A Valuable Estate
IN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE IN
MARKET.
T AM anxious to sell cither a portion, or the whole of
my land, upon the Rapid Anne River, in the county
of Orange. Thin Estate is esteemed hy those who
know it, equal, if not superior, to tiny in ttiin region; its
assessed value is as high as auy iu the county. Tliis?
Tract in supposed to contain about tiou acres, and 1 am
willing to sell either the whole, or 300 acres, without
the buildings; if divided, a full proportion of timber
could be allotted to each part. Adjoining this Inst 300
acres, there aie also 90 acres of very valuable timbered
land, which enn be had. The two united, would form
a most desirable Farm. Owing to the excessive drought
of the past Summer, my lands do not present their
usual growth of grass; yet their line adaptation to gia*s,
to all grain crops, and to tobacco, is well known in this
vicinity. There are tiO acres of the richest low grounds,
and on one part of this a deposits from the livrr, stilfi
cient toenrich at least 500 acre?. Its qualities have been
tested with a result altogether satisfactory. The dwel
ling on tbis Farm has been consumed by lire, but the
walls ate still good, and can be fully repaired at a cost
of S60, the contract price offered by an excellent work
man. These walls are 31 feet l.y 4(1 feet, two story,
with an excellent cellar. The cost of wood work must
depend upon its execution. The timber, however, Is
abundant on the land, and there arc two Saw Wills,
distant less than "lie mile. The contiguity of these Saw
Mills, two Grist Mills, a large Flouring Mill and flourish
ing Woollen Factory, must add essentially to the con
venience and value ol' this Estate. The location is
such, that it cannot bo made a pass way, and is pecu
liarly removed from annoyances of all kind. The
river has been surveyed, and a company is now form
ing, with most flattering prospects of opening naviga
tion from lh<* Fui'ui u? Fxrdeticksbuits and >'? distance
from Goidoiieville llepot of i.ouisa Kuilroad is only 12
miles. The buildings now standing are an excellent
K'tclien. with four rooms, a Meat House, a Dairy, a
large Framed Stable, a Karn, Com and Tobacco Houses,
and necessary N< gro Cabins. 'J he riaideti is produc
tive, and the Yard beautiful, ivlth an extensive moun
tain view. My terms are one-third cash, residue in one
and two years, with or without interist, as may be
i agreed between myself and the purchaser. An utiques
! tionable title will tie conveyed.

IN making this annountt ment, Mrs. N. deems it pro- |
per to state briefly the principle*on which her School [
i* conducted.
To enable a young lady to occupy suitably hi;r proper
place in st cicty, a cerium style of personal address and
manner is indispensable; such manners, however, an*
often merely external, and not seldom lead to painful
exposure, ui.los* sustained by thorough and judicious !
mental cultivation; end this agifin exhibits iis highest
and most beautiful effects only when guided and eleva- I
ted by a pure morality, founded upon the religion oi the
Hiblo. '
The due and well balanced cultivation then or the
heart, and ol the intellect, guided l?y the influences of
ihe Christian religion, is the great object aimed at in |
tins Seminary, and to insure the attainment of iIim by j
her pupils, Mrs N. brings a long and well-earned e*|>e- ,
lie nee, an intimacy with the best authorities and I
sources of information, and the assistance of the most
competent teachers in Hie various branches of study.

