MORE “HASTY SOUP.”
“I want a hero —no uncommon want.”
He fore the echo of the nuns at Palo Alto
mul llesaca fie la Palma has fairly died
away, we find a few very ambitious poli
ticians of the Whig party bringing for
ward the name of Gen. Taylor as a candi
date for the Presidency. But for the
in-dives of these anxious office-seekers,
which are so transparent that the dullest
eye can see through them, one might sup
pose that out of great kindness to (Jen.
Scott they had consented to allow the tide
of ridicule to he turned from him upon
themselves. If we do not mistake the
character of (Jen. Taylor he will himself
intimate to these officious gentlemen that
they are taking a very “hasty plate of
soup,” and will kick their dish over with
out much ceremony.
Gen. Tavlor is and always has been a
soldier, and a good one. Ilis whole at
tention has been given to the army, und
the duties to he performed by the military
arm of the Government; and by Ids brave
ry and good conduct he has won imper
ishable honors, and stands at flu’s moment
foremost among the warriors of this great
Republic, livery tongue speaks in his
praise, and his fame as a General is based
upon no divided and jarring opinions.
Put once make him a candidate for the
Presidency, and how long will lie enjoy
this unanimously awarded fame? Com
pel him to enter upon a field of labor in
which lie has never had any exi erietice
whatever; take him fiom his saddle, his
gnus and his hattlions, where he is always
u' !i onto, and set him at political corres-
I nder e, at pouring over difficult qnes
ti ns of coif’if itional law. at dividing
offices a.a hungry horde of political
aspi rants,"at -sUtV.lv»ng tariffs, currency,
and all the perplexing and intricate ques
tions which occupy iho minds of sla s
ni' n, and how long would it he before the
hero nl the Rio (I ramie would discover
that he had forsaken the legitimate d. 1 1
ot his fame to plunge into a “hasty ple‘ .
of soup” or something worse? We have
too good an opinion of his common sense
to believe that Ive can he caught in any
such trap by a few designing politicians.
The exampleot his illustrious predecessor,
if nothing else, will he sufficient to deter
him from turning politician at this period
of his life. Pew names in the country
stood higher on the rolls of fame than that
ot Gen. Scott, so long as he was contented
to remain a soldier; but when some
scheming politicians prevailed upon him
to let them use him as a candidate for the
Presidency, and set him to watching po
litical plots and counterplots, the brave
old warrior, who had courageously faced
death in every form, suddenly became in
tensely frightened, imagined himself ex
posed to a “tire in front from the Mexicans
and a fire in the rear fiom Washington,”
and in the midst of the alarm and tre
pidation lie tumbled headlong, epaulctts
and all, into a “hasty plan of soup,” and
effectually dished all his prospects for the
Presidency.
Seriously, however, it appears to us that
this effort to seize upon and nominate Gen.
Taylor, fresh as he is from the battle
fie'd, is about as gross an insult as could
be offered to him. i»y his own courage
and good conduct he has won high honors
as a military leader, and those honors
belong to him. and not to a clique of man
aging politicians. But no sooner is the
roar of his battles heard, than these same
■office seekers, who were hunting for “a
hero,” huzza that they have, found one,
unci proceed to appropriate his laurels auJ
make capital of them for their own selfish
purposes, without even saying “by your
leave.” They have, without doubt, al
ready selecte 1 for themselves the fat
places which they hope to hold under Ids
administration. It is for their own benefit,
not for his, tllfet they thus attempt to take
Jus honors and throw them into the arena
of political strife, to be soiled by the dust
and smoke of u party conflict. We should
have something more to say if we supposed
the General could regard this movement
with any other feeling than disgust and
contempt. But from the evidences which
we have seen of his sound common sense,
we have no doubt that jie will look upon
it as an ungenerous insult, and treat it
accordingly. The Presidency could not
add to his fame—it might dt tract from it.
[From Recollections of Mexico.]
BY WADDY THOMPSON.
