TIE Cow. w.TREE.-Baron Humboldt gives
the following description of this tree
On the barren flank of rock grows tree
with dry and leathery leaves; its large
woody roots can scarcely penetrate into the
stony soil. For several months in the year
not single shower mostens its foliage. Its
branches appear dried and dead; yet as soon
as the trunk is pierced, there flows from 1t a
sweet and nourishing milk. 1t is at sunrise
that this vegetable fountain is most abun-
dant The natives are then seen Fastening
from all quarters. furnished with large bowls
to receive the milk, which grows yellow and
thickens at the surface. Some drain the
bowls under the tree, while others carry
home the juice to the children; and you
might fancy. as the father ri turned home
with the milk, you saw the family of a shep.
herd gathering around and receiving from
him the production Of his kline. The milk
obtained by incision made in the trunk is
tolerably thick, free from all acidity, of an
agreeable and balmy smell. 1t was offered
to US in the shell of calabash tree We
drank q considerable quantity of it in the
evening before we went to bed, and very early
in the morning, without experiencing the
slightest injurious effect.

HISTORY OF THE PANAMA RAILROAD. BY DIR.
j. N. Otis. New YORK: Harper q Bros, Phila-
deiphia Agents: j. b. Lippincott 90.
DR.. Otis, out Of a very uninteresting sub
ject, has succeeded in manufacturing very
interesting book. His history of the Panama
Railroad is authentic, as well as pleasant
reading. With but few facts to weave together,
the writer, by his happy description of scenery
and valuable statements as to the people, soil,
and fruits of the Isthmus, has redeemed from
stupidity narrative which, as a mementO to
American industry, deserves place in all our
libraries. The road, although it has been in
full operation for thirteen years, has never yet
had carefully prepared history of its con-
struction. II is record Of determination and
skill of which we may all feel justly proud.
During the time it has carried passengers,
four hundred thousand persons have been trans
ferred from ocean to ocean on its rails, and not
a case Of sickness has occurred. It has had
under its care seven hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, and not cent has been lost. This
is clear record, and one which few Of our
roads in the most civilized portions of our coun-
try could compete with. The book is filled
with excellent wood-cuts, illustrating striking
features of scenery, and is well printed and
neatly bound.

LATEST FROM MEXICO-AN EXTRA
ORDINARY PARLIAMENT TO DE-
eide THE FATE OF TIRE EMPIRE.
From the \. 0. Times, Dec q.


The steamship Alliance, Capt Staples,
arrived at this port yesterday from Vera
Cruz. She brings dates to the Dist inst,
three days later than those obtained bv the
steamship Mexico.
Capt. Staples reports everything quiet at
Vera Cruz. From the circular issued by
the ministers of Macmillan, and published
in the La Verdad, of the Dist inst, we
CLEAN some items Of interest.
Macmillan has accepted the throne of
Mexico in Difference to the wishes of the
people, and asks the cooperation Of the in.
habitants generally in the pacifcation Of
the country. The ordinary and extraordi-
nary sources of the revenue having been
deranged, the Ministers state that every
thing possible will be done to place them
in brief period in regular operation.
The Emperor hopes that guarantees will
be obtained, and strong and powerful ar
engagements made for the perpetuation Of
peace. The long continued civil war had
depressed the national energies, and had
thrown great obstacles in the way of col
lectiEg and making proper use Of the mil
itary resources. And while in this cOndi-
ton, the announcement that the Emperor
Napoleon, for political reasons, would no
longer continue his alliance and the sup
port which he had formerly extended, made
it incumbent upon the people Of the coun-
try to protect themselves and their insti-
buttons from the numerous bands of muir
derers and indictments The approaching
departure of the French aHxilliaries might
encourage these disturbers of the peace,
and would demand greater exertion than
usual from the friends and defenders Of the
government.
The revolution had left the country
without those complete defenses which are
requisite for peace, prosperity and happi-
ness. This might inspire with confidence
the enemies of order and induce them TO
make further efforts for the destruction of
the country, but it was hoped that the pa
triotism of the better portion of the commu-
nifty would be successful in ayerting all
danger.
The attitude of the United States, and its
opposition to the formation of a monarchy
and the intervention of Europe was looked
upon with disfavor, and was a cause Of sor-
row to the Emperor.
The Emperor had announced his deter
mination to call together an extraordinary
parliament, in view of the contingencies
arising out Of the Franco-American medi-
alton, and the situation of the country, and
would leave to it the question of excluding
or continuing the monarchy.
We find in La Verddd no confirmation
of the embarcation of the French troops.

GOV. PATTON IN WASHINGTON
WHAT ~ SAID OF HIM.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--Gov. Patton,
Of Alabama, whose arrival was telegraphed
last night, states to-day that, as basis OF
settlement he is in favor of the ratification
of the constitutional amendment by every
Southern State There are objections
which he entertains TO some portions of it,
but he has decided to earnestly advocate
its adoption on the ground that il affords
the only opportunity for the South to
escape from the legislation which Congress
threatens to enforce, in the event of the
failure of the amendment
Gov. Patton says that between negro suf-
frage and the amendment, the people of
Alabama will not hesitate to choose the
latter
He brings with him resolutions passed
at public meeting, held at Florence, Ala
bama, in which they declare their con-
fidenCe in the Governor, and requested
him, in company with such eminent citi-
zens Of the State as he might deem it pro-
per to select, to proceed to Washington and
there confer with the authorities, and as
certain, if possible, whether the acceptance
ofthe amendment will certainly be followed
by the restoration of the States, in which
event they say they are in favor of the
adoption Of this amendment, believing it
far better thus to settle our relations grow
ing out of the late war, than to risk years
Of strife to secure better terms.
Governor Patton will remain in Wash
ington until after the reassembling Of Con-
gress, in order that he may confer with the
members, and ascertain whether he can
assure the people of Alabama that the
State will be admitted upon the ratification
of the amendment. The Governor has had
an audience with the President on the sub
iect of the resolutions referred to.
