Our special pony elpress has again
.11 11 ,14111ns New Orleans - pners in six days
Linn that city. with sonic interesting and
rather important news front Tampico.—
. The Near Orleans Picayune of the, 7th in-
WWII, announces the arrival of the Schoon
ers Sarah and Major 11. Bache, from Tam
'pito, both haring sailed on the 27th alt.
Hy these arrivals the most interesting
news relates to the American prisoners in
Mezire. All the accounts verbal and writ
tea. agree that intelligence had been receiv
ed in Tampico that Majors Gaines and
Stabled. Capt. Clay and the other Ameri
can-prisoners in Mexico, had been released,
and ordered to Tampico under a large es
eon. This escort was said to consist of
900 men.
The verbal reports which have reached
ris; are to the effect that when the prison.
era had reached within 160 miles of Tam.
piett, they were met by Urrea who detain
ed diem as prisoners. The story is fur
ther, that Urrea had nnh•red out all the men
of the country that could he raised, for the.
purpose of making an attack upon Tampi
co. It appears to he certain thatsuch was
deemed the imminency of an attack that
three companies of the 11th infantry,
which were waiting at Tampico for trans
portation to Vera Cruz, were ordered up
into the city. Every man there was under
arms expecting the town to be anveked.
We have heard Po frequently or the ap
prehensions of an immediate attack upon
Tampico that very little atttntion is paid
to 'briar. The present alarm appears to
bc better founded titan usual. We see no
reason to doubt the report of their release
of our prisoners, of their encountering Ur
ges. and his treatment of them.

how or other, our feelings have always
yearned to Me Major. There is such a
transparent honesty in all his thoughts, and
such a kindness of heart perceptible in all

Major Downing. who has not suffered his

been on his. high heel'd boots all the way.
Instead of growin more atoopin by bowing
so much, it seems as if he stood straighter
than ever. 'He told the• Governor, in his

Says the President tome; Now, Major, ;

he will be candid and speak the truth.—

ANOTHER 'LEVI' E R
speed' there at Baltimore 'touter day. I
see it now, and I don't know exactly how
toget over it.
=OEM
Why, says he, I ought not to have said,
right up and down, pint blank, that I should
retire when this term is up. I should only
talked about my desire to retire to private
life. I was too hasty. and committed my
self too soon: There never was a better
chance for any body than there is for me
now, if I hadn't made that unfortunate re
marke Jackson stood twice, and Jefferson
stood twice, and Lsuppese it is really my
duty, to serve_my country as long as they
did. But it! should undertake to-run agin,
I epos° they would be throwing that Balti

Nell now, says ],Colonel, can't you see
Attut way out of thatr You wasn't born

thing of a job to get oter that trouble.
At that the President brightened
_u _y a

