Opening OF rehuantapec.

The steamship Quaker City sailed from N
Orleans, on Wednesday last, 9th ult., as the
pioneer steamer on the transit route across
the Isthmus of Tehuantapec. She is in the
service Of the company of which the Hon.
Emile La SERE is President, and viii depart
regularly on the 18th and 9th of each month.
Some fifteen months since the Company set
about improving the navigation of the river
( Coatzacoaicos, which they accomplished for
practical purposes as far as Suchil, 81 miles.
They have also constructed stage road from
Suchil to Ventosa on the Pacific shore, a dis
lance of lI2 miles. The steamer Oregon
connects the service between Ventosa and
Acapulco, where the ships of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company will take the mails, pas
sengers and freights to San Francisco. The
port on this side is Minatitlan, at the mouth
of the Coatzacoalcos-the distance overland
across the Isthrnus is 1919 miles-87 by river
steamer and / IL by stage. 1t is the intention
: of the company to build Railroad for this
transit. Under present arrangements 1t is
claimed that this route will save days OF
time between San Francisco and New Orleans
over any other. The n. o. papers are eio-
quent in support of the enterprise, holding
that its Inauguration and successful opera
ton will mark a new era in the commercial
prosperity of that city. The claim is GER
tainly well-foundcd, if the trip from ''the
States'' to California is shortened days. 1t
will shortly become the great thoroughfare
for business and travel between the two great
oceans - y. -

Commercial Failures.

At occasional intervals we see tables of
Commercial Futures" going the rounds of the
newspapers, generally without credit. The
last one that we have met appears in the Mem
phis Ledger, of last Thursday, purporting to
give the number and amount OF failures that
have occurred in the United States and Ter
ritories, for six months from the first of April
to the first of October, 1858. In this table
the number of failures in Tennessee is stated
at SO, amounting to 81 ,050,000. In noticing
this statement we have only to say that we
have no information which would justify it.
There have been a few bank suspensions with
in the last six months, bat we doubt if their
whole Indebtedness of every description, with
out the payment of single dollar, were count
ed, the amount would not reach to that stated
by the Ledger. We have no idea that the cred
itors of Tennessee business men have lost ten
per cent. of l,O50.00O in the last six months
The mercantile corps of Tennessee take rank
among the most prompt aud solvent in the
country. Notwithstanding the deranged state
of our currency, the enormous rate of ex-
change, and the general depression of trade,
there was not mercantile failure in Nash
vile, rOr one of any consequence in the State,
during the commercial tornado of last TALL.
We apprehend the Ledger has been misled
in the making of its table-and inasmuch as
such statements tend to weaken the credit of
the State and it's commercial men, we call its
attention to the fact.

UNEXPECTED ENDoRsEMENT.-W learn from
the Boston papers that the democrats of
Wards and 6, of that city, held meetings on
the 23d ult., to elect delegates to the Sena-
torial and Councillor Conventions. At the
caucus in Ward 6, Mr.. j. ID. McGill offered
the following resolution, which was warmly
supported by Hon. B. F. HALLETT, and adopt
ed by the meeting:-
'Wbereas, the Democracy of Ward regard
the defeat of Henry Wilson as of paramount
Importance; therefore,
Resolved, That all national men, of what
ever name should unite to effect an object so
dear to every patriots heart; and to attain
this laudable consummation. we recommend
our delegates to the coming Conventions to
support only those national men most likely
to be chosen to the next Legislature, whether
American, Wing. or Democratic.
Resolved, That we urge similar course on
all Unionists of the City and State"
Here is not only confession of the exist
ence of the American party in Massachusetts,
but an endorsement of its nationality and
conservatism, by B. F. HAlLETr one of the
great northern Oracles of the democracy
After this we shall expect to hear nothing
more of that miserable whine which is occa-
