“Now that the complete subjugation of Mexico
seems to lie our only alternative, the patriotic young
men of the country an* turning out in earnest. Our
exchange papers indicate that renewed exertions to
raise \olnnteers in this Stab?, are making in various
parts —and \\c let I assured that the call on Alabama
will lie fully met in a very short time. The prospect
of an early (vaee caused at first some tardiness in .re—
spoudiug to the call of*the Governor, and prevented
that promptness which has heretofore characterized
Alabamians.— .4/<j. Adv.
Tmk supporters of the Admiiiistmtion rejoice
that the “ prospect of an early peace"’ is so in
definitely removed, that ** patriotic young men*’
can now enlist in the army as a business for life.
It is true thtl the principal cities of the Mexican
republic have already been taken, and there re
mains only the shadow of resistance lo our
forces now in the field- No matter. “A
peace,'’ say the supporters of Mr. Folk's ad
ministration. is quite as far from being conquer
ed now, as it was when the President ordered
Gen. Tavlok to invade a Statu of Mexico, but
lo respect its collectors of customs oud loeul ma
•ristnttes. in the valley of the Rio Grande. The
pointing of cannon at tbo Tfty of M^aiuuros.
and all that has transpired since the arrival of
an invading army before it, seems not to have
impressed the young men of Alabama with a
full idea of the magnitude and probable dura
tion of the War. But. weighing carefully the
unchecked, unlimited power oCone tnau in this
nation, to make war ami prosecute it to the
sacrifice of tons of thousands of lives, and the
wanton expenditure of hundreds of millions of
dollars, ambitions young men are rapidly rush
ing into the exciting profession of arms. The
peaceful pursuits ofugncuhure, manufactures,
trade, commerce, and the learned professions,
are fast falling into contempt. The great men
who hold the plow, or wisely direct its furrow,
are just nobody in the public esteem; whilst
successful soldiers are sure of the Presidency,
or anything else they may ask. To our own
mind, the end of all this military fever and glo
ry is very plain. If we sow the wind, our har
vest must be the whirlwind. The demoraliz
ing influence of war is a public calamity, an hun
dred fold more lo he dreaded and deplored
than all the loss of life and properly which it
indicts on the people of the United States. De
mocratic editors may think very lightly ofpure,
sound public morality, in a nation where '.he
popular will is the supreme power. Drums,
guns, and cannon, carnage and death by human
hands, and ail the animal excitements and in
dulgences of a camp, may be regarded by Mr.
Polk and his supporters as furnishing the best
schools of morality, in which the young men of
this country can graduate. These schools must
edncarc 10(1,000 pupils, if the war shall con
tinue a year longer.
The Alabama Professorship in Oglethorpe

The Supreme Court commenced its fall

Ladies Should Taste Cautiously.
A lai»v. says the Syracuse Journal, while as
sisting in making arrangements for a wedding,
a few days since, narrowly escaped death by
tasting of the oil of almonds. Having uncork
ed a phial and merely touched the cork to the
lip of her tongue, she was seized with violent
spasms aud severe pain, which continued near
ly twenty-four hours, notwithstanding the ut
most efforts of physicians. Never taste a thing
of which yon know nothing.
“We intend to hold these Mexican adher
ents and apologists, big and little, up to the
scorn and reprobation of the American peo
ple. They have a foretaste of the sentence
that awaits them, in the doom of the “ moral
traitors’* of the last war. One generation has
passed away since the great moral crime of the
latter was committed, and yet its blighting curse
clings to the political fortunes of all their de
scendants. Let the Mexican sympathizers lake
warning. ’ — Wash. Union.
Tlie foregoing is the closing paragraph of a
long article, in the Executive Organ, the tem
per and spirit of which may be inferred from
this extract. Such language, says the Balti
more American , must sound very strangely to
Mr. Buchanan, now the “heir apparent” of
Mr. Polk, if not his designated successor, who,
it will be remembered, was one ofihe most con
spicuous among those at whom Mr. Polk's
organ points the finger of scorn, as “ the M'jral
traitors of the last War !” Docs the “ blight
ing curse” of that “great moral crime” cling
lo the fortunes of this political Harlequin—this
hitler reviler of Jefferson and Madison—this
rabid hater of the lirpubliraus of’ild—this rav
ing denouncer of the last war, as well as of the
“ disgraxefid 11 treaty of peace by which it was
terminated ? His “sentence,” at least, it
strikes us, has been mild enough! Sitting,
ike Mordecai the Jew, in the King's gate, he
may be willing to incur, for the sake ofihe high
honor, the burning censures thus Hung in his
very teeth, for the “great moral crime,” of
which he stands convicted by his own words:
But, unless there be a tacit compact between
the ductile Secretary and the official Elitor,
that he is to bear patiently the infliction, us the
just penalty of his offence, so long not only
“ unwhipt of justice.” hut rewarded by the
highest offices in the gift of the Executive, by
whose Organ he is thus cruelly flagellated, we
are at a loss to conceive how even his prover
bial meekness can pocket the flagrant insult.
Copper Ore Mixing — We mentioned yes

