F FVom the Haiti more American. UE5I. TALYOI1 -THE PHESIDKBICY The time ueeins to be at hand when the friends of Gen. Taylor, in Maryland, should take some decisive steps to give form to their feelings and views in his behalf, and prepare, by a suitable organization, the ' means of acting with unity and effect. The indications which have been given already of the popularity of Gen. Taylor in Maryland, furnish a satisfactory assurance, wc think, that he is, by large odds, the first choice of this state tor ine nevi rresidency. There is further evidence, we think, that this popularity is not of a capricious or transient sort; hut I that it emanates front u profound conviction *of the sterling qualities of the ntan; froin a confidence in his integrity, judgment and moderation; front a sinjj t oere belief, indeed, that fie is, ut this juncture, udntirably fitted to allay dangerous animosities, to harmonize conflicting tendencies, and to discharge the duties of the Presidential office in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution and with the true interests and glory of the Republic. It is not our purpose, however, to enlarge upon the personal qualities of Gem Taylor. Luudution is I out of place, when the grave responsibilities of the Chief Mugistraej^of this great country are to bo considered. Such us Gen. Taylor is the people know hint; and taking him as he is we believe they are saf tisfied with him. His greatness is their own discovery; for he has long been a great man, without knowing it himself. ^Thc position which Gen. Taylor holds in reference I to the Presidency, since the public use of his name in connection with that office has made it necessary for him to declare his position, is one which no other nmn iu the whole country could venture properly to assume. It is the best of ull positions when the man * is found who can take it?otherwise, the most ridiculous. For the first time since the. days of Washington the man is recognized. " Should it become inevita-' bly necessary lor me," saw tnc nrst l'resiaoni, in 1796, " to go into the chair of Government, I have "determined to go free from all positive engagements " of every nature whatsoever, so thut 1 may be ut li"berty to act with a sole reference to justice and to | " the public good." Such was the truthful language of Washington.? j Let us see if Gen. Taylor's declarations to the same I effect do not bear the impress of a similar dignity : " J can only say with all candor," remarks the victor " of the Rio Grande, " thut if elected to that (the Pre" sidential) office, it must Ik; by the spontaneous will " of the people at large, and without agency or pledge "on my part in any particular. If I ever fill that " high office, it must be untrammelled with party ob41 ligations or interests of any kind, and under none "but those which the constitution and the high In " terests of the nation ut large most seriously and so" lemnly demand." Gen. Taylor adds that he does not desire the Presidency; and with thut modesty which forms an element of the unaffected sincerity and simplicity of the man, he declares his belief that there are others fur belter fitted for the office than himself. It is not to a mind of this sort, so unambitious yet so replete with its own greatness as to hold external distinctions in rather slight appreciation?a mind which has been accustomed to rest upon its own convictions and to find its highest satisfaction in the consciousness of duties well performed?it is not to such a mind that humi| " Hating terms may be proposed or restrictive pledges exacted as the sacrifice to be made for official elevation. The responsibilities of the Presidential office are, no doubt, in Gen. Taylor's estimation, quite an equivalent for the honors of the place. And, in truth, it is not be denied that the incumbent of that high station who worthily discharges the functions pertaining to it, confers upon his country u much greater favor than he received when it raised him to the post. if may be urged, however, in some quarters, that Gen. Taylor's lute avowal of Whig predilections have taken away from his position the characteristic ol independence, in respect to parties, which marked it at first. A moment'a reflection will show that this assumption is founded in a mistake, it has been known from lite beginning thut Gen. Taylor's political views were usually in accordance with those oi the Whigs, and that his preferences in favor of Mr. Clay for the Presidency in 1844 were1 strung and decided. The administration recognised this fact in their persecutions of Gen. Taylor. Throughout tin last, session of Congress, from the time when tin President's Message omitted afl mention of the hero'K name, to the period of the failure of the lust effort to put a Lieutenant General over him, including the unmanly uttcmpt to smuggle a vote of censure upon nun tnrougn me iwo nouses, mere were inuiuuuuiuof sufficient significance to prove beyond all doubt the hostility of the Administration, and