tiinstiiias is tho most glad festival of the church throughout the world. Viewed in tho strictness of its rcli gious import, it is tho anniversary of the birth of the Redeemer of and is therefore paramount to all other festivals of the church in its importance. To the young it is the sea son, par imminence, of holiday and not unuiinglcd with devout thanksgivings to l(d fur his loving kindness. The formal cere-monies and social observances which are peculiar to this season all purtuke of the nature ot tlve momentous event of thebirth of our Saviour. Universal thanksgiving and bounteous charities are the appropriate forms by whic to mark the Were the institution at onco deprived of the sanction of its divine Origin, yet would we not see it abolished.

It is most meet that once in the year, by general consent, the old and young should forget the cores of plodding, weary life, and give themselves up to the enjoyment and pious contemplation of the blessings of this world. It is the appropriate season for social reunions and domestic gayeties; but while wc all sliiye in these appropriate mani festations of joy and gladness at the return of the season, it becomes us to bear in mind that the highest duty connected with the day is god like charity. Let each, to the full extent of his m. opportunities, this day remember the poor. blessed as we aro in this delightful clime with the gifts of a kind Providence, yet is therO in our own midst much of want, suffering and anguish.

To relieve and mitigate these is the first duties of ao good Christian nor must wc forget that the destihttiori'which has the strong est claim upon is not that which stalks abroad, obvious to all eyes it should lc sought out in the hiding-places wherein it would fain neck concealment. lct the poor and needy, the sick and broken-hearted, have cause to rcmetn-. tier the day with pleasure and gratitude. Thus fhall it be blessed to all to him who hath abundance of which to impart, and to the weary and heavy laden. Counting the Cost.

We regret to notice the frequency with which lhe Mexican war is dir cussed by the press, with reference only to Us cost. The cost of the war should have been considered before it was de-clared'; but now that we are in the midst of one, it is scarcely proper to assail the administra-, tion upon that score, save only as it may make an improvident use of the money appropriated by Congress for niilitary operations. In regard to the commencement of the war, we are amongst those who do not think the United States drew the sword any too soon. The Mexican Government did not give us an option in me case, i ue question ol war was settled by "an act of the enemy Congress so decided so that the matter of cost was at once adjourned to tho overbearing necessity of the case. Congress might huve decided that it was too expensive to chastise insult and oppression, too extravagant to invade Mexico, and contented themselves by ordering Gen.

Taylor to guard the Eastern bank of the Rio Grande or, indeed, to retire behind the Nueces. But such a course would not have satisfied the American people any more than it met the sanction of the National Legislature. If, in the numerous homilies wo read upon die cost of the war, particular instances were cited of extravagance, or needlessand wasteful expenditures were pointed xuit, there would be less qucrulousness in them. Taking the sum total of the war expenses, as presented in the Secretary of tho Treasury's report, it does not appear that the cost has been disproportionate to the achievements of the Army. The Government has been made to pay dearly for some kof its purchases but this was unavoidu blc, and the time that would have been con sumed in cheapening its bargains was worth than the money that might huve been saved.

Tho economical system upon which the military establishment of the United States has been kept for a scries of years, was not auspicious to vigorous and cheap invasion of a foreign country upon an emergency. Thei rank and file of the regular sen ice was insuf ficient to garrison the fortifications on our coast and frontier, and the means of transporting even this meagre, force was wholly inadequate. 1 he sudden enlistment of volunteers demanded as sudden an enlargement of all the appointments and materiel of the service. To provide this at once required a heavier expenditure than the -same tilings would have cost, if they had been collected leisurely. Taking every thing into consideration, the war has been conducted cheaper than it was sfpposcd it would be, and certainly as cheap as it should have been.

II there has been a fuult in this respect it has been upon the oppr site side. It is 'questionable, for instance, if the Government should not have had vessels for the Gulf service constructed at heavier cost than the sums paid for SUCh aS llftve tieen nn.U. 1 at secona nana, The navy has been sadly in need of steam tug oi greater power than the revenue cutters thjft have been operating with it. Large" quantities of provisions and munitions of war have Ufecn lost by not hAing more seaworthy st6anirS in the transportation service. Some of thejequip-menta of the Army have not been made" 0f tlie best material In these respects tlaCro may have been extravagance in a desire to economize; but how far, if at all, the Government is II.

l. tf .1 iu iiituiic, wo wuiuu uo gmu II Ur6 "cost counters" signify. War is an expen eive luxury, and no outlay is extravagant which is attended with corresponding effectiveness in military operations. There is no greater mis take than to suppose that a cheap war will cost the people less than an' expensive one, if the heavier appropriations are wisely and promptly applied. A cheap war wUl for ever.