the arrival at this port of the propeller
“ Goliath.” freighted with copper ore from the
famous Cliff Mmes. While at our wharf she
was visited by a large number of our citizens,
attracted by the peculiar character of the mine
ral. The larger part of the ore is in large
masses or boulders of native copper, weighing
from 200 to nearly 4000 pounds; 20 ofthem
actually weighed over 2000 pounds each. One
piece, of a square shape, eighteen inches thick,
and apparently pure copper, was marked 15.707
pounds, it was cut from a single mass weigh
ing, in the mine, 40 tons, or HO.OOO pounds
We noticed boulders marked 2,708, 2,GGO, 11,-
707 pounds, See.
There is no doubt that this country is des
tined to export immense quantities of copper,
besides supplying its own wants. A few years
ago we imported large quantities of lead from
England and other nations; now we Hend it.
not only to Great Britain and other European
countries, hut to China. Shortly American

Provincial Presidency of Mexico, }
Toluca, Sept. ‘27, 1847. s
Excellent Sir— In the discharge of an iusuparuble
duly iui|t<ised upon me by tlie constitution, for the
faithful discharge of which I urn responsible to God
and my country, I have resolved lo commence from
this moment the exercise ofihe Supiemc Executive
■ (lower of the Republic, and to organize a government
which may become the centre of the National Union,
and may save Mexico from the anarchy and dissolu
tion which threaten it under its present circumstances
—c; re u instances by which the invader himself doubt
less sees with surprise how much his designs ot occu
pation or conquest are promoted, the state being with
out a head, and public affairs involve i in utter confu
sion. Ma yit never be said of me by my countrymen
or by foreigners friendly to Mexico, that through uiy
irresolution or cowardice the nation was abandoned t<>
her sad fate, and that 1 alone am rcspon>ible for the
awful destiny that awaits tier, unless some constitu
tional authority gathers up and unites again the lies,
now broken, which should bind the States ofihe repub
lie together, and which may yet make ofthem a re
spectable and ptwerful nation. lum fully of opinion
that without Iteing wanting iu any of the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution. I can at this moment,
and alone, assume executive (tower; but even were
there some constitutional requirements with which I
could not rigorously comply, the same being by the
force of circumstances rendered impossible, even then ,
I say, 1 should feel bound to place myself at the head
of the Administration of the Republic, ns being called
to power by the constitution, and in order to prevent a
contest lor this newer which would inevitably ensue,
by force of arms bringing on civil war by which the
Republic would be destroyed in the very presence of
an army of invaders. When the public power of a
nation cannot be embodied in a form strictly constitu
tional, the way to avoid anarchy cannot be to establish
an Administration absolutely unconstitutional and
revolutionary, but to organize a government as nearly
in conformity with the constitution as is possible.—
These arc my views and 1 flatter myself that they arc
likewise entertained by your Excellency ; but I re
peat lo you that my conscience is tranquil, when 1 as
sure y»»ur Excellency that 1 have not the slightest
doul l ol the constitutionality of the («ower and duty
incumbent upon me of discharging the executive
functions of the nation by myself alone, and without
waiting lor the assembling of Congress or the Council
of Government, or the nomination of associates.
This, my resolution of instituting from this moment
the National Government, may perhaps attract npm
me the hatred of some faction, which from the bloody
ruins of the Republic may raise its head fierce to dis
pute for the possession of power for a few’ days, which
will be to me but a martyrdom ; such a faction may
|>erliaps prevail against the efforts which the nation will
doubtless make for its own salvation. But ifthis pre
sentiment should be realized, 1 shall have discharged
my duty, and should 1 survive the last convulsions of
the Republic, i shall retire to lament the file of my
country with no other solace than the tranquillity ot
mv conscience. Your Excellency will acknowledge
that this is perhaps the last attempt at the formation of
a government which may be made in our unhappy
country, aud it awakens my deepest scnsibiliiius to
think that in this great work of political reorganization
I iWidcmc runs mmtsned my country with so weak |
| an instrument as_ 1 v Duly one consideration sumnrts 1

