HOW DOCTORS DISAGREE

"We cause for despair in the confusion, which
reIgns this moment in the councils of the Democratic
party in the South 1t is rather sign that the power
of the party is unbroken than that there is any deep

IF rightly read the signs of the times there has sci

equal distribution is constitutional, right and
proper. Again: the Democracy have long since
taken ground against general system OF inter-
nal improvement by the federal governments
and would doubtless regard such distribution
of the public domain among the States, as is now
proposed, for purposes of internal Improvement,
as coming in conflict with the principles they
have heretofore protested on this subject. And
yet we find that whenever an application is made
to Congress by any State for donation of the
public lands lyingwithin its limits for purposes Of
internal improvement, this same anti-internal
improvement Democracy has no scruples of con-
stitutionality or expediency, but unhesitatingly
grants everything that is asked. A genera
system of internal improvement, like general
system of distribution is unconstitutional and
unjust in their eyes, but partial system-a sys-
tenn which squanders millions in building up
works of internal improvement in the new
States and bestows not dollar upon the old, is
liable to no conceivable objection, constitutional
or moral.
Such is the bifold inconsistency in which the
occupants of the Baltimore platform Evolve
themselves when they vote away to some three
or four States of this Union, that which is the
joint property of all.

. LATER FROM MEXICO

Inc New Orleans Picayuno has received By
the steamship Yacht, Brownsville papers to the
l4th ult. Another attack on NIatamoros is fear
ed. The Picayune has learned privately that
at the time the Yacht left, Carvaial had gone
|up the river with the intention of making nh
attack on Camargo He had not vet received
the reinforcements which he had been EXPECT
ing
Letters have been received Mt Brownsville
from the city of Mexico to the 23rd January,
which state that the Mexican Congress had pos
itively refused to recognize General Avalos's re-
duction of the tariff, and have instructed the
Collector at Matamoros to collect the surplus
due.
A singular and daring robbery was committe
at brownsville on the night of the 10th of Feb
foary. The Z. S. garrison was entered and a
large number OF twelve pound balls taken there
from by some person or persons unknown. In
consequence of the small number of men now
at the post, the guard at the gate is removed at
night to the magazine, some distance off, md
there was, therefore, no impeachment to the EN-
trance OF any person. either by climbing the
fence or from the river in boat Some per-
sons assert they were taken over into Mat
amoros during the night, and point out a place
on the opposite bank of the river where the
footsteps of a large number of men or mules
can be plainly seen. Others say that however
this may be, they have no doubt that Gen. Ava
los will receive the benefit of them. Some wag
stuck up paper on the corners of the streets
calling upon the citizens to appoint patrol for
the better protection Of the United States pro-
perty now i'll Fort Brown.
Ia will
coming more definite, and many confidently as
sert that he will commence the campaign in n
very short time, with much larger and better
appointed force than before. A singular search
ty OF filibusters about the streets of Brownsville
was apparent at last dates, and the emigration
OF families from Matam oros to this side has in
creased enormously. SO great has this become
recently, that the authorities on the other side
evidently fear that the city will become depop-
ulated.
An article in the Bandera Mericana enlea-
vors to reassure the frightened inhabitants of
Matamoros, by stating that Gen. Avalos was
about constructing Notifications outside of the
town, Tor the purpose of meeting the expected
illlbusters. 1t is said Cainargo will doubtless
be tho first point of attack.
The mine of Vallecllo in the State of New
Leon, which was abandoned by the Spaniaitls in
1920, has been re-opened and is now being
worked with great success. The water has all
been pumped out by means of steam engine,
and the mine put i'll good order again. 1t yields
silver In abundance, and small quantity of
mercury. The yield per day reaches 81, 900,
and the expenses amount to only $50.
The Government has directed the Mazatlan
custom house to pay to the State of Durango
the sum OF $4,000 per month, to aid in sup
pressing the revolt of Indians who have ravaged
that section of country so thoroughly during the
last two years.

Our Paper.

We have concluded to issue this number of
the "Star' at the solicitation of many friends,
and shall on Tuesday commence the publica-
tion of the paper. During the past week we
have been very much encouraged in our new
undertaking, but to make it permanent We will
need assistance from subscribers and adyer-
tisers, as We have been at considerable ex-
pense in getting out the paper already.
The cause of the delay is the unfit condi-
tion of our press, which has been out of use
for some time and requires to be put in run
ming order. We shall, however, have it plac-
ed in order by Tuesday. Our subscribers,
who received the former number will find
some of the same reading matter of that pa
per reprinted in this our first regular num-
Der.

