Crystal Palace.
The World's Fair of New York is now among the great topics of the day. The Crystal Palace was opened on Thursday of last week, and inaugurated by a speech from the President of the United States.— The great people of the land were present— the President and his suit, Foreign Ministers and Commissioners, distinguished strangers, the civic and military bodies of NewYork, and tens of thousands of citizens. The Exhibition is opened, but far from being in full completion in detail. It is said that every thing will not be in complete order and readiness for several weeks. The New York papers agree in recommending to strangers not to hurry—that the Exhibition will be nearer its perfection probably in September than any other time. We would recommend to our friends to wait a little—that nothing is to be gained by great haste in visiting New York all at once, on account of the Crystal Palace Exhibition.—
After the middle of August, and from that to the middle of October will probably be the very best time. Take your leisure, say the New York papers—there will be plenty of time. ~~~~~~~
THE PRESIDENT.—President Pierce with several ofhis Secretaries have been on a tour to attend the opening of the Crystal Palace Exhibition at New York.
On the route
from
Washington, the Presi
dent was addressed, and made speeches in reply, at Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton and other places. Much respect wasthown the Chief Magistrate—but nothing evincing great enthusiasm at* any place. That old and valued Washington correspondent of theBaltimore Patriot, "POTOMAC," intimates that this tour has something of re-election aspirations connected with it. He say that the keenest of Pierce's, own political friends declare that all of his appointments have been made with that view and that end.
PLANK ROAD.—We are pleased to learn that the planking is commenced in real good earnest on the National Road East of town. The intention, we believe, is to plank this road some ten miles from town and we should like much to see it completed before the bad roads in winter commence. We look upon this enterprise as promising great benefit to our town, as well as the adjoining country through which it passes. Heretofore during the time farmers had leisure to haul wood, coal, lumber, hay, grain, &c., the roads would be in so bad a condition that scarcely half loads could be hauled.— We have no doubt the completion of this improvement will enhance the value of real estate along the whole line. ~~~~~~~
UNITED STATES CHABOB TO ROME.—Our readers have been informed that the citizens of Detroit, without respect to party or creed, oti tho 28th ultimo, invited Major Lewis CBBS, Charge to Rome, to a public dinner, as a testimony of respect to lum as a distinguished citizen, and as a foreign minister. Major Cass replied in an eloquent letter, declining the honor, and says that under happier circumstances he should hove been gratified to meet his neighbors and Irienils. This is presumed refer to a late bereavrocnt itif^Hfe Major C. states that ••whatever fctfrer* li«W« may be learned by the AmeWcift Resident abroad, he cannot fail to appreciate the value of o\ir glorious institutions by the contrast which meets and surround* him from bis first to his Inst step upon the soil of Europe aud ho must return to his country more proud of her past and her present, and more hopeful of her future, by the knowledge ho hes acquired of tho condition of the great body of the people in the Old World." „, n. .fiW*
VANITY.—-Two or three weeks ago our friend J. B. L. SOULE, Esq., of the Charleston Courier, paid a flying visit to our town. And while in the place wrote a communication for his paper of matters and things in T. Haute—not omitting notice of the Editors. One paper, the <Daily> of this place, published the whole letter as it appeared in the Charleston Courier. <Two Editors> took occasion to extract the <tow> [sic] or <three lines> which had reference to each one <personally>, but nothing more. We omitted last week to make reference to the flattering notice of our self by Mr. Soule—-and should not now do it, only that from other publications it might be inferred we had not been noticed at all. Here is what Mr. Soule. among other things, says:
"We enjoyed a call on Judge CONARD of the <Courier> in his quiet sanctum, enjoying the reflections of his philosophic mind, who welcomed me with that easy urbanity peculiar to himself, which is worth more than a span of fast trotting nags to take a man through the world."
This was all very kind of you Mr. SOULE, only that your "<fast trotting nags>" maight pose yourself and us to some turf and <g'lany>" associations not so agreeable to our friends. ~~~~~~~
AWFUL.—There seems to be but little very astonishing in our midst for a week.— Not a father killed by a son—nor brother falling by the hands of a brother. No more shouting and applause at the discharge of a [erspm arraigned for murder. No fire— no ——. nor ——. &c., &c. What's to be done? ~~~~~~~

