The MexicE,aFrontiei.
It Afield that the' `Secretary of Wit.; Mr:
FLOYD, is preparing an order for the movement
of the United States troops now stationedin
Utah and at other points in the 'West, to the,
regions whore the recent difficulties at Browns
ville and Chihuahua occurred; The condition
of our Mexican frontier 18 peculiar. The his
tory of the-last twenty 'years has profoundly
improsasd the :people of 'the, outskirts of
Mexico with the• conviction that, at no die
tent day, they , 7ill be placed under the domi
nion of the United States. The area of their
country has gradually been diminishing, like
the dimensions of the famous iron dustmen in
which the Italian prisoner was confined; and
eventually crushed to death, until it every day
becomes more and more apparent that the Meal
canmatiOnalitY Is dooraed to,ultiinate destruc
tion. ' First; the immense area-of Texas was
separated from the mother country and finally
annexed to the United States. - Then came
the War 'of 1848, terminating with the sur
render of California and New Mexico - to our
country. Then, under Gen.- Przaox'S Ad
ministration, we
_purchased • the Mesilla
Valley, and now, upon the , outposts of
Mexico, bordering -upon our American pos
sessions, the : question •of American tropre
mazy is regarded 'as purely. a question of
time';: not only by the Amerlcan'citizena, but
by the enlightened portion 'Of.the Mexicans
themselves. ' It is true there la a, feeling of
hatred to the dominion of this country existing
in the' breasts of the disorderly; bigoted, and
ignorant portion of the Mexicancand among
the miscreants who fatten upon ilia rein of their
triage'', but the more intelligent, enlightened;
and .progresshro citizens, men of character,
substance or energy, look to the dominion of
this country 'as a relief from their present bur

establishment of the dominion of America oyez
the regions which form the present Mexi

American citizens has become much, more re-,
spectful than formerly, from a mere fear of
the future supremacy of our nation, and while,

anticipation of not a distant day of reckoning

The latest agricultural furore coast/4a in the
greet demand Which has' recently sprung up
for Italian beet, and the brilliant hopekenter
tained from their superior powers in the manu
facture of honey. We are'well satiefled„from
the careful investigation bestoWed upon this
subject by a friend who, has long"deteited great
attention to bee culture, that this Claim of 'su
periority for the Italiarebees is well founded ;,
and that, therefore, the present anxiety to ob
tain them is wise and: comineriLble. Among
edildelazurielpure honey is one of the most
acceptable; and If a large supply of it could
be Bemired; almost every table would occa
sionally be grtMed by' it.' The difficulty has
been that Our ordinary Ainericari bees do net
regularly' prodice a sufficient quantity 01
honey to make' it the interest of farmers to
take care of them. Bat, from the authentic
descriptions given of the superior qua
lities of .the Italian bees, there is good
reason to suppose that their general Intrednc-
Mon into the United States will add immensely
to the quantity of honey produced. •

