' BURNING OF TUE CREOLE! ♦DD;IT-lOICAL PARTICULAIi.B LIEUT. PARKER AGAIN We have already given the particulars of 'the burning of the Creole, the llfexican schooner moor. id close in the walla of San Jo — an de Ulloa; but a coritspondent - of the New Orleans Picayune has furnished the editors of that paper with some addi tioaal ineidente'rhieh areinteresting, and which may throw renewed lustre on the daring enter : , . • When the little party left the Somers at Sacri ficial they counted upon the setting of the moon before the moment of attack; but as the boat's crew - approached a point where the proximity to the etiemy made it as hazardous to pause as to proceed, the queen of the night was still beaming just above* cloudless horizon. .When within three or four boat lengths of the Creole, howerer, she sank •behind the distant highlands, but her die. appearance only served , to disclose leather danger in the-large revolving beacon light , of the castle. which, - atThe distance of less than one hundred —yards, thiew its intense glare directly upon the boat bne of the officers, in describing its ap pearance as he gazed upon the apparently innume. emble deeding paws as they turned one after ano ther.-reiziarked that they "looked to him like ren dietitian& illiminated wheelbarrows, going round and tound.!' Thus they could haidly hope toes elpeeletectiott,auppasing it was feasible to board at any; point. The little party ran upon the larboard bearnt cif the Creole,iand. 'passed within about seventy-five .yards of the British mail steamer Clyde, from which vessel they were.repeatedly hailed. The Clyde was fortunttely to windward , however, and was not at all incommoded or endangered by the operations about to be undertaken, - There were three men leaning"on the railing of the Creole as they came alongside, to whom Lieut. Parker, who - spoke their language like a native, represented himself as sent upon business by : a friendly mercantile' vessel lying at Sacrifictosj-- This quieted the Mexicans for a Moment, but, a clashing of the arms of the party, as they clamber ' ad pp the vessel's sides, atarmed them again, and they at once hailed their brother 'entices on the ~..-eistfir 'girdle. The alarm bell was rung,the.re Was •-• rapi d passingto and from the battlements, and a display of lights in different parts of the town; yet the little party persevered in their efforts, secured every soul on board, prisoners, and as our readers welt know set the vessel on fire. As 'they cast off from the burning vessel, acrd 'when still within pistol shot of the castle and with the muzzles of the huge guns plainly visible, the partY gave three hearty cheers: This' failing i to provoke a single gun, the impatience of the gallant tars vented itself in curses. It would appear that, the Mexicane, from the incessant ringing of bells,: ,must .have apprehended a general attack, and . were .too intently . engaged in mustering and , flying aboit to discover the little boat's crew. The whole rtf - fair appears afterwards, to have annoyed them im measurably, while at the same tine it srould go far to show that the guns of San Juari de Mina offer little protection unless the garrition hive vigi • lance enough to discover an enemy; and presence of mind to fire upon him after he is seen. Thy 'suspicions of the Mexicans, as might be expected, were aroused, and under the first impulse of exasperation. and reckless of reason or truth, they are said to have:gratuitously charged the En glish with aiding the Americans by hoisting, a light--ifalsehood hardly deserving a contradic tion. A light was hoisted by the. Somers, which the Idllll3l of the enemy must have magnifica into two. The Mexicans have hovrever become very vigilant atom the occurrence, and a few nights af terwards fired upon what must have Been some promineit rocks of the reef close by, mistaking them for lints!

