so we shall find it to our cost, if, by pro.

out Mexico. Meantime, we say, without
hesitation, that she has, in one instance at
least, manifeeted a faithfulness of national
ity which goes so far to reticent all the dis
graces of her arms. We speak of her an
sever. with Gen. SCOTT and his glorious
little army at the gates of her capital, to
Mr. Tuts r's demand of the cession of New
Mexico. That answer was in the follow
ing terms : •
-That thin proponition, under the rerogni7ed
right of Mexico to deliberate, should be zuodified;
nod that, in the pretensions of the United Jtateo
and the character of his negotiation*, its Commin.

on the terms which were suited in the inntruetions;
bat not even With the resernstion that Congress
should approve it until the Government consent

lic. They say plainly, "Slaughter us; it
is in your power: overrun us; for yon

country will we ever consent to sell or

Mexicans, thus faithful to their Govern
ment and thus repaid by its affection and
fidelity, that President Pau: intends to
drag into our Union, whether they will or
not, by way of making them into a kind
of human indemnity, a corporeal capital,
an animated scrip, out of which are to he
repaid the old losses of certain of our citi
zens ! A great sympathy with love of
country must our President have, and
marvellously precise notions about the
right of a province, a good deal more pop
ulous than was Texas in 1837, to choose
under what Government it shall live !
FREE IiANKINO.—An alteration in the
banking system of Pennsylvania is earnestly
proposed. Several of our leading Journals
and financiers have already taken ground
in favor of free banks, as now in opera
tion in N. York, with State or National
loans pledged as security for the redemp
tion of their notes. The New York plan
authorises any number of citizens not less
than five, of whom a majority shall reside
in the proposed location, to form an incor
porated safety-bank, the capital of which
is regulated by law, at not more than Sl,-
000,000 and not less than 2,000,000. It
is provided that a bank commencing busi
ness under this act, shall deposite in the
State Treasury, in specie, 8 per cent. of its
' capital, which shall constitute the extent
of its liability to the safety fund for twen
ty years: This is to he invested in stock
of the United States, or of that State, or if
not so invested, shall be allowed five per
cent. interest by the State. The capital,
with the accumulation, to constitute a fund
to protect holders of bills issued under the
art from loss. No !molt, even if it has
closed its business, shall be allowed to re
ceive back any part of its contributions un
til the expiration of the twenty years for
which it is chartered. At the end of the
twenty years, the comptroller shall refund
to it its rateable proportion, and credit the
amount due to those who continue their
business for a new term of twenty years
towards another contribution of eight per
rent. then to be levied. All accumulations
of this fund beyond $3,000,000, to be di
vided annually- rateably among the banks
contribuiting,.
The subject is exciting, a good deal of
attention in commercial and business cit.-
des. and an effort will be made to procure
the passage of a free bankinglaw in our
State at the approaching session of the
Legislature. ‘Vbether the system would
operate beneficially or otherwise we will
not pretend even to venture an opinion.

LATER FRON SANTA FE.--Massacre of
Pawnee Indians by Sinericoil Troops.—
A telegraphic despatch., received at Pitts
burg, Dee. 20, says, intelligence had been
received nt St. Louis from Santa Fe, to
the end of October. On the 25th of Octo
ber the American troops invited a number
of Pawnee Indians into Fort Main, seven
of whom were killed and twenty wounded
by Col. Gilpin's men.
Cul. Gilpin was absent when the bloody
deed was perpetrated. and will . o f course

