that in the matter of people we are doing a

I and Scott ,and Taylor rant kill him off.
We get hist holdlin him with our diplo

and Scott and Taylor cuts his head off in
every town where they can catch him, hut
he always comes to life in the next town,
and, shows as many heads as if he had
never lost one. I had a long talk with him
in the city, aird'pinnerl hint right down to
the bargain he made with you when you
lethim tato Vera Cruz, and asked him why
didsCx stick to it. He said he did stick
to it as Tar as circumstances rendered it pru

I "But," says I, "Gineral Santa Anna,
that aim the thing ; a bargain's a bargain,
and if a man has any honor he'll stick to
it. Now," says I, ~ didn't you agree, if
tlltt President would give orders to our

now. I ask you, as a man of honor, have

"Circumstances alter cases, Major,"
says Santa Anna. ""When Mr. Polk and
I had that understanding, he thought he
needed a few more votes than he could
minder in his own country to bring him

agreed, if I would turn over the votes of

he would afterwards turn over his share of

it would be throwing our labor away, for
Mr. Polk's part of the votes in his country
was getting to be so small that they would
not do much goad to either of us. So I
concluded to hold on to what I had got,
and stick to the Presidency of Mexico."
"Then," says you aim going 'm stick

"No," says he, "circumstances alters

Then I tried to scare him out of it. I

"Very well," says he, "go on the Mex

A GALLANT SOLDIER AND A DEAD SHOT,
—Among the noble spirits who fell at the
taking of Mexico, was Col. MAUTLN Scurr,
who was eulogised by one of his men as
the best soldier of the sth infantry—his
regiment. Col. S. was a native of Ver.,
writ. Pi his youth he was famous among
the sharpshooters of the Green Maintains,
very few of . whom could perform feats to
be evirriparecl- with his; riever sitiot
game in the body ; but at whatever height
or distance, always struck the head. Ile
would drive a uail into a board, part of the
way, with a hammer, and then taking the
farthest distance at which his eye could
distinctly see it, drive it home with his un
erring bullet.
Col. Scou is the same individual so cel
ebrated as Capt. Scott, in the anecdote mid
of the coon, who, hearing his name pro
nounced by-some-bunters, told him not to
fire, as he would come down from the
"tree."

siaa M. Clay's company of volunteers
who were prisoners in Mexico, have pub
lished a card, in the course of which they.
say : .
'When Capt. Henry made his escape,
and the Mexican Commander, excited by
that event, gave orders for the massacre of
the Americans, Capt. Clay exclaimed :
"_'Kill the officers--spare the soldiers !"
A Mexican Major ran to him, presenting
a cocked pistol to his breast. He still ex
claimed : me—kill the officers—but
spare the men—they are innocent!" Who
but C. M. Clay, with a loaded pistol to his
head, and in the hands of an enraged ene
my, would have shown such magnanimous
self-devotion; If any man is entitled to
be called the "soldier'. friend," he is."
A meow scuievanzxr.—The several
accounts we have had of the suffering and
mortality of a party of emigrants to Cali
fornia, in the mountains last winter, have
been rather imperfect, leaving in uncer
tainty the fate of a few. By a letter in the
CaliforMaßtar lira learn that passed mid
shipman Woodworth organized an expedi
tion to the mountains in March, and saved
from death forty of the emigrants who
were lost in thessnow storm. The suffer
ings of the men, women arid children were
terrible. ..Two of Mrs. Grase's children
that died, were eaten by the survivors, and
when the party was found, they had eaten
the breast, heart, liver, and lungs of Mrs.
Craves, who also died. The undertaking
to save the lost ones was difficult and clan
gerou?, and Woodworth himself was 24
. dap in flesnow, and crossed Bear Moun
tain four times. •
Gen. Sixrrr, in one Of his orders, calls
on the commanders of regiments and Corps
to furnish the names of Sergeants, Corpor
als, and other enlisted men who distinguish
ed themselves in the recent battles, so that
they may receive the benefit of the am of