Monday Morning, September 28,
"THE ADMINISTRATION AND GENERAL TAY
LOU.?'The Administration appears resolute m .jj,
termination to assail the hero ol the Kin Gtande. Ala
tirnn when every patriotic heart in the land throb* with
admiration and gratitude toward* the gifted and gal
lant Taylor, the parasites of the President are endea
voring, by injurious insinuation and cowardly inuendo, j
to dutract from the glory so well and woithjly w.>n.
Having escaped the conspiiacy, to sacrifice him and his ?
army on the Kto Grande he m i iiitmrrassed, clogged
and crippled by the malice or imbecility ol' lh?* War |
Depariment, nnd llirn meanly assailed in the Union, tor |
want ol' energy. Doubting hope- ate expressed that lie j
will maintain I,is rcpniation, am! false intimations a-o !
eiven that the Country in impatient it his delay The ;
Union knew that litis latter nsseniou was wholly tin- |
founded; for, except Washington. no nlfirer lias ev.r, j
ina greater degree, pos-essed the confidence of the :
country. The Kichnioiid Hnijulrer, the tender of the
L'lllon, is bolder In its opposition. That print |ittbli?hefi, I
anil, then-fore, sanctions,a letter said to lie from a 'sal- j
lant otlWr and native of Virginia,' In which the writer ;
?a>>: 'Duncan is looked upon by tie army here a.-ihrrrnl !
Iitro of the battle of Palo Alt"' VVe ventitie to as
sert, that tiie gallant ollicer and nativ.* of Virginia has j
uttered a wilful calumny. AIiiohi every letter received j
from the seat of war, speaks of l.'eyiu! Taylor with ;
the nu>st burning enthusi i*m Thia paltry attempt <o i
?n?lelt liio laurels from I lie vrturrfiTV^Brow, to renter
them upon one of his ollii.ers, i- a baseness which t'.ip- |
tain Duncan would !>?? the tilst to ile-jise and lie- 1
liounce."
We extractthe whole of the above sxtravagant
article Horn the lJlii'at'elphia Norih American. |
whose ire is so tnuch aroused at tin impudence
of the Democrats in touching his tailing "p:o
tection," and whose mortification a! he ntier lail
uie ol the Tarill "panics" is so ill-coi coaled, that
it cuts and slashes away at the Aduiuistraiion,
reckle.-s of the weak ground on wheh it stands
We give the ariiclc as one of the nnst tidiculous
and wanton attacks we have evei seen. It is,
however, a fair specimen of ihe nrffiments ol this
florii! champion of high Tariffs, aid jealous op
ponent of Southern interests, lis personalities
we pass by. They are the sirongtst evidence of '
the weakness of a cause. Hut wc dely the edi- I
tor to show a single Wurd or act o' the Knquirer [
designed or calc ulated to snatch oie lauiel from
Gen. Taylor's brow. We have s-jzed every t c- '
casion to express our admirati.ii for ihe man,
ar.d,asfaras we are able to judge lor the milita
ry officer His strong common s-n.?<?, foresight,
energy, patience, and pa'rfctij < j'.'oli !i to iii
dutie>, regardless uf their effect uptts his own po
pularity. have won our high re. arc, and we have
taken cordial pleasure in making itit sentiments 1
public. There is another point on which we
have expressu! our icsptcl lor Jen. Taylor's
opinions: we rifer io l.is refusallo allow him
self Ui be made the tool of Whig p Ji!*<"inn ?. in re
gard to a Presidential nunitiatioi. I it is en
laced in fighting his country's batfes, and nobly
puts aside alt though:* of political p; ???"??? :.:.nr, . ?>
calculated to embarrass the n>etiU:t-~ and effi
ciency of his services in the Mexican campaign.
He, moreover, eminently exhibited his modesty
and good sense when he declares, that military :
talents alone were not fitted for a civil adminis- j
