The passage of the California and Utah BUS

pressing of all difficulties
The course which Texas is disposed 10 carry
out, will not meet with the support of the South,
Volunteers may go to her aid, but we doubt wheth-

of thu United States from territory acquired by
conquest and purchase. But it will be time enough
to discuss this subject if Congress should adjourn
without settling it.
It will be seen. we have doubt, when the
vote on the Texas Boundary Bill reaches US, that

From Merico-A letter in the NewYork Tr-

cholera has entirely disappeared from the CITY, after
having swept off upward of fifteen thousand Of the
inhabitants.
Congress met on the 9Th, but had transacted no
important business. The Minister of Finance had
made his report He found in the treasury when
he entered only 10000, and had raised by loans, at
two per cent. per month, 100000. The Minister
suggests plans for raising revenue.
The letter writer thinks that strong opposition
will be made to the ratification of the Tehuantepec
treaty, because of the clause providing for the pro-
lection of the company by United States military
force, in of need. The Mexicans are naturally
jealous of such provlso.

at anchor in the Tagus on the 9th August. Size
had been out nineteen days from Palermo, when
she entered Lisbon on the 9Th, ignorant of Mr..
Clays having taken his passports, and caused some
excitement by neglecting to salute the Portuguese
flag until three o'clock on the Sth, when Captain
Pauldng had called upon the Port Admiral to ex-
plain the delay solely attributable to the danger
Gus illness of one OF his men, and to tue fear that
the discharge Of the guns might cause his death.
The St Lawrence was to leave Lisbon in a few
days and is likely to call again at Southampton,
where her officers made themselves very popular
last year.

The Mexican Congress is in session, and the Min

How to make a Fortune.

Take earnestly hold of life, as capaci-
ta,ed for, and destined to high and no
ole purpose. Study close Y the mind 5
bent for labor or profession. Adopt ii
early, and pursue il steadily, never look
ing back 10 the turned furrow, but forward
to the new ground that ever remains to
be broken Means and ways are a5und-
ant to every mans success, if will and ac-
ton are rightly adapted TO them. Our
rich men,and our great men, have carved
their paths to fortune and fame by this
eternal principle-a principle that cannot
fail to reward It's votary if it be resolutcly
perused. To sigh or repine over lack Of
inheritance is unmanly. Every man
should strive to be a Greater instead of an
inherilor. He should bequeath rather
than borrow. The human race, in this
respect, want dignity and discipline. 1t
prefers TO WELD the rusted sword of valo-
rous forefa,hers, 10 forging its own wea-
pons. This is mean and igno5e spirit.
Let every man be conscious Of the God
in him, and the providence over him. and
fight his own battle NTH his own good
lance. Let him feel that it is better to
earn a crust. Than TO inherit Golfers OF
gold This spiri, of nobility, once lear>
ned, and every man will discover within
himself, under God, the elements and ca
pacilies of wealth He will be rich, in~
estimablv rich in self-resources, and can
lift his face proudly TO meet the noblest
among men.-N. Y. Sun.
