McCalla i* out in a long addrea* to the Preai
dent, tKe burthen of which l*?the Prenident
did Ull him (Mr. McCalla,) that the Eiecutive
appointed Mr. McElroy and Mr. Rey a*
Spie* to our Army in Meiico and not a*
Chaplain* thereto. Mr. McCalla'* eeidencato
our mind, i* poeitive on (hi* point. With
Catholic*, however, the external evidence in
reaped to (hit aff.iir ha* no weight. The uai
veraal conviction with itu-m ie?that the Freer
dent did tell Mr. McCalla, that he appointed
Messrs Rey and McElroy a* Spies and not ?>
Chaplain*. The whole conversation, as detailed,
bears internal evidence of bring true,
and this it all that concerns Catholics. Mr,
McCalla'* abuse of Bishop Hughes and the
Catholic* is all natuial enough, considering it?
relations subsisting between tlie Bi*hnp and
Mr. McCalla ever since the llreclteiiridge con
troversy. But in regard to the assertion that
Mr, McElroy anil Mr. Rey were emp^ed as
Spies, if it become* necessary for them to
apeak, we learn on undoubted authority, thai
they can blow it to the wind* by written proof
in their possession. They did not move a step in
the affair without written ^jilhority for what
they should dot Their orders to lepsir to the
Army and there exercise ivn-ly their spiritual
functions, we understand, were prepared by
McElroy himfelf, at the request ol the Sec re
tary of War. No insinuations that tbey were
to be employed in a political or Spy character
were ever thrown out to them by any member
df the Government. It ia a precious piece of
business altogether, and w? leave the question
of veracity to be settled between the reverend
accuser and the President of bis own parly, as
best it can be.
Surfraoe in Illinois.?The Convention baa

the right to vote.
Sending " a force of 120 men through a
range of 180 miles of the enemy's country, ocj
cupied by a population of 90,000," involves
L such a reckless and wanton exposure of lives,
j* as calls loudly on the Government, for censure,
| il not punishment, on the officer who ordered
.the expedition.?Ainc Orleans Bulletin.
Jt is not a whit more reckless than the act of
the Government in sending Gen. Scott to
Puebla with 5000 men iu (he midst of a population
of some millions, and not reinforcing
htm for two months?nor is it more reckless
> than the conduct of the Govemmeut in leatr

The annexed letter froin General Taylor, is
in reply to one addressed to him by Petbh
Skkn Smith, Esq., of Philadelphia, with the
design ol eliciting his sentiments in reference
to the political opinions of the Native American
patty. It will be seen that the General refuses
to be the candidate of the Native American
patty :
Headquarters Armv of Occupation,
vamp near Monterey,
iMliii u, July G, 1847.
Sir:?The prospectus of a Native American
paper, to be edited by yourself, forwarded to
me with attached remarks from you, has
been duly received.
Upon the points alluded to in those remarks,
aud to which members of the Native American
party require asseut front those whom they
lavor for the Presidency, lean only say, with
all candor, that if elected to that office it must he
by the spontaneous will of the people at targe,
and without agency or pledge on tin/ part in any
particular. If ever I Jill that high office, it must
he untrammelled with party obligations or interutsof
any kind, and under none but those
which the Constitution an* the hiqh interests
of the nation at large most sehi
ously and solemnly demand. y
1 dataol desire the Presidency, and only
yield thus far my assent, to he considered a
candidate in the same proportion in which it is
desired by the people, irrespective of parly.
Your paper?the No. winch you were kind
enough to promise?will be very acceptable;
meanwhile j can only hope it will prove useI
Mill to the cotlntry.
, Very truly^aud sincerely, your obedietii
servant, , Z. TAYLOR,
Major General U. S. Army. '

The New Orleans Picayune publishes an

July, fruni whiqj^we take the following interesting
paragraph?
"Those merchants who have occasional communication
with their correspondents in Mexico,
dare nut make political news public here,
as their Iriends ate forbidden by the authorities
of Mexico to write on political subjects. I saw
one letter ten day* ago which gave the names
of fuur large commercial houses, the' heads of
which had been summoned before Santa Ana,
and severely reprimanded for writing letters to
their friends here giving the history of political
events. The letters bad been intercepted by
guerillas, and the writers were politely inform
d that if they did the like again, they would
uot only be tendered the hospitalities of Castle

before mnr tlaya were goDe they were fain to wail

I their entreaty and kept on until be had made-ono ol

ins qnalities they can find nowhere else.

grocers say we are ruining the trade and call us
humbugs. This we have done already, and now

wholesale grocers pay to the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
2d. The wholesale grocers allow only 13 or at

cheat. We allow, iu moat instances, 15 and 16
