WM. L. MARCH AND GEN. TAYLOR
ONCE MORE.
' In attempting to overthrow General Taylor. t,,e
Secretary ba? overreached himself?the former
gave him and whoever aula and abet* him a*
thorough a thrashing aa he did Santa Ana and
hia Mexican assailants. He has compelled luni to
change hia tactica in a great measure, and now to
plead tender affection and most fatherly care of the
interests ofGeneialTsylot and the veteran heroes
and brave youth of the country, whom he so wan
tmly exposed and sacrificed to further, as he meant,
the ends of hia political ambition. On the 4th of
Fetyuary, at the very time when peril wa* pregnant
in the air in front of General Taylor?whan the sal
lent General and his officers began to snuff the ap
proach of the.hoetile foioea of Santa Ana, and with
hemic determination were resolved to stand by their
country'* flag at all haxarda?conquer or die?the
Union newspaper, no doubt under the instigation of
the War Department?had a long and moat ingenu
ous article, reviewing the Capitulation of Mon'erey,
end cemuriog him severely for want of military sa
gacity in that capitulation?a capitulation ap
proved in the strongest manner both before and
since, by Worth, Jefferson Davia, and others, who,
like thtm, haw shown moat the diapoakion and abi
lity for bold and jojt military movements?while
their accusations, beyond doubt, emanating beyond
doubt from the head of the War Office, were than*
dering in the columns of the Union. Certain mem
bera of Cong res*, under hie influence, repeated them
with the utmost freedom, and to ahow how Ann a
believer he was in their ideas of Gen. Taylor's s?
gaeity?the Secretary leaves him with little over
five thousand men, and advises him to run off or
march off quickly to Monterey and shut himself up
there. The advice was as deficient in military saga
city as it was pitiful Hi ita motive. But the Old hero
would not take advice or tuggestiont; commands
aleoe would control his movements, and| so taking
council of hia own superior sagacity, and acting on
the profoundett military views, he awaited Santa
Ana and his host at Buena Vista, and at once sent
the Mexican boaster flying and the Secretary sneak
ing from hia own contemptible devices to tarnish his |
laurels, or if hia friends will have it so, from the ef
fects of hie awn feebleness and incapacity in this?
by the want of a sound and noble confidence?leav
" ing the general end hia officers and men to gain a
victory which would illuatrate his own name, but
shadow bis own with lasting disgrace.
Had it been otherwise?had he sent the necessary
forces to make vict ry sure and comparatively blood
less, the honor would have redounded as much to
himself as to General Taylor and his companies.?
Had he sent but twe thousan 1 men more, what a
difference it would have made to the. country, to
himself, to the American people, who now mourn
the death of many a valiant son'?untimely fallen by
the wretched management of our Frederick of the
War Department.
~ The Secretary said himself in hia repor t to Con
gress, Dec. 1846?' The volunteers who have en
countered the enemy in the present campaign have
more than justified the ^high jr ij>ec tationb formed
True?and had he sent to General Taylor even
two thousand more of them, 1 very believe General
Scott would have met little or no resistance at Cerro
Gordo
THE MEXICAN WAR.
Policy of the. .idmiutitration revealed in part by
the lute Mr. Droingoolc.
The following extract from the late Mr.
DromgooleV address-to his constituents, dated
Washington, February 8, 1847, reveals in part
, the Mexican war policy of the Administration
That extraordinary man speaks the true issue
in this extraot; and, if he had added, that the
Administration never intends to let the Mexi
cans make peace at all, he would have disclosed
? the whole war policy of Mr. Polk.
" In my humble judgment, the most expe
?. diuous and most certain mode of terminating
i. the war is, by an overwhelming force to sub
due the enemy and conquer their country. And
if the infatuated Mexicans will still resist a
/ pacification upon equitable terms, no alterna
, tive wiJl be left bat a dispersion of tLeir august
Congress, the subversion of their government,
and the complete esiablishment of the military
? authority of the United States throughout the
conquered country. If Mexico will not make
peace upon satisfactory terms, why, then,
surely the war must continue; if the war does
continue, the invading armies of the United
States must be defeated and routed, or else
every portion of the blockaded and invaded
country of the enemy mtisi successively yield
to their irresistible and overwhelming advances.
In the present aspect and condition ol affairs,
it is too palpable to be disguised, ami therefore
I emphatically repeat, thai if no peace is con
cluded, the conquest of Mexico will b? coin
plete, or our army will ,be repulsed and van
quished. No American patriot can hesitate in
his expectations, in his hopes, or hi his coufi
dent belief as to the final event. And when
ample means are provided, sufficient appropri
ations of motley, a numerous and well appuint
ed army, adequate supplies of all kinds, and
abundance of arms, munitions, missiles, and
every variety of equipments and facilities, this
final event will be speedily and triumphantly
accomplished, or else prevented only by a
fenerous grant of peace to a bcseeching enemv.
lonorable peace, or speedy conquest, should
be our motto."
QQ*Col. Marshall, in hia New Orleans speech
said, great an opinion as he had formed of General
before he had met him at Victoria, he was totally
, unprepared for the loftiness of character displayed
by bim on receiving those despatches. He, upon
whose creel victory had perched, the lion who was
preparing for another spring upon the foe, saw with- J
out a murmur that his claws were to be torn from
him, that he was to be enfeebled to the defensive,
and never, Mr. M. said, did he cooceive that a great
soldier, fresh from the fields of bis victories, could
submit in the simple uncomplaining manner Gene
ral Taylor did to orders depriving bim of his right
arm. This is the man whom the people are res Ived
to moke their President. Who shall say they are
not right 1
00- Au army correspondent of the Raleigh
ftegisur, sayo: " Bui what shall i say of' old
Rou^b and Keatty /'"lit would do your hear*
^ood to gef a shake 01 the okl Her?'$ paw?so
cordial and heatty, soiree from thai, pomptfu*
affection w huh some (.1 tin iBJaller-fry officers
tresodond of putting on. Why you wofjld
know hint ainoog a thousand, even it you had
never 6eeii hiui before?not by his dress, lor il
ydu were 10 judge by that, you would take hiui
for some old country cndgpr who had straggled
into camp?but by his looks, you would know
him, for he louks just like nobody else in the
world?but General T*iVLOR! He is a noon! I
pleasant old gentleman, and deligjits^in'talku g
with the volunteer privates. He walks about
the camp a& independently as though he didn't
care a popper for Santa Anna or the one who
seni him here. The soldiers would die for hipi,
so dearly do they love him. He's my man for
any office."
The Washington Union baa a wry coromuHics
live correspondent in llw person ot Wayne. He
hoists the cuitaia now and then very effectually, and
leta the "outer barbarians," the "Mexican Whigs,''
get a fair peep at the intentiona of the President.?
Lu bia number of the 23d instant, he aaya:?"Should
the enemy persevere in hia apparent desire *? force
the United 6tates to conquer hia country, it becomes
our duty to manage the war in a way the leaat bur
densome to ourselves, and in reference to its moral
upon the great democratic principle of producing the
greatest good to the greateat number." Aye, that's
it Conquer and occupy Mexico, and, as we, at
home, are the greatest number, govern it ao as to
bring ua the greatest good ! Mexico delenda eat.
The raah policy of Mr. Polk having plunged ua
into thia war with Mexico, saya the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, w, the war itself has produced a
character, on which' the eager enthusiasm of the
people has seized in a way that quite darkena tbe
glory of Jackson in comparison, What indeed did
he achieve to be compared in military skill and ener
gy with Taylor's achievements I There has been
no fighting behind cotton bags in this war. It has
been bold, open, bloody work. It will be refreshing
indeed to find a man in the chair of the Republic,
who will comprehend the vastness of the interests com
mitted to him, and appreciate the dignity of his po
sition.
Flour in Cuicinuati was $5 50 on the 21st, and

