Our Provision Markets.?The provision mar
kets of Washington, owing to the destruction of
P?rt of the Potomac bridge, have been badly supplied
for nearly a year past, and prices have ruled, in con
sequence, very high. And at the present moment,
prices are far above what they ought to be. We are
sorry to say, there ia little or no prospect of an end
being put to this state of things very shortly, for the
friends of Dr. Douglass aver that he cannot get the
bridge rebuilt for love or money. If this be so, the I
fact ought to be established by incontestible evidence,
bo as to relieve the Doctor from the suspicion, that
ia now so widely spread, of inexcusable neglcct in
the performance of the dutiea of his office. Wo
have heard it intimated that a public meeting will be
called at an early day to consider thia matter of the
rebuilding of the bridge. There ia money in the
Treasury devoted for the purpose, and it is the duty
of the citizens to know why it is not used to carry
into effect the design of Congress. We'hope that
the people will come together at once, and appoint a
committee to look into the matter, and seek the Pre
aident a interference in the premises.
Cox.. Bollirg.?Letters from this gentleman's
District in Virginia assuro us that his election is
regarded as certain. The most moderate calcula
tiona of his friends give him a most decided majori
ty, even admitting a full turn out. There are hun
dreds of Democrats who have avowed themselves in
fiiTor of Boiling before Meade, on the ground that
as they are to choose bctwoen two Whiga, (for Mr.
Meade aaye he has not changed his principles), they
prefer an out and out Whig, such as Colonel Boiling
Our Public Schools.?The examinations
o! the pupils ol our public schools have just
taken place. They who have attended speak
very favorably of the progress made, of the
diligence and good behavior of the children,
and of the industry and zeal of the teachers!
1 here are about 500 children now taught in
these public institutions. The public mind
has not yet been fqlly wrought up to the im
portance of the common school system iu
Washington. Let some member of the City
Government or some one else anxious to do
good, devote his time to the study of the New
York system, and introduce that grand feature
or school instruction into our midst, and our
word for it, we shall soon see our whole so
ciety agitated with the subject, and determined
to sustain the system. Much, much remains
to be done in this matter. There are far too
many idle boys roaming our streets for the
good of society. There ought to be none.
We throw out these hints at this juncture, in
the hope that some able pen will take up the
question, and hammer at it through our col
umns, which are cheerfully proffered, until
every child in the city shall sil under the voice
of instruction.
OO* We see that the papers are making free
with the politics of our gallant townsman Co
lonel May. A friend informs us that the
Colonel was a Jackson man and is now a
Taylor man. In addition to this, we learn on
undoubted authority that the Colonel pro
nounces the Hero of Buena Vista to bo a
whole-soul Whig.
GO- W. G. Brown, an artist of Richmond,
irgtnia, is on his way home with two por
traits of General Taylor?one in citizen's dress,
and the other in uniform on horseback?and'
also with portraits of Major Bliss and other
officers who have been serving under the old
Hero. Mr. Brown's artistical powers are
vouched for by (he best judges. We hope he
will visit Washington, and exhibit his origi
nals.
Captain Naylor, of the second Pennsylva
ma regiment, and once a member of Congress,
has laid his bones in Mexican soil. He died'
at Puebla recently of brain fever.
The fine large barn, belonging to the farm
ol the widow of the late Governor Veazey, sit
uated on Sassafras neck, Cecil county, Mary,
land, was struck by lightning about 5 o'clock
on the afternoon of the 12th instant, and totally
destioyed by fire, together with about thirty
tona of hay, several hundred bushels of corn
and nearly all the valuable farming utensils
The loss is very heavy, there being only $800
insurance.
The Grand Division of the Sons of Tem
perance of Virginia have made arrangementa to
meet in Wincheater on Wednesday the 31st; and
on 8aturd*y the 24rh, Good Samaritan Division, No. J

THE CASE OF CHAS. LEE JONES.
A brochure of 32 pages, entitled " The Case
of ihe Battalion stated, with an Exposition of
the Grounds upon which Charles Lee Jones,
Esq., expected to have had the command of
the Battalion, &,c., as Lieutenant Colonel," by
Walter Jones, was placed in our hands this
morning, by those enterprising booksellers,
Brooke, Shillington &, Co., who have our
thanks for their early attention.
Whatever emanates fiom the pen of the dis
tinguished Advocate trailer Jones, carries with
it a weight which few pens in the country can
boast of, and hence it is not necessary for us
to invite public attention Jo the pamphlet be
fore us. It will be greedily sought after by the
whole reading public, of all parties. To say
that ha has made out his case, ia to say nothing
more than what would be expected of him by
the community in which he lives, and of which
lie hay been so long the pride and ornament.
