ton OF that Corporation, the FINAL result OF which an
ntlmaon from the committee of that board that they
should not feel disposed recommend the going on with
the road unl at least eight hundred thousand doll ars
should be subscribed. The assiduity fidelity and abli
y with which the Directors had discharged their duty
was highly commended by members of the meeting
The report concluded with proposing four alternatives
to the meeting Gone, 10 proceed with the subscriptions
already obtained-another TO postpone further action
Tor the presentthe third to abondon the project ire
y-the fourth, to retain the charter but allow such as
chose, to withdraw their SUBSCRIPTIONS by leaving the first
lnStament of five per cent.
The two latter propositions promptly voted
down, by almost unanimous votes III re being but one
negative in each vote was then passed that the
directors confer further with the Norwich Railroad Di-
rectors and report the result at an adjournment Of the

THE ELECTIONS.

We presume that after the recent elections
in New Hampshire, Maine, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Maryland, and Ohio, the most devot-
ed friends ofthe present Administration will
not pretend to speak any longer of its "pop-
ularity," or use swelling language with re-
gard to lis hold upon the affections OF the
people. They must be satisfied that lis con-
duct of public affairs has not, since lis eleva-
ton to power, been such MS to secure great
deal of appreciation; and that, out the ranks
ofits divoted partisans, it hus not enlisted an
ardent support. Neither the Mexican war,
nor the Subtreasury, nor the new tariff, nor
any other of the devices of the Admlnstra-
ton, has enabled it to make proselytes, or in
crease its strength We remember, in the
case ofPennsylvania, that it was remarked in
the Senate, during the discussion about the
tariff, that the State would never vote for the
Wings, tariff or no tariff. We have the re-
suit. Without enthusiasm or excitement, but
with steady, determined change, the people
have left their old party ranks, aud elected
there the Wing candidates. There is no
mistake in this indication ofpubic sentiment
this exhibition ofpublic feeling. There has
been radical change; and whilst in some
other States the party has only halted or paus-
ed, there they have marched and enlisted I'M
der the Wing banner, and we believe will
maintaintheir present stand. AteraHd,ta Gas,

learn to dav, that there have been receiv-
ed by the Government, certain official advice
es from General Taylor, impending the cour-
age and conduct of General William O. But
Ter of the volunteer force, at the battle OF
Monterey.
We have various accounts in private letters
which were very untavoruble to General But
Ter, and also an account going 10 show that
Gen. Taylor censured his conduct on the spot
in an excited manner.
General Butler has been great favorite
with the Democratic party, and great pains
have been taken TO represent him as a second

He was brought here by Mr. Polk as his
choice for the Office ofSecretar Y of War, but
it was found that the appointment could notbe
made from Kentucky, without dropping eth
or Walker or Cave Johnson, or Mason.
He was, when the war commenced, fixed
upon as the ommander-in-chief. 1t was
supposed that he was the man designated to
supercede Gen. Scott.
The brilliant victories of Colonel Taylor,on
the 9Th and 9th of May, although they made
him brevet Brigadier General did not, by any
means. secure to him the command ofthe ar
nv of invasion. He was in fact, in great dun
ger of being overslaughed, to make room for
Butler
Lieutenant Col. McCIunT, of Mississippi,
who was severely wounded ut :he storming
of Monterey.and has since died OF his wounds,
the Richmond Wing says was Alexander X.
| McClmg, ofJackson, Mississippi, who was
Marshal of the Eastern District, having re-
ceved his appointment from Gen. Harrison.
He was nephew ofthe late Chief Justice
Marshall, land fell heir to a large portion ofthe
talent, which has rendered the family one OF
the most remarkable that we ever knew. He
was lawyer of full practice, and was widely
known for his undaunted courage and open
disposition.
We learn from an officer IN the army, that
those officers who fell at Monterey were u
moug the very flower ofthe service. Highly
as we estimate the valor of these undaunted
heroes, (for heroes they certainly were,) we
cannot but deplore the evil councils which
precpitated us into war, in which so much
valuable blood has been shed. No success,
however brilliant, can ever compensate the
country for the loss she has sustained IN their
persons. We consider the lives ofsuch men
as Ringgold, Brown, Watson, McClung, and
Barbour, as of more value than all the spoils
it is possible TO obtain by the acquisition of
every province in Mexico, with their rude
half civiized-half Indian population.

left on the 10th inst. From her we learn thai
the British mail steamer had arrived at Haya-

September. These papers state that Gen.
Santa Anna had left the Capital, and was
marching to Monterey with four thousand
troops. In the latter part ofSeptember de-
cree was issued in the city of Mexico, which
has reduced the duties on all imported goods

left the frigate Congress, under command OF
Commodore Stockton. When he left all

DEATH OF THOMAS CLARKsoN. The Cal
edona brings us tidings of The death ofthe
venerable Philanthropist, Thomas Clarkson,
whose lnbors for the abolition of the slave
trade and of slavery for more than halfa CEN
fury, have rendered his name immortal. The
anti slavery movement of the present centu-
ry--directed first against the slave trade and
subsequently against slavery itself-received
its first impulse from the early conservation
ofhs noble powers to the great work. His
death took place at his residence, Playford
Hall, near Ipswich, at A O'Clock, A. NJ, of
Saturday, September 26th He was eighty
six years ofage. The Ipswich Express says:
ellis spirit burned bright to the last, and
while he ceased not to direct his thoughts to
the great question ofthe emancipation ofthe
human race, he calmly looked forward to the
'crown oflife' laid up in Heaven for the faith
full followers of the Cross. He was born at
Wisbech, in Cambridgeshire, on March 2Sth,
