TeraTfcvolution iu Mexico lias attained h
power and oouaUtenijr mi eh demonstrate, if
they not speedily- cheeked, that Santa
Anna will again have to retire lo priraje life,
and to the joya of his hacienda at Carthagona.
The revolutionary parties have decided
w iiuitv.Mwdcr thc.!ei1. ordiip of Alvarez, and j
the chances arc decidedly in favor of his suo-1
cow in overturning the existinggovernment.!
Ho is already master of the most important
Mexican possessions on the Pliciflo const, and
the villajSps and towns of the. interior arc
rdjpidly dccfttriug in his favor, Santa Anna's
. generals, whoso patriotism is always nt tlie
command of the highest bidder, alroady perceiving
the dangcr,~lire deserting himr and
it is altogether probable that in a few weeks
we shall hear of his total overthrow and the
.accession of Alvarez to tho supreme power.
Wlmt will bo the future of Mexico, whether
under Santa Anna or Alvarez, or perhaps
under some now aspirant who may oust them
both, it would be in vain to predict. The -(

progress?it is continuously a scone of trouble#
and warn, and of succeeding rulers, who
" ' bringdo the people no additional security for
life or property. It would be difficult tiow
w?y what "principles; if thcro be any, are
proposed as the ultimate object of tlic prcs.
?nt struggle, aud it would be almost fatuity
fc> expect from it any results of permanent
benefit to the oouutrv. Corrupt and bad as
6*nta Anna's government is, there is no prospect
of an improvement by his successor.?
Mexioo has in truth no men of patriotic impulse#
or of honest intentions, who can rally
the people to the rofonrfation of abuses, the
protection of order and liberty, and the establishment
of permamcnt institutions.? j.
Bankrupt in her finances and crippled in her
rosources, she is 6tilL more hopelessly bereft
of honest public men and reliable indepen- 1
dent citizens. Money is a primary necessity 1
to the stability of the government, and unless
It obtains plenty of it the administration j
must fall. Santa Anna has proved an un-1
scrupulous adept in the procurement of means 1
but in spite of his exertions and willingness I
to sacrifice everything to tho exigencies of
Ikis position, he seem* to bo unable longer to i
supply his treasury with the money to purchase
the fidelity of his officers and tho subjection
of unruly partisans.
Mexico will only learn from exeperionoo '
the value of liberty and peace,and the lesson <
must be taught through a long course of i
turbulent revolutions, which in the end may (
leave her unable to protit even by the school- i .
ing which has cost her so dearly. Her great'
faults aro inherent in her people?they be- j
long to her race?and have been bred into j I
strength during the centuries she has suffer- .
ed under the desjxjtisni of her rulers and of :
the church. The tendency to revolution ha* j j
become with her people a chronic affection,!
and they lly to it after each brief interval of j 1
penco with a readiness that ever places them ! 1
at the mercy of aspiring cheiftains. whose oh- i i
joct is limited fo the gratification of their own ,
ambition and greed of gain. We can prom- j
ho ourselves, tncrofoie, no improvement fori
Mexico from the change of her rulers, now j#
apparently oh tho verge of consummation.? 1 t
Alvarez, who is mentally inferior to Santa t
Anna, has no character for uprightness, patriotism.
or stateirianshii) that will enable him
to relieve the country troin its desperate condition.
A brief reign and the certain disap- 1
pointment of whatever expectations may I J
nave been placed upon his government will j ,
turn tlio tide more strongly against him than :
it now runs against Santa Anna, and another
revolution will be demanded in tho vain 1
hope of OHoaping from evils that only patient
habits of self-restraint can cure. Until her ^
people at largo acquire the capability of j
governing the.nselves, Mexico must be rent
by discord and harrassod by a suceeession of j ,

