from the apprehension entertained by you nnd your
Presbyterian counsellor that, without agents of that
description, the Mexicans, jealous of their religion, nnd
suspecting the present war to be made against it, would
overwhelm our little army by their zeal, ferocity, nnd
unanimity.”
The Washington “ Union,” in reply to an article of
tlie National Intelliqrncrr, denies that the Administra
t on considers, or ever has considered, California and
New Mexico as annexed to the United States. Now,
i it the President did not, in December last, regard those
territories as part of the Uuitcd States, we beg sonic of
Ids organs to explain to ns exactly what he meant when
lie congratulated the country in his annual message upon
‘ THE RECENT RAPID EXTENSION OP OPR TERRITORIAL
limits.” If he did not mean California nnd New Mex
ico, we pray some of his friends to tell us what on enrth
he did menn. The truth is, the functionaries at Wash
ington did consider those territories as already a
portion of their political heritage, hut they were scared
away from the spoils by the indignant voice of the na
tion. like a vulture from nn untusted carcass—Boston
Atlas.
Conquering it Peace.
Py “ conquering a peace” the administration means
conquering n war, for peaee was effectually conquered
when Mr Polk commenced, U|m his own responsibili
ty, the present contest. But Ins mode of illustrating his
meaning is ns singular ns the phrase hv which he ex
pressed ii Peace was to he conquered in a lew months:
nearly a year and a half have transpired, un i the result
dies before us like a horizon, nu-1 seems more remote

qu red to advance ; and then reproached him because,
having efleeted nitrides at which the world gazed with
admiration, he did not efleet more. Tit conquer a peac”
Mr Polk withdrew Taylor's most efficient forces, and
exposed him. apparently a certain sacrifice, to Santa
Anna with the liest appointed army Mexico has brought
into the field, four times our number. To conquer peace-
Mr Polk dismissed Gen.Scottfiomhisliightriist.be
eattse he dared to use a soldier's frankness in giving the
view - which all subsequent experience lias proved to
have been wise and patriotic. To conquer pence, he
a.t owards sent the Hero of Chippawa to Vera Cruz
w:t!t promise! ot ample support—promises that were
bud. it ulmot so soon ns made, nnd the violation of
w hich h..s I ,t him niidwey in a career of triumph, ap-
parently powerless, and c.-rt-inly in imminent peril—
This is the military manner m wiiioh Mr. Polk conquers

her ! c.me, bought off th ■ hordes upon her NoithetU
frontier. Three millions of dollais march, under ap
prt-print ■le id.-ts, to tins scheme ot conquest. But w ..;ti
sotttd pt-ace is tltat w.-hich is lobe (hue gallantly cou
qt.ued t We have been t.-IJ, by tite a.luunistratt. n,

leant that Mr Tr.st is authorized to remit that obliga

nssu.cd dial .'dex.ro must, as preliminary to peace, in
deumify us for the expenses of the war ; hut we now
hear that tin- conqueror agrees to assume that a Iso We
were tolii that the wrongs of our citizens were to Im* re
dressed ; hut attain the terrible conqueror assumes, in
addition, that burthen. There are millions on millions,
which cannot amount to much less than two hundred,
for which our |>oople are made answerable by this loud- !
mouthed conqueror of peace. Hut is tins all ? No, Mr I
Polk oilers, ii is said, to pay three millions upon the
nail, (probably to bribe the government de facto.) and to
bind the* nation to pay Mexico ninny millions more, if
she will permit us to conquer upon these terms, a peace !
What a hero is our President! Yet even upon these
terms, the proffer is rejected with disdain, the discomfit
ed and routed enemy is again in the field, *25,000 strong*
against our little army, and peace is now more remote
than ever.
Hut it is sail!— true, we g*t no justice from Mexico,
her debt remains unpaid, our war expenses unliquidated
our injuries unredressed—hut we receive a vast addition
of territory. Is this, then, the secret ? At lust it is 1
avowed that all other pretexts for this one man’s war
were mere pretexts; its sole, whole, only object, wa 9
conquest,acquisition, and the extension of the institu
tion of slavery. Iniquitous and revolting as is the as
pect thus given to the councils of the executive, their
base ness does not relieve th ir imbecility. They are ‘
even more weak than wicked They have secured no
thing, save the execrations and contempt ol the country
which they involved in this wrong, aad the reproach of
posterity.
We ask the moderate of all parties to say whether
our history, or any history, ever presented such a spec
tacle of bold promise and imbecile execution, of tolly
in during, and feebleness m doing ! With all the re
sourc sos a great and willing nation, and th<* courage
of leaders and soldiers like outs, at his command—such
is die manner in which James h Polk “conquers
peace.”— Sorth Amertcun.

