The Revenue returns the 5th of April

The year's deficiency in the customs a

A letter from the Army.
Camp near Mutamoras. April 12 184G. j
Dear Sir Anxious to keep you eor-
redly informed of passing events in this
quarter of the world, I avail myself of
somcof the very few leisure moments I
am permitted to enjoy. I wrote you last i
from Point Isabella, and will lake up ray i
narrative from that Point.
The day after writing my letter we set
off for this place and the fust day encamp
ed with the main body. We started ear
y next morning in one column, .the na
ture of the country being such as to pre
vent anv oilier order
of march, V lien
five miles of the
- .
arrived within four or
ricr we found our advanced guard halted
wilh the information that they had lost
two men and three horses, captured by a
party of Mexicans. This looked bellig-pi-pii'i
intWd. and preparations were made
accordingly, The trains were parked
and the traces cast Iooe from the wheel
mules, while the v hole command moved
forward covered by light infantry skir
mishers. At last wc came in sight of the Mexi
can llaj, and a few minutes more and the
town and its fortifications lay within 250
va:d of us. "We defiled directly along
the river bank, the river is about 180 or
200 yards w;da and halting within
musket slio! of their batteries, hastily
rectcd a temporary Hag stall and unfurled
the "stars and stripes." Our standards
and colors were unfurled by the deffcrent
regiments as they passed it, and the bands
saluted it with the national airs. We en
camped in some large corn-fields, in
which the corn was 18 inches or 2 feet
high and almost immediately Gen.
'Worth, with his staff officers, was sent
with a white flag to demand a parley.
In a short lime, a boat put out from
, t
the other side, bringing two Mexican olli
ccrs in snlniuHi uniiorms, who m answer
to General Worth, stated that tliey were
forbidden to allow his crossing the river.
They consented to receive a letter from
Gen. Taylor, however, directed to Gen.
Mejia, stating our peaceable intentions,
L., and to the matter ended for the day.
The next day in answer to a demand from
Gen. T., t!;cy returned us the two men
and two of the horses they had captured,
slating that the act had not been author
ised by their military authorities, and that
their magnanimous nation did not war
upon individuals, &c, in their usual
strain. By this time they had commen
ced new batteries, and at daylight next
morning, we found that they had during
the night thrown up a sand bag battery
of very formidable appearance. The
next night word was brought into camp,
that GOO Cavalry had crossed the river be
low, destination supposed to be Point
Isabella. Our squadron was ordered
down there immediately. We received
the order to saddle up at 25 minutes past
8 o'clock, and at half past two o'clock,
we were at Pt. I., 28 j miles distant.
The night was rainy, and so dark that
we lost the road twice. We remained
there two davs without hearing or seeing
any thing.
Whilst there, the garrison of the place
completed their field redoubt and mount
cd four six pounders in it. We brought
up wilh us six 18 pounders, and cn our
return found two field works thrown up
on cur side, and another one is now near- !
ly finished. The latter is intended to
light three brigades within its walls, if
necessary. We made another night
march, four nights ago with fifteen men
and a lieutenant, we started at dark and
kept the river bank for 8 miles down, re- j
turning about 4 o'clock, A. M., without i
seeing any thing. Day before yesterday
Col. Cross, the third officer in rank with
the army, and Assistant Quarter Master
General, rode out alone, as he had been
in the habit of doing, and has not been
heard of since.
Our entire Dragoon force has been
scouring the'eountry in all directions, but
without success. Supposing that he had
been made prisoner and carried to Mata
moras, a ilag was sent to the Ferry this
morning, to inquire. They have assured
us most positively, that he was not there
lo their knowledge, and certainly had
not been captured by their orders. There
is ver- little doubt but that he was mur
durcd for his horse watcn &c. This is a
sadioss to us, for he has always ranked
as'one of the first, if not the first soldier
of the Army. Another great loss we
have sustained in the resignation of Gen.
Worth, who left here the same day that
CoL C. was lost.
3 o'clock, r. m.
About an hour since two Mexican offi
cers crossed lo this side wilh a flag bear
ing a despatch to Gen. Taylor. What do
you think it was? Gen. Ampudia has
arrived there in advance of his army,
w hich is said to be. from 4,000 to 0,000
ctrong. He has notified Gen. T. lo re
tire from this to our old camp at Corpus
Bhristi; failing to do this bv two o'
clok TO-MOlHiOW he is going to open
the batteries upon us! The declaration fur
ther says that upon us will rest the respon
sibilities of a long and bloody war, which
so far as they were concerned, will be
carried on with a strict regard to the rules
and observation of civilized nations.

