to come down the river in a very short time,
whereby the wants ofthe people of these coun-
TOTES would not only be supplied, but that numer-
Gus cargoes would he transported to this king

Sous OF Observation-Disclosures the only ev-
idence of the existence of that interest which
few years since was manifested in the promo
ton of the principles Of Temperance, is found
in the formation of new Divisions of the "Sons
of Temperance" wherever sufficient number
can be found to form one.
Many, howeyer,of the old and efficien: friends
of the cause stand aloof, suspicious ofthe move
ment because the 'sDivisions" hold their meet
tings in secret, and the fraternity Of the Sons
is considered a secret order. 1t is true the meet
ings of the "Divsions" are in private; they are
however no more liable to the charge of secre-
cy in an obnoxious sense, than are the private
meetings of the Church sessions, Synods, clas-
ses, sc. &c. and that privacy is precisely for
the same object; to discuss without Interrupt
ton, the measures necessary to forward the
cause they are laboring to promote, and to in
terchange sentiments freely with those who are
connected, in the promotion of that cause by a
common tie.
In the Ord er O! the "Sons," there is to be
found none of those features which have render
ed "Secret Societies obnoxious to many
no oaths and penaltics,-no exclusiveness;-no
pretentions to Antiquity, or the possession of
marvellous light. and wonderful principles, kept
concealed from the uninltiated. In fine, there
is nothing which should prevent the staunch
advocates of Temperance from coming up to
forward this movement; to unite themselves
with an order whose exertions will be firm, for
ward, consistent and unremitting.
We cannot doubt that should all the friends
of Temperance consolidate their efforts in the
mode offered by the ''Order of Sons" the cause
attalned;-a point too, from which it will not
retrograde.

hcLce We went tuw b through long valley
or gorge, with high perpendicular cliffs on each
side, famous for the number of robberies which
have been committed there: and, after emerg-
ing from it, we entered another village called
Cruz Btuaco-White Cross-of somewhat bet
ter appearance thar the two last mentioned
Still descending from this place, we crossed a
beautiful little valley, covered with very green
grass, and spotted by yellow flowers like butter
cups, reminding me of many places in the Blue
Ridges counties of Virginia ; and after passing
the ridge, which forms its western boundary, we
saw spread before us the great central plateau
of Mexico, The weather had become clear s.
cold; and, seated on the coach box, had the
opportunity of observing, in succession, the
rev objects presented.
On reaching the plain, the first thing worthy
of remark was plantation of .Haguey, or .4g-
noe .4mericana-the american aloe of our
green houses--from winch is extracted the
Pulque, the universal beverage of the people
of the upper regions of Mexico. Wet then pas
sed large hacienda, with its long range of low
buildings, looking like fortress, and its great
church rising in the midst; and about sunset
we entered the town of Perote, having employ
ed eight hours in travelling the thirty miles be-
tween that place and Jalapa. The distances on
the road, by the estimate, are as follows;

A valued friend, and " ho is a,so a dis tinguish-
ed citizen of this State, has forwarded to us the
following communication, which, at the pres
ent moment, will no doubt, be perused with gen.
eraI interest.
The letter from Gen. Taylor is written with
the same modesty anddelicacy offeeling, which
have so eminently Characterised everything we
have seen from his pen.
1t is sufficient, we hope, to set at rest all the
doubts as to his acceptance of the nomination
for the Presidency, which have been expressed
by those in whom ''the wish was farther to the
thought"
WEST Baron ROUGE, La. 18th May Al.
WIN. l.. HODGE, Esq:
Dear Sir: | send you annexed, an extract Of
letter,whch have recently received from gen.
Taylor; and as it shadows forth the feelings and
views of the general on the subject of the next
Presidency, in manner which can do no vio-
lence to the feelings of any one, have deter
mined to have published that portion ofit,which
relates to subject, in which his name has been
very generally associated throughout the coun-
try for some time past. do so, with the more
readiness, because il is the more calculated to
give proper insight into the real character of
this eminent man. Please let it have place
| in your columns.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully.
SIN regard to the Presidency, will not say
that will not serve, if the good people of the
country were to require me to do go, how much
it is opposed to my wishes, for am free to say
that have no aspirations for the situation.-
My greatest, perhaps only wish, has been to
bring, or aid in bringing this war to a speedy
and honorable close. 1t has ever been, and still
is, my anxious wish, that some Of the most ex-
perienced, talented, and vrtuous statesman of
the country, should be chosen, to that high place
at the next election. lam satisfied that if our
friends will do their duty, such citizen may
| be elected.
81 must, however, be allowed to say, that
have not the vanity to consider myself qualified
for so high and responsible station,and whilst
we have far more eminent and deserving names
before the countryI should prefer to stand aside,

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.-The NeW-Haven
Herald, publishes a letter from Woodbury.,
Conn. giving an account of an incident SO re-
markable that it would hardly be received for
truth were it not that the writer was reliable
eyewitness of what he describes He says
On the 18th inst. an immense flock of birds,
commonly known chimney swallows. collec-
ted over the village, where, by their gyraiions,
nrmb .rss aud peculiar notes, they attracted much
attention for apout two hours, when they began
to describe a regular circle in the heavens.
This ii Gle the mysterious visitors, by their
evolutons, made smaller aud sm Her until it be-
came quite contracted, when SUDDENLY they COM
menced descending into well which was direc-
tly under the center of their former movements.
Soon some of them were seen flying out, and
for few minutes many were moving In each
direction, though the greatest number going in.
While the birds continued thus entering and
escaping, acme individuals approached the we'll
and TOR time stood directly over it, observing
the movements of the little adventures. The
presence of the observers was not at first re-
garded by them, but they continued their appa-
rent purpose of a visit to the cool waters for a
while, when they ceased to fly in and Immediately
DISAPPEARED entirely from the heavens.
On examination we found the water about
four feet below the surface of the ground, and
tie well in every part completely covered with
the birls-many of them dead and others dying,
and all, as was very manifest. having first ali
rhteI directly in the water.
After all had flown away that seemed able or
wiling. an individual went into the well in order
to remove the rest but so thick were the birds
in the cre7ices that he was obliged to clear
away numbers TO find places for his hands and
feet. He collected upward of seven hundred,
as was found by enumeration, and as many
more few away before he entered.
The object of the vistants no one can divine
and they did not see fit to tell us intelligibly,
though they kept up quite chattering among
themselves.

comprising many officers of distinction, had Of
fered their rervices to the American consul at
Basic, for the war in Mexico, on condition that
they be permitted to settle in the country they
should help to win.
Inasmuch as the acceptance of this offer,
would be an indelble stain on the character of
our own citizens, and is, besides. contrary to
the spirit and letter of the constitution which
prohibits the reception of aliens into our army.
we trust the offer will be declined.

twelve millions. In 1898 a census was taken.
which sh wei about four millions; and half.

been unstable, and she has been much conyulsed
with wars and revolutions. But so was our
own country during the severe struggle of our
revolutionar nv war and De Tocquevie lays il

The population of the United States is dou-

in less time: and even that of old England in
about forty-four years. Why, then. should
Mexico be supposed to have stood still tits
fair to infer that she has now more than twelve
millions instead of less. It is certainly ques-
ton of growing imports nee for Mr.. Polk .oa. :
swer how he is to take care of these twelve

or rather when he has conquered their principal
