IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO
Rmnirett tyrishisent of Commisnonera
fo trail for Peace—Colonel Pierce's
March from Vera Crux Resisted—
", "Or at ,Les Boys.
11t, steamship New Orleans, Captain
Alla, arrived at New Orleans at an early
Seer on the morning of tile 22t1 from Ve
ra Cell: via Tampico and the Brazos.—
HM dates from Vera Cruz are to the
)17tViltitne. Hernew•s is very important.
The Vera Cruz Sun of Anahuac, of the
lidip , ,,hes the following:
•' lA'jitivate eniress arrived hero night be-
, : foidrag_from Puebla, bringing very inter
esting intelligence from that place, from
'•• Wile% ami from Generals Cadwallader
• and.rdiew'a train.
The express left Puebla on the 3d July,
sad. brought private letters dated the
sails day.
News had been received the day 'previ
ew tore Mexico, that three commission
-fart llatl Wien appointed by the Mexican
clovernment to confer with Mr. 'l'rist, at
Ban Martin Te.smalucao, El leagues from
Puebla, and it was supposed they would
aMiet him on the eth of July.
' The express rider met with Generals
Cadendlader and Pillow, and their respec
tive eommandsat Peyote. They had been
attacked at la Hoya and had completely
tented the enemy, having sustained but
little lloas. No property was lost, and both
trains bad arrived at Perot° ; which place,
a correspondent says, they were to leave
woe 9th of July.
We have seen a letter dated Mexico, Ju
ly 2d. The writer says that he (bats not
desibi that a treaty of peace would be con
cluded at once by the Commissioners.—
He also says that the Peace Party Itas.lie
tome so considerable in the Capitol that
Anna, ( who is always on the
Sidi of the strongest.) will soon pronounce
himself in lavor of Peace.
A letter from Puebla which was written
several days before the express left that '
place, states that there had been some sick
mess among our troops. We do not give
our readers the whole contents of this let
ter, because: it is full of rumors, which had
not been realized at the latest dates.-
• The Mexicans were still fortifying - the
city of Mexico, but the means of the gov
ernment were so limited, that we do not
doubt that it will not be more than a day's
work for General Scott to demolish all
The Mexiestis have done in three months,
in ease they should show resistance.
On the 18th of July, General Pierce
with his command of detachments from
the 3d Dragoons, 4th Artillery,3tl infantry
and the 7th, Bth, 9th and 14th infantry. a
detachment of voltigeurs and a large do•
tachment of marines, amounting t, 200
men and 150 wagons, had taken up their
Ins of march towards Puebla.
The following is an extract from the
report of Capt. Auld, of the New Orleans:
'General Pierce had marched out as a.
Bove stated, and encamped about ten miles
front the city, when the scouts or out.
guards came in and reported a large force
of .Mexicans at the National Bridge and
marching towards the city. Every thing
was got ready for an attack. The ship.
ping was removed from between the city
and the castle. General Pierce came in
and took a reinforcement of 700 awn, ma
king in all 3200 men.
We do not find in the slips which have
_reached us any confirmation bf a baltletkkt .
tween the force under General Pierce and
the Mexicans, as reported by the telegraph.
1a regard to the report that Commission

for him the highest regard from the (Mi

patched Lieut. Lindenblirger, acting Adju

and while in that act, he received a destruc

said behire, the horses were all mustangs,
and at the report of the musketry they be

On hearing the report of musketry from
the opposite bank 'of the river, the Mexi
cans concealed on this side' commenced
firing on the main body of the expedition
from every• side, when Capt Wyse came

five rowels of canister, which at this time
was an invaluable prize.
A number of the men, contraty in or

and helped themselves to every thing val

foremost amongst there, were the Mexican
muleteers who accompanied the Ctdoned.
They appeared to be old hand at the Masi.

