| OrR LATE MINISTER 70 MGXico.--rhe Mobile Tri-
bune Of Tuesday says.
1t will b. seen in auoher place that the L. S. sloop
of war Plymouth arrived in the bay on Sunday night
bringing lbc Hon. John Forsyth CleXIcan Minister
and his family. who, we are pleased TO learn are III
excellent health No person gould be more welcome
to the city. Mr. Forsyth has won reputation IN his
brief ambassadorial career which shonorable to him
self and apprecat d generally within the country
and especially by our own Mobile people. Not only
this but his b0ldnesS, prompttIdc, and intellectual
vigor in the difficult dutiesWhich fell IN his way when
the Me4can Government assumed the right to opprcss

ton and an example tor the European Ambassadors
in that distracted country. II Mr.. Forsyth does moi
return to Mexico we trust that the Administration
may succeed in lnding citizen who Will not mar the
good work he has set on foot.
\ letter OF the 9th inst. from the Mexican capitol
published IN the Bee Of y. o., says:
Your Minister, Mr.. Forsyth, has departed, leaving
behind the reputation OF blundercr and an oicol'
intermpdler, who has injured himself without bcne
filing Others.
II we had q few more such 'ntermcdders' in diff
ferent parts of the world whittier our citizens are
called by business or pleasure, ii would be fortunate
for the latter and for the honor of our flag. The
great fault with most Of our foreign representative
is that they shut their eyes to their most important
duties by Ignoring the existence of any case in which
an American citizen needs their protection. Regard

NoRru CAROLINA TEA.-Along the coast of North
Carolina there is shrub producing aspecies Of tea
which is in common use there and which doubtless
is destined hereafter to become production of some
Importance. II grows spontaneously aad the tea is
called Yopon. In appearance and lavo 1t is similar
to- if not identical with, the Matte or Paraguay tea
The mode Of preparation also bears a resemblance
to that employed by the Paragnans The smaller
branches of the tree are gathered and put in large
kettles over slow fire until the leaves and semand
thoroughly dried, when they are chopped up and
packed away in sacks aud barrels. In it effects it is
much like the Matlee. If taken in large quantities
it will nloxcate, and it has.been found very sooth-
ing in its effects upon the restless Large quantities
OF it are sold throughout the eastern part Of North
Carolina and Virginia, and it retails at prices vary
ing from so to 75 cents per bushel, This, however,
is the roughly prepared TEA

"The Chicago Daily Herald gives the following
reasons for the small Administration vote in that city
The fact having become known on the eve of the
election that the entire Catholic vote Of the city not
withstanding professions to the contrary. would be
thrown for Douglas, the National D mocrats become
exasperated at such wholesale treachery aud despite
of all the efforts that could be made to prevent it,
they voted masse for the Republican candidates as
the most efltctual way of defeating Douglas
"Now, the paper that makes this dsgraceinl state

by money sent from this city; was the pet of the
Washington Union. and was quoted and held up by
the latter the organ of the Administration in Chi
shal who suppanted Mr. Davidson, removed for adhe-
sion to the Democratic organization. The Daily
Herald then. may be taken as authority on the Ma
tona Democracy which means the Wendell-L Lincoln

I'VE call the attention of the South to such Democ-
racy that votes for Black Rcpublicanism. because it
WAS exasperated that Catholic voters meant to stick
by the Cincinnati platform.
"Thc Washington Union talks of the Buffalo plat
form. Surely this course in Chicago looks more like
the Buffalo platform than anything we have met with.

Our city is every day crowded with dctachmcrts of

over the loss of a son or brother who went to California

posure and toll, or the diseases of the climate, or the
hand Of ruf6an violence, was brought to an untimely
end. Or if YOU find one, here and there, who has been
more successful, you will also find many who gained
nothing, and very many who saved only enough from
their hard earnings to buy their passage home. Had
those cold-seekers invested their means IN purchasing
farms IN the West, and expended their time and labor

I'VE launched a gallant little craft,
Complete with every rope,

The Cupid, Captain Hope
Pleasure was rated second mate,
And Passion made to steer,
The guns were handed Ger to Fate,
To Impulse, sailing gear.
Merrily rowed the thoughtless crew
Amid the pillows strife;
But soon a sail bore down-all knew
Twas Captain Reasons Life
And Pleasure left, though Passion said
He'd guard her safe through all harms,
Twas vain, for Fate rammsd home the lead,
While Love prepared the small arms.
A storm arose ; the canvas now
Escaped from Impulses hand,
While headstrong Passion dashed the prov

But in her life boat Reason Lied,
To save the silly crew.
Impulse the torrents overwhem,

THE NroRo RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, writing from
Nubia, in Upper Egypt, says:-
Those friends Of the African race who point to
Egypt as proof Of what that race has accomplished are
wholly mistaken. The only features represented in
Egyptian sculpture are those Of slaves and captives
taken in Ethiopian wars Of the Pharaohs. The temples
and pyramids throughout Nubia, as far as the Daref and
Abyssinia, all bear no evidence in all the Valley Of the
Nile that the Negro race ever attained a higher degree
of eiviliza,i. n than is at present exhibited in Congo
and Ashantee. ! mention this, not from any feeling
hostile to that race, Tut simply to controyert an opinion
