Owing to the difficulties ol the ground alter
leaviuglhe Marin, and before striking the Pres
quina Grande road, the division had only reach
ed six miles—in consequence <>l the delay in
making the route practicable lor an illery, which
service was executed by Captain S.mdeis—alfi
p. M , and was halted just «ilium the range of
a gun battery upon the summit ol an isolated
hill, called Loma de f tdepcndencia on
the ascent of which was the Bishop s Palace.—
Thence a reconnoisance was made, undercover
of detachments ol flays 1 exans, to the inter
section ot the Presquina Grande route, then in
our possession, with the Saltillo road. Phis ex
amination resulted in the conviction that the
grounds in our front and on our left, in advance,
constituted, at the same time the weak and the
strong points ot the enemy’s position, anti enter
ed mainly into the def-nees ot the city—the
weak point, because commanding the only lines
of retreat and ot supply in the direction of Sal
tillo, and controlling that in direction ot Prcs
quina Grande ; the strong point, because ol tlie
peculiarly detensive character ol the hills and
gorges, and of the very caretui and skidfill man
ner with which they had been tonified and
guarded. It was also clearly indicated that our
further advance would be strenuously resist
ed.
On the morning ot the 21st, the division was
put in motion, and with such formation as to
present the readiest order ot battle on any point
of assault. At (i o’clock the advance, consist
ing of Hay’s Texans, supported by the light
companies Ist brigade, tinder Cap'. C. !■’. Smith,
(both extended, as the valley widened or con
tracted,jclosely followed by Duncan’s light ar
tillery, and battalion, headsof columns,on turn
ing an angle of the mountain, at a hacienda
called San Jeronimo, came upon a strong force
of cavalry and infantry, mostly the former. A
conflict immediately ensued. The’l exans re
ceived the heavy charge of cavalry with their
unerring pities and usual gallantry; the light
companies opened a rapid and well-directed
fire ; Duncan’s battery was in action in one
minute, (promptly supported by a section of
Mackall’s,) delivering its fire over the heads of
our men. Ere the close ol the combat, which
lasted but fifteen minutes, the first brigade had
formed to the front, on the right and left, and de
livered its fire. The second brigade was held in
reserve, the ground not admitting of its deploy
ment. The enemy retiredin disorder,(leaving
on the ground one hundred killed and wound
ed ; among the former Don Juan N. Najira,
colonel ot the permanent regiment of lancers,)
upon the Saltillo road, and was closely pursued
until we got possession of the gorge, where all
the debouches from Monterey unite, whereby
the force just defeated, as also reinforcements
and supplies from that direction, were excluded
from entering tbecity. At this important point
the division was halted, and attention directed
toward the mountain forts which envelope the
city on its western and southern faces. Soon
discovering, however, that our position brought
us within effective range ofthe batteries, the
troops were advanced some eight hundred yards
luilher on the Saltillo road.
The examination thus far had manifested, be
sides th« importance of the positions, the im
practicability of any effective operation against
the city, until possessed of the exterior forts and
batteries. Independent, however, ot ulterior
objects, the occupation of these heights became
indispensable to the restoration ot our line of
communication with headquarters, necessarily
abandoned for the moment in order to secure
the gorges of the Saltillo road. At 12 M. a
force was detached under Captain C. F. Smith,
with orders to storm ihe batteries on the crest ot
the nearest hill, called Federation, and after ta
king that to carry the fort called Soldada, on the
ridge of the same height, retired about GOO
yards. The two effectually guarded the slopes
and roads in either valley, and consequently the
approaches to the city. The command consist
ed of four companies (K 2J, B 3d, and G and
H 4th artillery) of the artillery battalion, and
Green’s, McGowan,s, R. A. Gillespie’s, Chan
dler’s, Ballowe’s, and McCulloch’s companies
of Texan riflemen,funder MajorChevalier,act
ing in co-operation—in all abcut three hundred
effectives.
It was impossible to mask the movement of
the storming party. On approaching the base
ot the mountain, the guns of both batteries open
ed a plunging hre, and numerous light troops
were seen descending and arranging themselves
at favorable points on the slopes. Perceiving
these indicationsof determined resistance, Capt.
Miles was detached with the “th to support and
co-operate with the first party. In a short
lime the fire became general, the enemy gra
dually yielding and retiring up the rugged ac
clivity, and our men as steadily pursuing.
The appearance of heavv reinforcements on
the summit, and the cardinal importance ol the
operation demanding further support, the sth,
under Major Scott, and Blanchard’s company
of volunteers were immediately detached, ac
companied by Brigadier General Smith, who
was instructed to take direction in that quarter.
On reaching the advance parties, Gen. Smith
discovered that, under favor of the ground, he
could, by diverting a portion of the toice to the
right, and moving it obliquely up the hill, car
ry the Soldada simultaneously with the Fed
eration. He accordingly very judiciously point
ed, and accompanied the sth, 7th, and Blanch
ard’s company in that direction. Capt. Smith’s
eonjmand having most gallantly carried the first
object of attack, promptly turned the captured
gun—a nine-pounder—upon the second, and
moved on with his main body to participate in
the assault upon Soldada; which was carried
in gallant style by the forces under Scott, Miles,
Blanchard, and Hays, (whohad been detached
on special service, but who returned in time to
share with fifty ot his men in the first assault,
and to take a prominent part in the second,) the
whole directed by Gen. Smith.
At this point we secured another 9-pottnder,
and immediately both pieces were brought tobear
upon the Bishop's Palace, situated upon and
midway on the southern slope ot the hill Inde
pendenr.ia, a valley of only six hundred yards
intervening. We had now secured an impor
tant advantage, and yet but hall the work was
done. The possession of these heights only
mace the moreapparent the controlling impor
tance of those opposite and the necessity of oc
cupying the palace. A violent storm ensued,
and, night closing in, operations for the day
ceased. The troops had now been thirty-six
hours without food, and constantly taxed to the
utmost physical exertions. Such as could be
permitted slept with arms in hand, subjected to
a pelting storm, and without covering, till 3 A.
M., when they were aroused to carry the hill
I ndependencia.
Lieut. Col. Childs was assigned to lead this
storming party, consisting ot three companies,
I and G 4th, and A 3d, (artillery battalion;)
three companies Bth infantry, (A, B, and D,)
under Capt. Scriven, with two hundred Texan
rilemen, under Col. Hays and Lieut. Col.
Walker, (captain of rifles,) acting in co-opera
tion. The command moved at three, conducted
to its point ot ascent by Captain Sanders, mili
tary, and Lieut. Meade, topographical engi
neers. Favored by the weather, it reached by
dawn of day within about one hundred yards
ot the crest, in which position, among the clefts
ot rocks, a body of Ihe enemy had been station
ed the previous evening in apparent anticipa
tion of attack. The enemy’s retreating fire was
ineffectual, and not returned until Colonels
Child’s and Hay’s command had reached with
in a few yards ot the summit, when a well
directed and destructive fire followed by the
bayonets of the regulars and rush of the Texans
placed us in possession of the work. The can
non having been previously withdrawn, no im
pression could be made upon the massive walis
of the palace or its outworks without artillery,
except at enormous sacrifice.
Lieut. Roland, ot Duncan’s battery, was or
dered irom the main camp with a 12-pounder
Howitzer; and in two hours(aided by fifty men