After our troops encamped, they could
see large bodies or the enemy moving to
the rear of them for the purpose of cutting
off their farther retreat, but both men and
horses were so exhausted, that it was de
termined to remain in their present posi
tion, for a short time, to test.
Near dark General Garay's aid-chmminp
and a Major , of , the staff, came neat
De Hussy's Camp with a flag of Dime.—
The Colonel did not allow them to enter
his camp, but wet them at a short distaste
outside of it. The Colonel was accompa
nied by Captain Wyse. Thcaid hinasled
the Colonel a letter. The Canna told
him, iu subseince, "that it was too dash
to read it, and that he having nocandes ea
light, probably he [the aid) could to l him
the purport of it.' The aid, who spoke
English fluently replied. "that it 'was a
summons tor an unconditionil surrender
as General Garey had sufficient mlin sad
means to conquer him, and he wailed to
spare an efilision of blood." Colonel De
Itussey immediately returned the letter.
unopened, to the aid, and he told the aid
to "tell General Garey that the idea of sur
render had never entered his mind. and he
therefore declined any correspondence on
that subject"—when the Aid and Major,
after the usual compliments. retired.
Colonel lk Hussey now ordered camp
fires to be made, and all the horses Lobe un
saddled, and everything had the appearance
to the Mexicans, of his remaining there all
night. In this, however, they Were de
ceived, for ilk Colonel took up his line of
march af2 o'clock, A. M., during one of
the heaviest rain storms ever experienced,
and passed silently through the city. They
took the road for Penura, passing in a con
trary direction to the one he came by, and
on which Garay was encamped, and was
ten miles from Tantayoca, when daylight
ovenook him.
At 10 o'clt,icti, A. M., the lancers and
guerillas again came in sight, and hung in
the rear of the detachment all day, smir..
ingandrhooting down without nierey„such ,
unfortunate persons, as straggled off from
the main body. On one occasion a large
body of lancers collected in a group, when
Captain Wyse gave them a salute with
a charge of canister, and made great havoc
among high horses and riders, killing and
wouudi,ng shout 30 men, and front that
time they kept at a respectful distance.
The Mexicans followed our little detach
mew for two clays, awasionally exchang
nig a kw alums. Lieut. Hunter was shot

'When Colonel De Hussey wit within 15
miles.of Pennon, he dispatched Mr. Geo.
Lefler, an old citizen of this place, to Col
onel Gates, 'giving him an account of his
position, and informing him of their being
entirely out of ammunition. and a largo bo
dy of the enemy in his rear.
Colonel Gates immediately despatched
Lieutenant Colonel Marks to his relief with
160 men, two pieces of cannon and plen
ty of ammunition. Lieutenant Colonel
Marks went to Penuca with his command

MILITARY GLORY.-.... 4. correspondent
asks how it , happens that so much indif
ference has been shown to the military ex
ploits of General Scott in the Mexican war.
He hat4lanned his operations with great
judgment, and executed them with signal
spirit, bravery, and success, and our friend
thinks should receive a higher tneed of
praise than has yet been awarded to him.
Our correspondent has not, perhaps,
considered the distinction between a war
waged out of our country and a war waged
within it; between a war Involving the
safety of the nation, and a war in which,
whatever may be the event, no great mis
chief to the material prosperity of the
country, and no danger to its inhabitants,
can well arise. If the Mexicans were the
invaders; if our own soil and our own
homes were in danger ; if General Scott
had stood to defend our frontier, and by
as brilliant a victory as that of Cerro Gor
do hild repulsed, scattered, and cut to pie
ces the enemy, 'we can imagine how loud,
how fervent; how universal would have
been the expression of applause. A feel
ing of gratitude, as well as of gladness at
'danger averted, would have mingled with
admiration for his valor and conduct ; and
it is these more than anything else, which
give intensity for the respect we feel fur
heroic qualities and actions.
Genera /Amos fcilWht but one great

A SPEECH FROM GEN. TAYLOR.
At the celebration at Monterey, in Mex
ico, of the Anniversary of. the Independ
ence of the United States, the whole com
pany assembled on the occasion (Gen.
Crams° presiding) was agreeably sur
prised by a Speech from die old soldier
who had so often led them to battle and to
victory. The following account of the in
cident is given by the correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune :
Lieut. Fuller, of the Massachusetts reg
iment, gave—
"GEN. TAYLOR: We bail him as the
next President; may his civil be as bril
liant as his military career." [This sen
timent was drunk with three times three.]
Can. Ts l.ot rose and responded to
to this sentiment:
“Mr. President and Gentlemtn: I have
never had the vanity to aspire to or look
for tint elevated situation whirl* has just
liven alluded to, but if thy fellow-eouutrv
men think proper to elevate toe to so dis
tinguished and honorable a position, I cer
tainly shall do my best to discharge the
duties of that responsible position faithful
ly. But, if any other candiddte is prefer=
red by the people as More competent than
myself, I need not say that I shall acqui
esce most cheerfully in their decision, and
shall'rejoiCe that there is one more worthy
to represent them in the highest.o4fice to

