A New York contemporary, the Herald, asserts
tina, the present revolution in Mexico was planned
in the city of New York, shortly after the lanish-
men, of Cevallos by Santa Anna, end :hat the
conspiracy had the sanction Of numerous influen-
tjal Americans. 1t adds, further, tina. it was the
original intention Of President Polk, after the cap
ture of Mexico BY General Scott, to annex the
conquered ,srri,ory to the United States; that, for
this purpose, General Quitman was made Cover
nor; and that the treaty of Mr.. Trist, which ffus-
trated thisdesign. fell like a thunder clap on the
Administration. Reasoning from these assertions
our contemporary maintains that the absorption of
Mexico, now tha, a favorable opportunity has again
occurred, is, in a sense, the dsty of the American
people. 1t argues that, if we do not seize Mexico,
some one of the European powers will. il asserts
there is no other future for Mexico but annexation
TO- the United States. The day is not distant. it
declares, when the 'stars and stripes" will float
over the whole of that magnificent land, and ex-
tend even to Yucatan, and take the Isthmus of
Panama itself.

THE South Of Oasn 4sanes.-ln Mr.. Benz
TOMS forthcoming volume of his Thirty Years
IN the Senate, occurs the following passage:
aIt is a tradition of the colonies that the
sontb had been the seat Of wealth and happi-
ness. of DOW and opulence; that a rich popu,,
iation covered the land, dispensing baronlai
hospitality, and diffusing the happiness when
themselves enjoyed; that all was life, ana Joy
and a~fiusnce then. And this tradition was NOT
without sinmilitude TO the reality, as TINS "r'ter
can testify: for he was old enough to have seen
lafter the Revolutios) the still surviving state
Of Southern colonial manners, when no traveller
was allowed to 90 to a~tavern, and was handed
over from family to family through entire
States; when holidays were days of festivity
and expectation, long prepared for, and cele.
brated by master and slave with music and
Teasing, and great concourse Of friends and
relatives; when gold was kept in desks OF
chests, (after the downfall Of paper) and
weighed in scales, and lent to neighbors for
short terms without note, interest, witness or
security,--and on bond and land security for
long wears and lawful usance; and when petty
LITIGATION was at so low an ebb that it required
a fine of forty pounds of tobacco to make a
man to serve as constable"

A Farm to Read About.


The Ohio State Journal gives the following
DESCRIPTION Of the farm Of Gen. Washington,
near Chilicothe:
While in Chilicothe. a few days since, [ avails
ed myself of an opportunity Of visiting tie
fine farm Of Gen. Worthington, which 10 1Oest-
ed about two miles north Of this city, upon the
high grounds that overlook the beautiful yal-
ley Of Scioto.
This farm contains about seven or eight
hundred acres of the beat land in the garden Of
Oaio, well supplied with the pdrest water, and
adorned with magnificent groves Of forest trees.
Fruit Of the choicest kind, and of every varie-
ty. are to be found 10 the spacious orchards,
for there ar several; while the grape and the
melon vines that were growing luxuriantly on
every hand, satisfied US that the General would
never suffer from the want Of friendly visitors
during the srape and melon season. Figs from
the land Of Smyrna, frijoles from the plains Of
Mexico, and peas from the semi-ciyilized coun-
try Of Japan, flourish in his well cultivated
gardens, objects of curiosity to the stranger,
and Of pride, and qualification to the well cul-
tjyated taste of the General.
Alasge stone mansion built for durability,
comfort and convenience by his ancestor, the
late Gov. Worthington, stands npon the bluff.
from the top of which may b. seen q country
al up and down the winding Scioto, that in
our humble opinion surpasses anything that can
be seen this side of Jordan.

the hill, ID q lake, constructed by the General
himself, fron a rnarshy piece Of ground, D

Sebastopol ard he Crimea.

From the London Times June II.
1t seems impossible that Srhastopol can hold out
much longer. The official dispatches from
kertch state that recently large eonvoys of grain
and flour have been regularly despatched thence
10 Sebastnpol. Our readers cannot have forgot
ten the graphic description given in "A recent let.
ter of our special correspondent in the camp
above Sebastopol, ofthe array of wagons and piles
of sacks, apparently containing grain or flour
which he could see through his glass the
heights to the north of the harbor.
These were. there can be no doubt the Kertch
conveys, and this source whence Sabastopol would
appear have been exclusively provisioned of
late, Is now cut off We not disposed to build
ON the unauthenticatpd rumors which have been
flying about Sehastopol, of dispatches captured
at kertch which contain most lamentable account
ot the raVagrs OF disease among garrison of Sc
bastnPol, But there are two passages in the
communication OF ar special correspondent,
which we publish to-day, that are pregnant with
meaning. On p uh. he writes:
The Russians have been hurying an unusual
number of dead ou the north side the last few
days. These burial places on that side of the
harbor are exposed to our view. and with a good
glass not only the recent graves can he distin-
gushrd but also the parties nj work excavating
or performing the last rites IF ,eputure"
On the 2-th be Hgain remarks:-
"Fhe RUSSIANS are still observed to be very bu-
sy about the grayeyards the north side of the
harbor."
At the highest of the three grave fclds-for
the term "graveyards' is hardly appropriate, as
they not encloseI-as many as seven carts
we're observed to be standing at one time to day
Several parties also have been noticed making
fresh graves.
