Resulted, That the Congress of the United State,
have by their act declared that a state of war does

ico. We therefore, in obedieace to the patriotic
proclamation of the Governor, hold ouraelves in
readiness to assist and defend the honor of our
country when called upon; for -bras cry and fideli
ty'. will ever to rewarded by the American people.
Let us be inspired by one common sentiment:—the
welfare and perpetuity of the country and its in- 1
stitutions.
Resolved, That we consider it the duty of every
man, capable of belsing arms whether ofenin ,,
property or not, native or ;doped to be ready and '
willing to protect the flag of the union, and we
trust that will not Le any resignations in this reg
iment, either from fear or on accOuntof peculiarity
of family connections. We consider that all
true Americans are bound to stand or fall for the
good of our country. Let every American con
sider thaton him and on et cry one depends the glo

E LATE GALLANT MAJOR RINGGOED
CAMP
•
Near the mouth of the Rio Bravo Del Norte,
9th May, 18-IG,
The numerous friends of Major liinggold will
doubtle'; be anxious to know the particulars atten
ding his melancholly end, and I hasten to give them
to you. The engagement of the Nth was entirety
hi the hands of the artillery, and Major.R. took a
inost active and important part in it. About 6
Clock he was struck by a six-pound shot. He was
mounted, and the shot struck him at right angles.
hitting him in the right thigh, passing through
the holsters and upper part of the shoulders of his
horse, and then striking the lest thigh, in the same
line in which it first struck him. On the evening
of the 9th he reahed this camp under charge of Dr
Byrne of the army. He was immediately placed
in comfortable quarters, and his wounds dressed.—
An immense mass of muscles and intogmnents
were carried away from both 'thighs. The arteries
were not' neither were the bones broken.
L reinahied with him all night. lie had but little
pain, and at intervals had some sleep. On Messing
hid wounds in the morning, they presented a most
unfavorable aspect, and there was but little re-ac
tion.
During the night be gave me many incidents of
the battle, and spoke with much pride of the exe.
cution of his shut. 1/c directed his shot not only to
groups and masses of the enemy, but to particularl
men in their line; he saw them fall, their places uc
cupied by others, who in their turn were shot
down, pointing his guns to the same place and he
felt as confident of hitting his mark as though he's
had been using a rifle. He had but ono thing to
regret, and that was the small number of men in'
his company. He said that he had made use M'
all his exertions to have his company increased to
100 men, but without success. From the small
number of his men, as they were disabled at their
guns, be was without others to take their places.,
During the day-le continued to lose strength, but I
was free from, pain add cheerful. Ile spulcl
constantly of the efficiency- of his guns, and the i
brave conduct of his officers and men.
He continued'to grow worse, and a medical offi
cer remained constantly by his side. 1)r. Byrne
remained with him during the night, using mery
means which could be devised to save his valuable,
life, but without effect. lie continued to grow
worse until 1 o'clock last night, when he expired,
He survived his wounds 60 hours; during all this
time he had but little pain --conversed cheerfully.
and made all his arrangements for his approaching
end with the greatest composure and resignation,
He will be buried to-day, at 3 o'clock, P:M., la
mented by the Whole camp. The wounded ale,
generally, doing very wen.
I am your obedient servant,

The Sirs--
lie Sixteen Whigs in Congress, who refused to
vote supplies to our army, alter the blood of Amer
icm citizens had really been shed on Anwri
lean soil, are known by there names: senators
Thomas einVon, of Delaware, and John Davis of
Massachusetts; Representatives, Strohm, of Pennsyl
v nia, (!!) Severance of Maine, Cranston, of Rhode
Island, as/unitn, of Vermont, .ddams, Hudson and
King, of Massachusetts, Tilden, Root, Delano,
Vance and Giddings, of Ohio, Culver, of New York.
Two days before these men voted to leave their
countrymen unprOteeted when almost in the hands
of a cruel foe, the little army that they sneered at
as weak—that they pitied as sacrificed—that they
denounced as invaders of Mexican soil—although
but eighteen hundred strong, met seven thousand
sangune Mexicans and de'eated them with terrible
loss.. The coincidence is rather striking, and
and though it may not be quite pleasant to the
sixteen gentlemen re:erred to, it will be long re
membered by the people.—Pennsylraman.
tearful Engine of Destruction.--We witnessed,
on Saturday aiternonn, at the Arsenal yard, in this
city, a few experiments with a new and very effec
tive weapon of attack or defence, invented by
Messrs. Reynolds & Bro's, of Kinderhook. It is
called a Projecting Engine and the rapidity and
precision with which the balls were propelled
seemed almost beyond comprehension. The expe
rimental model was fitted to throw a leaden mis
sle of I j ounces, and was capable, with the exer
tions of two men at a crank, to drive the balls
through a 2 in. plank at the distance of lOU yards.
The projectile force is obtained by the centrifugal
tendency of the ball to fly off from a horizontal
wheel, while revolving at a very high velocity, and
the engine seems to be perfectly manageable, de
livering its fatal messenger at any point of the
compass, desired, and at the rate of twenty-sir balls
per second! If the sanguine expectations Of the
l inventors : should prove correct, their fearful engine
iof destruetion will doubtless be of great service to
the. Government in the proseeution of any war,
present or prospective; and we trust that its powers
will be fully tested by a competent commission.—
In the experiments of Saturday, the balls were driv
en with 'rnuelyforce against an iron target, at the
distance of some 'seventy yards, the limits of the
yard not permitting a Wider range. Many of them
were beaten figs and spread out to the size of a dol. ,
lar. The inventors state that the principle may he
applied to shot of aims:me, and
portionate Success...dm point ' - blatik range rif • the
engine tieing as great as that of al* arm bait