its ultra psrtizans, towards the brave man who hud saved thetn from disgrace and the country from disaster. There has never been, tlien, we repeat it, any good reason to suppose otherwise than that Gen. Taylor was politically inclined towards the Whigs. But what then.' It would be a strange thing for any man in this country, possessed of ordinary intelligence, to grow to be fifty years old or more without having some political prepossessions. Gen. Taylor is no politician, he has never been one, lis has never voted at all. He is unwilling to be regarded us a partizan; for, in that light he utterly refuses to be a candidate. If ht has been, in his political preferences, a Whig, that has been an incident"of his character?not its prominent feature, which is one of comprehensive and patriotic regard for the whole country. He has been a Whig?and something more.?Those who are partizans and nothing mure than partizans, may not easily understand this. The public mind, however, is not likely to trouble itself on this point. When Gen. Taylor declares that he will not be a partizan candidate, and that if he goes into the Presidency it must be without party pledges of any kind, save such as the constitution embodies in the official oath?when he says this, in the plain language of sincerity and truth, the people wiil be apt to take hirn at his word, to believe him, to ask no other guarantee; lor he is just the man to say this and be believed. It is not often that we task our readers, or ourselves, by long articles in these columns. But it is not often that we have a Presidential nomination to announce under such circumstances as those which mark this present occasion. If once in a quarter ol a century a new epoch is born, as a phrnnix-like emanation from the ushes of old issues, and the time comes When it is proper that the dead should bury their dead, it is becoming to pause and devote some moments to reflection, while, in the stillness ol partizan emotions, we may give up our hearts and minds to the higher sentiment of an ail-comprehensive patriotism, to the contemplation of our country in the grand proportions of its greatness and destiny. With regard, then, to former issues we have here briefly to express the conviction that the questions which have for some years past divided the two great parties.?-Take, for example, those relating to the currency and the taritf~-must assume, when they again acquire prominence, new modifications. The next great commercial revulsion may be expected to bring IUV ?.?? v?? cApv;iicuwc, wuuuuiuiiy great revulsion, may demonstrate the necessity of a substitute for the Sub-Treasury. But whenever the question reappears it will come with its own lights, reflected from new points of view. In point of principle the essential thing involved is the constitutional power and duty of the General Government to take measures of regulation and control over the currency and in point of fact both parties virtually concede this. For while the advocates of the Sub-Treasury boast, somewhat vainly, indeed, that the Government is separated from the banks, they also boast that a wholesome control is exercised by the action of the Sub-Treasury over tho general circulation of the country. It is one of the arguments in favor of this institution, fallacious or not as the case may be, that it tends to check over-issues on the part of the banks, nnd to keep them, more than they would otherwise be, within the lines of a safe business. The essential principle involved in the Tariff is in like manner recognised by both parties. Discrimination in the rates of duties, at the discretion of the Govefnment, may be calU d discrimination for revenue, or it may,be called discrimination for protection. By whatever name it is Is* called, protwtfon in the Tfjniit. And in point of fact, the tariff of 1846 Involves protective discrimination ns decidedly as did the tariff of 1842. The uu<;Htion an it nr.w 1^ only. The tariff of 1942 wtt? in our judgment a better tariff than the present one, because it was frank in its announcement of the protective principle and embodied the important features of minimum! and the home valuation. The present tariff is protective also j but it is so less distinctly, less assuredly, and less extensively. Hut without comparing these two Tariffs, which it is uot our purpose to do, nor to analyze minutely any of the special questions which have of late years formed matter of political contention, the poiut to be mainly regarded is this: That in the present aspect of parties and party questions, when ultraism on uny of the old issues is out of place, and new circumstances of modification are continually arising, it is chiefly important to have a man at tho head of the Government, not to pledge himself in advance upon issues which every day's events may vary, but a inun of such judgment, firmness and honesty, thai he may trusted to act patriotically and wisely in uny emergency whenever tho emergency shull come. If Gen. Tavlob had