Important, from Mexico,
Gen. .Inaya Pre.side»t—.l Pram
Cabinet constituted—Jr - rest of Gras.
and Pillow—.Vanta ad-
ramiing on Queretaro, 4.c
The schooner Portia, Capt. AVakeman,
arrived at New Orleans on tiunday after
noon, having sailed from Vera Cruz on ale
Ist inst. and the steamship Virginia, Capt.
'Pucker. having left the 7th inst. The lat
ter brings over eighty discharged and sick
soldiers.
The news by thee arrivals is very in
; first of all, the story about
Santa Anna's being at the head of 18,000
men, amid threatening and overawing Con
gress, and the despatch of General %Vomit
to Queratarn to protect Congress, turns out
to be without any foundation.
General Anaya was elected President
of Alexieo on the Ilth in•t. lie has once
before been Provisional l'resident. His
present term of ()lice extends only to the
Bth of January nest. He is known to be
in favor of peace. in forming his cabinet
he continued Mora y Villlamil in the War
Department, and made Pena y Pena, late
the President. his Secretary or State. The
whole administration is in favor of an lion
orabk peace, and one of its first acts was
to dispatch a commission to the city of Alex
en to re-open negotiations with INIr. Trim.
The commissioners were Senor Couto,
Artistain and Cuevas, and Gen. Hinton,
the first two having been on the former
commirsion. Mr.'prist's powers had been
revoked prior to the arrival of the commis
sion, and as (;en. Scott possessed no pow
ers to treat with them, it is presumed they
were referred to our government at Wash-
The next most important intelligence
by this arrival is the reported arrestor Gen.
Worth, Gen. Pillow, Lieut. Col. Dun
can, by Gen. Scott. The, verbal report is
that letters written by these gentlemen, re
fleeting upon the commander•in-chief, have
fallen into his possession, upon which he
at once arrested them.
There is no news as yet as to the dissol
lution of Congress, in consequence of the
withdrawal of the pnros, but it appears to
be universally believed here that there is
not a quorum left, and it is said that Presi
dent Anaya has written to Gen. Rincon,
aml several other intlential persons, re
questing diem to repair to Qiivretam and
confer with him as to what steps he should
take in the present crisis.
Santa Anna has assumed the emnmand
of the army in Oajaca. lie says that he
was deprived of the command by Pena y
Pena, in order that the latter might find no
obstacle in making _ peace with the Ameri
cans. Ile avows his determination to op
pose any negotiation for peace with the
Americans forces occupying - any portion
of the Mexican territory.
The Arco Iris says that General Patter
son's division left Jalapa on the 25th tilt.
Before his departure he hung, on the 23d,
two American teamsters for having killed
a Mexican boy 12 years old.
Senor Otero brought foreword his pro-
position in the Mexican Congress for de
priving the Executive of the power to alie
nate any part of the territory of the Repub•
lic by a treaty of peace. The proposition
was rejected by a large majority, which is:
deemed a favorable omen.
By the general orders in the Free Arriet ,, ,
jean, we find that a train was to leave the
city of Mexico on the 20th ult. for Vera
Cruz. Mr. Trist will come down with
that train.
The large train under the command of
Gen. Butler has nearly all left. The num•
ber of men accompanying it is estimated
at 8000. Gen Scott will soon have from
35.000 men.
The Arco Iris of the 2d inst. says the
Mexican Commissioners retired at once to
Queretaro upon learning that Mr. Trist
had no power to treat.
Many members of the Congress, dis
pleased with the election of the new Presi
dent, gave up their seats, and retired in dis
gust from the city of Queretaro.
However, there remained yet more than
the fixed number, which is required to
form a quorum.
The following is from the Free Ameri
can of the 25th ult :
°RIZ ABA. -A. gentleman who arrived
here yesterday from Orizaba, which place
he left on the 21st inst.. politely furnished
us with the following intelligence.
A pronunciamento having been made by
the military in Queretaro in favor of San
ta Anna, lie engaged sixty men, and paid
them in advance to accompany him from
'Pettit:lean to that city ; but as soon as they
had received the stun asked for, they de
serted that General.
He then ordered the commander of the
forces in the State of Vera Cruz, Gen.
Mario, to send him an escort, which the
latter reluctantly granted ; but immediate
ly sent his resignation to the government
of Queretaro.
Gen. Santa Anna was to leave Tehua
can on the 22d for Queretaro. We there
fore may expect soon to hear the news of
the overthrow of the government of Mex
ico.
FllO3l THE BEAZO9.-At the Brazos, la
ter accounts from Sahill° had been received
of a most melancholy character. It ap
pears that the Cumanche Indians had made
a descent in large force upon the Mexicans,
robbing and massacreing the inhabitats in
every direction. They seemed totally in
capable of resisting the savages.
Maj. Lane, of the Texas cavalry, with
sixty men, had a tight with them, and held
them at bay, but a larger force had been
sent to his assistance to enable him to drive
them away.
A NEW KIND OF BED.—The Ctunberland
Civilian publishes an extract of a letter
frow W. P. Wood, of that town, now in
Mexico, which says:
"The night after the battle of Churubus.
co, we slept upon the field. 1 crept under
a shed where the surgeons h'ad been CH.
gaged in the amputation oflimbs, &e., and
there slept soundly. In the morning I
found I had been sleeping on a pile of legs
and arms, which were thinly covered over
with straw."
GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRESIDENCY.—
A Washington letter. to the New York
Express, nays : "I have this day seen a
letter, just received from ono of General
Taylor's confidential friends in Louisiana,
in which, quoting Gen. T., he says lie will
not withdraw his Dame from the nomina
tion it has already received, either in favor
of Henry Clay or any body ell : The
nomination made, he regards as 141im the
people, and though in his jiulgement there
are many persons more competent than
himself for this high office, and all are at
liberty to vote for such in preference to
himself, he feels himself committed to re
main a candidate for the Presidency."

