cion, the honor, the rights, and the interests of
our country.
The President then refers to instructions given
to Gen. Taylor in August last, authorising him,
in ncsss Of emergency, to call upon Texas and the
neighboring states for volunteers, and says:
On the Cd day Of March, he was again remin.
ded, "in the event Of the approach of any consi.
dcssble Mexican force, promptly and efficiently
to use the authority with which he was clothed
to call to him such auxiliary force as he might
need" War actually existing, and our ter.
ritory having been invaded, General Taylor,
pursuant to authority vested in him by my di.
section, has called on the Governor Of Texas
for tour regiments of State trocps-two to be
mounted, and two to serve on foot and on the
Governor Of Louisiana for four regiments of in.
fantry, to be sent 10 him as soon as practicable
In further vindication Of our rights and de.
fence OF our territory, invoke the prompt &C.
tion Of Congress to recognise the existence Of
the war. and to place At the disposition Of the
Executive the means Of prosecuting the war
with vigor, and thus hsstening the restoration Of
peace. To this end recommend that author.
ity should be given to call into the public ser.
vice large body OF volunteers TO serve for not
less than six or twovle mont,A unless sooner
discharged.
A volunteer force lie, beyond question, more
efficient than any other description Of citizen
soldiers; and it is rot to be doubted that mum.
bsr far beyond that required would readily rush
to the field upon the call oftheir country.
further recommend that liberal provision be
made for sustaining our entire military force,
and furnishing it with supplies and munitions
OF war.
The most energetic and prompt measures, and
the immediate appearance in arms Of 4. large
enc everpowering force, are recommended to
Congress 40 the most certain and efficient means
Of bringing the existing collision with Mexico
to Z speedy and successful termination.
In making these recommendations. deem. it
proper to declare that il is my anxious desire not
only to terminate hostities speedily, but to
bring all matters in dispute between this govern
ment and Mexico TO an early and amicabe ad.
justment and, in this view, shall be prepared
to renew negotiations whenever Mexico shall
be ready to receive propositions, or to make
propositions of her own.

COnsress.

Yesterday (Thursday,) as,the day fixed upon
for closing the debate the Tariff: Ths.discns-
sion has absorbed, to great extent, in the. House,
all minor questions. The advocates of the reduc-
ton of the Tariff have nobly stood forth in defence
of the great principle of the Constitution, and the
rights OF the people. We cannot but believe that
Justice to all the great interests ofthc country"
has preponderated, and the Tariff of A. :Vith all
its iniquities is now among the things thai We're.
The Representative from this District, the Hcn.
Henry BEDNGER, spoke on Saturday last IN favor
of its repeal We have received no report of his
speech yet, but shall lay it before our readers as
soon as received. We find the following among
the Congressional Reports of saturday =.
Mr. Bedinger spoke for an hour in opposition to
the Tariff OF 1892. He said lie could not venture
to 90 home to his constituents without raising his
feeble voice against the injustice, fraud, tyranny
md oppression of system under which they lite
rally groaned, and which sat upon them like foul
incubus. lie told the fable Of the fish hawk and
the pike fish, with great gusto, and applied 1t 10
the subject in hand.

Our National Anniversary.

Tomorrow, Saturday is the 10th Anniversa-
nv of American Independence. 1t is well that the
day should be properly remembered, and ITS nal
lowed associations kept in view
Throughout the country, generally, more than
usual preparation has been made for its observance
In this town no general parade will take place,
but our citizens will have an opportunity OF spend
ing the day most agreeaby in thetowns adjacent
AT Harpers:Ferry, the g Odd Fellows procession
win be the great point of attraction. 1t is antic-
pated that it will be one of the most splei e&-
hbitons of the kind ever witnessed in the galley
of Virginia OF course all who can will be pre-
sent, as they may reasonably expect ample compen-
sation. At Shepherdstown, a Celebration will take
place under the management of the " Potomac Ri
Re,'' handsome new Company recently organic
ed in that town. Shannondale, too, will have its
attractions, and those who are fond ofsports that
arethere offered, and the cool, bracing air Of the
country, will be in attendance.
Our friends of Clarke County have made pre-
paration for a gala day. N. CARROLL MASON,
ESQ. has been selected the Orator, and from the
high reputation of this gentleman as a speaker
and the clearness and force of his productions, as
writer, a rich intellectual treat may be expected.
The energetic Committee of Arrangement will
have prepared public dinner in hesItt!
near BerryvilIe, to which they cordially naNe the
citizens of their own county and from thosfe ada
cent. The Ladies, too, are not forgotten, but a
cordial invitation is extended to them to be present
and participate in the pleasures of the day.

DIsGRAcEFUL QUARREL AT JERUsALEM.-A
disgraceful quarrel occurred at Jerusalem on Good
Friday, between the Roman Catholics and the
Greeks. When the Latin procession, which was
coming through the church ofthe Holy Sepulchre,
reached the hole in the rock said to have contains
ed the cross, they proceeded to remove a cloth
covering placed on the spot; the Greeks attempt
ed to prevent it, and the quarrel from words came
to blows, and on the very spot believed by them
both to have been the scene of our Saviours sut-
ferings, priests and aymen struck one another
and blasphemed in a most disgusting manner
The governor of the town had to be sent for, and
he cleared the place with regiment of Turkish
soldiers-Lo11don Times.

come thick and fast) is looked to with the most
anxious solcitude. The last week, though unu
sually cool for the season, was favorable for har-

but little abatement until Thursday morning

750-total, 1900. With this army General Tay,
lor will be able to accomplish his purpose oftak
ing Monterey and holding possession of all The
northern part of Mexico. He has already made
the first movement by despatching Col. Wilsoa
with 500 troops to take the town of Reinoso. At
ter taking possession of the small towns, and Sc
curing his rear, he viii take up his march for the
