er. The time which these members are
wasting is wanted for other subjects. The
question of the new tariff, which should

and disposed of sleeps while these men
occupy the floor with question ofPerson-
al politics! The people are impatientIy
expecting reform OF our commercial code
to bring 1t into conformity with the opin-
ions which prevail in the country, with
our present relations to foreign countries,
and the spirit ofthe times in which we live.
Forth steps a member of Congress with a
charge OF speculation against Mr.. Webster,
and forward rush the friends of Mr.. Web.
ster, In his defence, and in the dust of the
commotlon, even before there is any proper
matter of debate before the house, the
commercial reform is lost sight of, and, for
aught we know, forgotten.
For our part we look upon the question
that has been raised, concerning Mr..
W9bster's alIedged misappIication of the
public money, as a matter of much less
consequence than either the adversares
or the friends of Mr.. Webster seem to
considerlt Even if the charge be true to
the precise extent in which it is made, 1t
can safely be left TO take its turn among
the matters before Congress. When other
and more pressing questions have been dis
0f f,o -. L. ~ .I,.II
have been ascertained and reported, there
will be time enough left to debate it, Even
if the facts be simply ascertaincd and lald
before the public, we will answer that the
public will give just verdict without the
help OF single word from single member
of Congress. Ii is the infrmily of almost
every member of Congress to believe that
the public is not competent to make up an
opinion on any controverted question until
he has made it the subject Of speech.
We have no right before the matter is
Investigated, to draw any conclusion to
Mr.. Webser's disadvantage, and we protest
against any remark we are about to make
being so Interpreted. But Mr.. Webster is
a man habituaIy and proverbialy careless
and unexact in money matters, and mat
tentlve to pecuniary accountability. He
is not man to be trusted with a dollar:
not that he would entertain any premedi-
tated design 10 mis-apply il, but because
when it IS called for, it is ten to one he
would not know what had become oft. If
he bad occasion to make any use of the
public money while Secretary of State, it
would be a marvel to us if all the papers
relating TO the expenditure We're in such
exact order as to satisfy a professional
accountant, or even TO clear the transaction
from all obscurity.-We sincerely hope
they will be found so in this case, but if
they should not, it will throw no new light
upon Mr. Webster'S character Neither
will any defamation, either on the one
side or the other, produce the least effect
upon public opinion IN. Y. Eve. Post.

LATEST FROM THE ARMY.
MATAMOROS TAKEN!
From the N. o. grmes


The steamship Telegraph, Capt. Aud
has just arrived from Galveston, PLACING
us in possession of later advices from the
Army.
The following is from the Galveston
News, 23d inst:
The pilot boat l.. III. Hitchcock, Can't.
Wright, which left this city with Captain
SHELLS company on Saturday morning
last, returned yesterday having left Bra
EOS Santiago last Tuesday at 6 p. M
Gen. Tay Tor crossed on the 18th, took
the town of Barrlta, with little or no re-
sistance on the same day. On the 18Th
1t was reported that 5000 men had crossed
the river, and none of the volunteers had
yet gone over. Gen. II. was on the other
side; he intends as we understand. to pro-
coed TO the city of Matamoros, which he
expects TO take without the firing Oft gun.
Nothing further had been heard of the re.
Inducements that were reported on their
way to the relief of Ampudia.
Captain Symptom found a Mexican a
few days since in a thicket As soon as
he was discovered, he threw away his
arms, saying that he had been fighting a
month with nothing but bread and water
for provisions, that he now wished TO sur
render TO the Americans, as he would fight
no longer under the Mexican government
and that wo.thirds of the whole Mexican
force wished to do the same.
The steamer Sea arrived there on the
18th inst from New Orleans, filled with
volunteers; the steamer Alabama left on
the same day for New Orleans.
The steamship Telegraph is expected
here this evening. When Capt Wright
left there she was then raising steam to
get of-she was slightly aground.

we shall be among The number fthe truly
opnIent if we live within them, and live
contentedly. The perpetual ambition TO
be thought greater than we are is source
of contempt TO those above US, of derision
to those below, and ofcontinual discomfort
TO ourselves. Nor can the mesh thrown
over our circumstances by the articles of
vanity long deceive one except, perhaps,
few strangers, who are hardly worth
deceiving. Our means, as we'll as our
characters, will sooner or later become
known, in spite of any disguise with which
we may attempt TO invest them, and the
detection in the use of The instruments of
deception, only shows that whatever other
gifts we may have, we at least are deficient
in honesty. The really rich, then, are not
persons merely oflarge means, but persons
oflarge means relatively with the positions
they desire to hold in society. A poor
duke would be rich artisan, simply be-
cause in the latter case there are not the
same demand for large expenditure The
same relation holds through all classes of
society; so that man to become rich has
only to descend from the pedestal on which
his pride has exalted him, and conform to
the usages of less ambitious men. OF all
things in this wide world pride is the most
expensive, and extravaganza habit acquired
just subtracts proportionate quantity of
wealth, and impoverishes the person who
yields to it. Every man has the secret of
becoming rich who resolves TO live within
his means; and independence is one of the
most etIecIual safeguards ofhenestY.

