Having now, beyond oil question, and by the united testimony of the hundred* who have tested tho virtues of the White Sulphur, secured for the establishment a degree of confi dence aed favor unparalled in the history of any other wa tering plaeo so recently ofTercd to the public patronage.— The proprietor has been encouraged to make considerable improvements since the last season, upon the buildings and pleasure grounds attached to the place. He hat also erect ed a commodious and comfortable BATHING HOUSE. He has engaged the services of Mrs. Thornton, foiraerly of Gainesville, so that no inducement shall bo wanting to se cure the patronage ol the public. To the stranger, who has never tested tha virtues of the crystal fountains and balmy atmosphere of this plMsaut reginn.it is only necessary to say that these Springs are located in the midst of the most delightful and healthy re- gion'of our Stale, a few miles north of the Pine Mountain, and only nine miles southeast of Greenville, through which place a dnily lin" of stages, connecting with the principal lines of the Union, is now in operation The Proprietor flatters himself that his Is tbo only es tablishment in the whole South, where the visiter cau bo accommodated with an eqaai variety of waters. Hero we have the pureit freestone fountains, the strong and the mild chalybente, and the white sulphur, -.urpassmg in parity, ami in the. distribution of its elements, any hitherto known. But besides this, we have a country nbouudiug in scenery romantic and beautiful, and are surrounded by a population unsurpassed for intelligence and moral worth, by that ot any ot her farming district in the 8tate. From these advan tages wo may safely expect to draw all that tnay be re quired to gratify the intellectual, moral or physical appe tites of our visitors; and neither expense, solicitude, nor effort on the part of the Proprietor, shall be wanting to rendor this Watering Place as popular for Its accommoda- tlobs as it already is unrivalled for the gifts of a beneficent Providence. . [QP A line of Stages will be run tltreo times a week, from Columbus, vis Hamilton, to While Sulphur Springs. The Ball Room will be opened every evening, and will be provided with tbo very best music the country affords. N. B.

This House will be opened on the 20th day of May next. The Mclutosh House is in depth 250 feet by 43 wide— emtsias between seventy and eighty large and airy rooms, teetber with three spacioos Drawing Rooms and a splen- dU Ball Room; largo and wide Piazzas extending around the Hotel—making it what has so long been desired at this Sfiing—one of the largest and most commodious Hotels evrr e reeled at any watering place io the Southern country. During the last two seasons there has been much com- pltint for want ot more accommodations for the hundreds ib«t daily flock to this well known and justly celebrated wrtering place. Tlii* season there shall be no reason of complaint for want of accommodations, or indeed any tiling connected wi:h this establishment. The Mcluosh House will accommodate over four hun dred persons I • Neither pains or expense have been spared in furnishing and fining up this House so as to render it truly a house for all who may favor it with their patronage. The furni ture is all new and of the m<»t sterling kind, having been made up to order for this establishment- The location of the McIntosh House is on the brow of the McIntosh Hill, overlooking the Spring, for many years the residence of the celebrated Col. McIntosh of the Creek nation, so well known and associated in the Indian history of oar country. The Subscriber, therefore, flatters himself that in order, comfort, and systematic arrangement, the McIntosh House shall not be surpassed; and hopes from bis continued ex ertions to please, he may secure a share of the public pat ronage.

