A PRIViTY INCILISIVIF—The Jalapa Star
e 9th inst., contains the following :
"As the column of
,Itleximin prisoners were
marching by us on the allernoo of the 18th,
irtiiihierved moving on With the rest a lit
tkkbay and a lamb. Amidst the fire and
smoke Rod the roar of musketry and artil
lery, which hadso lately enveloped the hill,
these weak and defenceless creatures had
stood unharmed. As they passed along
our lines, they were levet, where greeted
with kind looks and words. Countenances
dark with the Ilene passion! of the recent
conflict, clouded with the remembrance of
fallen friends, and of revenge but half sa
ted, relaxed into et smile of minfled pleas
ure and pity—pity, that they should have
been thus exposed„and pleasure, that He
who guards the sparrow, had sheltered
them from the ranges of the iron storm."
A Soumtit's PRICE.—This average
price of a aoldier, according to the standard
fixed by Gen. Scott, is $3OO. A letter
from Mexico, in the Journal of Commerce,
says that Gen. Scott has taken the guerilla
business in hand, and by his order, every
murder that the Mexicans may commit,
takes $3OO out of the nearest alcalde's
pocket.
. The Pennsylvanian says that the Admin
istrative, having carried all its measures,
"can henceforth repose upon a bed, of ro-
ses." We have seen many a pig, that had
broken into a flower garden, doing the
same thing.—Lotrisr We Journal.

,Buctivo A IV IFE.—The Sag Harbor
Corrector tells a story about a runaway
wife, much as follows:—The good woman,
it appears, went to Sag llarbor with a man,
and passed for his wife, and the mistake
was only discovered when the real husband
came for his runaway. He at once had
the wan arrested for running away with
his wife, but she got over this by stating
that she ran off with the man. A second
ineffectual attempt was made to put the
man in prison for stealing the clothes the
woman had upon her, but the matter was
finally settled by the man, who paid ten
dollars in cash and gave a double barrelled
gun besidee. She was rather a cheep wife,
but the seller had, no doubt, the best of the
bargain.

advantage to the farmer, and an abundant

one of the warmest hearted and most thor

Melaka gradaste of West Point, written to a rela

the Weiler of this Idler who set the world agog at
fighting:
"I proceed to tell you of the peril play
ed In the battle of Cerro Gordo. God de

. 1 tillery, and one company of
fantry. Many ci our men,
by natural impehosity, and many others
misunderstandingorders, after having driv
en the enemy iron the first hill, advanced
even to the basso( Cerro Gordo. That
night, when wo , ested upon the first hill,
under comparatie cover of its crest, sur
rounded by deadand wounded Mexicans,
many a brave omrade was missed who
was expiating the sidof having been brave
even to rashness.
..I was too tau to join my regiment on
the first day, bit attached myself to a
company of the, 'th infantry, which held
an exposed situaion, and had the extreme
felicity of being fired at all day ,without
0 the pleasure of teturning it. Thalmight
I rejoined my company, under Capt. Ma
son, and next truing the ball re-opened
with great eclat,tho enemy having waken
ed us during tht night only twice by plea
sant messengen in the shape of cannon
balls. In the reciting we (the. rifles) were
obliged for two nortal hours to stand an
artillery fire of tall, grape, and canister,

icommand forwa l to storm the height was
given. lt was re that poor Mason, as
fine a fellow as pver lived, (aud who, by

Davis was ki iu the very spot where I
had been lying ew minutes before ; and
after Wards, whedl arose to obey the order
forward, a sohliir was discovered about
' six feet above mt, op the side of the hill,
who had been Miens° dead by a grape

suddenly that those round were ignor

The rifles were ordeto take l up a posi

body of Mexicans advincing,to reinforce
Cerro Gordo, and the otier three regiments
of the brigade to stort 'he height. I my
self heard only the o r forward, conse
quently went ahead wi • the main column,
and was fortunate enou 1 to be among the

whom I revenged myse upon by turning
upon him a six-pounde one of his own
guns, and paying, him ack with interest

