JWcxuan Ncu.s. IraiMirtaiit from iWcxico. A telegraph despatch, transmitted front New , Orleans to the Mobile Advertiser* *on the 18th : inst., says—“ The Etfd'o'ia is betoW, bringing dates from Vera Cruz to the 12th inst. She was hailed by a tow-boat, and reports that the Trea ty has bekn Rejected. We shall await with much interest and anxiety the more certain accounts that will follow in a day or two. There has, it is true, been but little prospect that the Treaty would be ratified, and yet, such is our •desire for a settlement of the difficulties, that we have hoped even against hope* It is fruitless now to speculate on the course to be pursued, or j the consequences that must follow, “The wide, unbounded prospect lies before us, but shadows, clouds and darkness rest upon it.” We are indebted to a ffieud for a verbal state ment of the most important items of intelligence, by the above Vessel. These items are given from memory •cf the facts, as contained in the Picayune extra, fc'fifee 18th, and consequent ly may differ in some degree from the facts in The ship. They ave believed, however, in the main, to be correct: Pena y Pena, with some dozen others, is said to have'been proscribed and driven front Quere t&ro, American soldiers were deserting in great numbers in consequence of the bounty of fered by the Mexicans, SIOO being the liberal price given. Schemes have been laid to entrap the rascals, persons having been induced to make sham desertions, that they might serve as spies against the Mexicans, who had taken such [pains to decimate our numbers, and thin our tranks. Bustimcnte is said to be at the head 0P8,900 men, ho at the present time being Commander tr-Chief. Some movements had been made to recall Santa Anna, by sending a special messen ger tor him. A few rich Mexicans have united together and pledged themselves to raise $3,000,- 000, to be paid in monthly instalments, or often er if necessary, to vigorously carry on the war. It is said that the government can raise 80,000 stand of arms, a large portion having been ga thered together in the last few weeks. From Mexico. Correspondence of the Columbus Enquirer . Cuernavaca, April 6, 1848. On Sunday at about 3 o’clock, A. M„ a sen titiol in this city shot down a teamster, who at tempted to escape from him after he had been j subjected to his guard. He died instantly. At tthe request of the sentinel, thro’ the command ing officer of his company, Capt. Chase, of the 15th Inthntry, Col. Bonham ordered a Court of Inquiry to consist of Lt. Col. Calhoun, Mounted Bat. Ga. Vols. ; Capt. Pery, 15th Infantry; Lt. Taplin, 12th Infantry ; Lt. Almstead, Special Judge Advocate. The opinion of the Court, after a thorough examination of witnesses, sustained the sentinel, and commended him for his efficiency as a sol dier. To guard us against ourselves is a more vex atious job than watching for an enemy. The armistice has opened the door to an indolence exceedingly demoralizing, and it is to be hoped a peace that will send us home, or a war that will order us onward will be proclaimed at an i early day. j A few days ago shrieks and lamentations j •came up from a vally iu the environs of Hintzi lac. An American soldier, afflicted wi‘h the curiosity of the age, resolved to ascertain from whence it came and its cause. On approaching the place, two youths, the eldest not more than sixteen, were discovered heating their mother in a most inhuman manner. The mother was immediately released, and the elder son receiv ■ed a castigation that it is supposed would have afforded comfort and happiness to a Turk. OI ■course the whole matter is involved in (a very thin) mystery. Nobody done it, but it would be very strange if suspicion did not rest upon a de tachment of the Mt’d. Bat. Ga. Vols., as no oth er American troops were at or near Hintzilac. The foregoing episode iu a soldier’s life is not regarded as the slightest evidence of the demor alization of our troops. On the contrary, it shows we have not forgotten the earliest lesson of our life, to love, respect and venerate our mothers. Col. Bonham and other officers left on yester day afternoon for the city of Mexico, to which place they were called by the Court of Inquiry tin the cases of Generals Scott and Pillow. The •command, during the temporary absence of Col. Bonham, devolves on Lt. Col. Seymour of the 12th Infantry. The health of the three companies Jft’d. Bat. Ga. Vols. now at this place is gradually im proving, while the number of si,ck of the Infant” *y is on the increase. The weather and climate too is every way desirable, and we arc pleasantly located, but we are becoming dissatisfied ; and how could it be otherwise. si*o wl<. Um here two months? Entirely too long for volunteer soldiers to re main at one place. They require and desire an •active aud energetic life energies are •crippled and they become dissatisfied with case and indolence. Joseph W. Steger, of company A, an excel lent and worthy soldier died on the 2d inst.