Robcrt • Donaldson, Esq.
We have ascertained by inquiry at the Com
mis inners office that Rosser DON/LDSON, Esq...
the Democratic candidate for county commission
er, is not a defaulter; he. as Collector of Wilkins
Townshipfur the year 18.14, it is true has not col
lected the full amount due on. the duplicate, but
has paid over all that he has received. The cor
respondent of the Gazette will find by reference
to the Auditor's report that more than one half
the collectors in the county are defaulters if Mr.
Donaldson is to be called one, because lie has nut
been ableto collect and pay over the whole amount
charged on the duplicate placed in his hauds.
The Jury Trials
The -important Jury Triad' which appeared in
the Post of Saturday, was reported merely as au
cf-let to a very good thing of the same kind which
appeared in the Journal of the day prey ions.
But, to take a serious s iew of the subject.—'
The editor of the Journal and his party, did vote!
for and elected Joni; TT LED. Mr. TrxEn. as is
well known, did form a treaty fur the Annexation
of Texas, which treaty was rejected by the Senate.
Messrs, WIT lOITY, BED and other prominent
democrats voting against it. Mr. Tri.sa at the
next session again pressed the subject upon the
consideration of Congress. and resolutions then
passed both branches receiving Texas into the
Union as a sovereign State, declaring her entitled
to two Fsepietentatit es. and of course, two Sena
tors. The resolutions were approt ed by President
Tyler, and by him transmitted to the President of
Texas. Annexation, therefore, was, in fact, eon
summated during the Administration of Mr. Tr- 1
LER, who, we all know, was elected by lchig rot ea .!
There is 3 - et another fact connected with this An
nexation measure, worthy of special notice at the
time. There was a whig majority in the Senate , :
and yet this measure which is now pointed to by
the Whigs as having destroyed the Tariff of 15542. 1
t eeeived the sanction of that body. flow then stands i
the case? The measure ofannexation was recorn
mended, and after having received the sancta:..;
Congress, was approved by Mr. Trt.sa, ' .
by tkr Whig-party. The tomexatials re , sal..• •
Lions passed the Senate, too, in which there woo I
decided ir/rig majority. For our own part v. e do
not regret hating warmly advocated the _Annexa
.tion measure—we would tal;e the same course if
the question - t.va - itene Id be acted upon; but, in
justice-to all concerned. it is but proper that the
editor of the Journal and his party should hare
full credit for the important part they took in fa
sir of the Annexation measure,
,which, be it re
membered, had passed both branches of Congress.
and been signed by the President, before she in
auguratlik of Mr. Porn. The Annexation mea
Xure having received the.sanction of an Executive
.Gleerd by tie uhig party, and a Senate in which
there was a drridid trhig majority, w e think it but
plat that they should share in the rerponsibility as
well as the glory.
Pay of Volunferrs.
The whip we are pleased to learn, will soon
hare their sincerity on this question tested. Mr .
.BIIIOIIIT a democratic senator from Indiana, has
reported a bill to increase the soldiers pay, and
secure to him, and in case of death. his heirs a
bounty in land. We hope Mr. bright will yet
so amend his bill as to increase the pay of privates
in the regular service, as well as volunteers to $lO
per month. We append a synopsis of the bill:
Esc. l.—lncreases the monthly pay of each non
commissioned officer; musician, and private of the
army, one dollar per month.
SEc. 2. Gives to the same class of persons nam
ed in Sec. 1, who may volunteer or who has al
ready volunteered for six months, and who may
s erve three months, or until the close of the war•
a warrant for 100 acres of land which has been
subject to entry ten years or more.
Ss.c. 3.—Givcs to the same cl.ws of persons
volunteering, for twehe months and who may servo
as named M 2d Section, 160 acres of land from
any land belonging to the United States, subject t.
Ere. h.—Gives to the same class of persons now
in the regular army of the United States, or Who
may enlist before the close of the war, and who
may be honorably discharged, 160 acres of land
out of any of the government lands subject to en
try.
SEC. s.—Gives to the heirs of any of the class
of persons aforesaid, who may die in service during
the war, WO acres of land out of any lands subject
to entry.
The land in the before mentioned cases, are to
be selected by the persons entitled, wltcrerer they
please; and the location must be made within two
years from the issuing of the warrant.
The Tariff Bill.
The Pennsylvania Democratic papers, without
an exception 1,1 e believe, oppose the Tariff Bill
which passed theHousc:of Representatives on the
3d inst. The Pennsylvanian of Friday says.
"So far as Mr. 31 Kay's bill is concerned, howev
er, we have no hesitation in declaring that it does
not meet our approval. We believe it will not re ;
alize the expectations formed of it, in this impor
tant conjuncture of affairs; and we think it has riot
been constructed in a spirit of sufficient justice to
those vast interests which still require the foster
ing cam of our legislation."
The. Greensburgh Argus—Harrisburgh Union.
Harrisbargli A rgus;Lycoming Gazette, Spirit of the
Times, and the American Sentinel, Philadelphia
Doylestown Democrat; Eastern Democrat, Omigs
buigh Democratic Press; Carlisle Volunteer; Lan
caster:Democrat; and Huntingdon Globe; have all
expressed their decided disapprobation of the bill.
How WE rst.t. ♦eovr WAIL—The names of
t.to:r,ooo .volunt,-E , rs are at the - present time enrol

