Susquehanna County Bank.
We find in Mearson's Bank Note Reporter, a coun
terfeit -detector—the following paragraph :
. "Our aim, in conducting the " Reporter," is the pub
lic good. The intere As of banking associations are
nought to us compared with those which we have as
sumed to protect. We are sustained by the laborer, the
mechanic,-the tiader. r and the merchant, and this very
large class Of the population rely upon us for the truth,
let it bear brevity or lightly where it may. The truth they
shall always have in reference to every thing withinour
sphere. We shalt attempt no panics that we may de
spoil the laborer of his toil-earned dollar, one shall toe
recap him in temporary security :hat be may awake at
last and find it worthless."
Yet in the face and by the side of this fair outstart, is
the following:—
SrSgrEIIAZINA Cntr'•rt ILVIC.—We are pleased
to learn from the •• Northern Dernorna" that this hank

We have, hitherto. quilted it douhtful, but-shall be glad
`to find that we have been in error."
The Bank Note “ Reporter " bar heretofore quote I the
Susquehanna county Bank. IN dnuldful—but now a
change comes over the spirit of its dream," at.d it is
satisfied that it wax never in better condition than at
the present-time." This we will admit, for il Meer was
eolrent, but we assert that the authority of the Northern
Democrat, which it now gives, is not correct; the Northern
Democrat—has not—certainly not lately—endorsed" the
character and credit of this Bank. Wo believe they will
not do it ; and as to Col. Lusk's paper we are sure they
have no claims upon him, since he went to Harrisburg
to procure their charter, and never ge.d his pay fur !
unless it is very recently.
The "• Bank Note Reporter" objects to a New Jrr ey
Bank because they have on hand in specie only one.
fifth of their acknowledged liabilities, or 20 cents on a
dollar. This is right, but before the editor or any one
connected attempted to bolster up an galvanized, bank
rupt concern, they should have examined the report of
the Cashier of the Susquehanna Bank to the Auditor
General in December last, which exhibits the amount
of specie on hand, to redeem its notes at $4,873 11, or riot
enough to redeem one dollar in twenty of its circulation ;
being four times as bad as the New Jeleey shop.
If the public again lose by the Susquehanna Bank, it
shall not be our fault. The history of banks and bank
ing in Northern Pennsylvania exhibit- the h,diousness
. of our present banking laws, protecting capital in the
most corrupt schemes of plunder and peculation upon
those least able to bear it—farrilers and mechanics—and
enjoying immunity through soulless, worthless and irre
sponsible corporations.
The history of the Susquehanna County Bank would
exhibit in all its beauties, shades and ',natures, the tier,
progress and sudden end of the species ;'the swindle in
the sta- t (upon money from other bank', borrowed for an
hour to svrear upon) in paying in the per cent. upon the
capital stock; the availability of the capital stock; the
shifts and turns to keep up appearances and procure

would be a:rounding to those who are not acquainted
ith banking and banks. We shall "cry aloud and

Sun has seen a letter from Muntirey. dated the

says that Gen. Taylor selected Agua Nueva fnr
a field fight with Santa Anna's whole army,
and that Gen. Marshall, ow the day named, left
Monterey with four pieces of artillery. and .all
the disposable forces. to juin Gen. Taylor, who
was then hourly expecting an attack from Santa
Anna. Prism_ the tenor of the letter, it would
seem that Gen. Taylor had selected his ground

- THE LAST INTELLIGENCE Feow TICS SEAT
nF Wan..—We published yesterday, under - the
Telegraph head, the hot accounts from the Bra
zos on the Ith lust. We find in the New Or
leans papers. something like an• attempt to re.
duce the confused rumors into order, add to •
thrJw some light upon the obscure intelligenee
lately received. Nothing of certainty can be
known, however, until further advice, shall be.
received. Conjectures - only can be indulged
in for the present ; those we find in the New
Orleans Bulletin and Bee favor the views we
have expressed of . Taylor's- present position.
The requisition fur volunteers, it will be
seen. comes not from Gen. Taylor; but from
Col. Curtis, at Camargo, fur the defence of the
Rio Grande, (where are public property and
stores amounting to six , millions of dollars.)
and to open the communication with Taylor.
This-is a very essential difference in the im
portance to be attached to that fact.- Had it
come from Gen. l'aylor, it would have given
credibility in some measure to the wi-rat re•
ports which have been circulating for some•
days past, of the great loss that his army had
suffered. It at least would have. shown that
Gen. Taylor himself considered his situation
a very perilous one.
At the present uniting nothing further has
been heard from Taylor since the 22,1 of Feb
ruary. Cie day on which the battle is said to
have been fought. There come a report from •
Tampico, on the 2d inst.. of; an encounter be
tween Gen. Minon. with five hundred Mexi
cans, and. Gen. Taylor, in which the former is
&treated, which may possibly explain all the
other rsportsby way of the Rio Grande. Tam
pico is 400 miles nearly from Monterey. and
the news which was received on the Ist inst..
at Tampico, supposing ii to have been the af
fair of the 22d inst., had time to reach there in
nine days. It would reach Tampico sooner
than Brazos, now that the connection between
the latter place and Monterey is cot off. - f But
it is useless to speculate upon this subject with
the little light that we have, A day or two
will probably-give us the troth.
There is one thing very evident. that at Ca
merger. where all these reports first Caine from,
there is an extraordinary excitement and alarm,
which may account for the extravagant stories
which they have set afloat. The call of Col.
Curtis fur 50,000 volunteers, and the prepara
tions being made at that place all show that
such a feeling of excitement exists. There
meet have been alarming fears indeed, when
fifty thousand men were deemer: necessary for
tH emergency.
r. [From the New Orleans Bulletin.'
We have had a conversation with a highly
intelligent officer of the army. who has been
attached to General Taylor'S staff ever since he
entered Mexico, and who left Saltillo on the
4th ultimo. Ile informs us. that there is no
practicable pass by which Santa Anna could
possibly get into General Taylor's rear with
artillery, and that if he attempted to attack our
army with infantry alone, lie feels assured he
Would be repulsed, even if he had a great su
periority of force, as Gen Taylor has four bat
teries of flying artillery, (one of them consisting
of 24 pounder / howitzers,) with a full comple
ment of regulars to serve and manage them.—
Ile also expresses a belief that, though 'Gen.
Taylor might fall back from Nueva to Sabin°,
he would not retreat from the latter point, with
out first having a battle. Gen. Taylor's force
does not exceed 5000 men, all of which are
volunteers, except the artillery and about 150
dragoons, under Col. May. Besides the above
force, there are 1.1300 men at Monterey. which
latter place is represented as being in an excel
lent elate of defence, and capable of successful.
ly resisting any force the enemy can bring
ag hat it.
According to the present tames, it would
appear a considerable, farce of the enemy had
passed to Gen. Taylor's flank by Victoria. but
which seems principally to have been cavalry..
Should Santa Arum have sent his artillery also
by that route. his means of attack. and ranee
gently his chalices of success, will have been
greatly increased—there is no doubt he has a
large force with him, as he never would have
attempted offensive operationa against our army,
except with a great superiority of numbers.
It will be seen by Dr. Jarvis' statement. that
nothing had yet been learned as to an actual
battle, and of course no foundation, for the 'finis;
ter report of pen. Taylor's heavy lbws, and
that the rumors on this head were confined to
the.cuttintr_off Of some trains or small detach-.

