THE GIRLS OF BATESYILLE.

s The Batesyillc Eagle, Arkansas. in speaking
of the fair lately given in that place for the
benefit of the NJ f. Church, uses the following
language in reference to the young ladies Of
that place: "As to our girls, we have sonic
thing under legion, most of whom have more
purity in their nature, more music in their soul
more magic in their step, more grace in their
mein, more woman in their form, moro flowers
in their fancy, more ease in their manners,
more influence in their acts and more of every
thing comely in their policy, than any circle
within the sphere of ofouracquaintance. The mar
ried ladies need not suppose themselves over
looked, for all must know that it takes genuine
mothers, to raise such daughters"

difficulty in keeping their ground clear of
fallen trees, Mr.. H- Showed me a
white oak on his plantation near this,
that would measure 8 feet in diameter at
its base, Iobseryed that it was dead,
as were also many others in the vicinity
that were nearly as large. Upon en-
quiring the cause, he told me they had
been killed Bya hailstorm year or two
ago. So it seems they have hail in this
country in proportion to the size of the
trees. The soil here is rich, SO much SO
that the richest bottom growth IS not un-
frequently met with on the summit of the
highest hills. The farms generally lie
very conveniently for the purposes of
tillage, but it Is in some of the lower
counties in the prairies, that the most
beautiful farms are to be seen. Crops
look badly and are quite backwmd.-
Farmers are complaining great deal
about the lice eating up the cotton, ard
some say the crop will be cut short. One
of the most distinctive features of this
country, perhaps, is the vast quantity Of
sea-shells that lie scattered all over the
country, in the prairies, on the hill sides,
and in the beds of water courses. How
these shells ever found their way into
this back country, / shall not at preseut
undertake to explain. The only hypo-
thesis, however, that is at all satisfactory
in relation to them, is, that at some pc
Rod of the world, this whole country
must have been under the dominion of
Neptune, and when the sea reccded, the
shells remained. There are likewise
many petrifactions of various shapes to
be found here The water is limestone,
and in the summer season is quite scarce,
as most of the streams dry up entirely,
The country is settled UP by an indus
trious and thrifty population, consider
able portion of which are South Caroli-
mans. In short, this is a fine country in
an agricultural point Of view, and one
highly favored by nature, but cursed
with wretched system of Legislation, a
sketch of which will give you in my
next. III haste, yours, &C., hsI

NEW YoRK. June 2G

We have dates here from San Jose to
the 30th of April, from which we learn
that over seven thousand Mexicans have
left lower California for the mines.
The Americans who desire engaging i'm
mining on the Gila riuer, have been pre-
vented by the disparity of their numbers
and the constant fear of enroachments up
on them by the Mexicans.
Fifteen thousand stand of English mus
kets have been sent to the mouth of the
Gila river from Mazatlan. A rumor is
prevailing, which has caused much ex-
element to the effect, that the Mexican
government intend disputing and contest
ing the decision and action Of our Ameri-
can Commissioners in relation to the boun-
Diary.
The Mexicans profess to claim all the
rich mines OF Gila and its tributaries.

FouRTH OF JULY.

AT the hour appointed respectable number
of citizens (inciuding goodly number of the
fairer part Of crcation) had assembled in the
and the Declaration of independence read by
j. w. NoRRfs, Jr, after which Mr.. EAsLEY was
introduced to the audience, which he enter
tanned with an Grafton of so minutes, delivered
in style highly creditablc to the Orator.
AS VIC have not room to report the speech
entire, we propose to give to our readers the
substance of the passing tribute paid Mr. Polk,
with which VIC have been kindly furnished by
the author.
"Slr. Polk, that great man whose wisdom
has done SO much for the glory, prosperity and
power of our country. WHO, having taught
the nations of Europe TO respect our character,
court our favor, and fear our resentment, and
having added to the area of freedom the inn
mensc regions Of New Mexico and California,
rich in exhaustless mines of silver and gold, in
a salubrious climate and cxuberant soil and
girdlcd by rivers and seas in whose capacious
harbors the navies of nations may ride in safe
ty, has died in the meridian Of his usefulness
lin the vigor of manhood, before the prciu-
dices of party had sufficiently subsidized to do
justice to his character, or to acknowledge the
greatness and glory of his achievements. 1t
was mournful hom for our country when
Polk departed, for none greater or nobler has
he left behind. Combining the wisdom and
moderation of Washington and Jefferson with
the daring enterprise oil jackson, he directed
the couusels of Senates and planned the victo.
ries Of armies: and though he sat at the helm
in stormy time, when the ship was blown
about by the winds of discord and tossed on
the waves OF faction, he brought her safely into
port, laden with a cargo of countless wealth
No long list of noble ancestors, by shedding q
fictitious lustrc around his birth, opened the
road to his elevation; like Marius, his great
d-cds were his ancestors, and the truth of his
heart the evidence of his nobility. BY the
force Of native genius he arose from o6scurity
to power, and side by side with the greatest of
the great, has inscribed his name on the tablets
of fame. It matters not that envy sought to
mangle, or arnhities, 20 destroy him, fcs lcng
after his petty enemies shall have been lost
and forgotten in the dimness of the gone by
time-long after the names of whig and dem
ocrat shall have ceased to be party distinctions,
his memory shall be cherished by millions of
freemen, the golden palaces of California shall
stand the imperishable monuments of his pa
triotism while the winds that shall blow over
the blue depths of the Pacific, waiting the ma
vies of commerce to her shores, shall tell of
his fame"

tunate that we should have an Envoy
here for the first time just to offend and
disapoint the Romans. When all the
other ambassadors are at Gaeta. ours is
in Rome, as if by his presence to discoun-
tcnance the Republican Government,
which he does not recognize.--Mr. Cass
it seems, is limited not to recognize the
Government till it is sure it can be sus-
tained."

