MANIFEST DEsTINY.-The London Times of
the 9th ult., referring to American affairs, SAYS
the absorbtlen of the weaker republics of Cen.
trail and South America by the United States
cannot apparently be long delayed. Mexico
aud New Granada are not only ready to fall
from astural decay, but have actually COM
menced open movements in favor of u surrender
OF their nationality and Venezuela, although
recent events might seem to Indicate that she
has some inherent life, is on the road to a SINH
lar fate. The small immediate States of Nj
caragua, Costa RIGA, Salvador, Honduras and
Guatemala will be ready to 90 with the stream.
The only obstacle in their case, as well as in
that of New Granada, consists in the provisions
of the Clayton-Dulwe Treaty, which prohibit
the United States and Great Britain alike from
assuming control over any part Of Central
America; but movement is now on foot at
Washngto ton TO get that compact set aside if
possible.
PENSIONS TO WIDOWS AND ORPHANs.-The
President of the United States has promptly
signed the bill extending the provisions of the
first section of the act of Sd February, 1853, so
as to continue for life to the widows the halt.
pay allowed by said act, and, where there are
no widows, to the children under sixteen years
OF age. Widows receiving pensions under
special acts are also included in this benefcient
measure.
MOUNT VERNON.-Mr. Melville, of Miss,
has sent from thirteen small counties of that
State 81 29l for the Mount Vernon Fund. MIR.
Greger, Of Miss, has RENTED $3.50, and S6jI
have been added from Alabama. This is nobly
done. But where is our Delaware lady move
ment!
THE CRops-The crops throughout the coun.
try are said to be growing finely, and the last
few days of hot weather has had wonderful
effect in maturing their growth. There is
cvcryS indication Of an abundant Weld Corn
is the only backward crop, but the present rate
oftemperature will effect wonderful improve
ment in it.
Q5-"Ah, Mr.. Simpkins we have not chairs
enough for our company" said gay wife to
her frugal husband. "Plenty Of chairs, ducky,
but a little too much company" replied MIR.
Slmpkins, with knowing wink.
