traitor to his country. Ho did ail that was pos
sible for him to do, under the circumstances in
which he was placed. Nevertheless, his late is
sealed. His government and people will hardly
exhonerate him from the disasters which have
fallen upon him, and will probably visit upon his
head the vengeance which they sought to inflict
upon the invading foe. So fickle are the gales
of popular favor, in that ill-fated country!
City Post Office.— ln addition to the vexa
tions incident to the late frequent failures of the
mails, we have, in common with many other
citizens, been excessively annoyed, of late, bv
the carelessness or lack of accommodation, on
the part of the officials of cur city Post OlTice.
On Saturday evening, the window was closed
abruptly, one hour before the usual time of open
ing and it was through much persuasion and im
portunity that the young clerks in the office were
induced to re-open for the accommodation of the
crowd present. On the following night, we
were present at the raising of the shutter and
received only a half sheet of a Mississippi paper
and a letter—some eight or ten papers from
New-Orleans and other places West, being de
tained in the office till 8 o’clock flonday morn
ing! In short, “ our sufferings is intolerable,”
as an illustrious man once said. A radical re
form of the whole concern is the only remedv
we know of, even in the distant prospect. In
the mean time, we suppose that we shall be
obliged to submit to a continuance of the like
imposition, until it may please the incumbent <
the Post Office to observe more religiously the
solemn oath of office which he has taken, the
obligations of which have probably been forgot
ten by himself.and his subordinates! He will
pardon us, however, for once more reminding
him, that he has a duty ‘o perform to the public
.of Columbus from which he can only be excused
by resigning a station which ho is either incom
petent or indisposed to fulfil, in the spirit of ac
commodation that ought of right to govern the
conduct of such officials of government.
Mayor’s Court. —The City Council have
passed an Ordinance to carry into effect the Act
of the last Legislature, authorizing the organiza
tion of a Mayor’s Court in this city, &c. The
substance of the Ordinance is a.; pillows :
“1 he Mayor is !o hold a Court, it.hcn and where
he pleases, for the trial of all offenders against
the laws and ordinances of the city, and is em
powered to inflict such fines and penalties as he
may deem just and proper. The Clerk is to
keep an Information Docket, enter all cares
I brought before the Mayor, and the result—and
Hue executions fir costs and lines, to be enllect-
Marshal and paid out t<> the Tiv.um!-
IHine Mayor is to preserve-the peace of the
’ JHHjMt i
iXi.
Treasurer to a E-i the Committee
‘•■aHw 11 *k’- discharge of their duties, a al t-,
of the justice and correctness of all
area miff’ and demands, “ according la the rules
of evidence. ”
It will appear from the provisions of this Or
dinance that the Committee on Accounts and
the Police Committee are deemed incompetent
to tbo discharge of the duties of their station, and
that the Council have kindly called in the aid of
the Mayor, Treasurer and Clerk, to help them
out of their difficulties. ‘J’hc Mayor’s Court has
also assigned to it the duty of .landing over to the
Superior Court all transgressors against the State
laws, thus taking the legitimate business of dis
trict magistrates out of the hands of the latter.
But all this was necessary, wc suppose, to serve
as a pretext or excuse for the salary of SSOO
voted to the Mayor.
In the opinion of enlightened Jurists, this
whole matter of a Mayor’s Court, in a city such
as this, which is neither a port of entrv nor of
sufficient population, is not only unconstitutional
hut is a ridiculous appendage to our municipal
government. It cannot legally recover it fine
imposed; it cannot try a case tvhich involves
any, the least, offence against the laws of the
State, such as simple assault and baticrv; and
wherefore, then, the use of such machinery, re
quiring extra duties cn the part of the Min or and
involving extra expense to the city? We con
fess that we can discover no necessity, whatev
er, for the recent action of the Council, except
it may be to carry out in good faith the pledge
said to have been made prior to the last election
’ >f Aldermen, by those concerned in getting up
he celebrated “ Compromise Ticket,” that the
Mayor should be ‘paid, for his services ! Now
ive have no objection to all our city officials be
ng paid for services rendered. Not at all. We
mly object to that species of smuggling going
on which will e.tpend the pub’ic money without
|hc public having a voice in the matter, and un
|er any and every pretext which may he con
jured up, as a salvo to the official conscience of
ffie dignitaries of the corporation 1 All ques
tions of importance should first he submitted to
t>e decision of the citizens, and if they assent,
fie City Council may then, properly, devise the
Ways and means of carrying out the wishes of
constituents. But they have not so done in
case before us, hut have taken the. responsi
bility of acting, apparently reckless whether the
Sovereign people are satisfied or not. And veri
y they shall have their reward. Unless we
lastly mistake the public sentiment, a day of
ieckoning is corning, when the plaudit, “ well
done good and faithful servants,” w ill nut lie the
tßcoinpensc meted out to a majority of the pro.
