Potatoes.

The London correspondent of the BOs-
ton Traveller says it is an ascertained fact
that, not only are the crops short, but the
potatoes that have been saved for winter
consumption, are nearly all rotten, and
decomposition is constantly going on
The Board of Trade has been collecting
information respecting the actual present
amount of the potato crop, and the week
ly supply of potatoes in London. 1t is
supposed that this inquiry is made that
Government may justify itself before
Parliament, in proposing the abolition OF
the Corn Laws. Growers Of potatoes
are anxious to get rid Of them immediate
ly, as they rot so rapidly, and hence the
cause of full supply in the large mar
kets. The railways bring immense guam
titles to the London markets, and the pro-
vinces are being drained. As they are
sold at low price, some persons are led
to believe that the supply will continue;
but the best judges predict that before the
end of this month there will be few or no
potatoes in the thickly populated coun-
ties of England or Ireland. Farmers
who have large crops, either hurry them
to market or give them literally to cattle
and pigs, in order to get rid of them be-
fore disease destroys them. He adds
SIN the most respectable dining-room at
the West-End Of London, IN which |
have been dining the last two months, |
have rarely had potato that was not
slightly marked with black spots, and
these spots indicate the disease. If such
potatoes were left another month they
would not be fit for human food. Little
is said about this disease at this time by
the press; but that potatoes viii command
a most exorbitant price in month or so,
| am certain, and as for SEED potatoes for
spring planting, there will be none. A
letter from Ireland says: Another month,
and the evil will not only be irremediable,
but the horrors of pestilence, and the
irrepressible manifestations of agrarian
discomfort, will prove how deeply seated
is the disease, and how desperate will
have become the dispositions of wret-
ched and afflicted population "-Bickn.

John C. Calhoun.

Mr.. Calhoun has been ihirty-five
years in the National Councils. His
whole career has been but succession of
excentricities, in the progress of which
he has stumbled over and stultifed all the
principles and measures which he ever
avowed or advocated. He was, in 1917,
advocate, if not the Father, Of Protect
i've Tariff; to destroy which, in 1923, he
deliberately urged dissolution of the
Union. He was, in 1916, the most
prominent advocate of the Bank of the
United States; to destroy which, he sub
seqently aided others to convulse and
PROSTATE the Republic.
When Tylerism was in its dog-star de-
Elirium, he was called to the Office of Sec
rctary of State. Even the North and
East hailed this appointment with joy.
But he used his place TO. rush Texas,
with its Debt and Slavery, into the u
Mon. Discarded by President Polk, to
whose election he contributed largely, he
appeared in the Memphis Convention
the advocate of that system of National
Internal Improvement which he had SO
often and so vehemently denounced as
unconstitutional
When as consequence resulting from
the seduction of Texas, England pressed
us into corner about Oregon, Mr.. Cal
houn offered to return to the Senate as an
advocate for peace, he called upon the
North and the East TO stand by him.
Yes, the men, but for whose iniquitous
proceeding with Texas, Peace would not
have been menaced, appeal to the North
and East to hold them back-to restrain
them from doing what they stand vaunt-
ingIy pledged to perform. And the
maenanimous, or the credulous, among
us, failing to see that the only way that
Peace: without an aba ndonment of es-
sential rights and interests, can be preser-
we'd, instead of casting all the res ponsi-
bilities of the question upon Southern
administrator, are nibbling at Mr.. CAL
houn's skilfully baited hook! That hook
| will soon be felt in their gills, and then
we shall see them floundering in vain -
For the sake of Peace which, had all
New England backed JoHN Quincy AD-
ANS, would not have been endangered,
A PROTECTIVE TARIFF WILL NOT BE SAC
RIFIcRD. Another triumph. therefore,
awaits Slavery and Free Trade, and like
all their former triumphs, achieved by
the aid of those who "pay for heatining
the poker Alb. Jour.

The Mischief Already Done.

FROM THE UNITED sTAEs GAZETTE, JAN27.
WHAT HAS CONGRESS done! Those
who answer that question, connecting
the Presidents Message with the move
ments in Congress, will show up an a
mount Of evil that would appal man
who looked only to the good of the coun-
try as motive of action. The language
of the Executive, and the movements iii
his favor in Washington, has inflicted a
blow upon the foreign commerce OF this
country that must be sensibly felt by
every man who has the least conneXion
with that portion of the means of national
prosperity. Hundreds of voyages, that
included some considerable time for COM
pletion, have been postponed in appre-
hension of war between Great Britain
and this country. We might easily refer
TO several within our own knowledge,
where Philadelphia capital was TO aid
Philadelphia enterprise, and the business
of our good city receive a valuable addi-
ton, which in consequence of the most
untmely message of the President, and
the most unreasonable course OF some OF
those men in Congress who can lose
nothing, and may gain much by any con-
yulsion, have been entirely laid aside. the
risk of long voyage, under existing cir
cumstances, being too great Tor any pro-
posed profits.
Another result of this state Of things is
the use Of foreign vessels, instead OF the
shipping of the United States, and the
modification of seeing an American cargo
coming into port vnder an Austrian or
Spanish flag. There is no end to the
mischief resulting to business commu-
nity from ssthe rumors of war that have
disturbed the plans Of our citlzens-ru-
mors having their origin in Language and
action at the seat of Government as un-
necessary and unsanctioned by any real
difficulties as any false rumor and un-
sactioned language could be.
When will Congress learn TO know
that manufacturing party capital from
important international questions is a
most dangerous, we had almost said, trea-
sonabIe use of power and position! Let
members of Congress calmly institute an
inquiry into the amount OF mischief to
the business of the country which has
resulted from the unnecessary proceed
ings and language on the Oregon ques-
ton, and they will find that months OF
sober devotion to the true interests of the
country, or an abstinence from all inter-
ference, will be necessary to restore busi-
ness to its proper channel. Nothing can
compensate for the injury done.

