Capt. Ramsey, of the Ordnance Department, who
has all these things in CHARGE informs me that an i'm
mense quantity of musket cartridges have been found
concealed in the city since the property named in the
foregoing invoices turned over by the enemy
also, many other articles in the shape of arms and
munitions. Much property doubt remains yet
concealed.
As for provisions, enough was found in the city to
subslst our army and the citizens month"; and it is
known that the enemy carried off large quantities Of
ammunition and provisions during the attack III.
I PRINCIPAL REDoUBTs CAPTURED SURRENDERED.
"A brief description of the principal redoubs of the
enemy, the east and north of the town. will convey
some idea of the difficulties which troops encoun-
! tered and overcame:
lst. A strong redoubt of masonry of four faces,
with an open gorge of ten feet, prepared for four
guns, overlooked and commanded by large stone
house in rear; prepared with sand bags and loop
holes for infantry.
3D. Strong redoubt of four faces, open gorge of
twenty feet prepared for three guns.
3d. Fleches Of Masonry for infantry
4th. Tete de pont in front of the bridge of the
Purisina, strong work of Masonry for three guns
9th Strong redoubt for one gun, not occupied by
the enemy.
9th. strong redoubt of masonry for three guns,
overlooking the approaches from Cadareyta and COM
handing the gorge of No. 2.
7th. strong redoubt of masonry for three guns
overlooked and commanded by large stone house
prepared for infantry with loop holes and sand BAGS
Nos 2 3, 4, D, 9 and z were connected by breast
works of earth and brush for infantry thus forming
complete line of defence from 10 z. Barricades
Of masonry, twelve feet thick, with embrasures for
guns, were met with in every direction. The house
tops and garden walls (he reader will remember the
peculiar construction OF the houses) were loop-hoed
throughout the city, and prepared with sand bags
for infantry defence.
9Th. Fort Independence, or citadel.-A large rec
tang1ar stone building, walls only standing, sur
rounded By an enclosed work, of solid masonry. of
four Fashioned fronts, and prepared for thirty lone
guns continual fire of artillery from this place
was kept up during the Doth, 2Ist 22d and 23d.-
From No. along the southern edge of the town

for guns and banquettes for infantry extended

GoLD AND SILvER-According to a document pub
lshed in the ouna! Of Mines, Of ST. Petersburg, the
following amounts of gold silver and patna appear
to have been coined and circulated in the Russian
Empire, from 1864 to 1914, or $50 years:

GENERAL ScoTT.-The "North American IN an
article filled with fuslian and bombast, which is in
tended TO dispaTage the Administration and glorify
General Scott, speaks Of the latter the "chained
eagle who wears out his heart against the chain that
keeps him from the field of glory
We knew that the Eagle" by refusing to go to
Mexico, had lost all his tail feathers. (alias, his
chance for the Prcsidency.) which seemed TO be so
much the object Of his care; but We did not know
that he had been engaged m denudipg his breast ALSO
He must now be exposed front and rear, and might,
with propriety, we presume, be emphaticaly denom-
mated picked bird.-lSouthern Standard.

DANIEL WEBSTER says President Polk ought TO be
impeached for ordering Gen. Taylor beyond the Nue.
ces the hypothesis, of course, that that river is
the true boundary of Texas acquired by the of
Annexation. Now, it so happens that Mr.. Webster,
when Secretary Of State, commended that the Rio
Grande was the boundary of Texas. Was he then
advocating improbable doctrines!

wings turned Agrarians--let us see ft
ouf--goad will come Of IL.

We notice that the New York Tribune has opened
the discussian with the Express and Courier and En-
Quirer on the subject of Association Fourierism.
The subject involves many others of equal importance
We are therefore reoiced TO see the commencement
of the discussion, and hope that IL will be conducted
in manner elicit truth. If so conducted Its effect
will be good II will lead the public mind 10 reflect
on our social condition. and to seek and finally
apply remedy the evils Of our social organization
One of the principal questions involved in this dis
cussion is the monopoly of the land II is full Of
interest, and requires thorough Investigation
The celebrated French monarch who said wish
that every peasant in France mig have fowl IN his
pot Sundays, though much praised for the benevo-
ence of his wish, hardly meets the expectations and
desires of the present generation. We think that he
might have expanded his benevolence and wished that
every peasant in France might be freeholder; for
then the peasant would have had both the freehold and
the fowl, only upon Sundays but upon every other
day of the week. The peasant then would have been
independent and free from the and anxietes Of
starvation, which, the monarch's wish shows, was
constantly staring him in the face.
We therefore wish that every American citizen
might be freebooter. We would like to see the
broad expanse Of this fertile country cut up into farms
of one two hundred acres, and every farm neatly
titled by industrious farmer Our citizens would
be happier and more independent and this great val
ley of the Mississippi would soon become the garden
and granary of the world. The scheeming specHla-
tor would not be seen about the time Of an election
attempting to bride and influence his tenants, nor
would he be seen depressing those who refused to
comply with his wishes The weak and sickly and
broken constitutions of crowded manufacturing dis
lrcts would vanish from our land, and we would have
the upright walk and stawart arm, the strengths and
| vigor of manhood.
We hardly know how this is TO be accomplished,
unless put stop TO the monopoly Of land in the
hands of the rich Under the present order Of things
few spectators with ten thousand acres Of land in
each county able to keep up the price Of lands
above their actual value Thus men who would add
millions annually to the wealth Of our State. IN
able purchase and driven into the wildernesses
| Of the far West.
We rejoice then that the land monopoly has be-
come a subject of discussion among the Wings, and
hope that remedy will be pointed by which tc
correct this acknowledged evil.-Ohio Statesman.

OS.5-In noticing the result of the recent special
election in Monroe county, we stated that we were
informed that no less than sir professed democrats
doggedly remained in the field, and thus caused the
election of whig We have since learned that one
of the six aspirant, JACOB L. PAYNE, had mag
nanimty enough to withdraw from the canvass Previ-
Gus to the election, and did what he could to effect
that unanmity necessary not only to the success,
but also the character, of the party and its profess
sions. BY this act, In our opinion, he has gained
quite as much honor he could have acquired by
election, and proved that lie entitled TO the conf
dence Of the Democracy of Monroe; who, we feel
confident will long give substantial evidence Of it.
We thank Mr.. Payne, not only for ourselves, but in
behalf Of the Democratic party of the State.

BREADsTUFFs TO GREAT BRITAlN.-The amount OF
articles which serve for Bread and which were sent
to Great Britain during the last week. are, as nearly
as be ascertained, something like this: Indian
corn, $4,000 bushels Hour, II 543 barrels; wheat.
23,56l bushels; rice, 202, 900 pounds OF other
kinds of provisions the expectation is also large viz
cheese, 2S2 600 pounds butter, 9,640 pounds; beef
5S terces and 545 barrels pork $40 barrels lard,
l23.l'2 pounds 1t requires the labor Of many of
agricultural citizens produce all these things,
and yet they are only the amount exported to one
country in week. Who will say that the tariff of
1916 is injurious to the people Of this republic while
the farmer, the merchant the sailor the steyedore
the ongshoreman and thousands of others are engaged
in brisk trade with foreign nations in the matter of
eaabeS alone, to say nothing of the many other pro-
auctions Of this country which are sent to the same
country, at the same time saying nothing of the ex
ports to other countries IN. Y. Globe

say, the 4th Of March every 4th year. IL it did,
'wever, the Inauguration would take place on that
day.
