Now that the Democrats in the Free States are healing up their differences, ami are uniting against the recent allies of Mexico, the Whisr press are loud in denouncing what thev are pleased to call a "base coalition" between the sections of the Democratic party. Ail sensible men, cf both parties, have become di.-gusted with the administration of "The Council of Eight."

fgtrWe have again to acknowledge our indebtedness to the courteous editors of the

Banner; and to show that we are in earnt?t in our "pursuit of knowledge under i d.ficuliies,' we shall give what we have ' Iparned in the two lessons of the Banner. A "sicl; Whig,-' then, is one who refuses vo vote for R. 2.1. ; and a "sick Whig" is a Whig having all the symptoms of "Locofocois m ' "Locofocoistn" signifies, in j

Verily, Mr. Bright has more sattelite? among the Whigs than we, from what we have heard of him, thought it possible for him to have. We will not accuse the Banner of pla- J sialism; but Forney, of the Philadelphia i tang horse. The Camel is a clumsy animal, and the Dromedary is not much belter. Its greatest recommendation and that is peculiar to its desert service is its endurance. A Swiss gentleman and Major Webber are the parties projecting a trip to .Morocco, to import a number of these anima's. fj'We learn from our exchanges that the rust has greatly injured the whrat crop in the counties of Rush, Shelby, Tippecanoe, and others so much so, that scarcely half the crop will be saved.

turned upon the fields in pre'erence to cutting the grain. We do not, however, anticipate a very high rise in the price of flour. In so extensive an agricultural countrv as this, a failure in one section will only have the effect of lessening the surplus, an i will not occasion anv very general o istress. TJ Whenever a locofoco prates to you about "violation of pledges'' by Gen. Taylor, ask him how a President who stood "pledged to nothing," as they said before the election, can possibly be guilty of the charge? Martinsburg (Va.) Ga The "nothing" here alluded to being "whig ! zette principles," as set forth in the Allison letters, i rr. , , , j i i j i u General 1 avlor s pledges have been regarded by ,. , . , , i .u i 1 his cabinet as "nothing, ' ana he has thought , . . .. , nm .1 "nothmc oi crujniijf: ir.em. i ne concern nasi , - i . i , ,i r k 1 amply vindicated Us claim to the title of being- , , , - r ..- j , i k eatirely "gooa for notmng, ana the Martinsburg r , , r , (-juz-'tte can afford to crow over the victory cf ' "nothing."

Tint Troubles in California false ftumart. The Rev. Walter Colton, who has recently returned from California, places no re-

lia Philadelphia American, Mr. Colton thus refers to tha letters rrentioning these rumors: These letters state that General Smith had been forced by a mob to take refuge on board a man of war. The General, when J left Monterey, was living on board the flag 6hip Ohio: but he jeopardy on account of some obnoxious measures ,J , ' L J which he had adopted, when the truth is, Col. Mason is now in New York. It must be a long arm that can stretch from California to our Atlantic board. There are two classes of persons at San Francisco; one is the permanent ciiiztns, the other is the gold diggers. The citizens have every thing at issue, in repressing tumult and disorder; and the gold diggers are on their way to the mines, and are in as much haste as a bridegroom bound to the nuptial altar, or a doctor to his first cholera patient. They have no time and no motive for getting up a mob; It cannot supply them with mules or shorten the distance to the mines; and they have no prejudices to gratify, unless a man can hate what he has never seen, and and find it in his nature to salute a stranger by knocking him down, and that too with golden visions dancir.g through his dreams. And there is just as little of lawless violence in the mines, as on the seaboard. In the mines they have a primitive but very effective method of administering criminal justice. If a man attempts the life of another, or robs him of his gold, he is brought before twelve diggers, which act as judge and jury in the case; if the evidence of his guilt be clear and conclusive, he is sentenced to death, and is hung to the limb of the tree under which the court holds its sittings. There is no escape through a loop-hole of the law, or technical error in the indictment. The only question is whether he did what he is accused of having done, if he did not, he is discharged; if he did he swings. Such is the law and its execution in the mines. They hang for an attempt at murder, as well as murder itself. They say the wretch is just as guilty as if he had succeeded; and the next time he may succeed; and so they put him out of the way. A pretty good system this among gold diggers; and life would be quite as secure if we had a touch of it here in Philadelphia. Nor is there any serious cause of alarm on account of the Indians. Their chiefs are all but absolute, and are on friendly relations with the Americans. A New Project. A company is now forming in the city of Mexico, composed principally of Americans merchants and others of enterprise, to transport California passengers from New York and New Orleans, through Vera Cruz and Acapulca, to San Francisco, in fifty days. The stock required is estimated at $300,000, and is nearly all taken. It is supposed that passengers, with their baggaze.can be carried for three hundred dollars. The road from Vera Cruz to Mexico is now in excellent order. The most ex tensive repairs have been made upon it by the individuals to whom it belongs. The road to Cuarnavaca has also been greatly improved. The whole distance will be made in stages and literas the men composing it can do all they profess to ! do, and the prepirations to carry out their scheme are on a magnificent scale. It now takes from forty to sixty days to go in a sailing vessel from Acapulco to San Francisco, which will be saved in the route taken by the company, as well as a great distance on the Atlantic side. It is the calculation of a shrewd American head, that a railroad in Mexico will not pay in fifty years. N. O. Picayune. Democracy is. No-Partyism. Fad for tne Rejecting.

The bridges upon 1 tnis road, which were washed away by the late gooding rains, were so far repaired on yesterday afternoon, that the cars left at the usual hour, 3 o'clock, P. M. Capt. Will.

People do not peruse the columns of a newspaper for the theoretic essays on abstract questions triat is the province of bocks; but for strictures ; and ciscu&sioas occassional in their nature and j applicable to existing persons and event.

