A Compliment and a Remimi-
 sccnce.

The National lntelhgercer, speaking ol the news by the Cambria, says:
 The most curious item of intelligence by this arrival is Inc unprecedented com pliment paid by the House of Lords 10 Mir. Secretary Walkers Annus Treasury Re- port, recommending the repeal of our pro tectiye tariff, which was ordered by their Dordships to be printed for the use of the House. It is, indeed, not improbable that Inc free trade propositions of our Secreta- lry accelerated, if they did not prompt, the kindred measure in England of total re- peal ot the corn laws"
 Upon this the N. Y. Evening Post re- marks, with rer,iniscence at this time pc. cullarly interesting. of very early s,age of the Oregon question:
 "The Intelligencer is not accurate in speaking oi the compliment paid to Mr. Walkers report as unprecedented. It is ihe practice of the English government to direct the printing of such documents from abroad i, as are of great public interest. Inc report concerning the Oregon terri.o. ry, made by MT Francis Blyies, of Mass. achuse''s' to the House of Representatives.. twenty years ago--a report which gave us our frsl impressions of the value of that territory and the strength of the American l'le to 't--was reprinted in England for the use oi the British government. So earlv was that government awake to the impor. lance oi That territory. and with such vioi. lance did she watch the proceedings of this country in regard 10 it.

We are glad to learn that the citizens of Tuscaloosa county are moving on the sub ject of manufactures. The last Monitor states that stocks 10 the amount of $40,000 has already been subscribed, and that two gentlemen have agreed to erect all the necessary buildings, and take their pay in stock, which will increase the amount to $60,O00.
 We look upon this movement in Tosca- loosa as the most important event that has lalely transpiredin in our State. and shall mark it's progress with no smal interest. We think we see in it the germ of degree of prosperity such as neither Alabama, norsany State South, has hitherto witnessed. We have had line upon line and precept upon orecept on the advantages of manufacturing, till the propriely, if not necessity, of the step is generally admitted. All that is now wanting is practical illustration of the truth established by argument. This we think Tuscaloosa will shortly afford. She has fine water privileges, extensive beds of coal, rich mines of iron ore, and, better still, men of capital and enterprlse-all the re- quisites, in fine, for becoming great man. ufacturing town.- Pickens Republican. {

TIE CoTToN pLANT.-TEe New York Farmer, Tn an article upon the CD,ton Plant. says:
 Perhaps no physical event illustrates more remarkably and clearly the supeintendence of Providence, than the Cotton Plant. Al this moment it has an imporlatl influence In preserving peace between tn. two great. est maritime powers, and perh.ps between the whole civilized world. Tho interests of all classes in Great Britain are directly or indirectly dependent on the uninterrupted supply of cotton from the United States. A very large portion of the most influential of the Southern States would be reduced to bankruptcy by the suspension, for a few years, of the demand for cotton from Great brlta'n. The value of properly, throughout 'he co'ton.growlng States, would be greatly depreclatcd by rupture between this and the mother country. The statesmen of Great Britain and those States foresee these and Consequent evils, and h,nce much of that "nwllngness in the Southern States to provoke useless and bloody Should ruPture take place, it would stimulate the grow.h of cotton in the Eat Indies and |" oouth America, resulting probably in Permanent Injury to our Southern sec- ton
 When we consider tlie apparently acci. dental circumstance that led 10 the culture of cotton in this country, and the immense and varied interests that have grown out of it-interesls that affect the moral, reli. gious, social, political and physical position of the whole world-we see chain of events that can owe its existence to no other than the Creator himself.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, Jan 3. lS46.
 Mr. Richard Furman, an Aumnus of this Uni versy, and the principal of an elementary and classical school in this vicinity. having requested of the Faculty of the University, expression of their opinion in regard to his qualifications as teach> CT, the Faculty have no hesitation in saying, that they regard him at once able and faithful, and as abundany deserving the patronage of an intelligent public.
 Mr. Furman has been for six years engaged in his present employment; and during ,his time, he has sent number of students to this institution, who if not always perfectly prepared for admission, have, nevertheless, in no case, brought from him any testimonials which their atiainments would not justly.f Il is characteristic of him to state, with the utmost frapkness to all whom il may concern, what he believes to be the progress made by the Iupils under his charge.
 As an able. honest. and faithful teacher, the Fac ulty of this University therefore, very willingly say that they know no one more deserving than Mr. Furman of the confidence of the public.

AMUSING INCIDENT. A correspondent OF the
ST. Louis New Era, writing from the camp of
the ST. Louis Legion, opposite New Orleans,
relates the following incident:
Many an amusing scene has occurred in camp
amongst the recruits as well as the "drlled."
Last night one of our best drilled officers, with
out thinking, especially of the 'orders of the
day." was walking very quietly over the rear
line of the encampment, when he was chal-
lenged very promptly, "Who comes dare2"-
Thinking the sentinel very abrupt, the officer
exclaimed "Thltnder and Mars" when the SEN
tinel, honestly supposing the officer had given
his own, name replied, "Advance! Dunder and
Mars, and give de countersign." The officer
sloped.

BY LAST NIGHTS SOUTHERN MAIL.

One Day Later from The .4rmy. The steam
ship New York arrived at New Orleans on
the 18th inst, from Brazos st. Jago, with ad-
vices to the 9th, one day later than by the
Galveston. She brings no news of moment,
however. The Tropc says that letter re-
ceived states that Gen. Arista had taken up his
headquarters at Monterey, with 1000 troops,
where he was awaiting the approach of Gen.
Taylor. We doubt this. We copy the fol-
lowing items from the Commercial Times:
News is anxiously expected from Col. Will
sons expedition to Reinosa, as it is stated that
Canales and all his force consisting of from
twelve to eighteen hundred cavalry, are con-
centrating there, and will no doubt show fight.
Col. Wilson's command amount to about eight
hundred. He has with him Desha's Mobile
Volunteers aud Prices Texas Rangers.
The news of Gen. Taylor's promotion to the
grade of Brevet Maior-G General, has difused
JOY through all ranks in the army and in the
State Of Texas.
The delegation from the Louisiana Legisa-
ture was to leave Point Isabel on the It'll in
slant, on their way to Matamoras, to present
the thanks of that body to old "Rough and
Ready"
There WINS a little sickness amongst our vol
unteers, Diarrhea, arising from the change of
food, and condition of lite. They will soon
get Injured
A letter from Point Isabel, in the Savannah
Republican, says:
"lt affords me the greatest pleasure to inform
you that Col. Mcintosh still continues to inn
prove slowly, although he is yet on his back. -
His wounds are generally healing, and he is a
BILE to sit up little during the day. He is very
much debilitated, but think his strength is re-
turning. The wound in his arm is doing re-
markable well, and will, in the course of a few
days, heal up altogether-that in the neck has,
in a great measure, ceased to discharge from
the mouth, but still continues open on the sur
face. The Doctor thinks it will close soon, at
least we all hope so.
