Financial Affairs.

By the late expose of Secretary Walker it appears that
the government, the LIST of October had the teasu
nv balance of nearly five Millions and had not yet call
ed in five millions of the last loan Their available
preceding quarter the revenue had supplied all the dis
bursements, except million OF dollars per month, or
three millions the aggregate drawn from the loan. At
this rate no loan will be required for six eight
months to come and should the government succeed in
realizing from customs and contributions in Mexico mil
the prospect in Mexico' Under the old Spanish dy-
nasty, the t,centy millions annually one
half of which sent out of the country The annual
produce of the mines is still twelve millions of dollars
and since the revolution the revenue of the country has
equaled sixteen mions a large part of which has been
drawn from customs.
The policy of government undoubtedly is to take pos
session of the large cities particularly Queretaro Qua
naxuao, and San Luis and thus open way from the
mines to Vera Cruz.
the large force in motion, this may be easily effected
Our fleet should then seize and hold the ports OF San
Bias Mazatan, Acapulco, and Guaymas, the western
coast. Twelve hundred men would reduce and hold
them all Monthly contributions should then be levied
on each city, averaging dollar ahead the inhabitants,
and payable in money provisions. Such acquisitions
would soon render unpopular Mexico, while the
disbursements OF army would thus come back in con-
tributions.
When Frederick the Great in the seven years war
was attacked by the combined forces of Austria France,
and Russia, his first movement to occupy Sax
ony, and to raise contributions from the conquered
territory. With the millions thus raised he carried the
war; and by untng courage and perseverance preserved
his kingdom. Our policy is the Let road be
opened from Mexico and San Luis to the and at least
six millions of specie, now kept back, will pour out OF
Mexico, and imports flow back, producing duties The
SPECIE too will relieve alike the banks of Eng and and
the Union, and prevent further shipments 10 both Mexico
and Europe. OBSERVER.

Indiana Regiment.

The "Madison Qndiana) Courier" of the goth Octo-
ber says "The fifth regiment Of Indiana volunteers have
orders to strike their tents Tomorrow embark board
steamboats,, and leave for New Orleans In ten or twelve
days they will be speeding across the Gulf-in three
weeks be the road to Vera Cruz perhaps occasionally
taking brush with the guerlas-and in six weeks
be encampei in the valley of Mexico and in sight of the
spires of the great city" 1t speaks in the highest
OF the exemplary order and fine discipline which they
have exhibited since their encampment at Madison and
says that "the interchangeable exeons of Col Lane,
onded by the other officers have already brought the
regiment to considerable proficiency in military evou
tions so far as they can be executed without arms OF
their distinguished commander the New Albany Bulletin
remarks:
Col Lane is favorably known the people of Indiana
brave and pd soldier in the fought and sanguna-
nv conflict with Santa Anna and the Mexican army the
memorable battle of Buena Vista. With such a command
those forming the 9th Indiana regiment need have
fears the which flow from inererence and
incapacity"
The Courier also notices military precauton which
has been taken by the Colonel:
We learn that Col Lane has been ordered to appoint
three euenants, with three assistants from the ranks,
different recruiting stations the State, in order
keep the regiment fall all the time they remain in Mexico
This is considered very wise proceeding experience
has taught that regiments dwnde down to compare
lively few effective The second Indiana for instance
had less than five hundred the morning of the bat
tie fBuena V ista."

Wehave seen, the quartemasters department day,

piece of wood eaten to resemble honeycomb--
or rather looked like piece of hornets nest 1t was
sent Washington from the Brazos and piercing is
the hard mouth of this little insect, and SO active when it
penetrates the FIBRE that the wood was reduced to its
present appearance in the OF 80 days II was not
the part of vessel but piece of the ways laid to bring
articles the shore 1t is scarcely possible for vessel to
lie in those waters if it be unsheathed with copper, with
out serious damage One two steamboats, which
without copper bottoms have sunk in those waters-all
the others have been sheahed The insect is said to be
at first laid upon the timber in the form of nit and
when it is Matched, it perces the wood, making very
small hole but the increases in size, in pass
ing through it, it eats larger aperture into it, When
it has gone through piece of TIMBER instead of pene
trang the opposite surface, it turns around and eats its
way back.
