Better cure ncy.

The Treasury of the United States has
issued any quantity of Tar Warrants,in
the shape of 100 dollar bills, which have
already made their appearance in Wall
street. N. Y. 1t is averred that paymas.
,ers in the Army are supplied with this
species Of currency. Mr. Benton declares
the issuing of such bills unconstitutional.
1t seems that the old Continental currency
is revived. What precious hypocritical
set Of fellows these bank hating loco foco
leaders must be. What principle have
they yet adopted in theory but what they
have not afterwards repudiaed in practice.
We advise all honest persons to come on,
from such vile party. if there are such
who are still numbered with it. These
War Warrants are an entire new species
of currency, They do not pu-port even
to be Treasury Notes or7reesury drafts.
such as nigh. have been expected under
the Sub Treasury law, but they are U'ar
Warrants! We shouldn't wonder if the
sycOphan,ic toadys about Mr. Polk should
offer to put golden crown upon his head
at the next session Of Congress They
might as well. for he has more power
now, than any King in Europe.

In the course of the debate in the Sen
ate on the Tariff, Mr. Niles of Connection,
leading Polk man. took occasion to give
Sir Robert Walker severe thrust, as
follows:
HE said he had no confidence in the
financial statements of the Secretary of
the Treasury. He had no faith in them
and based no calculation upon them what
ever. The financial affairs Of The Govern
ment were in sad and deplorable condi-
ton. In my conscience | believe this. 4"

Arrival of the Caledonia.
The Steamship Caledonia arrived in
Boston on the 18th ult., bringing Liver
pool dates TO the 4th nit; being ten days
later than before received. The news is
of little importance. The Liverpool pa
pers are filled with glowing accounts of
Prince ALBERT's visit to that city. and
the three gala days occasioned by his
laying the corner stone Of the new dry
dock, with gold and jeweled trowel.
The price of Cotton was firm and the
article was in good demand.
The crops were abundant so that they
will hardly need much of our surplus.
The Ministerial project about The Sugar
duties was carried in the House Of Com

Peel voting with the majority. This
will place Sugar in the same category
with Corn, free 10 certain extent. II is
thought this movement will affect the

Louis Philippe had been again shot at,
during the celebration Of the ",hree glori-

Of the Tuileries. The balls, as usual,
when fired al him, had no effect. Joseph
IIenrie, the woud.be king killer, was
arres ted. and had no other plea than a
wish to obtain notorieiy and get rid OF
life, which he said he was tired Of.
Louis Napoleon, died recently at Leg
horn. 1t will be recollec,ed tina, his son
recently escaped from the Castle Of Ham,
but before he could reach Leghorn his
father died. Louis was brother to Napo-
leon. Only one brother now survives,
tha! is Joseph, Count de Snrveilers.
Some Oregon Wool had been received
in England and was spoken of as being Of

Baboo Dwar Kanauth Tagore, the
famous Brahmin who has been so lavish
with his immense Asiatic treasures, died
in London recently. He rurposed before
his death to visit this country.
The great amount of 900 barrels Of
American Flour is chronirled as having
arrived at Nottingham from Liverpool -
Such proportion would make very little
impression on our surplus. More than
5000 barrels have been shipped from our
town alone during the past season.

ma returned.

We feel much obliged to Mr. Cool
BAUGH who with Messrs GEO. PARTRIDGE
and ID. M. EWING. returned from the east
on Monday last. Mr. &. brought US the
news about the Mexican Revolution and
the probable return Of Santa Anna.
The papers declare that Santa Anna
would probably reach Vera Cruz by the
18th ult. That city has declared in his
favor and a Revolution was in progress
which would again place him at the head
Of affairs. In the meantime Paroles had
just previously been making great prepa-
rations to prosecute the war against our
troops. He had sent several batalions
forward, and what effect the return Of
Santa Anna will have on this movement
is unknown. Some think that Santa
Anna, instead Of disgracing Paroles. may
if he is as hostile against the United
States as is represented. endeavor TO con
ciiate so as to unite the whole of Mexico
agains, us and give orr army considera-
Bile to do. 1t may be, however, that a
peace may have been effected before the
arrival of Santa Anna, as incipent meas
ures had been entered into by both gov
ernments to accomplish that object. All
is at present speculation. The next
authentic news will be very important
ard we look forward to i,s announcement
with considerable anxiety.

Can Appropriate Lands.

The Law which we publish in another
column, giving alternate sections of land
to enable the people of the Des MONIES
Valley 10 make slack water navigation in
their beautiful river, must be very beneh-
cial to The Southern part of Iowa, al.
though great portion of the land donated
has been taken up by settlers. How SIM
gular i. is tha. government can consliu-
tonally and without any scruple give
lands to carry on an improvement which
is not strictly national in its character and
vet will refuse on constitutional grounds
to appropriate the same lands when once
turned into money for clearing out the
Rapids in the Mississippi, which is &C.
knowledged by Mr. Calhoun himself, to
be emphatically national in its uses and
object. We of course rejoice that the
donation as set forth in the law has been
made. bu. we should think it would look
a little more consistent if the President
would allow Congress to make appropr
atoms towards improving our great ..in-
land sea-" without the intervention of his
Kingly Veto. Such hairsplittng-such
making distinctions when there 10 no vir.
tual difference. shows desire on the part
Of President Polk to be wise above what
is written.
The Rapids in the Mississippi, which
might be removed at less cos. than VIVA,
has now to be paid every single day to
carry on an ignoble war, are the great OBJ
stacles in the way of the improvement, of
Iowa. The tax on our farmers, and the
loss they sustain by no, being able to
compete with farmers below the Rapids,
is enormous. Setting aside the loss sus.
!ained by all other classes, we have no
doubt lie farmers in Iowa, alone, lose in
the aggregate moro than one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars every year by the
existence Of these obstacles. And vel
President Polk ve,oes bill which is de.
signed TO remove the difficulty. Will the
