ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES
THE OREGON CUES TION.

The London Times says, the accounts
from the United States by the Hibemia, 10
the beginning Of April, excited good deal
of attention. The message of Mr.. Polk to
Congress is not considered warlike. Indeed,
some Of the public writer's profess to see The
best guaranty for the continuance Of peace,
in the expense TO which the country will be
put by arming for conflict. Seventy mil
lions of dollars bestowed upon putting the
army and navy on footing for commencing;
The emergency of the case, would induce
every man who contributed his quota. to
that astonishing sum to inquire into its ne
cessity.
The following extracts from an article in
the London Times, of the 18th ult., show
that that paper does not look the line of 49
deg. even as certain line of agreement,
and gives also the latest opinion which we
find on this question:,
In the whole course Of these
negotiations, that which has changed mos,
completely, is the claim setup by the Aneri-
cans. In 1918 and 1928, The territory in
dispute was expressly asserted and Clearly
understood, 10 be comprised between the
42d and 49th degreesof latitude. As for the
more northern tract between 40 and 81 40,

ed the whole Of that region, but no more.
Since that time, and in their more recent
discussions, they have laid claim to the Who'll
country; and then, as ift were the furihesl
limits OF condescension and concession, they
revert 10 their former offer, the very same
which they before rejected. They

Bill with violence 2roportionei 20 Ether value
to the people at large. Remove from the In
dcpendcns Treasury this provision Of ad.
herence to the currency Of the constitution, and
its passage would be hailed by no part nf the pee
pie with satisfaction 1t would be delusive and
worthless. There would be added, il is true the
additional expense for safes, treasurers, clerks,
&C. but the expansions and contractons of the
currency would still affect the country, equally
| as now, and Government would be, as sheretofors,
defrauded whenever it suited the interests or
eessities of the bankers. 1t is possible that the
power of corruption at present possessed, though
not exercised, by the Secretary of the Treasury
would be in some degree lessencd, but there
would be little permanent good accomplished. -
But the "great interess' of The country, say
the Federalists require banks, and the banks re-
qure government patronage, and of couse the
Independent Treasury with the specic clause
would not help these great interests. Very trusa
The colossal manufacturers who are now import

in the manufactures may want banks to carry on
their schemes of selfish aggrandizemsnt. But
the little interests Of .he Western Farmer and
mechanic are or ought to be just as valuable 20
government as those OF the heavy monied Mono
poltts and their interests will never be helped BY
banks. Men in the Republic should never be
balanced against gold-or against fiimsy repre-
sentation Of it in the shape Of rag money. Well

MAJOR GENERAL BUTLER. The Louisville
papers publish extracts from letter from this
officer, who was wounded in the leg at Monte
rey, by musket ball, which entered below the
knee, ranged round the bone, and passed out
on the opposite side. He states that his regi-
ment of 1000 had about $50 killed and wound
ed. The Louisville Journal in referring TO the
ISLANDERS uttered against this officer, says:
Gen. Butler had express orders to make the
charge which he did make, and he performed
the hazardous duty with his Characteristic chv-
airy.
PROFESSIONALLY Gen Butler is somewhat
reckless where only his own personal safety is
concerned, but no officer, if we are rightly in
formed, is more Iegardtul ofthe lives ofthe men
entrusted to his charge He leads his lollowc S
uniinchlngly into all necessary perils, but into
no other. We were never proud of him as a
representative of Kentucky politics in Wash
ington city, but we are proud of him as rep.
resentative of Kentucky chvalry in the battle
fields of Mexico He will bear the banners OF
his State in honor wherever his military duties
may call him, and she will take pleasure in re-
warding him for all the glory he may bring TO
her, with public dinners, with trlumphal pro-
cessions-in short, with anything or everything
except political Office. To obtain that at, her
hands, he will have to turn Wing.

plain militia an undyiug renown. Randolph
Ridgely, another of the Mary flanders, who dis
tinguished himself so much at the battles OF
Palo Alto and Resaca De la Palma, was again
conspicuous at Monterey. Having found p
FOUNDER in one Of the forts taken from the
Mexicans, he erected platform for it in the
fort, and turned it upon the enemy with the
most destructive effect. Capt Rldgcly, after
pointing the gun himself, was observed con-
stanty to mount the platform with spy-glass
and watch the effect Of each ball, and manifest
ed the greatest enthusiasm and delight when his
shot told well among The enemy. Capt. r. is
said to have no superior, as artillerist, in the
army. We never tire in reading the accounts
of heroic acts in our little army-und wo hope
these things interest, also, all our readers.

