From the X. O. Picayune, 7th in st.
Mexican Incentives to Desertion.
In a late Mexican paper now before us. the
official organ of that Government. we find sev
eral articles prepared with a view to encourage
desertion from the ranks ofoiir army in Mexico.
The appeals are particularly directed to foreign
ers in our ranks, but more especially to Irish
men. Since the execution of O’Riley—as Gen.
Shields, himself a gallant Irishman, writes his
name—and the other deserters taken with arms
in their hands, we have little fears of the effect
which may be produced by Mexican solicita
tions. Still it is manifest that a “ dead set ’* has
been made upon our ranks, for since the shoot
ing of the deserters the articles below have all
been produced in the official journal of Mexico,
printed in Spanish and English, side by side.—
And in addition to the articles which we copy,
we find in the same paper the address by Geii.
Urrea, written from Tula de Tamaulipas, the
12th of August last, and directed to the soldiers
and volunteers of the American army, which
appeared in the Matamoros papers some time
since. Like Santa Anna’sown addresses, it en
courages desertion by denouncing the Presi
dent of the United States, and the war as being
his individual act. Were our Government or
officers to issue like addresses to encourage de
sertions among the Mexicans, we should never
hear the infamy of such conduct adequately de
nounced.

present campaign, ami t|io.-e of the same nation are to
remain together if they choose, and under the imme

.Ur.rr/v/n.s* to Catholic Irishmen.
Irishmen!— Listen to the words of vour brothers,
hear the accents of a < -atholic fieople.
Could Mexican- - imagine that the sons of Ireland,
that noble lati-l of the religion.- and the brave, would
be seen amongst their enemies ?
Well known it is that Irishmen are a noble race;
well known it is that in their own country many of
them hive not even bread tn give t • their children.
These a.r the chief motives that induce Irishmen to I
abandon their belovrfl country ami visit the shores of :
the new w.irld.
But was it not natural to expect that the distressed
Irishmen who fly from hunger would take refuge in
this t-itli-’ls’ country, where they might have met
with a hearty welcome and be«-n looked upon as broth
ers, had they not came as cruel ami unjust invaders ?
.So/t.v of Ireland! H ive you forgotten that in any
Spanish country it is sufficient tor Lum Ireland as your
home to meet with a fri«-ridly reception from authori
ties as well as citizens !
Is religion no longer the strongest of all human
bonds ?
What? can you light bv the side of those who put
lire to vo ir temples in Boston and Philadelphia .’ Did
you witn • s such dreadful crimes .and sacrileges with
out making a solemn vow to our l*ord ?
If you are < ’ unolics, the same as we, if you follow
the doctrines ol our Saviour, why are von steen sword
in hand murdering your brethren, why are you
antagonists of those w h<» defend their country and your
own < Jo-l ?
Are <’ath ‘lie Irishmen to he the dost ray ers of < *ath
nlie temple-, the murderers ol'Catholic priests, and the
founder- of heretic »l rites in tin- pious nation ?
Irishmen! Vou are expected to be just, because
you arr the country men of that truly great and elo
quent man, O'Coimrll, who has devoted his whole life
to defend y nr lights, ami finally, because you tire said
to be good and s ncere I '.atholics.
Why, then, do you rank among our wicked ene
mies !
Is it because you wish to have a grant of land that
you may call your own ?
But what c.m the most piwerful armies do against
a while nation f
By conquest yon enn take cities and towns, but n«
ver pissesH two feet ol ground unmolested as long as
there is a Mexican. The last of Mexicans is deter
mined to light without ••■•lease for his country an I his

But our h-»<pitality and good will towards you ten
ders you what by force you can never possess or en
joy : as much property in land ns you max require, and
this under the pledge of our honor and our holy reli
gion.
<’o ne over to us ; you will bn received under the
laws ofth.it truly Christian hospitality and g«*»d faith
which Irish gu-.*sts are entitled to expect and obtain
from a Catholic nation.
Our sincere oders have already been realized with
many ot your country men, who are living ns our own
brothers among us.

