LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS. The Picayune
gives the following brief sketch of matters and
things in New Orleans
Well, here we are in the ides of August, with
a superiiuty OF sun and not the first symptoms Of
an epidemic. Buildings are rising and the river
is falling the thermometer is about SO; the
Mexican war fever still higher; mosquitoes are
busy as bees; and at the present time much
more numerous than suckers; business is dull as
the woman's knife that would not cut butter un-
less it was heated, and cheese (the only thing re-
tanning animation) is as lively party of High
land dancers. Business, as business, is at per-
feet stand-still; whilst the ladies' having divest-
ed themselves of their stays, and relinquished
tight Iacing, are gongit'' in gowns +" with a
perfect looseness'

A METEOR. A meteor of very unusual size
and brilliancy was observed on Monday evening,
by several individuals in this place, at about
twenty-five minutes past seven o'clock. 1t issu-
ed from point nearly on the meridian and at an
elevation of about 45 deg. from the horizon. The
color, on its first appearance was deep red near
ly that of the planet Mars few degrees below,
which it also resembled in size. About the mid
die OF its course it assumed blueish appearance
and afterwards nearly white. 1t Increased rapid
y, and in the middle of its flight was at least half
as large as the full moon. From the middle I'M
til it disappeared, it seemed to expand and dimin-
ish in brightness, resembling very nearly the
tail of the great comet visible two or three years
since. Kissing sound was distinctly heard du-
ring its passage. 1t moved from point little
west of north to another little south of east,
over space OF some thirty degrees

On quarter of an acre of this same land he has
raised the present year, garden sauce which he
has sold in the Lowell market for one hundred

COPPER MINES OF LAKE SUPERIOR. A

scattered over the country, equal in extent TO the

THE EXPENSE OF ACQUIRING TEXAS.


AO PAYS!
1t is already ascertaned that the expense of ac-
curing Texas will be very great, even if we
should not be involved in hostilites, with Mexico,
which is now extremely probable. The expense
OF the preparations which our government are
making will approach nearly to the actual expense
OF War itself, unless it should be carried on af-
ter the fashion of the Florida War; in order to
furnish plumber to Loco Foco contractors and Ar
my agents. 1t opens favorably for these gentry
at all events. The New Orleans Picayune of
July 23d says that the Steamboats, Undine d" had
been chartered as a Tighter for the troops to
Texas at three hundred and fifty dollars a dag,
for thirty days certain - How many more days
she will be employed by Government upon the
same morderate terms, we do not pretend to know,
but probably, as in the case of the first Florida
War, she will be kept in service long enough to
pay for herself halt dozen times over.
This is but single specimen of the way in
which the Army Agents and Contractors fleece
the U. s. Treasury. For this and ten thousand
other equally extravagant charges which have
already been, and will continue to be made let us
enquire-WHO PAYS?
WHO PAYS?
Troops are marched to the pestilential plains of
Texas to die, if not by the swords of the Mexi-
cans or Camanches, certainly by disease ships
are chartered at hundreds of dollars per day;
squadrons are maintained in the Gulf of Mexico;
dry-docks erected; an unascertained debt assum-
ed-we all know for what-to fasten the curse of
human slavery upon us-that Texas stock and
land owners may realize their 1000 per cent, and
that the Loco Foco Army and Navy Contractors
and Agents may plunge their arms into National
Treasury up to their shoulders For all this we
repeat-WHO PAYS?
