Choctaw Indians.?The revival of religion continues among the Choctaw Indians, and 150 have been added to the church during the last year; making the whole number connected with 8 churches in that nation, G65. There had been contributed by that people du <i i ooq c i i . mi" nit? ycai, viooo lur umievoieni purposes, in addition to $26,000 appropriated by their government for educational purposes; making a sum equal to $1.25 for every man, woman and child in the nation?a sum greater, in proportion to the number of people, than is given for the cause of education by any nation on the globe! Printebs for Mexico.?The printers of Philadelphia have formed a volnnteer company numbering over sixty men, and intend offering their services to the Presidedt, for the campaign against Mexico. They have elected the following officers: Capt. W. C. Tobey ; 1st Lieutenant, F. I). May; 2nd do., J, T. Doyle ; Orderly Sergeant, J. H. Roberts. India Rubber Bridge for the Army.?Messrs W. Rinder <$ Brothers of the Harlem Rubber facto ry, have secured an order for the materials for a portable bridge for the army. The " pontons" are to be made of rubber, and when completed no delay will be experienced in crossing rivers, in a rapid manner.?N. Y. Express. What we are.?This country has a frontier line of more than 10,000 miles. We have a line of sea coast of nearly 4,000 miles ; a lake coast of 1,200 miles. One of our immense rivers is twice the size of the Danube,the largest river in Europe. The Ohio is 600 miles longer than the Rhine, and the Hudson has a navigation of 120 milpR Ion(rpP tlmn t li o The single State of Virginia is a third larger than England. Ohio contains 5,120,000 acres more than Scotland?from Maine to Ohio is farther than from London to Constantinople, and so we might go on and fill pages, enumerating distances, rivers, lakes, capes, and bays, with comparative estimates of size, power, and population. The Nashville Union, the Administration organ in Tennessee, has the following : We understand from a reliable source, that it is the intention of the Government to send a force to California sufficient to take possession of that country and to hold on to it. It is supposed that the mounted men from Arkansas, Missouri, and probably Tennessee, will be directed to California. We sincerely hope that this information may be true, and from the source through which it is derived, we are satisfied that it is reliable. We regard California now as ours, and with that result all will be satisfied. how their names are pronou.vced.? A correspondent of the St. Louis Reveille says :?As the names of the following Spanish officers are likely, at the present juncture of affairs, to be frequntly irt the mouths of our citizens, for the satisfaction of those not already informed as to the correct pronunciation of them, I subjoin the following: Generals Arista, Ampudia, Mejia, and Canales, Colonels Carasco and Carabajal, are profiounced by Snaniarflis. as nnnrlv ne nncai Mo oo I J j -J UO follows: A-rees-ta, Am-poo-dia, Ma-hee-a, Co-na-les, Ca-rassco, Ca-ra-vu-hal,?the vowel a, in each instance, having the sound of that letter in the English word far. The j becomes h, the b, v. The British government have shipped 35,000 percussion muskets for the use of the Canada mijitia. The Montreal papers say that the Burnhopeside, from London, expected shortly, is freighted with 250 thirty-two pounders, shot, shell and powder, for that colony. Upwards of 5000 volunteers have offered their services to the Governor of Tennessee. Two weeks have just elapsed from the date of Governor Brown's first order, and almost double the number of volunteers required under th*e call of the General Government have been reported. Tennessee.?The brave men of this {State have turned out nobly, many companies more than were required having volunteered. Those who first offered their ser vices had priority, and the others were selected by ballot. From the 1st Division, five companies had been accepted from Memphis. Five companies of Infantry and two of Cavalry from the second, and six companies of Infantry and three of Cavalry from the third Division. Mexican Flag.?Gen. Taylor, says the N. O. Times, with a judgment that goes intuitively to its mark, in the conferring of a com? plimentary favor, has just lorwarded, by Col. Winthrop, Aid-deCamp to Gov. Johnson, a Mexican standard?one of his trophies on the glorious 8th and 9th ult. It was in token of his sense of what is due to Louisiana for her promp-* tlfll/ln * ? ^ in iui waruidg reimorcements at the late crisis. LouisU ana knows how to appreciate the gift. The Ciibrokbes.?Disturbances continue among the Cherokees. The latest paper received from that region record the deaths ot two Cherokees and one white man. From the Van Buren Intelligencer we extract the following:? ' After all, the poor Cherokees are their own worst enemies. They abuse almost constantly the Government of the United States, notwithstanding the many benefits that they have received at its hands. We know they deny that Government has done them any benefit, but that is always the cry of the ungrateful. If the CheroIronCI liO/l i trtr\ ?uv/k) niiu U1I|>IUVCU MIC UCIICUIS conferred upon them by the Government, and their leaders had not speculated upon and fraudulently made use of these benefits, they might now have been the most prosperous and happy people In the South west. They are their own enemies, and unless a speedy reform takes place, they will soon be left with no name upon the face of the earth. Alas ! for the poor Cherokees! North and South Carolina Hail Roads.?A very enthusiastic meeting was held at Wilmington on Wednesday evening to receive the report of the delegates that atten* ded the Sumpterville Convention on the subject of connecting the North and South Carolina Hail Roads. The meeting authorized the survey of a route, and provided measures to carry it into effect. A question in law.?A man has been indicted in New Orleans for stealing an umbrella. His counsel contend that this is no ofTence? that umbrellas are public property ?and pleads custom to take it out of the statute against felony. A great interest is excited for the result, as in case of conviction, it is iearea uiousands ot otherwise good citizens will be suddenly obliged to fly to escape the wrath of the law. It is stated in some books on insanity that it once manifested it self in a patient by inducing him to return a borrowed umbrella. The doctors gave an unanimous opinion, according to'the authority we have referred to, that the symptoms were decidedly lunatic, 1 showing a want of prudence in not preparing for " a rainy day," and the man was consigned to a madhouse, as the only proper place for him. It is not known whether he i ever got out. The Union and Planter's Banks of Nashville, Tennessee, have i tendered to the Governor a loan of 8100,000 each" should he need it, , to equip or forward volunteers. \ A CARD. Dr. T. A.
