FROM THE RIO GRANDE The NEwOrleans Picayune puts us in possession of adVices,from the Rio Grande to the 3d instant, brought by the steamer Alaha ma. -There does not appear to be much news 'of interest from our Army. The Mexican •forces are .supposed to he concentrated in the vicinity of Montery, under the imme diate command of Gen. PAREDES. The American army appear to be on the point of taking up their march to penetrate as far as Montery. Correspondence of the N. 0. Picayune. • POINT limner., JULY 3, 1846. • I left Matamoias last evening and start ed from Gen. Smith's camp, on this side of the Rio Grande, at nine o'clock, with a volunteer-officer, to• ride across the 'prairie. Gen. Smith was to begin to remove his camp to-day some twelve or fifteen miles up the river, on the Mexican side. The 'musquitoes showed themselves in numbers for the first time at headquarters last -eve ning. The volunteer camp was perfectly - shrouded by smoke, raised by the- men to keep off the intruders. That a large part of the army will move towards Montery can no longer be doubt ed, as boats enough of light draught have arrived to warrant -Gen. Taylor in taking possession of the country between the month of the river and that place. The road we came over last night—l mean the wagon road between Point Isa bel and Matamoras—is still impassable for loaded wagons, and it is a wonder to me bow a light wagon can be dragged over it. From the river to the Palo Alto, some nine miles, there is not altogether half a mile of hard road. The mud is generally a fool deep, and in some places two or three feel deep, anil there is at least four miles of wa ter, in many places hardly fordable for hor ses. The gentleman who accompanied me down captured a gar-fish on "Six Mile Prairie," between the battle-fields, the oth er day, nearly three feet long. I passed over the same place four or five times when it was perfectly dry, with no appearance ofhaving ever been overflown. At the Resaca de la Palma, where, as you will ob serve on the map, a road passes between the ponds, there is now but one pond, and that is deep enough any where for a re, spectably sized steamboat to pass through it. The Palo Alto battle-field is two-thirds 'covered with water. ENLISTING THE MORMONS FOR THE WAR.—CoI. Kearney, having failed to get the number of Infantry from the volunteers which he desired, has despatched Capt. Allen; of the U. S. Army, to the Mormons now encamped on the plains above Fort Leavenworth, to enlist, if practicable, 500 or more of their men. • TarrEn rnom GEN.

By the Committe—Winfield Scott—A soldier, who has freely shed his blood in the eause.Of his country—a patriot, whose name and deeds are as familiar as “house hol&words"—and whose fame is as dear as the national honor to the hearts of the millions of his countrymen.

We have the pleasure of stating that the tax. payers of Adams county have promptly respond ed to the circular of the County Cofnmissioners, in regard to the payment of the State Taxes, and that the County Treasurer left this place yester day for If i rrisburg, prepared to pay our fir// quo ta of the State Tax. If the other counties have done as well, there need be no fear as to the non payment of the August interest. A Metoor. On Monday night last a large and brilliant me teor passed across the heavens, from south-west to the north-east, apparently passing immediately over our town, and_ beautifully illuinini ng the streets. It came suddenly into view at an angle of about 30 0 aboVe the horizon, and darting rapidly over us, passed beyond the range of vision within about. 35° of the northern horizon. ThegVil liancy of the meteor, and the bright glare thrown over the town, caused it to be very generally obser ved by our citizens. We notice by our exchange papers that the same meteor was observed in Baltimore, York, Lancaster, and other places, under similar circum- Ilot Weather. The oppressive heat of Friday, Saturday. and Sunday, seems to have been felt at other places than Gettysburg. At Philadelphia the mercury reached 103 degrees; at New York 95 ; Provi dence, 05 ; Boston ; Rochester 06 ; at Pitts burg 97. Numerous deriths from the effects of the heat and drinking cold water are recorded in our exchanges. In Philadelphia, on Saturday the Coroner held inquests over the bodies of ten per sons who had died from this cause. In Baltimore nine inquest's of a similar kind were held by the Coroner. The New York Sun thinks that the victims in that city, during' the three days, num bered over rirTr ! The New York Courier men- lions three cases in which life was saved by the application of a mustard plaster over the whole abdomen, and giving brandy internally. The city papers also state that a large number of horses fell dead in their harness. In Gettys-• burg, the mercury ranged from 90 to 93 degrees. We learn that one of tho horses in the Stage-team running from this place to York died from the effects of the heat on Friday ; also one on Mr. TAres line between Gettysburg and Ballimoke. Looking up. We are pleased to learn from the Bloomfield (I owa) Standard, that our quondam case-mate, WiNf. P. CLARK, Esq., late Editor of the lowa Standard, has been nominated By the Whigs of Muscatine, Johnson, and