tain him, Gen. Houston may certainly be ex- 1 pcctcd at the meeting. The Democratic can- , didates for Electors will of course be there, and so will a host of others, to whose voices the people ever listen with delight. It is the great Democratic quadrennial ju bilee. Let ail who can, participate in its fes tivities. In 1844, the great Mass Meeting at Macon imparted confidence to the party, and was greatly instrumental in the glorious tri umph that followed. Let the Democracy then assemble on the loth of August, and as their principles are unchanged, with wisdom in counsel and prudence and energy in action, they may confidently expect that those prin ciples will be as enduring in Georgia as is that granite rock on whose summit they may listen to their able, faithful and eloquent ex position. Democrats of Georgia,not merely in platoons and companies, but in regiments and brigades, be at the jubilee. Congress. In the Senate, on Saturday, a long debate took place on the territorial bill. Mr. Baldwin moved to strike out all after the 20th section, thus making the bill apply only to Oregon. The motion was rejected—yeas 17, nays 37. j A motion of Mr. Bell, to adjourn, was carried —yeas 29, nays 22. In the House, Mr. Cobb’s motion to recon sider the engrossment of the Civil Diplomatic Bill was laid on the table, 99 to 88 ; and the | Bill was passed, 10S to 70, including the Sa vannah river appropriation. Mr. Vinton moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was | passed, and pending debate on his motion, the i House adjourned. 'J he Foreign News is considered commer cially good in New York. Commercial letters by the steamer Hibernia give a more favorable account of business affairs than for some time. The Milledgeville Federal Union says—“ It has been currently reported here and else where, of course upon Whig authority, that the Hon. Levi S. D'Lyon, of Chatham, and Gen. Mark Wilcox, ot Telfair, were both ad vocates of Gen. Taylor’s election. We are au thorized, in relation to these gentlemen, to say that there is not a particle of truth in these reports. They are both what they ever have been—Democrats, and will do all they can for I Cass and Butler.” [ From the N. O. Delta, 20 th From the Rio Grande Yesterday evening wc received Matamoros papers to the 13th inst. from which we gather the following intelligence. The Flag of the 9th has the following in re ference to the expedition to California and .Santa Fe, New Mexico. We have seen a copy of the order of Gen. Wool, relative to the organization of this ex pedition, of which Lieut. Col. Washington is to have command. It will be composed of five companies of dragoons, each seventy strong, and one company of light artillery, one hun dred strong. Two of the companies of dra goons are now at Camargo, and three compa nies at Monterey, with the company of artille ry. Brcv. Maj. Graham will command the dragoons. Capt. K. K. Kane, assistant quar termaster, and Asst. Surgeon Booth, now here serving with the 10th Infantry, arc under or- i ders to proceed with the expedition. We are ! informed the troops will march from Monte- : rev by the way of Monclova and Chihuahua, to some point near the Passo del Norte, from i whence one company of dragoons and the ar- | tillery company will proceed to Santa Fe, and j four companies ot dragoons march to Monte rey, California. Capt. Kane is now in Camar go, actively engaged iu preparing a train of , wagons and the necessary supplies. He has orders to select as many of the best wagons i and teams, belonging to the United States, as j may be necessary, and will have every thing \ supplied in the best manner. The train will ! probably exceed three hundred wagons. Cap tain Kane is one of the most energetic and ser viceable officers in the service, and will have \ every thing about him properly arranged. The best horses have been selected out of those be longing to the 3d Dragoons, to replace such as ! may not be considered first rate, in the com panies about to march. The train will leave Camargo about the cud of the present month, and the whole expedition take its departure from Monterey about the 10th of August.— We understand a number of citizens intending to establish themselves iu New Mexico and California will go under protection of the ex pedition. To men of enterprise and fond of adventure, this expedition offers inducements but seldom afforded, and both New Mexico and California will receive an accession to their population. The 10th Infantry, Col. Temple, we learn from the Flag, was to break up camp on the morning of the 9 th, and embark for the Brazos, there to take ship for Governor’s Island, New York harbor, where it will be mustered out of service. The Flag says: This regiment, ora portion of it, has consti tuted the garrison of Matamoros for upwards of a year, and wc feel that the whole popula tion of the city agree with us in according it the praise of having been the most orderly and best disciplined regiment that lias been here during the war. We learn from the Flag that Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar arrived in Matamoros on the 6th, from Laredo. Ou the 7th inst., some twelve or fifteen Mexicans, employed by the Quartermaster as laborers at the new dept above Fort Brown, entered a small