Paroisse d'Ibcrbille ce 26 Décembre 185L- \n\n The want of a uniform fee bill, prescribing the compensation to be allowed district attor neys, clerks, marshals, and commissioners in civil and criminal cases, is the cause of much vexation, injustice and complaint. I would re commend a thorough revision of the laws on the whole subject, and the adoption of a tariff of fees which, as far as practicable, should be uniform, and prescribe a specific compensation for every service which the officer may be re quired to perform. This subject will be fully presented in the report of the Secretary of trie Interior. In my last annual message I gave brieliy my reasons for believing that you possessed the constitutional power to improve the haibors ui our great lakes and seaeoast, and the naviga tion of our principal, rivers, and recommended tlut appropriations should be made for comple ting such as had already been commenced, and fo/comroeneing such others as might seem to the wisdom of Congress to be of public and general importance. Without repeating thu reasons then urged, I deem it my duly again to call your attention to this important subject. The works on many of the harbors were left in an unfinished state, and consequently ex posed to the action of the elements, which is last destroying them. Great numbers of lives and vast amounts of property are annually lost for want of safe arid convenient harbors ou the lakes. None but those who have been exposed to that dangerous navigation can fully appreci ate the importance of this subject. The whole northwest appeals to you for relief, and I trust their appeal will receive due consideration at your hands. The same is in a measure true in regard to some of the harbors and inlets on the sea coast. The unobstructed navigation of our large rivers is of equal importance. Our settlements are now extending to the sources of the great rivers which empty into, and form a part of the Mississippi, and the value of the public lands in those regions would be greatly enhanced by freeing the navigation of those waters from ob structions. In view, therefore, of this great in terest, I deem it my duty again to urge upon Congress to make such appropriations for these improvements as they may deem necessary. The survey of the Delta of the Mississippi, with a view to the prevention of the overflows that have proved so disastrous to that region of country, have been nearly completed, And the reports thertof are now in course of prepa ration, and will shortly be laid before you. The protection of our south-western fron tier, and of the adjacent Mexican States, agi nst the Indian tribes within our borders, has claim ed my earnest and constant attention. Con gress having failed, at the last session, to adopt my recommendation that an additional regi ment of mounted men specially adapted to that service should be raised, all that remains to be done was to make the best use of the means at my disposal. Accordingly, all the troops adapted to that service that could proper ly be spared from other quarters have been concentrated on that frontier, and officers of high reputation selectde to command them. A new arrangement of the military posts has also been made, whereby the troops are brought nearer to the Mexican frontier and to the tribes they are intended to overawe. , Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to realize all the benefits that are expected to result from these arrangements, but I have every reason to hope that they will effectually check their mar auding expeditions. The nature of the coun try, which furnishes little for the support of an army and abounds in places of refuge and con cealment, is remarkably well adapted to this predatory warfare; and we can scarcely hope that any military force, combined with the great est vigilance, can entirely suppress it. By the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo wo are bound to protect the territory of Mexico against the incursions of the savage tribes within our border "with equal dilligence and energy" as if the same were made within our territory, or against our citizens. I have endevoured to com ply, as fur as possible, with this provision of the treaty. Orders have been given to the offi cers commanding on that frontier to consider the Mexican territory and t its inhabitants as equally with our own entitled to their protec tion; and to make all their plans and arrange ments with a view to the attainment of this ob ject. Instructions have also been given to the Indian commissioners and agents among these tribes, in all treatise, to make the clauses de signed for the protection of our citizens apply also to those of Mexico. I have no reason to doubt that these instructions have been fully carried into effect. Nevertheless, it is probable that, in spite of all our efforts, some of the neighboring States of Mexico may have suffer ed, as our own have, from depredations by the Indians. To the difficulties of defending our own ter ritory, as