Military AGairs.-From the report
of Mr.. Block, chairman of the commit
zee on military affairs, we make the
following extract, is as exhibiting the
measure likely to be adopted by the
general government.
'.The whole militia are divided INTO
two classes; the one called the peace
establishment, and the other the war
establishment. For the peace esta-
blishment, all liable to duty between
the ages of 2 and 90 are enrolled !;
While for the war establishment, all be
tween the ages Of 10 and As are en-
-roiled. In time of peace, only those of
the first enrolment are liable to duty
--exempting those under 81 and those
over 30, and ministers Of the gospel,
and thus making military service fall
on only very small portion of the
community, but yet making every man
pass through period Of liability.
The bill further provides that all the
first class when droughted into the SER
vice Of The U. States in times Of war,
may be required 10 serve twelve months
--and one year in every period of
three years, if necessary. But their
pay is increased by liberal allowance
of forty dollars per apnum in lieu Of
clothing, while substitution in all cases
whatever, is now IegaIized for the first
time This will enable companies or
corps by ajnint fund, to hire substitutes,
ore, stand he 1raught; and each who
NAV be draughted can either serve
himself or hire substitute. The re
suit, most probably, should this bill be-
come n law, will be, that such as choose
to bear a part in the active defence of
the country will receive liberal contri-
button from such as remain at home in
the ease and comfort Of their iresides.
To the second class, including those
between the ages of thirty and forty
five years, the bill allows the privil-
ege, on general enrolment in time of
threatened danger, to enroll themselves
in a separate and distinct corps, and
| thus become liable 10 furnish recruits
for the regular army in the proportion
of one Of ten Of their number. This
position they assume voluntarily, and
without coercion Of any kind. Should
they refuse or neglect thus TO enrol
themselves, they are placed by the law.
in the first class, and are only liable to
such duty as is required in common from
all their fellow citizens"

AN IDEA-True and Beautiful

TO float moment upon its waves and
sink in to nothingness! Else why is
1t that the glorious aspiration which
leap like angels.from the dem ple-of our
hearts, are forever wandering about
unsatisfed? Why is it that the rain
bow and the cloud come over us with
a beauty that is not ofearih, then ,pass
off and leafe US 10 muse upon their
faded loneliness?
Why is 1t that the Stars who hold fes-
tival around .thc midnight throne are
set above the grasp Of our limited fac
ulties, forever knocking Us with their
glory? And fl ally, why
is it that the bright forms of human
beauty ARG presented to our view, and
then, taken from Us, leaving the thou
sand streams of our affections ito flow
back ia Alpine. torrents upon. our

We are born fora higher destiny than

FROM THF WAR QUARTER.

DISPATCHES BY THE PRINCEroN.-The Southern
Mail is in, bringing New Orleans papers to the 23d.
The Princeton arrived at Pensacola the Goth, five
days from Vera Cruz. A few days before the depar-
ture of the Princeton, she, with the Cumberland and
Potomac, proceeded twelve miles up the coast from
Vera Cruz, to take in supplies. While there the en-
envy concentrated force of 800 men, who fired on
our boats, and wounded one man. The Princeton,
lying close by opened her fire upon the chapporal u
concealed breast-works, and silenced the bat
teries.
The Mexican account of the affair is that they bad
three men killed and several wounded and that we
lost one officer and some men. Our account is that
the Mexicans had eight or nine men wounded, and
killed, and on our side only one man wounded.
Arista had issued a proclamation to the troops OF
the division, declaring that his and their honor was
affected by the disastrous action of the 9th May, and
states that he had demanded an investigation, which
the government had granted.
Gen. Paroles had not left Mexico for the army OF
the North.
The proposed move msnt OF Gen. Taylor upon Mon
terey was well known in all parts of Mexico. The
people of Monterey were getting very much alarm
ed. The Army formerly under Arista, was at Lee