(ration, and when he spoke ol his friend General
Jackson as the only exception t? the rule. Be
he Whig or be he Democrat, ve have always
spoken in the highest terms ?,f Gen. Taylot's
great merits. We are proud that, in such emer
gencies in which the country is now engaged, we
can sink all feelings of party and sustain the
honor of the nation and her gallant defenders.
We did not sanction, because wc were not
qualified to judge, all that the writer of the letter
in the Enquirer set forth. We said, nnd we re
peat it, that he is "a gallant officer and native ol
Virginia,' and it is a beautiful commentary up
on the North American's own article, that that
paper should denounce as a "wilful calumny" the
honest assertions of one of the country's t>rave
champions! But there is nothing in what he
says, that goes to assail Gen. Taylor. While
Gen. T. ought to receive all credit for the plan ol
campaign, in bringing about the glorious battle
of Palo Alto, thai battle in itself was but an en
gagement ol paiksof artillery, and who will de
ny that Duncan was ihe most prominent t-fficer
actually engaged in the light ? I low, then, can ir
be constttied into a "calumny" upon Gen. Tay
lor, that the cnergv and courage ol Duncan, in
the midst ol the clash of arms, should have won
such high credit ? To praise Duncan, so tar
from depreciating Taylor, is to give the more cre
dit to the skill of Taylor in arranging the cam
paign.
But we have evidence at hand sufficient to
crush the puny assaults of the North American
upon our own feelings an.i conduct towards Gen.
Taylor. Two weeks since we published a letter
from Madrid,containing the highest compliment
that could be paid to Gen. Taylor's military ta
lent, viz: by Wellington, the Iron D-iIre of Eng
land. This letter we did fully "sanction" by a
warm eulogy upon "Rough and Ready. ' This
interesting letter has been copied extensively by
the press, Whig and Democrat, and, il we mis.
take not, by the North Ameticau irsclf. That is
our best vindication against the absurd and ridi
culous foamings-at-lhe-motith ol this "tabid"
Tariff paper. We dismiss the subject, with the
following admirable piecc ol ridicule, for which
we thank our able and fearless friends of the
Pennsylvanian :
"The Norh American has discovered an at
tempt on lb- part of the administration to rob this
gallant soldier of his well-earned laurels. This
grave plot, depending on clouds of inner,does am'
thousands of insinuations, excites the warm in
dignation it our cottmporary, aid he slashes
ab urt him in gallant style. The imaginary troops
of Falstaff" were not more numerous han the
schemes he has discovered hatching by the ad
ministration; but it is fortunate that all of ihetn
combined have done j'isl about as much harm as
"themen in Buckram." General Taylor i?, for
tunately, equally beyond theofficiousness of over
zealous politicians, and the envy <1 ambitious
soldiets; and there are few men foolish and igno
rant enough to damage themselves in vain at
attempts at assailing his reputation, or depreciat
ing his services."
MR. CLAY AND AD VALOREM DUTIES.
The Times does "not deem it necessary to
make a rrjoinder" to our article, "as the Enquirer
alleges no new matter in refutation o( our (the
Times') reasoning." Well, be it so! We doubt
not, that the leaders of each paper have hail
enough of the discussion. Each of us, loo, is
doubtless satisfied that he has maintained his re
spective position. Wc feel so,c!ea;ly, although
th?* Whi?, charitable sou!, has pity upon ihe "prrs*
traie" Standard and Enquirer, and yet announces,
