AUSTRALIAN EXPLORING ExPEDlTroN.--
The exploration of Australia, the interior
OF which is now quite unknown, is pro.
crossing at present under Captain Street,
whose explorations in the south east part
of Australia have contributed not liuleto
our geographical knowledge of that dis
tlnt continent. Having a length of 2400
miles and breadth of 1871 miles, Aus.
traia presents, as yet q vast field for dis.
coveries. Even the whole coast is not
thoroughly explored. Being about one.
sixth of the size of all America, il pre-.
sents the most singular anomaly of having
no navigabe streams by which lis interior
can be penetrated. All explorations must
be made by land, and such is the extreme
desolation, aridity, and high temperature
of climate, that all efforts Of travellers to
penetrate far have as yet been ballled.
Capt Street found the thermometer FIRE.
quently standing for hours in the sun at
lao degrees; in the shade at 1873; and at
80 beneath the ground. During four
months of the period occupied in one OK.
pedltlon, the party were compelled to ro-
main in the vicinity of water hole, from
which it would have been periIlous in tho
extreme to have made either forward or
a retrogade movement. The extreme
scarcity Of water seems 10 be the great
obstacle. The natives thus far are found
TO be inofiensivo. The interior Of Austria.
liza is a perfect terra incognita, from which
the veil il vet Ia he Efted Cnnt Street
has now been ou, one year. The second
in command, Mr.. Poole, has persisted in
the expedition. The dispatches of Capt.
Street, lately received from him, are said
TO be very voluminous. lie is not expect
ed TO return for several months, when
some extraordinary disclosures, regarding
this mysterious land, may be made.

A BoMB.PRooF Town. have some-

march into small town and take II. |
think il was in Tyro; but wherever it was,
il CHANGED that the place was settled by
colony who believed in the gospel Of Christ,
and proved their faith by works. A cou-
rier from the neighboring village informed
them that the troops were advancing to
take the town. They quietly answered,
''if they iciH take il they mustp Sol
diers soon came riding in with coIors and
piping their shriIl defiance. They look
ed around for mn enemy, and saw the far
mer at his plough, the blacksmith al his
anvil, and the women al their churns and
spinning wheels. Babies crowded to hear
the music, and boys ran out to sec tho
pretty trainers, with feathers and bright
buttons, ",he harleqnins Of the 10Th CEN
tury.' OF course none Of these were ia
proper position TO be shot at. "Where
arc your sodiers?" they asked. "Wo
have none,' was the brief reply. "But
we have come 10 take the town." swell
friends il lies before you" But there is
nobody to fghta' "No we arc all Chris.
tians."
Here was an emergency altogether I'M
provided for; sort OF resistance which no
bullet could hit; a fortress perfectly bomb
proof. The commander was perpIexed.
off there is no body TO fight with of course
we cannot fight" said he. "Ilis impossi-
bic TO take such town as this" SO he Or
dered the horses heads TO be turned about,
and they carried the human animals out of
the village as gultless as they entered, and
perchance somewhat wiser.

SHORT ACQUAINTANCE. "A late ball
in this city, a gentleman having danced
with young lady whose attractions, both
personal and conversational, seemed TO
have made an impression on his sensibiIi-
ties, asked, on leading her to seat, If he
might have the pleasure of seeing her on
the following day.
"Why. no sir" replied the fair one, II
shall be engaged tomorrow evening, bu,
III tell you when you can see me-"
a shall be most happy" exclaimed the
stricken swain.
"Well, on Saturday night" resumed the
lady, "you can see me at the foot Of Marsh
Market selling cabbages."
If the young man is wise, he'll be there
tonight certain, for that girl will make
him good wife.

NATIONAL DEFENCEs. When the spe-
cial message Of the President, declaring
that in his judgment the situation Of our
affairs required an increase of the army
and navy, was announced in the House,
that body was in committee Of the whole
on billio raise two regiments of rife
men, The venerable ex-President Adams
arose, greeted by loud demonstrations Of
applause, and remarked that he would not
only vote for the two regiments, but for all
The increase either in the army or navy
that might be deemed necessary to sustain
the rights and honor Of the country.
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-04-22

"The President talks of negotiation,
ard " trusts" that the difficulty may be
settled peaceably. In the name Of God,
why not then frankly and mantully attempt
a settlement before we waste millions on
warllke preparations which may never be
needed?'' National InielLigencer.
Because, in the name of Justice and
peace, we have already made offers
enough to satisfy the president and all can
did men, that Great Britain is not ready 10
accede TO terms, unless presented at the
lannon's mouth. Again and again we
have offered, in peace and sincerity, terms
that are fair aud more than fair, receiving
in retarn only contempiuous rejection OF
our offers. Are we again like " spaniel
whip," crouching TO beg of her Haughl-
ness, TO receive our many times rejected
proposal in the name Of God ~ Is the
responsibility Of maintaining peace 10 de.
yolve on US alone, that we should forget
national dignity and honor, and shape our
course to suit the grasping, right. denying
policy Of England? [Appeal.

MExICo.-In an interesting article IN
DeBow's Commercial Repie1U, Mr.. Poin-
sett estimates the population at 5000, 1000.
The regular army at 10000. The mill
tia at 100000, of which 100000 are
horsemen, unsurpassed in horsemanshIP
and in the use of the spear and lasso. Mr..
Poinsett has higher opinion of the Mexl-
can soldiers than would seem to prevail
generally in the United States. They do
not excel in fire arms, bat practice may
remedy that defect. The city of Mexico
may be approached by wagon roads in
various directions. Mr.. Poinsett states
that he saw American Wagons that had
been driven 70 Santa Fe, thence by Chi
huahua to the capital, thence to Vera Cruz
He thinks it would be difficult to subslst
an American army in Mexico.
Our corn and pork eating race wouc
soon consume the limited supplies produ'
ced annually for the abstemious MexIcans
who live chiefly on pepper, beans, an(
thin corn cakes. Forage, too, is very
scarce. From October until May, contlnu
Gus drought prevails; vegetation dries vi
and disappears. There is no pasturage
and herdsmen are sometimes obliged Il
collect the leaves of the Cactus, roas
them to burn off the prckles, and subsls
their stock until the rainy season begins
