I learned by one of his shipmates that G had become acquainted with Donna Anita on a former cruse, that a mutual love had arisen, been, confessed by both parties, and they were to be united at the close of the war. And this, oh God! this is war! These are the scenes which the pen of history must record of I men who live in the nineteenth contury, of the ex istence of that religion Which has peace, love, and charity for its mottoes and emblems. I know, reader, that this is a poor train of thought, and an inconsistent one for a soldier, but were you to see such scenes as these you would not wonder that I should almost be willing to exchange the sword and the uniform for the priest's gown and prayer book. .9 Soldier's last Letier.—There is much of sad and touching interest, as well as judicious counsel, in the following beautiful extract, published by the Alton Telegraph, from a letter written on the eve ‘ of the battle of Buena Vista, by Lieut. Fletcher, of the Illinois Volunteers, who fell on the next day in the glorious light Dear Colonrl To-moraow we expect to have an engagement with a superior Mexican forcp -and, on the eve of the affair 1 have believed it proper to address you a few lines. As you are well aware, the object nearest my heart is the vvelfarfrof my fifth child; and, so far as I have been able, I have provided for her. Should I fall, I leave her entirely with you and you wife: but. I have written to my brother, requesting him to throw his brotherly protection over her; and if, at any time, you think of sending her to him, he will: receive her as his own child, and protect her es such. Should she remain with you, I wish that she should receive as good an education as the little means lelt her will afford and, above all , things, teach her that truth and virtue are to wo. man what the soul is to the body—the life of its life. Teach her that to be just to all—in thought, in word, in deed—is the true, the great aim of a good mind; and those who strive to accomplish that purpose, seldom fail to live at peace with the world, and accomplish the Great Destiny' for I which they are created."

Taylor, above Nat. chez, was overflowed during the high water in the spring. When the water run off, cotton was plant. ed, and we are now happy to hear, says the Picay one of the 28th ult., that the crop promisei as well as any in the State. In this connection, the Picayune mentions that an intelligent gentleman just from Mississippi informs them that the crop so far this year promises everything that could be de ir ed. With no ill luck from this time out, it will be an abundant one. cry The following sentiment, from that eminent divine of a past generation, Paley, would be called "rank radicalism " at the present day It is a mistake to suppose that the rich man maintains his servants, tenants and laborers; the truth is, they maintain him. It is their industry which supplies his table, furnishes his wardrobe, builds his houses, adorns, his equipage, provides his aniuse ments. It is not his estate, but the labor employ ed upon it, that pays his lent. All that he does, is to distribute what others produce, which is, the least part of the business."

COMMISSION En—R. DONALDSON Ar Drron—EDWARD NCORK LE hypocrisy and Dissimulation. These words form the principal part of the heading of an article, (in a sheet published in this city, called the Chronicle,) that we are called upon to notice—not so much on account of any injurious effect which we anticipate is likely to result to the Post; but to place ourselves in a correct position on account of a charge of dereliction of duty, as the conductors of a Democratic press. That charge is that, while " the government organ " was re commending a seizure of the property of the Ro nan Catholic Church in Mexico, and "the united press of the, country " was arrayed against such a monstrous proposition, we were silent: and that we have lately assumed a very great deal of con ern for tits interests of the Catholic portion of our fellow•citizens. So far as it respects a üburst of indignation " on our part, at the article of the Washington Union, on the subject referred to, we are free to confess we were not ready to explode on the ap. pearance of that article; and we have "good and sufficient reasons" for not having done so . In the first place, we do not recognize any "Government organ," in this country, other than the Democrat- is press of the ‘ country in general. We place no other - reliance upon statements which appear in the Union, than its position at the seat of govern meuitentitles it to, in the relation of matters of fact; and whatever articles appear in its columns, illustrative of the great doctrines of the Democrat. ic party, we attach no more importance to, than we would attach to articles of equal merit from any other source. On the other hand, if there should appear at any time, in the columns of the Union an article, or articles, clearly opposed to the settled policY of the Democratic party, since the earliest period of its establishment, we would not look upon that fact as one any more astonishing, or as any more likely to exert a baneful influence upon tt.e Democratic cause, than if such articles were to appear in any other Democratic paper.