PRE SIDENT'SMEsSAGE.--The President's
message has before this time been placed within
reach of all our subscribers, and each 'ono has no
doubt given it that attention which the importace
of the subject matter, and t ho responsible source
from which it eminates, demands. Today we
foiiow it op with a Review of so much of it as re
lates to the War and its origin, from the pen of
the editor of the National Intelligencer ; and we
feel assured that no apology -mill be requisite for
the space thus devoted to the subject. The War
question ;Oust prove the great and controlling top.
is in the discussions and deliberations of the pre
sent session of Cangrek , , end, may be, the con
trolling issue in the political arena Mryears to come.
It is all important, then, that the popular mind
should at Oiler be put in the possession of correct
and just views of the matter in the commence
ment, that it may be dna better prepared to meet
intelligently the great issue on which they shall
be called upon to pronounce.
The disingenuousuess—not to say untruthfulnesa
—which characterizes the late message of Presi
dent Polk, in his argument of the War question,
must have forcibly street even the most casual
reader, at all acquainted with the facts and cir
cumstances incident to tho origin and progress
of the war. In view of the President's repeated
and re-repeated assev erations of a constant and ar
dent desire for peace—the disavowals of any inten
tion to absorb or dismeniber the Mexican Republic
by conquest—the repetition of the falsehood that
hostilities wore commenced by the act of Mexico,
-A-the artful misrepresentation of the action of Con
giess upon the bill recognising the existence of
hostilities--and other similar clutracteriatica of the
message, one can scarcely help thinking that Mr.
Polk, in preparing his argurnent, must here hidln
view-not the Congress of the U. • Stable, calla
together to deliberate 'upon, and_of
med to be familiar widi the/arts id • tle history'bt

friends hi Teammate, bide Whom the oiatof may
be permitted to “demagoguit"iiiellit ah theaite
which every deinagiepti lumen, too will' bow to

