The President of the United States,
in his reply to the address of Mayor Da
vies :it Baltimore on Tuesday, said :
The purpose of my brief visit is to
pay my respects to my fellow-citizens
of Baltimore and of the Northern Sec-
tion of this country. Had I postponed
it beyond the present summer, it is not
. probable that any other convenient op
4 portu-nity to mike it would liave oe

official service, at the close of which I

A LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR.
from the cixcixnati "signal."
The circumstances tinder which the
following letter was received by the Edi
tor are regarded as a warrant for its pub
lication. "We felt it our duty, when the
first demonstrations were made in favor
tof Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, to
dwell upon the subject at considerable
length. We were desirous that some of
the suggestions contained in our article
should meet the eye of General Taylor,
and therefore enclosed it to his address,
"Willi a lew words of reference to our po
sition as a journalist. In reply to that
communication we have received the ad
mirable and significant letter which we
take pleasure in laying before our readers:
Headquarters Jlrmy of Occupation,
Camp near Monterey., May 18. 1847.
Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter, with the enclo
sure of yoar editorial, extracted from the
'Signal" of the 13th of April.
At this time my public duties command
o fully my attention that it is impossible
to answer your letter in the terms de
manded by its courtesy, and the inipor
lance of the sentiments to which it alludes:
nei tli er, indeed, hare I the time, should I
feol myself at liberty, to enter into the
few and most general subjects of public
policy suggested by the article in question.
My own personal views were better with
held till the end of the war, when my
usefulness ss a military chief, serving in
the field against the common enemy, shall
no longer be compromised by their , ex
pression or discussion in any "manner.
From many sources I have been ad
dressed on the subject of the Presidency,
and I do violence neither to myself nor to
my position as an Officer of the Army,
fey aeknnwledglnir to ynu, as I have done
to all who have alluded to the use cf my
name in thisexahed connexion, that mv
services arc ever at the will and call of
the country, and lh.il I am not prepared
to say that I shall refuse if the country"
calls me to the Presidential office, hut
that I can and shall yield to no call that
does not come from the spontaneous ac
tion and free will of the nation at large,
and void of the slightest agency or my
own.
For the high honor and responsibili
ties of such zn office, I take this occasion
to say that I hare not the slightest aspira
tion. A much more tranquil and satis
factory lif, cfter the termination of my
present duties, awaits me, I trust, in the
society of my family and particular
friends, and in the occupations most con
" genial to my wishes. In no rase can I

