Federal Honesty !
.There is a common saying, among
class of moralists, that . a lie, well stud
good as the truth." This'is a favorite r
many Federal editors; and they act upo
wonderful consistency, at times. Thal "pass,"
which one of their own number first promulgated,
and said was given by Mr. Polk to Santa Anna, to
enable him to get through'our blorkadin squad
ron in the Gulf of illexico—(which, bye way,
some persons have declared was manufac used by
Daniel Webster) has been again and ag in pro
nounced a base forgery, haying not the Slightest
ti
foundation In truth; and Yet, by far, the' largest
number of Federal prints continue to give circula
tion to the falsehood. They must make wonderful
calculations upon the gullibility of their readers!
So far as the -young ones ai* concerned, we are in
clined to think that they d¬ " reckon Without
their host;" but these will ; , grow wiser as they
grow older. _We would suggest to these honest and
truth-loving editors the prOpriety .of having the
"'mai" stereotyped. This would save the ki
zime of
their compositors, and they could insert it when
ever they pleased. If they would also have one of
the famous " Roorback." letters inserted lola par
allel column, it would greatly add to the effect of
the picture. Or they might give one of the old
prophecies about the destruction of the Onited
States Bank ;or respecting the election of Gneral
Jackson to the Presidency. ~ P erhaps, hmi - ever,
after all, one of the prophecies respectin that
" ruin " which was to fall quirk' the country, i n six
months after the passage Of.tlie Tariff of 13-IG,
would do better. But we are not particular.
for
one pf their prophecies or trltilis will suit for a I
,
parallel!
Mutual Life bulimic&
By a reference to an advertisernent in our raper
it will be seen . that a society ia'about to be orlgan
,lied and incorporated in this city, fur the purpose
of effecting insurance upon the lives of its Mem
bers.' The planproposed-- - iliat' of the m tu . al
principle—is one which we like better than any
other, because it more thoroughly identifies ach
member with, and awakens his:interest in the af
fairs of the association. Theleiare consequently
a greater number of checks td :dishonest scion;
and the safety of an association, is rendered much
less questionable. The organization of an ass
tion upon the mutual'principlealso is attei
with much less of expense to the parties than
of subscriptions to stock, and ittherefore is bi
calculated to do good - among a Most worthy,
meritorions'class of citizens, who; without tli
istence of such associations, are; - deprived of i
ing tkose salutary provisions fox- a young and
ing family, Which all heads of families ough
make,-,and which all prudent, reflecting men
to make. We sincerely hope that this associa
maybe commenced under the moat propitiou

Another Suspension ;Bridge,
We understand our scientific townsman, Mr.

immense wire suspension bridge across the Niaga

700 feet long,and 200 feet above the river, and is
intended to afford a continuous•route for the Great
Western Rail Road, which is to be united with the
ButThlo and Albany Railway. I The time at pres
ent occupied in reaching - Buffalo from Detroit is
from 36 to 4-1 hours. By die proposed route, the
same distance can be accomplished in ten hours,
and probably eight. No man is , better qualified to

We have before us a letter from a member of
Captain Porter's Company dated at Jalapa, on the

Cerro Goido; but as it only reiterates, in general,
facts which have beet:l.-already stated, we think it
unnecessary to give the letter ettire. Th e writer,l
(C. E. S—,) says—' , l am sorry i to say that one of
our men, (I will not mention bii Name,) when un

was observed by Lieutenant Skelly, who ordered
him to get up and go with his company; but he
would not obey; and so Skelly struck his sword,

by the said Banta :Blind in 1824, when lie:corn

10,000, on their retreat`fo Vera Cruz. ,This, .Ibe
lieve, was the inst battle, , or, rather slaughter, in the
Meziean Revolutiony.'which,terminated in her in-
dependence of Spain I:- This izireuenstance'first in
the minds of the /Oxicans, in connection with the
fact of tkeir vast superiority of force and, position,
was almost sufficient to have denied a hope of the
battle to be `decided In' fevor of the -American
arms.
. „ .
But all their sup Posed advantages proved -to
them unavailing. They were met in their own
entrenchments, and aifiated ; and defeat must ever
be the result of MexiCan intrigue and treachery,
When 'brought to beat: on justice and the valor Of
American troops. Gem Worth is noW.in posses
sion of the city of Perot!, 30 miles from lemon
the .National _Road leading to the , city of Mexico.
He has thrown one of his brigades 15 miles in ad
vance of his Pivision. He met with no Opposition
from Cerro Gordo to !ithat Point and from, the
most reliable source; we learn that the way is now
open to the city of Mexico, which place we can
reach in 12 or 15 days, if it; should appear neces
sary to captureit, in order to give chi ' s infatuated
people a More convincing proof of the folly of con
tending with a natiodsuch tbe United States;
who demands nothing] but- what is just, -and-will
submit to nothing that is wrong. We have been
here since the 21st ult., and will remain at least
until the last of: this Week, when we will more to
Perote.
A more delightful spot for the encatiptnentbf
an army, than the one we now occupy:could-not
well bo imagined. We are in a beautiful valley,
through which flows a strewn of as pure and lint.
pid water aaever ran;;•some,of its tributaries are.
formed from the melting of the snow 'and ice on
mount Orizabo, which makei the water as cool
and pleasant as the best spring water in - Pennsyll
vania. This mountain; is 90 mites west frorn, and
in full view of our camp; it is covered the entire,
year with snow, from which the surrounding.cautt.
try gets a supply of that most desirable luxury in
a southern climate, Frei 'yesterday, --lily a large
' number of pack mules; loaded with fee, on their
way to Jjapa.
The climate here is niS fine dS any in the world.
At mid-day the sun is: rather, oppreisive, but the
mornings and evenings are delightful. The wet
season, however, is :approaching; and as we have
but 3 tents to a company, and those occupied by
the sick and the arms, will place those who are so
forturtateas to enjoy good
.health, on the ground
for a bed, and their blanket. for a covering. In a l I
wet night bow comfortable ! : Too exquisite tot