THE SMALLEST STEAM ENGINE IN THE WORLD.—Mr. Benjamin J. Warner, the London watch manufacturer, has sent to this country, for exhibition at the World's Fair, the working models for two steam engines. The smallest one, an oscillating cylinder engine, stands upon an English four penny piece, (size of half a dime) with room to spare. The cylinder is but one-sixth of an inch in diameter, the length of stroke threeeights, and diameter of the piston is that of an ordinary needle. The other is a beam engine, composed of more than two hundred pieces. The length of the stand is three and a quarter inches, length of beam two and a quarter inches, diameter of cylinder three-eights of an inch, and the length of stroke seven-eights of an inch. Both of these engines are screwed together with the delicacy and precision of the work of a watch. ~~~~~~~
Santa Anna has taken up his residence at Tacabaya, and has established telegraphic communication with the capital.
Gen. Parridi has been promoted to Brigadier General for services in the battle of Buena Vista. A new oath is established and all employees are required to take the clause which is to sustain the independence of the nation and the integrity of her territory. The Mexican papers are filled with news of filibustering expeditions from California into the State of Sonora, and manifest considerable anxiety in regrad to the difficulties between Mexico and the United States. ...
FOREIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE EXHIBITION.—It is stated that late advices received at New York, through Col. Henry Bohlen, at the Hague, bring the intelligence that the Dutch government had determined to send to New York the war steamer Amsterdam, containing some of the contributions from Holland. The Amsterdam is probably now on her passage, and may be expected soon. Col. Bohlen adds that it was contemplated to send over in this steamer the young Prince of Orange, with his tutor, to see the exhibition. The agent from France has also arrived in New York, and announces that some rare contributions by Louis Napoleon may be expected in a few days. ~~~~~~~
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—We are informed that Mrs. CAROLINE DARROCH, wife of Mr. John Darroch, and daughter of Major A. M. Puett, of this place, was killed by lightning at the residence of her husband near Renssalaer, this State, on Saturday, the 2d inst. Her husband was not at home when the sad accident occurred. Mrs. D. was well known to most of our citizens, as a kind and affectionate wife and mother.— She leaves, beside her husband, six small children, her bereaved father and several brothers and sisters to mourn her untimely death.—<Parke County Whig>. ~~~~~~~~~
0^7" The French Clergy are now throwing difficulties in the way of mixed marriages between Protestants and Catholics.— Most of the preists refuse to pronounce the nuptal benediction on these unions, unless where a formal engagement is taken to bring up the childten in the Romish faith. The Church is no longer contented with the common compromise, according to which, boys are educated in the father's, and girls in the mother's'belief. The consequence is, that several mixed marriages have lately been celebrated by Protestant Clergy.
A JOURNEY ROUND THE WORLD.—The English papers tell us that a Swedish frigate arrived at Plymouth, England, a few weeks since, from a voyage round the world. She sailed from Sweden in October, 1851, and, having touched at Rio Jeneiro [sic] and La Plata —passed through the Straits of Magellan in February, 1852. Sailing circuitously thro' the Pacific, she visited Gallipagos [sic], Panama, the Sandwich Islands, Otaheite, San Francisco, the Friendly Islands, and Sydney.— She was then steered towards the Indian Ocean. Leaving Australia, she directed her couse [sic] to the Carolinas, the Ladrones, Canton, Manilla [sic], Singapore, Batavia, and the Mauritius. On the 20th April, 1853, she reached the Cape of Good Hope. Having sailed thence, she stretched away to St. Helena. On the 4th of May she took her departure from that island, and reached Plymouth on the 8th of June. ~~~~~~~
ST. MARY'S.—By reference to advertisement it will be seen that an Examination and distribution of premiums will take place at St. Mary's Institute on the 2nd of August. To which Patrons and Friends are invited to attend.
IKDEMMFICATIOX.—$53,853 10 have been paid to twelve Spaniards of New Orleans, by the U. S. Assistant Treasurer, for property destroyed in that city on the reception of the news of the execution of Cuban expeditionists in 1851.
We are indebted to Mr. JOHH J. REYNOLDS, Messenger for Adams' Express, for St. Louis and other papers.

