Rank Snakes and 4sh Tress.—lt is a curious fact, perhaps not generally known to Those unac: quainted with this reptile, that it has a great aver sion to a white ash tree. Strike it with within twig of this tree, and . the rattle-snake becomes convulsed. And with aueh a wand in his hand, a person may travel through the habitation of this venomous rep. Tile without fear of molestation. Thernlian, a ware of the virtues of this tree, strews ids couch and his wigwam with its leaves, and the hunter fill. his boots and his pocket with them—A gentle man, who was in the habit of bunting in the Pe quakett country not long since,gives us the follow ing illustration of the effect of the white ash upon the rattle snake : On returning from their traps one day, one of their party caught a rattle-snake, and brought it - .alive into camp. Accordingly, a winnow of leaves was gathered together in form of a circle; a seg went of the circle being composed entirely of ' the leaves of the white ash,= the remaining part. Of the leaves of the maple. The rattle snake was placedn within the circle, %'hich was fiflenn or twenty feet in diameter. The rattlesnake, in great fear and trembling, retreated towards the maple leaves; but here the experimenters met him with .‘ their ash twigs, and he was glad to stop bia course and laid his head dOwn in quiet submission. Aftef this manner had been essayed for some time, the segment of maple leaves was set on fire aad the hunters retired to watch the effect. The rattle snake raised 'his head, moved abmit in a small circle, turned his head towards the burning 'leaves, coiled himself for a throw, gave shrill rattle, and plunging into the flame, escped from the eircle.—Manthester Democr at. From the Inure of Commerce "THE wiLmor PROVISO." This celebrated proposition is arraying parties against each other and section - against section. Wherefore is this 2 The writer has mixed free ly with North and South for many years, and pro fesses to know something of the feelings of both. It is a prevalent feeling at the North, that the South `desires to extend the limits of slavery beyond Tex -as, into territory that may be acquired from Mex ico. This I must solemnly deny; and challan,ge the proof.. Is the proof to be inferred from the opposition of - the South to the Wilmot proviso ? No, that is a mistake; I fear a capital mistake. That proposition or proviso, is founded on the fasle assumption that the South aim to carry slavery beyond its present limits. Now, it this nation be fa'se, what becomes of the conclusion ? - . The South are opposed to.,thd Wilmot Proviso, not because itaims to limit the extension of de veryt but because it is founded on a false assunip gaigt""'fft effect alleges a feeling that does not • exist--it is meant to allege barbarity, and there. fore does it becomeoliensive. The allegation is wholly gratuitous. Although in principle the writer of this scrap is with the Wilmot Proviso—that is to say, the is as decidedly against the extension of slavery be yond the Rio Grande as . the rankest abolitionist; yet he thinks the agitation unecessary, mischiev ous, and calculated to defeat the object in view. Why can't the principle embraced in that proviso be allowed to slumber until the naked proppsition comes up to carry slavery over the Rio Grande ? It will be time enough. then to resist it; and the writer hopes eiery good wit, North and South, will help to put it down; and there is no doubt power enough to put it down at once, peaceably and constitutionally. Ye Democrats ! ye Whigs! who profess your selves to be favorable to the Wilmot Proviso, are ' you afraid to trust majorities? Dare you tell the people that . / If not afraid to trust the peOpl-, then why forestall them ? The progress ''of education through the country will qualify the future to take care of itself; there can .he no fear that the free principle will travel backward; posterity re: quires no counselling from the present generation in this matter. When New York was a slave State, whence came the coercing that forced her to becomi free? It was simply her interest—there lay the coercive power. OZ:r The English girl spends more than one half - of her waking hours in physical amusements, that is, in amusement which tend to develope and in vigorate, and ripen the bodily powers.

I have much to wri 3 e about, Ibut refer you to a Package I send to 'm father, with authority to. let you read it.

