JOHN C, - DAYITT, Ch'n.
Taos'. Biic rxona, Scey.
There is no use in crying over spilt milk, and it
is equally as fruitless to fret one's felt in relation
to the result (lithe City Election on Tuesday. We
arc beaten—beaten badly; but it is some little
consolation - to know .that it is not the first time.
The oppoitition. have elected their Itlayor and near
ly all the councilmen,
t lathe custom of some editors to magnify the
shadtaiia that pass between them and the sun of
kroatierity, 'sod one would be led to suppose that
they-were-encompassed by nothing but gloom and
perplexity. - It is true that the condwtor of a pub
lic is not free from the troubles incident to all
vocations, but he is compensated by sweet enjoy-I
meats which come like the sunshine and—then
depart - again! Lights and shadows. sickness and
Wttl , prosperity - and adversity are common to all
men, though, for n wise purpose, not equally dis
tillinted. If vre•have more of that which is least,
desired, Hope comes to whisper comfort and point
to an enchanting prospect on the far horizon. If I
Our cup is , full or the sparkling beverage of Hear-)
en, we ought to drink it with a grateful heart, and !
not embitter it with tears lest the cup should nev
er be filled - again. It is affectation tin ad - editor to
parade his griefs before the public, for what does,
the public Care for him? He is like an actor on I
the stage, So long as he plays well his part, he will
,
receive applause; but should he take off the 501 -

ling' mask and begin to talk of his private perplexi
ties' aria. trOUbles, the chances are that he'vvill bey
rewarded with biases and contempt. Again, it is
affectation in an editor to boast of his success, for; )
the_public seeing heights far above him, sneer at'
his - vaunting; atil:he suffers in that comparison
which discretion might have avoided. There are'
few men who - have - not a higher idea of themselves
than the public have, and he who would aim for
popularity should not wear a taller plume than his
Artetlitor can succed only by patient labor.
Like the lapidary; be must make gems out of peb
bles-and let others wear them—not himself. He
must add to the sum of human enjoyment, and not,
a,s.too many do, with the malice of fiends, or the
inconsideration of the fool, scatter the seeds of
misery,' or sharpen the barb of the shaft intended
tar a random shot, merely to spew the strength of
the hand that drew the how. To win personal
popularity, -an editor should like Melissa gather
honey from every weed; and not like Arachne col
lect poison from the fairest flowers. He has the
power of doing good . and evil, of elevating the
thoughts and affections of mankind, of brightening
and strengthening the chain of universal brothei
hood; for, - of`severing the links and saying to the
weary and heavy laden there is no rest for you,
and to those who would aspire to better their
condition ' , thus far shalt thou go and no farther!
There are lights and shadows in the life of an edi
tor,- the lustre of the one will be brightened by the
good he does, and the gloom of the other will be
deepened as be caters to a vitiated taste, or prosti
tutes his talents for the cupidity of those whom he
etalts only to despise him. The Press is the
mightieist engine for good or evil ever given to man
by God. Conducted by a philanthropic, patriotic,
and intelligent intellect, how potent to exalt the
condition otour race ! and conducted by an intel
lect inibued with low desires, or enflamed with
corrupt passions, it is the blind leading the blind,
Samson deprived of eyesight, but with the
brute force to pull down the pillars which uphold
the social fabric, and thus break to pieces all that
Genius his consecrated as medals of the progress

,The crotchety, ill.natured and petulant tem
per of the Editor of the Journal, bas made him
thelaughing stock of tho Press. There is not an
editor in the city, we believe, that he has not sought
&personal quarrel with. We can compare him to
nothing but an impotent olclwotnan with a wicked
topple: He has decla'red himself to be a "misera
ble man," and as misery loves company, he would
M - see'his neighbor as much in the Claud as he
if in the mire. Infested with blue-devils, he rushes
at-his fellow editors to get rid of his tormentors,
but if we can help it we sha;nt let him leave any
. of. his companions on our path: Such is the con
dition of this "miserable" hypochondriac that he
has our pity—not our enmity. As an editor
whole rife is ono long war with self-sought
foes."
Hard thittg,s have been_said of him—we might say
harder, but we have no disposition to rake up that
which from its fetor had better lie undisturbed.
Mr. Riddle has harped upon the:word "gentleman."
We, should like amazingly to have his definition of
the word. If be will give it according to his ideas,
vre will'give him a "locofoco" definition in neg,a-
Lives, if' he. Pleases.
( . I•The Irish are a warm-hearted people. From
a statement in . the New York Jountol of Commerce, I
signed Jacob. Itarvey, we learn that the Irish Emi
grit:its,. male and female, of the city of New York,
have sent in the shape of drafts to their poor rela-
tions at home, during the last year, the sum of
SSoB,9oo,and within the last sixty days, $175,000.
Considering that the persons who sent this amount
aie poor laborers themselves, it shows a spirit of
liberality, worthy of all praise. The Irish of Pitts•
burgh are celebrated for their generosity, and we
have no doubt but they have extended all the aid
in theirpower to their suffering friends in the old
country. .

