Far,ler from Gen. Taylor.

The Pcayune has farther advices from the camp of Gen Taylor.
 On the fourth of July snmpiuous dinner was given at Monterey hy the merchants and citizens to Gen Taylor, The principal incident at the dinner (says the Picayune) was speech from Gen Taylor, which was called forth by a toast associating his name with the Presidency. The speech was quite un- expected and listened to with great inter. est and aroused the greatest enthusiasm. We understand that il was in the same split with the recent letters which have been published from hi,n--t.iat if he con senied to the use of his name, it was al the call of his country; and that if eleo- ted. he should serve 10 the best of his ability. for lhe benefit of the whole coun> | try, not of party.
 The P.cayune is expecting full re- port of this speech and promises 10 lay | it before it's readers.
 A correspondent of the PIcayune al Monterey gives an interesting account OI pleasure eACuISlUn G1dQe on tue Eth inst by Gen Taylor to Mamalequi the plantation of Gen Arsta. He was accompanied by hls staff. At every place where he stopped on the way, he was treated with great distinction. The excursion lasted two days.
 It is the intention of Gen Taylor to re- turn to visit his family in November, if his military duties do not prevent him. The editor of the Matamoras Flag (says the Picayuue) has seen copy Of paper published at San Luis Polosi and often mentioned in Mir Kendall's letters. E, Estandarie dc Jos Chiaaeatas The Flag says the paper IS surmoun:ed with horrid looking wood cut, repre- senting Gen Valencia on horseback, holding an ensign, inscribed Hail Virgin of Gaudalupe,' and on pended knee in front of him, Gems Scott and Taylor, supplicating for pardon-'P Pardon, Me jicana! pordon' is made to issue from their mouths.

Honest and Happy.
BY c. LlNNFUs BANKS, ESQ.

BY c. LlNNFUs BANKS, ESQ. There's much in the world that is doubtful There's much we shall ne'er understand Why Virtue should live in Poor -house, And pice on the fat of the land For those who are iretful and peevish,
 Fms du;y remains 10 iufl; But try to be honest and happy,
 And let the world do as it Wl!l. The poor wretch who walks upon crutches May often be enved far more Than he who in splendid apparel
 Can shut on the began his door; He cares not for claret and sherry;
 Of venison he has not his fll- . Yet dares to be honest and happy,
 Aud lets the world do as it will. He 5oasteth no lordly possessions,
 No livery at table 10 wait; He maketh no hollow professions
 To cheat his friend sooner or late: He ruins no working trad les man,
 Why gets but curse for his bill; But tries 10 be honest and happy,
 And lets the world do as il will. He joins not the bowl or the vassail, He seeks not the gambler or sot; Contentment and health are his blessings That daily recur to his lot; And while in the midst of his children Good precepts he tries to instil, He shows that he's honest and happy, And lets the world do as il will. Ohl who would then grumble at fortune, Though sorrow and toilng betide? The man who with ,1eoM is d riHidn, Might be rirtuous were it denled! Too much may o'erburden and sink you, Too little oft keep you from ill; Then try to be honest and happy,
 And let the world do as it will, Then who with plenty is honest,
 Hath litt'e to ask for his name; But he who though humble is upright, Shall live in the annuls of Fame. The vicious may mock at his mem'ry, But ages will think on him still; Then strive to be honest and happy, And let the world do as it will.

Women and Dancing.

Iee following humorous dialogue is taken, we believe, from one of the novs els of Dr. Lever, the author of Tom Bu'ke of Ours:'
 'lbelleve woman would do great deal for dance,' said Dr. Growing; they are immensely fond of salulary motion. l remember once 1 used to flrt with one who was great favoIite m provincial town where lived, and she was invited 10 ball there, and con- fded 10 me she had no stockings 10 ap- pear in, and without them her presence at the hall was out of the question:.
 That was hint for you 10 buy the stockings,' said Dick.
 No, you're out said Growling.- Sine knew that was as poor as her. self; but though she could rot rely on my purse, she had every confidence in my taste and judgment, and consulted fife on plan she had for going to the ball m proper twig; Now what do you lhnk it was P
 'ro go in cotton, suppose,' returned Dick.
 Out again, sir-you'd never guess 1t, and only a woman could have hit on Ihe expedieni. It was the fashion in those days for ladies in full dress to wear pink stockings, and she proposed painting her legs'
 Painting her legs, they all exclaimed.
 Fact, slr,' said the doctor, and she relied on me for telling her if ths cheat was successful
 And was il7' asked Durfy.
 Don't be in hurry, Tom. com" piled on one condition, namely-that L should be the painter'
 Oh, you old rascal,' said Dick.
 "A capital bargain
 But not safe covenani.' added the attorney.
 Don't interrupt me, genilemen,' said the Doctor. I got some rose pink &C., cordingly, and defy all the boosters in Nottingham to make a tighter fit tlan I did on Jenny; and preltier air of stocking l nevei saw.'
 And she went to the ball ? sflid Dick.
 sShe did.'
 And the trick succeeded P sked Dur. fy.
 So completely said the , octor, mat several ladies asked her 10 recommend her dyer to them. So you see what a woman wll do to go to dance. Paor lilile Jenny, she was merry minx-by the by, she boxed my ears that night for a joke made about the stockings: .Jen- n.,'sald l. for fear your stockings should Tall down when you are dancing, haa'n, you better let me paint pair of gar.ers on lbcm'

showing the Immense resources Of the region

says:--

couHtry-nothing seems wanting to the intro

selves whether Considerations alike Of seli-in-
