CANDIDATES FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS UNDER
HONEST OrD ABE.-For the last five or six
years all the republican journals in this city,
and great many Of their followers outside,
have been putting forward the name Of James
Gordon Bennett for foreign mission under
previous administrations. Some Of them named
him for the mission to France, some to England,
some 10 Sardinia, some to Russia, some to
Austria, and others-the more good natured
ones--to Plum Gut or Salt river. They Of
fered to recommend, TO endorse, to puff that
gentleman for any Of these missions--that is,
many of them did so, and a few did other
wise; but most of them did not do otherwise.
We begin now to see the motives of these
kind individuals In recommending Mr.. Ben
nett for this distinction, for we perceive that
every republican newspaper Office in the city
has host of candidates for foreign missions
and consulships. The Tribune has half a
dozen; the Courier has as many more. The
Post has its asprants, too; for although II
attempts to conceal the fact, yet II sticks out
very plainly; while the whole Times Office,
from Signor Jenkins Raymond down, is in q
wild hunt after foreign appointment Thus,
while they were urging the appointment of
their contemporary, as member Of the press,
at the hands of former administrations, they
we're only thinking Of themselves when The
spoils should fall within their grasp. They
may make themselves perfectly content, how
ever about the foreign appointments, for the
frat cousins, the second cousins, the third ou
sins. The fourth cousins and the law partners
of the leaders will get them all.

A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT FROM LONDON
EXPECTED IN THIS CoUSTRY.-We perceive by
the English papers that DR.. Russell, the
Crimcsn correspondent Of the London Times,
who was also the correspondent of that journal
during the terrible revolution in India, Is
coming out to this country TO describe the
revolution going on here. This fact shows
what deep interest our revolutionary pro-
ceedings possess for the public mind La
Europe.

notwithstanding our enormous resources, we
are incompetent to carry on either government
or commerce. We must then take our place
on the roll of nations by the side of Spain and
Holland, and our country may perhaps revert,
AS distracted colonies, to the protectorate Of
the British empire.

A SIGNIFICANT ITEM FROM THE SoUTH.-Since
the establishment of the Southern contederacy
there have been good many manifestations of
its progress as an independent government; the
latest, however, being the adoption of the clear
ance system in the New Orleans Custom House
for the river steamers running on the Missis-
sippi to ports In the States which have not en-
tered the new confederation? Thus we find
among the New Orleans clearances for Satur-
day, March 9, the following steamboats,, bound
TO cities in the non-seceded States Of Arkansas,
Missouri and Kentucky
CLEARED
Steamboat Jas. johnson, for Nashville, Tcnn.-B. DUFF
Steamboat Ira No. Z, Moore, for Camden, Ark.-Nas
Steamboat Hannibal, Lee, for ST. Louis, Mol ID Fu-
kerson.
Steamboat Ford Kennett, Briefly for 81. Louis, Mo-
stesnboa, 4. TwcheIl, Phelps, for s.. Louis Mo-
]. u. Fukerson.
|. Steamboat Poytona, Leyden, for Louisville r.
Pei n Co.
This is the frst time that river steamers on
Western waters were obliged to obtain clear
ances; but ss these boats are now looked upon
in the light OF vessels sailing for foreign
ports, of course such an obligation is consider
ed necessary, and II is very significant of the
change which has already taken place in the
relations between the two sections OF the
country.
European imports arriving at New Orleans,
or any other city within the limits of the South
ern confederacy, and paying the low duty pre-
scrlbed by the Southern tariff, will unquestion-
ably be shipped by these Mississippi boats to
| oil points in the Northwestern and the border
States, without any regard for the exorbitant
| provisions of the Northern Morrill, tariff, which
takes effect on the LIST Of next month; and how
will il be possible for the government at Wash
ington TO prevent its What complicated
Custom House system on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, the Missouri and the Ohio rivers would
be required TO intercept this traffic, or to collect
the Morrill, tariff duties on foreign merchandise
entering New Orleans or Mobile, before II
could reach all the points in the Northern con-
| fedcracy, as far North as ST. Paul Minnesota,
and rs far East as Pittsburg. There are no re-
sources ut the command Of tho country equal
| 10 the maintenance Of such revenue force "a
would be necessary to guard this line. 1t il
evident that the West and Northwest, as we'll
as the border slave States Of Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia, will re-
ceiye their supplies Of foreign merchandise
subject to the moderate imposts of the Southern
tariff, thus contributing TO the revenue OF the
Southern government instead Of to the North
crn, and the profits on importations TO the
Southern merchants instead OF to the importers
Of New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1861-03-16