THE LATE VICTORY.—Gen. Score has
certainly exhibited in the present campaign, (says
the Raleigh Register,) all that his numerous and
iulmiring !Heath' have claimed for him. His mili

gallantry is only equalled by his generosity, hti•

Mr. JAL F. ,ROSI.I
Dear Sir—About three weeks ago my wife
caught a severe cold, which troubled her a good
deal and gave her great uneasiness • she prepared
a great many. articles which were recommended
to her by her friends, but without receiving the
benefit from any of them ; her Rough was getting
worse every day ; her appetite was last tailing.
and to sleep was impossibte: the pains in her
breast and side became so severe that that she
hail to go to bed, and my friends advised me to
call in a Physician. I thought I would call in
the store where you were engaged and see. if I
could not get something that would relieve her.
when you gave me a bottle of your Expectorant,
assuring me tLat it would core her, she commen
ced taking it that night, not, however, without
great opposition on the part of some of her
friends, who said it was only some "Quark
Medicine," and would do her more barn'
than good, lint I determined to take your fishier.
and now Sc? all knave the Rash ! From taking the
first dose she telt easier. though linable to sleep
on account of the quantity of phli•gm that loosen.
el and would almost choke her, but which ir'he
could spit up with but little difficulty, the follow
ing day she continued it according to the three.
tions. and that time, for the first time for nearly
two weeks, she enjoyed a good night's rest and by
the time she had finished the first bottle, she was
entirely cured. Make what use of this you think
proper, (or such an invaluable medicine should be
'made known to the afflicted every where. With
best wishes for your success,
I remain yours kr..

rirThe Admitiiidnition Is evidently sick of
the IV•r with Mexico, already protracted fhr be.
vend their anticipations, when eiMintencing it, and
the vial of which seems to be as remote as ever,
only "a little more so." But a few months 'liner
the moult-piece of the president at Washington
was daily indulging itm readers with glowing eulo
gies upon the irresietable prowess of our arms
which were ere !mg to find their way to the city
of Mexico and force the enemy to sue for terms of
peace from melee the walls of their own renowned
capital, and scarcely a number of the Union was
permined to leave the press without being burden
ed with the most comfortable assurances of an
"early and honorable pracd,onqwered by our arms."
The Administration, howevet has at last found
it necessary to "go a begging," and ie now suing
with all dilligence for that peace Which, thecountry
was. no often assunxl, was to be so abjectly sought
after by the Mexican people. Well, it is gratify
ing re he assured that our Government is at la 4
waking up to a wine of the telly of • further pros
veiniest of the wir, and the propriety of bringing
about an early peace. Had it discovered as much
winless twelve months ago, the heavy load of to
orpoeuftality now meting upon its shoulders ly rea
son of the thousand' of brave men sacrificed on the
enemy's soil, and the countless widows and or
phans made destilitute and miserable by their loss
—might, have been obviated. _
The Washington eorreapontlent of the Baltimore
'Sun writing on the 31st ult., speaks of the arrival
of Mr. Trial, the Government agent at Jalapa, and
tic proclemation subsequently issued by Gen.
Won, and remarks :—“Gen. Scott and Mr. Trial,
I have reason to believe, have full power to treat
with the Alesiesna, though they are not the bear_
era of a distinct propositionJkom our government.
Tisis is as it should he, and commended by Giro
cies, and prudence. It is not offering to treat
when you merely invite the other party•to put its
name to the'cortditions imposed by you, leaving no
enargin on either side. Gen. Hcott is entrusted
with a much more important mission than merely
to obtain the voluntary or corudtained assent of
the Mexicans to a proposition, however wise and
good, elaborated in the State Department; he is.
you may depend upon it, vested with very large
discretionary powers, and will, as is apparent from
his proclamation, use them with discretion. Gen.
Scott has already given great proofs of his skill and
moderation, and if his diplomatic talents, as is
generally supposed, be commensurate with his
Vest military capacity, peace and good will be
tween the two great Republica of the New World
must inevitably crown his ends."

