SPECIE - .
A very singular state of 'Circumstance is causing
considerable shipments of specle to Europe. It
bus been the common practice here, to pay cash
for bills on Europe, payable at sixty days after
sight. In this way, time has been taken, where
money was cheap,—there being always money in
abundance, with which such bills could be cashed,
if the holders desired. So easily has this been
done, that sixty day acceptances have constituted
a part of . the circulating medium of England,
passing from hand to hand by indorsement, until
the backs were covered with signatures. Now
things are greatly changed, Money is much more
plenty and cheap here than there. It was former.
ly thought that a London banker's acceptances
have lost their charm, Formerly those bankers
were glad to be in advance to their customers
here; now they have not-a dollar to 'spare. For
merly the branches of houses on this side, were
glad to advance money on consignments to the
branch on the tit e her side, and the houses there
cared not how largely they were in advance; if
only they had property or bills in hand as security.
Now every body on the other side wants cash.
Cash is the thing which must be had. Bills and
produce are of little worth. Sixty day bills there
fore will not answer now to pay debts already ma
tured. Houses here will not encumber their partners
abroad with drafts, but seed funds, as far as conve
nient, from this side to that. Advances,soearnest•
ly pressed upon shippers here, but a little while
ago, are now refuted altogether. The consequence
is, that bills are not desired as a remittance, but
gold is the thing; for that can be used instanter,
without endorsement or discount. In this way a
new fact appears. The distress in Europe is per
suading us to lend s —not in produce, but in cash.—
The rate of exchange has not indicated that Amer
ica was in debt to Europe, but only that accounts
were about square. The Americans have been
distinguished in Europe for their cash payments.
Other nations pay as our fathers did, in six or,
twelve months. The India business is, to a great
extent, carried on by bills at twelve months
sight. Wealth has accumulated so rapidly in A-
merica, and so shrewd is competition here, that the
Americans have been careful to save such discounts, ,
and all the extra charges which always accompa
ny long credits. So we have no six months or
twelve months ropes to be hauled in by England's
distresses, ourselves at the end of them. We have
paid our debts, and although we might prefer to
send forward produce, to y lend cash, yet we can;
spare a couple of-millions well enough from our'
gold, and we are inclined to think that a small
part of that only will be called for, before aflairs
will become so reconstructed in Europe that
produce and bills will again be satisfactory
-1 There is much reason to believe that this is not a
temporary difficulty on the other side, especially in
England. It is partly owing to the loss of crops
last year, but more to the great change in Eng
land's position in reference to the general industry
of the world. She is not making money now as
she was formerly, when she contracted her enor
muus debt, and created a civil and ecclesiastical
government of unprecedented splendor and cost.
She must turn Puritan again, put on coarse cloth,
set all bands at work, on the land and elsewhere, if
she wculd make her income equal to her expendi:
, lure. The nation, as well as the individual which
I spends more than it earns, can never have an easy
money Market. The only cure tar difficulty under
such circumstances, is by some means to bring
about a change of relations between income and
expenditure.
The way this gentleman. the Hunker candidate i
for Comptroller, gets flayed by the Whig presses!
throug,b the State for his vote to kill the lrish
Relief Bill during the last session of Congress, is!
a caution to wrongdoers. This is as it should be
Will the sympathy of Irishmen be enlisted by
these artful appeals to the name of Democracy in
favor of e. man who has shown himself entirely
destitute of its subsistence as well as destitute of '
all feelings of benevolence and charity? No, he!
and his party had no sympathy for starving ire- I
rand when they had the power to furnish relief,
and we have no doubt that the confiding Irishmen
of this State will no longer be deluded by the name
of Democracy which those demagogues assume as!
a cloak to deceive -them and c.itch their votes, bat,
will meta-out to these false pretenders to Democ

which they extended to the famishing poor of Ire.
land.—Troy Post.
Could eaTs.— • Hear both sides," is an old and I
just motto. It is true that Mr. Hungerford voted
against the appropriating $500,000 of the public
money to relieve the distress in Ireland, a move- '
went made by the Whigs for political motives
' What was the inducement of Mr.llongerford to
vote against that appropriation? We answer un•
hesitatingly, irom apprehensions that Congress
could not vote away the public money constitution
ally for such an object, and great respect is due to
such an opinion founded on such a basis.
Did Congress vote the public money to aid the
Greeks? Certainly not. Suppose you appropriate
the public money, to be expended for a good ob
ject in a foreign land; might it not be established
as a precedent for future appropriations Tor other
and less worthy purposes? Tire Constirution is the
rock of our safety, and we should never legislate
upon doubtful powers. Thu Whigs now can bring
up Mr. Hungerford's vote ; in order to prujudice
the Irish against him, on the score of humanity.
