SAVANNAH.
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, J847.
WaH on this M#xican Chuhgii.—The Calk-
olie Observer, of Boston, comes down with ter
rible severity upon the Administration In an
article under the above camion, from which we
give the following extracts, whfch hit the bull’s
eye:
'•The Tact- that the pretended denial of the
Unfon does not deny the proposition must be
taken It a confirmation of it. Nobody is sim
ple enough to believe that the Union *a* fotm-'
ally authorized to make its Infamous proposl-
lion, nor is any one silly enough to suppose it
would make so important a proposition without
knowing that It was proposing what accorded
With the sentiments of the Administration.—
The article was written and thrown out as a
feeler, but so written as to be disavowed in case
U shbuld be found to shock public opinion too
much; and we have not the least doubt that the
Administration entertained the proposition, and
was prepared to adopt It, IT It appeared Jhat
it could do so with safety to itself. Whether,
therefore, the Government now intends adopting
ft or not, we bold It responsible for. having
made it. ,
Moreover, It Is worthy of note that not a press,
so far as we have seen, friendly-to the Adinln-
inistratlon, has denounced It. This Tact is ex
pressive. Such a proposition made in the offi
cial organ ofthe party should have excitftf a
universal burst of indignation front one end of
the country to the other, but no opposition has
been manifested but by the party opposed on
other grounds to the Administration, with the
exception of one or two of our Catholic presses.
There is something alarming in this silence,
iM*iMiiir lctnci; SyiflMii nf ~ JiC A ' im " iU 7
™ « Caihollcs~we of course denounce such a I
bate and sacrilegious policy. We hold the
property of the Church, the gift of the faithful,
the pious, and the charitable, to be saefed, and
that it cannot without sacrilege lie dlverted.lrom
the purposes intended by the donors. If onr
Government may proceed to divert, to seques
trate it to other purposes th other countries, it
may as the next step proceed to do it at home.
If it Is willing to so any where, it shows that it
recognises no law of religion, that it holds no
thing sacred, and that we have and can have no
security that it will not do so whenever it has
the power, and finds it or fancies it Tor its inter
est to do so. *
w "But wa-denounce this proposition still more
vehemently as American cltitens. We are
Catholics, but vfe are also Americans—Ameri
can citizens—and have as deep an interest in
the honor and prosperity of onr country as those
who are at the head of affairs. We have here
tofore believed our Government ranked among
civilized Governments,and we wish it to con
tinue to do so still, and therefore are indignant
when it attempts to carry on a,war in a man
ner that Is contrary to the roles of civilized
warfare. .It is not in accordance with the mod
ern rates of war, as recognized by civilized na
tions, to make war on the religious and chari
table institutions of onr enemies; and a war
of propagandism by a Government which pro
fesses no religion, but recognises the equal
right of all loihe protection of the laws, is too
great a solecism to be tolerated in open day.
"In the present war, though against a Catho
lic country, Catholics have been amongst the
readiest and firmest supporters of the Govern
ment. We have furnished ^probably three times
our quota, according to otur proportion of the
population, of both officers and men to the army
in Mezico. The Administration knows this.—
We did not ask whether the Mexicans were
Catholics or not; we regarded them simply as
the enemies of our country, (or it did not occur
to tis that it was the religion of the Mexi-
Attention Whig, of ChntlinM Count*.
A meeting of the Whig Pnrty of Chatham
County will be held at the Lyceum Hell on
Tuccday Evenino next, the 16t^nne, Height
o’clock, for the purpose of electing Delegates to
represent this CoutfJ in the Gubernatorial Con
vention to meet at Milledgcviile on the lit day
of July.
Our Whig friends from the country ate ear
nestly invited to be present ttf take part in our
deliberations. It is important tbatold Chatham
should have a full and efficient representation.
|Qr We observe that onr Whig friends in some
of the Southern Counties have not yet elected
their Delegates to the Milledgeville Convention.
It*is high time that they should be upnnd doing.
The Convention will meet on the first day or
July, and but little time is led. We hope soon
to hear from them.
