(by an officer of the army.]
The deaih of Capt. John Pane, late of
the 4lh Regiment of U. vS. Infantry, on
the steamboat Missouri, while on his way
from New Orleans to St. Louis, has been
anno.meed in almost all the newspapers
of the United Slate s, but justice to his me
mory requires that at least a brief ac
count of bis public services and private
virtues should be «dven to his country, to
whose service bis youth and manhood i
were devoted, and finally upon whose al
tar he offered his life.
Capt. Pago entered the army as a Se- i
cond Lieutenant in the old Bth Regiment i
of Infantry on the 13th February, 1818
was promoted to the grade of First
Lieutenant on the Ist January, 1819
and received the full commission of Cap
tain in the line on the 3lHh April, 1631.
lie was for many years actively em
ployed in the Subsistence Department in
Florida, and for a long period al>o filled
the post of Assistant Quarter Master, be
ing the active officer of that department
in the original establishment of Port
Brooke, Tampa Ray, in 1834.
In August, 1832, he was appointed, by
the direction of President Jackson, emi
grating and disbursing agent in the re
moval of the Choctaw Indians to: lie coun
try West ofllie Mississippi river, assigned ;
us the future homes of the various Indian j
tribes, and was entrusted successively j
with the emigration of the Creeks, Che- j
jokees and Chickasaws.
The policy of removing the Indian j
tribes from contact with the whites, was !
deemed essential to the internal peace of
the States within whose limits they re
st led, and it was a delicate an I difficult |
ta-vk, even after the Indians had pledged
themselves by treaty with the general go
vernment to emigrate, to execute.
Their attachment to their native woods
next to revenge, the strongest feeling in an
Indian’s breast—the distrust with which
they looked upon the whites—their faith
lessness in the observance of treaty slip-
to he neutralized and com
batted. Thy zeal, intelligence, and fi
delity of Capt. Page, after incredible la
boron his pait, accomplished the object
wiihont bloodshed.
During his employment on this duty
he disbursed millions of public money
with the most scrupulous regard to tlie
faith of the government and justice to the
Indians. lie enjoyed to the fullest ex
tent the confidence of the Department in
bis connexion w ith the Indian tribes, and
by the Indians themselves was beloved.
On the breaking out of hostilities in
Florida, Capt. Page w is in Washington,
and being pressed by Gen. Scon to ac
com) any him on his staff, was, at an ear
ly day, engaged in the long and sangui
nary contest with the Seminole Indians.
He served in Florida at different periods
during the continuance of the war with
untiring zeal. In 1841, Mr. Poinsett,
then Secretary of War, despairing of
closing the war in Florida by the usual
process of hostile operations, determined
to try the friendly offices of a delegation
of the emigrated Seminoles, and, with
this view, selected Capt. Page, from his
knowledge of Indian character, and con
sequent filnes.s for the enterprise, to pro
ceed to the Seminole country. West of
Fort Gibson, and prevail upon as many
of the most influential men of the nation
as in his judgment might he necessary, to
aid in the pacification of their hostile
brethren. He succeeded; and with his
friendly delegation repaired to the sea! of
war and reported to Gen. Armistead.—
With this delegation he operated, and, in
a very short time, brought about the sur
renderof several hundred of the Indians.
He left Florida in May, 1641, with
Gen. Armistead, but returned early in
the fall of the same year and remained in
the field, on duty with his regiment, until
the termination of the war by General
Worth, in 1842. Ilis regiment was then
relieved from duty in Florida, and he ac
companied it to Jefferson Rarracks, Mo.,
where he was permitted to repose for a
time, blessed with the society of his w ife
and children. Rut this period of happi
ness was brief, and the last he enjoyed on
earth. In May, 1844, las regiment was
ordered to Natchitoches, La., being an
element of the force destined tor the fron
tier of Texas, pending the proposition to
annex that Republic, as a Stale, to the
! Ameiican Union.