A sharp war is short and costly. Ono would be a chronic 'drain upon the treasury; the other a sudden exhaustion an I a speedy conval escence. Let the war be as short and as sham as money can make it and Mexico will save us the trouble of counting iu cost. fir Nix steamboats ply regularly between Wilmiugtiio indFayettevUKN.C. rir The ladies of Tuscaloosa have it in contemplation to pay up the interest on the State debt of Alabama, by a voluntary sump tuary law.

Tlie plan is based upon tne -laei census, which gives a total of 107,181 women above the age of twenty-one, and 64,180 under that aee. Now, of these it is thought that 50,000 wear silks, laces and woollens, and that tlie excess of cost for these foreign fabrics, over the charges for calicoes and muslins which are to bo used instead, will, when paid into the treasury, preserve the State from all danger of repudiation. The Mobile Herald and Tribune, remarking upon this fiscal project, acknowledges its feasibility, and conjures the male portion of the population to second the patriotic views of tho Tuscaloosa lady financiers, by abjuring broadcloth, "cigars and cogniac" for a term of yenrs, and thus pay off the debt as well as interest. The editor thereupon indulges in visions of that sweet time when Philhs and Chloe led their flocks afield, and the yeanlings gambolled on the green sward whilst Strephon piped "sub teg-mine fagi." Alas! for the realization of these dreams of liquidation and pastoral simplicity, the best laid schemes of financiers "gang aft a-gley. The elements of failure and dissolution nre mixed up in the first clause of the Tuscaloosa plan we lay no stress upon tlie Herald's proposition including men in the system for since Gough has become greater from his backslid-ings," as tlie New York papers inform us, like Antinpus, stronger from his fall, we hold i.t impossible that the revenues of Alabama will prosper much against such a shining example.

The division of tlie ladies into two classes, those over and those under the age of twenty-one, will be fatal to; the patriotic ends contemplated. The public spirited projectors of the Tuscaloosa scheme must have been either young beauties rejoicing in many beaux, or matrons in goodly estate as to help-mates and continuations. Would Madame de Stael, or Mrs. Mashani, or Harriet Martineau, or any other female intriguant or spinster politician of experience, have adopted a financial measure involving the necessity of single ladies, over the age of twenty-one, acknowledging the family record, and that too to be made eligible to taxa tion? This is. a mortal mistake in the plan, and will exclude from the list of taxablcs tlie moat desperate silk wearers in the Republic The inverse plan would be more successful; that is to say, to list every unmarried female under twenty-one for taxation, and publish her as above that age upon default of payment Married women should be rated separately, ant widows allowed to fall back upon the clause relating to single damsels.

Under such a law there would be no voluntary evasions of the tax, and tlie treasury would reap a great contingent advantage from those who may have forgotten the dute of their birth a weakness epidemic towards the close of tlie "teens." There ought to be a provision inserted in the plan for plain cases. By allowing persons at a small premium to be put upon the tux list nt tinder ages, go that five yeurs might elapse before the age of twenty-one, and then giving them a certificate with permission to go upon the half-pay list, the revenue would be kept up at its maximum, as it would receive more from forgetful maidens than1 it would loose by the good souls whom mohair caps make conscientious in the premises This matter of providing for a state debt is a grave one and whibt giving due credit to the patriotism of the pro jectors of a scheme of liquidation, it would Le doing them injustice not to point out the defects in tlie system. It is not imryobuble that the ladies of Alabama generally, who are more beholden to nature than the looms of Lyons for their commanding appearance, would co-operate in the plan, if this preliminary difficulty could be removed. Tne idea of an auxiliary male society should be abandoned at once. The ladies are the only resource on the voliui tary plan.

They arc willing souls, and fruitful in their expedients. LATER FROM THE ARMY. Arrival of the Blansachnsetts Later from Tampico Army Movements, Jfcc. By the arrival of the U. S.

auxiliary steamship Massachusetts, Cnpt. D. Wood, we have received Tampico dates to the I5th and Brazos to the 18th inst. We acknowledge our indebtedness to Capt. W.

for his kindness in forwarding the latest information, and also to Mr. A. J. Clifton, late mate of the Neptune, for a list of vessels in the harbor of Tampico. There had been quite an excitement at Tampico, caused by a report'that a large body of Mexican cavalry had been seer, borhood.

