i\*:w YORK HERALD. I Vurk. naiiilHf, <<i'pterah*r !4H, IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. VIGOMS PROSECUTION OF TDC WAR AGAINST IHIIXICO. We learn that General Gaines hn* received or- ; ders from Washington, for the immediate transportation of all the troops now stationed in this division to the seat ol' war, on the llio Grande.? The orders are positive and peremptory, and a Corporal's Guard only is to_ be left at each ot , the (oris and fortifications. What does this indicate ? ii i* lor opinion, iiitfv uie receiu uusjmicues received at Washington from Mexico, are uf such a character as to constrain the government to j "conquer a peace" without any more absurd ! ceremony with the Mexicans. We think that we have shown forbearance enough, and we must now surround our ioolish enemy, and draw the military lines closer and closer around the city ol Mexico, till the government of that infatuated country sues, like a whipped braggart, for peace. We hope that the authorities at Washington will ' now see that the time for trilling is past. While those new and important movements are I making at the north, what is General Taylor doing in the south T According to the news received yesterday, and published in full on the outside of this day's : Htrald, our forces were advancing rapidly to Monterey ; and us it was reported that General Ampudia had reached that point with (rom five to ten thousand troops, there may yet be another battle between Old Rough and Ready ami the Mf-xicans. This is now the general expectation, and the wext advici-s from that section will, therefore, be anxiously looked lor. Our troops were in excellent condition. Ti.us it appears that we ar? in 'he midst of ; pipii.jj times again Hfcniii. r (unit Western. This str-amer is now in her sixteenth d ly, and may, thereiore, l?e hourly expected to arrive.?

We have always been desirous of directing the public mind to it, and for that purpose have from time to time devoted a portion of our columns to i ts elucidation and explanation. In order to point out the innumerable ad antoges that would accrue to the United States from the completion of a work like this, in the plainest manner possible, so " that he who runs can read," we have gone to the expense of j having a map engraved, which shows the geographic position of the United States on the Globe, and also the distances from Europe to Asia and the East, by steam, via sea and ra.ilroad across ( our continent. This map our readers will find on | the first page or this day's Hirald. We recommend them to preserve it as a valuable reference, as it points out lor the first time, our true geographica' pu^.i ^n. Jt will be *een that we are geographically situa- ' ted in the very centre of the world. On the one side we have Europe, with a population of nearly two hundred and fifty millions of human beings, and a superficies of four millions seventy-five thousand lour hundred and twenty- j five square miles ; and Africa with a supposed area of twelve millions of tquare miles, and a population supposed to amount to sixty millions? j making a population on one side of tis of three hundred and ten millions of people. We then j crossover to the continents of North and South America?the former of which contains an area of nine millions and seventy-eight thousand squaie miles, and a populat.on of 33,748,000, and the latter an area of fi,676,0Ci) square miles, and a population of 15,497,840 people ; both containing a greater quantity ofcultivatable land,than the rest of the world besides. The most direct route from Europe to our continent, is from latitude 50 north to 41. On the other side of us we have, at a distance of some five thousand miles from our westernmost boundary, the whole of Asia and Australia, comprising an area of 18,243 000 square miles, and a population of over seven hundred millions of human beings. The population of .Europe, on the one side is above the 40th parallel of north latitude, and on the other side two-thirds of the popution of Asia lie i^rUi of the 20th parallel af north latitude. Mr Whitney proposes to connect Europe and Asia by stenin across our continent, by means of a great railroad to the Pacific?passing over a distance of some twenty-four hundred 1 niles, through a territory, now a wilderness, contaimnAgeil unequalled for richness and fertility, but ^^Hhftunot be settled by civilized man, in of ?llannel? commu,ucatim!^VtBP^na'' would make u* the centre, and be itself^^Wnoroughfare for both. Let us see how much it would shorten the communication, between England and China as an example. The sailing distance by the old way, around Cape Horn, is generally computed to be eig .teen thousand mile?,and taking from four to six months to accomplish it. By a railroad across the United States the distance would be as follows, vis .? Kr?m England to Naw York ... 3,400 mile* From New Fork to tha mouth of the Columbia, or to Kan Krancisco bay, - S.OflO " From either ol these placet to China direct, A 400 " Making the total distance, * * - 11 900 miles. Or a saving of mor* than six thousand miles in point of distance. Let us see how much quicker in point of time the con?ction between these far distant countries woi^T b? by railroad. At fifteen miles per hour, as is proposwd for the steamers, it will require eight and a halfdnys from England to New York, or other ports; But say 10 days. From New York to the Pacific. 3,000 miWa. by railroad, at 30 miles per hour, allowing one day for detention, .... a " From the Pacific coast to < hang hae in China, month of the Yang ue keang, which crotaei Ik. rul?n>lklun -II !.. * the vast empire centre*. it fi 40u milu* . ?t 14 mile* per hour, (which can be performed < exily oq the Pacific a?

