hbb—a—w tunas. 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. - . .

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. Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail by A- B. A D.

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.

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.