From the Pemayleanian:
SECRETARY BANCROFT.
To those not accustoMed to the violence and bit
terness of party presses in this country: it may ap
pear strange that so many eminent cirizene in the
public service are daily assailed, and grossly slan
dered; but a Moment's reflection and enquiry will
satisfy e‘ cry candid mind that this is the work of
disappointed partizan writers. who in a country
where the press is free, feel theniselves as unre
strained by law, as they are by truth and morality.'
The distinguished officer whose name heads this
article, has, since his elevation to the cabinet of Mr.
Polk, been most wantonly assailed by presses and
individuals, because he has strictly pursued the
path of duty, and endeavored, by his adminiatration
of the Navy Department, to rrform abuses, and pro
duce emnomy in the. Naval service of the U. S.
Eminent as a scholar and a politician, Mr. Ban
croft came into office, unsolicited on his part, as
the representative of the true Democratic princi
ples of the North. His devotion to these,princi
pies and the confidence reposed in him by his par
ty, pointed him out at once as the most prominent
and efficient man in New England to ;counsel a
President, and to participate in a cabinet which
came into power as did that of Mr. Polk. Gen.
Jackson, whose knowledge of men was as accu
rate as his motives were patriotic, very early re
gaoled Mr. Bancroft as a politician iin whom he
could place entire confidence, and honored him hot
only with his friendship, but made him the histo
rian and vindicator of his own career as a soldier
and a statesman.
Mr. Polk could not, therefore have better car
ried out the spirit of that Democracy which An
drew Jackson had founded and labored for, than IP
•,
tiling Bancroft to aid him in the administra•
Lion of the government--..an administration em.
phatically erntaklying all the leading measures,
and expressing-all the great principles of General
Jackson's public life and policy, Ifut it seems
that disappointed and unscrupulous thirst.for spoils
and plunder, finding Mr. Bancroft too independent
and pure to pander to their base appetites—or un
worthy office holders, who have obliged him, by
their incapacity, to banish them from office—hax'e
united to disparage and slander the eminent citi
' zen, and, if possible, to break him down in the
confidence and•esteem of the Democratic party.
His reports and public acts all speak out the
true and fearless purposes of a public officer who
'Means well by his conntry, and are such that their
fair and candid consideration must suffice to satis
fy all men
-that his views and. policy are at once
Denaticratic and sound and that the President could
not have a better. and more faithful adviser, or the
'people a firmtr,:friend, than liosto.s BA:venom--

rIIFIE Committee on wooden buildings, to whons
was referred the petition'of sundry citizens of
Pittsburgh, asking Councils to enquire into i dle
nature and quality of . . Backus,' Patent Roofs;
would submit the following rePort—. ';
That your Committee have carefully examined
nearly all of the roofs of the kind referred to
, in,
1 the ?'etition, put on in this city; These roofs, as
nearly as they hare been able to aseertain,larn,
constructed in the following meaner A sheathing
of hoards is first made, placed close together,dre
are covered with a coating of i Backus' comixisi-',
tion, three layers of oakum paper . are then placed'
on the sheathing, with a coating of composition
between each layer, and over these a thier -- ditating„
of the composition, on Nvhich gravel is placeil.—'
The gravel appears to be intended to render the
roofs tire prom; and the corupoSition and oakUm'
paper to render them water proof. The commit
tee have been unable to ascertain the nature of this
composition, its principal ingredients appear to!be
tar and pitch.
Your Committe are of opinibn, that from the
construction of there roofs, the m l otection from fire
afforded by them externally, is bbt of a very tent
porary nature, lasting only so lang as the gravel
remains, which from the nature of the.composition,
is very liable to wash off; and then a surfaCe is ex
posed composed of the most untlamhble materials,
—that on the most of the roofs they' haveexamin
ed the gravel has already been washed off to some ,
extent , that should a fire take place on the inside
of a building having one of these , it would be
t
almost impossible to extinguish it, fr-om the fact,
that as theloof became boated, th liquid - pitch and
tar, of which it is 'principally compoged, would
„ oots
carry a stream of fire through the building, on which
water would produce but little effect
Your Committee are _also of the opinion that it
would le very difficult to render them roofs water
proof—that they_ do not think the paper used in
making them, sufficiently strong to resist the con
slant expansion and contraction,orthe hoards on
which it is placed=t,hat these roofs would require
constant watching and repairing Ito render them
Me proof or water proof, and thtl in most,of the
buildings having these roofs, the.upper story is ren
dered unteuantable during the warm' weather, by the
constant dripping of the tar and Pitch.
Your Committee regard speculation or experi
ment as the principal object of these roofs, and
they feel bound to say that they cannot recommend
them to the public. 1
