One word now ns to the Presidency. I When tl)p army Inst summer was at Matamoras, a Mr. , Bleeder,(l think.) from Baltimore, came there to distrihme Eedalsto the non-commissioned officers and soldiers who had 1 Bistingi ished themselves at Palo Alto, &lc. It is repotted that Bliile there, Mr. li. informed ‘ old Zack” that he had been nom- j Bn ted by some persons in New York for tin Presidency. The Bid General’s reply was characteristic. “Mr. Reeder. I don’t Bant it—l have no other or higher ambition than to remain at Bie head of mv noble little army. I have always considered Bjnrlf an honest man—my neighbors so consider me —but were ■ to accept a nomination, there nre persona who would call me I Eery thing that is bad, and others who would say of me, as | Key said of General Harrion, that I never was within two Biles of a field of battle. No ! no !—I don’t want it! I don’t Hunt it!” BThat’s the very kind of a man who deserves to be, and who Bill be made President of this great natiou. ■ Incompetency of Gen. Taylor.—The Editor of the Ham- Republican, somewhat distinguished for his criticisms on j E e military capacity and conduct of the field officers of the: ■dlmello Regiment, speaking of Geo. Taylok says, “as to Wsetchikg out a grand and extensive scale of operations for a body of troops , we doubt his ability .” I The gentleman who made tfm above profound discovery, !

It is not often that they are so plainly Blight as was Gen. Bay ly,the Democratic candidate in Acco- Bdc, during the recent election for members of Congress in Virginia. The Petersburg ItUeMtgeucer gives the follow ing Eutement of the afl’uir: ■ ‘•We learn from a good source that Accomac Court House I ■ns, on the election day, the scene of a greut and singular ex- Beiiiu.l, It seems that the Methodist denomination in thui Kurity are divided as to a choice between attaching themselves E l he Northern or .Southern division of that Church, und that His question hecume ail issue in tlie canvass.

