COLUMBIA, (fEXAs,) Dec. !.
Our Administration have made bold stroke
Of policy, and in the nroprety Of which have
fully and cordially concurred not only from the
facts and evidence which the Executive had re
ceired, but from the arguments aI1ueed in con
sequence On Saturday night last. Santa Ana
and Almonie, under the charge Of two gentle
men. were started by land foi the city OF Wash
lngton; and the concise grounds for adopting
this policy are, that Mexico is in state orrevo-
luton. Bustamente will take compland of the
troops against US, and is the known and avowed
enemy OF Santa Ana the parties Of these two
rival chiefs are bitterly opposed, aad some oil

course Of the doubtful there will then be Two
powerful factions, and each will have enough to
do TO attend TO his own concerns without troub-

have every confidence that Santa Ana will

"A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS"

We have of,en had occasion 10 observe the rest
less and disconnected disposition exhibited by some
men, who always seem to think they could do much
better in some other employment than that in
which they are engaged, and who arc therefore
constantly shifting their business. Such men new
err become wealthy, because they are always learn
ing new kinds Of business, and are engaged in no
kind long enough to acquire that superior skill
and knowledge in it which elono enable any
one to carry it on dvuntngoousy especially where
he has to encounter competition.
People in the country are apt generally to be
leve that those who reside in the city all become
enormously rich. and their fate is therefore an en-
viabe one hence often see those who possess
good farms in the country, and are getting along
well, who live independently and ought to live con
entedly, selling them and with the money thus OBJ
tanned. commencing business which they know
nothing about, in the city. The almost invariable
result Of this attempt to carry on new business 10
new place, is failure, bankruptcy and disappolnt
ment ending often in insanity or besotted drunk
enuess --Nor is the idea entertained by people in
t1,e country, that those in the city make money
with and abundanily, correct. Men undergo
more priyation, aud labor harder in the city than
they do in the country. Their risks are also much
greater aud their cares and anxetes are Of Course
proportionably increased. True, individuals there
are WHO acquire ldfgcI w tHY "'S

Again, how often Is it that even these incivIGu-
ais, whose happy lot [flisc estimated exctes the
envy of their fellow m0fials are seen TO strut their

suggestions peculiarly applicable to tho present

ATTACHMENTS.

In Boston failures are announced in the morning
here in the afternoon. There the first thing
you hear is that their notes for the dav or some
of them, remain unpaid in the banks. The differ.
ence results from the different laws which prevail
IN the two cities. Here property can only be seiz-
ed after claim has been established in court
there il may be seized the very first legal act.--
The first thing debtor knows IN Boston is, that
forty wris against him ell the sherf's pocket coch
To be satisfied in full, according to tho successive
minutes Of their chronological order. The lucky
number one, OF course urges his suit to maturity
with oil possible speedand sells the property which
he has grasped, at any possible sacrifice, caring for
nothing if only there is enough to pay his debt.
It. therefore, merchant bas reason to fear that he
shall not be able TO meet the engagements of the
coming day. the only way that he has to secure
any decency at his mercantile funeral, is to take
time by the foreock aud transfer himself, the night
beforehand to the care Of his friends. The small
traders, whose liabilities to q considerable amount
stand the books Of their creditors, often O.
biged to make assignments from fear Of attach
ment, when they do not consider themselves bank
rupt in property. Creditors, too, often seize upon
the property of their debtors more from fear tina,
others will go before them, than from disirust OF
the ability oftheir debtors. The assignments made
in such haste are often made injudciously, and to
the injury Of all concerned and they are some.
times made from fear Of inability TO get through
day, when If only the experiment could be made, il
would sometimes, at least. be succrs-fol, aud nc
failure at all ensue. But in state ir the mer
chant cannot meet tho engagements of the day. hi
has failed ; or possibly no publicity will be give'
to the fact and he can try again the next day. /
he cannot succeed. he then has time to look abou
himself cody consult with his friends, get an ex
tension Of his liabilities or make any other DISPOSE
tion Of his affairs which may be thought best, ant
SO in general the best is made ofevery thing. The
Massachusetts, system makes great cost from thu
outset ours make none. That increases the ter
ror OF panic immensely ours sllays aPprehen
sion. We have seen the working of both, and w
wonder that a system illiberal, SO injurious I,
all parties, 40 odious in every point Of view, shou
be permitted to remain in force among people So
enlightened as the citizens of Massachusetts, [an'
Vermont too.] They have generally too poor al
opinion of the laws Of New York.-N y. j. Q