— John Bailey, of company B, on the sth inst., <5. B Clayton, of company C, on the Ist inst., T. A. Cotheran, of company F, on the 4th inst. These were soldiers good and true, and their (deaths had been anticipated for days past. Adieu. J t April 6, 4 P. M. •Since writing you to-day we have had one of ttho most beautiful hail-storms 1 have ever seen. Not a hail stone exceeded the size of a common pea, and all about the same size. The light ning was so vivid, but the thunder was moder ate in its tones. The rain exceeded somewhat a heavy Jew, and the sun lighted up with great brilliancy the surrounding hills and mountains. Last afternoon we witnessed a spectacle of surpassing grandeur—indeed terribly sublime. About 4 o’clock P. M. the whole western sky ■teemed to be on fire, and you could plainly per ceive dark and angry veins shooting apd curling, with blood-streaming appearances, in every ffi s-G.ctiop. Man cannot look upon such a scene without feeling his utter helplessness, his entire dependence upon the God of all power, j. s. c. Cuernavaca, April 14,1848. It is with extreme sorrow l announce the of Lt. Reeder, of <*Q|tt|tiiny A, Mt’d. Bat. (Ga- Vols. By a letter thls rhomept received ! (from Col. S. R. Bonner, lam Lt. feeder died within four miles of the bis tej&afos, escorted by Lt. Chandler aQcuQL Master Sergeant John Jones, and others, ha<L reached the .city, ami that the deceased shoulcft be “properly interred.” jfl About five weeljs sinee IJ. Reeder for ;tne .first time complained cf being unwell, an‘d he bad encountered every exposure t to which we have been subjected without suffbofog severely.; it was tnapi&st each day found h'bV > n a weaker state. Indeed, so feeble had he become, his physicl powers were not sufficient to sustain, at all times his mental powers. He had hoped, j but his friends could not, that a change of cli piate and new scenes might enable him to re cover. But the sad tale is told. Ho was taken on an ambulance from this place on the after noon of the 11th, and died on the afternoon of the 13th inst. Lt. Reeder was, as far as he was known, uni versally respected and loved, and always active and intelligent in the discharge of his duties. Here is evidence that the strongest, the most prudent and discreet, must die, as well as the imprudent and weak. I have also received a letter from Capt. Ful ton, from Puebla, in which he announces the death of Lt. John T. Allen, which occurred on the 27th ult. Lt. Allen had the reputation of being an excellent soldier, and was elected a 2d Lieutenant on the Bth of March, at this place, to fill’a vacancy occasioned by the death ot Lt. Hill. I learn also that Capt. Fulton “ has not one man sick.” It affords me unqualified plea sure to state, upon the authority of Dr. Glenn, our excellent surgeon, that the three companies at this place have not been in better health since we landed in Mexico. Dr. Bozeman and Lt. Hately left the city of Mexico a few days ago, on their return to Geor gia, having obtained leave of absence on accoont ofbad health. You will remember we are in a dark corner, where light and intelligence can reach us but seldom, and as a matter of course ignorant in re lation to a speedy adjustment of our Mexican ‘difficulties, but Col. Bonner, in his letter of yesterday says, “ the news this evening from Queretaro is unfavorable to peace.” As ever, yours, J. s. ?• Cuernavaca, April 18, 1848. Lt. Col. Seymour, now in command of this department, has just ordered an escort from the Mt’d. Bat. Ga. Vols., to accompany him to the City of Mexico, to which he goes, it is understood, by order of the General-in-Chief, and it may be by request of the Court of Inquiry, to give testimony in Maj. Gen. Pillow’s case. I seize the opportunity to say, the sick are grad ually improving. Dr. Glenn has not been able to discharge his duties as Surgeon for the last day or two. Dr. Richie, the Medical Director at this post, is kindly attending to Dr. Glenn’s duties, and informed Capt. Benfoe this morning that our sick were doing well, and not a danger ous case among them. Capt. Goulding and his company