C.jrncr of Bult-A. Cal at zJiMXo 1 C State st. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER. JAMES M. POW ER, or Metiers county. Presidency and Vice Presidency. We see indications in various quarters of a desire on the part of the Whig party to bring out Gen. Wixfield Scott for the next Presidency, and know of no man in the nation to whom we would give a more ready and cordial support. Finn in principle, moderate as a politician, and patriotic in sentiment and in action, he is precisely, the man for the Whigs, for the crisis, and for the country. 1 ar It might perhaps be premature for the Whi" to designate their candidate thus early, but there can be no impropriety in discussing the merits and availability of men, and to notice the indications of pub lic sentiment in favor of one or another among those who stand most prominent. With regard to the Vice Presidency but little has been said as yet. Nor is it our intention to agitate that question at this time; but it may not be out of place to mention in connexion with what we have said above, that the Hon. Andrew Stewart is spoken of by some of our best men as a suitable person for the sec ond office in the nition. He is every where known as a plain, sound, practical man, and would in the opinion of many not only be a strong candidate, but make a most excellent presiding officer when elected. The Ensuing Ejection. A list of officers to be voted lor by the people of Somerset County at the ensu ing ejection. One person for Canal Commissioner. One person for Congress. One person for Assembly. One person for Sheriff. One person for Coroner. One person for Commissioner. One person for Auditor. Three persons for Directors of the Poor. Pay of Seamen. An eastern paper says there is at pres ent a great scarcity of seamen, and that if our whole naval force is to be fitted out, the Government will have to increase the inducements to enlist. At present no bounty is odered, and but three months' pay given to the men in advance. The latter, we believe, is S12 per month, and amounts to the enormous sum of $36, which in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred goes to pay up old scores with Jack's last landlord. We think justice demands that the pay of members of Con gress and of seamen and soldiers should be a little more equalized than it is at pres ent. Invasion oT !tIcxico. A Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writes as follows: An invasion (of Mexico) from differ ent points at the same time, the forces all aiming at the City of Mexico, has been talked of. A distinguished officer of the array has, it is said, given il as his opin ion that a force of a hundred thousand men will be necessary for the object. The same writer savs: The American squadron, under Com. Stockton, have or ders to take possession of St. Francisco and Monterey, and lo hold those places against all opposition. The War Xeivs. We ayain occupy a large portion of our paper with intelligence from the seat of war, which will be read with interest. rVhtin on the Rio Grande, we presume, will soon be at an end. Much, however, may have to be done in other quarters before the war is over. From Vera Cruz. The Locomotor mentions a report which was current in Vera Cruz on the Cth of May, that the American fleet were to attack the Castle of Ulua, and adds that the greatest vigilance and activity prevail ed among the garrison of the city and the castle. Reward of Merit. On Tuesday of last week the President nominated Gen. Taylor for the brevet rank of Major General, which nomina tion was immediately confirmed by the Senate. Gen. Ta'yor had previously held the ccir.x'.rr'cr. cf a Bri?rdler. Jesclt Chaplains. It is said the President has appointed as ehaplains in the army, Father John Mc Elroy, of Frederick, Maryland, and Rev. Mr. Rue, of Georgetown College two of the most distinguished Jesuits in the United States, and that Bishop Hughes has been tendered a similar appointment. The National Fair. From what we can learn, the recent exhibition at Washington was the great, est alTair of the kind that ever came off, either in our own country or in Europe. An article on the subject, copied from the Na tional Intelligencer, will be found on first TVarirltSi the Indians. The New Orleans papers contain re" ports that the Cherokee 'Indians on the I frontier of Texas had assumed a warlike attitude and were about rising in arms against the United States. Allegheny County. The Whigs and Antimasons of Alle gheny have put in nomination Moses i Hampton, Esq., for Congress, and A. Ililands, T. J. Bigham, D. McCurdy and J. S. Wilson for Assembly. The Locusts. The locusts have made their appear- j ance in great numbers west of the moun tains. The country between the Alleghe ny and Laurel Hill summits is never visi ted by them. Why not? CS7""The chairman of the Post office Committee in the Senate stated on Tues day, that no change