The General then gave as a toast : •

FATS or Yoviso Ststhes.—The Char
lottsville Republicats gives the following
account of the sad fate of Semmes, the
young man who shot Prof. Davis, some
years since, at the Virginia University:
We learn from an authentic source that
Johph G. Semmes, respecting whose ca
reer our readers will be curious to hear
something certain, brought his life to an
end by his own hand,ou the morning of
the 9th4ltimo, at the house of his brother,
in Washington, Georgia. He shot him
self with a pistol, the ball entering the left
eye and penetrating the brain, and linger
, ed in a state I tote insensibility from a
bout 7 o'clock, A. M., when the family
was called to his room by the report of a
Wpitol, until half-past one of the same day.
iten his room was entered he was found
in a chair, placed at a table. A pistol was
lying across his lap, and on the table was
an open razor. On the table was also
found a note, stating, in the form of a cer
tificate, dated July 911,1847, that his death
was occasioned by himself, and was
brought about either by pistol or razor.
07MliO ALMOST TO DEATH.—On Mon
day of last week, a hoy, about twelve years
of age, was gored almost to death, by a
steer, which had escaped from a slaughter
house in New Orleans. The infuriated
animal , meeting with the boy, made a plunge
at him, nod catching him under the throat
on his horns, threw him into the air.—
When he came down, the infuriated beast
gored him in the neck and trampeled on
Him in a shocking manner. The bov
was providentially rescued and taken to
an apothecary's, where hiS wounds were
dressed. Slight hypes were entertained
of his recovery.
SAD ACCIDSNT.-A correspondent
ting from Independence, IVashington coun
ty, Pennsylvania, furnishes us with the
following particulars of a sad accident that
occurred in that town a few days ago :
It appears that a Mr. Henry Virtu, a
highly respectable man with a small family
took down his gun,,(not knowing it was
loaded) to shoot a 'fowl. As is a fool
ish custom with many people, he put his
mouth to the muzzle to ascertain if there
was a load in •it, and by- some means it
was accidently discharged while he was
blowing in it. The whole contents of the
load passed through his head, killing him
instantly.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-At Philadelphia,
on Wednesday night the 29th ultimo, some
young men were preparing for a gunning
expedition. One of them had a musket
which he was putting a cap upon, u hen it
was accidentally discharged, and Wounded
four or five persons. James McMullen,
who was engaged in pantog on the cap.
had his whole lower jaiv shot away, and
was dreadfully wounded in the breast.—
He died shortly after. A young man, cal
led Bah'', was severely wounded in the
left breast, and was taken to the hospital.—
The others were wounded about the
limbs, but not dingerously.

RELIEF TO IRELAND AXD SCOTLANO.-
The following is au estimate of the amount
of eoatributions sent by this country for
the relief of the high and Scotch, from the

to give his exhibition without taxing him
$25 per day for a Hecate. 'As this was
the first lime that a license had ever
been charged. for any exhibition in Sarato
ga, the little General wrote a letter to the
Trustees, stating that he was satisfied from
their acts that Saratoga could produce mu c h
smaller men than himself—he should there
fore most respectfully decline coming in
competition with those who evidently had
so much the advantage of him in point o
itlleneass. -

TRAIT OF POPE PIPS IX.—There is in
the JOurual II Mont? Illustrato,,a paper
et kiame,the following fact, which IS as,
gelled to 'be-authentic.
44 rich lord, father of two young men,
wished to constitute one of them his uni-
Versal legatee, only impOsing on him, tts
was believed, a deed of trust km the bone
,fit of the Church: The twq sons, informed
of the intentions of their fiither, with whose
eccentric character they were acquainted,
resolved, without regard to his orders, to
divide his fortune equally. The father,
irritated by this resistance to his com
mands, made another will, which he de
pOsited with the prothonotary of the Holy
See; By this act he reduced his two sons
tor* bare,,sopport, and bequeathed all hie
wealth to the Priest who , should chance to
say the first mass the day of IA funeral.
The protlionotary,infdymed some time after
of the decease of the testator, opened this
singular deed, and thought it his duty to
take it to the Pope before its contents could
be known. The Pope, Pius I X., having
received the communication very late in
the evening, repaired in great haste at
break of day to the church where were to
he offered up the prayers for the repose of
the soul of the det!eased. He caused the
doors to be opened by disclosing his rank,
and performed the 'service. Becoming
thus universal legatee, without deed of
trust, or any restriction whatever, the Pope
made use of his right by immediately giv
ing up to the heirs the whole property.- 7 -
By this act of liberality and justice the
Holy Father *vented the law-suit which
would undoubtedly have been undertaken
to nullify the will of a lunatic."

