TIE New YoRK COURIER AND EsQUIRER treats
US better than it is wont to treat those whom it
dertakes to assault The usual method Of that gen.
tie and patriot print, is to excite moo against those
with whom it happens to have difference. In this
way it undertook some years ago to put down the
abolitionists in New York-thus giving them the
only possible chance they could have To obtain
sympathy and countenance Some said at the time
that the Courier calculated upon this effect Of its
course and acted with concealed purpose Of secur,
ing political allies in future. But this, zoe never be-
lieyed. No such calculation is in the nature Of the
Courier and Enquirer A certain stupid JsrOeiiy was
then as 1t has since BEEN the bottom Of its habit
ual appeals to the laWless passions Of MODS. The
same characteristic appeared when the Courier
put forth a long editorial invoking a mob to
20 with its editor TO the theatre and drive
an English singer off the stage, because he
objected to some Of the Courer's criticisms.
# is the same characteristic which prompted the
Courier TO call, as il did few days ago, almost in
terms, on a mob to put down the Tribune establish
ment by Lynch law-wel knowing that FIRE and
murder would be the means of such an attempt,
and referring to the case Of Cassius NJ. Clay as a
precedent-and all this because the articles of the
Tribune about the war were not its taste. Neither
were they To our taste, and we said so. But they
were more consistent than the Courier's backing
and filing about first an act Of war; and then offer
ofnegotiaton; and they were, we think, quite as
respectable.
We set down these slight memoranda Of the ha-
blual course Of the Courier merely to show that zoe
favored by that journal. 1t has not invoked a
mob to set fire to our Office, nor to subject US to
Lynch law 1t contents itself with calling us first a
"mercenary," and then a public plunderer." II
il were only true that the Courier has been
bought up, time and again, by corporations and
cliques, till it is no longer worth buying at any
price-if it were only true that, when charged with
this, it recently went into court to get The worfh Of
lis character from jury, and after three or four
days hearing got sirpenes-if this were all, we
might think 1t necessary to answer the Courier
charges. But when journal makes mob violence
and sndisgused rtltianSn its habii,ial weapons, we
can have no controversies with it as to matters OF
character. When the Courier trumps up ingenuity
enough to invent or to urge what seems to be ar
gtimeni OH public matters, we generally answer it,
But this is, Of course, seldom.

Correspondence Of the St. Louis Republican.

iNDEFENphNCEy luO., juno lCso-
The two companies of Dragons, under Captains
McGuln and Moore, set out on the Santa te route
after Speyers and other Santa Fe traders, to stop
them with their powder and ammunition intend
seIzing the goods of Governor Armijo, who has
about $50, 900 worth their way to Santa Fe, and
hold them in case of any hostile movement against
these troops taking armed possession of New Mex
leo; but if he is disposed to be peaceable, they will
restore him his goods.
Several SpanIards (among them two Armijos)
reached hero last week from New York, with a
large lot of goods for New Mexico. They are very
much discouraged and are anxious to sell out their
entire stock of goods offering TO take first cost for
them. They have now gone up to Fort Leaven-
worth to see Col Kearney, who sent down an ex.
press to them that he wished to see them and have
an interview. II is thought the colonel intends to
lay the whole plan of the expedition before them,
and to offer the governor of New Mexico, through
them, such terms as may secure the country with
out striking blow. These Mexicans are men OF
influence and great wealth, and if Col. X. can sue
coed in getting the right side of them he may eff
feet great deal.
A rumor ia afoat that an express has just reached
here TO the Mexcans in this place) from Santa Fe,
which reports that Governor Armijo is at Moro,
about ninety miles this side Of Santa Fe, with
about four thousand men, ready to engage with any
force that the United States may send against them.
He still receiving additions to his army every
day. Some are disposed to credit this report, but
others doubt it.
A gentleman Just from Fort Leavenworth informs
me that il is very uncertain when Col kearney
would leave with the volunteers, but it was general
ly believed not until about the LIST Of July.
Horses, mules, oxen and wagons have been great
ly in demand in this upper country, which has
caused the price OF them TO rise least twenty-five
per cent The Santa Fe traders are still going out.
Col s. C. Owens left last week.
The grain crops in this country never promised
better than now. Wheat will be abundant.

We have received an able vndication of the Com
missioner of Patents against the criticisms which
have been leveed at his report in the Senate of the
United States We shall publish it as soon as the
tariff bill has been decided in the Senate. As no
mans name has been more intimately and honorably
identified with the Of the revenue bill than
the author of "Bundelcund ;" we were satisfied that
we should not appeal in vain to the author of the
vindication, when requested him to delay his.ar.
tice, and to restrain his feelings until the question OF
the tariff has been finally disposed Of Thus no portion
of the Senate's attention would be diverted from that

PENNSYLVANIA.

