SANTA ANNA's FAREWELL ADDREss-We
have been not little amused in reading the
address Of this would-be Napoleon of the
American peninsula He has resigned the
Presidency Of that great and glorious republic
once the heritage of the Aztecs, and in tender
ing his resignation. he takes occasion 10 IN
form his countrymen that he has accomplish
ed such wonders in the "tented field" as,
himself being the Judge, far outshine the re-
nowned exploits of Bonaparte in the celebrated
Italian campaign. He says he has courted
death in every shape; tina, he has been woun-
led, and that he has had his clothes riddled
By the bullets OF the "perfdious Yankees. "
In word, he tells his unfortunate country
men, and we suppose some OF them will be-
lieve him, that he has performed prodigles OF
valor and generalship. but that fortune was
his foe. 1t is really rich and what adds to
the richness of the whole, is, that he S1rears
that he will continue to fight the " Northern
barbarans till either he is numbered with the
dead or they have ceased't polute the ho
ly' soil OF the republic with their impious
footsteps"
Santa Anna is an able and dexterous mana
ger, aud we have no doubt that he has written
this bombastc TRADE with fair calculation
upon the gulliblity of his countrymen.

DAsTARDLY OF all the mean, dastardly
acts, of which Santa Anna has been guilty
we think that OF his turning loose from the
prisons OF the capital fourteen or fifteen hun
dred felons, and arming them with knives, fo1
the express purpose OF carrying on the work
of assassination upon the American soldiery
is decidedly the most dastardly and barbarian
of them all. We do hope that if Gen. Scott
or rather Gen. Qutman, can lay his hands up
on these miscreants, he will treat them to AZ
assassn's desert-an ignominious death.

u. S. TREAsURY-We see it stated in a
letter of one of the Washington City cores
pondents OF the New York papers, that all OF
the eighteen million loan has been paid in
with the exception of four millions, and that
there is now in the Treasury about two mil
lions of dollars, which sum, together with the
current receipts, it is supposed will be amply
sufficient to meet the current expenses of Gov
eminent until the middle OF December, when
Congress can take the matter into considera.

VOLUNTEERING IN THE WEsT.-We do not
understand the reasons why our fellow-coun-
trymen in the great valley of the Mississippi
should be more patriotic or more war, like than
we of the old Atlantic States, but, neverthe-
less, such is the fact. Let a Regiment Of VOL
unteers he called for from one Of the valley
states; no sooner is the call made than the
Regiment is made up. Such has not been the
case, at least, in some of the Southern Allan
tic States. Now here is Tennessee, as it ap-
pears from the following letter from Major
Ringgold, has raised her 81 Regiment, and we
learn she is ready to make up another if re-
quired. We find the following extract of a
letter from Major Ringgold, dated Nashville,
Tenn Oct 10, and idresscd to Gen Tow
son, Pavmaster General U. S A, in the Union
of Oct goth -
81 proceeded to Louisville, where met
Major Games, and was by him Informed that
the payment of the Nashville regiment would
have to be male by me | arrived here on
Thursday last. The entire regiment was mus
tered IN on Friday, and the payment Will be
completed Tomorrow. Two companies of the
other regiment are expected to arrive here on
Tuesday, on their way to Memphis, and the
Governor has expressed wish TO have them
paid here. shall remain a day or two fol-
this purpose, and then proceed to Snthland
where there are two companies of the Ken.
lucky regiment. which shall likewise pay
and then proceed TO Memphis. Ii all the re.
giments of the last requlsition are like thi:
one, Gen. Butler will have most desirable
command. They are splendid body of vol
unteers, most OF them six feet high. They
have elected all their officers by exclamation

THE CoTroN CROP is estimated BY some OF
the Southern papers at two million two hun
dred thousand bales This is much larger
than the estimates made month ago, and we
believe the figure has been raised in conse-
quence OF the "picking" having turned out
more favorable than was anticipated. We
think this estimate beyond the truth, from
all the accounts which we have noticed in the
papers published in the large cotton growing

South CAROLINA AND RAIL ROADS "A
writer in the Charleston Mercury. who signs
himself ANTI DEBT, has taken strong grounds
against the States again participating IN the
construction of Rail Roads. Well, with this,
as a North CaroIinian, we have nothing pro-
lily to do We are, however, pleased to
see that this writer IN speaking OF the various
schemes projected, thinks that the Manchester
Road will carry twice as many passengers as
any1of the other routes. We are glad that a
Char1estonlGn makes even this admission. We
believe that the Wilmington & Manchester
Road will carry at least eight times as many
passengers per mile as any of the other Roads.
From calculations which we have made, and
we have taken some pains in making them,
we feel assured that the through travel, that
is, the great Northern and Southern travel,
will, in less than six months after the compile
ton of the work, be at least SO passengers per
day each way. Beyond this, we have every
reason:tc believe that the local travel will
equal that on any of the Roads Which the
mercury correspondent ehulhetdleo' A'iuee"'
4here is no man who knows anything about
the geography of the United States, and who
is at all acquainted with the Rail Road ques-
ton as it now exists, and who looks at the
Manchester route, but must admit that if there
is any scheme of this kind in all the Southern
country that can be profitable, it must, from
the very force of things, be the Wilmington
& Manchester Rail Road. We, the individu.
ais along the line OF this contemplated project
have shewn our faith in this scheme. by al.
