C, and the intermediate landings. Timber for the use of the mill is plentiful. The grist mill and cotton gin have each a fine custom.

Turpentine can always be sold at a fair price in Lumberton ; and timber at Georgetown and the steam mills on the river. There are about 500 acres of cleared land, under good fence, and in a high state of cultivation, well adapted to the various articles of produce usually raised in this latitude. The dwelling house is large and comfortable. The negro cabins are all frame work ; well lighted and ventilated, brick chimney and shingle roofs; most of them have been erected within the last five years. The corn and fodder houses, stable buildings, &c, are mostly new and well located. The location is healthy. The water, both well and spring, is excellent. There is also upon the premises a large store house one fourth of a mile from the dwelling, a Presbyterian Church one mile, and a Methodist Church two miles. Tho store house is in a public place. The stand, for selling goods and making good debts, is equal to any in the State. There is regular service in both Churches, by ministers of their respective denominations.

Santa Anna's Restoration to the Mexican Prsldncy. By the arrival at N. York of the steamship Black Warrior, we have news from Cub to the 12th inst., arid froifj Mexico 16 tfte 6tfr. The English steamer Avon arrived at Havana from Vera Cruz on the 10th inst. To the latter port she had brought Gen. Santa Anna on the 1st. He Yas received with the greatest enthusiasm, firing of sa lutes and other demonstrations of joy. The author ities of the city, and those recently ariived from the capital, went on board, and conducted him to Vera Cruz with great solemnity. The President disem barked, leaning on the arms of the Commandant General and of the Civil Governor. A triumphal arch was erected in the grand plaza through which he passed. On one side of the arch were inscribed the words, M To his Excellency the President, Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, 17th March, 1853." On the other. i4 Liberty, peace, and order." The cortege proceeded to the church, and, after a solemn le ileum, conducted the President to the National Palace, when Santa Anna received the commission charged with presenting to him the cre dentials of his having been elected President of the republic. Other commissions of minor importance were afterwards piesented. During the night there were illuminations, fireworks, and numerous sere nade. On the following day (the 2d) Gen. Santa Anna published a manifesto to the nation, of which we subjoin a translation : Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to Ills Compatriots. Mexicans: On placing my foot on the shores of my country, I salute them with the liveliest emotions. My heart has palpitated with tenderness from the time when my eyes commenced to discover around our coasts the lofty mountains which indicate thc proximity of a land in which everything is dear to my heart, in which everything brings to me the dearest remembrances. You had called me, believing me useful to save you from the state of anarchy and superstition into which you have fallen, and I have not delayed in responding to your summons. You already have me on your soil, resolved to employ all my energies in an object of such essential importance. But if I have been quick at your call, it is from reckoning upon your efficacious co-operation. Of no use will be my firm resolution to consecrate myself entirely to the salvation of of the country, if every one of you do not assist me, cc -operating with all his abil ity to the attainment of these ends. Far from me is the thought of avenging ancient grievances. Those who have been my enemies may dismiss all fear. Everything is forgotten: and in touching the shores of my country, I present to all the hand of friendship. Neither do 1 come to make any party prevail. I come only to raise the sacred standard of union, summoning to follow it all Mexi cans whatever may be their opinions. Every man whose heart swells and is moved at the voice of his country, he is my friend, he is my companion. Mexicans, too long have we permitted ourselves to be deceived by chimerical ideas. We have lost too much time in intestine dissensions. A sad reali ty has come to drag us from such a deplorable de ception. To what have we arrived at the end of 30 years of independence 1 Cast an eye over the map of your country, and you will find that a great por tion of your territory has been lost. Examine the state of your finances, and you will meet nothing but disorder, abuse, ruin. What is your credit a broad ? What is the opinion which you enjoy in foreign nations ? Where is that army in whose lines I have had the honor to serve, that army which gained your independence, in which I glory of hav ing had no small part that army which I led thro' the deserts, conquering difficulties which appeared insuperable, to the frontier of the republic at j wtiose licaa 1 repelled an inimical invasion, and with which I fought with little fortune, but not without honor when ycur capital was occupied by the ene my. Mexicans, let us become ourselves again. Let us improve the hard lessons of experience. Let us re pair the errors we have committed. Here you have me to contribute my share to this honorable repara tion. Toil with me in good faith in this glorious work, and we may still have country, national hon or, and a name which we will not be ashamed to own. Soldiers! comrades in arms! Behold anew at your head your old general, him who has conducted you fome time with glory ; him who has not aban doned you in the moment of misfortune ; him who bears on his body an honorable mutilation, and who, with you, has exposed his breast to the balls of the enemy in the days of your misfortunes. Listen to a voice which is not unknown to you. Follow 3'our general and friend, let us restore to our noble pro fession the lustre of which it has been deprived ; and although the relations of friendship which exist with all nations, and which I shall cultivate with all care, may not at present make your gallantry necessary, let us be ready, should national honor require it, to prove in the face of all the world what the Mexican soldiers have always sheltered in their hearts. Mexicans, of all classes. Let the day of my re turn to the country be the day of general reconcili ation, and let the joy which it causes me to find my self among you, exhibit itself in all assembled around the national standard, and let U3 here all shout with the same union and enthusiasm as in 1821. Viva la patrie, viva la independencia. (Long live the coun try, long live independence.) These are the wishes with which I present myself at your call, these are the vows of your compatriot and friend, ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. Ilcroical Vera Cruz, April 2, 1853. Santa Anna proceeded to the city of Mexico on the Cth, having been elected as President of the Re public for the fifth time by the votes of eighteen out of twenty-three States and territories. The " Peters" Funked. Quite a rich and amus ing incident occurred on Thursday to one of the i; go go-go-go-o-o-o h-go-ingV in the neighborhood of Tammany Hall, New York. An eye-witness thus tells the story, says the N. Y. Sun of Friday: In passing down Spruce street, his attention was sud denly arrested by a person running behind a young man passing down the street, and se'zing him by the shoulder in a violent manner, uttering at the same time a coarse oath. " Didn't 1 pay for the watch V said the young man to his rough assailant. The other swore and kept his hold, demanding the de livery of the watch. Several persons collected to see what was the mat ter, and a sharp little newsboy who was about, sly ly intimated that the violent individual was a "Peter Funk.1' The bystanders interferred, and accompa nied the young man back to the mock auction shop, securing the company of a Police officer on their way. On reaching the Peters' stall, it was ascer tained that a watch was put up, with the informa tion that it belonged to a widow lady, and was to be sold for her benefit. The young man bid, and it was knocked down to him at $25. He promptly picked up the watch, handed over the $25, and walk ed out while the auctioneer went aside to make out a receipt. The young man was pursued as stated. When the story was heard, the police officer told the young man, who held on to the watch, that he could keep the watch and go about his business, and if he chose, enter a complaint for the assault. The bystanders urged him to do so, but be seemed con-! tent with the possession of the watch, which proved to be one worth $125. The plan of the Peter's usu ally, is to put up a really valuable watch, and. after getting the highest bid, to adroitly change it before it passes into tho hands of the purchaser. In this instance, their customer gave themr no chance to make the substitution ; but we wouhi not advise others to do tnem in the same way. ' Germany.

