not have left in his army more than about

to a man. Of the seven regiments he says
not a company will remain. Ii
Santa Anna's army was entirely disper

ME VOLUNTEERS IN ME:xteo.—From
all we can learn, says the N. 0. Picayune,
the Washington* Union will be grievously
disappointed in respectto the renewal of
their engagements, by many of the volun
teers, whose term of service is about to ex
pire.
It is not supposed here, that a single
regiment can be formed out of the twelve ;
month's men now in Mexico. • The vol-
unteers who won the glorious battle of Bu-
ena Vista, are on their way home. One
of the Kentucky regiments is already at ;
the Bra,zos. Col. Jefferson Davis' regi-
ment'will soon be there, and die Illinois
and Indiana troops will follow. We learn ;
from the officers and men, that there is no ;
disposition to re-enlist. The accounts
from Gen. Scoilt's column are as unsatis
factory. The determination to return
homtras soon as their enlistments expire,
is universal. _The officers are as little de
sirous
as the men of remaining in service ;
so that the whole of Gen. Taylor's Buena
Vista army, with the. exception of a few
regulars, and a large portion of Gen. Scott's,
will shortly leave the field. The reason
for this universal desire to quit the service
has been explained to ns. The men of
Monterey and Buena Vista
,assert, and
with good reason, that the laurels that have
been won:by them, have been garnered by
the government to decorate other brows.—
They say, and with truth, that no valor,
no sacrifice, no victories ut theirs, can en
sure their promotion, or protect them
from being overslaughed by inexperien-.:
ced officers, and subject to the command
of political appointees. The 2,,d Kentucky
regiment returns without its colonel or
lieutenant colonel : the,lst Mississippi will
bring., home its colonel and lieutenant
colonel upon litters; the Illinois troops
leave the galltint H ardin where he fell,
and Col. Yell comes back no more at
the head of the men from Arkansas. The
noble regiments have melted away. under
.the services of a campaign in which, if
they have not won the lasting gratitude of
their countrymen, }hey have won notbing.
THE TROPHIES OF WAR
Are thus described in a letter from ,Vera Cruz to
the Auburn Advertiser. The writer presents tru
ly, and without exaggeration, one of those scenes
in the progress of war which Gen. Taylor says,
are "enough to till the whole land with mourning."
"Never had I beheld such destruction of
property. Scarcely a house did I pass
that did not show some great rent diade by
the bursting of our bomb shells. At almost
every house at •which I paused to examine
the destruction occasioned by these dread
ful messengers of death, some one of the
family (if the house did not happen to be
deserted) would come to the door, and, in
viting:fne to enter, point out her property
destroyed, and with a pitiful sigh, exclaim,
"La libmba!—la bomba rithe bomb ! the
bomb !] My heart ached for the poor
creatures.
"During my perigrinations, I came to a
lofty and noble mansion in which a terrible
bomb had exploded, and laid the whole
front of the house in ruins. While' I was
examining the woeful havoc created, a
beautiful girl of some seventeen came to
door, and invited me into the house. She
pointed to the furniture of the ir4usion torn
into fragments, and the piles of rubbish ly
ing around, and informed me, with her
beautiful eyes filled with tears, that the
bomb had destroyed her father, mother,
brother and two little sisters, and that she
was now left alone in the world alone !-