with all the stiengthof his lungs, the "triumphant
vindication of Mr. Clay." We dismiss the subject,
with a single word as to the remark of the Times, i
"that Mr. Davis'construction of the (compromise) |
act and the resolutions (of Mr. Clay,) is not the
point on which we (the Times,) made i*.;uo."?
But, that was the question, when we tof.? up and
criticiscd Mr. Garrett Davis'defence uf Mr.Clay,
so prominently brought forward by the Whig
press. Title, we expanded the subject a little,
and "we think wc have shown" by Mr. Clay's
specch in 1S42, thai lie was in favor ? f ad valorem
in preference to specific duties. The more the
matter has been agitated, ihe more convinced are
we, that his language at that time admitted of no
other construction.
The Tarifliics employ the most discordant ar
guments. The Whig says, that the price of iron
in England has risen, solely beeau?e of the in
creased demand lor the many railroads in pro
gress or in coniemplation, and this alone will j
'probably lor some time" save the American j
iron masters from the desolating blow of the Lo
co! oco Tariff. The Philadelphia North Ameri
can, as strong Tariff authority, says, on the other
hand?
"On all sides it ic admitted that there will be a i
very large increase in the importation to ihi? j
country ol the manufactured cuods ot Great Bri- j
tain. The iron trade of that country is especial
Iv brisk since, a lid on account of the passage of our
/irihdt Tariff; and the rise in price manifestSlhe |
confidence ol the English in iheir ability to over
rule ihe Ameiic.ln article. As tliere is but a cer- j
Bain amount ol demand to be supplied, it is plain
uirat ihe American fabiir?, ol whatever descrip-1
Tjon, displaced by succcssjul loreign competition,,
must be driven Irom ihe market."
One paper says that thr rise is produced entire
ly by the Tariff, and is the surest sign that oar
manufacturers are lo be ruined. The other pa
per contends, that the same rise of prices hasoc- :
curred in spite of ihe Tariff, and is ihe only thing j
which can save the manufacturers. Though i
Ihey arrive at the same conclusions, their premi
ses are altogether opposite.
To show how the Northern Whig protection
ist atlempt to excite a sectional prejudice against
the South, we quote the following jeremiad from
the same article olthe North American:
"Our own industry is left to languish?onrown
firesides to grow chill. But ihe Briton will
praise our liberality, and the Southern Locofoco
will shout with triumph at the success of his noble
scheme to level the labor of the free white man
with that of his slave."
ANOTHER WHIG MARE'S NEST EXPOSED.
The Nashville Banner, with a tender regard
li-r '"the purity and virtue nl our Government,"
which tiie Whig press always profess when out
ol office, however they may practise it when thev
accidentally get into power, gives the following as
a specimen of "Democracy exemplified":
"Mr. Shields of Illinois is Commissioner ol
the General Land Ollice, with a salary of three
thousand dollars, and is also a Brigadier Gene
ral, receiving annually, in pay and perquisite*,
about three thousand dollars more. He is now
in Mexico. Large sales of the public lands air
adveitiscd in the official organ. and we should
suppose that his presence at Washington, at ihe
head of his bureau, would be of great impor- i
tance a' this tim?. Some o;her man misjht be j
assuredly found in the Democratic ranks equally
as well qualified to fill thr military station which ;
he occupies, and thus the handsome sum ol six
thousand dollars I e divide.! between two of the
spoilsmen, instead ol fiiliug up the pockets of one.
