Trade of the Itio . Grande.
The intelligent Deputy of Matatrioras,xnd Pres
ident of the State Congressof Tamaulipas; Senor
Lo. Mumble, has submitted a proposition td
that body, to petition the General Government of
.Ittexiccieto enter into negotiations with the Amer
inan Government, in relation to the improvement
of the navigation of the Rio Grande. ,Mr. John
T; Hughes, a resident of the Upper Rio Grande,
describes the fruitful valley of El-Paso, in' the
most glowing colors.. "This settlement," he says,
"extends from the falls of the Rio Grand on the
north to the Presidio on the south, a distance of
22 miles, and is one continuous orchard and vine
yard, embracing in its ample area and industri
ous population of at least 8,000. It is situated
nearyl .- Indway b - etween - Santa - Feand Chihuahua, -
• Its breadth is about ten miles.. Its chief produc
tions, at present, are fruits and wines, the latter
amounting to 200,000. gallons annually. From
this cultivated point on the river,Mr. Hughes re
commonds that a canal should be constructed to
the head waters of navigation, whiCh he says can
be done with great facility and ara moderate ex
pence. The fertile valleys of the Puerco and
tribituary streams below, are also said to be
highly productive, and to offer great attractions
to an industrious and enterprising people. The
valley of the Lower Rio Grande is described as
being adopted to the culture of the sugar cane
and cotton, and oranges, figs, olives and other
tropical fruits.
Cheese Factories in Ohio
C. C. Wick, Esq., has begun making cheese on
a large scale at Ashtabula, Ohio. He commands,
the product of 1,100 cows, c,wned in that and ad
jacent townships, and employs men and teams
who every morning take prescribed routes vary
ing from five to ten miles each, and gather the
ocurds," which are neatly sacked by the dairiman
and the brciught to the factory, where the process
of "cheese making" is completed. This furnish
es employ for a large number of men and wo
men, and by the aid of recent improvements and
machinery much of the labor requisite is render
ed light, more convenient and simple than the Us
ual mode. He had a few days since about 3,000
cheese on hand, made within about thirty days,
and for beauty and fine flavor they are notrio be
excelled. The weight of "curds" daily received
amount in the aggreate to some 3,500 lbs., and
the number of cheese made daily about 75, va
rying, somewhat as regards size. They are put
up in sacks and intended fur the English, West
India and California trades, and vary from 15 to
35 pounds—the former we believe are intended
exclusively for the California market. There
are other similar cheese factories, where the far
mers can dispose of their "curds" to advantage.
We should think it an excellent arrangement.
Gen• Taylor and Slavery
The Washington Union puts the inquiry direct
to the Republic—go the event of the passage of
a law containing the Wilmot Proviso, or any
similar provision, will Gen. Taylor veto it, or
will he approve itl"
This query is unnecessary, if the Union has
marked Gen. Taylor's position. If Congress
should pass the Wilmot Proviso, or any similar
provision, Gen. Taylor will sign it. If not, he
violates the pledge given to the people. And
again, if Congress should pass a law allowing
slavery in New Mexico and California, he will
sign that! He is bound not to oppose the wish
es of the people, as expressed through their rep=,
resentatives. Neither the North nor the South'
can expect legislation from • the President; but
either' and both have a right to expect that he
will not oppose his veto to the action of Congress,
on a question which the action of the govern
ment, since its establishment, has shown to be
constitutional.
New Gold Washer.—We were shown, says the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, the model of a
new machine called the •Water Saving Gold
Washer," invented by Mr. Michael English, of
Lagro, Indiana, who is in this city superintend
ing the construction of a quantity of machines at
the establishment of Mr. Tyson in Vine Street.
Mr. English's machine serms to be more-simple
and sensible than any that we have seen.' It will
weigh less titan 20 pounds, but is at the same
time made of sue% durable materials that it can
not readily get out of order. It is worthy the no
tice a persons going to the gold region.

editors have been speculating, of making the

into it the waters of Lake Erie, has been prema-

Plaindealer, who says that that !.the Ohio river
is about two hundred and sixty-five feet above
the level of Lake Erie," and proves it by calcu
lation.

