FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER.
JAMES Mm POWER,
OF MERCER COIWTV.
We are requested to state that a com
munion meeting of several days, will take
place on "Whitsuntide, in the Stoxe
Church. Services will be conducted in
German and English. Assistance is ex
pected, with leave of Providence, from
lie Rev. Henry IIeckermax, Missiona
y of Bedford county.
11 1 ii
CannI Commissioner.
The Office cf Canal Commissioner has
got to be one of the most important offi
ces in the Commonweath. The board
have large and discretionary powers,
which of necessity are exerted either for
good or for evil to the tax-payers, who
must always make up deficiencies when
ever any occur in the State Treasury.
When the people through their Reprc
ecntatives, decided that the Board should
be elected, it was with the object and un
derstanding: of making the office rotative,
to that a new member should be elected
each year, though no provision was made
against re-electicn. This omission in the
law has been taken advantage of by those
who control the Democratic party, and
Mr. Foster, who goes out of office next
fall, nominated for a second term. Had
that party taken a new man, they might
perhaps hare urged his election with
some degree of plausibility, provided he
were capable. But aside from the consid
eration that the Whigs are justly entitled to
lhcir share in the management of the pub
lic works, the nomination oT Mr. Foster
was highly improper, as running counter
to the long-established Democratic prin
ciple of "rotation in office" and under
these circumstances we think we may
safely urge the election of Mr. Power,
the Whig nominee, in the hope and ex
pectation of seeing him elected. Let the
Whigs bestir themselves in time, so that
they may be prepared to act effectively
when then the time for action arrives.
Our I'ositiun.
We are of the number, as our readers
are aware, who were opposed to the an
nexation of Texas, upon the ground that
the United States had no need of that ter
ritory, and that by incorporating it into
the Union the "area" of slavery would
be extended and the nation probably in
volved in War. Thus much we predicted
before the act of annexation was consum
mated, and what we then looked upon
as a probable event has already come to
p-ss. The present war with Mexico is
the result of the act providing for the an
nexation of Texas and of the measures
taken by our government to render that
annexation complete. But, although we
and the Whigs in general, especially those
of the northern and middle States, were
opposed to the Texas scheme, now, that
that scheme has been adopted by a major
ity of the People's Representatives, and
thereby become a national matter, wc
deem it our duty and the duty of all citi
zens of whatever party, to stand by the
na'ioa in the difficulties into which she
lias been plunged, though the responsibil
ty of those difficulties and of whatever
f acrifice of lives and treasure that may
arise out of them must rest upon the
heads of those who conceived and of those
who consummated that project.
Requisition for Volunteers
We leara that the President of the U
nitcd States has made a requisition upon
Gov. Shunkfor six Regiments Pennsyl
vania Volunteers. This number wc think
will be readily furnished, and many more
we have no doubt, will be anxious to turn
out. An opportunity is thus now ofibrd
cdto our young men to distinguish them
selves on the battle-field.
The War Xevi s.
. Wc publish to-day highly important
intelligence from the Army. Our troops,
it will be seen, have been victorious and
it is to be hoped that Gen. Taylor will ere
this time hare received fresh supplies of
men and provisions. The country is
aroused, and soon there will be no lack of
forces on the Rio Grande. All minor
matters and considerations are laid aside,
end the whole nation is united, as one
man, in maintaining our country's honor
and soon the Mexican Government will
have csuse to regret having ever tinsheeth
i the sword ag.'inrt the United States.
Volunteers for the Army.
A correspondent of. the National intell
gencer, writing from New Orleans under
date of May 11, says about sixteen hun
dred men ' had then been mustered into
service at that place. Three steamboats
full of volunteers had left within the forty-eight
hours preceding, and it was pre
sumed no draft of men would be required.
Gen. Win ft eld Scott.
This veteran officer, it appears, has
been required by the President to take
command of the Army against Mexico.
This lact has excited high expectations
in regard to our army operations, as Gen.
Scott is known to the whole nation as one
of the bravest and most efficient officers
of the last war with Great Britain.
.ow is the Time!
Now, that war has commenced, is the
time when a newspaper will be most in
teresting. Every one'will be anxious to
hear from the Armv; and we would there
fore reouest our readers to urge such of
i-
their neighbors as are not in the receipt
of a newspaper to subscribe for the "Her
ald" forthwith.
TI;e Rio Grande.
This river is sometimes known by the
name Rio Bravo, and again as Rio del
Norte. At Matamoras, opposite to which
place Gen. Taylor is encamped, the riv
er is several hundred yards wide. It
empties into the Gulph of Mexico at
Point Isabel, where it has from 8 to 10
feet of water. From the camp of Gen.
Taylor to this point the distance is about
30 miles, and from New Orleans to the
same place, by the Mississippi and coast
wise, about 800 miles.

GLORIOUS NEWS!
POINT ISABEL SAFE!
Matamoras Reduced to Ashes!
