The Flour Market has steadily declined

The effect of Mr. Walker's tariff was

made the country prosperous—an T some
time was required to make bad measures

ittpte a market for our grain which helped
'« tipy for the importations, and the demand
for. iron for the British Railroads kept up
the price of that article.

suOTT AND WoRTII
The New Gleans Delta has published
the correspondence of Generals Scott and
Worth, relatii c to thtiste difficulties in
the army, subsequent to the publication of
the Army Orders, censuring severely cer
tain letters written to the United States.
Gen. Worth, it seems, addressed a let
ter to Gen. Scott, stating that he learned
with astonishment that it was the opinion
of the Army that the imputation of sean-,
dalons conduct, mentioned in the general
Order, referred to him, and asking if such
were the intentions of the Cummander-in
Chief.
Gen. Scott replied that the Order clear
ly expressil that he meant to apply the
imputation to the author of the letter sign
ed "Leonidas."
Gen. Worth rejoined, arm) said he did
not consider the answer satisfactory. Gen.
Scott replied that he could not be more
explicit. Ile had nothing to do with the
suspicions of othersrand if
formation of the authorship. he would pros
ecute the parties before a Court Martial.
To this letter Gen. Worth made one of
those ill-natured replies into which men
arc sometimes betrayed, and enclosed char
ges against Gen. Scott, addressed to the
Secretary of War, which commenced as
follows:
a—From the arbitrary mil illegal eondart--
the 11101110 and gross injustice practiced by the gen
eral officer, Cominander-indThief of this Aruty—
Major General Winfield Scott--I appeal, as is my
right and privilege, to the Constitutional Cowman
dar-in-Ultief, the President of the U. titian".
I accuse Major General Winfield Scott of hie
ing acted in a manner unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman," dm.
After such an ebullition of passion against
one to whom Gen. Worth is more indebt
ed for his fame than to any other man liv
ing. he was very properly placed under ar
rest. The Delta states that in these pro
ceedings Gen. Scott is sustained by the
whole army.
GEN. tiCOTT AND THE ARMY.
"Mustang,"the correspondent of the New
Orleans Dela, in describing the departure
of General CADWAL•DER'S conimind to oc
cupy Toluca. says•.
"The brigade formed in the Grand Plaza
at an early hour, when there was an old
fashioned bidding •gOoilliY. retie - eye litie
to see soldiers bid one another *good by,'
—it is so warm, so enthusiastic, and so full
of the sincerity of • true friendship, and in
variably accompanied with the emphatic
and expressive sentiment *God bless you!'
•ty does it contrast with the
cold, unfeeling, hackneyed phrase of civi
lians at . home, "adieu, my dear friend."
As the column emerged from the Plaza and
marched b the quarters of Gen. Scott, who
hat in han d, exchanged 'salutation's as they
passed, the' air was filled with the spirit
stirring notes Of *Yenta. Dandle. The
rank and file entertain the most remittable
degree ofrenthueiufic feeling for the chief
who has directed them through so many
trying and perilous positions, and who has
conducted them to the topmost peak-of
ladder of fame. When they stand before
him, or pass by him, they appear to look
better, and assume the More correct char
acter oldie soldier than at any other time.
This, however, is one or thereat secrets
of the success which has attended our arms
in the war with Mexico. If the rank and
file had ever doubtea. or even entertained
the least wan; of confidence io the Officers
who led thein,' there is no judging what
would have been the result."

