Crops AND HEALTH IN New MExIoo.-The
crops all over new Mexico are magnifcent.-
Probably there never was as much wheat. corn
and beans, raised in the territory as there
will be this season. All the farmers are nov
busy cutting their grain. and they are reioic.
ing in glorious harvest. This season an
pears to have changed from former ones. And
probably as much rain has fallen as usually
falls in the States in the same length of time.
To form an idea of the health Of this country
let me tell you there is but one drug store in
the whole of New Mexico, containing pop.
ulation of over $4,000 and the proprietor Of
that one has been compelled to purchase ero
ceries, so that he may have something in his
store that he will sell. The New Mexican.

THE GREAT Polar OcEAN.-At the late meet
ing of the London Geographical Society, Lieut..
Osborne, a member Of the British Arctic ex-
petitions, argued at some lenght in favor Of
the support of the existence of great Polar
Ocean. He said that in Wellington channel,
he had observed immense numbers of whales
running out from under the ice, as proof that
they had been to water and come to water
He further said that there were almost con-
slant flights Of ducks and geese, from the
northward. another proof of water in that di.
rection, since these birds found their food only
in such water He added that it was his de.
liberate opinion, from observations made on
the spot, that whales passed up Wellington
channel into a northern sea. In reference to
the abundance Of animal life, in the latitude
OF this supposed Polar sea, he remarked that
while on the south side Of Lancaster Sound he
never saw game enough to keep his dog; Mel
vile Islaud, one hundred and fifty miles to the
northward, abounded in deer and Musk oxen.
1t was clear, he continued that animal life did
not depend on latitude, but increased if any
thing, after passing the seventh degree. More.

the southwark coming from the Atlantic, in
Barrow's straits it made for the northward.
which could be explained only on the hypo,h.
esis of a sea in that direction All this seems
to us proof on proof of great Polar Ocean.

anything else-never can be and still choose
not to vote for either Scott or Pierce.
You state that "there is great doubt" as to
whether Tennessee will go for Scott. | assure
you she will not. If the democrats vote for
Pierce and King, as have no donbt they will,
they will carry the State, because the wings
will not vote for Scott ! mean by this that he
will not get the whig vote. The majority how
ever. against Scott will not be SO great as ten
thousand, though it probably. would have been
had not the New Boston affair been brought
to light.
You would do well, as government officer
to post up your books, settle your accounts land
prepare to give up your Office. The democrats
are like the wings have got to be-fghting on
ly for the spoils; and, as matter of course,
they have one hundred expec tants for every
Office they have to bestow You must, there
fore. walk the plank SO soon as Pierce is inaug-

given you, both as it respects this State and
the Union. Very respectfully DC,
