3/<u vuau He pit bit': an, BA fjT t MOR K CLIPPE& TIU'R 'DAY MORNING, DEC. 31 1846. ' GOVERNOR 1 ! MESSAG*. We published ii yesterday's paper, so full an abstract ol lim ducu wiit, n to render ii unnecessary to insert it in i xloiiso. The most important portion ol (he'messago'is that which relates to the fmari eiai condition of the SUte, which is represent' ed'tis prosperous beyond our anticipations; th Tecoiptsof the year having been $#18,162 whilst the whole current expenditures, includ ing interest on the State debt, aro given at $861,821. This would leave a surplus ol $06,631. If, as is proposed in the message, the interest due bo funded on tlin lirst of July next, to tlio amount of $ 1,200 000, tiro above sur plus will nearly pay the interest which will thus accrue on the newly funded debt, at the rate ol six per cent—a rate of interost which justice demands should bo adapted—for the State has no right to compel any creditor to re ceive less than legal interost upon iris debt.— It will be thus seen, that the present laws pro vide ample revenue to authorize the legislature to fix a day for the resumption of payment; and wo hope that there will be no further de lay upon this subject. For this happy result Governor Pratt deserves groat credit; for it is by bis independence and firmness, mainly, that the Stale is placed in its present prosperous condition. Ho pointed, with a fearless hand, to sources uf revenue which were considered by many of bis political friends, as of doubtful propriety, and of course lie did not escape cen sure lor the boldness of hts recommendations. Happily lie was sustained by the intelligent and indefatigable chairman of the committee of ways and means, (John Johnson, Esq.) and, as a consequence, wo have now a fair prospect of seeing old Maryland resuming her station among the honorable States of the Union. Wo think that it may be safely calculated, that the revenue tor tlio ensuing year, w ill ex ceed that of the past, as we have no donbt there will be u considerable iucrcnse of re ceipts from works of internal improve ment: so that payment being once resumed, we shall have no apprehension that suspension will again become necessary. Whilst the peo ple of the State aro thus engaged in sustaining the public faith, they will have the consolation to know, that, by the operation of the sinking fund, (lie principal of the debt is being rapidly liquidated—and that the whslo amount will be discharged in about thirty years. We con gratulate our fellow citizens on the brightened prospects of the State, and upon the death blew which has been given to repudiation. "Oi.i> AND WELL TRIED FRIENDS." WC might well be excused for not submitting to be catechised b\ uuanonymous Washington corres pondent, although he approaches us under the guise of one of our "old and well-tried friends," but as the burthen of ins communication is our inconsistency, wc tin k proper to let him be heaul. lie says: "Youi inconsistency lies in this: that for years you have condemcd the thirst for increas ed territory stimulated by the Democrats; you warmly opposed the annexation of Texas as wrong; you feared (and as since shewn, right ly i that it would load to luither invasions of J foreign Letritory, and you have judged the country tuo young for the indulgeuco of a grasping spirit and policy. JVoie you applaud j tho President for commencing a war with- ] cnt first being authorized in the lawful and constitutional way, and you sweepingly con demn all inquiry into the causes of this Execu-; tive war thus unconstitutionally set on loot, as : Unpatriotic and unjustifiable. "Your 'statement of facts'is thus easily used up. Either tho claim of Texas to all the ler- j ritory East of the llio Grande from soureo to mouth, and West of the Nueces, was good, or it was not. If it was GOOD, then, why did the I President send Gen. Kearney to capture the province of Now Mexico, with its capital, San ta Fe, and why did tho message announce this capture of a territory already Texian, and th. irefure American, as a new conquest? "If the claim of Texas was BAD, then tho commencement of the war by tho orders of the President to occupy the valley of tho llio Grande was unjustifiable towards Mexico as well as unconstitutional towards the United States, and tlio Pre ident must be adjudged guilty of originating an unjust war, and this unjust war you would liavo our country vigor-1 ously to piosecute." That wo opposed the annexation of Texas, and argued against the encouragement ofa dis- j position to grasp teriilory, is certainly true; and it is equally true, that we havo never changed our sentiments upon these points . Wo believe now, as we have believed hereto-j fore, that the annexation of'Tc-xas was an un wise stop, calculated to bring the coentiy into , difficulty. Hut the deed has been done. Tex as has become a State of the Union; and all ar-; gumcnts based upon the impolicy of its admis sion, would be clearly now inapplicable.