BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.
From the correspondence which re
cently passed between the President of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
and the President of the Pittsburgh &
Connelsville Company, it is evident that
all idea of accomplishing a connection be
tween Cumberland and the head of the
Ohio has been abandoned for the present.
Mr. M'Lane, the President of the Balti
more & Ohio Company, speaks, for once,
without reserve, and says i is the de
termination of the Stockholders to con
nect their Work with the River in the vi
cinity of Parkersburgh or the mouth of
Fishing Creek. This settles the question
of a connection with Pittsburgh, at this
time, so far as the first mentioned Compa
ny is concerned; and as regards the other,
it is by no means likely that it will be
able very soon to complete a Road to the
Maryland line, unless it obtains aid, eith
er from the State or the Baltimore fc O
hio Company; and for neither of which
the prospect is just now very flattering.
We are inclined to think, too, that it will
Le some time before a continuous
Railroad will be constructed between
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
NEW RAILROAD PROJECTS.'
Jsmcc the loregomg article was put in
type, we have learned that petitions are
in circulation praying the Legislature to
incorporate a Company to construct a
Railroad from Chambersburgb, in this
State, to Wheeling, in Virginia. Should
such an act be passed, the assent of Vir
ginia would, as a matter of course, have
to be obtained before the Company could
locate the Road through that State.
We perceive also, that Mr. Darsie has
introduced into the Senate a Bill granting
to the Pittsburgh & Connelsville Compa
ny the privilege of connecting their Road
with the Central Railroad, and releasing
the latter Company from the obligation of
commencing their Road at Pittsburgh and
from constructing any portion of their line
west of that connection. .
By combining the separate interests, as
this Bill evidently contemplates, the object
of a continuous Railroad from Philadel
phia to Pittsburgh may, perhaps, be ac
complished.: THE TARIFF RESOLUTIONS.
We find in the Pennsylvania Intelli
gencer the following notice of the pnrt
taken by our Representative in the debate
on the Tariff Resolutions in the House.
Mr. Bushnell spoke at some length a
gainst the Resolutions.
"He was followed by Mr. EDIE, who
sustained . the resolutions and the Tarifl
bill of 1812, with his usual ability. He
commenced by deprecating the introduc
tion of the "thousand and one" irrelevant
matters; which had already "been drawn
into this debate. He couid not see their
bearing on the question at issue. He made
a correct statement of the difference be
tween the two Tariff bills, that of '42 and
46, and then he showed beyond perad
venture, the advantages which all the in
dustrial interests of the country derived
from the former, while the latter "was as
positively calculated to injure, , nay more,
to prostrate these interests. MrEdic ad
verted to the fact that all the speakers on
the other side of the question, had follow
ed in the wake of their party leaders in
this debate: That they had, one and all,
pointed, in some shape or other, to the 1
fact, that some of the articles used among
the more opulent portions of community,
were not taxed as heavy as some which
come within the prov iuce ; of the poorer,
mthe bill of 1812; that this feature of the
bill favored, the rich, and . proved beyond
controversy, the partiality of its suppor
ters for that class of community; and that
they were always legislating for these at
the expense of the poor. Mr. E. met this
oa its true ground, bv showing that the
article alluded to "were such... and nlv

Among the Whigs there are but two as

it is difficult to tell which will get the no

A GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
The Legislature of Missouri recently
passed resolutions calling upon the Gov
ernor for particular information relative
to his expedition to the Eastern cities last
summer, for the purpose of selling - State
bonds, and his charge for expenses. He
sold only six bonds, amounting to three
thousand dollars, and for expenses he
charges the State $625. In his reply he
says: -
"With due respect to the honorable mo-
ver.the answer is, that the expenses of the
Executive were various numerous--4too
tedious to mention' his breakfast, his
dinner or tea, when he had the time and
appetite to cat it an apple or an orange,
a lemonade or a sponge cake, a piece of
cheese or a cracker, a glass of brandy or
some old rye, when from hard travel,
much fatigue, and great want of sleep, he
was too unwell to take more substantial
food, or else from rapid travelling, had no
time to stop and get it the blacking of
his boots, or brushing the dust out of his
coat, or hiring a servant to hasten his din
ner, instead of forcing him to eat through
a series of regular courses hack hire
and omnibus hire, porterage and drayage

fare, on the lakes, gnlfs, rivers and bays

plied many times over, making, perhaps,
thousands in the trip of six thousand

the Executive a long list hard to get at,

Lieutenant W. A. Nichols,
This gallant young officer of the 2nd
Arlillery, has again left for the seat of j
war. with Col. Bankhead,and is now Ad
jutant of his regiment. The many testi
monials of esteem which he has received
for his unflinching bravery at Monterey,
where he won and obtained the honorable
notice of his immediate officer, General
Quitman, and of General Taylor in his
official despatches, ase as gratifying to his
friends as they must be causes of la' ? ble
pride to himself. But we do not . .-: in