CALIFORNIA.
I 'I he inhabitants of California are for
j the most part Indians, a large proportion
l naked savages, who not nnlv have no
sympathies with Mexico, hut liie most de- j
cided antipathy,
Mexico has no troops there, and the
distance of the department prevents any
being sent.
Opt. Suter, who was one of Bona
parte’s officers, and, I believe, is a Swiss,
has for many years had an establishment !
there, and is the real sovereign of the :
country if any one is, certainly so de sac- j
to if not de jure. The government of’
Mexico has done none of these things, ;
such as settlement, extending her laws,
and affording protection, which alone give j
■ lo a civilized people a right to the coun
try of a savage one. As to all these, the
natives of California are as much indebt
ed to any other nation as to Me xicojthey
only know the government of Mexico by I
the exactions and tribute which are le- j
' vied upon them—it is literally a waif, ,
and belongs to lhe first occupant. Cap
, tain Suter has two forts in California, and 1
about two thousand persons, natives und j
Europeans, in his employment, ad of
i them armed and regularly drilled. I have
no doubt that his force would be more i
than a match lor any Mexican force \
which will ever he sent against him. lie
has once or twice been ordered lo deliver
up his forts, and his laconic reply has
been, “Come and take them.”
From all the information which I have !
received, and I have been inquisitive upon 1
the subject, 1 am well satisfied that there i
is not on this Continent any country of
the same extent which combines as many 1
advantages as California. To say noth- .
mg of other harbors in California, that of !
! San Francisco is capacious enough for i
all the navies of the world, and its shores i
are covered with enough timber (a spe- |
I cies of the live oak) to build those navies, j
It man were to ask of God a climate, he
would ask just such an one as that of •
California, if he had ever been there.— i
d'lie re is no portion of our western coun- >
j try which produces all the grains as well; ;
I have been told by more than one per- ;
, son on whom I entirely relied, that they 1
had known whole fields to produce—a
quantity so incredible that I will not
slate it. '{’he whole face of the country j
is covered with the finest oats growing I
wild; sugar, rice, and cotton find their i
own congenial climate. Besides all these j
| the richest mines of gold and silver have \
; been discovered there, and the pearl |
fisheries have always been sources of the !
largest profits; and more than these, there i
I are the markets of India and China with 1
, nothing intervening but the calm and !
j stormless Pacific ocean.
The distance from the head of naviga
tion on the Arkansas and Red rivers to a
navigable point of the waters of the Gulf :
| of California is not more than five or six ;
hundred miles; let tfiat distance he over-
I come by a railroad, and what a vista is
i opened to the prosperity and powerofour j
‘•■'.unlry, I have no doubt that the time j
| will come when New Orleans will he the I
j greatest city in the world. That period
I would ho incalculably hastened by the
measnn which I Tiave indicated, which
i would throw into her lap the vast com
merce of China and of India. Great Bri
tain, with that u'.se and far seeing policy i
for which she U more remarkable than
I any other government, has already the j
; practical possession of most of the ports j
of the Pacific ocean—New Zealand and I
the Sandwich Islands, and very soon the
Society Islands also. We hate a com
merce in that ocean of more than fifty
millions of dollars, and not a s ngie place
of refuge for our ships,
I will not say what is our policy in re
gard to California. Perhaps it is that it
remain in the hands of a weak power like !
Mexico, and that all the maritime powers !
may have the advantage of its ports. But
one thing I will say, that it will be worth :
a war of twenty years to prevent Fng
land acquiring it, which 1 have the best j
reasons for believing she desires to do, |
and just as good reasons for believing :
that she will not do if it costs a war with
thiscountry. 1 should grieve to see that j
country pass into the hands of England, I
or any other of the great powers.