WEDNESDAY MORN’G, OCT. 13, 1847.
The Election.
The mail of this morning removes al! doubt
as to the complexion ofthc Legislature, and we
have the high gratification of announcing to our
readers, that the Whigs have carried both
‘ branches. The Senate by 3. certain, perhaps
i 5 majority, and the House by 2 certain majori
ty. Our tables are all corrected according to
the latest and most authentic reports.
Towns is elected Governor by 12 or 1500
f - inalority.
“ Here’a talk of tlae Turk and tlae Pope,
hut it s my next Neighbor does me harm.”
We have ever solemnly desired, that in all
our transactions with Mexico, that country
could not justly raise its voice before the na
tions of tiie earth, and charge it’s neighbor, the
United States, with doing it wanton harm. A
great tpiesticn has yet to be settled in the moral
tribunal of the world, —Did the United States
commit an aggression upon Mexico, when it
took position upon the left bank of the Rio
Grande? If it did, is there an American with
soul so dead, with patriotism so cold, with hon
or so weak, who would censure Mexicans, and
desire to destroy them, because they drew their
swords to defend their native soil.
“ Bre d hu’s tier*' a mm with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land ?”
Is this sentiment censurable only in a Mexi
can? Is it noble, chivalrous, honorable, and
worthy of admiration, only till fell and cherish
ed by the people of Mexico ?
We shall not now undertake to decide the
question, whether the march to the Rio Grande
was an aggression or not. Mr. Benton and a
number of other distinguished Democrats have
decided that it was. But whether it were so,
or not. is there a candid mind in the Union
which has examined the subject, but believes
that Mexicans are firmly sincere in the decla
ration, that the left bank of the Rio Grande
was not a part of Texas, but of the Mexican
state of Tamaulipas ? Is nothing due then to
Mexican pride, oifended, wounded, irritated to
the last degree by a hostile invasion of their
country ? The army of the United States has
crossed the Rio Grande, ami, in some thirty
battles, has overwhelmed the forces of Mexico,
and now his possession of her lar-lam. d capi
| tai. What next ! what is to follow, what is the
: desire of the country? We believe that but
! few of the people of this country sympathize
; with the wild, fanatical, visionary, dangerous,
' ami disgraceful sentiment, that M xieo should
:be conquered and brought by force within the
’ limits of our I 'nion.
The Administration professed, in the fust
place, a determination to conquer a peace.
Peace was con piered after the battle of Churii
l busco—Mexico was then ready for peace, and
’ nothing presented obstacles to its accomplish
ment but the determination ofoiir government,
or rather our Executive, to dismember the
Mexican Republic. One of the resolutions ol
the late war meeting at New Orleans was in the
following u ords:
•• liestdred, I hat tin i epeat- d oilers by ourgoveru
meut of equitable ami liberal terms ot p-ace, and the
repe ited and insolent reject:“ii of those terms by Mex
ico. leaves ns n > alternative but to prosecute tin* war
with ail the power of die country until price is honest
ly sought bv th • f m*, or Mexico finally subjugated.”
Does the country respond to this sentiment?
Have liberal and equitable terms been otfered to
Mexico ? Is Mexico bound to give up her
territon . because our Administration claims it ?
Is she bound to sell it because that Administra
tion wishes to purchase it ’ Has she no control
oterher own domain ? Does she not possess
the right ot any other free and sovereign pow
er. to refuse to yield or sell her territory to a fo
reign power, who wishes to seize upon it or
I purchase it ’ What man, what freeman would
not yield his life before he would be driven to
, sell his Lind, his servants, or any other property,
i because a neighbor looked upon and coveted
‘it ? And yet Mexico, because, as the owner of
i certain lauds, she refused to yield or sell them
‘ at the bidding of Mr. Polk, is charged by the
I New Orleans meeting with the repeated and
’ insolent rejection” of equitable ami liberal
terms! \re any terms liberal ami equitable that
would force any tn in or even any nation to '
yield property and rights which they desired to
retain ’ T'his isanionstrousdoctrine, it is ikin
to the despotic exactions of Russia. Prussia and i
\ustria, in their spoliation and dismemberment
of wretched Poland. Are we to be placed side
by side on the list of despotic and tyranical
governments.
We repeat the assertion. Mexico is now
iearly for peace, if this Government will leave
her territory undismembered. What did the
Mexican commissioners say to Mr. Trist ’
“ The conservation «»f this territory i>, ccordm-g to
our instructions, a condition sine ijua non ofjveace.
S
character «»f your Excellency will know* how to ap
preciate. as well as m mves of interest, prevent our
Government from cons- ntmg t ithe dis>n:mbertnent
o/’.Vct.- yfexi
Who is it that cannot see am! appreciate
those sentiments ofhonor and delicacy to which
they refer ’ Perhaps thefiov.-rnment of Mexi
i co has no constitutional rigiit to cede or sell
one of the sovereign States, or any part of a
sovereign Stale of that Republic. What gen
erous mind can fail to appreciate the sentiments
of objection which prevail with the Mexican
Government against disposing of one of its
| Slates ami hundreds of thousands of its inhabi
tants—citizens w ho are devoted lo Mexico, and
1 are of a different blood from our American race ’
i Who can estimate the storm of indignation that
; would be aroused in this country, if our Execn
’ live were to undertake to sell one of ihe sove
reign States
monstrous to be contemplated for one mo
ment. Lotus remember then, that Mexico,
after achieving her freedom, having been
.i . ..’,■» . .... i .. ......i. i...i. -i
cheered by our sympathy ami example, looked
| to this country to guide her hi the path of na-
* tional greatness, and actually copied from our
great and beneficent institutions. But we wdl
! no longer dwell uponihis pnuiful branch of
• the subject.
The thunder of our arms has pealed along
the plans and mountains of Mexico and
more recently sliook the walls ot the capi
tal. The armies of that unforiun.ite country
: have crumbled away before the prodig.es ol
valor which the invading Americans have dis- '