— Could wc have kept her out of tlio Unien, we should have done so; but, being once admitted,; she is as much entitled to the protection of the general government as any other State. So much on that point. The next objection to our course is, that we , justify the President for commencing a war without constitutional authority. We deny that we have justified any such act, or that any such act has been committed. Con-; gress lias solemnly declared, that the war was produced by Mexico, and not by the President; and men and money were voted to enablo him to prosecute it. But suppose, that, by an im proper movement en the part of the President, ivar had been produced; would the writer have ■s desert our country and support the enemy?; If be be really a patriot, be could give no such advice; and, if given, it most assuredly would net he taken. There is this slight difference between the writer and ourselves. What lie cells "an Executive war," we regard as a na tional war, and hence we consider all that may be written, spoken or done, which ean enceur age the enemy to persevere in hostilities, as but of place end injurious to the country. The writer next proceeds to dispose vf 'ju; I "stdteinenl of liict=," heretofore tarnished in ' reply to a firmer article—and ho assorts that they are "e isily used up;" but in this '.ve np ■ prehend lie will find himself somewhat tni-la j ken Notwithstanding tho assumption, by Texas, of a boundary lino fro :i the mouth to n tho source ol the R o Grande, (includ lig San la Fa, kc ,) that boundary has never been lo rt j cognized by the United States. Certain por )t-, lions of the line have been recognized; but tho ! i United States, in the act ndinitiing Texas as a ! 1 State, lias expressly reserved the right to settle ' the boundary ii no with Mexico. I exas never , ; exorcised any authority in New Mexico. It l_ 1 was notoriously under the government of Mex i ieo. and in the possession of Mexicans; and it j- was therefore just and propar that it should bo attacked and taken. Wo have no doubt that t I now that it lias been conquered, Texas would gladly embrace it w ithin her limits; but we II hope that it may not bo thus or otherwise an j nexed to tho United States Permanent an l( | nexatien does not ncceasarily follow the estab lishment of a temporary government, and wc presume, that, on tho conclusion of peace, this territory will be restored to Mexico. Indeed, wc hope that not a foot of tho Mexican empire will bo retained by virtue of conquest. We cannot see wherein wo have been guilty ' of any inconsistency by urging a vigorous pro secution ofthn v/ar —on the contrary, from the moment when tho first blow was struck, we havo uniformly urged the necessity of carry ing on tlio war with tho utmost vigor, as the H surest means oi obtaining a speedy peace.— I I And, whether the boundary claim of Texas be I good or bad—or the Presiuent guilty or inno cent of "originating an unjust war," our ad vice would be tho same; for, whenever we are I engaged in hostilities with a foreign power, we shall, wo trust, be always found on the side of our country. I The writer will see, from what wc have said, ! that there is r.o necessity to publish the balance of Ins communication, embracing an extract from a Texan paper, which lias appeared in various papers. Wo havo no expectation that , we can please every body, and shall, therefore, shape our course to please ourselves. If we have spoken too favorably of tho President's message, to suit the taste of some persons, we | liavo at least uttered our honest sentiments, and hence are the more regardless of censure. We hopo that we have satisfied the writer that we havo preserved a consistent course; but . if we have failed, wo ms.-t be content with hav ing satisfied ourselves. LETTER FROM SANTA ANNA. The editor of the Courier des Flats Unislias been shown two letters from Mexico, one of which is from San" ta Anna and the other lroni Almonte to a ' friend in New York. The former writes from 1 Saint Luis de Potosi on the 24th Nov., and is i a contradiction of the report that he had gone to Victoria. He had no such intention, arid scorns to have made up his mind with firmness j and prudence. He says, "I believe firmly the 1 probability of success is with us, (Mexicans,)" j , and his whole letter boars the mark of dignity 1 and patriotism . He expresses his determina tion not to end the war but with honor to his country. Not otherwise important, the letter ! is curious, as it was written fur a privato eye and not to be published. I COLONEL OF THE BALTIMORE H ATTALION. A letter received in this city on Tuesday night, 1 from Capt. Kenly, of tho Baltimore Battalion, i • at Monterey, Mexico, stales that a meeting of j ; the officers of the Battalion had been held, and ) had recommended the appointment to Gene : ral Taylor, of Major B.

Among her passen gers are, Mr. Elins Van Rossen, of tho brig Brazil, late of this city, which lias boon sold at Rio, and several invalid seamon from tho American squadron at Rio. The Saratoga encountered a violent gale oft' Capo Horn, and had all her sails split into ribbons. THE COVENANT —a Monthly Magazine, de voted to Odd Fellowship and General Litera ture.

Gen. Patterson says I | that he has given orders to the United States, Quartermaster, to furnish Mr. Mills with eve. ry facility and transportation. Tho citizens op Baltimore and Maryland feel profound grati lede to tiie gallant General for his considerate i kiedness and sympathy. VERDICT IN THE VAN NESS CASE.