in the darkness. The fuiitive enemy, shot down

were every when throun up an the streets—pass

house—and scaling ladders attached to the wall,
to facilitate the ascent of reinforcements, for the
morrow's busy work of death. When the moon
rose we could ace from the loop-holes and windovv s
of the houses we were in, their numerous squads of
eavr.lry careering around the village, obviously in
tent upon iu'ercepting what we little meditated—
or retr,it. The two homes w e occupied.

houses around, and the square it.elf, were filled
with Mexican troops, and a strong reserve station

when we entered, and the overwhelming num
bers of the foe, we might have possessed marches
of houses onthe square, where we could have (Inv
;en the enemy from the town. The population had
I abandoned the place early in the day. carrying off
with them all that was valuable, and taken reuge
in the woods some distance from the scene of con
flict.
With the first rays of returning light the combat
recommenced. Our men had slept but little as
may be imagined; but a plentiful supply of wrn m
bread, jerked meat, and fleshly filled water jars.
prepared by the foresight of those whom we ex
pelled from the bosses. left Vs nothing to complain
of on the score of refreshments. The Mexicans
trained both of their six pounders to bear upon
our quarters, whilst shovers of musket balls came
dancing through every aparture in our buildings,
with such harmless profusion as provoked expres
sions of gratitude from our reckleis fellows for the
seasonable supply of lead. Facing instead of
fronting the range of their artillery, their grope
shots and balls rebounded from our houses, doing
no further damage than to scale the surface, and
glance off down the street. On the other hand,
the carnage of our rifles amongst their artillery
, men became perfectly frightful. Earnest anti emu
lous contests were rereatedly witnessed in our
houses for the loop holes and gratings, whence,
steadily as a targettiring; the murderous marks
men brought down their victims at every dis•
charge
n otin ;l the gun at the nearest angle of this square,
the dead and desperately wounded were literally
heaped in piles. This gun was manned at file
o'clock by a full company of artillerists, and at
nine it was silenced and abandoned, but five men
and the captain being left alive. The flat roofs of
the houses, with raised walls near three feet high,
were filled with soldiers, NN hilst the stone spouts
projecting from them, dripped freely with the
crimson shower distilled above. Whenever a
Mexican's head was raised above their surface; if
but for a moment's reconnoisance, a Texan bullet
found a mark, and the hapless victim a grave.
Exasperated with
,this one-sided butchery, the Mex.
ican olfieers, at thnead of theirpicked battalions,
charged us three separate times, pushing the front
of their doomed columns bravely up between the
houses cantaiuing us. Reserving our fire until
they became fairly wedged between us, at one dis
charge their ranks were swept into eternal night,
the survivors recoiling with cries of horror and
dismay.
It would be invidious to recount the many deeds
of personal intrepidity enacted by our men in the
course of this gallant struggle. Their sallies that
succeeded the charges of the Mexicans are unpar
alleled in the annals of modem war, for reckless
impetuosity and desperate fury. The fearless Came
ron, whose company garrisoned the hack yard of
one of the houses, being charged by an imposing
force of the enemy, after emptying his rifles into
their lines, beat off the foe until he could reload
with the fops. stones in the court. The battle con
tinned to be disputed with the utmost obstiaancy
on both sides, until near 12 o'clock, M., when, the
Mexican fire having almost ceased, General Am
pudia sent in a flag by a prisoner, requesting a
cessation of hostilities for an hour. This was the
S , ~
!.. _ ~.
more readily acceeded to by Our commander, the
impresSion being general that the Mexicans were
desirous of surrendering the town, and drawing Off
their forces unmolested. A message• :from the
Mexican general soon dispelled this allusion. It
contained terms of capitulation for us, in lieu of
asking it themselves. It presented the Mexican
force as amounting to three thousand Men, inclu
eliisive of the cavalry outside, with abundant sup
plies of provision and ammunition, hourly expec
ting a reinforcement, and all the fortified parts of
the village in their possession. They 'demanded
our surrender within the hours or menaced us with
je. renewal of the fight, and ultimate unsparing de
struction. The terms proposed - us mere as liber
al as could be expected, and the most solemn as
surances offered that they .would be strictly ob.
served:
The question of a refusal - or compliance with
this demand, was v;artnlydebated by both men and
officers. The atponderaing face of the enemy—
our own diminished supply of =Munition, and
destitution of all means to sustain a siege we la ere
—the hopelessness of a retreat in the face of his
fresh and numerous cavalry—inclined many to
yield a ready assent to his proposal. Others again
were for maintaining our position until night and
darkness would lend their protecting aid to a re
' treat. A third party vehemently urged'the prompt
evacuation of the town, confronting every hazard,
and death; if necessary, sooner than fall into the
bands of our implacable foe. Nearly all were
nui
ted in the determination under 110 possible circum
ces to aluDidon the trotenee,4.
In such gloomy and indecisive discussion the
hour of the armistice wore on, and had nearly'
elapsed, when General Fisher arrived at quarters
from a personal interview with Anipudia, strength
ened by the Meiticans' assurance of safety and
good treatment in the policy of a surrender. All
extension of time for consideration being, denied
and the utmost disorder la-ginning to be mani
fested among the men, our xommander sorrowful
ly pressed our immediate capitulation. Here the
intrepid Green invited the aid of a hundred volun
were; to cut their way to the Texan camp, or per
ish in the attempt.—The exploit teemed too des
perate for success; and, obscrvipg Col. Fisher sur
render his sword, and numbers of the men yielding
their arms. the frantic soldier shattered his rifle
inNt the ground.
Many were the tears of bitter shame and morti
tic ation that coursed down the rugged cheeks of our
i noble fellows as they marched into the square alai
stacled their arms. And sadder yet would have
heat their hearts, and deeper would the desperation
lot their lot ha% e smote upon that captile band,
had the more unveiled one single scene of the
ilestila:e sufferings they were destined to endure,

