If it had been a lo cofoeo " legislature, they would have been de nounced for a set of demagogues, afraid to lake the ie.ponililHy.

Thi.-, ha.-, been, no doubt, owing more lo the fact that the commanding General is claimed as a politician of the whig school (if he i any politician at all) than to any lark of desire on the pan of the opposi tion to find fault. There was at first, some grumbling about the lack of means of trans portation on the Rio Grande, aud the absence of ponton biidges, uhich would have (said I 1. 1 . . 1 i ... tue.se giuiiiuit--- cuaoieu lien, Tailor lo pur- i sue and cut off the enemy, after the battles of 'wok ,,e,v,,,,t- 8, ""expected au event. of its destruction. It would be like blotiiug oul the nation. If not lcfoie obtained, we look to the fall of ihe Capital as Ihe blow which gives u- peace; but beyotid that we cau not look. We cau see no'.hing beyond that to hope for, un less we hnxler out (he territory to the Dutch and olher nations, or lake possession of the whole ; either of which would hardly suit the lasle of the people of ihe U. States. So that it the fall of ihe Capital brings no peace, the American government will be non plussed; or al least brought lo a stand, what next to do. As wo said bef.

Of course' lliev will be ietn-ied. the Sih ami 9th May. But these were like the cavillings of a moment made without reflec tion : for ii is well understood by those who look at ihe subject in its true light, thai in a republican government, the plans and mea- --u.es of war are lardy. The President, nn like a king, cannot expend the public funds at his disnetion 5 he cannot, on the momeul lhat he sees what ought 10 lie done, issue his oidei for its accomplishment. Hw sugges. Iiousantl recommendations must go through the tedious f.oms of dehbe at ive leishriou. So it was in r eg nd lo the Ponton bridges : the Secretary of War called for them in his Report, wh(u these difficulties with Mexico wete fi'4 anticipa'ed ; but Congiess would take no action ; and so it is always: until a thing is actually wanted called for by a iiecesny which admits of no denial, Con-gie-s will lake uo steps for furnishing it; and even when they do, the lime they expend in talking about it, "eneralU amounts lo as much if not more lhau the apptopi ialiou they make. Nor could (Jen. Taylor have f Mowed up his successes of the S;h and 9;h, if be bad l.een a possession of the bridge; for we picsiime his lorco was uol adequate lo such an under- 1. iking, which would have scattered them and hi id them li.ible lo be cut off. Ceueially speaking, ihe nhole country ap peals be very well satisfied with the man ner in which the war has been prosecuted ; the public geueially, of both paitie?, appear lo he sati-lied that thi- Picsident has given it nil the vigor aud a'deuiion iti his powei ; and that Ihe 29th Congiess with al.not unanim ous voice, voted him al theii fiiat session, the meau- then needed. But lalteily, we observe that a democratic papei in Kiedeii. ksbmg, juid peihaps otie or two other papeis, expie-s much dissatisfaction at the ampaigus ol (ieneiaN Kea-ney and X ool. They .-ay that nothing has been ac-compli.-hed by these officers lovvaids "con queiing a peace;" and that it was folly to send uo anny in lhat direction. It may be ihat these compl.iiuts ate justly founded. The President, however, no doubt had ;n object in iew )u sending tioops m thai fjuaitei; and that object we believe, from what has been made public, was lo obtain and retain military poses-iiou of lhat portion of the Mexican territory which it was, and .still is, supposed will have lo bo seized by the United State as au indemnity for the expen ses of the war, as well as or the amount which the United States will have to pay theii citi zens on the refusal of Mexico to pay them, tieing a debt t.f some twelve millions of dol lars. Al the ame time, it most be recollected that Geueial Kearney bad only 4000 men, with which he marched into Saula Fe. Cer tainly it was a long aud dreary march; aud he lound a poor