lowa counties, as their candidate for 'the Territorial Council. During 'prentice days CLARK and our "proper self" picked type together for several years, and a whole-souled, generous. hearted fellow he was. By the way—Bill, recol lect the last night and "THAT FINGEn?" We have been steadily looking for it ever since. We observe by the same paper that Man D. DOWNEY, Esq. formerly of this place, has been re nominated as. Representative for Johnson county. The Whigs of lowa will do themselves honor in sustaining both by triumphant majorities. MrThe editor of the U. S. - Gazette is repectful ly reminded of what he :seems to be entirely una ware, that there may be members of the Whig party equally capable with himself of determining what may and what may not subserve the inter ests of the Whig cause. Mr. CHANDLER is a good Whig, and, in his proper plait., a good lead er. But he must not mistake his position. For ourselves we are heartily sick of the frequent gra tuitous and officious "rebukes" which the mention of any other than coiz name in connection with the Presidency, seldom fails to elicit from the Gazette. If Mr. C. be so entirely wedded to the idol of his affections, as to be unable to appreciate the motives of those whose views and preferences may diller from his own, policy, if not courtesy, should induce less frequent charges of"sellisliness" upon those battling for the same principleirmil professing equally disinterested motives. lUra.ome Locofocos of the Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, lately held a meeting at which they nominated Gen. TAYLOR for the Presidency ! When old "Rough and' Ready" shall have been ta ken up by the Whig party, these fellows will no doubt be among his most malignant revilers. Erne Locofoco, Congressional District Con vention, recently held in Illinois, among others a dopted a Resolution approving of "all the meas. ures . Congress had adopted, or mil 0-rftficr a dop.",', Behind the times —why that's been the treed of the vilify" in the,e quarters ever since 1 s'ltit Exectiflve Ititerference. _ The Bill to graduate the price of unFold Public Lands, &c., failed in the House of Representatives on Friday by alomOt s 5 to on its passage. As the passage of the bill was understood to be one of the conditions of the "bargain and sale - bet‘‘een the Southern and ‘Vemern Locofoco members cot t:ongress, by which the latter were induced to support M•Kay's Free-trade Bill, its defeat exei• ted alarm among the partizans of the Admin istration, lest the Western Senators should in con sequence flinch . from the support of M•Kay's Bill now before the Senate, and this cherished nieasure of the Government be swamped: A reconsidera of the vote was at once moved, and, after a good deal of skirmishing, the House adjourned• over, in order to give time and oppOrtunity to apply the dragooning process, so effectually exercised over the refractory, pending the passage of the Tariff Bill in the House. A caucus was held that night. and on the next day all the confidential advisers of the Executive, except th'e Attorney General— Messrs. Buchanan, Marcy, Walker, Johnson and I ) titchie—made their appearance in the House, and / b • constant and close intercommunication with re members, succeeded in drilling them sufficiently to secure a reconsideration of the previous day's action of the House by one vote. This accom plished, the bill was laid aside with the viriv of giving further time d. .for caucus movements and the application of additional agencies to secure its final passage. This bold and novel method of in terfering with the legislation of the country, by overawing the Representatives of the people and deterring them from an independent exercise of their prerogatives, has excited, as it should, no lit tle alarm and called forth numerous expressions of indignant condemnation from the public press. The correspondent of the United States Gazette, writing from Washington, says : "This is not the first or second time that members of the Cabinet have been present when important votes were to be taken, and whelk the result has been considered doubtful. It is a new practice in the Gov ernment, and shows the progress of cor ruption, and not the_progress of it only, but the increased shamelessness and profli gacy of it. The presence of the Cabinet officers in the lloise, was the subject of general remark, and it was suggested that a resolution should be offered—and such an one may perhaps be offered as a rebuke to their intermeddling in the legislative af fairs—that the Commissioner of Public Buildings cause Ministerial benches to be erected in the House for the accommoda tion of the King's ministers, whenever; they should thing proper to come here to dragoon the House into proper obedience i to the Executive will." "'What miserable tools and toadies, (says the York Republican) those unworthy representatives of the people must be thus to surrender their views and opinions to Executive dictation—to be thus dragooned by the emissaries of the President ! And what alietty tyrant this Mr. Polk must be! Row fully he must understand the craven and mercenary nature of his followers thus to trample under foot the independence of the Legislative De partment I