0 war! war! 7 —whocan tell thy horrors!—
Who can picture thy deformities
"During the afternoon, I visited the hos
pital. Here lay upon truckle beds the
mangled creatures who had been wounded.
during the bombardment. In one corner
was a poor, decrepid, bed-ridden woman,
her head.white with the sorrows of seven
ty years. One of her withered arms had
had been blown off by a fragment of a shell.
In another place might seen mangled crea
tures of both sexes, bruised and disfigured
by the falling of the houses, and bursting
of the shells. On the stone iltror lay a
little child in a complete state of nudity,
with one of its poor legs cut off just above
the knee! The apartment was filled with
flies, that seemed to delight in the agonies
of the miserable creatures over whom they
lhoyel'ed, and the moans were heart rending.
PI, went about from cot to cot,'and at
tempted to condole with the sufferers, by
whom I was invariably greeted with a
kind smile. Not, even this abode of
wretchedness had been exempt from the
accursed scourge of war ! A bomb had
descended through the roof, and after land
ing on the floor exploded, sending some
twenty already mangled wretches to the
"sleep that knows no waking."
"In the course of the afternoon, the army
tocik possession of the city of Vera Cruz,
and the streets were thronged with our
troops. After visiting every thing worthy
of note, at sunset I returned on board, hav
ing received a lesson in the horrors of war
which I shall not soon forget.",
A long and deeply interesting actount, in de
tail, of the great battle of Buena Vista, from the
pen of one of the Arkansas officers, appears in the
Little Rock Gazette. The writer, alter a vivid
sketCh of the scenes on the battle-field during
thosertwp days oftfearful carnage, says:
"No man living couldJia won the bat
tle, but . General TAYLOR. His presence
gave confidenCe to the men. While he
sat there unconcerned on his white horse, 'a
target for the'l4lls and yet unhurt. every
man felt likollay when he Said to his men
it the glomniest moment: "Men the day
,we been defeated, not one man in ten
would have reached the Rio Grande. How
many homes and hearths would have been
made desolate—how much misery and ru
in, caused by its insane acts, si 4 ould have
drawn.down legions qr,,,purses, loud and
deep, on the Adininistratton's imbecile
head!"
INTENDED RISING OF THE MEXlCANg.—Let
tax from Mexico state that plans were laid be
fore the bottle of Bucha Vista for ageneral rising
of the Mexicans in the captured places, to act in
concert with Santa Anna's strong cavalry force,
after the laiter had dijcutcd Gen. Taylor. A let
ter from Matamoras, from a cucumber of the Mas- .
sachusetts regiment, says:
"The wife of a Mexican who was con
cerned in the affair disclosed a w days
ago that a list of eighty Americans, resi
ding here, had been made out, and they,
were to be massacred in cold blood. .1
had this from Capt. Shannon, whose name
was third on the list."
From the Alexandria Gazette.
'FITE "CHURCH" PROPERTY IN MEXICO
\Ve have. another move on the chess
hoard of war. The MEXICAN CfIUCII is at
last brought on the lapis, and that, too, in
an imposing manner. The "Union," the
government official organ, in an article
which We regard as sem i-official,com ments
on the fact that the Roman Catholic Church
in Mexico has volunteered to supply funds
to the Mexicans for the prosecution of the
war, and bitterly remarks of the Catholics
of rlexico, that "it is for their own special
political purposes—to retain their vast pos
sessions, windy impoverish the nation--