Edmund P. Gaines and Gen. Winfcld Scott of the army of the United States. The report of the Secretary of War, and the accompanying correspondence with General Gaines, contain all the information in my pos session in relation to calls for “ volunteers or militia into the service of the United States” “by any officer of tbe army,” without legal “au- thority therefor,” and of the: ‘'measures which have been adopted” “‘in relation to such officer or troops so culled into service.” • ftrndduioii to the information contained hi , the report of the Secretary of War, nnd the accompanying correspondence wilh “ Major General Scott of the United States army, upon the subject of his taking the command of the army of occupation on the frontier of Texas” I state, that on the same day on which l ap proved and signed the act of the 13th of May, 1846, entitled ‘‘An act providing for the prose cution of the existing war beiween Ihe United States and the republic of Mexico,” I commu nicated to General Scott, through ihe Secre tary of War, and also in a personal interview with that officer, my desire that he should take command of the army on the Rio Grande, and of the volunteer forces, which I informed him, it was my intention forthwith to call out to that frontier, to be employed in the prosecution of the war against Mexico. The tender ofthe command to General Scott was voluntary on my part, and was made without any request or intimation on the subject from him. It was made in consideration of his rank as comman der-in-chief of the army. My communications with General Scott assigning him the command were verbal, first through the Secretary of War, and afterwards in person. No written order was deemed to be necessary. General Scott assented to assume the command, and on the following day I had another interview with him and the Secretary of War, in relation to tbe number and apportionment ambus the several States, ofthe volunteer forces to be called out for immediate .service; the forces which were to be organized and held in readiness subject to a future call should it become necessary ; and -***r‘- mililoru r*WmaruI(Aru» Dn.1 rvw»t*c*»*»*»•*►— UlllCl lifSUUIJ Y..M U.VJtwUJGtllO IU be made wilh a view to the vigorous prosecu tion of the war. It was distinctly settled and was well understood by General Scott, that he was to command the ariny in the war against Mexico, and so continued to be settled anil un- derstood, without any other intention on my part, until the Secretary of War submitted to me Ihe letter of Geo. Sroit ndAressed to-him under date of the 21st of May, i846, a copy of which is herewith communicated. ’The char acter of that letter, made it proper in my judg ment to change my determination in regard to the command of the army; and the Secretary of War by my direction, in his letter of the 25th of May, 1846» a copy of which is also herewith communicated, for the reasons there in assigned, informed General Scott that lie was relieved from the command of the army, destined to prosecute tho war against Mexico, and that he would remain in the discharge of iiis duties at Washington. The command of the army on the frontier of Mexico has since been assigned to General Taylor with his brevet rank of major-general, recently conferred iipon him. JAMES K. POLK. Washington, June 8,1846. [We insert that portion ofthe correspondence relating to General Winfield Scott, which is ns follows:] War Department, June 8,1846. Sib : In compliance with your direction, I have the honor to transmit herewith such let ters and documents us are in this department, to enable you to answer the resolution cf the Senate of the 5th instant, requesting informa tion. First, in relation to unauthorized callsof volunteers and militia into the service of the United S ales by any officers of the army, &c. Second, the correspondence between the Secre tary of War and Major General Scott, on the subject of his taking the command of the army of occupation on the frontiers of Texas, See. And third, the correspondence between Gene ral Gaines and the government, from the 1st of June, 1845, to the present time, upon the sub ject of volunteers or militia ordered to the fron tiers of Texas, The information requested in the first and last branches of the resolution, is mainly fur nished by the correspondence herewith submit^ ted between this department and General Gaines, who is tho only officer of «ho army known to have oalled for volunteers or m litia without legal authority within the periods spe cified. The fust unauthorized call by that offi- cei was made on the governor of Louisiana on the 15th of August, 1845, for two companies of volunteer artillery, (about 200 men,) which were musteieJ’into service on the 21st of that month, and imm p diately sent to Texas, to re port to General Taylor at Corpus Christi. As soon as information of this call was made known to the department, General Gaines was reminded, in a communication addressed to hjm that authority Io make such calls was vosted only In the President) and that ‘‘the emergency which would tolerate or excuse the assumption of this authority by a military officer in com mand at a distance from the scat of government, in anticipatioq^f the President's action must be one indicating great and imminent peril to the country—a peril so grrat and so imminent ns to leave no reasonable doubt that the I rt si- dent, with a full knowledge of all the circum stances of the case, would have felt it to he his duty to resort to such aid.” As the call had been promptly responded to, and the troops sent to their destination before the action of i Gen. Gaines could be stayed, Gen. Taylor ; was directed to receive and retain them in ser- ! vice, as loug ns, in his judgment, the public ex ; igency might require, although, by your dircc- I tiop, Gen. Gaines was informed that his proceo- j ting was not approved by you. These vol unteers were discharged and sent home on the expiration of their three monlhs’ term of service. > No further calls appear to have been mads ; by Gen. Gaines for volunteers or militia, until early in May of tho present year, when uiiau- j tbnrized request, or requisition* in various 'j forms and of ditTeient import, were made by ; him for a volunteer fotce, Nome to be in reaJt- i ness, and others for immediate entrance into service, the amount of which is not yet known al this department,,but, as fur as ascertained,, is embraced in a statement