MEXICO,

Files Of papers from the City Of Mexico
TO July 81, and from Vera Cruz to the 9th
have been received.
The Orden of the 17th contains the con-
clusion Of a report on the subject Of road
making, in which the experience of Eng
land, France and Belgium, and the autbori-
ty Of Parnell and Mcneil are advanced in
support of the superior efficacy and cheap,
ness Of macadamization.
The same paper has a long article in
which it rabidly assails the Press of the
United States, which il characterizes as ut
terly venal, and conducted with sole view
to profit, without the slightest regard TO
private feelings, social considerations or
public tranquility. Mexico and all that is
Mexican, Spain and all that is Spanish, are
said to be the especial marks at which this
"prOstitule Press " directs its 4" envenomed
shafts )" and it is gravely declared to think
little Of the ignominy with which il covers
itself in insulting those nations and their
most distinguished men.
New regulations for the Government
conveys have been issued. in the middle
of the months Of January, May and Septem-
Der, they are 10 leave Mexico for Vera
Cruz. AT the beginning of the same
months those from Guanojuro for Vera
Cruz are 10 leave for Mexico, so as 10 ioin
with the former and those from Zacatecas
and Guanajuato, for San Louis Polosi, are
to leave at the same time, and having mel
al this place TO proceed in company TO San
ia Anna de Tamaulipas. Remitiances fol-
Matamoros will be sent from Monterey,
the Capital Of Nuevo Leon, whence con-
voys will leave at the beginning of the
months above named. Other regulation.

and the manner in which remittances are tC
be sent, the value asceTtained, and the du-
ties paid
The Government has called for an exact
return from all Governors Of States, OF all
foreigners residing within their respective
Jurisdictions, particularizing whether they
have the necessary license 10 remain in tho
country, and giving the number of those
who have not, on each of whom a fine oil
$50 or Imprisonment is to be inflicted, till
they be disposed Of either by being compell-
ed to leave the country Or by getting the
necessary cartas de scguridad.
All public officers have been required 10

paper, by an order issudcd on the 18th uli.
by the Minister Of Foreign Relations.

voyage of 1900 miles down the stream in
sixty ,hours. The great advantage of the
disk engine is, that it gets " full duty" out
Of steam, and thus effects an important sa-
wing. 1t is, however, more used on the
continent than in England. A model of
this engine was exhibited at late meeting
of the United States Service institution Of
London.
NJ. B. Larsky, the engineer, lately de-
ceased, who had also acquired a reputation
as a poet and an archiaologist, made dis
coyery Of the greatest importance in White
Russia, a discovery brought TO light when
his papers were examined, after his dcceasc.
Being occupied in making a road in that
province, he found it necessary TO drain of
the waters of the lake into another lake at a
lower level, and in the course of the opera
tion he discovered in a forest, several feet
below the surface of the soil, road paved
in the antique Roman and Mexican style,
with traces Of a stone bridge of a peculiar
construction. In NJ Larsky's opinion, two
or three thousand years must have elapsed
before the face of the country could have
transformed to such an extent as he observed,
and if his supposilion be well founded, this
district must have been inhabited before the
time of the Scythians by more civilized
nation. M. Larsky's discovery will, doubt
less, not pass unnoticed, and may lead to
important results.
An important railway, fifty German miles
in length, and which will unite Hagen,
Siegen, Belzdorf, Geisen, Dcnz, Welziar,
Ehrenbrcitzen, has Just been conceded to an
English company by the Prussian Govern
ment, with guarantee Of the minimum in
teresI of per cent. The congress of the
railway directors assembled at Berlin have
decided on the adoption of new and more
moderate tariff for the transport Of merchan-
disc.
The Alsacian says: "The Sirasburg
line of railway is being completed. Thro'-
out the whole Of the principal line from
Paris TO Strssburg double line of rails has
been laid down since the beginning of July,
and now men are engaged in laying down a
line from Metz 10 Forbach. The company
was authorized to preserve a single line Of
rails on that section as long as the gross re-
ceipts did not exceed $4,000 francs per
kilometrc. That amount of receipts having
been passed, and the circulation augmcntng
every day, the Board of Directors decided
on laying down the second line, which is
now being done"
The Danish and Swedish squadrons uni
ted under the orders of Admiral Crusentolpe
was at Hirlsheim few weeks ago, and were
about to proceed into the Belt. Prince
Oscar of Sweden was in command of one oI
the Swedish vessels. The crews were in
good health.
A letter from Crete states that the Greek
journals which arrived by the English steam
er were seized by the English consul and
handed over 10 tho Turkish local authorities,
and after examination they were all destroy
ed except the Minerva, of Athens, which
was alone allowed to circulate.

