Who compose the majority of those, who are now under arms in a foreign land, panting for com- bat with the perfidious foe? Who fill your ranks of Volunteers at home? Are there none of those much abused Whigs inthe number? And _ will you tell these glorious patriots, the tale that you told us yesterday—that they oppose the War— ‘that they give azd and comfort to the en- my ? We are told, Sir, by one Senator, (Mr. Thompson,) that if he thought as we did of the War, that Ae could never be in- 'duced to fight its battles. Perhaps he would not. But little knows that Sen- ‘ator of true Whig patriotism. If in his opinion, the War was improperly be- ‘gun, or unjustly continued, he could not give it hissupport! Sir, Whigs repudiate such doctrine as unworthy of them, and unpatriotic. This War, however begun, has now the “Sanction of Congress,” the only power that has the Constitutional ‘right to decide this question, and they ask no more. It now commands their sup- port. It may do for the Democratic Sen- ator from Wake, to act upon his individ- ual opinion, against the Constitutional au- thorities of the land. «If he should deem a War unconstitutional, as he understands it, he could not give it his aid!

THE SLOW, BUT SURE STEPS TO A | MONARCHY. | Mankind seems naturally to run aftera monarchy, and hence monarchy has be- /come the prevailing government among mankind.

So | nan st : when our government has a dispute with | tor justice, as injury, and had examined other | 2 other government, it is now settled as | a democratic principle, that an Executive can go to war about it, without consult- | ing Congress, even though Congress be in /session!

Sin: Permit me most respectfully to.call your atten- |” tion to the views submitted in my last annual report in regard to imposing duties on tea and coffee. These duties were suggested in view of the necessity of obtaining the loan therein proposed, and this Depart- ment feels bound to communicate the opinion entertaia- ed by it, that, in the absence of these duties, it will pro- bably be wholly impracticable to negotiate the loan on such terms as would be permitted by Congress. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, ad R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. Hon. James J. McKay, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. This frank (and we must say) honest Letter ly confirms, as the convictions of the Secretary, what we have already had occasion.to express as our own, viz: that unless additional taxes are laid upon articles which will immediately and certainly produce additional revenue, it will probably be “ wholly impracticable ” to nego- tiate a further loan of money for the Govern- ment upon any reasonable terms. The Sec- he will yet be obliged to say to Congress pub- licly, or privately to the He that even with the aid of the proposed new taxes, he can obtain no loan upon any terms until the Sub- treasury be repealed, or in some way or other rendered inoperative. ‘This is what Congress must come to, unless they desire tosee the War with Mexico brought to an end by the absolute failure of ability to carry it on. The organ of the Administration accompa- nies this Letter with urgent exhortations to Con- It trusts “that the recommenda- tion, made by the President in his Annual Mes- sage, and repeated by the Secretary of the | Treasury in his Annual Report, four weeks | ago, received at an earlier day the sanction, in | some form or other, of the Representatives of | the Democracy in both Houses of Congress? | ‘In each House they greatly outnumber the | Whigs; and they are responsible tothe coun- | try for getting us honorably out this War, into- which the Administration of their choice has , plunged us, and about the prosecution of which | it seems there is, among that party, “but one | It is an odd sort of manifestation of | that feeling, that, with the knowledge that the War cannot be further prosecuted without the provision of further means for carrying it on, an entire month of the session has been suffer- ed to pass away without the first step having been taken towards this object in the House of Representatives, to which House belongs ex- clusively the right of originating bills for rais- ing a revenue. Nay, not only has no step for | that purpose been taken by the House of Rep.- , resentatives, with its overpowering Democratic | bias, but its Committee of Ways and Means consisting of three Whig members and six other members selected for their supposed political de- votion to the Administration, has to this day re- fused or neglected to report any bill conformable ‘tothe joint recommendation of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury at the opening | of the session; this refusal or neglect continu- | ing also for more than a week after receiving the information from the Secretary that the | laying of these taxes on Tea and Coffee are in- dispensable to the prosecution of the War. Upon these facts one of three things is clear- | ly predicable: either that the government pa- per is mistaken about the unanimity of opinion among the Democracy in all parts of the coun- try upon the subject of the War; that the Sec. retary of the Treasury himselt is entirely in er- ror in supposing additional revenue to be indis- pensably necessary to carry on the Govern. ment; that there is in the Committce of Ways and Means, if not in the majority of the House of Representatives, a manifest indisposition to sustain the Administration in the present emer- | HK . ‘ occupation,” and whose parents and friends | ' reside, chiefly, in this place, will no doubt be. gency.

He did not design to take any past in. the controversy which had been going = between membrs of different political par. Ie Geming then to the important subject, he said atthe army in Mexico needed more men and Smoney,and they needed both now, imme- tely—at once. ‘The army was deficient in hecessary numerical force.

He had known ten cents a pound to be pai for bread, twenty cents fur poor sugar, and filty cents a pound for cheese. {[t was a long time, too, before the Volunteers had received their pay,—six months before the Illinois Volunteers received theirs, He cared not whether this war cost $20,000,000 or $100,000,000. Let the members of this House then be implored to do something and to act promptly. He did not address his remarks to one party IIe knew the Whigs too | well to address them upon a question of patriot- ism. ‘Theirs had been tried and proved. But | whether Whigs or Democrats, Bank men or no | Bank men, Dietribution men or anti-Sub-Trea- sury men, 49 men or 54—(here there was a pause and loud laughter.) Mr. Baker continued— | More than another. “Oh breath not its name, Let it sleep in its shame.” (Renewed laughter.) Returning to the party aspect of the question, Mr. Baker went on to show that the Whigs had fought as gallantly and with as great a numeri- cal force as the Democrats. ‘There were three | Whig Senators who had sent their suns to fight, vand if there was any political contest in the army it was as to who should serve the country best. Mr. Baker said that at the proper time he should ask leave of himself or by others to offer a resolution to supply the volunteers with cloth. ing and deduct the amount from their pay.— Such a resolution had been drawn up at his re- quest by the Secretary of War, and it was read by Mr. Baker, who further said, that he belies. ed that peace would be made, could easily be made, and within four months from this time, if the country desired it, and within the city of Mexico itself. The resolutions pending were then agreed fo, proposing a reference of the President’s | Message to the Standing Committees. The Committee now rose and reported, and | the report was concurred in. CLOTHING OF VOLUNTEERS. Mr. Baker now offered a Joint Resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to deliever | clothing to the officers of the army. It was | passed by acclamation through ‘all the stages of action, and provides that the volunteers receive clothing instead of pay, as do the soldiers of the regular army, Mr. Winthrop presented a memorial from Physicians of Boston, asking Congress to ex amine a plan of their own, or one of their num. ber, by which surgical operations can be per. formed free of pain. It was referred to a Se- ‘lect Committee of five members, and then the House adjourned. From the Patent Office Report for the year 18-44. | ARTICHOKES. We have formerly mentioned artichokes as a vegetable, which would be very pro- fitable to many of the agriculturists of our country. This product has long been known and most highly prized in Germa- ny; and the writings of some of the first practical agriculturists there, (as Thaer, Schwertz, Burger, and others.) abound in _ Strong commendations of their excellence as a fodder for stock, and especially milch | COWS. It would appear from some notices which have met our view in the agricul. | tural journals, that artichokes are be- , 8inning to be somewhat more cultivated by our farmers. The following statement Wwe derive from one of these valuable pe- riodicals, the Cultivator. The facts men- tioned deserve consideration. “ Several trials Which w made with this root, indica of the most valuable for st | be cultivated. e have known te thatit is one a gen- aIntance planted a Sround with them.— The produce was at els per acre. ere principally har- Were turned in, and as their appetite | prompted. They gained well, with no other food, while the artichokes lasted,— | A great advantage of this root is, that it | Will lie in the ground Without injury all winter. “ Mr. Thomas Noble, of ‘us a brief account of a _ chokes, made by him the | April, 1843, he plan this vegetable. Massillon, gave trial with arti- past season, [ny ted two acres with The ground was of me- dium lity. The artichokes were plant. ed in Fows 23 to 3 feet xpart—using a lit- tle more seed than is commonly used in Planting potatoes. As soon as the frost Was out of the ground last spring, (1844,) the digging of them was begun, and con: | required. ._The duce of the two acres hi 1,500 belie They-were.fed principally some were siten ta, 4 a that they ; artichokes wére again given, and soon did as well as ever. oS “ Mr. Noble also used the tops for fod- der. He cut thém in October, just before frost came, dried and housed them. ‘They were fed to the stock in winter, and were evidently preferred to corn fodder. “Mr. N. is so well pleased with arti- chokes, that he is raising them this year cultivation; it being only necessary to keep the ground clear of weeds till the artichokes get a good start. Alabama, lately informed us that he is this year growing 30 acres of artichokes. He considers them the most profitable ve- getable he can raise. In that climate, they ean be dug any time in the winter. “There are several varieties of arti- chokes, but that called the Jerusalem ar- tichoke (helianthus tuberosus) is consider- ed best. From the fibres of the tops or stems, a cordage is sometimes manufac- tured in some parts of Europe.” From the Valley Star. THE LADIES. Mr Eprror :—In looking over an old pa- per a few days ago, | was very much a- mused at reading the following extract from a sermon of the celebrated Dow, Jr, addressed ,, to the young ladies of his flock.” It is rich in itself—true to the letter—and worthy the attention of the romantic lov- ers of modern times. I send the extract to you to publish if you think it worthy in your paper, believing that it will be read with amusement by your readers, and ho- ping also, that it may exert a salutary in- fluence upon those who have fallen into the errors so forcibly pointed out in it. The extract runs as follows: “ The buxum, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, full breasted, bouncing lass—who can darn a stocking, mend trowsers, make her own frocks, command a regiment of pots and kettles, feed the pigs, chop wood, milk cows, wrestle with the boys, and never fall under, and a lady withal in company, is just the sort of a girl for me, and for any worthy man to marry—but you, ye pining, moping, lolling, screwed up, wasp- on a large scale.

He was one mo ing crawling about his grounds, and a cidentally went into a shed where a mi had been bottling some wine ;-and a moment of his master’s entrance had mek ted some rosin to seal the corks with. It could not be otherwise than that those within the room should inhale the smoke arising from the rosin. To the surprise of the afflicted one, his respiration became free and unobstructed, and it instantly occurred to him that the relief he experi- enced was produced by his having inhaled the rosinous smoke. He remained better during the day, and without consulting his doctor repeated the experiment in hissleep- ing room. That night he slept soundly— a blessing he had not known for years. Twice a day, for a week. did he con- tinue his experiment, and with increased success. He then mentioned the affair to his medical adviser, wha was equally sur- prised with himself at the improvement of the patient’s health. and advised him to continue the inhalations night and morn- ing. In the space of three months his cough left him, and his appetite returned. In six months his health was so improved that he contemplated returning to his native country, he delayed, however, doing so until a year hadexpired.

Long’s Company of Volan- teers, chiefly from the counties of Rowan and Davidson, in marching to Charlotte in the most inclement Weath- er, with but hasty preparation and destitute of the usual ' camp equipments, necessary to the soldiers comfort, have given a spirited exhibition of true patriotism and geni- ine courage. . Resolved, That while all the Volunteers in Captain | Long’s Company have our very best wishes, and. are eminently entitled to our admiration, we feel that our gratitude is especially due to that large portion of the company belonging to Davidson, and who are 80 nobly sustaining the honor of our colntry. Resolved, That as Capt. Long's head quarters were at Salisbury, the volunteers from Davidson necessarily left their homes singly and in haste from different parts of our county, so that we had not the opportunity of | | taking ther by the hand and extending to them the hos- pitalities our hearts would have prompted.

January 11, 1847. ATTICUS. Coxcorn, N. C., January 11, 1847. Messrs. Epirors:—In your paper of the 8th of this this month, I see a very high compliment paid to the Volunteer Company Just formed in our county for the Mexican War, as well as a very flattering notice of my- selfand J. W. Scott, Hsq. You are aware that J. W.

As to myself, I ordered out the Regiment agreeable to the requisition of the Go- vernor, but did not volunteer unti! the one half of the company was made up; therefore I claim nothing for my services. I think it is due to those who took so ac- tive a part in forming the company, to place their names properly before the public. Among those most active, | was A. B. Pharr, H. A. Area. Robt. E.

Besides the monthly pay, as above stated, one ration per day is allowed every soldier, which is amply sufficient for his subsistence ; also a large supply of comfortable and genteel clothing. Good quarters and fuel are at all times furnished ; and every attention will be paid to making those men who may enlist, and are determined to serve their country in good faith, comfortable and con- tented with their situation. The best medical attend- ance is always provided for the sick soldier ; and no de- duction of pay is made during the period he is unable to perform his duty. Should the soldier be disabled in the line of his duty, the laws provide a pension for him. By the above it is seen that the pay and allowances | are respectable, and that, with prudence and economy, the monthly pay of the soldier may be laid up—as every | thing requisite for his comfort and convenience is furnish- | ed by the Government, including his sugar and coffee. | The prudent soldier, therefore, may readily save from | $420 to $1020 during his enlistment of Five years; | | and at the expiration of the term he can, if he chooses, | the company.

The following scene was described to me by an officer commanding a regiment in the 2nd Division at the battles of Mon- terey. I give it almost in his own lan- guage, as he spoke of it the day after it occurred, (24th September.) He has de- clared often since, that it “ made him feel sentimental every time he thought of it,” and J am sure I never thought of accusing | him of weakness, for it gave me the blues | to hear him tell the story: * And this said he, in speaking of home, | ‘reminds me of an affecting scene of last night.

His sad history had conveyed a moral. His was, too, the best advice one sailor ever gave another. Let it not be sneered at because as | did—don’t you touch ram—don’t you trust that landlord who offers it to you— | mor eed haps, have been dreamed of; ‘and, as is usual, getting a very good oyster, and in almost ‘every instance leaving the two shells to be digested between plaintiff and defendant. One of the members of the Suffolk bar once had the frankness to tell the writer, whom he ,was prosecuting for an alleged cruel assault and battery, that he had no doubt of his innocence, but that the sailor, having come off from a long voyage, had plenty of money, and as long as that lasted, he was determined to car- ry onthe suit. Rather than be at numer- ous law expenses, this gentleman receiv- ed a clever sum to settle, for which he gave his own receipt as -attorney for the sailor, who might have received it, or might not; but the probability seemed that he had been the loser rather than the gainer, as he went to sea again in a few days, the landlord taking his advance wa- | ges for money which he owed!

And I trust the honest gentle- men of Court-street will have no more objection to its exposure of rogue—is pi- ous man of a hypocrite—or temperance society the downfall of rum. J am writ- ing just now, asI humbly hope, for the benefit of sailors. I wish to point out all their enemies to them, and beg them, as they value their: happiness, reputation. health, and property, to remember old Bill’s advice, the whole of it, from clue to earing. We at length arrived at our port of des- tination. The good resolutions which bill had formed were not abandoned. thrown in his way, and won the esteem and respect of his officers and shipmates, as the consistent conduct of a good sea- man invariably will. Unquestionably there arc sometimes brutes who creep in- to the stations of authority and trust on board of American vessels—but they are never allowed to continue long, and I cannot but believe that their cruelty is almost always greatly exaggerated, for their own self-interest would prevent its execution. I can truly say, that during many years on board of many different vessels, I have seldom seen a good sailor, who knew and did his duty, maltreated and abused; nor from creditable and im- partial testimony, do we often hear of such instances. These alledged abuses heaped upon sailors may generally be sift- ed down to pretty severe treatment of those who cannot or will not perform their duty as able seamen ; and in either case, such fellows should expect it.

We have heretofore shown, by refer- ence to the prices current, at different pe- riods, that one of the main results promis- ed by the friends of the Tariff of 1846— to wit, low prices for articles imported— bas not been attained; but that, on the contrary, the cost of the articles upon which duties have been reduced has been enhanced to the consumer, in despite of that reduction. If it does not therefore follow that low duties are uniformly suc- articles, we think no one can deny that the falsity of the fundamental maxim of Secretary Walker, that “the duty must | be added to the price, and paid by the consumer, the duty constituting as much a part of the price as of the production,” is conclusively demonstrated. In addition to the several articles here- tofore referred to, the price of which has been enhanced to the consumer, since the reduction of duties, the effect of which he | was assured would be a relief from an | oppressive tax, in the shape of a bounty | tu the manufacturer, the N. Y. Express calls public attention to another not less | striking exemplification of the fallacy of | the foregoing treasury maxim—a maxim, | by which, more than by all other argu- ments combined, the great body of the Southern people have been induced to re- gard the protective system as one of sec- tional inequality, and as designed to ben- | efit particular classes, at their expense, | and have been consequently easily per- suaded to assent to its overthrow, in des- pite of the fact that its origin is coeval with that of the Constitution itself, and of the lucid proofs that it constitutes one of | the main pillars of the national strength | and prosperity. | Cotton Bagging is one of the articles, | the prices of which the people of the cot- ton growing States, who are more espe- cially interested in that fabric, were told | ~would be reduced by the reduction of the | political capital for their par ing all readiness to support il not apply to this article the epmee™ it deserves.

Such men as Archer, Crittenden, Clayton, and their associates, are too elevated to be reached by such missiles, hurled even by a stronger arm than that of the official organ. The Union, too, still continues to apply to the Whigs the epithet of “ Federalists,” as if it had no regard for the feelings of the many distinguished gentlemen of that party who are now shining ornaments in the Locofoco ranks, and who stand high in the affection and confidence of Mr. Polk. To say nothing of that Anti-War Federalist Mr. Bachanan,orof that “black cockade” federalist, Lewis Cass, or of that Hartford Convention federalist, Henry Hubbard, the Whigs may well congratu- late themselves that they have notin their ranks one who glories still in the avowal that “he would have been A TORY had he lived in the days of the Revolution,” and who, with such an avowal upon his lips, deserves to be called a tory now— even though he be regarded as a pillar in the Locofoco temple, and perhaps a fair specimen of its character.

Mr. Calhoun, indeed, some years ago, in one of his speeches in opposition to the protective policy, descending from abstract argument to specific illustrations of its burdensome effects, made a state- ment of the immense saving to the cotton planters—some two or three millions of dollars annually— which would be effect- ed by the reduction of the duty upon this | article. Arguing upon the specious falla- cy that “the duty constitutes as mucha part of the price as the cost of the produc- tion,” he asserted without qualification, that the reduced duty would be succeed- ed by a decline in the price fully equal to the proposed reduction, and consequently that the cotton planters paid, as a bounty to the manufacturer, this immense sum, in addition to that assessed upon them as a tax to the general government.

