NEW SPANISH JOURNAL,

A gentleman of Spanish descent, but native OF
Louisiana, is now in this city, who proposes to pub
fish in New York Spanish newspaper, called "The
Iris Tropical" He has explained his views to us
and we are satisfied, from his manners, intelligence
and experience that he is emnently qualified to con-
duct it. We publish in another column the prospec-
tus, in the Spanish language; not doubling that in a
country which contains at least 30, 900 Spanish in
habitants in her principal Cities there will be found
patronage sufficient to support it, AS the prospec-
tus justly observes, they want an organ to commu-
ncate the necessary intelligence to the Spanish resi-
dents, and to protect their interests. Why it that
the French and German people should support their
newspapers, and the Spanards, with so numerous a
population and such abundant means, should have
no periodical to interest and inform them,
The intended periodical is to be issued under the
auspices of society of educated young men OF
"known literary reputation" The first specimen
number will be issued at New York in few days,
when, it is hoped it will be received with en,hu-
siasm by the Spanish people. 1t will furnish, too,
the happiest of scattering light and informal
ton over Cuba, Mexico, and South America.

SECRETARY WALKER-THE SUPPRESS
ED COMMISSIONER IMMIGRATION.

Some time since, we reluctantly remarked upon
the grave charge which had been preferred by seve-
raj newspapers against the Hon. r. J. Walker, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, that having been ntrusted
by the governor of Mississippi with commission
to Mr.. Thompson, appointing him to the vacancy
in the Senate created'Dy Mr., Walker going into the
cabinet, that gentleman, from personal motives, hav-
ing dishonorable origin, had suppressed the docu-
ment and thus pasied the will of the executive and
the people of Mississippi At the moment of wri-
ting, we expressed the hope that Mr.. Walker would
deem the charge of sufficient importance to call from
him an explanation, and that he would vindicnte
sissippian," now on our table, that he has dene So
We think he has completely vindca,ed himself from
censure. The Mississippian is Of the opinion,
which paper the first to direct attention to
the matter. The Vicksburg Sentinel is dssatis-
fed; and expresses the opinion that Mr.. Walker
has not told all that he knows-that he has given
statement Of the motives which aciuated him in his
conduct differing from the statements Of Governor
Brown, from whom the commission proceeded. The
Sentinel we deem unreasonable We think II mani
tests the prompting Of some grief At all events
our opinion is favorable to MIR. Walkers expana-
tom and So we doubt not will be those of all who
read his letter; and the wing press so will.

lie functionary and especially the wing press in this
city, we submit whether it is not part Of their

TIE TRooPs.-The fourth regiment frem Camp
Salubrty, passed down on Thursday evening last, on
the steamers Rodolph and Yazoo. The third, from
Fort Jesup, passed down to-day, on the steamers
Cote Joyeuse and De Soto.
The officers and men are burning with enthusiasm,
to see the Rio Grande; and should they have tilt
with Mexico or her allies they will assuredly give a
good account of themselves.
The Arkansas lntegencer says that the same
spirit animaes the officers and men at Fort Towson.
The trial Of Col. Harvey by court-martial there,
for improperly hogging soldiers in Florida, was
brought to close on the 18th ult. 1t was thought
that the gallant colonel would be acquitted.
Gov. Yell, Just from Texas, informs the editor
of the Inelligencer, that Gordon of forts will be
thrown from Fort Washita to the Rio Grande--
Fort Washita to remain, fort to be established on
the head-waters of the Trinity or Colorado, and
to be located on the Rio Grande. San Antonio will
be the place Of headquarters. Three regiments
will be stationed there Immediately. Hurra for our

BRILLIANT INVENTION.

We had the pleasure of Witnessing, to-day, at the
Medical College Of this city, the beautiful machine
invented by Dr. Page, Professor Of Chemistry in the
college, and clerk in the Patent Office, for COM
municating motion by means the galvanic battery.
The whole fxtureis singularly ingenious and prom
ises to open new era in the application Of the
electromagnetic principle to the generation of mo-
ton, and to the arts of life. DIR. Page has no
doubt Of its capacity for propelling the railroad car,
(of course without steam,) at n small expense, and
without the danger of explosion. We congratulate
DIR. 2. on the advantage which he may obtain, and
the pleasure which he enjoys, from devoting his
talents to this noble sciences and we congratulate
our country on the advances which il appears to be
making in this progressive age, from the enterprise
and energy gifts sons. We hope to have an early
opportunity Of giving more detailed account Of the
principle, construction, and advantages of the Doc
tors second machine. Our readers will recollect
that the other day we gave description Of DR.. Ps
ingenious machine for substituting the golvnnic bat
terry in its application to the telegraph, and for rails
ing weights, fixing gunpowder, &c. &c.

The New Orleans Bee ventures the opinion, that
it "s highly probable that the disgust felt by Gene
raj Jackson towards Mr.. Polk, at the dismissal of
Major Lewis, would have led to an open rupture,
had the veteran survived few months longer" No
such thingl Gen. Jackson wished Major Lewis to
be retained; but we do not understand that he ex-
pressed any disgust towards Mr. Polk on the occasion
So far from his feelings running into any serious dis
satisfaction the old General wrote many letters to the
President after the removal, in which he expressed
the best wishes for his happiness and success They
breathe the strongest spirit of confidence and attach
ment. The last letter he ever wrote 1.-TWO days be-
fore his death) was addressed to MIR. Polk, and
was couched in the kindest and most con6ding
terms.