Be that as , it, may,,we invite theatteetion of
evens reader, to dre4tscid, logical and triumphing
argument of th e ;Isitelligencen on the. Opt peg. or
to-de” MI% and bespeak foe is a cionftil and4tuiP
led perusal. Although , probably embodying but
little more than what same of our modem may
have already seen In other forms it presente In a
condensed and lucid from an away of farts and tir
gement/ so entirely conclusive, that'we should not .
hesitate to go with it before any 'Worn jury of the
country with the confident assurance of securing
a verdict against the President. The concluding
passages of the review, although severe—severer,
probably, than any thing we have yet seen from,
the pen of the editor of the Intelligencer—are fully
justified by the hypocritical pretensions and revolt
ing propo-itions of the message, so vividly expo.
tied by the Reviewer.
Let every Whig read it as a triumphant vindica
tion of the doctrine of his party on the War
question. Let every one, who would have a right
undect , tanAine, of the farts relating to the c'orn
mencement of hostilities, examine it seriously and
carefully.
GEN. TAYLOR ON THE WAlL—General
TAYLOR, in response to a toast tendered daring
the festivities in New Orleans, alluding to his ser
vices in the field, declared that the joy and exulta
tion of the greatest victories were always, after the
heat and excitement of battle, succeeded by feel
ings of poignant sorrow and pain, and that war,
after all, was a great calamity, and his the great.
est glory who can terminate it.
This is the sentiment of the entire nation, and
we trust that the present Congress will have the
greater glory—Far superior to that which encircles
the brows of Taylor or Scott, Worth, Smith or
Harney—of terminating a war, the further prose
cution of which can add nothing to the honor of
our nation, or the reputation of its soldiers.
LP'' THE CONCERT on Wedn'esday night
was, ns we predicted it would be, a rich entertain
ment—delimit beyond expectation. The "notes"
by a friend, in another column, save us the ne
cessity of specification. The parts were all well
sustained, and well received by the audience. The
enthusiastic applause and encores which greeted
"Moonlights Fairy Hour," "Bachelor's Hall,"
"Come with thy lute to the fountain," "Mrs.
Jones," "Miller's Maid," and "%Very Pekooliar,"
were richly deserved. The "Cuckoo (Violin) So
lo," was handsomely performed, and, with the ex
cellent Piano accompaniments during the eve
rting, was much admired.
Upon the whole the performance' were "credi
table to all concerned," 81111 hard to beat. For
good music, pretty girls, and middy strec!s, we
will put Gettysburg against any town of ita size in
the Union!

"011, DIZEATIII: NOT HIS NAME
is Ole a remarkable circumstance that the name
of 8 INTA Am NA does not once occur in the recent
message of Mr. Polk. The Mexican Chief was
mentioned with great distinction in the President's
"dispatches" of last year, but Mr. l'olk gives his
old friend the cold shoulder since Scott and Taylor
hare whipped him out of all countenance.
TAXING TEA AND COFFEE.—During
the late guhernalinial campaign, the locofoccie fal
sified the records of Congress by stating that Gen.
Invisr voted to tax Teaand Coffee, and many and
severe were the indignant denunciations which
such a supposed outrage on the "necessaries of
the poor man," called forth. Will these presses
now be kind enough to give their opinion on the
following sentence in Mr. Polk's last message: •
UP"I so SIN recommend to your . faeorable con
sideration the expediency of levying a revenue du
ty on tea and collet. Al

RATTLEt!iN AK E BITEB.—The death or Dr.
LIT, in New York, from the bite of a
rattle snake, has excited some attention and drawn
out sundry communications in regard to the surest
method of neutralizing the poison. Among oth
ers, Dr. LEE. of Hartford, (Conn.) states that he
has treated five cases of rattlesnake bites, and all of
them successfully. Ilia remedy is alcoholic liquor
—either ruin, brandy, or gin—given in large do
ses. A half pint every fifteen minutes, !flaking a
quart in an hoar, is not too much, to be given as
soon as possible after the bite. This remedy (he
says) has been used at the South to a great extent.
and has never been known to fail of a cure. The
liquor absorbs or deadens the &tat virus, and
never intoxicates the subject anions is. the virus

unless accompanied by proof that the money was
paid." A friend, who thinks Judge Ni Lt wronged
by the statement, has banded us the annexed ver
sion of the matter, which we cheerfully copy :
Litzenhurg vs. Zedun.--This action was brought
to recover $75 owing by the defendant to the plain
tiff: The principal witness on the part of the
plaintiff was Charles Justice, who proved that he
had paid the money to the defendant fur the use of
the plaintilt• On cross-examination this witness
WAS shown a receipt for $3l 75, as money receiv
ed by him from the plaintiff, by the bend of the de•
fendant. 'l' his receipt was ender.ed on a memo
randum of n judgement recovered against the wit
rieS3 and others before Esquire Loughead, of Phil

coats. 7•he witness admitted that the receipt was
genuine ; that is to imy, that it Was signed by him
to his proper hand writing, but stated that he bad
never received 91,9 money from the delimdaot
The witness was shown also another receipt for
37, but said that although the signature was
his, he did not remember anything about it.
After the evidence on the side of the plaintiff
was closed, the dniCinlant ' S counsel oll's r ed the
receipt in evidence. This was objected to by the
plaintiff's counsel arid ruled nut because the re
ceipt, being that of a third person not n party to