As the voyage, as now performed, taken at the I leant four month*, or 120 days, we have a saving of eighty-nine days in favor ol the railroad. These tables refer to the communication between Europe and Ctiina. Let us see how it would affect the communication between the United States and Chiua. The distance belwucn New V oik and China, at th? royaire it now iicrforoied, is 19,000 mile* By raiiroau, xc, froin New York to the Columbia, 3.100 \ndtc chins, .... 5,400 8,400 miles. Or a d.fl jrence of nearly ten thousand miles. And the number of days in which the distance would be accomplished is twenty-one. So that, in fact, we would l>o within twenty one days of 1 China. What tremendously important and magnificent reflections are suggested i?

It vanishes, as if by the wand of an enchanter. We take her place, and the at once becomes tributary to us Where is the mistress of the seas, with her extensive commercial marine, when this road is completed?a city or cities built on the Pacific,and a free and frequent intercourse opened with Chi- i na, the East, the coast of Mexicoand South America?the islands in the Pacific, Manilla, Australia, Java, and the Indian Seas, and all India? The plan by which Mr. Whitney proposed to construct this road is by disposing of the lands, for money and labor, in such amounts as shall suit the ability of the settler, so that every man in our country, however small his means, and all the over population of all tho old world, can have a home, with industry, of plenty, comfort, virtue and j happiness, placed directly in the centre ofall the I world, and on its granil highway. It appears to I us that this proj-ct must succeed; that it must j draw to it all the enterprise of the world, it is so KniiHi, unu me rrsuun 10 oe prouuceu so siupeudons, so sure that the mind on investigation cannot resist it, and we believe that when it is commenced a rush will be made for the land ; thai settlement and population will precede it, and if once begun must go on, and cannot be stopped. We also believe that Mr Whitney's plan is theonly plan,and the only means by which it can be done. It is a project so va*t, that it must work itself and make its own means; the government cannot do it by money, neither by setting apart the lands, because it would be subject to constant change; in legislation, and made a most powerful political engine, subject to constant interruptions and embarrassments, and would never bo completed. Therefore, this plain simple plan of letting the road build itselt seems to be the only one, and we cannot imagine who should oppose it. We consider it important to prepare the pul lie mind, so as to urge it upon the immediate notion of the coming session of Congress. We fear after that time, the lands will be so far taken up as to perhaps defeat the great object. California Expedition.?We thought that we h id finished with this expedition, for the present at least, but common justice demands the contradiction of certain rumors, in circulation yesterday, prejudicial to the character of those in commind. Th j vessels did not sail hurriedly, nor on account of any dread ot ne exeats, Stillwell acts, or a huhea* coij/ur ; the order was given on the evening before to all concerned, to be ready at 9 o'clock the following morning, when the tran8ports would certainly sail. They were detained ! an hour alter that time, by delaying strngglers, i when quietly and wilh a universal Rood feeling prevailing, the little fleet proceeded on its way. We are informed, that in a short time, a vessel will sail wiih stores for the expedition, and that any who were accidentally left behind on Saturday, can be conveyed to meet their comiades, tree of charge. The statements that nearly one hundred were left behind are untrue ; thirty is probably rather over than under the number. Travel to Europb ?Three packet-ships and | one steamer leuve 011 Thursday next for Liver- ' pool, London, and Havre. The fine ship Oxford, Captain Yeaton, is one [ of the packets lor Liverpool. Those desirous of a quick and comfortable passage will go in her. | In going to England there is very little difference 1 in the time occupied by the steamers and packets j in crossing the Atlantic. The Switzerland is the packet for London, and ! the St. Nicholas for Havre, both very line ships. Difficult to Swallow.?The nomination of John Young, by the 'regular*" of the whig party.