! reunion of the National Congress in the city of Ctucre

j to effect this reunion, and lo remove as far as possible
the obstacles in the way of it, I shall afford my coun
trymen the must incontestable evidence ot my disin
terestedness and of the desire which animates me to
exercise no authority not absolutely indispensable to
avoid civil war or anarchy.
To give an impulse to my Administration in the out
set, I have apptinted the Deputy D. Luis tie l<t Rosa
Minister of Foreign and Internal Relations, authori
zing him at the same time to discharge the most press
ing duties ofihe other departments, until in Queretaro
1 can make the necessary nominations lor each of
them. When the Cabinet shall thus be formed I shall
direct to the Republic a manifesto, which will contain
a programme of iny transient Administration. The
signature of Senor Rosa has hem belore recognised,
lie having at other limes filled the Departments ol the
Treasury and of Justice.
In communicating the above to your Excellency, I
have the honor of assuring you of my distinguished
consideration. God and Liberty.
To the Governors ofihe States.
Circular of the Secretary of State .
Ministry of Foreign and Internal Relations, }
September 27, 1347- )
Excellent Sii —His Excellency the President of
the Supreme Court of Justice, in exercise of the Su
preme Executive power, has seen fit to appiini me
Minister of Foreign and Internal Relations: also au
thorizing me to discharge the most urgent duties of the
other departments, as you will perceive by the note
addressed lo you by the President, which is subjoined
to this communication.
By the same note your Excellency will perceive tint
the Provisional President proposes to issue in Qucreta
ro, when his Cabinet shall have been completed, a man
ifesto containing a programme ol his Administration.
In the mean lime his Excellency deems it fitting to
submit briefly to the Governors of the Stales, and
through them* to the honorable Legislatures, some ol
the principles by which his policy will be directed in
the provisional exercise of Supreme Executive power.
The relations of the General Government of the
Union with the Governments of the States will be
conducted with the utmost frankness and good faith.
Nothing will be more grateful to his Excellency the
President than to preserve harmony and good under
standing bet ween the Supreme National Government
and the Supreme authorities of each Stale —harmony
without which all would be discord and confusion in
the federal system. His Excellency the President,
without encroaching upon the constitutional powers of
the States, will only require of them, in support of
the constitution, that submission and respect which is
the basis of the federal pact, and without which the
Supreme Government of the Union would he impo
tent to maintain the N itioual Union at home, and yet
more impotent to make the nationality of Mexico re
spected abroad. The President will not content him
self with merely respecting, as it is his duly to do,
the independence conceded by the constitution to each
State relative to its internal administration ; but it will
be gratifying for him to learn the opinion of the su
preme authorities of the States upon grave political
• questions at the present epoch, ami to govern his action
by such opinions legally expressed in the difficult
measures which his Administration will lie called up
on lo lake. Carrying out these principles, his Ex
cellency the Provisional President confidently relies
upon the most efficient co-operation of your Excellency,
and all the States, to sustain the independence and na
tionality of Mexico, to preserve from eveiy assault the
federal institutions, whatever may ho the danger and
the gravity of circumstances, since recent events have
led to the occupation of the capital of the Republic bv
the army of the invaders. All the measures ol the
War Department will be directed mainly to the at
tainment of the important ends above indicated.
His Excellency the President regards it ns one of
his chief duties to facilitate by all possible means the
assembling of the National Congress, and he trusts
your Excellency will dictate every measure in your
power lobring about such reunion; that yon will
again invite the Deputies from your State to repair lo
the city of Querctaro; aud tint you will provide for
their expenses on the Journey thither and during their
residence in that city, charging these expenses to the
contingent account. Should any Deputies from other
Stales to the General Congress he passing through
your State or now he residing therein, you are author
ized lo provide the means necessary for their journey
thither and residence at Qneretaro, upon the terms al
ready mentioned.
As the greatest scandal which could he presented
to foreign nations would be the sight of our country
invaded by a foreign foe, and at the same lime torn
by anarchy, his Excellency the President is deter
mined lo save the nation from thisoporubrinin at what
ever cost; lo avoid also, l»y whatever measures (xilicy
and cire 11 inspect ion can dictate, even the slightest oc
casion or motive for sedition ; mid it this should not
he sufficient, ho is determined, with the aid of the
1 Staten, lo repress every attempt at revolution what
( ever, vmploying for that purpose, in alt their extent
and energy, the constitutional and extraordinary pow
. era with which he is invested, 'fhe President ex
( peels likewise that your Excellency, to put down se
dition, will employ all the powers and all the resources
1 of the Stale or the federation, let what may he the
! class or category of persons who may in any form un
dertake to disturb public order or attack our institu
tions.
As your Excellency is made by the constitution
' more immediately'responsiblu for the preservation of
public order in the State under your command, the
I President will omit nothing which may give lo your
authority all the energy and vigor possible, and with
* this view he has directed, by virtue of the extraordi
nary powers with which he is invested, that in case
any attempt whatever should he made in any Stale to
disturb public order or to subvert the federal system,
the powers of (he i.omnuitulnnles generates snail he
employed lo siip)»ort and sustain by lh« forces under
[* their orders, the measures of the Government of such
Stale said romnuuuLinten being likewise directed
that in all affaira within their supervision they conduct
themselves with the utmost harmony and good under
standing in their transactions with the Govcrniaeala
of the States.
His Excellency the President deems it proper Id
(ay down in this communication another of the prill- •
ciples by which ho proposes to regulate his Adminiak 1
iration. His Excellency can assure Mexicans, end r
alt the inhabitants of the Republic, and he now as- ,
1 sin's your Excellency, that under bhgovertimentall l,
the legitimate interests of every class of society shall
l»c inviolably respected; and if nnfooiuiately f*~ y . f