to sustain their own hierarchy, which lords
it over the people—to preserve their pow
er, which weighs
.down the resi„, of the
colnintluity into the slough of ignorance
and, slavery—that they are thus solicitous
and active." ."It says.the U
nion,"for the mammon of unrighteousness
—not for the welfare of souls—which in
spires and animates the Catholics of Mex
ico."
With this MAsirEsTo o - against the RELI
GION of Mexico, the Government organ
declares that, under the present aspects of
the case, "it may become a matter of grave
consideration, if the Ohm - Eh couti noes to
oppose a peace and furnish the fuel of war,
whether the immense revenues of the
Church in Mexico shall he left untouched
—whether they shall be suffered to remain
at the disposal of the enemy, and to be ap
plied to sustain the war against us—wheth
er justice and policy de not equally dieilite
that they should at least be SEQUESTERED,
during the continuance of the war, as a le
gitimate means of cutting off the enemy's
supplies."
The Government organ then goes on to
suggest that hereafter arrangements may be
made between between Mexico and the U.
States, by which the two nations could a
gree "that reciprocal stipulations should be
made for the free and unrestricted enjoy
ment of religious liberty - within the terri
tories of both countries. "'
We submit the abotie, for the present,
Without comment.
SANTA ANNA ' S TRA VE LIM N CARRIAGE.
—I informed you the other day that 1 had
a story to tell of Santa Anna and his trav
elling carriage. In his great haste to leave
it, he went off without taking any of his
effects—a small writint , case only was found
broken open, from which he had evidently
taken a feW papers of great importance ;
but the majority of his effects—his silver
plate, his paper, his money—all were
there in good condition. Two of our offi
cers entered the coach, and what did they
find, after rummaging,about,buf.a most ex
cellent dinner, together with delieious wine
' and highly flavored cigars. To say that
I they did not sit themselves comfortably
,down •en his richly cushioned seats, par-
I take of his sumptuous dinner, wash it
down with his delicious wine, and finish
it off•with his highly flavored cigars, would
be departing farther from the truth than I
care about doing just now The names of
the officer were Capts. Williams and M'-
' Kinstry, and the dinner was a perfct wind
fall after a hard morning's work .without
eating, and with slim prospects ahead for
food. A party of dragon officers, some
two or three weeks, also had their own
fun near Santa Anna's estate of Mango de
Clavo. While hunting about the premises,
they stumbled upon the building where he
kept his fighting chickens. Those well
informed upon the subject tell me there
was a groat deal of
. cock-fighting in that
immediate section for a day or two, and
that one particular fight created great ex
citement. A. fierce looking rooster which
they called Gen. Taylor—not so large as
some, but with game sticking out all over
him—was pitted against a long, gangling
chicken that they gave his owner's name
—a heavy, but clumsy bird, with but little
fight in him. 'Well, Gen. Taylor and San
ta Anna, as represented by the chickens
of the latter, were set' upon one another;
and after a' few heavy hits from the for
mer, the latter "vamosed" out of the fight
as fast as his two legs would carry him,
leaving Gen. Taylor's representative upon
the ground crowing;right lustily. Such
are some of the accidents that have befallen
the "Hero of Tampico." ! r—Cor. of .N. 0.