was contemplated in the present rates of postage. Louisiana. The Legislature of Louisiana adjourn ed last week until the second Monday in January, so as to avoid the oppressive ness of a summer session. Major General Scott. The people will learn with no Iitde as tonishment and indignation, that an at tempt is now being made at Washington, to deprive that brave and gallant defender of his country in the time of peril, Gex. Scott, of the position he won by volor, and holds by rank, at the head of the ar my. The enmity of the Administration to this noble, devoted Patriot, has long been known and observed; and the peo ple only wait for a full and complete de velopement of the plan long since concoc ted in the secret councils of iniquity, and now about to be consu mated, to arise and drive treason and the conspirators from the Capitol. They are waiting anxious ly for the political guillotine to fall, that vengeance may be dealt upon the worse than Tories who have dared to aim a dagar at the heart or laurels of the scar- CO worn hero of Niagara. In a few days we hope to be able to give a full account of the dark scheme of persecution that has been for some time in operation at Washington, against this beloved and de voted friend of our country. Pa. Tel. Lewder at the Rio Grande. A let ter from Charleston fives the following accouut of the causes which led to the capture of Lieut. Deas : "It appears that Lieut. Deas was offi cer of the da-, and it was customary for the American band to perform the nation al airs, when the Star Spangled Banner was lowered in the evening. This con cert of sweet sounds attracted the atten tion of the Mexicans on the opposite side, and crowds assembled on the banks of the river to listen to the strains of music, among them were many ladies. Lieut. Deas became enamored with a beauty, and signs and tokens of affection pass ed between them; on the same evening like another Lcander, he plunged into the Mexican Hellespont after his hero, and no sooner had he landed on the other side than he was taken as a prisoner. Love and not valor or friendship, prompted him to swim across the river.' How puny and contemptible do politi cal tricksters appear, when contrasted with such men as Major Ringgold! how heartless the demagogue who would un necessarily involve his country in war, in which brave hearts must bleed, and the truly patriotic men become victims. Where are the reckless politicians of Congress who would war for "the' whole of Oregon or more;" and who prate about handling England as a "help less infant?" Are they now seen, sword in hand, assisting to repel an inferior foe from our soil, and courting honor at the cannon's mouth? No they brag, but do not perform: they kindle the flame, and thrust others forward to extinguish iu they talk bravely of deeds of arms, but arc careful to keep out of the way of harm to themselves: they raise the whirl wind, but avoid the storm. We would direct such men to the tomb of Major Ringgold, to learn a lesson of patriotism and duly. Lan. Ex. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot tells the following: "I learn that Mr. Pakenham, the British Minuter, has purchased the mag nificent suit of chamber furniture exhibit ed at the Fair, and valued at 8,000 ! Some say he intends presenting it to his Sover eign Queen Victoria, as a sample of what the Yankee mechanics can do. 0;hers say the Minister; who is a single man,' intends being single no longer. At alii events, the ladies at the Fair insist upon i'. iit Mr. Pakenham must ccw rnsrrv." Iron S team Ship s. Twelve additional Iron steam "ships are to be built by our Government, to be employed, no doubt in the Mexican war. A portion of these ships, at least, Pitts burgh may fairly claim the building of. The frigate Allegheny, now preparing for launching, will float a proud monument, if we may be allowed so to speak, of Pittsburgh materials and Pittsburgh work men; and this turn out from Mr. Romlin son's ship yard will fairly challenge comparison with any similar work of the kind in the world. This yard will am ply repay the time and trouble of a pro longed visit, by the view of 'its various, costly and multiplied machinery, adapted expressly to Iron ship building. Pitts. Arner. APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESI DENT. By and with the advice and consent of the Se7iale. Seth Bartox, of Louisiana, to be Solicitor of the Treasury, vice Charles B. Penrose, removed. Georoe W. Sxeed, to be postmaster at Florence, Alabama, vice Joshua D. Coffee, removed. During the battles of the 8th and 9th, Gen. Taylor headed his troops in the most cool and gallant manner. His es cape from hurt seems almost a miracle. He has won the hearts of his soldiers by his willingness to share with them the most imminent perils. His motto is, "I wish no man to go where I am not wil ling to lead." He has been dubbed " Old Rough and Ready ."Pic.
