Navy Officers.

The bill which was lately introduced into the

crease and newly arrange the salaries Of Navy Off
GERS passed on the 29th instant A similar bill has
been introduced into the House, and there IS bright
prospect that something viii be done in Congress
before the close of the session matter of justice
already too long dcferred-to the officers ot our
navy The pay of the army was handsomely M
creased two or three years ago, the ground that
the increased price of subsistence justified il; and
reciselv the same reasons exist for increasing the
Davvpav. Twenty-Five years ago the prices of oil
the pecessaries of life were not onehalf Of their
uresent value, and yet the pay of navy officers ia
the same now that it was at that time. 1t Is to be
boped that this governing consideration viii be no
LONGER overlooked by Congress. Perhaps no officers
of the Federal Government serve their country
more faithfully at home and abroad, or suffer more
invitations in their protacted cruises upon foreign
shores than our navy officers certainly few OF
them are so poorly paid. We hope our delegation
from Tennessee viii lend the measure helping

The Mexican CoIIIsIo5.


The New York Times, publishes variety of doc
uments translated from Vera Cruz papers, calcula-
ted to throw some light upon the recent capture of
two war steamers by vessels of the American
squadron of Vera Cruz.
The fact that MARIN, an ex-oficer of the Mexican
navy, fitting out an expedition in Havana, with
the connivance and aid of the Cuban authorities to
aid the MRANON party, seems to have been known
for time in Mexico, and on the 25th of Februa
Ry the JAUREz Government issued circular. charac
terizing this as a violation of right and declaring
that MARIN and his associates would be regarded
and treated pirates TWAS in fact an expedition
outside Of the law-just as WALKERS expedition to
Nicaragua, upon the invitation Of one of the con
tending parties in that country regarded as be-
yond the law, and was treated. both by our own
vessels and those of all other friendly powers.
Moreover our Government has recognized that of
JUAREz as entitled to speak for Mexico-and we are
therefore bound to accept its declaration concern
ing the character of vessels claiming Mexican rights
As conclusive. These vessels had abandoned the
Spanieh flag on leaving Havana and on reaching the
open sea had hosted the Mexican flag to which they
had clearly no right. The statement of the prison
ers taken on board establishes this fact.
IL IS not easy 70 see, therefore, from what quar-
ter complaint is to come of the action of the Amer
lean officers. The Spanish Government cannot as
sert the right of these vessels Spanish ships for
they had hauled down the Spanish flag and refus-
/ ed to raise that or any other when summoned to
do So The JUAREz Government cannot complain,
for we acted upon the views of its circular of Feb
%. directing the vessels of all friendly powers to
treat MARN's ships pirates. And MIRANON is
powerless because we have never recognized him
as at the head of the Mexican Government. We
do not see that anybody can censure the act of our
naval officers except those at hOme who doubt
their power to do they did, or those who desire
to make their action matter of reprOach against
the Administration. The question of power is
70 be determined by law. And as Mr.. BUCHANAN
seems to have known nothing whatever about
the affair IN til it over, and is quite guilt
less of responsibility for it in any way, neither
praise nor blame can fairly he awarded him on ac-
count of it.
The latest Geographic intelligence reports MIRA
MON to have been utterly routed at Vera Cruz, and
the Liberals in possession of the Capital If this be
true we shall probably hear, long, of the COM
plete establishment of the authority of the Liberals

The Legislature and the Ranks.

The House of Representatives yesterday
amended and passed on its final reading the
bill to re-charter the Bank of FARMLAND, at
Knoxville, the Merchants and Planters
Bank at Memphis, the Bank of GAINESVILLE
and the Bank Of Middle Tennessee al Leba-
non. The Union and Planters Banks were
also authorized to establish Branches at Pur-
dy, Waynesboro, Chattanooga, McMinnville,
Huntsville and Livingston. These measures,
with the exception of the Bank of Middle
Tennessee, originated in the Senate, and were
returned TO that body for final action and the
amendments were promptly concurred in, aud
they are now the law of the land. They
passed by such majorities as wonld indicate
that the present is the best Bank Legislature
that has assembled in this State for years.
The idea Of repealabiliiy and individual liza
bility. so much haIped on during the last
canvass, may be considered as thoroughly
exploded, as well as the still more absurd
notion, that prosperous people can dispense
with sound aud well regulated mixed cur
rency. We hope now, the Bank question is
Settled

Reef.tratfon Of Births, Marriages
and Deaths,

There is bill now pending before the Lee
pisiature, introduced in the Senate by DR.. G..
B. PETERS, Senator from Hardin, M'Nairy and
Uard.map. which deserves the hearty COM
mendation and support of every Representa-
tive in the General Assembly. Every physi-
clan of our city should make it special duty
to use his hearty endeavOrs to influence its
passage. Taking into view the important in
fuence whictrthe passage of such a law would
have on the future practice of medicine in
this State, on account of the value OF the
medical statistics, or, in other words the vast
number of statistics which would be collect
ed in relation to the health of the people as
affected By our peculiar climate, by our hab-
its, institutions, occupations, &C.; it would
seem that our physdons, leaving out Of view
the citizens themselves. would see at once
the great importance OF The subject Though
il is believed that our doctors Of medicine
sufficiently informed on the subject, and are
aware OF its importance, still their lnkewarm-
ness and silence on the matter, argues i'll for
the success of the measure, for il cannot be
supposed that the members of our General
Assembly, engrOssed with SO many other i'm
porlant public measures, can take the same
interest, or inform themselves as well as
those (phy sicians) who are supposed to have
made such subjects specialities of study. 1t
is therefore hoped that our physicians will
come up to the rescue and rOrk for the pas
cage of The bill. Tennessee has been behind
long enough in this regard, seeing that her
sister State-Kentucky-bas succeeded go
admirably in her system of registration and
furnished such excellent annual reports un-
der the leadership of that prince OF statisti-
clans, Dr. WV. L. SUTTON, of Georgetown.
The Kentucky Registration Law has been in
operation since 1852, and has produced to the
present time eight admirable reports. The
States of Maine, Connecticut, Vermont. Cali
fornia, New York, Pennsylvania, Louisiana,
Wisconsin and Michigan have had Registra-
tion laws under the consideration The State
of Massachusetts, commenced its registration
reports in Is43, and has produced fifteen or
sixteen eTninently valuable, useful, aud sci
entifc annual reports, chiefly prepared by
Jso. G. PALFRzY, Esq, and DR.. NATHANIEL B.
SHUKTIKFF, both of Boston. New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, South Carolina,
and perhaps several Others, have laws on the
subject, and make G,.auai reports, and why
should not our beloved old State of Tennes
see, which is, in many. great many, public
improvements, SO far ahead of some of the
other Western States. Below is given the
Memorial of the State Medical Society, and
the bill now before the Legislature.