We have -been several times - deeeived .he hope antlreports (camp news,)' of u speedy return home; but the prospeet don't appear any better now, than when.we landed at Vera Cruz. It's true, we have got to their - Capital; fought With, and whipt then'', in ten or twelve 'battles; taken from 'them between live and six hundred, pieces of artillery, with any quantity of small !trms, and ammunition enough (if in.- the bands of good men) to drive our little squad beck into tite Gulf of Mexico;—and still they ,bang'out. IThey have moved their Congress to h place coiled Querataro, 10 leagues from bens; where they are at presenOn session, With, h poi,tion of Santa Anna's costattlly troops standing over them, for the purpose Of overawing them, and io keep them from speaking of peace; but.wait ;awhile, until the reinforcements come up, (Which' we ex pect every day) and we will send a few blue jackets out there, who will make them thiumis (run) in double quick time. That is said to be the c.alculation, as soon as they come up. At present there are hardly enough of us to feel secuie- in the city; and for a week or two, after we got possession, there was scarcely a' night, whe4 there were not two, three, or more Ameri cans ; assassinated is the streets. Even the senti nels Were stabbed on their posts; and the coward• ly racals, who were afraid to meet us face to face, in daylight, would find a way to stab our men, !at night ; but they had men to deal with. who .vould not bear with such proceedings long. so they began to retaliate; and for the life,ol one of the y ` New York Regiment, they took eight; and now ie place has become comparatively quiet— the stores and shops, that were all shut cm our entrance, have all opened up, and business is brisker now than it. has been for some timdbefore in this, city. Yon must not think that I am dying foil home —for I am just as happy as any soldier can be. There are lots of fun here.

I shall now proeeed to give ynlu a brief history of the many battles that have been fought, in the Valley of Mexico; but I suppose, ete this, you have had a More correct account, than I am able to furnish: 77 215 . 1,2 . On the seventh day of August, the army WaS t in motion from Puebla, to advance upon Capital ; and on the rOth of the same moth, first battle look place at Contieras, where enemy were entirely routed ; leaving twehty two pieces; of artillery on the field, which fell into our hands, with a large number of prisoners: During thejaction, the 2d Pennsylvania Reginient of voltudePrs: remained in San Augustin,: to guard a large wagon train, containing money and provisibns for the army ; which was thMat ened to be !Mucked by a body of Lancers, num bering fount or five thousand, They, howayer, kept at a 'f i ery respectable distance. Early on the morning of the 20th, the 2d Regiment, togeth er with two Regiments from Worth's Division, were started on the march for the scene oflac tion. We hastened, with all speed, to join our comrades. When near the place, a loud shout, was heard. Which was caused by the victory being ours. Gen.'2Fwiggs had taken up his positionjdu ring the night, and the work was done before we reached (him. Gen. Worth countermarched the three Rpgiments back to San Augustin.— The enemy 'tied to Churobusco, where they had another straitg battery; but here they were again defeated, on The same day; leaving: upwards: of thirty piecesi of cannon in the battery,—ambng which were three guns taken from Gen. Taylor, at Buena vista. An. armistice' then follovred, which lasted from the twenty-second of Aughst, to the seventh of September; when' Gen. SCett 'notified the ; enemy, 'that they had broken the armistice, and he would commence operationp— Ile was. as good as his word ; for early on the , Sth, the roar Pi cannon and musketry was heitrd in the direction of the city.

