NetD System Of Ocean Steamships -The New
York Herald directs the attention Of ship.owners to
the necessity of adopting the steam propeller in
their various emigrant ships. As far as American
packet ships are now concerned, as sailing vessels
they cannot be excelled, Especially those recently
constructed, either IN speed or beauty of construc.
ton. The fame of American ships for extraordi-
nary speed is still not only undminished, but in
creased, by every new addition; butnotwithstand-
ing this, there must be at all times great uncer-
tainty attending their arrival and departure owing
to their entire dependence on the elements This
only be obviated by substituting steam in place
Of the present propelling power. BY the general
adoption of steam, great loss of time, and conse
quenty, money also, will be saved, and the health
and general comfort of the passengers materially
improved.

Finances Of MeEico.-The financial affairs of
Mexico fast approaching crisis, The govern
ment has been continued since the late war upon
the resources derived from the Mexican indemnity.
This source of revenue will soon be exhausted, the
more especially as loans are constantly negotiating
in advance of the payment of the indemnify. The
report Of the Finance Committee, which has been
adopted by Congress, authorizes Payne, the Min
lister OF the Treasury to negotiate loan Of $1,000 600
on the remainder OF the American indemnify,
and the previous loan of 100000 was ratified.
Thus the treasury is to be repleniShed for month
longer. There still remain 5000, 900, and what is
to be done when that is exhausted is a serious
question.

fair that they should receive some compensation
Il is proposed as the utimatum by the Second Mimi
cpaly, that the original parties to the act of
promise shall receive third, the City and Second
Municipality eschone third. This meets the views
of all parties, and an act drawn in conformity with
these views has been waiting the signature of the

to this important subject. The property is worth
some $1,000 600, and the moment the act is signed,

Important EHteTprjSe.-A meeting was held CD
the 10th ult. at Villa Rica, in Georgia, to take
into consideration the subject of building plank
road west from Atlanta to Villn Rca. The meet
ing not only determined to build the road to that
point, but to extend it west TO the Alabama line, on
route to connect with Jacksonville and Talladega,
in this State. Stock TO the amount of Sll 800 was
subscribed on the spot, and committees were ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions on the entire line
The road will be built, and will thus become an
important branch or feeder of the great Central
Plankroad from Montgomery and Wetumpka to the
Tennessee river.

We have thought if the people OF the South
could be made fully aware Of the deep feeling of
disappointment and chagrin exhibited by the
Northern fanatics, when they were informed of the
passage of this important measure, it would go far
to reconcile them to the whole system of measures
adopted by Congress- With this view, we invite
attention to the comments of the Boston Zion's
Herald on this law. This paper represents the
feeling of a very numerous class of the people of
New England-the religious and political aboli-
tionists. 1t has heretofore been considered reli-
gous paper of good character but in this article it
takes very decided ground against the doctrines of
our Saviour and of St. Paul, and we fear it will
lose its standing:
What is the duty of Christian citizens respecting such
Jaw we explicitly say that such question put by
such citizen, would excite surprise and pity Is
there God fearing the North who would hesitate
nay The Qusker has refused to bear and to pay

that from the outset this statute will be found

curses OF free and Christian people. So shall it,

it has been attempted to make it navigable for

made only one effort to ascend the stream now of
historical notoriety, which resulted in failure At
