A MARKET FOR AMERICAN HoRsEs.-One Of
the effects Of the late war with Mexico has been
to give to her horsemen high opinion Of the
value Of the American breed of horses. The New
Orleans " "Picayune" noticed the fact that several
vessels have lately sailed from there for Vera
Cruz with cargoes of horses, and others are pre-
pairing to 90 forward. The animals shipped are
generally Of the best Kentuckian or Western
breeds, and are selected especially to suit the
tastes of the Mexicans, who are extrayagant ad-
mrers of fine horses.

that you should bear in mind, that on the ~ou,,

hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the cay cI
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one ana all 70
bring for exhibition hereat portions OF your s,ock'
the pToducs Of uour orchards aud Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or prouuc'' you
NAV own is inferior to others that VIII oe mere,
and be thus deferred from bringing them as II is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for You to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, II not better than that of others, ana
that it behooves you gallantly enter the ist OF
competition: If defeated honoraby, and the hish
character of the judges is a guarantee tna' you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
h Z luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
az are properly in your department, we crave per-
missio, to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oiues and dosehters to bring whatever appertains
to tAe;r peculiar departments, as embroidery mousse

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
prety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present adyices'
we are led to believe that the assemblage OF farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion mere or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the .fg'1cutfurdt
I,plsnent makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make Il matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each othersn
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

MEMORIAL.

To ihs Senate and House Of ofRepresentafipes aPfhe
Trn;ied States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th of September, 1850, that they are Informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
tbat they do not expect or desire TO reside the
land thus granted; that il patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaisis further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumei
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 80 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