from the line, under Captain Sanders, military
engineers, tor the purpose of selecting the route
least difficult) that enterprising officer had
his gun in position, having ascended an acclivi
ty as rugged as steep, between reven and eight
hundred feet, in two hours. A fire was imme
diately opened from the howitzer, covered by
Ihe epaulement of the captured battery, upon
the palace and its outworks—four hundred yards
distant—and soon produced a visible sensa
tion.
Meanwhile, to reinforce the position, the sth,
Maj. Scott, and Blanchard’s volunteers, had
been passed from the first heights, and reached
the second in time to participate in the opera
tions against the palace.
Alter many affairs of light troops and several
feints a heavy sortie was made, sustained by a
strong corps ot cavalry, tith desperate resolu
tion, to repossess the heights. Such a move had
been anticipated and prepared for. Lieut Col.
Child’s had advanced, under cover, two compa
nies of light troops undercommand ot Capt. Vin
ton, acting major, and judiciously drawn up the
main body of his command, flanked on the right
by Hays’and left by Walker’s Texans. The ene
my advanced boldy, was repulsed by one general
discharge from all arms, fled in confusion,
closely pressed by Childs and Hays, preceded by
ihe light troops under Vinton; and,* while they
fled past our troops, entered (he palace and fort.
In a lew moments the unpretending Hag of the
Union had replaced the gaudy standard ot
Mexico. The captured guns—one six-inch
Howitzer, one twelve, and two nine-pounder
brass guns, together with Duncan’s and Mac
kall's field batteries, which came up at a gallop,
were in lull and effective play upon the retiring
and confused masses that filled the street (of
which we had leading to the
nearest plaza, la ‘.apelta, also crowded with
troop?. At this moment the enemy’s loss was
heavy, f’he investment was now complete.—
Except the force necessary to hold the positions
on Independciuia and serve the guns, (shifted
to points whence the shot could be made to
reach the great plaza,) the division was now
concentrated around the palace, anil preparatit n
made to assault the citv on the following day,
or sooner, should the General-in-Chief either so
direct, or, tefore communication be Lail, renew
the assault from the opposite quarter. In ihe
mean time attention was directed to everv pro
vision our circumstances permitted to allevi
ate the condition of onr wcunded soldiers and
officers, to the decent interment ot the dead, not
omitting in either respect all that was due to
those of the enemy.
.About 10 A. M. on the 23d a heavy lire was
heard in the opposite quarter. Its magnitude
and continuance, as well as other circumstances,
did not permit a doubt that the General was
conducting a main attack, and that his orders
for my co-operation (having to travel a circuit
ol some six miles) had miscarried, or tailed to
reach me by means of the numerous cavalry ot
the enemy. Under these convictions the troops
were instantly ordered to commence an opera
tion which, it not otherwise directed, 1 design
ed to execute in part, under favor of the night.
Two columns ol attack were organized, to
move along the two principal stiects,- leading
from our position, indirection ot the great pla
za, composed ot light troops slightly extended,
with orders to mas* the men whenever practi
cable; avoid those points swept by the enemy's
artillery; to press on to the first plaza, Capella;
to get hold ot the ends cd streets beyond, then
enter the buildings, and by means ot picks and
bars break through the longitudinal sections ot
•bewails; woi k from house to house, and, as
cending to the roots, to place themselves upon
the same breast-height with the enemy. Light
artillery bv sectionsand pieces, under Duncan,
Roland, Mackall, Martin, Hays, irons, Clarke,
an I Curd, followed at suitable intervals, cover
ed by reserves to guard the pieces and the whole
opnation against the probable enterprises of
cavalry upon our lett. This was effectually
done bv seizing and commanding the head of
every cross street. The streets were, at differ
ent and well-chosen points, barricaded by heavy
masonry walls, with embrasures for one or
more guns, and in every instance well support
ed by cross batteries. These arrangements ot
defence gave to our operations at this moment
a complicated character, demanding much care
and precaution: bat the work went unsteadily,
simultaneously, and successfully. About the
time our assault commenced, the fire ceased
from our force in the opposite quarter. Disen
gaged on the cne side, the enemy was enabled
to shift men and guns to our quarter, as was
soon manifested by accumulation of fire. At
dark we had worked through the walls and
squares, and reached to within one block of the
gteat plaza, leaving a covered way in our rear
carried a large building which towered over the
principal defences, and during the night and
ensuing morning, crowned its roof with two
howitzers and a six-pounder. All things were
now prepared to renew the assault at dawn ot
day, when a flag was sent in, asking a momen
tary suspension ot fire, which led to the capitu
lation upon terms so honorable to our arms.
As the columns ot attack were moving from
the Palace hill, Major Munroe, chief of artille
ry, reached me with a ten-inch msrtar, which
was immediately advanced Io the plaza, Chapel,
put in position masked by the church wall, its
bed adjusted as rapidly as possible, and by sun
set opened upon the great square. At this pe
riod our troops had worked to within one square
ofthe plaza. The exact position ot our com
rades on the opposite side was not known, and
the distance of the position to be assailed from
the bomb battery but conjectural; eight hundred
yards was assumed, and fuze and charge regu
lated accordingly; the first shell tell a little
short of the point on which it was directed, and
beside our troops; a slight increase of the pro
jecting charge gave exact results. The whole
service was managed by Major Munroe most
admirably, and, combined with other operations,
exercised a decided influence upon the final re
sults. Early on the morning ot the 23d Major
Brown, artillery battalion, was dispatched with
a select command, and onesection ot Mackall’s
battery, under Lieut. Irons, to occupy the stone
mill and adjacent grounds, constituting, one
league in advance, the narrow gorge near St.
Catarina. The major took possession, repuls
ed the enemy’s picquets, and was preparing his
command to resist any attack, when lie receiv
ed my orders to rcttacehis steps, and form tl.e
main reserve to the assaulting columns. He
came up in good time and good order, and was
at once under fire.
On the 25th, in conformity with the articles
of capitulation, the citadel was taken posses
sion ofby a command consisting ol two compa
nies of each regiment, and one section of each
battery, second division. General Smith was
directed to lake command of this corps, and
conduct the ceremony, which duty he executed
with delicacy to the unhappy and humiliated
foe.
You will receive lists of captured munitions
of war; lists ot such as were surrendered have
already been handed in. It is a sourse ot high
gratification that we have been able to accom
plish such fortunate results with so moderate a
sacrifice ol gallant men. Annexed is a return
ol killed and wounded, exhibiting dates, ac
tions, and circumstances.
When every officer and every soldier, regu
lar and volunteer, has, through a series o!
harassing, and severe conflicts, in the valley
and on the mountain, in the street and on the
house-top, cheerfully, bravely, and successful
ly executed every service and complied with
every exaction of valor and patriotism, the task
is as difficult as delicate to distinguish indivi
duals; and yet it will always happens as it has
always happened in the varied scenes ot battle
and siege, that fortune presents to some
those opportunities which all would have
seized with gladness and avidity. It is my
pleasing and grateful duty to present to the con
sideration ofthe General-in-Chief, and through
him to the Government, the distinguished con
duct ot brigadier General Smith, colonel of ri