and we were in fair way to capture it, when
the order came to charge into the city. Oul
noble Colonel Immediately obeyed- marched
us from the fort and led bravely on to the city
The men under my command, noble, whole
soulcd fellows, followed in beautiful style, de-
termined to do or die, amid the hottest fire un-
der which man ever lived. 1t beggars all des-
crption. Many brave soldiers saw and felt,
tut none can describe it in all its terrors
We succeeded in causing a panic in the
town, but found the place too well def nded to
justify perseverance in that direction. We were
then marched against one Of the forts, led
bravely on by our gallant Colonel, tCho ioGs kill
ed IN The charge. The General in command
ordered us 10 retire beyond the reach of the
enemies cannon-where we remained the rest
of the day.
The loss Of the Chesapeakes was one killed,
Sergeant Henning, and four wounded | my
self received not a scratch. On my way to
camp that night met man who was sent for
me with tent and three poles to bring me in,
but thank God ! did not need them. Some
one had reported that they saw me fall, but of
course it was not true.
The next day the fighting was principally
with Artillery, during which Gen. Worth dis
tngulshod himself by taking very strong
fort, and the day after was very much the same.
Gen, Worth sent flag to know if they would
suspend hostIities one hour for burying the
dead. They refused and the battle began more
furiously than ever, and was kept up all day.
At night we were all glad enough to find time
for rest and for paying kindful attention to the
wounded.
After the renewal of hostihtes, in the morn
ing, the enemy sent to US for time to let their
women and children get out of the town, but
were refused. At night an officer called TO see
Gen. Taylor with an offer to evacuate the city
taking with them their arms and other pro-
perty. The General, of course, declined ac-
ceding 10 their request. They then invited
him to an interview with Ampuda. He went
escorted by Col. Mays Dragons, and about
midnight returned to camp, having agreed for
the evacuation of the town, and an armistico
of eight weeks. Am

OCTOBER MUSINGS.

BY SAMUEL II, ELLIS.
The days are melancholy now,
There's sadne s in the sky,
Amid the breeze, are waings heard,
OF flowers dOom'd TO die.
The little hills, that wore crown,
Of gladness, on each brow,
Looking so cheerful, and so green,
Have lost their freshness now.
How desolate the wood will be,
When every bird has fed,
And leaves that once had hues so bright,
Lie in the valley dead.
Wen tread the broad deep aises and hear,
The wOodmaR's axe re ,ound
Bringing with blows, the monarch oak,
All helpless to the ground,
The bonny redbreast from the hedge,
Sings still at dawn of day,
Her tales of love, as sweerly now,
As when the wood was gay.
Her plaintVe voice, oft woo's US back;
Like some bewitchiRg strain,
To happier days, that never can
Return TO us again.
The dahlia too, so fine and proud,
Now with its Ilden cres
Must shortly feel, the cold winds blow
And wither with the crest.
So earthly hopes, all dazzling fair.
They guild the heart with cheer,
Shine for while, bright as a star,
Then quickly disappear
Butthere's gem, that time nor change.
One single hue can blight,
The sea ,oas come and go 1t still
Shines on, with purer Light.
Religion-Itfls the soul with love,
FlOm founts that never dry,
And lends il wings of perfume tee,
To fiuItcr through the sky.

Sept. 81, is addressed to the Union;
You have, no doubt, had official information
some days, relating TO the battles Of the 2lst,

to say any more ofthe bloody conflict, cons-
der it due to Lieut.. Taylor, of company B, un-
der the command of Capt. Piper, of the Balt-
more volunteers, to say that his conduct, dur
ing the three days. fight, was brave and gal
lant and that he is the gentleman that recov-
cred the dead body of our brave Lit. Col. Wat
son, under the heavy fire of the enemy. To-
day Gen. Twlggs met the officers of our batta-
lion, and conferred the honor Of colonel com,
handing the battalion, on Capt James E
Stewart, of Baltimore city, it being due to hin
as the senior captain; as also reward of mer

We learn that, besides their own supplies
our army took, on the 2lst and ED ultimo, a