But why did the Wbigsnot carry that apporpriationl
They could have done it. But what did Mr. Hun
gerford do on this occasion ? He voted against
the appropriation from Constitutional objections,
but he made up one thousand dollars among his friends
and fr, in his own pocket, and sent it to the poor of
Ireland. This was a noble personal and constitutional
act which he felt he had a right to do. How many
Whigs who voted against that appropriation, gave
a dollar out of their own pockets to the suflering
poor of Ireland ?—.New Yoek Globe.
The system of Democratic Government is most
beautiful in its structure, and benevolent in its op
erations. It lie transcript of the Government of
God. It is supported by the profoundest researches
of philosophy, by the sublimest teachings of reli
gion, the purest piety, and deepest virtue r the firm.
est faith, the brightest hope, the most extensive
charity. It - gives to each the right of all. Each
man is estimated a unit, the sum of which makes
up the whole. What is the right of one - is the
right of all. It confers no title; it bestows no
immunities. It makes each accountable fur the
whole,.and pledges the protection of the whole for
the good of each. The man that is born in insig.
nificance and bred in a corner, may by a continu
ance in well doing, rise to the centre of glory and
honor. Merit is the only . avenue to success, and
the sons and daughters of the rich, by the neglect
of virtue, by indulgence in vice, will sink to insig
nificance. The man in .office may be removed
without a revolution, yid& vacant seats are open
to the emulation of all. I can conceive of no form
of government so, perfectly compatible with the
sublime principles of christianity, or so directly
calculated to promote the happineis , of all man
kind, as a democracy. It needs only to he under

GEN. PILLOW'S HEROISM, &c
The following, which we take from Saturday's
r. ~ - . • ,
Umen,.gives a vaphic account of Gen. fillovei
reflects hi gh participation in the recent battler,and reflects high
honor on that Much abused and gallant officer: ,
Cirr or Mexico, Sept. 27, 1547...,
To the Editor of the Union::
Sin: Gen. Pillow has been repeatedly depreci
ated and abused I.ty certain presses. This may
furnish a sulficienr reason for the following de•
scription of his military services. Since our army
arrived in this valley, we have fought four bloody
battles; the first at “ Contreros," on the 19th and
20th of. August, in which we carried the enemy's
great outwork, took 52 pieces of artillery, 1,200
prisoners, and killed and wounded 1,500 of the
enemy. Gen. Pillow was in command of all our
.forces engaged, anu had under him Brigadier Gen.
eral Twiggs' division, and Gen. Shields' brigade
of volunteers. The judgment, skill, strategy, and
science with which the battle was planned and
carried out, received the warm approval of Gen.
Scott; and called forth the applause and admiration
of the whole army ; and placed Gen. Pillow : at
once, in the estimation of the army, in the first
rank of American generals.
We had 4,500 men in this action. While the
force of the enemy exceeded 16,000. Alter we
had gained this signal victory, and by it opened
.the way to turn the enemy's works at San Antonio,
which bad hitherto held our army at bay, and bid
defiance to its approach, General Pillow, seizing
the moment, and the advantage which this posi
tion and the enemy's panic gave him, after appriz.
ing General Scott of his success, rapidly pursued
the enemy, and whirled around the valley to as
sail San Antonio in the rear. Having gotten-close
to this position, it was discovered that the enemy
had fallen back upon another strong fortification
at Churubusco. General Scott having now over-
taken the army, for the first time assumed the
command, and immediately gave the enemy battle
at Churubusco. After a long,desperate, and bloody I
battle, the enemy was completely routed and
driven from his works with great slaughter.--
Throughout this battle, General Pillow was 1,.
. tinguished by hie great activity and gallantry.—
He was once knocked down by the concussion of
a shell, and with his own hands shot dead a taxi
can colonel. His division greatly distinguished it
! self, and his command, in conjunction with Worth's,
j stormed the strong work—the fete de pont—one of
IPillow's regiments capturing all the American de
j serters-00 in numbei—and carried off the flag
i from this strung work. General Pillow's brilliant
successes in these actions induced General Scott to
select him, after the armistice was broken, to storm
i Chapultepee—the Gibraltar of the valley of Mezi
i co.
This work is situated on the identical spot upon ;
which stood the palace of the once opulent and
renowned Montezuma. It is upon a beautiful emdl
nence, steep and "eery difficult of ascent, except on,
one side, south of west of the capital, and, by its'
position, commanding with its artillery the valley,
the ganta fortification, and the citadel--the strong
est fortification inside the capital—as also the
strong battery on the San Cosine road. This
strong work teemed conscious of its strength. It
looked proudly upon every thing around, as did,
the once lordly monarch who had trod its prince
ly heights in the palmy days of his greatness and
glory. In every directiorifor one and a half miles, it •
annoyed our troops by its terrible fire. It had at
the base of the hill, enclosing about forty acres
of ground, a wall of stone about twenty feet high
and four feet thick. The Inside of this wall was
filled with troops, who lay behind breastworks and
large cypress trees from twelve to twenty feet in
diameter—the seine trees which stood there in the
days of the far famed Montezuma himself. Again,
half way up the heights, was a strong sedan emir.
cling the whole front of the hill, which was also
filled with troops. The front of this hill below
the redam is as filled with mows charged +xi%
powder and filled with stones. to be ignited the
moment our troops should venture upon it. Above
this redan was soother wall covering the crest of
the hill, with a wide and deep ditch and counter.