When withiu it' half mile of the Castle ofChapultepec, ouirregiinent was divi ded into difierent parties, to help tootbrow up bkteries.. The Company toi which I beltag, threw one tij, and mounted, two large guns, consisting; ot - 0ne.6,4 pound ho‘vitzerkand',one 24 pounder, -which proved' very destructive 'to the enemy in the Castle. The battery was not finish ed when daylight appeared. All were afraid that we would be:discovered and receive a shot from the Castle before we could retire under cover.— , The men worked with renewedactivity, to get done. In a very abort time, the enemy discov ered'our aitnationi and then they opened their fire upon us. ° Capt-Port4rVcompany, with two others, which were on the ground, retired under shelter; and re mained as d reserve in case- the enemy should charge the battery. The Castle is a beautiful building ; and it stands on a high hill; but its beauty was considerably diminished befcire night, by-the big guns of the Americans. At length . .the morning of the 13th September came, on which the grand effort was.to be made. The Castle was chargeir, and carried a' .. C:tlie.„ point of the bayonet; and the flag Of our countiy,Wayed frost its battle meats 'before . ten o'clock that - day. The second Pennsylvanid Regiment farmed a part of that storming party; and the gtorY that has been at tached to theline of troops furnished by old Penn sylvania,during the revolution, and the last war, was not in the, least diminished, on the 13th, by, the second Regiment. The Mexicans retreated towards the city in dismay ; . but rallied to make another stand at the different gates. The road on which General Quitman followed the enemy (he being our General) was the strongest fortified of any around. the city ;—fot the Grand Citadel of MexiCo is situated where the road enters the Capital. The second Regiment suffered severely from the 'fire of the Citadel, and a battery at the entrance of Cosine Gate. You might have an idea of how heavy and bot the fire was, when, ont,of nearly three hundred men, reported fit for duty'a few days previous, one hundred and twenty-two, were either killed or wounded. Night at length put a atop to the dreadful work, and the General gave orders to fill sand bags to make a breast work, to protect us from the fire in the morning, to which we were exposed on the preceding day. What was out surprise to see a white flag come in ,the morning, from the city. Yes, the enemy knew, full well, that preparations were going on during the night to renew the 'fight the next day i and they made good their retreat front the capital, leaving a free entrance for the 4. Vandals of the North," as they style Americans. The Army bad no sooner entered the capital, 'when the strictest military discipline became necessary. Soldiers had their throats cut by wandering to remote parts of the city. Sentinels were killed while on guard. Squads' of five and six men would go to Mexican taverns, get drunk and quarrel; when the Mexicans would fall upon them with their knives, either killing or cutting them in a most shocking manner. • A month or more has'elapsed since our troops first occupied the city; and all has now be. 'come peace and quiet. The ' white flags , that floated from every house as an emblem of protec non have all disappeared. Stores are no longer closed ; and business begins, to assume its usual aspect. The people also think that the Ainericans are not such' robbers and rascals as they were represented to be; I shall , now draw mfi letter to a close; bOpiitithat the next one I write, may be in my own .. ative country, when I shall no longer be subject to the rules and regulations of a soldier's life. 1 remain your most affectionate son, 1 7 .1)WARD S.lllll ki Buchanan. . It is presdmed that, at the approaching. Dem o, critic National Convention, the nomination of a!, candidate for the Presidency, will be conceded to the northern States. In this event, there is tin, State in the whole Union, which can pregent • as strong claims as oh! democratic Pennsylvania. In -all the great contests for the maintenance of de. mocratic principles, and the retention of that pow. er,the exercise of which has made us a great people, and consolidated am extensive and growing empire, what State has fought the good fight, and led the way like . Pennsylvania She has es er been fore most among the advancing! She has ever been the fulcrum of the democratic party, and thus she has acquired the expressive and appropriate appel lation of the Keystone of the federal arch. And yet, since the foundation of the government, no , one has been selected from .within her border's as a democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Virginia, :Massachusetts, Tennes see, New York and Ohio, have been permitted to take the precedence, and Pennsylvania has stood' in the back ground. It is now time, however, that her claims should be pressed upon the National Convention. Of the several distinguished individuals whose names have been used in connection with the Pre sidency, there is no one, I believe, who stands so strong in the affections of the people of Pennsyl vania, as JAMES BUCHANAN. Ile is by birth a Pennsylvaniar, and a Pennsylvanian in feeling. He has risen from humble life, to his present dis tinguished position, by the force of his talents, and by a purity of life and conduct which has carried with it the esteem and regard of men of all par ties. Mr. Buchanan is unquestionably the sound ! est statesman now at Washington. His papers from the department of State, indicate a peculiarly able mind, combining great sagacity with singular prudence and caution. Without ultraism, his course has been 'always open and manly; and um biguity is not one of his resources, when called up on to define his position. He has never truckled for office; not has he ever traf4clied with his vote for ulterior purposes. He has ever been for , the good of his native State, and that of the . Whole U nion. At the Baltimore Convention of .1814, in order to promote harmony and unanimity, he with drew his name from the list of nominees, and thus sacrificed himself. With these views, I ask the Democracy, not only of Pennsylvania, but of her sister States, to respond to the name of James Buchanan for the ~„Presidency. Let the democrats rally at their pri .mary meetings and county conventions, and let them instruct their delegates to carryto'Harrisburgh, pn the 4th of March next, the assurance, that James Buchanan is the choice of the people!

