IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

1t appears from the latest news from Mexico
that Mr.. Slidell the American Minister: left there
on the 18th of January to return to the U. States
The New Orleans Bee of a very late date says;
"The Hon. Mr.. SlidelI left the City Of Mexico
to return to the United States the 18th OF Janu-
ary The passport for which he applied, was re-
fused him by the Government, but he was furnish
ed with an escort to Vera Cruz. The passport was
refused upon the ground that he was not special
minister of the United States for the settlement
of the affairs Of I'eras-his appellatlon being that
of Minister Ptenipotentidry, which was in vlo-
lation Of the agreement made with Herera's Gov
eminent receive special Minister for special
purpose only.
ION the 18th of January, the Minister Of War
issued an order for all the unattached officers (ot-
ciales sueltos) in depot to repair Immediately to the
frontier and join the army concentrating upon the
Rio Grande, for the defence of their national rights
in Texas. The present number of officers is about
5000. These alone sufficient TO officer an ar
my of 100, 900 men,"
1t is further stated that Plrades intends to in
wade Texas and that the Mexican army is to be
speedily increased to 10000 men. The army of
the United States stationed at Corpus Christi has
been ordered, as we learn, to the Rio Grande, the
extreme boundary line of Texas.
The official Declaration of the Independence OF
Yucatan had been received and published by
the Government, in the Mexican papers.

WHO IS JAMES K. PoLK~

We hear almost every day, of the prosperity
that prevails in the Eastern part OF North Caro-
lima. Produce of all kinds commands good pri-
ccs. and even in this region, and still farther TO the
West, there are evidences Of better times. To
our feIIow-citzens in the lower part of the State
Turpentine and Lumber have been, this season.
better than mines of gold-they have produced
large quantities of it. and have received for the
best of prices. Wilmington we are glad to learn,
is rapidly increasing in wealth and population; and
the same may be said, we believe, of Fayetteville
and other towns, which are receiving the benefit
of trade in turpentine lumber, and cotton. " Who
is James K. Polk ?" Will our Wing friends in
form us2 Is it possible that the country even
EXISTS under his Administration Can 1t be that
times are indeed better than they were when Mr..
Clay passed through Raleigh eIectioneering for
the Presidency2 Or is it all dream2-
We shall make no extravagant promises TO the
Southern people, but we believe that the career OF
prosperity under the present Administration has
not as vet fairly commenced Under the modified
Corn-laws of Great Britain it is estimated that the
consum pton Of Grain in that country will great
ly increase, and this will create extraordinary
demand, especially in the agricultural States loI
supplies OF Corn, Wheat, and Cotton. Add to
this Revenue Tariff in our own country afford
ing to consumers in all sections goods of all kind:
at the cheapest possible rates. and we shall have
some idea of the profits soon to be realized by oul
planters and farmers. We agree with the Demo
cratic Review, that "the South will not fail tc
find, in the usual effect of cheap food abroad ane
prosperity among the farmers at home, quicken
ed sale for their great staple at improving prices
The prospect of future commercial prosperity
growing out of the removal of government re
strictions upon trade, never so great as now

MINISTER TO SPAIN.

We know our readers and the people Of the
State generally, will be much gratifedto learn,
that on Wednesday last the President nominated
the Hon. RomuIus M, Saunders as Minister 10
Spain, and that his nomination was unonimouslg
confirmed by the Senate. A very high compli-
fient is thus paid by the Administration to North
Carolina, while the office has been conferred upon
gentleman in every respect qualified TO perform
its important and responsible duties. The Wash
ington Correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
truly says ga better selection, or one which will
give more general satisfaction throughout the
whole country, could not have been made" North
Carolina will now have three native born sons at
the Courts of Europe, to wit: Mr.. King at Paris,
Mr.. Rencher in Portugal, and Gen. Saunders at
Madrid. .l ...

dint Of industry and good economy, great many
of them managed to get out. And again some Ave
or six months ago the price of all SORTS of produce
advanced, and itshas seemed To me that those who
suffered the most has fancied that il could never
fall again, and have gone right head:ong into the
same errors of which they once felt the sting.
The advance now has happened al Time when
there were temptations offered TO partake of the
evil lrtsf 3 asis,h
! will now undertake to give you some idea of
the manner in which the disease has been treated
by what will term Doctors. When patient gets
fully screwed up TO the last pinch, aud has no
money, he will have what will term a friend,
who will send quack TO his relief, as one might
say, although this friend may tie equally as much
in distress but he viii send This quack (consIabe)
TO give him emetic, which will cause the pa
lent considerable trouble if no pain and at length
he will vomit little, which will give him ease
from that quarter. But very soon another friend
(cTedtor) will send another qNack who is, consid-
cred little more skillful (deputy sheriff. to ad-
minister another dose of the same kind OF medi-
cine, although the dose may be liule larger well
the patient turns and twists about, and perhaps
vomits that up, which will give relief there But
yet he is not well of the epidemic. He has an
other friend (creditor) whose friendship is larger,
and TO cap the climax he sends the old boss (she-
riff to give emetic and cahartic, which swee ps
out the poor fellows bowels as pump polt. And
thus it goes on from one poor fellow TO another ;
for as soon one has dose administered to him,
he sends the Doctor right on to another. The
| reason why l know so well, is that / am real
sufferer. %. J. w.
