SENATOR BELLS SPEECH.

Mn. BILL, from Tennessee made a power
ful speech against the ten Regiment bill in
the Senate. A correspondent thus notices his
conclusion:
"Alluding 10 the remarkable fate which
seemed TO hang over Mexico, he introduced
Corlez upon the Stage, with his ianaiical baud
Of plunderers. Having briefly, but powerfully
sketched his perilous march aud battles, his
wonderful victories, his final triumph, over the
Aztec race; by few bold, rapid touches, he
traced the steady descent OF Spanish power.
till the point OF time, when the Plunderer was
plundered-when the Conquerer, who had over
whelmed the Indian, was proslrated by a strong
er than he-when the American Eagle tapped
its wings over the Palace where Corlez had put
his foot on the neck of Monlezuma. He was
not supersticious, but he read lesson in this
history; and as if by sudden thought, he car
ried his audience back TO the sacking OF Car
thage-when amid the horrors of that event,
while Scipio was surveyor & the ruin in progress,
the wife of Asdrube assembled with her chill
dren 10 the summit Of the temple. One by one
she stabbed them TO the heart, threw them from
the height, aud then plunged headong into the
abyss beneath. Scipio wept-not for the wife
aud children of Asdrubal. not for the ruin Of
Carthage,-but he read in the horrible tragedy
the doom of the mothers and children OF Rome.
81 see" said the Speaker in low thrilling
tone, lin the fate of the descendants of Cortez,
the retribution that awaits my own country
men," and then, with most most startling EN-
phasis, he suddenly exclaimed in voice Of
thu nder, "Back! back! in the name of God-
Make the best treaty you can-linger not day!
Flee, flee from that country, as you would
from city doomed to devouring fire."
ssWithout one word more he sal down but
the echoes of that terrible warning rung in IN!
ears for hours afterwards"
This is well said, AMI are the same stnii-
ments SO elegantly expressed BY Thomas Con
WIN, more than year ago, for which he has
been denounced traitor BY men who them
selves only lack the opportunity of selling their
country to do it,

CITY OF EVANS VILE:


CO. We are requested byour City Marshal TO
say, that it is not true as reported in the Com
mercial, of this morning, that Mr.. O'Flannegan
has the hydrophobia; so far from it, Mr.. OF.
was never bitten by dog. He has been sub
ject to fits for long time, and his disease came
upon him yesterday again, which gave rise to
the report that he had the hydrophObia.
Our Marshal also desires US to say that there
is no law in force, authorising the indiscrimin-
ate slaughter OF dogs. When such law is pass
I'd, the Marshal says he will attend to it, either
by himself or agents.

ALABAMA MoLAssEs. The editoro of the Mo.
bile Register has received specimen of mo-
lasses from w. C. White. Esq, Of Monroe
county, Ala, made from cane grown on his
plantation, of quality that compares favora-
bly, with the best Louisiana. The quantity OF
ground planted was four and a half acres, and
the product was $50 gallons molasses, which,
at twenty-five cents, shows the handsome re-
turn ofSl70. This, says the Register, is a
better production than cotton or corn, and it
was attended with less expense Of labor than
either Of these crops. Mr. White is preparing
his grounds for a much more extensive crop this
season. and he has little doubt of entire success
in this new branch OF agricultural labor.

A few years ago things were different. When
the country was new, and places of business
comparatively few, the proprletors might sit
at home and wait for such customers as should
chance to find them; but now when competi-
ton is great, and every means used, and no ex-
ertion spared, 10 make friends and acquantan
ces, and thus secure business, every one who
desires to sustain himself, must invite custo-
mers through the papers. AT this day, every

BREvET RANK.-The character Of Brevet-
rank is but little known out of the army, and
We are frequently enquired of as to its bearing,
and for an explanation of its value. While
reading few days ago, an extended notice of
Bevet Major General Worth, the following met
our eye, which answeres the question 50 often
asked: sin England" says the writer, "lhe
highest rank known in the line Of the army, is
the rank of Colonel; all the superior officers
holding their appointments by brevet. The COM
mission of Colonel is their coveted chiefly for
its emoluments. A Major General, Briga-
der General, even Lieutenant General, is not
paid as such, but lives on the pay of his regi-
ment, if he holds a colonelcy. Here it is diff
ferent; for here the the Bigadier General and
the Major General receive pay equal to his
rank. There are but two full Major Generals
in the army, Scott and Taylor. Gaines is only
brevet Major General, like Worth. Scott and
Taylor are the only ones that receive the
pay of Major General. General Worth
receives only the pay and rations of a
colonel, that being his rank in the line. Any
full Brigadier in the line would out rank and
command Worth. This is an anomalous state
of things. 1t will be seen that brevet rank is
merely honorary, comforting neither pay mol
power. 1t might happen that Worth would
be forced to serve under some very inferior Off
Ger, in consequence of this unsubstantial char
acteT OF brgvet rank.

EARLY RISING Eminent men always rise

we regret to say, indulge in such vice. a
person who performs daily manuel labor, may
require eight hoa9s sleep, part Of which is for
the repose Of wearied limbs, but he, who is
called scholar or agentleman, require only
six hours. He who eats much, acquires hab
