thr the Federal Union republished the attack. I thought
it r range, I confess, that ArorsTA should hupp n to be
for arraying the conduct of the directors of a
corporation located at Savannah, yet I was con
to say nothing. It occurred to me that all persons
int ted in the management of the Central Railroad
could not fail to see how utterly ridiculous it
to represent the expenditure of less than one cent ;
SHARE of the capital stock to st'iul a delegate to

Dear S r •—Your b iter of the 15th ult., from Clin
ton, TiOnisinna, has just reached in which you nrc
pb*red to s:ty,‘the signs of the times in relation to the
next Presidency nnd the prominent position of yous
nnnit in connection with it. is a sufficient excuse for this
letter.’ Tint >t is a happy feature in our Government
that official functionaries under it, from the lowest to the
, highest station, is not beyond the reach nnd partial su
-1 pervision of the humblest citizen, nnd that it is n right
in every freeman to possess himself of the political prin
ciples nnd opinions of tho-** into whose hands the nd-
I ministration of the Government mny be placed.
jto all of which f fully coincide w ith you in opinion
Asking my v ews on soveml suhieejs. A to the
justice nnd necessity of this war with Mexico, ot) our
part. Second. As to the necessity of n national hank,
and ihe pow'T of Congress for creating such nn institu
tion. Third. As to the effects of n high protective
tariff, nnd th- right of Congress, under the Constitution,
i to create such n system of revenue.’
As regards the interrogatory, toy duties and the
portion that I occupy. I do not consider it would he
proper for me to give any op'nion in regard to the same;
as n citizen, end particularly as a soldier, it i* sufficient
, for me to k n ow th ’t our coutitry is nt war with a foreign
nation, to do all in my power to bring it to a speedy
I nnd honorable termination, bv the most vigorous nnd
1 energetic operations, without inquiring about the justice,
or any thing else connected with it: believing ns 1 do,
it is our wisest policy to he ni pence with all the world,
ns long as it pan be done without endangering the honor
and interests of the country. As regards the second
and third inquiries, 1 nm not prepared to answer them ;
I eonld only do so after investigating thoe subjects
wVrh T cannot now do, my whole time being fully occu
pied in attending to iny proper official duties, which
mu t not I ** neglected under nny circumstances : nnd I
mut say to vnu in substance what I have said to others
in reger I to similar matter*, th *t T am no politician
N *ar f y years of my life have rv'sse fin the pub
lic sp-vm >. in the army, most of wYch in the field, the
earnn. in our v. g*rn frmtier, or in the Indian country;
and for nanny rV two |nt in ties or Texas, during
which tune 1 h:.ve not passed one right under the roof

As regards he *•,! a candidate for the PwHtld<arv at
the coming electmn, * have r*o rspirff r **• m tt*e way
and regret the suh e-* has been ag ‘ *Tedat this early
day,and that it had not been until the r ose of
i the w*ar. or until the end of the next session of Congress,
especially, if 1 am to be mixed up with it, ns it is possi
ble it may lead to the injury of the public service in this
quarter, by my operations being fmbarrnssed, as well as
to produce much excitement in the country growing out
of the merits. &c., of the different aspirants for that
high office, which might have been very much allayed,
if not prevented, had the subject been deferred as sug
gested ; besides very many changes may take place l*e
twvcn now and IS4B, so much so, as to make it desirable
! forth'* int *vst of the country. th**t some other individ
ual than myself.better qualified forth- situation, should
be selected ; anl could h * be ejected. I would not only
acquiesce in such nn arrangement, but would r c oice
that the republic had one citizen, an ! no doubt there ere
thousands, more deserving than I am. and better qualifi
ed to discharge the duties of said office
If I have hern named by others and considered a
candidate for the Presidency, it has been by no agency
of mine in the matter—and if the good people think my
; services important to that station, and elect me. I will
feel bound to serve them, nn.l all the pledges and expla
nations I ennentpr into and make, as regards this or
that policy, is. that I will do so honestly and faithfully
to the best of my abilities, strictly in compliance with
the constitution Should I ever occupy the White
House.it most l*e by the spontaneous move of the peo
ple. nnd by no net of mine, so that I could go into the
office untrammelled, and he the chief magistrate of th e
nation and not of n party.
But should they, the people, change their views and
opinions between this and the time of holding the elec
tion, an 1 cast their votes for the Presidency for some
one else, I will not complain.
With considerations of respect,

