Huntingdon, Wednesday, December 30, 1846.
THE WAR.
From the news published in another
column, we are led to believe that the
prospect of a speedy peace with Mexico
is not at all flattering. The greatest
activity appears to prevail among the
Mexican people, and great enthusiasm
seems to be felt among them in regard
to carrying on the war. Santa Anna,
Mr. Polk's peace agent, appears to be
very popular with his troops, and all in
dications favors the belief that he in
tends making a very formidable demon
stration at San Louis. We certainly
tope for peace, but can as yet see nothing
but war in the prospect.
Next Governor,
" How stands the chance of our old
friend, Gen. IRVIN, for a nomination 1"
is a question almost daily propounded
to us by our Whig friends from the
country. We answer, as fair as his
most sanguine friends could desire.—
Gem IRNIN will undoubtedly be the
Whig and Tariff candidate, and will
therefore as certainly be Pennsylvania's
next Governor.
The State Convention will consist of
133 delegates, fifty-five of whom have
already been appointed. Of these, 44
are understood to be in favor of Gen.
Irvin, 8 in favor of Mr. Cooper, and
3 doubtful. The counties yet to ap
point will not materially vary this pro•
portion.
TREASON
The last Globe charges " treason"
upon all who dare call in question the
propriety of the Mexican war; but for
gets to make one word of comment upon
the treasonable conduct of Jas. K. Polk,
in sending Santa Anna home to Mexico,
to unite his distracted countrymen, and
then to lead them on to battle against
the American Army. It forgets, we say,
to tell its readers, about this treasonable
transaction. And who can deny but
what Mr. Polk has done so I—and who
will deny, that in doing so, he either
acted the part of a fool or a traitor 1
The Globe can take for its "worthy
Democratic Chief Magistrate" which
ever horn of the dilemma is best suited
to its taste."
Severe Gale—lujury to a Church.
QThe Baptist Church in Duncans
ville, Blair county, was unroofed and the
gable end blown in, during the severe
storm of wind on Sunday last. The
congregation were at service in the build
ing at the time ; and although several
were injured, we are pleased to learn
that no lives were lost. The names of
the injured are—Mrs. Burbank & daugh
ter, the former receiving a severe cut in
the face—the latter her arm broken;
Melinda Stehley severely bruised, de
priving her of reason ; Charlotte Stover,
also much bruised and one of her ancles
broken.
The damage to the church is said to
be considerable. We received the above
information verbally, but have no doubt of
its correctness. The sufferers have our
sincere sympathy.
CONFLAGRATION AND Loss OF LIFE.-
We are informed by a gentleman from
Tod township that, during the last week,
while Mr. Wm. Houck, of that town
ship, was absent from his house, it took
fire from causes unknown, and together
with his wife—the only inmate—who
was old and infirm, was burnt to ashes
before assistance could be rendered. Mr.
H. at first hoped that his wife had gone
to some neighbor's house, but imagine
his feelings when, lifter a search, he
found her bones among the ruins!
U Capt. Samuel D. Karns, says the
Pittsburg American, has been appointed
Sutler to the First Regiment of Penna.
Volunteers. Although we regret to lose
the Captain, we are exceedingly well
pleased with his appointment to any
post which will be of advantage to him.
[D- Proposals will be received by the
Managers of the Lewistown and Tusca
rora Bridge Company, until the 16th of
January next, for the erection of a bridge
across the Juniata, at Lewistown. We
state this for the benefit of bridge-build
ers.
D- Hon. John Blanchard has ou r
thanks for recent favors.
TEA AND COM3E.
In regard to the propositions of Messrs.