of unnecessary and therefore cruel power. It
w u, not have been t-w first ume. however, that
a nation voting m virtue and un-tamed by
n crime, was comprlied to bear the faults and
n crimes of its rulers
’ The great question must first be settled
o Dai Mexico seek provoke and begin this me
lancholy war .’—before the United States can
decide to tear from that country her acknow
ledged territory, by the bloody hooks ami im
plements of force. That can be justified only
by deciding this great question in the affirma
tive. The imperial exercise and nod of pow
er is not sufficient of itself to decide the ques
tion of right and justice.
We would rather that our beloved country
should be right and just in defeat, than wrong
and rapacious in victory.
The Fall Stocks —An Klcgant Store*
Notwithstanding only a limited supply
of the great Southern staple has reached our
market thus far. during the season, the busy
hum of the Fall trade is already upon us, and
our merchants are daily witnessing and realiz
ing its effects upon their splendid stocks of
goods in every department of trade. Nor is
this at all surprising, when we contemplate the
extensive supplies, and the rich and tasteful
displays of ourdealers, who offer inducements
such as would tempt the most obdurate. This
is especially true, and is attested at almost every
step along Broad street, whether one is in pur
suit of the necessaries or luxuries of life, either
for its sustenance, or the more elegant fashion
ingand moulding of the personal exterior. All,
all are in great abundance, while in the latter
departments, there is generally a profusion of
f elegance and richness rarely equalled.
■ Intimately connected with the chaste and
r rich styles of goods, is the fine taste exhibited
1 in their display and arrangement, which is not
’ less important than in the selections. This is
truly a progressive age, and there is no higher
’ evidence of the progress of refinement, and a
highly cultivated taste among merchants than
1 that afforded : n the selections and display of
their goods and wares.
This fact has been forcibly impressed upon
our minds, by the general advancement made
by our merchants within a few years, and in no
instance has it been more strikingly illustrated
than by our friends Clark, Rackett & Co.,
upon whose store, whether it be contemplated
for the splendor, richness, and great variety
of the wares, combining whatever is useful or
ornamental in their line, or the taste displayed
in their exhibition, a lover of the chaste and
beautiful might gaze in admiration for hours
torturing his imagination and his power of lan
guage.not less for appropriate encomiumsiipon
the improvements in the Mechanic arts, as ex
hibited in every niche and corner of their gor
geous establishment, than upon the refined and
elegant taste of the proprietors.
Mr. Towns -The State Koa<L
When we published the reply of Mr.
Towns to the Walker County Convention, we
took occasion to express the opinion, that the
reply was perfectly characteristic of the man—
that he was any thing or nothing as circum
stances required—in short, all things to all men.
To show how just that opinion was. we intro
duce to the reader the following letter, ad
dressed just on the eve of the election, to a citi
zen of Dalton, to bi* used among the citizens of
Murray county, who are generally opposed to
the extension of the Railroad beyond Dalton.—
This is truly a remarkable document, and may
not be inappropriately termed Towns upon
Towns—it is a graphic illustration of his char
acter and his skill in the art of dodging, for
which he lias acquired so much and such well
merited reputation. We commend it there
fore, to the people of Georgia, and particular
ly to that portion of them who voted for Mr.
Towns at the late election, and who have looked
with so much interest and anxiety to the com
pletion of the State Road to Chattanooga. Com
ment upon it would indeed be superfluous to
every frank, candid, and honest-minded man:

is impossible for us to compress into our
narrow limitseven a brief allusion to all of the numer
ous cures that have been effected by Dr. Wistar’sßal
sain. We can only refer to a very few as specimens
of its general efficacy.
A lew days ago, a lady called at the office in fine
health and looking as robust as though she never knew
what sickness was. To our surprise she staled that
until recently, she had been sick for between three
and four years with what was supposed to be consump
tion —that she had a violent cough, night sweats, with
alternate chills and fever, and every usual symptom of
confirmed consumption. The result was. that she be
came so emaciated as to present more the appearance
of a skeleton thana living being. Providentially, she
i at this time heaid of the wonderful cures performed by
Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, and commenced
i using it herself. The effect was, that she began to get
better at once. By degrees, the cough left her, the
chills and fever disappeared, and in two months she
again found herself in perfect health.