W henever the foreigners in California
make the movement of separation, it must i
succeed. The department of Senora, not
half the distance from Mexico, has been
in a state of revolt for the laH four years,
and the government has been unable to I
suppress it. The civil war there has ;
been marked by acts of horrible atrocity,
which are almost without precedent in
any country, ft is true that they do not
eat the flesh of their but they
leave them hanging on the trees to feast
the birds of prey. There is scarcely a
road in the whole department where such
spectacles are not daily exhibited.
The amount of the specie annually ob
tained from Mexico is more than half as
great as that which is kept at one time in
tiie bank of England. The stoppage of
this supply would very much derange the
whole monetary system of England; on
this account, it is to be apprehended that
in the event of a war between the United
States and Mexico, that England would
soon be involved in it. If the coast of
Mexicoshould be blockaded, England will
| demand that the line of steam packets to
mu* ftwjML.'Ji-unjrmanwti-a ulmm'i-mb— —gra-c
Vera Cruz should he exempted from its*
operations. These packets, although com
mercial vessels possess a sort of quasi
government character. Tiiis, of course,
our government could not concede ; and
the interruption of the regular supply of
j the precious metals from Mexico would
be most disastrously felt in England.—
Knowing all this, I was well satisfied that
all that we have heard about England
stimulating Mexico todeclare war against
this country was ridiculously absurd.—
; Such a war would injure England more
than either of the belligerents. All her
interests are opposed to it, unless, indeed,
she intended to participate in that war.—
I have the best reasons for saying, that
there is no other power in the world with
which England would not prefer to en
gage in a war; not that she fears us, for
England fears no nation, nor combina
tion of nations, as all her history proves;
hut such a war would be, more than any
other, disastrous to her commercial, man
ufacturing, and all other industrial pur
suits.
A lead’ng member of the Mexican
cabinet once said lo me that he believed
that tlie tendency of things was towards
the annexation of Texas to the U. States,
and that he greatly preferred that result
either to the separate independence of
Texas or any connection or dependence
of Texas upon England; that if Texas j
was an independent power, other depart
ments of Mexico would unite with it either
voluntarily or by conquest, and that if i
there was any connection between Texas I
and England, that English manufactures
and merchandise would be smuggled into
Mexico through Texas to the utter ruin of
the Mexican manufactures and revenue.
In one of my last interviews with Santa
Anna I mentioned this conversation.— :
He said with great vehemence, that he
“would war forever for the reconquest
of Texas, and that if he died in his \
senses his lust words should he an ex
hortation to his countryment never to j
abandon the eflorl to re-conquer the conn- ;
try”; and added, “You, sir, know very
well that to sign a treaty forthealienation ;
of Texas would be the same thing as :
signing the death-warrant of Mexico,” j
and went on to say that “by the same
process we would take one after the j
other of the Mexican provinces until we
had them all.” I could not, in sincerity, i
say that I thought otherwise; hut 1 do not
know that the annexation of Texas will |
hasten that event. That our language !
r-»
and laws are destined to pervade this con- ;
tinent, [ regard as more.certain than any j
other event which is in the future. Our
race has never yet put its foot upon a i
soil which it has not only kept, but has
advanced. I mean not our English an- ;
cestors only, hut that great Teuton race ,
from which we have both descended.

SCRATCHES AT NATURE WITH A FREE
GILLOTT*
THE AMERICAN EAGLE.
(Aquila Rcpudiatrix, Linn. Aigle Coquin, Ruff.)
This unclean bird of the ancients, 1
though classed among the Eagles, seems
in its aspect and peculiarities rather to re
semble the Vulture tribe. It must not,
however, be confounded with the “King
Vulture” of Bewick, as it is a republican
bird. It is distinguished from all others
by being curiously marked with stripes
and stars. Its flight resembles that of the
Kite. Its voracity is something tremen
dous; it preys chiefly on the Oregon ra- :
coon, the Texas opossum,*and the green
snake of California; but it is also ex
tremely fatal to the large species of goose
called the Creditor. Extraordi- j
narius, Linn.; Joli Marin, Buff.,) which 1
it decoys into accompanying it to its own
haunts by an affectation ot honest friend
ship, apparently finding means to per- j
suade the foolish bird that more ample
supplies and thorough security will be
found there! the unfortunate goose, thus
entrapped, is then at once despatched by
its ruthless betrayer.
