GENtflAL I'lERCE A AN OFFICER.
We publish this week the following let
ter from Gen. Wynkoop, in reply to a let
ter addressed to him by Judge Palmer and
others, at Potdville, in relation to the roil
itary qualification! of Gen. Franklin Pierce,
our candidate for the Presidency. Geo.
Wynkoop had every opportunity of judg
ing of the qualification! of Gen. Pierce,
and speaks of him in the highest termt ai
do all tvbo know him, as a statesman, sol
dier, and a gentleman.
Washinotoh, D. C, Jvit 9, 158.
Gentlemen
I am obliged to you for your let
ter of July Cih, and lake crl pl9Ure '"
promptly replying to it. During the last
war with Mexico, I knew General Franklin
Tieiica personally anil well, but it is proper
lo nay that it mas not my pood fortune to
participate with him in tho!e several battles
wherein he earned for himself so justly the
hij;b reputation of a gallant soldier and a
good General.
My knowledge of Gen Pierce, was how
ever the reflected opinion of the whole
army. From the rank and file, upward, he
was universally reparded as a discriminating
elf sacrificing and devoted officer. The
men esteemed it a favor to serve with him,
and officers deemed themselves unusually
fortunate to be brigaded under his com
mand. The united testimony of Gens. Scott, Quit
man, Shields, Pillow, and others, amply
concur in (his regard, and the detailed histo
ry of his services makes tip an agcregato
which the fair, truth Living American can
not consider without pride.
When tliu requisition was made upon the
Stale of New Hampshire for volnnteers,
Franklin Pierce was the first to enroll him
eelf as a private in the ranks. Fired by his
example, in an almost incredibly short space
-( timo two Companies Were organized, and
the Ten Regiment Bill having passed in the
meanwhile, Mr. Polk tendered him the
Colonelcy of the 9th Regiment of Infantry
to which command the New Hampshire
companies were attached. Ignorant of the
minor details of the seivico and knowing
that the regiment required immediate pre
paration for the field, he modestly declined
tha appointment in favor of Col. Ransom, a
soldier by education, and who, a few months
later, gloriously fell whilst leading that reg
iment to tliu assault upon Chepultepee.
General Pierce was afterwards offered the
appointment of Brigadier General, which he
accepted, and immediately entered upon the
duties of I j is new position, with alaciity and
decision, lie arrived at Vera Cruz, during
the mo.t pestilential season of the whole
year, (June 23, 1817.) and found there a
camp tiiicd with disease and death. Leav
ing that point in the middle of July with the
Oth 12th and 15th Infantry, (in all about
2503 men.) he made one of the most rapid
und successful marches recorded during the
whole war. His troops were new and to a
great extent undisciplined the road was be
aut with Guerrillas along the whole line, and
tho heat was intensely oppressive ; yet
ateadily, firmly and bravely he encounteicd
these difficulties, always leading, always
encouraging, nntil he reported to Scott, at
Puebla, with slighter loss in proportion to
the size of his command than that sustained
by any other commander under like circum
stances. At the National Bridge, when at
tacked by Guerrillas, he led his command
against the barricades, and in the oharge
received a ball through hia hat. The news
of his successful progress had preceded him
to Perotc, and upon his arrival there I found
in him all that could attach to the respect
aud adruiraticn of a soldier.
Con. Pierce saw his first general battle at
Contreras, August 19, 18-17. Gen. Scott, in
describing :hi details of this engagement
says that Gen. Pierce was "mors than three
hours under a heavy fire of Artillery) and mus
kets along the almost impassible ravine in
front and to the left of the entrenched camp
Besides twenty-two pieces of Artillery, the
camp and ravine were defended closely by mas
ses of Infantry, and these again supported by
clouds of Cavalry at hand and hovering in
view.
Gen. Pierce was ordered forward with the
9th and 12th Regiments ut about 2 o'clock;
and it was late in the evening of the eame
day, after having been exposed to a mur
derous tire of mora than three hours, that
his horse fell am', injured him. An old
friend of mine and an officer of distinction,
