I IjeMMonn in Drnwingand on the Piano Forte, will he given by Mias Ahhy O Rtrt.rv JOHN II MALLARD, A M Principal 1 Dec 8 1H47 * VARIETY. VV e had the pleasure of hearing from the lips of this gallant officer of our Navy, a detail of his misfortunes and sufferings whilst a prisoner in the hands of the Mexicans. Mr. Rodgers, it will be recollected, was I enptured whilst engaged on shore examining the forti , ficutions of the enemy nt Vera Cruz—was tried by a j r * v 'l <,ourt ,in l condemned to he shot, but Gen. Lundern I then in command otthat port, set aside then the judg j ~,ent; Be was then sent a close prisoner to the City of ! .Mexico, where was treated with great rigor and Unrsh | ness, Infing restricted in his food nnd deprived of ncar- Ily all the comforts and necessaries of life. Alter th j battle ol Cerro Gordo, Mr. Rodgers had an interview with Gen. Santa Anna. With strong feelings of enmi ty tow'anls nil Mexicans, lie entered the President’s pal ace, but he acknowledges that when he saw Santa An na, he was involuntary impressed with feelings of respect admiration for the man. He received from the President assurances ol kindly treatment, and many which were never kept. Finally, Mr. R. was released on bonds, amt snatching a favorable opportunity, esca ped from the city in the disguise of an English work man on his way to the manufactories near Puebla. To sustain this clmrsotor, h proourod from a friendly Scotchman the usual certificate or passport, and by the aid of false whiskers, inoustuchios and coarse garments, escaped observation and detection. On his way to Pu ebla he overtook some young ladies with whom he had become acquainted in the City of Mexico, and who be ing accompanied by their father, gave him great con cern lest they should expose and betray him. But, with the sagneity and kind-heartedness of woman in every land and in every age, they perceived his condi tion and purpose, were cautious not to recognize him, nnd kept their secret untill they thought he had time to get to Puebla. Mr. Rodgers says his leelings, when he saw the American sentinel at our outposts near Pueb i were indescrible. He lelt as if he could have hug* I ged the rough soldier with joy and delight. He was re ! ceived by Gen. Scott and the officers of the army with | much kindness, was appointed on the staff of Gen. Pillow, and accompanied the army through all the hard fought battles winch led to the capture of the city. He is mentioned in the despatches of Gens. Scott and Pil low in high terms of praise, for his gallantry and cool ness. Mr. Rodgers is quite a young man, of remarkab'v amiable and pleasing countenance, and easy, off-hand manners: he looks as if the drawing-room rutk*r than the prison, the soiree, rather than the battle-field, had been the scene of his exploits for months past. But to the close observer, there is a dare-devil expression a bout the eye, and a fearless self expression of his face, which denote his true character as a man of daring> courage and enterprise.— N. 0. Delta. Gen, Pillow and the Ijeonidas letter. The Picayune, of the 25th ult. has the following: “ The letter ot ‘ Leonidas’ can do us but little hurt; and it is more in vindication of iruth than from ill-will towards any body, that we mention the fact that the o riginal manuscript, with amendations, interlineations and marginal notes, has lallen into the hands of Gen. Scott. Its production will demonstrate the agency ol Gen. Pillow in its composition—it will more than sus tain us in all that we have said, and show that when | the people deemed he wa9 hewing down the enemies ol his country, this modem Gideon was hacking his sword upon the commandments of God.” To which the N. O. Bulletin ndiis : “ The above statement of the Picayune is not only confirmed to us, by undoubted authority, but with the addition, that fe * interlineations and marginal notes, are in the hardwriting of Gen. Pillow. “ It appears that the fair copy of the letter, w’hich wras eceived and published here, was forwarded by the ( j British Courier’ and got safe through, but the first draft, j i with Gen. Pillow’s amendations, met with a mishap i on its route, and fell into Gen. Scott’s hands. ! “ There was but one feeling in the army’ on the sub- | ject, and there will be some rich disclosures respecting ‘ | it, wdiieh we are not at liberty, at present, to allude to.” | The Sub-treasury. | The Edinburg (N. C.) Whig narrates a recent trans action at the custoine-house at Beaufort, which admi rably exemplifies the economical operation of that beau i tiful Loeofoco machine, the fciub-Treasury. The Wing | says: The collector at Beaufort, received orders to transfer ! ; the funds in his hands amounting to about f7OO, to the the Collector at Wilmington. The most economical conveyance that presented itself was by stage ; but it would not do to send the specie, the only currency re- I cognized by the Sub-Treasury, without a protector, and iherefore the Beaufort Collector had to hire a trust wor- 1 thy person to accompany it to Wilmington; and the cost ol transferring this S7OO amounted to 50 odd dol- , lars Now, but for this miserable Sub-Treasury law. the funds could have been transferred, through either of the Banks at Newbem, without costing the govern- ! ment a dollar. Now, ilit cost SSO to transfer S7OO from Beaufort to Wilmington, what is the cost of transfer to New Or- 1 leans of one year’s expens* sos the