Mech anics! Hear,

| An Irish stone-cutter requests US to inform his
brethren that, when our Custom House was built,
(as he knows, fer he worked on it) while the plain
stone were obtained in this country, all the figured
caps of the columns were purchased ready made
in Italy, and the American stone-cutter deprived
of the work upon them, because labor is cheaper
in Italy than here. So the magnificent Patent Of
fee at Washington is paved in mosaic, with
hewn and polished in Germany, while American
stone-cutters are vainly seeking employment

with British Hats, poured in by the cargo under
our Revenue Tariff. Ofcourse, the Hating busi-
ness here was brought to dead stand every
louineyman wes discharged from Maine to Geor-

trade, found it worthless in his hands, and was
obliged to betake himself to something else or
starye. No matter how low our Hatters might
have made hats then, the market was so glutled
with the Foreign article that no others would sell
at all. He found work at something else, and has
never since made Hat, but he does not the less
sympathize with his brethren who have since been
exposed to similar revulsons, and will be again if

LATE FROM TEXAS.

The Steamer Neptune came up to the
wharf this morning at 2 O'Clock. TO the
politeness Of her clerk we are indebted
for Galveston papers of the 4th, and
Houston of the 1st inst. No battles at
last dates. The invasion by Arsta with
$4,000 men is regarded as certain. The
news is interesting though not very "war-
like" The MeXcans had made no inya-
sion up to the last dates
The editor Of the Galveston Advertiser
apprcdcnds visit from Arista. In his
paper Of the 4th inst he says: awhile at
the Rancho of Aubry & Kinney, we had
full and free conversation with the enter
prlsing proprietors Of that place, and with
several other gentlemen resident there,
and from them we learn that as far as
they had been able to obtain information,
the immediate invasion of Texas by a
large force under Arista was intended.
The captain of the company who visited
the Rancho, with Arisrts proclamation
captain Arana) stated that it was the in
tention OF Arlsta to enter the country with
l4.0Oo men, that he would take possession
Of Santa Antonio and Victoria, and estab-
lish those two places this spring, and
pursue his operations through the remain
der Of Texas the following season."
We are inclined to think, however,
there is a small sprinkle Of guess in the
much talked Of invasion. The previous
report of the force Of the invaders who
captured Santa Antonio and Golliad, is
confirmed VIM. B. Jacks, who was cap
tured at San Antonio, has addressed a let
ter to Geo. M. Dolson and others, atAus-
tin, in which he states that from the con-
versaton he had with the Mexican officers
he cannot believe the Mexican govern
ment intended an Invasion The troops
while in town were laboring under contn-
ual alarm of being attacked by the Amer
leans.
He says the Mexican troops never had
any idea of attacking Austin, and would
never had ventured to Bexar had they not
procured hearty encouragement from
nearly every Mexican citizen Of thatlplace.
We lean verbally that the Fexian forces
are concentrating on the Colorado, and
the Country is full Of volunteers. The
Steamer Lahtte has returned to Galveston
without meeting any Mexicans. The diff.
hcuIty, between France and Texas has
been amicably arranged, and M. de Sa.
lgny will shortly resume his official sta
ton. ....

PREGNANT QUESTIONS. IT he New York

PREGNANT QUEsTIoNs.-The New York
Evening Post propounds certain interroga-
tories to the Homo Leaguers which we
should like to see answered.:
l. Whether it be not piece of practical
injustice to make man pay ten dollars for
a coat when he can buy it for seven!
2. Whether American industry is not as
much encouraged, when it receives large
reward from abroad, as when it receives a
small reward, or no reward at all at home!
3. Whether, when American produc-
tons are exchanged for foreign manuiac-
lures, the latter are not as much the result
of American labor, as if made by Ameri-
can hands?
4. Whether it be not a fact, that during
the eight years, from 1888, the period IN
which there has been constant reduction
of duties, the exports of the United States
have not exceed the exports for an equal

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER The
Baltimore papers Of yesterday bring &C
counts Of terrible disaster on board the
steamboat Medora, at that city, on Thurs
day, by which many lives were lost and
many other persons severely injured. II
seems that she was new boat, and was
just starting on an experimental trip
Some of the Directors of the Company and
their friends, were on board. At about 3
O'Clock, just as the wheel had made two
revolutions in starting, the boiler exploded
with loud noise, volumes Of smoke and
steam rushed into the air, and the beauti-
full boat was shattered wreck. The boil
er was thrown crosswise the deck, the
whole forward part Of the boat was torn in
pieces, many persons were drowned, 9th
ers were blown into the air or crushed by
falling timbers, and the whole scene was
one Of agony. terror and desolaton. The
boat soon sunk to the bottom. So far as
could be ascertained, there are 10 persons
killed and 81 badly scalded, some probably
fatally.