Ofthe truth or fals.ty of the report we have no means of knowing. On tlie 7th inst. the bark Mopang, Capt. Huffin-ton, in crossing the bar off Tampico, in charof a pilot, struck on the north breaker and lost her rudder. She was abandoned, but 1 fl" nnl trtWPil trt tVlfi MtV.

Patterson with the rest of his division and train. Through Mr. Beard, one of the passengers by the Massachusetts, we learn that Gen. Tuy- lor was to leave Monterey on the lUth inst. tor Victoria, with Gen.

Twiggs's division and a portion of Gen. Smith's brigade. It is also re ported that Gen. Urrea, ot wiiom we nave not heard of late, was at Victoria with 6000 ca- v1rv. fipn.

Wool remained at Parras and Gen. Worth at Saltillo. It was positively rc ported and believed in camp that Santa Anna had 28,000 men at San Luis. The following items we copy from the Mata moros Flag of the lGth inst. Mexican Rertorts.

A Mexican, just'arrived from Tampico, informs us that Santa Anna is purging his army of all officers to whom the remotest suspicion ot cowardice can do at tached, and retaining only such as lie lias tne most implicit confidence iu their bruvery and skill. Gen. Amnudiu, Col. Carasco, and seve ral others, he states, have been imprisoned, charged with cowardice, and an order has been issued dooming to instant death any officer who shall disgrace his flag by cowardly or unoflicerlike conduct in battle. Santa Anna he represents as having the unlimited conli dence of the soldiery and to such a pitch has he raised their ardor by eloquent appeals to their passions that it would Be impossible to conceive the enthusiasm tnat prevails among inein.

a general desire is expressed to be led against the invaders. The following paragraph, in relation to the hospital at Matamoros, wc copy from the same i a ferrule "when lovely woman stoops to dishes up a tolerably fair thanksgiving story fnUv it's all up with her, as O.

The Arkansas Democrat, published at Little Rock, in its number of the 18th inst. thus notes the movement of a detachment of mules from Memphis to Camargo Mule for the Armu. We understand that a drove of between 3.j0 anil 4(H) fine mules, which have been purchased in lenncsscc for the U.SS.

riny in Mexico, are on the road from Memphis and are expected to cross the river at this tdacc to-tlav or to-morrow. 1 hey are in the charge of Capt. H. Toiihiiin, Quartermaster of the U. Army, and their destination Camargo, Mexico.

Among the gentlemen assisting we notice Col. John K. Taylor, formerly sheriff of this count who, we understand, is employed to go ahead ot the drove and make contract for for age, kc. J- roni his general acquaintance on the route, at lenst as fur as the Colorado, wc consider his selection for that, object one of the best that could have Im-cii made. His contracts in this vicinity have been made much lower than we rxitcrtcd.

'Tis said to have been the tiuickeit time wade between the two poiuts. The native Americans of Tiostnn nominated Mirian C. Betton as their candidate for Mayor. We copy from our contemporary. thi Commercial Bulletin, the following letter, which the editor inserts under the leading head of "Important," and vouches for it as being from a first rate source."

I give you the following, not as one of the on dil of Washington, but an important fact, which comes tp me in a shape and through a channel entitling it to full belief. The President has determined to recommend to Congress to create in our Army the rank of Lieutenant-General; and if Congress accedes to it, the further intention, or rather the fixed purpose of the President is to nominate Col. Benton to thia station, and he will accept. The object would be to Bend Lieutenant-General Benton, with the sword in one hand and the olive branch in the other, to conquer or negotiate a peace, as he best may; uniting thus the highest military and diplomatic honors. Whether Congress will sanction the recommendation is more than I can say; (or myself, I see no good reason for creating such an office in order to prosecute the Mexican war to a successful issue.

"If he is a drunkard," reuiarkcd the Recorder, and docs nothing for a lrSclihood, it becomes my duty to send him to the; workhouse."

Oh, John Waters! the Idird forgive you for sech a terrible thought! No, Mr.

Anclli's great paint ing, "the End of the World" ia now open for exhibition at Cook's Gallery in St. Charles street, nearly op posite the Verandah Hotel, and from the elaborate criticisms and almost unqualified praise that has been bestowed upon it at the North, and wherever it has been exhibited, we cannot doubt but that it will be visited here by all connoisseurs and lovers of the fine arts, as well as by all percons of good taste. We have not yet had a sufficient time to visit it and fonn an opinion of Uie merits of the work, aa it was exhibited for tlie first time last evening.
