FROM THE RIO GRANDE
The NEwOrleans Picayune puts us in
possession of adVices,from the Rio Grande
to the 3d instant, brought by the steamer
Alaha ma.
-There does not appear to be much news
'of interest from our Army. The Mexican
•forces are .supposed to he concentrated in
the vicinity of Montery, under the imme
diate command of Gen. PAREDES. The
American army appear to be on the point
of taking up their march to penetrate as far
as Montery.
Correspondence of the N. 0. Picayune.
• POINT limner., JULY 3, 1846.
• I left Matamoias last evening and start
ed from Gen. Smith's camp, on this side
of the Rio Grande, at nine o'clock, with a
volunteer-officer, to• ride across the 'prairie.
Gen. Smith was to begin to remove his
camp to-day some twelve or fifteen miles
up the river, on the Mexican side. The
'musquitoes showed themselves in numbers
for the first time at headquarters last -eve
ning. The volunteer camp was perfectly
- shrouded by smoke, raised by the- men to
keep off the intruders.
That a large part of the army will move
towards Montery can no longer be doubt
ed, as boats enough of light draught have
arrived to warrant -Gen. Taylor in taking
possession of the country between the
month of the river and that place.
The road we came over last night—l
mean the wagon road between Point Isa
bel and Matamoras—is still impassable for
loaded wagons, and it is a wonder to me
bow a light wagon can be dragged over it.
From the river to the Palo Alto, some nine
miles, there is not altogether half a mile of
hard road. The mud is generally a fool
deep, and in some places two or three feel
deep, anil there is at least four miles of wa
ter, in many places hardly fordable for hor
ses. The gentleman who accompanied
me down captured a gar-fish on "Six Mile
Prairie," between the battle-fields, the oth
er day, nearly three feet long. I passed
over the same place four or five times when
it was perfectly dry, with no appearance
ofhaving ever been overflown. At the
Resaca de la Palma, where, as you will ob
serve on the map, a road passes between
the ponds, there is now but one pond, and
that is deep enough any where for a re,
spectably sized steamboat to pass through
it. The Palo Alto battle-field is two-thirds
'covered with water.
ENLISTING THE MORMONS FOR THE
WAR.—CoI. Kearney, having failed to get
the number of Infantry from the volunteers
which he desired, has despatched Capt.
Allen; of the U. S. Army, to the Mormons
now encamped on the plains above Fort
Leavenworth, to enlist, if practicable, 500
or more of their men.

ASILINGTON, , July 2, 1840.
Gentlemen :—I am highly honored by
:.your invitation to meet the Whig citizens
of. Philadelphia, who are about to celebrate
the coming anniversary of American Inde
pendence.
Concurring-, fully, in- the sentiments of
your note, and having the, pleasure of