Philadelphia, although most of his later

But it was not with this view that we
commenced this article for lie belongs
to Pennsylvania, and is cherished as such;
Lieut. Nichols on the third day of the
battle of Monterev, led one of the can
non of Bragg's battery into the streets of
Monterey, advancing foot by foot under a
galling fire, and resting at night by the
side of the piece in mud and under a hea
vy rain, to be re-awakened in the morn
ing by the opening batteries of the enemy.
When at last he gained the position he
was ordered to occupy, every man at the
run had been killed' but himself and a
o
private "named Levengood. The latter im
mediately jumped upon the carriage and
shouted "huzza for Pottsville and Lieut.
Nichols!" "Why, what do you know of
Pottsville.'" said the Lieutenant in aston
ishment. "Know!" said the gallant fel
low, "why, I'm from Pottsville used to
be a carpenter there, and worked for Joe
George, and "have done many a day's
work for your fattier!"- It was a strange
coincidence, that thousands of miles away
from home these two citizens of the same
village snould meet, flushed with the glo
rious victory, blackened by powder and
begrimed by the dust of a three days'
battle.
MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.
The New York Courrier des Etats
UniSfOi Saturday contains its usual val
uable summary of recent Mexican intelli
gence, which is accompanied with some
interesting comments, the more valuable
from the fact that the intelligent editor ot
thct journal enjeys peculiar facilities for
obtaining the most reliable and latest in
telligence from that region. '"We trans
late a few passages: . '
Letters received from Mexico by a
commercial house in New York, and to
which we have everv reason to give en
tire credit, assert that the real plans of
Santa Anna have an objact quite different
from the apparent one of protecting Sal-
tillo, and that his real aim is Tampico.
If this be so, the alarm of Gen. orth
may be explained by false demonstrations
made designedly in that quarter, in order
to draw off the American forces in that
direction, and thus effect a powerful di
version in favor of his real designs. - We
may add to this, that the intelligence from
Tampico announces vague apprehensions
of an attack on the part of the Mexicans,
which seems to give additional weight to
our supposition, and to confirm the old
adage; "There is always some fire where
.1 i-..
lucre is ciiiutvc.
In this connexion 'we should mention
that a letter received at Tampico, from
San Juan del Arrovo,: brings the positive
announcement that, ou the 10th of De
cember. Gen. Gonzales, at the head of
7,000 cavalry, was to set out for Victoria,
and from thence ultimately to direct his
course towards Tampico.' If this move
ment has been made, the Mexicans must
have met with the division under Gen
Patterson, which at the latest accounts,
had already crossed the. river San Fernan

the occupation of which post is a matter
of some importance' as the ht on the active, ardent and talented young men.

LATEST FROM GEN7. TAYLOR.
OFFICIAL. FROM "THE UXIOV."
Despatches have been received from
General Taylor, dated the 22d Decem
ber, near Monterey, representing that he
had left that place on the 15th, for Vic
toria, having previously put in motion the
troops destined for that point. At Monte-
morelos a junction was effected on the
17th with the 2d infantry and 2d Ten
nessee regiment of foot from Camargo,
and it was intended, with the whole force,
(3.500 raen. to march on the 19th for
Victoria. But. on the evenin? of his ar-
rival at Montemorelos, a despatch arrived
from General Worth, commanding at
! Saltlllo, with the intelligence that Santa
Axxa designed to take advantage of the
division of force towards Victoria, and,
by a rapid movement, to strike a heavy
blow at Saltillo; and, if successful, then
at General Wool's force at Parras. Un
der these circumstances, and with no
means of judging how far this informa
tion might be well founded, the General
returned to Monterey with the regular
force, in order to be in position to rein
force . Saltillo if necessary. The volun
teers under General Qcitmax, reinforced
by a field-battercy, were ordered to con
tinue their march and effect a junction
with General Pattersox, at Victoria,
while General Taylor returned to Mon
terey with General Twico's devision,
now increased by the 2nd infantry.
In the mean time General Bctler and
General Wool being advised by General
Worth of a probable attack upon his
position, moved rapidly to join bim wih
all the available force at Parras and Mon
terey, while orders were dispatched by
General Bctler to hasten up troops from
the rear. The latter General proceeded
in person to ' Saltillo, and assumed the
command, agreeably to instructions which
had been given by General I aylor before
ns departure, to meet a case like this.
General Taylor had proceeded beyond
Monterev, on his way to Saltillo, when
he was met on the 20th by a despatch
from the post, announcing the early arri
val of General W ool s column, and also
that the expected concentration and move
ment ot the .Mexican troops upon tiiat
position had not taken place; indeed, that
their advanced posts had rather been
withdrawn. Deeming the force there,
and soon to be at Saltillo, quite sufficient
to repel any demonstration at this season
from San Luis rotosi, General 1 aylor
did not think it worth while to throw for
ward General Twigg's division to that
place, and after resting it a day, designed
putting it again in march for Victoria, to
which point he was to proceeu nimseii.
General Patterson was supposed to be
then well on his march from Mataraoras
to Victoria; when his division, except the
Alabama rangers, (in garrison at Tampi
co,) will be brought together. With a
force holding in observation the passes
from Tula, the garrison at Tampico may
be reduced with advantage to the service.
KENTUCKY.
A bill to call a State Convention in
Kentucky for the revision of the Consti
tution has passed the House of Represen
tatives by a vote of 81 to 17. It had
previously passed the Senate by a vote
of 30 to 8. The question will be sub
mitted to the people at the general elec
lion in August next, the sanction of the
popiilar vote betng necessary to confirm
the vote of the Legislature. This sub-
ject, we believe, has been agiiaieu ior
some time in Kentucky. A year or more
ago the Legislature refused to authorize
a Convention. From present appearan
ces, however, it would seem that a Con
vention will now be called after, due legal
observances. - -
