The suspension of payments continue, and business remained in the worst condi tion. The Government had called a meet ing for the purpose of procuring resources, which I believe can hardly be obtained, because the clergy is not able to pay the amount of $90,000 monthly,'asked by the Government; and on the othor hand the actual condition of the several States is not such as to expect from them any- re sources. .li s e e l an e oes. The Washington Union has the follow ing notice of the preparations for a descent on Santa Fe: The Volunteer Erpedition to Santa Fe. This expdition, under the commant of Colonel Kearney. to which this country looks with so much interest, is at present pushed forward with the utmost vigor. AU the supplies required , ordnance, stores, subsistence, baggage trains, &c., were ex pected to be at Fort Leavenworth early. during the present week. When it is re membered, says the St. Louis Republican of June 2d, that this expedition will re quire tear a thousand mules for draught, several hundred horses for the ordnance, and for mounting 'the dragoons, at least two hundred wagons, a large stock of cat tle on foot, and other stores in proportion, and that the requisition only reached here last Sunday, some idea nay be formed of the despatch with which the United States Government officers have performed their duties. The same journal adds: No delay, we are assured, will occur, if the volunteers are as promptly at the point of rendezvous as the supplies, or are ready for the march as soon as all other things are prepared. Several of the companies raised in coun ties on the Missouri River, will set out to day for Fort Leavenworth, and it is be lieved that nearly the whole number will be mustered into the service at the fort, by last of this. or the first of next week. If any delay is caused by the non-arrival of the volunteers, it will probably occur from the companies raised in this county-they being farthest off, and having greater dif. ficulties 1o contend with, than those in the interior counties. We presume that as l soon as the companies are ready to leave, t they will furnished with the necessary transportat e a; and it occurs to us that t they should be despatehed as fast as they can present themselves. properly mounted t and- equipped. At all events, we hope i therewill: be 'no delay on account of the troops from this quarter." Rather Fight than Talk.-So says Elias Earle, of Greenville Dittrict. Not in words but by. action. In a card to the voters of That District, he says: Fellow-Citizsns.-Having been solici ted by numerous friends to offer my servi ces as a candidate for a seat in the Leg isiacure, I consented to do so, and have been canvassing the District for some time in that character. But J having volun teered my services for the campaign against Mexico, and not knowing at what< moment we may he called on to repair to the seat of war,lI feel i to be a duty 1 { owe to my country, and all who have I kindly offered me their support, to decline being a candidate for the preseat. To the i citizens of Greenville my warmest thanks i are due for the favor with which I haver been received by so many of them, and l they will, I trust, accept my best wishes for their welfare and happiness." I Drinking at Funerals.-One hand red & ( fifty years ago, in sober New England, a liberal supply of liquor was regarded as en indispensable provision for a funeral. 1I Even at a much later tlate. (says the Boston Traveller, it was the custom toe provide intoxicating liquors for friends ande attendants upon funeralisolemnities. Tbe 1 unnatural and debasing habit, in fact, only i disappeared under the restraining influence I of the motderr, temperance reformation. 1 The Rev. Thomas Coppett, of 1 pa wich, i died in November, 1685. The day stsc- a I eeding his death, the Selectmen of the c own held a meeting and voted that Deacon d Goodhue provide a barrel of wine and t half a htundred weight of sugar ; that Mr.h Rust psovide some spice and ginger for a tioe cider ; that some persons be appetated t to look to the drawing of the cider agaitr the time appointed for the funeral'; and I that Ensign Stacy see that there be tl "effectual care taken with respect to the I above-named occasions." f?

The communication of 'Patmetto,' i this day's paper, is a tribute alike eloquent and just, to the lofty patriotism and pure character of Mr. Calhoun. In the letter accompanying it, our correspondent is cor rect in saying that our remarks about the efect produced by Mr. Calhoun's taking snuff, was probably not prompted by ill will to that great statesman, but was made "for the humor of it." We will add, how ever, that the Edgefield Meeting "laid upon the table" the resolution which found nothing to condemn. and every thing to approve, in the entire course of Mr. Cal boon during this session. We would have been better satisfied, had he been content to manifest his scruples as did Mr. Crit tenden and Mr. McDuffie. We woulc have been still more pleased, had his course manifested a livelier sympathy with the the ipopular heart, which felt, before it reasoned, that Mexico was at war with us, and by her own act, when the news arri ved that blood had been shed east of the Rio Grande, by the armed troops of her Military despot, sent for the purpoae. This was the consummation of the threat long made. It was a consummation anti cipated. Sutisequent reasoning, slower, and not more true than the impulse to the heart, proved that correctness of the judg ment, then pronounced by the popular voice. The action of the American Con gress meets with a ;hearty response from the American people. Yet, among those who differed with It, from sinister feeling, or honest conviction, Mr. Calhoun stands an upright statesman, and a pure patriot. Comne nicated. MR. CALHOUN. Mr. Edior.-In a recent number of your paer, you have intimated that it is suppos ed, "every man in So. Carolina sneezes when Mr. Calhoun takes snuff," and pub lished a resolution offered and rejected at a village meeting in oar State, in refuta tion ofthe idea that this is universally true. Will you permit a subscriber on this side or the Savannah, and one who is as sincere a well wisher to Georgia as yourself, to say a few worn to this ? Though born &s bre ' - rep: :can, permit me to say that I thin, he feeling of loy alty is one that does-honor to the human heart. Loyalty to ones country; its laws and institutions, is every where esteemed a virtue, and enjoined as o'ne of the cardi nal duties of every civilized or savage man. But voluntary, unbought, uncom pelled homage to a great man, as it is a rare, so it is a higher virtue. It involves an acknowledgment of inferiority. It wounds our self-love. In this country, it onflicts powe-fully with those notions of individual equality & independence which we cherish with such ardour from our cradles. It requires some strength of mind, much elevation of sentiment for any one to pass his life under the shadow, even lithe greatest and purest man, steadily and consistently acknowledging his supe iority and paying reverence to it. No rdinary man can do it. Even Peter de ied his Master. No ordinary people can lo it. Athens banished Aristides. Re publics are ungrateful. Here is the rea ton.