much regret my inability (from profession

Whig County Convention.
In another column will be fotind the call for a
Whig County Convention to nominate candidates
for the fall election. The Convention will assem
ble on Monday the 2.lth of August—the delegates
to be chosen on the Saturday previous.
The Mate Interest.
We have the pleasure of stating that the tax.
payers of Adams county have promptly respond
ed to the circular of the County Cofnmissioners,
in regard to the payment of the State Taxes, and
that the County Treasurer left this place yester
day for If i rrisburg, prepared to pay our fir// quo
ta of the State Tax. If the other counties have
done as well, there need be no fear as to the non
payment of the August interest.
A Metoor.
On Monday night last a large and brilliant me
teor passed across the heavens, from south-west
to the north-east, apparently passing immediately
over our town, and_ beautifully illuinini ng the
streets. It came suddenly into view at an angle
of about 30 0 aboVe the horizon, and darting rapidly
over us, passed beyond the range of vision within
about. 35° of the northern horizon. ThegVil
liancy of the meteor, and the bright glare thrown
over the town, caused it to be very generally obser
ved by our citizens.
We notice by our exchange papers that the
same meteor was observed in Baltimore, York,
Lancaster, and other places, under similar circum-
Ilot Weather.
The oppressive heat of Friday, Saturday. and
Sunday, seems to have been felt at other places
than Gettysburg. At Philadelphia the mercury
reached 103 degrees; at New York 95 ; Provi
dence, 05 ; Boston ; Rochester 06 ; at Pitts
burg 97. Numerous deriths from the effects of
the heat and drinking cold water are recorded in
our exchanges. In Philadelphia, on Saturday the
Coroner held inquests over the bodies of ten per
sons who had died from this cause. In Baltimore
nine inquest's of a similar kind were held by the
Coroner. The New York Sun thinks that the
victims in that city, during' the three days, num
bered over rirTr ! The New York Courier men-
lions three cases in which life was saved by the
application of a mustard plaster over the whole
abdomen, and giving brandy internally.
The city papers also state that a large number
of horses fell dead in their harness. In Gettys-•
burg, the mercury ranged from 90 to 93 degrees.
We learn that one of tho horses in the Stage-team
running from this place to York died from the
effects of the heat on Friday ; also one on Mr.
TAres line between Gettysburg and Ballimoke.
Looking up.
We are pleased to learn from the Bloomfield (I
owa) Standard, that our quondam case-mate, WiNf.
P. CLARK, Esq., late Editor of the lowa Standard,
has been nominated By the Whigs of Muscatine,
Johnson, and lowa counties, as their candidate for
'the Territorial Council. During 'prentice days
CLARK and our "proper self" picked type together
for several years, and a whole-souled, generous.
hearted fellow he was. By the way—Bill, recol
lect the last night and "THAT FINGEn?" We have
been steadily looking for it ever since.
We observe by the same paper that Man D.
DOWNEY, Esq. formerly of this place, has been re
nominated as. Representative for Johnson county.
The Whigs of lowa will do themselves honor in
sustaining both by triumphant majorities.
MrThe editor of the U. S. - Gazette is repectful
ly reminded of what he :seems to be entirely una
ware, that there may be members of the Whig
party equally capable with himself of determining
what may and what may not subserve the inter
ests of the Whig cause. Mr. CHANDLER is a
good Whig, and, in his proper plait., a good lead
er. But he must not mistake his position. For
ourselves we are heartily sick of the frequent gra
tuitous and officious "rebukes" which the mention
of any other than coiz name in connection with
the Presidency, seldom fails to elicit from the
Gazette. If Mr. C. be so entirely wedded to the
idol of his affections, as to be unable to appreciate
the motives of those whose views and preferences
may diller from his own, policy, if not courtesy,
should induce less frequent charges of"sellisliness"
upon those battling for the same principleirmil
professing equally disinterested motives.
lUra.ome Locofocos of the Northern Liberties,
Philadelphia, lately held a meeting at which they
nominated Gen. TAYLOR for the Presidency !

