As this is the first paper wc issue in the new year, it may not be amiss in us to wish our readers, one and all, "a liappy new year'" The close of the old and opening of the new year, is a season which always awakens both sad and pleasiug recollections in every mind. Ivo matter how elevated and favored an individual may be, he has still momeuts and actions to look back to, which cause him pain and sorrow; and no matter how poor and miserable, on the other hand, may be the person, he has still many bright -pots, to recur to, on which his memory can rest, aud upon which his imagination may revel with pleasure. These emotions of joy and sorrow are more vividly called to our minds at this time than at any other. Wc are affected very much in the same way by the passing away of the old year, that wc are by the demiso of an old and intimate friend. Both events tell us o! the mutability of all things, and remind us of our own approachiug dissolution. We hhould not permit this los-on, so fraught with instruction to go by unim proved. It presents matter of the most wholesome and important reflection. It causes all persons to reflect more or less. If wo but do properly, wc shall ever re gard the New Year, as a happy period in our lives. The Hag of our Union For the New Year comes out with new type, a new dress, throughout, and a new and elegant heading. It will continue to give the same large amount of original cr:d cutertaininjr sketches stories and nnvtlltttes, aud fre?h spirit will beimpart ed to its editorial department, which will be as heretofore under the immediate con trol and care of Mr. Ballou. Several new and popular writers have been engaged for the year, and the Flag will be improved in all departments. The same care will be observed in excluding from its columns cot thing of an immoral or indelicate r.ature, and no pains or expense will be spared to make the Flag an elegant. lLOral and refined family journal.

Late from Mexico. We have our papers aud correspond ence from the city of Mexico, to 19th int., and from Vera Cruz to the 22d They contain very little to induce us to notice them at any length. Two engagements with the insurgents at Tcloloapam, and one at Chilchola, are reported to have resulted favorably to the government arms. The proportion be tween the number engaged and those kill ed is so extraordinary as to render the report almost absurd. In the last nam ed case upwards of 3000 irsurgeuts art reported to be engaged, and the killed are spoken of by threes and fours! iV O Picayune, Dec. 26. The foreign vote in the United States Las been for some time past attracting much attentiou. A Know Nothing paper in Washington, D.

The Star of the West left San Juan, on the 23d ult., fur New York, with 250 passengers and $700,000 in treasure. A Russian privateer had arrived at San Francisco, having escaped the pur suit of the allied fleet in the Pacific. The frigate Columbia, with Messrs. Wheeler and Fabeus on board, had ar rived at Grey town. Three British ves sels of war were in the port of Grcytown, and the U.

If you want Lu.-iness, says our sensible friend of the "Laucasterian, advertise If you are a hatter, make your name so familiar to the public that, when a man looks at his old hat,' he will think of you. if you are a tailor, maKe yourself so con picuous that a man will think of you ev cry time he brushes his coat. When a man looks at his old boots, this muddy weather, and sajs to himself, I must go and buy a pair ot warer-proofs,' have your name so familar to him that he will think of you and your place of business, as he docs of his boarding house, when he is hungry. It is the same way with eve rything & everybody who advertise exten sively, u heir names become familiar with the people, and are. associated in their minds so much with goods and articles of merchandise, that all who want what they sell are drawn, as by instinct, to their shops and stores. There is nothing like advertising. If you do not believe in it, try it, and be convinced. Cane for the Governor. A masive gold-beaded cane, made out of the joits taken from the ceiling of Independence Hall, has been presented to Hon. James Pollock, Governor elect. It is inscibed as follows: "Presented to Judge Pollock, Governor of Pennsylva nia, by a few of his Philadelphia iYieuds.'' U. S.

The formal opening of the S. & E. Rail Road, between Milton and Williams port, took place on Monday, of last week. The Directors of the Company and the councils of Philadelphia, met with a grand reception at Willi amsport, in the evening. Vj Judge Porter, at the late term of the courts at Honefdale, charged the Grand Jury that all combinations of persons banded together by vows, oaths, or obligations for the purpose whether accomphVped or not of depriving any citizen, whether naturalized or not, of any right secured to him by the Constitution, were within the cognizance of the law,! and should be presenteu by them to the court. He enjoined it as the duty of the jurors, if they knew of any snch combi nation, to bring those concerned in it to justice. Of course, the Judge refered to the Know-Nothings ; but the Jury seems to have been ignorant of any such com binations, and no presentments were made. This is a new feature of the Know-Noth ing question, thouh the legal view adopt ed by the distinguished Judge will hardly vegetate outside of the beuighted tenth legion. It is simply ridiculous to assume that any political movement, secret or otherwise, whose instrument is the ballot box, can be held injaw a3 violating the Constitution of the State. On the same principle the Whig3 of Franklin county would be indictable for proscribing Dem ocrats,as they did for ten consecutive years by conspiring against them in caucuses and conventions and voting against them at the elections; and Old Berks will have an awful bill to settle in the sessions, for sue has been conspiring against and pro scribing Whigs for a time whereof the memorv of man runneth not to the con trary. If the principle holds good in one case, it must hold good in all cases: and while we arc not a member of, or an a pologist for, any secret society of any kind, we can scarcely believe that any unbiased jurist could blunder so com pletely as to accept the law as laid down by Judge Porter.