yet have kcj?t our readers, generally, posted I
up as to the doings of tlii.s new party.' Every I
day dorelopes something now in regard to it, I
and if wc were to bolicvc all that is said
we would be prone to believe that it will
shortly sweep over our entire country. There
Kieins to be a spirit of intolerance existing
amongst thoso who proffss to believe in the
doctrines of the aforesaid party, which must,
and will prove in the end, (if it be so) obnoxious
to all true Americans. To triumph
over their opponents they have instituted a
reckless system of proscription, which, while
it proves effectual, as to the removal from
oflice, nil who are not allied to them, it carries
with it an air of oppression and tyranny.
which is equ^JUd only by the malignancy
of the most fanatical of the anti-Amori
can party. If it requires such means as this
in purge the IlltJi and seutn from our legislatures
and public offices, they must surely be
n a most loathsome and cdioiu condition
[f they will confine themselves! atone to the
. allot box, the palHAfum of tho lights of
\mcrican citizens, then will we consent to
oin them in their (-flints to destroy the in-f
luenee of Romanism in our country. Should !
hey, in their anxiety to crush at a single!
blow the object of their organization, and by
.heir nets of intolerance, totally disregarding
die sacred lights of man, and the still more :
acred right of thought, their fanaticismihould
meet the same fuio which has awaited
he cflbrta of all associations which have attempted
simila* undertakings.
We are an American?native horn?and
mtertain principles which are as strong and
mplacablo towards those propagated by
apacy, as a just reason and proper regard
vill permit us to entertain. But we are
lonvinced that there is a far more available
node than the one which has been given us
>y the present order of Know Nothings.?
Ve can conccivo of no worse principle, cither
n an individual or in a community than to
ersecute and proscribe a particular sect.?
NTo matter now unsound and heretical their
loctrines may appear, their errors and falseties
will most assuredly he overlooked by
i ?i
nose wnose smypaunes may nave been ex
ited on account of their oppression.
'Die history of Romanism demonstrates
hat her bishops and priests have always eDleavored
to 'usurp power wherever it has
>een practicable and possible for them to do
o. Moreover, they have attempted toabolih
the common school system of 'education,
11 our country, which would be promoting
nd furthering their doctrines, for it hasover
ecn a principle with them to keep in ignoanec
all those who are under their domin>n,
especially in regard to the Tiihle, which
well known, would he, and is, at the disposal
of every child who attends a common
clinch
All of these encroachments and infringements
can he root successfully upon a better
>!an. The fpnstitution of tho United States

Lrictly gujpfs, agnintt the invasion of our
ights, it protects the rights of othors , and
his great dessideralum can only he sustainki
by keeping unstained and free from all
t>leniish,;the freedom y>f the ballot box. If it
eunains in it* original purity, it has power
,o j*r?vont the uprising of all sectarianism,

i THE MILITARY MEETING.
An enthusiastic meeting came off on
Wednesday evening last, at McBee's Hall.?
A suitable, and wothink, beautiful uniform
was adopted, and the company was, by a
motion, styled "Tub Butlkr Guaiuia." An
election was held for offlcora which resulted
in the selection of the following gentlemen :
Captain : II. L. Tu HUSTON.
1st Lieut: A. I>. Hoke.
2d Lieut.: W. II. Campbki.l.
3d Lieut: T. C. Cox.
Another meeting was ordered to be held
on Wednesday night next, at which time the j
committee appointed to procure the additional
and sufficient number of nAiues, will sub-,
mit them to the meeting.

In his chargi to the Oranl Jury his

more to injure Columbia than all other causes

received due notice at his hands. Would '
that we had more such independent, fearless i

Judging from what we have been able to ,

upon the affray, a verdietof justifiable homicide
will bo rendered. It doe* not argue