Gentlemen—A fiiend. who,by the way, has hKvuyrbeen a j strong Democrat,communicated mme li fe\v days since, the j followin ganecdote. Although difTereut opinions nreentertuined i as to the political views and policy of Gen. J ncksou, they are hut few who will not accord to him the most profound sngnei y 1 in military strategy, and most indomitable braverv and perse verance, under difficult and dangerous ciieumstam es, and I do not mention this matter with any view towards political movements or their ultimate results, but merely to show tlie opinion that u great general entertained of one, who linn since proved that he, too, is entitled to the same proud distinc tion. The gentleman to whom I have referred, visited the Hermit me, at the lime that th - great question of the annexation of Texas was absorbing public attention. In a conversation with Geo. Jackson, ns to the probable, result of this measure, lie inquired of th-* venerable ox President, if a war should ensue, wh we could find to lend our armies? ‘The reply was, ‘an old planter down the coast by the name of Taylor, is the beet I man I know of, and lie will doit well too.” How truly has this prediction been verified. Is it not probable that dy the advice of Gen. Jnckso'i to Air. Polk, the man who has won Piirh laurels foi himself, and achieved so much for the. honor and glorv of his country , was placed in that position where he has distinguished himself so conspicuously? Very respectfully, Louisiana. Santa Anna’s \r.wv—\u interesting letter, dated Mexi co April Ist. to the editors of La Patna, is translated in Ihe Ni. Orleans Delia. We have only space for ihc following extract: ; Santa Anna leaves to day (April 1) for Jalapa, where he i will unite h s force with that of Gen. La Vega, who is now at the defences cf the. National Bridge. Santa Anna says that lie go \s to conquer or die; Imt this he ha* said so often that , w cannot put much reli t ce on the threat. He takes with him about 20.01)0 man of all arms, the grtaler part of them being taken from fjvrochada) the lowest class ol the people, , who are very good for fighting. They w ill, however, have no other advantage over the army which marched from San Luis, except that they will not be j, compelled to the same dreary much through vast wilderness- , es, nud exposed to continual coldsnd rain. But they are e ! quallv destitute of resources and means, having noprovisions, | ami no money with which to buy anv. We have, therefore, j no reasons for expecting nnv other results than have charact ‘ j erized the former enterprises. It is soul that if the Ameri cans pass the National Bridge, and march towards the capital, the w hole people of Mexico will rise en masse against tlie in- 1 | vaders. But we do not doubt that a force us 10,*1060r 12,000 Americans will not encounter, on the march, a Mexican army * sufficiently la ge order rmineJ to resist their onward progress. !■ Gen. Taylor in Kentucky.—lt appears that the people f of Kentucky, who ought to understand Mr. Clay's views and i feelings in regard to the next Presidency, do not think of divid- * ing the M big party between him and Gen. Taylor. , The citizens of Louisville assembled in an overwhelmingly t large public meeting on the 24th ull., and unanimously adopt- ( ed a series .f resolutions in honor of Gen. Taylor and the J brave soldiers under his command. Among them were the \ following: { Resolved , That wc, the people of Louisville and Jefferson county, where Gen. Zachary Taylor lias passed the greater portion of his life, and where lie has been so well known from e his curliest childhood —admiring his great private worth, his a unostentatious simplicity, and his stern integrity, most heartily ! and c ordially concur and unite in that loud, swelling, many-ton- r ed voice of popular affection, gratitude and enthusiasm which t is hearing him on to the Chief Magistracy of the. Republic. I Resolved , That in the opinion of this meeting, the life and e character of Gen. Taylor furnish a guarantee that as President i he w ill administer the government with an eve single to the c common good, that lie will imt abuse his station by punishing i freedom of opinion, and that in appointments to office he will ( look to the qualifications of honesty and capacity, consigning j to the sleep of death the odious party maxim, “to the victors t belong tiie spoils.” Reso/vtd , Thut w hile we hope that an honorable pence may i speedily conclude the war with Mexico, yet it it shall continue ] until the period of the next Presidential election, Gen. Taylor ( can render even more important seivices to his country at the , Cupitol al Washington than in the Halls of the Moutezumas. j i DCf* The following is a fine piece of Mexican fustian. It is Mexican in beginning, middle, and end: Juan Morales, General of Brigade of the Mexican Republic i —To the Nation and her Allies —lt having arrived to my knowledge that some chiefs and officers of the invading army of i the United States, which has operated against Vera Cruz, say I that Gen. Scott had previously advised me that the families < could leave to avoid the evils attendant on a bombardment; and i consequently, those which have happened are chargeable upon me: i In order that neither now, nor at any future time, any accusa- i tion of injustice may stigmatize tlie defiuw*. Vw Cm*. / <*- clare that it is false thut any such advice was given! —that the only communication I have received from Gen. Scott, ten- i ded to summons me, in general terms, to surrender ; that even the neutrals were prevented from leaving the place; and that if the Mexican families could have left, the enemy would not have occupied the place without first burying its defenders in the mins. Jalapa, April 4, 1847. Juan Morales. Major W. W. Bliss.—This officer, w hose name is now so favorably known ov*r tlie Union, is a native ol New Humpsliire, and lie graduated at West Point in July, 1833, with considera ble di-ttnelion. In 1834, during the Indian troubles,he was or- ■ dered to Fort Mitchell, Alabama, but shortly alter he returned to West Point, where he remained until 18 0, discharging the i duties of assistant professor of mathematics, for which he was eminently qualified. Having been appointed in 1839 assistant adjutant general, he was attached to the staff'of Gen.'Toy lor. then stationed upon tlie Arkansas frontier, lu that capacity he has since acted, rendering the most laborious mid important | services and enjoying the unreserved confidence of the General. His gnllatitrv in all the late battles in Mexico has especially I signalized his name, and entitled him to the gratitude of Ins co iutrv. But, although he has been thus highly distinguished | iu action, Major Bliss is chiefly regarded in the army for his , literary attainments, being me of the best writers oflhe day and a finished German, h'retn h,and Spanish scholar. Thus gifted and in the pri.no of life, he is in ull probability destined for vet 1 brighter honors, lie who was but a poor orphan hoy w hen lie entered the Military Academy, and who is now,if we mistake 1 not, without n single relative in the woild, may become one of lie most honored of our country men.' —Louisville Journal. Chateaubriand- —The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, concludes a late letter hv the transla tion of a note from M. tin Chateaubriand to a !M. Martin, a poet who had written some verses dedicated to him. ‘The letter says: ‘‘lt is ao characteristic of this celebrated writer, who may he said to be the founder of the present school of literature in France, that 1 think it may he of iuterest to you. M. cle Clint enubriund is declining rapidly and will probably soon have cea"ed i • live. The following lines may, therefore, almost be considered as his last words:” ‘•l wish to reply to the questions contained in vour closing stanzas. If I could begin my life anew, I should not write a single line, and would wi-h to die unknown ; hut I shall ever . be a Christian as 1 have always been, and even more than I ever was. All things considered, there is hut one thing in life: religion. It is religion that gives order and liberty to the world, ! and after life a better existence, I too, have hud, amidst the sorrows of mv life, moment* of doubt and of indifference; but in advancing to the end to which 1 soon shall arrive, my steps have become more finii,and I have the more confidence in tlie increase of my moral strength, as mv mind has lost nothing of the vigor of vouth; I have remained what I always have been. In politics. I have believed in liberty ; I wished to see it estab lished bv means of royalty, because it seemed to me, that ema- nn ling from a principle of authority, it would he less nn object of dread and better regulated, li kings would not have it so, it is pot my fault *, and I have often predicted to them their fate, when they hive mistaken their way.

