The Autocracy of all the ttussias is the only Government, we be lieve, from which this power ot the- Ruling Magistrate to appoint his successor could be derived, by any stretch even of analo-s-yj and the power thus exercised in the Imperial Government, whatever may be thought of the new fashion of deriving power by analogy from the British and other European Governments, must be considered rather as an exception than a precedent for us.

From the considerations, which we have thus briefly urged, it becomes the imperative duty of every one who disap proves of the leading measures and prin ciples of the present Administration, or of the nomination of hrs successor by the present and succeeding Presidents, to make his vote activtly instrumental against the candidate of the Spoils' Party. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The elections for members to this body were .concluded on Thursdav last. We and all others who have taken an interest imnational politics look with much anx iety to the result: we know not how that is, and shall not know. with certainty in several weeks: the Whig" prospect, we will say however, is thus tar flattering- But to the people of this State who take no interest in politics, to the com-' inunity generally, the next session of this body will-be of paramount importance. A Committee of three gentlemen have been employed to digest and codify the whole body of enacted law of the State if this Committee-report as we are infor med wrjbe the, case, great time, delibe ration and caution will be necessary to revise their labor and give them the au thority of laws: this immense work itsell will make the session greatly important.

All seem fully sensible that unless '8'me preliminary system of this kind be fixed on, this fund will prove the apple of discord. ibid, - Federalists. The Van Burcnites have heretofore succeeded in hoodwinkin; the ignorant by making bold charges of fed eralism against their opponents. They have been aware of the odium that attach es in the minds of the people against the Federalists, and have used it to great ad vantage in electioneering. Their rule seems to be, to make a charge, and if be lieved, they gain a vote ; if contradicted, they lose nothing, for they act as if they considered a loss of character for veraci ty no loss at all. But the people have ceased to believe such stories. They fiud that Mr. Van Buren himself was a Federalistjin 181 1, supporting De. Witt Clinton against Jas. Madison, the repub lican WTar candidate. Again, they find him supporting Rufus King in 1820, the very head and soul of the Federal party. They find many of Van Bureti's warmest supporters are of the same party. Look at Mr. Taney, the present Chief Justice, at Mr, Buchanan, one of thejeading sup porters -of the Alministratioi in the Sen ate ; at Louis McLane, the late Secreta ry of theTreasnry ; at Mr, Woodbury, tlie Secretary of the Treasury, Look at the blue-light Federal States of Connecti cut and Rhode Island, they go for Van Buren. Look in our own State, and see wIk are the supporters of Van Buren. It would be invidious to call names but we ask the people to'look around them, among their own neighbors, and see whom the old Federalists support. Lok at Cum berland Couaty, ami the little knot ol politicians whu endeavor, to control its elections, and say if you do not find among them the real old-fashionetl, anti-war, anti Madison Federalists. Anil yet these ve ry individuals will tell you that you must vote for Van Buren to put down the Fed eral party 2. The key to their operations is, that they believe, as the Standard says, that our people are more easily hum bugged than any n earth. " Fuyetteville Observer. FROM TEXAS. Nkw-Ouleans, August 4. Blockade. By the arrival of the Inde pendence, Commodore Hawkins from Texas, we learn that the port of Matta moras is blockaded by Texian vessels of War Brutus, Terrible, and Invincible. The Texian Army-were making prepara tions to invadv it by land, j The Mexican vessel of war, Corrco Secundo, sailed from Matamoras, to Vera Crut, for troops, was ost near Vera Cruz,, and all hands perished, except Capt. Thompson, and 2 marines. Brig Vence dor,.was obliged to put into Vera Cruz, in tlistrcs8. - A forced loan was collected at Mata moras and the American Consul obliged to contribute another was threatened when our informant left. Grand Gulf Miss ) July 21. We learn, generally, that the Mexicans, trt the number of 12 or 15 thousand, are on their way for Texas, by land and wa ter. It is stated, on good authority, that the Mexican soldiery arc sworn to exter minate all Amei icans, orncver return. The latter we think it most probable that they will do. But this oath speaks very little regard for Santa Anna and his offi cers in the power of the Texiaus. We perceive that Gov. Fulton, of Arkansas, has called out a thousand militia, "for an object of which we are not yet informed, but, perhaps, contingently connected with Texian troubles. w H. We are informed by a gentleman who left Natchitoches last Saturday, July l6ih, that the tide of emigration "towards Texas is immense; the whole country is swarming with men. General Houston has not yet joined the army j and .Major General Lamar remains commander-in-chief. The tug of war is yet to come, and we anxiously await the. result. '''- Louisville, xugusfK Intelligence has reached us, via Arkan sas, that tlwi Mexicans had destroyed Robertson's Colony in Texas $ that the whole frontier is in arms ; and that Gen Gaines had ordered the7th infaiftry and the dragoons to march on Nacogdoches He had also edited on Arkansas for 1000 men. f R&C Advertiser.