are at Ajes co, between this and Mexico—all well. The Captain was quite sick, a few days ago, but on yesterday I received a note from him giving us I the agreeable intelligence that all symtoms of disease had disappeared. The intelligence that comes to us, in relation to the ratification of the treaty, is of an unfavora ble character. Rumor has it members are leaving Queretaro, and that the probability of an immediate quorum is not more favorable than it was three months ago. We are begining to rub up our carbines, muskets, pistols and can non, to say nothing of our sabres. Before this reaches you, you will have heard oft he arrival of Clifford end Sevier—and from my knowledge of the latter, I think the matter will be disposed of, for weal or woe, in a very short time. The Colonel is now ready to leave. Adieu. J. s. c. j from fijasljhigton. From the Baltimore Sun. Washington, May 16,1818. SENATE. Mr. Douglass reported, without amendment, House bill forthe admission of Wisconsin into the Union, brft it was subsequently, at his sug gestion, re-committed to the Committee on Ter ritories for some alteration in regard to Mineso ta. Mr. Bagby’s resolutions declaratory of the powers of the General Government on the sub ject of slavery, particularly as connected with admission of new territory, offered some time since, were taken up, and after some discussion, were, on motion of Mr. Badger, laid on the ta ble, 24 to 9. [This is not considered a test vote, as several Senators, who voted in the af firmative, stated explicitly that they so voted to prevent debate, and not on the principles in volved.] A bill to grant a pension of $lO per month to John Mitchell, employed in the service of the United States on board the ship Alabama; who had lost both of his arms in firing a salute at New Orleans for the battle of Cerro Gordo, was taken up, A debate ensued, and the bill was finally passed over informally. The bill to renew certain naval pensions for five years, and extend its provisions, was taken up, amended and passed. Mr. Johnson’s resolution, relating to Gene, rals Pillow and Cushing, were takpn up, but Mr. Johnson being absent, its further considera tion, at the suggestion of Mr. Allen, was post poned to Thursday. The bill from the House to refund moneys advanced by States for transportation and sub sistenee of volunteers, previous to being mus tered into service, was read twice and referred. House bill to amend and continue the char ter of the city of Washington was taken up, and after some discussion, was ordered to be en grossed for a third reading. The consideration of the Yucatan bill was then resumed, and Mr. Bagby addressed the Senate. He did not believe that the Govern ment had the power to assume the character of a “great almoner,” and to decide upon such cases of humanity, as connected with the na tions of the earth. But as to the question ofpol icy involved in this measure, ho believed the time had arrived when the United States were called upon to assume a substantive and deci ded position upon the principle involved in the declarations of Mr. Monroe. He should therefore discuss the question as one of policy solely, and if the objects of hu manity were subserved thereby, it would be be cause they were incidental thereto, and not be cause they form the basis of the measure itself. He should take the information eonmfxncx ted by the President for what it was and no more. He had recommended m; Imprecise course of action—-he had jpbnpiy given certain information, leaving it to wongress to adopt such measures as in their Wtfpom they might deem proper and necessarttifr He re extent, the views giv en yesterday bwmr.

It was jmfter full deliberation by the British Govern ment was made by Mr. Rush. When Mr. Bagby hgd concluded, the question was taken on the amendment of Mr. Jefferson Davis, as modified, so as to include the pream ble of Mr. Lewis, and it was negatived by yeas quid nays, 5 to 26. ‘fiiff bill was then, at the suggestion of Jfr. | Clayton, passed oyer until to-morrow, in conse quence of the number of Senators absent, and with tjhe general understanding jtljJft the final vote shall then be taken. Executive session- Adjoumed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Rockwell, from the committee on Claims, i reported a bill to increase the number of Clerks in the Treasury Department. Read twice aud committed. The bill from the Senate, extending the privi leges of American vessels engaged in trade from one part of the United States to another, was taken up and passed.