Tuesday July rs.
The Committee on Finance reported back the bill
to reduce the Tariff without amendment, and asked
to be discharged from the instructions as voted yes
terday. Mr.. Evans a member of that committee,
did not assent, and hoped the committee would give
some reasons for making such request. Mr. Lewis
replied that one reason the want of time to make
new bill, and that instructions were so unlntelllgl-
Bile that the committee could not agree as to their
meaning and the mover of the instructions had avow-
ed that his purpose was to defeat the bill, & If 1t was
to be killed let the Senate kill it, aud not impose the
burthen of Its execution upon the Committee.
Messrs. Johnson, Speight and Benton, gave their
views, Jarnagn defined his position. 1t was evident
that no amendments could be effected, and he should
obey his instructions His intention was however,
to refrain from voting the engrossment OF the bill,
and to leave the descison of the responsibility with
the Vice President of the United States. The bill
was farther debated by ]. nj. Clayton, Webster, Nc
Duffie and Simmons, when the motion was agreed to,
ayes %, noes 81.
Mr.. Webster renewed his motions of Yesterday to
to strike out the 9th Section, ayes %, noes 26 30
Mr.. Webster's proposition was agreed to.
Mr.. Jarnegan did not vote. The vote on engross-
ing the bill was then taken, it stood 81 to 81 Mr.
Jarnegan still absent The Vice President then
read his reasons for the vote he was about to give
The responsibility was great, and felt it deeply but
whatever might be the consequences,
ity must be met and he felt sure that majority OF
the people were for changing the present tariff He
then gave the casting vote in favor Of the bill.
So the bill goes to the House with an amendment,

THB War WITH MExIco.-A New Orleans corr
respondent of the Commercial advertiser, writing
under date of July 18th says 81 have seen private
letter from Vera Cruz which says that the war with
the United States is universally POPULAR and so alb
serbs the public mind as to swallow up all revolu-
iionary outbreaks and internal discussions. In evil
dence of this says thata single district name for
gotten]proposes to furnish equip, and supply, 10000
men for the Mexican Army. Of course California is
not taken into account by the writer that Province
having already declared its independence.
There is a few among who rejoice at the Irorpect
of long continuance of hostilities-men who are
reaping golden harvest out of Uncle Sans field
but it is source ofdeep regret to the who have
to pay the cost" that difficulties with our weak
but vainglorious neighbor cannot be more speedily
Terminated.

THE WHEAT TRADE OF THE BALTIC.


THE WHEAT TRADE OF THE BALTIC.
Under this head the Free Press of the 9th ult has
leading editorial, which, silly 1t is In ITSELF the
station occupied by that paper in its party, forbds
should pass unnoticed. That print is paid for the
wear and tear of conscience well as machinery and
must of course be expected to tell every now and
then large story: but then, we should think policy
would dictate the necessity of keeping up the appear
ance of truth
In the article question: the Press begins by Civ
ing tabular view of the price of Wheat in Dantzic,
Trieste and Odessa, sometime in January and De-
cember last. This, by its reduction of English
to Federal money and of quarters to bushels the
Press makes out to be good round price, from 20 TO
@l.l. Making barrel of -four ground from this
wheat actually worth nEngand,from $3.50 to SS,4o'
Now let us see saws the Press adopting the language
of the Philadelphia Ledger :" whether we can send
-four to England and compete with wheat manufac-
turers there out of wheat the abovenamed prices
Il then poes on to show we thus, "By the W u.
commerciiu Times of March llh" (not of Decem-
Der or January but of March the llh) 'ohlo Hour
was sold in New Orleans at $3.50 per barrel" and
adding freight would raise it to 1854 in England or
nj as less per barrel than -four made FROM Dantzlc
wheat. for 1896 less than -four made from Trieste
wheat: for 1881 less than -four made from odessa
wheat" That is, ia few words, American hour IN
March could be sold at dead loss TO the wheat grow
sr and then it wouid bring so much Tess than Dant-
zic, Trieste and Odessa wheat would command IN
December and January. Why not either compare
the Baltic prices of March the American prices of
December or January. Because this would not serve
the purpose of Misrepresentation and falsehood.
But again. does the Press suppose that farmers Of
this or any other region afford to raise -four for
the English market at 1854! Let us make acalcu-
iaton on this The of transportation from this
place to New York is, near as may be Sls7 cents

which has reached that city, but not in sufficiently
authentic shape to command much credence, that

about 500 in number if we recoect aright,-had an

in total defeat of the former, with heavy loss
Among the reported killed, are Capts. Moore, Burg

number of American soldiers. The information
which the report purports to include, is very vague,
besides being improbable. The st. Louis papers
give the report very little credit.