Or The lest and most wholesome beverage
(o drink during the warm months, is Outer's
" Ginger Pop.” * It is infinitely superior to
aoda, Julips, cock-tails, and the thousand and
one other drinks that are made to tickle the
palate. This, at all events, is our opinion, af
terleisurely discussing the matter over half a
dozen bottles sent us yesterday.
iv»m cvh WtM.MM.-t we hare rerctvn
the tweniy-nlnih number qfAppleton's Litgraxy
Miscellany, "'Prevention Better than Cure, or
Moral Wants ol the World We Llv$ in,” by
Mrs. Ellis.
We have not read this book, but the name of
its author is a guaranty for the excellence of its
contents. Her "Women of England,” and*
"Wives or England” have been universally ad
mired, both by bachelors and "victims of con-
nnbiality;” but we rather think that it would
lake a more powerful pressure thah that of the
hydraulic steam press to condense all the "mor
al wants of the world we live in” into the com
pass of the neat little volume before us.
From the glance we have taken over its con
tents, we should judge that it contains many
valuable practical suggestions, with reference
to the education of children, which, as the quack
medicines say, "will prove a real blessing to
mothers.”
Kail-Uuad Mbetinu at Cqoss Plains, Mur-
ray County, Gtoaau.—At* a meeting held on
the 18th of May, at Cross Plains, of which As-
sAt.osrlloLcoMB t*a* President, the following
preamble and resolutions,- among others, were
adopted:
Whereas, the Western A Atlantic Rail-Road
is approximating to a state of completion to
Cross Plains, in Murray, county, the point de
signated by our last Legisliture; and whereas,
the act authorising the construction and com
pletion of said Road, expressly says, said Road
shall not proceed any fnrther only from tha nett
proceeds of aaid Road, after paying all debts
and demands against said Road, to wit: 0130,-
000 loaned to the State fdr the completion of the
same, with interest, Ac., and agreeable to the
showing pf the present Chief Engineer in his
last report, the nett profits of sala Road would
not more than pay half the interest on said
loan. And, whereas, we have learned with
surprise and regret, that the present Chief En
gineer has indicated as his intention to let out
contracts during the present year on that por
tion of -said Western A Atlantic Rail-Road,
long since abandoned by the State, West of
Cross Plains, to Chattanooga, and that such a
course would be a violation aud an infraction
of the laws by an agent under the employ of the
Cross Plains, instead ol goifig lo a proper ter-,
miaus. They must be sincere. No local.eon*
•iderations een sway their judgments, or cast a
shadow of the pure fountains of their Slate
pride and patriotism. True, Savannah find
Augusta and Macon and Columbus, which
pay the bulk of the taxel, are interested in the
extension—true, every Rall-Road-ln tjie State
and every stockholder of eyery Rail-Road, the
State herself among them, is interested in the
extension—true, it is that the State pledged her
self to the people of Georgia to carry the Road
to the Tennessee, thus inducing the Rail-Road
companies by this legislation to spend enor
mous sums of money to complete their Roads to
the State work. It is a conceded fact too, that
this State nsketLof Tennessee the right to go
some fifteen miles within her borders to the riv
er, and this privilege was granted by Tennes
see in the most liberal manner; thus pledging
the Slate in the strongest manner to the com
pletion of the work. But the fifty or sixty lo*
holders of Cross Plains, whose ‘Slate pride and
individual honor are unimpeached, have ta-
State for specific purposes, which should and Jfen a new view of the case to which they evi-
mill not be tolerated by the citixeus of the State
,of Georgia:
Be il (Sere/ore Resolved, Thai we will enforce
the law on the Chief Engineer, or any other
person or persons who may es*»av to extend the
Western & Atlantic Rail-Road of Georgia,-be
yond the incorporated limits of Cross Plains,by
letting out contracts or otherwise, until directed
by.h special net of the Legislature or Georgia.
Resolved, further, That we look.upon the
Chief Engineer’s last prolix document in regard
to said Road, more of a dictum to the people of
Georgia, than a financial report of said Road,
nnd one that savour* mnrebt interest to a few,
. than to. the interest of the State, or the people
'd "gTttctitfrjr i o error.
Resolved, further, That we look upon the
extension of said Road, as a suicidal stab upon
the Interest of nine-tenths of the people of Geor
gia, and that the true issue, is a few lot holders
in Chattanooga, and the individual Rail-Road
interest, vs. the balance of the people of Georgia.
