At late meeting Of one Of the societies
of the Hanover College, reverend gentle
man of Louisville was called upon to make
a speech He rose and said--"Gentlcmen
it is a difficult matter to make speech,
when there is no subject to speak about; it
is not the easiest thing in the world when
YOU have a subject. If Won will allow me
TO quote a vulgar proverb, at is hard to
draw blood from a turnip''-Oh go on
said Professor s., ''pcrhaps something will
turn up." 1t was in vain for the reverend
gentleman to think of proceeding with his
remarks amid the roars of laughter, that en-
sued, and so joining in the mcriment, he
quietly sat down. Louisville Journal.
| EATABLE Moss.-The French army in
! Africa have discovered an edible substance
rolling on the ground, like little rolls Of
! leather, in the desert OF Sahara. II is
sort of iichcn or moss which grows on the
ground after the rainy season. When the
dry weather comes it cracks in the sun,
/ rolls up and is carried about by the wind.
The little rolls are found lodged under the
tufts Of thyme bushes, the only bush which
grows IN that part Of the desert. The sub
stance is hard, brittle and farinaceous, and
when powdered makes a tolerable bread of
itself, and better when mixed with tenth
| flour How Nature abhors vacuum

A TIomr Frr.-Ihc Pittsburg Banner
asks:
Did you ever hear a man oppose ''penal
enaclmcnts" being applied to rumselers,
| for killing men with intoxicating liquors,
that was not a strong advocate for hanging
men when they murder by any other
means!

STILL LATER FROM GENERAL SCOTS
ARMY.

Since the war news in another part of our
paper was in type, we have received the N.
o. papers containing the arrival of the steam
ship Palmetto, at that place, on the morning
of the 9th May, bringing dates from Vera
Cruz up 10 the 22d We condense such items
of news as we think will be of most interest.
The Palmetto brings dates from Jalapa up
TO the 21st
Gen. Worth entered the city of Puebla on
the 9Th May, without any resistance. His
force was about $500 men.
General Scott still remains at Jalapa
The American Eagle, published at Vera
Cruz, states that Gen. Shields was still recov-
2ering.
Although there were several cases of the
vomito, il had not, as yet, assumed the form
OF an epidemic.
THE NAvY-The Vera Cruz Eagle, OF the
18th, contains the accounts of the capture by
our Naval forces, of the town of Talascoya
Capt Mayo, Governor of Alvarado, comman-
ded the expedition. On his return down the
river in his boats, he was fired upon from a
dense chapparral, and had some of his men
wounded.
1t had not been ascertained who had been
elected President of the Republic of Mexico
Mr.. Kendall, in one of his letters from Jalapa
thinks that Herrera will be the man.
This is the substance of the news by the
Palmetto.

How IT WoRKs.-The following, which
we clip from the business column of the Bos-
ton Post, is most beautiful commentary up
on the clamors raised by the Federalists a.
bout the ruin which the Democratic Tariff of
'46 would bring upon the manufacturers of
New England -
"Sales of Essex Co., (water- power and land
at Lawrence,) for 99a per cent premium, and
Amoskeag Co., Manchester water power,
land, and cotton manufacturing,) at as per
cent. Advance, besides its extra dividends of
surplus profits by creation of new stock. York
or Saco Manufacturing Co. stock is worth %,
and Merrimack is almost priceless, as holders
part with it very reluctantly at any price,

WILMINGTON MARKET-June 8

BACON.-There was sale of $500 lbs. a
day or two since, at lO3c. hog round. The
stock in market of every description is still
light, and quotations are very firm.
CORN-The only receipts since our last,
have been per Railroad and from Fayetteville.
Although there is fair supply on the market
for present demands, our last quotations have
been fully maintained, and prices have adgan-