May being informed there of thepactual state of things at Saltillo, he return- ed and recommenced his march to Victoria. It turns out the alarm originated thus: General of New Leon, to a partizan Mexican General, whose name our informant could not recollect, telling him to advance and attack Saltillo on a certain day, and that he had so arranged it that the Mexican inhabitants would rise, join them and defeat the American forces. And to this, a large cavalry force was reported on the ad- vance from San Luis Potosi. With reference | to the letter, Gen.» Worth enclosed it to the au- "| thor, telling him that if again detected in any such proceeding, he would be shot. ‘The ad- vanced cavalry turned out to be a foraging par- ty, pretty numerous to be sure, but nothing more, The forces at Saltillo have been considera- bly strengthened.

Besides the monthly pay, as above stated, one ration | per day is allowed every soldier, which is amply sufficient , for his subsistence ; also a large supply of comfortable | and genteel clothing. Good quarters and fuel are at all times furnished ; and every attention will be paid to making those men who may enlist, and are determined | to serve their country in good faith, comfortable and con- tented with their situation. The best medical attend- duction of pay is made during the period he is unable | to perform his duty. Should the soldier be disabled in the line of his duty, the laws provide a pension for him. | By the above it is seen that the pay and allowances ; are respectable, and that, with prudence and economy, the monthly pay of the soldier may be laid up—as every thing requisite for his comfort and convenience is furnish- ed by the Government, including his sugar and coffee. The prudent soldier, therefore, may readilv save from $420 to $1020 during his enlistment of Five years ; and at the expiration of the term he can, if he chooses, purchase a small tarm in any of the western States, and there settle himself comfortably, on his own land, for the rest of his life. | The sum ot éwo dollars will be paid to any cITIZEN, ' non-commissioned officer or soldier, who shall bring to fhe rendezvous an able-bodied recruit, who shall be re- grularly enlisted.

Taylor had be remained at Corpus Chris- ti; and that as long as he remained there, they intended to confine their forces, and in such numbers only as were necessary to prevent Indian depredations to the re- gion South of the Arroya Colorado. The despatches of Gen. Taylor, communicated | to Congress by the President on the 11th } of May, 1846, in which he describes his | advance to the Rio Grande, prove that the Mexicans were acting upon the faith of this informal agreement ; for, having pre- viously met no opposition to his march, when he reached-the Arroya Colorado on | sembly, amounting to about 153 dollars. | | Dismal Swamp, to the Executive ef Virginia, asking the co-operation of that State. 63 For enclosing the Capitol Square: Pro- vides that it shall be enclosed with stone and iron, at a cost not exceeding $12,000, to be put to the lowest bidder. - 64 In favor of Spier Whitaker and James Irdell: Allows to them $500 each for profes.

Dn a nn HERE—sexn—here—b-e-1-0.— They answer fromevery point of the com- as a sound reverberating among the Rowan Com- ts and rocks. Reader, the J ny of Volunteers have disbanded, and gre now as widely scattered as before = Jate requisition was first published. T Company was fully organized, and, on the day of December last, marched from this place to Charlotte, where they were ordered to rendezvous ; and there they lay for near three weeks awaiting the slow movements of the officers appointed to goster them into service, and to provide jhem with the necessary Camp Equippage. They became impatient—dissatisfied and estiess on account of the tardiness of the govenment officer, and their poor secommadations, and commenced drop- off, one by one—desertmg the camp god returning to their homes. Some of them were arrested by the ofticers and taken back. But they would not remain: They soon commenced going off in squads, until finally the whole company, with some eight or ten exceptions, left the Camp. This is shameful conduct, and our whole community is deeply sensible of its impropriety, and regret it exceedingly.— The cause of it is partly assigned above. The greatest blame, however, is laid to the charge of Capt. Long, by (every man with whom we lave conversed,) who we understand has tendered the resignation of his office tothe Governor. They com- plain against him on several accounts, whether justly or not remains for him te disprove. The company is most com- pletely disbanded, and they declare most positively they will not return to serve un- der him as their Captain. But there is a hope now dawning that this reproach will be removed from the fair character of Old Rowan. John W. Ellis, Esq., has put his hand to the work of collecting the men, and obtain- ing others if necessary, to form a compa- wy, and possessing as he does the contfi- dence of his fellow citizens here, we can- not doubt his success. It due Lieut. W. P. Richards, also, to state that he has eturned from Charlotte, and is now ac- is lively engaged in trying to bring the men into ranks. work to give all the neccessary assistance ad our county may yet maintain her cha- rand standing. Let the citizens unite in the PUBLIC MEETING. We have been requested to state that bere will be a meeting held at the Court House, on Monday next after the adjourn- ment of Court, to take measures for the pormation of the Volunteer Company a- in.

He made it on the Bill reported from the Military Committee, to create the office of Lieutenant General, and he exhausted the whole sulject in opposition to the measure. The question was taken at the conclusion of his Speech, on motion of J Mancvm, to lay the Bill on the table, (a test vote) which was carried 28 to 21—Calhoun, Butler and Yulee, voting with the Whigs. It is believed, that other votes would have been given against the Bill, on the question of its final passage. So, that the President has now been defeated in this, his favorite reeommenda- tion, by decided majorities in both Houses of Congress. Pennsylvania and the Tarif.—The fullow- ing resolutions are now before the lower House of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and will pass that body : Whereas, The Tariff act of 1842 answered _all the purposes of revenue, and yielded to A- merican industry the encouragement necessary to the development of the great resources of the ' country ; And whereas, a bill has since passed the Congress of the United States and become a med Shaver, said that at the fa- 08,” between Saltillo housand Mexicans once niards.

He | bore his intense and protracted sufferings with the ut- ; most patience, meekuess, submission and composure.— | As was his life, smooth and unruffled, so was his death. | Not a single writhe or frown marked his features, love- ly even in death. His relatives, who were not permitted to see his latter end, and are now called to lament their great loss, may rest assured that, though he died in a far distant region, his bed of death was smoothed by hands of love, and bathed with tears of heart-felt sorrow. The tears of strangers who stood around him, and ad- ' mired his meekness and submission, bespoke their inter- ; est in him, as did their sighs and sorrows at the mouth of his gaping tomb. He was interred in the Bethel | church grave yard, where he will sleep until the Arch- righteous Judge in the clouds of Heaven.

TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON. The House of Representatives, with its Dem- ocratic majority of two-thirds, has given ano. therremarkable rebuke to the administration, After refusing to furnish the means which the | President urgently demands for prosecuting the | _war, it has, without a division, substantially ‘declared its dissent from the mode in which he proposes to conduct it. -pointment of a Lieutenant General to super. | sede the veteran officers now in command, wag, His project for the ap- on Tuesday, treated almost with contempt by the Committee on Military Affairs, and the | | course of the committee was promptly susta Such a rebuke would in En. | gland or France, induce the immediate resig- | ined nation of ministers ; but in our republican coun- try no such result is expected, and the Execu- tive government will go on struggling with the representatives of the people, until, perbaps, by very importunity, or through the appliances of secret influence, it may eventually succeed in its purposes. The proposition was renewed by bring relief. The day was fast wearing away, anxiety became more intense and sadness secm- ed to take a firmer hold on every countenance. When lo! the welkin was made to ring with acclamations of joy from the Dismal Swamp, into which the little sufferer had wandered, and from which the discoverer bore his prize in tri- -umph to lay in the arms of its weeping mother. What is remarkable, the child did not appear to be frightened when it was found, nor to have suffered much from being exposed to cold and | wet.— Fayetteville Observer.

In Jreland, the fool, or natural, or inno- cent, {for by all those names he goes.) as represented in the stories of the Irish pea- santry, is very much the fool that Shak- | « speare occasionally embodies ; and even jn the present day, many a Witticism and sarcasin, given birth to by these mendi- cant Touchstones, would be treasured in the memory of our bevu monde, under the different heads of brilliant or biting, had they been uttered by a Bushe or a Plun- ket. I recollect a striking piece of ima- gery employed by one of the tribe, on his perceiving the approach of a certain stew- ard, who, as a severe task-inaster, had made himself disliked amongst the pea- santry employed on his master’s estate.— This man acquired a nick name, (Irish- men, by the way, are celebrated tor the application of sobriquets.) which nick- name Was’ Danger; and ihe fool, stand- ing one day amidst a parcel of workmen, , who were cutting turf, perceived this said | steward crossing the bog towards them: “Ab, ah! by dad, you must work now boys,” said he, * here comes Danger. Bad luek to you,daddy Danger. you dirty blood- sucker, sure the earth's heavy with yoa. But suddenly stopping in his career of common-place abuse, he looked with an air of contemplative dislike towards the man, and deliberately said, ‘There you are, Danger! and may | never break bread, if all the turf in the bog id warm 4 me to you.’ [ Such are the occasional bursts of figu- rative language uttered by our tools, who are generally mendicants: or perhaps it would be fitter to call them dependants, either on some particular family, or on the wealthy farmers of the district. But they hateagreat objection that such should be sup osed to be the case, and are par- ticdlarly jealous of their independence.— An example of this was given me by a friend, who patronized one that was ra- thera favorite of the gentlemen in the neighborhood, and a constant attendant at every fair within ten or fifteen miles, where he was sure to pick up a good deal of money from his gentlemen friends.— Aware of this fact, Mr. meeiing Jim- my* one morning on the road, and know- ing what errand he was bound on, asked him where he was going? ‘J'm goin’ to the fair, your honour,’ ‘Why, what can bring you there! *Ob, I’ve business there.’ * What business —— ”’ + }'l] tell you to-morrow.’ *Ah!

After considerable exertions both of myself and officers, having nearly complet@d the ne- ceesary preparations tv commence the march to Wilmington, on the 28h of December, I re- ceived orders to rendezvous at Charlotte by the Sth of January. [See letter C.] In obedience to this, [ arrived in Charlotte with my Compa- ny on the 6th day of January, at 11 o'clock, A, M. ‘The General Order under which the Regiment was formed contained an assurance that proper officers to muster the men into the service of the Uniled States would await them at their points of rendezvous. 1 will here quote the language contained in the Order. “ The “place of rendezvous will be designated in a .# subsequent order within a very few days, and % officers of the Quarter-Master and Subsis- | “tence Departinents will be ordered to such “ place by the War Department with funds to “to meet the expenses incurred.” ‘This assu- rance was reiterated in Gen. Haywood’s orders, as will be seen by reference again to letter C. On these assurances I fully relied: Without them I could not have assumed the responsibili- ty of carrying my men to Charlotte, in the dead of winter, badly clad, unprovisioned, and with. out camp equipage, to throw them upon the charaties of the citizens of that place, however promptly and liberally tendered. Upon our ar. rival at Charlotte, my surprise and mortification were great to find no provisions of any kind whatever made for our reception. ‘The conse- quences of this condition of things were disas- trous ; affected almost to mutiny. upon the assurances contained in the requisition and in letter C. ‘Vhey were unwilling to be- come objects of charity to a strange communi- ty; they were destitute of means themselves, being most generally poor men, who relied up- on their Jabor for subsistence. They were reconciled upon the pledge of his Excellency Gov. Graham, contained in a letter | dated Jan. 2, and received afier my arrival at Charlotte, that an officer would be there in a_ few days, [see letter D.] to muster them into service, and comply with the requisition. We were quartered in the vicinity of Charlotte, in a very small house, with only one fire-place, the best however, that could be procured, which was kindly proffered by a citizen. We purchas. | ed the means of living upon the faith of the mo- ney to be forwarded upon the passage of the resolutions, then pending, as stated in letter B.

The result was that my men were visited | with severe pneumonias and colds, so much so | that a large number were confined in that small house at one time, entirely inadequate to the | of so many under the most favorable circumstances.

It is proper to state further that desertions commenced on the Oth instant. The men were badly provided for, and ex- posed to the severest weather of the season, without camp equipage or any of the ordinary comforts of citi- zens or soldiers. The men of my company were informed before leay- ing their homes, by the general order of His Excellency, the Governor, bearing date Nov. 19th, A. D. 1846, of the following regulation of the War Department : «“ Non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates, will receive in advance on reaching the place of rendez- vous, twenty-one dollars to pay for or provide clothing for six months, and also be allowed fifty cents for every twenty miles distance in going to the place of rendez- vous,” &c. Dissatisfaction was manifested by the men so soon as they arrived at this place and found that this order had not been complied with, for they had made no provision for clothing before leaving their homes, expecting that the pledge of the Department would be complied with, and that they would be furnished with the means upon their arrival of rendering themselves comfortable. In consequence of the great exposure of my company while encamped here, more than one-half of the inen | had, from time to time, been placed upon the sick list ; | and five are now lying dangerously ill with pneumonia. From these causes the officers of the company found it utterly impossible to keep the mentogether. The great- er portion of my men are now scattered throughout the Counties of Rowan and Davidson. I have informed His Excellency, the Governor, of the condition of my company, and am now waiting his orders. I am, very respectfully, your ob’t. servant, RICH’D. W. LONG, Capt. Comp. “A,” N.C.

The demand for provi- sions was such at several ports, but par- ticularly Vera Cruz, that it was thought the prices would fully compensate for the risk attending the violation of the block ade.— Evening Mercury. bes Later from Campeachy.—The Yucatan schooner Campeacheana, Capt. Puente, arrived yesterday morning from Cam- peachy, whence she sailed on the 10th instant. A commissioner, named Jose Robira, came passenger on this schooner, on his way to Washington, to negotiate with our Government for an acknowledgment of the independence of the peninsula, or a portion of it. He will leave in a day or two for the capital. We have a paper from Campeachy of the date of the 5th inst. In it we find an official report of the capture of the city Tekax by the forces of Campeachy. The city was summoned in the most form manner, and the invading hosts drawn in the most formidable array to await the answer. Upon receiving the refusal to surrender, the signal to lay on was given, and straightway a tremendous onslaught was commenced. We have not time to describe it, but it was altogether success- ful. As we read the details, we trembled at approaching the lists of the slain, but they proved less terrific than we had ap- prehended. Of the attacking party, two were killed, and three wounded, includ- ing one drummer.

Ingersoll, (the Locofuco who said he would have been a Tory if he had lived in the time’ of the Revolution, lately delivered a speech in the House, in which he said, that “though they. had heard a great deal about the misfortunes and calamities of war, which it was very easy to talk about TO THE DELIGHT OF ALL OLD WOMEN; yet he would like any one to tell him what these calamities were ; FOR HE HAD NOT YET HEARD OF THEM” !!

The New York Express says of these abom- inable sentiments : “ The graves of nearly five thousand brave men have been made upon the banks of the Rio Grande. It is, indeed, but an extended grave yard, from Point Isabel to the heights of Saltil- lo. ‘The great heart of the nation weeps for the departed dead—for Ringgold, and Ridgely, and Watson, and Cross, and Hamer, and Gra- ham, and Duncan, and Morris, and Gillespie, and a host of other brave men who fell in the service of the country. They fell, too, with five hundred other brave men, whose loss has made many a wife a widow, many children or- phans, and many houses desolate. But all this is no calamity in the estimation of Charles Ja- red Ingersoll. He had nobrother, nor kindred, nor friend there, and with a heart as cold as ice, bound in the fetters of winter, he shows none of the sympathies of a man, and-none of the feel- ings of a Christian.” Hostilities have spread over the penin- sula, the different cities taking different sides in the contest going on.

THE RESUSCITATED GENERAL OR- } nied by any man who possesses a spark given; but if that River can be made nav- igable for boats of light draught, without ay great expenditure, the work is en- tirely feasible, and should be undertaken with zeal. The necessity of some means of trans- portation more easy and less expensive than any we now have, is daily becoming more obvious. The vast amount of pro- dace ‘in Western North Carolina must havea market that is accessible by some means less toilsome to the industrious far- mer. The fact that North Carolina has Jong been drained of her wealth by her sister States, cannot be disguised. Then why should we suffer this longer to exist 2 when we have the most ample means to prevent it. That the policy is ruinous in all its tendencies, cannot, we think, be de- of intelligence.

The cost of transporta- tion, and the expense of repairing. are tri- fling ; and these alone will preponderate all arguments in favor of a Rail Road where a canal can be had.—The region through which it is proposed to cut the Canal, is less rough, and less mountain- ous, than those in other States where Ca- nals have been opened, and are now in successful operation. We hope the peo- ple of Western North Carolina, who are so deeply interested in this great work, will take it into weighty consideration, and determine for themselves its practicable.

The subject is Mr. Nathaniel N., who has been afflicted with the Liv- er complaint, together with some other complaints,—say Flatuience and Dyspepsia. He has taken one bottle of the Restorer together with the Aromatic Extract and De- | purative Powder. He says that in 12 hours he felt re- | lieved, and 24 hours, much relieved. He has so far re- | covered, now, as to follow the avocation of his farm with | little or no difficulty. He says he wants all who are afflic- | ted, to use your medicines, and is recommending them to the afflicted. I would be glad you would send me a sup- ply very soon, by the stage, of Restorer, Aromatic Extract | and Abyssinia Mixture, as a vast number of men are ta- | ing thein now.