nt Board—no, “ not by a jug full.”
Amend* Honoraiii.e.—ln stating, last week,
who voted for and against the proposition to give
the Mayor SSOO salary, we mentioned the names
(if Aldermen McKendroe and Smith an having
loted in the n#Rative. We have sineo been in
firmed that Aid. Bardwell was absent from the
4ty nt the time, and that Aid. At inter vrn* pn*
sent and made a speech against the measure,
but was obliged, through indisposition, to leave J
the Council Chamber be lore the vote was taken,
otherwise his name would have been recorded
in opposition. We make this statement, lest it
might be inferred that the latter gentleman fa
vored the appropriation. How Aid. Cardwell
would have voted, had lie been at home, we are
not authorized to say, and will not therefore
guess, least we might do him injustice.
Paying Aldermen.— lt is suggested, for the ’
reason that one Alderman is worth, or ought to j
be, half as much as the Mayor, in the manage- I
meat of the affairs of the city, that the citycoun- j
cil, at their meeting this evening, do vote to each 1
of their own body the sum of $250 per annum,
to take effect from the 4th day of January pasft!
We second this motion, on the Democratic pr.n- 1
ciple of “equal and exact justice to all men,”
and trust that the well known modesty of the ;
Board will not prevent them helping themselves
from the public purse while they “have their j
hand in” / Should some other token of public j
approbation be deemed appropriate, for the sig- i
nal services they have rendered to the city, such
for instance, as a leathern liiedaf, with the sign
and seal of the Clerk of the “Mutton Head So
ciety,” stamped thereon, and granting honorary
membership to the bearer, we have no doubt
that the necessary funds can be raised, by private
subscription, for so laudable a purpose !
Alabama. —The political chaldron in our
neighboring State is beginning to bubble con
siderably, as the warm w eather approaches. In
the Montgomery Congressional District, prima
ry meetings are being held, by the politicians of
both parties, with a view to a nomination of a
candidate for Congress, Governor, &e. We an
ticipate that the contest will be an interesting
one. The present Hon. member from that Dis
trict is, we understand, again a candidate, but we
do not think the Whigs arc so entirely satisfied
with him as to give him the nomination, without
formidable opposition. Bro. Hilliard is now
looked upon as rather amphibious in his politics
—neither one thing nor another, but in a state
of lei wearily between Whiggcry and Democra
cy. On ttie other hand, the Democrats arc at a
loss what to do. They rather lean a little to
wards Mr. Hilliard, as being more available than
one of more decided politics, and many of them
have moreover a sort of religious sympathy lor
the parson <f “ our church,” which, by the bye,
has no little influence at the-ballot box. One
democratic meeting in Dale county, compliment
ed him highly, but thought that he was not quite
fir enough over on their side of the fence, to
justify their support being given to him.
I'iiere is ai.i-ther objection to the gentleman.
He is a lawyer as well as preacher, and many
people have come to the conclusion that the legal
profession have monopolized yno, office of Roprs*
sentative long enough. They desire a change,
it may therefore turn out that a gentleman of the
neighboring county of Russell—a planter by
profession and a man of sterling integrity, deci
ded politics and considerable intelligence—may
In’ nominated in preference to Mr. 11. by the
G liigs ot the District. If so, his chance for
election is good, Ibr wc know of no popular
Democrat w ho can easily overcome the acknowl
edged majority in the against the party,
on a strict party vote. Mr. Belser, it is true,
illicit do it again, as lie has done before, but his
friends are, reserving him, if wc mistake not, for
the Gubernatorial lacc. If, however, ho or
some ether honest democrat Cannot be brought
upon the turf, we should be pleased to have our
neighbor before spoken of (Capt. A.) elevated
to a seat in Congress. There is no doubt lie
would jit! it well, his weight of personal charac
ter being nearly on a par with that of Senator
Lewis from the same State, and far superior to
that of the present member. Besides that, Mr.