above mentioned are superaded, in defending that of Mexico, those that arise from the fact that we have no right to station our troops within her limits, and that there is no efficient military force on the Mexican side to co-operate with our own. So long as this shall continue to be the case, the number and activi ty of our troops will rather increase than dimin ish the evil, as the Indians will naturally turn towards that country where they encounter the least resistance. Yet these troops are necessa ry to subdue them, and to compel them to make and observe treaties. Until this shall have been done, neither country will enjoy any se curity from their attacks. The Indians in California, who had previous ly appeared of a peaceable character, and dis posed to cultivate the friendship of the whites, have recently committed several acts of hostil ity. As a large portion of the reinforcements sent to the Mexican frontier were drawn from the Pacific, the military force now stationed there is considered entirely inadequent to its defence. It cannot be increased however, with out an increase of the array; and I again recom mend that measure as indispensable to the pro tection of tne frontier. I invite your attention to the suggestions on this subject, and on others connected with his Department, in the report of the Secretary of The appropriations for the support of the army during the current fiscal year ending 30th June next, were reduced far below the estimate submitted by the Department. The conse quence of this reduction is a considerable defi ciency, to which I invite your early attention. The expenditures of that Department, for «he year ending 30th June last, were $9,060, 268 58. The estimates for the year commen cing 1st July next, and ending June 30, 1853, are 07,898,775 83 ; showing a reduction of $1,161,492 75. The Board of commissioners, to whom the management of the affairs of the Military Asy lum created by the act of 3d March last was entrusted, tmva selected a site for the establish ment of an Asylum in the vicinity of this city, which has been approved by me, subject to the production of a satisfactory title. The report of the Secretary of the Navy will exhibit the condition of the public service un der the supervision of that Department Our naval force afloat during the present year has l»eeu actively employed in giving protec of be ed of A. to de the is ted two The torn bly sed ing such may tion to our widely extended and increasing commerce and interests in the various quarters of the globe, and our flag has every where af forded the security and received the respect in spired by the justice and liberality of our inter— course, and the dignity and power of the na tion. [To be Continued.] I'LA^IEMISC: SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1852. IM PRO VEMENTS Notwithstanding the misfortunes which our fowl nas suffered within the last two years, yet, at no former period perhaps, has it shown greater indications of prosperity than at present; several sufestantiaV^juildings are about being erected, while oth'èr and more extensive improvements are spo ken of—and this, too, at a period when money was never more in demand. Is there no way of getting a bank here THE RIVER AND BAYOU. . For the last week the river at this point has been rising, and since Sunday last has been run ning into the bayou, which, we hope we can an nounce in our next as being in navigable order. Cv~The capitol at Washington took fire a lew days since. It was fortunately soon suppressed, but not until the Congressional Library was de stroyed, valued at $150,000, besides damaging the building to a large amount. Oy Carvaja!, the Mexican revolutionary chief, who as stated in our last was about being success ful at the battle of Ceralvo, on hearing that the enemy was about being reinforced, retreated in disorder, suffering great loss, and eventually put ting the Rio Grande between him and harm. □^"Builders are referred to the advertisement of Lyau,, Davidson & Co. A~£Tr ORLEANS AND NASHVILLE RAIL ROAD. Some few weeks since, the General Council of New Orleans appointed three of their most public spirited citizens ( James Robb, \V. G. Kk.ndall and W. P. Ai wood ,) as a Committee to wait up on the Tennessee Legislature, and influence that State in the proposed Railroad between Nashville and New Orleans. Their mission was eminently successful. Upon their return to the city, they made a Report to the Mayor, from which we make the following extract : * Besides opening a communication to the Gulf, it supplies one with Memphis, by means of the road now building between Chattanooga, and without any material increase of distance over a direct line of Roads between these two cities. Assuming that Tennessee will make her portion of the Road, it only remains for New Orleans and Mississippi to do their part, and complete a great Road from New Orleans to the Tennessee, making a distance not exceed four hundred miles, and over a section of conn try in every way