tell you what 'tis, if you'll get me over that
difficulty, hainkiiiinely, when we come to
hate another souffle for' the offices, you' ,
may choose any card in the pack,snd you
shall have it.
Well, say. I, Colonel, about that remark
at Baltimore, that you should give up
when this term is out, all you've got to do
is to get Mr. Richie to take it bark in the
Union; let hinz.declare that it was only a
sort of speridation, hastily thrown out,
w ithoutpuelt poosidera tion, a nd,that, so far
as lid understatids, neither the President
nor any of his Cabinet entertains any such
dews. Then !yeit can go along jest as
smooth and safe as if nothing had hap
pened.
Fart, that's it, says the Colonel, snap.'
ping his fingers ; strange I didn't think of
that before. Major, you do beat all foil
working out of difficulties ! I believe I'll
make up my mind to go ahead another'
term; I Jon taco any thing in the way.—
I'D tell ye how I think of working it. I've!
been reading over this letter of Taylor's to
the Cincinnati Signal. He's an okl head,
but he ain't aping to come another Bona
Vista blunder over me. If I don't take the
wind out of his sails before long, I'll en
gage to make him King
,of Mexico. And
!I'll I'll, him on his own tack too. I'll come
out and declare that I won't he the condi
' date of no•party neither; and throw my
self upon the people. I'm convinced, from
what I've..seen on thiX journey, that the
'Whigs will go For me almost to a man.—
Van Buren and Wright, who say I'm not
the man for the Northern Democrats,may
go to grass. Igo for the peeple,the whole
people and nothing but the people.'
Well. says I, Colonel, that's the road ;
and I wish you a pleasant and prosperous
journey.
Wo had some more talk about the war
before we!reached" Augusta. but I haven't
!got time to explain to you the President's
views about it in this letter. He says he
!means to keep a tight rein over Taylor,
and not let him do much. and when he
does do any thing, make him repOrtit to
!the Government- Scott. I asked I
him if he wasn't 'afraid of making too tall a
man out of Scott by placing him on Tay
lor's shoulders, and he said no, he should
! look out for that, and if he see any danger
of it he should make Scott report to the
' Goiernment through Mr. Trish.
After we visited Augusta, and Ilallowell,
and Gardiner. I tried to get the Mresident
Ito go out to Downingville, but he said he
didn't think it would do for him to stop
any longer this time, though there was no
place in the country he was more 322 ions
to see, and he promised the first leisure
'time he could
-n get, to make a (lying v isit
askeahrm if lie didn't think ' it
would do for me to go out and stop a day
or two, as I hadn't seen uncle Joshua or
Aunt Keziah or any of 'em there for a long I
i time . He said, certainly, by all means, I
and he would hurry back to Washington
and look round two or three days and see
what was best to be done about this Mexi
can war business, which according to the
letter I brought on from Gineral Scott,
seemed to be getting into something of a
snarl. He said that• lie would have
things all cut and dried by the time I got
back along to Washington, soitiat we could
make up our minds at once what is best to
be done. Your old friend.

PLUNDERING CHURCHES
Curnosi To Ica-Cuzalizas.—The Nan
tucket Inquirer of the 6th instant says: 7 —
"A quantity of lemon ice cream had been
put into a tin freezer on Tuesday morning.
and allowed to remain there, in liquid state,
until Wednesday noon, when it was frozen,
i and about thirty gentlemen and ladies ate
pretty freely of the cream. The cone
' quence was, that they were all made sick,
a few of them so severely, that for an hour
or two during the night, it was feared they
would not recover. All, however, are now
convalescent. The action of the acid in
the mixture on the tin lining of the freezer,
for more than twenty-four hours, produced
an active poison, and the 'sufferers may
congratulate theinselve that they escaped
' with only being made sick. A tin vessel
of vanilla cream stood unfrozen in thesame
way, from Tuesday till Wednesday, but
those who ate of that were not all injured
; by it."