'Death of Ex-Preodent J. K. Polk.
The eleventh President of the United
States is no more. Mr. Polk died on Fri
day night, the 15th of June, near Nashville,
of a chronic diarrhoea, after a very short ill
riess.--President Harrison closed his career
within a month of, the day of his entrance
upon the duties of His office ; President Polk,
in about three months after his term had ex
pired. Of eleven 0-Presidents, Messrs.
Van Buren and TAii"alone remain among
us. Mr. PolleroU the youngest man ever
inaugurated 4President ; only 49 years and
4 months old when he took office. His con
nexions'Were members of the old Revolu
tiontiry party who had aided and favored in
dependence before & during the War of 1776.
James - Knor - Polls - was - born - in - M ecklen=
burgh County, North Carolina, November 2,
1795, and at the time of his disease was 53
years and 7 months old. His father is, we
think, still alive—he was a fanner, and re
moved to Tennessee in 1806, when Jarries .
K. Polk was in his eleventh year. James
K. is the oldest of ten children—acquired
the rudiments of an English and classical ed
ucation near his home, and after years of
suffering from a very painful complaint, was
relieved by a surgical operation. He gain
ed high honors at the University of North
Carolina—tens assiduous, persevering, and
cre o gular in his attendance—a good mathe
matical and clasaical scholar. In 1819, he
began, to study the law with the celebrated
Felix Grandy of Nashville, was admitted as
a membe'r-nf- the bar of Tennessee in 1820,
and was wellhemployed in his line. He serv
ed as Clerk to the Tennessee Legislature,
was next a member for v paury, his place of
residence, and in 182o,itx his 30th year,
elected to Congress. If he was opposed to
a National Bank, he hesitated to express
that opinion for the first two years he sat in
Congress, but after Mr. Van Buren went to
Washington as Secretary,.to wit, in August
,1830, Mr. Polk began to give the Ten
nesseeians some hints about "the monster."
Andrew Jackson stated in 1844, that he
had known James K. Polk friim his boy
hood, and that "a citizen more exemplary
in his moral deportment, more punctual and
exact in business, more energetic and manly
in his expression of his opinions, and more
patriotic does not live."
Upward of twenty-four years since he
married the daughter of Joel Childers, Esq.,
'a merchant of Rutherford county, Tennes
see. Mr. Polk had no children—was un
ostentatious, quiet, domestic and religious—
not fond of show, dancing, dissipation and
late hours.—Mr. Polk was a member of the
Presbyterian Church. It is greatly to his
credit that he had the reputation of being no
duelist, no gambler, but a steady opponent
to speculation. He was fourteen years in
Congress, and two orApree of these years
Speaker, having been' hosen in December,
1835, and in September, 1837. No more
thorough going party man could be found
than Polk—he was very industrious, and
while on the floor of Congress was reported
never to have missed a vote. As he receiv
ed a vote of thanks at the close of the session
of 1837, for his impartiality as Speaker, it
may be inferred that he had great control
over his temper. He was a ready debater;
delivered long and animated speeches, and
was one of the few hard-working legislators
in his day. In his intercourse with the pub
lic he was affable and courteous : his voice
was strong but intilical ; he was clear head
ed, and capable of grasping, comprehending
and explaining, complicated matters of pub
lic interest; a polite and attentive listener,;
and ao regular and devout in early life that
Governor Branch affirms that during the
four years that ho was at college he [Mr.
Polk) never once:missed-prayers._
His personal character wasillk.....proacha
ble. "Of Mr. Polk, as a private gentleman,
and as known to us in his social and domes
tic relations," said the editors of the Nation
al Intelligencer, "we have no,
,disposition to
speak any otherwise than wit .en tire respect.'
During his Presidentiayterm,,Mr. Polk
had the fortune to connect —_ yl
and permanently, with so e most im
portant events of the age. • His death at this
time affects no public interest, and Makes no
organization or policy of any
Is departure from a. scene
.y he has played so active a
,e a universal sensation of soli
.t. Take in connexion with
—or and the history of the times,
his death adds another to the long catalogue
of illusteations of the oft-quoted but striking
sentiment of Burke,--,"What shadows
. we
are, and what shadows we pursue."