who was among the first in the assault upon the
Place, and who secured tbe colors. Each of
the officers named either headed special detach
ments, columns of attack, storming parties or
detached guns, and all were conspicuous for
conduct and courage. My attention has been
particularly directed by General Smith to the
gallant conduct es Lieutenant Gardner, 7lh
Infantry, during Ihe assault upon the city, on
which occasion he threw himselt iu advance, and
on the most exposed points, animating the men
by his brave example. Particular attention has
also been called to Lieutenants Nicholls, (bro
thers,) Louisiana volunteers, as having highly
distinguished themselves by jiersonal daring and
efficient service. The officers of brigade and
regimental staff were conspicuous in the field,
or in their parlieulardepanments. Lieutenants
Hanson, (commanding,) Nandorn, aids-de

gjln common with the entire division, my par
ticular thanks are tendered to assistant surgeons
Porter, (senior) Byrne, Conrad, DeLeon, and

three days and nights, they were constantly in
motion, performing every executive duty with
zeal and intelligence only surpassed by daring
courage in conflict. I beg to commend each
to special consideration.
We have to lament the gallant Captains
McKavctt, 8:h infantry, an officer of high mer
it, killed on the 21st, and Gillespie, Texas vul
leers, on the 22d. The latter eminently dis
tinguished himself, while leading his brave com
pany al the storming of the first height, and per
ished in seeking similar distinction on a second
occasion. Captain Gallin and Lieut. Petter,
7th ; Lieuts. Rossel, s:h, and Wainwright, Sth
infantry, and Lieut. Recce, Texas rifle
men, received honorable, happily not mortal,
wounds.
The folio wing non-commissioned officers are