Their necessity as a means of wealth and prosperity. In the present state of railroad progress, it would appear supererogatory to attempt a demonstration of the necessity of the "iron road," politically, commercially, and socially or show that facility of intercommunication increases
It is a self evident proposition that accessibility promotes population. The history of our country is an enduring exemplification of this fact. As facilities of intercourse increased, the area of our settlements extended, until the entire continent has been embraced within our borders. Cities and towns have sprung up in the midst of the wilderness, and the wilds have been made to blossom like the rose and if canals, rivers, and plank and Macadamized roads—the restricted means of intercommunication enjoyed before the introduction of railroads—have sufficed to render this country so prosperous, what may we not anticipate when the vast undertakings now projected shall have been completed?—when ihe auriferious [sic] shores of the Pacific shall be connected with the rocky barriers of the Atlantic by iron bonds, and the treasurers of the East and the islands of the seas shall be transported thereupon, to find a ready market among the dwellers at the
West? That railroads will hereafter be the means of intercommunication, is equally evident. They are the best and cheapest means for promoting accessibility they can be built wherever the people will it, and by their means time and distance can almost be annihilated. The experience upon the few completed roads has demonstrated their utility and fitness for the purpose for which they were designed. And the completion of these few roads has made the building of others compulsory, or those sections lacking in such facilities must consent to set supinely down, and witness the rapid developement [sic] in wealth and prosperity of such sections as keep up with the progress of the age.

enph mmmtmirntinn. nrftntfeft business* :r
such communication, creates business, begets sociality, tends to the dissemination of enlightened views, and by uniting all these advantages, promotes the growth, wealth, and prosperity of the country.
Wherever railroads have been built in this country, the inevitable consequence has been to enhance the value of property in the neighborhood. Depots have been established along the lines for the reception and shipment of freight and from these simple depots flourishing towns have grown up, magic like, and, anomalous as it may appear, but in few instances producing any diversion of trade from one place to another, seeming rather to create of themselves business for themselves—thus, by facilities of communication adding to population, and by population adding to the wealth and prosperity of the country.
Not unfrequently does it occur that these depots are established in the vicinity of mines heretofore unavailable, for want of means of transportation, as is the case in many instances within our knowledge. So soon as the roads are completed, and these mines brought within the reach of a market, a town at once springs up, and the heretofore waste lands become not only sources of wealth, to a few perhaps, but of competence to many.
And when these roads are opened through an agricultural country, affording means of ready and cheap transportation to market, the farmer at once becomes independent. He is not compelled to haul his produce through almost impassible mudholes, sloughs, and ponds to a market, where he is constrained to dispose of it at unremunerating rates, rather than haul it home again he can quietly wait until it is called for at his own door, or until he learns from the papers that it is to his advantage to ship to a distant market. Few persons are aware of the difference in the cost of transportation between the ordinary wagon and the rail. In one of our exchanges we some time since found the following table, in which is given the comparative value of a ton of wheat and one of corn at given distances from market, as affected by the cost of transportation by railroad, and over the ordinary road:

