City Tfadc.-Last Saturday was the live
liest day our business men have had for
long while, and we doubtvery much wheth-
or any place in the State, first class cities
excepted, can exhibit better account OF
that day. The fair inducements which are
offered to the citizens of the surrounding
country by our Merchants, Grocers and Me-
chanics, are beginning to attract the custom
of the country and largely add to the busi-
ness of the city.

PRoGREss OF PuBtIc 0PISIoN.-Mr. DIM
MOCK has sold out his interest in the Holmes
Free Press, to r. s. McEwEN, who will edit
it hereafter. or course, the new editor feels
indignant at the attacks which WELLER,
DUNBAR & Co., are making upon his prede-

what he says of DIMMocK, and then replies
as follows. 1t is evident that the Democra-
cy are fast beginning to find each other out,
and when this is done, their opinions do not
vary so much from the rest ofthe community,
as some would suppose:

RUMoREn IsvEErIoN.- letter from Bal

says that "young man named Force has
been residing partly in this city and partly in
Washington for some months past, He ist
originally from St. Louis, but more recently
from Texas. | learn, upon what may be
deemed coed authority, that he is about to
become distinguished as a mechanical genius.
He Is said to have invented and patented a
new motive power which bids fair to super
sede both steam and water. 1t stated that
model Of che machine is already in exist
ence, and that it has been patented with an
injunction of secrecy for certain time. So
cautious has he been to avoid infringement;
that he had one part of the machinery, ne-
cessary to the completion Of his engine,made
In New Orleans, another part in Baltimore,
another in Philadelphia, and another in Now
York. The seperate parts thus constructed
were, in due time, collectedin in Baltimore and
put together by the inventor himself in
room into which no person has been permit
ted to enter. Itis said to bring the atmos-
phere into use as new and important agent'
amounting almost to independent self-action,
that this aew momentum can be SO increased
as to propel the largest ocean steamers or
adapted to the delicate movements of
watch. The inventor is about to leave for
Europe, to have it patented there, and until
he returns the principle ofthe invention will
not be made public here. The corresPon-
dent referred to, says that "if the invention
proves to be what is claimed for it, the world
up to this age has never seen its equal."'

FROM THE Rio GRANDE,-!The American
Flag, published at Brownsville, describes the
present condition Of the frontier as lamenta-
BILE in the extreme, being ravagod by Indi-
ans, plundered by Mexican robbers. and as a
consequence of this ate OF affairs, public
feeling has rendered the laws inoperative:
and the Government force on the frontier
has been so parayzed by the parsimony OF
Congress as to be entirely useless for any
purpose of defence.
Two compan cs have been formed in
Br wnsville, under command Of Capts- Dun
lap and Mason, for the defence of that vicin-
ity against threatened deprrdations by the
Mexicans.
Two curious suits of armor were recently
discovered in possession Of u Mexican whc
was arrested on suspicion of being robbel
and murderer. These armors are made in
the shape of corsets, composed Of an outer
and inner coat of cowhide, filled with wool
about an inch and quarter in thickness, ant
neately and elaborately stitched through
with cowhide thongs, Thy are in two parts
and tie closely, back and from, with leather
strings. When worn they form complete
panoply for the body, and are impervious tc
pistol shot, il not to aride. -t..

GENERAL RosAs.-A London paper thus
notices the reception in England ofthis Gen.
eral:
General r lsas, who was so courteously
received by our official authorities on bis
landing, the other day, at Plymouth, and who
is so cordially dctcsted by every body who
knows his blood stained history, will have
cause to remember his coming to this ccun-
try, ifonly ON account of the hearty abuse
lavshed upon him. Besides the Times,
most of the Influential journals have ex-
pressed themselves as the organs of honest
opinion should do concerning the remorse-
less acts of which this deposed despot has
b n guilty, and even the aristocratic classes
will be somewhat shy ofcountenancing such
a man, and especially soifit be true, as was
stated the Other cvcning by the Earl of
MaImrsberry, that R1sas, so fur from being
the rich man he was represented, is extreme
y poor"

very rapid progress which is now taking
place in this city and county. Evidences of
this are almost an every day occurrence.

THE FIRST or JUNE.--This Is an impor-
tsnt day for the Democracy and We would
not be at all disappointed if we have to re-
cord two "izzles"--one at the Baltimore
Convention, the other upon our Canals
This, it must be remembered, is the day, du-
ring which all the railroad bridges in our
State over the Canals, was to come down,
either voluntarily or involuntarily. This
was the order Of the Board of Public Works,
but we are of the opinion that the Board
will "come down" Let them hereafter con-
fine themselves to abating those bridges
which seriously interfere with the navigation
Of our canals, il any such there should be,
and instead Of being compelled to depend up
on the SIdtesman and its copyists fora very
lame defence, they will be sustained by the
people of all parties. So much for the
Board. t e
In regard to the Baltimore Convention,
we know of no man, whom they can nomi-
nate, that can the present year successfully
compete with the Wing candidate. We
take it for granted that the great body of
Wings will fight side by side and shoulder to
shoulder in the coming contest and in this
event the party can win the field. 1t prob
able that we will have some intelligence OF
the preliminary action of the Convention
before we go to press, A nomination will
hardly be made to-day.

SONG OF TIE SEA.

BY FANNY N. RAYmoNn.
Underneath the dark blue sea,
Lieth many mystery;
Many an enforced guest;
For an unsought, restless rest;
Ever staying,
Ever swayng,
With the wind and Waya'd sea-
Many an hidden mystery,
Lurks beneath the boundless SEA.
Underneath the dark blue sea,
Saleth many an agony;
Laden with bright gems and gold,
And young eyes as bright aud cold;
Liieless, moveless,
soulless, loveless--
Warm love freezes in the sea,
Many priceless argosy,
Sails beneath the stormy sea,
Underneath the dark blue ssa,
Groweih many a branching tree;
CorsIred, and salt weed. pale,
And polyp their long arms trail
Glossy, cleaning,
Darkly, streaming,
Through the deep and sunless sea,
Many an unearihly tree,
Grows beneath the sunless sea.
Underneath the dark blue sea,
Maidens false and iar their be;
Cold their cheeks empearled glenn,
Cold their wild eyes emerald beam,
And their tresses,
Golden meshes,
Draw whole fleets below the sea;
Maidens false and fair there be,
ndernealh the treachcrons sea.
Underneath tie dark blue SEA,
Syren song rings LOUDLY;
IT the wave-worn mariner,
Chance that fatal song TO heal.
Iialf love-warned,
Half spell-charmed,
In The ronlh sea leapeth he
Then loud song rings cruelty,
Underneath the lauinnring sea.
Underneath the dark blue sea.
Nought lives like 10 such as we;
Coils the wondrous snake slow weavss-
Raging waves the great whale heayes--
Dark forms dreaFy,
Spirits, eerie,
Dwell benea'h h the cold deep sea;
Many hidden mystery,
Turks beneath the bouudless sea