Rail Itoad lolfie Maryland 2Joe.
We give for more public information a
statement of the diflerent enactments,
chartering a company for the purpose of
making a rail road from Pittsburg to Con
nellsvillc and from thence by the waters
nf the Yourhioffhenv to the Maryland
- o o w
line. .
The act approved April 3d, 1837 gives
a charter to the Pittsburg & Councils
ville 1L R. Co. Section first, appoints
and names the Commissioners fixes the
price of the shares at $100, and requires
6000 shares to be subscribed and so to
be paid on each share at the time of sub
scribing. Letters patent to issue when
2000 shares are subscribed, and $5 on
each share paid. None but persons o
lawful aire permitted to subscribe. The
Sih section, is as follows:
The said company be, and they are
hereby authorized, as soon as thev can
conveniently, to locate and construct a
railroad, of one or more tracks, from the
city of Pittsburg", by the course of the
Monoi.rahcla and Ycushiojrhcny rivers
to some suitable point at or near Connels
ville, and to join or intersect at that,
point, or any other practicll point
anyr other improvement, either by cana
or railroad, and to make, construct and
erect, such ware houses toll houses, car
riages, cars, and all other appenda
ges necessary for the convenience of the
said company, m the use of said rail
road.
Sec. 13th provides that no tolls on any
species of property shall' exceed five
cents per' ton per mile, and upon passen
gers more than three cents each per mile
and that the Legislature reserves to it
self the right to reduce and regulate the
tolls.
Sec. 17 allows the stock holders to in
crease their capital from time to time,
but prohibits the increase beyond one
mil! ion of dollars.
Sec. 17. The road to be commenced
in five years.
By the act approved April 18lh, 1813,
it is provided
Sec. 5th. That the above act be re
vived, and extended and continued five
years from the passage of this act. Re
duces the shares from $200 lo 850, and
the amount to be paid at the time of sub
scribing, to $2 50, and empowering the
same Commissioners or their survivors
to act.
Tec. 6th allows the Counties of Alle
gheny, Westmoreland, Fayette and Som
erset, and any city, borough or incorpo
rated company to have power, to subscribe
thereto as fudy as any individual can
do.
Sec. 7th. "That said company shall
have full power and discretion to select
any route from the city of Pittsburg to
Turtle Creek which may be deemed
most eligible and advantageous, and may
extend said railroad bevond Connells-
ville to Smithfield, or any other point on
the waters of the Youghiogheny, and
wtithin the limits of this Commonwealth.
Laws of Pa. 1813; page 338 and '4.
By a resolution, approved 19th April,
1813, so much of the 7th section of the
above act as authorizes the. -Pittsburgh Sc
tonncilsville rail road company to ex
tend their rail road beyond Councils
ville, is repealed. Laws of Pa. 1813, p.
395.
This is the way the law stood until the
session 1810. The law of 1837 which
had expired, was revived and the time
extended to April, 1848. The shares
reduced from $100 to $50, and the a-
mount to be paid thereon at the time .of
subscribing from $5, to $2 50, and coun
ties, cities and other incorpatious permit
ted to become stockholders, and .the capi-
lai limited to 31,000.000. The maxi
mum rate of tolls fixed, with a reserved
right in the Legislature to reduce the
same at pleasure, and by, the resolution
of the 19th of April, repealing the 7th
section of the act passed but the day be
fore, the company again limited to the
distance of Connellsville. It is appa
rent therefore that a repeal of the repeal
ing resolution of the 29 of April 1843,
would reinstate in full foroe the 7th sec
tion of the act of 18th April as above re
cited in full. The history of that resolu
tion is as follows. The act of 18th A
pril, 1843, was passed in both Houses
with little or no opposition, but the friends
of the bill being threatened with a veto
from the Governor if the clause was re
tained extending the road beyond Con
nellsville, agreed to repeal that part, for
sake ot having the expired act revived,
and in accordance therewith the resolu
tion of the 19th of April was introduced
and passed.
The supplemental legislation of the last
session, repealed this resolution of 10th
AFlt 10Wt ami at me same time ex-
pressly revives the 7th section of the act
oi ISth of AnriL 184!? Ttito l
route beyond Connellsville to any
within the State. It also changes
gives the
extent
the act
oi 147 so tar as to give to every share
of stock, one vote. It also modifies the
13th fcecben, wherein. th rates of toll
are fixed, and does away with the provi
so in said section, which reserves to the
Legislature the right of reducing and reg
ulating the tolls. It also repeals so much
ol the. ICth section 'of the same act,which
limits the capital, but retaining the other,
empowering the company to increase the
capital from time to time.
- The result of these several acts of le
gislation is: The charter for a company
to make a rail road from Pittsburgh to
Connellsville, with leave under the 8th
section of the act of 1837, to choose a
"practicable point" for its terminus, in
view of a connection with any other rail
road, and under the 7th section of the act
of 1843 to follow the waters of Yough
iogheny until the same enter the State of
Maryland. The charter is entirely un
burdened with conditions of bonus, ex
cept the payment of 8 per cent on all div
idends exceeding 6 per cent, on capital
paid in. It is without limit as to dura
tion or the amount of its capital. It re
quires only tnat 2000 shares be subscrib-
ph which at S50 is S100.000, on which '
$5000 is to be paid. Upon a certificate
of this being done the Governor is direc
ted by the law to issue a patent to the
Company, to avoid a forfeiture of which
the road must be commenced before the
18th of April 1848. All other minor
details of the law in respect to this char
mer will be found in the Act of 1837
chartering the Pittsburgh and Connells
ville Rail Road Company; the Act and
resolution of 1843 and the several sup
plernentrl acts of the last legislature not
yet come to hand.
We should much have preferred the
grant of the Right of Way to the Balti
more and Ohio Company as that would
have secured the road without burdening
our own citizens, on whom a large por
tion of it mnst now fall, with the weight
of the stock- would also have secured
lo the commonwealth a revenue of from
30 to $50,000 a year, and a valuable con
nection with Philadelphia through the
heart of the State. Denied what we wish
ed and so faithfully fought for, against
stubborn fools and wicked speculators,
but determined to secure a road, Ave took
the next best bill or succession of bills
that effected our purpose.
Too much praise cannot be given to
our representatives who fought this battle
lhrough the Senate and the House con
tending day after day and inch by inch
with an opposition unrivalled for invetcr
ancy, bitterness, and unsruplcness of
means, in all the history of Legislation.
Against such an odds of numbers, talent
and wealth, it is no little glory that they
obtained as they did, the second best mea
sure for those they represented when deni
ed the one most beneficial to other parts
of the State.

