TLiF'l LAND OFFiCE. rThe demnotistrations that were mnodo in i-eference to this office. during the last ses ,iw'n of our Legislature, are strongly itadi cative of a determa-ination to close it at an earily daly.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. OFFICE OF THuE DAILY Taopic," New Orleans, Jap. 13, 1 P. I The Mexican schooner Julia, ZaIduo do, master, arrived here this morning from Vera Cruz, which placo she Ieft on the 30th ult., bringing us papers from that place to the 29th, and from the -city of Mexico to the 23d ult. The Julia also brought J. Tilghman Hoffman, Esq. bear er of despatches to our Government, from whon we learn that Parades was on bis march to the city of Mexico, and that our Minister, Mr. Slidell, ivas still there. From the Vera Cruz and Mexico papers, we have hurriedly gleaned the foilowing important news: The Moneteur of the 21st uIt., says that the Supreme.Government has ap pointed Gen. Bustanente Commander in Chief, and Gen. Rorregon his second in command, of the Army to oppose Gen. Parades. That paper says the Govern ment is indefatigably working to quell the revolt, and that it. bas.already ;aken the necessary measures tt put the Capitol in a stato of defence. . On the 21st uIt., the Senate concurred with the Government in giving Dictatorial powers to President Herrqra. El Siglo says that Parades has seized upon the Public Treasury of the Fair at St. Juan, which had been com mitted to his charge. El Veracruzano of the 24th, says that on the 23d, a salute from the castle of San Juan de Uulloa, under the command. of Cassanove. a-i nounced the first movement of the Army and Navy, in favor of the Proclamation of San Louis Potosi, by Gen. Parades. and that it was immediately seconded by the garrison of the place, at whose head is the brave Laudero, with the exception of a part of the battalion Sigero, num bering about 100 men, who left their bar racks with their officers, refusing to join their companions. This body', as they were marching out, fired a volfey on those who remained, killing a captain and 10 veterans, and wounding three others. It then tnarched to the Government palace. and was ordered to quarier in the Convent of San Francisco. where they remained at ihe latest dates. The same payer sayi that at a laek our, ' efl'bi pronounced ii- favor of Para es, an tr, it was motmetarily wailing for a similar movement in Orisana and Perot. On the 23d. the forces of Parades were said to be only three days march from the city of Metico. On the 24th, the troops at Puebla un der Gen. luelain, who had received or ders to march to the Capit-.l, refused to depart, and it was certain that, noiwith standing the efforts of the Getteral to the contrary. they .would soon declare in fa vor of' Parades. The Veracruzann of the 29th, says that it learns by letters of responsible persons. from Mexico, that the imbecile and short sighted Cabinet had mortgaged to Eng land the department of Yucatan. on c-au dition that she would pay its immense debt. There. says that paper, are facts that will soon be divulged. A Circular of the 24th, transmitted by President Herrera to the Governorsof the difterent Departments, delegates to said Governors the tremendous extraordinary powers with which Congress has invested him, and already had twe Capitol of the Republic began to feel the weight of such despotisn, as imyprisonmente, irrespeptive of persons or characters, had heco,ne common. and even the Arch Bishop. Ga I duno, had been obliged to fly from 1 persecution that awaited him. Gen. A Im ptdia had gone over to the revolutionists4, .n.d th. Gover nment troops had publicly espoused~t their cause... Gen. Almhtonte was concealed, fearing peraecutions. The latest intelligence is to the effect that the nutmerous cavalty of :bat Gen eral wetre in the ntear vicinity of the Cal) itol. His at tillery and infantr.y wecre be tween the city and Arroya Sarco. The cities of Orizava and Guanajuato hatd al so daclared for Parades at the approach of his forces. The same paper says, that the Gov ernent Council, after long deliberation, had determiord not to receive Mr. Slidell iti htis ordinary ollicial capacity. notwith standing .its previous engagement to re ceive a Plenipotentiary from the United States, with special powers to treat on the subject of' Texas. This conclusion of the Govertnmotnt took place after Mr. Par rott hadl reached Mexico on his rein from the Utnited States. Great Cornmotion in Nwwuioo.