AliDieron--EDWARD .M'CORK LE Expenses of the War. • The Federal newspaper Editors of the United States, since the commencement of the war with Mexico, have steadily taken sides with the enemy and arrayed themselves against their own govern ment..`t The course they have pursued is calculated, above all others, to postpone peace. They have falsely represented that the war was planned and commenced by the Executive, far the purpose oil acquiring" additional Slave territory—they have, falsely asserted, too, that the war is carried on by the Protestants of this country. in order to over throw the Catholic Religion in Mexico. These l - ridiculous fables,—although disbelieved, of course,', 1 'by every person of sound judgment s —are intended - to raisePtejudices in the - naiads of a large classot Vpeirille against the government of their country. The latest and most absurd thing we find in the federal Dress, is an array of figures, pretending to . be a calculation of the Expenses of the war with Mexinoi Mr. Webster, after one of his wine nerisput forth the,great Musehausenism, that the expenses of•- the war were half a million of dol lars each day! The North American, at Philadel phia, although not quite-so reckless as " the god like," asserts that "a quarter of a million of dollars are Speni ertry day;" in 'carrying on the war. It is a singular fact, that in the very face of such as settions,land while a a free trade Tariff • (as the , federalisp call it,) is in full operation, the govern ' merit is pot embarrassed in the least. • Fromi l -an able article in a late `number of the • : Wishington Uaion s in reply to the farriligenar's , fmancienng, relation to the expenses of the war, we quote as follows. It is a triumphant refutation "". of the Monstrious falsehoods of the federal press - efts expressions of "last year and this year "'are s„, - calculated to mislead the reader. The year ;for which the appropriations are made and the ac counts kept at the 'Treasury, is not the calendar years on 1840 and 1847, but the fiscal year from June 39th, 1846, to June 30th, 1847; and from June 30iii - , 1847, to June 30th, 1848. By this year . iben, is meant; not an appropriation as made in February. last (of the short session) and expiring ors - the first of January next. but on the first iof "" • July neit—nearly a twelvemonth hence. Thus, whatevek - be the appropriation made by the last Congresi, it is understood to extend to the first iu-1 16481, The appropriations as quoted by the • Nationa4 Intelligence, are probably copied from the statement prepared by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, .(Mr. French .) in April last, which exhibited those appropriations as con firming r fin the year ending the thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and forty eight.' Thus it lippears that the last Congreis have provid-, • ed appropriations fur the expenses of the war until.!, the endsof the first half year of 1848; and,. of • course,th'e energy with which the war may be conduct ' ed,'„ran ae prosecuted without any further supplies • from the; next Congress. The enemy ought to un - -7- deratand'this state of things_both the enemy in Mexico,l and the enemy of the war in our owe ,cimutry.l But the National Intelligencer falls into some ex traondinary blunders about the expenses of this - sears RI charges, for instance, among the expen ditures-of the war, the contingent sum of three millions) which have never been drawn out of the treasury; and may never be; and for which, in any • event, we shall obtain an ample indemnity. }jut the great blunder of the National Intelligtn: eer is,inleharging the whole appropriations for the . 8114 and navy, for two years, to the expences of - the war.] This is so gross a s manoeuvre," that we wonder any paper of its sagacity should have re sorted to such a "stratagem.''What shall be. some—is a candid man will naturally ask—of the peace establishment of these two arms of the public , • service?' Sorely the war is not to be charged with • the coati of what would have necessarily accrued in case there had been no war! What, therefoie, would haie been the expenses of the peace estab • lishment of the navy and the army That aver age amount must be deducted from the amount of, the apPropriations made by Congress. Yet the :rn• lelligencir makes no such deduction. The naval appropriation fur the year commenc. s ingi3oth June, 1845, and ending 30th June. 1846, was $5,069,841 00 Same for 1846, '47 6,000,000 po Add. 52,250,000 of Me ten million s • - , appropriated by Congress 2,250,000;00 ;Appropriation for the current fiscal -•. :year, ending 30th June, 1848.. 9,307,058!10 'Out of this appropriation three store ships, four stettinerlisend eight small vessels forbomb-ketches and tenders, have been purchased; and there is,on hand, unexpended, nearly two million of the appro _ • Priationa for the year. The annual expense of the pate establishment of the navy is about six - mil fierui:of antlers. Seven thousand five hundred men -ar&alloVi•ed for the navy in peace. Ten thousand • are now allowed by law during the war. But the difficulty of enlistments is such that there are not eight; thousand Men in,the service, and, if this can iirtUes,-the expenditure of the current ytar for the - naval setvice, will leave net two million of dollars unexpended at the end of the year. The war operitions of the navy . are, of course, much leia expensive than any inexperienced perion nsightSuPpose. We hitherto have had no squadron in'the Mediterranean" to support, hut the vessels :.have:gone to the gulf. The imposeibility of sob ! :taining the allotted numberr,of seamen, and, ;of , ,fitting out more ships,- has kept the expenses;of "the navy, considerably below the , appropriation, as we. haveistated. But most-of these expenses are not thrown away. Meat of- the money has been laid out itr vessels (which after the war may be sold at a reduced price,) in ordnance, Mores,. &c; which will alWays be valuable and available:+-- Makingallowances for these considemtions, we understand that Rio the opinionsof the most intel sligentmen of the service. that a million would - • cover, all:the elpenseis.of she war for two years, trope rly called ss - • The principle i s equally true in its application to .thealtruists it is to the navy.