I think not. Gal lantry forbids my recognising their existence -in any light other than as the devoted slaves of that divine sex, of whom I am proud to esteem ir.yaelf the humblest.

In answer . to another speaker , he considered that assembly rooms should be main , tained in every town by the public purse. Mrs. Poser. What foreign policy will you ad vo cate? ' "?

To prohibit the importation and, culiivation of that objectionable plant altogether, so that there may be no more smoking. - 5 A show of parasols was demanded, and Sir Charles Darling was declared duly elected. The Coffee Crop of 15 razl 1. 4 : We take the following extract relative to the cof fee crop of Ilrazil from a letter, published in the Baltimore Cotton Plant, and dated Rio Janeiro, Jan- " uary 15th : -Wvr ? You will expect something about our great slnplev coffee, and as I have been at some pains to obtain correct information of the present and future pros- pects, will give you the result : . The crop of 1852, now coming to market, was ti large one, but not of good quality on account of the rains during the picking season, the growing one, which will supply the export, July, 1853, to July, . 1854, will be very short, generally estimated at half the List one, but as a good deal of the last will lay over on account of bad weather from; August to December, and want of mules to bring it to market the deficiency in the export will not bo so great ( some suppose. The export of the crop years 1850 "51 was about 1,900,000 baa;s each ; I estimate that ' 1852 and '53 will average about 1,750.000 each, showing a deficit of .150,000 bags, or 24 million pounds per annum for two years. As the wants of. the world appear now to require an export from Bra- 1 zil of about two millions bags per annum, and the production of coffee is not increasing anywhere it I seems quite certain that if the consumption conlm- ties to increase as it has done, higher prices must rule, as it is not at all probable that any increase' can take place in Brazil,-, the great place of produc tion, the slave trade having entirely ceased. -Prices of slaves have risen from five hundred nvlaeis . i:i 1850 to one thousand in 1852, and although they arc generally well treated, the numbers on an estate de crease from 3 to 5 per cent, per annum. -W - Emigration from Europe will be encouraged, and it is proposed to introduce Chinese . laborers j rail roads are also contemplated, so that it is possible present production may be maintained but cannot , increase like consumption. Vi-'i ''Vt.: ;:;-"'' The cargoes of coffee now shipped for the United State are costing from 8 tn 8i cents on: board:-: Should the accounts from F.nrope and the United - States eontinnfi tn he. favrrnli! nrl' tvJlt nrlvnnnn as receij ipts afi-r January will fall off, especially as ' w certain that the next crop will he short. '. ii is now certain mat tne next crop brazil was never in so flourishing and rrospef Otis' , a condition as at the present time. - Her (5 per cent. stocks are 5 per cent, above par ; in 1832 they were 65 per cent, discount. Her revenues have increased and the river Platte question being settled; there : will probably be a surplus, so that the export duty on coffee, &c. will be reduced in July. Some change U also contemplated in the tariff upon imports. Sweet Alice Alas ! In our juvenile days we ro " member a very clever Englishman iwho. on 11 con- vivial occasions, sang that his heart was breaking -for the love of Alice Gray. More lately n great mi" ny people have been enquiring of the Benjamin Bolt, : whether he remembers Sweet Alice, and then volan- tecring the information that , They have fitted up a slab of granite so grey, And sweet Alice lies under the stone.? j v The mystery that has so long shrouded the namn of Alice, is now cleared up. That somebody's heart -was breaking for her, i quite probable. . But the joke about her being laid umler the gran ite slab is too transparent. The New '-.York -paper bring accounts of her arrest in company with T. Co nelly, Philip McArdle. and others, for passing: coun terfeit money. This prove that the story of her fa- ther, so frequently told by Mr Bolt, was'a sham a counterfeit; but better would it have been for Alice to have, - - - ' " Put offDoath's counterfeit, and put on Death itse'.f." She has been placed inside of certain granite wall, i and the iron doors have Been Bolted, So ends this remarkable fiction.