By this table it appears that a ton of corn is estimated not to be worth hauling, by wagon, when 170 miles from market; while at the same distance upon a line of railroad it would be worth $22,20.— A ton of wheat 330 miles from market is not worth the hauling by wagon, but by railroad it would be worth $44,55. Thus as land may be near or more remote from lines of railroad, is its value enhanced over and above the value had there been no such railroad. This is an importsnt consideration, to farmers, when called upon to aid in the construction of railroads, and should influence their actions in the matter.
While it thus developes [sic] the physical resources of the country, and by the ready means of intercommunication it affords, makes distant points accessible, the railroad is also intimately connected with commerce, and with all of its powers and results, is peculiarly its agent, and has exerted a potential influence in
the developement and extension of modern trade, and is destined to work still greater changes and more vast achievements in behalf of the commerce of the future.
Such being the (act, lid railroads being the "necessity of the age,'* we say let them be built wherever they can be with reasonable prospect of success but in railroads, as in every other line of
judgment should be exercised.
and rival lines on minor routes should be avoided, at lest until such time as the wants of the community, call for an extension of traveling facilities.— This competition of rival lines will be one of the strongest objections 10 railroads, in the construction and prosperous management of which united effort is a peculiarly necessary ingredient.

From the San Antonio Texas) Ledger. ""ffll Annexation of Mexico* The annexation of Mexjco is no idle dream. We have reason to believe that a powerful league is now forming throughout that unfortunate country to effect this result. The sections contiguous to our soil are ripe for revolt at any moment when the scheme shad be sanctioned by the active movers in the interior. In the present disorganized condition of our sister republic many men who secretly favor annexation united in the recall of Santa Anna. They concluded that his energy, backed by an obedient military, could save the land from anarchy and the sway of guej-illas.
They thought that his presence would secure a lull in the fierce storm that was already breaking around them. Many suppose, and with some reason, that Santa Anna himself is not opposed to annexation. True, he banished Arista, alleging as a reason his revolutionary tendencies but Santa Anna is ambi tious. '.Jf he favors a union with the United States he must assume the initia tive he must conduct the negotiations he must himself achieve the glorious consummation. Besides, Arista is not a man of very vigorous intellect, and Santa Anna might with mu'.'h propriety conclude that his leadership would fail to combine the strength of the land to accomplish so excellent an object. We believe that no long period will elapse ere Mexico will knock atotrdoor she cannot exist in a national capacity much longer. No binding cement connects the States together. Jarring and discord is heard from one end of the domain to the other. On the outskirts hover tribes of remorseless Indians, who sweep through the settlements with impunity.
Each crevice of the mountains is gorged with freebooters who dash down upon the plains. They carry in their right hands carnage. As soon as one daring political leader is disposed of another springs up in his place to distract and paralyze the public mind. The treasury is empty, and starving officials clamor for change. Growling creditors surround the capitol. They cannot bo ap peased, for every source of public revenue is pledged, and Mexico owes one hundred and twenty millions of dollars. There is no power in Santa Anna to resurrectionize his country. We say a strong ^annexation fover pervades Mexico. Her pride is humbled by the very people whose prowess she affected to despise. As the haughty beauty who in an hour of passion has yielded up her virtue, and then humbly beseeches an alliance with her destroyer, so will Mexico in a very brief time solicit an nexation with the pover that humbled her pride
Chinese Affairs.
The arrival of the Illinois brings us intelligence from Hong Kong four days later thnn had been previously received but it gives us very little additional news concerning the actual progress of the Rebellion. It is not easy, indeed, to deprive any clear and connected narative of recent proceedings there from the broken statements of the Hong Kong journals. Tho Hermann, some days since, brought a rumor, which reached England from Hong Kong, under date of April 23. that the Rebels had taken Nankin: and that a decisive engagement between them and the Imperial forces was expected in a few days. The Illinois confirms the report that Nankin hod fallen into their hands, and adds, that they were again driven out of it. According to these accounts Nankin was taken on the 21st of March, after a series of rapid and successful marches upon various other points but the Rebels were compelled to evacuate it soon after, and were defeated by the Imperial forces on the 6th of April, in an engagemont about thirty miles south of Nankin. Our extracts from Hong Kong papers contain many contradictory and irreconcileable statements concerning their proceedings :—but these facts seem to be very clearly set forth, aj\d are. probably au: themic.
According to this account, the revolution has received a serious check. Up to that time the Rebels seemed to have every thing their own way. They very seldom met any of the Imperial troops and their only conflicts were with the people of the country through which they passed. It has frequently been asserted that their progress would be checked whenever they should come nesr enough to the capital to enconter the Government troops and the event seems to hsve justified the prediction
Thfc Chinese papers generally attribute less weight to the rebellion, and are less confident of its ultimate success ihsn the English Journals. Very shock ing stories are told of the barbarities practiced by the rebels, especially when they took Nankin—though they did not come in a shape which entitles them to full credit. And the Chinese Mail offers sundry cogent reasons for believing that the commercial interests of England and other foreign nations would suffer more from their triumph than from their defeat. Upon these points, as with many others connected with this extrsoidinsry movement, we are not yet possessed of data sufficient to enable ua to form as

