Then he turned round and put the door
to and begun to speak in d little lower tone.
"Major," says he "that Intelligencer is
a capital paper, a great paper ; it, deserves
to be encouraged. I take a warm interest
in the prosperity of that paper, and mean
to do something for it. I'll be the making
ofit yet, when I get to the rank and aims.;

"Well, yes," says I, "I was thinking of
sending some little outline (tilt ; so the folks
at home in the United S&des might under.
stand the substance of it as far as it has
got along."
Then he took a written paper out (Whits
pocket. and, says he, "Major, here is al
clear account of the proceedings as far as,
they have gone, all carefully drawn up,
and putting every thing in a true light. I
should like to have you take this and send
it ott to the Intelligencer, and have it insert
ed as coming from au authentic source; or
if you choose, you can work it in and
make it a part of your letter, and then no
' body will doubt but what it comes from
an authentic source. I should rather, on
the whole, that you would work it into your
letter; .that would be the best shape to put
it in. and would be next thing to an official
report."
After I took it and looked a while , over .
some parts of it, says I, "Gineral, it seems
to me it is most too soon to send on such_
a particular account as this, tar fear of m.
king,some mistakes. It must-take some
time to pick the matters all up and put
them together in the right shape, so as to
give'every one his fair share. I thought
I would send on now the main points of I
it, and send on the particulars when we've
had a chance to pick em all up and put em
together right."
"But, Major," says he, "I'm very ans.-
ions this account should go off with the
first impressions. You know a great deal
depends on first impressions ; therefore,
no. time should be lost in getting this before
the public, and the best way to do it is to

"Well,"
says I, “Giueral, seein you are

vices from Mexico to the Slat ult. f and
from Tampico to the 2d inst. It was the
impression at the Capitol that the Mexican
Cowould shortly assemble and that
the Trea tywith this country would be im
- meduitely ratified. Santa Anna has ob
tained a, psseport from the American com
mandant at Orizaba, and was about leaving
the country for Jamaica. Gen. Valencia,
who 'commanded the Mexican troops at
Contreras, and upon whom, it will be re
coketed. Santa Anna throws the responsi
bility of all his reverses -in the defence of
the city of Mexico, died of apoplexy on the
25th ult. The Court of . Inquiry was still
in session, having before it the case of . Gen.
Pillow. The entire civil administration
of the city of Vera Cruz, with the archives,
funds, courts, poatolfice, &c., was to be
surrendered to the Mexican authorities on
the 29th ult., in accordance with the terms
of armistice entered into by Gan. Butler.
Great dissatisfaction was manifested by the
American citizens at this arrangement, and
the policy and propriety of the movement
loudly condemned. •
GE:ream. Pitiow.—Whatever may be
said of this gendoman's valor, no one will
hereafter attempt to vindicate his veracity.
It will be remembered that a few weeks
since he addressed a letter to a friend in
New Orleans, in which be declared, in
the most positive- terms, that he neither
wrote nor interlined, nor had any thing to
do with the famous "Leonidas" letter—
and there appeared in the papers at the
same. Llama letter from .Major A. W. Burns,
(who we - presume is one - of the toadies in
the army, who are always ready to say or
to swear to any thing which will tickle
the ears of , power,) avowing himself its
author, awl exonerating Gen. Pillow from
all participation in that Munchausen pro-.
duction. It now appears, •from the evi
dence, before the Court of Inquiry, of Mr.
Freaner, (better known as "illustang," the
correspondent of the New Orleans Delta,)
that the unsealed ntanueript of a letter, sub
stantially the same as that signed "I;oni
du," with interlineations in Pillow's own
hand-writing, and addressed to the Delta,
was handed to him, to be forwarded to the
Delta for publication, by Pillow himself,
who stated to him that be "wished it sent
off, so os to give the first impressions I"
He afterwards wished to withdraw the doc
ument from Freaner, who refused to part
with it !
And this is Mr. Polk's pet—the valiant
and renowned General whom he released
from the arrest under which he had been
placed by Scott, while at the same time he
suspended Scott himself Sim the command

