FEMALE EDUcATIoN.-The hope of the country depends upon the proper culture of the female mind. It is woman that inn plants in Us our first vrtuous sentiments; and her tender care, in most instances, first instlls into our minds the elements of knowledge Educate all the mothers of the land, and the sons will not grow up in ignorance. Men, may, in the cares and anxiety oi business, be neglectiul of the early mental culture of their children; but have never yet seen a mother, whose mind, was irradiated with the least spark of intel. ligence that did not manifest a proper in- terest in the education of her offs bring.

The advices from the invading army, which we publish in another column and the position andman- ner in which our forces are known to be disposed, are well calculated to create anxiety if not a0pre- henslon SANTA ANNA appears to be moving with a bodness and tact that were hardly expected and If he have nearly the force that is reported, he is abundantly able to make descent on one or the other of the detached posts held by our troops, and by superiority of numbers cutting 1t to pieces Gen.
 WoRTH's command at Saltillo though not 90 far from succor as the division under Gen. Wool is the point directly threatened, the destruction of that
 would involve also the destruction of Gen. Wool
 cutting off his communications. The position of the
 advance posts respectively were Gen. BUTLER at Monterey with about 200O men; Gen. WoRrn at Salo with about TOO; Gen. Wool at Parras with about 5000. The two latter places are west of the
 mountains.
 That SANTA ANNA has made the movement ndi- cated there IS no reason 10 doubt but many to believe gentleman in this city received letter fev days since from officer in Gen. WooI's army, mentioning that rumor had reached that camp of SANTA AHNA's advance, and it is probable that SANTA ANNAis well informed of the comparatively small force, at the several posts in possession of the Americans md of their being widely scattered. In possessonof this information, rapid march to Satillo and taking possession of that place would cut off comnunca- ton between Gen. WooL's column and the forces immediately under the Command of Gen. TYroR General WooLs camp at Paras is west anda few points north of SaltiIlo 1l5 miles distant Sal Luis Potos Is almost directly south of Salto, the great road from San Luis Potos to Saltllo passing short distance east of General WooL's camp. If SANTA ANNA took this road, Gen. Wool would be alprlsed ofthe enemy in sufficient time to break up his camp and join Gen. Worth at Saltillo but there is road marked on the maps. from Zacatecas 10 Saltlo di- rect, which is probably the road preferred by the Mexican chief, and should he succeed in re,chng Saltlo before General Worth could be wei rein forced, it is possible the place may have to be eacua ted as no force ofconsequence could be spared from the garrison at Monterey.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.-En- tire returns have not been received-a report how ever. reached here day or two since which, if true rendersit extremely doubtful whether Newton or Rust is elected. If Noland had have withdrawn Newton would have been elected by majority of TOO votes-as it is We fear that we have lost Whg Congressman.
 BUFFALOEs IN THIS COUNTY-some time about the last of December a young Buffalo weighing about 300 lbs. was taken at the plantation of Mir Ellis Ward, in this county about l6 miles from this place. He was run down by dogs after chase of about hours, and was so much exhausted thereby, that he soon died from fatigue. MT. Ward informed us that its extremely fat, which no doubt was the occasion of its death from excessive heat. How this animal became estranged and sep arated from the herds (none of which are known to be within less than so 90 miles of this pace) is mystery, though it is conjec;ured that he probably followed stray OK into this county
 LOSS OF THE U. S.

Eight men went ashore o1 hen-coops, Vera Cruz, after having been in the water 90 hours, and were taken prisoners of war by the Mexcans. Great credit is due the officers and crews of the English and French vessels of war at at anchor near the Somers the time: every assist ance possible their part rendered

Il is expected that we shall have telegraphc CON-

about the hrst of January next Mobile and New

TO THE GREEK SLAVE.
| marvel, as gaze upon thes now,
II Mother Eve were hair as fair as thou,
Or Ruth, the bssutiful or Phsrosh's daughter,
Who took up little Moses from the water.
II Hagar had been gifted with thy form,
She had not passed unto the deserts storm;
But better as it is, that Abraham made her
For Louis Philippe and Abd-el-hadsr.
And 1t may be that she who lost Troy,
Homer's ideal, gentle, chaste, and COY,
Looked ~ chou dost--if 80, cannot wonder
They sacked the city for such precious piuDder
Thy head Is Juno's, meeher than Of old,
Thy bosom such Phidias never Sold
Thy form is faultless but, in truth, the rest Is
A rare elaborated Madame Vestris.
Around thee gathers an admring crowd.
Who utter forth their critiques low and loud,
From cod fsh gentry in silk and prunella,
TO Marco Boxzaris and his umbrella
The uptown snob, with unseemly tone,
Who longs to call fathers wealth his own,
Cries, Keepah, amt the lower limbs too small;
And II they break of, wont the statue fall 7"
A city father next approached the place,
With brow unbent, In Aldermanic grace;
Looked, aud emp 1atio spoke-he meant \ all
This beats black Jefferson In the City Hall"
A cautious maiden 'twixt her fingers gaxed,
And then her veil from OF her face che raised
Fer earnest admiration made her holder
She was not sixteen, but little older
With heavy step slow came a millionaire,
His red voined face was spoplectic fair
He murmured to himself " She looks like Liazy;n
Then left the spot, feeling very dizzy.
A famous copnoisseur and poetsster,
Whose WORKS OF Arr 1.-TWO broken dogs In plaster)
He spoke Of laudly, said that 1t would take
A dozen such Dancing Girl to maken
A Carolinian, fresh from his plantation,
Cared till o'ercome with quito preparation
His brains were raeked-something was not right
He'd never seen slave girl half SO white.
An Abigail In gaping wonder stood
A fabtedu rfpanf in extRtic mood;
But finally her wonder thus expressed,
I'D love to lace her, II she's ever dressed"
An authoress, whose name is ever seen
Upon the outside Of some magazine
Discovered that her wardrobe was of woollen,
And that her lips were those Of Anna Bolsyn.
Yankee came" Dew telln at onoe he cried,
" II that's the slave guess" said he aside,
That she amt ready to be looked ut now
There's nothing on her but chain, vow"
Amid the throng met an earnes. eye
Whose heart was filed with human sympathy;
He drank in beauty from Its fouut that day,
And silent gazed and silent went away.

A blest divinity thou dost impart;
Enchainer OF my spirit-bssful hours
My gratitude Is thine, immortal Powers
