the publication of which was recently commenced

••.MsMAKIN't MODEL AMERICAN COURIER.'
Wo hart received the two first numbers of this
truly valuable and instructive sheet, which is the
successor of the Saturday Courier. so long and
favorably known to the reading public as one of the
very best literary newspapers in the country. In
elegance of typographical execution, at least, if
oat in other respects, the Courier is certainly fully
entitled to the appellation of “ Model Newspaper.”
It has been greatly enlarged and improved, and we
are pleased to learn by an acknowledgement from
the editor in the 3d number, that the public prop
erly appreciate the eflorts of Mr. McMskin, i
evinced by the fact that immense numbers of
subscribers are daily coming in.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOfl
If anything further were needing to confirm the
doubtful as to Gen. Taylor's politics, the following,
we think, will be found sufficient to satisfy the
most skeptical. We have recently returned from
m tour to the upper counties, and have found una
nimity of sentiment prevailing among the Whigs
in relation to the nomination of Old Rough and
Ready, every where except in the county of Lump-
kin—where, we are sorry to say, there appears to
be some doubts entertained qs to his soundness in
the Whig creed, by a portion of the Whigs of that
county. We would especially commend to their
serious attention, the following letter from the Old
Hero, in which he declares he is “ a Whig, and has
no desire U> conceal the fact from the people—that
he should look to tile constitution, and
principles of a party, for his rules of action, should
he he elected,” What more can the Whigs desire
We all profess to look to THE CONSTITUTION
ns the great chart by which the ship of State should
be navigated—they cannot wish the President of
their choice to violate its principles: on the con
ry, this is, as we understand it, the very thing
are contending for—the election of a man to the
Presidency, who mil be governed by that instrument,
the spirit, if not the very letter of which, we r
tain, has been violated by the opposite party, time
, >” and again, when in power.
And have not oar Whig friends seen the evils of
promulgating a party creed—a sort of political con
fession of faith—the principles of which the nom
inee of a party convention is pledged to carry out,
folly exemplified in the ease of tho present
GOV. TOWNS AND MW CHICS ENGINEER.
From the newspapers as well as from private
rmrera. ws learn that grsat dissatisfaction prevails
in Cherokee Georgia in regard to the conduct of
Mr. Mitchell, the Chief Engineer whom Gov.
appointed to supersede Kr. Garnett, whose
administration ot the aflalrs of the road gave gen
eral satisfaction, and whose removal vis effected
purely on party grounds.
This is nothing more than wie expected would be
e case as soon as tha appointment Was an
nounced : arid so far as friend Mitchell and the in
terests of the State are concerned, we
that it was ever made. There seems to be a gen
eral disphsition among the newspapers to “ victim
ize” the Engineer, and let bis Excellency go free.
This we think entirely wrong. And we are glad
to find from recent intercourse with the people of
Cherokee that with them a different sentiment pre
vails, as they are dispoeed to find fanh with the
Governor for maklbg the appointment; and curses
deep and loud now fall from the lips of the very
men who elevated him to the position be how
copies. That Mr. Mitchell’s Conduct has been
what might reasonably be expected from a Chief
Engineer of the State Road we shall not pretend
to say; but had Gov. Towns or any body else
right to expect anything better at his hands ? Did
any man of common sense think at the time the
appointment was made, he would be able to give
general satisfaction in an office where practical
formation of a kind it was not reasonable to sop-
pose he possessed, was an essential requisite to
success ? We entertain no unfriendly feelings to
Mr. Mitchell; on the contrary, we are ; "
state that in this community as a faithful attorney
and good citizen—as a man and a Christian, he
stands very fair—though we presume few would
covet his fame as Chief Engineer of the State.
Let Gov. Towns be held responsible for the En
gineer’s acts; he turned out a faithful and efficient
public servant because be was a Whig—refused to
appoint an accomplished practical engineer of his
party, because he would not pledge himself to
turn out all the Whigs on the road—and finally
conferred the appointment on Wm. L. Mitchell,
Attorney at Lau>—an appointment which at the
is made we said, and still think,exhibited
about as much discernment as would the employ-
at of a blacksmith to make a fashionable coat!
the appointment of a house-carpentcr to a
Judgeship of the Superior Court!
The following article from the Atlanta Miscella
ny—the statements contained in which we have
heard corroborated by leading men in the Demo
cratic party of Cherokee—will throw some light
the subject of Mitchell’s appointment and sub
sequent conduct The Democratic papers of Cher
okee are out agaiast him for retaining certain sub
ordinates on the road who are Whigs. Really,
think be should bo censored for this by the
most uncompromising Locofoco in the State—for
he is not the man to keep them there, if he could
help himself.