Scott and the Administration.,
. We are rejoiced at the prairies recently bestowed
lit, the administration presses pion Gen- Scott, for
his achievements in Mexico. It might be thought
that those praises were shreent, for • such deeds
challenge the gratibudngf entry patriot, were they
not ginierally expressed in terms of studied con
trast with the exploit! of General Taylor. The
of itself, even in the shrew* of an obvious men
dicancy for a candidate willing to encounter de
feat in the name of Locofocoism, week! explain
the desire to array Whig against Whig, Scott a
gainst Taylor. The effort Is absurd as it is Meech
crews. Have they seen any characteristic of Scott
that will justify this rah - rilkinpf to excite an in
vidious jealousy I
TheMAig party of -Pennehrania has no cot-
rupted part in which such worm' can breed.
There is not • bolder, manlier, nor more high mind
ed Whig living than Winfield Scotto The heart
of the Whig party is greet enough to bold both
Scott and Taylor; and from the relations7intimate
and friendly, between them, it is probable tlikt
each is more earnest fin the other than for himself.
The Whig National Convention will 'elect the
candidate of the party ; ■nd whosoever he may be,
whether it be either, or another, neither Scott nor
Taylor can loss a ray of the lustre that surrounds
them.
It is, however, pleasant ti awe the Loco Focus
come to their senses in relation to Gen. Scott--
An a short while since, the Whig Gen.-Scott was
made the subject of universal ridicule by the Ad
ministration prem. , We heard of nothing but his
plate of soup, a joke as witless as it was unworthy
and our corneal rebuke of which found no one
willing or prepared to answer it. We rejoice that
then, in his darkest hour, when he encountered.*
storm of that which no worth, no wisdom can
breast, ridicule--we were among the most ardent
of his. champions. We kne? the man, and knew
that mope, opportunity and a Stir field were an

dy's Lane would again ahine forth ■ hero, and that
■II which calm science-, ardent - energy and theps•
culler power of a truly great general mold effect,
would—whatever the odds or the difficulties—be
effected.
He hos won laurels, which even the poisonous
distillment of Administration praise cannot wither.
There is not a fault in his curer. It is all bright,
all worthy the admiration of his country. We
cannot forget the maledictions of the Administra
tion, and its press against him ; but we are grateful
for their present praise. The Pennsylvanian pub
lished the proceeding* of a recent Loco Foco meet
ing in Centre county, in which every general offi
cer at Cerro Gordo was thanked, and ticott's name
wholly omitted. But what's that, after the course
of the Administration and the party- 7 -alle;llie de-
nuiteiation and ridicule with which, for months,
Soatt was unsparingly covered!
Tim war of the Administration against Hcott
has no parallel in bitterness and injustice in the
history of the age. It was monstrous in its injus
tice and cruelty. Ile has surmounted it; 010,
now, we rejoice to find the Loettfoco prints con
'omitted to do justice to one of the moat ardent,
thoroughgoing and determined Whigs in the coun
try. Es cry word of extorted praise dropped from
the Isteolocy pn•as, in nisei' of the gallant Scott,
must tend to cons ince the A.dolinistrution party of
this .Salta that they have been deceived and wrong
ed. cannot he that Pennsylvanians will vote
against, and in censure of Taylor and Scott ; that
they will endorse...the censures and persecutions of
the Administrations of the General and State gov-
ernment ; and leave those heroes, by, their votes,
to the tender mercies of a party which has sought
et nll times, and by all efforts of official power, to
degrade, displace and ruin them.
Gen. Scott is a patriot worthy the confidence
with which he has inspired the Whig party, wor
thy to share the glories won by his comrade in
amp) and friend, Gen. Taylor, worthy to he worn
as a grin of the first water, on the brow of the
Whig party. That party is proud of all its sons,
who have, by their services to their country, ap
proved their claims to its confidence and respect.
From its Clays and Webstenc its Taylors and
Scotts, its Claytona and Crittendens, its vast and
varied wealth of genius and patriotism, it may
pause to choose, but cannot be emberrussed and
whomsoever may be selected—the Whig party
will he found to have but one heart and, ono voice
in his favar.—North .dmernuar.
IE? Gen. Score ham issued a long Pmelama
lion, dated Jalapa, May 11, 1847, addressed to the
Mexican people, on the recent events of the war,
and the measures adopted by thr Mexican Govern
ment. Hllares the war that is being waged
by his counny, is not directed against the property,
the religion, and the happiness of the Mexican
people, and gives the assurance that the U. States
is desirous of peace. The Proclamation concludes
with the following paragraphs :
"The order to form guerrilla parties to
att.ao us, I assure you. can produce noth
ing but evil to your country, and no evil to
our army. which will know how to protect
itself and how to proceed , against them ;
and if, so far from conciliating, you suc
ceed iu irritating, you will impose upon us
the hard necessity of retaliation, and then
you cannot blame us for the consequences
which will fall upon yourselves.
"I am marching with my army upon
Puebla and Mexico—l do not conceal it;
from those capitals I shall again address
you. I desire peace, friendship and union ;
it is for you to select whether you prefer
war; under any circumstances, be assured
I shad I not fail my word."

of the other half enrich the soil of Mexico, and
their memory the military character of their coun
try. The Colonel also states that but a single sol
dier of his regiment has been nifty of an act re
spiring punishment, and
.his offence wasamply
atoned for by a line of seven dollars and a few
tours of double duty. This fact speaks well for
the character of Col. Datrina's
,reginsent.