been questioned before he crossed the Rio Grande us to his opinions concerning the campaign, then approaching, he would not have been able to speak vei*y definitely of the buttle of Buena Vista. But when the buttle came he wus there?and thut was sufficient. So when other buttles shull come, involving great "UllU."" IIUCICOIO, .V uv, H.wi.u,v6?v ~ Union, the presence of Gen. Taylor at the head of the Government, with that calm serenity and undismuyed spirit which have given assurance of victory on other fields, will infuse confidence throughout the country every where that all must go well. Finally, and at any rate, we gather from the indications in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other Stutes that Gen. Taylor is unquestionably in the field. He has not made himself a candidate for the Presidency; the People have done it. He has announced the terms upon which he will stand, and those terms are accepted. Gen. Taylor is in theJicld; he will not withdraw nor he withdrawn ; for he never retreats ; he never surrenders. The people who have called him to his position will sustain him there. They claim him as their own. Conventions may recognize, but they cannot appropriate hiiu. George Washington is now to have a successor. [from the Relcigh Register] NOT A SOUS HAD HE GOT Not a sous liutl he got?not a guinea or note, Ami he lunked confoundedly flurried, A? he bolted away without |wtying his shot. Ami the lundlonJ after him hurried. We saw him again at the dead of night, When home from the club returning, We twigged the doctor beneuth the light or the gas-light brilliantly burning. All bare and exposed to the midnight dews, Heclined in the gutter we found him ; And he lay like a gentleman taking a snooze, With his rmtrshai cloak around him. 44 The doctor's as drunk as the d? ?I," we said ? We managed a shutter to borrow? We ruised him, and sighed at the thought that his head Wotdd consuinedly ache on the morrow. We bore him home, and we put him to bed, And we told his wife and his daughter, To give him next morning a couple of red Herrings with soda water. Loiully they talked of his money that's gone And his lady began to upbraid him; But little he recked, so they let him snore on, 'Neath the counterpane just us we laid him. We tucked itim in and had hardly done, When beneath the window calling, We heard the rough voice of a son of a gun Of a watchman 44one o'clock !" bawling. Slowly ami sadly we all walked down From his room in the upper story ; * A rushlight we placed on the cold hearth stone, And we left him alone in his glory. From, the New Orleans Delta. THE CONQUEST. The Republic of Mexico' is virtually subjugated. I Iler seaports nre filled with our vessels?her forfifi! cations garrisoned by our troops?and her capitnl the headquarters of-our army. The government, or the shadow of it that is left, is unsupported by the confidence of the people, and destitute of the power to make itself respected or obeyed. Her treasury is exhausted?her urmy diasolved?and her people in a stnte of doubt, dismay and anarchy. Mexico is us effectually conquered ns ever a country was. The predatory warfare carried on by petty chiefs must soon cease even to annoy, and, under a proper and energetic system, the conquest will be followed by a speedy pacification. The thing is done, and Mexico is ours. Now coines the difficulty. What shall we io with it 7 Shull we, startled at the spiiit which our conjurations have ruiBed, retire from the field, and I leave the country as wc found it I This would be the beat way of gaining the contempt of the world, or disgracing ourselves in the eyes of posterity, and leaving to coming generations a troublesome neighbor on our frontiers, and an interminable succession of party wars, as a legacy. To retire is impossible : common sense, the necessity of self-preservation, and the spirit of the people and the age, alike forbid it..? Shall we hold, annex, colonize, and eventually admit into the Union, the northern- and thinly settled portion of the territory? This seems to be a necessity forced upon us. It is a destiny which cannot be avoided. The whole of New Mexico and California, nnd parts of Sonora, Sinuloa, D urn go, Chihuahua, New Leon, and Tamaulipas, will be incorporated into the Union. But what shall be done with the southern and more densely populated part of the country ? Under proper guarantees, it might be restored to the jurisdiction of the Mexicans. If assured of their quiet and peaceful disposition?if certain that it would not fall under the influence and control of European and inimical powers, there could be no objections to the re-establishment of Mexican nationality in the populous district of the territory. In the fullness of time, the people might be so improved, instructed, and amalgamated with the northern race as .to make the innexation of the whole a subject of mutual interest and advantage to both parties. But we doubt much whether such guarantees could be obtained. We do not believe that