With this view your favora ble attention is invited to the annexed report of the Secretary of War, which accompaniedurmes sage of the Bth inst. in which herecommends that ten additional regiments of regular . troopi should be raised to-serve during t.he war. Of the additional regiments of volunteers which have been 'called for from several of the States, some have been promptly raised, but this has not been the casein, regard to all. The existing law 'requiring that they should be- organized by the independent action of the State Governments, has in some instances occasioned considerable de lay, and it-is yet uncertain when the troops requi red can be ready for service in the field. . It is our settled policy to maintain, in time of peace, as small a regular army as the exigencies of the pUblic service will permit. In a state of war, notwithstanding the great advantage with which our rid unteer citizen soldiers can be brought into the field, the small regular army must be increas.. sed in its numbers in order to render the whole forceinore efficient. Additional officers as well as men then become indispensable. Under the circumstances a pecu liar propriety exists for increasing the officers, es-; . pecially in the higher grades. The number of such ; officers, who from age and other circumstances, are rendered incapable of active service in the field. has seriously impaired the efficacy of the Army. From the report - of the Secretary of War, it ap-1 pears that about two-thirds of the whole number of regimental Field officers are -ither permanently disabled, or are necessarily detached from their{ commands on other duties. The long enjoyment' of peace has prevented Ils from experiencing rriuchl embarrassment from this cause; but now in a state; awe; conducted in a foreign conntry, it has pro-1 ; duced serious injury to the *public service. An efficient organization of the Army, composed of regulars and volunteers, while prosecuting they year in Mexico, it is believed, would require the' appointment of a General officer to take the com mand of all our.militarg, forces in the field. Upon the conclusion of the war the services of such an officer would no longer be necessary, and should b‘dispenbed with upon the reduction of the i Army to a peace establishment. I recommend that provision be made by law for the appointment of such a general officer to serve' during the war. • It is respectfully recommended , that early action should be had by Congress upon the suggestions submitted for their consideration-as necessary to secure active and efficient service in prosecuting the war before the present favorable season for military operations in the enemy's country shall have passed away. JAMES K. POLK. W.isurscorox, Dec. 29, 1646. Ma. En:Talc—Being at leisure, I will 'give you a brief sketch of our journey, and all the incidents connected with it worthy of ndte, since u left the Iron City. After leaving the wharf at your city (as you are probably aware) we ran down the rivet to the distance of a couple of miles, when the boat land ed on thc opposite side of the river for the night; ~ ,-, and in the morning started back for the wharf,, where we had forgotten our muskets. After get ting every thing in readiness we again put off l from the land of our nativity, to embark in a war with a hostile nation, against whom we bad vol. unteered to serte in defence of our country. Every thing passed off smoothly until we reads ' led Cincinnati, at which place we were not per. mitted to land; the reason assigned for this was, that the several companies which preceded us had landed there, and by so doing lost several men. They were not satisfied, however, with this expla. nation, and were determined not to be foiled in their intentions. A meg was called, at which a resolution was adopte d,\reapectfully requesting the Colonel to permit both companies to go ashore, and did he not comply with their request, they would be compelled to take the matter into their own hands, and go ashore without permission: (it being Christmas day.) This was presented to the Colonel, of which he did not take the least notic• and in a few minutes after the boat was anchored out in the rive' and .all probability of getting ashore was at an end. in about two hours we sat down trs an excellent dinner, and shortly after wards left Cincinnati.l We arrived at Louisville on Saturday morning about 7 o'clock, but not being permitted to go ashore, I cannot speak particularly of the place— it presents a very unprepossessing appearance from the river. We did not stop, but proceeded on our way.immediately. On • Saturday afternoon a very unpleasant alter cation occurred between two of the members be. 'longing to Capt. Hill's Company, in relation to a Faro Bank which one of them owned, whom, he stated, had robbed him: and being in liquor, he ran down the cabin, exclaiming, "I am robbed! I am robbed!" and jumped upon a centre table and split it to - pieces. He was immediately arrested, tied with ropes, and placed under guard. On Sunday morning both companies were formed in a line in the cabin, when the several articles of War were read by the Adjutant in relation to the punishment liable to be imposed for riotous and disorifiiiiy con duct; immediately after this he was tried by a Court Martial. I have just been informed that the name of the person arrested is Jour( .L.M.syrrELD, and he was tried on charges Nos. 1 and 3, but it being his first offence he was acquitted, although he was inform ed by the Colonel that had be been tried by a Gen eral Court Martial be would have been shot. He dismissed him with some excellent advice. Yours. IL C, P. DIPVICOLTT SETTLED —The difficulty between Messrs.

