FOSTEIt, OF BRADFORD COUNTY cc7For Latest Netts, see Postscript, on second page. o:7The proceedings of the Tilghman Society will appear to-morrow. cc,The editor' of the 'Gazette; continues Mr. HAmrroar's name at the heed of the Antimasonic and Whig ticket, as a candidate for Congress.— •The'dditor, we think; after having erased the name pf ThOmas Rocky, from the ticket became ;a ma son, will certainly not be co inconsistent as to call upon the honest Antimas.Mis of Allegheny coun. ty, to vote for Mr. Hampton, who is also a mason. The Sons of Temperanv—The Gazette. 11'e clip the following from the Gazette of yes. terday: ..Herels - a society bound to secresy with its pass wonis and signs, its various officers, having its ramifications twenty-three States, its . Subord inate. State, and Grand Divisions, boasting of be tween forty and fifty thousand members, with large sums at their control, ,with all the machinery ne cessary to accomplish any object,however unprin cipled. and selfish, which bad men who may be come members and leaders for that purpose, may devise. What man of refection and friend to his ountry,..will not say that such an institution is dam. gerous to liberty, religious and dog, and that its exis tents is a wrong and an injury to the uaitiatent+'. It:is really surprising that an order established for the express purpose of bettering the condition of men and reclaiming the intemperate and vicious, — should be thus violently and wickedly assailed.— Here we have an editor, the organ of a powerful party, attempting to show that the; order called .Sons of Temperance is "dangerous to liberty, re/igi ens and civil, and that its crisience is a wrong and an injury to all the unitiated." Why is this? It is %veil known that this institution has and ;is still doings great amount of good. Why this crusade against it? We have the pleasure of an intimate .acquaintance with many of its members, and we feellree to say for them that they would not for . one moment countenance or belong to an institu tion 'dangerous to liberty, religions and civil." If „ the editor of the Gazette desires by his frequent attacks upon "this new secret order" as he is pleas ed to call it, to prevent persons from becoming members, he should refute the arguments urged in its favor, and not rely alone upon bold assertions of his own. Mr. WHITE, in an Oration-delivered to the Sons of. Temperence in New York, a few days since, in referring to the eerrery of the order says: "Secrecy prevades the Universe; it veils the per son of the Creator, it is indelibly written upon the wonderful mechanieisna of his creatures. Who but God can understand the hidden emotions of the heart? And who, possessing that heart, will - reveal all its cherished contents. Would you re strain the pious feeling that would steal from the Social Pabel, to wrap itself in its sacred intusings? Would you put out the fire of the spirit that ex hales the incense of the contrite heart, as it rises silently and secretly from an antipathy of earth, to a kindred sympathy in Heaven? Would you in vricle the sanctity of the private circle and rudely parade; before a censorious public, the wounded pride, disappointed hopes, misplaced affection, all the charities of wedded love? Then place a guard round every dwelling—a sentinel in every charn ber—establish a system of universal espionage— declare an open war with Nature—and tear from the' Throne the sublime veil that envelopes Na ture's God." Here we have argumint—forcible and coneinsive .2:gm:tient, beautifully and eloquently expressed. Now for the reply of .the editor of the Guzette.— He "It t 9 unneEesiary for us to point out the trieked. tins ondfolly of such an argument as this, to uphold tenet Combinations for prircar purposes in a free got , ernment." Why "unnecwsarr" If the arguments used are reariq "wic!ced and foolish," and set fbrth j as the editor alleges to "to uphold secret combinations for private purposes," as the organ of a party opposed to all such institutions, he should rather, we think, . have deemed it his duty to "point out" its "wicked ness and folly," and we doubt whether even his party friends will Le satisfied with the naked declaration, that it is "unnecessary to point out" its "wickelness and folly." The editor, we pre sume, however, acted wisely. Satisfied that he Could not even plausibly answer the arguments so beautifully expressed in the extract, it was prudent in him to decline the task. The extract from the Gazette . above referred to, is certainly calculated to direct public attention to an investigation of the principles of the order. To this, we presume, its members will not object. The institution is now assailed, and charges against it of 'the inost grave character have been spread before .the country: The editor of the Gazette with an air of triumph asks the qtrestion, "whet man of .rellection and a friend to his country will not say that such an institution is LISATGEROVS TO LIBERTY, RE LIGIOUS AND CIVIL, and that its erietence is a wrong and an injury to all the uninitiated?" In reply to the above it is only necessary to state the simple fact that quite a number of our moat patrickie and pious citizens lielong to this much abused order, and are its most zealous sod efficient supporters. We cannot believe that the men to whom we refer would for one moment belong to an institution "dangerous to liberty, religions and civil," and the fact that "good men and tree" warm ly defend the order, we regard as conclusive evi dence that the editor of the Gazette is entirely Mistaken as to its principles and character. VoLtrivrtzus es. RsucLans,—About two vveeks ago a stranger, who was viewing the manoeuvres of the Tennessee volunteers at Nashville, turned to a bystander and said "it would be murder in the first degree to put such troops against British regu lars."