Official Despatches from General Wool.
Head Quarter*, Coahuila,Mexico,?
Near Presidio, 14th Oct , 1846. $
Sir: I have the honor to report that I arrived
with about 1,300 men at the Rio Grande on the
morning of the Sth instant, and crossed the river
on the 9th, 10th, and 11th instant without any se
rious accident, and encamped three miles west of
the Presidio, and nine miles from the river, which
at the time of the crossing, was four feet three
inches deep. By unloading and raising the articles
a foot in the wagons, we were enabled to cross
the ford. The infantry crossed in the boats pre
pared at San Antonio.
Colonel Hardin, with eight companies of the Ist
regiment of Illinois volnnteeis, came up on the
evening nf the 12th. Yesterday he crossed the
liver, and will join us in the course of an hour.
We have been compelled to delay a few days to
repair our train, 170 wagons, carrying fifty five
da> s’ rations, and to recruit onr horses and mules,
much reduced by a long march, without anything
but prairie grass to feed on.
A pait of the train had travelled from Lavacca,
three hundred and thirty miles, without a day ’s
rest. We shall resume our march with about 1,800
men, on the morning of the 16th instant, alter
leaving a company to take charge of the boats
and the told of the Rio Grande, until the rear «f
my column,under the diteefion of Colonel Church
ill arrives, which is expected in the course ot cu
days.
Unfortunately the quartermaster’s department
is without specie. Treasury notes are of ue use
tons, as the Mexicausjwill take nothing but gold
and silver. With private means and borrowing,
we shall be able to pay for half rations of corn du
ring our stay at this place. Whether I shall be
able to succeed as well at other towns is doubtful.
My route to Chihuahua will be through San Fer
nando, Santa Rosa, and perhaps Monclova. At
this point 1 will endeavor to open a communica
tion with General Taylor, which, it would seem,
will be necessary on account of supplies. Aasoon
as the wet season commences our communications
with San Antonio and tha Presidio will be, iu a
great measure, cut off—the route in many places,
independent of the streams, will be impassible.
Hence. I will be compelled to establish a depot of
supplies at Monclova, or some ether point, in the
interior, and on a route leading to General Taylor’s
army, or depot of supplies. The supplies in the
country are limited. A partial amount of flour
and corn, and full tatians of beef, can be obtained.
I have ordered the quartermaster’s department to
forward, as fast as possible, all the subsistence he
could obtain between this and the middle of No
vember, when itis thought we may have our com
munications interrupted by wet weather.
Brigadier General Shields arrived yesterday,
and confirmed the previous intelligence of a hail
fought battle between General Taylor audAmpu
dia, and also of the capitulation. This morning I
was informed by an intelligent Mexican, that San
ta Anna bad arrived at kaki!lo with 13,1'06 men, and
with those of Ampudfa, making a force of 16,000
men. ft is also stated that the government had
called out 60,900 milita. In a few days I shall
know the truth of the rumor. I herewith send
you a copy of an order issued on the arrival of the
troops on the Rio Grande. Also a report es Lieut.
Kingsbury’s of the route and days’ march from
San Antonie to this place.
I am, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t.

Federalists: Kuemies of the Csuntry.
The Washington Union proposes to the
Democratic press to substitute for Whigs and
Whigjery, the terms Federalists and Federal,
ism, when speaking of the Whigs and their
measures. They have been doing this for some
time already, and we suppose the object nsw,
in their moments of desperation, since the re
sult of late elections, is to continue it merely
for the pleasure of abusing their opponents and
calling them hard names. •
TheWhigscan have the consolation, how
ever, of knowing that these names are trouble
some only to some of the leading characters in
the ranks et the Democrats.
We might, if it were necessary, give a long
list ol names now found in the Democratic
ranks, some of which were illustrious in the
troublous times ot the past, for their intem
perate zeal in the cause and measures of the
Federal party.
But we will confine our remarks to a few
only, and to a very brief statement, to show the
utter falsity of the charges against the Whigs,
and the total misapplication to them of the
terms Federalists and Federalism.
When Democracy got into power by the
election ot Mr. Polk, is it not reasonable to sup
pose, judging from previous professions, that
Federalism would have been shunned as the
plague or the cholera 2 Could any one have
supposed that a man who had said, that il he
thought he had a drop of Democratic bleed in
his veins he would let it out, would have been
made the Secretary of Slate? Pethaps in the
eyes of Mr. Polk, Mr. Buchanan completely
effacedtbe slain which this remarkput upon his
republican character, by telling the people of
Pennsylvania, that Mr. Polk was as good a ta
riff man as Henry Clay? This act washed him
of all contamination of Federalism, and "wool
dyed” him a true and consistent Democrat!
It would b« curious to learn the precess by
which Mr. Bancroft, who was another Cabinet
officer of Mr. Polk, was metamorphosed Irom a
Federalist of the old stamp to a Democrat of
the “progressive” order.
How this man, who had opposed General
Jackson with bitterness, and was a few years
since a Federalist, could have been made one of
Mr. Polk’s Secretaries and the selected eulo
gist of General Jackson, after his death, can be
accounted for only upon the new principles of
democratic progressive reform.
John J. Kane, the very man to whom Mr.
Polk wrote his deceptive tariff letter, was a Fe
deralist, and yet he has been rewarded by Mr.
P. with an honorable and lucrative office.
Marcus Morion, another, and an abolitionist
besides, the man who has abused slavery and
the South as violently as the phrenetic Garri
son, or any other ol the same crew, was made
Collector ol the port ol Boston, one of the most
lucrative offices in the Union.
But it is unnecessary to geon in enumerat
ing the Federalists who are now embraced with
in the folded arms of Democracy as its choicest
and dearest spirits. How unblushing the
charge, that the Whigs are the enemies ol the
country, when the very luea who call them
such, are bringing it to the foot stool o! British
poxver, and blighting its prosperity by measures
of the mest destructive tendency !
But the great charge now. is, that the Whig*
are opposed to the Mexican war, and therefore
Federalists and enemies e! the country. They
may believe that the war was unnecessarily
brought about, but it will be a difficult matter to
show that they deny their means or lives is its
prosecution.
Some of the distinguished gentlemen of ths
Democratic party even went so lar as to mount
the black cockade in opposition to giving their
couatry the means of beating off' its enemies in
the last war. What Whigs can be found who
deny them to the country now? Who com
mands ottr invading army ? Is it not notorious
that a majority ot the brave and gallant men,
officers and soldiers, who have fallen upon the
Rio Grande, and before the walls of Monterey,
were Whigs. The General-in-Chief is a
Whig, and a majority of the officers under his
command are Whigs. So also two-thirds of
the entire army. And yet the Washington
Union urges the other Democratic papers to
call the Whigs Federalists, as a term appropri
ate to their recusancy to patriotism and the
honor of the republic.
The Whig policy is in accordance with the
views of the purest and best patriots whom the
country ever produced. It is on the onward
march—the people have solemnly rebuked our
incompetent and dangerous rulers. Let the
Union and kindred prints continue to brand the
Whigsas Federalists and traitors, totheir heart’s
content; the people see as plain as a sjnbcam,
that to them and their policy, the country must
look for the preservation of its interests, pros
perity and honor.
Our Book Table.
"legends awl Sturi s of Ireland," by Samuel
Lover, is the title ot a very neat octavo volume
from the press ot Lea & Blanchard, which has
been laid on our table by C. E. GaßNVibt.E.
The time has passed when it becomes neces
sary to make an extended notice of the wotks
from the pen of this distinguished auther, with a