9,1 t. eareahirAttihe Enemy.
The New YOrkt,4lit one, one'at the leading-Fed
eral prwers in Attc'. country, Contains the following
remarks-in'relation to - the; war:will! Mexico. We
tilt grans on record for futum,reference.
'"Ni r heri We confider this long train of outrages;
it does seeia.atro*us thatwe, in view of the an
t blushing .infrinry or - our Itepudiatin. States and!
Oirst sums of which they have plunder'ed their For
eign Creditors—in view of our repeated refusal to
pay our own citizens their claims for French spoi
lation o f My years standing—should say one word
about the money dueus from Mexico as an excuse
for our palliation of this war.
tAs to "the enemy'," and all that, we consider
Diu' own rapacity -and injustice our perilcnis enemy
and the worst possible- calamity which could befat
I us, an easy triumph to, and great apparent gains
from,..sur Gopernmeat's wrongs and villainies to
wards Mexico. Better far that the punishment of
thcsc' crimes should be prompt and signal, so as to
operate as a warning against such in future. Of
the novice who betakes himself to the gambling
table and looses, there is hope; but wo to him if
he cornea off the winner! Hs doom is sealed."
! PerhaPs the best commentary we can offer upon
this Mexican article of the Tribune is the follow-
iag extract from the Courier and Enquirer, a paper
which belongs to the same party. The Courier in I
reply sayS: "Here is our country held up to the
World as atrociously infamous—the plunderer of
fOreign creditors and its — own citizens—charged
with 'rapacity and injustice,' and of being guilty of
innumerable 'wrongs and Villanies towards Mexi
i
ca. And finally, the prayer is distinctly put forth,
that our country may in this very contest, be
promptly and signally punished! That is, that
our ntmies may be defeated, our navy dispersed,
nersoldirsand Sailors slain, and that our enemies
may be victorious!! And all this, as a warning
for the future! What
. American can read lan
guagelille this, without feeling that he who wrote
it, is arr enemy to his country—guilty of moral
treason, and richly meriting the indignant rebuke
land hearty contempt of every honest man in the
land?" Nay, the very enemy by whom 'aid and
Comfort' is thus generously extended by an Amer
ican editor, may love the treason, but cannot fail
to despise the Traitor.
I' We have only to look back to the war of ISi 2,
i an I then, l
as now, we find a noble cause, noble sen
-1 timents, and a noble party, crushed to the earth;
Iscattered. dispersed, and their very name held up as
a by-word of reproach, because there were men
1 among them as among the Whigs now, guilty of
!what the National lutclligencer very justly denomi
hated moral treason. But then, as now, statesmen
1 I patriots—honest men—were above the grovel
ing requirements of party, and the cunning devices
of demagogues,—and such Federalists as Rufus
King and his patriotic associates, nobly stood by
the rear,! because in so doing they stooeby their
1 enutdry. Too many of the great and honest Fed-
I eral party were, however, seduced by their cleve
eton to party, from their duty to country, and thus
Was an honest party, with noble purpueb, foievcr
I dispersed. .
Our country is involved in a foreign war—in
Our opinion abundantly justified : but whether just
Or unjust—whether expedient or inexpedient—
most assuredly that war must be fought to a tri
umphant issue, or our country is disgraced in the
eyes of the civilized world. Such being the stake,
ievery honest inan—and he who does not love his
!country cannot be an honest man—is called upon
liby every, consideration of patriotism and duty, to
give.„“aid and comfort' to those whose duty it is
to bring 'the war to a close, instead of striving by
ibis conversation and publications to render the
%rar unpopular, and as far as him lies, to para
lyze the arm of government. Men who thus strive
are guilty of moral treason, and should be brand
ed and treated accordingly."
The Trlrgraph.
We find the following item in the Wheeling
T:mes of Monday
"The Steubenville Herald states that there are
Set no posts up for the extension of the Telegraph
;westward from Pittsburgh through Wheeling, and
that therp is yet uncertainty what route kill be
;adopted:7
We will inform our friends of Wheeling and
Steubenville that a number of posts hove bAn
. .
put up west of this place, for the purpose of ex
tending the telegraph to Louisville. It was the
original intention of Mr. 0 Itsit.Lx to take the
wires through Washington, Pa., from thence to
Wheeling, and from Wheeling along the National
!Road through Ohio. , But upon learning that he
could reach Wheeling by the way of Steubenville,
at about the same cost, the work was suspended
fora few :days, until a survey of the two routes
could be ,Made. If the Company find that it will
be to their interest to go through Steubenville in
:stead of Washington, we presume that route will
he adopted. At all events, let this matter be tie
' kermined as it may, there will certainly be a Tele
;graph office at Wheeling, as that place, we uritler
, stand, is one of the points mentioned in the con.
tract. The idea that some people have formed
that in case the Steubenville route is adopted, the
company will extend the wires from that place
west; throkb Cadiz to the National Road at Cam•
bridge, is totally without foundation.
Troops in the Field.
The Washington Union, in publishing the re
port of the Adjutant Geusral of the United States
army, General R. Jones, which accompanies the
annual report of the Secretary of War, shows the
number of regular and roluuteer troops which
were in the service of the United States on the
!SAL December, 1£46. Popular .renown has under
.yated the t i orce. The Adjutant General states the
regulars in service as follows :