Further, That we are not actuated by any
selfish motives in giving these expressions—
that we are willing to make any personal sac
rifices for the public good, and ns we had a Stale
pride' to construct and complete said Road lo
Cross Plains, we now maintain the said pride
ently expect jibe remaining seven hundred
thousand cltlzi ns of Georgia will bow respect
fully.
T^e speculi ors in lots at Cross Plains want
ketp the I osd stationary till they sell ont.
The iizerestiof nearly,one-half of the entire
South ratst itand still that Cross Plains may
rise. It U Cross Plains against Chkttanooga.
The lots In latter place are arrayed In di
rect and thrmening hostility to those in the
mlilst of Ibe foods, «nd hence all this’pother.
Continue ihe Bbad, and the speculators in tuts
Cross Plains will fall/io enrich themselves
the etyenwfof their edeemed fellow-citizens,
whose interests they nave so kindly taken
charge of. These people tell the farmers of
the Cherokee,\(hat if flour and bacon come
down from Tennessee, they will be undersold.
ffittr-ootnplinvmt to the intelligence of their
friends, this, tdfersnade them to believe the
very reverse ofl what is true, for it is a well
known fact that the more flour, and the more
to keep it there, or within the limits of our State, bacon, and olhemoducts that tend towards the
cans on which ourGovernment proposed tomake
war. To torn the war against the church, to hold
out as the motive for doing so, as the ‘Union’
does, that the church is a mere political estab
lishment, coveting its wealth only as the means
of enslaving and brutalizing the people, and to
compel Catholic officers and soldiers to aid in
overthrowing it, is a refinement of malice wor
thy only of belt, and will justly ’damn’ the Ad
ministration that dares adopt it ’lo everlasting
fame.’
"We know our countrymen well, Proiesiani
as well as Catholic: and, with individual ex
ceptions, we do not believe any portion of them
will, when the case is fairly presented, consent
to make war upon the religion of any nation.
We are and intend to be a civilized people, and
if the Government chooses to relapse into bar
barism, the people will not sustain it.
"As for ourselves, we do not interfere with po-
lilies; we aim to demean onrselves as good ci
tizens, in subjection to the laws. The public
enemies of the country ate our enemies, and
we are ready lo do all that good citizens can be
required to do to defend onr country. But if
the Government makes war on our religion we
cannot fight its battles. There is a law above
that of men. Our religion is sacred; we cannot
ir hand against ii; no Catholic can, either
e or abroad. You may kill ns; weeandie.
fir The Southern Literary Messenger, for
June, has been received. The leading article
is a continuation ol Campbell's History of the
Colony of Virginia, ol which five more chapters
are given, containing an account of the cele
brated Bacon’s Rebellion.
Of the merits of this History, we cannot
judge, for it is Impossible to fo^m a correct
opinion from monthly fragments; the plan of
publication, in onr opinion, does justice neither
to the Author nor to the reader; it Is badenoilgh
to be tantalised with scraps of novels, but th£
j»lan pursued in bringing out an original His.
torical narration, is the worst that possibly could
be adopted. ,
The Editor contributes some sensible remarks
on the legal profession, of which he is himself
member; he considers it the conservative
qlementof the Republic, and bis opinion con
curs with that of the philosophic De Tocqueville
whose authority is of great weight, and who
has pointed out the remarkable dissimilarity in
this respect, between the American and French
bars.
An article on Living Novelists is also well
written, though we do not think that he folly
appreciates the rare genius of Bulwer, whom
he has undertaken to analyze; critics should be
mindful of preserving the proprieties, when
sticking pins Into the calves of great men’s legs,
or* the public may apply Bishop Watson’s re-
mark about thegeoiogists, who he said "remind
ed him of goats perched upon the back of an
Elephant, endeavoring to understand the struc
ture of the animal, by thrusting their little
stings into his hide.”
The Essay on the "Early Language and Lit
erature of England,” is highly interesting, and
Further, That with an empty Treasury, lands
all reverted and granted, the only means of
raising funds to complete that portion of the
Western A Atlantic Rail-Road between Cross
Plains and Chattanooga, would be by djgyct
taxation, and we shall never give our consent
that the people of Georgia shall be taxed one
million of dollars lo gratify the chimerical
whims of a few.