National Enforcement of Contracts.
i The views express'd by u upon the position assuin-
I ed by L>rl Palmerston in relation to the right of a na
tion to make war, in the charcter of a bnliff collecting
the debts o its subjects, accord with those of the entire
press. Perhaps too great stress has hern laid upon the
subject. Os course, Great Britain can dream of no such
recourse in relation to this country, though invoked to
it by the late Sidney Smith in terms more forcible than
; complimentary to Pennsylvania. The States of the
Union are struggling onward from their embarrassment
to a full performance ot their financial obligations; and
a few yvuis will see our escutcheon wholly tree from re
proach.
But the position of lord Palmerston, his station con
sidered, is an extraordinary one.
“ StiH, putting out of the question the expediency of
undertaking any such engagement, he dm think that
the English government as u matter of right would
Is* justified in demanding of any foreign government to
make good its engagements, and tailing that, would Is:
• Milled to use the means that had been suggested by his
noble friend to obtain redress.”
If the non-fulfilment of contracts with its creditors Is*
so heinous a fault in a government, the financial history
of Great Britain proves her to be the last that should
Huim* the duly of'rebuking it. The arroganc *of Lug- j
land m bet t‘ eign relations, is rendered by the peculiar 1
temper of L rd Palmerston more than ordinarily oflen- 1
Hiv* VV.‘have no more reason to expect moderation
j fr“tn him, than his hearers have to anticipate grace or i

It is the policy of the ag** to endeavor to contract the
causes of national quarrel ; but Lord Palmerston seems
to desire their extrusion. Mis ammnptimi renders it i
; possible for any powerful nation, w ith ample resources, j
Ito create and reserve for a desired occasion a cause of