Polk and Walker, to lay a tax upon tea
and coffee, the Philadelphia Sun holds
the following language :—" Grown by
habit into a necessary of life, because
cheap and within the range of all—why
should these comforts of our temperate
population be torn suddenly from them,
by a heavy taxation, which will, per
haps, influence thousands to resort to
I whiskey, as a substitute for them 1 Have
statesmen so little ingenuity—have they
so little principle—so little shame—so
little humanity, as to belie all their pro
fessions of "free trade"—and love for
the people—by selecting for taxation,
two articles that are so necessary to the
virtue and comfort of our population 1
If they have no consistency as politi
cians—they ought to have the common
humanity that glows in every bosom, not
dead to the sympathy of sound hearts.
On what principle do they act 1 Caprice,
we know, is a feature of absolute power
—but caprice seldom seeks to gratify
whims, by cruelty. Are there Iko other
objects for taxation—no objects of luxury
I —no objects that are evil in their tenden
cies, and frightful in their consequences,
and which would not only better bear to
be taxed, but which to tax, would benefit
the whole country 1 Why not impose a
tax on distilleries, instead of tea and cof
fee 1 Why not tax rum, whiskey, brandy,
and other forms of poisonous beverage,
instead of the sweet plant of China, that
never rises to the brain, and the aromatic
berry of Java, whose medical virtues are
like balm to the worn and wearied sys
tem 1 Are they governed by a desire to
cause as much suffering and zoo to hu
manity, as bad laws, conceived in the
spirit of fiends, can inflict upon men 1
Where is the generous impulse, the wise
counsel, the lofty views that ought to
characterize the Christian Statesman of
a great Republic 1 Alas ! for the people
who have such rulers ! that they cannot
mingle one feeling of the soul with the
cold calculations of a selfish head, prone
to reckless schemes of desperate ambi
tion. Thank God ! Power is still re
sponsible in this country to the people.
We have yet a free press, and bold hearts,
who will repel oppression and expose the
errors of government to the understand
ings of the people—and their guilt to
their resentment, their judgment, and
their verdict.
Clerk of the House.
The Daily Chronicle says
" We understand that David Fleming,
Esq.,
, of Harrisburg, will be a candidate
for Clerk of the House of Representa
tives of Pennsylvania, at the next ses
sion of the Legislature. Mr. F. is known
to us as a gentleman of distinguished
ability, well acquainted with the duties
of the office, and we are certain he would
make a very efficient and popular offi
cer. He is peculiarly fitted for this re
sponsible post, and not wishing to dis
parage the claims of other candidates,
one or two of whom are our personal
friends, we are of opinion that lie is one
of the most capable among the candi
dates named for the clerkship."
We cheerfully and advisedly endorse
all that is said in the above, as regards
Mr. Fleming.
"Cameron Guards."
The above is the title of the new com
pany formed in Harrisburg, and not Go
vernor's Guards, as stated in our last.
The roll of this company contains 118
names. The officers are of the very
best material in the place—young, ar
dent and daring—equal to, and ready
for, any emergency. They are com
posed of the following gentlemen :
Captain—E. C.
First Lieut.—P. H. McWilliams.
2d. Lieut.—D. J. Unger.
3d Lieut.—l. S. Waterbury.
We congratulate the above named
gentlemen (in each of whom we recog
nize a former friend) on their success.
And it is almost needless to add, that
they have our heartfelt wishes for their
safe and speeedy return to the domestic
and social circles, of which they now
at the call of their country, take their
leave.
They left Harrisburg on Saturday
last, en route for Pittsburg, there to be
mustered into service in the 2d Regi
ment.

First Regiment of Volunteers.
The First Regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers was mustered into the ser
vice of the United States, last week, at
Pittsburg. The election for field officers
resulted as follows :
FOR COLONEL.
F. M. Wynkoop, 310
W. F. Small, 306
A. L. Roumfort, 253
E. Trovillo, 16
FOR LIEUT. COLONEL.

J. G. Moorhead 144
FOR MAJOR
F. L. Bowman, 491
J. C. Brown, 334
G. C. McClelland, 23
Jno. C. Gilchrist, 20
Alex. W. Foster, 1
Col. Wynkoop is a member of the
Pottsville company; Lieut. Col. Black,
of the Pittsburg Blues ; and Major
Bowman, of the Wyoming Artillerists.
