strong sagacity, and his long public services and
known in the State as the "whee-hsrse of democra-

Congress, before he had heard Of the measures
adopted in Washington
"The news from Matamoras is discouraging. |
hope the President has given you strong message,
requiring about $4,000 volunteers and $4,000, 900
appropriated Halfway measures are no measures on
any occasion. Send Scott, at the head Of $4,000
men, straight to the city of Mexico, where he will be
more in place than an asprant for the presidency.

Great Britain shows her hand. She may be little

FURTHER DETAILS FROM THE ARMY.
The mail brought over from Brazos Santiago, by
the Florida, was not distributed ill yesterday
morning, when we received whole budget of let
ters, the contents of which have generally been
anticipated. Communications between "Fort Tay-
lor," as the camp opposite Matamoras is termed
and Point Isabel had been so interrupted that let
ters bearing date the Oath ult, came through with
those of the Sd instant One of our communca-
lions was from Lieutenant Henry, dated the 9th
uIt, one day later than a former letter Of his,
which we published, IN regard to Captain Thorn
toms surprise and supposed death.
We should publish the second letter. but that its
contents we're principally anticipated by the mar
rative we gave yesterday Lieutenant Henry men
tons, however, that Captain Thornton came near
making his escape after all. His horse jumped
down bank with him, and he lay some time in
sensible The bruises he then received were his
only wounds. He was repeatedly shot at, but es-
capped all harm, and actually reached within five
miles Of the camp. The surprise occurred about 26
miles from camp-when he was taken prisoner by
Mexican picket guard. General Ampudia is en-
deavoring to redeem his character for humanity by
the treatment of his prisoners.
Had we ROOM we should be glad to give series
of letters which have reached US from officers at
Fort Taylor. They all breathe the right spirit.
The following, however, we will not suppress as it
shows the feeling which exists in the camp, and is
the very latest date received thence:
FoRT TAYLOR, CAMP OPPOSITE MATAMoRAs,

DEAR FRIENDS: The ball opened yesterday morn
ing from the Mexican line. They fired the first
shots at reveile and the way 4, g. and IL q Think
pound shot flew about these parts was sin, and
their mortars throwing shells kept the atmosphere
in continual confusion with their "whiz Whit bang"
all the time. But, Notwithstanding the 'star-span-
gled banner" still waves the "and of the free
and home of the brave" Their firing did not cease
until IL last night. | suppose tomorrow will be a
duplicate ofto-day.
It would have warmed the wax in your ears to
have heard our 1S-pounders give out the cry"
One shot struck in the embrasure of the enemy's
works, and knocked cannon, carriage, embrasure
and men "into FITS" We have no mortars Had
we received those General Taylor requested from
Washington when he first came to Corpus Christi,
we should have left more bricks in that town than
there are Sin my hat" But, sir, this is only the in

perhaps, the a-6red-est fight Gf they'll agree) that

The New York Courier and Enquirer has the

The New York Courier and Enquirer has the
following
alt is believed, in many quarters, that the whole
story of Mexican invasion, upon which the warlike
action of government has been based is at best
gross exaggeraton of the actual facts and that all
that has been done by the Mexicans, in the way of
commencing hostilities, has been done without u
thority, and will be disavowed by the central gov.
eminent. The Journal Of Commerce intimates that
some two or three hundred Mexican troops may
have crossed the Rio Grande for the purpose of
procuring provisions; and that this is the whole ex
tent Of the invasion which has created 80 much
alarm in the United States. And the National In
teigencer expresses the doubt whether the Cross
| ing of the Rio Grande by the Mexican forces has
been authorized at all by the governmental Mexico
and whether it will not be promptly rebuked and
disavowed by it, The French Courier expresses
| the same OPINION"
| Truly there be wise men among US Are these Jour-
nails so much afraid of the war with Mexico, either
in its national aspect, in the party view which
they insist upon taking of it, that they seek to state
it out of existence in their columns We shall be
glad to find that less American blood has been shed
than was at first supposed But really we think it
pretty well proved by this time that Mexico means
to make war. These sceptics may as well look at
| the manifesto of Paroles in another column.
The democracy of the first congressional district
of Missouri, comprising, among others, the county
| of st. Louis, have nominated Mr.. James b. Bowlin
as their candidate for seat it the thirtieth Con-
gress.
The faithful and able manner in which he hns
represented his noble and patriotic constituency
never, for moment, hesitatng to follow his prnci-
pies and his party, in adversely as we'll as prosperi-
ty-has we'll entitled him to the high honor and ia
yor which have been extended to him in so hatter-
ING manner. In the large convention which as
sembled at Fredericktown, (about one hundred
miles south ofS Louis, and near the celebrated Iron
mountains; for, the district of Judge Bown fronts
near three hundred miles upon the Missouri and the
Mississippi rivers every vote, save the vote OF Per
ry county, was cast for him upon The first ballot
Thereupon the convention resolved unanimously to
recommend the democratic republicans of the district
to re-eect Judge Bowlin to the high office which ne
now so worthily fills. In him the administration, as
unit has found not only supporter, but friend;
and we cannot doubt that the friends of the admins
tration will give him an efficient support.

COLD FLOODED MURDER IN CHARLES
TOWN, MASS. The citizens of the town of
Charlestown were shocked yesterday morning
by the discovery of most appalling murder,
committed under very extraordinary circum-
stances, in boarding house kept by Mr., JAS
Potts, in Ferris street. The name of the
murdered man is Alexander Mcintosh, said to
be native ofPonnsylvaina, about 80 years of
age, and by trade worker in marble. The
murderer is a Scotchman, named Alexander
Ray, fellow workman with Mcintosh, both
being in the employ of Mr.. Martin Clausin.
1t appears that the two men boarded at the
house of Mr.. Potts, and slept in the same
room, in one bed together. On Sunday they
were lettering about in company, and were
seen together in the evening, drinking and
smoking, apparently on the best of terms.
1t was the opinion of witnesses that the
unhappy man was suffering from delerium
te1nenS.
Rum was probably the cause of the murder,
which is one of the most cold blooded upon
record.-BoSt Mail,

Fvcrrren SLAVE CASE IN NEW YoxK. A case

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE IN NEW YoKK. A case
was recently brought up in New York somewhat on
this wise: A slave concealed himself on board a
vessel while in slave state, and came to New York,
when the captain confined him in the hold Of the
vessel, whence he brought before the court on
writ of habeas corpus and after hearing on both
Sides was released the ground that the ooner had
not demanded the slaves return. A writ was then
taken out for the purpose of securing the fugitive
slave until his pretended owner could legally de-
mand him. From some accounts it appears that the
friends of the fugitive succeeded in conveying him
from danger, while other accounts state that he was
retaken Glorious priv ege for the painting fugitive
slave to live in country where all men are created
free and equal! "Hail Columbia, happy land!"
IL Since writing the above, we are informed
that the fugitive retaken, but on Saturday last
discharged and is now at liberty.