THE PRES' DENC Y.L— * GEORGE M. DALLAS • • - - - .As the'betnoCrats of this State will shortlybe: called upon to express their Prefi?enies for the.• Presidency, I oak leave' through your columns to . make a few suggestions in relution-to \that sub It is geneMlly conceded that :Pennsylvania is entitledJO the nomination. Such being the case it become's' her to bring forward her ablest and stron gest man, and to present him to the Convention, if possible, with the unanimous apprval of his own State. The question then arises who is <the strongest man in Pennsylvania,- and whoie name is Most likely to receive the concentrated vote of her democracy.' This is a question with regard to which there may be some diversity of opinion, but it is a question which can easily be settled by recurring to certain facts which ' must be taken as unmistakeable indications of. the feelings of the people. . Last week the Dervicicracy of Philadelphia coun ty, in one of the largest meetings ever held in that county, expressed their decidapreferen ee for 'Penn sylvania's favorite son,' George M. Dallas, and ur ged the propriety of his nomination in stron., terms on the party. This is Mr. Dallas' own county, and that was the expression of his neigh bore, of those who had known him long and inti mately, and who now Wish to show their appreci ation of his talents. his integrity, and his devoted services to his party-and to his Country, by placing him in nominption for the highest office in the gift of his countrymen. Had they spoken otherwise, bad this vast assemblage of his party in his own county, refused to endorse him, or had they by any act of theirs shewn any want of confidence in him, I would have thought it the duty of the party to hesitate and, to look elsewhere kir their nominee, because I consider that a man's own immediate neighbors, having the- best opportunities, are but able to form correct opinions of him. Lancaster county,_ too, the honic i of Mr.- Buchan an, in a way-and on on occasitinmot to be misun. derstood, has manifested her decided . preference, and will send delegates to the convention in favor of George M. Dallis. In fact, I believe there is but little difference of opinion on the subject in the Eastern part of ihe state. They know there that Mr. Dallas will ',awaken greater zeal, and car ry more strength with-him into the contest, than any man who can 1.1. placed in the nomination They see the enthusiasm of the people in his favor and they know that it is spontaneous not brought about by the , bestowal of official patronage, not fanned into life by hireling partizans. am doing no injustice then to' any one, when I say that Mr. Dallas at the present time, is by many thousands the strongest man in Pennsylvania, nor in saying -that Pennsylvania will ,ally to his support with more zeal and with more certainty of success than with any other candidate that can be noipinated. Why it is,.l will not pretend to . say, but, that so it is, no candid observer Will deny:, Perhaps it may be accounted for in the . fact, that Mr. Dallas not only is, but al ways has beeu a Dem• ocrat. He is a Democrat now, in the war of 1847, and he was a Democrat in the war of 1812. Always found riding with the country an with her interests, he was among the foremost to take his stand along with the great and gOod Jackson in the war which he declireit upon the United States,Bank, and no threats or persuasions 'cotild drive bim from his position until the final over. throw of the monster. Since then he has filled various high trusts always with .fidelity -toy his country, and in a manner reflecting credit on him self. This then is the man, whom Pennsylvania pre sents to the Union, as her "favorite son," asking credit at their hands, when she tells them he isrwor thy of .their confidence, that no trust reposel in him will be misplaced, and that his whole life front his youth down hi the present time is a guar antee of what his future course will be. In conclusion I will saylhat I have no incline ition or desire to dilparage the claims of other can. didates. But the stake in this contest , is a high one, and if we wish