My connexion with this paper has erased, the establishment has passed into other hands, and I retire from the post vjiicli during the last four and a half years I have occupied, to seek in some other pursuit a livelihood and the means of re cruiting my declining energies. In taking leave of my numerous pat ron?, I cannot forbear thanking them for the very liberal manner in which they have supported the establishment whilst it has been under my control, and for the many evidences which I have received of their regard for mc personally. The Herald will in future be published by my son, Samuel J. Rov, who, I am prepared to say, will steadily support the great political principles to which this pa per has always been devoted. Ia whatever sphere it may be my lot to move hereafter, I shall ever remember with gratitude the many favors I have re ceived from the people of this counfy whilst engaged in the publication of the Herald" and the 'Republican," and dial! cherish through life the friendship which hns been extended to me by those v ith whom I have been in daily inter coarse. Bv an arrangement entered into with the new proprietor, all dues for subscrip tion and advertising from and after the 13th of last month, will be collected by him; whilst such as have paid in advance will receive a credit on his books for the nrriount of their respective advancements. June 1, 1317. J. ROW. TO THE 1't BLlC. By the preceding notice it will be seen that the Herald has passed into the hands of the undersigned, by whom it will here after be published. In assuming the onerous and responsi ble duties of cditoi and publisher of a public journal, a sincere diffidence of my own abilities to discharge those duties, will deter me from making any promises in advance as to the future character of the paper. I may. however, be permitted to say," that whatever can be effected by on earnest and constant endeavor to make it worthy the confidence of its friends and deserving a continuance ol the patron age it has lvtherto received, shall be done. The political complexion of the Herald will remain unchanged. It will continue, as heretofore, to advocate the measures of the great Whig party of the Union, not merely because it is an organ of that par ty, but from a deep and abiding convic tion of the truth of its principles. It will a!?o, of course, continue its opposition to Lo'?ofocoism and its measure?, sincerely believing them to be hostile to the spirit of our free institutions, and destructive to the interests and prosperity of ike coun try. It shall be ray constant aim to ren dor it not only the earnest advocate of the political principles of the Whig party, tut also acceptable and useful to the gene ral reader a family paper as well as a political organ. The Whig nominees of the March Con Yention for Governor and Canal Com missioner shall continue to be cordially supported. It will be seen too, that we have placed the name of Zachary Tay lor at the head of our columns as candi date for President of the United Stales. This wc have done in accordance with the general feelings of the country, as well as the specially expressed choice of the Whigs of this county. With his name we have associated that of Andrew Stewart as Vice President. Gen. T. it is ascertained, we believe, beyond doubt is a Whig, "a Clay Whig." The vie torious leader of our armies abroad, and the champion of our interests and indus try at home, are therefore appropriately placed side by -side. These are our own first choice. We hold ourselves ready however, now and at all times, to abide the decision of the will of the people, and to yield our individual preferences to if. when fairly expressed, should they not coincide. . Regarding an efficient and thorough or ganization of the Whig party ia this county as of the first consequence toils uccess, this paper will advocate the nom inees of the parly. Measures will al ways be looked to, rather than men. Wi-.h this, brief expose of my views - - ) public journalist, determined to exert my best efforts to please and be usetul, yet mistrusting my ability to succeed to the extent I could desire, or the public might expect. Ia these etforls I hope to be ai ded by the friends of the establishment both in the way of subscriptions to the paper and of contributions to its columns. SAMUEL J. ROW. FROM SANTA FE AND CALIFOR NIA. FROM THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN OF 5IAT 17. Yesterday several gentlemen arrived, direct from Santa Fe and California, from whom we have gathered the following in formation : Lieut.JjWm. G. Peck, of the Topo graphical Corps, left Santa Fe in Compa ny with Messrs. Woods aud Sandford, and their party. At the time he left San ta Fe, Col. Price was still there, and all was quiet, but it was believed to be that sullen and. stubborn quiet which superior force alone compels. Although the in surrection, which we have heretofore no ticed, had been put down, it was the gen eral opinion that