of old volunteers who may re-engage,
and the number of new troops that may
arrive fronithe Brazos in time, as also in
some deigree, upon the advance of Major
General Taylor. whether I shall find this
army in strength to leave thegarrisons and
to occupy the capital."
I may add that only about fifty
ink date old volunteers re-engaged under
the Provisions of the act of March 3d; '
that durremainder were discharged, May ,

Strillej. Gen. Taylor, much precious time,
Insight easily have taken this city in the
month of June, and at one fifth of the loss
stisteletedin.August and September. The
enemy availed himself of my forced delay
at Puebla, to collect, to treble, to organize
and discipline his forces, and, also, to erect
numerous and powerful defences with bat-
Mee. Nearly all these extraordinary pre
parations for our reception were made af
ter the middle of June. And it is known
that the news of the victory of Buena Vis
ta reached Washington in time to counter
feited •Cadwalader's orders for the Rio
Grande, before his departure from Newl
Wines. Two rifle companies, with him,
reseeited the countermand there, and joined
me early.
I know that I had the misfortune to give
*Renee to the department, by expressing
myself to the same eflect from Jalapa, :Mayl
Ins reporter that date I said:
.*The subject of that order (No. 135

Middle of a country which, though broken
in its power is not yet disposed to sue for
pesos; to provide for the return home of.
seven regiments, from this interior position,
at a lime when I find it quite difficult to
prOvide transportation and supplies for the
operating forces which remain—and all
this without any prospect of succor or re
intonniments, in, perhaps, the next seven
months—beyond some 300 army recruits
--present novelties utterly unknown to any
invading army before. With the addition
of ten or twelve thousand new levies, in ;
April or May—asked for, and until very i
rtieendy expected—or even with the addi- '
tic,* of two or three thousand new troops,
destined for this army, hut suddenly, by the
Orders of the War Department, diverted to !
the Rio Grande frontier, I might, notwith-'
standing the unavoidable discharge of the
old volunteers--seyen regiments and two
independent companies--advance with
oonfidence upon the enemy's capital. I
shill nevertheless advance : but whether
beyond Puebla, will depend oil interve
ning information and reflection. The gen
eral panic given to the enemy at Cerro;
Outdo still remaining, I think it probablel
that we shall go to Mexico; or, if the ene
my recover from that, we must renew the I
emieternation by another blow."
Thus, like Cortez, finding myself iso
lated 'end abandoned, and again, like him, I
ilwaysafraid that the next s hip or messenger
might recall or further cripple me, I resol
ved no longer to depend on Vera Cruz or
home, but to render my little army "a self
satitaining machine"—as I informed every .
bodY, including the head of the War De.
partment—and advanced to Puebla.
It was in reference to the foregoing sc.!
Anus causes of complaint. and others, to he
found in my reports at large—particularly
in respect to money for the disbursing staff
officers, clothing, and Mr. 'l'rist, commis-;
sinner; that I concluded my report from
Pitiably, June 4th, in these words:
"Considering the many cruel disappoint
meets and mortifications I have been made I
to feel since I left 'Washington, and the to-
tal want of support or sympathy on the,
part.of the War Department, which I have
so long experienced, I beg to be recalled
from this army the moment it may he safe
for say person to embark at Vera Cruz—
which, 1 suppose, will be early in Novem
ber. Probably all field operations will be I
over long before that time. '
Rut my next report (July 26th) from
Puebla; has, no doubt. in the end, been
deemed more unpardonable by the Depart
ment. In that paper, after speaking of the
nhappy change in my relations, both ofil
cis' and private, with Mr. Trial," 1 cumin.'

