that deafness, in nineteen cases out of twenty,
was produced either from a want of action in
the nerves Of hearing, or dryness in the ears |;
his object, therefore, was to find something
that would create healthy condition in those
parts. After a long series Of experiments his
efforts were at last crowned with success, in

Fife Three Million.

It has been intimsted by numerous Whig papers. and one genuine Mexican paper in the United States, that lhe Pres cidenl has either used or is about using the three million appropriation made by the last Congress, 10 the purpose of brioing conspicuous men in Mexico, to effect peace between the Two countries. but we do moi believe word of ii. If our recollection serves us right, acccr- ding to the act of Congress establishing the s',hree million" the President has no power or right to draw the money from the Treasury until after a peace had been concluded. The object SO far as we have been able 10 ascertain, in voting the money, was that the govern ment might be able to pay immediately on the conclusion of peace, if it was found necessary for her 10 do so, for the territory that was expected to be pur. chased by our Government, and ceded to this country. If weare not mistaken, the free millions of money yet lies n he Treasury, where it will continue 10 remaln, we are fearful from the unfa- vorable indication of peace with she Mexican people, for some time 10 come. It may be poss ble, that every cent of the three million may find it's way into Mexico, and some of it into Santa An- na's pockets. but not as bri6e, for it would be of bm little importance to Mr.. Pols to bIibe such treacherous people.

Kendall, of the Picayune, writing from Puebla, Mexico, July 18th, says that the South Carolina Regiment has suffered from sickness more than any other Regiment in the service. It was thought that the Northern regiments would suffer most in the tropics, but the New Workers and South Carolini ans have been, as il were, side and side, and the former have had but few cases on the sick list comparatively. The South Carolinians, out of 91O strong when first mustered, now turn out but about 400. Oi the other 500 some l4O have died, 200 have been len sick in the rear, and the rest are now in the hospi tai here. The health of the regiment is improving, however, and many are con. valescing.

The City of Mexico.

The accounts from Mexico represent the commercial interests of that city in a most prostr ate condition. It seems that scarcely package of goods have been received within the last three months, and the foreign merchants look to he entrance of Gen. Scott in the city as glorious epoch. They think if it is not the means of bringing about spec dy peace,it will at least give an open communication between Vera Cruz and the city, so that they can receive faeli. ties of trade. It is beyond doubt, that this class influence the public mind to great degree in that city, which gives us room for anticipating the entrance of Gen. Scott in few days, greater desire for peace prevails at the capital than at any other point in the Republic. but we are fearful the feelings of the people in that city are not ,hs feelings entertained in other portions of the country. We cannot look or expect the entrance of Gen. Scott into that city in any wise 10 be the, means of bring ing about spcedy peace, therefore we cannot entertain much hope of a peace until military forces are established al, every point of the country, and militia " Government established by our for. ces, before the people of that country will forget and forgive their infuriaied feelings and prejudices against the cti- gems of the United States. For in ma ny portions indications are given of a determination to resist what they term "Yankee aggression" as long as they are able to muster a force. With this feeling, and the anticipated interference of European powers, leaves us little reason for the hope of a speedy peace.