S: Sen-| ete on Tuesday, from the Baltimore Ame- | riean The Three Million Bill was then taken | up. and Mr. Calhoun commenced his re- mafks. He said that never since our country has been upon the stage of action , have we been placed in a more critical | position. We were inthe midst of a war, and.there was also a question of great | domestic inquietude. He hoped there, would be the fullest discussion upon both | ics before the close of the session, short agit was. The important question was | w Should this war be prosecuted ?— Were {wo ways—the one to push ob in the hostile country, and the other to) defensive position, Which was best? ‘*. C. said it wasa grave question. and | ne to which he had given his most delib- | efaite attention. His judgment was that | the defensive position was the best; the best to-being the war to a certain and suc- céssfalend. This would result in most my, and most honor. If he right- understood the objects of the war this was consistent. The causes for which this war was commenced were three: To repe) invasion. To establish the Rio Grande asa Boun- dary. 'I'o secure indemnity due to our citizens. The two first were first considered. The President did not ask Congress to declare war. He asked Congress to re- eognise the existence of the war, and he assumed that there was invasion because the Mexicans had crossed the Rio del Norte. | The President and Congress had regar- | ded the primary objects of the war the es- | Tablishment of Boundary. Congress has | avowed no other object than this. Being | in the war, however, it was recoommend.- | ed that it be prosecuted for the payment of our claims. | The two objects of the war had been maintained—Invasion repelled, the Rio, Grande secured, and we could safely act upon the defensive. | Mr. Calhoun went on to state what the | character of this defence should be. It) ought to be near our supplies—in proxim- | ity to our country, convenient, &c. ‘To- wards Mexico we ought to be most liber- al, not only because she was our neigh- | bor and a sister republic, buta great pow- | er upon our Continent. More than this, Mexico was one of the) grefitest problems connected with our for- | eign relations. ‘There was a mysterious | connection between her and us. She was as forbidden fruit. The day of her death | would be almost the end of our political | existence. Her independence, her capa- , city, her greatness, should be esteemed by us as next in importance to our own. | Mr. Calhoun defined what he thoughta_ good boundary defence. Beginning atthe | mouth of Del Norte, continue to Pass del Norte, and then due west to the Gulf of California, and it would strike the head of the Gulf. This he would defend. It would give, us the Rio Grande from its mouth to its- source, and he had consulted military men, who said that three forts and four regi- ments would be sufficient for all purposes, as follows: One fort at the mouth of the Del Norte. One near Camargo. One at Pass Del Norte. From the waters which separate the | Del Norte from those entering the Gulf of California one more might be placed. Hence five regiments and a small Na- val force, one consistent with our Naval Peace establishment, could successfully defend the boundary. This country was of little importance | to Mexico, but of great importance to us. It had only 109,000 people, and these were | spread over 600,000 square miles. An open uninhabited country was the best for us; we wanted space for our population | which doubled once in twenty-three years. Tt would be eighty millions in forty-six | years, This country (New Mexico) was | remote from Mexico, farther from her than from Washington. For the first time the savages were making their great inroads upon the Europeans. This was not be- cause the Spaniards were not brave, but | because they were disarmed by the Fed- | eral authorities of Mexico. This country he would recommend to be held ‘not as absolute, but as subject to ne- gotiation ; and so he would say to Mexi- | eo. Ite would deal with her liberally and | dg’so from the first. Until such Peace should be made, he would hold all the | ports in Mexico which could be held with- | Wt too great a sacrifice of men and mo-— Bes. Ie would impose a low rate of du- | ty, not-exceeding ten per cent. and this | would-yield sufficient Revenue to ensure the payment of the defence which would not cost More than between two and three millions of déflars. Theeffeet ofthis policy would be no- more taxes, a reduction ot fifteen millions, and the great measures which he and his friends (free trade) held so much at heart saved, He did not think that Mexico would hold out under such a state of fact.

Santa Anna declared his opposition to the “bill.

If he had appeased the army, and come out as the avowed champion of the church, his authori- ty in Mexico would have been paramount, and, _once firmly possessed of power, he would have _made peace. If he has been assassinated, as report has it, I am inclined to think there is | little prospect of peace, except with the subju- gation of the whole country. The Mexican Congress and the Mexican press every where make this theissue, “ Ser o no ser.” The ad- ministration of the country is in the hands of men who have nothing to lose by the misfor- tunes of their country, and the army is conduc- ted by generals who even hail defeat as afford. ing them the best opportunity of filling their ‘pockets with the public funds. | Tt is now generally believed in Vera Cruz that an attack will scon be made upon that place, but no reinforcements have been recently in- troduced. There are about 1,000 men in the rcastle and 1,800 regular soldiers in the town, besides the militia or national guard, who may be set down at 1,000 more.

It appears that on the 5th of October, the Cyane hove in sight of the town, and discovered that two gun-boats, of which she was in search, were there and had been‘hauled up and dismantled. Captain Da Pont communicated with the authori- tieson'the 6th, and demanded the delive- ry of the gun boats, and the registers of the vessels'in the port. This was refused. There were 500 Mexican troops, of the Sinoloa battalion, in the town, stationed behind a-hill in view of the vessel. On the 7th, a broad-side was sprung upon the town; when farther parleying ensued with some ‘merchants of the place, who said they were neutral, but without result. Before ten‘o’elock, when the bombard- ment was to begin, the gun-boats were discoveredto bevon fire; and two paix- hams were fired atthe persons firing them, upon which they dispersed; but they had succeeded in their object.

Bat it is not the distresses of any such dis- tant regions that have summoned us to- -gether on this oceasion. .The appalling and heart-rending distresses of Ireland and Irishmen form the object of our pre- sent consultation. ‘Mhat Ireland, which has been in all the vicissitudes of our na- tional existence, our friend, and has ever extended tu us her warmest sympathy— those Irishmen, who, in every war in which we have been engaged, on every battle- field, from Quebec to Monterey, have stood by us, shoulder to shoulder, and shared in all the perils and fortunes of the conflict. The imploring appeal comes to us from the Irish nation, which is so identified with our own as to be almost part and parcel ot’ ours, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. Nor is it any ordinary case of hu- man misery, or a few isolated cases of death by starvation, that we are called ators who voted against the resolution depriv- ing the editors of that paper of the courtesy of a seat within the Senate Chamber, dared to sanction or approve it, but which they a7 con. dem, either by unqnalified denunciation or a mild censure of its authors or by a silence scarcely less expressive and emphatic. And yet, is it not strange, that gentlemen who affect so much reverence for the treedom of the press, have not a word to say of its wanton licentious- ness, the most efficient agent of its subversion, if it ever shall be subverted? — Is it not surpris- ing that they have no word of censure fur the bold attempt to lash honorable Senators into a craven surrender even of constitutional opin- ions at the behest of the Executive ? But let us return to the proceedings of this meeting, of which we were an interested spec- tator. As soon as it had been organized, by calling Jobn Rutherford, of this city, to the Chair, and appointing Mr. William R. Drinka rd, of Peters- burg, Secretary, Mr. Washington Greenhow rose, and after announcing that information had been received that the notorious Wilmot provi- press was in no manner involved in the action of the Senate. It might, indeed, be a question whether the offence was of so grave a charac- ter as to call for this exercise of its power— but the power itself was undoubted, and might, on suitable occasions, be rightfully exercised. The attempt to identify it with the Sedition law was absurd and ridiculous. No law had been passed or proposed, abridging the freedom of the press—and the editors of the Union are as | free and untrammelled now as they were before they were deprived of the privilege heretofore extended to them. Mr. H. referred, with great emphasis and effect, to the fact, that at the last session of Congress, the reporters of the New York ‘Tribune had been expelled by the House of Representatives—and for what? Was it for an imputation of treason against a majority of its members? -No; but simply because, in cne of his letters, he had held up one of them to ridicule, by stating that it was his habit, ata | certain hour of the day, to retire behind the | Speaker’s chair to feast on Sausages! Who, then, complained that the sacred rights of the press had becu invaded? | the $3,000,000 Lill. This gentleman has been so long in public | life, that we expected to be edified at least, by | his Speech, if not.convinced. But we must say, and we do it with a just appreciation of what | is due to truth, that we did not hear during the late Session of our State Legislature, a regular Speech, which did not excéed: it in positive a- bility. When during the heat of a political contest, some three years since, a wag asserted that the character of Mr. Cass could only be ‘appropriately designated by dropping the initial | C from his name, we thought that truth had been | sacrificed to a bon mot. We will not now say that the assertion is true ; but we will say, that | to his honorable friends behind him, (the | Whigs,) that he could not go with them. | Mr. W. warned the democracy of the Union | against the dangers which beset them. If they | | could only see the corruption which had been | brought about by this administration—could ‘only see how they were made use of by those who were seeking only plunder—plunder of the public offices, they would view it with aston. ‘ishment and alarm. ‘hey would come, here, ‘and tumble the President, Heads of Depart. | / ments, Senate, and House—Whigs and Demo. | crats—heels over head inte the Potomac, and serve them right too. He did not believe that the elevation of the Whigs to power would /cure the evil. Corruption had laid its fangs _too deeply upon both parties, and there was jn the English language, will conve _no remedy for the evil, but the creation of a, of the honorable Senator, and that third party, a pure, old fashioned Democratic | Humsvc. He ia emphatically two bushels o _party, who would discard plunder in all its wind, compressed into a bushel bag. His chief shapes. theme of declamation, was the glory and great. Mr. Mason, of Va., said he should vote a- | ness of America, and the only reason which he gainst the expulsion of the editors because it adduced why she is so great, was that she is so | -entrenched upon the liberty of the Press, and proud.

Mr. [Iarvie’s re- marks were unanswered because they were un- auswerable. As soon as he sat down, the Se- nator from Scott demanded the previous ques- tion, which was promptly ordered—and the mo- tion to refer having been first rejected, the pre. | -amble and resolution were adupted—some fif- . . { teen or twenty voices, as well as we could judge | by the sound, voting against them ! | said that “Congress should pass no law a- bridging the freedom of the press.” This res- olution was an amendment of the Constitution. | Mr. M. said he was among those included in | the denunciations of the paper, for he had voted nection with his subject, did not occur to him— nator was constantly quoting, or rather mis- | quoting Scripture, wonder this passage, in con- “ Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit befure a fall.” | not to recede so as to give the President pow- er to make appointments in the recess of the jate Chamber at an early hour, being premon- | SO: "ished that Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, had the floor, |__ This vote was defended, and after that Mr. | on the special order, viz: the Three Million | Mason returned to the subject of expulsion.— 11) The Senate meets at 12 o’elock, but at | He admitted that his friend, the editor of the 7), every avenue to the Chamber was crowded Union, had committed a fault, but it was a fault) ith Ladies and Gentlemen.

From letters in it we leafn that the ship Ondiaka, having on board four companies of Louisiana Vol- unteers, under Col. De Russy, was wreck- ed about ‘a week before on Cape Roxo, forty-five milessouthof Tampico. It was said that a large party of Mexicans had attacked and made prisoners of all the volunteers, as well asa party under Lieut. Miller, who had left Tampico for their as- sistance. Doubts. however, are entertain- ed of the truth of their capture. “*Avother report states that the Mexican General Cos had arrived on Tharsday last, the 4th inst., from Tuspan, off the wreck of the ship Ondiaka, with 480 troops, con- sisting of 280 of the battallion of Tuspan, the rest National Guards and cavalry ; that 6n his way Gen. Cos was joined by 120 men from Tamiagua, 180 from Papant- la, and 230 from Omela—his whole force amounting to 980 men, with four pieces of artillery ; and after summoning Col. De Russy to surrender his force as prisoners of war, which summons was promptly re- jected, an engagement took place which lasted till 10 o'clock, P. M., after the in- formant left, and the result was not known. Gen. Cos had stationed an advance of 80 cavelry and 50 infantry at a pass to pre- vent reinforcements arriving from this place. At any rate a Brigade consisting of three regiments of Tennessee volunteers, two of foot and one mounted, under the command of Brig. Gen. Pillow. was order- ed to go to the relief of Col. De Russy, and left Tampico on the night of the 8th instant. From Vera Cruz.—The Picayune has also advices from Vera Cruz, via Havana, tothe Ist inst. By them we learn that the rumor of the assassination of Santa Anna is unfounded. He was still at San Luis engaged in his favorite diversion— cock fighting. Gen. Vega has been ap- pointed commandant general of Vera Vera Cruz is said to be 3500—the garri- son of the Castle 1100. Both city and castle are short of provisions. We find no mention made of the cap- ture of Chihuahua, but there has been an action in the immediate vicinity of El Pa- so del Norte in which our troops were en- tirely successful. - The loss on each side was not known or is not stated. On the 27th the Americans took possession of El Paso with 600 cavalry and 400 infantry. The cavalry immediately started in pur- suit of the runaways and although it was not known at Chihuahua on the 2d of Jan- uary that they had overtaken them, it was thought likely they would get possession of two wagons which were in the rear with the park, as well as of thirty men who escorted them. This seemed probably to us, too, though we much doubt if the Americans ever got up to the runaways. From Brazos Santiago we learn that Gen. Worth was preparing to leave that place with his troops. Seventy days ra- tions had been issued, and the division was expected to be on ship board and sail for some point near Vera Cruz in a few gnatures of the President and Cashier; i davs. | The correspondent of the Picayune fur- | hishes, in addition, the following melan- of cars ;—the genuine a female figure, &c.— ; choly intelligence.

But the President, evidently assured that the world did not believe his story of the war being commenced by Mex. ico, endeavors to bolster himself up by an en- umeration of the many wrongs we have endu- red from her. These might be a justification for waging war against her, but they are cer. tainly no evidence that she waged war against us. But we have lost sight of the Virginia resolu- tion, which, as introduced by Mr. McPherson, and passed by a vote of 61 to 49, (nearly all the Calhoun party declining to vote,) is as fol- lows : | Resolved, That the present war with the Re- public of Mexico, most unrighteously provoked on her part by a long series of outrages towards the United States, presents such an occasion as requires the united action of all true friends of the counfty in enforcing a speedy and honora- ble termination of this war, by a vigorous prose- cution of hostilities. Here is an assertion, not that the war was | commenced by Mexico, but that it was “ provok. | ed” by her. Now the meaning of this is, be- | yond dispute, that it was “provoked by Mexi- | co,” and commenced by us,—that is, by Presi- | dent Polk, as no one pretends that it was com. | menced by Congress.— Fay.

The command devolved upon. Vidal, who possessed little military skill, agd,ex- pected-to surround and destroy the-Ame- ricans like so many rabbits. He. pushed forward 500 cavairy under Capt. Antonio Ponce, of which one half were’ Pasenos. The Americans demanded a parley, which was denied, and the fight immediately commenced. Ponce charged at the head of his cavalry, but in vain, as he was wounded in the first onset. Just then the Pasenos ran, and threw such disorder into the whole that all took to flight, leaving a howitzer in the hands of the Americans, but carrying off three other pieces.. Vidal returned with all speed to Carrizal, forty leagues from El Paso. The loss on each side was not known or is not stated. On the 27th, the Americans took possession of El Paso with 600 cavalry and 400 in- fantry. The cavalry immediately started in pursuit of the runaways, although it was not known at Chihuabua on the 2nd of Jan. that they had overtaken them. The account then goes off into lamen- tations that, through the cowardice of the Pasenos, all their sacrifices and sufferings have beenin vain. The situation of their state appears hopeless to themselves. A letter from Mazatlan. dated the 11th of January is publistted. Gov. Castro was then in that city. Ex-Gov. D. Pio Pico was in Guaymas.

The brig Cayuga has arrived in the river, having left ‘'ampico on the morning of Satur- day, the 13th inst. Mr. Wheeler, who was a | passenger in the brig, came up to town yes- terday afternoon on a Balize boat, and very kindly furnished us with interesting informa- tion from Tampico, anda copy of the Sentinel of the 10th inst. Our readers will rejoice to learn that four companies of Louisiana volunteers, wrecked on the Ondiaka, are all safe with the excep. tion of six whom the colonel was constrained to leave behind. We give the full particulars below, adding here that there was no action between the volunteers and the Mexicans ; and that they reached Tampico city the morning of We learn verbally that there were ninety or one hundred serviceable guns in possession of the wrecked volunteers, the others being either lost in getting ashore or rendered unserviceable —one reason for DeRussey’s not waiting the twenty-four hours. POSTSCRIPT. Sull Later from the Brazos and Veru Cruz After our paper was made up this morning, | the schr. Heroine, Capt. Shaw, arrived from Brazos, whence she sailed on the 16th instant. She has a Jarge mail on board, which of course is not opened, but from one or two letters brought by passengers, and from verbal reports, we gather the following news. Gen. Scott was still at the Brazos, but was expected to leave on the Alabama, which arriv- ed there on the morning of the 16th. Another account says that he was to sail on the Massachusetts, which was certainly wailing for him. Four companies ot artillery were al- ready on board that vessel, Capt. Smith’s, Capt. Swartwout’s and Lieut. Shackelford’s of the 2d, and Capt. Vinton’s of the 3d, who are to act as a body guard to Gen. Scott. A part of the 8th Infantry was also on board. All the private vessels at the Brazos had been taken up by Government, and were rapid- ly loading with mules, wagons and proyisions. The camp at Palo Alto had been broken up, and Gen. Worth and Staff were at the mouth wait- ing to embark. open to him for correction, and of that fact Their exposition is intended to exonerate them. selves from any responsibility for the loss of the Department. finite object in view in relation to M can territory, it is net probable that will originate any negotiation that dog not correspond with that object.

In the parts of Mayo which I visited the failure is.com- plete, and the destitution of the cottier population is total. ‘They have nothing. ‘The public works do not employ one quarter of them.— There is no other employment. ‘The wages of those who get work, about one shilling per day, are quite insufficient to support a family at pre- sent prices. They have been unable to.buy their usual supply of wister clothing, and onthe contrary have been forced by want to pawn.any rood clothes they had. ‘Iheir pigs are goné— | the poultry are eaten or sold—the, very. dogs have been drowned, lest they should eat any- thing, that could support human life. I sdwa few pigs and fowl, and an oceasional dog with the farmers, but nothing in comparison with former sown, or at least.a diminution of manure. The lost-time. may be partially redeemed by spring sowing, but the loss of manure is incural!e.— The land cannot obtain its nourishment, and the’result must be a diminished production.

Heap Quarters, San Luts Porost, January 27, 1847, The Picayune, in an extra issued on the 25th, gives further items by this arrival : Gen. Wool apprised Gen. Taylor, towards the end of January, that he anticipated an at- tack at Saltillo. In consequence, Gen. Taylor left Monterey on the Ist of February with his staff for Saltillu. He took with him Bragg’s battery and ‘Thomas’s battery, the Ist Missis- sippi Rifles, and May’s squadron of dragoons. Capt. Thos. F. Marshall was to leave Monte. rey on the 3d inst. with his company of moun. ted men, also for Saltillo, Capt. Gordon, with a detachment of 150 recruits for different regi- ments, also left Monterey for Saltillo with Gen- Taylor. The American forces at Saltillo would be be- tween 5000 and 6000 men.

Mr. Haile writes on the 18th that there were transports enough at the Brazos for all the re- maining troops of Worth’s division, and that a a In three good days more the whole command would be off. By this arrival we have further information in regard to the troops captured by Gen. Mi- non’s own modest report, which is befure us, his prisoners are set down at 82 in all.

The last news from the seat of war, gives strong corroboratory information of the rumors previously received of the movements of Santa Anna towards Sal- tillo. This information may be merely to draw off the attention of our forces from Vera Cruz; and then again it may not. The Mexican General may presume that he can easily regain the conquered Mexi- can towns, and may be directing the movements of his forces really with that view. General Taylor will have the odds of numbers greatly against him, but he has the advantage of position. By the intelligence in another column from the Picayune, it will be seen that he is con- _centrating his forces at Saltillo for the de- | | fence of that place.

The great fear is, that they may intercept our communications along the river, and the road from Matamoros and Camargo to Monterey. We trust, however, that Gen. Scott, who seems to be moving with great caution and prudence, will not weak- en our forces on the Rio Grande, so as to expose our lines to be easily broken, and the hard earned results of a most expen- sive campaign thus be lost to our arms.