I must here specially remark that this re

of its date, (July 25) seems to have mix- ,
carried. Perceiving, about November 27
that it was not acknowledged by the De
partment, I caused a duplicate to be made,
signed it, and sent it off by the same con
veyance with my despatch No, ad, and
the charges against Brevet Major General
Worth, Major General Pillow, and Brevet
Lieut. Cul. Duncan, together with the ap-
peal, against me, of the former. All Lbw
are acknowledged by the Department in
the same letter. Jan. 13, that recalls me. .
It was that budget of papers that tam

general scramble for precedence, authority
and executive favors. The prononciar

above, and there was no other before {ha
Department) which had been previously
[July 12] acknowledged and rebukely de
dined. 2. The arrest of Brevet Major
General Worth, for writing to .the De
partment, "under the pretext and forts of
an appeal," an open !otter, to be sent through
me, in which I was grossly and falsely ae,.
cused of "malice" and "conduct unbecom
ing an officer and gentleman," in the.mat
ter of the general order No. 349, on the
subject of pulling letters, fur the newspa
pers at home.
On that second point, the letter from
the Department, of January 13, is more
than ingenious ; it is elabnrate, subtle and
profound—a professional dissertation, with
the rare merit of teaching principles until
now wholly unknown to military codes
and treatises, and of course to all mere sol
diers, however great their experience in
the field.
I have not in this place time to do more
than hint at the fatal consequences of the
novel doctrine in question. According to
the Department, any factious junior may,
at his pleasure, in the midst of the enemy
—using "the pretext and form of an ap»
peal" against his commander, insult and
outrage him to the grosseStextent—though
he be the General-in-Chief, and charged
with the conduct of the anst critical ope
rations ; and that commander may not ar
rest the incipient mutineer, until he shall
have first laid down his own authority,
and sumitted himself to a trial. or wait at
least, until a distant period of leisure for
a judicial examination of the appeal
And this is precisely the case under eon.;
sideration. The Department, in its eager
ness to condemn me, could out take time
to learn of the experienced, that the Gen
eral-in-Chief, who once submits to an out
rage, from a junior, must lay his account
to suffer the like from all the vicious un
der him—at least, down to a rank that may
be supposed without influence, in high
quarters, beyond the army. But this would
nut be the whole mischief to the public
service. Even the great mass of the spir
ited, intelligent and well affected, among
his brothers in arms, would soon reduce
such commander to utter imbecility, by
holding him in just scorn and contempt
for his recreancy to himself and country.
,Intl are diripline and efficiency of no a

But it was not my request of June 4,
nor report No. 30, (of July 25] so largely
quoted from above, nor yet the appeal of
one pronwtciudo that has at length brought
down upon me this visitation, so clearly
predicted. That appeal, no doubt, had its
nterits—considering it came from an erra
tic brother—a deserter from the other ex
treme—who having first made his peace
with the (rut faith, was bound to signalize
apostacy by acceptable denunciations of
one—from whom, up to Vera Cruz, he
had professed, (and not without cause,)
the highest obligations. It was there he
ktareed from we that I was doomed at
Washington, and straightway the apostate

that the refusal to vote for Dt.Ninixtota's propo

Adams county on the Presidential question had
been long entertained and frequently expressed,
and when, in the face of this fact and her acknow
ledged claim to the delegate this year, our friends
in York county instructed their Conferee., to sup
port no man but "an open and avowed friend of
Henry Clay," the inference was irresistable that it
was designed either to force a second concession,
or to suppress the voice of the district in the Nee
tional Convention. The• proposition of Dr. Nab
inger was by no means calculated either to con
tradict this inference or remove the difficulty.—
The preferences of the Whigs of Adams county
were well known to our Conferees, and taking for
granted that the representation as to the preferen
ces in York county were correct, there was no
probability that any different result would have
been arrived at. Believing this, and claiming the
delegate as a right, hey very properly insisted on
a choice being at once made by the Conferees.
We go for Gen. Scotr, believing him to be the
moat available candidate, in the field , and if the
National Convention place him in nomination,
the "Young Guard" will give a little tallest Preiii•
dentist vote ever cast in these parts. If, however,
the Convention, in its wisdon, see fit to ro-nomin
ata Mr. CLAY, Adams county will, u heretofore,'
do her duty, end faithfully discharge her obliga

