DOLLA IIS. , (H OR, VIIO IS TUP, LADY? ,, AH i was bustle and confusion among the fashionable of a quiet little town in one of the western counties in our State latoly, on the day preceding the evening of a select ball. The ladies became groat pedestrians, and were 'on foot for hours together, while husbands andfalhers were at home waiting in awful suspense for the respective shop-keepers' bills. The shop-keepers were more polite than usu usual, - al, usual, inasmuch as gauze, lace, and ribbons were the only articles in demand & were bought without the irritating enquiry, "can't you take lessl" and not a milliner could complain that night of a want of custom and a lull purse. Evening advanc advanced - ed advanced and the bustle increased. Beaux just from the bandbox might be seen with a glove, on one hand and courage in the other, tapping and bowing as if made of vibratory material, with as much, cash in . their pockets as brains in their noddles, and more brass in their faces than either. One of these nnishroon gentry, who had tlio fuculty of talking nonsanso, hiid cap cap-tivated - tivated cap-tivated the charming Mehitabel Clarissa Adelia Bacon, thud daughter at Captain Jacobus Bacon, of the invincible volun volunteer - teer volunteer company of heroes, vulgarly called "barefoots," who,' with remurkable val valor, - or, valor, during the late war, made a bloodless (not a mudless) retreat through a s wamp two miles with the enemy at their heels. At the appointod hour, and according to promise, this sprig ef the beau monde al alluded - luded alluded to, pulled the bell at the door oft lie redoubtable captain, which was answer answered - ed answered by their female servant, who, among the rest, was preparing for. the ball, and in her best 'bib and tucker" made a po polite - lite polite bow, and invited the young coxcomb . in.L Twilight deceived his already de defective - fective defective division; for it is sometimes said, that love, like wine, will make men see double; especially if they run against a lamp-post; and mistook the servant for Miss Mehitabel.. Doffinghis hat, and de describing - scribing describing with bis body all figures of Eu Euclid, - clid, Euclid, such as circles, squares and trian gles, he at last completed his bow a la mode,&n& lisped the fact that he had the "onnawof being in readiness to ethcort her to the assembly rooms." "I am engaged, sir," said the kitchen belle. ' ' .7 ' . ,r . ., "Engaged!' exclaimed the young chop fallen, "Miss Bacon engaged?" v"0, it is Miss Bacon you wish to see, then" replied the girl. Why, yoth I am mistaken! faith! the detilh! bowing and scraping to a servant eirl. vvherih your raithstressi ' . r"VValk intothe parlor, sir," said the insulted girl. 1 will call lief. Reader, wouldst thou know who tin's aorvant girl might be, of whom we have been talking? Well, listen, and I'll tell thee. Didst thou ever hear of William L , once a very wealthy shipping merchant of New York,' who through ' multiplied losses, wasexiled from tlio do minions of the woalthy and for many years dwelt obscurely in a country vil lage, with the only remnant of a large family a charming daughter? This was the verv child. At the age of ten, she became an orphan but not friendless. 1 he Gentlemanly conductor her lather even in poverty, had won the esteem. of all, and this lust survivor of his accumu luted misfortunes, found a home and a friend with a wealthy country gentleman She grew up to womanhood, beautiful and accomplished, and beloved by all the tamily, as a sister and a child. : But death claimed her adopted as his, and her pros pects changed. The woman who sup plied her place afterwards, was her , an tipodos, and Amanda L. stepped forth in to the wide world dependent upon pliys ical strength alone for subsistence. But the good wishes of her adopted family went with her, and a situation in the turn jly ef Capt. Bacon was secured ' to her, in the tluce the reader found her. But to resume.. . ' . - V ' At an early hour the ball loom was fill od with a truly brilliant assemblage. 1 hero were red cheeks in prolusion some painted by nature, others by ortj blight eyes in abundance, somo sparkling with intelligence, others with nervous excite ment, and, utnong the rougher sex, many with wine." Mirth and hilarity bore re gal sway, until a discovery was made a discovery coustuerea by that asscm blage as of equal importance with Her schel's lunar observations. The dance was suspended, notwithstanding Sambo still sawed his catgut, and a whispor ran through the crowd. 1 he purse-proud vin -ogar faced Mrs,-Z had the honor of making the discovery, in which was involved the reputation of oil presont. It was nothing less than tho. lamptitublo fact that Amanda L. the servant girl of Bacon, had impertinently intruded hot- self into the company of her betters ac tually danced two cotillions with thorn before the degrading truth was Known