'?It appears to us that if all considerations for
the preservation ol the purity and viitue of out
government are forgotten or disregarded.
1 The President should be le-s exclusive and
pirti.il in the bestowal id bis offices, Irom the re
-i? tit retain the attachment and allegiance of his
followers. Have the services ol Brigadier Gene
ral Shields brenof such imp"itance to the Demo
ciatic party that a single luciative ? fiice is not
sufficient to reward him 1 (>r, to take a bioader
vi< w?has hi ever performed such ai ts lor the lie
n-fit of hi- country, that a prominent practice <>(
monarchical governments, anil one which is a!
t' gether undemocratic, should be adop td by the
Piesidcnt in his !?'half, a- the only m".ms t.f ex
iiiiiitiug the gratitude ol the republic? Gteaier
mrn than he have not been s'i liberally rewarded.
"Will the Washington linion be good enousli
to enlightfi us n-ii she-joo l efiects a plurality
ol offices in a I'epnbliean Gov ?rnuient I'1
The Columbia (Tenn.) Ob-erver, which the
Banner fac^tumslii styles the ' home cowem on
Duck river," takes the liannei at the first hopt
and as-eris that Mr. Shields resigned the ollice of
I Commissioner on the reception id ihe other o!
fice, anJ that our worthy Iriend, James 11. i'iper,
i ihe acting Commissioner, is lischarging all the
l duties and receiving the emoluments. Tne Ob
! server winrfs up with a good hi!:
"We think that ihe Banner has only 'exempli
. fied* Whigery in iis article, by giving us another
illustration tha: ihe Whig piints are accustomed
' to abuse and denBnce the sdmini-iration with
i out knowing what ih-jy are tailing aboti', and 1 >y
making assertions wholly unit untied and utterly
; false.
i The B:tnn r b iving learned no prudence from
\ the timely rebufl persists in iischargs*, and ridi
' cities the' >bserver's explanation as "totally at va
I riancc with -ense arid reason."
The Union takes up ihe matter ' in vindication
of an absent patriot and soldier," and shows that
the Observer's statement is correct to the letter.?
' (in the lsiii July, Gen. Sheilds, then in Illinois,
' was notified of his appointment a- Brigadier Ge
i neral: on the same dav he writes back, resign in;
' i;?.< i!i.-e of Commissioner; and (<u that day his
! compensation as Commissioner ceased. His let
ter was received a very few days before Congress
aejt umcd, not allowing siitlieienf time be
fore the close of the session lor the Presi lent
lo appoint his success -r. By an act of Congress,
in case of a vacancy in the otliee of Commissioner,
I he duties are to be performed by ihe Clerk of the
Public Lands. No direct appointment by the
President, then, being necessary, Col. Piper, the
Chief Clerk and "Acting Commissioner," is, and
lias been, since Gen. ShkM-V resignation, in re
ceipt of ihe full emoluments of his office, and will
so continue uniil a Commissioner is nominated
and confirmed by the Senate.
Was ever a wanton charge more thoroughly
refuted 1 It is a fair specimen ol " Whiskery ex
emplified."
The othciai details ol ttie disaster to tne u.
States brig Washington, with the loss of Lieut.
Bache and ten men, are published in the Union.
"The disaster is a most serious one. The brig
appear at one time to have been submersed in
the waves ol tlie ocean. It seem* almost won
derful how so many ol the fifty-odd persons who
were in her should have escaped destine ion.?
The loss ol'her commander will be deeply felt
by his family ami bv his country- Lieutenant
Bache was a bless in? to the one ai.tl an ornament
to tie other.
"While the lo^s ol the irnli.int oflieer who r?ni