John H. Roserts, Jr., Secretary.
CeMHEsetAL Foresismt.—A respected and
wealthy merchant in Detroit had a very large
amount of Flour on hand in New York, when
the prices were down to the fewest point last
winter. He set down his loss at some SO or SIOO,-
000; and turned over his stock to his agents in
New York and Liverpool. They assumed sole
supervision of it—kept it in bond for ten months,
and sold the whole of the large stock, a few weeks
since, at 33 shillings a barrel. Mr. B. was entire
ly ignorant es the course pursued by his agents,
until he received information of the rale of the
Flour, by which he saved over $40,000. Se much
for having wise and wealthy consignees.
Ax ExTttAettDtNAY Memory.—Miss Louisa
West, a girt fifteen years es age, at Georgetown,
Ky., committed to memory accurately- the whole
New Testament in six weeks, at the same time
attending to her other domestic duties.
New Counterfeit.—We have been shown a
twenty dollar note, purporting to be the issue ot
the Bank ol Cape Fear, which is a base coun
terfeit. It is numbered 148, Letter A, payable
to S. Jewett, and dated Ist February, 1846. The
vignette is a train of Cars and a mountain in
the distance ; the heads on the right and left
ends et the bill are very impetfect. The sig
natures ofthe President and Cashier are writ
ten, and very well imitated, though the general
appearance of the bill, to an experienced eye,
would at ence cause its detection— Raleigh Reg
ister.
Second Crop.—Mr. Wm. T. Maddox, of Len
ardtown (Md.,) informs us that there is a tree in
his orchard at this time full of apples about the
s*ze of a small hen’s egg, being the second crop
from the same tree this season.—Sf. Alary’s Rea
con .
Pathos.—The editor of the Louisville Journal,
in the following pathetic apostrophe, gives vent
to the feeling' which agitate his besom, on hearing
of the victories of the Whigs:
‘‘Mourn! mourn! mourn! oh, j'e snags and
sawyers and sand-bars ! Your patron has got to
vacate his place in the Presidential chair and you
will have to vacate yours iu our harb®r« and
rivers.”
The Day of Washington’s Inavgvration.—
The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette thus fixes the day
on which General Washington was inaugurated:
We turn back to our file of the United States
Gazette for 1759, and uider the date of May 2, we
find the account of the inauguration of th® Presi
dent on Thursday’, Apiil 30, 1789. A procession
escorted the President elect to the State House,
(in New Yoik city,) and after he had been intro
duced to both Houses of Coßgress, be was con
ducted to the gallery fronting Broad-strect, where,
in the presence of an immense concourse of citi
zens, the oath prescribed by the Constitution was
administered to him by the Hon. R. R. Livingston,
of the State of New Yoik.
About the same time, Congress was employed
in discussing the question of a Tariff, Mr. Madi
son went in for discriminating duties.
The Boston Journal, speaking of the resolutions
passed by the Democratic Convention in Conaecti
cut in favor of the tai iff of 1546, says:
“This reminds us ot th® story told by S. S.
Prentiss of the passenger at sea, who. when the ves
sel was in danger of being wrecked, lashed himself
to the sheet anchor,as the nest means of preserving
life!”
Sugar.—Sir Walter Scott, in his history of
Napoleon, ridicules the Emperor’s patronage
ot ihe first attempt to manufacture beet sugar
in France, Ue had a small loaf which he kept
under a glass on his mantlepiece as a speci
men. Time shows that Napoleon was not
mistaken. It appears that this manufacture
the present year surpasses to a remarkable ex
tent that of any previous year. At the end of
May there had been manufactured 88,000,000,
pounds, nearly ten millions more than any
previous year. This paid into the treasury of
ihe country over eight millions ol francs, or
two and a halt millions more than last year,—
There are now not less than three hundred man
ufactories in full operation, and only three
in the whole kingdom mt in operation, and
ihi; because they have as much sugar as they
can store. Thirty manufactories have been
added to the list during the past summer.
Clirlst Healing the Sick.
The following line* reached Mr. Morita yestcrdiy
(tucbday) Irom Columbia, 8. C. They aie from ihe
pen ol Rev. Mis. Martin of that place :
ON VIEWING WEST’rf CELEBRATED PAINTINH
‘•Christ Healino hie Bick.”
Thou art the Healer! Lord, they come—
i he sick, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
The plagued, the palsied, deaf and dumb,
In eagerness do haste to find,
Even, where the Great Physician dwelleth
So poteat for fheir every cure,
’1 lie Lord, the Christ, that so excellelh
In remedies both safe and sure :
I nto their Lord behold them pressing,
Who hath in store for each a blessing.
Oh, Saviour, ’tis thy name they’re naming.
Thy grace and goodness all proclaiming.
1 hou art the Healer 1 I will come
With all my weight of human woe ;
"Twere vain for me to count the sum
Os mine afflictions. Thou dost know
Their strength and number, Great Physician '
Sufficient ai t thou for their cure.
Rebuke them, Lord, and their dismission
Most speedy shall be. and most sure.
Oh Lord! thy timely aid I’m needing,
Thou wilt not disregard my pleading;
Oh Saviour! or.e of all most ailing
Would prove thv love and power unfailing.
Look down, with pity, on me, Lord.
Helpless and impotent 1 lie,
Oh speak but or.e benignant word.
Caston me but coinpassion’s eye.
One tone, one glance, were all sufficient
For life and health, and hope, forever,
And to the troubled soul efficient
Os peace that tioweth like a river.
There is no joy, there is no pleasure,
No, not a gem of earth, nor treasure

Unto the soul that sin hath wounded.