The Concert by our Mends of the Haydn Asso
ciation and Gettys Lodge Band Caine off on Wed
nesday evening, to a largo and brilliant audience.
This is encouraging, and shows the gc;od taste of
our citizens. The selections were appropriate,
and in our opinion the best that have yet been
presented to the public by the oblighig president of
the Haydn Association. But to particularize:
The duett "Moonlight's Fairy Hour" was
sung in good taste by excellent voices, and re
ceived with deserved applause.
• The song " Bachelor's Ball" was received with
much applause, and the audience testified its ap.
probation of it by requiring its repetition. Culli
vsto your voice, little one.
The doett 0 Come with thy lute to the'Foun-
Min" was given with good effect. Ono of these
ladies possesses a voice of singular sweetness,
though not of much power.
'he " Cuckoo Solo," ductt "Mrs. Jones," and
" Miller's Maid," were done in good style, as we
expected they would be, from the known musical
talent of the performers.' ,
" Worry Pekooliae' was peculiarly happy. The
professor is entitled to our thanks. With • little
mons self.possention, the song would have been ins
imitable. 4are is another goad yoke sadly neg•

writers of the country.
The Second Vol tve commences with the
January iVumber, 1848
T the conclusion of the first half-year of the
0.41—; UNtost M AOAZI sr, the Publisher feels int.
polled to make some acknowledgment of his sense
of the favorable reception accorded to it by the pub
lic. Its success has certainly been unprecedented ;
and while it may be pardonable to ascribe this in
part to the merits of the work, it must not be de.
nied that public goodwill and and kindnes shave
been abundantly demonstrated. The press. in all
parts of the country, has given its voice liberally
and heartily to the new aspirant.
To flag after this would be dishonorable indeed.
It is the hope of the publisher thatthe courage and
enterprise which belong to limes, will be found
rather to have stimulated than slackened his oxen
tions. If there be talent of a suitable kind in the
country, he is determined to make it available to
the Union Magazine in the various departments.
He will continue to give superior engravings in
Mezzotint, Line and Wood, by If. S. Said, Thom
as Doney, Mr. Osborne, Robert llinshelwood, W.
8. Barnard, B. P. Chihli], P. Loomis, &c., from
orginal designs by T. 11. Matteson, who has the
sole direction of all the designs for the Engravings.
The Literary flatter will continue to be under
the etclusive control of the Editor, Mrs. C. M.
Kirkland, assisted by a corps of contributors who
arc either established favorites of the reading pub
lic or worthy to become so. Such as
L M Child, Mrs I. II Sie:ourney, Mrs F
S Osgood, Mrs Embury, Mrs Ellet, Mrs Butler,
Mrs Dana, Miss ::: , edgwick, Miss Gould, Miss
Herbert, Bryant, Willis. Hoffman, Arthur, Her
bert, 'luckerman, Sims. Dewey, Bourne, Moneta,
Woodworth, Lanman, &c. Ac.
The paper will be of the same quality non• u
sed. The Fashions will be colored by T. I'.
Spearing. There will be two pages of original
Music in each number.
In the course of as many months will be given
fac-similies of the characters used in writing 14
different languages, with a short translation into
English. similar to the Chinese and Persian odes
in the December number of the Magazine, by Ca
leb Lyon. U 8 Consul to Shanghai, China,
which, to the curious and intelligent, will be
worth at least n year's subscription to the Maga
zine. And escry exertion will be made, which
literary ability, ingenuity of Artist., and adequa te
capital can do, to make the Delon Magazine nor
thy of the place already so generously granted it
in the public esteem.