In this movement Capt. Page accom
panied his regiment. In July, 1845. cir
placed him temporarily at its
head, and he conducted it to the shores of
St. J oseph’s Island and Corpus Christ! -
the>e almost unknown regions; since
which time lie has maintained his posi
tion as a soldier in ihe field, exposed to
the hardships, privations and diseases in
cident to the serv ice and climate, resisting
l the appeals offamily and friends, though
I for some lime disabled for duly by illness
and devoting himself to the last moment
j to i lie ca lis of the service and his country.
That devotion he sealed with his life
He fell nobly in the memorable action of
| Palo Alto, on the Bih of May last, while
| commanding the leading division of his
regiment in support of ihe battery of 18
pound?rs. Ilis regiment, for some time,
was exposed to a most galling sue from
the Mexican artillery, a shot Lem which
struck Capt. Page on the face, carrying
away the whole of the lower jaw. lie
I was removed from the field, and under
the hands of the surgeon displayed unex
ampled patience and fortitude.
The day after I lie battle he was sent to
Point Isabel, where he endured extreme
; suffering for nearly two months, during
which lie was never heard to complain,
I hut was cheerful, and manifested at all
times, though he could not speak, the com- ,
1 panionable and social qualities which,
i with ids proverbial goodness of heart, on- j
1 cleared him through life to all who knew j
j him.
About the last of June his wound had i
! so far healed as to enable him to take j
| passage on a steamship for New Orleans, j
! A few days after his departure his wife, |
who, impelled by the pu rest affection and
a devotion to her husband that overcame
every obstacle, had left her home in
Delaware alone and traveled several
thousand miles to minister to his comfort,
arrived at Point Isabel: Her disappoint
ment at not meeting him was borne, not
without grief, hut with a firmness as un
precedented as it was admirable. She
returned immediately to New Orleans,
and there found her wounded husband
prostrated and rapidly sinking under the
long and extreme suffering lie had en
dured. They left New Orleans on the
steamboat Missouri, for St. Louis, hut
the lieioic sufferer was doomed to expire
i before reaching their destination, and on
| the 12th of’July, 1846, near Cairo, he
j quietly gave up his spirit, consoled in his
j last moments by the tender care of his de
| voted wife. His remains wore taken to
j Jefferson Rarracks and interred with the
I honors of war, escorted to the grave by
Col. Baker’s regiment of Illinois volun
teers.
j Capt. Page was a native of Friburg, in
the State of Maine, and was born on the
4th February, 1797.
He lived beloved and died lamented
by all who knew him. R** T ***.
The First Bale of Cation. —ln the
Charleston City Gazette, of April 12,
1788, we find a notice of the first bale of
cotton produced in the United States. It
is curious fiom the fact that the editor
seems to have anticipated, on an humble
scale perhaps, but still correctly, the ini
pcrlance of the culture. We therefore
copy it:
“A correspondent has favored us with
the following information, which he tells
jns may he relied on: A gentleman in
! Christ Chu ch Parish, planted one acre
I of land with cot on seed, which has pro
| ducod a hag of cotton wool weighing 257
: lbs. nett; this he has sold at 15 i ence per
i pound, so that ho got for the whole 16/.
i 13s 91; it was on examination of an ex
; eroding goo I quality; the planter declares
| that hail he attended it properly it would
' have produced more, lie further says
! that one of his hands could with ease take
i care of seven or eight acres, until the cot
| ton is ready to take in, at which time he
! must have the assistance of small negroes
jto pick and carry it into safety. As the
mode of cleaning it in this country for.
! rnerly is what the planters dislike, we
i have ihe pleasce to add that there aie
persons in this State who can make the
necessary machines for picking it as well
as for carding and spinning it. This com
modity bids fair to become a principal
staple article of export from this State;
; for if one negro can manage seven acres
1 of cotton, and it sells at the above price
| onlv, his labor will bring his owner in
116/. 16<. 3d. per annum, supposing also
| that each acre of land produces only 276
lbs. of cotion. It is well known that the
j cotton manufactories in Great Britain will
I take any quantity that the Stale can raise,
j as thev are deemed by good judges to he
now onlv in their infancy. Land that is
unfit for rice or corn will yield cotton; as
i negroes in raising this article will have
no occasion to wet their feet, they will of
course he more healthy, and will live
longer than they do by raising rice in
swamps. Besides w hich, as they will he
able to earn so much money by the culti
j vation of it, the planters will then raise
the value of every negro now in this
| State.”

