
one. Io these times every man is called upon
to declare his position, and show whether lie
stands upou the side of hi country,or wheth
er he is willingto see or determined to see
how much crucilixion that country will bear
without giving up the ghost, and I am glad
of an opportunity to raise my voice in behalf
of sound principles and ill behalf of my coun
try against all tactions, by whatsoever name
called, (Cheers.)
The speaker then brielly alluded to the re
cent democratic victory io Maine. It is, he
said, but the commencement; it is the star in
the East, and like the star on another occa
sion it will lead wise men to the true point
of duty. (Loud cheers.) It |S said that tho
Northern democratic party cannot stand. X
repeat, yes—it can stand. It is this day a
most living and beautiful and happy illustra
tion of the words of a poet whose poetry!
admire much more than his sentiments:
Truth crushed to earth, shall riso again;
Thu eternal years of Uod are tier's;
But error wounded writhes In pain
And dies amid her worshippers
Georgia Wild Cat Banks.
Bln our article on this subject a few day since,
we stated that all Georgia money was involved
iu the discredit caused by the irresponsible
issues of the Wild Cat Banks in the upper
part of the State. We see that the banks of
Milwaukee have taken a step in the right di
rection, and passed a resolution excluding
these sh in-plasters. The exclusion of all
Georgia money will, not affect our legitimate
banks, for they have never sought to extend
their circulation ia that direction. It was
designed to drive out the issues of such bauks
as the Bank of Atlanta, the Interior Bank of
GritUn, Merchant’s Bank at Macon, and the
Banks at Dalton and LaGrauge. It-will be
seen that this resolution is uuanimous with
•ue exception, the “Wisconsin Marine and
Fire Insurance Bank, owned by George
Smith, tho owner of two of the Georgia Banks*
Tho following is the resolution adopted by
all the banks of Milwaukee, with the excep
tion of the Wisconsin Murine Bank, ugaiust
the reception of Georgia currency, after the
17th inst.: —
Notice. —Whereas, Georgia and Tennessee
money has been put in circulation in this
State by various parties who are supposed to
be the individual owners of the Diuiks from
whence said money is issued : And whereas,
the bill bolder has uo ready means of know
ing the intrinsic value of said circulation :
And whereas, we have no commerce or busi
ness connection with the district of country
from whence the said issues come, rendering
it difficult to convert the same by sending it
home : Aud whereas, by its circulation among
us it has the effect of discouraging the in
crease and circuiaton of banking capital
under our own banking law, as well as the
with whom we
have whereas,’ the
people of ttye State have hud a good deal of
dislike at receiving currency from so distant
a part of the couutry between which and this
there exists no natural business relations.
Therefore, The undersigned Bunks and
Bankers in Milwaukee hereby give notice that
on und after Monday the 17th inst., they will
declint receiving the currency of Teuuesse
aud Georgia Bunks.

It is b confession, the most important step

Governor Bli an lion 111 Kansas.
The Missoiri Republican publishes the
following repirt of the speech made by Gov
ernor the newly appointed Ex
ecutive of Kmsaa Territory, in answer to the
Hon. O. 11. Browne, who, in the name of the
citizens of Kansas, welcomed the Governor on
his arrival at Westport. It is somewhat dif
ferent n\ its details from what we had re
ceive* by telegraph, but its general character
—albwance being made for original distor
tion —is the same. It is the speech of a sen
sille man, who, out of the unfounded or ex
operated reports which have come from the
Territory, is able to determine what is the
real condition of its affairs.
Sir—For the very friendly reception I have
met with on the present occasion, I beg leave
to tender to you,and through you to the citizens
of Kansas you represent, my thanks. In en
tering upon the duties ot the responsible
oflice to which I have been appointed, it is
highly gratifying to me to find so much good
ieeling prevailing among the citizens of the
territory.
Coming as you do from almost every part
ot the civilized globe, with different manners,
customs, und modes ot thinking, it must be
expected that there will be some conllict of
opinion in settling the policy which is to con
wu opinion on ot pub
lic policy, the object of all, it is to be hoped,
is the same—the advancement of the best
interests of the territory. By respecting the
opinions and even prejudices of each other,
and cultivating a social feeling, we will soon
harmonize and learn to act together for the
benefit aud advancement of our highly favor
ed country. Linking at many of the public
papers in the States, one would be led to be
lieve that Kansas was the scene of lawless
confusion and disorder. No greater error
could be committed.