FROM MEXICO
All civil authority has been turned over
to the Mexicans in the cities of , -Mexteo,
Vera Cruz, and Tampico, pursuant to the
provisions of the armistice.
The conviction had become stronger, at
our latest dates from Mexico, that l the Mex
ican Congress would assemble before the
end of March, and that they would ratify
the treaty. On the 21st or 22d ultimo se
ven Deputies or Senators left the city ot .
Mexico for Queretaro to take their seats.
The information from Queretaro is direct,
and it is most favorable to the cause of
peace. It seems to have been pretty well
understood in the city of Memo bow far
our Senate would modify the treaty. and j
there the opinion prevails that these mod-
ificatiuns would not prevent its prompt rat
ification. The "American Star" otyr 22d
ultimo, without expressing any opinion as
to the raddiation, is confident a quorum
would soon be harm Queretaro—that "the
treaty will not be sooner there than the
necessary number of members." • The
Deputies from Oaxaca left for Queretaro
on the 6th ultimo.
Gen. Scott desiged to leave Mexico for
the United States immediately upon she
adjournment of the Court of Inquiry. This,
it was thought, would take place as early
as the 25th ultimo, and we learn that a
had actualy been detailed to escort
en. Scow to Vera Crus. One gentle
man with whom we have conversed is san•
guine that ,the General is now upon the

open scroU,on which id inscribed the words
"Mexica Capt." The grip is octagon
shaped; the alternate sides of which are
gold and pearl, elegantly engraved and geld
studded. The guard is formed by a hea
vy gold chain. The shield and cross-piece
is grade of gold, in a style altogether new
and unique. In the centre appears the ea
gle of Mexico, biting a serpent, surmount
ed by a brilliant cairugorio stone. The
scabbard is made of gilt or silver metal, or
namented with solid gold mountings and
richly chased designs.' In the centre is
engraved these words: "Presented by the
people of the State of Louisiana to Gener
al W infield Scott, for his gallantry and gen
eralship, exhibited at the siege of Vera
Cruz, in the battles of Cerro Gordo, Con
treras, Churnbusco, Molino del Rey, Cita
pultepee, and at his final entry into the city
of Mexico."
THE CHESTER BANK ROEBERY.--We
learn from the Bulletin that on Sunday last,
Mr. Mears, Cashier of the Delaware Coun
ty Bank, of this State; received a letter post
marked Matamuras, stating that two men
had been arrested in that town who were
supposed to be concerned in robbery of Dr.
Darlington. One of the persons arrested,
it appears, engaged another to purchase
mules, and the payments of the same were
made exclusively in Chester County Bank
money, which excited suspicion, and ulti
mately led to the arrest of both. The let
ter also states that forty thousand dollars of
the money can be secured, and that the
prisoners await the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
NON - INTERVENTION.- W e arc glad to
see universal sympathy for the oppressed
countries of Europe, throughout the Union.
Warm hearts and applauding hands--good
counsel, the result of good example—pro
visions when there is scarcity—relief for
the suffering poor of Europe, but no entan
gling alliance—no national participation in
the revolutions of other countries.
Whatever may occur in Europe, we
should remain undisturbed by passing e
vents,and keep ourselves aloof from all con
troversies. We may rejoice at seeing new
republics arise, but we must not forget that
we are engaged in the experiment of self
government ourselves ; and that wisdom
and prudence are necessary to our success.
IMPORTS OP BAR IRON.—On the 3d inst.,
the arrival of bar iron in New York from
Liverpool, England, were twenty thousand
four hundred and eighty-eight bars, and
three hundred andfifty tons ofpig iron.
This will keep "an equal amount of Amer
ican iron out of market. Or it will keep
our iron in the gronnd, and take our mou
sy out of the cbintry. Oh ! the beauties
of the Polk Tarit—it passes foreign man
ufactures into our country, and pokes our
money out !
A flown SlOUT.—Under this caption
the Piketon (O.) Journal gives the partic
ulars of another victim of intemperance,
John Banthatn, an Englishman, about fif
ty years of age, who in returning from a
tavern where he had been on a spree, be
came bewildered and was lost in the woods.
Search was made for him repeatedly, but
he was not discovered until the 19th after
ho was missed. Three bottles were found
on his person. The mice had eaten out
both of his eyes and one of his cheeks.
Kstrzumtz.-r-The• Loeofocos of Ken
tuatiliVe at length found a candidate for
Governor ' in the pirson of Lazarus W.
Powell. The Louisville Journal says that
the same Mr. Powell was in 1844 the Lo
cofoco candidate for election in his,district.
In the course of his labors, he went to
Litchfield- in Grayson county 4 and made
a speech. In that speech he, indulged so
freely in hard swearing, that the grand
jury indicted him for profanity, and he
was actually conoickd and
,fined.
THE DEATH or JAMES
announced, some days since, the sad death
of the Hon. James Erwin, Jr.. a grandson
oldie Hon. Henry Clay, at New Orleans,
which was supposed to have been suicide.
A letter, however, from New Orleans to
his relatives in Lexington, Ky., states that
there is no doubt it resulted entirely from
accident, as he had just retired to his room
in excellent health and spirits, and from
the position in which he was found, it was
evident that he was in the act of placing a
pistol under his pillow when the acciden
tal explosion took place.