During his absence, the prize steamship Petrita brought down from Vera Cruz, on the 23d, Lieat. Col Alfonse Delapu, [correctly Bu- peru,] of Louisiana. His adventures are rath- er romantic, as far as I can learn. Under in- structions from General Scott, he set out from New Orleans to visit Vera Cruz and the sur- rounding country as a spy, and to cover his in- tentions,* proceeded first to Havana, and ob- tained a passport to Vera Cruz as a French- man, (he is of French descent and speaks the tougue like a Parisian). After arriving there he penetrated as far as Jalapa, ascertained the probable number of men that could be thrown into the Castle of San Juan de Ulua, the length of time for which it is provisioned, &c., and the general tout ensemble, the material, &c., that would oppose Gen. Scott’s contemplated attack. During his stay he narrowly escaped detection, being subjected to several close ex- aminations. Being informed that the authori- ty intended committing him to the Castle as a spy, he had bearly time to escape on board a French merchant barque lying at Sacrificios, from which he was taken and brought down by the’ Petrita. His escape was singularly provi- dential. ‘The men of the boat supposed him to be one of the passengers of the boat and car- ried him off under mistake, They were wait. | ing for one of the passengers and being order- od of selecting candidates has becom, prevalent.one of the age, and when; conducted with fairness and in good it is a good one.

In respect to the sex, we wish it were not necessary to say | this, but the remark is true and must be said, that the _ honorable reputation and suecess of sons in after life, are | mainly dependent upon the early influence exerted over | | them bya mother. The earliest impressions are always | | the most lasting ;—and where are those impressions made, but in the nursery ; and who is there to make them so much asa mother? Yes, she is responsible to a great degree for all which her children are to be. We do not deny that vast responsibility also rests upon the father, to aid and sustain the mother as she moulds the young minds that inhabit the beautiful forms which she | | eradled in herarms. But a father’s duties are out in the | busy world—there is but little time comparatively, which | | he can spend in his family of little ones ;—and when he | | does return from the cares of a perplexing life, he brings | | to the fireside a mind, often oppressed and wearied—lit- | tle fitted for the exertion of the best influence at the , | family altar. | It has been said, and we think, truly, that there sel- | | dom or never has been a man who has shone as the ben- and -crie: he he greater distariee a faths ihe farther ard the more | efactor of hia fellows, that was not blest in early life with | to learn the Cap making business. | an-intelligent and faithful mother, who devoted herself spar Bivins ya f I embrace -and-for- | eh rth es not.g0. seLclitin we eae after her, ess.she was compelled, .through ity, to bow down to. the needle. un- tilevery thing, looked black before her es;.and dizziness ‘which seemed to mates ‘alf'things in motion and confusiod. “ The story of the capture of the bark Pens of Philadelphia, with 900 slaves, un- der false colors, thermometer i in the hold of putrid and dead slaves at.100 and 120, ‘is sickening in the extrema to every heart | not made of stone.

It was not a question for the President to decide— and much less at a time when Congress was in session, and advice of which he disdained to ask. ‘That movement, then, we contend, was the direct and obvious cause of the war—a movement made by the President, in derogation of the constitution, and ’ in amanner insulting to the legislative depart. ment of the Government. Heneg it is that we regard this as strictly the President’s war— “for all the consequences of which,” he, and he alone is responsible.

Mr. President, if the history of our race has established any truth, it is bot a confirmation of what is writen, “ the way of the transgressor is hard.”’ Inordinate ambition, watoning in power, and spurning the humble maxims of Justice, has, ever has, and ever shall end in ruin. Strength cannot always trample upon weak. ness—the humble shall be exalted—the howed dowa will at lengih be lified up.

"LET JUSTICE BE DONE,” &e, One objection raised by the Democra- the Regiment, is that they were not taken /from among those who had volunteered. ‘Now we happen to know that several /gemtlemen volunteered on purpose to run | tor these offices, who never intended to go ‘unless they were so appointed. These as- -ptring heroes have all backed out to a man, except Gen. Witsox. Did this mock patriotism deserve to be rewarded ? Bui was this a good rule for the Gov- ernor? ii so, it must have been equally good for Mr. Pork in his appointments. How has he observed it? Were the Quar- termaster and Paymaster, the Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon and Commissary, selec- ted from the Volunteers? Not one of them, except the Paymaster. He pretended to Mr. Calhoun. * * * Viewing the affair in this light w little vengeance upon * * * ifested by the State Democratic Conven. _tion to pursue the “ Chivalry” to utter ex- tinction. for the champion of Mr. Calhoun. or even an opologist for many of his acts, but sure- _ly, those who are so tenacious of the lib- erty of the press can pardon freedom of thought and of speech ; and if Mr. Calhoun does differ with his party upon some col- lateral points, is it sufficient reason for the summary butchery his enemies desire to perpetrate upon him ? * * * * * * * * We are no Calhoun man—we cannot approve of all he does or says—we think his attack upon Mr. Richie was an incon- ceivably ridiculous affair ; but as to its be- | ing an assault upon the freedom of the press—that’s all humbug ; and we are not | going to join in a crusade against him up- on any such pretext. | with our Regiment of Volunteers, the fact. that the Camp near Smithville is called ‘Camp Graham.’ Wonderful proof, truly ! His Excellency appoints a “ Whig” Colo- nel over a Democratic Regiment—this |“ Whig” Colonel, in honor of his patron, calls the Camp of the Regiment he com- mands, ‘Camp Graham,’ and this proves, say the Federal prints, how popular Gov. Graham and his appointments are! The Regiment had as much to do in naming We clip the above from a little Leco F'oco paper, printed at Salisbury ; have volunteered once, but when the Ad- jutant General called on him to march to Wilmington, he protested that his name | had been put on the list without his au- thority, and averred that he had never vo- lunteered. But if it was a proper rule for the Gov- ernor, the Regiment have certainly the greatest right to complain of its infraction. Well, how do they understand it? And how have they acted upon it? They have lately elected a Chaplain, Mr. Barrve, who had not volunteered, by a large vote over a clergyman of talents and standing Mr. Freeman, who had joined them as a pri- vate. We have another late example of an actual repudiation of the rule, by the Dem- ocratic_ House of Representatives in Con- gress. In the discussion of the Bill au- thorizing President Pork to appoint an ad- ditional number of General Officers in the Army, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, moved to amend the 2d section so as to make it read —* which Officers shall be selected from the volunteer corps now in service” ; which was lost—the whole Democracy voting against the amendment. Now, is it liberal, is it just. to make a rule for the Governor, which no one else observes? which even the Regiment in their own elections disregard? And is it right (we do not ask if it is generous) to heap this abuse on our Executive. one of whose appointments pleases all, (the Ma- jor) ; another of which, (the Lieut. Colo- nel,) was so strongly recommended by both parties in the Legislature, that to have passed him by would have been deemed unpardonable ; and the remaining one, (Col. Commandant.) has proved himself in the estimation of every body who has wit- nessed his course in Smithville, the very best selection that could have been made— merely because they had not previously | been cunning enough to volunteer in the ranks, asa preliminary step to promotion ” Let malcontent Loco Focos either cease their groans, or include President Polk, ‘the Democracy of Congress, and the Reg- | iment too, in their Jeremiads. | } { (F It is said confidently, that Mr. | Torney, of the Senate, is the anthor of | the libel, signed: Vindieation, for the pub- | ‘lication of which, MxRilchie was exclu- =f } The fact about the matter is, that | the name, “« Camp Grauam,” was first giv- too, chiefly, from two as decided “ Demo- | cratic” Counties as in the State; and the “ Whig Colonel” had as much to do with bestowing the name of Granam upon the Camp, as did the veritable Editor of the “ Journal” himself. “ Camp Grauam” was the name of the Wake and New Hano- ver Company Camp, and if “ partizan” predilections governed in the choice of. the title, the presumption is forced upon us, that the majority of this Company are | Whigs, although representing strong Lo- co Foco Counties. And if the Regiment saw proper to adopt it as the name of the Regimental Camp, they had a perfect right to do so, and the “ Whig Colonel” had no control over the matter, at all.— Raleigh Register. Corruption oF THE Locoroco Party.— We presume Mr. Wescort, one of the Democratic Senators from Florida, is good | authority for the corruptions of his own party,—of course he knows more about them than he does of the Whigs. In open- pulsion of the editors of the Union from | the floor of the Senate, he said : “J warn the democracy of the people | of this country that they don’t know the one-twentieth part of the corruption—the , feculent, reeking corruption of this gov- | } ernment!

We are informed by the “ Halifax Re- publican,” of a Duel, near Spring Chureh, Greenville county, Va., between Mr. Ken- nedy and Mr. Satterthwaite, both of Beau- fort County. The “Republican” says: “They fought with percussion guns, at the distance of forty yards, loaded with buck shot. At the first fire, Mr. Satterth- waite received several shot below the knee, and three buck shot passed through Mr. Kennedy’s hat ; the former firing a- bout a second before his adversary. They again took their positions, back to back, and at the words “ wheel and fire,” wheel- ed and fired at the same time, Mr. Sat- terthwaite missing, and Mr. Kennedy shooting three, four or five back shot through the skirts of Mr. Sattertwaite’s coat, ranging with his hip. “A proposition was then made by Mr. Sparrow, Mr. Satterthwaite’s friend, to | withdraw the challenge for the purpose cuse for these recusants, that they could not in their souls endure that Preamble, which, at the time of their offer to the Go- vernor, had been for three weeks warm- pass.—Ral.

The President—a good looking, quiet, decent old gentleman, who thorns—popped up, as if a new idea had sprung a mine under bim and blown him upon his feet, and exclaimed at the top of his voice, “the gentleman from King Wil- liam will come to order.” “Sir,” said Douglas, “if it was in order for the gen- tleman from SpottSylvania to assail Mr. Calhoun—and from your silence I pre- sume it was—certainly it is in order fot me to defend him.

A Mexican officer of equal rank was sent in as a hostage, where- upon Major Gaines did go out and satisfied him- self of the overwhelming number of the Mexi- can army. Gen.

Wes- BER, OF KENTUCKY. | + Tre American Review has now reached nearly the | | end of a second year. Its success so far has been en- | tirely unprecedented. Its subscription list now numbers about 3,500, with a constant increase. The public sense | of the value of the work is shown by the fact, that of | the numerops new subscribers whose names have been | sent into the office within the Inst few months, a large number have ordered the back volumes. Ample ar- | rangements have been made to add greatly to the mer- its of the work, in both its political and literary charac- | | ter; and it is confidently believed that the patronage of | | this Review, on the part of the Whig party, and of the | literary public generally, will soon be so large as to ena- | | ble it to pay so liberally for every order of high and fin- ished writing, as to make it in all respects the mosc able | | and attractive periodical published in the United States. | We earnestly ask the continued confidence and support of all true minds in the country. Encravines.—There will be four engravings each | year, carefully executed; and what is of more impor- tance, accompanied with ample biographies, that may stand as a part of the history of the country. More em- bellishments may be given, if the intrinsic value of the Review can thereby be enhanced. a Terms.—The Review will continue to be published at Five Dollars, in advance; Three copies, however, _—_ | will be offorded at twelve dollars ; Five for twenty dol- | lars ; 80 that Committees, Societies, Clubs, &¢., can ob- | tain them at a more liberal rate.

In that despatch, he announc- ed to the War Department that he was going to advance from Point Isabel, and he said, “ if the enemy oppose my march, in whatever num- bers, I shall fight him!” They did oppose his march, with greatly superior numbers—he did Those who know Gen.

Scott’s re- sponsibility for Gen. Taylor's dangerous _situation depends upon the question, whe- ‘ther the withdrawal of the troops was his own act, or was done under instructions ‘from Washington. The expedition against Vera Cruz was doubtless planned before ‘Gen. Scott took his departure.

Taylor's com- 'mand, was but a part of the policy of the | Executive ? | But in respect to another aspect of the subject, the friends of the President are seeking to avert the responsibility which ‘he must necessarily bear. It is represen- 'ted that Gen. Taylor, of his own head, ' undertook to advance beyond Saltillo, and _that as he thereby threw himself into un- | necessary danger, the government is not | to be censured for any disaster that may / befall him. The Enquirer of yesterday | starts this point, making the following ex- 'traordinary assertions, which, as will be seen, it does not avouch: “So far from Taylor being ordered by | the Government to San Luis, we under- | stand that they were -surprised to hear of his movement towards that place—and that his march was undertaken, contrary | a moment of impatience. But we do not “It is under consideration by the gov- | vouch for these facts—nor do we cast any ernment,” he says, “though not yet fully | : ae derennined: fo Ped a ae force feel high esteem and admiration.

But I am not wil- ling to wrest from enfeebled, distracted, reluc- tant Mexico, one foot of what belongs to her.

Sir, | hope this accursed lust of land may never take possessien of the hearts of the American people, unjust as it is its origin, and ruinous as it must be in its consequences.— Does any man believe that Mexico will volun- tarily surrender one third of her territory? If she should by treaty assent to such surrender, would it not be a mockery to consider it an ex. ercise of free will? Will it ever be yielded except at the point of the Bayonet, with a voli. tion about equal to that of Gil Blass when he gave hisggparity to a piteous voice of supplica- tion, supported by a blunderbus presented at his head? Sir, disguise it as we may, the ob- render. If the expedition could go forth without the object being known to the -enemy, it is supposed that four thousand troops would be a sufficient force for the enterprise, receiving as they would the co-operation of our naval force in the truth laid before the world, before we | condemn any one prematurely.” It seems to us impossible to be acquaint- | ed with Gen. Taylor’s views, in regard to | the prosecution of the war, as disclosed country, relieved versal expression in the superiority these reports are still se and indeGnit nough can be gathered from them to give’ tea'be. ry assurance that Gen. ‘Taylor has“ whipped Santa Anna. aks. From Capt. Brown, a passenger on the Wm. C. Preston, we gather the following particulars of the reports most generally “received at® the Brazos : Gen. Taylor was attacked by Santa Anna at Agua Nueva, and after a sharp battle fell back in good order, to the vicinity of Saltillo. Here. he was again attacked by Santa Anna, and a sharp engagement ensued, in which Gen. Tay- lor was victorious. Continuing his retreat, in good order, Gen. Taylor fell bavk to Monterey where he arrived in satety. ra here, and finding Santa Anna wou him, Gen. T. pallied out against Santa Anna and gave him battle. A long and sevére con. flict ensued, which terminated in the total de. feat of Santa Anna without heavy loss. The loss is reported to be between 4 and §000.— This may be an exaggeration, but when it is considered thay Gen. Taylor had twenty pieces of flying artillery, splendidly officered and man- aged, we venture the opinion that the Mexican loss has been very heavy. Capt. Brown states that all the points on the Rio Grande are in hourly apprehension of: be- ing attacked by the Mexicans. At Camargo, especially, the number of Mexicans hanging a- bout the outskirts of the town had created con. siderable anxiety and vigilance among our troops. There were about 1200 troops at Ca- margo. Captain Hicks, who commands the steam. boat Warren, in the government employ on the Rio Grande, came passenger in the Wm. C. Preston, and gives the fullowing corrobora. live information. Capt. H. brings intelligence from Camargo, to the 5th inst., at which place information had been received from a Mexican who had just arrived from the interior, that a collision had taken place at Buena Vista, Sal. tillo and Monterey, between the forces of San. ta Anna (numbering some 23,000) and those of Gen. Taylor. The conflict was stubborn and sanguinary on both sides, the enemy suf- fering immeasurably ; but Gen. ‘Taylor finding himself too hotly pressed on all sides, by a force greatly outnumbering his, retired before the en- emy in good order, and made good his retreat to Monterey, spiking six pieces of ordnance, and leaving at Saltillo some 30.000 rations, which had fallen into the enemy’s hands. The different engagements are said to have occupied the space of three days. ‘The enemy followed closely upon Gen. Taylor’s retreat, until be ar- rived at Monterey, where the battle was re- newed, our forces gaining a decided advantage over the enemy, forcing him precipitately to re- lire, when Gen. ‘Taylor, with a batterey of fly- _in the despatches which the Union is pub- | lishing, and in others that have been prin- ted throughout the country. and to believe The Government came to its decision ‘hat his march beyond Saltillo was not | executed under the order of the War De- _partment.

Gen. Taylor’s loss is said to be ria, with 8000 cavalry and an irregular force of rancheros, for the purpose of impeding rein- forcements and cutting off all communications entrenched GEN.

Jesus told them he had given every possible evi- dence of that truth by the manifestation of his God-like power. Hle also assures them that unbelievers are not his sheep ; in: consequence of which, they could not, nor would not, be partakers of his ever- lasting salvation. “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I told you before ; my sheep hear my voice and 1 know them, and they follow me and | give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.” The text is one of the ma- ny great and precious promises, which God has given to his believers in Christ, for assurance of his everlasting protec- tion and their ultimate and eternal salva- ‘ tiéns * Here we see the church of God fi- guratively represented as a flock of sheep. Now we know the sheep is very useful to man, and are at the same time very timid and inoffensive ; while in this helpless sit- uation they are surrounded by the most ferocious of savage beasts, and entirely | unable to contend with the least hope of success against their formidable foes. And besides, as sheep they are mortal, they are subject to death, not only from the farious atracks of the enemy, but by privation, by being exposed to severe wea- ther,and also from hanger and thirst.— Now the Saviour, in tiew of their deplor- able condition and defenceless situation, He, whose love is everlasting and whose tender mercies are overall his works with his infinite wisdom and Almighty power, es theirshepherd !

That leading from Ra- leigh west is understood to have been proposed and favored by the gentlemen from the western part of the State. When a County is laid off and a Court House built, roads are immediately opened from the outskirts of the County, giving to all its papula- lion free access to the seat of justice. As Ra- leigh is the seat of the Legislative, Executive | and Supreme Judicial authority, and the Trea- | sury and all the other public offices are there, | the people of the remote west may well claim it as an act of simple justice to themselves, that something should be done to facilitate their communications with the Capital ; especially as what might be done for théir benefit would | also accommodate the population of the country | along the whole line of the route.

Limestone wants the first two, but pos. sessing the two last, is used in many places, though it wears out pretty rapidly. Most gran- ite is unfit for this purpose. White flint, though hard enough, is brittle. fifteen miles on each c. the roads—on one, be- tween Raleigh and Pittsboro’, and on the other, between Raleigh and Chapel Hill—over which a stone Turnpike could not be made for one hundred thousand dollars. ‘This body of sand- stone has interspersed sparingly through it, a rock which is an excellent material fur a road : such as has recently been employed upon the low grounds of New Hope, at the expense of the.

