Oh come, come away,
Intemperance forsaking,
The poison-cup surrender up,
On come, come away;
Disease and death are in the bowl,
And swift destruction to the soul.
Then from its base control,
On come, come away,
For pain and the woe,
And all the drunkard's anguish,
Cold water sure's a speedy cure,
Then come, come away;
Q "touch not, taste not, handle not"
The fiery liquid in the pot
OF rum gin-piping hot,
But come, come away.
When sparkleth the VINE,
When reddeneth its color,
Then lift not up the fatal cup,
But turn, turn away;
LOOh uOI uPOu II lACu, iOISOOlA,
It biIeth. like serpent's tooth,
Old age and blooming youth,
So come, come away.
When sweet Temperance,
Wife, husband, children blessing,
With evening songs her note prolongs,
On come, come away;
For surer far is he 10 cure
His ills whose drink is water pure,
And life's tolls TO endure,
Then come, come away.
Away to the polls!
Old men and young advancing,
With nerves of steel and hearts that feel,
Oh come, come away;
Like Freemen take noble stand,
A true and noble band,
And vote the monster from the land,
Oh come, come away!

and his excellent wife would be delighted
with this climate and country. Monterey
is represented as being the most desirable
of places, and this city is certainly home
where any one might stay with gladness'
especially when so many objects of mercy
were around him, and the opportunity tor
doing good so great know you are rea-
dy-but are you not willing to intimate to
the proner authorities your willingness to
come next wear. wish you would wtite
me inst a line, and tell what our general
conference has done, and whether we are
in separate conferences. receive few
letters, but my friends have not informed
me on these subjects.
We will change our encampment in a
few DAYS, by going ten miles up the Rio
Grande, and there remain until Gen. Tay-
Tor receives orders. This place is low,
fiat, and muddy in rain-no trees or bushes
near US; that am told is high, and has
some trees. We know nothing of our lu-
ture movements, and doubt whether Gen.
Taylor does. He is not pleased with the
course of our great men at Washington
and speaks of it. Can you not send me
the jackson papers occasionally, &c.

Discussion among the Jews in London.

DSsenslonS have lately occurred among
the Jews Of the metropolis which are dali
ly assuming a more serious aspect, and
promise to end ere long in an entire break
up of the Jewish community. Nor are
The differences which exist among the
London Jews confined 10 their own syna-
gogues they have extended to the cOun-
try, and ere agitating the synagogues of
Liverpool, Portsmouth, and other places.
The new sect call themselves the Reform
eG Jews an expression which sufficiently
denotes the principles and purposes of the
seceders Nothing in history perhaps
constitutes case so nearly parallel to this
movement among the Jews, as the Retor-
nation in Germany, in the beginning OF
the 10Th century.
Tae Reformed Jews claim the right OF
exercising their own judgment in all relI-
gious matters. They refuse TO surrender
their judgment TO that of the Rabbits
They interpret Scripture for themselves,
and regard The Talmud, hitherto held In
the highest reverence by the Jewish COM
munity, as no better than bundle of ia
bles. Corresponding reforms are made in
the service of the synagogue. Practices
which the body from whom they have sepa-
rated represent, as having been most rell-
giously observed from the days of Moses
10 the present time, have been unceremo
nousIy dispensed with by the congrega'
ton of Reformed Jews in the Burton ST
synagogue. They have carried the system
ofinnovation so lar as 10 publish newpray'
er books of their own. The result OF the
secession, and of the innovations made or
the old opinions and observances in the
lsraeIltIsh community, has been precisely
what might have been expected. Those
who remain have communicated those
who have left, and treat them not only a:
schismatcs, but as in6dels and profane per
sons. DIR. Alder, the chief Rabbi, has no
only determined refusing all religious pri
vileges to the seceders, but on Withholding
marriage licenses from members of the
congregations under his superinlendence
who NAV propose to enter into matrimo
NAL union with any member of the Burtor
st. or West London synagogue-the place
in which the new sect stately meet fo
worship. LondOn Balance.

The war between the United States and
Mexico engrosses public attention in Eng
land. The victories of the Americans on
the Rio Grande has changed public feeling
both in England and France from SYM
pathy for the Mexicans 10 contempt. The
change Of opinion, however, is as unjust
TO the Mexcans as the former feeling was
to the Americans. The Mexicans deserve
much credit for their gallant stand, and il
was onl y the superior tact and energy OF
Gen. Taylor and his brave little army that
overthrow them. Lou. Democrat.