:hat under all the terrible circumstances o| their

IMMIGRATION TO LOWER VIRGINIA.
in tirthcr iilu-tration cf this interesting sub
ject, we extract a second article ol "Appomattox"
Irom the Petersburg Intelligencer. The author
is a ?ueces.?ful practical cultivator of the soil, and
his experience and information entitle hi# opinion
to great weight. The Intelligencer, calling the
attention ol the public to the article, says with
loice :
"No Slate in the Union has suffered more from
emigration than Virginia. The Eastern part ol I
the State, on account ol its slave property, being j
diminished in value by an exhausting mode oft
cultivation, has t een the greatest sufferer by this ;
tlrain, and whether or not the emigrants have
been made richer by their change, there can be j

But to the article in the Petersburg Intelligei;- j
r:
In a former communication I proposed to1
make some extracts from letters received Iron:
Northern gentlemen, for the purpose of showing
the feeling amongst a numerous class of far
mers in regard to forming settlements in lower
Virginia.
The language used in the subjoined extracts
indicate that thev were written by a member ol
the Society ol Friends. The movement origina
ted wiih a gentleman ol that denomination, who,
having an extensive acquaintance and influence
1n the society, was induced to endeavor to dis
suade his brethren from emigration to the West,
3nd to turn their attention to a land nearer home
?possessing advantages seldom found concentra
ted in the same space. The plan is to form set
tlcnien s or colonies in suiialle locations, that
each member may derive strength and support
Irom his neighbors, in the maintenance ol those
peculiar habits in which he has been educated
from his earliest youth. Under favorable ex
ternal circumstances, the Friends have ever
been regarded as amongst the most useful mem
bers ol the communities in which they have
lived. They are sagacious, intelligent and in
dustrious; thev maintain and educate their own
poor; they work wiih their own hands and
bring up their children to habits of sobriety and
industry. As citizens, they are orderly and quiet,
minding their own business, and not imertering
with the business ol others. On the whole, they
contribute as much to the prosperity ot a State,
in the advancement of all the peaceful arts, as
any other class of citizens, while they have ne
ver been known to constitute any burden upon the
public means, or to supply a single inmate to the
houses of punishment and correction. Such are
the emigrants who have settled in the county ol
Fairfax, and caused its barren lands to blossom
as the ro>c. With such characteristics, the in
telligent citizens ol lower Virginia, who have
become acquainted with the contemplated move
ment, have hailed it with delight. Extensive b<v
dies of land have been oflered, possessing the
greatest natural advantages, and at prices indi
cating but too palpably the depressed state ofagri
culiure in that region. It, in the progress of
events, a portion ol these lands shall be transfer
red to small farmers of industrious habits, a nu
cleus will be formed, around which others will
gather, until the fairest and most interesting re
gion of" our country will be rescued from the de
cay which has oveitaken it. But to the extracts,
which will speak for themselves without further
explana!ion:
"Moobestowjj, (N. J.) 5 ra<i., 26th, 1S-16. |
"M v impressions respecting the vicinity of!
Petersburg, are sn dilTeient fro n all mv previous
notion*, of boih the citizens and the soil, that I
rhall not be .satisfied until I am more intimately *
acquainted with both. I regret more than ever j
that I cannot devote the whole Summer to an j
examination of your delightful country. I am
entirely satisfied, and mv uncle fully unites with j
n.e in opinion, that industrious farmers can do
better in that vicinity than in any other place with I
which we arc acquainted. I am desirous to in
duce your agricultural society to consider the im
portance of inducing one of the most valuable
elates of our farmers?the real producers of the
means o! living Irom the soil by the sweat of
their brows?those wi'.houi capital sufficient to
purchase land and build houses, but who have

intelligent citizen*, who hold so much land, can
>ee belter 'han I can teil them, how much the
value of their property would be enhanced by a
division of it into farm* o: one htm Ired or two
hundred acres each, and having each division to
produce more clear profit to them annually than
many thousands of acres do now. If they
entertain the proposition favorably, 1 would be
willing to undertake to furuish them with tenants
enough in a few year?, or as soon as thev will be
prepared for them.
"Our visit to Sandy Point was on many ac
counts the most interesting to me of any 1 ever
i made. It demonstrated the capabilities of the
?oil for the highest improvement, by means with
in the reach if all. Its noble and wealthy pro
prietor must be considered a public benefactor in
i t,iu- devoting hi > .soil to Mich laudable industry;
; vet, while I ihu> esteem him lor what he does, I
I leel convinced he would do more good by divid
: itin his princely estate into one hundred parts,
I and putting upon each part an industrious free
man to till the soil, li would thus, f have no
! doubt, in a little time, produce him a clear in
come ol not less than two hundred dollars tor
each eighty acres; and he would have the satis
' faction of adding to the population ol the State,
and giving to five or six hundred freemen the

