lilt Retirement treat MUltarr Service. .
The Southern mail of yesterday brines us
additional account of the movements of Gen.
Taylor, President elect of i tho United States,
lie left Baton Rouge on Wednesday evening,
111 Mth ult., on the steamer Princess, for liis
plantation, where he would remain until the
Slat, when he would leave fotf Vicksbsrg, on
board the steamer which was to convey him
to Nashville, reaching Vicksburg that night.
He would be accompanied by quite a num
ber of friends, among them Mr. Benjumhi,
one of the Louisiana electors; the lion. Bai
ley Peyton, Wm L. Hodge, the able editor
of the Buffer in ; M r. Van Allen, of N e w York,
nd Maj. Garrett of the army. Stopping a
few hours at Memphis he would proceed to
Nashville, and thence via Louisville, Cincin
nati, Frankfort, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, and
Baltimore, to Washington, where he hopes to
arrive about the 20th instant. The N. 0.
Picayune of the 2fth ultimo, publishes the fol
lowing order, announcing tho final withdraw
al of Gen. Taylor from the military service of
the Country. Though called to higher and
more responsible duties, ve can readily con
ceive, says the Piesyttne, the pain it has cost
him to sunder his connection with the army.
It is more than lorty years since he received
his commission from President Jefferson as
lieutenant of the 7th Infantry. Never was a
military career more perfect in its propor
tions. In each grade of the service, he won
honorable distinction, and the crowning glory
, of his military life was not achieved until af
ter he had attained by brilliant deeds, the
highest military rank known to our laws.
Then the people took him up, and they have
placed hi in in a position to devclope the great
capacities of his nature on the grandest thca
tre of action. The quulities of his mind are
' of the heroic sort, which adapt men for mo
menlous issues. No shade of distrust disturbs
our anticipations that the civil career of Gen.
Taylor will confer new splendors upon him'
I self and his country.

Having received official notice of the ac
ceptance of his resignation, Maj. Gen. Tay
lor relinquishes the command of the Western
Division, which, in conformity with "General
Orders" No. I, will be assumed by Maj. Gen
Gaines. '
In resigning his command to the veteran
and distinguished chief appointed to succeed
him, the General cannot withhold an expres-
sion of his regret at his separation from a ser
vice to which he is attached by so many
pleasing and prond associations. To the ofii
cers and men who have served his immedi
ate orders, ha would here express his parting
thanks for their zealous and cordial support
in the execution of the duties confided to him
during a long and eventful service. To them
and to all he extends a heartfelt farewell
and his warmest wishes for their continued
happiness and success in the arduous and
honorable career which they have chosen,

in the first Cabin, will be found the names
of our young friends Lieut. Wm. J. Martin

ment, the ship Xylon punctually left this port
at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, a bright
sky over head, andvwith a delightful breeze
The utmost care has been taken in regard to
fitting her out to secure the comfort of the
passengers, the whole arrangements being
under the immediate direction ot Messrs.
John Henderson & Co., ship's agents. We
understand from some of the friends who re
turned in the steamer that accompanied her
down the river, that harmony and the most
pleasant social feeling prevailed on board the
ship, and that every thing went off well.
The Xylon carries out to the ''Land ot rrom
ise" one hundred and forty passengers, tbe
largest number by far that has left this port.
The cargo is a very valuable one, her mani
fest measuring over 22 feet in length. The
freight and passage money amoiThts to over
$36,000, the highest figure reached by any
vessel that has ever left Baltimore. The fol

