INCIDENTS OF THE WAR Ac.
On Wednesday last, the first overland intelligence
from the Army of Occupation, for the list twenty days,
reached this place in safety. Three gentlemen who left
the cimp on Sunday evening, or rather Point Is i’ocl,
came in by tin? way of Padre Mind with despatches
horn lien. Taylor to Capt. Price, of the Rangers, anil 1
other*. Serious apprehensions for the safety of par
lies who left the camp to return here ovriland. more
than a fortnight since, and for others who left here for
the camp an equal length of time, are being entertain
ed by their relative* and friends. We trust, however,
that they will yet “turn up*’ safe and well.— Corpus

A Baltimore correspondent, in describing some in
cidents connected with the officers of General Taylor’s
army, and the great battles on the Rio Grande, thus
speak* of the personal appeartinco and intrepid charac
ter of Captain May, the bold dragoon :
‘•You have seen the personal description of Captain
May, given in a New Orleans paper. It scarcely comes
up to the man. He is over six feet high, wear* his
hair long, so that it nearly reaches hi* fvps ; his beard
falls belmv his sword heft, and his moustache is un
shorn. He is a splendid rider. It was this that first
attracted the attention of General Jackson, who, see
ing him galloping along the streets in Washington,
standing in hi stirrups, and presenting the personifi
cation of a knight of the ancient days of chivalry, st nt
for him. and cave him a commission of cornet. He
was in the Fioiida war, and many are the deeds of i
daring done there told of him. He rose rapidly to dis
tinction, and he owe* to his service in that war his
present commission of Captain. It w ill interest some
r>f your fair readers to hear that he was crossed in love
some years ago. Since that time he ha - never allowed
Lis hair or beard to be touched by a barber. Such is
the story told of him. I have seen a letter from the
camp at Matamorn*. with a sketch of ‘Captain May
making hi* charge.’ It i* a most spirit and and life-like
thing. The Mexican batteric* are nt work, carrying
instruct on into the ranks of the Americans ; the second
platoon of the cavalry ha* been swept down ; their

The only political news of importance which we
gather from theae gentlemen i§ that Marjtlan and

former revolutions.
From Mr. Parrott we learn that he met the news of 1

lieve that a basis for tbe settlement of the Oregon ques

President—and without deciding on it himself, he laid
it before tbe. Senate for their advice, and Honour says
they have acted favorably on it, by a vote nl 38 to I>
another says, there was but seven votes in opposition.
The following items we, gather from the papers
which comprises the substance of all the reports.
From a Corretpomlrnl of thr MlUrdgrriHt Recorder.
” Washington, >J o’clock) P. At. >
June 10, 1840. I
| have just learned from a reliable source, that the
British Minister has submitted lo our Government the
ulriiuMtlm of his (lot eminent, in relation in the Oregon
dispute: which is to fix the boundary on lln* 49th paral
lel of north latitudo ms the permniiont boundary—the

flic .Senate (in secret session) for their advice, and thev
have, by a two-thirds majority, advised an accession to
the proposition. So that we are no longer in danger of

may now look lo the lo3* of upper California a* certain i
ns if it w.’re engraven on adamant with the point of a j
diamond.”
“ Thmrtdity Evening, 11 ill June.
‘‘The injunction of secrecy has not been removed;
from tbe proceedings on thi* Oregon affair, but there is 1
no doubt of the correctness of my information.”
The Washington Union of the 12th, (the official or
gan of the Government,) has the following significant
paragraph, which amounts almost to nn official an- I
nouncement of the correctne-e of the report copied from I
the American Mr. Ritchie loves mastery, however :
“ Rumers. — Ii i* rumored •.'•er this city, though we •

