This force is to be dcnominatcd the
ACvIvE or MOVABLE force.
Another class is to be organized under
the name of the rcscrce or se1cntary farce;
and the order of precedence between the
the army of the United States and the
militia, and between the several classes
of the militia with one another, is as fol-
lows: !. Troops of the United States.
2. Militia of the United States, in this
order, to wit: |. The ACTIVE force.
2. The sEDENTARY force. 3. The MASS.
An adiutant general of the militia is to
be appointed by the President, whose
office will be at Washington, and salary
$4,000. He is to be allowed two clerks,
If necessary. The President dcsignatcs
all depots of arms and munitions of war,
and appoints the place of rendezvous for
the troops when called into active service.
When called out, the militia are subject
to the same rules and articles of war as the
regular troops of the United States but
no detachment can be required to serve
more than six months in any one year.
While in actual service their pay and ra-
tons are those of the troops of the regular
army-and in case of death or wounds,
they or their widows are placed on the
same footing as to pensions, with soldiers
killed or wounded in the regular service.
The whole country for the convenience
of instruction and discipline, is to be di-
vided into ten districts, and proper rccu-
lations are to be made as to the instruction
OF officers and men. The details of the
whole plan are gwen by the Secretary of
War, at great length but the above are
the main features ofthis plan, and all that
are necessary to enable our readers to
understand its general scope"

breed, may be found a, the Stanton tor
Mayo Farm, the coming season. he is
not surpassed perhaps by any thing in the
country, so for as the chance Of subs,an, ia /
improvement in Our stock, is offered. He
was imported with his dam from England,
where he was sired by the famous Bull
Banquo, of the improved short. horned
DurbaMs-brcd in that country with so
much interest, and SO justly celebrated
there, as superior to all other kinds. The
blood Of the animal will at once be recog.
nized on examination, by the eye of crit,
zeal observer. In addition to this, salts
factory certificates will be produced, on
request, Of his pedigree. and also of the
goodness Of his stock. He has been, the
greater part of the time since he was
brought toi'hs country, kept IN Concord,
IN this state; IN which, and the nelghborlng
towns, his stock Is much admired and
sought after. His hali.bloods, produced
by cross with onr native cows, command
in price, from three to four times more
than our common breeds of The same age
and his introduction there, Is held Of great
benefit and advantage, to The agricultural
interests of that section OF The country
This country, no doubt, is well adapted to
the rearing of the heavier and most ap.
proved ANIMALS, and in this respect, should
rot be placed behind any other, for the pur
pose OF giving currency 10 q smaller and

FROM CHINA.

There were two arrivals at New York on Sunday
from Chna-thc Navigator, from Whampoa, No
vemlcr 81, and the Trenton, November 26.
Affairs Ictwccn the Chinese and English were
daily growing more critical, and Commissioner
Linn hadissucl an cdic', forbidding British goods
10 lie landed under the flags Of other nations, as
had previously been the case, and urging despatch
in loa ing the vessels taken for freight 10 Wham-
poa,'aS it was feared an cdct might he issued,
shutting them out of the Bogue. The Americans
were still in favor and doing profitable business
though it was feared an.cnrc stOppage Of the
foreign trade would soon take place. The papers
contain full account of the battle between the
Chinese lunks and the British frigates. II was
supposed that about 500 of the Chinese, who are
said TO have shown great courage, were murdered
in this affair, while the British received no injury.
The Canton Press contains also an account of the
firing opened by the Chinese batteries on the ship
ping at Hong. Kong, which lasted for some hours,
without doing any damage, not single ball hav-
ing hit any of the ships. No attempt was made TO
return the fire lyth slips and the next day the
whole fleet set sail for Tong Koo Bay.
Hongkong is described by the Captains of the
merchant fleet as a much better anchorage, and
representation to allow the fleet TO remain there,
signed by 35 masters Of ships, was ad,lIcsscl TO
Captain Smith, and also, we believe to Captain
Elliott, but without eject several merchants did
the same with like result. The objection 10 the
anchorage at hongEoo lay arises, we hear, from
the strong tides which prevail there, which render
all communication letwccn the shipping extremely
difficult, and from its open situation, which may
render an atemp, on the part of the Chinese of
firing the fleet success FIJI than AZ llonrkong,
where there j. but Slight clrrcnt. We know not
for what reason Captain Smith would not listen 10
him, except it be that he has, we are told order,
from Admiral Maitland TO protect the fleet al
lOngkoo.

Extract from Mr.. Bucllanan'S
printed Speech.

Sir, solemnly believe that If we could but
reduce this inflated paper bubble to anything like
reasonable dimensions. New England would be-
come the most prosperous manufacturing country
that the sun ever shone upon. Why cannot we ma
nniacurc goods, and especially cotton goods, which
VIII go INTO successful competition with British
manufactures in foreign markets? Have we not
the industry Have we not the machinery And,
above all, are not our skill, energy, and enterprise
provcrbal throughout the world Land is also
cheaper here than IN any other country on the
face of the earth. We possess every advantage
winch Providence can bcstow upon us for the ma
nufactlrc OF cotton; but they are all counterba-
Ianced by the folly Of man.. The raw material
costs us less than il does the English, lecausc this
Is an article the price Of which depends upon foreign
markets, and Is not regulated by our own inflated
currency We, therefore, save the freight ofthe
cotton across the Atlantic, and that of the manu-
featured article on its return here. What is the
reason that, with all these advantages, and with
the protective duties, which our laws afford 10 the
domestic manufacturer ofcotton, we cannot obtain
exclusive possession of the home market, and suc-
cesstully contend for the markets ofthe world
1t is simply because we manufacture at the
nominal prices of our own inflated currency,
and are compelled 10 sell at the real prices of
other nations. Reduce our nominal to the real
standard Of prices throughout the uorid, and
you cover our country with blessings and benefits
wish TO Heaven could speak in a voice loud
enough TO lie heard throughout New England be-
cause, If the attention Of the manufacturers could
once Ike directed TO the subject, their own in,elli-
gencc and native sagacity would teach them how
iniurollsly they are affected by our bioated bank
ing and credit system. and ,couid enable them
to apply the proper CORRECTIVE.
"What Is the reason that our manufactures have
been able to sustain any sort of competition, even
in the home market, with those Of British origin
1t is because England hersefiS, TO a great extent,