The Revenue Bill.

Correspondence of the Bull. American.
Washington May 4.
The House met this morning with a
large number of members present. The
Hall of the House appears in its summer
dress more inviting than at any time
previous.
The Union, you will observe, charges
the proposed acjourmnent of Congress in
June to the Whigs, when it notoriously
originated with members of ils own par
ty. The public will gain by the change;
and the Government lose nothing. It is
very doubtful however, whether a sug
gestion from reasonablo men will be
heeded.
There i3 nothing new in the city from
the Army of Occupation, and there is
much doubt, I find as to the fact whether
the Notice was sent to England by the
steamer of the 1st insr.
There is a probability that the new
Tariff bill will be taken up next week.
Such has been the intention of Mr.
McKay for some time past.
Neither of the Investigating Commit
tees has been in session to-day. The
Committee to investigate Mr. Ingersoll's
conduct will meet to-morrow, when, it in
whispered, Mr, I. will make a written
statement. He is not in the city to-day.
- In the House the Committee on Pub
lic Lands reported a bill for the sale of
Mineral Lands on Lake Superior.
Mr. Adams offered a resolution calling
upon the President of the United Stales
to inform the House whether any soldier
or officer of the U. S. has been shot for
deserting, or while in the act of deserting
and if so, when, and by whose order.
The resolution was adopted.
Arrival of Mr. Webster.
The announcement that Mr. Webster
was expected to arrive yesterday after
noon in the Long Island train, from New
York, attracted a vast concourse of
persons to the station on the Boston fc
Worcester Railroad, in Lincoln street, a
bout five o'clock, for the purpose of greet
ing him on his arrival. It being announ
ced that he had arrived, he was most en
thusiastically cheered, and after he had
taken his seat in a barouche provided for
the occcsion, Mayor Quincy in the name
of the assembled multitude, in a short ad
dress, bade him a cordial and appropriate
welcome. Mr. Webster replied in terms
expressive of his sense of the compliment
paid him by so hearty a greeting, by so
many of his fellow-citizens. Several
thousands of persons were assembled to
give this spontaneous testimonial of their
regard, and after his address, a procession
was formed to escort him to the residence
of J. W. Paige, Esq. During the march
of the procession, the horses became so
excited by the accumulations of the mul
tiude, that Mr. Webrter and those who
accompanid him were obliged to take
to their feet. Boston Adv.
