The Military DIorements-War Fseling-PoliticG
1H.,,r.- Syso,u oh ~, Eyc;fonpoof


Here we are in the midst of wars dire alarms-the
blast OF the bugle and the shr notes Of the ear
piercing fife disturb the monotony of our tranquil
summers eve and instead of the familiar question
at this season. "Are there any new cases of fever %
at every corner you may hear the hasty and anxious
interrogatory, ''What news romAransas-isTaylor
retreatng Z" or the bold declaration, "By God, the
old soldier will be cut into sausage meat by these
internal Mexcans"
The old General, owing to the wretched arrange
ments at Washington, bundled off TO Texas
without cavalry or artillery and if the foe was
worth brass farhng, little would be left of Taylor
or his command beyond the record of gallant fight,
in which thousand brave men were sacrificed
to the imbecihty OF the hacks at Washington.
Last evening renforcements for our army in
! Texas were put on board the steamship Alabama,
accompanied by grand and imposing escort from
our independent companies, who, amid the thunder
ofartlley and the spiritstlrrng strains Of splendid
band, bid adleu and gave a cordial God -speed-you
| to their old comrades who go where glory waits
them. There were five companies of u. S. troops
and volunteer artillery force OF two hundred men,
with eight brass guns all IN high spirits and eager
for the tray.
AS you passed from rank to rank of these deter
mined men, ii was amusing to listen TO the Obser-
vatens that fell from their lips and note the gleam
Of satisfaction that diffused itself over their coun-
tenances, when reference was made to the plunder
of the churches and the little golden Jesusses and
Virgin Marys. with diamond eyes, real diamonds!
and no mistake, one of which was sufficient OF IL
self to purchase cotton plantation, with sixty mig
gers. Only think of that, Dick.
The reve in the halls of the MonteZumas was
chmera to their eyes Already are they revolving
In their minds the rapturous enjoyment awaiting
their advent in the famous old city, now held in ig-
noble bondage by the degenerate descendants of
| the valorous CorteZ
Noby have the United States officers conducted
and facilitated the arrangements for the comforta
bic transportation OF the men to the point destined
for Decentralization; and It is a marvel to me how
COL Y. I. Hunt, notwithstanding his high merit
and acknowledged ability as Deputy Qaartermaster
General, could, from the miserable and meagre sup.
| ply of seagoing craft, select with much tact and
discrimination, vessels SO well qualified to perform
the arduous duties expected OF them. The cost
must have been conslderable-that was unavoidable
but the manner Of Its accomplishment was beyond
all praise.
Colonel Hunt, like his predecessor, Major S. Nc
Rec. who every inch soldier, and under every
aspect the accomplished gentleman furnishes in
his own person every guaranty that the duties OF
his arduous and important Office have not been con-
fded to unworthy hands; and that In every emergen-
cy the Government will have an excellent officer,
the Republic faithful and honorable servant
/ The canvass for Governor of this State drags Its
slow length along with little OF the animation usually
observable on like occasions.
Judge Johnson, the democratic nominee, is
man Of warm heart, generous hand, unfinchlng
one, take him for all In ALL as we rarely encounter
in the walks Of party. He has an instructive hatred
| of wrong and injustice, and shrlnks from them as
he does with everything tainted with meanness, or
redolen of corruption. He Is the strongest man
presented by the democratic party for the office
to which he aspires. God bless him.
The work OF rotation goes quietly on here, but l
cannot say that the successors of the beheaded are
one whit more respected or give any more satlsfac-
tion to the successful party than those who have
been camorously superseded
ar m
ton with the recent visit OF Seth Barton to the Cres
cent City, and proceedings consequent thereon,
which, as they are excrutlatngly funny, have been
at some pains to trace to their source, In which
have succeeded and have the promise OF certain
documents connected herewith, that will, when
published in the ubiquitous Herald astonish the
are the dramats persona, and the correspondence is
rich, racy and recherche. "Roanoke" has been
coming over excellent and independent Pres-
| dent, James X. Polk, to whom be all honor and
praise, good health, quiet times, and auspicious
second term. You must not hurry the Colonel too
fast-al he asks is a fair field and no favor, and
that 1t Is the duty OF the Herald to vouchsafe him.
Expectation uptoe for the announcement,
! through your columns, ct the arrival OF the queen
of Ships the Great Britain Morgan was at one time
| In danger OF being carried body and bones, out OF
peclant multitude, whose vehement demands for that
Herald drew crowds from the adjoining streets,
| til Exchange Passage was literally impossible She
is come She is come !! all that could be ga
| thered from the wonder-strlcken mass.