' clergy is said to consist in neglecting to de
i nounce in the most pointed terms the sin
of cheating printers.
[Correspondence of the S. O. Delta.]
Camp Camargo, Aug. 22. 1846.
Dear Delta —1 arrived yesterday
I morning in the steamboat Hatcher Eagle
—an excellent vessel, commanded by
I Geo, S. Stephens. Alter having visited :
Camargo and its environs, I had ihe honor 1
to lie introduced to Gen. Z. Taylor, by
Coi. VVliiteing. U. S. Q. M. General,anti I
; found the gallant old chief.aiii in most ex- !
cellenl health and spirits. When dinner |
• w as over—and hv the l»ye, it was a repast I
i ’hat would have done honor to the cuisine \
' of the St. Charles Hotel—in the piesence !
of Gen. Tavlor, Maj. Gen. Butler, (Luis, j
j Quitman and Shields, Gen. Twiggs, Maj. |
i Riiss, Capts, May. Garland, and many ;
oilier distinguished officers ot the army, I
j presented the medals to the Commander- j
! in-Chief, wi;ii the following remarks:
Mr. Feeder —General, in behalf of the !
| committee appointed hv citizens of New i
i Orleans, 1 have the honor to be the hearer
| of the golden medals presented by them
I to the several brave though humble non- I
commissioned officers under your com- i
| rnand, whose acts of courage during the
! late battles iiave been so highly applauded, j
i And believe me, General, whilst thus j
j making, through me, this presentation to ’
' the subalterns, whom you have so nobly j
led and so wisely advised, the citizens of \
New Orleans neither forget the splendid
military talent that planned, the courage I
i that achieved, nor the modesty that an- j
! nounced the success of the two late bril- i
! Hunt battles—the battles of Palo Aim
! and Resaca de la Palma. General, I 1
j have the honor to be your most obedient |
I servant.
Gen. Taylor. —Mr. Reeder, it is with 1
1 unfeigned pteasute that I receive the
| medals which you now present to me for
the subalterns under my command. The
acts of brave men, no matter how humble
their station, should always he rewarded,
and to me the presentation of these mag
nificent medals has an additional zest
when 1 reflect that they are symbols of
honor given hv the citizens of New Or-
O
leans to those under my command, to j
whom they have been so justly awarded.
To New Orleans,sir, I am much indebted
—she was one ot the first w ho responded
toher country’s call, and the gallantry
of her citizens I shall ever remember.
A' r ain, sir, allow me to thank you and
those you represent for the honor you
have conferred on me and those to whom
the medals have been presented.
Such, dear Delta, as truthfully as my
poor ear could daguerreotype, were the |
words of one of the ablest ot our military
chieftains. Without ostentation he is the
very soul ot bravery, he commands (lie
respect of his officers and men by strict
ness of discipline mingled with urbanity
of character. Hts late glorious success is
his eulogium.
During the afternoon of the day of the
above date, I was informed that two of 1
the persons to whom medals had been j
awarded were in camp, and I had the
pleasure of meeting with Sergont Major
Malonev and Corporal Farrell, and pre
senting them with their medals in person.
'Hie following letter from Sergeant Ma
loney w ill best show the spirit in which
the presetation was received.

Gentlemen , — If, in attempting to retain
my thanks for the beautiful token ot your
approbation with which 1 liave been hon
ored, words and expression should fail
me, your kindness will certainly pardon
such deficiency in one to whom the camp ;
i lias left little leisure for the school; and |
I however imperfectly my feelings may be j
j conveyed, yon will not doubt the dep h ;
I and sinceiity of the gratitude which i
swells rnv heart, in thus acknowledging !
