United States Force in the gulf.
Some of the Southern editors express the opinion
that the United States force in the Gulf will make
an attack upon Vera Cruz. The New Orleans
Bulletin, alluding to.the subject, says that the fol
lowing American ships are in the Gulf, in the vi
cinity of Vera Cruz: The flag ship Cumberland,
Corn. Connor, the irotome, Raritan, John Adams,
St. Mary's, Lawrence,. steamer Mississippi, and
schooner Flirt. There is also (it says) quite a
strong naval force on the Western coast of Mexico;
quite sufficient, we thihk, with the aid' of American
settlers in California, to take possession of the en-
tire line--very probably too, with the free consent
of its inhabitants.
The editor adds: nWe trust our vessels in fits
Gulf did not allow the Mexican steamers of war,
recently pretended to have been sold to a mercantile
house in Havana, to leave the ports of Mexico.--
There is scarce a doubt that the sale was a ruse, in
tended to get the vessels out of port without oppo
sition, in order to fit them•for privateers."
Love and Suicide.
Quite a tragedy was enacted' at' Newport, near
Cincinnati, two weeks ago. A German named
John Teen, whose addresses had been rejected by a
German girl named Machtlefene Leibert, residing
in the name hause with him, shot her through the
head with a pistol, and then cut his own throat with
a razor. He was not dead at last accotmts, but
could not, from the nature of the' wound, survive.
HIM victim died immediately.
The New Oilcan. Courier relates the follow
ing incident connected with the volunteer move
ment
A gentleman named Adde, who served with hon
or during three years of the Florida War, is raising
a company of volunteers to join Gen. Taylor. He
went to the store of Messrs. Layton, hardware met. ,
chants on the Levee, for the purpose of purchasing
a flag; Mr. Layton answered that his gags were all
disposed of—but directed one of his clerks to go to
a neighboring store and buy one—and said to Capt.
Adde— ,, I present this flag to your company as my
own offering for the defence of the country." Mr.
Layton also told the Captain that when the compa
ny was complete he would furnish each man gratis
with a plate, knife, fork, spoon, and other accoutre
ments of the same kind--and, also, said he—" if
you should want a few hundred dollars to purchase
other conveniences for your men, apply to me and
you shall have the amount.
The Easton (Pa.) Whig and Journal says:—
Two persons named Bartholomew and Kitchen,
were drowned in the Delaware near Colnmbia, on
Saturday week. The circarnstances attending the
sad catastrophe wee as follows :—A party of seven
persons employed at Mr. Taylor's S late quarry,
were crossing the Delaware in a skiffi which was
overturned. Five succeeded, with considerable
difficulty, in reaching the shore, but the two young
men above named perished. We have notyet heard
of the recovery of their bodies.
DEATH or Mn. Tonnar.—The Rev. Mr. Torrey
who was convicted some two years ago of enticing
Alves away from the State of Maryland, and im
prisoned in the State prison at Baltimore, died in
prison in that city at 3 o'clock on Saturday last.
LIGMTNINO.—On the Ist of May, says
the Carlisle Statesman, Miss Musselman,
whose father fives about one mile from
Carlisle, who was on her return home on
horseback during the thunder storm, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
The horse went home, when the family
became alarmed, and going in search
found her a short distance from the house,
but dead.
The Pittsburgh journals are quarrelling
'about who should be awarded the credit of having
concocted the rascally scheme which effected the
revival of the Connelsville Rail Road charter. We
may soon hear of rogues contending for the horror
of the halter.—Wash. Rx.
The N.Y. True Sun says that the diffi
culty which ted to the resignation of Gen.
Worth was one of rank. Col. Twiggs is
an older Colonel than Gen. Worth, but
bOing a Brigadier by Brevet, he claims to
outrank Colonel Twiggs, and the Presi
dent decided that he did not—that a Bre
vet is a mere compliment which confers
no rank at all, and that Gen. Worth is
junior to Colonel Twiggs. Upon this the
General resigned.
The Sub-Treasury, the Warehousing
System, the Tariff.
The pause which followed the passage
of the resolution of notice relative to Or
egon, is likely to gradually be broken in
Congress, by a discussion of some of the
various measures which the ad mimstra
lion has in store fur the country, and upon
• which the party may manifest a kind of
union, apparently much disturbed by the
Oregon question. To some of those meas
ures assent will be given, by here and
there a Congressman, who feels the per
sonal necessity of sacrificing his principles
to his party and to his hopes, placed on
the success of that party.—Others will
vote for them with even less love for the
provisions of the bill, and strange as it
may seem, with less of sacriffre. They
will vote thus, just to make their peace
3with the party managers ; and having
ventured to disagree upon one point, they
1 1 will seek to make atonement, by a wild
and inexcusable act of injury to the peo
ple ; and the more wild, the more inexcu•
sable, the more will be the merit of their
- vote. There is nothing sacrificed by them,
nothing which they have or hope for• The
loss to, or of, the country, would consti
tute no sacrifice fur them.
The Sub-Treasury Bill, according to
Mr. Lewis, the chairman of the proper
committee, is for the present at rest. It is
not intended to put into operation until
January next and in the mean time, atten
tion will be given to the Warehousing
Bill. This is one of those schemes which
politicians get up to prevent the sudden
evil of a bad measure, as the Warehous
ing Bill will prevent an immediate demand
for money for duties, and will enable the
importer to look around and find a mar
ket and pay the duties of importation, as
he draws Lis gnat's from the warehouse'
for sale, directing a part of the purchase
money to the payment of the duties ; it
follows that the evils of paying for duties
specie that it to be immediately taken up
out of th'e way of circulation, will be con
siderably diminished', at least for a time,
by the Warehousing Bill.