DEATH FROM WHISKEY.-At N. York'
on Monday, a woman named Margaret .
Ryan, paid the forfeit of her life for her de
votion to whiskey. Whilst under the in
fluence of powerful potaiions she indulged
in a smoke; the fire fell from her pipe and
commuriiiwted to het clothes, by which
she was,bflined to death. :t
VOLUNTEERS FROM SWITZERLAND. -
ThO war in Mexico has not only aroused
the military enthusiasm of our own citi
zens, but it seems that numbers of Europe
ans.'are offering their serviCes , to the United
States Government. The German Schoell
post's corresptindent in Basle, Switzerland,
says eight hundred young and hardy men,
among whom are some of the most distin
guished officers in the Swiss service, have
offered their services to the United States
Government,,through the American Con
sul at Basle. They will engage to serve
during the war, or for five or ten years, anti
and afterwards form themselves into a mil
tary colony in California, up - on the plan of
colonies which England amid Russia have,
in several of their dominions. Several of
these volunteers have families, and are
thost respectably connected.
DUTIES COLLECTED AT VERA CRUZ.-
The Mexican sea ports are already contri
buting to the U. S. Treasury, lii five
days the revenue officers collected $lOO,-
000 at Vera Cruz.
MAJOR SUM:ER.—Major Sunnier, who
led the rifles at Cerro Gordo, in the attack
of the 10th, on the enemy's advanced po
sition, made a very narrow escape. in the
charge, he was struck on the head by
a musket bullet. The bullet was flattened
to the thinness of a dime, and retained on
its surface the print of the Major's hair,
and yet, strange to say, excepting the sev
erance of au artery, he -sustained no seri
ous injury. The artery was taken up,
and, at the last accounts, the 'Major was
doing well. This excellent officer— ac
counted one of the best tacticians and dis
ciplinarians in the army—may certainly
felicitate himself on the strength of his
craniological defences.
'l'nAt• PAss.--It is said that the Mexi
can Congress have passed the highest kind
of a compliment upon their friend and al
ly, laines K. Polk, by printing the Pass,
which was given to Sank; .linnet, in large
and brilliant letters, and placing it in the
hall of the Mexican Congress as a memen
to of the President's secret friendship tor
their cause. We have some hope that Gen.
when lie reaches the Halls of the
Montezumas, will . secure this Pass as a
trophy of War. It would be most an ex
cellent- contribution to one of the rooms of
the Smithsonian •lustitute.
LATE•' FROM EUROPE-ARRIVAL Or•
- THE BRITA.NNIA.
The steamier Britannia arrived at Boston
on Sunday, - with 15 days later dates from-
Europe. The, news is not of much gene
ral importance. Emigration to this coun
try is still goi i ng on. A few week: since,
about 2000 en igrants sailed from4lamburg
for N. York. In some parts of Europe
emigration is in progress to an alarming ex
tent, whole villages and districts being
threatened with depopulation.
The latest accounts from Ireland repre
sent the mortal career of the Lord Lieuten
ant as rapidly drawing to a close. O'Con
nell is sinking rapidly. The accounts by
medium of the French papers show that
his end is approaching.
The weather had, of late, undergone a
favorable chfinge, and vegetation is making
rapid progress. ,The accounts of the wheat
and oats crops are highly encouraging, and
eyes in regard to potatoes very favorable
accounts are received. The rut, however,
had made its appearance at Belfast.
ITALY.—A most diabolical plot to mur
der the Pope has been discovered. It was
first found out by the French Ambassador.
He revealed the names of the conspirators
to the Pope. Their intention was to as
sasSinate him while giving'audience tone
who was appointed to kill hint. A Capu
chin priest presented hint for the audience
of the Pope. Ilis holiness requested his
name, which was given, but before being
admitted the Pope loulted over the list of
conspirators' and found the name of the Ca
puchin. He immediately summoned car
binrers, who, on the capuchin's entrance,
seized him, found he had a brace of/pistols
and a poisoned dagger about his person.—
The capuchin was conveyed to prison, and
many arrests were made.
ALGIERS.—The rumor of the submiSsion
of Rabyles is confirmed by a telegraphic
of the 20th of April. The mountaineers
acknowledged themselves subjects of
France, and will pay tribute, which shall
be remitted to Algiers.
LIBERATION OF SLAVES.—We copy the fol
lowing from the Red River (La.) Republican of
the 17th ultimo :
A case involving the freedom of six ne
plies, a woman and five children, came up
before the District Court of this parish 'on
Wednesday last. It is only in a case of
this nature that a slave can be a party to a
suit in our court, and considerable interest
was felt in it. The evidence being clear
ly in their favor was submitted to the jury
without argument, who at once gave them
a verdict.
The facts of the case were these. The
woman with her children were in 1807
slaves in Kentucky, from which State they
were taken to the territory of Indiana,
where they were indentured to serve twen
ty years, the laws of the territory prohib
iting slavery for a longey period. Subse
quently they were soldand their new own
ner brought them, to Mississippi and
a
gain sold them as .slaves for life to the
faller of the present, or, more properly,
late owner here. One of the family (a boy)
was left behind4n Kentucky, and sued for
and recovered MS freedom there some
yeah ago, since which time he has been
running as a steuard on a boat. Not long
since, while. at our landing, he fell into
conversation. with a boy belonging here
whom he soon discovered 'to be his broth
er.• He informed him of the fact of the
family being free, and. at once took the
steps that have eventuated in establishing
it.