Tire OnsansTllVATT.—The 'Washington Union
copies a letter of the Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier in which he states that Mr.
McLane, is forwarding the terms of the recent
treaty, urged the President not to accept them,
as better could be secured; and asserts that the
co rresponden c transmitted with the treaty. showede
that the President or secretary of - State never did
believe in our title to the territory beyond the 49th
degree. The letter is accompanied in the Union
by the following among other editorial remarks:—
bolt. Sun.
All attempts to injure the fair fame of Mr. Polk
and Mr. Buchanan in relation to the Oregon nego
tiation, will la disippated to the winds the mo
ment when it shall become proper to publish the
whole correspondenceon the subject from the State
Department. In the mean time, it is limper that
we should state, that esery item contained in the
article from the Courier and Enquirer, is either
wholly destitute of foundation, or that the truth is
so misrepresen red as to clothe it in the garb of
falsehood.
Mr. McLane, we are 'assured, had not the least
expectation, nor did he afford the least encourage
ment to hope, that any better terms could be ob
tained from the British government, in any event,
than those obtained by the treaty. The contrary
is the fact, with' the single exception of the navi
gation of the Colunribia river. Bethought it prob
able that this might be limited to the Hudson Bay
Company for a term of years, should the present
ministry continue in power. The reason, and the
only reason, as we have understood out of doors,
why the Senate did not propose thie modification,
was a belief that, under a true construction of the
proposal itself, this right was limited to the 30th
of May, 1859, the time when the present license'
granted to the Hudson Bay Company by the Brit
ish government, to trade with the Indiana west of
the Rocky Mountains, will expire. It is certain
however, that long before that period. this right to
navigate the Columbia, limited as it is to the Hud-
son Bay Company, and those trading With them,
will-cease to have any practical existence. The
settlement of the country wilt long.ere.this render
their fu[ trade with the Indians not worth pursuing.
It is Utterly false, "that the treaty adopted by the
Senate. is not as favotable as England has once be
fore offered." On the contrary', England has yielded
to the United States under this treaty, sufficient ter
ritory to form two respectable states of the Union,
beyond any offer which she had ever previously made.
ft-is not true, that any correspondence coMmu
nicated to the Senate, or any correspondence in ex
istance, will prove "that Mr. Polk did not believe
in our title beyond the 49th parallel of noith lati
tude;" but it will prove directly the reyerse.
It is not true, that "amdngst documents known
to exist, is one written by . Mr. Buchanan to Mr.
McLane. endeavoring to prove that we reach no
title beyond the 49th parallel, and urging, the min
ister to get an oMt to that point, if possible."—
Mr. Buchanan has never written a line on the sub ,
ject since the date of his celebrated letter to Pak
lenham of the 30th Augu st- last, maintaining out
title•to the parallel of 5 , 1° 46', inconsistent with
that letter. His opinion remains unchanged as to
the extent of our title. He concurred in opinion
with the President, that, under all the circumstan
ces which had transpired insteadof rejecting the Brit
ieh the President ought to submit it to the Fen
' ate for their approval or modification. This was
done in deterrence to the Fen we—the course which
had been adopted on similar occasions by his pre
decessors.
It is impossible that "the developments" before
the Senate can "have excited a great degree of
feeling against Mr. Buchanan for the part he has'.
taken in this matter." nor do we hello's. that,
•should be nominated to the vacancy on the su
preme bench, his confirmation is very doubtful "
We would advise our Whig contemporaries to
wait a little. All the facts will ere long be pla
ced before the public, when it will appear that the
course of Mr. Polk and Mr. Buzhanan has been
clear and consistent throughout; and it is this
course which has secured to the country the whole
region between the Columbia and the egth paral
lel of latitude—not as much as we ought to hare had
but a vast territory beyond what had ever been of
fered to us before by Great Britain.