Senate bill to require the holders of military land warrants to compensate the land officers for locating the same was passed. The bill making appropriations for revolu tionary and other pensioners was again under consideration iu Committee of the Whole, re ported to the House with amendments, the amendments concurred in, and the bill passed. Senate bill explanatory of the act to raise for a limited time an additional military force, and for other purposes, was read the third time and passed, with an amendment, and returned to the Senate. The House receded from its amendments to the Senate bill amendatory of the act relating to the franking privilege, and to reduce the rates of postage ; and the bill accordingly stands passed. The bill to amend an act granting to Alaba ma the right to use certain funds to construct a railroad from Brandon, Miss., to the line of that State nearest Montgomery, so as to allow these funds to be used for the purpose of completing the chain of said railroad from Jackson to Bran don, was read the third time and passed. The bill making appropriations for navy pen sions was under consideration in Committee of the Whole, but the Committee rose without coming to any conclusion, and the House ad journed. Washington, May 17, P. M. SENATE. After the transaction of some unimportant business, the Senate proceeded to the conside i ration of the Yucatan Bill. Mr. Dix addressed the Senate, and discussed the question at much length. Mr. Hannegan said he had received satis factory information that a treaty had been con cluded between the white and Indian population ofYucatan, and therefore moved to postpone the consideration of the bill until further information should be received. A debate sprang up on the matter, in which the participants were Messrs. Underwood, Niles and Hannegan. The two latter gentle men had a “passage at-arms mutual explana tions were, however, made, and harmony ie stored. After some remarks by Mr. Foote, the Sen ate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House was engaged most of the morn ing on unimportant business. The House, on motion, at an early hour, went into Committee of the Whole and took up the Appropriations Bills. Speeches were made by Messrs. Woodward, Bayly and Murphy-—in which the subject of slavery was debated. On motion of Mr. Cooke, the committee rose. On Motion, the House agreed to adjourn over from Monday to the ensuing Thursday ; and then On motion, the House adjourned. From the Charleston Courier—Extra ofYesterday. Washington, May 18. SENATE. The Vice President laid before the Senate a letter from the Secretary of the Navy, commu nicating the papers in the case of Mrs. Cousin, called for by a resolution offered by Mr. John son of Md. Also, a communication from the Treasury Department, in reply to a resolution of the Sen ate, covering a statement of the amount of Su gar imported into the United States in the years 1844, 5,6, 7. The report of the Committee of Conference on the bill, providing for additional Examiners in the Patent Office, was agreed to. So the bill has finally passed both Houses. The consideration of Mr. Johnson’s resolu- ! tion, calling on the President fur informa’ion in regard to the commissions of Gens. Pillow and Cushing, was resumed, and .Mr. Allen replied, at great length, to the several points in Mr. Johnson’s speech, on executive and legisla tive usurpation, the veto power, executive pat- I ronage, and United States Bank, the French ‘ Spoliation and River and Harbor Bills, &e. &c. I At nearly 4 o’clock the Senate went into Executive session, and shortly afterwards ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

SMITIpS “Improved Indian Veg- MJr etable Sugar Coated Pills,” are the medicine of the United States, and their superiority over all others for entire efficacy and pleasantness has won for them a pre-eminence of fame which needs no foreign influence to perpetuate. Almost unheralded they have silently worked their way, and have gained a permanent hold on the approbation ol'the people which no other medi cine or opposition can relax. For about four years they j have triumphed over disease, and brought joy and gladness to many an anxious bosom. Their purity iis a medicd and compound, commends them to the most delicate, and even the mere hardy, who have suffered from the effects of impure properties in the stomach, will at once be pleased with the delightful operation of these Pills. They have the rare merit of the most care fully selected ingredients, are always safe, and can be no danger of taking them improperly at anytime. A single trial will manifest their excellence in relieving the body in many precursors of alarming disease, keeping the bowels gently open, thereby ensuring the continu ance of health. The most eminent chemist in New York has given his certificate that these Pills are purely vegetable, or NATURE’S OWN REMEDY. The great principle recognized by the inventor of this inval uable medicate is, that every part of the body, wheth er in health or disease, is brought under the influence of the digestive organs. This plain and rational doctrine 1 forms the only ground an which a good family medicine can be recommended. Operating according to the prin ciple, Dr. Smith’s Pills strengthen the stomach, pro mote the secretions of the liyer, skin aud kidneys, agd regulate the bowels, Thereby adopting the only natur al and consistent method of rendering the Life Blood Pure, by correcting the vitiated humors of the \yh.Qlo system.’ It is impossible to give every particular in this brief liofice, Inti thu Piljs are earnestly recommended as a means qf preventing so much misery and disease, which grow out of constipation of the bowels, neglect ed colds, slight attacks, &c., and which it is in the power of ALL TO PREVENT. THEY CURE Moat all the diseases of the Western Country, and in ALL UILIOUS DISORDERS, They stand alone, unparalleled—the sick man’s friend. Among the complaints for which these Pills are highly recommeuded, are the following, viz: Fevers, Dyspepsia., Indigestion, Costiveness, Head ache, Bad appetite, Diarrhoea, Dsscntary, Liver com plaint, Warms, Heartburn, Bilious colic, Foul, stom ach, Jaundice , Pain in the side, Scrofula, Bad blood, Obstructions, Female complaints, Rheumatism,Whoop ing coughs, Weak nerves. Hysterics, Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Pimples, Chills and Fevers, See. By following the simple directions which accompa ny every box of genuine Pills, a permanent cure will be affected. Most of the Hospitals in New York have given these Pills the preferance over more than 20 kinas that have been tested, t in New York and elsewhere, use them in their practice. More than a thousand certficutes have been received at the principal office, and the people arc referred to “ Smith’s Herald &. Gazette,” where they can read of the most important cures. Beware of Imposition! Tho demand for Dr. Smith's Pills being every where great, several unprincipled persons have niado Pills of the most miserable and dangerous stuff, and to palm them off for the genuine, have put on a “coating of su gar.” Therefore, beware, and always look for the Written Signature of G. BENJ. SMITH, On the bottom of every box, to counterfeit which, is for gery. O’ If these Pills do not give entire satisfaction, the money will be refunded.