the present generation of Mexicans can be brought to live in peace and good fellowship with the United States, if left to follow their natural I impulses and deep-rooted prejudices. And should it prove that these doubts are well founded, the strongest reasons would exist for not leaving them to their I own guidance, as the work of conquest, now complete, would only have to be undertaken again, under | less favorable circumstances. The same reasons which would make it impracticable to permit the revival of the Mexican Govern-1 ment, would render it in the highest degree incxpe- ' dient and dangerous to admit the lurger departments of the nation into the confederacy as independent States. The necessity of an army to keep a State in order would be a new feature in our politics, and one which we could not regard with any degree of favor. Being, then, unable to restore the Mexican j Government with security, or to admit the States as they are into the Union with safety to our political system, what can be done? They can be held as conquered and subject provinces, under the protection and government of the United States. We can support such a Government by the revenues of the country, we can establish just and equal laws, abolish every form of oppression, give security to person and property, develop the resources of the country, restore fertility to the fields, industry to the workshops, activity to commerce?we can improve, educate, and fully civilize the people?preparing them In a short time for the free enjoyment of that enlightened and liberal system of government, which it Is our mission to establish throughout this continent at least. That such a scheme as this will meet with opposition ib to be expected. Some timid persons will prognosticate the breaking up of the whole system of republicanism If we make conquests and treat them us conquests. Others will be peering through the pages of the constitution to ascertain if the federal government has any power so to act, and will treat it as a dangerous infraction of that sacred Instrument if th#>v?en?not find in so manv Words what disposition we shall make of conquered Mexico. To i the former we have only to any that the federative system, which, formedTor thirteen States, now govj ems thirty?which, adopted for a small portion of , the continent on the Atlantic coast, now controls the | wide-spread territories embracing hundreds of strange and hostile tribes from ocean to ocean, is not likely to be enfeebled by an extension of a few hundred miles more or less to the southward. And to the latter It is enough that the constitution givos the power to make war, in order to cover all its incidents, and one among these is conquest, unless, indeed we should be convinced that the same men who fought the battle of independenee anticipated defeat in all future colllson of amis. If conquests he made they must be governed, and sq far as constitutional power is concerned, Congress may exercise the sajnc jurisdiction orer Mexico end Oregon. (To the Editor of the National Whig.) Eaiteru Burial Ground. I am glad to see that you have tukcn some notice of the neglected and dilapidated state of the Eastern Burial Ground of this city. This was a subject of complaint many yeurs ago; and it is singular that so little attention iius been paid to this last resting-place of the deud, since its origin. Two squares, 109 and 1,0*20, were assigned by the Commissioners of the city, in 1798, as public burial grounds?one in the s western ana tne otner in tne eastern portion oi tnc city?in which those who then died were interred. The bodies of most of the early emigrants, therefore, who died here, are to be found in one or the other of these grave-yards. After u few years a new locality \ was selected, (the present Congressional Burying " Ground,) us being more convenient and better adapt- ? ed for a repository of the dead, than the Eastern one e previously used for that purpose, which, consequent- ? ly, fell into neglect. And though two Commission- a ers and a Sexton are annually appointed, little or ^ nothing is done to keep it in order, or to render it a v desirable place of interment. J By the 7th section of the act of Nov'r 30, 1829, it is made the duty of the Sexton9 of these two grove- u yards to "dress the graves neutly, use due diligence ' to keep the grove-yards, fences, gates, and stiles, from being injured, and to show the place of inter- ' ment of uny person to those who may apply." This * is certainly not done in the Eustern Burial Ground, 13 of the condition of which you so justly coinpiuin; '' but it muy and no doubt has originated from the fact that but few grave-sites are sold?from the sale of which the buriul ground was to be kept in order, as required by the law referred to. It is the duty of the 1 Corporation, however, to prevent these repositories of the dead from presenting such a spcctucle as that Jj in the Eastern section of the city now does. It was not ufttil the year 1807 that any steps were taken