SPoTs ON THE SUN.-There are now % large
spots on the Sun, says the Philadelphia Inquirer
of yesterday, each with penumbra or shadow,
while the smaller ones are almost too numerous to
count These spots appear through the glass as
black as ink-thc black being the more intense
from its contrast TO the dazzling glory around
The smallest spots average 600 mles in diameter
and the largest are from $4,000 to 10000 miles
across-that is, twice the diameter Of our earth
On one day Of last week, the sun exhibited very
peculiar appearance, being of pale yellow color
and several of the spots appeared imme daeIy af-
forwards The largest spot, however, has now
been on the sun for II days, during which period
it has changed its form several times.

President Of the United States approaching, and
they resolved to leave the question TO him. Mr.
Van Buren,, on being applied TO, inquired how they
stood. He was told they were equally divided.
Without a moments hesitation, and putting on a
peculiar smile, the President replied, No matter

FLAX AND FLAxsEED. The Eaton co., Register
says, that Preble county is the greatest ax-gr
ing county in this State or the Union. This year
The crop exceeds any previous one, in the quantity
sown; and the yield of seed will be about an ave-
rage. II is computed that 100, 900 bushels of seed
will be raised this year; Of this quantity one-tenth
will be required for home consumption, leaving
10000 bushels for market. This at the price at
which seed now rates, SIS cents, will bring into the
county the neat sum of $47,5O0. The flax crop,
if some means of preparing the lint could be de-
vised, would be very profitable. Lint, just as il
comes from the brake, is worth S25 Per ton

A telegraphic dispatch from Richmond THIS
morning announces that Gen. Wool had been
ordered by Gen. Taylor 10 advance upon San
Luis de Polos on the 20h instant. Now thai
Gen. Taylor's column is about to resume ac-
tive hosuhties, we may look for interesting
news from his quarter.
This movement does not look peaceike. II
only goes to confirm the opinion OF Col. Ben.
ton expressed day or two ago,--that il is
easier 10 get into war with weak power
than TO get out Of it; that we are only acting
over what France has been doing in her A &c,
rine war, and Russia in her Caucasian war.
The opinion Of the Executive, we under,
stand, is more boldly expressed Than usual, in
favor Of our subjugation of the whole Of
Mexico as the only means Of putting an end
to the war. In this opinion, il is stated, the
whole Cabinet now fully concurs.
The condition of the Treasury is the most
alarming subject of consideration with the
Executive. II is stated, on the best authority
Treasury au,hority-,ha, there is not now a
single dollar in hand--lhal the estimated re-
ceipts from the present time to the LIST oil De
cember, are more than three times absorbed.
It's asceraincd that the Mexican war tariff
had Melted up to the LIST instant, a little over
$500 900. ...sF
The losses which we have experienced in
the course of the war so far, are tremendous
They do not get out. A gentleman recently
from the seat Of war informs us that five mil
lions Of dollars will not cover the losses Of oul
trains alone by capture.
The Executive is cogitapg a scheme &c
levy an export duty Of Is per cent. upon specie
going out of Mexico. The orders will proba-
bly, appear in few days. 81,

A PLEA FOR THE CoNaUEsr OF CivILIzA
rroN.-The following extractCrom an grafton
delivered at Plymouth December 22d, 1902, on
The Anniversary of the Landing of the Pill
grims, by John Quincy Adams, is an eloquent
plea for the conquest Of civilization. Mr.. Ad
ans has always stood far in advance Of Mas
sachuses upon this question::
The Indian right of possession i'self,
stands, with regard to the greatest part OF the
country. upon questionable foundation
Their cultivated fields their constructed hab-
lalions; a space Of ample sutiiclency Tor their
subsistence; and whatever they had annexed
to themselves, by personal labor, was undonbl-
eddy by the laws of nature thens But VIVA,
| is the right Of huntsman 10 the forest OF q
| thousand miles, over which he has accden'
tally ranged in quest OF prey? Shall the
liberal bountes OF Providence TO man be mo-
nopolzod by one of ten thousand for whom
they were created? Shall the exuberant bo-
som of the common mother, amply adequate
| to the rourishmcnt of millions, be claimed
| exclusively by a few hundreds OF her off
spring? Shall the lordy savage not only
disdain the virtues and enjoyments OF civiliza.
lion himself, but shall he control the civlliZa
ton OF the world2 Shall he forbid the wilder.
ness to blossom like the rose2 Shall he forbid
The oak TO fall before the axe of industry, and
to rise again transformed into the habltations
Of ease and elegance? Shall he doom an I'M
mense region Of the globe to perpetual dcsola-
,ion, and TO hear the howlings oil the tiger and
the wolf silence forever the voice of human
| oladness? Shall the hills aud the valleys,
which benefcent God has formed 10 tecm
with The life of innumerahc mulitudes, be
condemned TO everlasting barrenness Shall
the mighty rivers. poured out by the hand of
nature, as channels of communication between
numerous nations, roll their waters in sullen
silence and eternal solitude, to the deep ?
Have hundreds Of commodious harbors, a
thousand leagues of coast, and boundless
ocean, been spread in front Of this land, and
shall every purpose OF utility to which they
could apply, be prohibited by The tenant Of The
woods? No, generous philanthropisls. Hea.
ven has not been thus inconsistent in the work
of its hands Heaven has not thus placed al
irreconcilable strife, its moral laws with its
physical creation"

satisfaction; but call the next day, and you may
perhaps discover that he has utterly forgotten the

Thorn and General Jones. To these gentlemen
the President made promises, and forgot them as
soon as it was commemorative O. National.