Kossuth has delivered a great sneeeh in England on the war and the errors of the allies. His view, enforced with his peculiar powers of oratory, is that the only means of securing the West of Eu ropo against the encroachments of Rus sia is tho Reconstruction of Poland, fol- owed by the restoration of the other lato y subjugated and suppressed nationality f the Continent.

The Queen announced that she uad concluded a Treaty with America, set tling some important questions. The Queen has declared her determ ination to prosecute the war vigorously. She says that the Treaty with Austria will require reinforcements. Lord John Russell had delivered an important speech on the war question. He declared that the Treaty with Austria was not what it ought to have been, but that it was tho best that they could get. The overland mail brings the import ant intelligence that India asks tho aid of the British Government to protect it from Russia. The insurrection in China was still un checked. No further important move ments had taken place. The Empress of Russia is reported to be dying ! There is nothing of striking importan ce from the seat of war. The siege, however, continued to pro gress with much spirit. General Canrobert anticipates an ear ly assault on Sevastopol. It is rumored that five thousand Rus sians had retired to tho second line of the defence at Sebastopol. The trenches of the Allies were filled with water in consequence of the heavy rains which had prevailed. It is again re-iterated that Prussia had joined the Allies. A despatch from St. Petersburg states that if peace is not declared by the com mencement of the new year, the Czar will put an army of one million of men in the field.

Immense exertion aro making by the humane ,anibng us to relieve the necessi ties of the poor in the city, and never has there been more occasion for sympathy and charity. Those who fare sumptuous ly, who are abuudantly fed and clothed, who are comfortably housed, and who see their way through the winter without any possibility of want, owe it to them selves and their freedom from distress to lend a helping hand to the poor. What makes the distress more keen is the in clement season and the absence of occu pation. Work is begged forprayed for, and sought for every where. Any kind of work, for almost any kind of pay, is offered, and must continue to be offered while so many thousands of laborers are out of employ. Almost the fcrst chanty, therefore next to feeding tho hungry, is to give work to the poor. Employ as many mechanics as possible; use as much labor as vou can afford to pay for. Give kT work to needle women. Buy your gar meuts for houehold use and personal wear for a long time to come. At present pric es there is economv in tins. Ulotu is y cheap, labor is cheap, all kinds of wear ing apparel are cheap; furniture is cheap; all sorts of luxuries and fancy goods are cheapt A house can be furnished more cheaply now than for half a score ofycart past, and the working men in the Park arc upon the wrong scent when they abuse the men and women on Broadway who are spending their surplus cash for auj thing which is the productjof labor. There are two phases to this question: Ihe one is extravagance, which is never comenda- ble, and the other is the practical bear ing of extravagance upon labor. If 8100, 000 is spent upon a dwelling, the great bulk of it goes to pay for labor the la bor of masons, carpenters, painters, stone cutters, founders, plumbers, artists, dig gers in the earth. There is stone to be quarried out, sand to be drawn, lime to be made, and the bulk of this is expend ed upon labor. The capitalists are rich men of the city, therefore, could not do the poor a greater charity than by giving employment to the poor; and the- must do this to some extent or contribute by increased taxes or otherwise to their sup port In the meau time, however, the wants of the community aie most pressing. -ur cioors are tnrongeu aany witn beg- gars- 11 requires servant to answci tne conftaDt KnocKing at cioors ana nng- ,ng at bells of the door, who beg for bread ntm a covering. jNeiiner our dwellings our places of business arc free from those intrusions, uur eyes ana ears are n0Ul jy Pen t0 appeals ior cuanty, ana l.t rt . . . t . i tnc enect must be citiier to iiaraen or soft2n our heart?.