The blroudnbur^, Pj. Press, was destroyed by a

It is a pity that the Trustees of the Maryland Ag
ricultural Society can find nothing better to do than
to be resolving that it is their opinion that the wheat

The Loumburg, N. C. Boys are all for Tajlor
and no body elw but Taylor, for President.
(J3*The enthusiasm, saya the Washingtou Union,
with which the President was received in Philadel
phia, exceeded the expectatione of his friends. Hid
friends' expectations must have been very moderate
then, for we learn that the affair was scarcely worth
.recording in the independent newspapers.
Punishment of Death?Esquimaux Philosophy.
Among the Esquimaux, according lo Sir John Rosa,
the crime of murder very rarely occurs. When it
does, tbe murderer's punishment consists in being
banished to perpetual solitude, to be shunned by ev
ery individual of his tribe : insomuch that even the
sight of him is avoided by all who may inadvertant
ly meet bim. On being a*ked why his life is not
taken in return, it was replird, "that this would tie to
make themselves equally bad ; that tbe loss of his
life would riot restore the other; and that he who
?hoold commit mch an act would be equally guilty."
Aa an evidence of the richness of the mines of
Chihuahua, saya the New Orleans National, under
the Spaniards, ins stated that the magnificent church
of that city, which is of immense proportions, and
ornamented by three towers of solid stone, was built
at a cost of six liui.die.i thousand dollars, snd that
this immense sum was raised by a tax of one bit on
every eight dollars coiqed in the mines. These silver
mines are as rich as they ever were, and inexhausti
ble; but the Indiana haVe driven the Mexicana frem
the richeat of them, and the people are too lazy to
work those iu their possession.

DR. C A. Van Zandt's Health Restora
tive Pills is a medicine which not only cures
but prevents disease, capoble of great results, and
equally calculated to b? safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
gerous a seated bilious disorder is, and we are also
we|l aware of the seeming insignificance of ir? first
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional nausea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so c mtnon
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated so contemp
tuously, are the consequences of a diseased state of
the liver, which if not remedied, will lead either 19
speedy death or a l-.ng tiain of unbearable ills which
are known by the following names: Hypochondria,
mania, dizziness, slow fevers, epilepsy, asthma,
drdpsy, rheumatism, chlorasis, convulsions, nausea,
nervousness, crapms, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, and violence,dyspepsia, hysterics, scurvy,foul
stomach, dry coughs, glandular affections, colds, lin
gering sore throats, various disorganizations of the
great intestine, strictures and spasmodic complaints
internally, eruptions, shortness of breath, heartburn,
neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gastric fe
vers, &c.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irregular action
of the heart. Take them pills and suffer no more