the cause. This being told him, he took
a glass of wine in his hand, and went to
the queen's room. “Madain," said he to
her, "1 have learned that yesterday, in my
cups, I forgot myself towards you. 1
come to ask your pardon, and to prevent
a recurrence of such a fault ; I drink this
glass to your health ; it shall be the last
during my life." Ile kept his word, and
from that day he never tasted wino.

Douglass Jerrold considers that no edu

ratory organ, but few probably arc aware
attic magnitude of the part which, in vir
tue of its fundrion, it performs in the ani
mal economy. With reference, therefore,
to this point, he cites the following state
ment of Surgeon Wilson, F. IL S., the
the celebrated English anatomist :
To obtain tvi estimate, of the length of
tube of the perapiratory system of the
whole surface of the body, I think that 2,-
800 might might be taken as a fair average
oldie number of pores itr the inch, and
700:4onsequently, of the number of inched
in length. Now, the number of square
inches of surface in a titan of ordinary
height and bulk is 2,500; the nornler of
pores, therefore, 7.000,000, and the num
ber of inches of perspiratory tube, 1,750,-
000, that is, 145,833 feet, or 48,000, yards,
or nearly twenty-eight miles.
AN INFANTICIDE AND AN 04D StrPERSTI-
TioN.--Ite Boston Post gives this expli
nation of the murder of a little child at
Barnstable on Sunday last :
The cofiiin containg the corpse was ta.
ken into the church on Tuesday, and all
the neighbors were collected there, and,
one by one, according to the form of the
old superstition, requested to lay their
hands on the coffin and declare their inno
cence of the murder. When it came to
the turn of the mother of the child, sbe re
luctantly laid her hand on the collitt, and
by great efforts made out to say—"l didn't
do it—l didn't do it." Tier manner at once
created violent suspicion against her, and
after being questioned a little, she made a full
confession of murder, and also admitted
that she made the several attempts to set
fue to the house, vi,kich have been noticed
heretofore.
FEMALE Comt.toe.—A servant girl, re
.inarkable for her fearless disposition, laid
a wager that ,she would go into a charnel
house at midnight will] a light, and bring
from thence a dead man's'skull. Accor
,dingly, at the appointed, time, she went,
but the poison with whom she madeihe
bet had gone before and hid himself in/the
place. When he heard Imr descend and
take up the skull, he called out, in a hollovv,
I dismal voice, "Leave me my head !" The
girl, instead of displaying symptoms of
horror or fright, ',very cooly laid it down
and said, "Well. there it is then," and
took up another; upon which the voice
repeated. "Leave me my head !" But the
heroic girl, observing it.was•the smile voice
that had called before,

