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 pora muUmlur ,” &c. 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.

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.

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! roll THIS MUSCOGEE DE.VIOOItAT.