to win it, we must play for it carreftilly. We , Must select as our candidate, u man who is strong in the affections of the people, and whose past. life present few vulnerable points to our enemy. lii looking for such a candidate, I in common with aigreat majority of the Demo crats of this State ? have concluded, that George M. Dallas is the man. ' NO COMPROMISE. Death of klr.lllngh Hellas Alward. We have received a copy oflthe '-Flag of Freed. in," Published Piebla:Me.iico; containing a notice of the deceaSe of the estimable young gen tlarnan whose name is 'given above. With his many - friends, we can unite in lamenting his early death; for it was our fortune to know him inti mately, and we- always looked upon him as the possessor of every generous and manly quality. " When blooming youth is snatched away, By death's resistless hand, Our hearts the mournful tribute pay Which pity must demand." We give below, the notice M. his death, as pub lished in the Flag of Freedom. .Dial.—ln the city of Puebla, Mexico, on the 2Gth inst., II 13. ALwann, private in the "Du• 'quesne Gre3s," Capt. John' Herron, Ist. Pa. Reg. Volunteers. The deceased was a young than in the prime of life, and universally beloved by all who knew him. Fur a number of years previous to his vaunteer ing to fight the battles of his country in Mexico, he was a clerk in the U. S. District Court, for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where, by his business qualifications, and strict attention to the duties of his office, he won the confidence and good will of all with whom he came in contact. As a soldier—he was brave and generous—as a man, affable and polite, and as a friend, trustworthy and confiding. " Peace to his ashes." His friends may be assured that no attention was wanting on- the part of Capt. Herron and his friends, to alleviate his sufferings in life and honor him in death. A few days previous to his death, the detachment of which he xas a member,. was ordered to escort Col. Wynkoop's command to Perote, and few were left of the Regiment to perform the duty of burial, when the " Rough and Ready " and " Queen City Suards," together with the "Ohio Military Band," upon request, kindly assisted upon the sad duty, for whose promptness we feel grateful, and can as sure them that the "Iron City Volunteers" are ever ready at their call. • Communicated. We were happy to see the band of Col. Brong,h's Ohio Regiment, as well as a large number of its soldiers, turn out to the- funeral of B. Alward, of the Ist Pennsylvanin Vr)lunteers, on. Wednesday last. This is as it should be—soldiers should be brothers, and whether we belong to-one State or another, we are all members of the same great family, fighting for the same cause, advancing the same interests, and the greatest possible harmony between the several parts will and must insure that brotherly feeling which all combatants for the rights ,o 1 our country should have for each other.=.F/ag of Freedom. Female Socie y.—Without female society, it has been justly said, that the beginning of men's lives would be . helpless, tne middle without pleasure; and the end without comfort. The celebrated d'- Alembert makes a reflection that does honor to the female sex, and to his own feeling., "We are in a peculiar manner," says he, "in want of the society of a gentle and amiable woman when our passions have subsided, to,participate in our care's," calm and alleviate our sufferings, and enable us to sup port our infirmities.: Happy is the man possessed of such a friend! and more happy still if he can pre serve her, and escape the 'misfortune of a . sut viral." These are secret workings in human affairs, which overrule all human contrivance, and coun terplot the wisest of our counsels, in so strange and unekliected a manner, as to cast a damp upon. our best schemes and warmest endeavors. The great business of man, therefore, is the regulation of his spirit; the posession of such a frame and temper of mind as will lead us peaceably though this world, and in the many weary stages of it, al fords us what we shall be sure to stand in need of, "rest unto OUT souls."—Sterne.