It is one peculiarity of this Eagle, that
he invariably performs the operation of
plucking his victim, which he does as
neatly as the most accomplished cook. 1
'Phis process has been admirably de- 1
scribed by that excellent natural histo
rian, the late Rev. Sydney Smith, who
was an eye-witness of the capture and
plucking of several Creditor Geese by
the American Eagle, in the manner ex
plained, somewhere in the Slate of Penn
sylvania.
The Eagle is also partial to the flesh of i
negroes, which it will seize with evident
gusto. A singular antipathy is evinced
by this bird to that noble animal, the Bri
tish Lion {Leo Vents Catruleus, Linn.; !
Lion Bonhomme, Buff.) whom, in spite of
his strength and courage, it even contrives
occasionally to dislodge from his own
hunting-grounds, in Oregon, and else
where. This is performed by a number
of the Eagles building their unpleasant
nests in his neighborhood, by which the I
Lion is gradually driven further and fur. |
ther off, till at length he finds himself de
prived of the whole of his accustomed ,
haunt, merely by this “masterly inacii

j vity” on the part of his inferior opponent.
American naturalists affirm that the Ea
-1 gle is constantly seen to “ whip the British
Lion,” though how this can be performed
it seems impossible to explain, and the
statement is commonly classed with the
majority of American assertions.
A sort of alliance has been remarked
; to exist between the Eagle and the Gallic
| Cock {Gallus tolerahilis bonus, Linn.;
Coq assez respectable, Buff.,) owing, pro
bably, to their sharing in the antipathy to
the British animal; hut this is a strange
and unnatural alliance, for the gallant
Cock, with all his faults, is a much more
valuable bird.
Many eminent naturalists, who have
watched the American species now under
discussion, are of opinion that the race is
becoming deteriorated, and losing some
high distinctions which it undoubtedly
possessed; the colors grow dimmer; and it
is expected that (if the deterioration con
liaues) the stars which adorn the wing of
the bird will be all extinguished: the
| stripes on the back, however, are likely
to he greatly multiplied.
[From the Washington Union.]
There are some strange paragraphs
occasionally in some of the papers of New
Orleans. We do not refer to those which
relate to the distinguished general, who
has won the sympathies of her citizens by
his past services and his social relations,
whilst he is a resident of the 'city. We
refer more particularly to the occasional
: ebullitions of the party press. One
would have supposed that, if it could not
praise, it might he content, iuthe midst ot
a war, either lo bo silent, or to find fault
with some show of moderation.
'Lite more rabid portion of the Whig
press is still insulting the good sense of
her citizens by charging the administra
tion with feebleness, when its whole
I course in the war against Mexico seems
distinguished by the vigor of its plans, and
the energy of its movements. The Se
cretary of War is especially taken to
task although his measures are marked
with sagacity «nd force. When the ar
rangements, which he has specially di
rected, are fully understood, even party
spirit itself will not deny him the merit
; he deserves. The “Richmond Enquirer”
remarks that
i “Governor Marcy has occupied and
adorned many offices in the Empire State,
and among them the high and responsible
I posts of Governor and United States Se
; nator. His fine talents and character
| have always commanded a triumphant
popularity, notwithstanding the equality
1 and violence of parties which have gene
rally divided that Slate. The New Or
; leans Courier pays the following high
compliment to Governor Marcy.
j ‘“How well General Marcy deserves
| the foul epithets which have been showered
upon him for not playing second fiddle to |
General Gaines, our whig brethren will
! comprehend, when they are informed that
he too is an old soldier—a man of power.
f,j 1 and finely cultivated intellect—that at
the commencement of the last war he ren
dered valuable services, and exhibited ex.
traordinary intrepidity in attacking and
capturing the enemy’s posts on the St.
