The reader will get something of an idea Of
he state of affairs at the Federal Capitol, from
the following extracts from Washington dis
patches to two New York journals 1t is evi-
dent that there is a screw loose somewhere,
and that there is danger of crash.
From the NeraIfS dispatch:
The policy Of the administration seems to be
emnenIy compromised IN the matter of APP
pontmen's 1t Is useless to pretend the cahi-
net Is "A unit upon this subject, whltever may
be the case in others affairs. Mr.. Marcy has
too many opponents to Crush to POWDER" as he
has said. to permit the President to fiji the Off
ces upon the principle OF giving them to those
who have all along stood on the platform which
carried the last election. Other members of
the Cabinet having none of tins personal feel
ing, are disposed to hesitate ere they let the
Secretary Of State have full swing, and hence
the delay.
The refusal Of the soit4 to endorse the Inau-
gural in the New York Legislature, together
with the silence Of the free soil organs, has ap-
parenty frightened Marcy; and an artic e in
the Buffalo RcpubHc edited by Mr.. WEIGH, the
| Stlte Treasurer, has fallen Ike a bombshcl in

avoiding his conclusions, because they are
bound up in the official correspondence and
history Of the country Instead of Mr.. Clay
ton and General Taylor rehnqushing any right
to EnG'and in the ncgot ton of the treaty
with the British Minister, respecting aillirs IN
Central America, the facts are that Great Bril-
tain fell back great distance from the position
she had assumed in regard to the Mosquito
co9st AMI the ufirs of Central America. The
Monroe doctrine AS l. is led, was pushed l.
a higher point by Mr.. Clayton, and WAS acccd-
Ell to by Great Britain tnore decidedly than cv-
er before, IN the treaty which was made in re-
gard to the ship canal, AMI the rights of parties
to use the same, by the river San Juan and
Lake Nicaragua.
The British, during Mr.. Folks adininistra-
ton, had set up sort Of protectorate govern
ment on the Mosquito cols', and had singled

tonaton, ana I'VE him The nime Of king. To
protect him in his regal dignity and to support

came his protectors. They expected in this
way to establish themselves and consolidate

1t was an attempt on the part of Great Britain
to transplant her East India policy 10 the shores
Of the new World. 1t passed along UNDECIDED
by the Polk administration, ana even the fill

! ed, sat IN silent contemplation Of the British
ntngucs. The Monroe doctrne.' of which
they have spoken SO much Of late, was forgot

Democratic Administration of Mr.. Polk. As
soon as the Taylor administration came into
power, this matter was promptly taken IN hand

by the way Of the river San Juan ana Lake

est to be thwal;ed by the pretension sat up BY
Great Britain, as the protector Of the Mosquito
coast
The conclusion was that the pretentions Of
Great Britain were rclnqushcd, and the rights
and interests of the United States maintained
We believe that the speech Of Mr.. Clayton
will do much good. 1t will correct the error,
which have been promulgated so assiduousl,
oy the demlgogucs Of the Locofoco party
The recent admirable letter of Mr.. Everett die
much to place the Wing party in lis true posi-
non on those questions connected with future
policy. The speech of Mr.. Clayton came ii
appropriately 10 the same purpose; and We
havc no doubt that the speech of Mr. Everett
will further dcvelopc thu broad national, Amer
lcan views OF the Wing party, in regard to tn,
policy which the United States should adopt
both with American and European Govern
nents.

Muscogee railroad bonds for $4,000, and paid
towards the State road in the way of taxes as
much as the whole of South. western Georgia

$4,000 for steam vessels, 100000 for a

1rlspAY EVENING, JUNE I, 1853


Last Saturday night the passengers on the
JEANNE DEEMS had, for short time after leav-
ing ST. Leuis, chance 10 form some idea Of a
steamboat race. The Garden City, bound for
the Illinois river. was .overtaken by the JEANNE
Deans, running at her accustomed speed, and
not expecting the banter for race which seemed
10 be thrown out by the Garden City, on her
approach Whether the JEANNE hurried her
pace little is not exactly known, but certain it
is, thatahe soon came alongside Of the Garden
City. After running this way awhile the tenn
per Of the pilot on the latter gave way and he
drew pistol on the pilot Of the former, probo-
bly with the intention Of frightening him from
the wheel In this he was not successful, and
the JEANNE soon ran ahead.

FROM PAPERS RECE WE'D THIS MoKTING,
New Route for the North Missouri Road,

A correspondent Of the ST. Louis News, wri.
ting from Florida, in Monroe county, suggests
that route for the North Missouri Railroad car
be obtained, fifty miles shorter than the one nov
proposed, and over ground better adapted for
construction. This route, which he says is
straight and level" is thus described:
Let it begin, say, at Warren; thence 60
northwest along the main divide" between
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and down
between Spencer and Littleby, a fork of the
south fork of Salt River. The road nav be 10.
Gated easily on this divide TO South Fork; not
branch 10 cross, except an occasional and very
slight one, and almost dead level the whole
way. Al the South Fork there will be bridge
10 make; another at Florida, and another across
the North Fork, when approached. Then
commencing on the opposite side Of the north
fork, let il 20 northwest, leaving that stream on
the left. Let it keep the main ridge TO Shelby
vile, or leave ii little 10 the left, and follow It
on % Lancaster in Schuyler county. This, like
the route first described, is a straight course on
level the whole way. There is nothing to
impede ii but branch between thirty and forty
feet wide. | have tray eled these divides" long
before this country was settled, and when In.
dams roamed the forests, thinking then that
another generation would pass away, before il
would be inhabited and populated. At
Florida II will be necessary TO build two bridges
within mile of each other. BY location, one
or two miles east of town, the construction Of
one Of them will be avoided, and level way is
obtained. A route west of Florida is highly
Objectionable, as about twenty streams and one
hundred ravines and deep hollows, will be en-.
countered; or else an enormous curve must DO
made TO keep the great ridge between the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers aud tie road by
so doing will be heightened fifty miles. There
Is one other very important reason for the Flor
ida route. There is an immense coil region
within three miles OF the town, &C, erin, miles
m extent The deposiie being q mis in width.
The route | advise runs directly hrolgh them.

Teeth set on Edge.

All acid food and dri. ks, medicines, and
tooth washes and powders, are very inju.
rious TO The teeth. If tooth is put in
cider, vinegar, lemon-juices, or tar,arc
acid, in few hours the enamel will be com
pIetelv destroyed, so that it can be re-
moved by The fnger-nail, as if it were
chalk. Most people have experienced
what is commonly called teeth set on edge
The explanation of i; is, the acid of the
fruit that has been eaten has so soflened
the enamel OF the tooth, that the least
pressure is felt by the exceedingly small
nerves which peIvade the thin membranes
connecting the enamel and the bony par
of the TOOTH Such an effect cannot be
produced without injuring the enamel
True, il will become hard again when the
acid is removed by the fluids of the mouth
just as an egg-shell that has been soltened
in this way becomes hard again by being
put into the water When the effect o.
sour fruit on tie teeth subsidies, they fee
as well, bot they are not as well. And the
ofteher it Is repeated, the sooner the disas
trous consequences are manifested