bout or yawl on the Matamoros side of the river, and in making the crossing, the boat got entangled in the ferry rope and capsized, precipitating all on board into the river. Boats were immediately sent to the ite-cue, but before they arrived three of the number had drowned. The others succeeded in swimming ashore. In reference to Capt. Gee’s company of Al abama Cavalry, which arrived here yesterday in the steamboat E. A. Ogden, the Flag says; The Alabamians leave for home to-morrow, and we must bear testimony to tlic friends whom they will soon meet, that well and nobly has Capt. Gee’s company sustained the honor of Alabama, and their own character as Am erican citizen soldiers. As for Capt. Gee, in dividually, he has won the respect and esteem of every citizen in Matamoros, and the best w ishes of all will attend him home. We copy the following from the Flag, for the especial information of our friends Barnum and the illustrious Gea. Tom Thumb: (ten. Tom Thumb Nowhere . —Upon several occasions we have informed the world, through the medium of our little, newspaper, that Mexico was prolific of wonders—of every thing curious in Natural Philosophy. We have told the aforesaid public all about the horned hog, the horned lizard, the mule-footed hog, the half-cat-half-dog affair —but the most singular freak which nature has perpetrated iu this curious country, is developed in a female Mexican dwarf, a description of which we have been furnished by Capt. Gee, of the Alabama Cavalry. Capt. G. states that, hearing of this f dwarf, he was induced by curiosity to visit the residence of her father, about 15 miles from this city, where he saw the girl, and describes her as being fifteen years of age, 25 inches high, symmetrically proportioned, and weighs only 18 lbs. She has always enjoyed good health, is lively, intelligent, and in all re.speets a well-developed woman, except in size. She is the nineteenth child of the parents, and there are three younger than herself; all the family, with the one exception,being ordinarily sized. Now, this pigmy female, possessed as she is of all the endowments of a woman, should be annexed to Gen. Tom Thumb. The two exhibited together, would procure for the ranchero father and his fruitful spouse a more bulky fortune than ever groaned iu the purse of a Girard or Astor. The Flag of the 13th says : “We under stand that the best portion of the mules and horses belonging to the quartermaster’s de partment on this line, are to be sent through ;by land to Louisiana. One portion of them i will be collected at Camargo, and pass through San Antonio, escorted by Gen. Lamar’s com pany now at Laredo. The other portion will : be herded in this vicinity, and be driven through by the lower route. This course, it is thought, is preferable to sacrificing them here, as some thousands of dollars will thus be saved to the government.” The same paper says, “ Matamoras has in a great measure assumed the appearance that it presented some two years ago. The last of j the troops left the city yesterday, leaving be hind them only a lew’ officers of our govern ment, who will remain until quarters are pre pared for them ou the opposite side of the river. The city is quiet and orderly ; appa rently the best feeling existing between the i people of the two nations.’ ’ We learn from the Flag that the steamboat Laura sprung a leak, and sunk iu about fifteen j feet water, while laying at anchor off the j mouth of Rio Grande Bar, ou the night of the j 7th inst. The flag says ; She started from tire Brazos on that day, j loaded with lumber for the Mouth, and after ! several unsuccessful attempts to cross the bar drew off to an anchor, when it was discovered that she had thumped a hole in her bottom— but before steam could be made sufficient to I run her into shoal water, she went down. On | Saturday morning, she was hauled by the steamer Col. Hunt into about seven feet water, when she was relieved of her load, but all ef forts to save her proved unavailing, and she has since gone to pieces. She was owned by i O’Donahue and Capt. Brown, her enterprising commander, who had all his capital invested in her, and together with the crew, lost all his clothing, furniture, &c. Major General Kearney. —This chival rous and distinguished officer has been in our city for several days. He is truly a noble looking soldier, whose person and manner in dicate the hero, the commander, and the true gentleman, which he has ever proved. His services in this war hare been of unsurpassed brilliancy and efficiency. He is the only gene ral officer who was able to complete the duty assigned him in his own proper sphere of mili tary operations, iu time to participate in the labor of occupying and organizing the con quests of our other Generals. For his ser vices he has received from his government the highest military honor it can bestow, that of Brevet Major General. We trust lie may long live to enjoy the admiration and applause 1 of his countrymen, and to give tone and dis tinction to the profession of wliiclx lie la the pride and ornament. — lb. Arrival or Maj. Gen. Worth. —At an early hour this morning, the steamship Ala bama, Capt. Baker, arrived from Vera Cruz, bringing Maj. Gen. Worth, and the following i officers and troops : Col.

