IMMIGRATION FEEDJNG OUR UNION ARaIEs.--As
an offset to the hegira of o few Irish and
Germans endeavoring to escape the draft, we
have TO mention the satisfactory fact that the
newly arrived emigrants from both countries
are helping TO Gil up tho call for the three
hundred thousand volunteers. Dat of the
Storage passengers OF the City OF Baltimore,
on her last trip, upwards Of forty enlisted in the
Union ranks Immediately on their arrival.
Some of these were British soldiers who had
served their time, aud who viii prove valua.
BILE accession amongst our raw levies. Taking
the arrivals and departures Of one company
alone-the Liverpool, New York and Philadel-
phia line-the returns show that we ore receiv.
ing three emigranss Of this class for every two
that leave us. In three months the aggregate
OF arrivals by this line has been $500, and of
departures 1850. If, taking the proportion
that enlisted from the City OF Baltimore as o
basis we calculate the total number or recruits
that have been furnished ms from this source, 1t
will BIO seen that we can very well afford to
dispense with the services Of the potroons who
exhibit such craven fear OF being called into

prise Of our people. Capitalists are as ready
as ever 10 embark in any speculation that offers
q fair chance Of profit. AS an evidence Of this we
notice the fact that the Nicaragua route is to be
opened in October by private company,
steamers being already advertised to run both
~ this and the Pacific side. Various other pro-
jects OF similar character are in progress Of

gratifying fact We may add that our exports
Tor the fiscal year, excluding cotton, will amount
to over one hundred millions Of dollars. Can
there be more conclusive proofs that the North

The difference between the President and
these men is that he is practical, and, besides,
adheres to the constitution. They are always
in the clouds, would overthrow the constitu-
ton and launch the republic, without chart,
compass or rudder, upon sea Of anarchy. But
Mr. Clay and men like him ought not to be
perni ted to assal the war, to discourage enlist
ments, and to SOW the seeds Of strife and division
at the North, when thorough union is absolutely

The latest nrws from Mexico received

lion On the part Of the clergy to cooperate
with the French in their expedition against
that country. a Catholic clergyman is said
to have in lis possession a. letter from Vera

prelates-thc A7chbishops Of Guanaxnato,
Merida, San Luis, Guadalajara, and Mexico
had written d letter Of welcome to Gen.
Forey, offering him the support Of the whole

also says that the priests, who exercise con-
trolling influence upon the great mass Of the
atatiycs, had been Instructed to prepare them
for the reception Of the French, and that they
were at work fulfilling their task with zeal
and devotion.
This announcement is said to have impaired