For the Morning. Poet COL. 131 oLsa.--You will much oblige many good old Antimasons in this county by publishing the enclosed communication, which I offered to one of our Antimasonic: papers but was refused a place for it. . Mr. Biddle;-1 was much pleased with the soot sense contained in an article in your paper the oth- ' er day relative_ to the nomination of Mr. Rowley by the late Whig and Autimasonic Convention.— The violent course recommended by the editor or the Gazette was very happily hit off, and the true and only practitial mode of rectifying errors or tricks or designing •men was correctly set forth in your article alluded to above. Does the editOr of the Gazette think he can merely by his own •"ipb.e dixit make or unmake a nomination just as he is pleased or displeased with the successful aspirants? The editor of the Gazette must have some per sonal peak against Mr. Rowley, else why is he so severe on him' alone, when Mr. Hampton is in the same category. It is true, I believe, though Ido not know the filet, Tnot being one of the fraterni ty) that Mr. Rowley is a Mason and an Odd Fel low. But is not Mr. Hampton an adhering Mason? Did any body know he was a Mason before his nomination for Congress? Did any of the old and substantial Antimasuls of this county ever hear -that Hampton was a Mason! If they did not, then is Moses Hampton guilty of duplicity, and his nomination is a fraud on the Antinutsona of this county, and the editor of the Gazette is bound by his own rule to call for his expulsion from the ticket. The Editor of the Gazette says, Hampton pub licly renounced Masonry. Ido not believe it. nor does any other antimason of my a:quaintance. When and where did he renounce masonry, was it in Somerset county? Certainly it was not in this .county. If it was since his arrival in this county, it is strange that nobody can recollect the circum. stance, for it is only some five or six years since he made a lodgement here, and almost any person could remember an event of so much importance as the renouncement of masonry by Moses Hamp ton. Esq., if it had ever occurred. In conclusion—for the present I will say, that the editor of the Gazette must either take back what helms said against Mr. Rowley,and reinstate his name on the ticket, at the head of his paper, or strike off the name of Mr. Hampton, and re commend the assembling of a new Convention. I consider both these nominations frauds on the staunch Antimasons of old Allegheny, they were in my opinion both secured by the workings of the Lodge. 4,310RGAN." Battles of the Bth and 9th of May. We yesterday - published two letters written to Secretary 31sac r by Gen. Z. Ts rton, in which a detailed account is given of the great battles of the Bth and 9th of May. Among the communications sent to Congress by the President of the U. S. on the 12th inst_ we find the following, which we pub lish with pleasure. It w.ll be seen by the letters of Major Actax and Capt. Brea/cat, that our young friend, Lieut. HATS of the 4th Infantry, dis tinguished himself in both. battles. The capture of the cannon by Lieutenants Hays and Wood and those under their command, as described by Major ALLEY, is only equalled as a deed of daring, by the charge of the gallant Capt. May, of which we have heretofore given a very lull account: HiAngrsETßna Ora iNTANTRT, Camp on the Battle Field, May IU, 1545. Sia: I have the honor to report for the informa tion of the colonel commanding the 3d brigaile. that in obedience to orders received yesterday, when the firing commenced, the Ith infantry deployed as skirmishing ou the right and left of the road, and advanced towards the point where the firing seem ed most lively, After rushing ou for some short distance, it was discovered that the enemy were pouring in a heavy fire of of grape and musketry, from a small breastwork just in front, defended by one piece of artillery, and about 150 or '2OO mend Captain Buchanan being nearest this point, and finding himself the senior officer, collected