•
scarp. Inside this wall was the main citadel. fill
•ed with troops, with eleven pieces of artillery,
some of them of the largest calibre, which swept
1 the summit of the hill and the approaches upon
all Rides.
This strong art li giant work held our army in
ellec:Wand cramped our °pram:rocs in all practica
ble approaches to the city.
in assaulting one of the outworks—the " mills"
—Gen. Worth lost, in killed and wounded, on the
sth lost , 814 men.
At length it became manifest to Gen. Scott and
the whole army, that we could proceed no further
until this work was-carried, and it was resolved
upon as a last desperate odor!, upon which the
very fate of our army depended. Gen. Pillow was
sent for by Gen. Scott, and was told, This work
must be taken," and said be had selected him to
do the work, and asked emphatically if he could
take it. Gen. Pillow replied that "he would carry
it, or be left dead upon the field." What a noble
sentiment—how glorious the result!
At daylight on the morning of the 12th, Pillow
made his feat movement by seising the Molina del
Rey. lle held this place that day under a heavy
fire from Chapultepec, and with an immense Lady
of the enemy& lancers on his left flank and rear .
During this day he thoroughly reconnoitered the
enemy's works, the approaches and ground, to
Chapultepec; and, at 10 o'clock, r , reported to
Gen. Scott that he was ready, and would assault
the work early next morning.
At 8 o'clock, on the morning of the 13th, hay
ing completed his dispositions, and given his order:,
in person, be ordered the advance; and most nobly
did his gallant command do their duty. They
entered the outer wall through two narrow gate.
ways, entering into the mills and one small breach
which was protected by a strong sand bag breast
work, under a concentrateafire into these apertures
from a long line of the entrenched enemy. They
dashed nobly forward over breastworks, through
ditches and marshes, to the foot of Chapultepec—
drove the enemy so rapidly up the heights, that
he could not fire his mines—drove them from the
redan, and into the very citadel, and scaled the
inner walls upon ladders, and captured the princi
pal fortification—taking 800 prisoners, among
whom was Major General Bravo, who was in corn
matid, Brigadier Generale Montude, Arriega, Dora
mentes, and SaWane, and killed two other brigadier
generate—captured 11 pieces of artillery, and kil•
led and wounded 1,200 of the enemy, In storm
ing the work General Pillow was, with his advanc•
ing forces, nobly and gallantly leading the assault,
when he was cut down by a grape shot, which
crushed his leg bone putt above the ankle-joint ;
but he male his men carry him forward, in order
to witness the consummation of the most glorious
victory that has been achieved by the American
arms; and he saw the "stars and stripes" planted
upon the citadel which had so long bid defiance to
us.
With Chapultepec fell two batteries at its base,
on the side next the city, and immediately after.
wards the city itself was ours: Hail Columbia."
The effect of these brilliant successes, in three
successive battles, has been to place General Pil
low in a high position in the profession of arms,
and among the first generals of our country. He
has shown himself to be possessed of military
talents of the first order, while he has established
a reputation for intrepidity and daring which fears
no danger. Though cut down at the very foot of
Chopultepec, ha had himself carried forward, un
der a terrible tire, and entered the work which-he
had so nobly and g - allantly stormed, just as the
"star.sp.ingled banner '• of his beloved country
was reared and floated gracefully to the breeze
over the walls of the castle.
In brilliancy this achievement is unsurpassed by
that of this ot any other army. I was myself an
eye-witness to the whole assault, and speak what
I know; and they are common Sentiments of the
army. When Gen. Scott camp up to where Gen.
Pillow Tay upon a wall of the citadel, with his leg
badly crushed by a large grape shot, he exclaimed,
" My dear General, I thank God for your glorious
success. Your country will cover you all . over
with honor, and will pour out its heart in gratitude
for your distinguished gallantry this day."
He is devoted to his division, and his division is
devoted to him ; and many have I heard express
their regreet that they were not attached to the
- command of this brave and meritorious officer,
whom future honors await.
Truly yours, VERITAS.
(It gives us pleasure to state, for the gratification
of the numerous friends of General Pillow, that
his wound is' rapidly recovering, and that he
indulges the dope of soon resuming his proper