Agents t(* procure suhreriptions nnd we will commence 1

get a million more in Tennessee from private subscrib

should be suc,*easful wc think wc will have given you
sufficient evidence of our earnestness nn I faith, and wv
hop** then to he able to call on South Carolina, vuhere
the next greatest interest lies, with certainty of aid in
the way of subscriptions from her and Georgia to the
amount of three million of dollars. I hope and feel that
we will not he disappointed , ifso.or I thought so. I for
one would lay down my books nnd quit the work,
for we cannot get more than the million and a half, nnd
I would not b** w illing to strike a lick upon the Rond
wnh lew stock taken than two and a half millions—
f b ase give your opinion upon this subject, for we are
working in the dork.
Louisville has obtained a Railroad charter, aa I am
told, to the Tennessee line; and wish so won as we
start, to get Tennessee to give them a charter to Nash
ville, so as to reach your markets with their immense
products Cincinnati is also nnxion- to build the Road
(o Louisville. Evansville, Indiana, is pressing forward
to get a charter to cross Western Kentucky to Nash
ville with a Railroad also to get your to market. In fact,
the w hole \\ est iH looking to connections at Nashville
to get the advantages of the Southern market and sea- ‘
ports. Ihe President of the Cairo Company, now re
newed and in wealthy hands, addressed me a long h i
rer a f*w days since, regarding the Central Railroad
from Cairo to Springfield, Illinois, there to connect with
tho Ciocinnati and St. Louis Railroad, and thence
acros. the same to Galena, the heart ofAhc great mining
country ; thus the Nnshvillr and Chntanooga Railroad
he thinks will he of great advantage to the Central Rail
road of and to the city of Cairo. The goods
brought from New ‘i oik for the grent Volley he thinks
will oil come this w-y for all points below Louisville,
j Kentucky, and he distributed for the lower Valley at
I Cniro ’ nnil “'' m from Illinois Ly the Central Railroad
from Cairo
Our Cool fields, reaching from below Chatanooga to
a point eighty-five miles from Nashville, will he a
source of great profit to the Road and t.i your Georgia
and South Carolina Roads; for at the rate charged for
carriage hy the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Coal can
be taken to ( hnrleston much cheaper than yon are now
paying for the same quality of Coal, and to Nashvil'e
for little over one-third of what we are now paying for
. it. I understand that there are -radiants of eighty t i... ♦