An intelligent gentle- man in the western part of the State remarked to me that as things now are, he has less to do with the people on the northern side of the Al. bemarle Sound, than with those of some of the remotest regions of the globe. Trade will always increase with the increas- ing ease and freedom of communication, though the influence of an eastern and western turn- pike upon the amount of traffic would not pro- bably be very considerable. It is.in a direc- tion nearly at right angles to this, that the pro- duce of the central and western Counties finds | a market, and manufactured goods and the pro- | ductions of foreign countries are returned. People travelling the eastern and western road will generally wish to pass through the vil- lages and County seats; it is along lines lead- ing from town to town, that the coaveyance of the mail must be effected, and that short journeys on business will be made. If a good road were opened, which avoided the villages and passed over the intermediate ground, it would be very litte frequented. Such a road there might be leading from Chapel Hill, midway between Greensboro’ and Ashboro’, to Lexington—he- yond Salisbury the position of the two govd fords | of the Catawba, and a chain of mountains ex- | tending from the Blue Ridge eastward, between the Counties of Burke and Rutherford, compels us to keep either the upper or lower Stage route. attention shall be given to the routes over which , the mail stages now run. The first thing to be done, was to make out an accurate map or plot of the existing roads, | to ascertain their length, and whether they are | tolerably straight, and if not, on which side we | are to search, for the route combining in the | greatest possible degree the two qualities of di- | rectness and goodness of ground. The Iwo, routes were therefore surveyed with the chain | and compass from Raleigh to Asheville.

Str: In my last despatch, dated on the 7th | inst., I informed the department of the arri- val of jor General Scott at Anton Lizardo. | Most transports, with troops and the ma-— terial of the army, having arrived—about the | same time a speedy disembarkment was resolved upon, it being quite important that we should effect a landing before a norther should come on, as this would delay us two or three days. After | | | and myself in the steamer Petrita, the beach due west from Sacrificios, one of the points spoken of in my previous letters, was selected as the most suitable for the purpose. The an- chorage near this place being extremely con- tracted, it became necessary, in order to avoid crowding it with an undue number of vessels, to transfer most of the troops to the vessels of war for transportation to Sacrificios. Accor- dingly, on the morning of the 9th, at daylight all necessary preparations—such as launching and numbering the boats, detailing officers, Kc. | having been previously rade, this transfer was commenced. The frigates received on board between twenty-five and twenty-eight hundred men each, with their arms and accou- trements, and the sloops and smaller vessels numbers in proportion. This part of the move- ment was completed very auccessfully about 11 o'clock, a. m., and a few minutes thereafter the squadron under my command, accompanied by the commanding General, in the steamship Massachusetts, and such of the transports as had been selected for the purpose, got under way. The weather was very fine—indeed we could not have been more favored in this particu- lar than wewere. We hada fresh, and yet gen- tle breeze from the southeast, and a perfectly smooth sea. The passage to Sacrificios occu. | pied us between two and three hours. Each | ship came in and anchored without the slight. | est disorder or confusion, in the small space al. | | lotted to her—the harbor being still very much ! crowded, notwithstanding the number of trans. ports we had left behind. ‘The disembarkation commenced on the instant. While we were | transferring the troops from the ships to the | surf-boats, (sixty-five in number,) I directed the | steamers Spitfire and Vixen, and the five gun. | boats, to furm ina line parallel with and close | into the beach, to cover the landing. This or. | der was promptly executed, and these small | vessels, from the lightness of their draught, | were enabled to take position within good grape. | rage of the shore. As the boats severally re. ! ceived their complements of troops, they assem. had not yet been sent from Vera Cruz, | bled, in a line abreast, between the fleet and | the gun-boats; and when all were ready, they | pulled in, together, under the guidance ofa num. | ber of the officers of the squadron, who had been detailed for this purpose. Gen. Worth | commanded this, the first line of the army, and had the satisfaction of forming his command on the beach and neighboring heights just befure ' nesses, as a scene of magnificence, rarely witnessed more than once in a lifetime.— The troops landed amounted to the exact number of 12,100. After the landing, the different columns took up their line of march for the positions assigned to them in the important action | and siege of Vera Cruz. ° The steamers Vixen and Spitfire, lay- ing under Punta de Hornos, opened on the city across the point, and in the direction of the Castle, with shell and round shot, which was returned by the Castle, but without any effect.

Captain Alburtis was a Virginian, and formerly conducted anewspaper in Fredericksburg. Col. Dickinson was wounded in the breast by a musket shot. The skirmishing was however no check to the advancing column, which passed steadily forward to its position on the left and rear of the city, where it halted and commenced the work of entrenchment. The pipes used for the purpose of sup- plying the city with fresh water have been discovered and broken up, thus complete- ly cutting off the supply from the tanks, which are situated some distance from the city. During the advance upon the rear of the city, passed midshipman Rogers, who was bound on a cart and ordered to be conveyed, under a guard, to the prison at Perote, but fortunately, they were encoun- tered by our forces, and Mr. Rogers was rescued, and is now on board his ship.

During the engagement om the night, Santa Anna, seeing that Gen. T’s force was not well protected on the left flank, sent a lar, ; cavalry around that point, and, outflanking Tay- lor, succeeded in throwing 2,000 men into his rear. But Gen. T. immediately sent Capt. Bragg with his artillery, against this force, who suc- ceeded in cutting them off from the main body. Lieut. Crittenden was dispatched, with a flag this furce. ‘The Mexican officer, pretending | not to understand the character of his miggion, | insisted that he should be blindfold according to the rules of war, and thus had the Lieutenant carried into the camp of Santa Anna himself. This was a ruse to get time to Extricate the Mexican cavalry from their dangerous. posi- tion, and pending this truce they were all drawn off by a different road from that by which they had gained this position. Lieut. Crittenden was conducted blindfolded to the tent of the Mexicau General-in-Chief, which he found a Jong distance from the scene of action, and which he thought the safest place _he had been in during the whole day.

One of these pieces was an old Texan 6-pounder, which, du- | ring the ‘Texan revolution, had done good exe. | cution among the Mexican ranks.

All the officers on our side, in this hard- fought battle, distinguished themselves. The details of the battle were confided to General Wool, who nobly justified the confidence of his commander and brother-veteran, hy the most active, zealous, efficient, and gallant conduct. Throughout the whole action he was constant- ly engaged in the disposition of our forces, and in rallying them tothe onset.

From the New Orleans Picayune, March 27. THE KENTUCKY REGIMENT. An incident at the battle of Buena Vista. “Ata very critical point of the battle on the 22d, when it became necessary to sustain one of our columns, which was staggering under a charge made by the Mexicans in overwhelming numbers, Gen. Taylor despatched Mr. Crittenden to order Col. McKee, of the 2d Kentucky Regiment, to bring his men into immediate action. Mr. Crittenden found the regiment, men and officers, eager for the fray, delivered the order and rode back to the General, by whose side it was his duty to keep. The Kentuckians moved forward in gallant style, led by Mc- Kee and Clay, both of whom, alas! fell in a subsequent part of the day. It so happened that before reaching a position from which they could deliver an effective fire, | the regiment had to cross a valley which was broken up by. ravines and masses of stones. Whilst crossing this valley the heads only of the men could be seen from the point-which Gen. Taylor and Mr. Crittenden occupied —and these were bobbing up and down and crosswise in such confusion as to impress both with the idea that the regiment had fallen into disorder. The Mexicans were annoying them at the same moment by a fire, which | helped to confirm the opinion of the General that the Kentuckians were thrown into dismay. It was one of those decisive crises which occur in ev- ery contested field, when the issue of the day depended, for the time being, on the gallantry of a particular corps. Gen. Taylor, who, as before said, could only see the mand, ‘To which the Lieutenant replied that | @ message was to demand his [Santa | heads of the troops, and misled by their motions in get- ting across gullies and going around rocks and other ob- | structions into the belief that they were about to falter, When this extraordinary demand was transla. | turned to Mr. Crittenden, who is a Kentuckian, and with | a countenance indicating deep mortification, for the Gen- and presumption of such a message, and replied | that he would expect Gen. Taylor to surrender | | Lieut. Crittenden’s reply, which we have al. | —terminated the interview, and the battle re. | probably mere company markers, which were — | dropped on the field and picked up by the valiant phies, will no doubt be sorely disappointed in- the size, texture, and beauty of these standards. | eral is a Kentuckian too, and an eye fierce with emotion, exclaimed, “ Mr. Crittenden, this will not do—this is not | called upon to make good a battle—it will not answer, sir,’ and with this he clenched his teeth and knit his brow and set his teeth hard together. Mr. Crittenden, who was mistaken by the same indications that deceived the Gen’'l, could scarcely make a reply from very cha- | grin and shame. In a few moments, however, the Ken- | tuckians had crossed the uneven places, and were seen ascending the slope of the valley, shoulder to shoulder, | and with the firm and regular step of veterans of a hun- | dred fields. On they moved until they reached the crest | of the hill where they met the enemy before the flush of | a temporary advantage had subsided. Here they deliv- | ered their fire by companies with such regularity and | deadly aim that the decimated phalanx of Mexico gave | way and retreated precipitously. As the Kentuckians emerged from the valley, the countenance of the_old gen- eral, who was regarding them with the intensest interest, | gradually relaxed the bitterness of its expression. A | glow of pride supplanted the deep mortification which | fixed its muscles, and enthusiasm qualified the fierce glances of his eye. Forward they moved under his riv- eted gaze, whose feelings became more and more wrought up as they approached the scene of carnage. When they opened their fire the old general could no longer re- strain his admiration, but broke forth with a loud huzza. “ Huzza for old Kentuck,” he exclaimed, talking as it were to himself and rising in his saddle—‘“ That’s the way to do it,” and the tears of exultation rolled down his cheeks as he said it. Having got rid of this ebullition of State pride he went about looking after other parts of the field. ANECDOTES OF GEN. TAYLOR, &c. We copy from the Matamoros Flag of the 20th altimo, the following interesting items relative to the battle of Buena Vista : Prodigies of valor were performed by both officers and men. Gen. Wool was seen in every part of the field, where his presence was most requiréd, leading on and ex- —, the way for Kentuckians to behave themselves when. Lt. Col; H. Clay, son of: Henry Clay. While leading on his men to the. charge, he received a severe wound in | my’s] the leg. Not being able to stand, four of his men’ at- | missing. tempted to carry him from the field.‘ They had not pro- te be otdesed them to leave him, and resume their pla- ces in the fight. _Afier the battle, he was found pierced quite through the breast with a lance. Adjutant Gen'l Lincoln, son of Ex-Governor Lincoln, of Massachusetts, was killed while restoring order among the Aarkansas cavalry, who were thrown into momentary confusion by an overwhelming charge of lancers. His conduct is the theme of extravagant praise. * * * © * At the desperate attack on O’Bry- an’s battery, when the Indiana brigade wavered and tot- tered all along the line, from the force of overwhelming numbers, Maj. Dix, of the Paymaster’s department, snatched a flag-staff from the hands of its carrier, and rushed to the front of the brigade, and exhorted the men to stand firm. His presence reanimated them, and they redoubled their exertions. Col. Jeff.. Davis, the brave, chivalrous, and accomplished commander of the Miss- issippi rifles, was severely wounded—whether on the first. or second day of the fight, is not known. ‘They were thrown forward the first day as skirmishers, a most peril- ous duty, and suffered severely, losing 40 men in killed, and having 110 wounded—a loss, considering the weak- ness of the regiment, not over 400 in number, almost un- paralleled. The Lt. Colonel of this Regiment, from a wound received at Monterey, is yet quivering on the verge of the grave, having been the first to mount the walls at the castellated fort at that battle, and now his chief in command is struck down, and his life vibrates in the same uncertain fate. Truly may it be said of this Regiment, it has performed its duty well. ‘Thousands of the Mexicans after their defeat, fled to the mountains, and after the lapse of a few days, pre- sented themselves to Gen. Taylor as prisoners of war. He told them, in their own language, to ‘ vamos,’ that he would have nothing to do with them. Two thousand females, who followed the Mexican ar- my, remained, like ministering angels, to take care of the wounded. Gen. Taylor treated them with the kindness due to their sex, and the humanity expected of an Ameri- can. Blucher and Wellington-like, General's Wool and Taylor met after the retreat commenced. Gen. Wool rushed between his extended arms, and congratulated him upon the favorable results of the day's toil. Gen. Taylor playfully retorted : “ O, it’s impossible to whip us when we all pull together !” The battery commanded by Capt. Braxton Bragg did terrible execution. ‘The Mexican cavalry made a charge on him; he waited until they were within two hundred yards, when he poured a terrible fire on them, his pieces charged with murket balls. The leading squadrons were mowed down, and they stopped for a moment. Bragg’s guns were instantly loaded, and a second discharge, as deadly as the first, threw the enemy into confusion, and a third put them completely to flight, leaving the ground covered with men and horses. Only imagine for a mo- ment, a battery of cannon charged almost to the muzzle with musket balls and slugs, fired three times into a dense mass of men and horses, at a distance of two hundred yards, and you can form some idea of the terrible slaugh- ter! BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA. Through the kindness of a friend, says the Washing- ton Union, we have been furnished with the following extracts from a private letter written by Lieutenant Col- onel MansFi£.p, of the corps of engineers, to a brother officer in this city, giving a brief and hastily written de- scription of the battles of the 22d and 23d of February : EieuTeen Mires Sovutn oF SAttio, At Camp United States Army, Agua Nueva, March 1, 1847. Dear Captain: We are just recovering from the fa- tigues of a tremendous battle, fought by this little army on the 22d and 23d February at Buena Vista, a place about eleven miles in our rear and seven miles this side of Saltillo. We had previously been on this very ground from the 6th to the 20th February, reconnoitering the positions, roads, &c., and ascertaining where the enemy was, and his numbers. We found Santa Anna was at Encarna- cion, thirty miles in our advance, with twenty thousand troops of infantry and artillery, and that on our left was General Minon, at Ediorda, say twenty-five miles off, | with three thousand cavalry and lancers. On the 21st, at noon, we broke up our camp, and -fell back to a good position at Buena Vista, to await the en- emy. On the 22d he came in sight—his advance a heavy body of lancers and cavalry, followed by large bodies of infantry, and about eighteen pieces of artillery. A skir- mish commenced in the afternoon, and the enemy gained the mountain side on our left. On our right of the road were impassable gullies, deep and perpendicular, extend- ing across to the mountains, say one mile. On our left of the road commenced steep ascents to the tops of the spurs of the mountain, which united and formed a beauti- ful table-land for a battle-ground, say one mile east and west by half a mile north and south. There were other spurs on the same side, stretching along the road north and south of us, with deep gullies between, many of them impassable, but none forming a table land like this. A ditch and parapet were immediately thrown across the road, and Washington’s battery placed there, support- ed by two companies of volunteers behind another para- pet. On the morning of the 23d the enemy made a rush with his infantry and lancers to possess the table-land, the key to the whole position ; and at the same time a column of infantry and cavalry advanced on the ‘road towards Washington's battery. A terriblefight ensued. Our left was forced back to thé table-land, and rallied under the bank ; but our centre charged with a tremendous fire of horse artillery (eight pieces) and volunteers, and hurled them back-against the mountain and broke their centre, so that la ies of infantry saved themselves by mov- ing into ‘the Tavines and on the spurs of the mountains to the rear of our left where we sent regiments and artillery to fight them and drive them back across the same greund |° on our extreme-left over which they had been forced. If we had had bat one single full- regiment of regulars in re- serve we could have charged their battery on our extreme left and taken four or five thousand prisoners. Asit was, we could only hold our own against euch odds. At the close of the day they,made. another chaage and tal c a- , | ized. He is anid to have lost Jt in. said that Sante Anna ie infull retres .

We lost three pieces of cannon, which we had not the men to recover. Our men actually sunk to the ground from excessive exhaustion. It has ever been the misfortune of our brave old Gen- eral to be obliged to fight the enemy with inferior num- bers. But there is no backing out with him. This, his last battle, has done him' moré eredit than any of his Previous ones. His case was fot near 80 desperate at Palo Alto, for there he had the best of regular infantry. I had almost forgotten to speak of our corps. We: endeavored to do our duty. Lieut. Benham behaved well, and was slightly wounded. As for myself, I was more fortunate than at Monterey, and escaped unhurt. The old General, however, was made ragged by the balls passing through his clothes. Yours, &c. JOS. K. MANSFIELD. From the U. States Philadelphia Gazette. GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR. Never did a man do more for himself ; mever were the machinations of enemies more con- founded, more promptly turned to favor the ob- Jects they were intended to defeat, than in the case of this distinguished citizen, and his illus. trious opponents. We read in the good book, that Joseph was sold into Egypt, in order that his growing popu. larity at home might not interfere with the views of others; and even in Egypt he was as- sailed by most formidable means. His own merits, however, brought him out of difficulties enabled him to triumph over home and foreign enemies, and made him the ruling man—the man whose power was exercised to govern and feed those who would have destroyed him. The public voice, the enthusiastic admira- tion of the people, seems to lead to the expect. ation that the civil, ststesman-like qualities of Taylor, are to be tried as openly, as have been his military talents ; and those who would have disapdointed the public voice, and bave crushed the hero of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey, will have, it is likely, to make room for the hero of Buena Vista. A beautiful pros. pect, a good prospect, indeed, of the PresrpEen.- cy, from the plains consecrated by his skill and valor, and the blood and life of the officers and men under his command. It appears now as if Zachary Taylor would be the candidate of the great Anti-Polk party for the Presidency ; if he enters upon that cam- paign, he must be triumphant, for TAYLOR NEVER SURRENDERS. Gen. Taytor.—The New Orleans Bee of the 24th ult. remarks— There seems to be no limit to the claims which Zachary Taylor is accumulating upou the gratitude and undying affection of the people. The stalwart old warrier, put him where you will, and with whatever force you please, he has a knack of meeting the foe, and thrashing him too. He appears to have adopted a motto, the language used by him just before the battle of Palo Alto: “ Should I meet the enemy, what- ever be his force, I shall fight him.” A battle and a victory are with him synonymous terms. If there was no such word as “ fail’”’ in the vo- cabulary of Ricnexrev, that of Old “Roven AND Reapy contains no such combination of letters as “defeat.” It seems, likewise, to be his peculiar and felicitous fortune always to have the hard fighting thrown on his wale: ba When sent back from Victoria to Monterey it was thought that old Zacn had played his part long and gloriously enough on the theatre of war, and that, cooped up in an impregnable stronghold, he would have little more active service to encounter. But no sooner is public attention diverted from the brave old man, and turned to Vera Cruz, than Santa Anna, by a bold coup de main, crosses a dreary desert, and appears with embattled legions near Saltillo, as if for the very purpose of making Taylor once more observed of all observers. If such was his intention he has fully succeeded. Let oth- ers combat as they may—let Vera Cruz suc. cumb, and San Juan de Ulloa fall, let the proud capital of Mexico itself be captured, Gen. Zach- ary Taylor will yet be looked upon as the hero of the war; Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey and Buena Vista, will still be conse- crated in the remembrance of the Republic as the fields of his glory; while his name and fame become familiar as household words upon the lips of millions who cherish:the honor and valor of the warrior as the priceless heritage of our country.