-Under this head, the WVarsacw Signal, of the 24th, publishes what follows: "Just as our paper was going to pi'ess, we received intelligence fromt Nauvon, thai 1he Lord has accepted the Temple, anc that tho lottg pron:ised endo.wmrent ftm which the Saimts have beetn so lotng proe paritng, is now heing received! This en dowment consits in an abrogationt of al existing mariages, and every good sain is at liberty to cast away his present wife and take any other wvho may suit 'binr better. Trho consegemence is, all Nauvoc is in commotion, and the saints are .run ning abotut, perfectly wild with excite ment. .The reason why the Lord con c luded to endowi his satttts. in thtis singula mnanner. vals been use some husban'ds weri wilingi'gf Orgon. and their wive iobJere,' antd mice adsa, so they bei - inisuiacched, the Lord-concluded to pre -. vent dificulty by gila """og0 .- whiinca tonselet no a r, -- - eo The Rail Road.-The enthubiaswi e hibited by the people along the.-whold route of the , proposed Rail Road 'frotl Greenville to Columbia, augers well fd the success of the enterprise. it-was stated in the letter of a very respectatile citizen of Newberrry, which we publish ed two weeks since, that that .Districi would subscribe $300,000 to the stock.-... - If she does this, can it be doubteil:that the citizens of Greenville, who are more deeply interested than any others di the route. will take an equal amount'!-r Greeuville can and ought to do it,; and with a little help from Henderson and, Buncombe Counties, we feel conddent she will do it. There is not the slightest doubt in our mind, that if three-fifths of the stock issubscribed, the State will-take the remaining two-fifths. The bill intro duced at the late session of the Legisla tore, to authorize the State to take two; fifths of the stock in any Rail Road witbin the State. when three-fifths shall have been subscribed, failed, fpr the reason that it was too general in its character. Let any particular road be specified, after three ffhs of the stock is taken, and our word for it. the Legislature will nor besi tale to pass.a bill andiprizitg the State td take the remainder. . Let it never be said that this undertaking. so vital to our pros. perity, has failed for the want of a little of that energy aa- enterprise whieb have become so charisteristic of our sister State of Georgia. It would be a reproaclh and a disgrace to the people of our State, and would tend to discooraje them from attempting it again f'or many years.. -It does seem to us that the tide in our'affairs is now at its flood ; and we shall 'soon be called upon to decide whether, by availing Durselves of it, we will glide onward, wit h rail road speed, to wealth and greav, nets, or stand in.shameful indolence where we are, or. perhaps retrograde. We hope and trust that those who-have been so liberal.in their professions -of a willingness to aid in the good work, when they are called upon to manifest that willingness in a more palpab d-sub-/ lihl tananr, will not be round who have-nof dred shares, take ten ; and .if-yotiec - take ten. take one. One share seeins very small consequence ; but if one half of those who are able to subscribe .thi- - small amou-nts will do so, the sum, in the aggregate, will lie of immense advantage. -Greenville Mountaineer. A leter from Richmond, Va. says-"A reqt4ition has been made by the authori ties of Parkersburg, for three hundred btand of arnmi, and they have been sent front the Armory. The cause of this re quisition is a threat on the part of the 0 bit people to invade the town, and liber ate the kidnappers there confined." The Wife.-It needs no guilt to break a husband's heart. The absence of con tent, the mutterin.g of spleen, the untidy. dress and careless. homi the forbidding scowl anti deserted hearth.;. these and. other nameless neglecis-rviihout a crime. amung them-have harrowed io the q'uick the heart's core-of many a man,..and planting there beyond the reach of cure, the germ of despair. O! may women be fore that sight arrives; dwell on the rec, ollections of her jouth, and cheriehin the dear it(a of the tu-:eful time, awake. ap4 kee) alive the pr:-wae she then so kindly rave. And lt-a-1h ,he may be the in juringiz one, the forgoten, but not the for getful wife-a happy allusiou to that hour of love-a kindly welcome to a cpgtfosa ble hnme-a smile of love- to' banish boa tile word-a kiss of peace to pardo~n e.ll the past-and rte hardest heart that ,ever locked himnself within the breast of s $sh - - tan will soften to her charms and bid.her live, as she had hoped-her years in matchless bliss--loving and .eonwntred the soit her ofa staro wing hour-th'e source of comnfort and the spring of joy.