Thou art the best Physician. Thon

And viinp. yes, thou will hear my pleading.

And at thy blessed feel am falling.

To magnify thee, God of Heaven !

Correspondence a] the Charleston Courier.
Washinoton, Nov. 28.
The Mexican war absorbs public attention at
this time. It will be the prominent theme ol the
President’s message and the chief subject tor
the deliberations of Songress. We have a
peace party, but it is not composed ot the high
tariffmen. The head of the peace parly is the
President himself, and the whole Cabinet will
readily embrace an opportunity to make peace.
There are signs that the Oregon question is
to be made the pattern for the arrangement et
this question. The "fifty-four forty” was the
cry here even of those who were anxiously en
deavoring to procure a settlement ot the ques
tion by lorty-nine.
Negotiations, or rather inter-communications,
between agents of Mexico and our Secretary of
State are now going on, which look to an early
peace on terms fair and honorable to Mexico.
The Mexican Congress will, beyond a doubt,
accept the overtures for peace which the Presi
dent offered in August or September.
It is believed that our Government w'ould
willingly accept as terms o’ peaue, indemnity
for spoliation and the Rio Grande as a bounda
ry, leaving the possession of California to be
a subject lor futute negotiation, or as Mr. Polk
himself proposed, providing for its purchase by
the United Stales. These terms will probably
be submitted to the Senate and approved by that
body. But notwithstanding this prospect of an
adjustment ol the question, perpetual war and
active conquest are held out"as the proper poli
cy of this Government in some ot the adminis
tration papers.
An article in the Union assumes that Mexico
has refused ourproflerot negotiation, and hints
that lull indemnity for the cost of the war and
adequate guaranties for the faithful observance
ol treaty stipulations, will be required by our
Government. The same idea was held out in
Congress by some few members, probably for
the purpose of reconciling the economists to
the great expense c-t a war. But if those terms
be insisted upon, we must send host after host
of armed men into the interior ol Mexico, the
war must continue for hall a century, and it
will be attended with expenses and evils that
all the lands and all the mines of Mexico can
never repay.
Senator Allen is here, and a few other mem
bers. We have signs ot a very animated ses
sion. There will be, it is said, an unusually
large number of strangers here this winter.
The Ohio, Capt. Stringham, is nearly ready
for sea. Some officers from Norfolk station
have been ordered to join her. Itis said that
site is to go out with sealed orders, but is proba
bly destined to aid in a talked of attack on Vera
Cruz. Why all this mystery is preserved as so
naval and military movements cannot be ex
plained, except upon the supposition that the
intention is really to do nothing, or at least to
delay further movements in expectation of
peace.
Bex. McCvlloch.—The Galveston News of
the 17th inst., after mentioning the arrival of Capt.
Ben. McCulloch in that city, pays him the follow
ing compliment, every word of it, to our certain
knowledge, being strictly merited. The News
says:— Picayune.
Os this officer it may perhaps be said, with more
truth than of any other, that he has actually growl
up amidst the frontier troubles of the West, until
Indian and Mexican fighting hasconstituted the
chief business ot nis life, px vr
the various expeditions in which he hsWither been
a leader, or borne a part, would present him in a
conspicuous light in the history of Texas. His
faithful services are too prominent in the various
vicissitudes of the West to be soon forgotten, and
the citizens es Galveston will welcome him as eur
country’s benefactor. In th® future prosecution
of this war Gen. Taylor will find his expeiicnce,
his knowledge of the country, and his prudence as
a commander, of the greatest service to him, if not
indispensit le.
We learn from one of the officers of the steam
er Superb, which arrived here last evening,
that ofthe twenty-one persons scalded on board
the Maria, and conveyed to the hospital at
Natchez, seventeen have died, and there was lit
tle hope of the recovery of the remaining fear.
—_V. O. Picayune, 25th inst.
The St. Louis Republican, of the S9lh inst.,
says:
Our information from Santa Fe advises us
of the departure ot the traders trom Missouri
lor Chihuahua, about the 20;h ot September.
They expected to find Gen. Wool in possession
ol Chihuahua by the time ot their arrival. But
we know, by accounts direct from Gen. Wool’s
command, that he did not expect to reach that
city before the latter end of December. It is
very possible, that if they persevered in entering
Chihuahua, they may have been subjected to
much inconvenience, if they were not deprived
of their goods, and themselves made prisoners.
Specie Currency.—A gentleman returning
from the West now and then came across a
Mexican dollar, and thinking it better to bring
home than paper, put it in his pocket He col
lected five dollars in all, and three of them prov
ed to be counterfeit. This is the way that a
specie currency saves the poor from counter
feits. The way to ascertain when a piece is
pure silver is to file into it, and then apply
aquafortis to the incision. A specie currency
man should always have a small file and a bot
tle of aquafortis in his pocket.—A’. F. Jnirnal
of Commerce.
Wealth »r Tire State .r Ohio. —We learn, by
a letter from a friend in Ohio, that the State Board
of Equalization concluded its labors at Columbus
on the 16th instant, after a session of more than
three weeks ; of which the following are the ag
gregate results:
The valuation of the real property el Ohio is
about three hundred and twenty-four millions of
dollars.
The personal property is valued at $79, 177,484,
making an aggregate of real and personal property
to the amount of $403,177,484 —that is to say,
more than four huadred and three miilioas of dol
lars.—. Vol. Intelligencer.
The following extract from a Washington
letter in the Richmond Whig contradicts the
rumored reconciliation between Col. Benton
and the Administration;
You may depend on it, as far as Col. Benltsn
is himself to be relied on, that there is no foun
dation for the rumor of any explanation or re
conciliation between him and the President and
the poke stalk organ en which the President
plays. Whatever these relations were, whea
the great Missouri Mammoth walked over and
demolished the 51 40 men, such they are now.
Os the organ he speaks with unreserved cs»-
tempt, and says if it had been nurtured then as
now, it would have broken down even Jackson’s
administration. The promotion of bis acceia
plished son-in-law, Fremont, he regards, not as
/aiwrs from the Administration, but as the due
reward of superior intellect and enterprise.
Fatal Accident.—A lew evenings ago two
children ol Mr. Francis N. Andrew were play
ing together, and one ot them having a pair ot
scissors, accidentally struck the points into the
temple of the other. The child died in a short
lime by bleeding — SI. Augustine HenM.
ArrnopßiATE Gift.—A letter from an officer
at Monterey, published ir. the N. Y. Post, states
that Col. Corosco, one of Ainpudia's stati offi
cers, before leaving Monterey, presented Col.
: Mav with a superb saddle, holster and trim
■ usings, elegantly ornamented, in consideration
of May’s kindness and hospitality to Gen.
Vega and other officers who fill isto'his hands
on the Sth and 9th »t May.
Cold iron is not the only perilous mineral
which politicians have to encounter. Coal, it
seems, is not to be touched with impunity.
There is a township in Pennsylvania, for exam
ple, named Coal, in which, last year, the Whig
candidate received 3 and the L<>cofoco candi
date 69 votes. This year the Whig candidate
received 89 and theLocoloco none.
Gen. Scott and suite have gene to New York to
take passage in the steamer Southerner for Charles
ton, S. C. From thence they will proceed te the
seat of war.
"Cruel and unusual Punishment.”—The
Albany Evening Journal respectfully requests
the editor of the Washington Union to publish
in that paper one ot his eld articles against the
Sub-Treasury.
The Si eamsihp Southerner.—TheUharlcs
lon Courier of yesterday says: This vessel ar
tived here yesterday. She left New York on
Friday morning last, having been detained the
previous day by a gale, which was so seveie as
to prevent the Great Western from goin«tjsca.
The Southerner encountered strong head winds
during ihe whole passage. The report that she
had been said t© the Government was incarrect.