THE ARMY TRIUMPHANT 7 00
MEXICANS KILLED BUT ONE
AMERICAN LOST GENERAL
BLOCKADE OF M E X I C A N
PORTS ORDERED.
By the arrival of the Steamship New
lork at Iew Orleans, we have glorious
news, which was sent forward by express
from that city, until it overtook the rcgu
lar mail. The fame of the American Ar
mv has been signally vindicated with i
force so vastly inferior and disproportion-
ed, that the greatest anxiety has pervaded
every American heart for the safety of
our gallant little band. They have no
bly turned upon our enemies'and gained a
greai, glorious, triumphant victory ! Capt
Walker, of the Texas Rangers, who ar
rived on the 5th in the afternoon, from
the entrenchment opposite Matamoras,
reports as follows;
" An engagement had taken place be
tween the United States and Mexican
forces. Gen. Taylor on the evening of
the 3d: made a sortie with a detachment
for the purpose of opening a communica
tion between Isabel and the encampment.
On the morning the 4th, the Mexicans
taking advantage of his absence, at day
break opened a heavy fire and canonade
on the entrenchments, which was gallant
ly returned by the U. S. Troops, and
in thirty minutes silenced the enemy's
batteries, reducing the city of Matamoras
to ashes !
The slaughter amongst th? Mexicans
was temendous; upwards of TOO lay dead
upon the field! The number of houses
was not sufficient to accomodate the
wounded Mexicans.
In and about Matamojss there were
5000 Mexican traops, and reiuforccmenls
were daily expected.
Gen. Tavlor was to leave Point Isabel
on the Cth, with all the troops he could
commrnd to open and keep clear the com
munication between the Point and the
army.
Major Ringgold, of the r lying Artillery
commonded the American camp during
the engagement. Our army, of course,
were in the highest spirits.
The only communication made be
tween Point Isabel and thccamp,had been
that forced by Capt. Walker.
The single American killed during the
bombardment of Matamors, was by the
explosion of a shell.
'I 'he American camp lias been most
strongly constructed. The Mexican
fire had not the least effect upon it.
Captain Walker, of the Texas Rangers
is spoken of as having acted very gallant
ly in his efforts to open commnnication.
He had his horse shot under him.
The cheering intelligence will go forth
over the union, carrying joy to every
heart.
Every lover of his country and friend
of peace, may equally rejoice at the sig
nal victory as covering our name with
glory, and hastening the prospect of a
happy peace.

IMPORTANT FROM THE RIO
GRANDE GENERAL TAYLOR
AT POINT ISABELATTACK
ON HIS CAMP REPULSE OF
THE MEXICANS DESTRUC
TION OF MATAMORAS A GEN
ERAL BLOCKADE OE THE
MEXICAN PORTS ORDRED !
Monday, May 11, lOo'dcck, A. M.
Our last previous accounts came down
to Wednesday the 23d ult. Capt. Walk
er, cf the Texas Rangers, having come
into Point Isabei on the evening of the
28th ult., from his desperate encounter
with the Mexicans, . had volunteered to
carry despatcnes to Gen. Taylor. We
now learn by the N. Y. that in that des
perate attempt so desperate as to be
thought fool hardy he fully succeeded.
Gen Taylor learned from him the critical
situation in which Point Isabel was 'pla
ced, and the iminent danger of its being
carried by an everpowering force of the
Mexicans. He promptly determined up
on a movement which should protect
Point Isabel, and re-establish his commu
nication with his supplies. Accordingly
the evening of Friday, the 1st instant, he
left his camp opposite Matamoras, with
the main body of his forces, determined
to cut his way through, leaving behind
him for the de.fence cf tee works opposite
Matamoras between 700 and 800 troops.
This movement of Gen. Taylor upon
Point Isabel was effected without en
countering a single Mexican.
On the morning of the 3d Gen. Taylor
despatched Capt. Walker, back to the
Camp for intelligence. The gallant Ran
ger executed his commission with success,
returning to Point Isabel the afternoon of
the 5th. He reported that the Mexicans
commenced an attack upon it in front the
morning of Sunday, the 3d, with all their
batteries from the opposite side of the
river, and simultaneously with a detach
ment of their forces on this side the Rio
Grande,- in the rear. The Americans
hotly returned the hre. J ne attack in
the rear was immediately repulsed, and
in less than thirty minutes the Mexican
batteries were silenced, and the city of
Matamoras battered down. The loss to
the Mexicans in the action is va
riously set down. While no account
makes it less than 200, the latest report
in regard to it, which we find in the Gal
veston News, carries it as high as 700.
The Americans lost a single man, it is
said, who was killed by a shell. None
were wounded. The town of Matamoras
is a complete ruin; there are scarcely
houses enough
left standing
to serve as
hospitals for the wounded.
Wm. F. Divelv, Esq., of Berlin, is
recommended as a suitable person for