favorable to the construction of a road on a scale of very moderate outlay, and in an unusually short space of time. If this Road be started, and the work under progress, great impulse will at once be given to the various Roads now in projection, and in three or four years, New Orleans will be reach ed from Pittsburgh and the Korthern Lakes in sixty hours, Louisville in thirty hours, Nash ville and Memphis in twenty hours, Knoxville in East Tennessee, in forty hours, and Wash ton City in sixty hours It is needless to enlarge on what will be the probable growth and increase of New Orleans when she Becomes the terminus of this mag nificent system of Railroad communications, and it requires the exercise of no more than ordinary foresight to perceive that when this is obtained, New Orleans will speedily be made the great mart of trade with our Pacific pos sessions, and, in a very few years, build up a commerce that will elevate her to a scale of grandeur and importance, that will place her in the foremost rank with the first cities of the world. iïews from France. The telegraph gave us last week a very full account of the coup d'etat made by Napoleon; but in addition to these advices, we find in the Charleston papers the following particulars re ceived by the Baltic : > During the recent disturbances, the loss sustained by the army was one officer killed, and three wounded, and fifteen soldiers killed audone hundred and fifteen wounded. Fresh arrests were daily being made of the leaders of the Republican party. Louis Napoleon will be re-elected President by an immense majority. Changarnier and the other Generals are confin ed at Havre, awaiting their trial on the charge of exciting the soldiers to revolt Commodore A. P. Catesby Jones, U. S N.? who happened to be a spectator near one of barricades had his leg broken and a finger cut off. The Prince de Joinville and Duke D'Aumale, had gone to the frontier of Belgium, and raised the stan dard of revolt against Napoleon. Paris, by the 5th instant, had become perfectly tranquil, and no indications of the recent commotion were to be seen, with the exception of barri cades. Louis Napoleon bad issued an address calling on the people to go to the polls, and sta ting that he would freely submit to their de cision. The news from the other portions of Europe is unimportant Sinking of a Tennessee Mountain.—It is sta ted that a few days ago a portion of Walden's Ridge sunk with a noise resembling deep-toned thunder, leaving a huge gap in the timber that fringes the sides of the ridge, extending about two miles in a parallel direction with the top. The gap in the dense timber appeared to be about sixty or a hundred feet in width, and the fissure in the earth reached to an unknown depth, in which trees of the largest size were torn up, and enormous rocks, whL-h had proba bly laid concealed for ages, were rent from their primitive beddings and laid bare. The foun dation on which the mountain rests is suppo sed to have given away. Improved Rat Trap. — A trap for the catch ing of rats has been invented at Cincinnati!, of such a construction that any number of rats : . I may be taken in the trap, each animal, as he is ! i . ... 4l v , ' s I caught, resettmg the rap for the next comer. ! Kossuth's Speech. The press throughout the country is pub lishing the brilliant speech of K ossuth at the banquet in New York. We cannot think of giving the entire document. The great orator responded to this toast: "Hungary—Betrayed, but not subdued. Her call for help is an echo of our appeal against the might of the oppressor." While referring to Washington's policy; and asking whether it was to be the policy of the country now , he said: "Would it not be ridicu lous to lay the giant in the child's cradle, and to sing him to sleep by a lullaby ?" Again, referring to the close of the last cen tury : "Then your infant republic, composed of thirteen States, was restricted to the borders of the Atlantic—now your giant republic is spread to the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, and your territory is a world. Your right hand reaches Europe over the waves, while your left hand reaches over the Pacific, the East of Asia; and there amidst two great continents, you stand, in proud immensity, a world your self." A policy of non-intervention is the policy of a stand-still," says he, and adds: "But I am sure no citizens of the United States had, has, or ever will have, the wish to see this conntry degraded to the rooting vegt tationof a Paraguay, or the mummy existence of a Japan and China." Speaking of the doubts cast upon the jus tice of his cause, he said: "If the cause of my people is not sufficiently just to insure the protection of God, and the support of good willing men—then there is no just cause, and no justice on earth. Then the blood of no new Abel will move towards Heaven. The genuis of charity, Christian love and justice will mourningly fly the earth; a heavy curse will upon morality fall—oppressed men