They are all excellent officers, and will
do credit to the regiment.
Col. Wynkoop has appointed Lieut.
Alex. Brown (from Capt. Hill's Com
pany) Adjutant.
Corporal J. Egbert Farnum, (from
Capt. Nugle's Company) of Pottsville,
Sergeant Major.
Edward Havilland (from Capt. Scott's
Company) of Philadelphia, Quarter
master Sergeant.
The officers and companies composing
the first Regiment, left Pittsburg in
steamboats, for New Orleans, on the
21st and 22d inst.
Pennsylvania Again Ready.
The services of the following compa
nies have been tendered and accepted,
to compose the 2d Regiment called for
from Pennsylvania, to serve in the war
against Mexico, viz :
Columbia Guards, Danville, Capt. J
S. Wilson.
Cambria Guards, Ebensburg, Capt
James Murray.
Westmoreland Guards, Greensburg,
Capt. John W. Johnston.
Fayette Volunteers, Uniontown, Capt.
E. F. Roberts.
German Grays, Pittsburg, Capt. V
Gutzwiler.
Cameron Guards, Harrisburg, Capt
E. C. Williams.
American Highlanders, Cambria co.,
Capt. J. W. Geary.
Reading Artillery, Reading, Capt. T.
S. Loeser.
National Rangers, Philadelphia, Capt.
C. Naylor.
One company in the interior has been
accepted, but has not yet answered. It
will probably march.
Loss of A PALLET SHIP.—The Phila
delphia Packet Ship, Thomas P. Cope,
was struck by lightning on the 29th ult.
on her way from Philadelphia to Liver
pool. Every effort was made to extin
guish the fire, but in vain. Ship and
cargo proved a total loss. Passengers
and crew saved. This vessel belonged
to T. P. Cope & Co., Philadelphia, and
is spoken of as one of the finest ships
belonging to that city.
V-The Philadelphia North American
says that the Commissioners of Spring
Garden have passed resolutions to sub
scribe for 2000 shares in the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. Kensington, we learn,
is about to follow suit.
Tall Company
The Harrisburg Argus says :—" The
'Cameron Guards,' of this place, have
in their ranks some of the 'tallest kind'
of soldiers. One of the men measures
six feet five and a-half inches, and we
understand there are about twenty-five
in the company who will measure over
six feet in height."
CANAL COMMISSIONEII.-It will be seen
by a resolution which we publish, that
the Whigs of Union county have de
clared in favor of Wm. TWEED, Esq., of
Northumberland county, as the next
Whig candidate for Canal Commission
er. A better or more available candi
date could not be selected.
BRIGADIERGENEHALS.—The prominent
candidates for the command of the Penn
sylvania, New York, and Massachusetts
brigade, are—Gen. Cadwnlader, of Phi
ladelphia; Gen. Ward, of West Ches
ter, and James Watson Webb, of New
York.
Ot- A meeting of the friends of the
Central Railroad was held in Lewistown
on the 22d inst. Dr. J. B. Ann presi
ded. Jas. K. Kelly, Esq., addressed the
meeting; after which committees were
appointed to solicit further subscriptions
to the stock of this great enterprize.
JOHN C. REYNOLDS, of M'Vey
town, Mifflin county, has been appoint
ed Surgeon, and THOMAS C. BUNTING, of
Philadulphia, Assistant Surgeon, of the
first Pennsylvania Regiment.
SAN JUAN lr ULLOA.
The North American says : " This
fortress must be taken. Its acquisition
is important in many points of view.—
Regarded as impregnable, its conquest
must dissipate the confidence which in
spires Mexican resistance. The nation
that Can take Vera Cruz may dictate
terms to Mexico ; and it is policy to as
sail her in her strongest hold at once,
rather than linger out a war of outposts.