told me at tliu time of Pierces' advance upon
Valencia's camp at Contreras. he was stand
ing beside Major General Twiggs, watching
their approach, and as they came up under
that withering fire, led by an officer on
black horse, Tw iggs exclaimed, ' By Hea
vens it is the gallant old Thirdsee how
steadily they move up." It was the Ninth
Infantry, and Pirn leading !
Although severely hurt and sufficiently to
have justified his retiring under Surgical
treatment, we find him again in the field on
the next day, and here I propose to give
Geneial Scott's own testimony to hia con
duct. In his report of August 28lh, when
speaking of the occurrences on the 20ih he
(ays "Accordingly the two advanced divisons
and Shields1 Brigade marched from Contreras
under the immediate orders of General Pillow
who was now joined by tin gallant Brigadier
General Fierce of his division, personally
thrown out cf activity late the evening before
by a severe hurt receivei from the fall of his
horse.''
Then again, General Scott aaya, "tiert but
all in ten minutes) I sent Pierce (just able to
keep his saddle) with his Brigade, (Pillow's
Division) conducted by Captain Lee, Engineer
by a third route a little further to our left, to
o ted the enemy's right and rear in order to
fxvor the movement urea the Convent and tut
off the retreat towards the Capital ; and finally
Shields, senior Brigadier to Puree with the
Jfw York and South Carolina Regiments,
(Qfnum's Division) teas ordered to follow
Puree tlostly and to lake the command of our
lift wing. All that movements vert mods
with the utmost alacrity by our gallant troops
ana commanders."
n.1 . .
i no succossiul termination of these two
great battles was followed by the armlstioe,
and such waa the deference paid by the Commander-in-Chief
to General Pierce'e high
abilities, that he cbose him as ona of tha
Commissioners along with Quitman and
Smith, to manage the detaila cf that delicate
negotiation. ' J! 'I
General Pierce'a services however did not
end here, for on the 8th of September we
find him wjth he 9ih and 8d Regiments of
Infantry under a heavy fir from the bat
teries at Chapnltapeo, covering successfully
the retreat of Cadwallader and Garland'
Brigades from the field at Molino del Rey. '
The last great battle of the Campaign waa
the storming of C'bapultapeo and on that day
he was confined by illness to hi bed. Hia
Major General speaking of him on this occa
sion says, " regret that 1 was deprived of the
services of my brave, talented and accomplished
Bragaditr General Pieru, who was confined
to a nek M." . .. 5 I
Thus have 1 given to you, gentlemen, a
rapid but correct history of General Pierce's
military services, corroborated and endorsed
by bis Commander-in-Chief and present po.
litical antagonist, General Scott. No man
with a panicle of faitness in hi moral con
formation, can listen with complacency to
that miserable trickery of tha opposition
which insinuates aught against hia gallant
and chivalrio qualities.
Always preferring the quiet walks of life
and the pursuit of hia profession, to the tur
moil and excitement of the world without
it was only in the dark hour of national trial
that he abandoned them for the perils and
privationa of the Camp ; and when the last
battle was fought and the war virtually con
eluded, he relumed unobtrusively tobia New
England home and resumed among the peo
pie of his Slate those occupations which had
attached to him such a host of devoted
friends and admirers.
His history as a statesman the high offi
ces he has so eminently filled, and the
higher officers he has rejected, are events
well known to you all and need no repeti
tion or comment from me.
As the embodiment of a high principle
and the representative of a party which
has always sacrificed everything to the na.
tional welfare and honor, let me unite with
you in the hope that the good old State we
love and live in, will be found triumphant'
ly supporting him in the coming contest.
For the sake of common justice I sincor
ly trust the Federal enemies of the last
war with Mexico, will not be permitted
again to outrage political decency by trad
ing upon the glorious results of that cam
paign for the successful election of their
present candidate.
Very Respectfully, i
(our friend and fellow citizen,
FRANCIS M. WVNKOOP.