Mr. TGs? nnd Gen* Scott.
The country has heanl much of the existence* of a dif
ference between these two gentlemen, but have very
little knowledge (fits nature. We have looked in vain
for an explanation of it to the various quarters whence
we might expect to be enlightened. Liters were re
ceived here by the Fashion, we are told, which mention
that upon the arrival of Mr. Tristnt the headquarters
of the army be manifested very little respect for the
commanding general. It is said thnt he neglected en
tirely to call upon G n Scott to pay his respects. Gen.
Scott did not of course call upon him,and no direct per
sonal in tore nirse would have taken place between them
hut liu the fact thnt Mr Trist became severely ill. Gen.
Scott then overlooked the marked slight towards hint
self, waited on Mr Trist nnd was assiduous in tender
ing such personal offices ns the somewhat alarming sit
uation of the minister demanded.
This diffenence about a mere matter of etiquette,
though trifling and sufficiently contemptible in itself, wns
of bail augury for ihe harmonious co-operation of the
General and the commissioner in bringing about a peace,
It was quite natural that Scott should look with n sus
picious mid jealous eye upon nn agent of the Govern
ment who, thourh previously hut a clerk in the State
Department, wns the hearer of plenary powers to con
clude n peace with Mexico. The power to conclude n
pence would seem to include the lesser power of making
an armistice or truce, nnd to the extent of this power
the niovemcments of Gen. Scott might lie controlled.
It was rather a haughty step, it would seem, for the
Government emissary to commence bis operations by
an assumption or affectation of superiority, and to ex
pect the old general to play the courtier to him—lor it
was not expected, we presume, by the Government
that they should net quite independently of each other
In the letters we have published from Mr Kendall there
seems to be studious rare not to touch on the difficulties
between the General and Mr. Trist. We arc willing
to follow the example ns until such time ns the
whole affair tnnv he laid before the e untry, but in the
1 mean time have telt at liberty to mention the want of
1 courtesy evinced by Mr Trist in the outset We have
heard it allude I to before, but it is only since the Fash
ion has nrrivod that we have learned definitely the na
ture of the slight.— N. O. Fir
Editorial Convention.
The following account of the proceedings of the pre
liminary meeting ot klditors at the Stone Mountain, we
extract from the Augusta Constitutionalist, the Editor
of which paper was requested to embody them in an
editorial:
Tiie suggestion that a Convention of the Editors in
Georgia interested in the Magnetic Telegraph, should
take place ai the Stone Mountain on the 11th inst., had
the effect of bringing together several of the editors of
the Savannah, Macon and Augusta papers. Mr Ches
ter, Agrnit of the Washington City and New Orleans
Telegraph line, was also present. This was intended
to be a meeting merely for consultation, and prelimina
ry to a more general meeting at some future day, of
editors and proprietors of papers along the entire lines of
Telegraphic communication from Boston to New Or
leans.
The Convention therefore confined itself to the dis
cuss on ! *V? follow,rig q m-tions
Ist. Was such a general Convention desirable and
feasible l
2nd. Wiint were the objects to be attained by it ?
3,d. In w hat ai inner could they be attained ? •
4th. When and where should this Convention assem
ble ?
Views were freely interchanged on all these points,
and there was no diversity of opinion on the general
questions Details were lett for future consideration.—
But the advantages to result from a general Convention
were too manifest to provoke much discussion. It was
at once agreed that our cotemporaries of th** press be in
vited to conm together to moke a combined and harmo
nious arrangement, by which would be secured to each
press engaged in the arrangement, at the stint? time,
the same information, commercial and political, along
tiie whole line orl nesof Telegraph. This can be ac
complished at an expense to each, under an arrange
ment made in unison, so moderate as to place it within
the reach of papers in the smallest cities. It will thus be
a desideratum to them. It will also, by the same means,
immensely reduce the heavy expenditure to which the
presses in our large cities are subjected by their present
plan of obtaining seperately their telegraphic news
To accomplish this, a number of presses must combine.
This will lessen the amount to each while the aggregate
will afford a compensation sufficient to remunerate the
telegraphic companies, ami make the arrangement an
inducement to them.
The arrangement contemplates the furnishing tothe
associated presses, only those general items of news
from the chief commercial marts, in reference to mark
ets, sales, prices. Ac*., ns are of interest to all—and an
epitome, from day to day, during the sessions of Con
gres, of the important occurrences at the great political
centre—Washington City—together with summaries of
foreign news made up on the arrivals of the steamers
from Europe, at New York and Boston. Futhcr items
nnd details may be still ojien to the competition of the
most enterprising, and whose readers mny require them
—as may be the case in the large cities. Such, the con
templated arrangement is not intended to restrict, But
to such, to the extent it goes, the arrangement will be a
great saving, and a manifirst hern-fit.
The ‘2nd point—to wit. the objects to be attained by
the convention, we consider, is to some extent elucidat
ed by the remarks we have already made. ‘Flies** afford
the outlines of the plan, w hich with the suggestions ob
viously springing therefrom, are quite sufficient for pres
ent purposes.
As to the 3rd point—the manner in which to attain
these objects, we cannot better present it than by cal
ling attention to the comtnun : cntion signed C.—which
recently appeared in the Macon Journal Messenger.
This has reference to n contract to lx* made with one
Company—the Washington nnd New O.leans Tele
graph Company Bit all the telegraph companies can
doubtless be induced to make a common arrangement,
so that it may apply to the whole extent of the tele
graphic lines The exact terms and conditions of the
arrangement can be made known by these com jinnies to
the ed. tonal convention, ora committee of conference
appointed by it, and the propositions ran he then and
there agreed to and definitely acted upon.—We suggest
that the Telegraph Companies undertake the contract
of furnishing to each Press coming into the the arrange
j meat the amount of telegraphic matter agreed upon—
employing tor th purpose agents and reporters it-spon
’ sible to ih** Companies employing them. There wi|l
’ Is* a direct privity of contract between each Press in*
: dividually, and th** Telegraph Company or Companies
■ Each party to it will thus be directly and legally repon
sible to the other tor the tint hint peitormance ot its con
j tract The reputation of the Company is involved in
the tiutliful. promjit aad regular transmission of accurate
reports, and w ill be mtermed to employ efficient and
| reliable reporters. The vital interest of each |)r*ss will
unpH it to the prompt payment ot its quota, tor the m
t’ ltigem-e it thus scouts on such fhvombte terms lor it*