war with Mexico f i Will some advocate of the Sub-Treasury figure out and , j answer ? — The March to the Kio Grande. The efforts of the Administration and itspnrtizans to include Gen. Taylor in the responsibility of the move | ment to the Rio Grande, take all the various forms o f | insinuation and of direct allegation. But let us hear j (Jen Tavlor speak for himaelf: j “it is with great deference that 1 make any suggest- I i ions on topics which may become matter of delicate ne * gotiation ; but if our Cruvernment, m setting the boun tlary of Texas, makes the hue of the Rio Grande an ’ ultimatum, I cannot doubt that the settlement will be j ; greatly laciliated ami hastened by our taking |mi-s- | ! sion at once of one or two suitable points on or quite . near that river. •••••* j This was Gen. Tayloi’s language to the War De- ] partment, and it was induced by frequent hints in Mr Marcy's letter* to him respecting the Rio Grand— hints so thrown out that it woul J seem the Government wax anxious that Gen. Taylor should move to that river without special onlers to do so. In the same des- i patch, however, from which we have quoted, the Gen- j eral adds; “ /do not feel at liberty under my instruc - I turns to make a funr trd movement to the Rio Grande without authority from the W at UeiMirtment .” The march ot our troops to the Rio Grande, iti* known, precipitated the war with Mexico—a war which ! in the opinion of Mr. Burro* ami of Mr. Calhoun, might have been avoid*d. I The subsequent action of Congress, recognising the war anJ providing for its prosecution, may be regarded by some as an assumption of the whole rrtpotiwbility | ot the preliminary steps. This, however, presents a | distinct question which will lie judged of, no doubt, in > time At present it ieproper to have the fact* truly set 1 forth and known.

M Es s \ (; Fellow Citizens of the Semite, and of the House of Representatives. The animal meeting of Congress is always nn iiiter esting event. The Representatives of the Htatesandof the people come fresh from their constituents to take counssi together for the common gwal. Alter an ex istence ol near three-fourths t)f n century as a free and independent Republic, the problem no longer remains to be solved, whether man is capable ot self-government, i he success ol our admirable system is a conclusive re futation of the theories of those in other countries who maintain that “a favored few” are born to rule, and that the mass ol mankind must be governed hy force. Sub ject to no arbitrary or hereditary authority, the people are the only sovereigns recognized by our constitution. Numerous emegrants ol every lineage and language,at tracted hy the civil und religious freedom we enjoy, and hy our happy condition, mutually crowd to out shores, and transfer their heart, not less than their allegiance, to the country whose dominion belongs alone to the people. No country has been so much favored, or should ac knowledge with deeper reverence the manilestations of the Divine protection. An all-wise Creator directed and guarded us in our infant struggle for freedom, and 1 bus constantly watched over our surprising progress, j until we have become one of the greatest nations ol the 1 earth. it is in a country thus favored, and under a govern m nt in winch the executive and legislative branches h(iu tiitir auuiuiity lor limiuni pMrioua, niikp Irom il, people, and where all are responsible to the respective constituents, that it is again my duty to commuuicate with Congress upon the affairs of the Union, und the , pn sent condition of public affairs. During the past year the most gratifying procts arc presented that our country has been blessed w.iha wide spread und universal prosperity. There has been no period since the government was founded, when all the industrial pursuits of our people have been more success ful, or w hen labor ill all blanches of business has receiv ed a laircr or better reward. From our ndance we have been enabled to perform the pleasi jty ol furn ishing food for the starving miiiioiH tl lavored countries. In the enjoyment of the bounties ol Providence nt home, such as have rarely fallen to the lot of any peo ple, it is cause u! congratulation, that our intercourse witli all the Pow'ersoi the earth, except Mexico, con tinues to be ol an amicable character. It has ever been our cherished policy to cultivate jeaceaiKl good will with all nutious; and this iolicy has been steadily pursued by me. No change has taken place in our relations with Mex icosince the adjournment of the last Congress. The warm which the United States were forced to engage with the government ol that country still continues. 