According to the Chicago News, Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of Michigan money. holds about
the same value there as good eastern bills. Mich
lgan Insurance has no sale at present ST. Clair
is down flat. Farmers and Mechanics, it will be
recollected, was pretty generally distrusted when
St. Clair went down, but it seems that it has re-
gained its standing Our own opinion is, that it
is not worth in reality two shilngs on the dollar,
and when tl.e managers of the concer IN have ex-
haused every shift and expedency to maintain
their credit it will go the way of the ST. Clair con.
Germ, and happy will be those who have none of it.
The same we think of the Wisconsin Fire and Ma
rine Insurance money. and some other money in
circulation among u.s. When the season is ripe
for it they will fail; the vast profits which have &C
cumulated, will fall to the few who understand the
matter and the public will reap the losses. We
consider this the inevitable result; but as palpabe
as 1t is, it appears to be beyond the reach OF the
public to help themselves. The money is forced
mo circulation through those whose necessities
compel them to seek 50 recommendation and il
finds II way among the ma there to become worth
less.

WHEAT.-From some cause, the whole of last
season crop of wheat was marketed during the
fall and winter, There is, of course, none now
seeking market; indeed, we are told that the sup
ply in the country is barely sufficient for the wants
of the people till the crop comes in. Flour
finds ready sale a the mills and at good prices.
Flour brings in our market 81 so per barrel
the promise of most abundant wheat crop still
continues favorable.
The Chicago News of Friday, says: ",rhe re-
ceipts of whea, for the week past have averaged
upwards of 2000 bushels per day. On account of
the rise IN the eastern market. its Price has raised
here, and the demand for it will continue Its rise.
Buyers are paying so to 81 cents for shipment.
There have been two shipments made the past week
one of 5000 bushels. and another of 1000. Potatoes
sell al from % % cents, out of the wagons The
Gemand is greater than the supply. Oats are very
scarce, and are worth "a cents per bushel. Corn
shelIed, brings so cents per bushel. In the ear 40
cents.

urday the receipts have been very heavy amount
ing 20 about %, 900 bushels of wheat-20 900 bbls

One Day LATER FROM MExICo.-The
Creoe at New Orleans on the 9th inst,
brings one day latter advices from Mexico.
We get the following paragraphs from the
Picayunc:
We have again TO say that Mexico has
not yet declared war aga INST the United
States, although rumors we're rife in town
yes erday that she had done so. The sub
ject was a very general topic OF conversa-
lion yesterday, but no one we presume
seriously believed in the rumor. At any
rate, i, WIS treated With delsion. Verbal
communications fiom some Of the passen-
gers by the Creole represent that the gen.
eral feeling at Vera Cruz is in favor o.:
war, and that the prevailing impression
there is that tie Government will declare
it soon as it finds itself in situation TO do
so with effect.
The four American vessels oil war we..,
still lying u: Sacriiicois. Sa..oud Capt
Stockton's squn4iron join them, as is an,lci-
n"tcc33, the fleet will consist of eight vessels
Of war, mounting in all l54 guns.
By this arrival we hear not a word more
Of Mr.. Shannon the American Minister.
The mos, interesting intelligence which
we find, relates TO the fate oil Santa Ana
and those involved in his overthrow. A
proposition has been introduced in the
Chamber Of Deputies ,ha, Santa Ana, Ca
alto and the four Ex-Minislers who took
part part in issuing the decree on the 18th
Of November, closing the sessions of Con
gress, may avoid trial upon the condition
Of expa;riating themselves for the term of
ten years AT the same time another prop
osilion was submitted; to the effect that an
absolute amnesty should be granted to all
those generals and other officers compre-
hended in the circular Of tho 9Th January,
dcpciviag them of their commands, &c,
even though they had been already sea-
fenced.

THE BApTisTs AND METuoDIsrs.-For
many years past the General Conference
Of the Baptist and Methodist Churches,
have been scenes Of animated, and some
times excited scuss: ons on the subject Of
slavery. The southern members have
done nothing. as far as We know, to pro-
woke these, but on the contrary have been
willing TO unite with their northern broth
ers in all good works. The latter, howev
err, have by degrees come 10 claim the
right to dictate to the South, and by
strength of numbers are uble to out vote
Them in Conference. The northern Me-
thodisls contend that no Shareholder be or
dained n Bishop, or be suffered to remain
in the Episcopacy The northern Bap,ists
contend for the same rule in relation 10
Missionaries. This is what is vulgarly
called, whipping the devil around the
stump They both mean nothing less
than that slavery is unchrstian, and thus
place most of their southern brethren un
der the law Of accommodation.
The South protests vehemen,ly against
such an assumption Of power at the North,
and affairs having ROW como to crisis
when the plain facts of the case cannot be
CLOSED over or concealed, demand divis-
ion of the Church, so that they may pur-
sue their christian laLors without beiE e
dictated to about their own local concerns
by distant strangers. Each being in mi
nority in its General Conference, neither
can get redress there, SO that they are now
obliged to take the position Of Seceders.
The only difficulties accustomed by this
course arise from the C mmon property OF
each church, and the Missionary o,ganiza
ton. The former being el, in the hands
of the majority, it probably viii not con-
sen, to give up the southern proportion OF
the property, SO the efficacy of the latter
would be seriously weakened by division.
But Notwithstanding these difficulties
the separation mus. inevitably take place.
Our readers have been from time TO time
informed OF the proceedings OF tho Metho-
dist Convention at Louisville. and the Bap-
list Convention at Augusta, called Cor the
purpose Of concentrating the act Of sep
aralon, which in feeling had already ia
ken place. That at Augusta which has
now adjourned, after most elaborate dis
custom of the subject. finally passed on
the 9Th inst by n unan nous vote, reso-
luton declaring their complete indepcnd

1FOur exchanges are wonderfully devoid
of any news of interest, at The present time.
The excitement with regard to our Mexican
and British affairs appears TO have subsidized
the opinion being general that there will be
no trouble with Great Britain, and in all pro-
babiliy. none with Mexico. We never be.
LEVIED for moment that contingency
could arise which wonld plunge England and
the Unted States into war with each 9th
or, for the reason that every interest of those
who have the controlling power in the two
governments, points entirely different way.
Ii has been the case, that TO dictate war has
belonged 10 those who had nothing TO do
with paying for it, and hence war has sprung
up wherever revenge, ambition, or other mo-
tive desired it. 1t is different now; they
who pay for it, control it, and although men
may be reused TO waste their blood on tr-
Hing occasions, it must be a most powerful
motive to induce them 10 waste their money.
Every power Of negotiation and honorable
compromise must be exhausted before En-
gland and America will go to war; con,in-
gency which, we have net the least idea,
will ever occur.
With Mexico il it is different. War there
IS not exactly within the control of the in
finencc that pays, and hence may be more
rashly embarked in. 1t is possible that I'M
der the influence of passion Mexico may
commit aggressive acts. requiring correspon-
ding summary measures on our part: but we
think not We doubt, if she had not been
melted by the an,i-American spirit manfcs-
ted by wings and aboliiioniss here, whe,he.
she would have set up a claim to the terri
tory OF Texas, SO manifesiiy uniounded is
such claim. If she can coercc us bp hostile
demonstrations into an abandonment of our
designs with regard to Texas, she will do it.
but II she cannot, she can hardly have suf
hclent confidence in The justice of her claims
to go 10 war, in our opinion. But we shall
see what we shall see; satisfied of one thing
that ii either or both the countries 90 to war
with us. right is on our side, which is more
than half the battle.