which is among the ■documents herewith furnished. It is also understood, that he lms taken meas ures to organize troops independent of his calls upon States-through the respective governors;: and the accompanying documents show that lie hud appointed various staff officers, without iu-- structions or legal authority. As soon as infor-t- mation was leceived of loose proceedings,, prompt measures were taken to counteract them, and to arrest this coucse of independent- action. A portion of tiiose thus called into ser vice by requisitions upon tho governors of Al abama, Mississippi,, and Missouri, having promptly responded to the same, the governors- of those States were informed: that these culls upon them had been recognised “ to the extent' of the numbers furnished and sent to Texas." To this extent, and no further, has the conduct of Gcnci’al Gaines, in making requisitions call ing into service ahd organizing troops, been, recognised, and. all beyond has been distinctly disapproved. By your direction orders have been issued! relieving him from the command of the westerm division and requiring him to repair to this city- The correspondence called for by I lie secondi branch of the resolution accompanies this com munication. In .relation to that part of it which' asks for information “ whether any order was- at any time given by the President or Secre tary of War to Gen. Scott to proceed to tho Rio Giande, or to take command of the army,” Sic., I have to state that,, about the lime the law recognising the existence of a war between 1 the United States and Mexico, and authorizing i the raising a volunteer force of 50,G00 men was passed, I had a conversation with Major" General Scott, and, by your direction, informed him that you intended lo put the army, design ed to operate against Mexico, under his imme diate command, and invited him, as you reques- ted me to do, to call on you for the purpose of receiving your views and instructions. An in terview between yourself and -him, at which I was present, shortly after look place, when you; announced to him your determination to assign- him to the comipand of the army in the war against Mexico. The order and instructions tQ him were verbal, and I am not aware that they have been reiterated in writing. He im mediately Entered upon the necessary arrange ments to carry into effect your views and in structions. and, down to the present time, has been assiduously engaged in the duties of ?;»» officn; Interviews Consultations between' him and myself, ofien at my particular instance,- have very frequently taken place in regard le' arrangements and preparations for carrying on- the war. "When 1 first communicated to him' your intention to place him in the command cf the army, he replied, that he should neither de cline nor solicit that service; but at once on receiving your verbal order, entered readily into Hie piepainioiy rucasu,«.» -•«• ....y nl.... into effect. I am not aware that he claimed' “that command as due him from his rank in the army” or expressed any wish to he assigned to 1 it, until his preference was intimated in his let ter of the 25th ultimo, in reply to mine of the same date, and his claim set forth in that of the 27th, both which are aiming the papers here with submitted. His wishes in this respect haYe not been made known to me, further than they are expressed in these two letters. I had no intimation whatever that you intended to change, or thought of reconsidering the orders to General Scott, Committing to him the com mand of the army to operate against Mexico, until I had submitted to you his letter to mo of the 21st ultimo. After your examination of that letter I received your direction, changing your previous orders, and Communicated it to' him in my letter ofthe 25th of May. I have the honor to be, with great respect',- your obedient servant, W. L. MARCY. To the ^RESIDENT! Headquarters of the Army, V Washington, May 21, 1846. ) Sin i I have received no orders, as yet, as signing me to the immediate command of ihe army about to be raised to conquer a peace within Mexico} but 1 have been told to hold myself in readiness for that service. From that moment I have occupied myself, incessantly, with the vast preliminary arrangements which can only lie made advantageously at this place, through the respective chiefs of the general staff—the adjutant general, quartermaster geiK eral, commissaiy general of subsistence, Chief of ordnance, and surgeon general.. 1 have, been much occupied also in the distribution of the quotas of volunteers needed among the sev eral States; in apportioning the horse to the foot; in the^sludy of the routes cf march and water conveyances for the several bodies of troops to the best points in the frontiei’s of Mex ico; in the study of the northern interior, and tne southern routes of that republic; in look, ing lo the means of transportation on the Rio Grande, to and beyond that river, in determi ning the ridfBts of supplies of all sorts on this side, &ci, &c. As these matters ate tcspectively settled, or- dersand instructions have been, or will be giv en, to the chicls pf ihe general staff at this place, and the rouies of march and water cou- veyanoes, together with the depots for supplies of description, are finally to be comhiumcated to the unknown commanders of volunteers whose services are to be accepted. In the midst of these multitudinous and in dispensable occupations I have learned from you that much impatience is already felt, per haps in high quarters, that I have not already put myself-in route for tbe Rio Grands; and now, with fourteen hours a day of preliminary work remaining on my hands for many days, I find myself compelled tp stop that necessary work to guard myself against, perhaps, utter condemnation in the quarters alluded to. I am too old a soldier, apd have had too much spe cial experience, not to feel the infinite impor tance of securing .myself against danger (ill will or pre-'coildemmitioii) in my rear before advan cing upon the public enemy- Not an advantageous s'ep c.m be tar.cn in ,i forward march without the confidence that al! is well behind. If insecure in thiit quarter, no genera! can put his whole heart and rniud into tho work to be done in fio.it. 1 am, tbeieioie, not a little alarmed, nay crippled in niv . nei pies, by the kn tv ‘ dg - - question, and I beg to say 1 four no e.h.-r tiku ger. .9 My intentions have been, r-.ter rr..t tme ah