If is probable, however, that a portion of those appropriations will appear in the expendi , tures of 1846—'47. - Here then. we have nearly eleven millions to be deducted from the appropriations as charged by the Intelligenter, besides allowing for various articles realized in the public service which may be availa tO - it Considerable extent after the war, and be sides deducting the $3,000,000, not one cent of which has been expended. We should remark, al so, that with a given number ortroops, the expense of the war in future time will not probably be as large las for the past: Many of the articles' we have obtained are on hand, and the expenseof put: chasing them will be saved,especially in the hir4vl. iest item , of military operations --transportation. Let; us not, then, be alarmed at the extravagant calculations of the .Mexican ':We may support our tights and ourhonor with all the ener gy which they require: without • endangering the credittof the treasury, •or incurring a debt which our successors will not cheerfully pay. The honor , we hare gained—the spirit we have displayed—the glory which fills the world—the rights we have defended—will be ch!efiy purchased by the money which we have- expended on the war. But! if our expenses are increased, so also have our resources. Not to speak of the money which we shall raise, duties in Mexico, and perhaps by contributions among her people, if they shall still obstinatoly decline peace—the duties in our own ports are flowing in with uo penurious hand.

Of course we do not extend that estimate to all the ports in the United Sta tes. L. Ilsziesn, Esq , Editor Morning Post Respected Sir: Will you allow an.old citizen, deceply interested in the welfare of Pittsburgh, an opportun'ty to advert to your remarks, respecting Rail Road communications. You say: "We mutt hive a Rail Road to the West, if for no other reason than that. of heading" Baltimore in her present movements.' Your decision is correct. "WE storr //ATE • RAIL ROAD TO TIIE WEST." But 'the rea• sons are so manifold, and persuasive from every other quarter, that the allusion to what you sup pose the course and policy of Baltimore only im pairs the strength of your first position. You pre sume that the intention and aim of Baltimore to reach the west at Wheeling, is fixed and settled, and that the cold shoulder is to be turned to Pitts burgh lam delighted to assure you and this pen. ple, that all who believe this, labor under a great mistake. The indication or tendency from that quarter, towards Wheeling, is that of Mr. Mime, at present having "a voice potential," over the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad Company; but such iE not the view or decision of the Merchants, or Capi% talists, of Lattimore; and the headstrong proclevi ty or perverseness of Mr. M'Lane is not for a mo ment to be confounded with their clear and cor rect leaning in favor of Pittsburgh. I therefore re gret that you should seem to dash cold water into the face of our anxious and energetic Baltimore friends, who nre using every exertion to close with us and who will certainly succeed, in due time, as certain as they have the truth, the right, and all the materials ofsuccess on their side. Ot the even.. tual,connexion of Baltimore and Pittsburgh, by- he Connellsville Charter, there is no moral or mortal doubt. Let us hang on to that invaluable grant— secure is operation by a compliance kith its pro visions, and we are safe. At this instant, clouded as they may seem. the prospects of an Eastern Rail Roau, are more certain by this Route than any other. In that of the West we all concur, and only require an independent charter for it to go ahead. This the Legislature of Pennsylvania will give (or the asking. DE WITT CLINTON. The foregoing communication comes to us from one of our oldest and most distinguished citi zens. We are pleased that our views in regard to a Western Rail Road are well received by our citizens generally. The completion of the Central Railroad, from. Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, (which may now be ea/rotated upon With amoral certain ty,) will create the necessity for a coutinuous Rail road communication with the Great West; and every citizen of Pittsburgh, who takes asincerein terest in its prosperity, will lend his aid in push ing forward this important work. Our correspondedent "De Witt Clinton,"misun derstood us in relation to the 'policy of Baltimore." We never for a moment entertained a doubt as to the feelings and wishes of the citizens of that city. As men of sense, her merchants and others can not avoid knowing, that it is true their interest to become more closely identified with Pittsburgh in their business relations From all the information we can gather, nine-tenths of the business com munity of Baltimore' are exceedingly anxious that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad should be brought to Pittsburgh. Such was the impression conveyed by the delegation who visited us.not long since. But Mr. M'Lane, and those who are associated with him in the direction of the company, are eith er blinded by prejudice, or led away by personal considerations. So long as the management of the company remains in their hands, there is no reason to believe that they will look to this city as a western terminus. Such being the case, the course of Pittsburgh is perfectly plain. We can not honorably coax or flatter Mr. ItELane and his colleagues, after what has transpired. They of course, will pursue the bent of their own inclina tions. Pittsburgh will not abandon a certainty for an uncertainty—we have been fooled and doped too long already. Advices have been received from Baltimore, that nothing definite will be done at the meeting in that city respecting the Wheeling terminus, from the fact, that the company cannot proceed west of Cumberland, without further legislative action on the part of Maryland. It is also said that a ma jority of the Councilmen, to be elected in Bahl wore in October, will be favorable to a terminus at this city. This may all be possibly true—time will determine. Our true policy is to let the Bal timore Company for the present alone. 'Tis worse than folly to reascn with men who are so exces sively whimsical tnd quixotic in their notions. Brigadier Grim cZ Pierce.—Gen. Pierce, who left Vera Cruz for Pu bla, on the 18th ult. to join Gen.

He has an excellent milirary reputation, and has thus far shown him• self eminently qualified for his high command. He reachediterote rapidly, and on his march, drove thi Mexicans from 'a position near the National Bridge, said to be "one of the stron'gestin the coun try."

We have added a rough estimate of values for the purpose of giving another view of the im measeness of this vast trade. What if the home millet had been compelled to swallow all this produce. Lowell would have felt a new expansion. The home market can do nothing with our sur plus yr ulucts. We know that, to all these facts, it is replied that a famme caused an unprece.lent• ed demand. eo it did. But the benefit is not the less due to free trade on that account. Foreigners never buy of us unless for some cause they want what we bare to sell, and it is always the liberty of trade, not by its restrictions, that we are able to supply their wants,however caused. It is lib erty, not protection which gives nations the benefit of mutual trade. Whatever may cause the de mand, it is trade wkich supplies it. The famine might have been ever so intense, aid yet but for liberty to trade, we should, nut as any one can see, not hare sold one bushel of corn on that account. A thousand causes may create demand, it isdiber ty of trade alone which supplies it. It is impossible to say what all this produce would have been worth, if the laws of England and the States had not been changed. We know that before the change, for one or tw•o years, cheese was said for hog food; and the pork afterwards was only worth bringing to market. within short distances. This vast expansion of our agricultural prosperity, twist and turn it how we may, is the result of a new condition of laws and opinions in the world. Our farmers will not allow the new movement to turn baekwards.—Juurnuf of Coni. LIEUT. Simno ans.—The latest intelligence from Mexico confirms ;he .news of the death of Lieut .

"Every charge of cannister being gone, the Colonel obtained men to go to the village of Tan taynca "to the stores to procure poWder and ball from which a number of cartridges were prepared, using champagne bottles half filled with balls with the remaining space packed with earth—a substi rote for tin cylinders.