BAPTISM 01' MR. ChM!
We copied a few days ago a paragraph
stating that Mr. Clay had been baptised
"by immersion," as a preparatory step to
uniting himself to the Episcopal Church.
We have since seen, in the Epieecipal Re
oerder.of the 10th instant, a letterfrom Lex
ingtoni (Ky.)
. giving an interesting des
eriptiolt.erthe eeremitny; 'Vona: which we
copy a few paragraphs. The writer says:
"He [Mr. Clay] was baptised in the lit
tle parlor at Ashland, on Thursday after.
noun the 2rl instant, Chine ' ) together with
one of his daughters-in law, (the•other be
ing already a member ofille Church,) and
herfour children, by the Rev. Edmund F.
Beekeley, Rector of Christ Church, Leg
itigton. The baptism was administered
privately, far the reason' that the emigre
gatiOn of Christ Church are replacing their
old church with a now edifice, now in rap
id progress of erection, and are not suita
bly eLnottml for the solemp and decent ad
minietration of the rite in public.
When, the Minister entered the room on
this .doeply interesting and solemn occa
sion, the smalliiesembly, consisting of the
immediate tainily, a few family coimec
none, and minister's wife, rose up. In the
middle of the room stood a lake centre ta
ble, on which was placed. filled with wa
ter, the magnificent vase presented to Mr.
Clay by some gentlemen of Pittsburg. O n I
one side of the room hung the large picture
of the family of Washington, himself an
Episcopalianby birth, by etlicatien, and a
devoiit continual:ant of the'Church ; and
immediately opposite, on a side table, stood
the bust of the lamented Harrison, with a!
chaplet of flowers hung upon his toad,;l
who was to have been confirmed in the ,
church the Sabbath after ho died. Around
the room were susilentled a number of falat.,,
ily pictures, and among diem the portrait;
of a beloved daughter, who died some]
years ago in the triumphs of that faith
which her noble father was about to um- ;
brace, and a picture of the lately lost son
who fell at Buena Vista. Could these si
lent lookers on at the scene about transpi
ring have spoken front the marble and the
canvass, they would heartily have approv . -
ed the net which dedicated the great matt
to God. There was a deep emotion per
vading that small assembly at the recital,
under such circumstances, of the sublime
ordinal et the Church ; and every heart !
thrilled with a solemn joy when the mer
ciful covenant was sealed, 'in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Ho
ly
Ghost.'
This net will he publicly ratified at the
visitation of the Bishop on the third Sun
day in July, in the Apostolic rite of confir
mation."
LIBERAL POLICY Or THE POPE. -A let
ter from Rome to the New York Herald,
dated June 3d, 1847, says :
“The popularity of the sovereign pontiff
is augmented from day to day ; and it is
now not transcending the truth to declare
that there.is. no sovereign in Europe so
beloved by his people: Rome, which for
nerly did not allow a newspaper, except
the official gazette of the government, to be
published within her walls, now sees some
half dozen well-conducted and well-written
journals issued weekly, one of which is in
the English language. Measures are in
progress for calling into gradual operation
the principles of constitutional government.
A council of distinguished individuals is al
ready employed in revising the municipal
regulations of the towns and cities of the'
flutes of the church. A national guard is
zipolteiref,-andwill probsbly soon be-organ
ised. With the best intentions, however,
the good Pope Pius has to struggle against !
the secret opposition of Austria, and even
of France, which, notwithstanding the rev
olutionary origin of its government, leans.:
in all its foreign policy, to the absolute
governments.”
FATAL AND DISTRESSINO ACCIDENTS.-
On Thursday last, Mr. William Wilson,
brother of Judge Wilson, of Lewistown,
was killed by fulling from a barn which he
was assisting to raise, near Potter's Mills,
Mitilin county. He lived but a few hours
after the fall.
On the same evening as Col. Wm. But
ler, Gen. John Potter, lawyer John Potter,
James Potter, Wm. Betonis and Lex
Potter, were coming down the hill near
Dr. Wilson's, of Centre lounty, on their
return from a fishing excursion, the horses
became frightened, and in endeavoring to
stop them, the wagon was upset ; when it
was righted it was found that Col. Butler
had his leg badly fractured in twe 'places
below the knee, the bone protruding from
the flesh—several atnall pieces were splint
ered from the bone, which he himself pick
ed out of the wound. He suffered exces
sively during the night, and some danger
of lock-jaw is apprehended. Gen. Sohn
Potter had his collar bone broken, l and
was otherwise injured. Young Joint Pot
ter had his collar bone broken and the bone
protruted near two inches out of the flesh.
Gen. James Potter and Mr. Betonis had
no bones broken, but were severely bruised.
STRANOt EVICNT.-At &recent sacrament
at the Seceder Church, at Cadiz, Ohio,
while the - members were at the table, if ome
six or eight persona were attdcked with a
violent fever so suddenly that they were
compelled to leave the church for-home and
a sick bed. The disease spread .rapidly
through the congregation, and upwards of
one hundred members have since been ta
ken dangerously ill—whole families have
been prostrated, and a cotwidarable n(htf.
ber have since.died.
ANTI-CaLniacy.—Dr. Baird, in his lec
ture on Thurseay evening, mentioned a sin
gular fact concerning the Greek Church,
viz that the priests are required to be
married' men, and whenever a wife dies
the priestly office cease* until he is married
again. They claim authority for this in
the Scriptures, which reads, "A bishop
must bo - blameleis, the bueband of one
wife." In the Armenian Church this rule
is extended, sous to require that a priest
shall be the father of one child.—Spring

