Correspondence Of the Newark Daily Ad-
vertiser. -
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, Is.

WASHINGTON Dec. 10, 1910.
An officer of the army informs me that the
plan is not 10 send one civilian merely To the
theatre of war in Mexico, for which capacity
| mentioned that Mr.. Benton had been spo-
ken of, but that it is in serious contemplation
10 constitute board of commissioners, three
in number, who are to proceed with The army
and enforce atreaty with Mexico. This
officer, who is recently from the scene of ac-
ton, gives il as his opinion that there will be
but one more battle before the conclusion oil
peace.
He also represents that great ill-will and
much heart-burning exist between the vol
unteers and regulars, and that the former
think they have been invidiously excluded
from active participation in the campaign
wherever it was possible 10 give the latter a
preference. His description OF the havoc
which disease and pestience have wrought
upon our forces on the Rio Grande is mel
ancholy indeed. Not less than fifteen hun
dred have been buried between that point
and Camargo; and some idea Of the privA-
ton suffered may be derived from single
fact which he related, viz. that he had seen
a man, who, at home might have comman-
ded the possession of $4,000, wrapped in
his blanket and thrust into the earth like d
dog.
Verify the full force of the oriental bene-
diction-'May ye die among your kindred
must have rushed to the hearts Of many Of
these poor fellows. If groans and blood
could be weighed, If mortal agony admitted
of com putaiion, The true cost Of wars would
startle those into whose cold calculations u
ends to be accomplished the amount of gold
enters, while that of misery is shut out.

THEINFALLIBLE MESSAGE.

The less intelligent portion ofthe loco par
iy profess to believe that there is not single
statement Of facts in the Presidents Mess
age which msy not be fully relied upon as
true But certain il is that in treating Of the
Tariff especially, assertions, assumptions,
and conclusions the mOstlalse and deceptive
are constantly occurring. We have the char
ity to believe. however, that like most South
cru men, he is entirely ignorant OF many
things whereof he attempts to affirm.
Among other things,he repeatedly declares
that Great Britain has abandoned the Protec-
tive policy by her recently enacted Tariff
The industrious and spirited Editor OF The
Waterman says he has before him this Iden-
iical British Tariff as published in the West
minister Review ofSept. 1916, and thus he
quotes:

Gen Wool, had been ordered by Gen.
Taylor 10 occupy The the town Of Pena.
The inhabitants made no opposition 10 Gen.
w. but were prepared TO receive him peace
ably. His troops were enjoying excellent
health, and we're in the finest state oil disci-
pline.
II is said on good authority that Santa An
ma, fearing that the new Congress which is
about 10 assemble al the Capitol, would not
sustain him, had wandered thiIher with 1000
men. under the pce;ence OF putting down an
uther outbreak among the poputace.
Gen Shields was TO take command al Tam

Gen. Tillow was 10 take command fthe
volunteers attached 10 Gen. PatIcrson's brig

A rumor prevailed at Brazos OH the 1lth
inst, and was generally believed that 60
Government Wagons with provisions and
specie had been captured by Canales, on
the road between Camargo and Mier.
1t was believed that Santa Anna intended
10 harrass Gen. Taylor, and make Il stand a
gainst HIM which would soon require hard
fighting. 1t is now conceded by the officers
of our army generally that the Mexicans
will fight
Potosi is very strongly fortified. and addi-
lions are daily made 10 lis strength. ltmay
be that the batteries of Palo Alto, Rcsaca de
la PalNa and Monterey are specimens Of
what may Occnr before San Luis de Potosi.
Officers believe that harder fight than any,
yet before them. San Luis is one of the
richest cities in Mexico, being directly in the
mining districts.
1t was understood that Gen. Taylor would
occupy all The ports and Towns upon the
line Corporations 10 Tampco. He would
shortly take up his line Of march upon Vic
roria. where, saith rumOr, Santa Anna has
10000 choice troops. The possession OF Vic
ioria Is Indispensable 10 his movements, to
secure his line OF communication in an at
tack upon PoOsi. Sonia Anna would no
.loubI resist the attempt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1916.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1876.
This is the first day since the opening OF
the present. session, that the House has shown
any disposition to Transact actual business,
aud even this spasmodic effort. was Entered
away by the extent Of Improbable discussion
on the claims that we're under consideration.
large portion Of the majority. particularly
in the great States, were defeated in the re-
cent elections. and their last hope now is, by
servile laudaiion of the Executive, to pen-
sion themselves upon the public service,
through the remainder OF this feeble and mis-
chievous administration. Hence, the amount
of time thut has already been consumed in
speech making, devoted to The homage Of
Mr.. Polk and the defence Of his war.
Signs of resistance are beginning TO show
themselves among the Loco Focos Of The
West, against the lax on tea and coffee, pro-
posed by the administration, and, for once,
there is prospect, in these quarters at least,
Of adhesion 10 their proclaimed purpose.
Ever since Mr.. Folks treachery to the West
on the Oregon question, and the veto Of the
Harbor Bill, the intercourse between him
and its representatives has been limited, and
been one rather Of federation Than friendship.
Some few, like flanagan have had the man
illness to denounce him in all the political
circles, while others, who. 10 obtain Office
have kept up appearances. feel no less spite
and hostility. Much as The more negative
sort like the Administration, they like them
selves better and they know every chance
of political success and ambition would he
sacrificed, if they should yield to the recon-
mendatons Of the Executive, in taxing ara
ticIes made FREE by The Wing Tariff Df l8-
~. The spring election Of A, with tea and
coffee taxed, must be more fatal 10 them than
even the Waterloo disasters of the fall offs.
In this view, am almost persuaded. the
proposition will fail, whether urged as a war
measure, temporary expedient, or RENE
dy of necessity.

The northern galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1844-1848, 1846-12-29
Washington Cores onde nee
ofthe A tlas.


A sharp and very Improbable discussion
occurred in the House, between MIR. Gid
dings and Mr. Payne, on the reference ofihe
Presidents message, which necessarily IN
vOlved a discussion Of the causes and objects
of The war, and called out bitter expressions
on both sides. Mr.. Payne assumed that Mr..
Giddibss spoke for the Wing party, and
treated his arguments accordingly; though
he has had quite enough experience in The
House TO know that Mr.. G.ddings emhodes
no such authority.
The game of the Administration, and of its
party in Congress, is, 10 force the Wing par
ty into an altitude of great hosrilii, 10 the
prosecution Of the war. in order 10 gain the
advantage of the double cry Of persecution
of the Executive and opposition 10 the coun-
try. Various movements have been made TO
this effect already, but with little success, as
the object was understood. The course Of
our friends on this, as on all other great pub
lie topics, is straight forward one, and
needs no concealinent. We consider the
war rs national calamity, the evil effects oil
which will be felt for generation TO come.
We believe il was made for other purposes
Than those professed by the President, and in
direct violation Of the written word of the
Constitution. We consider that, inasmuch
as wal does exist, no matter by whose act ii
may have been caused,it concerns the nation
al honor that it should be conducted 10
d speedy and successful termination.
With these views, the Wings in Congress
ntsnd 10 sustain all the Supply Bills recon-
mended by the Executive, and to vote all
loans and appropriations necessary to ena-
bic him to uphold the public honor. now that
it is involved. This duty discharged, and
peace restored, another equally important
one remains TO be performed. The Admin
islraton must be held TO a severe accounta-
bility for plunging the country into an I'M
necessary wa', and for every dollar of public
debt which has been, ormay be, incurred in
consequence.