Thk following account of the gallantry of
this young Georgian, we find in the Charleston
, Mercury, extracted from a letter from an officer
of the 2nd Dragoons, to a gentleman in
Charleston :
“ 1 The South Carolina Regiment behaved with dis
: tinguished gallantry at Chiirubtisco. and again at the
storming of Chapultepec In the former they suffer
ed terribly, losing one-third of their number, and very
severely also in the latter, so that now, out of the nine
hundred men, who conqiosed the Regiment when it
left Charleston, it can muster but about eighty or
ninety. I should say, though, that sick ness at Puebla
1 had reduced them more than half before we left that
city. S. Sumter was wounded at Uhurubusco, but is
rapidly regaining his health. I take <jreal plea
sure in relating an account of an exploit of our
friend Longslreef, who highly distinguished himself
at the tele du pont at Churubtisco. This work was
very strong, and its guns were served by the desert
ers from our army, who fought with the energy of
despair, whilst a hail-storm of musket balls poured
upon our columns from all parts of the parapet, from
the fortified church near by, am) from the banks of
the canal. This terrific tin* drove back a regiment
in confusion ii)NmtheSth Infantry, (Longstreet’s.) and
it also began lo waver, when L, seized the regimental
colors, and accompanied by another officer, (Captain
Bomford) rushed forward, calling iqion all brave
lo follow their standard. The men, cheered by this
courageous act, rushed will* a shout upon the t't* </u
pont. Longstroot, still bearing the colors, ran in iid-_
vance of all to the very ditch of the work ; it was full
hi- rkauicJ «’ i • I U m: mi _
Isle ambfinkinent, planted t»Ts MaflWnd dIF the fort,
which his bold act had caused all to fly from, save the
deserters, who fearing, if they ran, they would be
shot by the Mexicans, stood their ground to the last,
and all of them (about eighty) were made prisoners.
L. was badly wounded in approaching the city on the
loth, but lie is recovering rapidly Hiil was iu the
storming party at Chapultepec, but cam*- off unhurt.
Thomas, Brown. Judd, ami Austine are safe and well.

