JOS M. WHITE.
To An,” w Jackson, President of the I'. States.
From the for, going extracts we learn that General
Clinch was deprived ol hia command in conaeqnenc.
of tend intelligence communicated tr. the President
nnd War Department, tli.it a lew months after his re
movnl G n Jackson reflected, and perceived that to
had committed on error, and attempted to correct it by
tiie re-appointment ofGcn. Clinch, in the event that,
Gen Scott, in Inn discretion, (after a very pointed
i .lint to leave Florida , should return to the command
of his department at Washington City; nnd that a few
weeks niter this diseretionaiy order was issued, thepeo- j
pie of Florida, through their Representative, the Hon ]
J. M. White, importunately nnd “imperiously” do-1
manJed the immediate withdrawal of Gen. Scott, and )
(ns is dearly to he inferred from Mr W's letter,) the
‘•“Condition,tl appointment of Brigadier General
Clinch!”
Gen. Clinch, however, having previously tendered
his resignation and determined to retire to civil life,
for reasons which were esteemed by Gen. Scott “every
way sold and sufficed,” declined this flattering tri
bute to his “experience nnd military capacity,” and
Withdrew from the service. If the voice of the people
ot Florida had been addressed to Gen. Cl nrii person
al.). us well ns < Jen. Jackson, he would not have turn
ed a deatear to tlrdr cries. Ilistiohlc heart would have
been touched by their piteous wailing, and, ns in times
past, th ir habitations and their children would have
found in hint “a refuge nnd a forties., ‘’ But he had
nothing to swerve him (t om the course which he had de
rotmin and to pursue, save the compliment and expressed
desire of the Presid rnt, Gen Jackson; and this alone,
tempting ns it was,proved insufficient He had tracked
the Seminole through the swamps and ponds of his na
tive clime; he had met him in his fastnesses, at his strong
holds. upon his bnt tie-grounds; he had routed him with
the dauntless spirit of a chieftain, on the banks of the
Withlncoochee, at the battle of Oloklikaha. on the
niarcli *rom Tampa Bay to Fort Drane. On all these
occasions, and whenever nn opportunity was presented,
he Imd displayed the vigilance, the courage, ibe hero
tin. i\\e generosity ot the American Soldier; and he
had every where perilled his life and appropriated his
fortune lor the relief of the people anil the accommoda
tion o! the Government! Yea, fellow-citizens, Gen.
Clinch had done nil this, nnd more, liefbre he retired
from the army. lii all contience he had done enough
And the claims ofhis family were then superior, im
measurably superior, to the glitter nnd renown of of
i lice.
For nearly 12 years he has now enjoy’ and the sweets
ol private life. In the county of Camden he lias quietly
dwelt with his family around him. There he has pur
sued the occupation of a Farmer with that simplicity
and dignity tor which he has been everywhere noted.
Ami during a portion of this period of retirement from
the tented fluid, he has occasionally obeyed the n-sdici
ted call of th • people an,l discharged the public duties of
the civilian.
Fellow-citizens ‘ We should bepmrrf of the exalted
character apd distinguished services of Gen Clinch.
Indeed, ire owe him u debt of gratitude which we eon
never adequately repay ! H s patriotic devotion nnd
selt-sacrificing spirit, on numerous private and public
occasions, entitle him to lotting honor. And let it not ‘
be said that the people of Georgia are ungrateful, or
that they are incapable ol appreciating the worth of so
1 gallant a soldier and so excellent a citizen Go,‘then,
to the polls in October next with that patriotic enthusi
asm which is necessary to success, and evince by your
votes that Gen Clinch has not lost the esteem anJ
j confidence of the freeman of Georgia.

In times l>ng past ihorc was a man ~f valor
among the Israelites ol the tribe of Mennasseh, Gideon
by name, who with his three hundred men put to flight
the whole host ot the Midianites by the blowing of his
trumpet and crying 44 the sword of the Lord and of Gid
eon.” It our modern Gideon, whose affix if* Pillow, had
been pushed up by the Chief of the tribes of Jonathan,
to the use of the selfsame means for the accomplish-’
tnent of these or other ends, h’ could not more effectu
ally have re fleeted the likeness of his (possible) proto
type in the simple matter of his blowing; farther than
this the analog)* holdeth not That the parallel may •
seem the more striking wc quote from the 7th chapter ,
of Jul:;es as foil* >ws:
“ Ami he, (Gideon) divided the three hundred men :
into three companies, and he put a trum|>ct in every
man’s hand, with cinjity pitchers, and lamps within tin* |
pitchers.
” And he snid unto them, Look on me, and do like
wise : and behold, when I come to the outside of the
camp, it shall be, that as I do, so shall ye do.
“ When I b’ow with a trumpet, 1 and all that are
with me, th n blow’ ye trumpets also on every side of nil j
the camp, and any, The sword of the Lord, nndol Gid
eon.
“So Gideon, an I the lmml rod men that mere with j
him, came unto the the camp in the begin
ning of the middle wnteh ; and they blew the trumpeis, 1
nnd brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
“Aral the three companies blew the trumpets, nnd !
brake the pitchers,and held the lamps m their left hands, |
ami the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal : I
nnd they cried. The sword of the liOßn and of Gideon.” 1
So saithour modern Gideon. *• Lookon me!” When
I blow with a ttumpet, I and all tlmt are with me,” 1
(to wit, those to whom I dictate the epistles,) “then
blow ye (of the Delta.) tin trumpets also,” and say. “the
swurd ofthc Lord and Gideon,”—but especially of Gid
eon.
And when our valiant modem Gideon blew his trump
et and th*y that were with him (viz his toadies.) blew
likewise, instiumentally alter thp like similitu le, then
the three companies (viz they of the Delta,) blew also
sonorously and “ held the trumpets in tie* right hand to
blow withal and cried the eword of the Lord and of
Gideon,” but especially o f our Gideon—.Ua Journal.

