The TEA PLANT.--Junius Smith, of South
Carolina, has demonstrated that the tea plant may
be successfully cultivated in the United States.
He states that the tea nuts received by him from
China in May were planted in June, and that on
the 9Th Of the present month of September
many of them were from one to three inches in
height" strong, healthy, beautiful plants from
the original China seed terminating as to
lift themselves above the ground in less than
three months from the time of planting the nuts"
He adds:
Anybody can see these plants, and the seed
in which they were planted, and are now grow
ing. No one can deny the fact that the tea plant
imported from China will make itself agreeable
to this climate, and grow with great luxuriance.
There they stand-thosc imported in lS4s, and
those from Chira planted the first week of June
last, both in strong, healthy, growing condi-
ton Although the plants last imported-all Of
the first quality of the green tea species--were
of equal size when planted in June in one field,
all contiguous, having the same soil, aspect, at
mosphere and cultivation; yet it is curious
and remarkable fact, and difficult to account for
that the growth is exceedingly various have
one plant, and only one, three times the size of
any other in the plantation Both plants and
nuts are congenial to the climate, and make no
doubt will grow and flourish in any latitude and
climate between Florida and the State OF Maine.
So far "a have gone, flatter myself that every
step demonstrates the truth Of the declarations
with which started liz lS48."

From the Elisabeth City On. c. Recorder.

The Texas boundary bill gives the territory
which that State claims us her own to New Mex
leo, and votes appropriation of $40 900 900 as
an indemnity to Texas-the latter having the RICH,
to accept or reject the proposal. II is thought,
however, that she will take the money and give
up portion of her territory to Free-soism.
Thus will the South be compelled to bend the
knee to Northern aggression.
The bill, admitting California MS State, is also
gross outrage upon the South, for she is re-
ceived into the Union with constitution fraudu-
lently gotten unprotected against by large por-
ton of her own people, and which deprives the
Southern man of the right to migrate thther with
his property--ln other words, approprating ter
ritory acquired by the common blood and treasure
of the whole Union to the Northern portion Of
that Union, from which the South are excluded
California never passed through territorial state,
is usual--but fraudulently adopted n constt,l-
ton which contained, virtually, the Wilmot Pro-
viso--and Congress, in receiving her with that
constitution, practically adopted the Wilmot Pro-
viso Thus have the Southern people been cut
off from equal participation in the enjoyment
OF our vast territorial acquisitions on the Pacific,
and been decreed TO occupy position Of inferior
ity in the Union. What effect these things will
produce at the South we are unable to divine, but,
whether approved dsapproyed, Of one thing
we are satisfied that the North will be emboldened
to further aggressions, and exhibit little toler-
ence as heretofore. Those Southern men who
expect to purchase peace by submission, may pre-
pare their necks for additional yokes whereas,
if a different policy had been pursued, our
equality might have been nantaned--a stop put
to Northern oppression, and the Union pre-
served in its original purity.

despatched to Norfolk, for the immediatehtting

aTheir destination is said to be the West In

another Cuban Expedition is on foot, and others
that Spain has assumed a tone towards the
United States, which cannot for moment be
tolerated. One story is that demands having
been made by the American Minister at Madrid,

lease of American citizens resident in Cuba, who
had been imprisoned and ruined, without any
evidence of participation in the Lopez INVASION
that the Spanish government bad refused

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages In no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
ence of fever Mt Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention ut the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back So that the Company are
now aDe 10 give the puDilC Tie ASSURANCE tidt the
voyage through from New York to San Fran

The connection between the two lines will be

The large size, well known speed, and superior

WALKING THE Unsatisfactory afternoon
the feat of walking the wire again took place OH
the point The vicinity of the lower end of
Broadway was the scene of great disorder and
disgraceful proceedings. The feat was adver-
tised to come off at three o'clock, but it did not
take place till after five, thus giving the tavern
keepers in the neighborhood all the advantages
for which the affair was, no doubt, gotten up
We consider this concern nothing more nor less
than n second edition Of the striped pig" for
the benefit of tavern keepers, who no doubt
divide the 'spoils" with the performer Of this
humbug. Thousands Of people were congrega-
ted on the spot, composed of all colors, ages,
sizes, sexes and conditions. Such u motley
group was never seen before, and conspicuous
in the crowd were number OF the b'hoys, whose
,only delights in raising row. Accordingly
several knock down" and drag out" affairs
came off, in which the police were compelled to
interfere, and after considerable difficulty sue
ceeded in quoting the belgerent spirits. We
hope our worthy Mayor will interfere, and put n
stop to the cause of these disgraceful proceed
ings, and instead of granting permit to this
man to walk the wire, he will give him leave to
walk Spanish to the calaboose," or take "leg
bail" to some otherparts. These exhibitions are
a great annoyance to the respectable portion OF
tn part of the city, who EXPIRE their strongest
opposition to the whole affair, keeping, as it
does, their tire neighbortood in the great st
state Of excitement, and making it the scene of
drunkenness and blackguardism discreditablc TO