He has fixed upon the President and his Sec
retary of War the charges of trifling with the
feelings ol their fellow-citizens?of absolute
falsification of promises. We do not see how
they can escape from the consequences. It is
true, they may hide themselves behind the
shield of power, and deny the charges brought
against them and substantiated by irresistible
evidence; but such a course will not satisfy
the public. They will have to answer for these
offences against the rights of the constituent,
before the tribunal of public opinion.
. IIad we tl,e l'nie and room, we should cer
tainly reproduce, iu the columns of the Nation
al Whig, this whole vindication of Mr. Chas.
Lee Jones, by his father, from the " faithless
ness and insolence of power." It should go
before the people. It should be read by every
man in the Union, in order that he might see
that truth does not abide in high places, in
the government of his agents, his servants, at
Washington.
To attempt an epitome of this powerful pro
duction of Gen. Jones, would be to injure it.
No man would ever think of epitomizing his
law arguments. They are epitomes always
in themselves. Suffice it for us to say, that
the General establishes beyond a doubt, that the
President and the Secretary of War promised
Charles Lee Jones the Lieutenant Colonelcy
of the battalion which Gen. Jones was ordered
by requisition from the War Department to
raise, and that this promise was not only vio
lated but wai never made from the beginning
with the purpose of being adhered to. As we
have already said, every body will seek this
exposition of official insolence and faithless
ness, without any promptings of ours, but if
there should chance to be any man who might
be indisposed to examine the question, we say
to himOmit not to examine it by any means,
but read the pamphlet, study it and ponder it.'
It is a thing that concerns the liberties of every
man in the Union. If the Presidential faith is
to be broken in this way, it is time that the
public should know it, in order to punish its
violation in the person of the violator.

WAnmifGTON, JutT 14, 1847.
To the Editor ok the National Whig?
I think I can tell you how it is that Mr. French
expect* to be re-elected Cle k. I. He has refund
to draw ths $500 extra compensation voted to him
by Congress at the close of the last session. His
abstinence, he hopes, will humbug the Whigs into
admiration of his tenderness for the Public Treasury.
It will be remembered, however, that all previous
extras he drew without compunction of conscience.
Besides, whether reflected or not, he can always
draw his $500. 2. He relies upon trickery as a
means of re-election?that is. upon a thin House
and a Hopkins to move a choice of Clerk by resolu
tion and the-previous question thereon. To aid him
in his schemes, he has his friend, Mr. 8imon Brown,
the Librarian of the House, at his right hand. Si
mon id a great manager. I mention these things to
put the Whips on their guard.
FEAR NOUGHT.
Oj-Mr. Milliard is canvassing his District in Ale.
He has as yet no opponent. Ho will receive the
vote of both parties and deserves it. He is one of
our rifc8t statesmen.
Criminal Court, July 15.?United States
vs. Win. H. Wall.?The aigument of counsel
was closed at 12 o'clock last night, and the case
given to the jury this morning, who had not
agreed upon a verdict when our paper went to
press.
U. S. vs. Edward Hilton?assault on Lucy
Ann Price. Verdict guilty. Ould for defence.
Spurious Notes. We saw yesterday, says the
Baltimore American of the 13th instant, two one
dollar notes of the Merchant's Bank of Baltimore,
which had been altered to tens, and as ingeniously
was it done aa to require close scrutiny to detect the
fraud. The notes of the denomination of one and
two dollars issued by the Bank are in the form of
certificates of deposite, and all those of a higher de
nomination are in the usual form of bank notes. A
recollection of thia fact will be sufficient to detect the
imposition. From the circums'ance of two notes of
thia false character being offered at the bank yester
day, it ia inferred that a number are in circulation.
Outrage and attempt to Murder. On Wednes
day, June 23d, at Indian Key, Mr. William Hillard,
was shot in the left breast, by a free negro man by
t he same of Michael. It appears that he had fired
a gun on the piazza, and Mr. Hillard forbid it in fu
ture; this order caused some w<>rd*, and before Mr.
H. knew where he was he was down, and the negro
even again attempted to attack him whilat wounded,
but the timely arrival af a sloops crew prevented any
further harm.
STILL LATER FROM MEXICO.
The New Orleans Times of (be 7th in it., ha* in.
telligence from Vert Crux to the lat instant, and
from the city of Mexico to the 19th ult.
The work of fortifying the capital was g oing on
vigoroualy, though with little judgment, aa the moat
important points along which Americans would be
sure to pass were left unprotected. Santa Ana had
culled for a forced loan of one million, and was rail
ing it at the point of the bayonet.
The British Courier with dates from the city of
Mex co to the 26th of June, arrived at Vera Cruz
on the 1st inst., but his advices had not transpired
before the sailing of the New Orleans packet.
