WHAT POLITICS WILL DO.

We clip the following from the National Intel
ligencer:
The ErFEcrs OF WAR.-Some idea of the
injury inflicted upon the country by declaration
OF hosiilies may be gathered from the result
upon one single branch of commerce-the whaling
business. We have now at sea between six and
seven hundred whslers. valued at about S22,-
OOO,OOO. all Of which are exposed to capture or
destruction. AT home, too, the effects Of war
upon the markets is not less deserving of notice.
From New Bedford letter of the 24th is the an
nexed extract taken:
% This war business has completely Frustrated
tho business in New Bedford ,jand no place in the
country is half so much affected by the war.
ships are hauled up; none fitting out oil worth
million of dollars. is lying on the wharves, there
being no purchasers at present rates. You stop
the whaling business here, and you stop all-all
being so connected with il. There are now sin-
ty ships hauled up here, and more expected TO
arrive.'
Why does that highly respectable journal give
place to such silly article as the above, other
than TO mako, unfair, political capitol.
The leading paper sf the opposition, in simes like
those, should not give place to a statement that
evidently bears an untruth on the face of it, if il
does make a pallry addition. TO the opposition to
tho Administration. Write gentleman editors
against our having occupied the east bank of the
Rio Grande-Against the war proclamation of
the Prssdent-Against the capture of Matamo-
ras,-and against the marching Of an American
Army into Mexico, if you will but do not, we
beg you, Brighten all the old women of the coun-
try by such bug bear" stories as the above.
We sympathse, with those poor " blue light"
New Bedford ship owners. that have the "n,il-
lion Of dolldu ,oorth Of oil lying on their
chnrpes," ,chieh they cannot get sale for, at an
advance Of twenty per cent over what they
would have been glad TO have taken. before our
wicked Americans. chastised those humane and
peace loving Mexcans.
And the sirfy ships hauled up"!!! we
would more deeply sympathiss with their ow-
ners, did we not think. that on examination, the
story would turn out like that Of" Dick Cripp's
dogs" Granny there are sixty dogs fighting
our Bear" "Oh no Richard, there cannot be SO
many" "There are twenty then" "That is
too many Richard" "Well then. there ia on,
dog and another onc.''

CAPTAIN FREMONT.

The National Intelligencer, publishes interest
ing extracts from Capt. Fremont's letter to his
family dated on the Bay of St. Francisco. They
confirm the statements made sometime since of
his having discovered new road to California.
II appears that this new route, will be the short
est, and best, for Oregon, as we'll as California.
Capt. f: traversed with party of IS voIun-
teers' the whole breadth of the supposed desert
south of Salt Lake. His line of march Law be-
tween the parallels of $50 and 800. Instead of a
sandy plain, he found the country sraversed thro'
lis whole extent by parallel ranges of lofty noun
tains covered with snow, with pleasant valleys
between them. The country is well wooded.
and abounds in deer and mountain sheep; in fine,
1t is as different as possible from what i. was
supposed. BY this new route one can travail
from Pseblo-70 miles above Brsnl's Fort on the
Arkansas--to Capt. Suffers, on the Sacramento,
in 30 days. 1t 10 good route for wagons. Can't.
Fremont wishes this discovery known, az, now
that The journey has been made, it may be said
that this 100 is already Known
A glance at good map, shows at once, the
value Of this discovery

ACTIVITY OF THE NAVY DEPART
MENT

The New York Sun, one Of the best papers
published in this, OF any other country, in copy
ing orr statement of The vessels at this Naval
Station, makes The following very judicious re-
marks -
"The vigor and efficiency of our navy should
correspond with the exigency of the times. and
we hope TO see that branch OF the service on tho
best possible footing within few weeks. Every
dispossble vessel should be aheat, and the hum
dreds Of merchant vessels reported capable of be-
ing converted into frigales should be at hand
ready for service. Ii this war should unfortunate
ly be protracied by the obslinacy of Mexico, we
must add certain number of bomb vessels and
attempt the reduction Of the castle at Vera Cruz
and even the peace establishment Of the United
States now demands an increase of our naval
force, especially Of steam vessels, which can be
used for commercial as well as protective pur-
poses. We are bound by treaty to employ
squadron on the coast Of Africa. We always
should have a representative force in the Medi
terrsnean. We require squadson for the w eat
Indies and the Gulf Of Mexico, and always an
extensive one in the Pacific and East Indies
So that when tho War and Post steamers are
completed our force will be highly respsctsbls. !"

GENEROSITY OF GEN. TAYLOR.

The New Orleans Picsyune in an article re-
lating to Gen. Vegas capture, says General Tay-
lar had every reason TO know that his country
men would extend 10 a brave man, captured at
his post, every attention which an admiration of
courage might dictate, but he knew also that the
captive OF stricken field is without the means
of relieving himself from the annoyances of PEI
cuDiary want in hostile country. He gave
Gen. La Vega letter of credit upon his mer-
chants in this city. He could not brook the
thought that General who had engaged him in
the field of chvalry should be pinched by want
among strangers, and he generously opened his
purse TO the only field officer Of the enemy who
stood to his arms as long there was soldier to
assist him.
