General Taylor’s Justification of the War.
The National Intelligencer taking the lead, is
followed by the Whig press generally through
out the country, in dodging behind the instruc
tions by the government to Gen. Taylor, in
publishing his proclamation after the* battles ;
on the Kio Grande, justifying the war against
Mexico. How pleasing it is for them to con
sider Gen. Taylor in that document, as the
mere military agent of the Government, and
as a commanding general, bound to obey or
ders. We are indebted to the "Lynchburg Re
publican for dispelling the soothing hallucina
tion and bringing before the people the opin
ions of Old Zack himself, untrammelled by
the Government. No matter which way the
whigs turn upon this subject, the fate of the
wight awaits them, who in climbing the moun
tain, found the only pass before him guarded
by an adder —below him a precipice over which
he could not retreat —and thus remained the
victim of his own rashness:
“The Virginian publishes a letter from the
Secretary of War to show that General Taylor
did not write his late proclamation to the Mexi
cans, and consequently that he is not responsi
ble for the views it sets forth, in relation to the
causes of the war. But does not the Virginian
know that General Taylor some time before de
clared upon his own responsibility and authori
ty, that the war was brought about by the Mexi
can authorities r Has our neighbor overlooked
the letter written by General Taylor to Ampu
diaonthe 22d of April, 1840, without instruc
tions or the knowledge of the War Department,
in which he used the following significant lan
guage :
“After all that has passed since the Ameri
can army first approached the Rio Bravo, I am
certainly surprised that you should complain
of a measure which is no other than a natur
al result of the state of war so much insisted
upon by the Mexican authorities existing at
this time. You xcill ercu.se me for recalling a i
fete circumatanccs, to shaio that this tear has not
been sought by the American army, but has been ,
forced xqyon it , and the exercise of the rights in
cident to such a state cannot be made a subject of 1
complaint.”
Interesting - Relic.
We were, yesterday afternoon, shown a
Tobacco Box, of antique workmanship, mauu- 1
factored of copper and of ample dimensions. |
The top is curiously engraved with armorial j
pearings, and on the reverse is engraved a
Bachanalian subject—on the side is the follow- j
ing inscription, “Presented to Gen. George
Washington, as a token of respect, by Sir Wil
liam Howe, A. D., 1777.” The Bachanalian j
engraving appears to have been in part of an
indelicate nature, which has been effaced ap
parently with a penknife or some rude instru
ment, and it is not at all improbable and is
highly characteristic to suppose that this was
done by the hand of ‘-the father of his country”
himself. This relic was dug up at “Grey’s
Ferry,” near Philadelphia, a few years after the
occupancy of that place, as an American en- =
cainpraent, and has been for a long period in
the possession of a gentleman of this city.
A country carpenter having neglected to
mak(<u gallows that had been ordered by a I
certain day, the judge himself went to the '
man, and said. “Fellow, how came you to no- |
gleet making the gibblt that I ordered j
Without intending a sarcasm, the man replied, !
“I am very sorry; for had I known it was for t
your lordship, it should have been done im- j
mediately. - . .

Sand's Sarsaparilla.
This invaluable medicine has wpn its way in
" public favor until it has become the only acknow
ledged preparation that can be relied upon for the
removal and cure of all diseases originating in an
impure and depraved state of the blood and other
fluids. It is not reduced in medicinal value by the
addition of sugar, and is prepared by a peculiar
process entirely new. The principle which ren
ders this root so valuable is wholly preserved. This
Sarsaparilla is extensively recommended and
proved to be highly beneficial for purifying the
blood, and removing unhealthy humors, eradica
ting the effects of mercury from the system, clearing
the skin, &c. It is also used with the happiest ef
fects in Rheumatism and Neuralgia.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents, gratis.

The following article we copy with pleasure
from the Boston Mercantile Journal. March 1846,
and we hope if any of our numerous readers are suf
fering from any of the complaints which it is said to
cure, they will speedily avail themselves of it.
Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
It was known,many years ago that the wild cher
ry tree of this cKmate possessed valuable medicinal
properties. Indeed this fact was known to the
Aborigines, and a decoction of the leaves or bark of
this tree has ever been regarded by their physi
cians as one of the most effectual remedies in many
diseases. This fact, several years since, arrested
the attention of Dr. Wistar, a highly respectable
practitioner of Virginia. He investigated with
care the healing properties of the wild cherry—
tested its effects when administered alone, and
when in combination with other remedial agents.—
He found that its natural virtues might be greatly
gaHti*n mi i ■■iiiwwiiimu w i vm mum
improved and by combining it with ingredients,
whose properties were well proved and generally
recognised, a medicine was produced which con
stitutes a remedy of great value in pulmonary af
fections, and diseases of the chest and throat—dis
eases which are proverbially prevalent in our cities
and large towns, and often prove fatal, swelling the
bills of mortality to a much greater extent than is
the case with most other, we had almost said, all
other classes of diseases.
None genuine unless signed I. BUTTS on the