A short time ' ago, some workmen, while digging a well in Giorgia, near the Florida line, found, about 30 feet from the surface, a human body cum j plctely turned to chalk. CITY INTELLIGENCE, i The remains of Lieut. Cochrane. A commit* Ko ol five gentlemen, one of them a brother of j the gallant deceased, arrived in this city yes , terday morning, for the purposo of conveying | the remains of Lieut. Cochrane to Columbia, Pa., his native place. They will leave this i morning at 9 o'clock in the cars by the way of I York, and will ho escorted to the depot by the | Junior Artillerists, Capt. McDowell, the Eagle ' Aitillerists, Lieut. Col. Kane, and deputations ] from other companies. We understand that j the military of York, wilt receive the remains with all due honors, on the arrival of the cars. As there has been no minute account of the manner in which Lieut. Cochrane teceived his death published, and it will probably he inter esting at this time, wo make the following ex j tract from a letter written by G. V. H.dlor, at I Matamoras, to Thomas E Cochrane, E-q , of I York, Pa., in which full details are given.— The letter says, "We were marching towards our Fort, (on tho 9th of May,) opposite Mata moras. The 4th Infantry penetrated the chap peial on the right of tho road as it advanced; its last orders wore—"charge tho battery."— The party of about 30, to which Lieut. Coch rane belonged, charged across the Resaca (wa tering place,) and captured tho cannon. Their direction then lay towards the road, but the en emy presented themselves in force and seemed resolved to force then, hack and recover their artillery. The enemy at length retired, and a small parly of our men—not ever a dozen— , entered tho open space, in which was deposited all the subsistence, stores and baggage of the Mexican army. The enemy hastily disappear ed, and the American band rushed out on the ' road, when they were repeatedly charged by the Lancers. They were enabled to cope with llio superior numbers of the enemy's Lancers, by rustling into the chnpperal at their charge, and tiring upon them as they passed. The bursts generally recoiled lirnui tho fire, and rusheci thiough tho opposite thickets. In one of these sudden charges, Lieut. Cochrane un fortunately concealed himself in the chapporal on the opposite side, and when at tiie fire of the Americans, the Mexicans dashed through ! the thicket close by him, the unerring thrusts j of their practised Lanoers, cut short his glori ous career. He was stabbed with the lance in a number of places, and also shot, either of j which wounds would have proved mortal." I Splendid Building. Wo porceive that the [ large and splendid building, erected by Mr. \ Lee, on the south-east corner of Buiti- j more and Calvert stroets, is rapidly advancing towards completion. The unsightly scaffold ing has been removed and tho side pavements are being put down, a vas' improvinent to its outward appearance. When finally finished, ! it will be one of the most beautiful and sub- ] stantial buildings of the kind in Baltimo/E. The "Stockton Artillerists " This fine co-ps | I from Maueh Chunck, Pa., under Capl. Mil ler, whose arrival we noticed yesterday morn ing, stopped at the "National" and "Commer cial" Hotels, Pratt street, and proceeded in tho early train of cars for Cumberland, en rente for Pittsburg, to join their regiment. Case for Courf. Officer Small yesterday ar j rested George B Marlin, charged with as , saulting and beating Charles W. Beach. Mar- j j tin was also held under a warrant to keep tho j j peace towards his brother. Justice Wright j ' committed him to appear at court. | A Smash. A four horso wagon was run in- J |to yesterday morning by a burthen car, in! J Pratt street, near Chcapside, and broken to j I pieces. One of* the horses was knocked down, | and quito seriously hurt. The accident is j wholly attributable to the culpable carelessness ol the driver of the car. who could have avoid- j ' ed the collision if he had endeavored to do so. J I Improving. We aro-pleasod to learn, that; Mr. Hiram Cranston, ot the Kutaw House, was considered yesterday to be slightly mending, j and that the hopes of Ids recovery are better, j j A gradual improvement appears to be tukingj place, which we sincerely hope will restore him to his friends and family again. l # 1 Grand Ball OP TIIK I.

Dr. Wm. A. Shaw, of Washington I),. (\, writes under date of May I, 1840, us follows: ••1 have heard of many cases of decided beneficial effects from its use, especially in Astlnna and chronic cough of spasmodic character. I have used the Wild Cherry a great deal in practice, and with marked good results in those cases of great nervous mobility, ami ir ritability, to which phthisical patients are subject. 1 have no doubt it C the best form in which the effects of PrusHO acid may he had as a sedative on the constitu tion without danger to the patient. Every one knows the reputation of the Turpentine and Balsam constitu ents in protracted coughs. The combination of these principles in Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry is inge nious and judicious.