to the important fact that hostilities had recommenced, and ofcourse that all hope ot tlio restoration o peace has been ooat- i poned to an indefinite period 1 . - , r. '. , ' It results from this fact that the ques tion, which has been so elaborately and warmly discussed, as to the expediency of insisting the cession by Mexico of a largo portion of her territory, not by way of indemnifying the United States either for past lupines, or fur the expenses of the war waged, as wo have been told. for their redress, but even fov what we must regard, if the character of Mr. Tiist's propositions has Itecn correctly stated, as more than a fair equivalent therejor in cash, has been, to say the least of it, altogether premature. : We have been violating a very wise proverb, by quarrelling about the terms upon which theconqucred (or raiher purchased) ter territory - ritory territory should be admitted into the Union, when wo have yet to learn whether we shall he able permanently lo hold any ter territory - ritory territory at all, except by keeping, at an e e-uoriiious - uoriiious e-uoriiious annual cost, an immense stand ing army to guard what we may win by the sword for, after tho rejection of the magnificent sum which we are told Mr. Trist ofTered for California, (and which, from all the accounts wo sou from that region, is infinitely more than il is worth,) il is clear that all idea of inducing Mexi co to barter the soveibignty of her soil for gold, must be abandoned. For our own part, while we should rejoice at the re restoration - storation restoration of peace upuu terms honorable to both countries, we can scarcely believe that the Uniled Slates will sustain any detriment cither in purse or reputation, by failing lo conquer or buy any portion of the Mexican Confederacy. All the descriptions we have recently seen of California, that portion of hor territory which seems to be most ardently coveted, upon some vague idea of the immense value of ports on the Pacific, satisfy us that the fertility of the country has been, as is usual ii: such cases, immensely over overrated. - rated. overrated. "Distance has lent enchantment to the view." with regard to that, as it al ways has done 111 reference to every oth er portion of the world for the first time becoming open to exploration and adven ture. Whether a country so absolutely uninviting as this is almost uniformly represented to be, by persons who have recoutly emigrated thither,, some 111, a military capacity, and others as mere ad adventurers, - venturers, adventurers, fatigued with the quiet mo monotony - notony monotony of civilized life, is worth fiista bloody and expensive war, and then a douceur of twenty millions to heal the wounded pride of the nation from which it has been already in fact wrested, does not seem to us to admit ot but one an answer - swer answer and that must be in the negative. There may, indeed, be other advantage anticipated from the acquisition ofCalifor ofCalifor-nia, - nia, ofCalifor-nia, some of which have been vaguely hinted at rather than specifically set forth and demonstrated "or- there may he hfgh State reasons of which the uninitia uninitiated - ted uninitiated have noknowledge which may justi justify - fy justify us in giving for it twenty millions of dollars. But, as wo are not satisfied that either tho one or the other is true, we must in our ignorance confess that, in view of the dangerous questions, of do domestic - mestic domestic policy that must follow as conse quence of its acquisition, as well as of its vvoi thlessness. we shall not very serious ly regret the failure of our efforts to ob obtain - tain obtain it. Nor is this the only portion of the con quered territory that is described as ut utterly - terly utterly valueless. In the last Lynchburg Virginian, we meet with an interesting letter from an officer connected with the Virginia regiment, and is said to be a man of high character, in which tho region a bout Monterey, from the place he writes, is thus described: "Here am I, at the seat of war, in this much coveted land, this land of Orange Groves, where delightful odours fill the air, and flowers spring up in luxurieut beauty . at one's feet, wherever he may turn his steps this land of promise, to gain which, a mighty nation has sent forth her armies, and rivers of blood have flow flowed. - ed. flowed.