In the March number of Putnam's Maga

but upon whom the hand of penury had
been laid, and the "current*" of whose noble
"souls" had been frozen by the withering
touch.
For a youth to be unknown to fortune is
enough ; the world seek* no farther. What
is he? Who is hoi What can ho do!?
He's got nothing. And thus is the poor
youth, whoever ho may ho, summarily dis
missed from further consideration. No one '5
fears his influence, no one expects to make
any considerable advantage of him, and
what good or ill becomes of him is a matter
with which most men have little to do.
Many great men, it is true, have risen from
obscurity?have overcome circumstances?
have made circumstance-1. Hut who can tell j
how many, like the flowers that have only!
bloomed to dock the desert waste, have been
crushed by adversity, for every one who has
had the good fortune to rise above his circumstances
? It is an error wliiidi tlw? wm-l.! I
has fallen into, that it requite* adrersity to J
bring out the true character,-and that it will]
in all case* develop the mind. As well j
might it be urged that the wild forest is the
most fit soil to develop the growth of the
grain that beautifies our cultivated fields, o:
that the savage state is the best adapted to
bring out true genius. Do not all of our j
great men who have risen from obscurity,
carry with them the marks of neglected!
yeuth?the foot-prints of that "chill penury"
which deprived them of an early education?
No future industry can fully and completely
repair the injury occasioned by this early
neglect. Somo of the rustic marks of boyhood
will still cling to the statesman and the
orator. He has not perhaps tho free and
easy speech, theologanco and ease of manner,
which a cultivated boyhood might have
given him. He may no great, he may be
powerful, but eaily culture would have added
to him grace and elegance, and perhaps
have given hiin more extensive views, h
greater variety of thoughts, a finer capacity
to investigate?a mind which he could have
used with more facility, and with which he
could have accomplished more for the good >
of mankind.

Corn and Cob Meal.
Tub grinding of corn and cobs together,
which we have heard ridiculed very much
by some, formerly, has now become au every
day occurrence, farmer* being convinced
that tho cob contains too much nutriment to
be thrown away.
Our experience heretofore in regard to iu
use is this: for those animals that chew the cud
it is a most excellent provender, but for these
that do not it is not so valuable. Thus, for
oxen, cows and sheep, it is a capital feed.
These animals,after what they swallow in
warm vat, called the first stomach or paunch,
havo the faculty of throwing it up again in
small portions called cud, and chewing it
over in a leisurely manner until it is ground
very tine, and then after being, thus thorough
mingled with tlio saliva, swallowing it again into
another stomach, where all its nutritive
matter is extracted by the proper organ*
created for that purjwsc. *
The horse and the hog having no such organs
to re-o]bow, do not dcrivo so much benefit
from tho ground eob, a* tlio animals
above named.
Hens derive more benefit from corn and
cob meal, t han they do from corn meal alone. *

First they take dry fool into their crop*,
here it becomes soaked as if it were in a
warm vat, from this it posse* into the gizzard,
which, furnished with gravel Hi ones, acts the
part of grinding lino, by aid of strong muscles
of that organ, whatever passes into it.
Here, the particles of the cob menl, thoroughly
pulverized and mingled with the gastrin
juices, become dissolved, nnd form nutrition
for the laxly.
We do not mean to say that corn and cob
meal is no', good provender for horses and
hogs, but that they do not derive so much
benefit from pound for pound, or bushel for
bushel, as oxen, oows, dec., do.?Afaint Far*

Good Coffee.
Ox course every body makes coffeo their
their own way, ami, there aro many different
ways of doing the thing, some of which
are very g<xxl, nixi others decidedly had. A?
good cotl'ee is a very rare production, although
every IkkJv thinks they have tho very
best, the following receipt from the Scientific
American, for making, it timy be worth the
trial of a test. The journal says:
"Tho best way of making it, is to put the
ground eoffee into a wide mouthed bottle
over night, and pour rather moro that half
a pint 01 water upon each ounce and a half,
and then to cork the bottle ; in the rooming ,
to loosen the cork, put the bottle into a pan
of water, and bring the wnter to a boiling
heat. The coffee is then to be poured on
clear, nnd the later portion at rained ; that
which is not drunk immediately is kept
closely stopped, nnd heated as it is wanted.
Onions ron Fowls.?Scarcely too much
can he said in praise of onions for fowls.
They seem to be a preventive and remedy
for various diseases to which a domestic poultry
is liable. Having frequently tested their
excellence, wo speak undorstandingly. For
gapes nnd inflammation of (the throat, eyes
und head, onions are almost a specific. "VVe
would recommend feeding fowls, and especially
the young chickens, as many as they
will eat often as twice or three times a week.
They should be finely shopped. A small addition
of corn ?n?al is an improvement.