cy. has been started on . somewhat extensive
scale. 1t il expected that the execution Of the
Morrill, Tariff bill viii compel Northern merchants
to DO their importing at Charleston, Savannah
and other Southern cities. and the brokers and
storage men down South are making their ar
rangements accordingly.
The Gotten market was firm yesterday but mot active
the sas embraced about 500 900 bales clsicg the
basis q ii,,c Isc for micdlirg upands With little to
be had under tbs latter figure. The advces from the
South continue represent falling of in tho receipts
Many OF the crop have settled 70 900
bales 600 below the yield OF the previous year
The for aour WAS decidedly irmer, with good
demand from the trade Including purchases for ex
port. Wheat sold with moro frmness while ssies

SPEAKING of the errors of the press, Mr.
Pycrott relates in his Ways and Words OF
Men of Letters conversation he had
with printer. Really" said the printer,
gentlemen should not place such unlimited
confidence in the eye-sight of our hard-work-
ed and half.blnded reader Of proofs for
am ashamed TO say that we utterly rnned
one poet through ludicrous mispriuI."
Indeed and what was the unhappy liner
Why, sir, the. poet intended TO say See
the pale martyr in sheet of fire; - instead
Of which we made him say-'See the pale
martyr aoith his shirt on fire I" OF course
the reviewers made the most of blunder
so entertaining to their readers, aud the
poor gentleman was never heard of more in
the field of literature"

SCoTT AND TAYLOR III answer to cor
respondent, an excbange paper says:-
"More soldiers were lost under Scott than
Taylor, for the reason thai he commanded
the largest division of the invading army
and it may be added, was engaged IN many
more battles than the deceased Elk Presi-
dent. II we take into consideration the
number of men in the two great divisions
of the army, Tsylor'S loss was greater than
Scotts. For example: At the battle OF
Buena Vista, there were 4.759 men eDga-
ged, aud the number killed was 267, the
wounded 456, aud the missing SO, making u
total of 476. Gen. Scott is remarkable for
the caution with which he moves bis men.
avoiding, whenever it is possible. the sacri-
fee of life. The grand total Of lossess un-
der General Scott, from the capture OF Ve-
ra Cruz until be entered the city of Mexico,
was 3,7O3. including 1888 officers. of which
number 2,340 were reported wounded aud
missing.

Did We but know what les beyond
This strange mysterious path we tread,
How often w0u our souls despond.
Our eyes tho tear of sorrow shed
But God, who knows what's best to do
Who sees Us from his starry throne;
Has wisely hidden from our view
That which had best remain unknown.
We walk 70 day In conscious pride.
And hang the flag ofhOpe on high,
But ahl tomorrow from our side
Some friend may turn away to die:
Some flower that won our morning praise,
Some altar where we build our irust---
May fade ere dies the evening rays
May trampled be and laid In dust
Youtl dreams Of many beamng things
As on he HES DER Pleasures track;
Each nay some new horn promise brings,
He turns no eye Of sorrow back;
The now'ry fields are all before.
His eyes on some dear star are set
Life is 10 him sunny shore,
He'll learn il ha its shadows yet.
Tomorrow In thy secret shade
little know what lies Tor me;
may be with my fathers laid,
Or wreck'd ON rude MisiOrtune's seal
But far beyo Iife's boundary lives
The everlasting army bright
And HE alone who takes or & YES