1 will not criticise the motives that have in
duced these uulounded representations, but J
will say—because 1 believe it to be true —that
there is not a more law-abiding people in the
United States than the great mass of the citi
zens of Kansas. There is no Stale in the
Union where person and pronerty are more
secure than iu this territory. That some ir
regularities may have taken place in the heat
aud excitement of a first election, is true, but
they sink into utter insignificance when com
pared with the bloody riots that have charac
terized the elections iu some of the States,
and lawless mobs that have disgraced some
of our large cities. While the latter have re
ceived but a passing notice from the public
press, the former have been held up to the
world as enormities without a precedent.—
This is all wrong, and calculated to prejudice
the best interests of the territory, by deterring
a large and respectable cluss of emigrants
from coming among us.
I duly appreciate the warm and generous
feelings that have ever characterized our
hardy, intelligent, and enterprising pioneers
ol the West. It has been my lot to have
mingled much with them in the course of my
life, and I have always found them true and
warm-hearted friends and patriotic citizens.
I come among you not as a mere adventurer,
seeking to better his fortune, and then return
home ; but as one desiring, for himself and
family, a permanent location, and it shall be
my highest ambition to devote my humble
ettorts to the promotion of the best interests,
happiness, and prosperity of this territory.
To accomplish these objects, we will all ad
mit that a government of law aud order is
absolutely necessary. We all feel the im
portance of this, and I trust will unite in se
curing so an object. We have
no security for personal property except by
the maintenance of law and order; and inter
est and duty alike unite in enforcing on us
this obligation to maintain both. Your Leg
islative Assembly, that has just adjourned,
has provided a code of laws for the Territory.
It is my duty as an Executive ollicer and the
duty of every good citizen, to abide by those
laws so long as they remain in force. To
maintain tho constitution of the United States
the organic law of the Territory, and the laws
passed by the Legislative Assemply, iu con
formity thereto, is an obligation imposed on
me by my oath of office as well as |by the
duty 1 owe to the Turitory us a citizen, in
common wiih others. With the law for our
guide and the best interest of the Territory
lor our object, all uniting and harmonizing
together, we cannot fail, under Providences,
to build up a great State, furnishing happy
homes to thousands of our people, uddiug
additional strength to our Union, and opem
ing the way for the advancement of civiliza
tion and refinement over our vast Territorial
possessions in the West!

is told of Geu. l'elissier: —Some years ago,
Pelissier, ou a parade one morning, got uugry
with a sous ojjhxr of a cavalry regiment,

Latest front Norfolk. m
I We had the pleasure of a conversation with
a gentleman who arrived in this city yester
day from Norfolk. He confirms the cheering
news of the abatement of the fever both in
Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Mr. Ferguson, the President of the Howard
Association, has been indefatigable in his ex
ertions night and day, and is ably seconded
by Judge Olin, of Augusta, who is now Sec
retary and Treasurer of the Association.—
While all the other members have fallen vic
tims or beeu very ill, Mr. Ferguson has won
derfully escaped.
Our informant speaks in the highest terms
of the physicians and nurses sent from the
South. Their skill and success in treating
this dread disease have inspired hope iu the
breasts of the plague-smitten people. Os
those who went from Baltimore and the
North, at least seven out of every ten have
died. They went to the relief of theso suffer
ing cities with a most ardent wish to be ser
viceable to them, but the event proved that
their strength was not equal to the task im
posed upon them, and they have fallen vic
tims. They have given up their lives in a
noble cause, and their monument will be the
grateful recollection of the survivors.
The project of removal to Old Point was
not regarded with favor by the people, who
feared the bad effect of such a removal not
only on those who were sick but upon those
in whom the disease had not yet made its ap
pearance. A number of families had removed
to “ Camp Fulls,” on Crany Island, but many
feared to go there, because in case of a storm,
the tents would be a poor protection.
We have before announced the reception at
Richmond of a number of orphans from
Portsmouth. The Howard Association of
Norfolk have declined sending their or
phans out of the city, saying that now the
disease has abated, they will have time to
take care of them at home. One of the
churches has beeu fitted up as a temporary
home for the orphans, who are all under the
cure of the Howard Association.
Since writing the above we have received a
dispatch, which will be found iu another
column, stating that the fever was on the in
crease in both Norfolk and Portsmouth, and
that there were many new cases. Our pre
vious advices have reported a diminution for
the past few days, as the fever had apparently
nearly run itself out. We hope this may yet
prove to be the case.
Relief fob Norfolk and Portsmouth. —
The following items will show what is still
being done at the North for the relief of these
cities :
New York, Sept. 15.—The General Relief
Committee of this city yesterday authorized
the remittance of s‘.*,ooo for the relief of the
Norfolk sufferers.