Further. We believe the people should meet
in primary assemblies, and give their expres.
slons in regard to the extension of said Road,
without distinction of parlies, and instruct their
Representatives to the next and ail succeeding
Legislatures, to use all honorable means against
the appropriation of any moneys for the exten
sion of said Road, until the State of Tennessee
shall construct and complete a Rail-Road from
Nashville to Chattanooga; then, and in that
event, if a majority of the people of the State
deem it to the interest of the State to complete
our Road to Chattanooga, we will be among
Ihe first in sanctioning and prosecuting the same.
We direct the attention not only of our read
ers, but of the citizens of the St etc generally, lo
the above preamble and resolutions.,
According to' onr poor memory, the State
Rail-Road'is a State work, made to subserve
turn onr
at home of abroad. You may kilt ns; we can tlie. displays much research.

countenance a war against the Church or our
affections; and the Administration which seeks
to compel ns to do so, will receive the support
of no Catholic not a base apostate from his faith
and his God.”
Thoughts 6n Peace.—The last number of
the Democrat^ Revihe, asserts, apparently not
without authority, wbat follows, as to the na
ture of the-demands of the United States on
Mezico;
"As to the cession of territory demanded of
the Mexicans, the Administration .will not
claim it as a forfeit, but offer to pay for it, so as
to acquire it by purchase. We want a clear title
or it, and the Administration considers pur
chase the very best of all titles.
"The expenses of the war we will not claim
flrom the Mexicans; and the indemnity which
she owes our citizens, will be assomedjby the
Government of the United States. We shall
then claim no money of Mexico lo any shape,
and are willing to accept land inpayment of
our just demands.
"As to the territory to be ceded or sold to os
By Mexico, we are of opinion that it will not
comprise more than Upper California and
New Mexico, and that our -Government will
not ineief, as a condition of peace, on the right
of way across the Isthmus or Tehuantepec; but
rather makethisa subject for subseequent friend
ly negotiations between the twosister Republics.”
Santa Anna.—The Editors of Ihe New-Or-
I'eans Della nays: "From Lu Patria, of vqp-
terday, we learn that letters have been received
in this city by the way of Tampico, from the
city of Mexico, to the 21st ult., in which it is
stated that Santa Anna arrived in the capital
on the 19th May, as was expected: that his re
ception was very different from what he antici
pated. The populace, or rabble, principally
leperot, assembled to receive the President ad
interim, and showered upon him curses both loud
and deep; and from words, proceeded, as the
old nursery story runs, to try what virtne there
was in stones. His Excellency not being am
bitious to follow the example of St. Stephen,
escaped .with great difficulty, and, protected by
his friends, songht an asylum in the palace.—
The people, indignant at the frequent defeats of
the Mexican armies, and the failure of 8anta
Anna to redeem his numerous promises, sought
16 revenge themselves upon his person.”
Th* Rio Fhi Pass.—This pass will now be
come the great poltat of Interest, as it is evident
the enemy intend to make a stand there, and
that we shall have another severe battle. A
gentleman who haft travelled through the coun
try, and is familiar with this pass, describes it
to us; as much more formidable than that of
Cerro Gordo. It goes through the mountain
with a steep ascent, and for nearly three miles
the road, with high and ragged sides, is only
sufficient to admit the passage ot a single wagon
at a time. There is, we are informed, no possi
bility of turnip it, and no mode or attack, ex
cept by a direct movement, through the pass.
If this really be so, we should think, that with
ordinary science and courage, it could be
readily defended, but we heard pretty much
tho samo story of Cerro Gordo, and we ra
ther think, - wben'the army comes to Rio Frio,

Among the Literary Notices Is one of Dr.
Stevens’ forthcoming History of Georgia, taken
from the proceedings of oar own Historical
Society, and a caustic notice of Griswold^
Prose Writers of America, the justice of which
we»cannot determine, not yet having seen Mr.
G’s.new work.
There is a great deal of verre in thisn umber
of the Messenger, which runs "from fair to
middling.” Upon the whole it is a belter nnm-
ber than usual, and will repay perusal.
Tub American Mail.—We have received the
first number of this new literary paper, estab
lished by P/rk Benjamin in New-York. It is
to be issued every Saturday at the low price of
three dollars a year, payable In advance.