the reception of ihe sj lendid medal pre
s ned by citizens of New 0> leans. So
far us the earnest desire and effort to do
mv dntv, to sustain the honor of the g!o
nous flag beneath which 1 have served j
so long, can give me any claim to the ;
compliment you have bestowed, in so far |
1 can feel it not wholly undeserved. A
country where citizens are thus prompt |
io acknowledge, and generous to reward, j
the slightest merit even in the humblest i
s ation, can never lack defenders ani- j
mated bv all ardor that gratitude and i
•Gory liave power to awaken. To you, |
g- ndemon of the commi tee, and through
I \ou to the i itizens you represent, I return
| my heartfelt thanks, with the servant
hope that the future will enable me to
show, by something more than words, my
deep sense of vour kindness —my resolve
to deserve it. To Mr. George W. Reeder,
from w hose hands this superb medal was
, received, 1 Leg also to offer the warmest
1 thanks, alone for the feeling which has
i prompted him to along and tedious jour
! ney; and for the eloquent and flattering
I terms in which the presentation was
| made.

! MINOR MORALS OF THE MEXICANS. |
[Special Corrtsjwjidence of Ike Picayune.]
Camargo, August 26, 1843.
Editors rs the Picayune:
I liave been walking about town this
: evenin'.', looking at the Mexicans as they
; were tip their chores” for the
night. A liule back from the plaza, the
; streets were filled with herds ot goats
: and sheep. 4’hey herd these two useful
! animals together, and they seem so much
1 attached to each other, that ‘‘separating
: the sheep from the goals” would he as \
| ha d Y\nrk in Mexico as drawing a cor
i reel dividing line between the Indian and
| Castilian races. These Mexicans are a
| primitive people in their habits. They
| plough their fields with crooked sticks
| drawn by oxen, wiih sticks for yokes, j
i lashed to their horns. They grind their |
I corn and mix the dough both in one ope
ration, ihe only instance in which they
j go ahead of the Americans, and hake i
| and eat it, all at one sitting. The idea of
‘ si'ting down before a dish of w hole corn,
I and carrying away a portion of it in my
j stomach, on rising, was novel to me, but I
; 1 have frequently done it here. At sun- |
i down the women turn out with their |
i earthen ja rs, to bring drinking water from
the river, and the streets are filled with i
them. I arn told by some of my baclio- j
j lor friends, on whose taste 1 can rely, |
I that there is always “a right smart sprink- 1
I linu” of pretty feet and ankles displayed \
1 on such occasions, but not being a judge j
j of such matters, my attention is always i
! directed to the jars, which are primitive |
I enough, and remind me of the women j
' mentioned in sacred history—of Rebec
ca, etc. From sunrise until 10 o’clock :
in the morning the water’s edge is lined i
witli females washing clothes. About 8 I
o’clock, A. M., the water contains a great j
many of them ofal! ages, bathing. This j
morning I rose very early in order to go I
r? w J • j
down and bathe before the senoras and i
senoritas were out. After selecting an
obscure place, I plunged in, and was en- i
| joying the refreshing element, when I i
i heard female voices descending the steep j
bank to the very nook I had chosen!— j
There was no escape, for there was no i
other landing place in a hundred yards;
my clothes were on shore, and might be
carried off; there was a strong eddy to
pass; I was caught! An empty barrel was
fastened bv a siring to the shore, and I 1
retreated behind this floating bulwark, 1
merely peeping over, to see who was com- I
j ing. A young “lady,” about eighteen, i
| with two small gills, descended 'o the
water’s edge, within six feet of me, and ;
looked at my clothes. “ Vestidos, Amcri- \
canos. ru said one of the little girls, point- j
ing to my clothes. 1 raised my head |
suddenly above the barrel, hoping to i
frighten them away, hut to my surprise
the fair senorita, insiead of being startled
very politely bid me ‘• buenos dias ,” and
| all hands began to show unmistakable
i signs of joining me in rny aquatic exer
cise. This rendered me desperate, and
forgetting every thing like gallantry, I
sang out “ Vamos r vavios /” at them, hut
they only laughed at my poor eflbrt at
Spanish, and went on with their prepara
tions. The only way in which I could
gi t rid of them was by spattering thr’m
with water and mud, and crying “Ta.
mos.” Instances of th s kind occur here
every day. 11. |

' A MEXICAN WEDDING.
| In one ot tlie letters ot uur correspond- 1
ent “U.” says the N. O. Picayune, lie
j gives a description of a wedding which j
lie attended at Camargo. It is a curious j
i iiiusTation ot the maimers ami customs ;
of tiie Mexicans. The letter hears dale
Camargo, Aug. 11, 1846.
