Mr. Editor: A moments reflection will eontince any person, that there is no country mre replete with interest than that v hirh borders on the Mediterranean. There is hardly a pot from the straits of Gibraltar, to the eastern extremity of the vs., which has nol been immortalized by history nr song. A you eze upon the distant shores you are pointed to far red grove, where were the birth place.' or quiet retreats, of som of the ancient deities; or you see the summit of joiiip mountain, at whose base, or upon whose -i,.- i.i iii!. .... r....i.i . ,. ...... y r eidmg the destmv of some Canton.

At some time this awakens in the beholder a strange rlis of feeiiii. I cannot describe my reflections upon being pointed from the titling to, or towards the site of ancient Carthase.

The names of HamicUr, IIdrubil ail HinntlMl pm-J before rn, nnl by association, I called up the honors which perpetuate their names. For a m mnt I determined to fix the precise!. -cation of the ancient city, and restore it to lis former grandeur. The scene was magnificent. The city was grand. The arnres gtt at and powerful.

On the 31st of March the capifjlation ofVrra Cruz wiihihe Americans was announced in Mexico as we perceive by a proclamation of the President, General Santa Anna, ia w hich, among other things he says: -Mexicans! Vera Cruz is now in the pow er of the enemy. H has fallen, not in consequence of Ameiican valor, nor even of averse fortune. We ourselves, how ever shameful the declaration may be, have been the cau-e of this fatal pinaster, by our interminable dissensions I am resolved to go and meet the enemy. Pet h-ps the American hosts may proudly tread the capital of the Aittc empire. I have not to witness that disgrace, for I am deiet mined rather to die fighting. The nation does not ct die; still I swear it, I will answer for ihe triumph of Mexico, if a sincere and unanimous effort seconds p.iy dsires.

Dear Sir: I received with your leuer the paper you wete so kind as to send me. I see that notwithstanding your kind feeling low-aids ine, you have greailv mis judged me in thinking lever joined 'the fall; i fortune" of Mr. Van Buren. The truth is. that I have not been able, with I differ from both on scverrl important questions, and among others the proscrijiiv moIicc of tnmint? onrwinetiis out of office in.lisciimtnately. and bestow ing j their places, as rewards for partizati ser- j vices, im the least meritorious of the resnective parties, and agree with each in ' . - r some particulars. Mine has been an in-j d ependent course throughout, and hence I have been compelled to seper&ie from' and then from a sense of duty only. j Nothing can induce me lo sacrifice my

la save:

independence, not even to retain the fa

vor of my native Slate. If I, in lS37,sup ported .Mr. Van Duren, it was because he was. forced to sustain the measures. I had supported against him and Gener. al Jackson, and because the whigs took ground against them, and not because I joined htm or his ftilen fortunes, I had no motive to do either, while I had strong ones to support the measures which I approved. It would have been highly censurable in me to turn against them, because he had been forced to support them. With great respect, I nm. S.c. J.C.CALHOUN. C.N. WrEB, Esq. Eurders, &c. Alfred Saw ard, Esq. of Dover, Mason Co.. Ky., was shot through a w indow on j Sunday night last, about il o'c lock. At the time he was &hot he was sitting up in ! his bed engaged in reading. Three balls took effect upon his person, end a fourth was found lodgeu in his pillow. He was ; not dead at our latest accounts from him; but his iccovery was hardly hoped for. A man named Clark, and another nam- ; ed Cross, got into a fight at Lawrence .burg, Ind. on Teusday night last, in which the latter was killed and the former so I severely cut across the abdomen that his . , . , j : bow els gushed oot, and no hopes were j entertained of his recovery. Dr. James W.Wilson, of Russellville, j Ky., w as murdered in his own room on j the night of the 4ih inst. by some un known person. Six or seven wounds were inflicted on the head with an axe or hatchet. ouiciue. Mr. John U. lloiton, a very respectable and worthy ciiizen of Boone County, Ky. committed suicide a fewdays ago, by cutting his throat with a razor. He was at times partially deranged, and was doubtless in that condition when he committed the rash act. Paper Cigars economy. We are informed tl at ihe tefuse tobacco of the manufactories is about to be employed in making p per cigars. A strong decoction it the tobacco is made in which paper saturated. The paper is then dried and rolled into cigars cither alone or mixed with tobacco. The cigars are said to be very mild and agreeable.and well adapted for "ladies!" Theie is economy in the plan, it must be conceded, but we think it would be still more economical to preserve ihe infus'.on which is wasted by cliewers and smokers, and apply it in like manner. Carpets and .loors might at Ieat be saved bv adopting otir suggection. If any cigar maker wishes to amass a fortune, let him try it. A larg. wy.tr tight cart, such as suver.gers use in collecting the slops from the kitchen, could soon be filled by passing from doorto doer, gather ing the contents o spittoons from private & public houses. A concentrated infusion of the best tobacco would be thus preserv. j ed, containing enough oftherjYfue of the j lant to make the most delicious paper cig3rs. Why noi? The best snuff for ! ladies' use is said to be made of the stumps j of cigars picked tip from the floors and j spittoons of public hou-es, and why ; should we thiovvaway the salivary info, sion of ''Mountain Dew" and other precious varieties of chewing tobacco, which is squirted about, hose fashion, from the perfumed months of gentlemon of taste, in street, parlor, and hall? The new Pope is decidedly a character. lie has issued directions to have the ' Pontine marshes drained, with a view to the cultivation of rice. On the occasion of the election of a new colonel of the Roman civic guard, His Holiness inquired if there w as any objection to his becoming a candidate for the office.

Although the on-1 mion .-..it mrni ,i v.,r, r-,.,, that the Mexicans would not make a stand between ihat city and ihe cardial. yet there were some who regarded future collisions as ceilain. Amongst these was Col. Kinney, w ho had recently been as far into ihe interior as Mano de Clava, Santa A ula's hacienda. . "It was distinctly undestnod at Vera Cruz that the Paente Xacionzl had been abandoned. This was the point al which the f.rst resistance to the inarch of the Ameiican forces upon the cilyof Mexico represented Santa Anna as more intensely bmi upon war than ever. The reports are not the best authority, in so far as the wishes of Santa Anna are concerned: but they indicate the temper of ihe public mind, which is as good au iitder of his purposes as any other." U3Polk's organ at Washington has uc.e, which, we see going the round of U- echos. ii is asserted that "the advance of our army to the Itto Grande was stiggested, ad y ised and approved by Gen.

To Young Men There is no moral ob ject so beautiful to tne as a copscientious young man.. I watch him as a star in ihe heavens; clouds may be before him, but w e knoir that his light is b1 hind them and will hoam again; the blaze of others' popularity may outshine him but we know that though unseen, he illuminates his own true sphere. He resists temptaticr., not without a struggle, for that is not vir tue, but does resist and conquers; he hears the sarcasm of the profligate, and it stings him for that is the trial of virtue, hut heals the wound with his own touch. He heeds not the w -atchwot d of fashiou, if it leads to sin: the athiest, who says not only in his heart but w ith his lips,( ''there is no God," controls I im not; he 3aes the hand of a creating Gcd, and rejoices in it. , Woman is sheltered by fond arms and loving counsel; old age is protected by its experience, and manhood by its strength; but the young stands ami 1 the temptations of the world, like a self balanced tower; happy he w hosoeks and gains the prop and shelter of morality.

Just w here old Rough and Ready would like to have him. Give him enough men so that Santa Anna would not ounitimber him over two to one, and on an open plain, he would whip and capt;;re the w hole Mexican army and deliver over the one legged tyrant to the tender mercies of the Textan R ingers.