THEDETHEON.—The Reading Journal, in
an article upon the use of the Letheon in 'surgi
cal operations, gives a case in which the amputa
tion of a limb was enacted in that place, with its
assistance. Mr. HURT PRI /ME, whose leg was
crushed by a coal train on Saturday evening, had
the limb amputated on Sunday- morning by Drs.
'LIMITER and Militstax, of Reading. Previous
to the operation, the Letheon was administered,
and the result fully established all that is said in
favor of the newly discovered agent. During the
operation he was entinaly insensible to pain, and
laughed and joked while the knife and saw wore
separating the quivering flesh and cutting through
tarbories,..uunaelesaral arteries I The leg was
amputated above the knee joint, and we are
told that the unfortunate man never once win
ced under the dreadful , operation, or experienced
the slightest pain or disagreeable sensation.
.‘
The sensations produced by the inhalation of
the Letheon are variouslm described. The - Editor
of the Cincinnati Herald gives his experience as
follows:
"We have taken it ; we have had a den
tal extracted under its inflonce, and this
Aims the way of it. We took our seat on
a large chair, and took into our mouth a
large tube which conveyed the gas. We
commenced inspiring and coughing at the
same time. As our inspirations grew more
regular, our coughing ceasea, and we be
gan to lodise our consciousness. Then we
began to hear a noise of a thousand nail
mills. Then we seemed to be riding-up
on a railroad, along which myriad cars
were thundering, and we were going faster
and faster into a black void, in which were
loud noises, as of: an earthquake. Then
we thought, "we will tell of this," and
were framing what figure of speech we
should use in describing that jarring thun
dering noise, when we lapsed away, and
ffulu. - Wtrwenrupnrrarristamt -
Suriner breathed over the blue waters ;
odors, as of Eden, made the air faint with
their luxury. Musical fountains• plashed
in marble basins—birds sang in cool groves.
Away down a vista, overarched with cliMb
ing roses, a white marble palace upreared
its wall. 'We were lying faint and languid,
but joyful, gazing down this vista. Over
us bent an old man, who gazed inquiring
ly into our face. Just then a bevy of
maidens came capering along in graceful
sport towards us. We laughed at their
glee, and they in revenge attempted to bind
us with roses. We put up our hands to
save ourselves from such a calamity, and
awoke, with our hands firmly clasping the
arm of the operator, who had just extract
ed the tooth. The first thing we recog
nized was a picture smiling upon us from

WAR WASTE.—The Jonesboro' Whig says
that Col. Wm. Campbell's First Regiment of Ten
nesse Volunteurs, numbered 1,000 brave men on
their march to Mexico. Only 350, rank and file,
of this gallant regiment returned with the (Colonel
to their homes. Col. askelrs Second Reg
iment of Tennessee Volunteers numla•red 10-10 on
their March to Mexico. Only alin of these gallant
men, lank and tile, returned o ith Col. Haskell, to
their homes anti IfiClitirl—thvif wives and children

I•IIiLANCIFOLY.—A collision took place on
the Lancaster and Columbia Railroad, mar the
fernier place, on Friday last, by which a lcomo
tire was dashed to pieces, and several cars were
thrown off the track. Among the passengers were
two young men front Pottsville, named Enw4 Mot
and WILLIAMS, who had WI borne a few weeks
previously for the Westeni part of this State, for
the purpoae of getting married. They were re.
turning in thta train' atcompanicd by their wive*,
and were both instantly killed ! One of the ladies
had her (AIM bone broken.
THE PROSPECTS.—The papers of the into
rior, says the' Lancaster Examiner, are urging
Gen. Irvin's merits with industry and lively- zeal
As his .character becomes known, he must acquire
a higher place and stronger hold in the popular es
timation. Tho conviction , is gaining ground that
he will be elected. A distinguished Locofoco, re•
sitlent of one of the comities bordering on the
West Branch of tho Susquehanna, recently re
marked to a friend of ours that his success was cer
tain unless the Democrats - could lie aroused from
their apathy into more vigorous action.
(r The Carlisle Herald says that the Directors
are about to relay the track on the road between
that borough and Harrisburg _with .a heavy iron
bar of nearly , tioublo the thickness and weight
ofthat now used, and it is hoped that the increase
of business will aeon justify the company in ex
tending the new track over the entire line to Cham
bcrehurg.
REPUDIATED.—Of the lOU Locofneo mem
bers of Congress who voted to censure Gen. Tay
lor, only about 24 have so far been re-elected to
Congress, and only fair qf these were re.elerted after
the obruoleas tote mos gfcen !—lhe others having
been mainly re-elected last fall.