11. has had his hare of office and honors. Let
the same go round, unless “Rotation in office”
is a principle repudiated by the Whigs, because
of'the odour of democracy which belongs to it.
As candidates for Governor, several have been
named on both sides. James E. Bclscr, of
Montgomery, George Rees, of Chambers, Gov.
Martin, Judge Goldthwaite and Nat. Terry, all
have their friends among the Democracy. But
as this question will probably be settled by a
Convention of each patty, it is useless to specu
late thus early on the chances of nomination or
election. What we have said is intended for
tiic information of our subscribers in Alabama,
and must not, therefore, be deemed meddlesome
or intrusive, for the Lord knows we do not wish
to interfere with the politics of our sister com
monwealth, having quite enough of that sort of
business on our hands at home, to gratify our
most ardent ambition.
Nomination. — Zachary Taylor is nominated
by a correspondent of the N. O. Jeffersonian, as
the “ People’s Candidate for President in 1848.”
The Jeffersonian publishes the nomination, hut
does nos accede to its propriety. The. W higs
generally seem disposed to put up old Znch as
their candidate, although lie is and “ military chief
tain ”thc election of such being once more, dread
ed than “war, pestilence and famine ! ” “ Tern

Or.D Zacii’s Diplomacy. —The correspond
ence between Santa Anna, and Gen. Taylor, is
rich and characteristic. The following versions
tiro given of the messages which passed between
them :
“ Before Santa Anna retreated from Agna Nueva,
he sent, in a message to Gen. Taylor, in substance as
follows : That lie should light him again, but that lie
should select a field better elucidated to display and
marshal bis troop*. To this Gen. Taylor replied :
Tlmt lie (tiantu Anna) was whipped—that he (Santa
Anna) knew that lie was beaten, and therefore Gen.
T. advised him to send iri proposals tor a surrender,
and tliev should be promptly and favorably considered.
*■* * * * * *
“ Santa Anna did send a message to Gen. Taylor
asking him to surrender, staling that lie (Taylor) was
weak, and that 1.0 (Santa Anna) bad sju.'ioo men. and
should certainly take him Gin. Taylor said that
Santa Anna might come nnd lake him. The courier
replied to Gen. fay lor. tliul he would have an limir to
consider on the generousoiler ol Simla Anna. (Jen.
Taylor told the me sengcr In thank Santa Anna for

the courtesy of Gen. Santa Anna m far as to detain
him an hour, ‘othat he hail liottei come at mire V <

BY LAST NIGHT’S MAIL!
Four days later from Vera Cruz!
Cap!. Davis au:l twenty men in a Skirmish !!
The N. O. Delta, of Sunday last, announces
the arrival, that morning, at that port, of the
Revenue Cutter Ewing, which sailed from Ve
la Cruz, on the 17th. ult. The following items !
of news are gleaned from the correspondence of
that paper :
The intelligence of Gen. Taylor’s victory o
ver Santa Anna, reached the investing army on
Ike 10th. and many were the shouts that were
sent up for the old hero and his brave men.
Owing to the rough weather, but a part of the
heavy artillery had been landed. Gen. Scott
had given the foreign residents notice to quit the
town, and they had generally gone on board the
vessels of war otl'tha port.
Many citizens of Vera Cruz were in favor of
an early capitulation. The military, however,
are opposed to it, and have, it is said shot seve
ral who proposed a surrender.
Col. Harney’s Dragoons arrived on the 10th.
after having been blown off from near Anton
Lizardo.
On the evening of the 12th the South Caroli
na troops had a brush with 200 Mexican Lan
cers and defeated them.
Midshipman Rooeks was still a prisoner. An
18 lb. gun was found immediately opposite the
place of landing, but the enemy lutd nut time to
plant it and use if.