I The Alabama reports that the other regi ments of the Ist Division had been embarked, ! and are now ou their way to their respective ! destinations, to wit: 2d and 3d Artillery sailed on the loth for the North, direct; 4th Infantry, on the 16th, for Pass Chistian ; sth Infantry, probably on the 16th, same destina i tiou ; Bth Infantry, do., Jefferson Barracks, ! via New' Orleans. There remained at Vera | Cruz, to be embarked, the garrison, consisting of one horse battery, five troops cavalry, and | the Ist Artillery. It was believed that the public propertyAvould be withdrawn and the final evacuation take place on or before the first of August. The steamers Palmetto and New Orleans arrived on the 15th. The Great Western was i nearly ready to leave. — lb. 1 j The U. S. steamship Virginia, Capt. Spin ney, five days from Vera Cruz, arrived yester day with troops. She brought up 300 men be longing to Companies D, 11, and K, I. S. Vol tigeur Regiment, and the following passen gers: Lieut. Col. J. E. Johnston, Surgeon J. W. Tyler, Capts. M. J. Barnard and J. C.

Dep’t.; Caleb Smith; John Smith, lady and five chil dren, Mrs. McCorneski', niece and child. Privates Geo. Schan and Andrew L. Clover, Co. D. U. S. Volt. Reg’t, died on the passage. Steamboat B. A. Ogden arrived yesterday j from the Brazos, with one Company Alabama Cavalry, (74 men,) under the command of Capt. Gee, and Lieuts. Henry, R. T. Malone, and D. A. Malone, 87 discharged soldiers and Quartermaster’s men; also, Lieut. Vanderlin gcr, of the Texas Rangers, and Mr. Miller and ladv. j C.u’i. Gxuldex. — The remains of this es teemed and much lamented officer were re ceived at this place ou Tuesday last, by the City Authorities, Volunteer Companies, and a large concourse of citizens, and were placed in the Council Chamber, where they remained during the night. On Wednesday morning they were taken by Ills friends, and escorted by a deputation of five members from each of our volunteer companies to Lumpkin, Stewart county, where he resided previous to his de parture for Mexico. Capt. Gauldeu was well known in this city, where lie had many friends who deeply regret his untimely and cruel death. It is some consolation, however, to know' that his companions in arms avenged his death on the spot where he was assassinated. — Columbus Enquirer.

READ THE CERTIFICATE. BOSTON, May 24th, 1847. 1 Mr. Skth W Fowle. Dear Sir—There are so many quack medicines | at the present time, and each one has more or less certificate from real or imaginary individuals, that I have tor some time had doubts of the propriety of giving any testimony in favor of your medicine, of being assured that 1 have been beuefisted by its use, and feeling satisfied that by giving in my testimony in regard to its medicinal qualities I 1 may, perhaps, be the means of saving some one j similarity atllicted, J therefore cheerfully add j my testimony in favor of the medicine that I know has done 111 c great good. I have been afHicted with the Bronchities for a number of years, and by the use of a couple of bottles of niSTAR'SBALSAM OF WILD CHERR Y, 1 I am happy to say that I am almost free from the above troublesome disease. If this should be the means of saving even one of my fellow beings from that most troublesome and painful disease, (Bronchitis) 1 shall be fully i paid for my trouble in writing the above corn- j munication.
