ta Constitutionalst of Friday says:
We visited the works at kaolin lin South
Caroina) on Yesterday, and were pleased to
notice the enterprise and industry exhibited.
Tho crockcry manufactured there is fully
equal to tho best imported on made in any
portion OF our country, and needs only to he
seen and used, to bc appreciated, and the
works libcraily patronzcd.
We noticed some tests on Kaolin manu-
facturcd water pipe, aud while the test was
not made under favorable circumstances, the
plpc resisted n pressure of about fourteen
hundred pounds. We arc not prepared t.
express our opinion in favor of the general
introduction Of such pipe. but we have no
hesitation in saying that if such pipe will
answer for conveying water through our city
it is more desirable than iron or pine logs.

by the panic, and the greater caution induced
by it amongst the banks. VIC are rushing into
the excesscs which led to the rcvulsion of
that year. a good deal of the present spcc-

the war is to be a long continued one, and
that we are about to realize ready markets

"IoN," the reliable correspondent of the
Baltimore Suu, writes from Washington, un-
der date of the 2Sth, concerning the reported
robbery of So 900 900 by the Mexican Gen
e:al Robcs, as follows The reported sciz-
urc OF the cnndncta. with five millions of
treasure, by Gen. Roblcs, is misunderstood,
The parties shipping the treasure had already
paid six per cent export duty on the same to
the Miramon Government, ut Mexico. If it
reached era Cruz it would bc subjected bv
the Jnarez Government 90 another tax of
three hundred thousand dollars, upon tho col
lection of which that Government depended
for existence. Gen. ltnblcs was therefore
employed and instructed to escort the con
! ducta with n suitable force as he doubtless
! has done. to the nearest shipping port, out
of the reach of Juarez.