as well as we are capable of doing in words.
our deep and heartfelt gratitude lo Capt. C. M. Clay
for his attention and kindness whilst we were prison
ers with the enemy.
When Capt. Henri made his escape, and the Mex
* ican commander, excited by that event, gave orders
j l«»r the massacre of the Americans, Capt. Clay ex
■ claimed: “Kill the olficers—spare the soldiers !” A
I Mcx lean Major ran lo him, presenting a cocked pistol
jto his breast. He still exclaimed: “Kill me—kill
1 j the officers, but spare the men—they are innocent !*’
i Who but C. M. Clay, with a loaded pistol to bis heart,
I and in the hand of an enraged enemy, would have
shown such magnanimous self-devotion ? If any man
ever was entitled to be called the “soldier’s friend,”
he is. He was ever watchful and kind towards us,
allowing every privilege that would he granted by
I our enemies—turned all orders and commands into
advice and consolement: and upon our march to the
city would take turn by turn, allowing us to ride his
mule, that we might stand the inarch of forty miles a
day; divided the last cent of money he had with us,
and resorted to every sacrifice to make us happy and
comfortable. He disposed of his unde, when lie
found it necessary, the only animal he had, his buffa
lo rug, his watch, and all his .doilies but one suit,
and supplied our wants. He not only acted in this
manner towards those who were under his hnruedi
( ate command, but to all ; and expressed his regret
that he was unable to do more.
We make no comments upon the character and con
duct ot Capt. Olay. Wc state facts, —we feel, but
have no language to express our feelings.
Lieut. Davidson is also a full-hearted man. He di
vided with us lo the last cent. Clay and David

Wool-Growing in Texas. — A late number of

Ri • Grande for three or tour bit* a head, and the ex
pense of driving them to the western frontier is com
paratively trifling.
Me xican settlements on the Ki« Grande are
not so far beyond the western bounds of Texas
that the sheep spoken of bv the Telegraph have
lo he driven over 300 miles. Wc wonder why
Mr. Polk does not set up a claim to all the

against their will. Surely, the one claim is
quite as honest as the other.

Peach Trees. —It is id* generally known, wc
believe, that lamp oil, or fish oil, of any kind (that
which is inferior is equally as gnotl lor this purpose as
that of a bettor quality,) (mured at the root of the
peach free will effectually prevent the ravages of the
worm that has heretofore proved so destructive to that
valuable fruit tree. It ah mid be observed, however,
that the oil will not compel the worm to quit the body
**f the tree, if there when it is applied, but will prevent
its getting into it after the application. We nre as
sured the same process is in use on Long Island, and
is lotind to be the only means which will secure tlie
preservation of the tree. — Columbian llepublu'an.
We have found much benefit from the ap
plication of powdered charcoal, leached ashes
and lime, in equal parts, around the roots and
trunks of peach trees, after the surface soil was
removed. This not only keeps off insects, hut
improves the fruit and the growth of the trees.

Tka.—Wo learn by a communi
cation in the Union, that the Hon. Jaint*
Buchanan. Secretary of Stale, has recently
received a package of tea grown in Brazil,
from onr Consul al St. Catharines. The leaf is
something larger and darker than the Chinese
tea; its flavor is strong and aromatic, and re
sembles the best specimens! roin China. When
prepared, it strongly assimilates the mixture
ol black and green tea. so much—indeed, al
most exclusively—drank in England, after
China, the greatest tea-drinking country in the
world. The tea plant was first introduced in
to Brazil by King John, of Portugal. The
writer of the communication slates that the
successful cultivation of this plant in the United
Slates, may ho looked upon as a mater of cer
tainty; us a climate exists in the States of North
and South Carolina. Georgia. Tennessee. Flo
rida. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tex
as. extending one degree south of the Rio
Grande, precisely similar to the climate of the
tea-growing districts-of China.
There seems little room for doubt in regard
to the practicability of growing the Tea plant
in the Southern States. It has been cultivated
as fur North as Southern Pennsylvania. We
trust measures will he taken to give it a fair
j trial. The addition of another staple to the

sons were killed and 10-l injured : making. du