Mr. Mitciiell’s “ Liberality.”—A good joke
is told on Mr. Mitchell, the present Chiet Engi
neer of the State Road, which, as it may be of in
terest to bis Democratic friends, we will take the
liberty to repeat. It ia well known that the office of
Chiet Engineer was tendered by the Governor to
Mr. Cooper, who refused to accept it unless he
could be permitted to retain the services of one or
two Whigs—personal friends of his—who had been
engaged upon the work from its commencement.
Mr. Mitchell, who was present at the interview
between the Governor and Mr. Cooper—who was,
by-the-by, introduced to the latter by the former—
warmly urged his acceptance of the office on the
terms proposed, remarking that it was a duty he
owed the l’arty to turn out every Whig and put in
men ot his own political faith. Mr. Cooper thought
differently—he owed as much to his friends as to
his pnrty—and, being assured that the appointment
ild not be conferred expect on terms which he
end to the Monarchy.
The Deputies opposed a Republic, but were tee -
overpowered by the people. The troops of the line
fraternised with the National Guards, and the Na
tional Guards with the People. At the last dates
all Paris was in the hands of the National Guards
and the People.
4 procession passed through the streets, carrying
the Throne oot of the Tuifienea, and in triumph,
singing the Marseilles Hymn.
There has been a frightful loss of life, and in
many instances troops have refused to act against
the people. The number of killed is said to be up
wards of FIVE HUNDRED,, principally in
neighborhood of the Palace and the Tuiileries.
It is said that Gen. Lemoncure had been either
killed or dangerously wounded.
Tha people have taken pdieswjion of die rail
ways, and tom up the raiU-on the line to prevent
the approach of troops.
The mob were in possession ef the Tuiileries,
and hava thrown the furniture ft* of the windows.
At the time Of the departure of the Cambria, it
wal thought a strong government would be organ
ized, and a Republic on the model of the United
States was proposed.
There was no change in the Cotton Market.—
There had been a slight advance, but not sus
tained, on account of the poor demand for
hfactured goods.

well posted up—and were not long in winding up
their affaire. Mr. Mitchell came; and all hands
were ready to “ vamona—but he couldn’t spare
them just then—the business was new to him, and
if they all left he didn't know what he should do!
They must remain a while longer, anyhow. Sev
eral ol the old officers did consent to remain, final
ly, but not nntil the liberal Mr. Mitchell agreed to
material increase of their salaries !
We relate this anecdote, not for the purpose of
nsuring Mr. Mitchell for retaining these gentlc-
cn in the service ot the State—for in that he act
ed like a man of sense—but merely to show his
■tency. Had he exerted his influence with the

leaving that gentleman free to retain whomsoever
he pleased, we doubt not the public interest would
have been greatly enhanced; the same gentlemen
would have been retained, and all things gone on
swimmingly. But no, that wouldn’t suit him—the
proscriptive clruse must be inserted—it was “due
the. Party that all Whigs should be turned out of
office and Democrats pat in”—and if no one else
would accept the office on those terms, he would.

THE GEORGIA BOYS IN MEXICO.
Since onr last issue, we have received the par
ticulars of the skirmish which occurred on the 19th
ult., between the guerrillas and Capt Wofford’s
company from Cass county, on the road between
Orizaba and Vera Cruz. It would appear from the
account published below, written for the Cass-
ville Pioneer by a participant in the bloody affray,
and is therefore presumed to be correct, that it was
a brilliant affair, and reflects great credit on the
Cherokee boys. The letter from w hich the follow
ing extract is made, is dated “Vera Cruz, March 1st.’
“ Since our arrival at this place, we have been
constantly kept in motion, scouring the country,
iround the city for forty miles, in quest of an enemy

INDIAN DIFFICULTIES IN YUCATAN.
From the New Orleans Daily Crescent of the
16th inst., we learn that by a recent arrival at that
city, intelligence of Indian depredations in Yncatan
had been received. It appears that large numbers
of Indians had attacked, and in some instances
burnt considerable towns. At one place, 31 per
sons had been killedj arid their dwellings burnt by J jj
the savages. Valladolid, one of the largest cities
of Yucatan, had been (though unsuccessfully.) be
sieged by them. Great alarm prerailed at the la