at never rains but it pours" is an Old
alage quite suitable for quotation at present
for though the rain has not yet reached
the pouring point, it makes ample amends
by its unccasing efforts 10 reach said con-
dilion and if there's any reliance 10 placed
in the other and equally ancient adagc, that
Perseverance overcomes all Obstacles then
there can be no doubt but what, in the space
Of time technically termed aAi, pouring will
take the place Of sprinkling, and unmitiga-
ted gloom and dampness be the order of the
day. But 'what is to be will surely come
10 pass and as there's no use in crying
over split milk or what can't be helped,
we know of nothing better in the way Of
coincidence than to keep in view the better
times a coming Yet with all our philoso-
ply, we cannot but Poignanlly deplore the
present scarcity Of boots in this market, and
tue great want Of shoemakers; and were we
a town proprietor, we wouldn't for q mo-
ment hesitate TO offer through The columns
of the COLUMBIAN, town lot 10 aicl-men
as an inducement to the immigration Of that
class who best minister to the hOle-ncss Of
,oles. But as we are not or the town-pro-
prietor, we fear that such on act Of charity
10 bootless community, will have to remain
un-reeorded, sunhonorcd and unsung.'-
However, 'there's no great loss without
some small gain, and so with rainy weather,
muddy streets, and no boots, everybody will
have 10 stay al home and 'mlnd their own
business 10 the great benefit Of other peo-
ples') and that is more than some that we
know of, would do under any other circum-
stances.
As per contra 10 the dark side of the
picture, we will have during the winter, the
greatest collection Of hoROyables, here in
Olympia, that Washington Territory has
ever beheld. There'll be the governor, the
secretary Of state, the district attorney, the
supreme judges, marshal, councilmen, legis-
lators, candidates for delegate, demagogues,
wire-Pullers, log-rollers, and tOadies; form
ing such nenage as only the capital Of "a
great and growing country can boast. Bar
room politicians will be as plentiful as '6d-
oilers in The dominions Of His Satanic Majes-
iy'-all those who keep the spirits up by
pouring spirits down. will be able 10 enact
the dram-ah at other peoples e1pense-and
lherell be al abundance Of material for talk
and takers But lest we be accused of vi
olating the principles of armed neutrality
we will drop this part Of tho subject, and
make "a few brief remarks upon something
else-in our next issue.

THE AsHEvILLE SPECTATOR.

The Editor of the Asheville Spectator appeals
70 us to publish his defence for having, while in
wisconsin, supported Farwel, the Abolitionist, for
Governor. We have no wish to do Mr.. Hyman
niustico-we are wiling to try him by the record
and we therefore copy below what he calls his de-
fence. The first extract is from the Raleigh Reg
ister-then comes FarwelTs letter, defining his po-
sition as an Abolitionist, and then Mr.. HymanS
article as Editor of Wisconsin Wing paper:
"GRoss INJusrIcE! We regret exceedingly to
see in the last e" Marlborough SOutherner an un~or-
thy attempt made to excite an uDtonnosd PleJuulce
against present citizen of Edgecomoe County-"e
mean John D. Hyman, Esq me clIcalnstances are
these: Mr. Hvman, who, by the way, Is gentleman
of .pneror atfainmens, some three years since, or
tbereabonts emigrated Wisconsin, to seek his for
tnne in thai newly settled country. While there's he
became Editor of Wing newspaper And the III
ference is sought TO be Produced out of the fact that
while in this capacity he supported Farweil tor Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, that MIR. H. is freesoiier.
Now, for nearly or quite year. we had the pleas
ure Of exchanging with the journal of which Mr.. H.
had the Editorial charge, and, from TIE fact of his
being native North Carolinian and personal friend,
we watched his with peculiar interest, and,
we need say, with the veliest satisfaction ard
appreciation. We have no hesitation in saying that
more thoroughly National paper, inits uniform tone,
is MT at this moment edited South North OF the
Potomac, than was the one over whose columns Mr..
H. presided. He was an unfinching advocate OF
Mr.. Fillmore's nomination, and invariably insisted
upon an unqualified endorsement OF the Compromise
as a condition president any mans nomination for
the this, Under the most unpro
pitous circumstances, and in the verest ho-6ed of
Aboliiionism and Freesoiism.
As to the inference sought 10 be left that in sup
porting FarweII, Mr.. Hyman convicted himself of
Frees0iIism-a charge which can do him no harm
where he is known, but which we have not the pa
thence listen TO, without giving it the proper con-
tradction-we can make no better reply TO 1t, than
TO quote the following article from Mr.. Hymans pa

lion, and, as will be seen, vehemenIly protesting