THE COURT.—We have bat little to report
in regard to the doings of the Court during the

panelled, and that in the Quarter Sessions to try
the carrof the Commonwealth vs. sundry persons
for breach of the peace in disturbing a Singing
School in Franklin township. The jury acquitted
the defendants, and ordered the county to pay the
Costs—some $63.00
All the applications for Tavern License were

Lion on the latter was deferred until the Orphans'

on the part of a number of citizens of the borough.
Court adjourned yesterday morning.
rirTbe Card of i4SZT CLar to the Public,"
defining his position in reference to the Presidency,
will be found in today's paper. It will be seen
that he - announces himself a candidate for the
Presidency, subject to the decision of the Na*mal
Convention, urges his claims to a nomination, and
indirectly solicits the suffrages of the Whigs of the
Union. We shall say nothing of the bad-taste of
all this, further than that, for the sake of the great
statesman himself, we could wish that the Card
had never readelts appearance.
Of course, the appeal of Mr. CLAY will be warm
ly responded to by a large portion of the Whig
party, who, by some singular fatuity, have long
since come to the conclusion that there is but one
man in the Union worthy of the confidence of the
Whig party, or sufficiently capable to administer
the. National Government upon Whig principles,
and magnanimously determined that defeat would
be preferable with him as our leader, than victory
under any other. Whether that response will be
sufficiently general to give Mr. CLAY the desired
nomination, remains to be seen. The Whig party
has it within its power to redeem the National Gov
ernment from Locofoeo misrule, at the next election ;
and it is to be hoped that no blind infatuation will in
fluence it to hazard this power, by refusing to ac
cept the servicez of leaders possessing all the ele
ments of availability, for others whose name.
have uniformly been associated with disastrous de.
feat.
rrli is proposed by Mr. Born and the Phil
adelphia Whigs, in order to carry Pennsylvania,
and secure the election of the Whig Presidential
ticket, to back Mr. Cray by running Gen. Scorn
for the Vice Presidency. If Gen. &err'. name
can accomplish so much in the way of strengthen
ing the Whig cause, why not nominate him for
the Presidency at once 1 Ifßasar CLAY has not
the requisite elements of "aectilebility" in his own
name, why insist upon his nomination

BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING.— Tbe
Boston Traveller mentions the cue of a druggist
in that city, who has oflate years boon induced to
advertise, duds his businer and profits quadruple;
last year his profits were twenty-five thousand
dollars. If business men would pursue their buss.
nee prpfitably, remarks the Baltimore Republican,
no matter what it be, they must advertise—their
sign must appear in the newspaper. This is the
way, the easiest, cheapest and best way to make it
known. Every one should advertise—not simply
once or twice a year, but constantly, BY6tematical"
ly, and thoroughly; should continually be spread,
ing before the eager gaze and enquiring eye of the