short time ago, gaVe a vial of the Worm Specific
to a child and in a short time upwards of 65
worms were expelled.
Dr. A. P. ory ell certifies that he has frequent

varying success, it never failing to expel from 25
to 150 worms.
A child of mine passed one-third of a pint of
worms with one vial ,of Dr..M . Lane's Worm Sr.e

On Saturday Feb. 7. 1815, Mr. James Richard.
son called at the office of J. Kidd & Co. and made
the following statement :
A child of mine had been very sick for some
ten days; we had given her purgative medicine,
but it had done uo good. One orour neighbors
came in and said that it was worms that was de
stroying, the childoind at the same time spoke of
the wonderful effects she had witnessed from using
Dr. M*Lane's Worm Specific in that neighborhood.
We procured a vial, gave one teaspoonful, when
the child discharged 42 large worms. I gave a
nother teaspoonlul, which' brought away 46 more,
in all 88 worms. As a duty I owe to you and the
communitS , I freely make known these factiL My
child is now well. What is very temarkable, the
Worm Specific expelled the wprins alive in about
four hours after I gave the medicine.

rirThe Philadelphia Ledgers has a correspon
dent at Washington City, who, by his familiarity
with the views and purposes of the Adininistra-
Lion, has more than 'once given abundant evi
dence of his being'at least stun the "throne."—
And if the writer cannot claim credit nt times
for too much prudence in his disclosures, he can
not at least be charged with wanting in zeal in de
fending the blunders and misdeebtf the Admin
instalion. The following singular and significant
paragraphs occur in ,one of his letters written on
the 13th inst., to which the eareltd attention of the
realer is invited.
WASH) NOTON, MAT 13, 1847.
"With the defeat Of SANTA ANNA my
hope of peace is considerably diminished ;
for, however strongly the opposition press
may have railed against what it is pleased
to call "the passport granted to that chief,'
certain it is that 'our best hopes of peace
rested on him, ;mil that nothing but the im
possibility of sustaining himself in Mexico
has thus far baffled his efforts to make the
Congress agree to the proposition of our .
Government to send commissioners.
' "The tone of his warlike despatches
was, from the commencement, forced up
on him by the circumstances
. in
was placed, and PERFECTLY usumtsTooo
HERE Dv THE PRESIDENT AND lIISNCABI
NET. Santa Anna's only hope of su& , ess
consisted in first satisfying the national ‘'',a
nity of his countrymen, or availing hin'o,
self of some lucky accident to turn fona
moment the thrtunes of war, and to improv
that moment for co4cluding a peace. lit ,
came- veiw near such a chance at 111101(.4
Vithi, but the battle; of Cerro Gordo has
an end to his prospects, and, with
them, to our caleufrilions of peace from that,
quarter."
"Our best hopris of peace," says this apolor : :ist
•
of the Adminnttration, "rested on him," (Onto
,A na )--his4novements have been "perseefity un
.derstood tY the President and his Cabinet:'----Bue

us, that the Moixican chieftain should not only be
}laced at the 'seed of the Mexican army, but that
easy ...; 1 / 4 etory should be secured fol. him over
our ow ‘troops ! Are we to find in this a .clue to
" t h"th r tular policy of the Administration in send
ing 'Gin. Taylor, with a mere handful of men in
to the of an enemy's country, and pushing
foiward apparently into the jaws of destruc
t ). t i o 7 f . tinder the pain of official censures and dentin•
policy so singular as to have excited
the surprise of the country and called forth the
severest strictures I Arc we to understand by
this why an army of int;re than 20,000 well drill
ed Mexican soldiers were allowed to meet Gen.
TAT tea at Buena Vista with less than 5000 men ?
Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo have put an end to
the "calculations" of the . Administration ! Were
. the triumphs of our arms at Buena Vista and Cer
ro Gordo, achieved by the almost unparalleled he
roism of the bravo men composing our Rifle ar
mies, so unexpected to Mr. Polk and his official ad
: visers, as to have dashed all their hopes, and put-an.
end to all their "calculations" based on the intrigue
with Santa Anna? Pregnant questions, these—
questions which, for the honor of the country
and the reputation of its rulers, should be promptly,
explicitly answered.
rpm. Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune understands, ft am official sources, that
if all the claims accruing thus far during the war
were to be immediately liquidated, the sum of one
HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS would
be required, including of course the regular expen
ses (4 the army.
L'OThe Marlboro' (Md.) Gazette stales that no
inconsiderable destitution exists among the poor
• of Prince George's county. A wealthy clergyman
i., in the lower part of the county has been making
tir collections to buy corn for the suffering poor" in
his parish.
•P
At a meeting of the Directors 'of the 'Baltimore
v 4 : Ohio Railroad, held on Monday last, the propo
sitions of the Pittsburg and M'Connellsville Com.
pany were rejected by a decided vote. This, we
resume, puts an end to the negotiations between
e two companies.