! While at Sandy Point, our friend took us in his

short, but very delightful I have seen inany of
: the most tasteful seats of our Northern nabobs
, around Philadelphia, New York, New Haven,
Hartford, New Bedford, Boston and Salem,
i but I never saw one which 1 think had more
: good t?*te displayed in its embellishments and
- improvements. I had no idea of seeing any
I thing like it in Virginia. *******
Although J left home with the intention of
making Gloucester one of the principal points ol
my visit, I am satisfied with the result, asbeins
the best we could do in the time allc?te.f. I still
intend to embrace the first opportunity to *rive
; Gloucester a thorough examination, though I do
? not see a lime before the IOth month, (Oct.)?the
whole ol which I intend to devote to Virginia.?
i ? * ? I was very industriously employed
during the week ol our yearly meeting in telling
what we saw; and great interest is generally mani
fested. Several New York Friends were in at
! tendance, who were greatly interested, and 1 be
lieve the concern will take a deep hold of the
minds or many in that Slate, and result at no dis
tant period in the emigration o! a large number.
It will take time, but I leel confident the matter
will not end in mere speculation. ? ? ? 1
ought to sav that many who have been disap
pointed in getting oli'ihis spring, will go a* soon
as they can."
The preceding extracts are from the first letter
received from the writer after his return from Vir
ginia. Others wi.i be given from time to time.
In connexion with this subject, the following
interesting article is transcribed from Wilmer
and Smith's European Tunes of the 19th of Au
gust:
"EMIGRATION.?We announced in a for
mer publication, the arrival of Mr. Thos. Raw
ling*, laie editor of the'Old Countryman and Emi
grants' Friend,'New York. It gives us pleasure
to hear that Mr. Bawling-.' exertions in the cause
of emigration are likely to be responded to far be
yond his original calculations. Mr. R. has been
addressing public meetings in various partsofthe
United Kingdom, particularly in Wale* and
Scotland. In the former place, the rooms where
the meetings were held, ahhuUffh capable of hold
in? 500 parsons, were so crowded that many were
obliged to leave without gaining admittance.?
The repeal of the corn laws has certainly aided
him in his mission; and as he seems to be well
known in this country, he is of all persons w<ll
adapted to prosecute the object, namely, emigra
tion to America. We understand that he con
lines himself to the State of Virginia,considering
that that part of the country is more suited for our
countrymen. We believe ihat Mr. Rawlings con
templates airangins permanently an agency in
Liverpool lor the sale o! land in America, and
then returning to New York to superintend its
management oil that side ol the
"APPOMATTOX."
WHIG NOMINATIONS FOR THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.
The nomination of John Young for Governor,
[says the N. Y. Evening I'ost,] does not seem to .
be very cordially received in certain quarters.? .
Mr. Young's reputation as an anti-renter causes j
some of the Whigs to make wry laces at the no- j
mination. There i* a :?ood deal of alarm among i
some worthy old gentlemen of the Whig party,
who have given leases of their properly.
The nomination i* a triumph of the Evening
Journal faction. They have had their way in
the Convention, as we were sure, with their
greater cunninz and activity, would be the case.
They will find it much more difficult, we fancy, j
t.) elect their candidate for Governor than they i
have found it to nominate him.
The Albany Atlas has this remark!

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM NAUVOO.
THE CITY DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF
THE AN1I MORMONS.
From ibe ollicers and passengers of the Alva
rado, we gather the following particulars :
Steamer Alvarado arrived at the landing this
morning from Keokuk. She brings down a
large number of Mormons, who have abandoned
theHuIyCity alter all the troubles and difficul
ties.
Alter much skirmishing, and several persons
being killed during Sunday, and the three days
following, on Thursday the Anti-Mormons enter
ed the city in a very laige body, and all com
pletely armed.
A parley ws? held, whtch retailed in a demand
that the Mormons and all in the cita engaged in
ti e troubles, should leave Nauvoo within live
days, and at once deliver their persons,aims, am
munition, and the city itself, into the hands of ihe
Anti-Mormons. This wasat last complied with,
but whether from lear, inclination, or a mere de
sire to avoid bloodshed, we have not yet learned.
The Anti-Mormons then took possession ot every
thini', and, of course, in contradiction ot the late
orders of the Governor of Illinois, and contrary
to law. Immediately the Mormons beuan to leave
the city. A large number siaited on the Alvara
do, and many on th^ Potosi.
On the opposite shore we understand that the
people or authorities of Iowa had interfered to
prevent those leaving from entering that tenito
ry. They most, consequently, come to this city,
and from here scatter abroad.
We also learn that the 'IVmple will be allowed
to remain unharmed, but we much doubt thi*,
and should not be surprised it the next arrival
brought news of the d#-truction of this beautiful
building, r.s well as the dwelling ot' Emma Smith.
It is but right to state, however, that thus far
no violence has been done either to the people or
to the building or property, and we sincerely trust
that we may net be compelled to chronicle the
news to the contrary.