— These are among the considerations which influ enced our course, immediately upon the appear. ance of the article in that paper in relation to a 'seizure of Church property in yexico. We were well assured that such a recommeudatiou was sot in accordance with the settled policy of our party; we were fully satisfied that such was not the sen timent of the President.; we were equally sure that such a proposition would not meet with the sanction of any respectable portion of the Demo cratic party; and we thought it would be only a waste of time, and a doubt of the intelligence of our readers, to combat such a proposition. We did not suppose that any party in the country would attempt to sanction such a proceeding All these were the considerations prompted to our silence. When. however, we found that the Fede ral party (who have been foremost in their atttempts tomake a distinction between our fellow citizens of other sects and the members of the Catholic Church) were striving to brand the proposition as an.erna• nation from the Chief Magistrate of our country, even after the editor of thd Union had most une quivocally disavowed any knowledge of the artiple, by any member of the cabinet,—then we felt it to be our duty to show up in their 'true colors these pretended friends of the Roman Catholics. to doing so we spoke of their acts as a party—not only in this city, but in every other place where they have the power. In our remarks on this subject, we have made no attack, direct or indirect, upon any of the piraticat craft of our country, which sail under any flag that their masters may think will bring to them selves a living—we have attacked only those whose flag was to be seen by all, and always of the earns "stripe." We cannot enter into a contest with such craft as those. They are liable only to the laws which are made against pirates; and are therefore only to be treated as such. The articles which we have written in defence of our Catholic fellow-citizens, have been dictated by a sense of what was due to them from the Dem ocratic press, one of the fundamental doctrines of whose party is, Libeity of the press, freedom of speech, and' freedom to worship God according , to the dictates of conscience." That our course has met their approval, we are fully persuaded. The course of every true Democrat is and must ever be the same; and we claim no merit, we ex pect no reward, but that of an approving con science, for having done our duty. That our course and our motives have both been assailed and con demned we but too well know ; but we are well aware that it has been on the one hand because of our devotion to duty; and on the other from con, sideratioos of envy and jealousy alone. We enjoy too generally the approving smiles of those who have been assailed—and whom we will ever de fend when thus assailed-tto regard the condemna tion of their foes, or the pitiful misrepresentations of those who would seek to gain their favor, but have not, and cannot secure, their conftlence. We act, in all our political efforts, independently of any authority but that of the Apostle of our Faith, (THOMAS Jerrzrtsos) ; and therefore look up to n.) living head, either at the City of Washington, New York, Philadelphia, or elsewhere on earth. The following named gentlemen compose the Democratic standing Committee of Butler County, viz: John H. Negley, L. Z. Mitchell, P. Kelly jr. Wtn, Balph, E. M. Bredin, Wm. Beatty, S. A.

Let them refuse to associate with the seducer and there will be no necessity for such a law. Villainous Murder.—A man, calling himself Har ris Bell, has been arrested at Honesdaie, Pa. charged with the murder of'Mrs. Williams, wife of Rev. Gershom Williams, of Scott township. Mrs. Williams left her, residence on Sunday morning, on foot and alone, to' attend a Sabbath school.

Duripg , theteriOd Captain John Tyler officiated as . l'reaideriffalhese United States, every whig and *hi° from John M. Botts doWn, vowed thefwaufd" head him or die." This was in con seivence of the Captain having committed the un pardonable sin of turning democrat I But now it seems the Captain is disposed to retaliate upon his persecutors. The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard re lates a story of Ex-President Tyler, which is gen erally credited as true, and is certainly truth-like. Some of Mr. Tyler's neighbors in - Virginia under took to " head " the Ex-President by electing him I to the office of road overseer, with the intention Of fining him, if he should refuse to attend to its du ties. The ex President turned the tables on them by going into the business of road making with such a will; levying contributions of workmen from the fields and plantations of the unlucky neighbors aforesaid—that before many days were gore they were fain to wait upon him in all hu mility and beg him to pause in his zeal, promising to excuse his omissions of duty. and finally beg ging him to resign his office. Mr. Tyler replied, " that offices were hard to obtain these times, and having no assurance that he should soon Obtain another, he could not think, under the circumstan ces, of resigning." The story adds that he kept the hands at work upon the road, widening, exca vating, filling, gravelling, and macadamizing for nearly two months, making one of the finest roads in the Union. For Telegreph News, see next page cO.lVe are glad to learn that our friend, Mr. Jamas K. KENNEDIr, has succeeded in procuring the celebrated Microscope made by that king of Opticians, Plcessel of Vienna, and imported into this country at an enormous expense. All the 4. Oxy-H y.l rogen Microscopes" which we have yet seen, have been imperfect, owing to the defective arrangements of either their jets or leases, and they were likewise dangerous, since there was no adequate protection against the flame communicating with the-Hydrogen reservoir. The accident which recently , happened at Washington College, as well as