FIIOM FLORIDA. St. Augustine. Aug. 3. Axothrr Battle. Yesterday after noon an express arrived in town with in telligence that a battle had taken place in the morning, at six o'clock, at Ridge ley's mill, near the mouth of Black Creek, between a detachment of United States troops, 15 in number, under command of Lieut. Herbert, and a party of 36 Indians. Lieut. Herbert left here on Wednes tlay last, to escort 40 led horses to Garey's IVrry, and reached that place in safety the next'day. He was on his return, in the steamboat Essayons, to Picolata. When the boat arrivedopposite the mill, he landed in a small boat with nine of his men, with a view of going to Mr. Travers plantation, whose house had been burnt the day previhu, and mak ing an examination. On landing he dis covered fresh iiiuccasine tracks, and took up the pursuit. He soon fell in with a party of fifteen or twenty Indians, Whom he immediately attacked. . He was joined by the remainder of his command as speed ily as possibte, and at the same time the enemy were reinforced by about 25 more warri.ns. The Indians made two attempts to turn the flanks of Lieut. Herbert, but were gallantly beaten back, and after a warm action, which lasted au hour and twenty minutes, the enemy were driven into a hammock, from which they did npt show themselves until the detachment had retired on board the steamboat, and was under 'way, when they came to the river bank, and fired upon the boat. Af ter driving them into the hammock, and the ammunition being nearly exhausted, Lieut. Herbert, from the superior force and position of the enemy, did not think it prudent to follow litem. Five of his men were woundednone f them dangerously.' It is thought that ix of the enemy were killed anf wounded, as they were seen to fall, and a negro, who acted as guide, and-who understood the Indian tongue, said he heard them repeatedly call, during the action, for nu n to carry oil their wounded. This is one of the most brilliant affairs that has occurred during the war, and we hope that the current of disaster with which we had to contend hitherto, is a buut to turn, and successes follow in the place of misfortune. Col. Crane,. of the Army, commanding the regular troops in East Florida, upoir receiving the intelligence here, ordered Capt. Cummett's company of mounted volunteers, anil Lt. Ii win's company of mounted U. S. troops, to Picolata, where they probably crossed the St. John's last nijrhtj and it is hoped they will be able to fall in with this band of Indians, who, it is supposed, have been lurking in the vi cinity of Black Creek for some days. We have just learned that the compan ies reached Picolata, and finished cross ing the river at 8 o'clock this morning. Lieut. Herbert's detachment have jast tiuivcu vviiu men woimueu.