Washington letter says:
"The reception <4 Mr. Freaner, who
brought the treaty from Mexico to Wash
ington, at the I)epartment of State, has
caused a good deal of laughter at the capi
tol. Coming from Mexico in seventeen
days, he had but little time for his toilette,
and on his arrival sported a blue jacket and
pants, one leg of which was strapless,
while the want of suspenders displayed a
fold of check linen over the waistband, a
broad brimmed tarpaulin hat, with a face
aovered with ranchero-looking whiskers.
On his landing at the wharf he hastened
in a coach, (though the hackrnen were
rather shy of him.) to the residence of the
Secretary of State, where he was flatly
refused admission by the porter in wait
ing. However, he forced his way in, and
Mr. Buchanan was no less astonished than
his servant, to find the queer chap before
him, w horn he had at sight mistaken for
an old salt, the redoubtable Mustang, and
special ambassador of l)on Nicholas Trist."
DEATH FROM CHLOILOFORM.—The use
of Chloroform, as an agent for the relief of
pain, is attended with fatal consequences in
some instances. On Thursday week, in
Cincinnati, a Mrs. Seymunds went to a
dentist's office, for the purpose of having
sonic teeth extracted. Chloroform was
administered and the usual symptoms were
exhibited. After the extraction of two teeth
she began to sink, and every effort there
after to revive proved ineffectual, and she
finally fell into the arms of death.
CINCINNATI CHLORIFORM CASE. -.7
The Cincinnati papers of Saturday state
that a post mortem examination was made
in the ease of Mrs. Simmons, who died
while under the influence of chloriform.—
The system of the deceased was found , in
a healthy state, and showed no indica
tions of any disea4e that could have caused
her death. The Inquirer says :
"The committee, we understand, are sa
tisfied that her death was caused by the
administration of ehloriform. It was sup
posed it was given in too concentrated a
form, and that insensibility was thus caus
ed too rapidly. It was given by an inha
ler, (air-tight.) a sponge saturated with
elfloriform being first deposited within it.
We aro told that the usual and safest way
for its administration is by dropping it up
on a handkerchief, and then permittin g it
to be inhalled by the patient."

A NOTIIER - ONTRIIWTION TO n'IENCE.—
Messrs. Andrews & Bovl arc publishing.
in the Anglo-Saxon, a series of articles on
“Phonetics or the General Pronunciation
of all Languages." from the pen of Herr
Zabiliel Ilainitz, a distin g uished German
philologist, now on a visit to this coun
try. for Mauritz has devoted a number
of years to the investigation of this sub
ject, having resided in various countries
with a view to making the most extensive
observations upon all the phenomena of
human, speech, and • acquiring a practical
knowledge of the languages of Europe and
Asia.
This treatise. though bearing the indu
bitable marks of profound learning, such
as we here seldom had the pleasure of see
ing -exhibited in this conntry,is neverthe
less written in a style of extreme simplic
ity and adaptation to the common compre
hension, worthy of admiration, Judging
from those portions of the treatise which
we have been able' to !mite, we should
'say that this series of articles alcine would
be of tar more value to any reader interest
ed in the 'nerdy of his own language, or en
gaged in acquiring a foreign one, than the
yearly snbsetiption price or the Anglo flax
on.—N. P. Mbune.
FRON Vitnestrau.a.—Aceounts from
Puerto Cabello of the 10th February state
that political attain' are becoming serious.
and nothing less than a civil war is threat
ened. Monades. the President, has caused
himself to be nominated to the comma
of the Government troops. General ps
has pronounced against the government,
declaringhat he will not respect the acts
of Congress as long as it is under intimi
dation, and not a free agent. Both parties
are taking the field, and it is reported that
engagements have already taken place be
tween detached parties of the Government
forces and rases adherents, is which the
hitter were triumphant.
Tns DaLEME as Massuotost.—:-The del

The New York Tribune notices a lamb
which was seen in Washington market, in

on each side, and its color was white, with
one mouth. nose, &c. To attain the size it
had, it most have lived for some time.
A . Nsworeesa IN A FAIIILY.—One of
the greatest advantages of a newspaper to
a family of children, is, the constant stimu
lus which the radii and statements it con
tarns, give to the acquisition of historical,
scientific, and geographical knowledge.

Orleans we have dates from Vera Cruz to
the . 21 st ultimo. There is nothing later
from the city of Mexico.

choice of a member of the 30th Congress,

Wino PATRIOIIIIM.—H: says the Rich
mond Republican, we were asked for the
two names which, more than any others,
the Democratic party denounce as the head
and front of the Moral Trail ors and Mex
ican Whigs of this country, we should un
doubtedly mention Henry Clay and Daniel
IVebster. If we were asked what truth
there is in the charge. we should point to
two fresh graves in which the mouldering
bodies of Col. Henry Clay and Fletcher
Webster rebuke, even in death, the calum
niators of a patriotism that has laid its most
cherished idols upon their country's altar.
The lion. Edward Everett has accepted

SUSPENSION OF GEN. BCOTT.—Private
advice, from Wuhington, soya the Philaflelphia
News, inform us that a letter has been received
there, by a distinguished member of Congress,frem
Mimic?, bearing date the 111th ultimo,, which
statee'that the: new, of Gen. tikeet's suspension
hem eonund, and of his intended trial, had just.
mailed thilunly. The most intense treitement
prevailed, both in the Army and among the peo
ple. It may he regarded a, a Thrtunata amain
mance that this humiliating news did not reach
the city of Mexico until alter the conclusion of the
Treaty, the negotiation of which was undoubtedly
assisted by Gen. 80otee presence. A greed deal
of feeling continues to be manifested on thill sub
ject in ali parts of our own country, and among all
classes of our people. We make the following
extracts from an admirable article, in reference
thereto, which we find In the Savannah (Ga.) Re
publican. We are sure the noble sentiment here
expressed will find a hearty response in the hearts
of our readers:
It is one of the curiosities of this war tkat, upon