MR. BUCHANAN AND THE ENGLISH MISSION.—The recent unfortunate difficulties, which seem likely to deprive the country of the services of Hon.

President Pierce had an interview with Mr. Buchanan at Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, the result of which was that Mr. B. signified his acceptance of the important trus confided to him, and his determination to proceed upon his mission at as early a day as will suffice to make the necessary arrangements.
Of the terms of the truce between Messrs. Marcy and Buchanan, we are not, of-course, authoritatively advised. We do know, however, that the Secre* tary of State has maintained his ground, insisting upon his own mode of arranging the diplomacy of the country, red providing the means of its conduct, and that Mr. Buchanan has had the good sense to acknowledge, hy his acceptance, the right of the Premier to direct and control the business of his De* pattment of the Executive Government.

COINCIDENCES.—A London paper brings to mind the following curious coinci dences
On the 10th of June, 1815, the Eng lish and French were engaged in des perate conflict at Waterloo, on the same day of the same month, in 1853, the English and French, fleets were at anchor off the Dardanelles, engaged in a common cause. On the 14th of June, 1807, Napoleon conquered the troops of Alexander of Russia at Friedland, and tho two monarchs, at the subsequent interview at Tilsit, took counsel as to whether, together,they could not humble the naval power of England. Fortysix years later, day for day, the navies of England and France are united to resist the encroachments of the Musco vite. The brother of Alexander and the nephew of Napoleon do not act in concert, but in hostility. That a half cen* tury, however, should produce such changes is not surprising but the coincidence of dates is striking^

June 9th, !853,
Dr. Swayne-Dear Sir: Believing it a duty owe to the public, and in justice to you. I h*v# thought prosier to make known one of the most extraordinary cures in my own case, that has erbeen truly recorded. In the month of October last, I was afflioted with a severe gathering in mr breast, which formed a large abscess, and almoit communicated to my lungs, and very much afflicted them, and discharged large quantities of corruption, extertal and internal. My breath could also pass through my lungs and out through the cavity of my breast with apparent ease, at tended with a violent cough, day and night, loss of appetite, and extreme debility, so that my physician thought my case entirely hopeless, and beyond the power of medicine. I remained in this wretched condition (or a long time, until I was wasted to a mere skeleton, and there seemed to be no hope for me but having read in the public pap* era of the many wonderfu Icurea performed bv vour COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY, 1 immedistely sent to Baltimore for five bottles, and commenced its use, and to my great satisfsction and the joy of my anxious family, the abscess or opening in my lungs began to heal, and the cough to subside, and on using ten bottles, I was restored to perfect health. 1 feel very grateful, and firmly believe that toyour valuable medicine, under the Blessing of Divine Providence, I am indebted for this great change, and am happy to say that 1 am now enjoying as good health aa I ever have.®, •wW-isa Yours, very respectfully, r'' THOMAS Dixcir it
I regard his recovery