When, in announcing on Friday evening the pas
sage of the tariff bill through the House Of Repre-
sentatyes, we stated that "frOm Pennsy lyania, so
distinguished in support of the war of '76 and
1872 and so ever ready to pour out the ife-blood OF
her sons iu defence Of the counuy-so devoted to
the Union-so true to the democratic faith on all
other questions but the tariff, there was but single
vote for thisgrea measure" &c; and when we took
the liberty of adding, "Iet that member wait but a
year to see the operation of this bill defeat all the
predictions of his opponents, and his vote, though
now alone will be the vote Of Pennsy vania, 1--WE,
OF course intended TO speak of Pennsylvania in the
most respectful terms. And yet we were unfortu-
nate enough, as we are told, to offend some Of the
worthy representatives of that distinguished State,
Yet our feelings were any thing else than uncourte-
Gus, disrespectful, or unknd, towards her, or to-
wards one Of her representatives. We have long
wanted Pennsylvania and Virginia, the Keystone
State and the Old Dominion, to resume all the intimate
relations which once bound them closely together
We want them again to realize the masonic emblem
Of the clasped hands. We'll do we recolect
the time when the citizens Of Virginia desired TO
stand side by side with their brethren Of Pennsy-
vania-when they entertained the same republican
principles, and worshipped at the same altar, and
when they felt themselves the more secure in the
course which they pursued, by having the symPathes
of Pennsylvania in their feelings, and her co-operu-
lion in their STRIPPING then was, dis
tnctly recollect how heart beat for the election
OF Mr. Mexican, in 1899, as governor Of Pennsylva-
MIA. II was his success which first broke through the
federal phslsnx, and prepared the way for the cleo
ton Of Thomas Jefferson as President Of the Uni
ted States.
We want these suspicious days to return in all
their freshness. Nothing interrupts the full commu
Mon Of the South with Pennsylvania but this ques-
ton Of the tariff We hope, then, that this stumbling
block will now be removed, and perfect reunion
take place We venture to say that these senti.
ments flow from the heart Of every southern demo-
crat.

We would refer our readers to the advertisement
of the franklin Medical College at Philadelphia,
which will be found in our paper of today. This
institution, chartered during last winter by the legs.
lature of Pennsylvania will go into operation early
in October Its faculty is composed Of gentlemen Of
the highest standing in the profession, and as teach.
ers of medicine they merit full share of the patron
age of those young men who visit Philadelphia for
the purpose Of medical education. The professors
are now actively engaged in procuring from this
country and Europe ample materials for their mu.
scum, so that each department of medical science
taught in the college will be illustrated in manner
equal to that Of the older institutions Of the city, and
every effort will be made to give to the student a
thorough practical knowledge Of his profession.

ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS.

We lay before our readers some additional APP
pointments, which were yesterday confirmed by the
Senate of the United States. The first Of these is
as major general in the army. There others in
this batch, however, which require more special at
| ,ention.
We have been struck with the propriety Of the
nomination, and subsequent confirmation Of the ad.
dtonal assistant adjutsnts general authorized
under the recent act of Congress. They appear to
have all been taken from among the officers who
disting ushed themselves in the actions of the 9Th
and 9th of May, and were favorably spoken of in
the reports of their seniors.
Major Mccall, who heads the list, is the officer
who is so favorably mentioned in the reports as
having commenced the action of the 9th, and who,
as Gen. Taylor writes, has in two former instances
rendered valuable service as partisan officer.
Major Bliss has been the assistant ajjutant gen.
eral to the army of occupation since it first entered
Texas, and of whose fitness for the duties of his
station there can be no question, independently of
the testimony of Gen. Taylor Of the efficient aid
rendered by him on the 9th and 9th.
OF Capt Ridgely, the general speaks in high
praise for the gallant and efficient manner in which
he maneuvred and served his battery; while the
terrible fire kept up by him in the affair Of the 9th
inflicted heavy losses upon the enemy
Capt. Lincoln is favorably mentioned in the re.
por, of Lieut.. Col. Belknap and the officer who
slew with his own hand two Of the hercest assail-
ants, and thus relieved brother officer who had
been badly wounded by them.
Capt. Winshp belonged to the squadron of cav
airy under Capt May, which sogaantly charged
against the Mexican artillery. The company to
which he was attached (Graham's) charged the
pieces on the left of the road, while Mays company
CHARGED those on the direct road.

MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED

The National Intelligencer of this morning con-
tains the following statement:
"The New York Herald says, that Of the 81 '
900, 600 which have been ordered from the eastern
States by the Secretary of the Treasury, for the use
of the army of the South, six hundred thousand dol
lars recently leh New York in gold, for the trans.
portaton Of which the government paid six thousand
dollars, or one per cent"
This is mistake. Not one farthing was paid by
the Secretary of the Treasury for the transportation
Of specie as above stated. 1t s the business Of the
repositories Of the government to make these trans
fers without any charge, and any expense Of trans
portation was betrayed by the banks making the
transfers, and not by the government. One word
as to some erroneous statements in the Herald some
days since, which it is sufficient to contradict by
saying: First That the secretary has always had
sufficient funds at New Orleans to meet all warrants
Of every description payable there. Second That
so far from desiring to draw the specie from New
York by transfers to New Orleans, he did exactly
what the Herald supposed he had omitted to do
namely, he DIRE in favor of the repositories at New
Orleans upon the North and East, until the New Or
leans repositories would no longer take those drafts
and credit the government with the amount as cash.
Then, and then only, when it could be no longer
avoided did the transfer Of specie commence