some 25 or 30 men of the regiment; portions of his own company, and companies 1), H, and K, and he, together with Lieuts. Hays and Woods, charged the work, completely routed the enemy. and captured the field. The regiment still con tinued to move forward until it emerged from the thicket into the main camp of the enemy, contain ing the headqnarters of the commanding general of the Mexican army, their ammunition, some 300 or 100 mules, saddles, and much camp equipage. I regret extremely to announce the death of First Lieutennant R. E. Cochrane of my regiment, who fell at the very edge of the camp, whilst gallant ly leadinghis men into it The nature of the chappziral was such, that in going through it. it very frequently became unavoid ably necessary to divide the regiment into detach-, meets; each of which met the enemy at different points, and always put him to flight. I cannot pass over in silence the brave and distinguished be havior of Lieuts. Hays and Woods, as well as that of Sergeant Major Maloney, and Corporals Farrel and lifTarlin, who, whilst their gallant comman. der, Captain Buchanan, was busily engaged in deli ' ins buck the infantry, rushed forward with six men to the cannon, and whilst Lieut, Hays was endear. ouring to despatch one of the mules attached to it, Lieut. Woods sprung to the handspikes, turned the piece in such a direction as to lock one of the wheels against a tree, and thereby prevented its being mov ed, and succeeded in defending and securing it. The conduCtof the officers and men on this day, as well as on the Bth, reflects the highest credit nil the American soldier. On the Sth, Capt. Page was se rarely, if not mortally wounded; one man killed. and one wounded. On the t)th, let Lieut: R. E. Cochran, and three men were killed, Lieuts. Wallen and Hays, and six men wounded; Lieuts. Wallen and Hays very slightly. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, GEO. W. ALLEN, Brevet Major, Commanding. 4th Infantry. To Lieut. Col. J. GARLAND, Commanding 3d Brigade. P. S. For further particulars, you are referred to the accompanying report of Captain Buchanan. - . . I have the greatest pleasure in expressing my warmest thanks to the adjutant of the 4th infantry, Lieutenant }Jenkins for his coolness, gallantry and efficient asaiatance throughout the whole of both affairs. GEO. W. ALLEN, Brevet Major, Comm'g 4th Infantry. CAMP ON TUE BATTLEFIELD, May 10 1816 Sin: In compliance with your request, I have the honor to report that, in the deployment of the 4th infantry, I found myself in the command of companies 13, I), and IC, on the left of the road as we entered,- and having been ordered to cross to the right and advance, did 80. After crossing the pond: I had with Lieutenants Hays and Woods: arid about 30 men of different regiments; mostly, however, of the 4th. Upon deploying my men on the crest °fate bill, I discovered ..one of the enemy's pieces about fifty yards in my front, which was defended by about 150 infantry. .1 charged and took the piece, and attempted to , spike it, but not being able to do so, took it back to a place of safe ty. The enemy had a breastwork in my rear, and opened a heavy fire on me, when, with about 10 men, I dislodged' him, and drove him across the road. Too much credit cannot be given to Lieu tenants Hays and. Woods, of the 4th. They were among the very first to leach the piece, and to them belongs the credit of its capture Whilst I was engaged in driving the enemy from his breastwork, these officers, with the men, repuised a party that charged them in order to recapture their piece. I cannot refrain morn calling your attention to Ser geant Major Malonefs coolness and gallantry. Every body did his duty noble as becomes Amer ican soldiers. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, ROBERT C. BUCHANAN, Captain 4th Infantry. To Major G W. Amax, Commanding 4th Infantry. -We subjoin the following interesting extracts from -o, letter of the regular correspondent of the New Orleans Bee.