The course of the Railroad company j

INTERESTING NEWS FROM VE
RA CRUZ.
correspondence of the picaytne.
Vera Cruz, June 13, 1847.
Yesterday another train arrived here
from Jalapa, after having run the gauntlet
under the protection of about 153 sick,
wounded, and discharged soldiers.
It was not Jintil they arrived within
seven miles ot the National Bridge that
thev had anv idea of beinj molested, nor
had they any news of Col. Mcintosh's
command ; but, learning that a large body
of guerillas would await them on the
morrow at certain positions on the road,
they concluded to push forward to the
bridge that night, and, if possible, pass
ihose places before the guerillas coukl
concentrate their forces. Accordingly,
thf y arrived at the bridge about 1 1 o'clock
at night, which they found barricaded and
guarded by guerilla "sentinels, who fled
on their appToavh. Here they encamped
for the night, but, unfortunately, just as
they were starting off the next morning
they were fired into by about twenty
Mexicans from a height, killing three or
four men. They saw a large number of
men on the heights further off, and there
is no doubt but that if they had not come
on as far as they did the night before,1 the
whole oarty would have been cut off.
About six miles this side of the bridge
they met Gen. Cadwalader's command.
No encounter had taken place since Gen.
C. joined Col. Mcintosh,' but active
preparations were being made to proceed
on the journey immediately, and, if pos
sible, play the guerillas a Yankee trick.
For this purpose Gen. C. has sent nearly
all his dragoons by a circuitous . route of
several miles to the rear of the supposed
position of the guerillas, thereby, if pos
sible, to cut off their retreat, while he
walks into their affections on this side
with his infantry ; and he has no doubt
ere this given them something to remem
ber him by. I learn that he had ex
prcftFe.l his intention of following them
up so long as there is any hope of settling
the old score with them, and we feel sa
isfied, from his well known energy, that
he will keep his word.
Gen. C. sent down by the tram the
sick and wounded of his command, and
all the supers and merchants who had
gone up with goods under the protection
of the detachment.
An order reached Jalapa last Tuesday
for the evacuation of that place within
the space of six days after the receipt of
that order, the sick, wounded, and public
property all to be removed to Perote,
which will he the pnneipal depot on the
route to Mexico. This move appears to
be sincerely felt by the inhabitants of Ja
lapa, many of .whom are" making1 prepara
tions to i:irc with their families for a
s;:fer part of the country, if such a phce
van ic iuuim ,
Those who remain will be entirely at
the mercy of the guerillas, and those
who have shown the le.-vst favor to the
Americans, either from pood will or ne
cessity will receive no mercy at the
hands of these cut-throats. - :
I am almost ashamed to bother you
with rumors, but it has been reported
here by nearly all the officers and men
who came down with the train, that this
iepotis to be immediately removed from
this city to Tuspan ; that a road is now
being opened between Puebla and that
place, and that all communicatiou will be
cut off between this city and the interior
very soon, and I must admit that it looks
a Hide plausible, although up to this time
I cannot learn that any orders have reached
the authorities here to that effect. That
such a road can be opened, bringing the
two points within a distance not exceed
.i w .w .avu-
mg seventy-five miles of each other, there
is no doubt. : ,
lsnououbt. v ,
Vessels are daily arriving with troops,
and there are now about I.Oflfl Bt ?mr.
ready to proceed to the interior.; rntof '
them are companies belonging to the dif
ferent new regiment.

Cadwalader left there to proceed on his
journey, and they report that on the 12th
they heard the report of fire?nns m the
direction of Cerro Gordo, and from all ap
pearances there is no doubt that this com
mand had to fight every foot of its way to
Jalapa. The loss of the Mexicans was
no less than forty, while ours, as far as
heard from, is one killed and eighteen
wounded.
Pueela, Mexico, May 28, 1847.
Gen. Scott arrived here this afternoon
with an escort of some two hundred dra
goons and fifty rifles under Col. Harney,
and has taken up his quarter at the
palace.
In the affair at Amozoque, when Gen.
Worth was advancing upon Puebla, San
ta Anna commanded his cavalry sup
posed to be near 3,000 in number in
person. Col. Duncan gave them some
thing like seventy round shot fronjr his
battery; and Major Bonneville, with a
detachment, , was enabled to reach a po
sition from which he gave them a severe
fire of musketry. Near seventy Mexi
cans were killed or wounded, .and the
scampering of the rest is represented as !
amusing in the extreme.
The command here has been annoyed
by continued rumors of an attack by troops
from Mexico, aided by a rising of the in
habitants of the city ; but the most active
measures have been taken to guard a-
gamst surprise. '
Fuebla, May 30, 1847.
Intelligence was received yesterday
from the city of Mexico up to the day be
fore, (the 28th.) Santa Anna on that
day submitted to the Congress a formal
resignation of his office as President ti
p . . . . . i
lerino, and the members oi Dotn nouses
went at once into session to deliberate
upon the matter.
The result of the new election for
President is not yet known, but the o
pinion gains ground that Herrera will be
the successful candidate.
There are no troops between this and
the city of Mexico, nor are there any tor
tificattons . in process of construction
either at Rio Frio or El Penon. What
with the National Guard, tlie Indians un
der Alvarez, the Guanajuato troops under
Cortazar, and the odds and ends under
Valencia and other generals, there may
be some 25,000 badly armed and equip
ped at the capital. All was doubt, hesi
tation, and confusion among the officers,
and no one knew what to do. This is
the latest and most reliable intelligence.
Puebla, June 3, 1747.
It is said that Almonte has been sen
tenced to be shot at the capital for hold
ing treasonable correspondence with one
of our Generals. He is certainly in
prison, but I hardly believe he will be
shot. There was another revolution at
the city of Mexico two or three days
since -at least such is the report -but it
was put down by Gen. Bustamente al
most immediately. The originators of it
are friends of Gen. Farias, and, as is sup
posed, of peace with the United States;
and one of their cries was, "Death to San
to Anna." By the way, the story now
is, that the Mexican Congress will not
acceplihe resignation of Santa Anna. . Of
course there was some trick in his resig
nation. Puebla, June 3, 1817.
Our force here, in all, is about 6,000
men, with COO wagons, and near 5,000
horses and mules. Two days ago it was
thought that Gen. Scott would . move im
mediately on the capital, but I thiuk this
morning he will remain here three or
four weeks, at the expiration of which
time he will . not only have slightly in
creased his army, . but will have all his
... liuiiiuu. kjdiiia .Aim
has resigned the presidency, and the act
exrhe much c,,i, 1. i w.
norses in good condition. Santa Anna
excites much astonishment here. vWe
have not been advised what action the
Congress has taken noon ib nh;
Many reisoj arc alleged for -the resig.l
nation, but the most plausible I can devise!
are his wish to attest his popularity with!
the Congress, or a desire to be behind the :
scenes wheu the curtain rises from the
first act of negotiation.
I was much surprised to find the church
party here so much opposed to Santa An
nar: Amongst theSart Augustine' monks
and friars 1 do. not believe he has a friend.
Herrera is the favorite of the clergy. Yes
terday a friend of mine, who speaks