IMPORTANT LAW.—The bill to secure to
married women the right to their own property,
passed both Houses of the Leghlsture, before Its
iktioarnment The annexed extracts from this
important law will give an idea of its provisions :
"Be it enacted, arc. That every rpecies
skid description of property, whether con.
slating of reil, personal, or mixed, which'
may be owned by, or belong to, any single
woman, shall continue to be the property
of such woman as fully after her marriage
as before, and all such property, of what
ever
name or kind, which shall accrue to
any marriad women during coverture by.
will, descent, deed of conveyance, or oth
erwise, shall be 'owned, used and enjoyed
by such married woman as her own sepa
rate' propertysaid property,
whether owned by her before marriage, or
which shall micros to her aftswards, shall
not be subject to levy and execution for
the debts or liabilities of her husband, nor
shall such property be sold, conveyed,
mortgaged, transferred, or in any manner
encumbered by her husband without her
consent first had and obtained, and duly
acknowledged before one of the Judges of
the Courts of Common Pleas of this Com
monwealth, that such consent mu' not the
result of coercion on the part of her said
husband, but that the same was given vol
untarily and of her own free
"That any married woman may dispose
by her last wilt and testament of her sepa
rate property, real, personal or - mixed,
whether the same accrues to her before or
during cove:tura. • Provided, that-said las
will and testament be executed in the pre ,
Bence of two or more witnesses, neither &
whom shall be her husband."
The feinalnhig sections provide for the recovery
of debt, and the descent of property under the
new lawn.
COMMON * SCHOOL BYSTEAL—The
lowing important section was incorponted into the
General Appropriation Bill, passed at the late ties.
lion of the Legislature. The Mend* of the system
MOtricts which have hot as yet accepted of it,
will do well to attend to the matte:
That the Common School System, from
-and after the passage of this act, shall be
deemed held and taken to be adopted by
the several school districts in this Com
monwealth, and that the school directors
of the respective school districts from which
the undrawn school appropriations were
taken by the act of the 29th of April, 1844,
entitled, "An Act to reduce the State debt,
and to incorporate the Pennsylvania Canal
and Railroad Company,'; shall, during the
mouth of May of the present year, levy
and assess a tax as required by existing
laws to enable school districts to receive
their portion of the State appropriation,
and each of said school districts in which
a tax shall be so levied and assessed as
aforesaid, shall thereupon receive its por
tion of the aforesaid appropriation of $2OO
- and shall be entitled to a deduction of
twenty-five per cent. of all moneys paid
into the county treasury by such district
for State purposes during the two next en
suing school years, which money so de
ducted, shall be paid to the Board of School
Directors of such schoolslietrieti-and shall
be exclusively appropriated to the erection
of school houses in such school district.
laThe Legislature of 1847, by the passage of
the law prohibiting state officers from rendering
"aid and comfort" to slave masters, when in pur
suit of fugitives, has contributed not i little to the
cause of freedom, indirectly. A late York Pa.
Advocate mentions a rather amusing instance
where that law contributed almost directly to se
cure the freedom of several slaves—and in a way
which those who prised the law never dreamed
of. The Advocate says;
"Several runaway slaves passed through York,
last week, on their way to the "promised land."—
Their owner was in town full ten hours before they
arrived, and several were on the look-out, yet they
escaped. We understand that their Master could
have spoken to them at one time, had he been on
the street in.strod disrusring the cooshhaionahty
of Me law of 1847."

The Philadelphia Ledger, true to id Loco

shares the government favors. No paper ditcher

declined himself a ranting, radical Luepke°, he

reckless,unprincipled and diationastas he is brave
and datiu • &.hr_eapocialiy infamous. All hats, and
all he aver has been, he owes to the generosity end
friendship of Gen. Scott. When he was a mis•
arable adventurer, destitute of oven means of sub
sistence, Gen. Scott took him under his protection,
honored him with his confidence, and procured
his promotion in 'the army. But all these servi.
ces have been rewarded with black ingratitude, by
Werth. lie is now found the basest tool of the
President in the attempt to ruin Scott. Like most
men of mean minds, the sense of obligation he
feels under to his benefactor is galling, to him, and
he is determined to•obliterato it by becoming the
slanderer and vilifier of the man to whom he owes
so much. Ho has found a master whom ho thinks
can render him greater service than Scott is now
able to do, and he is determined to earn his favor
by the most abject submission to his wishes. We
do not envy the disgraceful position to which ho
has lowered himself,--Jabont Journal.
TYRANNY AT HOME AND ABROAD.—
When Louis Phi Hippo received from the hands
of the French people the crown of France, he took
a solemn oath to govern according to the charter.
He violated that oath, and as driven from France.
When James K. Polk was inaugurated President
or the United States, his oath was to maintain the
COMltitution. How has he kept his oath, 14i
the records of the United States answer the ques.
tion. They have declared by a solemn vote, that
be hu brought upon the country an unconstitu
tional and unnecessary war. Now where is the
difference between these forsworn rulers I—none
at all. The ballot box must vindicate the Consti
tution from the high-handed wrong inflicted upon
it by the President. It is the only and proper rem
edy In a republican minty. Without it, reiolu
don- would ensile. Mr. hairsbn laid, that once
in twenty years, the encroachments of rulers ren
dered revelation requisite to preserve the liberty
of the people. In Ibis country, we are spared the
unhappy scones and conselnencas, which attend
revolutionary movements. The. people have the
remedy in their Diva lianas, and the Ides of ltir
vember will demonstrate that not only de they
know their rights, but knowing, dare maintain
them. The history of this administration is the
history of Executive usurpations and encroach
ments. Under the aurae of Democracy, the most
villainous wrongs are perpetrated, and the Presi
dent has become the dictator, kurtead of the servant,
of the people. He wields a power as immense as
any monarch in Europe, except, perhaps, Niche