PoNToToC, MISS, June 10Th, 1S49.
-MesSrs. Editors Before leaving "thc
old South State" promised to write you,
and am now seated to jot down few of
my observations in this quarter, as being
more worthy of note than any thing
saw in other States through which have
travelled You perceive by my locality
at this time that have not progressed
in my journey according to expectation
when / left home. But the reason,
hol,i, is very substantial one: that terri
bic scourge of the human race, the chol-
a,saa, aa,sa is making sad havoc of human life all
along the valley of the Mississippi River
and in Texas. and one has but poor secu-
~ Geo life ~~l-~ tsN.-"i. tl,rougiI tho la
fected region. And indeed the inland
towns are not free from an occasional
case; but these arc generally persons who
have been infected with the contagion
elsewhere, and who get home only to die,
or who die o.. the road home from the
markets, as New Orleans, Memphis, &c.
1t really touches the heart to hear the
sad fate Of the poor waggoners, who have
fallen victims On siie road side to this
direful pestilence, with no kind hand near
to do the offices of affections in the last
melancholy scene of life, or drop friend
ly tear upon the cold sod which covers a
husband or a father. Yet notwithstand-
ing the fate of many who have gone be-
fore them, YOU see the roads still Piled
with Wagons, laden with cotton, bound
for market. I was in days ride OF
Memphis the other day, and in comiag
back almost every waggoner 1 met in
quired for Wagon ahead, anxious, no
doubt, to oyertake his -waggoner
and get company; SO that if they should
take the cholera. they would not at least
die alone.
Without grave, unknelled, uncofinod and
unknown"
But although there are few bona tfde
cases Of Asiatic cholera originating in the
inland country. yet there is an epidemic
now pre- talent here which has some OF
Che symptoms of cholera. 1t is diar-
rhoea of an infiammatory character, and
in many cases proves fatal. 1t has Great
ed something of panic mere, and some
persons have left the town and gone %
the country in consequence. Physicians
say that the same causes which produce
this disease, would produce cholera, if
powerful enough. From this, take it,
that this disease is nothing less than
cholera in q modified form. Ihaye never
known anything SO general, almost every
individual being more or less affected

LAST ILLNESS OF MIR. POLK.

We learn from the Nashville True Wing,
that Mr.. Polk's disease, of which he fingered
about two weeks, was of q chronic nature,
having been troubled with it more or less for
more than 81 years, probably aggravated by
the cholera epidemic which had been raging in
that city sometime previous to his arrival
He bore his suffering with forrtude and resig.

to the moment of his dissolution. At period
when his physicians considered his case very
critical; he said he felt satisfied, that the end
Of his earthly career, was fast approaching;
that Inc wished to send some word to his be.
loved mother whom he understood was 60 un-
well, that she might not be able to come to see
him; he spoke paost affectionately Of her and
other members of his family; he requested q
friend to tell his mother, that, should they not
be permitted to meet on Garth again, he had an
abiding hope, through Divine mercy, they
would meet hereafter.
"Early in his sickness, we understand, he
connected himself with the Methodist Episco.
pal Church. A fuperal sermon was delivered
by thc Rev. j. 3. McFcrrin, of that church, and
his remains followed to their resting place by

THE ssTHMUs RAILROAD.

IA -
The New York Journal of Commerce
calls attention to the proposed Isthmus
Railroad route to the Pacific, and to the
surveys recently made. Results of sur
vey, thus far, show the following unex-
pected facilities for railroad, viz
Whole length from sea to sea not
exceeding 40 m.
Summit level, under 800 It.
Curvatures, withno radius less
than 1900 #.
Grade for about 90 miles, from
Atlantic to Chagres river 20.
where exceeding (per mile) IL it.
From Chagres river to summit
level, about 10 miles, no
where exceeding per mile 90 It.,
From summit level, for about 8
miles, nowhere exceeding per
mile 80 1t.
And thence descending about
seven miles to the Pacific.
Materials of stone and timber abundant,
and of good quality, and an excellent har-
Dor at Navy Bay, six miles distant from
Chagres. ~
The cost of the road will be much less
than was anticipated. A million dollars,
it is owned, will undoubtedly put it in
operation from Panama to the navigable
waters of Chagres river. This being done,
the company viii come at once into the
receipt of large revenue, and can take
their own time, within six years, to con-
struct the section from the point where
the road crosses Cbagres river to Navy
Bay, the intended terminus on the Allan
tic side. The excellence of Navy Bay as
q harbor, and also of Panama harbor, on
the Pacific side, is shownin letter pub
lishSd from Lieut.. Porter of the u. s.
navy, who has personally examined both.
The Journal says: a
At the. very outset the gentlemen who
undertook this matter deposited large
sum Of money as a pledge for the fulfil
ment of the undertaking. Then they sent
out large and efficient corps of engi-
neers, to make an accurate survey of the
whole line. This object has been accom-
pished, and it is asccrtained that the
route is more favorable than any one had
dared to hope. No grade VIII exceed
so feet to the mile, while for much the
greater distance (say SO miles out of 46)
no grade will exceed 90 feet to the mile.
Some of the grades on the Boston and
Albany Railroad are 80 feet.
The grantees proposes now to distri-
butte a portion of the stock amoiig: the
public, after reserving to themselves $50,
900 and an interest in the lands as a con-
sideration for the value of the grant, their
risks and services, DC. For this purpose