AMERICAN ART UNION —lna late num•
her of the Star a Corresrxindent drew die attention
of its readers to this association, established in N.
York City for the promotion of the Fine Arts, and
the encouragement of native Artists. To accom
plish this truly national and laudable object, "The
American Art Union" was incorporated by the
Legislature of 111. York. we believe, in 1840. fly
the act of incorporation every subscriber of $5 be
comes a member of the Association for the year,
and entitled to all its privelers The money thus
obtained is applied, under the management of a
Board of Directors chosen annually; first, to the
production of a large and costly Original Engrav
ing from an American paining, of which Engrav
ing every member reeeiyes a ropy ; and second, to
the purviews of Painting-and Sculpture - by tuitive :
and resident artists, which are publicly exhibited .I
at the Gallery of the Art Union till the annual
meeting in December, when they are publicly die
tributes' by lot among the niein . fiCrs, each member
having one share for every five dollars paid by him.
Ely this arrangement every member is certain of t
securing a full equivalent for his subscription.
in a large and costly Engraving, and may also re
ceive a painting or other work of art of great value.
Each member also receives a full annual report of
the proceedinge of the Association.
Last year the income of the Art Union was
$22,295, and 146 paintings, richly framed, varying
in price from $l5 to $6OO, were distributed by lot
among- the- mendwritt-aud- each member of that
year also received a copy of a large line Engraving,
representing the "Parting of Sir Walter Raleigh
with his Wife." A copy of this splendid Engrav
ing can be seen at the office of D. M'Coasrour,
Esq.othr Corresponding Secretary for this place.
We have been favored with a Catalogue of the
Paintings, &e. intended for distribution at the an
nual meeting in December next, and find that 151
Paintings have already been secured by the Asso
ciation, which number will be increased by the
purchase Of others es rapidly as the funds will per

late WIIIIIIIOTON ALLSTON, Will also he distribu

member will be entitled to Two large Engravings,
"The Jolly Flatboatmin," and "A Sybil." From
the design before OS we take it that "The Jolly
Platboatmen" will be a capital picture, and alone
worth the amount required for memhership.
Such are the purposes and such the plan, of the
•"Anterican Arr Union," We feel assured that it
requires no comment of ours to commend it to the
favor of one readers. Several of our citizens have
already become members. Others wishing to do
so, or desiring further information, will be cheer
fully attended to by Mr. IWCossrolifr.

TUE RECENT ELECTlONB—Nothwith

on local questions. In Georgia we lose the Gov

and a U. 8. Senator. In Pennsylvania we lose
the Gorerhor and the Ronne, but inaraPeotrrna

group of officers, and, without exchanging a word,
marvelling what would he the end of hint and his
chivalric expedition. The "cloud" that hung over
him, we km w, filled the minds of almostall the
volunteer, .a the country with hesitation and
doubt. They wanted to he led by General Tay

man than Gen. Scott. His past history had been
forgotten, or dimmed in that "clowl,"—and there
was a want of confidence in his capacity by almost
all save the officers of the regular army, who knew
him well, and who, therefore, had the utmost con
fidence in his ability. This confidence was not
restored until, by his happy disposition of the fifteen
or twenty thousand men concentrated in our trans
porta before Vera Cruz, they were landed, as if by
magic, and the city and castle of San Juan d't;lloa
were besieged and bonibunted. The
.a-rent soldier
then began to shine mit so gloriously, that the
cloud could no longer conceal his brlllll., and the
radiance of his first but forgotten fame ag.iiii ll

populace of his country—end from that moment,
there was not a man in the would under whom ail
officer or a soldier would rather serve than under
their own most illustrious general.

MR. Branum :—Allow me to conrct an error
in one of your editorials of last week, in which
you say that the l'ottigrur regiment, under

place are connected, was engaged in the recent
battles under the walla of Mexico.
That regiment w a.; engaged in those banks, and
behaved most gallantly : but you arc in error as
to the name of iia Colonel. COL AYnnn:w,, and
not cot. RA PIPET, commands the Voltigeura.

BIS 110 P DERDONK.-11'0 learn from the
Commercial Advertiser that the final disposition
made of the application or demand of Bishop 13. F.
0 it,: a ~ vs, for restoration, made by the House
of Higher*, now siting in New York, is as follows:
As soon as the liaison placing the power to remit or
modify such sentence as his in the 11mk.ge_.of
Bishopi had become a law, b . ) the action of both
BMWs, a committee of five Bishops, elected by
ballot, brought in a report reemiummdlog urusnimous•
I y that the Riolsop 'quart leave to !tido-draw his papers."
The report went largely into the reasons for reject
ing his demand. Among others, it is stated that
there was no reason to believe that he had repent
ed of that which he had been found guilty, and
that until there should he received from him an
ample confession of guilt and satinfactory proles
slot, of repentance, restoration was impossildc.—
The report went further, and aimed at impressing
on the mind of Bishop Onderilonk that, since the
°thee of a Bishop w• is given him, not fur his sake,
but the good of the Church, there was nothing letl
to hint but the bait "legal possibility" of being ever
restored, and no such possibility as should be the
basin in his mind of any expectation.
The vote on the restoration was siriren to fix.
The sir were precisely the same Bishops who, on
the trial, voted sot guilty. Two Bishops, who
would certainly have voted with the sixteen, were
absent, viz : Bishops Smith and Potter. All prep•
eat, the vote would have been eighteen to six. •

