The Administration prints are falling into the
great error with regard to Gen. Harrison, which
marked the course of most of the opponents of Gen.
Jackson, and which materially contributed to the
success the late President The abuse, falsehood
and detracton, literally showared upon Gen. Har-
rison's head is not only absurd in ITSELF but tends
to excite the warmest sympathy in his behalf Now
in the case of Gen Jackson, Heaven knows there
was enough against him to excuse much of what
was said And yet the people would not stand it!
An old vetran, who had fought bravey for his coun-
try, they reasoned, did not deserve such treatment
So with Gen. Harrison. Every body knows
knows from history, from eye witnesses. frem ad-
mited fact, that he is brave and patriotic-that he
has been gallant and successful General-that he
has filled with honor the most responsible stations
that his honesty is unquestioned- he is
capable and efficient man--an experienced states.
man-and worthy citizen. To represent him
therefore, as imbecile, weak, cowardly, and base,
is to revolt the moral sense o. the people. Such
charges affecting the fame and character of Gen.
Harrison, strike through him at the fame and glory
of our country. The American people feel, in some
sense, that they are villifed and slandered, when
they one Of their oldest and best Generals thus
cruelty calumniated.-Aler Gazette.

ELECTION FOR u S. SENAToR.-The Reso-
buttons in the Senate were called up by mo-
ton, on yesterday. The original Resolution,
bringing on the election of United States SEN
ator, was amended so as to bring on the cleo
ton on the 4th December, upon whichthe SEN
ator from Walton, Mr.. Echols, moved to lay ii
on the table for the balance of the session! If
this move be not indicative Of the determine
ton of the Van Buren, party to prevent the
election of Senator, we know not what would
be. Tous, it is proof strong as holy writ. But
mere, they will succeed in carrying out their
nefarious designs, unless Harrison Senators be
at their posts Ii is usual for several Sena-
tors to be absent we presume, from unavoida-
bic causes. We hope, that this will not always
be 80. Let them attend and carry out the
wishes of the people.
Since writing the above, we have to announce
to our readers, that the Harrison party IN the
Senate, have unanimously withdrawn, in con
sequence of the outrageous conduct of the Van
Buren, party, in relation 10 the election of the
United States Senator. We approve, nay, com
mend the act. The high handed attempt
avowed openly upon the floor, to prevent the
election of Senator, merits the censure of the
people. 1t is an outrage, committed in the
face of the Constitution and the peoples will,
which should be visited upon those concerned
in the attempt, with the severest reprobation

Coal TRADE or PETERsBURG,- Within the
last few months, new field of enterprise has
been opened to the citizens OF Petersburg, and
one which bids fair richly to reward them for
the amount of capital and labor invested in it.
The discovery of large beds oil Coal in the
south western portion OF the county OF Chester
field cannot fail to add largely to the wealth and
prosperity of the Town Of Petersburg, and we
have no doubt that the day is not far distant
when this valuable mineral will form one OF the
principal exports from the town.
The great facility and chelpness with which
the Coal can be raised, and the case with which
it can in short time be brought to market, must
secure to those who have invested their money
in the Stock ofthe Companies enga ged in work
ing the newly discovered mines, a large profit
on their investment, while the effects upon the
general prosperity Of our town will be most sa-
lutary.
Having used the coal for the last twelve
months we can say from experience that 1T is
the best we have ever seen raised from Virgin
ia pit, and second only to the best Liverpool
Petersburg Latelligeacer.

MEXICO.

LATEST FROM Mexico BY the steam
chip Neptune we received Havana papers of
the 18th ult., one day later. They contain later
Mexican accounts.
The Vera Cruz Censor Of the 9th October
says, that the Mexican Congress, at the session
of the 10th, declared that the will of the nation
was, that the executive government should not
be clothed with the extraordinary powers whic h
they have demanded. Thus it will be perceived
that Bnstamente and Almonte are rebuked by
even Central conclave.
The Mexican Congress passed, on the 18th
October, a law TO the following effect: I hat the
government is authorised to contract loan OF
g., 100000 pledging for the payment thereof
the II per cent duty; and the President may is
sue bonds for that amount, which shall be sold
to the best bidder. within thirty days. Two.
thirds Of the proceeds of said loan to be ex.
pended in acquiring marine and other neces
saries, for prosecuting the war against Texas

TALLAHASSEE, Nov 2l.-JMore Indians
A detachment item men from Capt A. Bar
pey's Company, under the command of Lieut.
Mows, on Saturday the 14th inst was scouting
nsar the head ofthe Siccohopko, when they heard
rifle fire, and on proceeding to the place, they
saw an Indian reloading his rife. They immed-
lately firedon him and killed him. They then
proceeded up the same stream, and on the morn
ing of the 5th inst. Lieut.. News fired his rife
at another, and supposed to have wounded him,
but he made his escape. They had proceeded
but few miles, when they saw small party of
Indians, when they fired and killed one, but
the others succeeded in carrying him of land con-
ceaIing him in the swamps. 1t would be advisa-
BILE for all citizens the frontiers West of Tai
Iahassee, to be on the look ort, as there is sup
posed to be more Indians in that section of coun-
try, than has yet been there since they lately
commenced hostilities.

POWER or ELEcTRIcITY.-A salad of mus
tard or water cress may be produced in few
minutes by the assistance Of electricity. The
process is to immerse the seed for few days
previously in diluted oxymu,iated acid, then
sow il in avery little soil, letting it be covered
with metallic cover. and then bring it in con-
tact with the electric machine. BY the agents
employed in this process, eggs, which require
from nineteen to twenty DAYS application Of