innumerable others, prove that the old mode is unsafe. In Mr. K 's apparatus, all danger is removed, and au explosion is scarcely within the bounds of possibility. The " Dissolving, Colors," the beauty of which cannot but afford pleasure to all, are, we observe, connected with this instrument. They are entirely new, as nothing of the kind has ever before been exhibited here; or, in tact, in any other city in the Union, with the exception of Philadelphia_ If Mr. K. would consent to give one or two ex hibitions before he leaves this place, we are sure , that he would afford the highest gratification to our citizens—very few of whom have ever had an opportunity of seeing even a common " Oxy-Hy drogen Microscope." Plcessel is known, in every European country, as the maker of the most celebrated instruments in the world, and his name alone is a sufficient 'guarantee for the excellence of his instrument. Silas Wrighi.—The Cleveland correspondent of the Ohio Statesman relates the following:—.l heard an anecdote about Silas Wright, which oc carted recently in our city, which I cannot resist telling. A young man who is a sailor, was being crammed as a witness in one of our magistrate's courts, and upon being asked by a lawyer where he lived, replied : " in Canton, St. Lawrence coun ' ty, New York.' Some one remarked, "What, in 'Canton, that is where Silas Wright resides, is it riot Yes-sir-ee," said the sailor, .and I know . him well ; the last time I saw him, he had a pick axe on his shoulder going to dig a ditch." "Per haps," said a Whig, who was present, "he was go ing to dig the grave of the loco locos" " More likely," responded the sailor, 'Ale was going to prepare for the interment of the whig party in '4B; for he would make a first rate sexton for them on • that occasion.' " You know Mr- Wright, then?" asked some one who was present. Yes, sir," again responded the sailor, " he's the man who, when be comes home from Congress, puts on his big stoga boots and tow troweess and goes out to work on !the roads with the boys. I Ye held scraper with him many a time, and a mighty good hand he is too. He takes hold of a scraper. or plough handle., or an axe, and makes every thing fly about, just as he does when he talks about the tariff and big I bank, and them other great political affairs. He's I a man all over, any way you can Lis him, and just the kind of chap that I like." Catholicism in the United States—But few are a ware how numerous in the United States is the Catholic population. From the statistics publish ed by order of the Arch-bishop of the United States, for 1847, we obtain the following facts: In the Diocese of Louisville, 30,000; of Cincin nati, 70,000; Detroit, 75,000; Vincennes. 27,000; I Dubuque, 6,500; Pittsburgh, 35,000; Little Rock, 700; Chicago, 50,000; Milwaukie, 30,000—Total, 321,200. Diocese of Baltimore, 90,000; of New York, 230,000; of Boston, 75,000i—Total, 390,000.. The general impression is that in the valley of the Mississippi are most of the Catholics in this country. But the above figures contradict that supposition. The east has 70,800 more than the West, independent of the diocese of Philadeli hie with 71 churches and 09 priests, and that of Hart- ford, with S churches, 13 other stations, and 9 priests, which if they could be added, would swell the eastern list very considerable. About one• third of the population of Boston are Catholics. Curious Fari.—A degree of latitude is equal to a degree of Fahrenheit, and 400 feet of elevation is the same. This fact, though curious, is of a de. monstrative character, and will go far in enabling us to ascertain facts in reference to climate. The Three Nutions.—A new York paper says "Business called us up yesterday in the vicinity o the Clinton street docks, where we noticed in do proximity to each other, the three superb steam ers, " Philadelphia," " Sarah Sands," and " Wash ington." The thought struck us that here was the most powerful nations of theearth ; and as soon as we saw the various fastenings of each vessel, so closely blended together that we could hardly dis tinguish them, we thought they formed an appro priate emblem of the friendship existing between the Powers alluded to." United States Branch Mint .—The coinage of the United States Branch Mint during the month of July amounts to the sum of $2 ; 000,000. The greater portion of this was in gold eagles, toge ther with a considerable quantity of quarter eagles and half dollars, The coinage of this immense quantity of money only occupied the, hands of the Mint about twenty working days. This is a rate of speed which could not be kept up in onlin ary times or throughout the year.—N. 0.De11c44 Mexican Privateers.—We find the following im portant notice in the Gibralter Chronicle. of the 23d June We have been shown the copy of an order issued by the Emperor of Morocco to his gover nors and agents, authorising the seizure and confis cation of all privateering vessels entering the ports of his-Empire, that are fitted out against the com merce of the United States of America. Letter from Havana.—By an arrival at New Fork, we have Havanna dates to the 29th ultimo. Accounts from Ponce, P. R., state that the inhabi tants are suffering dreadfully for the want of rain, and that . there would not bemire : than belle sugar crop next season. The crops of coffee,and other prodncts, are considered as entirely ruined. pjA white whale, perfectly milk-white, and a regular old fellow, was caught by some whalers lately arrived, when on the Offshore Ground.— The oldest fisherman does not remember ever see ing a white whale.