_ The Bill to graduate the price of unFold Public
Lands, &c., failed in the House of Representatives
on Friday by alomOt s 5 to on its passage. As
the passage of the bill was understood to be one
of the conditions of the "bargain and sale - bet‘‘een
the Southern and ‘Vemern Locofoco members cot
t:ongress, by which the latter were induced to
support M•Kay's Free-trade Bill, its defeat exei•
ted alarm among the partizans of the Admin
istration, lest the Western Senators should in con
sequence flinch . from the support of M•Kay's Bill
now before the Senate, and this cherished nieasure
of the Government be swamped: A reconsidera
of the vote was at once moved, and, after a good
deal of skirmishing, the House adjourned• over, in
order to give time and oppOrtunity to apply the
dragooning process, so effectually exercised over
the refractory, pending the passage of the Tariff
Bill in the House. A caucus was held that night.
and on the next day all the confidential advisers
of the Executive, except th'e Attorney General—
Messrs. Buchanan, Marcy, Walker, Johnson and
I )
titchie—made their appearance in the House, and /
b • constant and close intercommunication with
re members, succeeded in drilling them sufficiently
to secure a reconsideration of the previous day's
action of the House by one vote. This accom
plished, the bill was laid aside with the viriv of
giving further time d.
.for caucus movements and
the application of additional agencies to secure its
final passage. This bold and novel method of in
terfering with the legislation of the country, by
overawing the Representatives of the people and
deterring them from an independent exercise of
their prerogatives, has excited, as it should, no lit
tle alarm and called forth numerous expressions
of indignant condemnation from the public press.
The correspondent of the United States Gazette,
writing from Washington, says :
"This is not the first or second time that
members of the Cabinet have been present
when important votes were to be taken,
and whelk the result has been considered
doubtful. It is a new practice in the Gov
ernment, and shows the progress of cor
ruption, and not the_progress of it only,
but the increased shamelessness and profli
gacy of it. The presence of the Cabinet
officers in the lloise, was the subject of
general remark, and it was suggested that
a resolution should be offered—and such
an one may perhaps be offered as a rebuke
to their intermeddling in the legislative af
fairs—that the Commissioner of Public
Buildings cause Ministerial benches to be
erected in the House for the accommoda
tion
of the King's ministers, whenever;
they should thing proper to come here to
dragoon the House into proper obedience i
to the Executive will."
"'What miserable tools and toadies, (says the
York Republican) those unworthy representatives
of the people must be thus to surrender their views
and opinions to Executive dictation—to be thus
dragooned by the emissaries of the President !
And what alietty tyrant this Mr. Polk must be!
Row fully he must understand the craven and
mercenary nature of his followers thus to trample
under foot the independence of the Legislative De
partment I Why Charles the Frst, when he went
in person and broke up - the session of the English
Commons, was not guilty of a bolder usurpation ;
and we soon may expect to see our American Au
tocrat following the royal precedent to its utmost
extent. Shame on men prOfessing to bedemocrats
to exhibit such servility !
Land Graduation 11111.
The Land Graduation Bill, after a closely con
tested fight of several days, finally passed the
House under the influence of Executive interfe
rence on Tuesday by a vote of 12 to 90. The
first section provides that all pullic land which
shall have been offered for sale twenty years or
more, on the Ist of December 13.10, shall. there
after be subject to entry at one dollar Per acre for
the term of five years. All the before described
lands then remaining on sale, shall be subject to
entry at 75 cents per acre for anether term of five
years, and all sueh unsold at the end of the last
mentioned term, may be entered at 50 cents per