A Convention of the Free Colored people
of Maryland, assembled to-day, in this city
to consult upon the propriety of removing to
Liberia. The Convention was composed of
delegates from the various counties, and
many were largely represented. Great ex
citement and much antipathy toward the
Convention was manifested among the low
er classes of negroes, who assembled in
large numbers, and mobbed the Convention
so a to interrupt the proceedings. The po
lice interfered to protect the member from
assault, but notwithstanding, several were
caught and beaten, among them the Rev.
Dariui Stoke. A number of arrest were
made. The organization of the convention
was completed and an adjournment took
place until to-morrow.

COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Democratio Electors of Northumber
land county, are respectfully requested to
meet at the usual places of holding election
in their respective borough and townships,
on
Saturday the ith day of Autust next,
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
Democratio County Convention, to be held
in Sunbury on the following Monday, to
form a democratio ticket to be supported at
the ensuing fall election.
As there are two separate election districts
in the township of Coal, and as the township
is entitled to but two delegates, the standing
committee recommend that the democratic
electors that vote at Shamokin town shall
elect one delegate, and the democratic elec
tors voting at Tievorton shall elect the other
delegate.
At the suggestion of many of the demo
crats of the County, the standing commit
tee deem it advisable to request the boroughs
and townships to instruct their delegates for
the candidates they prefer for the different
offices, in order lhat the will of the people
may be arrived at.

since, we lost dark green morocco pocket

it recovery.
87 The delegate election will be held
on Saturday the 14th of August, not the
16th, a wa published, on account of an
error in the manuscript.
E7" Error, corrected. We announ
ced the name of Dennii Buoy, jr., last
week, a a candidate for commissioner.
This was an error, which we have since
corrected in Mr. Buoy's advertisement,
who is a candidate for tha office of Regis

DatSTRTJCTIOIt OF THE NORTH VMBER
LAND BRIDGE BT A TORNADO.
Oo Thursday evening about half past 6
o'clock a violent tornado suddenly passed
over thu place, and in it course, we regret
to (ay, swept from it foundation that por
tion of the Northumberland bridge spanning
the river from the Island to the Sunbury
shore. Tb bridge now lie crushed, in
mass of ruins, above th pier. Mr. Krum,
who resides on the Grant farm at the east
em end of the bridge, had just driven off
with four hor team, and by the time he
reached hi barn, about 20 yards distarit,
he aw the whole structure raised up and
hurled into the river.' 1 Mr. Jame Smith
who wai hauling in grain, on the Island,
was just preparing to drive over the bridge
to thi place. Fortunately no person was
on at tha time. The Northumberland
Bridge Company have been singularly un
fortunate. The old bridge were erected
in 1S15 at a cost of $90,000. tn th
spring of 1839, the bridge on the Northum
berland side fell, and was rebuilt about a
year after, at an expense of about $20,000.
Several years after the Danville bridge was
wrpt off by the flood, and in its course,
came in contact with the new Northumber
land bridand carried off" all but one
span. The bridge was again rebuilt the
year after. About four year since the old
bridge on the Sunbury side was destroyed
by the freshet, and was rebuilt the year fol
lowing, and now lies in the stream above
the piers a perfect wreck. The bridge just
destroyed was badly constructed, the arch
e being so much sprung the first year of
its construction, that it required repairing,
The telegraph wires, passing through the
bridge to thi place, being severed, has of
course cut oil our means of communication
at present, by telegraph.
Sly The Supreme Court in session at
this place, adjourned on Tuesday afternoon
last, after a sesrion of sixteen day the
shortest session we have had for a number
of years. As this was the first session held
by the new Judges, elected by the people,
it is but just to say that the people have no
cause to regret the change in the constitu
tion, making the Judiciary elective. In
their proceedings during their session at
this place, they have given entire satisfac
tion to all parties. The present Bench is
able, courteous, dignified, and impartial.
15" There is tome difficulty at present
with the British government in regard to
our Fisheries. The matter will be, how
ever, a subject for negotiation and settled
by treaty. The New England State have
eight or ten millions of dollar invested in
these fisheries. The Americans have a
right to fish in any waters within three
milet of any British coast, but not to cure
their fish on British territory, which it
tometimet done.
E7 The Susquehanna Rail Road Com-
pant vs The Sunbury and Rkie Rail Road
Company. On Tuesday last in the Supreme
Court, after tome 20 minutes of consulta
tion, Chief Justice Black delivered the
judgment of the court, ordering the injunc
tion prayed for to be issued, upon the
plaintiffs giving bond in the turn of $10,'
000. The opinion of the court wat with'
held out of deference to Judge Woodward,
who dissented, until the court meets at
Pittsburg, in September next.
Prentice, of the Lnnisvillo Journal, says.
"nearly the whole population of the country
seem now to De upon Hie Whig platform.
The Whig are standing on it, and a good
many of the Democrats are lying on it."
f7" The above it one of the numerous
clever joket, perpetrated by Prentice. The
real state of the case which gives our whig
friend so much trouble is, the fact, that
many of the whig themselves will neither
stand or lie upon the whig platform, but
speak out the plain truth. Greely of the
New York Tribune, says he spits upon the
platform, and of course will neither stand
or lit upon it.
A Camp Meeting will be held, on
the ground of John Farnswortb, Esq.,
about three mile from Sunbury, commen
cing on Monday the 16th of August.
A Camp Mealing will also bv held at
Sodom, on the ground of John Vories, six
m!- east ut Milton, commencing on Mon
day the 9th of August next.
Reaping machine are coming into
general use. We have teen McCormick't
Reaper in operation in thit place, tome,
however, prefer Hussey't, which, it it said
in an experiment, in Maryland, among a