coontiy, and no enemy of nerve lo oppose bin. He defeated no army, and probably did no injury lo ihe Mexican gov ernment, moie than Ihe taking of thai small town. Gen. Wool hid, it we recollect well, uol so large a foice, with which tin took tin oiher long and bloodless match. caotu in a a ri.Aiu: UP AT RIO. Cut i foi H ia eg tinea. The brig Reindeer arrived at New Yolk on the 13th iii-l, biingino as passenger, Capl. Turner, of the California irgiinent, w ith de-Kiii-hes for ""innmpiit. The iVee ships which took out ih regiment fiom New Ymk for CalthVnii, in November Uvt, ar'ived at Rio )e J.iueiro, on Jhe 2Uth November, all well, and th ee births on the parage. A few days before the ariival of the Califor nia irgiment, two Ameiican seamen of the dnop -far Sioatopn. g.t into a difficulty w i'h Mime citiin-5 of" ibe place, irud were iopri oneii. 'I he American iniufsfer in f!uzil, Mr Wisp, immediately inleiceded for theii i l-ase, but not succeeding, at once dcmanJvd them, under a threat that he would order the Sarato ga and Colurnbus then iir port, to lire on the fowi?. It was at this juncture of affairs, that the. whole California icimenl arrived, which so frightened the Brazilians lhat they released the seamen. WILMINGTON AND CHARLESTON STEAMER. We notice in the Charleston Courier, the statement of Capt. H. W,lsn, who was o passenger on Ihe steamer Vandetbilt from Wilmington to Cbatleslon on the 7th inst He says lhat at about 1 1 o'clock at niht, the boal had lo put back to Smithville on account of bad weather and insufficiency of wood; that he went below lo examine her, and to his utter astonishment, found her more like & condemned old wreck than a steamer fit to carry ihe U. S. mail." The wardens fur the port of Charleston nUo condemned her upon examination on the 15th inst. The port war dens of W ilmiug'on had the day before pro nounced her sea-worthy. There ought to be travel enough on that line to enable the company (o keep boats safe beyond all dispute. lew sm ill town-;, and liim!4y loimiug a junc Hon with Gen. I ay lor. Well; al the time these movements weie made upon the not th ern provinces of Mexico, it would have been imprudent So have sent these forces, or any fou-es, o ihat pari of Mexico lying upon the Gulf; for il would have been like sending them to theii graves; iheiebVe it was thai Ihe Piesideni detei mined that in .-lead of making n immediate movement for the Capiial, he would operate in ib-il pail of Mexico not sub ject to disease, and in the mean lime, have a force organized in the U. Slates, ready lo move upon the Gnlf towns aud the Capital, in the hd! and winter. Already is oie itn poitant town on Ihe Gulf in our p?ssesion, aud ti e f-.rces under Gen. Tay lor a-e ma uceavi inj- jh a view of opening a communi cation between lhi-i town (Tatnpico) and Ihe other towns in i,ur possession, on, and south of, the Rio Grande. In ihe meati lime, forces are collecting on the Rio Giaude, and al ampi-o, w iih an ultimate object, wp presume, ol atfa. King the Mexican army at S.111 liis Polosi, whir h iionv stands as trie 0:1 1 y bairiei of imp glance, iu the shape of a fortified town, between onr lorces ond the city of Mexico. We presume that as soon as the desired number of troops can be obtained, the town of Vera Cruz will be assailed bv th by laud and sea; and this may possibly tako place be fore au Luis is attacked. The great aim and object of the President is now to capture these minor towns and concentrate the army for a g-and seige at ihe cily of Mexico, be fore ihe sickly season comes on iu ihat cnuu liy, which is we believe about the month of June. Bui the tardiness with which this last requisition for troops has been filled, begins lo make it a litlle doubtful if the object can be accomplished; and this we have no doubt, from our private accounts, grcally perplexes the President. Indeed, it should be a mailer of regret to ihe whole coimtry; for if our army by this tardiness should be so delayed as to postpone its operations iu ihe lower pails, of Mexico