This statement wast we learn from the Cambridge d at a special meeting of the Amel cademy of Arts on Tuesday év@i is to this purport ; « He announced as a result of his culation upon the observations made 6 Sears C.

An intelligent correspondent of the N. Orleans Bulletin thus speculates on the disastrous consequences to Santa Anna of his recent defeat at Buena Vista: “There has a crisis arrived in his fate and the affairs of Mexico; and in sixty days I think he will have lost his power and influence. That event will lead toa speedy termination of the war, for the reason that there is no other general a- round whom the heads of divisions and the leaders of the numerous military fac- tions in Mexico will attempt to rally.— Even now we hear of cabals, factions, and insubordination, which must impair, | if not destroy, his confidence in the offi- cers and men of his own army. A very short period will produce events and re- sults of a most decisive character. The moral effects, the alarm, the doubts and surprise produced by Gen. Taylor’s latest and most astounding victory over them will inspire the Mexicans with awe and apprehension, and their fears will accel- erate the fate which I think will soon o- | vertake Santa Anna and all of his armies. It is said that despair will make even cow- ards brave, but privation and suffering with Mexican soldiers produce only in- subordination and desertion. They fly from the camp to pillage and rob and feast at the ranches. Thus will they do with Santa Anna; they will abandon him in extremities, and leave him to our mercy, | and to philosophize upon the empty vani- | ty of unexecuted schemes of glory.” SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE.

This bridge is | associated with some of the most gallant | displays of Mexican courage and patriot- ‘ism. Here it was the brave Victoria, with _a small band of peasants, kept at bay ‘the | Spanish armies, and cut off the convoys of their treasures and provisions. ‘The | post is a strong one, and if defended with | skill and vigor, will give our army much trouble. It is said that La Vega com- /mands the force at the Puerte Nacional, and is determined to justify, by some brill- iant deed, the high expectations excited by his manly bearing at Resaca de la Palma. But it will be vain. The impe- tus which our military strength and con- fidence have received from the previous success of our army, will bear it triumph- antly over all the obstacles of Mexican valor and fervor. This bridge passed, the road lies open, and unobstructed to-fhe lovely city of Jalapa.

But delighted as the scerie and its pleasures are, our army should not rest here longer than to refresh their tired bodies and repair the damage of the hard service on the sandhills of Vera Cruz, and of the march from the sea shore. A sum- mer encampment would be highly detri- mental to the morale of our army. The hardy natures and rough habits of our soldiers would run riot in the luxurious |abandance of Jalapa. Onward, onward, must be the ery. Continual activity is A Horse Story.—A writer in the “Buffalo | the true secret of military discipline. Sol- Courier,” tells the following anecdote of a horse. | ‘The incident occurred in a town adjoining that | City: “A butcher, my neighbor, recently went to a pasture, where the family horse was usually turned, when idle, to get a calf which he had purchased for slaughter. Finding difficulty in | otherwise catching him, he set a large bull dog upon the calf, which soon brought him to the ground, uttering most piteous cries. ‘The horse, which till now had seemingly paid no attention, aroused by the cries of distr2ss, no sooner per- ceived the perilous situation of his helplesscom- panion, than with his ears leered, jaws distend- ed, mane and tail erect, he hastened to his relief! .. ; « The aod Miinues his hold, despite the threatening aspect of the horsey when the no- ble fellow, fastening his teeth-upon the dog, with one toss threw him completely over the adjacent fence ; meanwhile, the butcher had approached sv near as to catch hold of the calf as he was rising, which the nee ee he turned upon his posterior artillery, throw his heels ivert time. stil nearer the butcher’s head, untit he was glad to relinquish his hold. With what & proud and exulting air he pranced aroand his liberated charge, with head and tail erect snorting defiance to all-oppressors. In fact before the butcher, (abl ho.would be one?) could secure his subject, he diers are always happier, and more obe- dient and docile under the excitement of |a march, than when in camp ander the dominion of idleness and ennui. There is no reason why our army should stop for any length of time at Jalapa. The sum- mer in this high region is mild and tem- perate, the road is level and beautiful. and the country through which it passes is fer- tile and productive. In ten days our army could march from Jalapa to the city of Mexico. Here, we think, the enemy would offer no resistance, the city not admitting of any effective defence against artillery. If the Mexicans were determined not to yield their Capital without -a blow would be struck before our army 2 within sight of the city. But with a fe of 20,000 strong, we do not apprehend any serious difficulty in taking the Capital.

Gentlemen—We arrived here on Saturday aflernuvon, but there is little news of interest stirring. ‘The report that Gen. Taylor had come down to Cerralvo with the flying artille- ry, May’s squadron of dragoons, and the Ken. | tucky cavalry, was correct. ‘The command under Col. Curtis, consisting of a portion of the Ohio regiment and six companies of the Virginia regiment, under command of Lieut. Col. Randolph, encountered the advance guard of Urrea a few miles beyond Cerralvo, and re- ported to Col. Curtis, who ordered the com. mand back to Cerralvo, encamped them in the plaza, and sent out a detachment of twenty men to bury the dead teamsters killed by Ur- rea some time before. ‘They were fired upon by the advance of Urrea. ‘The next morning they marched towards Marin and encounter] the advance guard of Gen. Taylor, who hear. ing that communication had been cut off from Monterey, had marched for Saltillo to the res. cue, as soon as the wounded at Buena Vista had been properly cared for. Urrea, finding himself between two fires, ramosed the rancho, and has not been heard of since. A portion of Bragy’s battery came down to this place, under command of Lieut. Shover, to recruit their horses, which were very much broken down by hard duty, and Gen. ‘Faylor, after is. suing orders; returned to Saltillo, via Monterey. The North Carolina troops now here are to return to a small rancho called the “ Rancho of Santa Anna,” (although not belonging to that worthy) about thirteen miles below here by land, on the Rio Grande, where a sub-depot for provisions is to be established, on account of an ugly bar in the river between that place and the San Juan, which will render it dificult of navigation during the present low stage of water. The health of the city is good, but rain is very much needed. Here, as in Matamoros, there is not a family left in the place. None of the Mexicans here are permitted to pass the lines without a special pass in. ‘The remains of Lt. Botts, in charge of Messrs. Harrison and Whitney, of Richmond, Va., are to be remov- ed this afiernoon, and will probably arrive at the same time with this letter. Yours, truly, J. E. D.

Rafim Gonzales, who fell a victim to his bravery—he receiviy a wound of which he died in a few minutes. ; same time fell Lt. D. Augustus Quimana, and several men of both companies. While they were thus defend- ing the redoubt the cavalry which I had sent to its assist- ance fled,and dispersed completely, carrying confusion into the ranks of the infantry. In this critical situation I withdrew the artillery to an elevation in the vicinity, and succeeded in collecting 200 infantry, and there I main- tained myself until, without having the power to prevent it, | was completely abandoned, except by Cols. D. Fran- cisco Padilla and D. Capetan Justiniani, Capt. Salvado Santa Maria, of the artillery of the National Guard, and the veteran Lieut. D. Manuel Floressand Lieut. Col. D. Marias Conde, the commander of the artillery, who, with a few men of the artillery, maintained the fire for ne@rly half an hour. Under these disastrous circumstances, Col. D. Angel Trias, and the commander of a battallion, D. Vicente Sanchez, used the utmost efforts to reorganize the infantry, assisted by Cols. Padilla and Justiniani, whom I had sent for the same purpose, but it was in vain —they could not collect twenty men. ‘The rest fled to . : A i} the mountains, terrified, following the example of the cavalry, of which only the first squadron of Durango made any resistance—their commander, Don Manuel Aponte, having ordered them to dismount in order to ex- tricate them from the confusion in which they were in- volved. Abandoned even by their men, the officers of artillery already mentioned were forced to retire ex- tremely mortified because I saw them. Having lost all hope of regaining the day, I was obliged to retreat, with bitter grief, as all in the camp remained in the possession of the enemy, nothing being saved except eight rounds of ammunition which a servant of Col. Padilla hid in the mountains. In my retreat I endeavored to collect some infantry to lead them to Chihuahua, but all my efforts were useless. On account of the complete dispersion it is impossible to give an exact detail of the number of killed and woun- ded, but I can assure yoar Excellency that they cannot be less than 80 to 100, nearly all of the 7th infantry, and the two squadrons of Durango, among whom we have to | mourn Capt. Cazadores, D. Rafael Rosalez, Lieut. D. Ramon Mesa, and Lieut. Don Augustin Quitana, who were killed ; and among the wounded Capt. of the 7th in- fantry, D. Gaudaloupe Montoya, Ensign of the company ' of Guayaquilla, D. de Fontana, and Sergeant of the Na- tional Guard, D. Eugenio Cordero. The preceding came | under my own observation. : The disasters of this battle, which have not correspon- ded with my anxious wishes and exertions, nor with the great sacrifices of Col. D. Angel Trias and nearly all the citizens of the State of Chihuahua, are owing to the great- er part of my force being raw recruits, to its being the first | time of their meeting an enemy, and to the inexperience of most of the officers, who, deficient in that military en- | ergy so necessary in such emergencies, could not control ' their men in the moment of danger, and such is generally the case when a hastily collected, mass of men have no regular troops to support them, which I have exposed to your Excellency inany a time when I applied for reinforce- | ments. ‘These unfortunately were not sent, in spite of | the repeated orders of your excellency, and the comman- der in chief to the commander at Zacatecas, for reasons unknown to me, but which placed me under the necessi- "| sity of undertaking a desperate defence, the result of which has been most deplorable, but which cou!d not be | avoided with honor, as it was better to make one desper- | ate effort than to let the enemy. take quiet possession of | the State. | to from the ¢ never | try: This of itself should restrain the ar- eye... ur fruit trees have dropped “> promise of -another fruit though Capt. ie ) close hug:ont.or two nights last wag) “These-are some of the indicaiys | Spring with.ug,thongh not all. jy -| soms. in @.great measure, leaving Falla, ture else appeared. .

If the Whig Party propose to take him up asa candidate, we suggest that they wait until the war is over, or Gen. Taylor retires from the army.

Its location is healthful and sufficiently elevated to give it a command. ing and imposing appearance. The object of this short notice is not, how- ever, so much to describe the village as to com. mend the public spirit and enterprize exhibited hy its citizens. The improvements have been m@ keeping with the character and intelligence people. A few years ago when the wri- 8 passing through the town, it did not sent a very remarkable or attractive appear- Since that time the beautiful church has been erected, by the pious liberality of the inhabitants. I was forcibly struck with the vast improvement which the members of the church, especially the females, have made in the science of music. Nothing in my opinion so much resembles the lovely exercise of the _angels in Heaven as the music of cultivated |voices. When a certain blind girl was asked to what her lover could most fitly be compared, | she instantly replied, he is like Music. Such is lhe fact. Music is the expression of deep feeling. And when employed in the service of | God it should not only be of the finest charac- | ter but should proceed from hearts warmed by _ devotion, burning with holy love. So my friends _ of the choir, [ would say then, go on: cultivate that science whose object it is to calm the ruf- fled breast, sooth passion and fitly prepare for _ engaging in the more intimate service of prayer ‘to God. Let no difficulties overcome you, no | obstacles hinder, no dangers intimidate. With the aid of the excellent organ, or even without it, the choir of Greensborough equal every rea- | sonable desire, and excel, no doubt, even their /own expectation. | Of the minister it is not my custom to speak. | It seems to me that were people to criticise less _and digest the sermons which their ministers | ‘deliver, they would advance more rapidly in knowledge and in the grace of the Gospel. | would not be improper, however, to remark that | the importance of cultivating early piety was en- | forced with clearness and cogency of argument : so that, Tam persuaded, not one of the youth addressed left the house without being satisfied that it was his or her duty to serve God with a perfect heart and a willing mind. I could clear- _ly discern a striking similarity in the Minister’s ' presentation of truth and argument to one of | the most chaste, eloquent and popular speakers |of his day. I allude to Prof. Dod, of Princeton, | New Jersey. Another evidence of the increasing enterprize of the citizens is the interest which they lately felt and handsomely expressed in the distress- | ing condition of the sons of Erin. The contri- | bution, I am told, was four hundred dollars.

Ned had scaled the picket fence which surrounded the garden, and seating himself upon a rude bench in a rus- tic arbour, overgrown with the gaudy morning glory, the fragrant sweet pea, and the wild creeping clematis, was the vigilance he doomed to be kept long in suspense, for just as the fin- ger upon the dial indicated the hour of midnight, the maiden, robed in spotless white, with a light shaw] thrown loosely about her shoulders, issued from a house ; a light footstep was scarcely heard, and she was at his side— “ My own Edmund” and “ Dearest Fanny” they whis- | pered, and in a moment the lovers were locked in fond | embrace.

He then vowed ven- , geance against Ned, and had ever since the occurrence, been waiting for a fitting opportunity to deliver him in- ; to the hands of the tories. He had noticed the late vis- its of Fanny to the arbour, and readily divined the rea- | son. On this occasion he had followed her unseen, and | discovering Ned, returned at once to the house and gave | information to the tories, of whom a large number were | | then assembled. Their plans were soon formed, and they proceeded cautiously to surround the garden, and block up every | avenue to escape. The lovers, entranced in their blissful communion, un- | | | | | conscious of the impending danger, were suddenly star- | tled by the noise occasioned by the crackling of a dry branch, upon which one of the tories had trodden.

While she was yet kneeling, a shoi fired into the arbor by one of the tories arms of her lover, commending him with her latest breath | to the protection of Heaven.

The first one who opposed him, fell pierced by a ball from his unerring rifle, and in another instant it descended witha crushing force, dashing out the brains of another—then | throwing it aside, he drew his sabre, and flew to the spot | from which the fatal shot had been fired—at the same moment the sharp report of Harry’s rifle was heard, quickly followed by the death shriek of the negro Joe, and with his rifle clubbed, he rushed among them, at ev- ery sweep of his sinewy arm sending some base tory to his last account. The tories, in their haste to secure their foe, had not vided with swords ; but against such odds it was impos- sible for Ned and his companion long to contend. Ned fell first, bleeding from a dozen wounds, and Har- ry, having despatched the villain who had given Ned his death-wound, received a stroke which severed the jugu- negro, were killed upon the spot, and two others after- wards died of wounds received.

The opinion given by the late Dr. Woodhouse, Professor of Chem- ‘istry in the University of Pennsylvania, ‘in bis reply to Dr. Hall, would seem to /me much the more rational and _ philoso- sophical, viz: that they are basaltic.

It is supposed to have been establish- ed about the year 1560, shortly previous to the abandonment of the * Ciudad de Ja Antigua Vera Cruz,” situated on the river Antigua, by the Count Monterey, Viceroy of New Spain. It became the capital of the Department or In- tendency of Vera Cruz, which now forms the State of the same name, in the year 1600, and { was the sole commercial city of any importance while New Spain was a colony of Spain, and is the principal commercial city of the present Republic of Mexico. The population of the ed in 1804 to 16,000 souls, which, according to Don Ramon Garay, was reduced in 1831 to 6228, and which is now probably less than 5000. It is surrounded hy a stone wall of in- considerable height and thickness, which mea- sures in circumference 3124 Castilian varas, port 100 guns of different calibre. Of these Concepcion on the north, both facing the castle of San Juan de Ullua, are the strongest, and protect the ingress to the harbor. The city -has a tathedral, to which are attached two chapels called de la Pastora and del Horeto, and four convents—fur Franciscan, Dominican, Aogustin, and Mendicant friars. ‘There is like- wise the convent of Betlem, founded by Don Gaspa Suenz Rico, for purposes of education, which is, however, in a most dilapidated con- dition. It bas, moreover, three hospitals—one military, cealed San Carlos, one charity hospital 4 for males, San Sebastian ; and one for females, | The principal plaza, the south side of Loreto. which exhibits the cathedral, while the east is occupied by the Government House, which the | Mexicans dignify with the name of “ palace,” and is surrounded on the north and west by porticos—(portales.) The city is situated én an arid plain, in which the ‘*northers,” which blow with great violence from the month of October to the month of April of each year, form’the shifting sands into numegpus hillocks, varying from fifteen to forty feet in height, and which contribute, by the scope they afford for the refleetionof the sun, to render the climate intolerably hot during the summer months. In front of the city, at the distence of about 1100 Castilian varas, extends a coral reef, which has gradually elevated itself above the level of the oeean, and which was visited by Don Juan de Grijalva as early as the year 1518, and called by bim the island of Ullua. On this island the, Spaniards afterwards erected, at an expense of $40,000,000, the famous Castle of San Juan de Ullua,as a rampart against foreign ‘curiosity. ‘This celebrated fortress, whose bat- teries held at one tiipe 177 guns, of various calibre, has now been captured fur the fourth ‘time since its first construction. It was cap- ‘tured for the first time by surprise on the 14th | September, 1563, by the pirate Juan Aquinas Acle, who was, however, shortly expelled by +Don Francisco de Lujan, with the aid’ of a fleet composed of twenty-three vessels. ‘This happened when Don Martin Henriquez was viceroy of Mexico. The second capture, also made by a pirate named Lorencillo, occured in the night between the 17th and 18th of May, 1693, and was far more disastrous in its conse- quences.