1 deem it unnecessary alter the lull exposition o! them contained in my message of the lltli Alay f Irt4<’>, ami m my annual message at the commencement ot tin* ses sion ot Congress in December last, to reiterate the se nous causes of complaint which we had against Mexi eo iwtojc sue niiiuiu’iirpd hinm.i... It is sufficient on the present occasion to say, that the wanton violations ol the rights ot person and prop erty ot our citizens committed by Mexico, her repeated actsol bad laith through a long series ol years, and her disregard of solemn treaties, stipulating for indemnity to our injured citizens, not only constituted ample cause ot war on our part, but were of such an aggravated character as would have justified us before the w hole world in resorting to this extreme remedy. With an anxious desire to avoid a rupmre between the two coun tries, we forbore for years to assert our clear rights by force, and continued to seek redress lor the wrongs we had suffered by amibable negotiation, in the hope that Mexico might yield to pacific councils and the demands of justice. In tins hope we were disappointed. Our minister of peace sent to Mexico, was insultingly re jected. The Mexican government refused even to hear the terms of adjustment, which he was authorised to propose; and finally, under wholly unjustifiable pre texts involved the two countries in wur, hy invading the territory of the State of Texas, striking the first blow, A shedd ug the blood ol our citizens on our own soil. Though the United States were the aggrieved na tion, Mexico commenced the war, and we were com • peiled, m sell-delence, to repel the invader, and to I vindicate the national honor and interests by prosecu ting it with vigor, until we could obtain a just and hon orable peace. On learning that hostilities had been commenced by j Mexico, i promptly communicated that fact, accom ) panied with a succinct statement of our causes of com plaint against Mexico, to Congiess; and that body, by the act ol the 13th of May, JB4fi, declared that “hy ■ the act of the republic of Mexico, a state of war exists j between that government and the United States”—this [ act declaring “the war to exist by the act of the repuh i lie of Mexico,” and making provision for its prosecu- I tion ‘to a speedy and successful termination, ’ w aspuss jed with great unaimity by C - th r In-ing but I two negative vou> in the Senate, and but fourteen m | the House of Representatives. The existence of the war having thus been declared by Congress, it became my duty, under the constitu- tion and the laws, to conduct and prosecute it. This J duty ha* performed; uud though, at every stage of its progress, I have manifested u willingness to ter j mil Mite it by a just pence. Mexico has refused to accede . to any terms which could tie accepted hy the United j Sftates, consistently with the national honor and in ’ lerest. j The rapid and brilliant successes of our arms, and I the vast extent of the enemy’s ter nory which had been i overrun and conquered, before the close of the last ses sion ol Congress, were fully known to that body ‘ Since that tune, the war has been prosecuted with in creased energy, ami 1 am gratified to state with a suc- I cess which commands universal admiration. History ! presents no parallel of so many glorious victories achie ved by uny nation within so short a jeriod. Our urmy ! regulars and volunteers, have covered themselves with imperishable honors. Whenever and wherever our forces have encountered the enemy, though he was in I vastly superior numbers, and often entrenched in fori i - tied positions ot his own selection, ami of great strength, lie lias been defeated. Too much prni*v cannot hebe | stowed upon our officers und men, regulars and volun teers, lor their gallantry, discipline, indomitable cour- I age and pcisevaranee, all seeking the post ot danger, j und vs ing with each other m deeds of noble daring. | While every patrioi’s beat t must exult, and u just no j tional pride animates every bosom, m beholding tlw* . high proofs ot courage, consummate military skill, stea j dy discipline, nnd humanity to the vinq ushed *nemv, I exhibited hy our gallant army, the nniion is called to j mourn over the loss of many brave officers and soldiers who have fallen in defence of their country’s honor and interests. The brave dead met their melancholy fate in a foreign land, nobly discharging t lie ir duty, and with their country’s Hag waving triumphantly in the tane ot the foe Tiieir patriotic deeds are justly nppie ctated, and will long le remembered by their grateful country men The parental care of the government they loved und served should be extended to their sur viving families. tihordy aner the n.ijoumm-nt of the last session of j Congress, the gratifying inn Ihgence was received of j tlie sigual victory of Buena Vista and of the lull of the ! city of Vera Cruz, and with the strong castle ol San j Juan de I'lloa, by winch it was delee.led Believing Uiat after these and other ru c> **es, su honorable to our unns and ao disastrous to Mexico, the period was pro- I pilfcma to afford her another opportunity it sh** thought i proper to embrace it, to enter into negotiations tor peace, | u coiniuuwioner was appointed to proceed to the head quarters of our army, with full powers to enter upon j negotiations, and to conclude a just nod honorable trea |ty ol puac\ He was not directed to make any new overtures of iience, but was bearer of a despatch from the Secretary ot Slate of the United Btates to the Munster ol Foreigh affairs of Mexico, in reply to one received from the latter ot the twenty-ecoiiJ of February, 1847, !ni which the Mexican government was informed of I Ins apfMuiitmetit.aiid of Ins presence at tlie headquarters ;of our army, and that h>’ was invested with full powers !to conclude a definitive treaty of peace, whenever the Mexicsu government might signify a desire to do ao.— i While 1 was unwilling to Mjbject the United Slates to another indignant refusal, I was yet resolved that the evils of the war should not lie protracted a day longer than might lie rendered almoiutely necessary hy toe Mexican government.
