THE WAGON ROAD FROM FORT DEFIANCE TO
THE MOJAVI RIVER

The corps for the construction Of this road has
been organized, under the direction Of the Secretary
of War, as follows: Edward f. Beale superintend-
ent; G. II. Heap, assistant; Dir. James p. Hamblc-
ton, physician The working party viii consist of
fifty picked men, with the necessary wagons and
tools to break the road through.
Lieut. Charles L. Thorburn has been detached
from the Navy Department, to accompany the expe-
dition for geological surveys
twenty-five cames will accompany the expedition
which win afford ample opportunities to test their
powers Of endurance and their adaptability to an
american climate. The camels will be confded to
,he care Of Mr.. Heap who, il will be recollected by
many of our readers, accompanied the expedition
that was sent from the United States for their pur
chase. The whole party viii rendezvous at New Or
leans some time next month, and thence proceed
without delay to the extensive of their arduous
and dangerous abors.
All the corps Of the several Pacific wagon roads
organized and are making the most active
preparations for the prosecution of the great work
which has been intrusted to them at the earliest
possible moment They are composed of men whose
anecedents justify their selection for the important
trusts that have been confded to them and which
will be discharged in the present instance, there is
every reason to believe to the entire satisfaction Of
the public.
1t is confidently believed that these great wagon
roads to the Pacific will be completed before the ex
piration of the present year The Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary Of War have manifested
stronger interest than official solcitude for
their early completion and have evinced zeal and
Prcmptude in carrying out the wishes of Congress
in reference to this great enterprise which can only
be eqnlled by the sound discrimination which they
have shown in the selection of their agents.

In 1S47 the navigation between France and the East
Indies employed only 20 vessels with an aggregate
I'll ,622 tons The augmentation in 1855 is therefore
6 vessels and 53 236 tons, ESQ per cent
tonnage.
The French ports which share in this trade are Mar
seilIcs Bordeaux and Havre and the ports in the East
Indies with which the French carry their principal
India commerce Calcutta, Akyab, Bombay, Colombo
Ceyon) and fourteen other ports The total value of
imports into France from these ports was in 1854 49,
335, 000fr in 1885, 874 O00 The chief articles i'm
ported indigo, as, l79, ,OO0fr } Coffee and rice
The total value of exports from France to the East In
dies was in 1854, 5424 900 francs in 1855, 1879 900
francs; the chief articles being brandy, wnes jewelry
stationery, books, porcelain, silks, sea-salt, &C.
The length to which we have run out the preceding
translation precludes any comments in reference to
the facts and figures which it discloses These are
however, in an eminent degree suggestive not only
to the mercantile reader, but also to the statesman
and the legislator. The enormous amount paid by
France for instance to this colossal company for the
article Of indigo alone Q5,l79,OOO francs or 100000
dollars,) naturally recalls to the mind the colonial
history of France little over half a century ago.
when her West India possessions supplied nearly
the whole world with that article and not maund of
it was grown article of commerce on British
soHt Iempord mutdntur. The fact, however, is adj
monitory, and the lesson it teaches should not be
overlooked

a correspondent Of the Philadelphia North Amer

The trade of Charleston during the past winter was
not only larger in the aggregate, but substantial
than during any former year. The merchants are De-
ginning to understand the Importance of cultvatng he
business OF their State and of bringing to their doo
customers who, from neglect indifference have been
accustomed to carry their business elsewhere There ap
many evidences to an observing eye of decided change
for the better in the general aspect Of commercial d
ings, and of more liberal and wisely conducted spirit

HEAITH OF EX-sEcRETARY DoBBlN.

