DENTAL SURGEONS, of Bond street, New
IL York, having practiced the three past win
ters in this city, respectfully announce to their
friends and the public that they have concluded
to keep their Washington Office open during the
entire year in future at their present location on
Pennsylpania .auenue near Tenth Street, where one
or both of the partners may always be found in
attendance. They respectfully tender their pro
fessional services to their friends and the public,
and invite all who may require the advice and
skill of the experienced and practical Dentist to
call on them, learn their terms and examine their
claims to public confidence and patronage. They
would particularly call attention to their patent
method of fastening artificial teeth when set on
gold plate which is used by them alone in the city
of Washington. The most prominent advantages
are the following
1st. 1t saves the pain attendant upon the reno
val of the roots of the front teeth when in
healthy condition and makes those roots highly
useful in fastening the artificial teeth.
I'd. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, render
ing them always much less troublesome and more
useful in the process Of mastication than the COM
mon mode.
Sd. 1t renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which together with the peculiar simplicity
of the fastenings, enable the wearer to keep them
always clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated 1t is universally COM
mended by those who have availed themselves of
its advantages.

RAIL ROAD MEETING AT
ANDERSON c.. Fl.

A large and respectable meeting was
held at the Court House on Sale day,
to take into consideration the project of
connecting Greenville with Charleston
by Rail Road, which was organized by
calling the Hon. A. Evins to the chair,
and Maj. J. T. Broyles to act as Secre-
tary.
The object Of the meeting was ex,
planned by the Chairman, in a few
pointed and patriotic remarks.
On motion of L. Orr, a committeeof
five was appointed by the Chair to draft
a preamble and resolutions, expressive of
the sense of the meeting on the subject
of the proposed Rail Road.
The gentlemen composing the COM
mittee, viz J. L. Orr, A. Rice, w. M.
Nevett, H. Cobb, and S. Brown, after
having retired sometime, returned and
submitted the following
REPORT:
Your Committee concur fully, in the
universally received opinion, as to the
importance and expediency of Rail
Road, connecting Charleston with the
mountains of this State; and from re-
cent developments, they are sanguine
that the exertions of their fellow citizens
of Greenville and other neighboring
Districts, in this behalf, have not been
without their success, but that a spirit is
abroad in the land, that must overcome
all obstacles, and insure eventually the
triumphant accomplishment Of the great
work. The time has therefore arrived
when we should no longer remain inac-
tive, but when every citizen of this Dis
trict should "put his shoulder to the
wheep and by subscribing TO the capital
stock literally, as they may be able,
not only contribute to the success of the
enterprise generally, but place them
selves in position that will enable
them to promote the more certainly, the
immediate interests of our own section of
country, and give the road such direc-
ton as will produce the greatest good TO
the greatest number of our fellow citi.
sens, without diminishing in any degree,
the probabilities of pecuniary gain to
the stockholders.
We therefore recommend theadoption
of the following Resolutions first, as
expressive Of the sense Of this meeting
in reference to the contemplated work;
secondly, inviting our fellow citizeps Of

Achievements Of oar Army.-The
late news from the army is full of exciting
interest. On the 2lst September, Gen.
TAYLOR attacked Monterey with about
5000 men, and after three days hard
fighting the town capituIated. The
loss upon our side is set down at 500,
and is said to be greater than that of
the Mexlcans, from the fact that they
fought under the cover of walls and
houses which were pierced for their
m"sketry, and from these ,nurderous
hre was poured down upon our brave
fellows as they pressed on through the
streets.

most truly rejoices, and for the present
will be considered as Governor of the

men would have held that citv in the
face of 10000 Mexicans, as we'll fort;-
he'd as it seems to have been. 1t would
seem that the result of this campaign ,o
lar, should teach the Mexicans the utter
folly of opposing arms to- the United
States, yet they appear no ways disposed
to peace. Our Government should no
longer hesitate to press the war vigor-
ously, and to strike such blows as will
bring them to their senses.
The terms of the capitulation are that
the Mexicans were to march out of the

pieces to Linares, some sixty miles of,

Capture Of Santa Fin the late
news from the seat of war, we have also
the highly gratifying intelligence of the
capture of Santa Fe, which was taken
by Gen. KEARNEy, on the 18th August
without firing single gun. He de-
clares it his purpose to annex the whole
of New Mexico to the United States on
both sides Of the Rio Grande. General
KEARNEY has acquired for himself an
'mperishable name in this expedition.
In the short space of SO days, he has
marched 900 miles over a desert coun-
try, conquering province Of $4,000 in,
habitants, without firing a gun, and es-
tablished himself in its capitol! He
has claimed the whole of this country
for the United States, and proclaimed
himself Governor of New Mexico. The
acting Governor and Alcaldes took the
oath of allegiance to the United States,
and the people, with a simultaneous
shout, exclaimed "Uive la General"

to market, when the best prices could
be obtained, our lands would increase
in value, and our citizens become pro-
sperous and wealthy. The tide of emf