YECATAN.—On Eatiirday lasi, the President

tan, with urgent solicitations to extend protection
to the white people of that unhappy country against
the war of extermination being waged against them
by the Indiana. The President “eubmite to the
witelorn of Congress to adopt inch measures is,
in their judgment, may be expedient to prevent
Yatatiot from becoming a cookery of any European
power, which, in no event, could be permitted
and at the' sa me time to rescue the white tact from
extermination or expulsion from the country."
The reception of the message gave rise to an an
imated debate in both Houses. In the Senate
Mr, Calhoun reviewed with much severity the
doctrine of political interference in the 'raking of
other govenamenta, avowed by the manage, and
thought it looked too much toward further "annex

CffEAP POSTACE.—Tbe singular delay of
Conroe' to reilkind to the general wish of the
country in • modification and_roductioss of the
rates Of postage on newspapers and letters, is be
ginning once more to stir up the P'rees in favor of
the poky. Why - this deley should hare occurred
is hard to say. That the propoeed reform W do.
aired by the people s has been abundantly eviden
ced. by the numerous .petitions that have been
poured in upon Congress, and by the unanimous
support Om to it by the Prom Why then, the
delayl At. the 'same secret lafinencei which
elfmtedl the pump of the law of last session, at
work now to prevent its repeal or modification ?
This is • matter which peculiarly concerns the
publishers of papers. Let them, then, speak out
and give their Representatives at Washington dig
thMtly to understand that it is expected of them to
urge upon Congress the pro Posed Reform in the
Postage lairs, and that at once.
We observe that the City publisher have been
moving in the matter, with the view of securing
Ow adoption of s law making the postage,on news
papers owe Gent for all distances. The object, .of
mule* is to place the lolls mammoth City. papers
on a footing with the Comely perm, and thus
enable the tumor more aneeessfully to compels

noes of the Deputmerit will not allow it free

postage within Ittl miles he to-enacted. 'Such a
lair is essential to the prosperity'of the country
f'ressi, and its absolutenecessity should be distinct
ly and promptly urged upon Congress.
THE NOMINATION.--The Reading •Jour.
nal, a Taylor paper, thinks that the nomination of
Gen. Smarr by the National COnvention, is be.
coming daily more probable. If that be the cue,
remarks the Journal, the success of the party at the
election is a matter of certainty. Scott is sure to
carry Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York to start
with ;—a very good beginning. Ho will have
every State GCB. Harrison carried, and the hired
builds of office holders will contend against him
in vain.
SCOTTF.4 RECEPTION.—The City Coun
cils of New Orleans, Mobile, and other southern
Cities, are making extensive arrangements for
Gen. Scow ' s reception on his return home. The
authorities of the Northern Cities aro also moving
in the mat te r, The Court of Inquiry, it was thought
would adjourn about the 20th of April, when the
great Chieftain would at once leave for the United
States. His reception will ho a glorious one—
worthy of the first General of the ago—worthy of
the people of the U. States.

(U N. TAYLOR .S LAST—The N. Orleans
Picayune publishes another letter from Gen. Tat.
Lon to Capt. J. S. ALL, sox, on the Presidency,
dated April 22, 1848, and designed to correct
mis-conceptions and mis-representations of his pa.
sition. He says that he has consented to the use
of his name as a candidate for the Presidency, and
having taken his position at the request of many
of his countrymen, he does not feel at liberty to
surrender that position, until his friends manifest
a with for him to retire from it. Having no pri.
vate purposes to subetrve, and having a distrust
of his fitness for the station to which it is proposed
to elevate him, he will be perfectly contentoif the
Amitrican people see flt to give their suffrages to
some worthier citizen.

not breast Whig,' and if clerk,' he "would not
be the mere President' aa party, but would en.