A:tonics. It LW/113E, the Democratic candidate for the Ma ratty of our city. In the nomination of Mr. MiLwAnsal much to gratify his friends and to afro porters assurance of success. It wall about by no undue management, either self or of his friends,. but it was efre large majority of the delegates, ,haking votes for him under a full conviction th serving of their trust and confidence. It is true, that at this time there is . E atne cause to apprehend the defeat of a candidate of the Dem ocratic party. Our opponents flushed with suc cess in the last campaign, count upon another vie-. tory, and confidently expect our cliscomfitureon Tuesday next. The cantlidat4 of the vvhig party is in the field full of liope‘and confident in expec tation. IR thinks that his party will unite their efforts in his support and triumphantly elect him over every, opposing rival. We understand, too, that he calculates upon dissentions among our selves, w hich will keep away from the polls a large number of those who usually vote the democratic ticket if they will not throw them in to the ranks of the opposition, - nd that thus they will directly or indirectly promote his success,. But, fellow citizens, we will have learned :but little by experience if such a result take place. We have long known and practiced upon the measure. "IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH," and We are not about to abandon that measure now. .We . have exhibitions enough among our opponents of the folly of such a course; and have no fears that we too will be so unwise as to fall into an error so destructive of our best interests. Our opponents are broken into factions, and if we do not take ad vantage of their disseutions we deserve to fail. But it is'not alone as the nominee of,the demo cratic party that we present to you our candidate for your support. By his servicei in the councils for many years Mr. MelLvrstuz has acquired an intimate knowledge of the business of the city and the duties of its chief magistrate, and if elected he will enter upon their discharge with mote ease than can most men who have not had the same opportunities of acquiring the necessarylinforma- Lion. He has spent among us the 1 larger part of his life, and has long since established haracter for integrity and industry that do him boor. De• traction has never assailed his reputaii I n. The tongue of envy has never been moved aga nst him. He has pursued the even tenor of his yin the peaceful and profitable pursuits of his ernp oyrnent. ANDUZIV MCILWAINI Is • woampro NI It —on e of those who by their own Untiring ind stry and in the elevation of our city to the rank site holds among the cities of the nation, one of those who by their united energies have made Pittsdurgh the boast of Pennsylvania and the Union. By his own hands he earns his bread. It is no part of the business to,which ;we have Ebeen appointed to detract from the merits of the I rival candidates. We wish to olect ours Upon his , own merits and not upon the ruins of others. Yet we think we do them no injustice when ;we com pare our candidate with his rivals in this; canvass. Neither of them can exhibit a life of more useful ness. Neither of them has added more ly his in dustry to the character of our city. Neither of them has more experience in what trill; conduce most to her prosperity and wealth. For thirty years and more has Axnuxw MclzwAtas pursu ed his business, toiling with his own hands in the work shops of our city, raising himself into notice by the exercise of his mechanical skill and acquir ing the esteem and confidence of his acquaintances by .his mental acquirements and kindly disposition. To the working men we confidently present him undera full conviction that it will afford them no ordinary gratification to cast their votes in favor of a fellow workman. To the democracy we pre set bim as-consistent, faithful and true, and to our fellow citizens of every name, because we present you God's noblest mark, "an honest man.'? A.