OFFICE OF THE POST, SerunnAr MORNING, Aug. 14, 1847.5 FLOUR—There was a decided improvement in the flour market yesterday, and the sales show an advance prices. ~Sales of 180 bbls. from second hands at $4,70 tP bbl ; 68 bbls. fresh ground from first hands, at $4,70 ; 76 bbls. in lots at rive; at $4,624,G6; 20 bbli. out of wagons at 04,63; several loads from wagon at $4,70. WHEAT—The market is quite firm; 00c. Q. bu. was yesterday offered ,for a lot of 800 bu., but the holder declined selling. OATS—There is an improvement in the price Oats; 23c. was offered yesterday for lots from the country, but the holders would not sell at that figure. Fcir a lot of 50 bu. 24c. was paid. POTATOES—SaIes of new potatoes yesterday from the Island at 45c. GROCERIES—No change. Sales at former quotati, ns PROVISIONS—SaIes moderate, but market re mains firm LOCAL M A TUBS. SOTS is ♦ SC 1111.E.—Tivo boys, brothers, from Hancock, Md., were yesterday =riling arrested by the Day Police, for stealing a watch from a man named Auld, of Brownsville. They stag ed that they had been working for Auld, in the brick yard, but the work was too hard, and they left; Auld refused to pay them and so they took the watch, which they found hanging in their bed room. They were sent back for trial before the Quarter Sessions of Fayette county. This is probably the first crime these boys have ever committed, and if their accouut is true—and it may be, for they told straight stories,—the pre sent offence is not very heinous; yet the laws will consign them to jail among practiced villains; and next to the Penitentiary, and they will be fully punished for the highest grade of offence, when they are again set loose. There appears to be some thing wrong in all this; but our public officers are not in the fault. We can only hope for relorm in this matter. t Mr. Wemyss, and his niece Miss Wemyss, are travelling together. It is to be hoped that they may call this way during their journeying. We have a great desire to see Bann, (for this was the sobriquet heaped upon the old Pittsburgh Manager) before be leaves the great stage entirely. As an actor he was once much esteemed in this city. He had a large circle of personal friendsand be had enemies too, as all Managers, except Gov Porter must necessarily have, for some came. But the censure always came from the Pit, so that it was not to very distressing. Miss Wemyss is said to be aline actress, and under the tuition of Mr. W. will no doubt become a " bright particular star: , They are now in Baltimore. Poxcroza.—The market place is now well filled with this article; so are our family groceries.— The prospect for an abundance next year is en couraging. We hear, however, that in some sec tions of the county, symptoms of the rot are appa rent, but our friAlls among the farmers, who have spoken to us on the subject, think that the crops will be safe, and the yield heavy. This will be gratifying, should it turn out that our informants ate not over sanguine. j Mr. Foster is making extensive preparations for the Concert cos Monday evening. The room will be in readiness ;—workmen have been busily engaged for weeks past; and a splendid place they have made of it. The Snoops' will be received by a large and fashionable audience. We understand that Mr. Foster is negotiating with some of the most celebrated musicians in the Union. We trust he may be successful in bring ing them all before the Pittsburgh people. Coor.o.ter es Fouttn.—The Mayor, a few days ago, received information of the larceny of a val- uable watch, in Philadelphia; the thief was sup. posed to be a German who left that city with Bing ham's line, for Pittsburgh. The officers were after him yesterday, having received information that he was in town, from some of his fellow. passers. gem; but no trace of him could be discovered. We presume he has naade•his escape. The Dispatch advocates the establishmen , of a workhouse in this county. That's right, Mr Foster 'per The rumors in regard to reduction of we ges in the Allegheny city Factories, turns out to be without foundation. pj It is Joseph Barker who has been prosecu ted by Fleck for riot. TROUBLE AMONG THE WATCIIMVSI.-.-PatriCk Quinn has been prosecuted by David Anderson, for false imprisonment. We understand that the charge against watch man Quinn, for striking a woman while making an arrest, has been referred to the Councils of the Police Committee. EAGLE SALOON.-Our friend Andrews is visited nightly by large audiences of our best citizens.— We are glad of it, for his establishment is deserv ing of encouragement.