STEAM BArTERY.-One appropriation among the
many of the kind called for by the present exigen-
cies of the country, has received the approval of
Congress- The sum of $3.50, 900 has been granted
for the purpose of constructing a floating Steam
Battery, to be built of iron and intended for the de-
fence of New York Harbor. The steamer is to be
so constructed as to render it shot and shell proof
the engine and propelling machinery to be so
placed, that they will be entirely submerged below
the surface of the water, and so eectually guarded
as to be invulnerabe to the shot of an enemy. 1t
is designed to combine all the advantages of ship,
floating battery, and an Iron Fort.

NATIONAL DEFENcE.-A criminal apathy and in
difference has pervaded Congress, relative to the
means of our National defence in the event of
1t is the apparent weakness and incapability
of the United States, to compete successfully
the water with foreign powers, which leads to our
being less feared abroad and our rights less scru-
pulously respected on the high seas While Eng
land and the other nations of Europe, assidu-
ously directing their efforts the enlargement of
their naves, and rapidly multiplying the number of
their steam ships of war; the United States are do
ing comparatively nothing by way of augmenting
of warfare. While England has an
hundred steam ships of war, and many more in
progress of building, the United States have but
two ready for efficient service. 1t is granted on all
hands that if hostites shall ever be waged be-
tween this country and Great Britain the scene of
action will be chiefly of a naval character. 1t is
also admitted that many causes for apprehension
exist, and that our present relations with England
are OF such character, to induce the belief that
our difficulties cannot be amicably adjusted, and
that the final result will be resort arms Such
is the tone of sentiment in Congress, and such is
the constant expression ofopnion, IN every quarter
Notwithstanding such is the condition of the
country, Congress neglect to provide for the emer
gency, and continue waste the time of the session
and the public money of the nation in profigate
and useless debates. There has been an abundance
of war speeches made during the'presept session,
and much Wanting of physical strength and
national valor; but upon questions pertaining to
the necessity of our immediate preparation for ma
tional defence, there has been an unwarrantable
disposition to delay, and thwart measures des gned
to subserve the present wants of the country
With the exception of the appropriation for the de-
fence of New York harbor which we notice in an
other place, the remainder of our extended sea-
board is left to be protected as best it can, and by
means which are not at all suited to the modes of
modern warfare. We DO not suppose that the Uni
ted States, even with our present means of defence
are in imminent danger of being overrun by the
enemy in case of war between this country and
Great Britain; but we should doubtless avoid
much unnecessary bloodshed, loss of property and
suffering, by being prepared for the conflict. The
losses which We would sustain in consequence of
our want of being in readiness, would be infinitely
greater than the cost of the preparation, necessary
to avoid the loss.

u England would have herself considered
by the world as pattern of all the virtues
with which governments should be endowed. Lii
berty! Liberty is shouted from the gold covered
throne of the monarch. and re-echoed by the thou

them to the degree of perfection which they seem
to think exists in their own What is the true state
of the case. In no other country orkingdom in the
world probably, does the form of government and
the policy of its rulers entail more crushing misery
upon the people, than that of England. Whilst she
boasts of the abolition of slavery in her dominions,
and is loud in hypocritical cant, and whilst her en-
missarles are busy in their misguided zeal, there is
in fact more real slavery without the name, in her
dominions, than in half the rest of the world. The
soldiers she employs in her boosted right of search

We find in one Of our Campeachy pa
pers Of the 18th ult. statement Of the
force of the Mexican army, that had just
been received by an arrival from Vera
CRUZ. The force actually on foot, and
mounted, was upwards af 10000 men;
and although not thoroughly disciplined at
the time, there was no doubt it would be-
come nearly perfect, from the usual excr-
,ions and activity displayed by the officers
to effect that object. The army was sta
toned thus: $500 in Xalapa; 1880 in
Porote; 1000 in Pueba; 500 in Vera
Cruz; 1900 in Uina; 1000 in the capt.
tai, and the remainder from various points.
No mention is made Of a probable move
ment Of this army upon Texas; and, in
deed, it is believed few Of them can safe
ly be spared from their present locations.
The papers state that great struggle is
preparing for the next Presidency, the
candidates being Santa Ana, Valencia and
Paredas, and with every PROBABILITY that
the former will succeed.--Neao Orleans
