The editor of the " Times," the locofoco pa per published at Now Berlin, Union county, in this State, uses the following language in ref erence to ono of his correspondents. If his course was followed by the " Monroe Demo crat," lrvin's vole in Monroe would bo consid ahly lessened at the October election. " The communication signed " Jefferson," can never find a place in our columns. We have; on a former occasion, refused to publish one of a like nature; villifying in. the most de grading and personal manner the characters of ihe present opposing candidates for Governor and Canal commissioner. While wo shall strictly adhere to our partisan creed, we never theless shall exclude all articles from our col umns that have a tendency to detract from the high character and standing of any gentleman, we care not to what party he may belong. The writer of tho communication in question, makes some silly charges against Gen.

While all are entitled to a free expres sion of opinion on political questions, we should not degrade or convert the press to party pur poses, to tho deep injury of private individuals, as well in pursuit of their honest vocations in life, as in that which is more estimable than riches their good name.

Newark, August 2, 1 847. Knowing that a general appetite for R. Road news prevails in your section of the County, I beg leave to furnish a little aliment. The pub lic attention has been for a length of time deep ly absorbed by Ocean Steam Navigation, Mag netic Telegraphs, Animal Magnetism, and Pa tent Pocket Saw-Mills yet the desire for hav ing things jogging along on old terra irma by the agency of steam has not been allayed. I learn from the " Daily" thata Committee has been appointed by the Directors of the New Jorsey Delaware and Hudson Rail Road Com pany to select tho best route for the location of said Road. Three routes it is presumed will be recommended to tho attention of the Com mittee, and these said routes have been faith fully represented in an able communication that appeared very recently in the columns of the Newark Sentinel. Ono route would begin at Stanhope to which place it is expecledi tho Morris and Essex Rail Road will bo extended and pass through the Pequest Flats or the Quaker Settlement, Johnsonburg, Marksboro, Blairstown and Columbia to the Delaware Wa ffer Gap, and from thence to tho coal fields. The second route begins at the same point and runs north-west to Newton thenco to Bates- ville, strikes the Paulins-kill valley, and then down the table lands thro1 Stillwater to Marks boro, intefsecting at that point the first named route. The third runs from Stanhope to Car penters Point, and from thence to the Lacka wanna Coal Beds. It is but reasonable to sup pose that after a fair exploration of these dif ferent routes, and their respective advantages and disadvantages carefully considered and compared, that cither the first or second route will be selected for the location of the Road. Let the decision be, in favor of either one, the Delawaro Water Gap must bo the point for passing Tho Blue Ridge, so Stroudsburg stands a very good chance, at least, of hearing the rumbling of the chariot wheels. Newark, as all very well know, is a beauti ful City, indeed if regularity and cleanliness of streets, purity of atmosphere, splendid pub lie grounds, &c. argue anything in its favor, it is an A No. 1, place. It contains 28,000 in habitants. Among the public buildings, the Court House,. situated at the head of Market street, shows conspicuous. It is built of brown j i free-stone, its architecture is Egyptian. More anon. THE DOCTOR. The Office Holders Candidate. Francis R. Shunk is the nominee of the par tv that is only " held together by the cohesive power of Public Plunder." He has literally " lived, moved and had his being" in office for the last Thirty-Five Years, and the 'amount of money he has received out of the public treas ury during that lime amounts to over $70,000. A pretty snug, sum lor one man to receive for official services ; and yet his friends tell us he is "poor" If Shunk has actually squan dered the princely sum of Seventy- Thousand Dollars as his followers wish to make the People believe, he is certainly unfit to govern the State at a time when the most rigid econo my in tho management of its affairs is demand ed. Owing to the the mismanagement and ras cality of the dominant party, our good old Com monwealth has been well nigh ruined, and nojhing short of a change of men and measures will save her from bankruptcy and disgrace We- have the evidence of Shunk s own politica friends that he is incompetent to manage the affairs of State. His administration has been a curse to the Commonwealth. The People know it, see it around them, feel it in every day's ex perience 'r and if we can form an idea of the future from the past, they will say so through ilia ballot box next fall. Mar. Intelligencer, VTf When Longstreth was first nominated for Canal, Commissioner, the Loco papers de scribed him as a " retired city meichaut, who retained many of the habits and customs of Qua kers'in his family," he being wo suppose wha is called ' a hickory." But it sounded bad to have a candidate irv time of war wh.o is " a man of peace," Quakers not only opposing wars but refusing even- to do military duty. Next he was brought out as an agricultural lecturer who could demonstrate on paper, that farmers knew just nothing at all- about farming : And now they have actually got him at work- in the harvest field, with his coat off!'

The telegraphic despatch to the North Amer ican of yesterday, announced the glorious in leiligence of another victory achieved by Gen eral Scott over Santa Anna, and the fall of the city of Mexico. The news was brought by a courier Irom the ciry of Mexico to Vera Cniz, and from thence To Aew Orleans by.the steamship Wa&li ifiyton. After leaving Puebla Gen. bcott encountered no opposition at Rio Frio, as was anticipated, but found the enemy eight miles this side the Capital, draswrr tip in full force to oppose them, under Santa Anna. Scott immediately gave battle, and for a long time the field was stoutly contested. At length the Mexicans gave way, and a total route en sued. Our loss was 300 killed and wounded. The slaughter of the Mexicans have been immense As soon as the battle was decided, the civil authorities of the city came out to meet Gen. Scott, and forthwith capitulated. Our troops then took possession of the capiial, and the stars and stripes now float over the halls of the Monntezumas. Stroudsburg, August A, 1847. To Lieut. William Schoonover.