The reputation of ail theae gentlemen ia too well established to need further remark , and wu are confident that the improving taa'e of America for the votaries of the mu?c will lie evinced by a crowded audience on Kriday evening next Samukl Love* ? It ia hardly ncceasary to remind the public that Mr. Lover will give the drat of hia "Irish Kveninga" in Auiaiica thia evening, at the 9(nyre?aut Institute, for we believe that sufficient interest is excited among the many admirers of that gentleman to fill any house he may choose to select for his entertainments, f'omhining as he does the reputation of being a distinguished novelist poet, musician and painter, besides possessing the iK>wer of mve-ting every thing with which he coaes in contact with a fascinating attraction, no oim can doubt that in his portraj al this evening, of the characterlatie* ol his countrymen, he will oiler to his audience a rich fund of intellectual enjoyment. The songs and tha legends ot the Kmereld Isle will b? treated of and pre- ; seuted in that delightfully pleasing manner for which Mr. Lover lias received such high and deserved commendation in t.urope.

We will admit, for the nonce, that there is no standard of dramatic ex- j cellence, and tliut difl'orent actors may be great in carrying out their different conceptions of the same character. We know that Kdmund kean, Mr*.

A weekly tranacript of this account muat be forwarded to the department, in duplicate, one diiected to the *ecretary, the other to the treasurer, which latter must be accompanied by the voucher* for the charge* made therein. Collector* of custom*, designated collectora and receiver! of public money* at land office*, who may act a* depositaries of the money* collected or received by them only, ihould credit the treasurer, weekly, with the surplus receipt! of the week, after reserving suttic'ent to meet the current expence* of their ottlcei. Honeys once reported to the treasurer, cannot afterward* tie usod except in compliance with his draft*, or orders, either for transfer or the payment of warrant* on the treasurer, issued utder the authority of law. The treaiurer of the mint, of the branch mint at New Orleans, the assistant treasurers, and such other depositaries as may be required to receive on deposite moneys not collected by them at collector* or receivers, should enter to the treasurer's credit each sum deposited with, or transferred to them, spec ideally, setting forth the date of tiio deposite, name of the party or parties making it. the object for which, and the name of the party for whose credit it is made, (which particulars must appear on the weekly transcripts,) and also, the kind of fund* in which it i* made. kntiieiof treasurer's drafts, when paid, should show the date of payment, number of draft, and number of warrant on which it was issued, or the designation " transfer draft," when of that character. The kind of money used?in pay ing drafts must also be noUd on your books, but not Mated in the transcripts The pi incipal book necessary to carry out these details, is a ledger account current, which will serve also as a cash hook ; as auxiliary to this, particularly when the transactions ate numerous, a day book or blotter should tie kept It will be well, also, to keep a separate register of traiufer diutts The form in which this account should be made out, for transmission to the detriment, is herewith inclosed, marked A.