We find in the N. O Bulletin , of the 18th Spt the
subjoined letter, from Col. Wvnkoop, of the Ist. Penn
sylvania Regiment. It will be recollected that Cos! Has
kell, of the Tennessee Regiment, charged Gen. Pii -
low with h**ing the of the failure of the attempt
to take one of the Mex : can forts at Cerro Gordo, be
cause he had, by the orders given, thrown the command
in confusion, placing the rear in front and then neglect
ing them until ninny of the men were cut down by the
fire of the enemy. It will be seen that Col. Wynkoop
fully sustains the position of the Tennessee officers, and
places Mr Polk’s General in rather an awkward posi

Castle of Pfrote. Mexico, >
July 16, 1817. )
To Wm L Hodge, Esq.,
Editor New Orleans Commercial Bulletin:
I perceive, through the medium of the numerous pa
pers. which you had the kindness to send me, that an
altercation has occurred between Gen. Pillow and his
Tennessee Volunteers (the 2d regiment,) relative to the
battle of Cerro Gordo, and I regret that the correspon
dence hn made it necessary to explain my own position,
action nnd instructions, during that fight.
1 have a rooted distaste for this kind of controversy,
and am aware, that the pen of a commander is not al
ways the best evidence, of the ch.valry ofhi.s command.
I command the Ist regiment of Pennsylvania Volun
teers—a body of men, equal, 1 think, to any in the serv
ice, and which possess, at least, the admirable charac
teristic, of always obeying orders.
Upon the field at Cerro Gordo, my men acted in strict
and steady obedience to every order given by me—con
sequently, if their conduct w*as improper, it was through
my imbecility, or cowardice, or the fault of the officer
controlling me.
My orders were received directly from Gen. Pillow,
and w ore given to me in presence of my Lieut Colonel
and the Gmerat s personal staff. A strict obedience to
these orders, brought me before the batteries left in
front, and when I arrived in position, I was compelled
to about face my party, and man<puvre for the charge,
by the rear rank.
This although an error, would not have been fatal to
the result, because my men had been drilled to the
movement, and did not find themselves embarrassed by
it. ,
I w’as ordered by Gen Pillow to tnke a position de
signaled (to me) by his fingers, and was directed to reach
that position by a countermarch from the right flank
(which was in rear, (as we) came on the ground, left m
front*] Tw’o hundred yards before (we reached) the
position, the fire opened, and we w’alked through it,
(and halted) where directed Gen. Pillow', w*hen I
received these instructions, told me to hold the position,
until he gave me orders to (mor*.) The first s gnal a
greed upon w’ns a bugle, but, (as that) instrument could
not be found, promised to send me an officer with the
aider.
’The order never came. 1 sent my adjutant three
times, to request permission to make the attack, and
another officer once Gen Pillow could not be found
My command was standing in full view, and at short
bearing distance from these batteries, and was kept
there until a private came to me, with instructions from
Gen. P to withdraw my command. I refused to move
unless the order was conveyed by an offeer, and re
mained, until an officer carried the instructions.
I had twelve menhot down in attaining the position,
and during the whole of the work, mv men behaved
bravely and Readily. They have, since that time, giv
en me ample evidence of their quality, and 1 have never
doubted them.
1 have merely stated simple facts, relative to the con
diet and control of my own command Ido not criti
cisr cren f***n P i.low’s plans or arrangements, and
would not have wT.'rien thus far. had not the correspon
dence or controversy some degree, the rep
utation of mv command.
Very respectfully. yor ob’t se vinf.