Jalapa has been deserted by our troops and occu
pied by the guerillists. Vera Cruz had only 300
men to defend the city. The country in the interior
was crowded with the enemy's troops. The mor
tality of Vera Cruz was about ten daily.
f ather Jaranta the guerrillist had quarrelled with
his superiors about the division of the spoils captured
n the attack on Col. M'Intosh's party.
A letter from Puebla of the 19th ult. has no hopes
whatever of a peace and scouts the idea. It says
that our only course will be to aeiza upon and hold,
and use the country, that the people are not against
us, if this be our policy.
Com. Perry arrived at Anton Lizardo on the 30th
of June from Tobasco. He found the river blocked
and had to land and march againat the city. He le
ceived one fire from the enemy, and gave them grape
and canister at musket shot distance, when they took
to their heels with the rapidity of lightning. We
had four wounded, among whom was Lieut. May
who lost an arm. The Times gives no further ac-'
count of the Tobasco expedition.
LATE FROM SJUVVA FE.
We have dales from this plsce to the 27th of
May. Major Russell brought them and also des
patches from Col. Fremont. All was quiet in Cali
fornia, and Uio army in that quarter waa in good
health. Major E lmundson had been attacked in
Red River 126 miles south of Santa Fo by 300
Mexicans and Indians and with his command of 160
forced to retire, losing two men killed, his horses
ammunition, clothing, Ac. The engagement came'
on aa our men were crossing a ravine. Lieut. Wil
lock, had been despatched as a reinforcement in pur
suit of the enemy. The high road across the Plaina
was infested with Indians who attacked every small
party and drove away their cattle.
In 1816 the receipts at New Orleans from the
upper country amounted to 77 millions of dollars;
the steamhoats engaged in the trade of St. Louis
were 351, and the whole number on the Western
rivers nearly 1200, valued at 16 millions of dollars,
to which are to be added 4000 keel and flat boats.?
The annnal cost of transportation is 41 millions.
I he total value of the domestic products put afloat
upon the waters of the valley is 260 millions; and
the value of the whole commerce afloat is 430 mil
lions, being double the amount of the whole f reign
commerce of the United States. The number of
steamboats lost in 1812 was 68; in 1846 the numher
waa 36. The annual loss of lives is 180. The
uiags it is well known have caused many of these
disasters. But to this commerce of 400 millions
the Government does not give even a snag boat, nor
"a farthing light to designate the place of danger."
Nothing is given for this commerce, while the for
eign commerce is protected at an expense of 9 or 10
millions annually. Let the West, then, unite and
vote for no man as President who does not recognise
the complete power of Congress over this question
tf^Mr. Calhoun's letter of the 15th June, declin
ing an invitation to attend the Fourth of July cele
bration at Calhoun's mills, hai one glorious sentiment
in it. It is this. "His support by the people of his
native district waa won by a fearless discharge of
his duty." But there is another sentiment that does
not go ao far aa we should like to see it go. "May
our Union, with our institutions and liberty, be long
preserved!" Forever, forever should be the word.?
Nothing short of the duration of the globe we inha
bit satisfies the cravings for the continuance of our
blessed Union.
The arbitrators in the case of Mrs. Bishler,
whose house, insured in the Potomac Compa
ny, burued down about two years ago, and
was rebuilt, as she thought, in a very inferior
manner, have decided that the building must
come down and the rubbish be removed?and
also that she is entitled to indemnification for
the time the house remained untenanted.
An Example worthy of being followed. There
ia a lady in this city ao good a Whig mlo take four
copies of our paper. We hope that all the Whig
men will follow, in part at least, the example set
them by this lady. We cannot omit stating the
fact, that ahe payt in advance !

Ravages or Was.?The Joneaborough Whig in
forms us that Col. Wm. B. Campbell's regiment of
Tennesse volunteers, numbered 1000 men, and that
Col. Haakell's numbered 1040, when they marched
to Mexico. Only 350 of the former, and 360 of the
latter regiment have returned to their homes?the
remainder, 1330, having been consigned to untimely
graves by disease, or having fallen in battle !

laughter, and when " respectfully yours," was
reached, the outburst was so universal, that a
general cry was heard, that the letter be read
again. The letter was then read again, with
like bursts of laughter, mingled with hisses.

A BACHELOR'S SOLILIQUY.
I feci vary itringe?I even feel stupid!
I've reason to think it's thai little god Cupid;
I'm afflicted with beavinaaa, often with aighing,
And think all the time, I'm in danger of dying.
There'# 110 one especial, I'd like to post***,
Although I am fond of a gentle carees.
I think I'll look over my visiting list.
And aee if a helpmate from that I can twiot.
