HYDRA RUBBER FLoArs. - On Saturday an
experimental trial was made at Jersey City of
India Rubber Floats invented by an officer in
the army. The contrivance is remarkably
simple consisting of two or more cylinders
made Of heavy canvass, coated with Good
yer's insoluble rubber, inflated and attached
to baggage Wagons and ordnance, for float
ting the same across rivers. In this expert
ment two small cylinders were used and at
tached to wagon weighing 1885 lbs; the
wagon was then filled with persons and
Aoated with as much buoyancy as life boat
If the water is shoal the wheels support
the wagon, and in deep water the floats sus-
tain III, is attached in few moments, and
detached by removing six pins-so that it
can be drawn across the stream with cords
and attched to other wagons, and in this way
an army with their baggage train can be
passed over d stream as rapidly as over a
bridge. For the western and southern por-f
tons Of our territory where there are no bridg-
es, this apparatus will be found invaluable,
aside from the army, and we have no doubt
will recommend itself as most valuable i'm
provement.-E Y. Courier. w

sumptioni--Let not those complain of being
bitten by reptile which they have cherished
TO maturity in their very bosoms when they
might have crushed it in the egg. Now, if we
call slight cold the egg, and pleurisy, infam-
nation Of the lungs, asthma, and consump-
ton the venomous reptile, the matter will be
more than correctly figured. There are many
ways in which this egg may be deposited and
Matched. Going suddenly, slightly clad, from
heated into a cold atmosphere, especially if
you can contrive to be in state of perspira-
ton; sitting or standing in draught, however
slight, it is the breath of death, and laden with
the vapor of the grave. Lying in damp beds
for there his cold arms shall embrace you
continuing in wet clothing, and neglecting
wet feet-these and hundred others, are some
of the ways in which you may slowly, imper-
ceptibly, but surely cherish the creature that
shall at last creep inextricably inwards, and lie
coiled about your very vitals.
A ttend to this in season-even slight cold
is no small matter. At the first attack use
Wistar's Balsam of wild Cherry, it is
sure to cure. and it is the only remedy you can
place perfect confidence in. 1t commences at

THE GLORY OF ALL LANDs.-Rev. s. M.
Pomeroy, of Bangor, Me-, writes from the
other side of the Atlantic I'M this strain -
sOne result of my observations in various coun-
tries, is the deep overwhelming conviction, that
the United States Of North America is inn
measurably the most blessed land the sun
shines upon, in all his circuit through the
heavens. You never meet an American a.
broad who does not say the same. Sins we
have, indeed, many, great and fearful. But
our privileges, how immense! The thought
which has spontaneousIy risen to my heart
thousand times, as have looked upon the
inhabitants Of these ancient lands, in their
squalid poverty, is God eien Die United State,

MEXICAN TREEs.-Some of our volunteers on
the Rio Grande complains that they shave not
seen decent sized tree in Mexico.n The trees
on the Rio Grande and St. Juan, are generally
less than one foot in diameter. Several of the
Sante Fe prisoners informed us that they scarce
ly found tree that measured more than one or
two feet in diameter on their route from Santa
Fe to Vera Cruz. If they had passed by the
ancient garden of Montezuma, near the city Of
Mexico they would have found trees that far
exceed the greatestmonarchs of the forest of the
West. There is cypress tree near that city
that is IL feet in circumference and according
TO Decandolle's method of computing the age
of trees by the concentric circle this tree is
more than 5000 years old. Humboldt con-
sidered certain Boabab tree of A frica, which
was nearly 81 feet in diameter, to be the oldest
organic monument of our planet, and Adanson
by ingenious calculations ascsrtained that it's
age was $3.50 years; but the great cypress of
Mexico is considered by naturalists to be older
than The Boabab of Humboldt. Huge skele-
tons of Mammoth and Mastodon have been
found in the marshes 2ear this cypress, and
there are strong grounds for the belief that it
existed before the races of these mighty ami
mails became extinct.--Hsuston Telegraph.

From Mexico.

An extra of La Pstria was issued yesterday
containing interesting intelligence from the
Diario de Ia Habana, of the 9th inst, and re-
ceived at Havana by the British mail steamer
Thames, which left Vera Cruz ON the LIST. The
editor of the La PatriG says he obtained the pa
per from a fellow-passenger of Commodore
SLoAr from Key West.
The most important part Of the news is, that
the first brigade of cavalry left the capital on
the 24th ult for Monterey, and Santa Anna was
to have followed the next day at the head Ct
the National Guard, which had been organized
and The other troops at the capital. The strength
of his force is not stated, but he seems to have
been actively engaged in raising and equipping
men. A meeting of the merchants and other
men of wealth residing in the capital, was held
on the 18th, to devise the means OF supplying
the government with funds to carry on the war i.
meeting for a similar purpose was held at
Vera Cruz on the 23d.
The Governor of chihuahua was in expecta-
ton of the department being invaded. and the
Departmental Assembly had authorized him to
raise S5,000by disposing of the government to-
bacco. The salaries of the officers were also
reduced one third.
Senior YANEz, the Commandant General Of
Jalisco, had marched at the head Of brigade,
to occupy and defend Topic, and San Bias, on
the Western Coast. A Mexican brig-of-war
named the Maleck Hadel, had been taken by
one of the vessels of our SO uadron in the port
of Mazatlan. She had no armament on board,
and was therefore taken without opposition.
Santa Anna left Puebla on the 18th, and ar
rived at the capitol on the l4th, and it would
appear was received with demonstrations Of
great Joy by all TIE dewus, were chanted in
the cathedral on that and the preceding day,
when he was received by the city authorities
and escorted to the National Palace.
Captain Carpenter, Of the TftIrtOn, and his
crew, were released IL is said, in expectation
that Gen. La vega would be exchanged for
them.
Aunijo's evacuation Of Santa Fe without at
tempting its defence against Gen. Kearney, is

guished for the practice of every Christian wiz

lar examples. Among our Legislators we find
MI. Hoge, member Of Congress from Illinois
in the course of debate, quoting the following
lines as coming from the Bible:
'sWhile the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.n saE
And Col. Benton in the Senate spoke of our
Saviour having cast seven devils out of GER
tain man, and of the devils taking possession
of the swine who ran violently into the sea
and persisted. Two members of State legis-
lature, at the close of the session, addressed a
circular to their constituents:-"Weh hope the
course we have pursued. and the votes we have
given, will meet your appreciation. We hope
you will say to US, as Nathan said to David,
SWELL done good and faithful servants.'"
ssMr. Speaker" said member of a legisla-
tive body,'earnestly opposing measure before
the House, "Mr. Speaker, 1 would no more
vote for that measure, than would fall down
and worship the golden calf that Abraham
made" 'sMr. Speaker" said another member,
sit was not Abraham that made the golden
calf, il was Nebuchadnezzar.'' An editor of
one Of our newspapers when giving an ordi-
nary notice of worthy man, remarked, 1--WE
may say of him, as the Holy Scriptures have
SO beautifully expressed it-"An honest man
is the noblest work Of Cod"
One of our city editors, himself a clergyman,
too, refers to Daniel as having prosecuted the
Saints before he became Christian.
The last case | shall give is taken from
waddy Thompson's RecOllections of Mexico,