by the Corporation to enclose the squares as- t signed by the Commissioners of the city, lor public t burial grounds. Prom 1798 till that time they were { wholly neglected, and unenclosed. Some severe strictures by the writer of this, in that year, culled the attention of the city councils to the neglected "J condition of the public grave-yards of the city, and the law of 1807 was passed. Since that time other squares have been selected for burial grounds, by the ' congregations of the different churches, and the public ones have thus been suffered to full into the ne- e glected condition you describe. I hopo, however, r that this will no longer be suffered, to the disgruce of v our city, and that the Corporation will forthwith* take e the nocesBary steps to restore and preserve them in ; a condition that may be creditable to the character [ of our city, and the feelings of its inhabitants. The present Commissioners and Sexton of the c Eastern Burial Ground (square 1,029) arc, Jas. Mar- 1 shall and John P. Ingle, commissioners, and Thomas 11 J. Barrett, sexton. OLD CITIZEN. J (To the Editor of the National Whig.) " There are those in our midst whose hatred to the gene- a 44 rat (uhninisi ration would induce them to make an open 44 bolt; but they dare not do so." The above is nn extract of a letter dated Niagara, c 29th October, published in the Union, accounting for ^ the defeat of the Democratic candidates at the late 6 election in New York. Is it true that the general v administration are so odious? ' The same letter adds?" But, whatever the result now, with such a candidate as I trust the Demo- *cratic National Convention will present for the Pre- v sidcncy, you may have little fears but that N. York 11 will be herself again, in the fall of 1848," * Is Mr. Ritchie prepared to desert and denounce the Administration? Mr. Randolph said he was n u man of seven principles?" the Jive loaves and two ? fishes." He is notorious for his hatred of minorities, and we are prepared to see him file into ranks under D whoever may be strongest; but we did not expect to see him, so soon, denouncing tho "genera! administration" at this rate!I! Will he tell us why the De- 11 mocrats of New York have such hatred for "the n general administration/" Will he tell us why the Whigs may not disapprove of what the Democrats p hate? We pause for a reply. * mm ? ^ (7b the Editor of the National Whig.)

The company deserves great credit for this manifestation of patriotic feeling, and I trust it will be duly responded to and apprecfa- c ted by the citizens of Washington, as I know it is by |j those who have for years been laboring toaccomplish r the glorious object of erecting a great monument to J the illustrious Father of his Country. A Bull like the i one proposed, and for such a purpose, should, and e 1 have no doubt will, be properly patronized by those i citizens who are in the habit of attending such places ' of amusement. To those who are not, I understand < that that the Euterpcans also design to give n con- I cert for the same patriotic object which it is hoped ] and believed will draw crowds to hear it, not only to I aid the noble object itself, but to receive that gratifi- ' cation which their fine music never fails to afford. WASHINGTONIAN. , A Singular Case.?The Hannibal Gazette says thst young Houghton, one of the Marion volunteers, | was lost on the way from Santa Fe, in a singular * manner. We aro told that when the hunter rides j into a herd of buffalo, it is often the case that they become frightened and the whole mass starts off , with furious speed tor tne mountains, ana mere is no way to get out, but to keep the same speed, and work your way gradually from among thorn; to halt would be certain death as the mass would pass over and crush you, and hunters are often carrid seven ? and ten miles before they can disentangle themsel- 1 ves from the headlong herd. In this way Mr. i Houghton disappeared. When liwt seen he was I flying over the plain endeavoring to make his way out of a drove of several thousand, and has not been heard of since. Julius W. Hitchcock, says the Philidelphi North American a respectable citizen of Tiftin, Ohio, left home in the latter part of July, in the prosecution of 1 his buisncss?that of a cattle dealer?and has not j been heard from since the 24th of September, when he wus at Chatham, Chester country, Pa. He had sold his stock of cattle, and had a large amount of ( money, and hud stated his intention of lenving for | Philadelphia the next day. A man answering his ( description arrived at the Mansion House, Philadelphia, shortly after the above date, deposited his portmanteau, started out to see a friend, was seen, it is { said, near or in one of the city theatres in the evening, but nover returned to the hotel. Mr. Hitchcock was a citizen of great worth and respectability, and his family and friends are in great distress on his ac- . count,?his wife and a friend having started for Philadelphia in search of him. ? ?