despair, and only the Cains of humanity walk proudly with impious brow, about the ruins of liberty on earth!" Here is a fine sentence: "Commercial inter eourlc is the most powerful locomotive of prin ciples." Here: his conclusion: "Sir, I have done. Conscious of no personal merit, I came to your shores a poor persecuted" exile, but you poured upon me the trimuph of weloome such as the world has never yet seen; and why? Because you took me for the representative ofthat principle of liberty whi^h God has destined to become the common ben efit of all humanity; and it is a glorious sight to se» a mighty, free powerful people, come forth to greet with such a welcome the princi ple of freedom even in a poor, persecuted, pen niless exi'e. Be blessed for it! Your gene rous deed will be recorded thro' all posterity; and, as even now millions of Europe's oppress ed nations will raise their thanksgiv.ng to God for the ray of hope which you by this, your act have thrown on the dark night of their fale: even so, through all posterity, oppressed men look to your memory as a token of God that there is a hope for freedom on earth, because there is a people like you to feel its worth and to support its cause." Kossuth in New York. —We see it stated that although the distinguished Magyar has been in the United States but ten days, he has received up to Saturday, the 18th inst., forty official addresses from public bodies, all congra tulating him on his arrival, and sympathizin in his cause; twelve especial invitations to visit different cities and towns as a guest, and more than 225 private letters from single individuals containing sentiments of the warmest characti both for him and for Hungary, and in some in stances also sending donations to the Hunga rian Fund, which it is proposed to raise in aid of her liberty. Letters are daily pouring in upon him, and his correspondence is immense not only in America, but in almost all the countries in Europe. Loan to Hungary. —The New York Tribune states that a responsible Loan CommitteeVill be organized in that city forthwith, "and the subscriptions to a Hungarian National Loan in sums of $100 and over, will be publicly called for; while contributions in larger or smaller amounts, in accordance with the plan outlined in Gov. Kossuth's speech, will find persons duly authorized by Gov. K. to receive them." Sound Sentiments. —It is so seldom that we find aught in the Vicksburg Sentinel to copy with approval, that we take pleasure in trans ferring to our columns, the following paragraph, relative to this distinguished patriot The Sentinel expresses its views with force and ability : "We shall regret much to have the convic tion forced upon us, that Kossuth has visited this country with the hope of inducing us to change our long-settled policy with respect to foreign nations. From the character of some of his reported speeches, since his arrival at New York, we must fear that he designs lending himself to the advocacy of the doctrine, that our Government should abandon its non-inter course principles, and take a direct and active part in European politics. If it be his design to popularize these views, we say at once, that we have no sympathy with the movement We reprobate it in the strongest terms. Our true policy is the same now as it was in the days of Washington. We must have no entangling alliances with the Governments of other coun tries. With the struggles for freedom every where, we can sympathize heartily; words of encouragement and hope, we need not withhold; the exiled patriot, from whatever land he comes, we can take to our hearts, and welcome to our hearthstones. Yet, we stilll hold that any armed intervention in the affiiirs of other nations, at any time, or upon any pretence, would inevitably lead to calamities of the most serious character, even if the liberties, we now fully enjoy, should fortunately survive so fatal a policy. £ roun< *> Wlt ^ t ' ie f° re wheels "of the bu<mv ttnnKnJ 'PU A. L 1 1 . « - ©&•/ A Jumper.— The Sunbury (Pa.) American tells wonderful stories of the jumping of a horse near that place. He leaped from one abutment of an unfinished bridge to another a distance of thirty-twofeet. On a subsequent day, after smashing a buggy all to pieces and spilling the driver and two ladies into the dusty road, he jumped twenty-three feet on risin-r ^ ac,ied ' . T ' ie ? e a *, e ™ t,ier hard stories, but they are printed, and therefore 0112ht to be bp iieved < g be " C At the New York banquet, the F e Soilers took possession of Kossuth. It is in the subjoined passage from the letter of the N. York correspondent of the Delta, which ap peared in last Evening's Edition of that jour nal. At the banquet of the Press, in New York, none but those representing the political free soil interest were present. That is the reason why President Fillmore was not toasted at the dinner, and why the name of Mr. Webster, by whose interference Kossuth was brought out of his state ofdetention in Turkey, was hissed. The