Items of Revenue.
The federal taxation of .this country is al
most exclusively applied_ through Customs'
duties. In England, the :Ntitlin6al ineome is
'raised from a variety of sources;' of •which the
Customs' and Excise„, duties form only ono.
Taking American federal expenditure in com
parison with British general expenditure, and
the proportion will bo about one to five—that
is, each American citizen pays one dollar,
Where each British subject pays five. Divested
of such special pleading as the Edinburgh Re
view brings foulard, this is thelrue result.
For the rq.obtpart, the American duties upon
foreign -.imports 'are taxes upon luxuries.
There is scarcely an article, in its raw or mann
factured state, brought into this country from
abroad, which we could not produce here,
abundantly and of good quality, or entirely dis
pense with.' Even tea can be grown in certain
latitudes of this country, and produced of as
good qualityas if it were imported from China.
In this very Efate of Pennsylvania we can pro
duce almost every article necessary for food
and raiment, for art and science, for actual use.
In the return of the British Revenue, it is
appalling' to notice how much money is ex
pended—we might say wasted—upon articles
of luxury, many of which might advantageously
he dispensed with. In the year 1858, the Na-
Atonal Revenue of England was within a frac
tion of sixty-five and a half millions sterling,
and the total sum brought in at that time, by
Customs and Excise, amounted to £41,890,925.
Of this, the duties on wine made £1,761,788;
spirits, home-made and imported, brought
into the Exchequer over £12,200,000; malt
and hops paid duty to the amount of £5,800,-
6004 tobacco and snuff brought in another sum
,of £6,800,000. Rho total amount from wines
spirits, malt, hops, tobacco, and snuff makes
a fritafif £26,761,788, equal to about $128,-
000,090 of our money.
' This is not all. Be it remembered that
this,startling total, which amounts to almost
double the ,whole, federal revenue of..the
United States in 1858, represents only the
amount of defies paid upon strong drinks and
tobacco, products , not in the least necessary,
and does not represent the money expended
in the purchise . of the taxed articles. Say that
the average duties ire only a third of the price
at which each 'article is retailed, and the es.
timate is low, and we have an additional sum
of £51,528,476 for the articles themselves.
The whole British expenditure then, for In
toxicating liquors and tobacco, to bo drank
away and Rucked away, amounted, in 1858,
to , the pretty sum of £77,286,214, equal to
$386,426,070 of American currency, or about
flfteen,dollari a head for every man, woman,
and child in Great Britain and Ireland.
Staining Theta like these are almost sufficient
to induce people mentally to take the pledge,
and stand by the principles of Temperance.
All this expenditure of millions every year
is actually unnecessary. Strong drink and
tobacco could very advantageously be dis
pensed with—if people would only think so.
It is wholly out of our power to show, even by
an appioximation, what amount is expended
upon the same luxuries in this country, where
a vast quantity of spirits is manufactured,
without paying any duty whatever. Even the
Custom-house returns do not show the import
duties exactly— seeing thsit, as Mr. Queue
grimmer lately stated, out of qyery five bot
tles of champagne sold in the United States as
foreign, jour have not come from abroad. Re
latively speaking, however, we make no ex
travagant assertion when we say that the
amount disbursed in the United States, for
Wine, spirits, malt, hops, and tobacco, is much
larger than that thrown away for the same
purpose in England.
The Octoroon at the Arch.
There is so much merit in the domestic
drama nightly presented at the Arch-street
Theatre, and it is malted with so much and
such extraordinary ability, that we cannot for
bear this special allusion to it. There is, of
muse, some broad exaggeration, but, as a
whole, it is a piece of sterling excellence, and
it is calculated to produce no bad feeling.
The idea that such a drama could be regarded
as in any way disrespectful to the Southern
people Is ridiculous. Any Southerner will
see it with all the more pleasure as he
hears all those portions Of the,play which re
flect kindly upon his section applauded
by the audience; and no American • can
look upon , it without feeling •his better in
stincts awakened. We cannot specify either
the details of the plot or the amazing talents
of the members of the company who person.
ate the various characters. But Mrs. DREW,
Mr. GILEEHT, Mr. WHEATLEY, MISS TAYLOR,
and Mr. J. S. OLutxz, are each and all unex
ceptionable. To Mrs.. Dnzw and Mr.' J. S.
guars too much praise cannot be given.
They are rare and almost unequalled artists.
c 4 The Octoroon" is a wonder of its school of
dramatic productions. It should be seen by
oar people, and we are glad that it is being
witnessed by increasing crowds. This Is not
only a tribute to the author, Mr. Boomeauvr,
but to the enterprise of Messrs. WHEATLEY &
CLARKE' who have presented it In a style that
does justice to him and to themselves.
The Union Hotel.
, In our editorial reference, yesterday, to the
leading hotels of this city, we inadvertently
omitted to mention The Uston, in Arch-street,
near Third. This popular ,establishment is
now under the sopetintendence of Mr. Maw
dosnm, and, by the admirable manner in which
it is kept, and its eligible location for a large
class of merchants frequenting our city, it
deprvedly commands a very extensive pa
tronage.

Thu afternoon, at three o'clock, Little Ella
Barns, makes her first and only public appearance
in this city. She gives readings In Concert Hall,
assisted '(ia the dialogue parts) by Mrs. Burns.
The' programme 'naiades humorous, serious, and
dramatic readings, from various authors, such as
Sheridan, Longfellow, Eliza Cook, Sheridan
Knowles, .to.' She will give seven different
readings. Mr. S. Doyle will play betweeri
sash piece, and we beg to suggest that, as the
musts le introduced only to give the child necessary
rest between 'each reading, the musical plums
maybe brief. They are introduced not for display,
but to aid the interesting and gifted child, whose
Performances are the real and only attractions of
the afternoon.% 'Ella Burns was six years old in
December, and reeds better' than many eminent
actresses five and six times her age. There will
be a very erowded house, as public sympathy in
her behalf has been very generally awakened.

THE ITALIAN OPERA.--.OIIT atiLellB will be de
lighted to learn that the Ullman and Strakesch
Opera Troupe will appear at the Academy of Mu.
do on Monday, Man% 6th, and during every
evening of the week a different opera will be per
formed. The charming Miss Patti, who achieved
ouch &decided anneal during the late performances
of this troupe in Philadelphia, will appear in the
"Barber of Seville," "11 Puritan'," and other
operas. Madame Colson, Brignoll, Ferri, Amodio,
and other favorites of our citizens, will sing during
the week.
ARCH-STREET TIVEATRIE.—The new play, " The
Ootoroon," certainly the most effective of °Boned
oanWs numerous adaptations, is enjoying a run of
success hire even superior to that which it bad in
New York. The acting in this piece is capital,
but Mrs. Drew's personation of tho principal
character is one of her very best performances—
whiah is saying a great deal.