Mr. Secretary Marcy would render the country n tiost important service if he wiil condescend to infortn t in what part of the Constitution the Executive is lit powered to establish u temporary civil governnents" in territory conquered by the United States, iere is an order to Gen. Kearny to establish such governments in the territories of New Mexico and Utu Cuiofornia when conquered by him. It is cxracted from u letter written by the Secretary to Gen. Ceurny, under date the 2d of June, 1848, and now iroduced upon the trial of Lieut. Col. Erciiiont. rhore is, therefore, no denying the existence of such ,n order. The Executive, under that provision of the Constiution which makes him commander-in-chief, claims he right and power to administer the Law of Nu ions, m tne waging 01 jusi war ugainst me public noniy. Admitting that the war ugulnst Mexico is a ust war?that is, a war declared by Congress?and hat the"claim of the Executive is in accordance with he letter and spirit of the Constitution, it does not ollow that this right and power to administer the ^aw of Nations give him the right and power to stabiish civil governments in the conquered tcrritoies of the United States. The most that he can do inder the jus gentium is, to establish military govrnments in the territories conquered by the United Look at this order in what light you please?try it Itates. >y all the tests which the Constitution or the Law >f Nations alford?it is clearly an infraction of both he Constitution and the Law of Nations. It is an isurpation of the power of Congress. The whole of he directions given to Gen. Kearny is an ussumpion of legislative power. But, if this order be obnoxious to the Constitution nd the Luw of Nations, what are we to think of the nstruction to Gen. Kearny toossurd' the Now Mexians and Upper Californians that it is the wish and lesign of the United States to provide (or them a free ;overnuient without the least possible delay ? By vhat right did the Executive presume to speak for he United States upon such a subject ? Had he said t was the design and wish of the Executive thut Congress should provide these poople with u free goernmentjjiio objection, perhaps, could have been aken to the instruction. But it will be said, that the Executive represents the United States in war, and bat he had u right to speak their sentiments us he nderstood them to be. Admitting jhis argument, till it remains to be established how and when the 'resident arrived at the.knowledge that such was the entiment of the United States. Altogether this order is in violation not only of the loustitution and the Law of Nations, but an assumplon of power and discretion, which, wc think, canot be justified under any pretence whatever. Temperance Lectcues.?The Bottle, in eight latcs, by George Cruickshank, which we noticed in esterday's paper, would form the subject of eight owerful Temperance Lectures.

Mr. Strong's residence in the same section of the State with the deceased Senator, may perhaps determine the choice of the Governor in his favor.

Singeltury in personally concerned in the matter, we are grutified ut the success which has attended his appeal to the President. We believe him to be a chivalrous soldier, who will distinguish himself whenever an opportunity is presented. Hut, certulnly, the President hue acted most improperly about this affair. We do not question his power in the premises; for, us he can remove, we take it for grunted that he cun ulso rcature. But would any other President have reversed the order of an officer so high in rank us Gen. Wool, who was on the spot ut the time of the occurrence which led to Lieut. Singeltury's discharge, and must therefore be presumed to huvc acted on information satisfactory to his own mind/ Wouid, we suy, any other Pjesident have interfered in the matter, with out examining into the facts of the case, or consulting with Gep. Wool? Mr. Polk's conduct in this business, is a second edition, (< revised und enlarged," (us we Printers say,) of his high-handed assumption of power with regard to the Mutiny in the Mecklenburg and Rowuii Companies, lust winter. It appears to us perfect folly to expect subordination in the army, when the President, by his mere sic rolo, aic jubeo, thus over-rides all military rule and etiquette, und proclaimsfrom the house-tops?" I urn the State!" \ye know not what steps Gen. Wool may deem it proper to take to rebuke this interference by the Executive, but we ure confident Col. Paine will promptly resign his commund, und return