Attending to the routine of his duties, he but prepared himself: for the more active service of his profession, when opportunity should offer. ES At the opening of the campaign in 1812, we find him a Captain in command of fort Harrison, a rude and weak stockade on the Wabash, with a small force not exceeding fifty men, most of whom were like himself, disabled by sickness from doing duty. In this state, a body of 400 British and Indians endeavoured to get possession of his defences by stratagem. In this they were foiled by his wariness and caution. They then on the 5th Sep- tember, 1812, aitacked him and made most strenuous efforts to carry his works, They succeeded in firing a block house, and thus opened a way for their assaults. In spite of this, his own sickness, and the in repulsing them with considerable loss, They abandoned the undertaking. For this gallant defence, Mr. Madison confer- red upon him the Brevet rank of Major— the first Brevet ever conferred in our Are my. In 1832 he commanded the regular troops in the Black Hawk war, and én- dured the hardships and privations of that most vexatious campaign. years after that he remained in command of Fort Crawford, at Prairie da Chien, (built by him.) and kept in awe the Indian tribes in that quarter. By them he was called * Big Chief.” For several} In 1836, as Colonel of the Ist Infantry, he went to Florida—relinquishing fur- lough (we think) to do so. composed of the Ist, 4th and 6th Infantry, _—some artillery. and the Missouri volun- teers. On the 25th day of December, 1837, Christmas Day, with the above named troops, amounting to about 500 men, he |attacked and defeated at Okee-cho-bee. seven hundred Indians under the com- mand of Sam Jones, Alligator, and Coa- choo-chee, The Indians were strongly posted in a dense hammock, perfectly con- cealed; and. confident of victory. The hanimock erossed in front and partially flanked on either side, the only approach to their. position. § This approach was per- feetly exposed, and led through a swamp ‘covered with saw-grass, in the mire of which oar men sunk to the knee at every step. Gen. Taylor (then Colonel) was then as now not to be deterred by difficul- ties and dangers. He attacked the ene- my in their position, and after a bloody and desperate engagement for three hours, succeeded in driving them before him with great slaughter, at the point of the bayonet. Some idea may be formed of the severity of the contest from the fact, that Gen. Taylor here lost Col. Thompson, Col. Gentry, Capt. Van Swearengen, Lts. Brooke and Carter, and 149 men—more than one-fourth his whole force. Major Noé@l, who was breveted tor his gallantry in this action, entered the swamp with a full company and had only seven men at the close of the battle. This was the se- verest battle, and the last one inthe Flor- ida war. Gen. Taylor, as is his custom, was every where in the thickest of the fight. For this action he received the brevet rank of Brigadier General, and the command in Florida, After four or five years hard service amongst the swamps and diseases of Florida, Gen. Taylor de- The descendants of sired to be recalled, and was assigned the - ased members of the family, with command of the Ist Military Department, composed of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala- bama, Arkansas, &c., with his headquar- | ters at Fort Jesup.

Pp } the readiness and ability with which he accepted and carried out the | h i, throughout the war, but in his march to Matamo- course whilst at Fort Brown. At the risk of his life, and that thing dearer than life, his reputation, he swerved not in the slightest degree from the spirit of the line of policy marked out for him by his gov- ernment. © Who would envy him his feel- ings whilst in the face of an enemy, who, he knew, could make all preparations and strike him or remain friendly, at their. own election; and at whatever time and_ under whatever circumstances best suited them, while he must lay quict and await the blow? Who can sufficiently praise him for his foresight, forbearance and en- dutanee, when, although his camp was almost In @ state of mutiny, he refrained from erushing, as he could easily have done, the small parties which first crossed | the Rio Grande? Had he done so. he woald have bad on his hands an endless, vexatious, guerilla war, and the glorious battles of the 8th and 9th would have ne- ver been fought. As much as Gen. Tay- lor deserves for those battles, (and who Will say he does not deserve greatly ?) he eserves ten-fold more for his conduct ‘prior to the time when they were fought. The former showed hima General of skill, coolness, gallantry—the latter proved him not only a soldier, but a man of energy and endurance, one who could not only act but watt, a man of strong mind capa- ble of extending military and_ political To follow Gen. Taylor’s course through the Mexican campaign from the 7th of May, 1816, to the present time would be «a work of supererogation. What man with American heart and feeling need be reminded of achievements which have done more to give us confidence in our- selves to raise us in the estimation of the world than anything which has occurred since the gallant actions during the war of 1812? Through city and village—uap- on hill and plain—trom the highest to the lowest, the name of Gen. Taylor has be- come a household word—his victories and his despatches the theme of every tongue. On the 8th and 9th of May, were fought the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la. Palina. Who has forgotten the anxiety which ‘pervaded the country, when the news arrived that our little army at Mat- -amoras was surrounded by three or four. times their number of the enemy, and their communications cut off! Some commen- ced cavilling at the capacity of the Gener- alin command. The many inquired anx- iously as to his character and capacities, | the very few (yet were some found) know- | ing the man and recollecting his services in time past. predicted that all would be done that skill and gallantry could effect. Even the most hopeful inquired, the num- ber of rations in his camp, and calculated | how long he could maintain Fort Brown, and when reinforcements could reach him. He however entertained no such ideas as these. Hedecided upon and performs a coup de main, which at once stamped him as a general, and which we are informed, is the same suggested by the Duke of Wellington in conversation, upon the ar- rival in England of the news of the posi- | tion of our forces.

He resumed his march and continued it until he reached the Resaca or de la Pal- ma. Ilere he found the enemy, who hav- ing been reinforced now amounted to 9900 _Men, advantageously posted in a position of their own selection, crossing the road | along which he must pass, having their’ front protected by the ravine and their flanks by the thick chapparal. He did not hesitate to attack them, and a most glorious and complete victory crowned his arms. The enemy were driven be- yond the Rio Grande and that night Gen. Taylor Slept in Fort Brown. The loss of )the Mexicans in these battles, amounting itis believed; in killed and wounded to two thousand men (though Gen. Taylor’s | modesty estimates the number less in his | Worth did gallantly—as gallantly as a| despatches,) proves that they fought well. | There were collected there the choice | Rank after rank was” troops of Mexico. mowed down, and replaced—the guns were again and again captured, retaken, and manned, and the victory was only complete when at least one seventh of the whole Mexican Army had been placed hors du combat. The limits of this sketch will not allow us to speak fully Gen. Tay- lor’s praises, nor to recount the thousand acts of gallantry displayed in these two days. The first mail which tended to relieve our anxieties brought us the news of the brilliant victories. The country was electrified, the world astonished, and , Gen. Taylor was at once and deservedly ranked amongst the great Captains of the world. His indifference to danger was attested by his being everywhere in the thickest of the fight, and the perfect cool- ness and calmness with which he survey- ed the field, and gave his orders; when desired by his staff, to retire froma posi- tion where the balls fell thick he replied, “Let us move a little nearer and they. will pass over our heads.” We cannot refrain from telling one anecdote illustra- tive of his tact. A large body of Mexi- can cavalry was about charging a weak battalion, which was thrown into square to repel it. It being imposible for Gen. Tay- lor in the then stage of the fight to detach any troops to its support, he himself, alone, rode amongst them saying—* Men. I place myself in your square.” The soldiers re- cognised their Gen., gave him a cheer, and receiving the enemy with a well directed fire. repulsed them with loss. For these batties Gen. Taylor received the Brevet rank of Major General, the thanks of Congress, and a gold medal com- memorative of the events. Thanks were voted him, and swords presented him by Louisiana and other States. He was subsequently appointed a full Major Gen- eral under the Supplement war bill. A few days after these battles Gen. Taylor crossed the Rio Grande, and took posses- sion of Matamoras. From that time to the early part of September he was en- gaged in receiving, organizing. disciplin- ing his reinforcements, principally volun- teers ; establishing depots—collecting pro- visions and munitions of war—procuring means of transporting his army into the interior of Mexico. ‘These duties always much more vexatious and laborious than fighting, and at the same time less appre- ciated. After making every effort in his power he found in the early part of September that he had early transpora- tion sufficient for the provisions, munitions, and material, for 6000 troops. With this number however he deiermined to move forward to Monterey, the capital city of the State of the Nuevo Leon. found admirably fortified as well by na- ture as by art, and defended by 10,000 troops, besides the armed inhabitants. The situation of this city rendered it defensi- ble. There were strong works upon the right and left of the town extending to the rear. In the city there is the Black Fort, -—almost impregnable when properly man- | ned. Besides all this their streets were barricaded, and every house constituted a fortress, being looped for musketry No- thing daunted, Gen. Tylor attacked this “Gibralter,” and after three days hard fighting compelled Gen. Ampudia the | commandantto capitulate.—That he should have succeeded against such odds, and un- der such disadvantages, is as he himself ingeniously remarks, “ one ot the unac- countable events of the age. knowledged to be an achievement more brilliant than the victories of the Palo Al- to and Resaca, and has been character- ised as. “an instance of daring and suc- cess which has This he; _takiug of Monterey. ‘the approaches from the Si few if any parallels in mo- | and which would enable bi ‘ained Gen.

T. to create on the morning of the 21st a diversion in the favor of Gen. Worth, who had on the 20th been ordered to take up the position contemplated as above described. On the “ Man pro- night of the 20th Gen. Worth having dis- | covered that the opposition offerred him _would be most formidable, wrote a note to Gen. Taylor urging him to make the _ diversion a strong one. In affecting this. on the morning of the 2Ist, Garland’s di- vision became involved. Tosave it, Gen. | Taylor found it would be necessary to move up the whole volunteer division. | On the instant he changed his entire pro. | conceived plan of operations, and déter- | mined to make the fiightthen. He order- | ed up all the troops with the exception of his reserve—pressed the enemy so in their fortifications as to force them to con- centrate their forces upon that part of the town—and thus left to Worth a atively easy task in accomplish Works intrusted to his division. par- g the This | man could do—but the Hero of Monterey | is the commanding General—he who planned the attack and ordered the details —he who where balls flew thickest, and death was rifest. bore the brunt of the | battle. The hard fighting at Monterey was on the left of town. The first shot fired at Monterey was from | one of the long culverins, aimed at Gen. Tay. | lor himself, whilst reconnoitering. It struck a short distant in front of him and bounded over his head. **’There! I knew it would fall short of me,” he camly remarked. One anecdote of Gen. ‘Taylor at Monterey, told by his staff, has never appeared in print. In traversing the field of battle, it was neces- sary to cross a bridge which was constantly | swept by the Mexican artillery. When approach. | ing it, it was agreed that they (the General | and his staff) should cross it singly at a gallop. | Four had crossed thus, when it came to be the General’s turn. Just as he reached the mid. le of the bridge, and when the balls were showering around him, something going wrong in another part of the field attracted his atten- tion. Stopping his horse, (much to the discom. | fiture of those’ following him,) he deliberately | took out and arranged his spy-glass, satisfied himself, and then closeing it, rode on. Iu the streets of the town, where there was nota foot of ground which was not riddled by balls, he was seen, walking deliberately to and fro, directing his men in their attacks upon the barricades and houses. : Any eulogium we could pass on the storm. ing of Monterey, would fall far short of the re- ality. Barely to state the facts, as we have hastily and imperfectly done, causes it to sound like rumance. Yet was it real—a reality, al- most too real—as many a saddened heart and vacant seat round the firesides in our country, can testify. To follow Gen. Taylor from the capitulation at Monterey and do him justice is the most dif- ficult part of the duty we have undertaken.— Were it not that all who read this have sufh- cient information to eke out that in which we may be at loss, or sufficent enthusiasm in the subject tu excuse it, we would abandon the at- tempt. | | Gen. Taylor, from a deficiency in means of transportation, had been able to take with him to Monterey, so little provisions and so few mu- nitions of war, and his little army was so cut up in the bate and worn out by its fatigues, that, when the administration directed him to terminate the armistice which constituted one of the provisions of the capitluation, he was unable to move onward. To move up men and munitions,—to establish depots and extend properly his base of operations, —to dispose of his forces so as to secure the country which had fallen into his power with taking of Monterey, required time and labor.— The administration about this time concluded to change in some degree the plan of the cam. | paign, and for the first time asked Gen. Tay- lor’s views upon the subject. He gave them | fully, clearly and sufficiently—in a manner to challenge the admiration of the civilian as well | as the soldier.

That voice, still rich and musical as when | itcharmed a listening Senate and crowded gal- leries, has been recently heard to regret that age had so far enfeebled bis arm as to prevent its being raised inthis war against: Mexico, ‘to avenge the wrongs of his country.” Many have been the offerings that he has | laid upon the altar of his country —the last is that of his son. Parental influence might, pos. sibly, had it been lessons taught beneath the -roral shades of Ashland. Col. Clay inherited aspirit eaver for his country’s service, and worthy his illustrous sire. He was among the | first of the gallant band that went forth from the | great valley, to obey their country’s call, and | i was alas! among the first to seal bis patriotism with his life’s blood. Green be the turf over the graves of the fallen heroes of that: well fonght field, and long be their memories cher- ished by a grateful people.

No paper was | more uncrupulous in its abuse of Henry. Clay in the last Presidential election than this same Augusta Constitutionalist which now strains itself in extravagant pane- | gyrics.

By gallant and glorious a- sements, has the young officer, whose | # heads this communication, appeal. | ne pride to glory in his. fame’ and to her maternal affection to sup- port and elevate it. In the late impor- tant battle of Buena Vista, his was a most important and responsible position, and | according to the report of his Major Gen. | eral, it was filled by him with © conspi- cuous skill and bravery.” | Early on the morning of the 23d he was, | detached with Lieut. O’Brien, with 3 pie- | ces, to counteract the effect of a 12-poun- | der which commanded the American posi- tion, the fire from which was soon effec- tually silenced by a few shells skilfally planted in the midst of the enemy’s gun- ners, under the direction of Lieut. Bryan. It was his 3 pieces that had every horse | and man killed or wounded around, and. it was he that the Indiana Regiment in- gloriously deserted. The enemy had advanced within grape range, and were sweeping every thing before them, when he came upon the detachments of Lieut. O’Brien and Bryan, where his progress “& er maternal fies | Was arrested, and before the showers of | Iron hail, which assailed him, squadrons of battallions fell like leaves in the blasts of Autumn.

It is said of him, in conjunc- tion with others, that he rose with the crisis,and proved himself worthy of an| alliance with the most distinguished and | brave. Where the battle raged fiercest, the storm wildest, and the peril most im- minent, he stood firmly and heroically to his post, and worked such carnage in the ranks of the enemy,as to make his col- | umns rollto and fro like skiffs upon the billows, Is there no meed due to valor?

He was one of the most popular officers in the army, from his high toned, gentlemanly charac- ter. battles, are the theme of universal praise. After being wounded, Col.

It may be rein- forced to-day, if unexpectedly attacked in force, by regiments—one or two—taken from Shield’s brigade of volunteers. If not, the two volun- tecr regiments will march for that purpose at day-light to-morrow morning, under Brig. Gen. Shields, who will report to Biig. Gen. Twiggs on getting up with him, or the General-in- Chief, if he be in advance. The first division of regulars (Worth’s) will follow the movement against the enemy’s left at sunrise to-morrow morning. As already arranged, Brigadier Gen. Pillow’s brigade will march at 6 o’clock to-morrow about the route he has carefully reconnoitered, and stand ready as soon as he hears the report of arms on our right, or sooner ifcircumstances should favor him, to pierce the enemy’s line of batteries at such point—the nearer the river the better—as he may select. Once in the rear of that line, he will turn to the right or left or both, and attack the batteries in reverse, or if abandoned, he will pursue the enemy with vigor until further orders. Wall’s field battery and the cavalry will be held in reserve on the National Road, a little out of view and range of the enemy’s batteries. They will take up that position at 9 o’clock in the morning. ‘The enemy’s batteries being carried or a. bandoned, all our divisions and corps will pur. sue with vigor.

Consequently, the body of the army will not return to this encampment ; but ‘be followed to-morrow afiernoon, or early the next morning, the baggage trains of the sever- al corps. For this purpose, the feebler officers and men of each corps will be left to guard its camp and effects, and to load up the latter in | the wagons of the corps. A commander of the present encampment will be designated in the course of this day. As soon as it shall be known that the ene- my’s works have been carried, or that the gen- eral pursuit has been commenced, one wagon for each regiment and one for the cavalry will follow the movement to receive, under the di- rections of medical officers, the wounded and disabled, who will be brought back to this place for treatment in genera! hospital. dated April 4, which gives an account of the murder of 24 Mexicans. by a party of 20 A- mericans, in the night. ‘The murdered men were first made prisoners, and afterwards shot through their heads. The persons guilty of this scandalous cruelty have not been detected. About 200 Ohio Militia were encamped within 5 miles of the scene of murder on the night it was committed. Gen. 'Taylar is determined to have every man hung on whom this murder can be proved. A case or Kipnaprinc.—A tew weeks ago there came to Smithville, in Bruns- wick county, from Moore county, three white men, whose names are Alex. Mc- Leod, Joseph Crawley. and Craw- ley, bringing with them a free, bright mu- latto woinan, named Katy Chavers, and her three children, the oldest not being over five years of age. The woman was brought there, as she said, for the preten- ded purpose of keeping house for the men. Shortly after their arrival], the men man- aged to get the woman drunk, and whilst she was in that state, they took the three children and pat off with them for Charles- ton, on board one of the Steamers. At Charleston they were arrested, having re- mained there until the Steamer hence of | the next day carried on the intelligence of their villainy. They got clear from the arrest, however, (in what way we never understood,) when Joseph Crawley took the children and went on by the way o the Rail Road to Augusta. Arriving there, he was confronted with a hand-bill of par- ticulars which had been dispatched South by a gentleman of Smithville immediate- ly upon the men’s leaving there with the children. He was placed in jail at Au- gusta, and now awaits the requisition of the Governor of this State, which will be _made doubtless as soon as the Grand Ju- ry of Brunswick sball return a bill of in- dictment.-There will be no Court in Bruns- wick until the first Monday inJune. The , woman was sent from Smithville to Au- gusta, to rejoin her children, who had _ been kindly taken care of: there.— Wi. | Chronicle. todited lor.