it would appear there was no interruption to the

that the enemy's force had only appeared on,

this would tend to strengthen the belief that the

• - TAMPICO. March 6, 1847.
Rumor follows rumor here .in such quick .
succession, that before we have time to digest
one another crowds it aside and both prove
eventually • untrue. Yesterday the city was
agog with the startling intelligence that Santa
Anna had attacked and defeated Gen. Taylor at
Agua Nueva. and even the names of some of
officers killed were given. .1 don't believea
word of it. although that we may soon expect
to hear of battles in. that section is reasonable.
Santa Anna really intends either to • hazard an
action at Ague Nueva or near that place. or
else is making a feint with a large force to-dis
tract attention from certain designs upon other
points.

'that a pronunciamento or revolution\ headed

that an editor of one of the papers bad been

From Santa Fe—Confirmation of the lumina

The St. Louis. Republican of the 11th saps.
that Lieutenaut.Abert, whose.letter we publish• 1
ed a few days ago. and Mr. H. Hoffman. ol
Baltimore. reached St Louis on the 10th. The
editor of •the Republican says t
We have not seen-either of those 'gentlemen,
but we understand that Mr.,Hoffman expresses
no doubt of the correctness of the news from-
Taos, of the insurrection and murder of Gov:
Bent. and of other Americana then there. The
information came to him from different sources,
all agreeing in the details ; and at Bent's Fort.
where news of the murder had previously been
received, they were satisfied of its correctness.
The signal for theoloody work was given about
daylight, and forthwith the murderers, who had
concealed themselves in different parts of the
village. fell upon their victims, all unprepared
for defence, and despatched them.
Tirley's distillery, or what may be termed
the Llock-house. was defended for two days
against the assaults of the enemies, but at last
they underminded immates attempted
to escape by jumping from the top, and in their
defence and kill, seven out _of eight persons
were killed. The man who escaped feigned to
be dead, but at the proper time started for his
home, some miles distant. When he reached
there he sent expresses to Bent's Fort, inforin
ing them of the state of affairs at Taos. An ef
fort was making by Wm. Bent to raise a force
to go against the insurrectionists. but it was
somewhat doubtful whether it would be success
ful.
The Revielle says:
It is supposed that about fifty persons have
recently perished on the route to Santa Fe,
from starvation and exposure, They were
principally persons who had gone out in the
employment of Government as teamsters.
Our correspondent states that an express was
sent to Bent's Fort with an escort to meet Capt.
Murphy. and protect him against an attempt of
the Mexicans to.aeize the Fonda. This move
ment has proved, not doubt, to be a wise precau
.tion.

IRELAND AND HER DISTREXS.—The follow
irg letter;ezplains itself in phrase too distress
ing to need comment :
ANNADUF7, Drumsna, Feb. 15, 1847.
I venture to write to you, in the hope that
you may perhaps be able to interest some of
your friends at Liverpool and elsewhere, so as
to assist in alleviating the unprecedented Irish
distress which abounds on every, side of us.—
In ibis parish (as your brother can testify)
deaths from starvation have become so nu
merous, that they have ceased to be recorded,
and coningr's inquests. which were at first
resorted to. are now seldom held, on account
of the frequency of the cases that call for them.
There are. on a moderate cpmpination, /ear
thousand .persons in ibis parish utterly desti
tute ; in fact, three-fourths of the population
know not what it is to eat a regular meal once
in the twenty-four hours, and many are forty.
eight,houts without tasting food—and ibis, not
only among the class whom we once consid
ered paupers, but the small farmers and even
the respectable householders. A neighboring
gentleman told me yesterday that a horse of
his having died - from disease last week, the
people came in crowds begging for the flesh,
and though he tried to dissuade , them from us
ing such food, they persisted in carrying it
away. A poor ~man was found dead en the
road, neat your brother's house, on Sunday.--
In short,,we are living in-the midst of famine,
destitution and deith.
I may mention that scarcely any provisions,
are to be had in the country. We are clepen
dent on distant markets for our supplies, :-and
our inland position. so remote from seaports.