The Republicof Mexico, like our own, which, in its great outlines, was the model of its original political organi organi-zation.consists - zation.consists organi-zation.consists of a Confederacy of States, each, like the members of our own Union, sovereign within its legitimate sphere of actioii. In addition tolhe fact, therefore, that the Constitution of Mexico express expressly - ly expressly denies to the Central Government the power lo cetle away any portion of the soil of tho Republic an interdict which may not have been without Us influence in inducing the rejection of the Iprms said lo have been proposed by Mr. Trist 11 may bo askeil what rieit has that Government to sell any one of its States, or any portion oi any one ol them, more than our Federal Government would pos possess, - sess, possess, at the ch mo of a war, to annex Ver Vermont - mont Vermont lo Canada or to re-annex Texas to Mexico?' There is not a man in this Union who would not rise in arms against any Administration that would usurp the power to blot a singlo Star from our flag and only by an act of usurpation could it do so: And as ihe Mexican Confede racy is framed and fashioned after our own, the "rights ot the States ot which it is constituted are not less comprehen comprehensive - sive comprehensive in this particular, nor the duty to respect them lass binding upon Ihe Cen Central - tral Central Government. Should ir, therefore, consent to the cession of California, New Mexico and portions of Tamatilipas, Coa Coa-huila, - huila, Coa-huila, Sic, or either of them, it could re really - ally really confer no title to the conqueror or purchaser, (as the case might be,) with out the previous or cotemporaneous as assent - sent assent of the State so transferred in whole or in part. r . Itt-iiolils or Kuili-oiitU. Is it not astonishing that there still lin lingers, - gers, lingers, among some old fashincd people, a prejudice against railroads? Regarding only tho comparatively few carters, wag oners, &c, whom the iutioduclion of 1 ail ail-roads - roads ail-roads has deprived of business, these mis mistaken - taken mistaken philanthropists mourn over the per perversion - version perversion of capital as applied to railroads, and lament that modem science has made the condition of the poor even worse than belore. A few statistics, however, will show how mistaken is this view of the case. In England, thero are 3.505 miles of rail way completed, - affording; constant em employment - ployment employment to 47,218 persons. In addi- dilion, there are 6155 miles of railway in course of construction, employing 2ob,&0'J persons, making an aggregate of 303,727 absolutely earning their living on railroads. To them, must be added the host of bakers, butchers and farmers, who are indirectly supported by these 300,000 persons, as also the carriage buil builders, - ders, builders, brick -makers; iron-workers, ficc, whose labor is demanded for the materi materials - als materials used in the road. When, in addi addition, - tion, addition, when we consider the families de dependent - pendent dependent on lliese various employees, we hud Hint, at least, three millions ot per persons - sons persons are supported, either directly or in directly, by 10,000 miles ot railroad. A writer in the National Intelligencer, from whom we have derived tho data for the foregoing calculations, asserts that if tho additional 4.G18 miles of railroad au thorized by act of Parliament are put un under - der under contract, the number of persons who, for some years, will derive their support from railroads will be increased to six or seven millions. He further es estimates - timates estimates that when all the railroad char chartered - tered chartered in Great Britain, are completed and in operation, they will furnish constant employment and support to two millions of people. Was there over half the num number - ber number of persons engaged in transporting passengers and goods m the "good old fashioned woy"of which we hear so much uonsensf ? The truth is, that as the means for quick travelling increase, so will the num number - ber number of travellers. Perhaps twenty per persons - sons persons travel now, out of the same number of people, where one person undertook a journey in the days of our grandfathers. The time was when going a distance of three or four hundred miles was tho af affair - fair affair of a week, and was frequently ' pre faced by the making of a will: now a vis visit - it visit of that distance can be performed with within - in within twenty-four hours and is regarded on only - ly only us a pleasant excursion.' Tho fact may bo regarded as settled, that the de demands - mands demands of society keep pace with the pro ductive means. Neat t iul. (juzctte. Patents.