And Still they Come.—Queen Victoria is expected to “in c reaae her family” in August next. As usual. New Expedient for Hot-beds.—As the season continues so j chilly that in some parts of the couutry no vegetable can be rais ed except in hotbeds, it may be well lor those who arc short of glazed ashes for covering them, to try the expedient recommend ed in the following paragraph from the Massachusetts Plough man : B “Doctor Shuttle IT, of Spring Grove, recommends as an econo mical article, n frame covered with coarse cotton cloth. He says die sun will not acorth the plants under cotton as it will under glass. He gets a soft and pleasant heat fully equal to that under glass, and he thinks it better for lettuce and other plants j that are liable to suffer so much from heat, than frames with j panes of glass. The cost is trilling as any gardener may make | a lx>x or frame, and the coarsest cotton cloth is best.” To Cook Parsnips.—Persons who have never eaten parsnips cooked according to the following mode,have no idea what an excellent dish they are: Scrape tlie parsnips, wash and slice then lengthwise, boil in just water enough to cover them till thoroughly done. ‘Then put in a piece of butter, with a little ‘ salt and pepper. Beat up an egg with a spoonful of flour and pour over them ; they are then ready to dish up. Parsnips are likewise very good split once and roasted with pork in tlie drip ping pan. —Albany Cultivator. A Word to Boys.—Truth is one of the rarest of gems. Ma” ny a youth has been lost to society, by suffering it to tarnish and foolishly throwing it away. If this gem still shines in your bosom, suffer nothing to displace it or dim its lustre. Profanity is a mark of low breeding. Show us the man who commands the greatest respect. An oath never trembles on his tongue. Read the catalogues of crime. Inquire the character of those who depart from virtue. Without a single exception, you will find them to be profane. Think of this, and let not a vile word disgrace you. In our opinion the theatre is no place for the young. The ef fect of the stage is demoralizing. What virtuous parent does noj tremble, when he hears that his son steals away from the family circle to entel the theatre ? He fears the result. Honesty, frankness, generosity, virtue—blessed traits! B e these yours, my hoys, and we shall not fear. You will claim the respect and the love of all. You are watched by you r eld ers. Men who are looking for clerks or apprentices, hav e their eyes on you. If you are profane, vulgar, they will not choose I you. If you are upright, steady, and industrious, before long . you will find good places, kind masters, and have the pros pect of a useful life before you.— Portland Tribune. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas, speaking of the efforts making in France to relieve the poor of that country saps — 7 * Hie aid given to individuals is enormous, every city, village and hamlet distributing tickets to the poor, with which they can obtain bread at four cents a pound. The municipality of Paris have fur weeks distributed 500,000 of these tickets every day and as bread is now nearly six cents a pound, its daily charity is upwards of nine thousand dollars, besides larg * sums given in cash, wood, medicines and clothing. Charitable societies and indiv duals swell this noble work, ail the capitalists of the day contributing largely. Ladies have sold their jewelry; one old priest sold the watch he had carried since his boyhood, and sev eral colleges have disposed of their libraries to relieve starvation. “About a month since,” says a letter to the National, “when it. was so very cold, a person went to demand charity of General Drouot, (who died last week.) ‘I have not a sous,’ said the General; but after a pause he added, ‘ah ! yes, my full uniform yet remains.’ A denier was sent for, and he sold his imperial uniform, with the epauletts he wore at Waterloo, to purchase bread for the poor of Nance.” Ocean Steamers.—The new and elegant steamship Wash ington, will make her first trip from New York to Cowes, South ampton and Breu;erhaven,on the Ist of June next. The Wash ington, the first of the American line of mail steamers estab lished under the Act of Congress, will carry the mails, and has elegant accommodations for 140 first class and 44 second class passengers. She has been constructed with due regard to strength and safety v as well as speed and comfort to passengers, and the immense power of her steam engines gives the assu rance of very expeditious trips. [FT Pennsylvania seems to have much more military pride and ardor than an vof her siter States. She is again the first to respond to die late requisition of the Piesident for more vol- * nnfeers. Two fine companies, one commanded hyCapt Thv- I r. of Bedford, and the other hv Caps.