Lawience frontier, and that in one of
those affairs he actually seized with his
j own hands and carried safely off the first
British standard that was taken after the
opening of hostilities. From these facts
our whig brethren will perceive that Mr.
Ma rcy is not a mere chamber general,
but that when fie discusses military topics
ho speaks from the hook.”

All those persons who have tried them, have de
cided to keep them their life time, and then hand
■ them down to their children to the third and fourth
generations. Not an individual that has seen them
in use but what pronounces them '‘just the thing.”
1 challenge the world to disprove these state
ments. Now, can as much be said of any other
' Machine ever made? And yet Igo still further;
when required, I will put up the Press on the plan
tation, and if it does not answer the purpose, will
| make no charge.
And again—being well aware that the planters
have but little confidence in new things, from the
, fact that nine out of ten are “ Yankee tricks,” in
tended to deceive, I have been to the trouble and
, expense to fit up an establishment in Macon, with
several Presses, for re-packing Round Bales into
Square, and to show to the planters that the Press is
i just the thing they want. These Presses are now,
and will be kept in daily use, and open to inspec
tion. Now, therefore, to induce the planter to
make an examination, I give below a certificate,
signed by a few bf the many who have very kindly
offered me their names, since I started my Presses
‘ in Macon.
To prevent bad work, and all sort of meddling
I or tampering with the Machines, I have them all
; made under my own direction, and sold at one price.
i All those wishing to give them a trial, will please
give their names to my Agents who call upon them,
i or send them to the Commission House, where
j they wish to go for the Machine, in order that the
j Agent may be prepared for them, otherwise they
i may he delayed in getting a Machine w hen it js
| wanted.

CERTIFICATE.
We, the undersigned, do hereby certify that we
have seen S. W. BULLOCK’S Progressive
Power Presses in use in the City of Macon, and
believe them to be all they are recommended, ami
can say-of them what ran be said of but few things
now-u-duys—these are "no humbug.” We cheerful
-1 ly recommend them to the notice of the planters,
and hope by their universal adoption, to see no
more round bales of Cotton. Signed

COLLETON BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS,
THESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
compound, and are offered to the pub
lic from a principle of benevolence, under the full
est conviction that they will be found a safe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only by some of the most
respectable families in the Slate, who have furnish
ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
fered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
-1 rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
! which accompany each bottle, may be given with
j entire safety to an infant in the month
| If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
: ingly,( which is highly important in stubborn cases,)
they will, soon alter the use of a few bottles, bn
; found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
j vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
; mg the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
appetite, strengthening the chest and voice, reliey
; iug pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
are also most excellent for cholera morbus, habitual
i constipation,sea-sickness,nausea, proceeding from
whatever cause. In cases of general debility, it
! has proved one of the best remedies, and is there
| fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
gentlemen, students, and others of sedentary habits.
Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
i likewise been administered with the happiest effect
| in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
; he found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
i ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other
; than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will
ing to vouch far their efficacy. They were prirua
j rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be
' fore the public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie
! tor lias entered largely into the business—bottles
j are procured having “Colleton Bitters” moulded in
j them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed with an appropriate motto. Price $1 per bottle.

Os the Colleton Bitters— “(purely a Vegetable
I Compound'’ apd which, from the cotifpjence 1 have
I in the character and integrity of the maker and pro
prietor thereof, I verily believe to be true,) 1 en
tertain the most favorable opinion. Several of my
personal friends and acquaintances, long afflicted
with Dyspepsia, have assured me that they have
found these Bitters better than any other medicine
they ever tried, for that distressing disease. And I
take the pleasure further to state that I have witr
nessed the excellency of these Bitters, in nausia,
sick-headache, and bow-el complaint; in this last
particular, I have seen the Colleton repeatedly ami
successfully tested among the children of ray owA
house-hold. No family oughtto be without this
valuable medicine.