’t he steamships New Orleans and Virginia
left for Tampico on the 16th. The Mississippi,
Cum. Perry had not arrived, at the sailing of
the Ewing. The latter brought despatches from
Gen. Scott. The bombardment had not com
menced.
This is the sum and substance of the latest
news, as brought by the Ewing.- Wo observe,
however, some interesting particulars commu
nicated by the Delta's correspondent “ Mus
tang,” under date of the 11th, which have not
heretofore been given. From this it will b<s
seen, that our gallant townsman, Capt. Davis,
lias had a hand in the skirmishing! We give
t lie lull account iti the language of the Deltas
correspondent—knowing that our citizens gen
erally will be proud to hear that the Georgia
Regiment has had even a small chance to show
their mettle :
“ About 7 o’clock this morning, Gen. Quitman's
brigade was ordered to relieve Gen. Pillow from the
position lie had occupied during the night, in order
that bis troops might got their breakfast and procure
water to !a.-l during the day. The Mexicans saw our
party leaving the height, but did not see the other co
ming up with their cavalry, expecting, no doubt, to
steal upon their rear, but they were very much mis
taken. Capt. Davis, of the Georgia regiment, with
20 riflemen, were sent as skirmishers, to incline round
under the hill, and engage them at dose quarters. As
soon as they observed Capt. Davis, about 200 Mexi
cans advanced oil him. but with his small forfc ie
held them in check until Col. Jackson, with the bal
ance of three companies, and Col. Dickinson with l:is
regim.nl, came to hie assistance, when the enemy
were compelled to retreat under the cover of the guns
ol the town, with the loss of several dead anti some
wounded. Our loss in this affair, is seven slightly
wound*d, viz: *
Lieut. Col. I’ickinsun, Wm. 11. Ballad, Lt-wisCoku.and
J. L. Phillip*,Niiutli (’areliua Regiment.
- It. I'. .McDonald, (sun o.'iiii: Px-itmcniuf,).iutin G. Eii
htink* (of Harris cufilitv.) G. i>colt(of Mississippi,)
Georttiu Regiment.
Capt. Davis, who commanded the skirmi.ming par
ty of riflemen, vyaS very highly complimented for his
gallant conduct, by Col. Dickinson, Gen. Quitman,
and Gen. PaUer'^t.”
Those iteuiss of Autilleuy.—Santa Ana
boasts of having taken three pieces of artillery
front Gen. Taylor. Lieut. Crittenden says that
the taking of the said pieces cost Santa Ana Odd
men, and that they were not given up-entii every
man at them was shot down!

FtMICDMRTANf'Ef nnreied with fl.e late Fires
\J which have ocean- I in this city, lead to the sus
picion that there are incendiaries among'its, who are
malicious! v bent upon the destruction of the city. Sev
eral of our citizens, in connection with the city Au
thorities. have attempted to investigate and ferret out
the means by which they have occurred ; hut up to
the present time no fact or circumstance lias been ; !i
----cited which sheds a ray of light upon’ the subject, or
relieves the public mind from the impression that our
I proportv is at the mercy of prowling incendiaries.and
midnight thieves.
The very redent attempt to burn a Livery stable
; situated in of a block of wooden buildings,
and that so soon after the burning of the Warehouse
on Saturday morning last, goes far to give strength
to these conclusion*, and calls upon all well-disposed
citizens to guard with the strictest vigilance their,
own interests and the —elfare of the city.
Itis hoped that none will hesitate in their vvatdifsU;
ness of suspicions characters, who have no visfiife
means nfaihtnii ing a support; and that ali.onr- ‘citi
zens will feeUt due to themselves to aid and assisf la
rid'l ing the ■ idle and v: ious, and in bring
ing to punishment sicli as may be guilty of a yinjjjp
tion of the laws country. So far trs the city
Authorities are concerned, i am authorized to pledge
them for a faithful and vigilant, discharge of dit
ties; and a co-operation on the part of the eitizflhs'is
most respectfully requested. And tlmt no efiort may
be neglected. I am authorized by a. resolution of the
city Council to offer a reward of i)SE THOUSA JVX>
DOLLARS for the apprehension and conviction of
anv person or persons who may have been concerned
; in the burning or attempting to liurn the city during
1 the present month—which will be paid upon the con
's viction of the offender or oif odors.