From the capture of Vera Grua to the.occupation
of the city of Mexico, that General's conduct has

exhibited a wonderful combination of discretion
and gallantry- ofwisdom in his plans, and fire in
the execution of them. • tvery 'incident of the

time required for a march, the force necessary for

place—the men that must fall, the ammunition to
be expeaded—were all foreseen, calculated, and
adjusted with a precision so accurate that the event
converted anticipation into history.

was executed with the spirit and dashing courage
which won his youthful epaulettes at Lundy's
Lane and Chippewa. He was ill provided with
all the monitions of war. 'rho opposing troops
were vastly the most numerous. The nature of
the country, and its artificial defences, presented
cverp species of obstacle and difliculty. Ills a :
chicvements seem to transcend history, and rise
into romance.
While he was in the agony of this great enter
prise, the Government traduced him and his little
army at home, by misrepresenting and Riaggerat
ing their strength, and at the very moment of their
miraculous irtnecas, while the country is absorbed
by wonder and admiration, the Government arrests
the General.
• • • The coldness that has grown up be
tween Gen. Worth and his old friend and com
mander, between whom them has been a romantic
association for so many years in the public mind,
and in iheir private relations. is an incident not
unworthy to be noted, even among the mournful
and the magnificent. events of the war. While
every one laments such an occurrence, the com
mander-in-chief may take consolation (a sad and
insufficient ono to him) that by the finding of a
competent board , of officers Gen. Worth was in the
wrong—end how little this was a consolation to
Gen. Scott is proved by the generous and touching
forbearance with which he circurnscrthed the pub
lication of this finding to the narrowest limit allow
ed by the law of minim Still it brought him in
collision with a man of influence and reputation,
it exposed him to m the evil interpretation of the
mlherenta, and to the prejudice of the admirers of
Gen. Worth.
Tim President, in spite of and against the de
cision of thi, court of inquiry, has promptly thrown
himself into the Worth fiction, ■nd with eager
dexterity avails himself of that general's heats and
partisans to strengthen himself in his attack upon
the commander-in-chief.
This is a dangerous condition of things for
Gen. Scott. It fulfils the only unaccomplished
prophecy in the opiate of soup" letter, which, but
for that loose phrase, was lull of forecast and wis
dom. All its suggestions were wise, all its pre
dictions have come true to the letter—down to the
bitter forboding that ho left behind him at home
an enemy more dangerous to him than any he
was to encounter in Mexico.
flow is he to pass tho ordeal with such fearful
odds against him, is a doubtful question. The
proceedings of the court may bo managed in such
a way as to poison the public mind against him,
during an artfully protracted trial, while the Ex
ecutive Preen and patronage aid in the nefarious
work, and then, when new events and new topics
. of interest occupy the country, be dropped, or•issue
in some puny censure or dull and unmarked ac
quittal.
Hut the glyry of the General cannot suffer any
thing beyond • temporary eclipse. His enemies
—those who administer his Covemment--may
tease and weary end annoy him, and while they
vex and sting him, enjoy the triumph of a petty
hatred, but be will have his station in history
He will be recorded to all time as an illustrious
commander, by the side of the most illustrious, as
fairly ranking in hie military renown by the side
of him to whom no man is to km compared but
with reverential deference. He will be recorded
au a gallant soldier, a win commander, a humane
and Christian gentleman, and men in altedimes
will inquire who was President when Scare con
quered Mexico.