NEVER DESPAIR - --=You can be cured!
LAMPERTSVUt.r., (N. J.) June 10, ISIG
Dr. D. JA NE, No. 8 south Third street, Philadel-,
phja..—"Dear Sir—l have this day had an interview
with the gentleman of whom I made mention to you
as having taken-your Expectorant with such decided,
effect. He is a respectable farmer, living a few miles
from here. I was so much interested in a detailed
account he gave me of his cough and cure, that I
embrace the first liesure moment to communicate it
to you, and if the curo is as radical as it appears to
be, it is.themost remarkable one I have ever known.
For 32 years (after having the measles) he has boon
suffering with a cough of the most distressing kind,
getting worse as he advanced in years; (he is now 8.5.)
Frequent terms of coughing and difficulty of breath
ing, lasting from an hour to an hour and a half,
would come upon him, with such severity as to ex
haust him, with strangling until his eyes became
bloodshot. He had despaired of being cured, hav
ing tried physicians and a thousand things without
relief. For nine veceks immediately previous to his
taking the Expectorant, he had not been able to 'go
to his barn, although there was the most urgent ne
cessity for him to do an.
During the nine weeks he was under the care of
an eminent Physician, and-he finally got just able to
go out and came to my store, and, hearing hiscough,
I recommended to him- your Expectorant. Ho first
said he had tried so many things that he had no con-
fidence in any thing; but I induced him to take a Col,
tle by telling him.offernons of my acquaintance who
had been deeitliplt benefitted by it.
.This was on
Tuesday; thatotight helook of it, and says that it was
the first comArrtchle night's sleep ho had enjoyed
for years. On the Thursday following he went to
work, and has continued ro make a full hand on his
farm ever since, (now nearly two months.) He told
me to-day that for. the last week he had cut and split
a hundred rails, or made 100 panels of fence per day;
has been in the water to washhis sheep, and Other
wise exposed, without the least symptom of a return
of his cough, it having entirely disappeared, and,
strangest of all, one third of a bottle has produced
the effect. He seems so thankful and overjoyed that
ho "wants to talk all day about it," and says that if
be could not procure another bottle, he would refuse
$lOO for the remainder of the bottle he has lett.
Your Cartninitive Dalsom I have used or recom
mended to others for the last ten year, with the
most salutary effect. Kespectfully yours,