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.—The
Locofoco Preis, almost Without expt , if char"
actorized, by the wor s t species of dininnt r .
Assuming that the - MIMS of the paople anise*:
rant end vicious, it, abuses them with perreisions
of facts, and attempts to enlist their aid by appeals
,to the Worst piiminna othuman nature... In Penn
sylvania, such has heretofore boon eininently the
practice. The shameless decoptions—the un
blushing frauds—the
..Lies, like the father that begets them—
Gross as a mountain, opens, palpable,"
whit h Lorukco party letatra, through Lotoksio
party organs, have constantly rasortedio, leave no
doubt that in the estimation of the managing kw,
the great many are sunk in a depth of stupidity so
profound that no ray of intelligence can ever reach
them. But for this conviction these manners
would not have dared to flaunt on their banners:
"Polk, Builds and the Tannic& 1842," when they
knew ip their hearts that the "AMC hour which
wit:ceased tie triumph of the two first, would also
witness the destruction . ef lasts—hut fo; this
they-would not havo dared to assert that our claim
to the whole of Otegon was clear and unquestion
able, end that to abate one jot Of title of that claim
would he treason to the cmintry, when they knew
that Ruch claim would not be maintained by the
Administration : but for this they would not have
dared to proclaim that the prices of breadatuffa
were enhanced by the tariff of 1E146 in the face of
the fact that the advance was clearly the. result of
European famine:—and Out for this they would
not flow dare to glorify a war which has already
cost the country a lavish outpouring of treasure
and blood and teat; and which will leave behind
it a vast national debt and vaster national demor
alization. - •
The fact is that with all their pretenon of ra
gard for the "toiling 'millions," thu demagogues,
who are loudest at these professions, heartily des
men havo no fiiiiiii4her in pop
ular intelligence or popular virtue. If they Whim
ea in the former, they would not so openly insult
it ; if they behests' in the latter, they would not eto
constantly provoke its retributive memories. Such
men, moreover, hero no sympathy with the hard
ships, and feel no interest in the advancement of
the working claws. Genuine sympathy shows
itself not in noisy protestation, but in active efforts
for relief: real interest is manifested not by the
lip only but by the heart and the hand. What
has been the course of Locofocoisintl It has con
stantly endeavored to depress the masses, by d o _
pri%ing them of the incentives to exertion. Hy
dotnining up the sources oflabor it has taken from
them the opportunities of acquiring wealth ; by
lessoning the rates of wages, it has taken from
them the means of comfortable subsistence. in
the midst of its hypocritical cant about the poor
man's rights, it snatches the decent garment from
his wife's hack, and the grateful loaf from his
child's mouth, and compels him to forego all that
he himself has been accustomed to_regard as al
most helispensado necessities. According to the
theory of Locotbctasin ho is an independent Rove
reign—in the rigid results of Locofoco practice he
is left to starve and perish.
It is gratifying to know that the wretched cant
in which liocofiamism habitually: indulgers, is now
understood by thrive' to whom it is addressed. It is
gratifying to know that the pl•nple are beginning
to be sensible of the deliberate illetlain of their un
derstandings, and the profligate palteringS with
their deareAt colicerns, which the leaders of that
party have for years pruetis - ed. Arid it nlaogrnt
ißinging to perceive in all the indications which
reach us from all sections of our own State, that
in the coming election their frauds and injuries—
their contempt for the reason, and their experi
ments on tlke purses, of thoso whom they have hith
erto misled, will receive a rebuke which will appal'''.

CHESTER COUNTY.--A very lart.,m and
enthusiastic meeting of the Whigs of Chester
county assendiled at Westchester on the 27th ult.
a t whi c h a seriesofmost excellent resolutions were
adopted, declaratory 01 Whig prineiples, and the
position and duty of the Whig party in reference
to the great issues now before the country. A
mong them we find the following, which comes
up to our notions precisely and will meet with a
cordial response from every Whig in the "Young
Guard." As for ourselves, we shill! support no
man for office, Mite or National, who is not dis
tinctively and avowedly a Whig, and pledged to
to a recognition of Whig principles in discharging
the duties of that office :
L'esulural, That the principles of the Whig par
ty, conservative, patriotic and just, like the prinel
plesof immutable truth, admit of no compromiso 7 , -'
and that as Whigs, therefore, we will entrust the der ,
Unice of our Country to no man who is not a Whig,
a whole Whig, and nothing but a Whig.
Thu following resolution was also adopted at
the meeting :
That we &Alin grateful remembrance
the services rendered by the Hon. janle9 Cooper,
!in our National and State Legb.latures, to the
'Whig party and the copntry. We are proud of
his exalted talents—we admire the course pursued
by hint throng!' every viciesituds'fiTlikatiess or dis
apPolntment ; and we promise °UT:slaves the future
gratification of assisting to elevate him to high
statiens which his attaininents 'aro eminently fitted
to adorn.
NO NEWS.—The "Sindhem 'Papers by last

CA PrlON.—The Ilauorer Spectator calls the
auention of the proper officers to the fact that a
number of young gentlemen from Baltimore and
other places are shooting numberless birds, inclu
