IMPORTANT FROM THE Az.
MY

We hasten TO lay before our readers
today late and highly important intelIl
gencc from our army in Mexico. The
news was brought by the steamer M'Kim
at New Orleans, and we copy from the
columns of the Picayune at that place.
From this intelligence we are led to
believe that decisive battle is near at
hand Santa Annals proclamation, it
appears, has had the effect to arouse that
people from their apathy; and we may
now look for a contest Of results, which
will no doubt end in the triumphant
success of our arms.
The steamship McKim arrived at
New Orleans on the 22nd inst. from
Brazos Santiago, with dates from Serial
70, or more properly CsrroIco, to the 9TH
inst. She brought, moreover, an extra
OF the American Flag, published at
Matamoras, containing letter dated the
9th inst, from Camargo, in which the
following passage occurs, which caused
lively sensation in the city:

order indicated in the hand-bills, with
the exception, that W. A. LEE, a stu

THE EMIGRANTS,

AS it was last week, so it is this. Ore
gonites and California emigrants have been
pouring in upon US by quantities. From
every quarter they seem 10 come-prepared
and unprepared TO meet every emergency.
We look out upon them, and are astonished
to see such careless ease and joyousness
manifested in the countenances Of almost
all--the old, the young, the strong ard fee
ble-the sprghtly boy and the rombing
girl, all plod along, as if the jaunt was only
tor few miles instead of q ,housand-as
il a weeks troubles were to terminate their
vexa,ions and annoyances forever. What
an idea it gives us, and what an nsgh, in
TO human nature-HoPE, the bright, beam.
ing star, is high ascending in their sky, allu.
ring them on TO peace and enjoyment, and
constantly betokening better prospects and
more delightful days. Anticipating an in.
terminable season OF pleasure and delight,
they 60 forward with easy tread, willing to
brave all danger and run every risk, if they
may bu, attain that favored spot, und there
sit down, determined to be contented the re-
mainder OF their days.
The company to California seems 10 be
increasing in numbers much over that OF the
one to Oregon-this point California; has
mad decidedly the preference IN the minds
OF majority. and we would not be much
surprised, il when the separating time comes
en- route, that all will be merged in one, ana
the iairer southern spot, even at the risk of
expatrlalion, will be the one chosen.
Two or three more such companies as
those that have gone out for year OF so
past and will 60 this, will do more 10 settle
the vexed question OF territorial rights, than
millions OF blood and treasure, when expen-
ded in the most judicious and economical
form by our national worthless. This tide
OF emigration will pour on, despite Of every
opposing effort, and if only a..sIight impetus
is given to it. the iorce..wi,h which it will
sweep into these territories is hey ond all
calculation. American enterprise will be
displayed in the rapid settlement and civil
cation Of these barbarous spots, as much as
it ever was on the eastern shores of this
land, and if a footing is once obtained by
our hardy pioneers, their thirsty sands will
SON begin to give out wealth enough 10 in

We observe that mode of harbor de-
fence, by an ingenious "sub marine expo-
sve apparatus" which we have before no.
,iced as having commended itself to the We
ny favorable consideration Of the naval
committee Of the House Of Representatives
in the last Congress, has again been made
the subject OF report from the same COM
mittee OF the present House, urging upon
Congress such action as may be proper to
apply to the apparatus to the impo.-
,ant purpose for which it is designed
The invention appears, from the report, to
have stood the test of the most rigorous
professional experiment. The cost Of it is
very triling, and it is declared by the very
highest authority, both scientific and prac-
tical, TO be entirely efficient in lis operation.

GEN. GAINES idea of republican soldery
is well worthy the attention Of our lawgiv-
ers. There is more Of manly truth than
professional arrogance in this. "Every SOL
der and every seaman-volunteer or regu-
lar should be made to know, to a moral GER
tanty, that military mind, high moral cour-
age and moral conduct will alone insure his
promotion and that to cringe and crouch
abou, the War Department, in the hope Of
obtaining promotion BY intrigue or other
party devices, is never more to result in any
thing but disgrace to the unworthy aspirant.
This modification, added 10 provision Of
law requiring every Cadet and every Mid
shipman to perform hard labor in building
Forts, Railroads, Floating Batteries and
other war steamers for at least months
in every year, until they graduate, would
render our Military and Naval Academies
great public benefit and a national bles-
sing. Without the proposed notifications
they may become a national curse, as the
history OF every military and naval move
ment during state Of war, is history Of
incessant labor on the part Of every officer,
soldier and seaman, from the General or Ad.
miral down 10 the private soldier and ordi-
nary seamen inclusive. Our glorious Rev
olution was achieved, not by fashionable
handles, with fingers too delicate to handle
the small hammer or Ratchet, but BY hard
handed workmen, many Of whom had in ear
ly life been accustomed to WELD the sedge-
hammer, the pick axe and the plough"

Magnetism, which has puzzled the scien.
,ifc world so long is slowly developing IT,
self, but each new discovery seems only
calculated TO excite more intense interest
in the investigation. a few months ago
Professor Faraday discovered reaction
between light and electricity, which crea-
ted as great a sensation in the scientific
world as the discovery of the influences Of
galvanism did among the medical profess.
ion. Faraday, in continuing his expert
men,s, discovered, last January or Februa-
~, a new magnetic principle, which he
calls diamagnelsm," because bodies inhu-
enced by it or continuing it (as bismuth,
phosphorus, water, &c.) place themselves
at RICH, angles TO those Gron, nickle, &c.)
which contain the magnetic principle
Tha, is, the diamagnetic current moves
across the magnetic current. For example,
needles made OF gold, zinc, tin, lead, or flint
glass, delicately suspended between the
poles Of powerful electro magnet, will ar.
range themselves at right angles with the
line connecting the poles; while needles
made of iron, nickle, cobalt, platinum, or
osnium, suspended alongside OF them, will
arrange themselves in conformity with the
poles OF the magnet. A curious property
of the diamagnetics is, that they possess no
polarity, two needles diamagnetically excl
ted exercising no alteration or repulsion
over each other. He ascribes all the phe.
nomena OF diamagnetics 10 the principle
that all of their particles exercise repul
sign fer the poles Q. TIE magnetic