Philadelphia, Sept IC.—About SB,OOO have
been collected here for the relief the Norfolk
sufferers during the past week.
Cincinnati, Sept. 15.—The committee ap
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce to
solicit subscriptions for the relief of the Nor
folk and Portsmouth sufferers, remitted SIOOO
to Baltimore this morning. A committee of
two citizens in each ward has been appointed
to receive further subscriptions. Our citizens
are giving liberally.
Louisville, Sept. 12.—A meeting was held
in the Court House last evening, at which
a committee was appointed to receive sub
scriptions for the relief of the sufferers at
Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Chicago, Sept. 14.—The subscriptions made
in this city yesterday, for the relief of the
Norfolk sufferers, amounted to $2,500.
The N. Y. Herald calls upon the corporate
authorities of that city to appropriate twenty
or thirty thousand dollars or to send a ship
freighted with substantial articles of relief,
provisions, clothing, medicines, Ac.
The Herald adds;—
“It may bo wiser to appropriate a sum of
money for a supply of physicians and nurses
from the South than to send down our unac
climated Northern people, but the city or the
citizens of N. York, headed by the Mayor, are
called upon by every .consideration of hunumi
immediately, or a ship load of necessities, for
our suffering fellow citizens of Norfolk and
Portsmouth. If one of our merchants could
equip a small fleet in search of Sir Joan
Franklin, surely it will it only need the hint
to secure forthwith a relief ship for the Capes
of Virginia. We call upon our worthy Mayor
to put this ball in motion.”
Cultivation of the Grape in Georgia.—
The Atlanta Intelligencer in speaking of the
late State Fair says: The most attractive fea
ture of the Horticultural department was the
splendid show’ of grapes. We saw the Madeira,
the Isabella, and a native wine grape lately
brought to notice, we believe, by Mr. Thur
mond, of this place, that Longw’orth of Cin
cinnati pronounces among the very best
varieties. But Mr. Axe, a German who has
but recently immigrated to this country aud
located in Georgia, was the lion among our
vine dressers. He produced from his vine
yard in Wilkes county, clusters of the Cataw
ba wine grape, that, surely since the days of
Joshua, have not been equalled. It would
have taken two men and one pole at least to
have carried any distance the number of
bunches that he exhibited attached to one
short vine. He told us that he raised
as many as seveuty-thre e clusters on one
vine. For size aud aroma these Catawbas
were far ahead of anything we ever noticed
before. A special award of a $25 pitcher was
made to Mr. Axe. It is now confidently be
lieved that in this region of Georgia has been
discovered the grape paradise, and that 1600
gallons of w’ine may be reasonably expected
as the product of one acre of well cultivated
vines. Mr. Axe is busy at work in various
sections of our State, establishing vineyards,
and he is so sanguine that he has in Georgia
found the right place for his operations, that
he oilers in all instances to look to the future
profits of wines planted by him for his re
muneration.
Engraving on Glass.- —A new process of
engraving on glass has recently been patented,
and a company has been formed in Boston
for the purpose of bringing it before the pub
lic.” By this process any design, from the
simple initial to the most full and elaborate
engraving, may be worked in a very few mo
ments upon glass of any and all sizes and
shapes.
The ease and rapidity of this new process
will doubtless cause it to supercede the old
and tedious method of engraving upon glass.

Washington that the President has restored
Commodore Stuart to the command of tho

Genius and Circumstances. —To examine
into the cause of intellectual distinction
among meu, and to account for the dissimi
larity of taste, inclination, and capacity, on
a philosophical principle, is by no means un
worthy, or of trivial importance.
Knowledge of this kind is not only grntify
ingand improving, but has a direct tendency
to liberalize the mind, and satisfactorily to
account for men’s actions, besides giving us
correct views of our responsibilities and pre.
paring us for present difficulties and the
emergencies that may await us in futurity.
Genius might be considered to be any pe
culiar turn of mental organization by which
persons becomo distinguished in any particu
lar pursuit.
Circumstances are the conditions in which
one may be placed, adventitious to their de
sires or otherwise.
It is not always easy to distinguish between
what nature has done for a man and what
has been the result of accident; but there
certainly does exist a great difference, which
we shall endeavor to describe.
That individuals are born with predispos
ing qualities, both of body and mind, no per
son of observation will deny; and that they
maintain their identity and individuality
through life, is equally evident and certain.
That distinction that nature makes between
men, circumstances can never make alike.
Tlie false philosophy that teaches that all
men are born equal, and that the mind when
brought into the world is like a sheet of pure
white paper, on which education may write
what it pleases,is a gross absurdity,and origi
nated with a cliiss of ideal, or speculative
metaphysicians.