On the morning of the 23d ult., the citizens
of Baton Rouge assembled for the puiposo of
paying their respects to Gen, Taj lor, previous
. to his departure for Washington, to assume
the duties of President of the United States.
: The correspondent of the Pioayiine says the
; procession formed at 1 1 o'clock, and proceed
ed te tbe residence of Ge'n. Taylor, who re
ceived his visiters with his nsual kindness of
manner, and an animated conversation ensu
ed, mainly confined to matters of personal
interest, such as usually takes place between
neighbors and intimate friends. After having
1 partaken of some refreshments, the General
was, at the instance of many present, addres
sed "by J- B- Thorpe, Esq., in the following
1 language:
"General 1 have been deputed by your
fellow citizens to bid you their adieus on
'this interesting occasion. It is with painful
emotions that they have assembled to say
farewell. In parting with you, nothing re
conciles them to their loss, except the full
knowledge that you are needed by your coun
try elsewhere. Believe me, General, when
1 say, that you will leave behind you in Ba
ton Rouge, a united community of personal
. friends, every member of which, young and
eld, joins in a heartfelt prayer that you and
your family may, in your future home, be
blessed with long life, continued health and
unbounded prosperity."
To which Gen. Taylor, with much emo
tion, replied in tbe following words:
"Gentlemen, 1 assure you it js with feel
ings of no ordinary character, that 1 meet
with my fellow-citizens on this occasion.
many of whom I have been associated with
for more than a quarter of a century. Had 1
. consulted my own wishes, 1 should have much
preferred to retain the ofliue I am how abou.
to vacate, and lmv remained among you ;
but the people have, without my solicitation,
seen fit to elevate me to another, and although
I fear I am not qualified to discharge the
' great and important duties imposed upon me,
yet be assured, fellow-citizens, I shall endea
vor to fulfil them without regard to fear, fa.
- vor or affection for any one.
"Permit me, my friends, at parting, to in
oke tSod'it blessing upon you all, and may He
grant that you and your families may enjoy
. long me tr.i, prosperity- Farewell."
The general' delivered the above address
with unusual' feeling, and it was responded to
in a truly heartfelt manner by many eray
haired citizens, who have for so many years
Dean his menus and neighbors.
Or. Tarter Faadlr.
The family of Geu. Taylor, accompanied
by CjI. Bliss and lady,, arrived in New Or

would proceed to Washington in few days by
the Southern route.

The Gold Mania. The rage for
the California gold region still continues.
Vessel after vessel is leaving at the differ
ent ports, and a large number are adverti
sed for sailing soon. That nine tenths will
reap disappointment instead of a fortune,
we have no doubt.
This has ever been the case, as all history
proves, and if California should prove an
exception, it will be the only one the worl
has produced.
It is estimated that in a very short time
fifty thousand persons will be in California
in search of fortunes. If we allot only ten
thousand dollars to each one, the aggregate
would amount to 600 millions, which is
50 millions more than the estimated gold
and silver of the whole world.

THE TARIFF OF VMS.
The result of Secretary Walker's ad val
orem system is beautifully exemplified in
the prostration of nearly all our Iron Works.
In Danville, of the numerous works, but
one furnace is in operation, and that will
the line extending from the Lackawanna riv
er to the northern boundary ef Pennsylvania,
a distance of 94 miles, had detached sections
upon it completed, amounting in the aggre
gate to 324 miles, and upon the remaining
distance, 61 miles, more or less work has
been done upon almost every mile.
The dimensions of this canal correspond
with the other State Canals below it, having
a width of 28 feet on the bottom ; 40 feet at
the surface, ond 4 feet deep of water. The
locks are 90 feet long by 17 feet wide in the
chamber ; and the lockage from the mouth
of the Lackawanna to the State line averages
but little over ten feet to the mile ! Its capa
city, when completed, would therefore beam-
pie to pass one million of tons each way, per
aimum. i he cslwmea cost oi me various uo-
scriptions of work yet remaining to be done,
is $1,106,037. This amount is contemplated
for a permanent and useful work dispensing
with all ornament and only providing for
what is necessary to make it substantial.
This completed, and we could at the very
least supply with coal without possible com
petition from any quarter all the country west
of TJtica, inclusive, comprising a geographi
cal area of more than one half of the State of
New York. There being no duty on this
description of coal in Canada, it would be in
troduced there, and find its way, through the
Welland Canal, upon all the upper lakes. It
is estimated by the friends of the Extension
that when completed, Wyoming coal can be
delivered at Buffalo for $5,i0 per Ion, and at
Oswego, on Lake Ontario, for SS ; paying at
these prices a better profit than it now sells
in the Atlantio cities.
The Salt Works of New York alone would
probably consume at once 75,000 tons per
year. There is now consumed at Syracuse
and other salt villages, not less than 400 cords
of wood per day ; and it ;9 brought, in some
cases, a distance of 20 or 30 miles.
It is a fair estimate, that the very first year
after the completion of the Canal, not less
stances were alluded to and animadverted
upon. ' M.i " '. '
Mr. Niles replied. He said that if a som
erset had been made, it had been made by
the other party. Parties sometimes lout sight
of their most cherished principles; but his
conscience did not accuse him of tergiversa
tion in the matter. As for the gentleman
from Ohio, he (Mr. Niles) accused him of the
feat which had been attributed to himself.
Not only had Mr. Allen made a somerset on
the tariff question, but he had done so at E
ecutive dictation.
There was a further discussion between
these gentleman, in which frequent allnsion
was made to alleged political inconsistencies
Mr. Pearce was opposed to the free circula
tion of newspapers. He thought that the in
terests of the public would not be advanced
by such a measure. He was in favor of a
low uniform rate of postage for newspapers.
The debate was further continued by