The members of Congrsss, and their co
partizans, who' are pressing upon the peo
ple the Monstrous absurdity of tha Sub-
Treasury Bill, claim notch credit for their
remedial application of the warehousing
system. In our opinion, just in propor
tion to the remedial operation of the latter,
is the censure fur the former due to those
partizans. NVhy should the ingenuity of
Congress be taxed to apply a remedy to a
non-existing evil? Why should we be
told that the warehousing system greatly
lessens the evil operations of the Sub-
Treasury ? Why not open the eyes of
Congress to the supreme folly of passing
a law so obviously bad, so injurious in all
its operations, as to require another law to
make it tolerable? Why inflict the evil
at all ? Why create the necessity for a
remedy? Really we feel about as much
gratitude to Congress for their remedial
measures, as we should to a young sur
geon, for an exhibition of lancet and cups
for general and topical bleeding, as a reins
edy for a blow which he hail determined
to bestow upon us. Doubtless venesec
tiowswoirld assist to prevent some of the
evils of bruising, and the warehousing sys•
tem will certainly obviate a portion of the
evils of the bob-Treasury?—but why
bruise? why make a Subs Treasury 7
The advantage which the warehousing
system is supposed to possess,. as a pre
ventive of some of the evil consequences
of the,Sub-Treasury, has led many per
sons to regard it with great favor ; while
taken in connection with another propos
ed measure, it must be considered, as it
will be found, deeply, if not irreparably
injurious to Congress. Let Congress pass
the Tariff' Bill, recently reported, sir re
duce to any considerable extent the Tariff
of 1842, and then to the reduction of du•
ties payable, add the facility of paying the
duties ouly when the goods are sold, soil
at once the command of the American
market will be given to foreign manufac
turers, and the storehouses, the warehouses
of the government, wilt be the fortresses,
whence the legitimate and profitable hula
iness of our country will be assailed.
The warehousing system which, in it
self, might untie, certain circumstances,
be regarded with favor by the community
generally, becomes at the present time,
and under existing circumstauces in its
connection with the anti-Tarn measures
of Congress, a most efficient insfr;iffienf of
injury to the country, a coup de grace to
the manufactures, prostrated by the suc
cess of the anti-Tariff measures of the
government. U. S. Gazette.

At the residence of her Son-in-Law, (William
Dorris, Esq., in the borough of Huntingdon,) on
Thursday evening, the 7th day of May,1846, Mrs.
MARGARET S'I'ITT, at the advanced age of 81
years.
The body was escorted on Saturday the 9th inst.
to the old Hartslog Grave Yard, (near Alexandria)
where she was interred along side of the remains of
her deceased husband, Robert Stitt, who departed
this life in the year 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Stitt came
to this place in the early part of life, and built the
first house in the town of Alexandria—and there
raised a respectable family in the most honorable
manner. fly the produce of their own immediate
economy and industry—the country being then new
and thinly settled, (when good neighbors were of
vast Importance) they were of inestimable advan
tage to the community, on account of their moral
and social iniercourae—and the citizens were often
much indebted to Mrs. Stilt fur the friendship end
attention she gave to all within bounds, (both rich
and poor) and many yet must recollect the indefat-
igable care she took, (being uncommonly active in
her younger days) to aid, cherish and ameliorate the
afflictions of those in distress.
The fact is well known by many yet in our bor
ough—and especially by those who aro the oldest
residents.
Her days appeared to terminate in peace. She
Buffered with no particular disease—but appeared'
to be called from the troubles of tine world--free
from pain and suffering—merely by the dbctine of
nature. She was sixty years a regular member of
the Presbyterian Church.

and General Taylor's camp with a com
pany of twenty-four Texan Rangers,Fownd ,
several of the teams which had started
from the Point for the camp were return
ing, and reported: that the Mexicans were
on the road..
He started from his camp on the ntli
with his whole force to reconnoitre ; and
if possible open a communication witl►
Gen. Taylor. Hie had proceeded as Far
as about mid-way between Point Isabel
and the camp, when an. overwhelming.
Mexican force appeared very suddenly.—
A portion of his troops were raw recruits.
Ile instructed them to keep on his right,.
and gave orders to the whole to retire
under cover of a chapperal in view. But
his raw troops, panic stricken, scattered
in confusion,
The Mexicans advancing with. over
whelming numbers, he was compelfed to.
retire. Ile was followed until a mile of
Point Isabel, where he arrived with only
two of his men. Six others others subse
quently came in.
Capt. W. estimates the number of Mex
icans he encountered at 1500, and he sup,
poses that at least thirty fell during the
15 minutes he engaged them.
This force is supposed to be a portion of
that which had, at last accounts, crossed
the Alin Grande some 20 or .25 miles abate•
Matamoras, and which is estimated at
3000 men. ft is believed that they had
taken a circutous route, on the eastern
side of Gen. Taylor's camp.
The post is very strongly defended,
thanks to the exertions of IClajnrs Mun
roe and Saundets. With 400 men to de
fend the post, it :s believed it can he made
good against 3,000. There are now about
3,000 Mexicans on the American side of
the Rio Grande. One lialT above and one
half berow Gen. Taylor's camp.