I.OCOFOCO STATE CONVENTION.—
This body convened at Hanieburg, on Saturday
last, the 4th of March. Judge Fasiter, of
Schuylkill, presided. ill RAIL PM :1171111, of West
moreland county ie the nominee for Canal Com
missioner. On the Presidential question the vote
stood--Duchanan 84, Dallas 94, Cue 10, *Nan
Doren 5. MI accounta * Mpretentlhe Moceedings
of the Convention to have been charactered by
scenes of disorder, confitsion, and biftentesa of feel
ing that woad have done credit to the celebrated
Wolf and Muhlenburg Convention of 1835. The
Correspondent of the Daily News, in attempting
to describe the scenes of Monday, says:
"Confusion worse confounded reigns in
'Warsaw—the Court-house is a perfect
Babel! My poor pen shrinks from por
traying the scones which occurred this
morning in the Locofoco State Convention,
and at most I can only convey a faint idea
thereof to your readers.
They met at 10 o'clock pursuant to ad
journment. Since Saturday last, the em
bore have been fanned into a blaze, and
great bitterness of feeling has been indulg
ed in all the morning by the rival factions
into which the. Convention is divided.
The regular way of doing business has
been dispensed with, and nothing is heard
amid the clamors of fifty or a hundred voi
ces save .order," "order," •+put him out,"
"down with him," &c.
In consequence of the great confusion, the see
!ions of the Convention were protracted through.
oat daturday, Monday, and rirealay. _Mr. Nth
mot was 'present, and, with Rea Fraser, R.*:
Penniman, &o. battled right manfully with the
adherents of the groat Apostle of ancient Feder
alism. The %whammies., however, wore too
strong fur them, and the illustrious less was
declared the chosen leader of Pennsylvipia Loco
focoism.
This matter settled, next followed another sirug•
gle upon the mode of selecting Presidential Elec
tors and delegates to the National Convention—
the Buchanan men insisting upon the right of
appointing the entire number, and the opposition
maintaining the right of each Congressional dis
trict to choose fur itself. After the usual amount
of marwevering, discussion, and disorder, the ma
jority determined that no one should be appointed
an Elector, or go to the National Convention, who
would not pledge himself Wi writing to support Mr.
Buchanan ! It seems that the Convention had not
sufficient confidence in the integrity of its own deb
gates to depend upon the ordinary obligations!
lilessm. Win Bigler and David D, Wagner are
the Senatorial Eelectors, and Messrs. Wilson
Candless and John W. Forney the Senatorial del
egates. For this Congressional District, lion.
Daniel Sheffer is the Elector, and Robert J. Fish
er, Esq. the delegate to the National Convention.

from Gen. Taylor to his friend Col. Mitchell:
BATON %icor, LA., FER. 12, 1848.
MY DEAR Cor.os►:r.:—Your very kind
communication, and the accompanying
newspaper, have duly reached me.
In reply to the closing remarks of your
letter, I have no hesitation in stating, as I
have stated on former occasions, that I am
a Whig, though not an ultra one; and that
I have no desire to conceal this fact from
any portion of the people of the United
Slates. I deem it but candid, however, to
add, that if the Whig party desire, at the
next Presidential Election, to cast their
votes for me, they must do it on their own
respontibility, and without any pledge from
me.
Should I be elected to thatotlicel should
deem it to be my duty, and should most
certainly claim the right, to look to the
constitution and the high interest.s of our
common country, and not to the principles
of kparty, for my rules of action. ,
With my sincere thanks for your ex
pression of friendship, and my best wish
es for your success through life, I remain,
very truly, your friend and obedient iier
vane, Z. TAYLOR.

and unrivalled in its operation on the system
when laboring under disease. It should be ir, the
hands of every person who. by b •sinass. or gener
al course of life. isjoedisposed to the very many
aliments that render life a curse, instead ofa bless
ing. and so of en result in death.
FOR SCROFULA. Dr. Drakes Panacea is re
commended as a certain cure. Not one instance
of its failure lies ever occurred when freely used !
It cures the disease and at the same time imparts
vigor to the whole system. Scrofulous persons
can never pay too ninth attention to the' state of
their blood. Its purification should be their first
aim ; for perseverencu will accomplish a cure of
cern herditury disease.
FOR ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, Scurvy,
Scorbutic Affections. Tumors, White Swelling,
Erysipelas. Ulcers, Cancers, Running Sores. *Abe
and Hiles, Dr. Drakes Panacea cannot be too high
ly extolled ; it searches out the y'erry root of the
disease, and by removing it from a system,makes
cure certain and pemianert.
INDIGESTION.—No medicine perhaps has
ever been discovered which gives so much tone
to the. stomach arid causes the secretion of a
healthy gastric juice to decompose the food as Dr.
Drake's Panacea.
RIIEUEATISM.—Dr. Drake's Panacea is u
sed with the greatest success in Rheumatic Com
plaints, especially such as are chronic. It curs s
by driving out all impurities and foul humours
which have accumulated in the system, which
are the cies° of Rheumatism, Gout, and Swellings
of the joints. Other remedies sometimes eve
temporary relief; this entirely eradicate. the die•
ease from the system. even when the limbs and
bones are dreadfully swollen.
CONSUMPTION can be cured. Coughs, Ca
tarrh, Bronchitis, Spitting of Blood, Asthma, Dif
fieult or profuse Expectoration, Hectic Flush,
Night Sweats, Pain in the side, &c., bare been
cured, and can be with as much certainty as airy
other simple disease. A specific his long been
sought for but in vain until the discovery of Dr.
Drake's Panacea. It is mild and sate but certain
and efficacious in its operation, and cannot possi
bly injure the moat delicate constitution. We
would earnestly recommend those afflicted to give
it a trial—and we belive they will not have occa•
sion to regret it. The system is cleansed and
s•rengtheoed, the ulcer, ore the lungs are heated,
and the patients gradually regain their usual
health and strength. Read the following testimony:

ing the use of Dr. Drake's Panacea, I will say,
that although a perfect disbeliever in the existence
of a Panama, or cure for aU diseases, however val.
uable it may be in certain conditions of the Joys.
tom, still I have believed that a cure for Con
sumption would be discovered sooner or later. arid
curiosity led me to try your medicine in two very
inveterate cases. They were pronounced by the,
attending physicians to be PULMONANY consume-
TION, and atrandoned by them as i nrutable. this
of the persona had been undey the treatment of
several very able practitionerithrt a number of
yearn, and they said she had '•old fashioned Con
sumption combined with Srnyidu.'" and that she
might linger for sometime, but could not be per
manently relieved. In both cases the effect of the
Panacea has been most gratifying. Only lour or
five bottles were used by one of the persons belore
she began to improve rapidly. The other took
about ten. I will only add that familiar as I ant
with consumption by inheritance and by eaten.
sive observation as a study, and knowing also the
injurious effects in nine cases out of ten of tar,
bonnet, and other vegetable tonics, as well as
of many of the expectorants and /sedatives, I
should never have recommended tie use of Dr.
Drake's Panacea if I had not been acquainted
with the ingredients , . Shillice it tosay that these
are recommended by our most popular and scien
tific physicians, and in their present combined
state form probably the beat alterative that has
ever been made. The core is is accoidanee with
a theory of Consumption broached in France a
few years ago by one of her runt eminent Uri •
teas on medicine, and now established by facts
which admit of uo dispute. Very respectfully
yours, L. C. GUNN.

To U,e the language of another, "Dr. Drake's
Panacea is always salutary in its effects—never
injurious. It is not an Opiate—it is not ■n Ex
pectorant. It is not intended to lull the invalid
into a fatal security. It is a great remedy—a
grand healing and curative compound, the great
and only remedy which medical science and skill
has yet produced for the treatment of this hither
to unconquerable malady. And no person 'Mkt
ed with this dreadful disease, wilt be just to him
self and his friends if lie go down to the gm e
without testing its virtues. A single butt's. in
most eases. will produce a favorable change in
the condition of any patient, however low,"
TO THE LADlES.—Ladies of pale cnmplee•
inn and consumptive t.abitn, and such as are it..
Winded by those obstructions which females are
liable to. are restored by the use of a bottle or
two, to bloom and vigor. It is by tar the best
remedy ever discovered fur weakly children. and
such as have bad humors ; being pleasant, they
take it. It immediately restores the appetite,
strength and color.
Nothing can be more surprising than its invig
orating effects on the human frame. Persons all
weakness and lassitude before taking it. at twee
become robust and full of energy under its Mau ,
mice. It immediately counteract* the nervelt;s
ness of the female frame.

SARSAPARILLA.—This celebrated root, so
famous as a medicine for the cure of di
seases of the blood, rheumatism, &c., has
of late acquired additional repute by an im
portant discovery made in its preparation
by the well known house of A. B. fiends
& Co. of the city of New York, who hare
invented an apparatus for the purpose of
thoroughly extracting the virtues of the
plant. The inventors say of this ma
chine, in connection with the preparation
they produce by it, that the whole disco
very is the result of year, devoted to
chemical experiments in testing various
modes of preparation, enabling them to con
centrate in the most efficient form all the
medical value of the true Sarsaparilla ; and
they have at last accomplished tide most
desirable result by means of an entirely
new, ingenious. and costly apparatus.—
The process throughout is governed by
strictly chemical laws. so that the essential
principles, or the prineple on which the
restorative virtue of the Sarsaparilla 'de
pends, is entirely preserved.