utitil the summer, we fear that grim disease will strike more terror lo their ranks than at ,h0 Mexican my cold do. . J ""PP0j,ed as a matter of course, that lithe Mexican government will not come to terms before that time, that upon the fall of its Canual ll;!o ,be haodi of he Ameficaii?j f tn Hi en be oblistd to irmi rn only thing that cau bar this conclusion is, lhat the Mexicans will destroy their Capital and NORTH CAROLINA REGIMENT. The Field Officers. We stated List week, that ihe appoiutmenl of field officers to the North Carolina Regi . meni nan neen given lo the Governor by ihe Legislature, instead of to the Regiment it self, by election. We cannot sanction this course of the Le gislature. We look upon it as a politico trick, unworthy of honorable legislators Prom ihe time that the requisition was inndi up 10 within a few days of adjournment, did ihey debate a bill providing for an election by ihe Regiment ; but it becoming apparent that if it were left to the regiment, a whig would not be elected, the whig party in cau cjs, determined lhat the commander of th regiment should be a whig, aud they therefore whipped into the measure such as were lib dally disposed, aud gave the Governor the power lo appoint. The spoils-haling .-entry could not let such offices - lip through their fiu- gers ; they clutched them wiih a death-grasp l hey knew that if the election went to the re giment, Gen. Wilson would be elected ; be cau-e his patriotism in steonino fo-w--rt U-xA 1 r to -" - ,iui. raised fwo companies in his county; aud this added to his accomplishment as an officer aud a "cuilernan. entitled him in tho maud; aud public opinion had settled upon him as the man. And we think we hazard nothing in saying thai public opinion has been outraged by this action of ihe Legislature, and also by the subsequent " action of the Ex ecutive. The whig patty have denounced the wan and called with a loud voice upon the dem ocrats lo fight it out; and now that the dem ocrats have come out (lor neaily every company is fiom a democratic county, aud we venture to say that four. fifths of the meu are democrats) the whig paity have presumed to deny these men Ihe right lo choose their o.vu officers, and worse slill, to take lo themselves the h"UOs aud emoluments. We do de nounce it as shameful trickery. And further, with ail due deference to the judgment of His Excellency, wo would ask what claim has IVIr Kobt. Treat Paine, or Mi John A. Fagg to ibe appoiutineut of Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel. We cannot kun 10111 auv source lhat either of them au mil!. lary men, or are acquainted wiih eveti Ihe fiist tudiments of military knowledge. Nor are either of them volunteers. And upou this point, we do contend, that it among tho volun teers, there were men capable of filling these offices, they should have received them. And eveiy body knows iheie wete such men among tru in. We have nothing to say against Mr Paine. We onderstand that he is a gentleman of good sense, di-cret ion and courage. Of Mr Fagg we know nothing except lhat be is from Buu combe county, and got his office through western influence. Oui infoiina iou of last Saturday, in regard to Ihe app iutieut of Major, was incorrect, as it a-ppeurs that Momtord Sidney Stokes, son of ihe lale Governor Stokes, has received it. He i a democrat has beeu to West Point Academy, aud may therefore be pre sooied to know something of tactics. He has also tiavelled extensively, and speaks ihe Spanish language. We learn lhat he held a commission in the U. S. Navy for a sh rl lime. But we do hope lhai this trick to give the honors aud emoluments of ibis legiment to whig, after railing ops mi the democrats to do ihe fighting, will recet e the condemnation il so tichly deserves from both patties. rETERSliURtJ. Who can but admire the pa triotism and liheiahty of !h town of Petersburg, ancieiuly ihe ' cockade town " if there is praise due .my br-re, U r patriotic promptness, valor, and J.lje:a it,ih- pi t;le ol Feteisburg deserve it.

