Thus we are told that Asia and Africa have long since passed from fetichism to analyticism, and finally to syntheticism --in consequence of which interesting transmogrification the Knights of the Golden Circle are invited to meet, on the 15th of September proximo, on the beautiful banks of the Rio Nueces. All difficulties are to vanish before the energetic analyses of the Americans; and in the opinion of Sir George Bickley, K. G. C., the entire Mexican army will fly like cravens from the very first round of pure syntheticisms to which he proposes to subject it; nor do we blame him if, as he admits, at such a prospect, his heart swells. We should think it would. We do not wonder, when thus he meditates the easy glories of charge, with Webster in one hand and Worcester in the other, that he also declares that unless his gallant knights do their duty, future ages may well reprobate our dereliction. Our own opinion is that future ages will

Thus we are told that Asia and Africaewards, tutors, bell-ringers, bed-makers and professors of Greek. Then, too, there is unhappy Mexico — the heart of Sir George is undergoing a horrible hemorrhage on her account; and the ears of Sihe Rio Nueces by the 15th of September--there to organize and await the action of our friends in Mexico. There will be a pleasant march — there will be just fighting enough to sustain the interest ofhiefs of his army, and martially and melodiously whistling Yankee Doodle. If this will not give Mexico rank among nations, we do not know what will. What the rank will be we leave the reader to deteawhile for that money; and our advice to Sir George, if he really desires to be the Alexander of Mexico, is to courageously make up his mind to defray all the expenses out of his private resources, wh

re, in this city and elsewhere, who propose to consecrate themselves to this knightly work, will see the necessity of instantly commencing their purgation, and of looking about to see which of their friends has twenty dollars in cash to spare. For cash, after all, is what Sir George will stand most in need of. To slaveholders he makes a most piteous appeal, calling upon them in the name of all that is good and great to draw their pocketbooks instantly, and to send to Col. N. J. Scott, of Auburn, Ala., the neat sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars. We are afraid that it is just possible that Col. Scott will be obliged to wait awhile for that money; and our advice to Sir George, if he really desires to be the Alexander of Mexico, is to courageously make up his mind to defray all the expenses out of his private resources, which are undoubtedly unlimited. We beg leave, most respectfully, to call the attention of our friend, Mr. Buchanan, to this Proclamation. It may divert

rank among nations --to rescue her from the brigand and barbarous brutes who now burn, pillage, murder and destroy her-- and a very handsome thing it is in him to offer to do it. Therefore, let Bickley's Braves all be on the south bank of the Rio Nueces by the 15th of September--there to organize and await the action of our friends in Mexico. There will be a pleasant march — there will be just fighting enough to sustain the interest of the expedition — and then for a revel in the Halls of Montezuma, with no end of liquor and ladies! We can see Sir George now, in our mind's eye, with a monopoly of two señoritas and a private bottle of aguardiente, surrounded by the chiefs of his army, and martially and melodiously whistling Yankee Doodle. If this will not give Mexico rank among nations, we do not know what will. What the rank will be we leave the reader to determine. But Sir George, like a prudent commander, directs his Golden Knights not to come to the south bank of the Rio Nue

Our own opinion is that future ages will by no means let them off so easily; and will be satisfied with nothing less than penalties only to be expressed in words of ten syllables. Sir George touches upon one exceedingly interesting point. All adventurers who leave the scenes of their nativity to grapple with fortune in foreign lands have a pet grievance.

We do not know any Doctor of Divinity who has exhibited such perfect familiarity with the intentions of the Almighty. He uses all the hard philosophical terms with as much ease as if he had been born under the Portico, swaddled in the Lyceum, educated in a German University, and subsequently adopted and nurtured in sesquipedality by Jeremy Bentham. He evidently means to invade Mexico according to all the laws of Logic and Mental Philosophy.

Our modern chevaliers are vastly more accomplished; and whatever prowess they may hereafter exhibit upon the gory field, it must be admitted that they make war by proclamation with irresistible, or perhaps we may say with irrefragable vigor. We do not remember in the history of Chivalry anything like An Open Letter to the Knights of the Golden Circle, which has just been printed in The Richmond Whig, by Sir George Bickley, President of the American Legion and K. G. C. Since Sir Waiter Raleigh, there has been no fillibuster so accomplisted as Knight George. In urging his men-at-arms to rush to the rendezvous, he strengthens his appeal by quoting from history in the most miscellaneous manner, and by using terms the most recondite and scientific. He speaks of the days of Nimrod, Ashur, Fohi, Mizraim, Athotes, Memnon, Solomon, Hiram, Uleg-Beg, Gengis Khan and Psammeticus, as if they were only of yesterday, or the day before.