Jottrillt. CLAYTON opened the case oh Fri
day last in behalf of the U. States, and in
•support of his claim produced a number
of rare and interestingdoeumentS. One of
these was nothing less than the original
deed from King Charles the 11. of Eng
land, with his autograph and royal seal, to
his most dear brother James, duke of York
and Albany, (afterwards James II.) in
which. the King conveys New Castle and
twelves miles round about it, to the duke
for TEN THOUSAND YEARS, in considera
tion—if we remember--of the duke's yield
, ing and paying to him four rabbit skins an
nually on each feast of Michael ihe Arch- I
,angel. Then came several deeds from the
duke, afterwards the king, with his sigma- .
lure and arms, to,Williani Penn, in which
out of special regard to die memory and 1
many eminent and faithful services which
Admiral Sir 'William Penn, father of the'
founder of Pennsylvania, had rendered to
him, the duke, for ten shillings, conveyed
the same property to our Quaker progeni
tor. These deeds having hcen lost for
nearly two centuries, were found recently
in the charter-room at Stoke Fogies, the
seat of William Penn's desentuns, in Eng
land. The exteriors of them were black
with age, hut the signature, seals, einblax
onry, and royal images on the interior,
were as fresh and as clear as though but
two days, instead of two centuries, had
passed since their delivery.
Wirry, IF NUT ALL TRUE.—A friend at
our elboviLstieks to it 'that the returns for
Westmoreland are the same tally-sticks
that were sent in in 1844, with only some
verbal operations. In Tioga they use a
pine stick. On one side they put au owl
for -"Democrat," and on the other a coon
for "Whig," and as every elector conies
with a *knife, he notches knowingly on
the side he wants to vote.
In most pans of [Jerks county they use
beans. The small white ure the Whigs ;
the speckled, green, white, and yellow arc
for the Democratc; and black beans are
allowed to the abolitionists. A fier they
are counted, the beans are put hack, and
remain for the next eleeti9o , liir I;overnor.

they put one in.

might be adopted to 4t.dvipitage elsewhere :
they tie‘er allow a man to vote until lie is

that he has little thseretiou until he gets it
from his wife. By the saint, process of

The result of this election was looked to with
more than usual interest, as probably influeneing
to a great degree the next Presidential Election and
the future prospects of parties. A direct and pos
itive issue was made between the two parties on
the question of the annexation of new Slave Ter
ritory. The Whig Convention unanimously re
solved in lavor of the Wilmot Proviso, while the
Lucofoco convention, on the other hand, refused to
adopt a similar resolution. The Anti-81uvery-Ex
tension portion of the Democratic party, with Jutiv
NAN Buttes, Mr. CA l l n nstsso, and other leaders,
immediately called another “Democratic State
Convention," and with a devotion to principle and
an integrity of purpose, that does honor to the
head pouf hurt, denounced and repudiated the
Pro—Slavery action of the Locofoco Conventitm,
and resolved not to recognize its nominations.--
The result is before the country, and a glorioua
one it is.

the entire State. The Whig State candidates are
elected by from 20,000 to 30,000 majority. lloth

of this most wonderfwl medicine in curing tbe most

the case may be, there is a remedy in Hunt's Lin

years a cripple, caused by falling from a chair
when be was two years old, and wrerching his
spine. From the time of the occurrence we have
tried every means to restore him to his natural
shape, but all without avail. We took him to N.
York, and placed him under the cars of a physi•
cial of skill, and, after remaining there for some
time, we brought him home no better than when
we took him there. For several days at • time
be was so helpless that he could only walk by
placing his hands upon his knees for support, giv
ing him the appisanm co of a deformed hunchback.
He was also taken to Newburg and prescribed for
without any better success. At times he would be
strong enough to go out of dwits, but after play
ing an hour, would come in perfectly exhausted,
and for several days alter would be again perfect.
ly helpless. We hid bit all hops of seeing him
restored to t natural shape or strength ; but a
kind Provide ee placed your External Remedy in
my hands. I have used but four bottles, and am
rejoiced to say that the boy is now as'straight as
any boy of his age. Any of my neighbors will .
testify to the truth of this statement. I take sin

of others suffering under a like calamity. Your's

This is to certify that I am personally acquaint -

which he was seriously afflicted, apparently for