Upon the same principle we presume, that Jack refused to cat his supper. ITT The consumption of American Cotton, during the year 1846, proves lo have been,in Great Britain, 1.261,700 hales, in France and on the Continent, 750,000 bales—together,2,oll,7oo bales. O* Lord John Russell stated in a recent speech in Parlia ment, that during the sixteenth century there occurred in Eng land something verv similar to the present Irish famine. It as related, he sail, by Sir Thomas Moore in Ilia writings, that 300.000 men nt one time roamed about, subsisting by theft, j 0 f whom no less than 70,000 were hung in a single year. (FT* In tlie Wnyne Congressional District, in Indiana. Hot li the Whig and Democratic candidates for Congreas are for Gen. Zachary Taylor for the Piesideiicy. The Washington Union says the President is determined that, if n peace be concluded between the United States und Mexico, it idiallbe a permanent one. He certainly ought to be able to obtain a permanent peace. He has forty millions of dollars for conquering and three millions for buying it and, if he acquire a double title, a title by conquest and a title by purchase, he ought by all means to he aide to hold on to it. Gen. Taylor in Florida.—On the evening after the ter rible battle on the Lake Okechohee, in Florida,oh! Rough and Ready, in his despatches detailing the conflict, concluded his letter thus:—“l am now writing without a candle, with pine Knot * ss a substitute, in a cabbage-tree hammock, in the centre of a large prairie, on u very dirty sheet of paper—the only one in camp.** A Camafokkia Farmer. —A gentleman writing from Cal ifornia to the editor of the St. Louis Reveille, says his stock , cnt*iHs of about 4000 head of oxen, 1700 horses and mules, 3000 sheep, and us mnnv hogs.

RithßT Couktfaus —A young lady, who was formerlly a member of the church of the old school, had left it and joined another. One Nundnv morning, on she was on her way to meeting, the met her old minister, who bowed to Her very coldly, and said : “Good morning, daughter of the devil.” “Good morning, father!” she replied. A Curious Calculation —What i* billionT The reply i* very simple—a million times n million. This is quickly ; written, and quicker still pronounced: but no man is üblo to count it. Von may count 160 or 170 in a minute; but let .is 4 even suppose that you may go ns tarns ”00; then an hour will produce I‘4,000; a day 380,00 ft; and a year of 365 days 105.1**0,- (100. Let us suppose now that Adam, at the first beginning of his distance, hail h*gun to count, had continiied to do so and wnscounting still; he would not even now, according to the usually supposed age of our globe, have counted near enough. For to count a million times n million, he would require 9512 years, 34 days, 5 hours, and 30 minutes. United States Treasury.—Thu monthly statement for Aprd, of the 1 . H.

This privilege, it is umier stood, cannot be enjoyed alter the expiration of the existing char ter ol that company.

Granting that the charter does exist, the aborigines contend that, us independent tribes in alliance with Her Majesty, it cannot bind them, and they there lore demand, as a right, the power of trading with whom they please, in defiance ot the monopoly claimed by the Hudson Bay Company. At last advices the Company had not replied to the manifesto of the delegation.— N. Y. Sun. The whole amount of the annual products of the U. States is about one thousand millions of dollars.
