Owing to an error which escaped our notice last
week, we re.publish the following article. In the
22d line from the commencement the word DIS
graceful should have been disagreea6ie:
The subscribers having had the flag OF their
country presented to them yesterday on the hed'
to march forward as the standard-bearers oi the
volunteers, must naturally feel sollcitous that the
HONOR of that flag may be in all things sustained
A few words therefore, we trust, will not be DEEM
ed unreasonable either by our companions in arms,
whose generous devotion to the country's welfare,
we regard with feelings of pride, admiration and
pleasure, or by our fellow citizens at large. From
the spirit manifested yesterday, and The numbers
already enrolled, we say that company VIII Dc
made up. To doubt that would be TREASON to
good old Monroe 1t would be casting stain up
on her hitherto untarnisheI honor, But the ques'
ton is how soonl And most important question
lit is. For thirty companies only, can be received
| from the whole State, and il we should be but .
little too late, others win pre-occupy the post OF
honor, and we shall be told to hold ourselves IN
RESERVE A circumstance that will no doubt be
as dlsagreeable TO our 32 companlons IN arms
as to ourselves In the long dull calm OF civil life
the blood grows sluggish and the affections chill
| No stirring events, no bold adventures, no start
ling incidents, no hairbreadih escapes, break the
dull monotony Of the scene. Some of us may
possibly fall on the field OF fame. But when slow
rolling years, shall have banched the locks OF TN
survivors with snow, when the hand begins t
tremble and the eye grow dim, the old mans bloot
will grow hot again and bis eye resume the fire 0
youth, as he recounts the scenes Of the Mexican
Campaign! (" Come on then and enroll ydurselye
for the glorious strife"
We have the roll OF the volunteers, others cal
be enrolled at any time by application to either o
us, as well as on our regular parade days As sool
as full company shall have been made up, we vii
be entitled to report ourselves through the Brgad
Inspector, to the Adjutant Generals office and sc

WISCONSIN ELECTION.

We receive this morning by the Mil

first item of intelligence from the election
in Wisconsin, and it is certainly very en-
couraging. The Wings have undoubted-
ly elected their Register. Sheriff, Treasu-
rer and one member of the Legislature in
the County of Milwaukee. On the Del
egate, SAYS the Gazette, the Locofocos
probably have majority. The result is
considered perfectly satisfactory by the

ty, the Locofoco majority has been be-
licvek to be at least 500.-N. Y. Courier

under General Worth, is now well on to
Montery, and the second, under Col. p.
I. Smith, and Third, under Col. Garland.

with lie Second Dragons, aud Major
Monroe, with the Artillery, are to move
forward in the same direction. These,
with the Texans, Ohio and Kentucky VOL
unteers, all under the command OF Old
Rough and Ready, will constitute an ef-
lec,ivc force of 1890 men. But a por-
tion of these, however. will proceed to
Monterey, the remainder will be station
Cd at different posts in the rear, to guard
them and preserve communication with
the supplies. This is not pleasant SER
vice for those who are''eager for the fray" "
but itcan't be helped.
The want Of proper means of land
transportation is severely felt; although
General Taylor has an effective force of
nearly fifteen thousand men, not a single
additional wagon has yet arrived, and the
conveyance of baggage and accoutrements
is effected exclusively by mules, ofwhich
some 1900 or 1000 have been hired or
purchased from the Mexcans.
You have doubtless learned ere this,
that on the 25ih. General Worth arrived
az the town Of Salslo, some 20 miles dis
taa;, an4 there awaits the arrival of the

The Washing ton correspondent OF the
Baltimore Patriot, under date of the 4th
instant, writes:
81 understand that the Collector and
Deputy Collector Of the port of Baltimore
came over here yesterday, with upwards
of$40,0O0 in gold and silver, to make
deposite OF the same with the Treasurer
OF the United States, in conformity with
the new subtreasury law. am inform
ed that the day was spent by five or six
clerks and messengers in counting the
money, which work was not completed
until some time to-day. Ii was a labori-
Gus task. And the same process will
have TO be gone through with, suppose
by all the Government officers who re-
ceive the public money from impost or
post-office duties, all round about here
at Richmond, Fredericksburg. Alexandra,
Norfolk, Annapolis, Georgetown. Freder-
ick;own, Winchester, Harper's Ferry,
&C., as well as Baltimore. A nice busi-
ness OF receiving and counting the clerks
and messengers of the Treasurer's Office
will have, sure enough What else can
they do? Who will perform their other
duties? The fact is, new officers of re-
ceivers and counters will have 10 be forth

Maine Election,

We give below returns from the great
er portion Of The State, embracing nearly
the whole of all the Counties, except
Aroostook. They confirm the complete
rout and discontinue Of the Loco Foco
candidate for Governor, who is beaten, by
majority against him Of not less than
FIVE THOUSAND! In first district, Ham
mons, Loco is probably elected, by a
bare majority. In the second, fourth,
fifth and sixth, now represented by Locos;
there is no choice. In the third, Hon.
Hiram Belcher is running ahead Of the
Whig ticket, and is elected by majority
OF more than thousand.
The Portland Advertiser thinks that
two Wings are elected in Somerset, fonr
in Lincoln, and three in Kennebec. If so
with one in York, the Wings will have
ten Senators. The Locos have probably
not elected more then seven or eight.
The political complexion of the House
will depend altogether upon the manner
in which the vacancies are filled up at the
coming trials, which may be prolonged
uiiouSh ulc yedI, even 10 tIie last u3y OF
the session ofthe new Legislature. We
have returns of the election Of 27 Wings,
10 Locos, Aboiiionist, and 43 no