M f! dfi nan. editor of the New York Literary On
zette J •• and some years ago a personal acquaintance with
(..•tl Taylor, and in noticing one of the “ Lift*,” tells
iho following characteristic anecdote of the old hero:
While indulging in these gossiping references, which
we know will interest some of ottr readers, we may
hr.o relate an anecdote of Gen Taylor, which we oner
h. r!. amid the early scenes of the Blaek Hawk w-ar on
Reex r.ver, and which, though never verified to our
knowledge, still sremsmost characteristic of the R rough I
nnd R ’ndy of later years. Some time after Stillman's
defeat by Black Hqwk’s hand, Taylor, marching with a
large hodv of volunteers and a handful of regulars in
pursuit of th r * hos til'* Tnfflnn force, f'Hind hPun. Ts np* *
proachinij Rock river, t!i *n nw**rred hy many to lie the 1
true north-westr*m boa i larv of th** State of Illinois
Tlie volunteers, a? T vlor was infiimed. woul! refuse
j to croflß stream. They were militia, they mid ctll
eil out for the defence of the State, nnd : t w**s unconsti
tutional to order them to march heyon 1 it* frontier into 1
the Indian country. Taylor thereupon halted his com
mand, nnd encamped within th * acknowledged boun
daries of Illinois. He woul 1 not. as ffip relator .1
the story said, budge an inch further without orders.—
He had already driven Black Hawk out of the State,
but the question of crossing Rock river seemed hugely
to trouble his ideas of integrity to the constitution nn
the one side, and military expediency on the other—l
During the night, however, orders came eitiie** from
Gen. Scott or Gen. Atkinson,for him to follow up Black
Ilawk to th** last. The quietness of the Regular colo
nel meanwhile had rather encouraged the mutinous mi
litia to bring their proceedings to a bend. A sort of
town-meeting was called upon t(ie prairie, and Taylor
invited to attend. After listening for some time very
quietly to the proceedings, it became Rough and Ready’s
turn to address the chair. “He had heard,” he said.
“ with much pleasure the views which several speakers
had expressed of the independence ami dignity of each
private American citizen. He felt that all gentlemen
there present were his equals—in reality, he waspersua- *
ded that many of them would in a few years be his su- ‘
periors, and perhaps, in the capacity of members of
Congress, arbiters of the fortune and reputation of hum
ble servants of the Republic lik*‘ himself. He expected |
then to obey them as the interpreters of the will of the
people ; and the bent proof he could give that he would
obey them, was now to observe the orders of thnec :

Tmrgo Fire in UnysvillCj Kcutncky.
A most destructive fire, occurred at Maysviile, (Ky.)
° n Wednesday last. The Cincinnati Commercial
says: “The finmes commenced in the three larg
warehouses owned by Gen. Colima, which were entirely
consumed ; and such was the heat and the rapidity of
the fire, in its destroying course, that three other build
ings (frames) were also destroyed. The latter were
owned by Mr. Newton Cooper, and occupied by several
families. A quantity of hemp nnd bagging, belonging
to the Maysviile Manufacturing Company, and amoun
ting, in value, to about $*2*2,000, was destroyed. The
entire loss hy this fire is estimated nt between thirty
md thirty five thousand dollars, of which about ten

The health of the human system depends almost en

which pervades every tissue, every membrane, fibre, lig
-1 ament, gland, or other organ, primary or subsiciary = if I
the blood be charged with the element of disease, sick
ness must be the consequence—and until the causes of
diseases existing in the blood arc eradicated, no perma
nent relief can \>e cx|>ected It is here that the power- !
tul health-restoring properties of Bands’ Sarsaparilla are
manifested : its searching operation reaches the the cau
o-s cl disease, and the cures it performs are therefore rad
H-al and thorough. Its potential virtues are attended by

The Grand Jurors sworn, chosen, and selected, for
the County <>f Crawford at this term of the Court, con
gratulate there fellow citizens with the cheering prospects
oi an abundant provision crop, and tecl gratetui to the
supreme Ruler of the universe for the many blessings
With which we are surrounded.
It is gratifying to us as citizens of the county of Craw*
to! j, to see so few case* of crime or gross immorality
practised by our people.
W e concur in opinion with his Honor Judge Floyd,
in reference to the sitting of the Supreme Court, and
tyre take occasion to recommend to our Senator and
Keprr.M-ntative in the ensuing Legislature, that they
win iirg- upon that honorable body the great necessity,
as we conceive it, that the Supreme Court should be held
at some e.riti ;i | point in the State, which would off rd
the gieatest lacilities to the court, attorney:! and parties
w.:o may have business m said court.
In consequence ol some complaint having been made
10 this body ,w would recommend to all the Millers in
I Tins county thru they be particular in not trading or cx
i. ■•. mg with negroes flour tor corn, or corn lor wheat,
ttitotii the permission oi the owner of said slave.

aeapan-h ot business, the order ami decorum which he
enforces during the session of the Court, mid also his
sirtet impartiality and Ins pi mound legal erudition ren