The Slave Case--Impartant Legal
Opinion:
Cif The. Slave case, u hick has excited so much
interest in Philadelphia, has at length been deci
ded by the Governor's refusing to give up the par
ty claimed. Gov. SUUNK laid before the Attor
ney General of the State, 'B. CuAmerevra, Esq.,
for his opinion of the law in the case, the facts in
relation to an application by the Governor of Ma
ryland to the Governor of this State under the 4th
article of the Constitution of the United States, and
the Act of Congress of the 13th PCbinary, 1793,
requesting the apprehension and delivery, as fugi
tives from justice, of Jake Mack and Ellen fneb
man, slaves for life, who stand indicted under e
law of Maryland of the crime of running away and
escaping from that State into the State of Penn
sylvania, against the will and consent of their
masters and owners, with a view to escape from
the servitude of their said masters or owners.
Attorney General CIIAXPNEYS, after due con
sideration, arrives a. the conclusion that fugitives
from service or labor are not embraced, and can
not be demanded under that clause of the Constitu
tion which provides for delivering up fugitives
from justice. That the rightfuVemedy of the ow
ner is under that clause of the Constitution and
the Act of Congress of 1793, which provide for
delivering up persons held to service or labor, and
that no act of legislation can evade, alter, abridge
or enlarge the provisions and remedies contained
in the Constitution and laws of the United States
relating to this subject. This opinion, the Gover
nor says; Seems 10 him to be sustained by the his
tory of the Federal •Government, and the exposi
tion of that part of the• Constitution now under
consideration, made contemporaneously with its a
doption, as well as by the current of our judicial
decisions, especially by that of the Supreme Court
of the United States, in the case of Prigg versus
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, reported in
16 Peters', page 539. The Governor, therefore,
declined issuing the warrant for the arrest,
Official from Gen. Scott.
:TV (h,n. Scott has forwarded to the War De
partment a second Despatxth in relation to the bat
tle of Cerro Gordo, together with full reports of the
Oilieers commanding the several divisions during
the day. The Commanding General bears the
highest testimony to the good conduct of all the
men engaged in the struggle, and the gallantry
with which they carried into execution the Orders
for storming and capturing the enemy:s works.—
Speaking of the result of the battle, Gen. Scott
sacs.
'""The route provCS - to have been com
plete—the. retreating army,,except a small
body of cavalrv, being dispersed and utter
ly disorganized. The immediate conse
quences have been our possession of this
important city, (Jalapa,) the abandonment
of the works and artillery at La lloya, the
next formidable passt between Vera Cruz
and the capital, and the prompt occupation
by Worth's divish n of the fortress of Pe
rote, (second only to San Juan de Ulloa,)
with its extensive armament of sixty-six
guns and mortars, and its large supplies of
materiel.
Our whole force present, in action and
reserve, was 8,500 ; the enemy is estima
ted at 12,000, or more. About 3,000 pris
oners, 4 or 5,000 stands of arms, and 43
pieces of artillery were taken. By the ac
companying return, I regret to find our loss
more severe than at first supposed, amount
ing in the two days to 33 officers and 308
men=in all 431, of whom 63 were killed.
The enemy's loss is computed ti be from
1000 to 1200."
The August Ihterebit.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of Tuesday says that
the temporary loan, made last winter, to meet the
deficit in the Treasury for the Februnay interest,
has all been paid, and that the prospect of being
able to meet the August Interest without resort to
ally expedient, is very promising. The different ,
counties arc manfully responding to the call of the
Sate Treasurer, and making exertions to sustain
the credit of the State. Cumberland county has
already paid a large share of her !late tax for the
present year.
ID-The wheat crop of Ohio, of which fears were
entertained a short time ago, promises, in conse
quence of recent line weather, more than an aver
age crop: The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette
says he passed, a few days ago, 'through the State
from Cincinnati to Cleaveland, and thence to Bea
ver, Pennsylvania, and although he noticed many
fields where a large portion had been whiter-killed,
yet taking into consideration the quantity in the
ground, the present promise is of a yield above an
average crop. Similar accounts come also front
other quarters, where recently the prospect of a
crop was poor.
Canals of this state appear to be do
ing an excellent business this season. The Dan
ville American, speaking. of that division, says
there is a constant stream of boats ; besides, many .
of the boats are now provided with extra hands
and horses, and run day and night. The revenue
of the State will be considerably increasad. The
collector at Northumberland informed us that the
tolls received at that place are much larger than
any previous year.
["rho Home Journal, published at New York
by Mortars & WILLIS, certainly stands formost
in the front rank of weekly papers of its class, com
bining the light and agreeable in Literature, with
lively comments upon passing events, in such a
manner as to make it a most pleasant companion
for an hour or two. Mr. WI Lira' contributions
have all the sparkle and vivacity for which his