A BPeHk-ED.

The Missouri STATESMAN gives the
following account of singular phenome-
non which occurred on the night of the
9th ultimo in the lake opposite Roche
port:
ga tremendous crash was heard about
A o'clock in the morning, and several per-
sons visited the lake at daylight. From
the appearance of the ice it was evident
that it had been up-heaved with great
violence by the agency of some subterra-
mean power. Large pieces of ice stood
on end on every side of the spot at which
the great deep had been broken up; and
in some places large heaps of the frozen
element had been made from six to
twelve feet high. Upon the surface Of
the unbroken ice, around the spot where
the breach was made, lay numbers Of fish;
some of large size; also quantities Of mud
most evidently dislodged from the bottom
Of the lake. The water in the lake is
about len feet Deep

MIA. and was likely TO pass that House.
And what would be the effect of ter
minous on the Ohio river, below the dlfil-
culdes OF the navigation!
Mr.. ID. here read a statement shewlng
from the amount of tonnage, and the ra1es
of duty on the Ohio river at different sea-
sons. that almost its entire trade would
be distracted from our public improve
ments and conveyed to Baltimore. You
would nor, said he, receive a pound OF
freight, or single passenger 10 be trans
ported on the Main Line Of your public
works. But let the road terminate at
Pittsburg and we have nothing 10 fear.
We had failed 10 secure the trade Of the
Ohio for our canals, because there was
no competition. Fourteen liiteenths of
the western trade found other channels of
communication, and passed by the way
of the lakes to New \ York. Mr.. ID. ably
and eloquently coniended that compet-
ton would be advantageous TO our public
works, and that the only way to make
: Philadelphia the receptacle of the vast
trade of the West, was to make her mar
ket attractive bv the influence of compe-
! tition. lie was proud of Philadelphia,
as the commercial metropolis of the State,
and he had always stood by her and sus-
tanned her interests. But he could not
but reprobate the selfshness of her course,
pursued unremittingly i'll regard to this
measure. Ii was the interest Of PENN
sYLvANIA that this bill would secure the
greatest good and avert the greatest evil
that could TALL TO her lot. Pittsburg had
been visited bv one of the most dlastrous
connagraions that had ever occurred in
the United States; but when he returned
! from the Legislature last Session, he
found that the failure of this bill had oc-
casioned vastly more regret, than all the
loss occasioned by that calamity. 1t was
| disaster worse than fire. But he could
tell the gentlemen that if they visited
Pittsburg now, they would not find the
city in ruins, as it then was, but they
would see magnificent buildings erected
by the indomilabIe energy of her citi-
zens, in the place Of the smoulderlng
rubbish and fallen tenements which he
| then saw. And twas fact almost with
out parallel, that all the extent of that
loss had not occasoned single failure.
And now he would call upon the Legis-
Iature to sustain the interests Of that city
TO prevent the ruin of her trade, and to
protect her from an evil ten times greater
than all the disasters she had ever suf-
lered.
Mr.. ID. was followed by Messrs. Big
Ter and Crabb, after which the Senate adj
iourned.

From Brazil.

By an arrival at Baltimore on Saturday
intelligence has been received of a tre-
mendous engagement between the Anglo
allied forces at the River Plate and some
of Rosas's batteries at the mouth Of the
River Parana. On the part of the Eng
lish and French the victory was complete;
not, however, without serious losses as
regards life and property in the way Of
shipping. A letter says:
"Phe English brig of war Dolphin a
lone received one hundred and seven
round shot in her hull and rigging during
the engagement, the French steamer Full
ton one hundred and four shot, and a
French vessel, or at least a vessel manned
by Frenchmen, but formerly belonging 10
the Buenos Ayreans, was completely rid
died. The total loss of the allies amounts
to about one hundred and fifty killed and
wounded, while ON the part of the enemy
no correct statement has yet been made
public. Report says that upwards of

it is that in one fort no less thaa two hun
dred and fifty bodies were found, and in
another some one hundred and fifty or
one hundred and sixty, and, what is still
more strange, they were all blacks. To
account for this, it is said that as fast as a
white man fell, killed or wounded, he was
Immediately carried off, while the poor
blacks were kept at it, and lay where they
fell.
"Once or twice these miserable wret-
ches attempted to flee from the forts; but
no sooner did they attempt it than Rosas's
cavalry charged on them, and compelled
them to return to their guns at the point
of the lance. Rosa seemed to have anti
cipated the flight Of his men, and placed
these cavalry there on purpose to keep
them in check; for, on the landing of
some four hundred and fifty men from
the vessels of war, they met with but
very little opposition"