CAMP OPPOSITE MATS:9'OEIS, May 28, 184 G Gcxer.sstex: From the date ef. this you will perceive that We are again on American ground. though within a.stones throw of tire enemy's bank. Our stay on the Matamoros side of the Rio Grande was brief—too brief to satisfy the curious portion of our troops in• the perambulations through the cap tured city. But I suppose, it's all right; as the pol icy of our commander is to annoy the inhabitants of the place as little as possible. We are, however, allowed to cross the river occasionally, in small squads, and to remain fora portion of the day. When I say we,, I mean the volunteer regiments, for the greater part of the regulars, with the rangers and dragoons, are on the other side—dividing the troops on the two Sides. A company of regular troops arc encamped on the public square to preserve or der, as is also a comp-my of Mexican citizens, whom the general has induced to organize to keep to keep their own citizens under proper restrictions. You must not infer from this that the liberty of the Mexican citizens has been in any manner cur tailed—it is not so; for I myself heard Gen. Tay lor tell a citizen, (who complained of an injury received from one of his own people.) that he did not nor would not, exercise the least civil jurisdiction over the place, but leave them to administer their own affairs so long as is did not conflict with his duty as commander of an invading army. Whilst atthe head-quarters, two Mexican women came crying to the general, and entreated him 'to release their husbands, who were prisoners in the fort. He simply bade the interpretor tell them he could not, and they went on their way apparently not the least surprised at his refusal. A ranchero also wanted the release of some servants, saying that his cotton was full of grass, bu t his request met the same success. Captain Thornton, of the dragoons, whom, you will recollect, was sent out some time ago to,take obserrations, wbp charged the enemy, was defeated and taken .prisoner, is still under arrest, and will shortly be tried for acting without orders. It is not likely that anything will be done to him more than censure, if that. He is spoken of as a brave and worthy officer. Lieut. Deas was exchanged for, though he was suffered to remain with the ene , my as a punishment for his indiscretion. He was taken for a spy, and that was one reason why Geo. T. used no exertion to get him back, thinking it would be a bad Precedent. No one thought him so, and attributed his singular conduct to a generous disposition to find out what had been the fate of Col. Cross. Looking over the papers received yesterday, I saw several attempts at a description of a rhapparal but all incorrert. It is a series of thickets of ea. rious sizes, from a 100 yards to a mile through, with mu.skett trees interspersed with various kinds of bushes, and briars, all covered with thorns, and so closely entwined together, as to prevent the pas sage of anything though larger than a wolf or hare. When they are in the course of atravellerhe moat travel around them; sometimes four or five miles before he can make a half a mile on his route. In the middle of most of them you will find a small prairie with numerous beds of prickly pears, the fruit of which is ollen ventured for by those who are accustomed to its use, and “know the ropes." It was in one of those prairies where Captain Wal ker was first tired on in the commencement of the battles—the enemy had cut down the bushes, and drawn a piece of artillery to its edge, and planted it just as Walker emerged from the thicket by a mustang trail, on the side. In the large thickets, a good woodsman can crawl on his belly, without coming in contact with the branches, and thus ap• pmach near enough to its outer edge to take a de- liberate aim at an object in the prairie, Foun O'CLOCK, p. m. I ceased writing this morning, because I had nothing to write about; put by my implements and crossed the river in search of news. The first place I went to was Walker's headiparters, a place where all the news respecting the enemy is to be found. Walker with the greater part of his men are absent on a ranging or spying expedi• tion, and when he returns he will advise us of the movements of Arista. On the other side of the river the war bill has created qtiite an excitement and the Mexicans look as though all hope •of sating their country from being overrun is lost. Fifty thousand men they think. will ruin Mexico. Our soldiers, too, seem ed cheered by the news, and anticipate a brilliant termination to their campaign, which a few days ago they feared would end in smoke. One of the volunteers was found dead in the streets of iklatamoras this morning, having been stabbed in the lark, and another is missing, suppo sed also to have been munleretl. A Spaniard or Mexican, was found dead in his house this morning early, and his wife came to Taylor's quarters. com plained of the deed, and pointed out the murderer. lie was promptly arrested, and placed under guard for trial. We have a regular mail arriving here every 'nor. T o ng f rom Point Isabel, which leaves again in the evening for the same place, which will aflbrd me an opportunity of sending you something eithe r i n the way of words or news every day or two.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, when boys have not been at the business a suffi cient I ength of time to have acquired a perfect know ledge of 'the art and mystery of printing, they should be bound as apprentices for not kit than 2 years:—and that 5 years should be the ,shortest period that boys, never-laving worked at the busi ness, should be indented. On motion it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in all the city papers. On - motion the meeting adjourned. - WILSON INGLIS, Ch'n. F. 11.

This lion is at present in the possession of Raymond & Wiring, and has repeatedly saved the life of the intrepid Driesbach when exercising tigers, leopards and other beasts in the performing cage. Driesbacb is the wander of the world as a control ler of beasts; his pet tigers feats, together with those of the lions andleepards have been beheld by mil lions.