A Mexican wedding is to come off in
the church to morrow night at 1 o’clock. ;
and I am going to f irm one of the party. .
1 Ins getting married, at “the solemn I
hour ot midnight.” is a new idea tome,
an I I would not miss the scene for any ,
consideration. Will they invite one to j
kiss the bride, I wonder? And if invited. ’
might a fellow to profit I»v the privilege?
B it we will see the bride before we de- j
cide these momentous questions.
Capt. Miles, on being informed of the
| wish of the party to hold the wedding to
night extended to them every facility for
going through with the ceremony unmo- j
i lestecl. Had received information a little |
earlier, he would have furnished them j
; music, so that a regular ball would have ;
taken place.
■Aug. 12.—1 attended the wedding last j
night, and shall never regret it, though it ;
is rather hard to bo roused from a sound j
slumber at 1 o’clock at night. At half- |
past one we entered the church, where |
the padre and his assistants were already ;
robed lor the ceremony. These assist- ;
ants consisted of elderly Mexicans and j
j four boys, the latter being three-fourths j
| Indian. 'Phe altar was lighted up with ;
! long wax caudles, set in massive silver I
i candle-slicks, and candles were also burn- ;
| ing in the vicinity of the large wax i
i figures in other parts of the building. |
The bridegroom soon made his appear- |
1 ance with the bride, attended by brides- j
' maid and groomsman.
The bridesmaid, a beautiful little wo- j
man, was dressed in black—a prettier i
figure I never looked at. The bride, a 1
tall, awkward, plain-looking woman of j
twenty-three, was dressed in dark figured j
stuff. The I iridegroom, a short, stumpy j
fellow, about 30 \ears old, with an uilly i
visage, had on white pants and a blue j
roundabout. He looked confused, and j
tt ok very little notice of the bride; in !
fact, he acted like a man who fell that lie |
w as getting himself into a disagreeable !
situation. The first part of the ceremony !
was similar to that observed in Louisiana, j
J’be hands were joined, ring placed upon ;
the finger, etc. The parties then knelt i
; before the altar, and one end of a beauti- j
i ful silk reboso was thrown over the bride’s j
head, the other end falling about the
: shoulders of the bridegroom. A silk
C 8
cord, about the size of the little finger,
i with a regular hangman’s noose, was then
slipped over the head of each, yoking
: them together hard and fast. They re
mained in this position, holding long
lighted candles in their hands, for nearly
an hour. The bride became wearied,
and leaned a little on the rope, hut not
hard enough to choice the lovely husband.
Phe padre was in the meantime engaged
in prayer, and one of the hoys rang a lit
tle silver hell occasionally, to wake up
the little audience of twenty or thirty, who
crossed the nselves, and then relapsed
into their former state of stupidity. AH
hands retired from the church and scal
te ed to their homes.
| Old Horses. A paragraph is going

! to the of some horses, which are con

Presidential Humor. —At the Presi
dent’s levee, a few evenings since, Col.
Morse yy ho had just returned from a din
j ner party paid his respects to the Presi
j dent in his usual open, bland, and rather
| Western manner, and inquired of his ex-
I cellency, ‘the news of the day.* The 1
President, with whom Mr. Morse is a ;
| great favorite, good naturedly remarked
j that ‘he had nothing particular, save that
I he had been called upon by Mr. Paken
< ham, who foimally and diplomatically
presented him an autographical letter
from Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, an
: pouncing the birth of her fifth child.—
The honorable Mr, Morse, with a lace '
as grave as Father Miller, and a voice \
equally stentorian, made the very signi- I
j ficant inquiry, ‘when does your Excellen- 1
| cy intend to reciprocate the compliment?’ I
i The reply cf the President was, ‘he did
I not know, as he was fearful that Mr. Me- (
Kay would not consent to the necessary <