Opinions of the Press. --The sudden
and frequent changes of weather which we have ex
perienced recently, frem hot to cold and from wet to
dry, have been peculiarly favorable for the contracting
of Coughs and Colds, and for the laying the founda
tion of that dread disease, Consumption; and we
think we have never known ap much barkin" and
wheezing as we have witnessed among our friends
and acquaintances for the last few weeks. Nor have
we gone entirely free: we had a bad cold, accom
panied by a hard, dry, hacking cough, which was a
source of great annoyance, and began to boos con
siderable apprehension, when a medical friend advised
us to make use of Hull's Cough Lozenges, (and we
write this paragraph to advise our friends to do the
same,) they being in his opinion “the most effectual
remedy for Coughs and Colds within his knowledge,”
and after a fair trial of them, we are happy to say that
we concur most fully in that “ opinion,” anil most cor
dially recommend them to any of our friends who are
or may be suffering from any of the complaints inci
dent t<> Hard Colds, as a remedy effectual in its ac
tion and speedy in its operations.
We don’t know who Dr. Hull may be; but he will
please accept our thanks, and wo think he deserves
I the thanks of the community, for placing within their
i reach so excellent a remedy for Pulmonary complaints
as his Cough Lozenges.—Extract from the Ver
mont Sentinel.

DIED.
At his late residence in the county of Wilkes, on
thf night of the sth instant, Andrew Wolf, in the
89th year of his age.
Mr. Wolf had been an actor in “ the times that
tried meu’ssouls.” h iving enlisted when quite a youth
in the Virginia line of the army of the revolution, and
remained in the service of his country until that great
and glorious struggle terminated in her independence.
We do not claim for “ the Old Worthy” the fame
and distinction usually awarded to those who have
marshalled and led our armies on the battle-field, but
would hold in remembrance the humble and unas
suming soldier, the tried and unflinching patriot, who
not only gave the strength and vigor of his youth to
the cause of his country, but perilled his lite in her
defence. “He has fought his last battle," and been
gathered to his fathers. B.

CHARLESTON, October 9. — Cotton.— The Cut
ton market was in a veryj quiet state when we closed
our inquiries on Friday last, as holders most generally
were unwilling to sell at the heavy decline of i a fc.
that had marked the sales of one or two houses to
wards the close of the week. Ou Saturday last there
was a fair inquiry for the article, and buyers seemed
anxious to press sales, but sellers were unwilling to
submit to the full decline noticed above; as the for
mer, however, would not advance their rates, the
transactions were confined to a few hundred bales, at
the quotations given in our report on that morning.
The same indisposition not to submit to the views of
purchasers was manifested throughout Monday, and
factors would occasionally obtain somewhat better
terms. Several buyers were out on Tuesday exe
cuting their orders, but they had not made much pro
gress when it was ascertained from a telegraphic des
patch received at the office of one of the city papers
that the steamer Hibernia had arrived at Boston, and
tint Cotton had declined gd. in the Liverpool market.
This announcement at once put a stop to business.
From the opening of the week up to the time of the
withdrawal of buyers near 1500 bales had been sold ;
and the seller would occasionally obtain a slight ad
vantage over the buyer, without however, prices ex
hibiting any marked change from those given in our
report of the 2d inst. The following are the particu
lars: —16 bales at 10; 25 at 10.1; 249 at 10|; 44 at
10a; 100 at 11; 95 at llj; 276 at 11|; 93 at llg;
195 at 11|; Sat Ilf; and 27 bales at life., and 130
bales Nankeen at 10 cents. On Wednesday the pa
per accounts came to hand, and the private advices
did not reuch us untill Thursday. These advices
have paralized the market. The sales in the last
three days have been limited to some 470 bales at a
decline of fully one cent per pound on the prices cur
rent at the close of the preceding week.
The actual transactions comprise some 5 bales

last review of the cotton market that the week closed
with a feeling evidently in favor ofbuvers. though we
did not then feel authorized to make any reduction in
our quotations. This feeling has continued to prevail
throughout the entire wfc-k now ebbing, an I under
its influence prices have given way in the course of
the week. ; a j . ent on all descriptions. The sales
ling in 'ue
ig<rreo 12 —nearly al fwh has een
on foreign account. The week closes with a quiet
market. There i? no disposition on the part of buyers
to op^rai* 1 to anv extent, owing partly to the want of
shipping facilities, and partly to the impression that is
beginning !• prevail that the crop of the present year
will not. ~ under the influence of the very favorable
weather with which the planters have been favored
for several weeks past, be so sh irt as was at one time