FROM THE ARMY.
The U. S. steamer Teltgragh, Captain Auld,
left Bra*os Santiago on the lilth September, and
arrived here yesterday, via Port Lavacca ami
Galveston, which last place she lelt on the lClli.
The Telegraph brought to this city "it>5 >i? k and
disabled volunteers, and 45 officers, and landed at
La vacca 7*2Texan Gunmen, and a part ol a com
pany, numberingiO men, at Galveston.
In the same gale the schr. Edward Tilleisou,
bound to this poit Irom the Brazos, with sixty
eight discharged soldiers, was blown ashore near
the Sabine. Six had died previous to this disa?

We learn troin a passenger direct from ca

that an express arrived there as he was about t?.

had been arrested on a charge ot disobeying

' ""uVn' Taylor crossed the San Juan on the fiili
I and took up the line of march on ihejih forS.-rai
vo where the forces umier Worth hai. hal ed.
I lay*' re?irnent would leave China and lake up
the line ot march for the same place so as to
reach there at the same time with Taylor.
In the advance of Gen. Taylor in the interior,
he -eemed determined to be prepared lor any
emergency, cither in advance or retreat, for he
would not sulTer either ofiicers or men to lake
more baggage than they could pacu' upon_?Imm.
backs. In consequence of this a number
icain-rs had reached Matamorns freighted down
with "extra baggage,?ihe .panel of ihe sapadores
was litcraMv jammed ? ith it. , All .he supply
jar have been sent od by pacK mules, and the
General experts to have thirty days P^.on,
lor 12,000 men at Seralvo when he reaches n,
where it is eeneially believed he wid remain lot
some length of time, and many think, until limlur
advices from Washington.
Gen. Taylor believes, notwiths.aniling the m ws
he h;is received of 'he advance of a Mexiran
force between San Luis Potosi and baltillo lh.it
he can go into Monterey, and eveu to ba.tnly
without meeting any opposition.
The troops on the road now between Camargu
and Monterev will number near I'i.OfiO, aw. nom
were suflered* to go who could not stand a long
inarch and were not perfectly willing. In coii

the Baltimore Battalion, a part of the I exan In

There were near C?00 sirk volunteers in tlx
Hospital at Camargo, and tliey were dying vei>
fast. So many were sick, that it required neat a
whole regiment tj attend them. those whom
the Tennesseeans left behind,seemed to be paiti
cularly unfortunate, lor they had to call on the
Alnba'inians to attend the living and bury the
dead As la?t a* these men pet able to leave the
hospital, they are discharged and sent home In
tact Gen. Taylor has a disposition to discharge
a|| volunteers who are discontented, and wish to
return to their homes. Though the numbei of p.t
lients in the hospital at Matainoras is larger than
atCatnargo, the mortality is greater in the laii-'t
place?near three to one. Those who are unaccus
tomed 10 a Southern climate, when once prostr.v
i,.,| hv the fever, seldom regain their tornu-i
?irengih on the Rio Grande, without a change ot
atmosphere. They die oil quickly; else become
so enfeeble.! ihat they are unable to help them
selves. A person who has visited the hospitals
at the different posts has said I hat if one-half ot
ihe Northern and Western volunteers who went
to the Rio Grande ate efleciive men on ihe Id;I.
of < ictober, it is more than he look* for.
General Patterson has been left in command ot
all the country from Camargo to the mouth of tin
river, and he has been instructed by General I ay

^rangers into ihe river, and at Camargo. lh:*

officers of the VVhiteville. Therefore every gen
ileman who has not already an established btisi
iipss in the country, will find it difficult to land
there?at least, such is the opinion now. A oil
leient interpretation of the order, however, may
be given. , , .
General Butler was ihe man laylor designee!

threatens to shoot any Mexican who shall hold
communication with ihe Americans.
P. S. At the last account", Taylor's Hea1
Quarters were at Seralvo, half-way between >a