It appears to be an improvement on Ihe "New
World." newspaper, conducted by the same gen
tleman for a long time with eminent success,
and we doubt not with the improved facilities
which be now enjoys, that the "Mail" will more
than fulfil* the very liberal promises of its
Editor. m
Mr. Benjamin is himself a vigorous writer
of both prose and poetry, and the paper under
bis control will be both entertaining and inde
pendent. He Is rather pathetic on the snbjeet
of the"funnitudes” which the name of bis pa
per has given rise to, and implores his corres
pondents not to be facetious on the subject any
more. Judging from the specimens, he has
given, we think he has reason—the puns are al
most as absurd as "ionografy.”
If the succeeding numbers of this paper equal
the specimen before us, it will be a valuable
and welcome visitor to all who would combine
the useful with the agreeable.
Mercer University. — We are pleased lo
learn from the last Federal Union, theflonrishfng
condition of this institution, which ,nownum
bersonehundred and thirty-two students, twelve
of whom are in the theological department, six
ty-one in the collegiate, and eighty-seven in the
academy. We take more pleasure in recording
the fact, because it owes its foundation to the
liberality of a citizen of Savnnnab, the late Mr.
Josiah Penpield, who, in 1829, bequeathed to
the Baptist Convention of the State of Georgia
two thousand five hundred dollars, to aid in the
education of indigent young-men preparing for
the Gospel ministry. From this small begin
ning, Mercer University has risen to its pres
ent palmy state, enjoying, an endowment of
upwards of 0138,000—a library of 2,000 vo
lumes, exclusive of the Society libraries, own
ed by the students—a vgluable^iemical and
philosophical apparatus, and a^raolnet of min
erals. We take both prlde^and pleasure in the

State objects—a work for which the tax paying
citizens in Decatur, and in Rabun, and in every
other county however situated, have contributed,
a* well as those of Murray county. This great
work is yet in an incomplete state, and we sup
pose that the citizens of Georgia intend to show
that they have not relapsed into vandalism du
ring the past)en years—or in other words, that
a Rail-Road nearly done shall be finished de•
facto, according to the intentions already ex
pressed in half a dozen Legislatures,
short years since, before this noble etferpris?
had extended its iron branches lowaml (he Al-
leghanies, who ever -koot.t of ihjVa^uiuia^*
of new houses, that now constliujV the village
of Cross Plains, or who coul* Imagine tbai it:
brave and judicious citizens, would so soon
erect themselves into a law making and a law
construiog community. It is but a few years
since the red man bunted on that ground, and
long ailer the fires on the hearth of the Indian
wereeztinguished forever, such a place as Cross
Plains was unknown. It was virtually nonexis
tent only eight or ten years ago. It is the qjiild
ofthe Western and Atlantic Rail-Road,
it, there would be no vitality, no breath, no
motion in and around it, and its bustling deni
zens would be strutting their brief hour^ some
where else. Now behold this noisy-ilule off
spring of the Slate’s wisdom and energy, so
soon after it is called into existence, utter it:
formidable declaration,
See all things for my use,”
and boldly determine that the State Rail-Road
shall have a terminus, nn end literally in the
midst of an almost virgin forest, where no ter-
minns is, neither as defined by the Legislature,
nor by Nature herself.
Cross Plains then is to be the new cynosure,
the fixed centre around which the whole com
munity of State interests is to revolve in willing
subjection. An obscure country village is
be the centre of our social, political and com
mercial system. National objects, State policy,
the mighty demands of a million of people, are
to give way to the fiat of the villagers of Cross
Plains. The supplications of the entire 8tate
are to be directed towards this epitome of hu<
man passions and frailties, and permission
to be asked of a new born village with its shin
gles yet fresh, to prosecute the State Rail-Road,
Of all ihe follies atyl foibles of the day—of all
the vagaries of crazed enthusiasts, this caps the
climax. The thing whom the popular breath
has warmed into fife, says to its creator, "why
bast thou made me thus—since I am here, learn
to obey my injunctions.” It is Nullification ta
king a Sam Patch leap from the sublime eleva
tion on which State Sovereignty sits, down
tKe polities of Ibe baralet. It is like Gen. Tom
Thumb jumping on a table and swearing
will whip the whole crowd of by-standers.