ad, by particular desire, and Miss Annie Milner
will appear as Arline in that popular opera. We
have no means of knowing whether the speculation
has been compensating in a pecuniary sense, but
the troupe has established a high character here,
which, with the weather moro favorable, will ono
day be very remunerating.
GERNANIA ORCHESTRA.—The public rehearsal
of the celebrated Germania Band will take place,
this afternoon, at Musical Fund Ball, at three
o'clock.
NArloset, Tunerns.—The elephant, which is
the heaviest member of Mr. Rice's theatrical com
pany, now has an excellent opportunity, of which
she makes the most, of showing what Pope oalled
her "half-reasoning" faculties. That great show
piece, " The Elephant of Siam," now performing
at this theatre, preserves the main incidents of the
drama, in which Mademoiselle D'Jeok originally
exhibited her intelligence at the Adelphi Theatre,
London, under the management of Mr. Yates. But
several new characters are introduced in the pre
sent version, and a great many novel and attrac
tive incidents. For example, Frank Drew, as
Mr. Giraffe, almost makes a new part.
and his singing of "The Little Fat Gray Man,"
(written by the late Jonathan Illewitt, who com
posed the pathetio Irish air called "Judy Calla
gban,") is certainly an agreeable novelty. Ile
plays the part with racy humor—sometimes, per
haps, to the very verge of becoming a little too
broad. As far as our recollection goes, too, the
Amazonian Guard, in the last act, is entirely new
in this piece. Of course, the Idea has been used
before, (es witness John Brougham's "Poca
hontas," (with its Tuscarora Female Light Guard,)
but It is new to this spectacular drama, and
nothing possibly can surpass the perfection of the
drill. The young ladies, richly and becomingly
attired, march and counter-ma:rob, turn and re"
turn, and perform any number of evolutions, un
dor the command of " Captain Oharlotto"—we
mean of Miss Annie Lonedalo, who sustains the
character of Zillah, and, In this especial none,
though she evidently does not hold a commission
in the light infantry, shows a great deal of acti
vity—also a remarkably handsome pair of pedal
extremities. Miss Raymond, Mrs. Raoket, Mr.
W. K. Page, and Mr. Whittaker, also deserve
favorable mention as having performed well.
The cost of getting up this piece must have
been enormous. The splendor of the miss
en scene, and the beauty, richness, and appro
priateness of the dresses and properties, can
not be surpassed. We saw this same piece brought
out at Broadway Theatre, New York, some years
ago, and it was meanly got up, in emiparison
with what is done for it here. Mr. Bernie is an
excellent stage-manager, when anything is to be
done "regardless of expense ;" as an actor he is no
where, nor, we suspect, does he care to be consid
ered use. The closing scene, with its flowers and
bowers, rosin and posies, fays and sylphs, rich
dresses and pretty girls, soft music and falling
waters, fire-works and rod lights, is at onoe gor
geous and beautiful. The "Elephant of %Stem"

A bill for the protection of game Is absolutely a de

TERRIBLE CATABTROPHE—IfeRTY-NINE bRIL
DRRN Drum:tsp.—From the Quincy (I 11.) Herald,
we learn that a moat terrible calamity, rivalling
that of the Pemberton Mlle, occurred on Them
day last, near the town of Ilardin, Illinois, on the
Illinois river, and about twentry-ilve miles above
Alton. Fifty school children, in attendance at a
university at that plane, went out upon the ice to

it. The very thing tits State court had to decide, under

Sup , . me Court was binding. This was begging the
whole question, and arguing in a emote. He re
garded the notion of the Unite States court in
sun a eon es extra-Judicial and of no authority. He
quoted legal authorities to sustain this view. The doe-
Gum of the /renter from Georgia went to the extent
that 'the judge of a district court might arrest, try,
and condemn, and no Appeal could be had. There wee
no despotism exeunt like thin, except in Algiers. He

interpreting iho Constitution as they understood it. It
was not a strict party question in Wisconsin The dim
trine of the:enact. from Georgia au to the power of
the Supreme Court would lead to absolutism and des
potisin, and lode. tendency to allow judicial authority
to usurp legialative powers tie quoted the remark of
Mr. Buchanan that judges always lean to the prerosa•
tive of power, and contrasted thedifference of the views
of Marshall As a member of the Constitutional Conten
tion and as Chief Justice of the Usited Hates. He also
nontrasted the views of 'fanny as a Secretary under
Jackson, curtaining him in lire position that he should
administer the Constitution as tin underktood it. and
Taney es Chief Justice leaning towards the oonaolida
hoe of Fedrral power. The Snow,. Court now asserted
the lernlttv of slavery in the Territories. and the next
plank added to the De mocratio platform would be the de
elan bon at Charleston on the infallibilitl of tho Supreme
Court. In the headlong zeal pursued by the other par
t, to force slavery unto the Territories they have eras
ed to be Republinans, and become advocates of the
most Fedoras dogma of the old Feder+) party, enamel
which J elle mon uttered hie loudest thundera of denun