1t viii be remembered (says the Baltimore Ameri-
CAM that the health Of the Hon. James G. Dobbin,
late Secretary Of the Navy, was greatly impaired
during his residence in Washington owing in great
measure no doubt, to his untiring devotion to the
arduous duties Of his Office and his unwillingness to
absent himself from his post, although strongly adj
vised to do so by his physicians and by President
Pierce When Mr.. Dobbin reached Fayetteville,
after his term Of Office expired, his condition
very critical; his constitution naturally weak, being
completely worn down. We regret to learn, by re-
cent adyiccs, that, owing to unavorabe weather, he
has not been able TO leave his room since reaching
his homc but learn that his spirits are good, and
that he is in strong expectation of greatly improved
heath as soon the weather sets in and he is
enabled to take exercise in the open air.

our recent exchanges that the democracy of Nox,t

VIM. Barksdale for denomination fJr Congress-
Mr. b. was representative from the third con
gressona district of Mississippi. His record is
without blemis, and, young though he may be in
years, the democracy Of his State already looks up to
him as to veteran leader
During the first session of the last Congress- while
the severe contest for the speakership going on
the energy and activity Of Mr. b. for him golden
opinions from all his colleagues, and marked him out
as one well worthy to undertake the management of

on the slavery question: delivered towards the close
of the same session ranked him more highly as an
able expounder of the doctrines of his party. During
the latter part of the last session, while he
fined to his room by painful and protracted illness,
his friends will remember well how all thoughts Of
self were swallowed up in his anxiety to participate
in those stormy discussions which attended the de-
parture from power Of an unscrupnous opposition.
II is an excellent trait of southwestern democ-
racy that they do not tire Of their great politi

BRITISH EAST INDIA POSSESSIONS.

We eresume below our translation Of the interesting
article the commercial resources and immense
trade of the British East India possessions which
find in a recent number Of that excellent French
monthly fA,,aaes du Commerce Eattne,r," issued at
Paris under the direction Of the Department of Agr
culture, Commerce, and Public Works. We may
here take occasion to remark that now as Congress
has created additional bureau in the State Depart
ment, devoted exclusively to the commercial interests
of the country, IN which the laws regulations, de-
crees, tariffs, and movements of foreign commerce
are translated, condensed, classified and annually
published under the direction of the Secretary of
State, may confidently expect soon to be able to
procure from that department abundant material to
enable TO keep mercantile readers wel posted
in regard to the movements of foreign commerce,
without an absolute dependence on the commercial
publications of other governments. This bureau was
desideratum long and anxiously looked for by our
mercantile classes, an indispensable auxiliary in
their successful race of competition with their trans
atlantic rivals; and now that surpass the great
commercial mistress of the Old World in our tonnage
and are second to no power on earth in the enter
prise industry, perseverance, and skill of those of
our fellow-citizens who direct and control mer-
camille movements have, i'll the enlarged expert
ence, sound Judgment, and well-tried devotion TO
American progress which emnently characterize
the present Secretary of State and his distinguished
colleague, the Assistant Secretary the best assurance
that the new statistical bureau oftheir deparmentw
under their judcous direction be 80 conducted as to
merit the continued lberality Of Congress- and real
ize the Just expectations Of enlightened CONNER
cial community The first official report from this
bureau, Annual Report on Foreign Commerce. &c,
for 1856, was transmitted to Congress at the
mencement of last session by the Secretary of State
and is now, we are informed, going through the
press 1t is anxiously looked for by all classes Of
our fellow-citizens, in any way engaged in CONNER
cia enterprises mercantile industry, to whom it
will prove quite important and asefu for the vast
amount Of valuable information which it will spread
before them as it will be indispensable to the states
man in all that relates to enlightened commercial
Legislation, particularly in respect to foreign coun
tries. With these observations we proceed to our
translation:

to the necessity OF State tax 1t is proposed to raise
the next year not less than million of dollars in that
way, and that not to complete any great public work. but
merely to pay up past arrearages Nao Fork Tribune.
An increase Of taxes, or Of the public debt has
been the experience Of nearly every State in which
the black republicans are the dominant party. 1t
has been in Maine, New Hampshire Vermont
Connecticut, and Rhode island and we are there
FORE not surprised at the candid admission of the
Tribune that Massachusetts has been driven to the
necessity of raising next year, by State tax mil
lion of dollars, !" not to complete any great public
work, but merely to pay up past arrearagcs.p de-
uded people, insensible to the influences of reason
the calls of patriotism, may yet realize the awaken
ing effects of deep and persistent pocket appeals.
We learn from the New York papers that the con-
vention chosen to perfect and adopt some plan for
reforming the democratic primary elections met at
Tammany Hall on Monday evening last.