Vera Cruz, as the door of Mexico, opens
the heart of the empire to our armies.—
It should be taken, and it will be ; for,
though said to be impregnable, there is
no resistance which a greater power may
not overcome, and there is nothing im
possible to American energy. We only
ask that the Administration should do
its duty. Let the preparations be pro
portioned to the enterprize. If more
money, more men be required, they can
be had for the asking. The country de
mands that its quarrel should be so pros
ecuted as to avert defeat or dishonor;
and speaks not of lives or dollars on a
subject involving the national honor.—
San Juan must be taken ; and the vic
tory—for the effort must not fail—will
close the war. We know that the enter
prise demands energy and expense; we
are aware that this Western Gibralter
is considered impregnable: but there is
nothing impossible where the resolute
will is present.
The American honor demands the
capture of this port ; and the adminis
tration, should it cost millions, is bound
to achieve it. There is no party oppo
sition upon such a question ; all that we,
as Whigs, have and are, is offered to the
country in its present crisis. Our doc
trine is that no post is impregnable, no
duty impossible ; and the past assures
us that what man can do, Americans
can do. Vera Cruz may be won. In
the words of Beaumont and Fletcher,
.4 Woll■ of brass resist not
A noble undertaking ; nor can vice
Raise any bulwark to make good the place
Where Virtue seeks to enter: Then i; fall
In such a brave attempt, were such an honor
That Brutus, did he lire again, would envy."
Union County
We clip the following from among
the resolutions adopted at a Whig coun
ty meeting held in Union county :
Resolved, That we have undiminish
ed confidence in that great American
statesman, Henry Clay, and that it is
with unfeigned regret we behold his in
valuable services withdrawn from the
councils of the nation.
Resolved, That as Americans, we feel
proud of the gallantry of our army, both
Regulars andVoluunteers, and that, from
the coolness and courage manifested in
the hard-fought battles with the Mexi
cans, we need fear no foreign foe.
Resolved, That with such men to lead
our Armies as Scott, Taylor and Worth,
they are invincible.
Resolved, That Gen. JAMES IRVIN
of Centre county is just the man Penn
sylvania needs to fill the Executive
chair: That with him at the helm, the
ship of State would soon right herself,
our enormous taxation be diminished,
and State prosperity again gladden us;
—and that we pledge OLD UNION for
1500 majority for Irvin, if he is nomi
r.ated.
On motion of H. W. Snyder, Esq., the
following resolution was read, and unan
imously adopted :
Resolved, That the delegates now
elected, be instructed to present the
name of W about Tweed, of Northum
berland county, to the State Convention,
as the candidate for Canal Commis
sioner.
STATE CONVENTION
The Whigs of Bradford county have
appointed M. C. Mercer & J. 0. Adams,
delegates to the Harrisburg Convention,
and adopted resolutions in favor of Gen.
James Irvin.
The Whigs of Butler county have ap
pointed Samuel A. Purviance, Esq., Sen
atorial, and Maj. G. W. Reed the Rep
iesentative delegate to the March Con
vention, with instructions to support
Gen. James Irvin, for Governor, and
Capt. Samuel D. Karns, for Canal Com
missioner.
The Whigs of Lebanon county have
appointed Joseph Gleim, Respresenta
tive, and recommended John Killinger,
as Senatorial delegate to the March Con
vention, instructed to support Hon. Jas.
Cooper, for Governor.
WILL NOT RETURN TO THE SENATE.-
Speaking of the prevalent rumors of an
intention to send Mr. Clay back to the
U. S. Senate, the Frankfort Common
wealth, a leading and influential Whig
journal, says: " We think it very cer
tain that the proposition has been made
without the least knowledge or desire
of that distinguished statesman ; for we
have strong grounds for the opinion that
his views and purposes, in reference to
his return to that illustrious body, arc
now precisely what they were when,
some years ago, he formally and solemn
ly bade farewell to that theatre of his
former renown."