they only needed the aid of a competent leader to rise again, The civil government was going on trying the insurgents, Judge Beaubien presiding. Of the state of affairs at Santa fe, our correspondent says : "All is apparently quiet here, but every observing man knows that we are walk ing daily over a volcano, which is ready to burst upon us if an opportunity offers. As I said in a former letter, in peace or war, this country cannot be retained but by military force. We learn that Col. Doniphan intends to return to Missouri through Texas, If he does so before our troops arrive to relieve him, Chihuahua will fall again into the hands of the Mex icans." After Lieut. Peck was out some days from Santa Fe, he was joined by Mr, M' Knight, from Chihuahua ; Lieutenant Theodore Talbof, who went out with Col. Fremont; Lieut. E. Deal, of the li nked States Navy ; C. Toplin, United States Army ; Christopher Carson, Rob ert E. Russell, and others, from California. From those gentlemen we learn that the Court at Toas has condemned a number of the insurgents to be hung, and that e leven had been executed and a large number tehwDed. fcix were miner on the day that Lieut. Talbot passed through j Toas. These executions excited the Mexi cans very much, and when Mr. M'Knight passed through Vagas they were endeav oring to raise Volunteers for another in surrection. The Alcalde and other influ ential men were opposing the effort, but with what success remains to be t-ecn. Lieut. Talbot, Beal, and the other gen tlemen from California, left San Diego on the 25lh of February last. At the time of their departure Lieut. Col. Fremont was at Ciudad de Angeles, acting as Gov ernor of the Territory, under an appoint ment from Commodore Stockton. The Commodore had returned on board his ship, and had left that part of the coast. Col. Wm. II. Ruse'l.of this Slate, was acting as secretary of the Territory. Gen. Kearney was joined about the 9th of January, at San Diego, by Lieut. Col. Cooke, with the batallion of Mormons under his command. Great praise is be stowed on Colonel Cooke for the condi tion in which he brought his command in. It is said that all his men were in fine health, with their arms as bright as when they set out on the march in ex cellent discipline, and without any serious loss. Soon after being joined by Col Cooke General Kearney, with the Mormons and dragoons, proceeded to Monterey, where he was when our informant' left. J here he had been joined by the United Staies artillery from New York. We cannot learn from our informant that Colonel Stevenson's command had arrived. Com modore Shubrick had joined Gen. Kear ney at Monterey ; but we are unable to earn what their operations would be. The question of the right to act as Gov ernor of the Territory was still in dispute between General Kearney anOj Commo dore Stockton. It was understood that General Kearney intended setting out on his return about the 1st of July, but the state of affairs, it was supposed, might delay his departure. Some of the gentlemen named, we un derstand, are bearers of despatches to Washington. Our Correspondent in California writes from the city of the Angeles on the 2Gth of Januacy, as follows : "I am Secretary of State, and am now writing to you in the Government house 'of California, in a room of which I have 'my office. "Wc found Gen. Kearney here with instructions from the Secretajy of War to conquer the country, and institute a sivil government ; but Com. btockton, 'who was also here, maintained that the 'conquest had been made by him and Col. Fremont and, as an incident to it, the right of forming a civil government be- i t . i m . - T7" V. longeu to mm ; ana mat uen. iveauiy 'orders were absolute, because the busi 'ness for which he had come had been 'anticipated by others. Col Fremont as Governor, and myself 3 Sppretarv of State, and ordered the convocation of a Legislative -assembly V.Vi is to meet on the 1st day of w it w - - m March." Mr. Aitken, of Aberdeen, has taken out a patent for the manufacture of iron coach es. His trial omnibus, carrying nineteen persons, beside driver and cad, weighs only eleven cwt.

At the public meeting of citizens, held yesterday afternoon, the attention of the respectable and intelligent audience pre sent was riveted for upwards of an hour by a series of interesting remarks, deliv ered by the Hon. Andrew Stewart, of Fayette County, Pa. The theme of tha speaker was the contemplated railroad connection of Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and it was presented in a manner that made a deep impression of its importance to Baltimore on the minds ot his hearers. Wc publish the proceedings, together with a hasty and imperfect sketch of the remarks of Mr. Stewart, in another part of this morning's American. It will be 1 seen that a highly respectable committee of citizens has been appointed to visit Pittsburgh, and we learn that they will proceed thither to-morrow morning. Bait. American of Mav 26.