MAP OF GEORGIA.
The nudersigned has been, for montka
past, engaged, under the direction of His Excellen
cy, Governor Crawford, in compiling a Map of the
State of Georgia, on a scale of six miles te the
inch. The undertaking is aow nearly computed,
and«hc Hatters himself he will receive the favora
ble patronage ®f his fellow-citizens —sufficient,
at least, t® have it published and placed in a dura
ble form.
That a tevised delineation is called for, of eur
extensive territory, independently es what exists
in the labors es Sturges and Greene, will net be
questioned. The accumulation aud possession,
since their times, es a vast body of land designated
then as wilderness, er the temporary domain of the
Indian tribes, with natural objects well worthy “a
habitation and a name,” have been converted into
organized counties, presenting a dense population,
flourishing villages, and extensive public and pri
vate improvements.
The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient
number of subscribers will warrant,) is five feet
by four feet and eight inches ; and is designed to
exhibit as well as perpetuate the present condition
of the whole topography of the State. Inad liticn
te the ordinary metes and bounds—courses of
rivers, and ranges o f mountains. Railroads, Canals
County Sites, Pest Offices, Factories, in fact all re
markable places of the pastor present day, will
be shown. The attention of the compiler has been
particulaily directed to a faithful drawing of coun
ty lines and public roads, and to accomplish such
important ends, he has nd only consulted the ori
ginal surveys and the acts of various Legislatures,
but he deemed it the better plan to make rough
sketches of each county and submit the same to
the Justices of the Inferior Court, Postmasters, and
ethers equally competent and obliging, and te ask
for such additions and corrections as might be ne
cessary, and farther to designate any and all ob
jects of natural cariosity that might exist. Te
many, if not all of his requests, kind, prompt and
satisfactory replies were given, so that many glar
ing inaccuracies in the maps heretofore published
have been corrected; and the compiler lakes this
occasion of returning his acknowledgments to
those who favored his objects, as rendering a ser
vice not merely to himself, but aiding most pwa
teiially in the thorough and correct dcvelopement
of the whole plan. To his brother Engineers of
the different Railroads, his thanks are due for the
use of maps which enabled him not only to lay
down the true courses cf those important works,
but likewise to make piofiles exhibiting the eleva
tion above the sea, of every station from the At
lantic to the Tennessee river. The map will be
embellished with views of the State House and
the Executive Mansions, and will be furnished to
subscribers at their residences at ten dollars per
copy. WM. G. BONNER., Civil Engineer.

I'he downward tendency noticed im the market at
the clo-qe ot our last report, was checked on Friday, by
the receipt ol the news by the Great Western at New
York, from Liverpool to the 31st ult-, representing that
market in an active state, at a farther adavnee of |d
per lb. Fair Uplands being quoted at 6d per lb. The
sales al tsr the receipt of the new* amounted tn upward*
ot I,ooobales at rather better prices. On Saturday the
news by the Acadia at Boston, from Liverpool to the
4th, and Havre to the Ist inst. came to hand. This
news had the effect to check all business, the sales of
the div being-but about 100 bales. On Monday buyers
and sellevs still finding it difficult ta agre*. the trans
actions were only about 330 bales at a decline of an Jc
*£* lb. On Tuesday and Wednesday this decline be
came general, the sales of the two days amounting to
3,500 bales, and yesterday aeout 1.2L0 bale* changed