when he told them that we were in favor 5

' FROM CE.-TAYLOR'S ARM Y.
WEKSPONDtNCE of tub. k. o. picayune.
" Monterey, Mexico, May 30, 1847.
When I wrote you last we were" full of
expeu,lum fc, san Luis, nd active
Drep3rationg were making ,or a raarch at
an rJv but J10W cvcry thing :is
tnkd in the hcadl - Seven often red-
ments have received orders to repair to
Vera Cruz and Join Gen,; Scott,, .which
completely stri ps , Gen. Taylor of; the
iroops'now at trie Brasos who were to
, powerless.. r- , ,
jit would be utterly useless to attempt
an' ad vance, into the interior with less
than six thousand men, and it would re
quire at least two thousand to keep open
the line of communication from Saltillo to
Braso3. If this last order , is complied
with, as it must be of course, Gen. Tay
lor's whole force will consist of the Virginia,.-Massachusetts,
North Carolina,
and Mississippi regiments, six companies
of regular artillery, one regiment of dra
goons, one regiment of Texan horse, and,
say, one balallion cf volunteer cavalry,
composed of re-enlisted volunteers. These
will scarcely number 5,000 all told, and
to leave garrison forces wilt reduce the
column to 2,000. With this force it
would be quixotic to attempt to move,
and you are well aware that it is a matter
of great uncertainty when a sufficient
number of troops can arrive at the Biasos.
Thus Gen. Taylor i prevented from
bringing an arduous, hard-fought cam
paign lo a brilliant termination.
; ? The abandonment of the San Luis ex
pedition is the topic of conversation and a
cause of universal regret. 1 believe Gen.
Tavlor freely admits ihe necessity of
Gen. Scott's having more troops and
speedily, and can only regret that a' suf
ficient number of troops have not been
forWarded.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
The steamer James L. J)n has
brought to New Orleans one day's later
accounts from Vera Cruz, being to the
afternoon of the 16th instant.
The most important part of her intelli
gence, as we learn from the l)rltut is the
Mattering prospect of peace which is rep
resented by a verbal report, that, before
the steamer sailed, information had been
received at Vera Cruz that Generals
Scott and Worth, with the main body
of the army, had advanced as far as Rio
Frio without opposition, and were met at
that place by a deputation from the capi
tal with propositions for peace. The
tenor of these propositions is not known,
bul they were of such a nature that Gen.
Scott refused lo accept them, and was
determined to push on his forces to the
capital. It was supposed, however, from
the deep anxiety fell by the new govern
ment to stay the march of our forces on
ihe capital, lhat further concessions would
be made to Gen. Scott before he took
up his line of march from Rio Frio.
Tampico has been threatened with an
attack from the Mexicans, who were 're
ported to be 1,500 strong in die vicinity
of the city.
On the night of the 13th instant, a de
monstration was made by Mexicans in
Tampico to rise. The American author
ities, however, had timely information of
the contemplated movement, and to sup
press it, if attempted, called out the troops,
who lay on their arms all night.' There
was then no demonstration of revolt
made. .
On the 15th instant, a party of Mexi
can lanccr3 attacked the outposts at Tam
pico and drove the sentinels into the
eity. On the 16th a party of Rancheros
attacked the pilot station, and were greeted
by a discharge from half a dozen mus
kets, when they retreated