On Tuesday. Mr. WErisTru presented a remon
strance from the citizens of Boston against the
passage of a new Tariff Bill. The remonstrance
was signed by every importer of dry goods in the
city of Boston, and in presenting it Mr. Webster ad.
dressed the Senate in a few remarks uttered in an
unusually solemn and impressive manner. Not
withstanding the expression often repeated, that
the new Administration would repeal the Act of
I s-t 9. : notwithstanding the Chief Magistrate had
repeated his hostility to this Act in his Inaugural
Address and his annual Message; notwithstanding
the 'apprehensions of those opposed to such repeal,
and the late period at which the repeal bill had
been introduced—notwithstanding all these things
—the country was warned and ought to have been
prepared for the worst—the passage of this bill
through one house of Congress and its appearance
in the other, had taken the country by surprise!
Ile might say it had tilled the whole country with
fear and apprehension. From the Potomac to the
Penobscot, it had not been ,expected that a bill
containing such principles as this bill contains,
could ever receive the sanction of Congress.
He said it was not his intention to discuss those
principles now, but if his health held out under
the present broiling sun, it was - • his purpose tb go
into a thorough examination of all the details of a
bill so novel and so dangerous in its principles—
so rash, and he might say, so intemperate in many
of its provisions--a bill that could not but pro
duce the greatest anxiety, distress and alarm
throughout the country.
More Taxes.
ircTlie New York Journal of Commerce. an
Administration and Free-Trade paper, in an arti
cle reviewing the Bill lately passed in the House
of Representatives admits thht it cannot produce
revenue sufficient to defray the necessary expenses
of the Government, and says • that "direct taxes
must ultimately and Wore long be resorted to!"
Tax-payers of Pennsylvania, what say ye to this?
Already burdened and almost overwhelmed with
heavy taxation as you are, how relish ye this fa
vorite measure of Mr. Polk, which, while it crush
es the industrial energies of the State, and brings
want and misery to the doors of her citizens and
laborers, imposes upon you additional taxes to
swell the load already pressing you ber.eath its
weight. "Who is James R. Polk V' was the
scornful response of the Whigs of the Union to his
nomination by the Baltimore Convention; most
painfully is it being answered in the Anti-Ameri
can measures of his Administration.
The People Moving*.
The prospect of a repeal of the Tariff of 1512
has produced considerable agitation in the Iron
and Coal regions of this State. Large meetings
of the Citizens of Berks and Schnylkill counties
have been held at Reading, Pottsville, and_Matinch
Chunk, without distinction• of party, at which
strong resolutions were unanimously adopted, tie
nouncing the bill berore Congress as ruinous to
the propserity of the State, and necessarily fatal to
to the Coal and Iron interents
The Potatoe Rot.
The Delaware State Journal, Westminster Car
roltonian, and York Republican announce the ap
pearanc'e of the "Potatoe Rot," which did so much
injury last season. The Republican of Wednes
day last says : "It is now discovered in the early
Potatoes. From the few inquiries which we have
made, we are led to fear that the rot has already
attacked the early crop in this vicinity, as we are
informed that a large proportion of the new pota
toes purchased at our markets have been diseased,
and some farmers say that they have discovered
it in the hills, in low wet ground. We regret
this sincerely, as no vegetable production is in
such general use and affords so material and favor
ite a portion of the food of Tan as the Potatoe.=
Every writer on the subject seems to have his
own theory about it, scarcely any two agreeing;
and no remedy has yet been discovered for the
evil."

57 - After Mr. Evass had coneluded his speech
on the Tariff on Wednesday, a desire was mani
fested by the friends of the take the ques•
tion without further debate. Mr. I).rr•is of Alas.
sachusetts, desiring to discuss its merits, moved
the postponement of its further consideration until
next day. which was agreed to by a vote of 2.7 to
.2-1. It is thought that the Administration mem•
hers will decline participating the discussion,
and that the field will be left entirely to the oppo
nents of the bill.
ED - The Warehouse Bill passed the Senate on
Wednesthiy by n vote of :11 to 20. It had been
previously modified so as to make it :ess ob
jectionable to some of the Whig Senators.
fCrThe Bill authorizing the raising of money
to meet the expenses of Government, by the issue
of Treasury Notes, or by loan, passed the blouse
on Thursday b}• a vote oillB to .17.
ILTit. is said the Department of State has been
of to Mr. 311-Axx, and that his answer is ex
pected by the next Steamer from England.
EU - The House of Representatives, on Tuesday,
rejected the bill for the improvement of the Ohio,
Missouri, and Mississippi rivers, by the decided
vote of 150 t o 48.
Tli e Army.
We have no additional intelligence of impor
tance from the Rio Grande. The wet season and
heavy rains rendered 'it almost impossible for the
army to conduct its operations to much advantage.
All accounts from the capital, however, represent
that the President, Paredes, was to march'to meet
Gen. Taylor with a large number of men. Appre
hensions existed at Vera Cruz that au . attack
would be made upon the Castle, and troops were
being brought in constantly from the country.—
Many were falling a prey to the yello-w:lever.
The Harvest.
The fine weather of the last eight or ten days
has enabled our farmers to secure the new crop.
We believe the Wheat crop throughout the county
has been good with a few exceptions; and that the
yield will be the usual average. One of our "town
farmers," Sir. RonEnT Smtrit, expects a yield of
SOO bushels from a few lots lying about town, av
eraging full 3O bushels to the acre.
Mechanics' Liens.
On page 327 of the Pamphlet Laws for 1810
will be found the following enactment extending
.the benefit of Mechanics' Liens to this County:
Be it enacted, 4-e. That the several
provisions of the act entitled "An Act rela
ting to the lien of mechaties and others,
upon buildings," passed the 16th June,
1836, together with the several supple
ments thereto, be and the same are hereby
extended to the county of Adams.
117 - A man named Amos HAucit, was found
dead in a meadow near Hagerstown on last .at
urday night. Ho had been drinking freely at a
harvest frolic during the day. A wife aud four
teen children remain to mown the loss of a hus
band and father, murdered by that" mostfruitful
source of crime, Alcohol.
ID - Of 1731 deaths in the city of Baltimore du
ring the last six months, 31/0 were from consump
tion, 108 of measles, and 1.13 of small pox.