states that a large wedding party, was poisoned in
Shelby county, Texas, including about GO persons!
Ten or twelveyere already dead, and it Was thoitght
15, or 2t vould die. The whole story reads
ratherPty.
The Army.
' I We have nothing additional from the army
by last night's Sothern mail. The Washington
Union gathers some items from letters received in
that city, which it gives to the public. The Union
says a gentleman at Vera Cruz, on the 4th inst.,
who had seen Santa Anna thirty-five or forty miles
from that city, on the Orizaba rjad, considered
him crazy. The same gentle Man, a short time be
fore at Puebla, heard it confidently said that her
citizens would send a deputation to Gen. Scott to
put themselves under his protection. The British
agent at Mexico, Mr. Bankhead, •it was reported,
had been requested to mediate, and open a coin
munication with the Americans to treat of peace.
These things are gathered from letters received in
Washington, and which the Union has seen.
!It is now generally conceded that Gen. SCOTT
will be compelled to surpend his inteiuled march
on the city of Mexico until reinforced. The terms
of enlistment of the twelve months volunteers ex
pires in June and July, and as they have already
made known their determination not to re enlist,
&ott's force will be reduced to about 5.000 men.
Gen. TA YLOR is at Buena Vista unable to move
for the same reason. The Washington Union
says that large reinferecments are now on their way
both for Scott and Taylor, intended to supply the
places of those whose terms of service will expire
shortly ; but they will be unable to reach either
point for some time, so that at least six or eight .
weeks will have been lost, which might otherwise
have been devoted to active operations.
Gen. Taylor's Opinion,
In a letter to the Hon. J. W. MILLER, U. S.
Senator from New Jersey, Gen. TArLon, speaking
of the revolutions in Mexico, says: "While these
intestine divisions prevent Mexico from putting
forth her strength in defensive war, it is much to
be feared that they will equally incapacitate her
for making peace."
'The New York Tribune gives a table of the
result of the recent Congressional elections, making
89 Whigs and 65 Locofocos. Of the Members to
be elected the Tribune gives the Whigs 32, and
the Locofocos 12—making the parties in the next
Congress stand 120 Whigs to 107 Locofocos.—
Whig majority 13. When Mr. Polk took his seat
lie had a majority of 70 in the House!

C" - -.k lire broke out in Pittsburg on the 16th
inst. which destroyed buildings covering about an
ground—loss estimated at 5125,000. '
"A GREAT Ivrv.:XTlox.”—An Irish sO1:7
dier was noticed.at Resaca de la Palma, in
the battle of the 9th of May last, perforTh-,,
ing prodigies of valor, and around his body
swathed a hulk as if he:had distributed the
contents of his knapsack about him for
more easy transportation. On he dashed
into the teeth of danger, and was among
the first who broke into the Mexican camp.
Here, while standing among a group of ,
comrades, some of them inquired what he
had wrapped around him.
"It is this !" says he—"Oh ! by St. Pa- 1
trick, but that's a great invention entirely
—didn't I walk into thim yeller raskils
withoUt the late apprehinsion ? for I had
my air-tight lifc-pr6erver blown up to its
full extinsion, and divil a one of their bul
lets could touch me."
At the battle of Waterloo the Duke of
Wellington took enough of cannon to make
a monument immortalizing him. Had
General Scott secured all the cannon which
he has taken in Mexico, and added them
together, a , similar monument of his suc
cesses could be piled up at Washington.
D~soIIACErUL ROW AT PITTS nVIt I; Min
ister Ailletlfrinn the Pulpit !—The Pittsburg Dis
patch contains the following account of a most
disgraceful scene in that city:
On Friday evening,duringa prayer meet
ing which was held in the Baptist Church,
on Sixth street, under the charge of the
Rev. Mr. Teasdale, a man named Black
burn and a number of other ''persons,
went to the church and walked up to the
pulpit, when Blackburn caught Mr. Teas
dale, and struck him two or three times,
and pulled him from the pulpit ; a general
rush was made, and a number of lights
ensued, during which the lights in the
church were put out. The police was.
aon brought to the scene, but no arrests
•were made.
TEN DOLLAU.S FINE FOR KISSINGI-A7
mong the indictments tried before the Sus
sex Oyer and Terminer last week, was
one against William Snyder, of Stillwater,
for an assault and battery on Miss Phebe
L. Allen, with intent to kiss. The offence
appeared by the testimony of the young
lady to have been committed 'against her
will. The Court charged the jury, that
this thing having been done against the
will of the young lady, it constituted an
assault and battery, of which, if they be
lieved the testimony, they must find the
defendant guilty, which they did, and the
Court imposed a fine of CO.—Newark

method of informing his old customers, in

of style and linish. Having made arrange

saying that no other establishment in the
country can compete with him, either in
beauty of patterns, durability of workman
ship, or cheapness of material. It is scarce
ly necessary to designate the different va 7

&c., &c., are always being made and kept
on hand, and it is only necessary, for
purchasers to order any and every' kind,
and they will promptly complied with.
