He is rather below than above the common

rise to power and Influence in every country,
.hut they rise by the tnrce of their talents, and
lairs rapidly by the weight of their vice.
Whenever they show, their unworthineae and
their, rfebteed natures, thry are abandoned by
the people, driven from power and place, and
bnniehed forever from favor; Notoriously cor
rupt and depraved mn cannot hold power even
in the enlightened Monarchies, much Ice in the
free Republic of the prearnt age. But it is not
so in Mexico. There honesty, patriotism snd
merit, ire driven to the den and forest where
Victoria lurked and llidalpo worshipped, whilst
men of notoriously treacherous character, weak
minda and corrupt natures are elevated to pow.
er, and command the confidence and suffrage
of the people. Thereare many men in Mexico
nf high and pure character, but who ever hears
ol their exercising any influence on the govern
ment of the country Who hers now. evert
in the present emergency, when it might be
supposed that all the talent and virtue in the
country would be enlisted to support the totter
ing pillar of their Republic, of the wise, pru
dent, and inflexibly honeet Bitstamente of the
experienced, intelligent, firm and patriotic Pe
rt raxa of the chivalric, high-enuled and gifted
Almonte of the mild and virtuous Herrera
and nf the brave relic of the Revolutionary Bra
voa! The first three have taken no part in the
present dfliculties because their places were
supplied by the corrupt satellites of Paredesand
Santa Anna ; the last two have been pressed
into service in the !aat extremity of the nation.
Ilrrrera was selected by Santa Anna as one of
the Commissioners to conclude and determine
upon the proposal of Mr. Trist, with a view,
no doubt, nf ahnlTl'eg npon Herrera' shoulders
the responsibility of any pear e that might be
concluded. Bravo was a anointed in defend the
last fortification which remained in the barn's nf
the Mexicans before their capital waa entered
by our troops ; and worthily did he sustain at
Chapultepee the high name and reputation a-
chieved by himself and his two gallant brother
in the Mex'can war of Independence. ' There
waa not a soldier of otir nrave army' who waa
present when the while haired veteran surren
dered his sword to our General, and wept like a
child over the miafortune of hia eountryv who
did not feel his heart thmb with kit.dly sympa
thy and sorrow, and his eye moisten with the
involuntary fesr. ' ' ' ' '
But these are not the men. of power and in
finance in Mexico. The corrupt administration
nf Santa Anna, haa drawn to the surface all the
vile charactera in the country. , Sut-h men as
Valencia, Ampudia, Tornel, Gurrztix,, Salsa,
Gary, Alvarrg and others men, tool and de
pendent of Santa Anna, are the ruling spirits
of Mexico. These are the men who have kept
live the spirit of Revolution and insubordina
tion in the country. They have brought Mexi
co to her present condition, nd if they are per
mitted to continue in power they will reduce
her still lower. The first to involve their conn
try le wr, they are always the foremost to fly
from the peril they have provoked. Always
opposed to peace, and loud toned advocates of
war, they can never be brought to manifest their
principles and feelings by acts rather than
words. "
We were led into these reflections by reading
of the etupendou efforts of Gen. Perdtgon Ga
rs to organise a militia force of 40.000 men, to
operate againat our army. We could scarcely
believe it possible that so arrant a coward aa
this fellow Garay, would be gravely listened to
in any matter relating to defensive and warlike
operation. In no other country but Mexico
could he ever command an audience on any mi
litary question., ,This Generl.(for like all

Gen. Sroif waa strongly advieed by Gen. Worth
to release Garay, for the reason that, in any fit

carry off a good many others with him. The
suggestion was adopted by Gen. Srott, and Ga

the more suitable and lees dangerous arena of a
Mexican Congress. He had no sooner arrived
at Querela ro, than finding himself beyond the
reach of the northern barbarians, he grew val

sturdy a resistance, and caused him so heavy a

age and gallantry, waa treatud with marked at

lis) ian by birth,- and an eminent chemist, has
lisenvered a mode or hardening the human

which he is about to exhibit in London! If ia
specimens hive excited great astonishment.
One waa the head of a lady, with her hair part

and colors,' although the surface from which it
grew resembled stone somewhat like a wex
model also a child's head, plump and aa in
life, and a tongue petrified aa if it never uttered
a aonnd. . The petrifying process is said to be
simple snd cheap. A boqnet of choice flower
the juices first extracted by a pneumatic pro-
cePs preserved their natural colors, but were
as hard snd rigid if some cunning workmen
had carved them from Persian marble for nut
only the Icavea and petala were rendered atone-
like, but the minute hair-formed stems were
rendered eoraline. ITjreAenge.
Thia discovery was made several yeara ago
in Italy by a physician named Sepatn, He in
vented a method by which he could convert the
entire body into stone in the space of about two
weeks. The material was susceptible of a very
high polish, and many article nf stone furni
ture, such as centre-tables, &.C., were made from
varinua parte of the body put together in the
form of mosaic work. A it ha been the case
with many other pioneers of acience, o it was

to amend it by making a verbal disclosure of hia
process. But it was too late. The feeblenes
of approaching dissolution prevented him, and
he died in the effort to reveal his secret, another
matyr to the dilatory remuneration of govern-
went. .:: i i t t i ' ?
He waa hardly cold in hia coffin before tbreo
different propositions for purchaaing the secret
were received, uither one of which, would have
made him independent of all the contingencies
of life. The re-discovery of thi process wo
frequently attempted, and it via elated in on
of the medical journals of the year 1643 that a no.