MAYORALTY IN ALLEGHENY We think the Democratic Convention of Alle gheny city made an excellent selection of a Candi date, in the person of Camitts P. Waisrox. He is a young man, a Mechanic and well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. His private character is above reproach; and he is popular with the citizens irrespective of party. Weiplace his name at the bead ofothe paper this Morning. For i some reason rthe 'Whig c andidate is unpopu lar with many influential members of his own party.i We conks:a we knownothing against Mi. Cassrazw., personally; we have beard no charge derogatory-to his character uttered-, yet we aresold that a large portion of the Whig party will cast their suffmges for Mr. W}IIIITOS. • The Natives wilt do but little; their candidate has no personal' popularity, and the party has no strength, nor will it ever have in this enlightened age and country. • The "Citizens" have no candidate, so we pre sume theyy.vill be compelled to content themselves with one of th'e nominees. There is not much excitement yet on the sub ject; our friends over the water, like ourselves, paxticipated strongly in the confusion of the *nil'. tary movements to. think or talk much of civil George L. Robinson, rsq. who has been an nounced as a candidate, has, we are informed, with' drawn. He intends to support Mr. Whiston.— That is right, and it is an eel that will not be for gotten. cc? Mr. mit waine has answered the interroga tories of the National Reformers satisfactorily.— His letter is published in the Dispatch of yester day. We understand that the members of this party will cast their votes fur Mr. next Tuetalay. - • aj*There is a ieport in circulation , that Mr. M'lt..wAta-s, if elected. will appoint Geot H. Scott, of the Fifth Ward r to the post' - of High Constable. We are authorized to say that such a rumor is en- tirely without foundation. Dlr. Milwaine has made no promises to his friends as to the appoint ments, and will make none. - Those who have given circulation to the above rumor with a view to injure our candidate, will —perhaps—be magnanimous enough to correct it. We use no unfair means to defeat Mr. Adams, and we tinst none will be used against him; we are anxious that the election should be conducted honorably by all Krties. THE FIELD OFFICERS Though many have been disappointed by the re• suit of the election on Thursday, we are pleased to say that no difficulty has yet occurred--as was anticipated by some; all submit to the fiat of the majority. The members of the Regiment have-every confidence in the skill, and courage of the officers elected, and we doubt not appoint ments made by the Colonel will be fully satisfac tory SWORD :PRESENTATION Our citizens should not forget the sword presen• tation today. • The' mombers of the Neptaine En gine company have purchased a splendid sword s which will be presented to Captain Porter at 2 o'clock this afternoon; at the Engine House. Mr. Burke has been appointed to deliver the address on the occasion. The ceremony will be deeply in teresting. Contributions for , the Vatunicert—We trust the Committee appointed on Wednesday, night may be successful in their efforts to raise money mai o her necessaries for the Volunteers of this Regiment We understand that not more than one thoUsand dollars were collected for the First Regiment, and that amount canoe; off a few persons. We hope the new Committeajwill meet with more success. The alcciiktit from Gun Cotton.—Fenner is the name of theloung Man in wliose hands the pistol ' was when the cotton exploded, which resulted in the iliath of Lewis Nalidee; Capt.

As members of the Neptune they have always shown themselves to be fearless and energeticfiremen—may they prove themselves equally good soldiers on the field of battle. In their new capacity, in whatever climate, and un der whatever cirumstances they may be. thrown, may they still be found, as they ever have been at the sound of the Alarm Bell, hard at work in the hottest of thc fire. May those who return to us, bring report of battles won lor the country, and honor achieved for themselves, and may those who fall be found with "their back sto the field and their front to the feo." It will be our part to provide that their fame need no trumpets. Resolved, That we regret exceedingly the loss from our body of such n valuable proportion of its members; but that, at the same time, we feel a swelling pride in commending to the notice and admirrtion of our fellow citizens, the example of these of our number, whose philanthropy and pa triotism consist in something more substantial than the theorising of Reformists and the speech making of political men. In-time of peace. they show themselves willing and prompt to. hazard their lives for th& protection of our property—in time of war, to shed their blood for the maintenance of national honor. Of a truth "their actions speak." Resolved, That in time of emergency we want no better men than those wh'O have volunteered from our company, to man the Engine of ,State; and that, should Governor Shunk find it necessary a third time to handle the bell rope, the Neptune Fire Co. has "a few more left of the same sor ," who will obey the summons with alacrity. Resolved, That these resolutione be published in one or more of the city-papers, and that copies thereof be sent.to those of our coropaey who are at present in Mexico.