“ We understand that tha Senate adjourned ever till
Mondav.”
The opening <<f the Macon and W'ttcrn Pail Hoad
and a few thoughts connected with the new stale
of things thereby introduced.
The long and anxiously looked for time is at hand,
when our communication with the W estern & Atlant
ic Rail Road will be opened, Tbe Macon & Western
Rail Road is being completed with all the rapidity that
labor, strongly sinewed by capital can accomplish.—
In sixty days this noble work will be done, and aP
along the track from Macon to Atlanta, will be exbib
it and the astonishing evidences of business and trade
which steum, the mister agent of the world, never
fails to call into vigorous operation.
For this consummation, o long and so devoutly
wished, we ate under weighty obligations to the stock
holder in the new company, who have invested their
capital in the enterprize. CoiHrary to tho narrow
prejudice* of small minded people, our gratitude is the
more due to the stockholders, because many of th. m
have brought their capital from a distance to accom
plish for us, what we would in vain have essayed to
accomplibh for ourselves. Uur thanks are due 100, to
A. ISoody, under whose energetic direction tho wcik
of construction slid reconstruction has so rapidly pro
gressed. And let us vote an ovu'ion to the PresiJent
of the Company, that a'coinpiisht-d geutlemun and
Stirling business wi tn, Capt. Daniel Tyler, wh > has so
soon, a* if by the wand of a magician, elicited the
new order of tilings fmm the chaotic state in which
he found the ufiatrs ol the old .Monroe Rail Road
Company’.
The completion of the Macon Western Rail
Road will be an auspicious result to Macon, to tbe
stockholders in the new company, and U> the Siam > f
Georgia. To Macon, because a destiny is averted
which would inevitably have been hors, if this Road
bad failed; to tbe stockholders, becouse lb • day of beir
gulden anticipations is near, when itie profile on their
investment will roll into their treasury ; and to the
State of Georgia, because the permanency of her no
ble system of Internal Improvement is secured. Had
the Monrue Hail lloaJ proved a failure, the whole sys
tem of iho Stale works would have inevitably peiiah
ed. Our Bt*to pride, the commercial intereMeol Ba
vannub, Macon ami Columbus, and the voice of the
tax paying citizens, would have voted the Western &
Atlantic Kail Koad to demolition, rather than it should
have been made exclusively to foster and enrich the
seaport of a sistei Stale. 11l this view, even our rival
Rail Road interests should nJuice in the present slate
ol things.
Citnaideiing the near and immediate completion of
the Macon At Western Rail RoaJ, the question of a
branch road, connecting it with ihv Gulf waters, be
comes one of great impoitance. It has been whisper
ed that an union of the Hamburgh A. Charleston and
all the Georgia Rail Hoad Conrpanies is contemplated
Tor the purpose of building this branch. If so, it is a
happy ides, and should he carried into execution.—
Buih o comhin *lion will insure the building of the
branch at an early day, and will give strength and
power to the internal improvement party in Georgia,
by merging into a common interest the sectional and
local questions tl.at have heretofore arrayed the dilfer- j
out companies in rival hostility; Let such an arrange,
ment be made, and our connection with the Gulf
stream# by Rail Road will be certain and easy. Out
opinion is, that the branch ►lioulJ he constructed hum
Uarnesvllle to Columbus, and that the Montgomery
and Weal Point Road ahould deflect from its piceeht
direction to Gnerd. The large amount of business
which Colttoibua will readily furnish to the branch
road, should ol itself he decisive of the question.—
We trust that negotiations wi'lb# set on foot at ur.ee,
1 to bring about s concert and co-operation ol eur Rail I
Road Compantrv,for this important purp-wo.
Wo coma now to rons Jar what we mainly had in
view in penning title hortitd Jttiefo, *ilo the new bt
nets relation# ihat will ba crea'ed by the opeuiog tJ
the Macon A Western Hail Road, n*l the policy ol
our merchants in relation thereto. Few .*{ our peo
’ pie have had thvir minds prnpsily turned to this sub
ject —its I npoitsms, it** espsnsivrness, its itnmen-e
ramifications have escaped their notice. Anew. and
un essentially different trade will he opened to Mceeq
t-y the completion of the Macon Ac Western Rail Road
Heretofore our trade has been almost exclusively con.
necled with the cotton business; hcreafic- it will ern*
I bince nn illimitable field of human production. Our
, Cherokee region will be thrown open to us- the rich
i vaheys ol i enuesaee will be brought close to our mart,
and in a sets years, from the teeming Ims m of the
great Valley of the Mississippi, shall flow in upon U 9
the countless, exhaust less specie* of produce that now
go down the great father of rivers to the Crescent City.
Ihe situation of M icon i.* highly advantageous to
profit by such a tiailo. Below us la the south-west’
is a fine cotton belt, w ithin which, more anti more, the
laboui of tbe State will be compressed for grow ing our
great staple. VV bile the fertility of that region of the
State will remunerate tbe planter handsomely in rot
ton growing, ho will look lo Macon, ah bis neso si
maikei, to be supplied with Western produce, lit re,
then, ivill be the depot f t supplying all South-Wesivm
Georgia and Florida with bagging, tope, flour, bacon,
&c.
But to realize the benefits thus within our
our merchants have a work to perform. They should
at once establish busineM connexions with Cherokee!
and Trnnessep, and into every i ook and corner of,
these regions push their ur-quaintance. Being farming
distri ts, the trade ol Cherokee and Tennessee will ,
partake much of the barter character, winch, by the
way, h* ever been the greatest source of mercantile
wealth. ‘{ e corn, flour, bacon, leathers, beeswax,
hides, sod otuer articles of domestic production, which
the merchndr in these regions will exchange for good:*
bought in this market, will be readily convertible inU
cash, if not here, by shipment to larger markets. —
Charleston and Augusta are actively engaged in se
curing this trade. Merchants from these cities, or
their accredited agents, are daily traversing every purl
of (bat interesting and lovely region, soliciting trade,
making acquaintance*, and securing customers. And
what are the Savannah and Macon merchants doing at
this important juncture? Supinely folding then
arms, we fear, or dolefully, os i* their custom, counting
their eternally recunieg losses on cotton. Surely Sa
vannah and Macon will put forth an eflort, at least t<.
share with their rival cities the rich trade which wrl
be soon opened to thorn. We appeal to the merchant
of Savannah and Macon to turn their attention to this
matter. J,et them go lo the up country and spend
their summer months, instead of wasting their mof.ev
and time at fashionable hotels and watering places at
tbe North, anJ our worj for it, they will be richly ;
recompensed by a large increase of business, and the
accumulation of unipie fin tune*.
JWucon A Western fttiil Roud,
i his important work i* now nearly completed. It
i? confidently expected to commence running passen
ger tars on tbe first of July to Griffin, and by tbe first
ot August to Atlanta. Ooe new locomotive for freight
baa arrived, which is of tho largest and finest tla,
two other* are irr Savannah, and two more on llitir
way. These, with those already on hand, will make
an ample motive power far the road. 7'wo passenger
curs, calculated for sixty passengers each, have airived,
and are on the track. They are of the most finished
and splendid workmanship; and are said (by those
qualified tojnde) not surpassed by any in the United
•Stales. Tlit.y belter represent splendid parlors, bung
with rich draaperv and covered with crimson cushions,
than what we have heretofore known as travelling ve
hicles. Two more fifty-passenger cs r s arc on their