In a matter tfso much importune*, the member* of

that our contract “houlJ c mimetic wilh the day *d its j

The Philadelphia Ledger has received from its nttrn
-1 tive Cincinnati oorresjiondent,via Telegraph, at Zanes
’ vill<\ the following interesting news :
‘ j Messrs Show and Bolden arrived at St. Louis on
’ j Thursday of last week, direct from Oregon, having l *ft
I the frontier settlement* on the sth of May. and made
■ the trip to St. Joseph’s in eiguty-three days.
1 I The pnrty met hut little difficulty on the route. The
| vnriou parties of emigrants to Oregon and California
! w re making rapid progress Davidson and his com
■ j pony were met nt the Big Sandy, and two other com
• panics at Green River.
The Mormons, with their immense train of wagons.
i were met near the Forks of Platte Hiver, on their route
* ! to California, nnd their rulers, the” Twelve Apostles,” ns
* i they are called, were met nt Fort Bridges. It was un
• derstood thnt the Mormons would not proceed thi*
season further than Salt Lake.
At Fort Hall, Messrs Slinw* nnd Thompson met
Samuel Brannon, nnd from him they obtained news
from California down to the ‘2s;h *>f Mny.
1 Lieut. Col. Fremont had been arrested for disobedi
’ ( ’ nce of orders by Gen. Kearney, nnd had been ordered
home to the United States to take trial before a
( ourt Martial. This difficulty grew out of the ill feel
ing and contradictory movements of General Kearney
and Com. Stockton, oad th* question of authority which
existed between them. It was announced some days
1 ago, by Col. Russel, who came with desjmehes,
1 that G.*n. Kearney was about to arrest Col Fremont,
and have him hung as n rebel Nobody, of course, be
lieved the latter jart of the statement ; but the arrest of
3 Fremont proves that the quarrel between Gen Renmey
r and Com. Stockton was more serious than was at first
‘ apprehended.
‘ Coin Stockton had left, and was on his way home.
I The American fleet was off Lower California engng
■ ed against Mazatlan, Acapoloo nnd other towns in that
quarter. The tioops had all been ordered to concentrate
in the same direction. There ino detail given of con
templated movements, but it h doubtless to enforce the
! blockade proclaimed by Com. Biddle.
Gen. Kearney was about to leave California nnd ex
pected to reach the States in the month of September.
The affairs of California generally appear to be in a
very unsettled condition.
1 Messrs Shaw and Thompson learned from Brannon
additional details of the sufferings experienced hv the
‘ parties of emigrants which failed to reach California
1 before the last winter came upon them. They add to
\ the horrors of the previous accounts; seventy-five per
* tshed from cold by exposure to the snow and from star
vation ! The survivors were reduced to the dreadful
! alternative of subsisting upon the dead bodies oi their
! companions!
The whole Reed family, in connection with that of
f Donnor, reached the guttler's settlement in safety, after

Tne W sum mail last night brought us th* St Louis
i papers, coiitfilhltlg this news in full In connection
with the horrid sufferings oi the California emigrants,
the Kejiublican has the following :
Among the number of this unfortuna'e party was a
miscreant, by the name ofKeysberg, who left the States
in Col. Russell’s company. lie had a wile with him,
and contrived, at the extremity of their sufferings, to
send her to the California settlements, when relieved by
persons who went out to aid them. This villian re
mained behind to rob the dead and living of their prop
i erty.