Is like every thing and any thing that calls
ideas of the ridiculous and Ihe absurd, that
suggests the painful image of impotence and
powerlessness arrogating to itself the attributes
of strength and authority.
The speculators of Georgia have ever been
its curse and desolation; whether borrowing the
money of the Centra] Bank, at the expense
the people to buy lands with or whether,
pow, attempting to arrest a work of national
importance, in order’to sell ont lots in the in
cipient town of Cross Plains. Your genuine
speculators are fashioned after the same model
everywhere. They are ostensibly the friends
the people, of Uw and good order. It is not the
lot holders of Cross Plains that have selfish
views. Ohd no I They are superior to Inch
base imputation, but It is the lot holders of Chat-
tanooga, who are guilty of the atrocity of
robbing and wronging the people of Georgia.
See the resolutions if you doubt It! You will
find there -What the people ol Cross Plains
are loilling to make any personal sacrifices for
the public, good, and you will find too that
Stale pride requires Ihe Road to slop at"or near
Cross Plains. Admirable disinterestedness!
Oglii

better the martot. Thus, a thousand different
channels pour ifc^ir treasures into New-Yofk.
If the strip of csulttry lying on Ihe road from
Atlanta to Cross plains is the only recipient of
the State’s favourilt will be ns unfortunate for
that narrow and stlfish tract as it will be for the
State at large. B t the lot holders will find
that they have cumulated too largely on Ihe
Ignorance and sin dlclty of Cherokee farmers.
That region is not the Bteolia they would have
us believe. This imtd declamation about «»-
der-selling, adds in ufi to injury, for the specula
tors base their sen Hess clamour upon the stu
pidity and ignora ce of the Cherokee people,
and our word for I, they will find the Cherokee
people not one twentieth part so stupid and ig
norant as they believe them to tic.
The speculates in lots at Cross Plains, and
some of the citiaens of Murray County, are
no doubt justly auirehenslve that the State will
throw away too much money for the benefit of
Ihe many, and the ’, considerate and patriotic
gentlemen would, for Ihe benefit of the few,
throw away the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars already expended on the thirty-five miles
of grading (nearly lall of which is done) from
Cross Plains to the terminus of the Road at
Chattanooga. Wft never heard that this part
of the work, with.'its magnificent masonry of
stone piers and abntments all complete, was to be
abandoned nntil the lot holfibp of Cross Plains
ottered their tbreateningjhjnn^ilao. The State

principally to the resolute determination of uU
the inhabitants of small country villages on the
foutee. Ntfw England it becoming coverec^with
Rail-Roads, and there is scarce a village of any
Importance in Massachusetts that cannot boast
its Rail-Road facilities. How different her#in
Georgia—one man is an enemy of the Rail-
Road, because it was not located by the Engl-
neer so as to pass through his lands and Increase
their value. Another is vexed because the
Road does intersect his domaip, and sues for
damages, while the lot-holderflp^Crosa Plains
would convert a magnificent State Road, de
signed to have a double track extending to the
Tennessee River, into a Road with but one
track stopping on- the lots of Cross Plains for
purposes of speculation. This, surpasses any
exhibition of Yankee calculation that we ever
heard of. The cautions thrift of the Yankees
is but another name for generosity and noble
ness, compared with this. They can boast of
schools, academies, college^, and other public
institutions, indicative of large views and lib
eral aims, but your lot-holders at Cross Plains
begin and end with speculation—speculation-
speculation. We can tell them however, om
and all, that their selfish ends cannot be accom
plished. Local, must yield to general interests
if they come in conflict. The local Interests of
the Cherokee generally, are those of the 8outh
at large, and it Is for the State to.say.whether

t»f an empty Treasury, and of direct taxation, that

'vC’tito Meetings.—At a meeting of the Whigs
of Gwinnett, F. Norton, K. T, Terrell, and M
R. Mitchell, were elected Delegates to the Gu
bernatorial .Convention. The nomination of
Col. Calhoun, as the^Whig candidate for the
Slate Senate was concurred in, and the follow
ing Resolutions passed, among others:
Resolved, That Mr. Polk having neither con
sulted the nation, nor waited the action uf Con
gress, the proper war making power, according
to the Constitution, transcended the duties o
bis station in involving the United States in Ihe
present war with Mexico.