LeROY, a Licentiate of the Royal College of jmJr Physicians, in London, haying used in his private practice for a number of years, WILD CHERRY and SARSAPARILLA, at length made an extract of them, which, with other vegetables, lie lias combined in one of the best Pills ever made known to the European community, and which met the attention of the Ameer ican people. They are tlie most efficacious purgative ami tonic yet discovered. The IP i Id •CherrytH an excellent tonic, posses sing astringent and aromatic properties, which make it valuable in Dyspepsia , Jaundice, Weakness of the Sto mach and Chest. The Sarsaparilla is demulcent, dieuretic and soothing, and is given in Rheumetism, Scrofula, Disea ses of the Skin, and to eradicate the bad effects of Mer cury. In the operations of all other purgative medi cines debilitation and purification go hand in hand ; they remove the good as well as the bad, thus weakening tho system which they were only required to cleanse, and making the cure, generally, almost as had, and frequent ly much worse, than the disease. Dr. Leßoy’s Pills, on the contrary, strengthen and tone the system which they purge and purify. And this is their peculiar at tribute, and the principal cause of their unrivalled pop ularity'. P S.—The virtues of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are too well known to medical men and the com munity’ to require further detail. Price 25 cents per box. For sale by Dr. E. F. KNOTT, Griffin Ga.

There is not, soutli of tho Potomac, a single Jourr nul whose sole object is to develope and foster lit erary taste and talent in the South ; and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest attempt tq establish such a journal. The failure of previous effort* cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argu ment against such a:i attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the result of circumstances no longer existing. The need of such an organ in oar midst, is so universally acknowledged,that not to attempt to supply the deficiency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than in excusable. The progress of the ago, and the rapid advance of the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Im provements, imperatively demand a corresponding ad vance in literature. To aid in this great object, lie has established a Weekly Journal at the seat of the Univer sity of Georgia and rallied ground it the best writers of the South. The Editor is assured of the support of his able coad jutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance from the most prominent writers of the South. The Gazette is made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays, Sketches of -IbuivaX. PteteyvChit*.;, M isidlmhv of information in all departments of Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is paid to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no contem porary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be wanting to.enhance its attractions. Portraits of Southern writers and pictures of Southern Life and Scenery will be pre sented. The Editor confidently appeals to (lie friends of Lit* erature in flip South ; and he is happy to announce that his enterprise is of no doubtful issue. By private effort a large and generous list has been obtained, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor was unwillingto publish his Journal, but it is novygiyeil to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall bo permanent. TERMS. — I.

NOT ONLY A POSITIVE hut a warranted euro for Consumption and all other diseases of tho Lungs! The success which has attended Hastings’ Naphtha Syrup, in Decline, Consumption, Spitting of Blood, Asthma, <jf-c., since its introduction into the United States fully equals what it met with in Europe. Its use has been adopted in nearly all our larger hospitals ; and the most eminent of our physicians hu-ve written highly favorable notices of it, and patronise it extensively in their private practice. Indeed, they have almost aban- doned all other remedies for the usual diseases of the lungs ; and a single case has not yet been reported in which it lias failed to and relief. If the reader is at all inclined to Consumption, or affected with *my’ which are likely to produce it, let him lose no time in-procuring a bottle of HAS TINGS’ NAPHTHA SYRUP, and one or two do6es will satisfy him of its surprising virtues, and that a con tinanceof its use will restore him to health ; for it not only cures in a lines periqd, but gives relief, and a war rant of its excellence aud mastery over the disease in a few minutes after it is received into the system. Hence Sir James Clarke, the Court Physician, remarks of it, that “in consequence of the brisk and uowiistukcatT energy of its operations, no medicine has so much/ confidence of patients as Hasliugss’ Compound Sy)w of Naphtha.” Price &1 pei bottle.