AUGUST INTEREST—We have the plea
sure of announcing that Adams County has again
promptly responded to the call of the State Trea
surer, and paid into the State Treasury her rut&
wtrwea of the State Tax. The efforts of the Board
of Commissioners were handsomely seconded by
the tax-payers of the county, and on Wednesday
last Mr. MT , the County Treasurer, left
for Harrisburg, prepared to "square off."
THE LETHEON.—The use of "Litheon," or
the vapor of Sulphuric Ether, to produce insensi
bility to pain during surgicli,oplitions, bids fair
to prove one of th• most important discoveries of
the day. Its use is becoming quite common in the
Cities, and we observe frequent notices deans in
which the moat serious operations have been per
krmed upon patients subject to its influence, with
out the least pain being experienced. The vapor
of the ether is inhaled until tila individual, sinking
into • kind of swoon or trance, becomes uncon
scious of every thing transpiring around him, and
entirely insensible to pain. During this state of
etherization the surgeons of this country and Eu
rope have succendially performed all kinds of ope
rations, the most painful and the most horrid—
amputations and extractions, the excision of eyes
and mullion of nails—every operation most bar-,
rowing to the feeling* and dreadful to the imagi
nation; and the patient has suffered no horror of
mind pain of body.

THE PEACE PROSPECTS—We have no
intelligence of particular interest from Gen. Scott's
Army during the past week. The last accounts
left him still at Puebla awaiting the arrival of re
enforcements, with which to march upon the City
of Mexico, where another desperate conflict was
anticipated. Scott would probably match with
from six to nine thousand men, while the Maxi
' cans, it is said, have 36,000 men in the Capital
under Santa Anna. The Guerillas Ste increasing
daily in number and activity, and every thing giros
indication of a determined resistance to the progress
of our arms, and an unwillingness to listen to any
imopositions for peace negotiations. In the mean
time General Taylor remains et Monterey, unable
to move. being almost entirely destitute of troops.
What the Admiattnition means by this sinro
ler policy of cramping the operations of our Gen
erals on the very'occialons when they Amid be
best supported by liberal supplies and sufficient
forces, it were hard to tell. It is the same game
that was played immediately before the battles of
Palo Alto, Monterey, and Buena Vista, when our
armies were compelled to hazard engagements with
forced - infinitely their superiors in numbers. In
the meantime the country is becoming heartily
disguised with the miserable, iascilating policy ce
the Government in the conduct of this war . ._ Even
the Washington Locofoco conespondent of the
Baltimore Sun is boonnin& impaties6.44ll4
out as follows -
"While we are amusing ourselves with the cry
of peace, peace, our army of invasion is not only
suffering intolerable 'hardships and privations, but a
at this moment, probably, in a very critical eon-
dition. While we are daily assured, by the high.
eat authorities, that all Mexico was for peace, that
we have none but friends to meet there, that Scott
and Trist are daily begged to come into the Cap•
dual and AMMO the Government, our army is un
doubtedly acting on the defensive, against a nu
mentos; wily, treacherous, and resourceful foe.
"We am, k•renoth,-sendinS instructions to Soon
and Taylor how to make peace, when we have not
given them the means to carry on the war. It
would be better ten thousand times over, to resort
at once to the disgraceful alternative of a withdraw
al of our troops and the abandonment of the war,
than to suffer it to languish in the manner that it
has 4one and is likely to do. If Gen. Scott had
merely a smart skirmish with the enemy in his ad.
ranee to the Capital, his loss of horses and melee,
and the care of his wounded, altogether, would de
lay his march thirty days. Any practical military
man will tell you this.
"The enemy, in the meantime, are scanning
in hi* rear,.and. gathering in his front.
"All this talk of sending instructions to our
Generals begins to be considered as mere non
nonce. Send them trooper."
, NEW. HAMPSHIRE.—FoIk's Slavery• War
'and British' TOOTH' hare - roused the -
The Special Election, held last week, for members
of Congress in the two vacant districts, has result
ed i n a signal defrat of both the Locefoco candi
dates. In the one district, which last year gave