Of whifili Major General Taylor has 18,332 un
der his command; General Wool, 2,0G0; and Gen
eral Kearney, 3,922. Add to these the nine addi
tional regiments recently called into service, it
makes the whole amount to more than 30,000.
FRANKLIN'S Biwa DAT.—Saturday, the. 16th
inst., will !be the Anniversary of the birth day of
BENJANIIIi FRANKLIN. It is to be celebrated by
the Printeis in some of the cities.
A Mobile paper states that the introduction
of the Arabian camel on the prairies of the - Great
West is suggested; and adds, it will greatly facili
tate the intercourse between Missouri, Santa Ire,
anclCalifornia. We rather think - the camels are a
better idea than the wind wagon.

themselves were but little 'Calculated to Impress
the mind of the quiet observer with a very high
estimate of the moral character of a considerable
portion of the meinbers of 'the . two -companies ori
board. However, 'tis said that it is characteristie
• of the American people to run info extrenies.
This being the case, it is easy to account for the
uprorious proceedings on the part of inany. They
had left hcme and all that .was dear to them,
never, perhaps, to return; and in order to banish
the sad recollections of the past, and.to catch, if
possible, a bright glimpse of , the future, they gave
themselve3 op to the wild protxtptings of passions
which only ceased when tired nature lulled them
to repose. But no accident—not a single fight—
has as yet occurred to mar our harmony. In fact,
ithe "Blues" and “Guards" are upon terms the
most friendly. •
Cincinnati was the first place at which we land
ed; and contrary to our expectations and to general
orders No. 2, we were marched on shore and thro'
the principal streets, and dismissed for fifteen mi
nutes, in front of the Post Office. At the expira
tion of the time, we formed' and returned to the
baa t. •
The next day we reached Louisville, and were
again marched through the Streets, and dismissed
lot a quarter of an hour. Upon this occasion,
however, the men were not 'as prompt as they
should have been, and the consequences have
been that we have not been permitted to go ashore
at any of the towns since.
Some distance above Memphis, whilst the boat
was rounding, two of the ~ Guards" deserted. They,
borrowed money under various pretexts from their!
friends, and it is supposed that they well take the!
first boat up. Keep a look out for them. The!
Guards are not permitted to leave the boat now
upon any occasion. Our boys go ashore at all !
the wood yards, and the way we have sport with i
the ..darkies" is nobody's business but our own.—
I presume you are aware that it is the . universal
custom of the masters to give their slaves the en z
tire week between Christmas and New Years.—
So that they are all dressed in their best Sunday
suits, and look as happy as Kings.
There are many things that I could write about,
but prudence tells me to forbear yet a little while.
If you know ought of my' nature, you know that,
whilst I say but little, I am a tolerable close
server of men and things. Let me here make a
single prediction; and mark, in the proper time, if
it is not fulfilled to the letter. It is this: Should
the Blues ever see service, they will acquit them
selves nobly, and in the event of their return to .
Pittsburgh. Lieut. Rowt.sr will be the favorite of
ficer of the company. Ido not say this in dispar
agement of Capt. HAr, Lieuts. Dzsrs s or Ca•ucc
TOE, or any of the non-commissioned officers On
the contrary, they all have my entire confidence
and best wishes. But some of them do not possess
!the requisite abilities to command otedienct us sel
diers, and respect and lure as men. Lieut. R. will
be eminently successful in this matter, or I miss
my guess.
As to our lis Mg, it is much better than I antici
pated. In fact no one would find the least fault
with it, were it not for the fact that the officers.
who quarter in the ladies cabin, have all the luxu
ries the country can afford. If there is a man on
the face of God's earth who can advance one single
reason in support of this state of things, I should
like to see it. Are they any better than the pri•
sates? Are their duties more laborious? Does
the genius of our free institutions allow such dis
tinctions? Can an officer expect men to be con
tented with such a state of things? And would it
not be wisdom in them to live on the same fare,
sleep on the same straw, and suffer the same hard
ships in common with their men?
What will be done with us here I cannot tell as
yet, but suppose we will go to the Barracks, which
are said to be situated some four or five miles from
the city.
We 'seed here about half•past 0 o'clock at
nightmaking, the trip in S days, ti} hours"; being
detained by fog about 30 hours.
The Messenger and Circassian arrived safe, and
we look for the St. Anthony and New England to
morrow. We go ashore early in the morning,
when some of us expect to see sights.
Two or three of the boys are unwell, but not se
riously.
When I write again I will be able to tell you
something about our destination. The talk is .bat
we go to Point Isabel. Doubtful.
Respectfully, F. 11. C.
0::?We obFerve that a bill has been introduced
into the Legislature of New York, providing for
the registry of births, marriages and deaths. In
:tlassachusetts they have a similar law, and 'all
marriages which are premeditated, are required
to be announced in the newspapers in advance.
How would our young folks like to have such a
law in operation here ?

Late iu the afternoon, Mackay was seen in corn.