freesoilers of New York are very polite to the national administaration. Kossuth's popularity had reached its culminating point before the freesoilers and all other rad cals had seized on his advent as their exclusive hobby. It is not their object to liberate oppressed na tions abroad, but to reduce to subjection States at home. They hate the south more than they love Hungary. They declare themselves for intervention, and if they can establish the poli cy in regard to foreign nations, they can do it as to the Southern States." A Fiery Trial. —The Honorable Rufus Choat, in his late speech in Boston, in referring to the stormy aspect of the political horizon in Europe, said: "It has seemed to me as if the prerogatives of crowns and the rights of men, and the hoarded up resentments and revenges of a thousand years, were about to unsheath the sword for a conflict, in which the bloou shall flow as in the Apocalyptic vision, to the bridles of the ho,rses, and in which a whole age of men shell pass away—in which the great beli of time shall sound out another hour—in which society itself shall be tried by fire and steel—whether it is of nature and of nature's God, or not !" O" The medical journals are giving an inter esting account of the transfusion, with the hap piest results, from the arm of a person in health into the veins of a woman who was at the very point of death from the effects of ex cessive hermorrage. The blood, furr.ishsd by a young gentleman, a medical attendant in the hospital where the case occurred, produced immediate restoration of all the powers of life, which seemed extinct. Amelioration continu ed, and the patient seems now well nigh resto red to perfect health. O* There is a knitting machine i»operation in Philadelphia, which knits three hundred and eighty stitches at each turn of a small crank, which crank may be easily turned by hand from one hundred to one hundred and fifty revolu tions per minute, making from forty to sixty thousand stitches per minute, or at the rate of about three million per hour. Strange! —It appears, says the National [rr teiligencrr, that at the dinner given to M. Kos suth by the gentlemen of the Press in New York, no toast was given in honor of the Pres ident if the United Slates; and it also appears that Mr. W ebster's-letter to the committee sta ting Iiis impossibility of being present or the occasion was hissed; but not, it is hoped, by any American present Now, we believe it to be true that the first movement made by anv pub lic man in Christendom for the release of Kos suth and his companions, from their imprison ment, was mad by Mr. Webster, in his letter to the American Minister at Constantinople in February last; and we think it altogether pro bable that, but for this letter and the influence which it produced in Turkey and elsewhere, Louis Kossuth, would still at this day, been a prisoner in Asia Minor. IT Dr. Noah Gilman, of Frankfort, Me., a temperence lecturer, has been fined $20 and costs, for having several gallons of rum con cealed in a flour barrel. # Social Intercourse. —We should make it a a principle to extend the hand of fellowship to every man who discharges faithfully his duties, and maintains good order—who manifests a deep interest in the welfareofgeneral society— whose deportment is upright, and whose mind is intelligent, without stopping to accertain whether he swings a hammer or draws a thread. There is nothing so distant from all natural claim, as the reluctant, the backward sympa thy—the forced smile—the checked conversa tion—the hesitating compliance, the well-off are too apt to manifest to those a little down, with whom, in comparison of intellect and prin ciple of virtue, they frequently sink into insic nificance.— Daniel Webster. Homely Chambermaids. —A gentleman at Manchester, N. IL, has had four applications for the place of chambermaids, the principal qualifications for which as advertised was that the incumbent must be as "homely as a hedge fence. The last applicant writes, "I am as homely as a hedge fence, and as virtuous as you please. The list has been closed. ET Constantinople has a population of about five hundred thousand souls. There is not a lamp in that great city, nor a name to any of the streets, neither is there a post-office or a mail route through all Turkey. They have thous ands of useless dogs, but no bells—the Moslems abominating the sound of a bell. O" It is said by political economists that a verry large majority of all men who enter into mercantile business sooner or later fail. A writer it the Providence Journal makes some calculations to show that the failure of nine tenths is directly attribute rather to a profuse expenditure Qf their gains in living beyond their incomes, and In rashly extended opera tions, undertaken to sustain such a career, than to (he generally unrequitting nature of busi ness pursuits. This is undoubtedly the truth. ItT A chemist of this city received for exam ination, a few days ago, a crystal of pure sul phur.
