II is greatly to the honor Of the democracy that
very little of this batting for office has been encoun-
tered by the present executive Among the immense
multitude who attended the Inauguration. compara-
lively very few Office seekers; and of these,
there have not been great many who have shown
themselves importunata. We take it, that the rea-
not that the applicants for place are few, or
that expectation of changes in the offices is not in
dulged but that sclf-respect and respect io the new
chief magistrate is prevalent among the demo-
cracy Of the United States than il was ~
mong the hungry and voracious tribes that made a
coon hunt of the presidential election Of 1910. The
democracy of the Union have confidence that the
President will take time to look around him before
he acts appointments not necessary TO be imme-
dately flled-ihat he will look rather TO see how
men stand in their immediate riclnities-how they
look among their neighbors-than how they appear

" COL. BENTON'S BILL, -

AT length the mountain has brought forth
again, and the mouse is precisely similar to the
one of which ii was delivered last summer, with
the exception of the tail. This mouse has been
curtailed OF It's dimensions by some process or
other; whether 1t was consumed by the fiery in
dignation of the Republican party against such
an inefficient breed, or whether its parent de-
sired to exhibit bob tail TO the Senate and the
world, for the sake of greater diversion-and
we presume the sequel will show that Col. Ben
toms design is merely to ridicule the efforts Of
those 10 favor Of in,-me diate Annexation as n
preliminary to the assumption of his .sgrand
NEUTRAL postion-of course his Wing allies
who are laughing obstreperously in their sleeves,
are the hest qualified to decide
Col Benton has not, in reality, the presump
ton to believe that such peurile and cuuailed
bantling as this proposition, which is brought
forward after two months of grave, profound
and mysterious parturiton, can be made 10
swallow up the measure which has passed with
such difficulty through the House; no, he does
not believe it; and if the popular branch of
Congress were TO revoke what has been done,
retrace all the steps which have been taken and
bow in reverential submission to this curtailed
mouse, as the god Of their idolatry, we are sure
no one would be more surprised than COL Ben
ton himself
After the great Presidential battle has been
fought and won on the merits of the question o.

sure, TOO, is doomed to death by Col. Bent0n--
who, of all other men living, is most abhoned
and execrated in Texas--and the mockey
of another negotiation be rendered her-and
rendered by Col. Benton-who, We ask, can
doubt for moment. that she will Indignantly
spurn and despise the overture? Texas is gone,
and gone forever, If the eounsels OF Col. Ben
ton shall prevail in the Senate !!
We have moi the disposition TO pursue this
subject further today. About to retire, forever
we trust, from editorial and political life, with
no favor to ask of any political party, or of any
Administration, we confidently hoped that the
measure to which we had devoted most Of oul
humble abors, would be happily contaminated
within the next wweeks. But now il is with
unutterable bitterness that we confess, to oul
apprehension, pail Of deadly gloom is made, by
this movement in the Senate, to enshroud the
:" lone star" Of Texas.
Hereafter we will offer some remarks on the
course of the Globe. That print, Of course
comes out in a flaming article, regulating al
other plans, and clarifying "Col. Benton'i

DEAR Sir: Cannot something be done for our old
friend and fellow soldier, General Brainard He
was as you are aware, severely wounded and dis
abed in The deathstruggle in which you bore so con-
spicuous part-the sorte fiom Fort Erie. The Bri
fish army under Sir Gordon Drummond composed al.
most entirely of Wellingon's peninsular veterans
| outnumbered Us more than three to one. Our lit
tie army contained but few veterans: more than
half its effective force made up of recruits
volunteers, and militia. With such disparity in
| the character well in the number of the
| troops, the effort, though necessary to the honor
Of the country and the character of the army, was
| almost hopeless A repuse, at any point on the en-.
| emy's works, would have been fatal to u.s. Brainard
was Of the party that carried by storm strongly.
fortified bock-house on the extreme right of the en-
emy's line. In that desperate encounter he was shot
down, at the head Of his volunteers; but notwith-
standing the severity Of his wounds he continued by
his example to animate his until the victory was
complete, and the enemy left without the means Of
further annoying us. The distinguished gaantry OF
Branard, and men like him, stimulated the militia
and volunteers to deeds of high daring, unsurpassed
by the best troops of any age or country The sorie
from Fort Erie by far the most splendid achieve
ment of brilliant campaign, whether we consider
the boldness OF the conception, the excellence of the
plan, or the ability Of the execution. No event II,
military history, on the same scale, has ever surpass.
ed il; and 1t is tho important to u.s. as demon.
stratng what the militia and volunteers are CAPABLE
Of doing, when properly led.
may be mistaken, but il does appear to me there
would be great moral advantage secured 10 the ma
ton by treating like Brainard in the most liber
al manner. He claims no more than has been al.
lowed 10 others, both Of the army and navy Now.
If any distinction be made, il should rather be in IA
yor Of than against men Of his class Of service am
not you know, in the habit Of interfering with le
gisation in any form; but, in this case could not
remain passive, without, in my own opinion being I'm
just, as well to the country as the claimant
With great regard, am, dear sir, your obejient
servant.