If physical effects have their physical
causes, mental effects must have their mental
causes.
The laws of the mind are as constant and
invariable as those of matter, and nothing is
left to chance. We have the evidences ot
our senses, (and it’s the greatest evidence we
can have) that physical peculiarities are trans
missiblc aud hereditary; and although, men
tal hereditary qualities may be less tangible
to the senses, yet are they equally certain. —
Genius, is something that cannot be acquired
it’s above and superior to circumstances,and
frequently creates them. Genius is nature’s
unmerited gift, ispensed with according to
the immutable laws of mind and matter,
brought in certain relations to each other,
and disposed of without consulting the judg
ment or inclination of the recoiver. Genius is
the quintescence of power,—power to impress
—to govern, to command,and to create resour
ces in the midst of sterility aud general destitu
tion. Genius is not fickle, is not without aim
and object; it might dally in the lap of Time
till bound with the strong cords of adverse
circumstances, and sport in the arms of plea
sure until the golden locks of its glory are
lost in the sea of forgetfulness. But the
awaking up of its might is more certain than
the return of day, aud the going forth of its
glory more brilliant than the orb of light, the
threefold cords of adversity are severed as a
spider’s web; impassable passes are passed
with surpassing ease, triumph appears in
common place and victory is eclipsed! Cir
cumstances are trifles when compared with
genius, though the opposite is the general im
pression, aud originates in that general feel
ing of vaniity which lead persons to suppose
that they have a peculiar genius, or in other
words, are more than ordinary, aud only
require some favorable circumstance to bring
them out!
We will venture the assertion that there
never was a man with a true active genius
that circumstances successfully prevented
from exhibiting that peculiarity.
Genius is frequently misapplied and ren
dered less conspicious on account of self-ig
norauce, but wherever that principle lives,
nml hna'nvur much uerv*rt<d vet the effer
vescing vitality of its nature prevents it from
being effectually hid.
The moat favorable circumstances imagin
able, have, and will prove utterly incapable
of rendering persons famous, where nature
has withheld the genius.
Children who are brought up in similar
circumstances and conditions, having the
same means of improvement and education,
turn out to be essentially different, both in
character and talent. One will accomplish
with ease what another would never succeed
iu, even with more favorable means. The
idea therefore, of persons being able to ac
complish whatever they attempt, provided
circumstances are propitious, is absurd in
the extreme, and proves clearly that the ad
vocates of such theories know- not what they
affirm.
Genius, is not subservient to circumstan
ces, but circumstances to genius. In the ab
sence of genius, circumstance may govern
but in its presence, its authority is not rei
cognized. ■

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
ENGAGEMENT WITH A PARTY OP
WOLL’S MEN.
A Kumlu-r Killed, Wounded, mid
Taken Prisoner*.
ARRIVAL OF GEN. WOLL AT NEW ORLEANS.
By the arrival of the steamship Nautilus at
New Orleans, we have intelligence from tho
Rio Grande to the Bth inst. Among the pas
sengers by the steamship Nautilus, from
Braxos Santiago, were Gen. Woll, the late
commander of Metamoras, and Lieut. Duncan,
recently of tho U. S. army. The former is
on his way to Carthagenu, to join Santa Anna,
and is accompanied by a colonel, whose name
we do not recollect. He seems in good spi
rits, and is not at all depressed by the reverse
in bis fortunes, which he has no doubt ex
pected for some time. Lieut. Duncau has
been on a visit to Monterey, and thinks Vi
dauri aud the other revolutionary chief's will
not agree on the future policy to be pursued
by Mexico. Lieut. Duncan was offered the
position of Colonel of Engineers in the Revo
lutionary army, but did not accept it. We
take the following from the New Orleans
Picayune of Sunday last:
There is very little news contained in
either that has not beeu anticipated by the
Orizeba. Vidauri was still in Monterey, ap
parently waiting for the upshot of matters in
the metropolis, or perhaps to get his forces
together before he commences his march to
the interior. His manifesto against military
rule was was even more severe than the pa
pers represent it. He charges upon the army
or its leaders nearly all the evils which have
afflicted Mexico since the formation of the
Republic, and pronounces those who refuses
to acknowledge tlie present civil authorities
traitors to the nation, and who should be
treated as such. He also declares that there
is now no army except that which favored
and furthered the revolution in the
Southern, aud Central portions of the Re
public, but adds that such of the old officers
and soldiers who choose to offer themselves
for service in the new national army will bo
received. This decree appears to be specially
aimed ut Carrera, LaVega, Guitian, Cruz, and
other officers of the army who are endeavor
ing to retain their ascendancy by pronouncing
in favor of the plan of Ayutla. This seems
to be an essential point of difference be
tween Alvarez and Yidauri, the plan of
Ayutla, which has been adopted, aud indeed
was instigated by the former, providing
for the retention and sustainment of tbs
army.