ROME. rOSITION OF AFFAIRS AT ROME. The whole attention of Europe i9 fixed upon the extraordinary events now going on at Rome; and every hour we expect the report of tb final bombardment of the Eternal Citr. The news

we receive, filtered as it is through the French journals, is brought down to the 13th Inst , up to j which the Romans had maintained their position j in the most heroic manner. j There can be no doubt that very serious conflicts have taken place between the besiegers and the besieged, the deta Is of which have not reached us in such an authentic shape as to enable us to judge of the probable result. But on the 11th a breach was effected by the French in the walls, and a portion of their troops entered the city. Tllla MnAFl .1. ll 1 ll ..... a rr;.mn U.. (L. XT' U led to the belief that the struggle was over; but Oudinot issued a letter to the Triumvirs, making a last appeal to them, and endeavoring to throw upon them the responsibility of the effusion of blood, consequent upon an assault, in the event of their refusal. Proclamations to the Roman people, with the aim of detaching them from the authority of the Triumvirs, have also been circulated, but all these efforts seem to be of no avail. To the appeal of General Oudinot, the guardians of the city the Triumvirs of 1 649! only reply in language which will furnish a brilliant page for a future Gibbon: "In execution of the orders of the Assembly and of the Roman people, we have undertaken the engagements of defending the standard of the Republic, the honor of the country, and the sanctity of the capital of the Christian world. We will do so!" This noble reply was to be answered by a bombardment on the I6th, and every moment we look for the intelligence of the issue of the affair; which, however it may end, in a military point of view, cannot fail to be productive of very serious political consequences. As a gentleman was one day walking in the woods, his attention was diverted by a squirrel who sat very composedly on the ground. He stopped to observe his motions. In a few minutes the squirrel darted to the top of a noble oak beneath which he had been sitting. In an instant he was down with an acorn in his mouth, and, after finding a soft spot, he quickly dug a small hole, deposited his charge, the germ of a future oak, covered it up, and then darted up Ihe tree again. In a moment he was down with another, which he buried in the same manner; and thus he continued its labor as long as the observer thought proper to watch him. The instinct of the little animal may be directed to a provision for its future wants, but the Giver of all good has endowed him with 6uch an active and untiring industry that he does more than supply all these, and the surplus rises to adorn the earth and proclaim the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge. Crops in Lousiana. As our citizens are deeply interested in the staple product of Louisiana, we subjoin the following extract from a letter writer to the New Orleans Crescent from the Parish of Planquemines, dated June 26th. Tire writer mentions that the cholera had entirely left that Parish : "For the past three or four weeks we have had occasional rains, which have proved very beneficial to the crops in general. The cane and corn crop, which have not surf red by the crevasses, is very fine, and from the present appearance it may be said our planters will have an average crop. Col. Maunsel White, Messrs. G W. Johnson, Frederick and Cagnolotte, E. Bruland, T. Packwood, and several other planters, whose names are too numerous to mention, have, at this season of the year, the finest cane I ever saw. Since last week, the water has receded a few inches from our inundated fields. Some planters have, by means of straining machines, almost dried up their fields." Decline of the Epidemic. Wecannot,cn the most mature reflection, avoid the conviction that the dreadful epidemic which has so fearfully scourged us for weeks, has passed its climax of intensity, and is now on the decline. Such is the prevailing opinion, and God grant it may be so. The spread of this belief carries healing with It everywhere. Men are re-assured, they step firmer, and look and speak with more cheerfulness. Let us be thankful, let us also be careful and prudent. The same general attention to diet, clothiDg and cleanliness, and the same determination to avoid all kinds of excess or indulgence, is as necessary, j the epidemic bei ng on the decline, as when it was j most intense. With a few weeks of cheerful and j prudent discharge of duty, and total abstinence j from all vegetables and unripe fruit, we have ht- j tie doubt of a complete restoration of the general health of the city; with even fewer of the ordinary diseases of the summer than commonly prevails at this season. Cia. Mercury. CJ Some few days since, a family consisting : of eight, left Covington for Boone county, Ky., ' to get clear cf the cholera. No sooner had they arrived at the destined place, than six of the family, one by one, took the disease and died, leaving the father and husband, and one child to mourn I their irreparable loss. It was the family cf Mr. ; John Brashear, a highly respectable merchant of; j Covington. It is by no means a good idea to run J i from the cholera. i T3 Hate nothing but what is dishonest, fear nothing but what is ignoble, love nothing but what is just and honorable.

The heavy rain of Sunday night caused the bank of the Whitewater canal to give way in several places between the basin and Mill creek. The council had ordered a trench to be dug to drain this canal. The labor and expense is now saved. We shall expect to hear of other damage to public works than that we have mentioned. Columbus, in Georgia, has some twelve manufacturing establishments, with a capital of $400,000, and a flour mill is about going up with a capital of 100,000 dollars. There are several cotton mills, an iron foundry, a cotton gin factory, manufacturing about eighteen gins a week, a wool i company, &.c, and a natural consequence of all J this, lhe town is one of the best off in the State or j country. O Women love flowers, and flowers are like women in their beauty and sweetness, no they ought to grow up together. No flower garden looks complete without a woman in it; no woman ever seems bo lovely as when she is surrounded by flowers. She should have her fragrant boquet at that party; window plants in her parlor; if possible, some rich and rare flowering shrubs in her conservatory bat better than all these, and supplying all, every woman in the world should have a flower garden. Every man, who has the least gallantry or paternal feeling, should make a flower garden for his wife and daughters. Every house the smallest cottage in the country, as well ai the largest mansion, should have around it the perfume of lilachs, pinks, and other hardy odoriferous flowers that cost no trouble, but bring with them every year a world of beauty and fragrance.