a Locofoco majority of more than 2,000, Gen.
WILSON, a sterling Whig, succeeds by from 300
to 600 majority ; and in the other, Mr. Zeck, sup
ported by Whigs and independent Democrats, is
elected by a majority of about 2,000! This lathe
find time for eighteen years that New liampshire
sends a Whig representative to .Congress. An
nexation, War, Slavery, and Freetrade, have cured
her of Lorefecoism.
rrThe papers conic from ali parts filled with
the usual quantum of Toasts, &c., in honor of the
late National Anniversary. It is a somewhat sig
nificant fact, as indicative of the current in which
Popular feeling is setting, that the Heroes of Cerro
Gordo and Buena Vista invariitbly come in for the
lion's share of the glory. At Lebanon, we notice
that out of forty-nine toasts offered, thirty-three are
given in honor of Generals SCOTT and Tar Loa.
We give a sample:
• Scott—His-skill as a warrior,
and his ability as a pacificator, have been often
tried and as often approved. The people confide
in his discretion and judgment, and are willing to
invest him with the duties of the Chief Magistracy
of this republic.
The Soup Boys—As Rough as they areßeady,
and as Ready as they are Rough in a contest with
the ruffled shirt gentry, who can't endure a "hasty
plate of Soup."
Gen..WirefrertScott—Like the tall and stately
oak, he has withstood the fierce storm of detraction
and calumny that was howling around him, and
still stands forth the moat distinguished and hon
ored American Hero and Pacificator.
The "Hasty Plate of Soup"—Pretty well Rea
soned with popularity by this time. It will be the
favorite emblem at Whig proceasiona in 1848.
Gen.. Zachary Taylor—We apperiate hie mer
its, and will be ready, when the proper time cornea,
to reward his services. He need hut emulate the
magnanimity exhibited by Scott towards Clay, and
that will secure his election in 1852.
At Reading, the Toasts are about iniCe wme
proportion. We eitniet the following :
"Gen. Winfield Eleott—The hero of Chippewa,
Lundy's Lane. Fort George, Vera Cm:, and Cerro
Gordo. We hail him as out neat President.
Rough and Ready—The greatest Taylor of the
age: he has rW up several Mexican armies; has
Mated Santa Anna ; has hat•premed Atinpudia has
mewl up Polk ; has saki.* In pieces the Locolbco
party ; has turned the roots of many Democrats ;
and has cubbeged the hearts of the American peo-
Pie.
Hon. James Cooper, of Adams—His eloquent
and able defence of Whig principles in the Na
tional and State Legislatures, and his labors in be
half of the dune of the people, have given him a
strong hold on the affection. of the Whigs of the
Keystone State. Higher honors await him.
The Mexican War—Brought on by Locofoco .
management: fought out by Whig valor. SUMO/
to Scott, Taylor & Co.
A Pass to the enemy's' General—A masterstroke
in the wet of War: first &officered by Col. Polk.
American blood on Mexican soil—The fruit of
Polk'. "pass" to Sant/ Anna.
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE:--Actording to the
provisions of the Eclection law of Pennaylvada;
the volunteers from this State, now. in Mexico, •
will have the privilege of voting for State alone
at whatever place they may he stationed on the
ad Tuesday of October next. The Captain and
Lieutenant of each company act as Judges and
Inspectors. In the late war with Great Britain,
Pennsylvania volunteers held elections in camp,
at Baltimore, and camps Shellpot and Dupont. .

FROM THE ARM Y.—Last night's mail brings
us intelligence from Vera Cruz to the let inst,—
The latest dates from the city of Mexico are to the
19th ult. Manta Anna had demanded a forced
loan of one million of dollars, and was raising
the money at the point of the bayonet. The
work of fortifying the approaches to the cap
ital was programing with great energy. It is said
that Gen. Scott, becoining impatient at the non
arrival of the promised reinforcements, had deter
mined to break up his line of oontmunicatioru with
Vera caw, by ordering the troops in charge of
the different points skits the line to jointihnowith

a force of 70 men, was attached by some 400 Mex

last spring for Mexico. Two of them returned home
last week, with mined constitutions, and two oth

turned home, a young man of about 20 years of
age, died on Monday night. This Mexican war
makes heavy draughts upon our men ; what the
enemy's guns fail to accomplish is completed by the
climate of the country.

At a meeting of the York Springs Anti-Slavery

forward them to the County papers for publication:

otherwise, are in vain.