Gen. Taylor and the Presidency.
The New Orleans Bulletin publishes the follow
ing extract from a letter written by Gel/. TAMAN,
under date of Kay 15, bearing upon the move
ments, in his bear so a outdid' Mr for the Presiden
cy. It will be wen that the Old Hero expresso% Ili
wining:sew to accept a worairation if tendered
him:
"In re g ard to the Presidency, I will not
say that k will not serve, if the good people
of the country were require me to do so,
however much it is opposed to my wishes
—fin I am free to say %hat I have no aspi
rations for the situatien. My greatest,
perhaps only, wish has been to bring, or
aid in bringing, this war to tt speedy and
honorable close. It has ever been, and
still is, my anxious wish that idiot one of
the mostexperienced, talented and virtuous
statesmen of the country should be chosen
to that high place at the next election. I
I am satisfied that, 'if our friends will do
their duty, such a citizen may be elected.
"I must, however, be allowed to say,
that I have not the vanity to consider mx
self qualified for so high and responsible a
a station ; and, whilst we have far more
eminent and deserving names before the
country, I should prefer to stand aside if
one of them could be raised to the first of
fice in the gift of a free people.
"I go for the country, the whole country ;
and it is my ardent and sincere wishio see
the individual placed at the head of the na
tion, who, by a strict observance of the
Constitution, (be he who he may,) can
make us prosperous at home, as ,well as re
spected abroad."
Gen. Taylor's Polities.
The connoection of Gen. Toytor's name with
the Presidency by • Dumber of Whig presses, is
little relished by the Locofoco leaders, some of
whom affect to deprecate, oat of "pure Icrre"
the old Hem, such an "unauthorized" we of hie
name, as necessarily repugnant to his wishea and
mollifying to bis kelinge: while others go the
whole figure and claim him as a Democrat of the
true blue Locokico Gith. Whatever may he the
sumps; of the movement made with a view to the
nomination of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency,
there can be but little doublithat he is a Whig,
and a Whig of the right school. The following
paragraph from the "Democratic Advocate," •
Lcreoftwo paper printed at Baton Rouge, the place
of Gen. Ta)lor's residence, should settle the ques
tion:
'4)nr contemporaries IF disputing about Gen.
Taylor's polities. There need be no ditlieulty on
this 10ne,.: Gen. Taylor gave his last villa for Gen.
Jacksim—he would have voted for Henry Clay, at
the late election, because he personally esteemed
and admired him as a statesman, and because he
was oppoited to the annexation of Texas, on con
stitutional grounds. Gen. Taylor says he belongs
to no party, but is called a Whig. Gen. Taylor
thought the,war with Mexico could and oetht to
base been *voided. We am satisfied that it is an
noying to the old General to hear of his nomina
tion for the Prenidenry. But, of one thing we
can assure our democratic friend*, (bm. T. is no
democrat ; and we will my further—we believe be
mould never ask a question in appointing men'to
office, as to their politics, but his Men%Ureg would
not harmonize well with the late +mil present tie
moirratir ad harations—anye on the tariff."
Later from Europe.
117 The packet ship Rainbow arrived at New
York on Tuesday with a few days later whims
from Europe. Rut little news of interest. The high
famine fever seas raging and greatly on the in
crease. No has than 256 funerals had entered
Father Mathewr's Cemetery in one week. In the
last four weeks 754 !imams have died in the Kil
kenny Poor-house. The commercial news by the
Rainbow has again unsettled the markets, and
canoed an advance in dour to $9. It had fallen
to $A 75.
From the Army..
trr.tott night's southern mail brought but little
additional intelligence from the Army. Active
preparations were being made in Mexico to defend
the Capital from invasion. The immense train of
wagons which left Vera Cruz with heavy supplies
and a large amount of specie., had arrived at Jalapa.
ccy The influence of the Press over the unholy
designs of ambitious rulers (says the Philadelphia
tun) has been moat signally manifested by the
recent recantations of the Government of its in
tention to conquer, dismember, and partition the
Republic of Mexico. History presents few exam
ples of the power exercised over Govemmeits by
the liberty of the pea, equal to this revocation of
its long cherished scheme of the national subjuga
tion of the domain of our sister Republic. „,
