TRooPs ExPEcTED.-The two regiments of Ken
lucky and the two regiments Of Tennessee vol,in-
teers, under the lust call of the War Department
are TO embark at Louisville on The st proxmo, says
the New Orleans Bulletin Of the 81 inst. They will
form the division under the command of Major
General BuTLEH, who, we are pleased to learn, will
arrive with the troops and accompany them to Vera
Cruz. Gen. BuTLER will be a valuable acquisition
to our army in Mexico, us he is excellent and gal
liant officer.
The whole of the transportation for the four regi-
ments is fully prepared and ready to receive them
so soon as they arrive and their detention in this city
will only be the time required to transfer them from
the steamboats, TO the transports.

TRADE OF THE Urp. MIssIssIppI.--Fo rty-one steam
boats left Gaena, last year, for this far away region
ladened with merchandise. The exports Of lumber
from It were valued at the mills at s39O5OO This
year It is calculated that the ingoing and outcomng
trade will equal one and a half millions. The lum-
Der mills are on the Wisconsin, the Black the Chip
pewa, and the St. Croix rivers. 1t is on this last,
that the Boston company is located, at the head Of
which is Mr. Rantoul. Its secretary is Mr.. Cheeyer,
formerly of this city Gen. Gushing is heavy stock
holder in it, They have six mills, running IA saws
and send out lumber annually to the amount of
sl42,bOO. On the Wisconsin are 81 mills, running
SO saws On the other two tributaries above named

The ART OF LIVING LoNo-Cultivnte the intellect
and you have this art. The more intellectual we are
the less sensual viii be. Death is the end of the
sensual whehe intellectual leads to life. This thing
is taught by the great Master All his precepts-all
his practice look to mental improvement and moral
excellence Highly educated men and women live
longer than those who do not cultivate their minds.
The mind was given to us to improve We may
know this from the fact Of its improbablity. "The
upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall
remain in It," saith the wise man. Who can be up
right who can be perfect, If he neglecs to improve
and cultivate his mind?

its body, and lis bent upon removing those defects
those excrescenccs those evils the risk of its
life. Arouse the people to sense of their duty
Teach them how they have gone astray from It, Bid
them remember the imperfections of human society
Bid them tolerate those imperfections Bid them
to rely on the arm Of strength in the day Of trouble
and not to trust in their own weakness. Let thy
voice once more be heard, and thy countrymen will
hear thee
But not Henry Clay alone do we call upon to ar
rest the tendency Of the public mind to forget the
value of the Union. We call upon all the wise men
in it TO speak. There is not only one Clay. There
are thousands. Let them speak through the truln-
pet-tongued press Let their speech be firm and not
uncertain. We want not the false lights which, Of
late, men, claiming TO be instructors Of the public
mind have held up to illumine our paths. They are
in The dark themselves. They are swayed TO and
fro BY the very evil which they think they are cor
recting-the growing sentiment that no good in
the Union, but all the evil In negro slavery. They
are blind, leading the blind They do not rise supc
rior to the errors around them, but mount upon
them, and are carried by them whthersoeyer they
are hurried along the stream Of human passion.
II Is time that the wise men Of the country should
lift this question of the continuance Of the Union out
Of the bog fpary II has been long there II has
been trampled on The Union WINS not formed by par
ty. II cannot be sustained and continued by party
though 1t sustains and continues party. Party must
bow before the majesty Of the Union In the dis
CUSTOM therefore, Of this slavery question
we have no regard to party. We speak as an Amer
lean who loves the Union above all earthly things
and wo rebuke utrasm wherever and whenever we
find IT, The spirit Of indifference to the Union meets
with no favor from us. Anathema, marenatha be
he who would disturb It, who would do or say aught
to lessen the popular affection for it. That affection
has already been cooled by the vile arts Of the dena-
gogue but II only requires the right string to be