k POINTED SAYING.
George Lippard writes many truths, and
prints them in hi? Qr.xker City. But he nev
er wrote a more truthful or pointed saying.
tlur.'i ine following :
"Never answer s calumniator. If you will only
give s rattlesnake time enough, he will hits him
self, and die of his own venom."
We have clipped the above from the
Bradford Reporter, and would ask the edi
tor if he thinks the "saying" applicable to
editors of newspapers. If so, how will he
reconcile it with his unjustifiable and un
provoked abuse of Gen. Cameron. The
General no doubt is of Mr. Lippard's opin
ion, as he never permits these squibs to dis
turb his equanimity.
The great influx of iron from England, un
der the ruinous prices there, t the cause,
and no one but a knave or a dunce would
presume to de;,y it. In 1846 under the
tariff qi 1842, the imports of pig iron were
13,918 tons, which in 1847 under the ef
fects of the tariff of 1846 increased to 44,
993 tons, and in 1848 to 90,245 tons, or
more than half the entire exports of Eng
land to the whole world. The entire ex
ports of England in 1846 were 119,100
tons; in 1S4S, 162,151 tons. Thus, while
the exports of English iron to other coun
tries, in two years, has been decreased 33,
000 tons, the export to this country have

Suit of all this must be, that our iron works
must stop; our home markets be depressed;
our canal tolls decreased, and our State
taxes increased to make up the deficiency.
A Whlj Rtflrctrd Tie ia the Hmue.
Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 6.
At the special election in Clinton county,
Ohio, the Whig candidate has been re-elected
to the Legislature. This ties parties in
the House.
02r The address of the Convention of a
portion of Southern members, in relation to
the subject of slavery, is now published in
pamphlet form. It is written by John C.
Calhoun, and is signed by only a portion of
the Southern members ol Congress, many of
them refusing to give their sanction to the
dangerous and peculiar doctrines of such
men as Mr. Calhoun, threatening disunion
in case their demands are not complied
with.
IT?" Woman's Curiosity. Much has
been said and written about woman's curi
osity, but we were not aware, until recent
ly, that there had been a judicial decision
upon the subject, judge wared it seems
has assumed tbe fearful responsibility, and
in a legal'opinion recently given, remarked
in substance, that, "If a man had been guilty
of listening at a key hole, he would be in
clined to suspect kit integrity but that
woman's natural curiosity would render it
in her txeuifblt." . 1
EF"' Tius Ice Business. According to a
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, the num.
ber of ice houses above the dam on the
Schuylkill ia 20, varying, in capacity, from
500 to 5,000 tons each. Ine amount of
ice secured this season, is estimated at 60r
000 tonn The cost oft bouse capable of
holdintr 5.000 tons if about $5,000. The
time consumed in filling such a house,
nearly three weeks, with fifty hands per
day, besides several horses. Tht cost may
therefore be estimated, allowing the bands
ft per day, at 91000, or 20 cents per ton,
This we presume is nearly the expense at
this place. ,

to have the same acted upon. The motion
was lost.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, obtained unani

upon the President for infirmation in regard
to the existence of a protocol signed by the
American Commissioners and the Mexican
Minister, Rosas, declaring the amendments
to the treaty of peace, by the American Sen
ate, to be matters of form and not of sub

The resolution were read by the Clerk.
The resolutions being, before the House,
Mr. Stephens made a lengthy speech. -He
believed, he said, in the existence of this pro
tocol, and in case it was not produced upon
this call of the House, he would move for the
appointment of a Committee, with power to
send for persons and papers. .
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, followed, reply'
ing to Mr. Stephens' remarks with considers'
ble warmth. He alluded to the letter written
by Mr- Buchanan to the Mexican Govern
ment on the subject, and said that the letter
was similiar in its tenor to the protocol.
Here Mr. Houston wss interrupted (on
leave) and interrogated by Messrs. Stephens
and Toombs.
Mr. Houston resumed his remarks in de
fence of the President. He said that the Pre'
sident had been assailed by the gentleman
from Georgia in such language which could
inflict no possible injury upon the President)
but it was language of that kind which is not
used by one gentleman when speaking of an
other on the floor of that House.