There's Miss D. H. Lewis, I ihink she might do,
But she carries a weight of five hundred and two;
And being well read, and a scholar profound,
She'd be a hard wife for a man to get round.
Miss Mercy, perhaps she'd make a good wife,
For I'm told she if little conversant with strife,
But then her poor uncle she oft over-reaches,
And charges four leviea for mending his breeches.
Miss Sawyer I often have thoughts of espousing,
But then I am afraid she is fond of carousing,
And tho' I have money and in tenement stand rich'
I never will spend them in sausage and sandwich.
The wily Miss Ourian appears to be bent-on
Obtaining a mission that she may be sent on;
And as she's a statesman and warrior to boot,
She would not, methinks, an old bachelor auit.
The next one I aee is that little Miss Walker,
And every one aaya she's a beautiful talker;
But I never will marry a girl that intrigues
With ?uch dashing young men as Corcoran & Riggs.
Here's diminutive Polk, she's as rich as a topaz,
With a leg-acy left by her darling Miss Lopez;
But then she's in love with a lame cabellero,
Who distinguished himself at the battle of Cerro.
But last on the list, ensconced in a corner,
Is gentle Miss Taylor?by Jove ! I'm a gone-er!
She's modest and honest, and noble and kind,
And suited in every thing quite to my mind.
They tell me, moreover her fortune divine
Is to move to the White Mouse in March, forty-1
nine;
So I'll brush up my whiskers and order my car riage j
And instantly ask for the lady in marriage.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE subscriber having learned than an attempt
is being made to injure the reputation of his
MINERAL WATER by the circulation of a spu
rious article purporting to be his, he is therefore un
der the necessity of publishing the following certifi
cates, and respectfully calls the attention of the Fa
cu'tv and Public to tho subject.
A. FAVIER,
Manufacturer of all kinds of Mineral Wafers,
Washikoton, June 19,1847.
Sir : In conjunction with several other members
of the Medical profession I gave you, some years
xince, a certificate of the good quality of your
Mineral Water. With (a commendable jealousy of
your own works, lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect, you have
again applied to me for an analysis of several speci
mens of Mineral Water, purporting to have been
made after different methods or by different persons,
the particulars of which were not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color of the bottles.
I have examined the several specimens submitted,
aud find as follows: The water in the white glass
bottles is free from all impurities ; that in the green
bottles contains a sensible quantity of sulphuric acid,
which is evident to the smell and taste, as well as to
the proper chemical tests. From a recent inspec
tion of your process, I was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
to the water were lead and sulphuric acid. Of lead
1 find no traces whatever in any of the bottles; the
amount of sulphuric ac'd present in the green bottles,
though small, is objectionable, and must be regarded
as an impurity, as the Mineral Water professes to be
free from all such admixtures. I therefore certify
that tho Mineral Water contained in the white bot
tles sent to me was pure, and in my opinion saluta
ry, while that in the green bottles was impure and
uufit for a common beverage.
CHARLES G. PAGE,
Professor of Chemistry. National Mtdical College.
Mr. A. Favikr.
Washington, Juno 24, 1847.
Si r : Upon testing the water loft with mo by you,
which was in the same kind of bottles mentioned by
Dr. Page, I have only confirmed the result of the
analysis made by that gentleman.
THOMAS P. JONES,
Mr. A. Favieb. Prof, of Chemistry.
Wasbhtgton, Juno 19, 1847.
This is to certify that the water analyzed by Dr.
Pago, fiom the white bottles, was made by Mr. Fa
vier's apparatus, at his establishment, and that in
the green bottles came from another establishment,
where it was manufactured.

A Luxury Indeed!
VAPOR, TEPID, AJYD COLD SHOWER
OR RUSSIAJY BATH.
THE subscriber, (through the persuasion of many
intimate friends) has been induced to fit up the
above establishment, (a bath never before known
to this community) for the purpose of rendering
every necessary convenience and luxury to the citi
zens of this metropolis.
In offering to the public the advantages of this
mott delightful bath, he would say to thoso who are
in a state ot physical debility, that there is nothing
known that is so well calculated to restore the ener
gies of the human system. The most delicate female
under its influence improves in strength with most
astonishing rapidity.
Connected with this mode of bathing, he has in
troduced the Salt-water Vapor, and Shower Bath,
giving to those who desire it, all the advantages of
Sea-bathing, without the trouble and expense of a
trip to the Capes.
His rooms are situated on tho corner of 4j street
and Missouri avenue. Open at all hours from six in
the morning till nine at night.
Thursdays of each week are set apart for the spe
cial accommodation of Ladies, when a lady will be
in attendance to wait on those who may please to
visit this establishment. The public are invited to
give this Bath a trial.
Terms: Single tickets 371 cents, or three tickets
for $1 00.