Jalapa is decidedly the most city I have
yet seen in Mexico. contains a population of
from 10 .to 12,000, a large portion of which are
of a very genteel class, Polite and intelligent, par
ticularly the•softer sex.;; The mercantile business
appears to be Onducteil:with more energy than I
have before observed in, Mexico Tropical fruits

of almost every kind 'a#Oultiiieteil tcralreat ex-,
tent. The market is abundantly supplied with
Oranges, Lemons, Pine-apples, Plantains, and Water
Mellons. I ate a part of, a WatevMellon, a - very
fine one, too, at Vera Cruz, on the Ist of April
so you see, we are far ahead Of our Pittsburgh
friends, in the enjoyment,of a few of the luxuries,
it they do excel us in many of the comforts of life.
- .
An Express passed on. , to Vera Cruz yesterday
afternoon, and only stopped in Jalapa long enough
to change horses. I has4l this moment learned,
that he was an English Express—he Mated that
Puebla was not fortified; nor was any of the cities
or passe; between this and Mexico. I send you
the American Star, a paper published at Jalapa,
by a Mr. Jewell, from Pittsburgh. It contains
many items of news thatll could condense in the
limits of a letter.
If you all knew the pieasiireand satisfaction it
would afford me, to have the perusal of letters from
Pittsburgh, I think I have friends there who would
write more frequently, Ido not write as often as
I could wish, but want of time and material is the
cause. This morning 1 had the time, bat not the
material. I had to traverse the camp to procure
pen, ink and paper to write this.

The consideration of th - e - 4olliivviiii 44 9 1ations,
proposeilby lanes S. CraftitsVto ihd Pittsburgh
and Cannel'sVille Rill Road Company Wee
ed by their nioyer, for the pMpose of reaching the
Resolution ot - the Hon. Andiew Stewart; providing
for the reopening of
,the Bociks of said Company,
to stibscrihe additiOnal \ stok. They comprised se
clearly the view of a large portion of our citizens,
and pointed so plainly to the conclusion arrived at
by the meeting, that we comply with the request
of many who supported them, by 'their publics
tron. They are at once, decided, manly and logi
cal, and place the Rail Rosa .Question upon its
true basis--the-prosperityof Pittsburgh alone.:
Resolved,- ThaCii is conceded on all hands, by
the wisest heads and warmestfriends of Pittsburgh,
at home and abroad, that the charter' of the Pitts•
burgh andConnellsville Rail Road Company, as
conferred and confirmed, by the COmmonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in its whole length and Breadth,
is a boon of inestimable'value, and shouldtnot be
trodden under foot.
Resolved, That a liberal, unconditional,and effec
tive. charter, for a Rail Road from-Pittsburgh to
connect with the Great Western Line towards St.
Louis, is due to this community, the country west
of us, the Eastern cities, and the Commonwealth at
at large. It Wonld be uncharitable , to suppose that
any portion of the State would oppose such a char;
ter, so clearly important to their own interests, from
any selfish imaginaticin that it might benefit out
neighbors, as well as themselves, or that Pennsyl
vania would for a moment refuse to make herself
the carrier of the bOundless commerce of- the west.
' Resolved, That the Stockholders of this Compa
ny, should not be violently , forced to Vote upon any,
such odious . alternative, as the tiurrender of the
priceless provisions of this , charter, reaching . the
State Line,for the. nominal consideration'of going
west--a privilege which is our undoubted and in
disutable right, and share as citizens. If similar
corporate privileges • are or haVe been granted in
anyl other direction=this cannot-. and will unit not, bp
refused to us, and should not be surrendered to any
eastern'norporation. _
Resolved, Therefore, That it is unwise and inex
pedient; at this time, to proceed to a vote of this
company,- whether they wilt surrender the most
valuable feature of their charter, to obtain a con
nexion with the :west, which our representatives
can have for the asking,. without any such useless
and costly sacrifice. -
Resolred, That Pittsburgh has leaned lo'hg enough
upon the delusive hopes and unperformed promises
of Philadelphia, and the Baltiatrire and Ohio Rail
Road Company, and that the fulness` of time has
come for ,her, with the aid of the surrounding
armies, to" declare independence of both, and of
al others, and trusting to no other earthly strength,
and relying on no other protection but her own re.
sonrces and credit, stretch forth her:lron Arms; and,
availiog herself of the advantages' Which God and
Nature hire crowded around her, forthwith pra
ceed, under' the' fostering grant of the Legislature
already given, and her remaining rights, to mare
and accontpliah for herself both an Eastern and a
irraiernxiinnertkin by Rail Road: - -