Resolved, That the conduct of the respective
armies in Mexico, under the command of Gens.
Taylor and Scott, including officers and private
soldiers, by their brilliant achievements and
good conduct, deserve the thanks of the nation.
Resolved, That Gen. Tavlor, by the evidences
of his patriotism and ability, manifested in the
conduct of the present war, and by that skill and
ndgmrnt which have marked his course in
ormer life, has proven himself well qualified to
discharge the du|ies of President of the United
States: and, in the event of his nomination by
the Whig party and acceptance of the same,
that he merits and will receive onr support.
At a Whig meeting'in Campbell,* W,
Menefee, Robert J. Tuggle and John H. Cor
yell were appointed Delegates. The followinj
preamble and resolutions were also adopted:
We, the Whigs of Campbell county, having
met this day fur especial purposes, and having
performed that duty, deem it a proper time to
make known to the Whigs in Inis section of
the 8tate, and to onr opponents generally, our
inflexible views, purposes and determinations
on the all absorbing topics of the day—the
Mexican war, and the succession both in re
gard to our general and Slate administration.
Resolved, That after the Mexican wnr. was
fnrn-.i upon «. 0/ a uuugttng adtninistraifon—
although we hnd our doubts in regard to its po
licy—but when entered into, it wn* our coun
try’s war; and lo sustain it, in this emer
gency,'we sent able representatives—Taylor,
Scott, Worth, Wool, Kearney, and Perry, with
the younger Clay, Crittenden, Webster, and
Evans—our nation’s boast. *
In Muscogee, a meeting was also held and
the following gentlemen appointed—Hon. G.
E. Thomas, S. W. Flournoy and A. G. Foster;
Esqrs.
The Whigs of Talbot have chosen Dr. H.
P. Smead, Dr. E. C. Myer, A. G. Perryman,
and Wm. Holt, Esqrs., their Delegates.
In Marion. M. Crawford, Robert Burton, and*
Motgan Kemp, Esqv, were chosen Delegates,

cut off the very resoarc?s which the State Road
was designed to reach, for the benefit of the

is not all: yoi> render tie one hundred miles of
Road already constructed from Atlanta to Cross
Plains comparatively viluc1css,and subject the
people nf this State to unannual direct taxation
lo keep it In repair, for n* one expects It to pay
for itself unless it is extetded to Chattanooga.
But this very meeting at Cross Plains admits
that if Tennessee builds the Road from Nash-
Chattanooga, they will yield the point,
at once show some consistency then.
As ffTo reproach them for their selfishness, the
citizens of the little city of Nashville, have
called upon their City Council to subscribe the
snm of 8500,000, (half a million,) towards the
completion of the work, which is thus placed
beyond all contingencies. This is not all
Knoxville Is reviving the HiwasseeRoad,which

not yet reached us.
"We learn, generally, from these volunteers
that evervthig was in a tranquil slate when
they left Santa Fe. The natives of the country
were deprived of the means of doing mischief,
eveh if they were so disposed, having no arms
upon which they conld rely and no ammuni
tion. The courts for the trials of the rebels had
closed both at Taos and Santa Fe, and the
sanguinary executions, which had taken place
under their adjudication, were at end. The old
man at Santa Fe; under sentence of death for
the part which he had played in the dramn of
rebellion, was awaiting the decision of the Pre

young and gallant men. Our informant states,
that nearly four hundred persons were buriea
there; and in the company commanded by Gapt.
Horine. of St. Genevieve, eleven deaths had
taken place. Thirteen others were discharged
from the same company, on account of ill
health. One hundred had been discharged from
Col. Price’s regiment on Ihe same account.
No intelligence of a late date had been re
reived from Chihuahua—nothing no late as we
have by the Mexican papers. The extra batal-
lion, under the command of Major Willock,
and two companies commanded by Captains
Murphy and Angney, were all stationed at
Tans.
"In coming in, these parties met great nuttv
bersof Indians, whose principal object seemed
lo be the stealing of mules and horses. On jhe

ipahoe Indians, and in the fight one Indian, the
ader of the band, was killed, and several