REGISTRY OF BIHTIIS, DEATHS AND
MARRIAGES.
The new law in relation lo these mat
ter went into operation on the 1st of July
inst. The law meets with considerable
opposition in consequence of imposing du
ties without any remuneration. ( The phy
sician it required to make a record of each
death in a book kept for (hat purpose, and
"return the same, duly signed, in the form
of a Certificate" under a penalty bf five dol
lar. He i also required to make a return
of each birth under his attendance though
no penalty is attached for neglect. When
there it no physician in attendance, the
parents are bound to make the return. The
two following lections contain the princi
pal enactments. ' '
Section third makes it the duty of every
physician under whose care a birth shall
hereafter oecnr, lo make a record at once of
eucti birth, in a book kept" lor that purpose,
and to return the sama. duly signed bv him,
in the form of a certificate, lo the Register of
the County in which such birth shall have
taken place, setting forth the full name of
such child, if it has one, its sex. color, names
and occupations of parents, full names of any
child nr children living, &0.
Section fourth require every physician or
surgeon who shall be in attendance!, at the
death of any individual within this Slate, lo
make a record, and return it as above, with
name, occupation, color, sex, tho period,
place, cause of death, &c. And no sexton is
permitted lo inter a body nntil he first pro
onres a copy of this record or certificate, duly
certified by the person who madn It. Any
physician, &o . neclectiiig or refusing to fur
nish the certificate to the exton, and the
sexton neglecting to procure it, shall each
forfeit and pay the snm of five dollari", re
coverable as sums of like amount are rerov
erable. Thn law, therefore, j impeiative in
regard lo registering deaths.
D Mr. Heim, one of the commissioners
of Union county, in a card to the ptiMic,
fully justifies their subscription of $200,-
000 to the Susquehanna Rail Road, and
state that tome of those most clamorous
against the subscription now, had been
the most pressing for them to subscribe.
This he says was particularly the case with
John M. Baum of the Union Times. An
indignation meeting is advertised to come
oft at New Berlin on the 31st. Union
county it certainly blessed with a number
of ardent and vociferous politician?. It is
a pity that Gov. Bigler could not appoint
about a dozen assistant whiskey Inspectors
to aid Mr. Shriner the Inspector of whis
key in general and of democracy in partic
ular, in Union county. They might soon
be able to build up a regular "Whiskey In
tutrection." fO Mr. Webster and the Presidency.
It it still a matter of uncertainty whe
ther Mr. Webster will be a candidate or
not. In his late speech at Marshfield, he
thus alludes to the subject :
Gentlemen Mr. Sprauue has been pleas
ed to refer to recent occurrence. As to some
of them, or at least one, it may be filling in
me lo sav one word now. The time has not
come. But 1 would say, I may venture to
hope, without presumption, that lam not en
tirely unknown at home or abioad, (cries of
Io ! iso ! ) and I say furttier, it I havs any
thing uood or valuable, I hi.ld it in my nvvu
keeping, and will not trust il to the way
wardness of others.
fCT Drowned. An interesting little
boy, ton of Mr. John D. Booar, aged about
3 years, was drowned in the pool of dam
across Penns Creek at New Berlin on Mon
day afternoon last.
The Cholera. The presence of the chol
era in New York, in a mild type, the Trir
bune of yesterday says, cannot be denied.
There have been several deaths from it in
that city within the past few days. The
Tribune does nut imagine that the present
disease is the real Asiatic cholera ; it is only
an aggravated sort of cholera morbus, and
there seems no probability that it will be
come violently epidemic. There is a ten
dency to cholera morbus and diseases of a
virulent character about in various pans of
the country, and persons cannot be too care.

meet this tendency.
