JERSEY MUsQUtToEs.-The Jersey Mosquitoes
know a little more than Southern gallinippers,
five may believe a tale in the N. Y. Morning
News as related to the editors of that journal,
A well known author, who resides in the "true
blue"state, has been sadly annoyed for many
years by the operations of the musquitoe,
and at the beginning Of this season, he purchas-
ed a couple Of nets with which he completely
covered his bed. On several mornings he no.
ticed upon rising, that these nets were covered
with blood, and that his person was plentifully
adorned by small punctures. Curious to
know the cause, he kept awake one night,
when he ascertained that the mosquitoes had
procured straws, stuck them through the nets,
and sucked his blood as a liquor-fancieI
takes a Julep.

lNFAMoUs.-The following account of a con-
temptible trick pructised by the Washington
Union, is furnished by the Philadelphia North
american.
Il. ITtcE.-In the "Union," the government
'organ" of Monday evening, the day previous
to the passage of the Tariff bill in the Senate.
while yet its fate was still doubtful, appeared
an article, in the shape of a communication.
but introduced by a flourish of the editorial
pen, speaking of the passage Of the River and
Harbor bill in the Senate, and of the bill itself
as the great western measure, and also highly
e%ulogizing Mr.. Breese of the Senate, for his ex-
eftlons in carrying this measure through the
Senate.
From this article it was inferred that the
River and Harbor bill would meet the approba.
ton, and receive the signature of Mr.. Polk,
and when his private Secretary was asked whe.
Their he would sign the bill, | understand he re-
ierred the person inquIring to the article in the
Union, as aiording a satisfactory answer
But now, mark the sequel. The Tariff passed
the Senate, with an amendment, on Tuesday,
and went to the House the next day, when the
amendment was concurred in, and the bill was
sent to the President for his signature.
It being safe, having cleared all continpen.
cies, got over the breakers, and into the hand.
Of Mr., Polk, on Wednesday night Mr.. Richie
comes out and says that the editorial article. in
Producing the communication spoken Of. wa,
never seen by him, and goes further and say,
that heis ''nOt prepared to subscribe to the in,
terence which has been drawn fromthe appear
ance Of the article in relation to the Hnrboi
bill" In other words-as the Tariff bin h
passed, the President intends to veto the Har
Dor bill, and therefore | can't approve it. VIII,
did not Mr.. Richie make the disclaimer in III,
next Union? Why did he wait till the secon,
day! Because the article was intended TO SO
cure sundry western votes for the British Tariff
bill, and had the disclaimer been made N,
evening before the amendment Of the sena,
was concurred in by the House, the bill mich
not have been passed. It was a mean, poltrv
quibbling, pettifogging TRICK, to take in Oh,
members from the West who cared more 70
the passage Of the River and Harbor bill tha,
they did for the Tariff bill. It was a Ritchteism
the conception Of cunning mind and a dis
honest heart.

Dr. seoresby, Of Ireland, whose admirable
dlscourses on Astronomy have been arranged
after the examination Of the stellar system
through the magnificent instrument of ord
hosse, remarks in a recent lecture. that with
regard to the lunar orb, every object on the
moons surface is now distinctly to be seen .
and he had no doubt that under very favorable
circumstances it would be SO with objects sixty
ieet IN height. On its surface were craters Of
e1unct volcanoes, rocks and masses of stone
almost lnnumerable. He had no doubt what
ever that if such a building as he was then in
were upon the sulface of the moon, i, would
be rendered distinctly visible by these instru.
ments. But there were no signs of habitatiops
such as ours; no vesiiges of architectural re-
mains, to show that the moon is or ever w.a
inhabited by a race Of mortals similar n onr-
selves It presented no appearance which
could lead to the supposition that it contained
anything like the green fields and lovely YER
dufe o. this beautiful world of ours. There
was no water visible not a sea or river. al

How unfortunate are the Editors Of Demo-
cratic papers who presume to speak Of the
acts of Mr.. Polk, before they get their cue from
the organ; and even sometimes when they do
speak by its authority. Every one remembers
how fat the small fry felt, after they had lusti-
ly declared "the whole Of Oregon or none' to
be the true democratic creed, and then found
that Polk had backed out. Latterly, we have
had another exhibition of the same sort, on the
River and Hurbor Bill. Various members Of
Congress having written home that they had
triumphed over false friends and open enemies,
(never d%roadiDg o veto, after the article in the
Organ praising the River billy but finding it
was only a ruse to get their votes for the Brit
ish Free Trade bill, and thatthe River bill was
vetoed, they felt particularly fiat. Again; the
Post, a loco foco paper, denounced the Califor-
MIA rumor as a SANDER upon the Administra-
ton, and in a very few days the Senate bro't
out the letter 10 Stevenson, in which the de-
signs were Swallowed forth, and a request that
II be kept from the people, Now see how the

Loco focos may learn from the unfortunate
position in which the Post man has placed
himself, by the i~ndulgences in natural honesty
that it is not safe to assume that President Polk

or the requirement Of public faith. What is
public faith or private distress compared to the

culture of cotton IN Tuykev.

In compliance with q request mads by the
Sultan Of Turkey to our Minister at Constau-
tinople, more than q year ago, Mr.. Buchanan,
our Secretary of State, has appointed two gem
tlemen well acquainted with the culture Of cot
ton to leave this country on first October next
for Conslantinople, and when there to instruct
Turkey-dom in the cultivation Of the plant
They are to carry with them a cotton gin,
ploughs, hoes, cotton seed Of the various kinds
cultivated in this country, agricultural books,
and every thing else necessary to commence
at once, for which the sultan is anxious, the
necessary preparations for planting next year.
--C0ncordia Int.
We have seen it stated, in the papers, that
MI. Polk vetoed q bill for the improvement Of
our wi Rivers and Harbors--that he vetoed
another bill to pay debts which had been due
for Atty years Or longer, because he wanted the
money 70 carry on the war against Mexico
that he signed a Bill taking away protection
firm our " labor, &C., because it was uncon-
stiIutional. From these facts we draw the in
ference that our Constitution was formed and
our Government established for the benefit Of
Turkey and other barbarous countries: that
inasmuch as we were the most civilized nation
on earth it was our duty, as citizens Of such q
country, to declare a crusade of benevolence
and philanthropy for the benefit of others
that charity should not begin at home, but
away of yonder. Also, that as we already
make more cotton than can be made at a remu.
nerating price, it is our duty to extend its cul.
%siyalion and production.
Some uncharitable people might think that
Polk's object is one Of deep policy that as
the cotton growers Of the South can hardly
live at the business, we will get the Turks into
il and break them, and then buy them up al
sherif's sale. Deep policy that for Polk and
Buchanan.

A portion Of our company left here a few
days since for camargo, and the balance will
leave on the FIRST boat. We learn that the Col.

purchased BY Ordero Of Gen. Taylor, arrived al

We are all more anxious than ever to 60 a.
head, because there are rumors that the Mexi-
cans are concentrating their forces and will
probably make an effort to retake some Of the
GOWNS on the Rio Grande.
