says:
The Brooklyn has been ordered from
New York round to Norfolk, for the
purpose Of taking Mr.. McLane and
Consul Pickett to Vera Cruz. They
expect to sail this week, but may be de-
tanned longer. Mr.. McLane was 10th
to return without the ratification of the
treaty, and only yielded consent after
the Presidents repeated requests.
A temporary delay, to hear the latest
news from Mexico, was conceded on
this account. The purpose of sending

American and English Locomotives


The Valparaiso correspondent Of the
n. Y. Times Recently a trial
has been made in Santiago Of two
American and two English locomo-
tives, as to their power and speed
This was ordered by the directors Of
the Southern Railway, at the request
Of W. W. Evans, the American en-
gineer. A great deal of ill-feeling had
prevailed, and jealousy. Evans was
censured by some Englishmen for pre-
ferring American engines; they said
be wanted to favor his own country
men. The result of the trial Of speed
was, that the American engine did in
twenty-seven minutes what the Eng
lish was thirty-four minutes in doing;
and of the power trial, that the Amer.
lean took number of passenger and
freight cars and walked right up the
gradient and through the entire dis
cance; whereas the English, with the
same load, came to a dead halt, had
to uncouplo fifteen cars and leave
them; then went on, came again to a
halt, aud finally went back to the sta
ton. The Judge Of the occasion was
an English practical engineer named
Bales, who presided and judged
very fairly, the Yankees say.

SPRING PURIFIER.

THE warm spring weather succeeding the
bracing atmosphere of winter, relaxes the
entire muscular system, including that great
muscle, the heart; the circulation ofihe blood
becomes sluggish and irregular, not being
propelled as actively as nature requires,
through the lungs, there to exhale or cast off
its impurities and become oxidized and purl-
fed: fulness of the blood-vessels ensues,
attended with dull, drowsy, languId feelings,
and frequently dizziness and vertigo; the
blood becomes loaded with corruptions, which
sometimes finds partial vent in humors and
erup,ions Of the skin, and the liver partakes
Of the general inactivity Of the system. Dr.
DAVIS DEPURATIVE quickens and equal.

ulOus souls may howl and weep, over

orator-boiling over with "patrio'ism"-
made speech in that city recently, which
knocks ali Disunion calculations "into
cooked hat" of the smallest size. The
following is the speech, as reported by
Capt. Brooks, Of the Daily Herald:
Gentlemen and Ladies'! You're talkin'

Thar's that are flag a-wavin' up thar,

how yc a-goin' to divide that, eh! Are
ye goin' to give the Yankee to the Norf,
and the Doodle to the Souf? l say, bold
ly, il can't be did! [Applause.
And then thar's that stream OF water
ruuuiu' down thar, called the " Fathe of.
waters" how ye going to divide that?
Are ye a-goin' to dam it up with Mason
and Dixon's line? You can't do 1t!
{ Hear ! hear.
And thar's the railroad lying out thar;
how ye -goin' to divide that, eh! are you
goin' to tie it up with the Isothermal line!
You can't do it. (Sensation-1
And thar's all the fast hosses standin
round here; are ye a-goipg to run em
North, and run: 'em South, and run EN-
Fast, and run 'em West? Tremendous
applause.
And thar's all the handsome wimmen
round here how are ye goin' to divide
them? !? Are you goin' to give the old ones
to the ,NSDsff, NSDsf and the young ones to the
Souf? Wa-a.l, you don't! If you go to
thunder, ye can't dew-w-w it! Immense
enthusiasm !
And ,har's all the feathered tribes, and