In obedience to Yidauri’s orders, Col. Suaza
proceeded to San Luis Potosi, and being
joined by Gov. Garza, he entered the town,
took Gens. Parrodi aud Guitian prisoners,
and proclaimed the plan of Monterey, which
was joyfully acquiesced in by the citizens.—
Parrodi aud Guitian were sent to Monterey,
but Cruz made his escape.
A party of Government troops, numbering
about 140 who had been sent out from Mata
moras to levy contributions and to intercept
some goods which had been sent up the couu
try, were attacked near Reynosa ou the 80th
ult., by the Federate under Guadalupe Garcia
aud Miguel Tijerina, and routed with the loss
of 33 killed, 31 wounded, aud over 40 prison
ers. It was a complete surprise, Garcia
having learned that the troops were on their
return, after plundering the litttlc town of
China, of $1,500 and 200 horses; and as they
were reported close ut hand he wisely con
cluded that they w’ould camp at the Charco
Escondido, a lake about thirty-six miles from
Reynosa. He therefore placed his men in
ambush, aud in a short time afterwards tho
troops made their appearauce,and commenced
preparing a camp. He attacked them, w r ith
the above result, their leader, Pedro Quinte
ro, being mortally wounded, and dying a
short time after. All the horses, arms, equip
ments,Ac., fell into the hands of the Federate,
and among the prisoners taken were two de
serters named Christoval Losas aud Lassio
Farios, who were immediately 6hot.
Gen. Woll left Matamoras on the Bth or
9th, stating to his friends that he would not
acknowledge tho new Government, and
could not remain any longer. He turned
over the command to Gen. Castro, who, it is
supposed, would pronounce iu favor of the
plan of Ayutla at once. Ue has about 1,800
men under his command.
On the 4th, Gea. Woll published a mani
festo to his troops, announcing the resigna
tion of Santa Anna, and stating that they
would obey the orders of any Government
which might be formed by the nation. He
was escorted from Brownsville to Point Isa
bel by ten U. 3. Dragoons umler command of
Lieut l'elouze.
Since writing the above we have received
an exira from the Brownsville Flag office,
dated the 4th inst., containing a brief account
of the flight above reforred to. It coniirins
the accounts received from our correspon
dents :
The latest news we have of the revolution
on this frontier, is, that on the 30th ult., a
battle was fought between the Federate, coin
man ded by Guadalupe Garcia and Migued Ti
jerina, and a detachment compose* of 140
Government troops, under the command of
Pedro Quintero, who was mortally wounded,
and has since died. His command was sur
rounded when they surrendered, having lost
some thirty or forty in killed and wounded.—
The Federate had ten killed and seven wound
ed. The action took place in the vicinity of
Reynosa. Among the prisoners taken wero
several officers who formerly belonged to the
Federate, but had deserted from tnem after
they had come in possession of the necessary
information which Woll was anxious to pos
sess. They were immediately tried as spies
and ordered to be shot.
The Flag of the 25th ult., contains some
items of local intelligence, from which we
learn that several daring burglaries had re
cently been perpetrated in Brownsville, and
there was reason to believe that an organized
band of thieves existed there. One of the
gang had been arrested, aud from the disclo
sures made by him, it was thought that the
leader was uo less a person than Col. Domin
guez, the guerilla chief who made himself so
famous during the Mexican war. The Flag
openly intimates that the servvices of Judge
Lynch may be called into requisition iu his
case.
The crops were doing finely in the valley of
the Rio Grande. One crop of corn had al
ready been housed, and another was in a fine
state of progression. Fruit aud vegetables
were in the greatest abundance.
We make the following extracts from the
Flag of the above date :
Two deserters from the regular army of
Mexico were shot iu Metamoros,the other day}
and it is said that others are soon to be dealt
with similarly. Gen. Woll seems to dread the
close proximity of the Federalists, and fear#
the frequent desertions from his ranks to the
camp of the former.
Two new steamers have within the past
two weeks made their appearance our wat
ers, under the direction of that ’’ced
and enterprising boatman, Capt. J. V Arm
strong. The transportation of Government
supplies we learn has been awarded to Capt.
Armstrong, and these bouts have been
brought out to enable him to fill the contract.

the two steamers.