Here is rather a bold expenditure for a people-loving,
economy-professing admimstrnrion. Wew’ould like to
know how the people of Georgia will be pleased with
Polkery and Democracy, when thf*y come to pay their
proportion of theis war debt. War may be a glo. iou*
thing for politicians nnd aspirants after military fame,
: but after nil, the old farmers and planters have to pay
I tor it. Georgia’s piupurtion of the national debt, al
, ready incurred, will not full far short of Four and a half
j Millions. Are the people ready to put into office the
! friend of nn Administration which has done thus much
to squander their means? We shull see on Monday

Cion. Taylor and the Presidency.
The movement in behalf of Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency goes on, in various parts of the country,
with unabntrd spirit. A meeting for this ptuposc was
recently held nt Hnrrodflbnrg, Kentucky, the official
proceedings of which wc find in the Louisville Journal.
” The meeting was remarkable,” mivs the Journal,
” ns being a spontaneous movement ofthc people, in
which the leaders and the masses of both political par
ties met and united.”
The Preamble and resolutions adopted on the ocension
present n graphic outline of the state into which the
hmsiness of politics has fallen, having become pretty
much an nffnir of caucuses, office-seekers nml oflic<*-
holders, with all the embittered virulence ol personal
contention for the spoilsol office ;it refers to General
Taylor as a man admi’ahly calculated to restore n
better spirit to our political sphere, and concludes a re
view of that distinguished person's characteristics as fol-
And whereas, we sec m this remarkable man a pow
erful mind, with a judgment singula ily clear and correct,
accompanied by unaasuning inolest\ f . great di nity
and ervrgy of character and at the same time unpre
tudirur plainness of the simplest citizen, and the exhi
hitn iot patriotisn as pur? and unselfish ns that of Wash
hiiton hilnself; and whereas, rill this is well calculated
to point him out ns n man wo**thv of h’<rh office ; and
is particularly ntrreeahle to
candidate f>r the Presidency, from the fo-mnate efr
cumstenc'* th*t he has been entirely aloof from the
pa *t v conflicts of the cou'it r y. has formed no 44 entang
ling allhnces” w th intriguing politicians or wire-work
ers : rn 1 if elected would have no debts to pay with the
office an I money of the poopb* for partisan election
eering services : and whereas, as President he would he
unfettered and could give full play to the honesty of*hi
nature as the President of the whole country and not of
a party ; nml whereas, the administration of such a man
under such circumstances could not fail to be produc
tive of much good to the country ; therefore—
Hr solved. That with ou whole hearts we min in the
nomination of Zachary Taylor lor the Presidency ol th*
United States as the candidate of the jmoplc

Old Zac. in Illinois.
The and legates to the Illinois State Constitutional
Convention, friendly to the election of Gen. Taylor to
the Presidency, held a meeting in the State House at
Springfield, on the 30th ult., and unanimously expressed
their choice in the following rrsolutionu :
Resolved, That we, the undersigned, members of the
Illinois State Constitutional Convention, do, asindivid
ink nominate Gen. Zachary Taylor as a candidaiefor
the next Presidency of the United States.
Resolved, That it be recommended to those in each

Gen. Zachary Taylor to the Presidency, to nominate
an Elector in each Circuit, to be run on the Taylor tick

Manufacture* in ('inciuita!i.
Using up the Whole Hog —ln proof ofth* progress
of the arts throughout the whole extent of this country,
we extract the following from a Cincinnati paper:
“ We saw yesterday at the Drug and Chemical es
tablishment of George II Bates &. Cos. a chrystalizod
pyramid of Prussiate of Potash, that can be consid
ered in no other light than a scientific, mechanical Cin
cinnati curiosity. It is two and a half feet in height and
eight and a half inches in diameter, with a base of til
teen inches, weighing one hundred pounds. It rises in
rough, irregular layers, each layer having the most per- 1
feet ami finished edge imaginable. No sculptor or art
ist with keenest tools could make finer work The col
or is a heautilul orange. This article of commerce is J
made extensively by these gentlemen and exported east
lor the use of dyers and others. It may be curious and
instructive to the render to know that Prussiate of Pot
ash is made of potash, old shoes, hoof of cattle, woolen
rags, and all refuse animal matter. But the main thing
used by them is the refuse of the hogs killed in this vi- ,
I cinity.viz: the hoofr.hair, blood, and crackling.,'! lard, |
so there is nothing left of the hog after he passes through
the hands ol our population.”
A Now Invention.
Th” Bucks County Intcll genrer * ay*, a icw days
since a wagon hung upon invisible spiral springs, con
structed upon a newnnd singular plan, made its appear
ance in our streets, and attracted some attention. We
I took a ride in it. and were delighted with it* easy and
; graceful motion, especially in c ossmg gullies or rough
, f dun.l—it having more the tyotion ol a light boat in
I gliding over the wave*, than a vehicle upon wheels.
The springs are made of brass wire, and though
weighing only lour pounds, will carry a load of a quar
! ter of a ton, and can easily be varied in size to support
any weight desired. There is also connected with them i
an invention to prevent the carriage wheel touching the [
body in turning, wh eh is a great improvement. Meas
ures, we understand, are in progress for securing a pa
tent tor this important invention.
Iron in Pennsylvania.
In lfl-16. there were 366,056 tons of Iron produced in
Pennsylvania by 316 furnaces The value of this iron
was $'d3,023.<M0, equal to the annual produce of the
Mines in Mexico in their palmiest days, and double the
j produce ol those mines now The value of the coal,
j mined in Pennsylvania, during the name year, was
scarcely less than the value of the iron manufactured.