The Washington Correspondent of the | is arnal of Commerce writes to that pa- ‘ rip terms which, c cagh what channe i not fail, in the absence of any other # nation on the subject, to excite in nd great uneasiness, if not alarm, he present prospects of the war. From at correspondent's letter of May 5, we ract the following : te is now a rare chance for our y to rise in mass to meet, In a War pj internecionem, the masses of the Az- The Administration has no hope Pe carrying on a prolonged war, and or of races. Itis already advertised the Administration paper that such 4 be and will be the character of the hereafter—if Mexico now refuse ace on our lerms. ‘« Ail the volunteers—withont the ex- jon of @ company or a platoon—will eve the army at the end of their term of snice. It Would not be surprising even same of the commanders should become gsted with the service, and refuse to out any instructions which may be a war with humanity and common sense.” What is the particular fact or facts, if here be any, Upon which the very grave pypothesis in the last sentence of this ex- byect is founded, we are not apprized.— pt we are enabled, from information oor own possession, in addition to that oatained in the subjoined Letter from a jergyman now with Army, to confirm SS, pivall he fact of the probably certain return home of all the Volunteers immediately ypon the successive expirations of their yerms of service. Great apprehension is expressed by private letters from New Orleans and elsewhere near the army (not from officers or privates of the army or persons connected with it) that it will be @ficult to supply the place of the regi- nts to be thus disbanded. Says one Hatter: “The army proper cannot be re- emited to its full compliment; and the day of volunteering is rapidly coming to lg end: itis no longer considered a fine womer’s frolic through a garden of Eden, wih gold and silver images all along the mad, and the golden * Halls of Montezu- ma in the distance: it has come down to ber realities—to rough roads and nar- rowdefiles; the knife and the lasso; ba- em and corn bread: pebble stones or drifting sands for a bed, and the sky fora yo, with hard knocks, and plenty of them.” Another Letter speaks of the movement if the Army towards the city of Mexico, “Idread the result to our army of an vance on the capital, even notwithstan- the recent Victory. I do not mean loany actual open resistance; for in fighting we shall drive them before us: the certain effect of the constant wear Utear, from disease, buttle, guerrillas, dships, and exposure, which the army 8 toencounter: so that, it Santa Anna ew the best policy, it would be to let us ance without opposition, to and into Me capital, and let the army waste away » as the best-informed men say it wuld do, like a ball of snow in July, Muilst the Mexicans confined their opera- is to cutting off or harassing convoys, ling our supplies, picking up strag- , and obliging us to keep compact in large bodies, without the ability to mad out even a foraging party. ibe city of Mexico, we could not keep tthe communications with Vera Cruz, receive supplies or reinforcements, ex- by large detachments which could their way ; and if posts are garri- ed at intervais on the route, they must be with a force that can resist a hea- M attack, or they would be carried in de- th Inthe march that Gen.

At however, it is, | believe, under- ithat he will not go beyond Jalapa.” | Another Letter that we have seen (from Orleans) gives the following infor- m1 of the proposed movement by Ge- 7 Taylor’s:command across the desert 20 Luis Potosi : tral Taylor is determined (though met-to the plan) to advance from his = position.

Supposing that Mexico, in ber infatua- tion and weakness, still persists in her refusal to make peace on our terms, would it be sound policy in us to continue the war?

It is a fact, that the oDject of this mea- sure was notoriously to enable the Presi- dent to place Col. Benton over the heads of Taylor and Scott. It wasdefeated by the Whigs of the Senate, aided by a few Sou- ) } eegrn Democrats. ~Finally—it is a fact, that notwithstand- ing this treatment of Gen. Taylor by the Administration, and their unworthy at- tempt to check his career of glory and the headway he was making in the admira- tion and affections of his countrymen, he has, by the unparalleled victory of Buena Vista, achieved under the most difficult and adverse circumstances, filled to the brim the measure of his glory, endeared put himself in a position to be able to “ mousing politicians” at Washington. TWO TUNES FROM THE ORGAN. It was said of Marshal Soult, that he was like a drum, never heard of until he was beaten, and the same remark may with equal justice be applied to the vet- eran organ-grinder, who makes the music to which they dance at the White House, “The soldiers and officers of the volunteer and regular army, victorious against fearful odds in so many bard-fought battles, are, without an exception, advocates for peace.

Col. Cumming.— When it was first announ- _ced, that this gentleman declined the office of Major General, to which he had been appoint. -ed by the President, it was said, that he did so | for reasons which, when made public, would be found to do him great honor. We sce it stated that he declined on the ground, that an appoint- ;ment from Civil life to such a high Military rank, was an outrage upon the officers of the Army, which he could not be instrumental in ‘inflicting. What a contrast this, to the con- ‘duct of Col. Benton, and what a rebuke to the President ! Monterey.—There is one incident connected with the history of Monterey, in Nueva Leon, which is not generally known, ‘The streets of that city were paved by American prisoners, | taken by the forces of General Arredonno from Mina’s unfortunate expedition of 1816, and ce- mented with blood. ‘These men, who had no. bly periled their lives to obtain the indepen- dence of Mexico, were taken prisoners, and af- ter being kept at hard labor on the streets of Monterey for months, were taken out and base- ly shot by order of the government, There was but one survivor, aad he is now proprietor | of the Matamoros “Revelie.” Church Extensions.—-The Watchman and- Observer says: “We learn that seven thou- t-sand dollars and a lot have have been sub- _ scribed for the Church about to be established in Charleston, South Carolina, for the Rev. Mr. Porter; and that one thousand five hundred dol- lars have also been subscribed towards the es- ‘tablishment of an African Church, to be under ‘the care of Rev. J. B. Adger. ‘These enter- prises will depend mainly upon the 2d Presby- terian Church of that city. The same church | gave, a week or two since, $320 for the col- porteur effort. ‘These are among the fruits of the revival which they have recently enjoyed.” | { Judge Potter opened the Spring term of the United States District Court for the District of | Cape Fear in this town on Monday. ‘There _ was no business of consequence on the docket, and the Court was adjourned the same day.

Scott's Orders.—The spirit of Lundy’s | Lane, of Bridgewater, and of Queenstown, per- vades the General Orders of the gallant Scott _issued the day before the battle of * Corro Gor- do.” ‘Yhe calm determination, heroic resolve, firm purpose, and judicious foresight displayed in this document, must excite the warmest ap- Plause and highest admiration of every Ameri- can. In Scott’s yocabulation there is no such word as “fail.” He never permits a doubt to crosgthe high purpose he hasin view. ‘There is M@ooking back—no return. “ The enemy’s whole line of entrenchments and batteries will be attacked in front. and at the same time turn- ed.” And then he is not satisfied with a bare victory. He will not stop his onward course, and quietly repose on his Ifurels until he is re- inforced; but he pushes on, not even resting from the fatigues and wounds of battle, nor a- waiting the slow approach of baggage wagons ; but, with the determination to reap the benefit as well as the honors of a victory, he pushes | forword his columns upon the heels of the fugi- live enemies, and stays not the pursuit until there is not one left to follow.

The pop- ulation is one of the worst in Mexico, and the most inimical to strangers; yet the dreadful defeat at Cerro Gordo has completely paralyzed | them. At the cily of Mexico, a few light breastworks have been thrown up, not only as you enter the place by the Vera Cruz road, but on the road leading to the Convent of our Lady Gaudaloupe ; but nothing like a régular system ot defences has been as yet undertaken. Not only the government but the citizens appear, with all their vauntings, to have become stupi- fied at the successiun of defeats which have be- fallen their country, and know not which way to turn nor what to do. Santa Anna has writ- ten tothe Government from QOrizaba, stating that he has 1500 men, and wants reinforce. ments andgmoney ; but his demands have been unheeded. ~~ At the city of Mexico, as well asin other places, the people appear to have lost much of their confidence in the ** Hero of Tam. -pico,” and many have openly accused him of cowardice at Cerro Gordo, as well as having Abe battle to the Americans.

When | time comes for the stockholders to dete mine this point, an enlightened self-int est will, no doubt, adopt that route whié shall appear most likely to be profitable There is to be a Convention on the ject’of this rail road at Winnsboro’,§ on the 24th instant. It is very desi that our county should be represé there.

They were armed with bows and arrows and lances, and four or five of them had rifles. The company were all armed with rifles. After this the :company? lost their track several times, and for two weeks before they arrived at the settlements lived en- tirely upon mule meat. Gerry heard a rumor that a party of Camanches. a short time before they met them, had stolen a large number of horses from Coffee’s sta- tion, on the Red River, and that in doing so two or three men were killed and sev- eral wounded.

They announced in the paper published at Chi- huahua that Gen. Wool was marching to the city with his whole army and was within one or two days’ march. These papers they took particular pains to bring to the notice of Col. Doniphan at El Paso, no doubt to lull him into a feeling of se- curity.

THE NEW TROOPS. The Washington Union says :—“In general, it may be reasonably estimated that there are now some 7,000 of the new levies on route for the seat of war, or to be en route in all the month of May—from 5,000 to 6000 of whom should reach their destination by the last of that month. It should be here stated, too, that several | officers of each company are left behind, for the purpose of filling up the several regiments to the maximum standard—100 privates to each company. Col. Tibbatts reports that, in this way, his regiment, the 16th infantry, may number 1,000 strong, at Point Isabel, by the 3lstof may. The Same may probably be ‘said of the 15th infantry. The strentgh of the ten new re- giments, say by the end of June, in Mexico and en route for the seat of war, may thus probably range from 8,000 to 10,000— certainly not tess than the former number, | countrymen. and possibly equal to the latter.” S24 — " 0) sponcence O} “.

The document is so inter- esting that we make from it as Copious extracts as our limits will admit. tt will attract, and deserves, attention that the main ground of the alarm of these acclesi- astics, is the apprehension that their churches are to be despoiled and profaned by the Amer- ican soldiery.—The suggestion will arise in ev- ery mind, that the memorable article of our Government paper, coolly proposing that the property of the Mexican churches should be se. questrated will unhappily be considered in Mex- ico an infallible proof that.spoustion ts our set. | tled design. It is true Cie Seutt's proclama. tion, and the Union’s tardy disclaimers, may have some effect in removing the impression ; but when Whigs are accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, let not this inflammatory proposition of the Union’s be forgotten :” ADDRESS-OF THE CLERGY OF SAN LUIS POTOSI VO THis PEOPLE, The Clergy of this State would not be a fit depository of the high and sublime power which has been placed in its hands, nor worthy of the glorious name of Mexicans, if it should behold the last sigh of our holy religion and our belov.- ed country, and remain in cold inditlerence, without raising Hs voice to arouse its compa. triots from that indolent apathy in which for more than a year they have been submerged ; and if it shouid not cause them to comprehend our present lamentable and disastrous situation, and to know and secure the means of our sal- vation. ‘Io do this, is our sole object. The Cabinet of Washington have determined to perpetrate, in the present age, a horrible crime—rare, indeed, in the annals of the whole world. Ambitious to extend their prosperity and temporal power, and to perpetuate their race to the last of coming generations, they have not hesitated to violate towards the gen. tl> society of Mexico the most sacred of human rights. in their wild delirium, they behold, with raving thirst, the epulence of eur tempi the riches of our church, the magnificence of our homesteads, the angelic beauty of our weak- er sex. the immense and inexhaustible treas- ures of our mountains, the fertility of our fields and the beantiful variety of our climate; and ever the implacable enemies of our race and origin, they have taken rapid steps to extin- cuish our name, and possess theinselves of all the precious gilts. * * What can we expect from these Vandals, vomited trom hell to scourge the nations, when we know that they worship no God but goid, and aspire to no happiness but the gratifications of their brutal passicns?) * * Yes, compa- triots! you have seen it: our religion, our coun- try, our liberty, our lives, our families, our prop- erty—nothing—nothing is respected: and if they spare even our existence, it is merely for the purpose of turning it to profit in the unhap- py condition of slavery. And iinally, they will endeavor, as we have already said, to blot our name. from,the cataisgne of nations. * - Fellow citizens of Potosi! Can your bold and valiant character behold without rage that the foot of a heretic adventur- er should defile your magnificent temples, de- stroy your venerated images, and trample even upon your Godygeentrowing your holy sacra. ments, and deprf¥ing the Christian soul of the sublime virtues and exalted enjoyments of the angels!) Will you permit that a covetous and barbarous stranger should outrage that God who has visited and consoled you in your in. firmities—who accompanies you inthe horrible transition trom lite to the enjoyment of enter. al beatitude?) Will you consent, brave Poto- sinos! to have the holy lives of your Redemption exterminated ? Finally, fellow-citizens, will you be insensible to the loss of religion, your tem- ples, and evento the sweet name of Christians 2 Yet all this will bappento you. Your farnilies will hunger after the bread of the Word, and the eternal consolations which the adorable re- ligion of Jesus can alone dispense, and there will be none who can furnish them.

By the acquisition of Florida we put an end, for many years, to the incursions of sev- eral powerful and warlike tribes of Indians in that Territory, adjacent to Alabama and Georgia, and we gave security to our commerce in the Gulf of Mexico, which before was infested by -pirates. We ac- quired a contiguous and commanding ter- V1 al + ritory, and we also obtained the Spanish title to Oregon. We yield our pretensions ‘to Texas—a doubtful title toa remote ter- ritory, ghout the size of Florida. Kemem- ber ‘t e Texas we yielded was not Mr. Benton declared that if we included the left bank of the Rio Grande in the treaty of annex- ation we should “ be guilty of an act of aggression upon Mexico, for all the conse- quences of which the United States would stand responsible.’ “Qur title to any part of Texas rested solely, on the cession by France to us of Louisiana, andit had always been disputed that Texas was part of Louisiana. We know that a‘part of Texas at least was settled by Spain, and. remained under its accept the Presidency, ifthe people chose to e- lect him. [he * Unien,” in publishing the let- ter, sneeringly says :— “The following letter bears marks of the ‘modesty’ which the ‘New Orleans Bulletin’ attributes to Gen. ‘Taylor. But we hazard the remark, that it might have been equally, if not | more modest, if ‘casting away all anibition,’ | ie had stood aside for the present, and firmly passed over the honors of an election to one of | | i the ‘eminent and deserving’ ettizens, whom he | considers better ‘qualified for so high and re- sponsible a station.” Whilst the gallant and distinguished general, however, removes ‘all the doubts (as the: Bulletin supposes) as his ac- ceptance of the nomination for the Presidency,’ we are free to siate, with ail respect, (his is not going far enongh. ‘The people ought to know —and a free people will never be satisfied with. out kuowing—how far his principles suit them.

Does he go for 0 thon a! bank—for a national sys- tem of internal improvements—a proteciive or a revenue tariff—the law of 1842, or of 1846? We have no idea that the old soidier affects | any mystery upon these questions. He will scarcely pursue the advice of his ‘committee of secrecy’ at Philadelphia. But let some friend call upon him for another letter, am@get the old general come out. "This is what the country have aright to ask; and wothing short of this requisition ought to satisfy an enlightened peo- ple, who value ‘ principles more than men.” Have patience, Father Ritchie. In due time, Gen. Taylor will come out. Bring him home ‘from the army, and you will soon find out who he is. At any rate, you seem shrewdly to sus- pect that he is a Whig of the Clay and Web- ster school.— New York Express.

Co- _lumbia was ready and anxious to contri- | bute her proportion, but he entreated the people ot Charleston to at least forbear doing injury to Columbia. She said, hands off. give us a fair chance; it was all she asked. Mr. Black then spoke at length upon the importance of developing the ‘resources of the State, and of the advan- tages which must result to Charleston, by the extension of rail roads throughout the State, and closed by saying he had done his duty, and he hoped and trusted that he had proved to the satisfaction of the | most sceptical that in regard to the Char- lotté road, what was the interest of Co- lumbia, was the interest of Charleston. Hon. E. G. Palmer, of Fairfield, was then introduced, and spoke for about thir- ty minutes with spirit and animation. He commenced by congratulating the citi- zens of Charleston on the signs of pros- perity every Where around them. He thought the proper spirit was once more awake among them, and he rejoiced to see it. In regard to the road to be built, he’ felt assured that if her citizens could be convinced that it would be to their bene- fit, they would not hesitate to engage in itatonce. He then adverted to the im- pression which had got abroad thatCharles- ton did not wish to connect with Colum- bia, and went into an argument fortified, as he said, by incontrovertible facts and } this city to | statements, to prove how uselessit wasto in attendance as a delegate upon the re- contend that the Camden route was the most practicable and the most advanta- geous to Charleston.

RAIL ROADS. | The Baltimore American of the 8th has an article speaking of the well-doing Rail- | roads South of Baltimore, gabich result it seems to attribute to the.influence of the good management of. the New England Railroads. Now, we are perfectly wil- management of t®ir railroads and other concerns, but we don’t approve of this | fashion the Southern press has got into| of gloryfying them at the expense of the South. We can tell the American that we have railroads in the South that were well managed—or bringing good dividends, the American's criterion of good management —before any of the New England rail- roads were made, and of course they did not owe their succgss to the influence of these roads. _Fof"example: our Peters- burg and Roanoke railroad commmenced paying dividends in 1834—better than a- ny of the Eastern roads are paying—and would have continued them if it had not been for the most unwise policy of our Legislature in chartering an opposition line. The American, in iis notice of the Southern roads, has omitted all mension of our road, although it isthe oldest, and has been the most productive in the South. We hope that paper will copy this article so that its readers may know what is’ done in other places in the South besides Rich- mong and Georgia. The Petersburg and Roanoke Railroad Co. have paid at least 75 per cent, in dividends since they com- | menced operations,besides rebuilding their road with new iron, (one fourth of. which is edge rails) and paying off a large debt, | all of which was done out of their profits. | Last year they paid 6 per cent. in dividends, | and an amount of their debt equal to 4 | per cent. more, and this year they will | do as much if not more, and extinguish their debt entirely. Can the American | point out any Eastern road which is doing | as much ? While we do not wish to disparage what | the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail- road (the notice of whose meeting in the Richmond papers no doubt gave occasion to the paragraph in the American) is do- ing, yet we must call attention tothe fact that the Petersburg and Roanoke road is doing better, for 6 per cent. dividends | and a steady reduction of debt to a large | amount is better, or will have more per- manent good effects than 7 per cent., and | any transient extra dividend and no reduc- | tion of debt by a company with the amount of the debt owed by that road. This is our | notion at least.—Petersburg Intelligen-— Cer. SUDDEN DEATH. We were started at the announcement which reached us in the Wheeling Times | of Friday. of the sudden death of the Rev.

The heat at Vera Cruz is intense. For ten days, says the Eagle of the 5th, the k thermometer has ranged from 87 to 92 ¢| Gen. Taylor singularly displayed this | ) s., Same unconsciousness of fear at Buena >. A large train was to leave Vera, Cruz on the morning of the 5th inst. for Puebla, | under the command of Col. M’Intosh. It | was to carry up a mail; the first, says the’ Eagle, for nearly a month, and about $300,000 in specie, in charge of Major. A. G. Bennett, paymaster. The train was to be escorted by a large force of soldiery, composed of company F of the 4th Infan- try; company B of the 5th Infantry, com-.- pany’G ofthe 7th Infantry, companies D, And K of the 3d Dragoohs—in tilbabout | men, | the Rmericans. ‘The report is, that of this number 4,000 are Pintos, or Indians of the South, under Gen. Alvarez. ‘They are called Pintos from the fact that afier they come to manhood their faces, from some cause or other which I have not heard explained, become spotted— yellow and red. They are of little account as soldiers, and it is probable that Valencia’s men, if he has the number given him by rumor, are nothing but raw recruits.
