are pleased to learn that the example of bring
ing wood to the city for the benefit of the
Poor, was first set by the Preseent and Directors
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company. We were not aware of the fact
at the time writing the notice which appeared last
Saturday morning, and therefore take the first occa
sion to do the Directory of that Company Justice
From our knowledge of the character of many men,
bers of the Board were satisfied that the largest
lberalty would be exercised towards the Poor, and
thus it was that we publicly called upon them to
take prompt action upon the subject. Indeed we
think we do not go far when say, that each of
tbe Improvement companies terminating in city
will do all they can to aid the sufferers and relieve
their wants.

MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10 ,es,
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS

The Penny Post (Which madeits first appearance
on Saturday, gives an outline of its future course.
1t viii be devoted to the news OF the day: the inter
ests of Richmond local matters; to everything con-
nected with the resources of the State; will advo-
cate wha; has been called the Southern question.
and will discuss the relations between this and
foreign countries, always recommending firm and
determined demeauor, on the part of our govern
ment 10 the whole world. Several other editorials
appear in the columns of the present issue.
The B0llotis refers to the memorial of the James
River and Kauawha Company, and speaks of the
expectations now entertained to complete the
whole line of intercommunication between the
Ohio and Chesapeake within two years The But.
ietin trusts that 'aa Legislature will not adjourn
without making adequate provision for the prose.
cution OF the enterprise
Saturdays Mail ilpublishes the proclamation ofthe
Filibustering Expedition in Lower California, and
remarks thereon:
This is of the greatest feats of the Universal
Yankee nation that we ever heard of. Nothing in
ancient or modern history can furnish parallel
to il. Think OF foltyfve Yankees 'conQuerinr a
peace" and erecting new government in hostile
land The thing almost surpasses belief.
The Hhi9 has an article on the ''Shinplaster Cur
rency' and Mr.. kemper's resolution. We quote
the concluding paragraph:
We should like to see come practical, efficient
mode adopted to furnish the State with better cur
rency Ii we are nos to have small notes issued by
the Banks of the State, let us have something AS
tor the plan now proposed, it may be questioned
whether it would not tend great deal more to
force citizens of the State to psrjure themselves
than to suppress the of Shinplasters. Our
present Democratic rulers have the power. They
can try it.
The Enquirer recommends to the attention of
the Legislature the suggestion of Gov. Johnson re-
lative TO the purchase of Mount Vernon 1t says:
Itisin every respect proper that Virginia should
have custody ofthe tomb OF Washngton, and should
hold it as shrine to which the voaries of liberty
may resort, to render homage to the memory ofthe
most iustrious champion OF human rights. 1t
would be altogether in harmony with the character
of Washington if the qualification of the nobest
sentiment Of the soul could be combined with
scheme ofpractical good. and hence there a
peculiar pIopriey in the suggestion Of the Governor
that Mount ernon should be at once the haunt of
the patriot and the seat of learning. Washington
first in peace well in war, and some insti-
tuition commemorative Otthe less striking and gen
tier virtues OF his character would be appropri
ate tribu!e 10 his memory.
The Enquirer also tayors an increased saary for
the CommonweaIth's Attorney oi the Circuit Court
Of fRichmond.

THE EMPIRE IN Mexico, &c.-We received on
Saturday the New Orleans Picayune of the llth
inst, containing the news from Mexico which we
have heretofore published by telegraph. Itsays:
A letter has been put into our possession, dated
at Vera Cruz on the gath ult., from source which
we knowto be entirely creditable, and likely to be
well informed, stating in positive terms that Santa
Anna would assume the tile OF Emperor, on the
10Th December, which will be tomorrow.
The Picayune goes On to state its impression that
this event is certainly approaching, whether ittae
place at the time specified or at future day
The whole policy Of Santa Anna has evidently been
directed to this point. 1t is probable that he cal
culates upon the sale of aportion CT Mexican ter
ritory TO the United States, for the pecuniary
means of sustaining his new empire in its COM
rnencement.
The career of Santa Anna Is indeed marvel. We
have long ceased to be startled with any thing
like wonder at the suddenness of his transtorma-
tions his extraordinary reverses, and the rapdlty
with which he recovers all and more than all of his
los
The Picayune has intelligence from Mexico con-
frrning the seizure of La Paz by fillibustering
party from San Francisco, and the capture ofthe
two Governors. Sr. Rebolledo and Sr. Don Rafael
Espinosa.
An extract from the "7rdit d Union" of the 10Th
November states that the Mexcans had solicited
aid against the La Paz expedition from an English
frigate which was cruising III the nelshborhood
and that she had sailed for La Paz.
News from Mexico to the lst of the month is
daily looked for, per steamer Texas. We have al
ready had telegraphic information that Santa Anna
had been proclaimed Dictator for ten years.