Why Charles the Frst, when he went in person and broke up - the session of the English Commons, was not guilty of a bolder usurpation ; and we soon may expect to see our American Au tocrat following the royal precedent to its utmost extent. Shame on men prOfessing to bedemocrats to exhibit such servility ! Land Graduation 11111. The Land Graduation Bill, after a closely con tested fight of several days, finally passed the House under the influence of Executive interfe rence on Tuesday by a vote of 12 to 90. The first section provides that all pullic land which shall have been offered for sale twenty years or more, on the Ist of December 13.10, shall. there after be subject to entry at one dollar Per acre for the term of five years. All the before described lands then remaining on sale, shall be subject to entry at 75 cents per acre for anether term of five years, and all sueh unsold at the end of the last mentioned term, may be entered at 50 cents per Hamilton's Papers.

Mr. WErisTru presented a remon strance from the citizens of Boston against the passage of a new Tariff Bill. The remonstrance was signed by every importer of dry goods in the city of Boston, and in presenting it Mr. Webster ad. dressed the Senate in a few remarks uttered in an unusually solemn and impressive manner. Not withstanding the expression often repeated, that the new Administration would repeal the Act of I s-t 9. : notwithstanding the Chief Magistrate had repeated his hostility to this Act in his Inaugural Address and his annual Message; notwithstanding the 'apprehensions of those opposed to such repeal, and the late period at which the repeal bill had been introduced—notwithstanding all these things —the country was warned and ought to have been prepared for the worst—the passage of this bill through one house of Congress and its appearance in the other, had taken the country by surprise! Ile might say it had tilled the whole country with fear and apprehension. From the Potomac to the Penobscot, it had not been ,expected that a bill containing such principles as this bill contains, could ever receive the sanction of Congress. He said it was not his intention to discuss those principles now, but if his health held out under the present broiling sun, it was - • his purpose tb go into a thorough examination of all the details of a bill so novel and so dangerous in its principles— so rash, and he might say, so intemperate in many of its provisions--a bill that could not but pro duce the greatest anxiety, distress and alarm throughout the country. More Taxes. ircTlie New York Journal of Commerce. an Administration and Free-Trade paper, in an arti cle reviewing the Bill lately passed in the House of Representatives admits thht it cannot produce revenue sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of the Government, and says • that "direct taxes must ultimately and Wore long be resorted to!" Tax-payers of Pennsylvania, what say ye to this? Already burdened and almost overwhelmed with heavy taxation as you are, how relish ye this fa vorite measure of Mr. Polk, which, while it crush es the industrial energies of the State, and brings want and misery to the doors of her citizens and laborers, imposes upon you additional taxes to swell the load already pressing you ber.eath its weight. "Who is James R. Polk V' was the scornful response of the Whigs of the Union to his nomination by the Baltimore Convention; most painfully is it being answered in the Anti-Ameri can measures of his Administration. The People Moving*. The prospect of a repeal of the Tariff of 1512 has produced considerable agitation in the Iron and Coal regions of this State. Large meetings of the Citizens of Berks and Schnylkill counties have been held at Reading, Pottsville, and_Matinch Chunk, without distinction• of party, at which strong resolutions were unanimously adopted, tie nouncing the bill berore Congress as ruinous to the propserity of the State, and necessarily fatal to to the Coal and Iron interents The Potatoe Rot. The Delaware State Journal, Westminster Car roltonian, and York Republican announce the ap pearanc'e of the "Potatoe Rot," which did so much injury last season. The Republican of Wednes day last says : "It is now discovered in the early Potatoes. From the few inquiries which we have made, we are led to fear that the rot has already attacked the early crop in this vicinity, as we are informed that a large proportion of the new pota toes purchased at our markets have been diseased, and some farmers say that they have discovered it in the hills, in low wet ground. We regret this sincerely, as no vegetable production is in such general use and affords so material and favor ite a portion of the food of Tan as the Potatoe.= Every writer on the subject seems to have his own theory about it, scarcely any two agreeing; and no remedy has yet been discovered for the evil." The flak. Dr. M . PurnsoN advertises in a subsequent col umn a cosmetic, for the "growth, preservation. and beautifying of the Hair, and the removal of Dandruff; Sze." Numerous certificates of its vir tues are in the hands of the Agent in this place, among others from Flon. A. V. Pardlns, Wm. Colder, Dr. Roberts, Rev. P. :Maher, Dr. Seiler, E.

