to,,,vs,s LINE or NEW yoRK Ann i'vERIooL
MAIL STEAMERs.-This line of ocean steamships,
built under the direction of E. X. Collins, Esq
the hulls of two of which will be launched next
month, will probably excel in point of swlftness,
and every other kind of excellence, any vessels
now afloat. They are intended to ply between
this port and Liverpool, and will, in all likelihood
prove the fastest and safest steam vessels ever
built. The machinery will be of immense
strength, the engines more solid and strong than
any heretofore constructed and the greatest ener-
gies of science will be directed to produce, in
their construction, the most perfect combination of
strength and swlftness. The contract with govern
ment provides that the vessels shall have such
capabilities TO admit of being converted, at any
time, into war steamers of the first class; and il
has been hitherto a trial of skill so to combine
the necessary strength with such modelling, IN
other respects, as would secure the greatest pos
slbe speed. The proprietors are sanguine that
they have attained In the construction of the New
York and Liverpool mail line this happy combl-
nation, to the fullest practicable extent. The
steamers are to be named, respectively, the At
lantic, the Pacific, the Arctic. the Adriatic, and
the Baltic, making them emphatically an ocean
line of steamers.

THE UNwRITrEN HISTORY OF TIE MEXICAN WAR
Some few weeks ago we published a communi-
cation, entitled &c Chapter from the Unwritten
History of the Mexican War;" describing some Of
the men and the movements IN the famous battle
of Molino del Rey. The author Of that article is
gentleman of the highest honor and veracity-a
military man of unquestionable capacity, end one
who was an eyewitness 10 most OF me scenes and
incidents he described.
We perceive that very long and elaborate reply
was made to the article yesterday, IN the columns
OF the Courier and Enquirer. The reply, however,
is by no means conceived IN the courteous man.
ner of the communication which it purports to
correct Yet, notwithstanding this disparity in
the style and tone of the two articles, we shall
endeavor to find room for the material parts Of
the reply, as soon as possible, in order that all
parties referred to may have fair play in the CO.
lumns OF this journal. We wish nothing but the
truth in relation TO this matter, and to all the DIS
tinguished men who have been engaged IN the
Mexican campaign.

IMPORTANT STATE EIEcT1oNs.-le sterday two
important State elections took place, one In
Georgia and the other in Florida In two or three
days we shall receive some of the returns from
these States. These returns, whatever they may
be, will give US additional data to Judge of the
chances of General Cass and General Taylor for
the Presidential chair.
If the result IN Georgia and Florida should be
very decidedly IN favor ofhe whigparty, twill give
an impetus to the election Of General Taylor that
will carry him ,riumphantly through the contest
ON the contrary, If the democratic party be veto
nous, the chances of General Cass Will be proper
tIonatey increased, and those of General Taylor
diminished The eyes of all politicians will be
fixed on those two elections. We have made COM
pete arrangements TO procure the earliest and most
authentic returns Of them, and the public may
res, satisfied of receiving the first and most accu-
rate intelligence through our columns.

The Corrupt Use of the Public Money, for
Party Purposes.

We learn that upwards OF million and halt OF
public documents-ihat is, OF partizan docu-
ments--have been distributed by the democratic
ranking committee, at Washington, since the
close of last session. The number of wing docu-
ments is not oct down, but l, Is quite reasonable
to suppose that the wing committee have not been
idle, and that, if they have not sent of quite as
many Buncombe speeches and articles az their
opponents, they have, al least exhibited no scrt,-
pulosity about using the power which they possess,
to gorge the mails with party statements and
representations, doubtless, containing as great
quantity Of trash and lies as those sent by their
opponents.
Previous to every Presidential election, several
members Of both houses OF Congress are appointed
committee TO remain IN Washington, during the
recess, for the purpose Of deluging the country,
both North and South, with documents generally Of
a most worthless character. The mails groan
with the weight OF these psrcels--the business
correspondence Of the country is often DELAYED In
consequence what is worse than either the
people are taxed 10 pay Tor the transmission of
matter sent, most generally, with the sole view of
helping a few men to office The peoples money
IL barefacedly squandered, in order that the pot-
clans may thrive.
For this practice, neither party is more TO blame
than the other. II is followed with a perfect UNI
derstanding between them that the fight is to be
vagcd with weapons purchased at the people 5
expense; and men, individually respe ctable, do not
scruple 10 comm, wholesale frauds on the govern
