From the Rio Crande.

Harry LOVES ExPEDITioN.-Wc were gratifed,
says the Rio Grandc Sentinel of the 2lst u, TO wit
ness the arrival in this city of that distinguished
lrontiersman, Harry Love, after absence of over
six months, upon exploring expedition up the
Rio Grande Six months ago this adventurous
man left here with small keel boat, manned with
twelve hands with orders from Major Chapman to
ascend the river as fur he could find it practical
bic. We then stated that Harry would push this
enterprise far il could be taken by any other
man, and pleased TO find that we were not
mistaken in our predictions. We are informed by
him that he has assembled the Rio Grande the i'm
mensc distance of 400 miles from its mouth--bc-
ing, as at present computed, 1909 miles above its
present head Of navigation-and again descended
the stream in safety. lie reports the river practi
cable for navigation with steamboats,, after the re-
moval of few distractions, for 1000 miles. Cap
tain Love has brought back with him several spe-
cimens Of coal and mineral ore which be gathered
upon the banks of the river. One act of this dar-
ing man We cannot refrain from noticing: after
having, at great labor and mental trouble, carried
his frail bark far up into the mountains through
which our noble river holds its way, and having
TO distractions which it was beyond the power
of man 10 overcome, and at which his ascent by
water must stop, he planted fast in the solid rock,
a staff, bearing proudly to the winds the stars and
stripes of his country's banner-ft mcmento of
the gallant daring of himself and his brave little
band.

WHAT NEXT IF the following, which VIC take
from the Charleston HercMy, OF the 2lst ult, is not
the true, unadulterated, and real American pro-
tective system, then no judges. Ii is most
sensibly expressed article, and contains, in a nut
shell, the whole doctrine in favor of home industry
We shall soon expect TO South Carolina throw
up her hat, and shout for tariff of protection.
". o. Bulletin.
Encourage your o,cn Mechanics.-Do not send
abroad for help if you have work 10 do when it
be done in your own cighborhood-perhaps at
your next door. Encourage your own honest, in
dustrious, faithful mechanics. They need all the
work they can get BY such course, you keep
money at home, assist the worthy, and have just
good work performed. 1t is the only way to make
town prosperous-to support your schools and
churches. Where there is a disposition to send n
hundred miles for articles that, to say the least,
could be manufactured well at your own door,
there will always be little business done in
the place-the churches will be thinly attended, and
all kinds of labor extremely dull. Wherever me-
chancs are the best employed, prosperity is seen
the social virtues predominant, travelling mounte-
banks and pedars retire in disgust, and a kindly,
brotherly feeling inexperienced, which is the source
of unspeakablc happiness.
'Whatever you have to be done, look around and
if your neighbors cannot do it. If you have a
house TO build or "A shoe TO tap harness to be made
pump TO be bored, pack of cards to be print
cd a well 30 be dug, Just look among your neigh
bors, before you undertake 10 send abroad; and if
you have none around you capable of the task, it
will be time enough TO look elsewhere. Ii is
wrong idea TO suppose nothing is serviceable that
is made at home. We know of many instances
where men have refused to purchase work made
by their neighbors, and sent TO distant city for
the articles they needed, and paid third more for
them, when behold they had been manufactured
and sent away to sell by the very neighbors of
whom they refused to purchase.
"Let il be the motto of ALL will encourage my
neghbors. In turn you will be encouraged
also. mutual feeling of good will and kindness
will spring up in your midst, and prosperity
will be Observable in. every street and in every
dweng.n

We commend 10 the careful perusal Of those
farmers Of the Union who are anNiousy looking
for the realization Of Mr.. Secretary WALKER's
promises Of European market that was to ego
on increasing" from the time when the "po-
iato rot" enabled us TO export TO the amount of
some twenty or thirty millions Of dollars worth
ofgrain, the following paragraph which we take
from the London Examiner Of the 9th ultimo:
"The Emperor of Russia has ordered the forma-
ton Of five six lines of road connecting the south
of Russia with Odessa, in order that the immcnse
quantity Of produced in this fertile and almost
virgin soil may be more readily transported for
port II is expected, says Russia correspondent,
" that in fso year, The markets of Europe oiH Be so
operfooded tcih Russian corn that all competition
,ciH be imposubie"
To obtain a market abroad for grain we de
termined TO close our mills, our mines, and our
furnaces, and set the workmen that had been
employed in making cloth, and mining coal,
and smelling iron ore, to raise food. The Eu-
ropean market has already totally failed, and
Canada is now knocking at our doors, asking
to have the tariff on grain abolished, that she
may aid in bringing down our prices to the level
Of those Of Europe. She now pays twenty per
cent duty in preference to sending her food to
the great grain market" Of the world What
will she be willing to pay, when, the Russian
railroads shall be completed? The answer to
that question will depend upon the movement
Of Congress. If protection be restored, the
mines, and furnaces, and mills will be re-opened,
and then the home demand for food will relieve
us from the necessity of seeking market in
Europe, If they be not opened, we shall have

From The Neto York Courier and Enquirer.
Shtp-buIldinu I'm New York;

We give below an accurate statement of the
number, tonnage, &c, OF the steamships and sail
ing vessels which now in course Of construction
in this harbor. Nearly every yard is fully occu-
pied, and the places of the vessels on the
stocks will be replaced Immediately by others, for
which contracts arc either made or maturing. The
vessels constructing remarkable for their
large tonnage and sharpness the attention Of build
ers being especially directed TO the necessity Of
combining the qualities Of capacity and speed. The
recent changes in navigation laws have awakened
the apprehcnsions OF merchants TO the competition
they are likely TO encounter from British ships,
pccally in the East India trade, and they are now
building ships which 80 far excel their foreign com
pctitors leave question in regard 70 the supe-
riority of the American carrier. The great object
is 10 transport a large cargo in short time with
out exposure to damage; and to accomplish this
result nearly every builder is now taxing his skin
and ingenuity, and OF their success there can be
doubt.
The number Of sea steamers now building is no.
tceabe, not only in a commercial but in politi-
cal point Of view. The success of the California
and Collins steamers passenger ships and Of the
Bremen and Glasgow line as freight ships, has
given wonderful impetus to this branch of ship
building The number Of steamships now in course
of construction is such TO dispel all fears in
gard TO naval supremacy, in case of war between
this country and any other maritime nation. These
ships, too, il should be borne in mind are not the
"slow coaches" usually constructed by Govern
mcnt but must be from the pressure of competi-
tion at least fast the fastest and composed of
material that will tcfdr out rather than rot out.