EXCITEMENT AT WASIIINaTON.—
The excitement at Washington City, in conse
quence of the recent wholesale elopement of slaves,
still continues. On Wednesday night a crowd of
some 3,000 persons assembled in front of the Pa
tent Office, and appointed a Committee of 35 to
wait on the Proprietors of the National Era. an
ably conducted Anti-Slavery paper, and request
them to remove their paper from the city—in case
of a refusal the Committee to do it themselves.
This Coalmine, after retiring • slihrt time, re
reported that the Editors of the Era peremptorily
declined acceeding to the demands of the mob. This
announcement caused a general rush of the crowd
towards the Era office ; an attack was immediate
ly commenced on it with atones, but the marshal
of the District Interkring, aaeisted by a large num
ber of citizens, the crowd withdrew. A resolution
was then adopted by them, directing the Commit
tee of 35 to proceed, at 10 o'clock next day, to re
move the materials of the Era office.

Truth is mighty and will prevail.
Athens, August 24, 1840.
Mr. A. Alexander--Dear - Sir: Having
been afflicted for more than ten months
with Chronic Inflamation of the Lungs—
at times very severely—and having adopt
ed many medicines without any but tem
porary relief—l purchased about three bot
tles of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
from the effects of which I obtained more
relief than from all the medicines 1 had
ever taken for that distressing disorder. I
have by the repeated use of this valuable
Balsam been more free from pressure for
breath and oppression on the lungs than I
had anticipated—and, indeed, conceive
that I will be cured by continuing its use,
of this most disheartening malady. I do
most cheerfully tender you this acknow
ledgement, which you will use as your
judgement dictates.

H. U. & Co., in thus prexenting
•. themselves' to the notice of resi
dents eta distance, &reticulated by .a desire
of attracting attention'to the Hate of their
manufacture, se a mane of increasing their
cash sales. The smallness of their pro,-,
fits, owing to the falai that their goods are
much more costly sod expensivb while
their prices are not higher than the ordi
nary prices of the trade market, makes it'
imperative that they decline the risks in
cidental to ti credit business. Were they
to follow in the "beaten track," aiming
merely at a reduction in prices, a corres
ponding deterioration both in quality and
workmanship ensuing as a matter of cou roe,
there would then be no urgent reason for
adopting terms strictly cash Their course
is apposite to this.
Excelsior is the motto whioh they have
assumed, by it they are constrained to ad
vance still higher in the production of
rich and costly goods. The great encour
agement they have met with in their busi
ness—the decided preference given to their
Hats,both by the fashionable and fastidious,
as well as by the strict economist, and oth
ers of plainer taste, has confirmed them in
their determination of producing the very
best goods in their line of trade. on this
continent.
Wm. H.lf. & Co. would here take oc
casioa tasay that they are indebted for the
1 1 reputation of their house, and for the cc
' lebrity of their Hats, to no equivocal deal
ings nor fictitious representatione. The
principle in business has always been to
give to the purchaser a greater proportion
of value for relit% than could possibly be
obtained elsewhere at the um* prices.-..
They have expended vast sums of money
' in perfecting their business, in securing the
best talent among workmen, in the erection
and application of machinery, and in hay
ing prepared for their especial use the
richest pinches and trimmings of Paris.
By the" means alone they have presented
to the PIAUI, a perfection in the fabric of
Hate, and to the trade, models in Fashion.
Wm. H. B. & Co. would state that their
prices at retail are standard at $4 and $5.
"'heir wholesale prices are such as to ena
ble dealers to realize a fair profit, and to
carry home to their customers, if they feel
disposed, Hate riot gotten up expressly
for th - Ftountry trade, but Hata which are
justly considered by those familiar with
the manufacture of W. H. B. & Co. as
the ne plus ultra of gentilityrtaste and ex
quisite workmanship, the same identically
with' those supplied to gentlemen at their
establisuments in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston.
- - The regular—periods of-issuing _ their
Spring and Fall Fashions are the first Sat