' We witnessed some days sincethe gp e ration t f a .model for a ra ii road Joe k , in Vented by Mr. W. G Tailor ,of N?tw. Yorkitand constructed hy Mr. " Qt, ,W Harris of this nlace." Mr. Tailor intend ed submitting this model to the inspection of the members or ourlatef ConventHnr; but could not get it prepared belorepthe rise of that body. Thejlock. is intended as a substitute for therordinarynnclined plane, and possese thifFadvaniage that stationary power is not required, the cars being elevated inr the' lock by the same power which impeVs them along the road. Mr. Taylor proposes to construct his locks about 150 feet in length,so,as to re ceive any ordinary train of cars with their burden, tenders "and locomotive, all at once, and the whole to be elevated at the same lime . After the, locomotive and train, of cars have entered upon the plat form of the lock, the power of the loco motive is readily ungeared from the train of cars, and attached to the axis of a wheel, which operates upon, other wheels connected with a series of screws by which the platform Is either elevated-or depressed. It is pruposed , to construct the locks of SO feet depth, and after the platform' with its immense burden, has been elevated to that heighth perpendi cularly, the power of the locomotive is then transferred by a quick and simple process, from the lock, and again attach ed to the train of cars, which drives them on to the next lock, or to their ultimate destination. No stationary or extraordi nary power is necessary in using the luck. The same power lhat, forces the cars over a plane when applied to the lock, elevates them to the top of a preci pice. In our examination of the model, we became satisfied of the great capabfi lity of the lock. Mr. Harris suspended a half pound weight to the axis of the wheel, and it overcame the friction, and raised tho platform & sixty-?even pounds of lead. We hardly conVider ourselves capable of forming a correct opinion upon the advantages of the railroad lock in o vercoming elevation , of one thing how ever, we are satisfied, that Mr. Tailor's lock deserves the seriuus and thorough examination of all who wish to facilitate the progress of railroad improvements ; and if we are not greatly deceived in re gard to its importance, it deserves to be placed among the most useful discoveries of the present day.- Knoxville He r. WATERLOO. - We arrived at the field r Waterloo, nine miles from Brussels, after sunset. We ascended the mound raised in com memoration of the great engagement of June 18th, 1815. It is two hundred feet high, and has a monument on the summit, consisting of a high pedestal, on which reposes the British lion, a colossal figure, and finely executed. From this elevation every point in the position of the armies and the field of battle, is easily compre hended. Il is now a plough field, with nothing remarkable about it ; but bare and naked as it i?, of every thing but the interest which the great action gives it, I would not but have seen it. We have descended and passed through tile very centre of the field the road to Gens, appe leading in that direction ; yes, we rode quietly through that peaceful field, where eighteen years ago, on a summer's night the satire irinori shining that now lighted our way thousands lay. in the sleep of death, and thousands more lif ted up, on every side, faces marked with the death --ja'gony, and uttered wailing that measured out the long, long hours f that dreadful ntgbt. As if to complete the contrast, we heard the sound of a vio lin as we drove oft" from the battle field, and turning aside to the quarter from whence it came, observed a dance, before the door of one of the cottajjes. At Genappc a few miles distant be neath the window of the chamber where 1 slept, was the street where the retrcatiu-' French raised the last barrier airiitist the pursuing Pruss ans and Brjiiswickers. Along that street sounded the fearful hurrah !" which, as Prince Blucher's report says, drove the panic struck sol diers of Bonaparte from iheir post. By the very window from which I looked, the furious cavalry, which swept away the lecuie barricade ItKe cnatt : and on cv cry stone of that pavement, blood 'Unman blood had flowed. ; Yet now, what but these dread recollections themselves could be more thrilling tlian the awful stillness, the deep repose, Avhich settled upon that fearful spot the moonbeams fall in; upon the .silent walls, and upon pavements which no footsteps disturbed, mod seem ing to consecrate all nature to .prayer and love, not to wrath anil destruction." From the Nantucket Enquirer. AN OLD JOKE REVIVED The newspapers are amusing their read ers with an item, stating that the pri soncr iri i Nantucket Jail has given notice to the Sheriff) that unless the prison is repaired, so as to guard him, from, the in clemencies ofjh'e weather, he cannot re main much longer." This is a new ver sion of quite an old story? Abbot thirty years ago, when the.