WASHINGTON:
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1e, 1852.
sALUTATORY.

To-day the +" Daily Evening Star" appears,
on the horizon of the newspaper world, and
greetsr with warm and kindly beam, a metro
politan pablic. Whether it shall be fixed or
a wandering "Star," depends upon the pa
tronage which it will attract. Though the
9. Sum- of neighboring city blazes in the
same armament, our little "Star" will not
pale even in its luminous presence if it be en-
couraged to shine.
We have embarked in this enterprise with
. hearty goodwill, and with a well-founded
hope of meriting and securing public favor.
If energy, industry, and perseverance will en-
sure the success of our undertaking, then we
shall be successful. But we need the -ope-
ration of our friends: we need the 'material
add of subscribers and advertisers. To those
friends we make our appeal.
Let it not be said hereafter, as it has been
too often remarked heretofore, that there is
not public spirit enough at the National Me-
tropolis, among population Of upwards of
forty thousand, to maintain a neutral daily
newspaper. Let this reproach be biotted out
of our history forever.
There is no city in the whole Union where
paper such as We propose to publish is more
needed than here, where magnificent city is
stretching out before US, daily expanding it's
giant proportions-here, where people gather
from every quarter of the globe-here, where
the councils of the nation assemble, and where
the chief departments of the Government are
located-here, where, in the course of time, is
destined to be the most powerful and brilliant
capital in the world.
Contemplating the high and glorious destiny
which lies before us, We should lend a gen.
erous encouragement to any undertaking
which tends to advance US towards it. The
Press-a free, unshackcd press-is the great
lever in the progress of cities as we'll as of ma
tions. 1t infuses new life into everything
around it. 1t is the pioneer of civilization
and liberty; and it points the way to the full
flment of destiny. Let US encourage it, and
Ivy doing so, stimulate the spirit of improve
ment, and advance our city yet more rapidly
in its career of prosperity and grandeur.

GLEAsoN's PICTORIAL DRAw1sc-Room CON-

GLEAsON'S PICTORIAL DRAWING-RoOM CON-
PANIoN-published in Boston, Mass. will
commence, on the first of January, 1853, a
new volume being Volume w of this elegant
illumined journal. It will appear with new
type, new heading, and splendidly improved
in every department., besides which the price
is to be greatly reduced. The publisher is re-
solved to commence the new year with Cir
culation Of one hundred thousand, and,- there
fore, offers the most liberal inducements to
clubs. Realizing the spirit of the age, the
great improvement in art, and the constantly
increasing intelligence of the people, the
publisher, with this change of prices, will
vastly Improve his already splendidly illustra-
ted journal Especially will great improve
ment be manifested in the engraving depart
ment, as well as the literary character of the
paper, 50 that the Pictorial shall appear in a
style, not only to merit all the eneomiums of
praise SO lavishly bestowed upon it, but also
so as to challenge increased respect for it's
enhanced excellence and perfection. In short,
the whole paper will be far superior to any
thing Jet offered to the public by the publish
er. By referring to the following list, which
forms part only of the regular contributors
to the Pictorial, its high literary character
will at once be understood:
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, Mrs. L. H. Sigour-
ney, Mrs. Alice B. Neal, Miss Phoebe Carey,
Miss Alice Carey, Mrs. Caroline Orne, Miss
Anne T. Wilbur, Mrs. S. Z. Doughty, Mrs

FEMALE EMpLoYMENT.-The editor of the
New York Mirror is strongly in favor of wo-
men performing more of mans work. He
says the millinery business ought to be mo-
nopolized by women. The shops where shoes
are sold for females, ought to have females
employed in them to do the fitting 1t is re-
Voting often to see grown men lingering
around ones wife's, daughters, or sisters an
Giles, fitting on boots and shoes, and discours-
ing about the "excellence of the foot" or
"beauty of the shape" sc. Indeed, ladies
ought to insist upon being attended by wo-
men in such places, and the stores which en-
ploy them ought to have the preference in
custom.

Motives FOR MARRIAGE.-Men marry
from as diverse motives, as the subjects they
we'd are opposite in nature, look, and genius.
Goethe married to obtain responsibility.
Wilkes declared that he welded to please his
friends. Wycherly, in his old age took his
servant girl to spite his relations. The Rus
slams have story Of q widow who was so in
consolable for the loss of her husband, that
she took another to keep her from fretting to
death: and we read of an Irishman who de-
clared he would never have taken second
wife, but having chance of marrying a Pro-
testant girl, he just took her to save her soul.
A young and rather fast gentleman married a
woman old enough to be his grandmother, be-
cause he owed her debt of fifty dollars for
board.
