AdYices f.om Venezula represent a %contlnu-
ancc Of ciyj commotion. Gen. Paez is at the
head Of q powerful force, while the Amy Of
President Mongas is said to number about
5000 ai-led and iiI-paid troops. Paez seems to
be in the ascendant, but has not yet struck d
blow, and seems to wait for the different pro-
vinces to declare themselves. 1t is hoped that
he will then be able to close the revolution
with but littIe bloodshed.
Dates from Campeachy to the eth ult, re-
present a wrctchcd condition of affairs upon
the peninsula. The Indians continue their de-
predations upon the whites, and seem determ-
med to drive the latte from the country.
FROM MoNrEREy,-The Mississippi regiment
and Texan cavalry started, about the Sd inst.,1
from s]aitiilo, for MazapiI, the rich mining
country, to enforce the collection OF the rev.
onues los the Unitod States. We suppose Gen,
Wool had not then received information con-
ccrning Gen. Buffers artuisliee, which relieves
the Mexican States from all duties imposed by
Gem Scott, save those upon liquor and gamb-
ling establishments.
Gen. Wool published an order, under date
Of the 2pb ult, in reference to a band of fame
rican robbers, Composed principally Of dessr-
tofs and discharged soidiets,) who have been
r]avaging the country from Parras 10 the Presi-
do de Rio Grande, and committing every
species Of atyociiy. The following is the con4
Guiding paragraph Of the order:

LESSON FouATn.

boys may run races, but they must be care
full not to fall down and hurt themselves
If they get beaten, they must not get vex-ed
and discouraged. You all know Harry
Clay, Harry often runs races, but he nov
er gets discouraged. l have seen Harry,
myself, run three long, hard races, and get
badly beaten every time without thihk-ing
of giving up; and although they say he is
now a little lame, Yeti dare say he would ran
another race Tomorrow with any body, if
he were asked.

LESSON FIFTH,

When you turn sum-mcr-saults, boys, do
not turn too often, or you MAY break your
nocks, or get crazy, lknew a boy once VIII.
turned SO many sum-met-sauIts, that he did
not know on which side Of his body Ills head
was placed, and many other people wctc as
much confused as himself, The boy's name
was Johnny Cal-hounp and he is alive now;
but the doctors say he IS in an awful crisis.

LESSON SIXTH.

My doarboys, there is one other thing about
which | want to give you very par-tic-n-lar
advice. When you play, be very careful of
your clothes Your clothes cost your parents
much money, and you ought to strive to slyo
them all un-ne-ccs-sa-ry expense. Shall |
tell you all about that careless boy, Bill Mar

LESSON SECOND.

1t is very proper for boy to play. II is for
their hop-pi-ness and their health, When out
of school, they pay play o. Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday,, Thursday, Friday, and
Sat ur-day; but they must not play on Sun
day, except in the back yard, In win-tcr,
boys may play in the spow. They may throw
small, soft snow-bolIs, at each other, and
they may ROLL large balls Of snow on The ground.
1t will not be likely 70 seriously in.iuro
them. Tommy Benton once roI-Icd a big
ball, a great ways, all alone; and it did not
hurt him, nor any body else, ytrJ much.

Be very careful what npugh-ty words you
say, or you may lose many chances to play.

Can the South hesitates

While the Taylorites of the South are holding up their candidate as the embodi- mcnt of all that is safe to the South--the abolitionists say that he is with them, and is opposed to the extension of slavery. Which should we believe, we would ask every slavehold? Let us refer to Gen. Cass, and ask ourselves which of the two to give our suffrages for the Presidencyl While ten. TIavlor and the corrupt crew ,b,t s,rrounds him ors .- ;snrnb as the pillar ofLott--too honest and patriotic 10 answer any question propounded--Gen. Cass the true patriot, the statesman and American never hesitates to give to his fellow countrymen his opinions upon the great exciting Southern question. We take the following from the Union, to show which of the two candidates for the Presi- dcncy are the truest and boldest friend of the South:
 ''We are happy to understand by pri- vate letters that Gen. Cass firmly stands the ground which he has taken. Being applied to formally by a man or two of the Wilmot stamp, he declared unhesitatingly that he adhered to his Nicholson letter, and to the Baltimore platform; and that if elected PRESIDENT HE WOULD VETO THE WILMOT PROVISO."-- Gr We dare General Taylor to make such q declaration!

Alabama DeIcgation.

We clip the following, complimentary notice of our Senators and Representa- lives in Congress, from correspondent of the Flag & Advertiser of last week, and we refer our reader particularly to the notice of our immediate Representative from this District, Maj. Harris.
 "Our Senators, the nomination having been made, are open, active and decided in favor of the Baltimore nominees, and our Representatives are not less efficient. The masterly speech of the Hon. MT. Inge in the early part of the session, cred table to his sound head and noble heart, on the relation of parties to the Mexican war, and his identity of sentiment with Gen. Cass, sufficiently shows the inclina- ton and preference of his mind, from the beginning, in relation to the rival claims of the democratic candidates and to my certain knowledge. his exertions are &C., tive, energetic and unceasing, in favor of the democratic nominees. The same re- mark may be made of Col. Bowdon, Maj. Harris and Gen. Houston. like im- mensely theiclass of characters to which MT. Harris belongs. His calm and tran- quil department, his bland and serene man. ners, indicate to you at once, that you are in the company of scholar, and a gentle man. MT. Harris is admired and loved by all who know him, and think it the duty of sis constituents, to retain him in their services, as long as he is willing to be so retained; for nothing weakens the influence of the State in the national councils more, than continual fuctua- ton and change in her representation Experience ripens statesman, and new man is always weak man.

 Dear '.Spira;'- There is no doubt about it's being true and it's a good one, il can hit on the right way of telling it.
 Aaron was tall, strapping fellow, near seventeen. You never saw a more sus- ceptible youth. Being good-looking, the girls were as easily smitten with him. They used to flock out to the country on Friday evenings, and stay till Monday morning. Talk ol colt There's no such romp as town girl turned loose in the country. She races, she jumps, she climbs the trees, shaking the wild chcr- ries down upon the timorous beau beneath her. Oh, she is the most beautiful, win ming, delightful creature in the world.
 Moses was much younger than his cou- sln. He knew Aaron was taking on about that naughty lass Mary Stelton.--- And Mary was in love with Aaron. Mary, and Troup, and Sue, and Polly, all came out one Friday evening, with Moses sis ter, Angeline, Moses goes of Saturday early, to let Aaron know. Aaron was foi running over to his aunt's.

A few days ago at break oi oay Dc- reayed parent arrived at Cinninnati ingreat haste. Without stopping to breathe, he ran straight off to the door of the princi pie hotel where after knocking with might and main, to the great dctriment of the boaders, he aroused the establishment. He was from Paris, Ky. in pursuit of a daughter, who had fled with her lover. Il was the old story. The young lady had plundged head and ears into love, and the old gentleman had forbidden the match The consequence was that the parties ran away to Cincinnati. The father wa' shown immediately to the room of the scamp, when peeping in, he found the hap py pair snugly snoring in each others arms. Like sensible father, seeing there was no help for him, he walked up the runaways, gave them his blessing, and. n' three started home perfectly contented.

0FIt is amazing strange that the whigs will suppress every thing that does not precisely suit them, but such items as are calculated to play upon the credulity of the masses, they blazon forth in all its beauty. In quoting "give lem little more grape Capt. Bragg" why do they hesitate in reporting all the old Generals words on that occasion? We heard volunteer short time since, who was in hearing distance of the order, give it as follows:
 "A little more grape Capt. Bragg Giue 'cm hell, dam 'em,'