home. Naval.?We ieurn, says the Norfolk Herald of yesterduy, that the U. 8. frigute Cumberland, Capt. Jumesson, now at the navul unchoruge, under orders to join Commodore Perry's squadron in the Gulfoi Mexico, has received new orders, to tako the pluce ol the steamer Iris, and proceed first to Chugres, with Commodore Jones and Capt. Stribling, who should reach Panama as early as the 25th to take the British steamer for Valparaiso. The Iris, it is ascertained will not answer this object. After landing the Commodore and Cupt. 8. at Chagres, the Cumberland will proceed to her original destination in the Gulf. The Augusta Chronicle udvocates the re-election ol Mr. John Macpherson Berrien as a Senator from Georgia?an event of which, says the Richmond Whig, we should regret, and such we ore sure is the sentiment of the Whig party throughout the Union, to believe there was the slightest doubt. His commanding talents, his lofty character, und his munly independence have won for him a reputution of which every Georgian has a right to be proud. Georgia, we are aware, has many other uble sons?but is it unjust to say that not one of them is more widely known or mere sincerely honored than Mr. Berrien ? We trust that his post course may he stamped with the approbation' of his political associates, by their unanimous assent to his re-election. Dudango to be Reduced.?The Hannibal (Mo.) Gazette of the 21st ult. says: "Brig, Gen. Price visited our city on Saturday last, and took rooms at the City Hotel, accompanied by lady and son. In u conversation with him, we learned that he would leavo for Santa Pe in November. He has represented to the Department that one thousand men will be sufficient to hold New Mexico, and, as over three thousand men have been concentrated at that point, he thinks the design is to move a detachment against Durango. He has requested permission to do so." Mb. Polk and Mb. Wise.?We find in the New World the following little anecdote of these distinguished persons : Mention hus been made of Mr. Wise's having visited Mr. President Polk since his return. Such an interview must have been extremely interesting to contemplate. They used to hate each other fiercely when fellow members of . Congress. A challenge passed between them, and Wise used to bully Mr. Speaker Polk on all occasions. A friend of ours was present when these two redoubtable personages happened to meet in tho chamber of a portrait painter. Polk was in a sitting attitude when Wise stalked in. The artist, perceiving that the gentlemen did not seem to recognize each other, pleasantly undertook to introduce them. "Mr. Wise," said he, "allow me to make you acquainted with Mr. Polk, of Tennessee." Mr. Polk turned as pale as a white sheet, as Mr. W ise, turning savagely towards him, strutted up from the opposite side of the room and shook his lank, long finger in Mr. Polk's face, so near to his nose that it touched it, exclaiming in his particular tones?" I have mot this creature before!" We learn from the Holly Springs (Miss.) Gazette of the 22d instant that Win. M. Sledge, charged with the murder of Joseph Echols, was taken before the Hon. A. M. Clayton on a writ of habeas corpus, and was admitted to bail in bonds to the amount of $30,000. JjT Edwin Croswell, the veteran editor of the Albany Argus, has announced his intention, after the present campaign, to retire from political life. He holnnopd tn th? hrnnrli of thn I.ornfnros known hh "Old Hunkers," and retires iust at the time whon his party has met with an Irretrievable defeat. Politically, be and his party go out to gether. On the Safe Side.?It is said by one who knows though we do not vouch for the fact, that u young man in New Haven, Conn., of great economy, was accustomed, before his marriage, to ride out with his betrothed, but with the express stipulation, that in case he did not marry her, she should pay ha f the expense of the team. %~V A facetious correspondent of the New York Freeman's Journal, says : II has been written of an nbsolutc monarch that the force of his power is not in what he wills, but "in what he can." In view of this, probubly Old Prince Metternich is understood to have said upon his recent failure in Italy?"The power is not in vat F will, but in Vat-i-can." m mm The Dayton Transcript says that the young whits of Ohio arc determined to elect John W. Van C'i.kvk II. S. Senator, iu place of Mr. Allkn, in order to pit hitn against Dixon II Luwis of Alabama, whom he nearly equals in bulk and weight. (ffommeroal. GEORGETOWN MARKET?November 5.

