~ The New Orleans Delta has received
advices from the City of Mexico to the LIST,
by the brig Brownsville, from Vera Cruz, and
from the latter port to the 9th.
The State of Durango has cast its vote in
favor of Santa Anna for tho Presidency, ma
king eleven States voted for him, and but
one against him thus far.
The Mexican Commissioners sent out to
solicit the return of Gen. Santa Anna, return
ed to Vera Cruz on the 4th instant. They
report that Gen. Santa Anna will accept the
Presidency of the Republic. He breathes
vengeance against Gen. Arista, and harbors
a strong hostility to the United States.

"MALE WoMEN."-The Springfield (Mo.)
Republican, speaking Of the women who are
traversing the Northern and Middle States,
lecturing on "Woman's Rights" says:

woman. We admire her in the beauty of her
person, her moral presence, and her positions;
we respect her simple truthfulness and limo.

the highest charms and sweetest attributes of
humanity. But male woman, who can bear!

which women perform the leading parts; Of
lectures on the subject of marriage, to pro.
miscuous audiences, by female tongues; and
Of perambulating female spouters who 60

emotion of disgust. Many of these women
are mothers, who have families of tender age

people their duties! What comfortable wives

JUST So.-Some cute temperance editor,
who is not to be humbugged by Congression-

safety-valves, ETC., on steamboats, is misdi.

this writer, lies in another quarter. 1.-THE best

Congress may legislate till doomsday, so long
as the officers, engineers, and firemen of our
steamboats, carry too much steam in the boats.
The boats are always sure to follow their ex.

the rum traffic must be continued, we would
advise the owners of steamboats, to have them

boilers with the useless appendase."

ANEcDorE OF WELLINGToN.-Some years
since, the duke was sitting at his library table,
when the door opened, and, without any nm.
nouncement, in stalked figure of singnlar,y
i'll omen. "Who're you" asked the duke, in
his short, dry manner, looking up, without
the least change Of countenance, upon the
intruder. Il am Apollyon." "What want
you!" Il am sent to kill you" Kill me-
very odd" Il am Apollyon, and must put
you to DEATH" "Bliged to do it to-day 7" II

busy-great many letters to write call again,
and write me word I'll be ready for YOU"

stern, unmovable old man, backed out Of the
room, and in half an hour was safe in Bedlam,

BANK OF EAST TENNESsEE.--A rumor
affecting the solvency of this institution
reached here last Friday. There were but
few bills in circulation in this section, and

left there on Tuesday, and upon whose state

The Washington correspondent Of the
PHILADELPHIA American writes:

The general question of foreign policy is
attracting the attention of the Cabinet just
now. The small cloud that seems rising
again in the political heavens of Europe, be-
tokcnsa storm near at hand, unless calmer
winds shall speedily dispense the threatening
vapors. If am not greatly mistaken in my
information, the present Administration will
do all that it can do to frown down al! COM
binations of despots. Gen. Pierce, Mr. Cush-
ing, and Col. Davis are all heartily with the
revolutionists Of Europe; and they will shape
the policy of the Administration with refer
ence to European affairs, should struggle
between liberty and dcspotism occur. Mr..
Marcy is conservative to the last degree; but
his voice and influence will be lost on Gen.
Pierce. Mr.. Campbell, Of your State, will
oppose the liberal movement. There is
growing impression here that the renewal of
the revolutionary struggles in the old world
is not far distant.

- The Chattanooga Advertiser of the
cath ult., contains the valedictory address of
Mr.. II. T. PHILLIPS, and also an article about
the "Loudon Free Press" "Athens Post. "and
its "Charlcston correspondent" There is
nothing in the last article that calls for any
notice from us, except perhaps, the following
paragraph:
ave have word or two to say in reference
to the 'sncaking opposition to the prosperity
of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad,
a. insinuated by the Post. So far as the
Advertiser is concerned, it is falsehOod in
toio."
We are not aware that we ever said the
Advertiser had openly displayed hostility to
our Road we don't know that such is the
fact, and we are certain if it has, its hostility
has never elected any particular attention in
this direction. What we said was, that from
the reorganization of the Company to the
present time, there had been Il little sneaking
opposition to the enterprise, and that good
deal Of it had originated about Chattanooga.
1t is just that way, and no denial of the Ad-
vertiser, or any other person, will invalidate
orweaken the fact. Thatopposition has never
amounted to anything 1t perhaps never will
but our assertion is none the less true.
The Advertiser talks about the water sta
tions on the line of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad. This we consider very
unfortunate remark for our irascible and sem
sitive friend, because if there is any town in
our end of the State that may justly claim
To be called water station, it is Chattanooga.
We have been told by gentlemen of that
aqueous locality that the only part of it
that il not liable to be inundated and sub
merged ut every rise of the Tennessee, is an
area of some twenty-five or thirty acres, set
apart and used as graveyard, and which is
said to be by far the most populous quarter
Of the city.
The Advertiser concludes by advising the
"Free Press" to ''retard the building Of the
Bridge at Loudon as much as possible, for as
soon as it is finished property there will de-
preciate fifty per cent" We believe the re-
firing editor is quite competent to give such
advice, rs he has no doubt pondered deeply
the paralysing effects that the building Of the
Bridge across the Tennessee below Chatta-
nooga and the completion of the Nashville
Road, is to have upon the business and pros
perity of that city. We hope his sudden
withdrawal from all connection with the Ad-
vertiser has not been induced by his reaec-
tons on that subject.

GEN. HAsKELL's LETTER.-The Nashville
Union, the editor of which is as great in crlti-
csm as a certain physician was on fits, has
very elaborate review of Gen. Haskell's late
admirable letter. The Union is ,talic-eyed,
and secs every thing coming from wing
in a reversed order. In these quiet, piping
times of peace, n man of ordinary susccpti-
bities might afford to exhibit little candor
and fair dealing in his writings about his po-
litical adversaries. But the Union evidently
feels that it is nothing if not critical.

22d year of his age.
The pale hand of death falls alike ON all. The
Young and bouyant, apparently in the full enjoy
ment of the pleasures incident to youth, with those
who have ssscen the twilight OF such days." are
alike victims Of its impartial hand. 1t then i'll
becomes us to mourn too deeply over the graves
of departed friends yet, who can restrain tear
when separated forever from those with whom
long years of close intimacy have united as in
bonds of unwavering friendship. The deceased
in early life evinced many noble traits of charac-
ter which failed not to meet the admiration of all
who knew him. An amiable disposition, kind
heart, and talent of the highest order shone con-
splcuously IN him while yet boy, which meath
the fostering arm of education had rendered him
a bright ornament for society and valuable and
useful citizen. During his collegiate course, his
affable manners his generous disposition, his cam
dor and sincerity commanded the respect, and en-
deared him not only to his fellow students, but to
all the members of the learned faculty of st.
john College. The deceased was eminently con-
spicuous for plety, and amid the allurements of
popularity was ever mindful of the duty he owed
to his God. So that the grief of his friends and
relatives, who now deeply deplorc their loss, may
be somewhat assuaged by the happy consolation
that he had lived as lives the innocent, and that
bis
esprit now floats above
a scraph in the sky" r. ]. I,