Through Ticket from Charleston to Baltimore for
Fourteen Dollars, meals included.
THE Chesapeake Bay Company, in conjunc
tion with the Wilmington and Petersburg
Rail Road Companies, having reduced their seve
ral fares one-third, from former rates, Travellers
going North, can now reach Baltimore for sl4, and
New York for S2O, by taking the Bay Line of
Boats, arriving at the latter city as early as by any
other Line, and with greater ease and comfort, as
the following Schedule will show.
SCHEDULE.
From Charleston to Baltimore, by the well known
■ route, via Wilmington, Weldon, Petersburg, City
Point, Old Point Comfort, Norfolk, and by the Ches
apeake Bay to Baltimore.
Charleston in one of the Wilmington and
Raleigh Rail Road Company’s splendid Steamers
at quarter past 3 P. M. daily, arriving at Wilming
ton at 7 A. M. next morning.
Leave Wilmington at 9 A. M. by Rail Road for
W’eidon, reach Weldon at 9 P. M. Fare from
Charleston to W’eidon, SB.
Leave W’eidon for Petersburgh, by Rail Road at
10 P. M. reach Petersburg at half past 4 A. M.—
Fare $2, Take Breakfast in Petersburg.
Depart at 6 A. M.. in the beautiful Iron Steam
Boat MOUNT VERNON, Capt. Blow, down the
Appamattox to City Point. Arrive at City Point at
j 8, A. M. Leave City Point immediately, on
board of the CURTIS PECK, Capt. Davis; or
i ALICE, Capt. Brough; (two of the swiftest and
most comfortable River Boats, that run on the
Southern.waters) for Norfolk, arriving at Norfolk
by 2;J. P. M. Dining on board of boat at 10 o’clock,
for which no charge is made Leave Norfolk in one
of those popular, comfortable and safe Steam Boats,
with their experienced Captain and crews—
GEORGIA. Capt. Cannon; HERALD, Capt. Bus
sell; or JEWESS, Capt. Sutton; at 3, P. M., and
arrive at Baltimore next morning at 5. A; M. Fare
from Petersburg to Baltimore suppei included, $4.
In the putting forth of the above Schedule,we have
been guided and admonished by the knowledge we
have of what other lines have already suffered in
giving the Traveller false information respecting
their Schedule time, and have, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, made an average time of the
arrival and departure between Charleston and
1 Baltimore, by the Bay Route, for the last two
| months, during which period there has not been a
t single failure, by the Boat, to arrive at Baltimore
! in time to take the Morning Train for Philadelphia
and the several Routes going North, South, East,
i
The Pay Company nave been m eXistanCe up
ward of Twenty Years,and through this long period,
their Boats, built expressliy for the route, have suc
cessfully run without loss of Life or Property—
this fact alone should, and we believe will, be satis
factory to the Travelling Public, that the Chesa-
Ceak Bay Route is one of the safest in the whole
hiion.
We were prepared and fully expected to meet
with strong opposition from the Monopoly Line, but
had hoped that the warfare would have been con
ducted in a business like and honorable way, and
that their Cards would have contained none of that
j misrepresentation and false inuemloes with which
they are tided against the Bay Line. However, w r e
care not, knowing that we have the cheapest and
most pleasnnt route; pledging ourvelves to convey
the travelling public by our schelduie,we are willing
to abide the issue and leave the result to their
choice.
Any further information will be cheerfully given
and tickets can be had, by application to the under
signed at the Charleston Hotel.

—Citizens of the United States, with pleasure I
inform you of the great success of Humphreys’ Fe
ver and Ague Pills, throughout Georgia, Soutl
Carolina, Florida, Tennessee,&c. Up to the Bti
of the present month I have had four hundred and
. eighty-three cases of this distressing complaint, and
out of this large number I have failed only in foui
cases, and I can safely say the failure is on theii
own side, and not mine. This medicine is now
found in all parts of this and the adjoining States
where it is recommended by the most respectable
families, and the best recommendation is, it is prov
ing itself to be an infallible remedy for Fever and
Ague. It is my own discovery, and is one of the
best medicines ever invented for this dreadful dis
ease—curing in twelve hours. Prepared and sold