Dr D. JAYNE. Dear Sir: I feet
bound to you and the public, to avail my
self of ihis opportunity of einng publici
ty lo the extraordinary effects of your
expectorant on myself. Having been
afflicted for several years with a severs
cough, hectic fever, and its concomittant
diseases, I seemed only doomed to lin
ger out a short bul miserable existence.,
until the tail of 1839, when being cvr
severely attacked, ahd having resorted t
all my former remedies, and the pre
M-ripti-ms of two of the most respectable
physicians in ihe neighborhood, ithai
deriving any benefit, or the cond ition
of surviving but a few days, or weeks at
farthest, when the last g'eam f bopo
wat ab. ut to vanish, I had recommended
to me ynr Expectorant, and blessed
by thai I!eing who does all things ia Ihe
use of ihe means and contrary to the
exjeriation of my physicians and friends
I was in a few djys raised from my bed,
and was enabled, by the use of a bottle,
io attend in my business, enjoying iince.
better health than 1 had for ten years
previous, James V. Estill.

of IWea'.hinj. and every other disease of
the lungs, 1 purchased two bottles of it,
and atn happy to inform ynu, and all
the sons and daughters of affliction, lhat
it immediately suppressed the cough re
moved the pain and difficulty of breathing
and produced a free and easy expectora
tion, and verv soon effected a complete
cure.

Baldness and loss of Hair is caused
by a want of healthy action in the ves
sels which throw off the perforation
from the head. When these vessels are
weak or deceased, ih perspiration is
thick and clammy, and adheres la the
mouths of the pores, and eloga them op.
ai.n dries and forms scurf and dandruff.
L.ss blood is then carried to the roots of
the hair, and for want of which the hair
hs not sufficient nourishment, and con
sequently becomes dry and harsh, and
begins insensibly to fall off, which, con
tinuing to increase, eventually produces
baldness. Restore the capillery vessels
of the head to their former healthy cir
culatien, and fine silky new hair will
make its appeararce, which will increase
in quantity and volume, until the hair be
comes thick and healthy.
Jayne's Hair Tonic is the only prepa
ration that has ever been known to pro
duce new hair on bald heads, which it
has done in innumerable instances, snd
will seldom fail if properly and perseve
nngly used,
From he Rer. Dr. Babcock, formerly
President of Waterville College, Me.
Froin intimate personal acquaintance
with Dr. D. Javne, a regular student of
ihe Medical University of Pennsylvania,
and an experienced, successful practi
lihner of medicine I was prepared to ap
preciate the numerous testimonials in fa
vor of bis different medical preparations,
much more highly than the great majori
ty of those which arc extensively eulo
gised. On trial of them in my own fa
mily, and some of them personally, I
hae more than realized these favorable
anticipations. They are what they pro
fess to be not quack medicines- bat
skilfully prepared antidotes fur seme of
ihe most affiie ive of human diseases, I
know thai thev are highly esteemed, and
frequently ,resrrtbed, by some of the
most respectable of the regular practi
tioners of medecine in this city and else
where, and I do nnl hesitate tocommend
then as a valuable addition to our inat
ria medica. and a safe, as well as etfli
rentlv useful remedy for tha diseased,