[t'ontihven.J J, Thubsdat, November4, 1847. After the record hud been corrected, the wltneae P said ho was satisfied. . A paper was presented to Gen. Kearney, and the J Judge Advocate united him if that was the order oftidolly received by him for the establishing of the 10th ? military district. Gen. Kearney said it wuh, and that he had received it from Col. Mason 13th February, 1847, while in Ca iilornia. [The paper was then read.| Another paper was shown to Gen. K., who, on being asked if that was the same which Col. Fremont sent to him, replied that it was. It was dated Cindad De Los Angelos, January 17, 1847, referring General Kearney to Com. Stockton for an explnnutiori of the conduct of the accused in disobeying lite orders o: ? the witness. Gen. Kearney suid also that he had received a com- ? miinication from Col. Fremont, dated January 13, 1846, a supposed mistake for 1847, which he guve to the Adjutant General. The paper was' then read, & stating that California hud surrendered to him (Coi. F.) under command of Don Andre Pico. On the 13th Si of Junuary, he (Col. F.) entered the city of Los An- ? gelos. On the 16th January, an order was sent to _ him in reference to his command, which was signed by Lieut. Emery, but was given by my direction. A paper was here shown to the witness, which he recognized to be the same as that given him by Lt> Emery. Various questions were then propounded to Gen. * Kearney; in unswer to which he suid that he met an ? express on Del Norte, sent by Com. Stockton; but "J ho received no information which induced him tode- W part iVom the orders which were ttlroady in lus pos- ^ session. Ho received information, but not orders, which induced him to make changes in tho disposition of his forces. His object in proceeding to Call- . fornin, after meeting tho express, was to comply with Jr. the instructions which lie had received front the War Department; he wus aiming to reach the lower purl en of Upper California. He was first met by a detach- lo ment from Com. Stockton, at a place called Warnei^s ranche, Agua Culientes; Com. Stockton at that time wus at San Diego; und he, Gen. Kearney, was ?tr about 36 iniles from it. The detachment continued th with him on his march to San Diego. He had uu 1,1 action with the Californians before lie reached there. The force on tho side of the enemy was more than w 160 men, and on the side of the Americans ubout80, j}dragoons and volunteers; the balance of the com- j0 mand was left under Mr. Swords, to protect the bog- Jjj B?Se- vv A question wus asked whether two pieces of can- jo non were not lost, arid subsequently recovered. Jjj Tho President here interposed, and said that he could not perceive the relevancy of these questions. M The Judge Advocate inquired of Colonel Fremont; yj whereupon Col. Fremont asked to be indulged until to morrow li in reply. J'1 And the court adjourned. U, St Friday, novemuer 5. s< After tho reading of the journal of yesterday, the Judge Advocate presented a paper relative to the ev- st idonce of Col. Fremont, &c. [? The Judge Advocate thought it advisable to receive u the paper of Col. Fremont, which was accordingly u done, in which he stated that some cannon were lost K< at San Pasqual by Gen. Kearny, and that they were ^ retaken by himself (Col. F.) at Coungua, ottd that no report of such achievement had boen made by | Gen. Koarney. Now, said he, the losing of cannon | is always attended with the deepest regret on the B part of the loser, but the retaking is one of those mil- . itary achievements which deserves the highest ap- ,jt plause. That this concealment showed decidedly 11 the temper of Gen. Kearny towards him. Thut his R arrest hud been contemplated seven months before fj 11 IOOK. pittUO. m After Col. F. had finished his paper, the court was qt ordered to be cleared, at 11 1-2 o'clock, p. m. ? The Judge Advocate stated, in the reading of a pa- n per no evidence is thought by the court to have a J bearing upon the question that does not tend to disprove some assertion, or affect some witness. He also stated that an imputation of malice towards Col. (1 Fremont was brought against Gen. Kearney. V Gen. Kearney stated that there was no question T which the accused could put, but what he (Gen. K.) would fullly answer. Judge Advocate: Did you lose a cannon at San a Posquul, which, being retaken by Col. Fremont, was w never reported to you. [f Gen. Kearny: The dragoons under command of lui Capt. Moore had two howitzers near the close of the Hu uctlon when the Callifornians had been routed and T were retreating, the officers in charge of the howitzers ordered them to the front, and before they could J! be turned and arranged so us to be fired upon the retreating enemy, the two mules before one of theni Tl took fright and ran away, and by that means came lo across to us. r<* . In December an expedition orgunlzcd at San Die- n go to march to Los Anglos to assist Col. Fremont, th and was organized in consequence of this paper j?1 which 1 here present, which was n letter to Com. jJJ Stockton, duted ce San Diego, Dec. 2, 1846, and signed by GEN. KEARNY. ta General Kearny resumed, as followsUp to that time, Com. Stockton was acting as governor of Cul- |jj ifomia. He had at Son some two or three c ships of the Pacific squadron which he commanded. The sailors und marines were on shore, except enough r to take care of the ships. This expedition being determined upon, on the 29th of December, the troops were prepared to march. The troops consisted of about 600 sailors and marines, about 60 regulars, and J,' 40 or 50 volunteers.