We have no additional intelligence of impor tance from the Rio Grande. The wet season and heavy rains rendered 'it almost impossible for the army to conduct its operations to much advantage. All accounts from the capital, however, represent that the President, Paredes, was to march'to meet Gen. Taylor with a large number of men. Appre hensions existed at Vera Cruz that au . attack would be made upon the Castle, and troops were being brought in constantly from the country.— Many were falling a prey to the yello-w:lever. The Harvest. The fine weather of the last eight or ten days has enabled our farmers to secure the new crop. We believe the Wheat crop throughout the county has been good with a few exceptions; and that the yield will be the usual average. One of our "town farmers," Sir. RonEnT Smtrit, expects a yield of SOO bushels from a few lots lying about town, av eraging full 3O bushels to the acre. Mechanics' Liens.

(Great sensation.; voices : "Did you hear that f" "Did you hear him say Si) ?" "Is that possible"' r) Mr. P. repeated the statement. Hebei heard Mr. Ouchamm use these words. Mr. Pollock farther stated that at one of the. great Polk meetings in Pennsylvania during the canvass, a banner was borne at the head of the procession inscribed “James '. Polk and the. Tariff' qf 1842 —7l'e dare the Whigs to repeal it.” Can any stretch of charity avert the conclusion that the leading actors in this swindle knew they were cheating on the most gigantic scale ever known. Nov Er. PRocEEDINo.—The grandjury of Marshall county, Miss., have indicted a whole gang of loungers and idlers with which that town has been infested for a long time past. The fellows dress well, live high, and do 'nothing. The .way they earit a living, and whether honestly or not, is what the grand jury is determin ed to find out. Suppose the grand jury were to indict all the loungers and idlers about these quarters. what a busy time there would bein the courts for a few months. FEMALE "tirowrs."—Two women in Cincinnati, a few days ago, crossed the river into Kentuclo,; . to settle a quarrel, ac companied by several female friends and their seconds. They foUght five rounds in strict accordance with the rules of box ing, and then pitched into each other after the Tennessee sort. One was whipped of course, and honor having been satisfied, there was a cordial shaking - of tongues. Tit t: Wit EAT . 1 11A vEsT is going on favor ably in Western N. York.

Webster defending the !limiting-Treaty before the Senate; a subject which may probably occupy his attention for two or three years, and which he will doubtless be ambitious to render one of the great works of his life. Few artists of his years have attained to the reputation of of Mr. Ilealy, and very brilliant prospects are opening before him." METHODIST PROTESTANT C The Slave Question.—ln consequence of the action of the late General Conference of the Methodist Protestlint Church on the slave question, a number of the members of the Cincinnati, Batavia and,Buford cir cuits, held a convention on the 20th ult., at which resolutions were unanimously a d tpted, disapproving the action of the con ti:rencit on said question; recommending to the quarterly conference of the several circuits and stations of the Ohio annual conference to take into consideration the propriety of withdrawing fellowship from the slaveholding portion of the church, and to instruct the delegates to the next annual conference accordingly. They also resolv ed that in ease the Ohio conference refused to withdraw, they would withdraw them selves. TROUBLE. AMONG TILE INDIANS.—Some apprehensions appear to be entertained that an attack will be made on Fort Shell ing by the Chippewas, for the purpose of recovering two Sion* Indians, in custody there on a charge of killing a Chippewa.— The two men had been given up for trial, and the friends of the murdered man were clamorous to 1.1. et possession of them that they Might inflict sumwary veng eance.— There was one company of U.