We understand that freights and fare for travellers
will be made as low as p acticabic, and lower than ha*
usually been charged on Southern roads. The con

This affiair has resulted pretty much a* might have
been anticipated. The charges came with h hud grace
from Mr. lugersoll, in eve y respect. It was am* *i
wanton and malicious attack on tbe character f hr,
W ebster, and the mere suggestion o* v vh, etf n

ni< ntß necessary to investigitc ttie truth or error of the
charges; and we copy tbe following from tbe con
cluding part of their report. The committee signing
the report, arc Bamuel T. Vinton, Jefferson Davis,
Daniel P. King n.d Seaborn Jones. Mr. Brinkerboff
(Dem.) did not sign the report.
•• 7'foc committee d*eoi any eommenis on the obov.-
facts connected with this charge unnecessary. In
their np-nion there is no proof in relation to niiy of
the charges o impeach Mr. Webster's integrity, or the
purity of bis motives in the di.-cliarge of the duties ot j
of hi* office. ‘The vaiuo of this opinion i* perhaps o j
some extent enhanced by the fact that, in theii inves- j
ligation, the committee, in ohm rvance of the usa,e in !
similar cases, hive taken the testimony without nonce
to him, in lih absence, without communication with
him, or explanation from him. In conclusion, th>y
beg permission (o rent irk that their investigation has
brought out facts (which are embodied in the testimo
ny > connected with the foieign relations of the coun

| bid. On this subject they entirely concur with the
President of the United Mates, in his views so fully
and strongly enforced by him in l is message at in**
present session, in answer to a resolution of tbe House
requesting a communication to it of the same facts
that are embodied hi the testimony taken by the com
mittee, and which, for reasons then assigned, he de
clined to communicate or make public, except with a
view to an impeachment, nnd to furnish tho proof
necessa y to attain the great ends of public justice.—
He expressed tbe opinion that, even m that Cae, the
1 House should adopt all wise precautions to prevent tbe
uunectsstry exposure of rna'ters, the publication of
, which might injuriously aIK ct the public interest. No
disNtnt from tbe views ol that mestage was expressed
by the House. ‘l’he committee, therefore, think that

uiidcstaudnig, both on the putt of the President and
of the House, that they would h - niado public ollly in
the event of an impeachment, and ot ihrir Vmu

Both, we think, are designed far “the shelf ” hereafier*

“ Your letter of this date, received at about fi P.

‘route much talk about. But it has fallen into the