It is greatly feared that the whole Santa Fe country will be in a state of insurrection, unless a fresh supply of troops arrive soon. •-_ , , , - '.. ~ ...._. LOCAL .6i.4fiji**:.i 1 i,.: • 137,Thereis a man now in this city, Just from someluf themortherri counties, wlio begs alms with a. good deal Vrace; considering his wholesome and 'athletic' aPpearance.. He urgetr,.. , his right to live "'upon the labor of others, dn rather novel grounds. The most affecting item in his 'prayer, is where be notices the fact that, in the section of country from which he came, there were discover• ed to be, the past season, 4, from sixteen to twenty worms in each stalk of wheat." It is a comfort to us, at all events, that this calamity has not per. varied the entire country; the crops are abundant, and bread, meat and potatoes will be offered low enough for some months, Another matter, that is both good and true, is the. great demand for labor at this time. The State does not guarantee labor ddring all times and seasons, yet it so happens that at this particular juncture in our affairs, all who are willing to work can find immediate employ. ment at living wages. We would therefore discourage all who ask alma under such circumstances as above noticed. Flatmates Faxes• Dazas e will be a grand Fancy Dress Ball, for Firemen and Citizens, on the 10th of Sept.

They can do it, if we are not mistaken in the men. Rains SALCION.-A very large audience assem bled at the Eagle last evening, who were disap pointed in consequence of the non appearance of Mrs. Phillips and Holman. Mrs. P. was suddenly attacked by sickness, while on her way; but left Bedford yesterday, as we were informed by a Tele graphic Dispatch. They will appear this evening.

Taylor is to be withdrawn from the Birmingham line, are said to be without foundation.

The importance of the qu'estion at issue between the combatants demands labori ous investigation which it will no doubt receive co. Mr. Oxley played “Qtanaska, the Mohawk Chief,' for his benefit on the 17th, at the Atli nmum, Cincinnati.

Entroi:—l have seen in your Weekly Manufacturer, belonging to a Locofoco neighbor of mine, an communication signed "Morgan" and one signed "One who knows," charging upon Mr. George Darsie that he had recovered $250t1 from the Lodge for a Lot of ground in the city, and had afterwards refused to make a deed for the Lot. Now Sir, I do not know whether these charges are true or false, nor do I usually pay much attention to newspaper charges about electioperers, hut be ing in the city this morning with some marketing, I took occasion to ask some of my old Anti ma sonic friends about the matter, and they told me that they did not know much about it,—that Mr. Darsie had never contradicted the story. With this kind of an explanation I am not satisfied and must ask you to again call Mr. Darsie's attention to the subject, and if he does not answer, be will not receive the votes of the Anti-masons of Wil kins township of which, I AM ONE."

Proposed Rail Road.—The people of Michigan are agitating the subject,.hy holding public meet ings, of building a rail road from Detroit to Port Huron. The principle object of this road is to connect with the Canada rail road, about to be constructed from Toronto to Port Sarnia, which is opposite Port Huron, at the foot of Lake Huron.

There - have been no later arrivals It contains a translation of a long Report from the majority of the Committee on Foreign Rela tions, in the Mexican Congress, to which Mr. Bu chanan referred in his letter. • The Report says that by the Constitutional law, as among other civilized nations, the direction of Foreign affairs is entrusted exclusively to the Ex ecutive;. but without conferring the power to co r, elude any thing definitely without the consent of tde legislative body. The Committee arrived at the conclusion that Congress possesses no power to entertain the communication of our government, and recommend that the same be returned to the. Executive branch, because in the present selection of officers, such matters came within its cogni zance, with the restrictions established by the fun d 'mental code of the Republic. The Report was submitted to Congress, and dis cussed. The vote on it was taken on the same day: yeas, :52; nays, 22. The names are given.

REMARKS.--Our merchants-are actively pre paring for the Fall trade; . and from present a pearances, a heavy busines.s will be transacted= 7 During the past week, the sales were principally confined to the city and immediate vicinity. Pri ces generally have remained stationary. The stock ' s of Pittsbutgh manufactures were never better than they are at present. CountrY merchants will have no difficulty finding such arti cles as they want. .-,The money market still con* tinues easy, and the abundance of currency in cir. culation has increased the discount on it'to one per cent. The banks have continued to draw on the Eastern cities for I per cent, premium, though, in the West, Eastern exchange has advanced. At this season of the year, it has always been in demand, and scarce ; but from the vast quantities of pro duce sent from the West, which created balances in favor of Western Banks and rnerchants, no spe cie will go eastward this season. - ASHES.—SaIes moderate at the following rates; Scorchings. 41-13; Potash, 41 I}c.;.