The New York correspond ent of the Union says, " ihe antipathy to the inde pendent treasury is fcist dying out. i-ZrA n emi nent whig merchant but recently pablkly express ed his opinion that, whig as he w as, the evils of l lie independent treasury, specie c'ause and all, weie far less than the connexion of the fcauks with the trcasurj." WHIG PATRIOTISM. The cily gov ernment of Albany refused lo appropriate a single dollar for the volunteers; and in ihe Massachusetts Legislature, a lesolutiou to appiopriaie $20,000 lo ihe volunteer regiment of that Slate, was laid on the laWe by 171 lo 61, says the N. Y. Sun. 5We are requested to say that the state ment made last week, that the. Henrietta steam boat company tendered a fiee passage lo ihe volunteers to Wilmington, was ao eiror. We believe, however, no charge was made, or fare received by the company. Lucius P. Beck, democrat, has been elected to Congress from Vermont. Is Ver mont turning democratic too? 2j Congress 2d Session. - he Senate on Thursday the 14ih Jan., Mr Benton report d from the Committee on Military Affairs, ihe bill passed by the House for increasing the army by theciealiou often "g-menis of legukoly enlisted troops. Mr Benton reported an amendment makiug one "f" the fen regiments riflcmcu, should the IWdem think proper. The amendment was agreed to. Mr Cameron offered another amendment, giving a quarter section of laud to everv offi cer and soldier who shall serve duiiii" ihe war. This amendment was opposed by Mr Beiitou and others ; in fact, 110 one- seemed toadvocale it but the mover. After consid erable talking, the bill was postponed till au other day. ri-i . ... -me bill t0 crea.e a Lieutenant General was then taken up, and Mr Hix delivered his views al length on the subject, and in favor of Ihe appointment. He said thai heretofore, ihe different Geu erals, Kearney, Wool, Taylor, &c, had beeu acting iu separate and diswnt commands; but that now Ibey weie about lo concentrate, ami would be brought together ; ibal there would be four Major Geueials iu the field, aud the only ihiug 10 determine between them as to who should be entitled !. the chief command, would be ihe priority uf commissions. Thi-' -..gueu mr uix, was a matter of delicate im poil, and might, as past events had demon strated, lead to feelings among these officers and the subordinate--, that would seriously in jure ihe vigorous prosecution of ihe war. He said that the numerical forces to be called together were far greater lhau any forces ever belore brought together in this couulry under the command of a Major General; and he be lieved lhat an officer a grade above a Major General ought to be created to command them. In ihe House, the bill to provide a territor ial government for the Oregon territory, was under discussion. Mr Buil of South Caro lina, spoke at considerable length against the clause iu ihe bill which prevents slavery in Oregon. lie showed ihat such a clause was unconstitutional, and biought some strong ar guments lo support bis position. Indeed, arguments which cannot be answered. Tbe bill was debated until adjournment. 1 11 ihe Senate on the ldtb, ihe bill for the increase of tbe army, was agaiu lakeu up. and numerous amendments were offered and ordered to be primed ; and the bill was post-poned. The bill to create a Lieutenant General was then taken up again, and Mr Badger re plied to Mr Dix: Mr Badger said, if ihe of fice be created, it must be filled eilher by ihe present commanding General, or by some junior officer, or by some private c itizen. Me thought that General Taylor could do no more as a Lieutenant treneral than as a Maj. General ; lhat he had so far conducted suc cessfully the operations of the whole force, and lhat to place a junior officer or a citizen Iron private tile over him, would be injurious, and even insulting to General Taylor. He said lhat although tho title had been bestowed upon (general Washington at a time when difficulties were anticipated with France iu J itwas ootie because be wasGen. Wash ington, and as a personal compliment : but there is now no Washington. He believed such a step would give dissatisfaction to the whole army, &c. &c. &c. Mr Mangurn then moved to lay the bill upon the table, which was carried by 2S to 21, nil the whigs aud Messrs Butler, Calhoun, and Yulee, democrats, voting for, and all the other democrats voting against it. In the House, on the same dav, the bill to provide a territorial government for Oregon, was taken up, and numerous amendments were flered. The House adjourned with out taking the question. In the Senate on the 16 h, Mr Benton of. fered a bill making grants of land to soldiers who shall serve during the war. The bill was read twice, and after some debate laid over, and tbe bill lo increase the rtrmy was taken up, and deflated, which resulted in re committing Ihe bill fo the committee on mili tary affairs, with instructions to tepoit it back with au amendment giving 160 acres of laud to sofdfers and officers who serve during ihe war, which will obviate the necessity of the bill offered by Mr Benton. - In the House, on the same day, Ihe Oregon nil was again under discussion ; aud was finally passed by 133 lo 35. fCP The following appointments hive been made by the new Board of Commissioners)! for the ensuing year: Win Warden, Town Treasurer, Joseph Arey, Special Justice, John Al Stednnn, Director of Patrol, Win L, Ca lais, Town Constable F M.,re, Clk Market and Asst T Constable.