Cutton— At the date of our last report we remarked
that the Upland market at the close of the week was
very quiet. The Telegraphic acounts per the Acadia,
it will be recollected came to hand on Friday, but as
foreign operators were without their advices, the mar
ket was entirely in the hands of Northern buyers,
whose operations were confined tw some 250 bales. On
Saturday morning the letteri, by Hie steamer were re
ceived, and before the day hid far advanced, a moder
ate demand sprung up for the article, which, however,
was accompanied with reduced limits, but as holders
generally were not disposed to come to terms the sales
were restricted to 1263 bales; on Monday, however,
they yielded to a certain extent, which increased the
transactions to 2100 bales, and established a reduction
of | cent below the quotations given in our report es
the 21st inst. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was
no perceptible change in the general features of the
market, and the sales on the former day may tee put
down at 1637 bales, and on the latter at 1723 bales.
Throughout Thursday factors effered their stocks free
iy, and purchasers would net unfreqiiently obtain even
lower rates—sales 3000 bales. Early yesterday the
market seemed so have been deserted by buyers, but as
the day advanced, cne or two parties were induced to
operate, in consequence of the favorable terms offered
and near 1900 bales were sold. Aome grades, since r>u
last, have depreciated in value |c, while other elassift

Our last report left the Colton market in a dull and
droeping state, a positive decline having taken place
of fully an | to a i of a cent from price* which were
paid one or tw» day* prior to the receipt of the Euro
pean advices per Britannia. On Saturday the market
continued te exhibit the same heavy'character as.on the
day previous, and though sales to the extent of about
3500 bales were effected, yet there was very little
animation displayed, and prices dragged heavily,
though without afiy further positive decline. On Mon
day the market opened quietly, but as the day advanced
quite an active inquiry sprung up and at the close es
business it was found that fully 6800 bales had changed
hands, at about previous prices, though with a rather
finer feeling. An impression prevailed that these oper
ations, or a portion ©( them, were based upon the pos
session, by piivate express, of the European advise*
per Great Western, but nothing transpired to make
this a matter of certainty. Yesterday the mail came
through, bringing Baltimore papers, containing ap ab
stract ot the accounts brought by the Great Western,
as conveyed from New York by the magnetic tele
graph. These advices did not appear to be looked up
on as sufficiently favorable to induce buyers toe iter
the market to any considerable extent, at least u tho
absence of the private correspondence, and t.i > *t<*g
were restricted to some 900 bales, sellers being voting
to continue OUSIIIcae ..4.44* j-mh «n«p
sers seemed disposed to wait more full advices, oxpect.
ed by to day’s mail. Our quotations remain tne same
as in last Saturday’s report. The total receipts at this
port since Ist September are 157,618 bales, against
272,000 bales at same date last year; showing a de
crease of 114,382 bales; and the falling off in the re
ceipts at all the ports, up to the latest dates, ax com
pared with last yee r, is 123,733 bales. In the total ex
ports f.om the United States to foreign countries, as
compared with the same dates lost year, there is a de
create of 122.464 bales to Great Britain, and 9126 bale*
to France, while to other foreign ports there i* an in
c ease of 1133 bales. The total sales of the past three
days amount toß2oo bales, taken principally for Eng
land, with several parcels lor France, the South, ot
Europe, and our Northern port*

Sug'-r, Louisiana— The Sugar mat ket continued to

and also by large arrivals, which had the effect te in

advantageous term*. 'I he sales ot the three days, how

leaving several hundred barrels still unsold, which ar
rived yesterday, ihe operations being checked by un
favorable weather. We are without any sale* to

aro indifferent about soiling at tho moment, at least
for immediate delivery.

To Our Patronu.
As the present number concludes the Fourth
Volume ofthe “ Southern Cultivator,” ihe
publishers deem It a fit occasion, kind patrons,
to hold a little converge with you. It is not our
purpose to flatter you with soft aud honied
phrase, or laud our own efforts in the cause of
Southern Agricultural improvement. Rather
let ■« deal in the language of frankness and
candor. We prefer this, as well from our con
victions of its propriety as from our inclinations,
believing it the only sure and sate means of con
tinuing an acquaintance, which, we trust, has
been most agreeably formed, and will continue
to dispense mutual benefits to you end our
selves. With this numoer, then, we have per
formed our part of the contract enured into
between the patrons es the Cultivator aad our
selves! How it has been performed, you, ot
course, must judge. If your decision be favor
able, we hope you will renew the relations ot
Hatrons and Publishers, which cease with this
number, by subscribing for the next volume, the
first number of which will be issued in January.
It is not only eur desire that each nf yon ahuild
again become subscribers, but we indulge the
hope, that you will make an effort to Induce your
neighbors and friends ake to subscribe. This
policy will he doing your wlwledxtlyU) yourselves
and to society, and by it ue shall be rewarded
for our efforts in attempting to sustain a work
exclusively devoted to Southern Agriculture.
Having said thus much of what we desire
yen should, and we think those of you who
value the work, ought to do, let us now say
what we have dona and are doing ta make the
work worthy of the support of yourselves, your
friends and neighbors. We have already order
ed new type, and the Jdtiuaiy nunibet will ap
pear iu an entire uew dress, and we hope greatly
improved iu appearance. We have made and are
making arrangements for its embellishment with
elegant engravings; in all the departments of
husbandry. To do all these things requires a
large expenditure of money, whieh we have
made, relying upon the liberality and justice of
the Plantera of the Southern Stated to sustain
ms. How fully eur ceafideuee iu thoir liberality
and justice will be justified, aenaaina for them to
make known.
This, then, is the appropriate time foractioa
on your part—and if the effort be made with that
zeal and energy w hich you are wont to bestow
on any enterprise in which you feel an interest,
your suscess will be as certain as it will be tli
amphant.
In conclusion, permit as (p repeat our daaire
that every subscriber to the present volume will
immediately forward his subscription for the next
volume, and use some exertion to induce his
friends and neighbors to unite with him.

The Publishers have taken the responsibility
of publishing the subjoined extract from a letter
of John A. Calhovn, of Eufaula, Ala-, to the
Editor, which they commend to every reader es

A few such friends ae Mr. C.,and the Publishers

his proposal, I have bees constantly confined to

is improving, that I shall be able yet to do some
thing from this to the firstof January next. 1
brought forward the claims of the Cultivator
before the last meeting ot our Society; and it
was resolved by tbe members present, that we