FROM THE Rio GRANDE.-Reports from
Monterey stale that the town and the ap-
proaches TO it are being put in a complete
state of defence, and that considerable
body of the Mexican army is stationed
there.
1t is understood that Gen. TAYLOR will
advance at the earliest moment that he
can establish depot at Comargo, which he
designs to make the base of operations to-
wards Monterey. A part of the Mexican
tactics is to prevent the supplies ofthe cOun-
try, as far as possible, from reaching the
American army. For this purpose, it is
stated that CANALEs and his band Of par.
tlzans have been engaged IN driving of
the cattle from all the surrounding coun.
try. or course, therefore, 1t will no
answer for any forward movement to be
made except with abundant provision
transports. To the proposed depot at Co
MARCO it is designed to use steamboats, fol
transportation. Thence however an i'm
mense number of wagons will be required
Much dissatisfaction, it is said existed
among the six month volunteers, on the re
ceipt of the order, that they should enlist
for twelve months or be disbanded.

The ST. Louis Republican says that Gen.
Urea, who, it is said, is advancing with a
force of from 3 to 5000 men, upon Santa
Fe, with view of defending that section
of the Republic Of Mexico from invasion,
is said to be a man of approved courage
and military capacity. Should he make
his appearance there in time to avail him
self of the best point to repel Invasion, as
he, doubtless, has done, he may give the
force under the command of Col. Kearney
something to do before possession of New
Mexico is obtained In his absence, how
ever, and with the acknowledged disposi
ton of Arm1o to show the Americans all
possible favor, very little, if any opposition
will be made TO the entrance of Col. Kear.
ney into that department of the Republic
1t will be, we suppose, the middle or latter
part of August before Col. Kearney can
cross the Rio del Norte, and Gen. Urea
has, unquestionably, full time TO prepare
for his reception. The prospect of resls
lance, only gives to the expedition a little
more interest, and all eyes will be hence
forth on the watch for news from that quar-
ter. Lou. Dem.

MVsTERToUs AND PERHAPS IMPORTANT -
An eminent commercial house of this city
has received instructions TO charter a yes
sci, either for Vera Cruz or TampIco, for
the purpose of conveying thirher a gentle
man who has recently arrived at the
North, from England together with four
companions. The letter to that effect,
which has been exhibited to US, states that
the party in question have powerful reG-
sons for avoiding the Havana route, APP
piled to our government, at Washington,
for permission to proceed to Mexico unmo-
Tested, and to charter a vessel with that
view at New Orleens. The request was
not only granted, but Instructions have
been forwarded to Commodore Conner, to
facilitate the object of the travellers, by
transferring them on board of an English
man-of- war, from whence they can be ca
silly landed at either of the above men,
toned places. The vessel will be ready
10 leave by the LIST of July.
The gentleman in question is a near
relative of the Mexican Ambassador in
London, and is waiting, probably at New
York, for dispatches by the Caledonia
steamer now due. His movements may
have some connection with the existing
state of affairs in Mexico. At all events
the inference is not improbable.

The RancherOS of MeYlen..

We copy from an Albany paper the fol-
lowing description of the Mexican Ran
cheros:
at will have been observed in the seve-
raj statements that have from time to time
been put forth, relative to the material for
the Mexican armies, and more particularly
the one which the American troops had
Just encountered, that mention is made of
description of troops called Rancheros.
This is an appellation derived from their
occupation and mode of life, and is COM
mon to similar class of men who subsist
on the pampas of South America. Half
Indian and half Spanish in their extrac-
ton, gaunt, shriveled, though muscular in
their frames, and dark and swarthy visaged
as they are, these men are the Arabs of the
American continent. Living half of the
time in the saddle (for they are unrivalled
horsemen) with lasso in hand, they ira
verse those vast plains in search of buffalo
and wild horse, who roam there in count
less herds The killing of these animals
and the preparation and sale of their hides
is their sole means OF livelihood, other
than occasionally lending a helping hand
to some of the partizans in the civil wars
that have continually been waged around
them. Their costume generally consists
of pair of tough hide leggings, with san
dals Of the same material, bound together
with leather thongs, over which is blan-
ket with hole in the centre, large enough
TO allow the head to be thrust out, and
which falls not ungracefuIy over their
shoulders, leaving ample room for the play
of their arms. Add to this broad som
brero, and the lasso hanging ready for use
in his girdle, and you have the Rancherc
as he appears in peace, or in the pursuit
Of his occupation. Join TO this long
lance, with sharp spear head, ornament
ted with a strip of bunting, on horse
as savage and unmanageabIe as himself
his belt plentifully supplied with pistols
and knives, and you have the Ranchero a
a member of troop of Bandiltl, or as ,
soldier in a body of cavalry.
"COwardly as they generally are in tn
open field, yet in conflict among the cha
parrals of Mexico or in an ambuscade, the,
are indeed formidable enemy. Thei
power of enduring fatigue is almost mex
haustble, and a scanty meal per dieu
of jerked beef and plantain sufices then
during months.
"Such are the Rancheros and under dis
cipined control, they would be rendere
the best light troops in the world. Thes
are the men who comprise the great bod
Of the Mexican cavalry, and they are t
the armies of that nation, what the Cos
sacks are to the Russians-ever on tn
alert, never to be surprised, and unit
ring in pursuit of the foe, when plumber
no matter how trfiing is to be obtained"
