An able and well informed writer in The
Charleston Courier, (says The Alexandria Ga
zeue) in series OF papers addressed TO The Plan
lels of South Carolina, on The subject OF the pre-
servalion of their health and that OF their fami-
lies during The Summer and Fall months, in our
opinion conclusvely proves lha! the planting and
cultivation Of TREES is an important dcsidera,rm
in all Southern countries-and that trees are
real protection against malaria, and The ccnse-
quent diseases. Experience has shown that in
proportion as the trees are cut down from the
banks Of rivers and creeks, have The Fall levers

act this, especially in cities towns and on estates
situated near rivers, The growth OF trees should
be encouraged Its admitted on all hands, that
miasma is carried along BY a ioggy or moist al.
mosphere. We must also recollect, il is now
well ascenained that det0 does not fall and settle
on The ground in The evening and al night, as was
formerly believed, but that the wet and dripping
state Of the heritage, bushes and trees, proceeds
from quality which exists in them 10 attract

those who told the opponents OF the bill that they
were encouraging murder and assassination, IN

them in The presence of their God as being The
cause OF those crimes. Cloud applause.) They
who supported The bill were they who omer'ed

Our city has worn quite military aspect
ever since news reached it that the Mexi
can army had crossed The Rio del Norte
and attacked the army OF occupation under
The command OF Gen. Taylor. The chiyalry
Of Memphis have formed themselves into volun

they are ready 10 proceed forthwith 10 the banks
Of The Rio del Norle, and if permitted TO do SO, 10
march 10 the city of Mexico. The question here
is no, Who will go? but Who will be permitted
10 go Seven companies are ready 10 take the
field; ready did | say 2-they are burning with

her We will lay a wager that for number, sol

Memphis will not be equalled by any city in the
Union containing the same population.

were settled Sic prefers 10 adjust them al the
point OF the bayonet, and We OF the South and
West are willing 10 crafty her irhinis and let steel

All We ask is, permission 10 carry on vieor-
Gus offensive war. II Congress will formally de-
clare war against Mexico, and order an invasion
OF her territory, my word for it, The West and
South will pour into the very heart Of Mexico