Be pleated to understand thoroughly this principle, that ail mouey in yvur hands to the credit of the trea >urer is, in fact, money in the treasury of the United states, and cannot be used for any oilier purpose than the payment of warrants (or the drails theieon,) issued in pursuance of appropriations by Congress ; but tliese monoya may be transfer!* ! from one depository to any other depository, by direction of the Secretary of tho Treasury, under the authority of the 10th section of the act The 1-ith section of the act requires each naval officer and surveyor of eaah port, where there is a naval officer and kui veyor, and tho register of each land office, to make quarterly examination of the books, accounts, returns, and mouey on hand of the public depository with which he is connected, and to make such examinations as much more frequently at he may be directed to to do by the Secretary of the Treasury The 11th section of the act authorizes ma to make such examinations alto, by tpecial agents, as occasion may require.? You will grant to the surveyor of the port, naval officer, or the register of the land office, as the case may be, and to tuch special agents at may be appointed, every facility in your power for making tucn examination!, and will always keep your money, papers, and booka, in readiness for it By the ISth section, provision is made at to the kind of mouey you may receive. To the requirements in that section you will, in all cases, conform, using great caution to avoid the receipt of money that i* counterfeit, or the notes nfbankt not at par, or not convertible into tpecie on the tpot, or not itiuod by institution! of high credit After the Sltt of December next, all paymeuts [ into the treatury mutt be made in gold and tilver coin only, or in treasury notes. It is desirable that thenotet received by you should, when acceptablo to othert in payment.be first paid out; and if, at the close of any quartor, an amount of them remain on hand over the sum of five thousand dollars, they ahould, for security, be cenverteS into specie; and oilener, if lost it apprehended, or the .specif it wanted to meet drafts you are liable to pay in specie. For greater accoracjr in receiving coin, it will generally be desirable, in very large sums, to weigh, at well at count it; and for convenience and speed in making payments and examinations, to keep it sealed up ana marked, in b?gs or boxes of a hundred and a thousand | ooutrs eicn. n may do wen iui iuo ?jmuiui?n iu a<iu (heir ie?l after their monthly examination*, to verify the amounts.

Quotations for stock* during the pa?t week have been very uniform, and a fair amount of business ha* been transacted in most of tho fancy railroad securities. 1 he broker* succeed in sustaining price* without the aid of* the outiide operator* but without their aid they cannot expect to realize an improvement Most of the fancy stock* of Wall street are strongly held, and are not forced upon the market, which account* inameasui* for tho firmness of prices. There must be an iiuaien:* amount of interest lost by bob'er*; and we should think that thia aione would induce ihote intcrcs'eJ, to get up tome kind of a movement in the maiket calculated t> cause a change of hands. There are at least two railroad a*ockt in Wall atrrt^ which are daily improvii g iu value. It matter* very littln to tho*o u ho hold the stock if these companies aa permanent investment*, what the market price may b', or what may be the result ot toe cornering or ether operation* of the broker* in Wall street, so long as the income of cach comi any i? iuci easing and the pros^ec'a continue favorable The stocks of theio companies will continue to be football* among the speculators, until tlie}' fictile down into regular d.vitif-nil paying securities Tier? are ruilioed stocks on the list oi the broken' boards, which are as bi^li us thoy ever will he, or i>i other word* a* valuable as they ever can be, havings. ? i reached their ultimHtnm in receipts, and having no prospects , giving the slightest oncuu'-Hgement to t!?o?o hc>Uing them in view, of permanent investment. The Hi'lem and Norwich and Worcester, we include in the tint class, and the Heading nnd Long Island in the latter class. There is a wide murgin for an improvement in the former, but we sea no change for any in the latter, unless it be temporary and produced by mere Wail 1 street operation. So far as the other fancies are concern ed, very little can be said a? regards value, and the less tiid about some of them the better; they, however, answer all the purposes of the speculators in Wall street, and will from time to time go up and down, as it luay suit the interests and object* of the broker*. So long a? they are in existence, there is a chance for operation*; and these bubbles are easily inflated, as they require very little capital to set tiiem in motion; and the small j fry can dabble in such fancies as Morris Canal, Vicksburg, United States Bank, Sic., with a full knowledge that they cannot possibly lose more than from thiee nnd four to seven and eight per cent, nnd may possibly make j that much. There is, however, very little danger of any I of thos? fancies going completely out of sight, so long aa the brokers can draw in the smaller class of ontsiden.as they can make as good profits on the little stocks as on the big one*. We annex our usual comparative table of quotations ior the principal stocks in this market, for each day of the past week and at the close of the week previous. It will be perceived that there has been a very slight improvement in Bearly all the fancies.