A FTER TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE
m DR., EVANS has learnd the art Of manufac-
turing Pills which are good for all grades of
diseases in every kind of climate.
The Doctor prepares them at the rate of ten
bushels per day Winchester measure So that
twill be easy to supply in quantity what they
may lack in kind. This is an important con-
slderaton; because the pills are administered
by filling the patient per<ectly full of them, and
then reducing others by mixing them with tar
and the white of eggs, into a glutinous mass,
spreading the same entirely over the external
surface so as to preclude the entry ofdsease.
But facts are better than theory The readers
attention is called to the following certificate
We certify that Jammie McGram, Of New
ton county, had a calf most dreadfuly afflicted
with the straddles. II suffered under the add.
tioual misfortune of having neither horns nor
tail. In short said calf seemed from its very
birth to have been the child of misfortune DIR.
Evans was called in and before he had admins
tered more than two or three bushels, French
measure of his dclectabe pills the straddles had
wholly disappeared, and in few hours more
so rapid was the recovery, that the said calf was
adorned with TWO beautiful pair Of horns, one in
front the other in the roar, and it was literally
covered with tails from one end TO the other.

THE REILLY RIcH.-There is no grea-
ter tallaey than the supposition that opu-
lence consists in the eujoyments Of large
income. The man whose expenditure
equals his income IS in reality poor man,
whatever position be may occupy in the
eve Of the world; while person moving IN
a Car lower sphere may in truth be wealthy,
ifhis income be more than proportionate 10
his prctensions. There is no species Of
poverty more urgent or distressing than
that which seeks its concealment in the
displays ofopuleuce, nor is there any which
throws 50 many Temptations in the way Of
honesty. The riches rejected by the

MAVAMOROS TAKEN-

The steamship Telegraph has just ar
rived from Point Isabel Through the
poitenesS of her obIiging clerk, we have
been furnished with the following iulor-
nation:
REPoRTs-That on the afternoon Of
the lib, detachment Of 800 regulars and
$50 volunteers, proceeded TO Barila and
took possession of it, aud established de-
pot. In the niehtof the 18th, an express
arrived from Gen Taylor, stating that he
had crossed the Rio Gfande and taken the
city Of Matamoros without opposition, the
Me2cuns having fed the city.
The MeXicanS from last accounts were
deserving their ranks in baltaians.
Two American Regiments, with the ex.
ception of about $50, having marched a
few days previous, We're stationed at Bras.
oS Point, awaiting the orders of Gen. r.,
and it was thought they would leave on
the 2Oth for MaumoraS, via the old Barta
road Col. Mcintosh, Capt. Page, aud all
the others that were wounded in the action
of the Slh and 9th. are al Point Isabel, and
were recovering.
The Telegraph is just &c hours from
Point Isabel, and has on board Two cabin
and deck passengers.
Capt Aud Of the Telegraph, who has
had opportunities for correct Information,
has given us some interesting particulars
in relalionto our army operations 10 which
we have now scarcely time 10 allude.
Captain A. thinks the whole number OF
our killed mud wounded must amount TO
more than 800 Besides the wounded Ia.
ken to ST. JoSephS, there are now about 40
nj Point Isabel, too badly wounded TO be
Temoved-all but three, it is thought, will
recover. There are three Mexican prSo-
nels having but one leg between them all.
After Col Mcintosh was shot in the arm,
he received a severe wound in the mouth,
which passed through one side of his head.
There are hopes oE his recovery. The
condition Of the esteemed Captain Page
is melancholy indeed. The whole of his
lower jaw, with part Of his tongue aud
palate, is shot away By grape shot lie
still survives though entirely incapable OF
speech lie communicates his thoughts
by writing on a slate, aud receives the ne
ceSSarv uulriment TO support life with
much difficulty. He does not desire TO
live, but converses with checrlnlneSS and
cxultaiion on the success our arms, and
concluded an answer 10 some iuterrogato-
ries concerning the battle Of the 9th, by
writing: awe gave the MeEicans h-llP
All our accounts represent the Mexi-
cans as having fought on the Stlt and 9th
with a courage ana desperation that would
have reflected credit on the troops OF any
nation. They were nearly 10 state OF
starvation, and had been promised the am
pie supplies Of the American camp, IN case |
they would secure the victory. They

During the week the most active PREPARATIONS
have been made TO give effect to the measures
OF Congress for vigorous prosecution of the
war with Mexico. We do not doubt that the
large discretion given to the President will be
found to be in safe hands While the public
may rest assured that the utmost care will be
used 10 consult economy, and to secure a force
competent 10 the protection Of the national honor
and to a speedy termination of the war, we do
not apprehend that half the authorized number
Of troops will be Immediately mustered into
service. True economy and due regard to
the highest national Interests, however, makeit
indispensable that force shall be at once put
into active service, extraordinary for us in pout
Of numbers, aud 50 large that officers of the
highest rank will Of necessity be in command.
From the mixed character Of the corps-parIy
ofreguIar troops, and more largely of volun.
tcers--it seems natural that the general in.chief
Of the Amy, sholld take the fiell.-and we pre-.
sumo that General Scott will, as a matter of
course, assume the command.
We understand that the volunteer troops TO
be Immediately called into service will be taken
from the States nearest to the scene of opera.

been issued Measures have also been taken
TO save the residue Of the authsrized force or.