State, declaring that, "he had served in

Polk ; that he was personally acquainted

to declare that James K. Polk was a bet

he believed the Tariff of 1842 would be
safer in Mr. Polk's hands than in Henry
Clay's. (Great sensation.; voices : "Did
you hear that f" "Did you hear him say
Si) ?" "Is that possible"' r)
Mr. P. repeated the statement. Hebei
heard Mr. Ouchamm use these words.
Mr. Pollock farther stated that at one of
the. great Polk meetings in Pennsylvania
during the canvass, a banner was borne at
the head of the procession inscribed
“James '. Polk and the. Tariff' qf 1842
—7l'e dare the Whigs to repeal it.”
Can any stretch of charity avert the
conclusion that the leading actors in this
swindle knew they were cheating on the
most gigantic scale ever known.
Nov Er. PRocEEDINo.—The grandjury
of Marshall county, Miss., have indicted
a whole gang of loungers and idlers with
which that town has been infested for a
long time past. The fellows dress well,
live high, and do 'nothing. The .way
they earit a living, and whether honestly
or not, is what the grand jury is determin
ed to find out. Suppose the grand jury
were to indict all the loungers and idlers
about these quarters. what a busy time
there would bein the courts for a few
months.
FEMALE "tirowrs."—Two women in
Cincinnati, a few days ago, crossed the
river into Kentuclo,; . to settle a quarrel, ac
companied by several female friends and
their seconds. They foUght five rounds
in strict accordance with the rules of box
ing, and then pitched into each other after
the Tennessee sort. One was whipped of
course, and honor having been satisfied,
there was a cordial shaking - of tongues.

LIKENESS OF MR. 11 7 ERSTER.—fris said
that Mr. Healy, the artist, has been re
luested by lii' Bostonians to paint Ilk.
Webster defending the !limiting-Treaty
before the Senate; a subject which may
probably occupy his attention for two or
three years, and which he will doubtless
be ambitious to render one of the great
works of his life. Few artists of his years
have attained to the reputation of of Mr.
Ilealy, and very brilliant prospects are
opening before him."
METHODIST PROTESTANT C
The Slave Question.—ln consequence of
the action of the late General Conference
of the Methodist Protestlint Church on the
slave question, a number of the members
of the Cincinnati, Batavia and,Buford cir
cuits, held a convention on the 20th ult.,
at which resolutions were unanimously a
d tpted, disapproving the action of the con
ti:rencit on said question; recommending
to the quarterly conference of the several
circuits and stations of the Ohio annual
conference to take into consideration the
propriety of withdrawing fellowship from
the slaveholding portion of the church, and
to instruct the delegates to the next annual
conference accordingly. They also resolv
ed that in ease the Ohio conference refused
to withdraw, they would withdraw them
selves.
TROUBLE. AMONG TILE INDIANS.—Some
apprehensions appear to be entertained
that an attack will be made on Fort Shell
ing by the Chippewas, for the purpose of
recovering two Sion* Indians, in custody
there on a charge of killing a Chippewa.—
The two men had been given up for trial,
and the friends of the murdered man were
clamorous to 1.1. et possession of them that
they Might inflict sumwary veng eance.—
There was one company of U. S. troops
at the fort, comprising 60 men.