Was robbed by him of about s4,tkX), winch he cached
along w.i:i oth *r spoils. ll* was suspected, threatened,
and riiaiiy preparations were made to hang him up, and
then he disclosed the places where the mon -y was to lie
found. To add to the enormity of his offences, he is
said to have boasted of having lived, for a time, upon
the dead body oi Mis. Georg** Donner, even when pro
visions were within his reach Ollier enormities aie
told of this devil incarnate, but he survived them all and
was employed in the army at last accounts.

The Savannah Georgian of the 16th, thus notices the j
decease of a meat ancient and venerable citizen. He
wall Is* recollected by every one who has visited that
city His adherence to the dress and fashions of the

be said, that he was the “ last of the cocked hats” in
Georgia, and perhaps in the Union.
14 A Revolutionary Soldier Gone !—The lapse of
years has left, among th** living, but few of the venera.
ble men whose fortune it wan to witness the stirring
scenes of our Revolutionary War, and to take a part
in giving birth to our young Republic. Wherever they
have survived, however, they have always been objects
of public notice,esteem and affection. For many years
past, in our owncununnmty, lingering among us like a
aered leal Irom a departed summer, distinguished by his
“Knee-Breeches” and his “Cocked Hat,’ in the penon
ol SIIEFTALL BHEFTALL, K*q.,was recognised
one of the Soldiers ot the Revolution. B*>m in Savan
nah eighty-five y**rs ago his fate has ever been identifi
ed wih hers. litre he lived before the Revolutionary
War ; here he ptrtook of all the intense excitement
which attended ts approach : nnd here he joined the
Continental Array, and linked his individual destiny
with that of hissfffering,strangling country He shar
ed the dangers aiwi withstood th*- horrors attendant up
on the bloody siefe of Savumiah, and fought side by
side with men, w%oae names are now histone. It was
in the surrender of this city that he was taken prisoner,
by the British, and was confined for six months upon the
prison-ship at tins port and at Charleston,during which
time he suffered nurh from hardship and mal treatment
From Charleston he was taken to the West Indira
where h* was permitted to n turn to Philadelphia *>f
his parole of honor. He was subsequently s**nt to
Charleston, with a ffig ot truce, to ial;e*iiumey ior the
relief of the American prison’ rs there, li • held the
appointment of Assistant Coinuitssary m the Army
After the close of the Revolutioa.uy War, he contin
ued to live in this city ; which, m fact, h<* never ielt ex
cept diWiiig ihe period of his iiiiprisoiiiiieiit, and while
it remained in til** hands ol Uk English. He was ad
mitted to the Bar, in Camden C'Minty, shortly after the
War, and was tiie oldest lawyer in the State For a
number of years he held the responsible office of Justice
of tii** Peace, under appointment from the Governor;
an offi*-** in which so muth cun be done for the good or
for the injury of society. Out of near twenty thousand
caws whic h he tried, tfwre was not one ill which his de
cision was reversed. His unceasing effort was to pre
vent unnecessary litigation, and to do just.ee between
fully, and fear lowly
For seven years past his health has been growing ex
ceedingly l ehle. For the lost one or two his venerable
form has been missed from its accustom--d place in Him
j a v.d.und tiie time has at Inst com** tor him to tfopart.
Ho long identified with Snvnnnah, having been acquain
ted with all whose names are wsinected w ith her histo
ry. possessed, even m advanced sg* and Mckness, of a
most extraordinary memory he will be greatly missed
by our citiwn*. He will go to his tomb respected by
all. May he rest m peace !