GENERAL BRAINARD.

Our readers must have observed the extraordinary
unaDimity with which the bill granting pension 10
Gen. AsAHEL BRAIsARp was passed. few days since,
by both Houses of Congress, and may Justly have in
ferred the great merit of Gen. Branard in leading
such result The subjoined letter, estfying to his
services and wounds in Of the many actions in
which he was engaged in the Of 1912, was in
tended to be used in case the bill had met with any
opposition As it was happily rendered unnecessary
by the aacrity with which his claim allowed, we
think It due to him, as we are sure 1t viii prove &c.
ceptable to readers, and not offensive we hope
to the two gallant officers, the by whom is writ
ten and the other to whom it is addressed, TO give it
publicity In fact, the accounts we occasionally meet
with, such is contained in Gen Jesups letter. turn
ing upon the conduct of an Individually of particular
battle give us much more clear conceptions of the real
character of the conflict than the meagre outline OF off
cial report and impress with grateful sense
of the skill patriotism, and devotion of the men who
composed and commanded the army Of that day.
These accounts not the less acceptable that we
often get from them than the modesty of their
authors designed to give. II is only when such men
speak 10 and Of each other, that reminded of
the conspicuous parts they themselves bore in plan
ming, directing, and executing the most important
and brilliant enterprises Of the war.
BARNARD entered the army whilst boy and as
musician in Gen. PETER B. PoRrER's volunteers
But boy and musician he was he could not stay his
hand when there fighting to be done. 1t was
soon found that, like Charles Of Sweden, the music
he preferred was the music of the bullets. 1t was
natural that the officers who witnessed his daring
and address in repeated engagements, should place
him in more congenal sphere of action. BY col
lecting together the musicians, and such straggers
and volunteers as Brainard could induce to join him,
in number over a hundred, and making him captain,
they added full company to their diminished force,
which rendered eminent service at the most critical
period Of the campaign.
We regret that Brainard, though we admire the
delicacy which, under more prosperous circumstanc
has restrained him from applying has not long since
enjoyed this well-merited bounty. The manner in
which it is now accorded must satisfy him how reads
his country has all along been appreciate his gal
liant services and to contribute its means to alleviate
his severe wounds and sustain his mutiated frame in
comfort.

LATEST FROM MExIco.-The Charleston Courier
has received advices from Vera Cruz to the 9Th ut
which paper furnishes the following:
"We learn from Capt Peterson, OF the brig Ma
Jade, from Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had attacked
at the head of 1000 men, 1900 of which were cavalry
the town of Puebla-but he was driven back by the
revoutonsts. Santa Anna j, is said would endeavor
to make his escape either by the way of Vera Cruz
or Tuspan. The day previous to the sailing of the
Naiade about $50 volunteers arrived from Alvorado
and 1900 were expected from Campeachy in the
steamer Montezuma, which with those already in
Vera Cruz would present formidable front against
any force the Dictator might march against that city.
The revoutionsts were IN hot pursuit of Santa Anna
and certain death awaited him sbonld he fall into
their hands. National Guard, similar to the
French National Guard, had been established by the
reyolutioniss, through Mexico, and all foreign c,ti-
zens we're called upon to defend themselves; not
outstanding the revolution spreading with ra
pidny throughout the republic, Santa Anna was still
surrounded with a number of influential friendsn
