INDIA RUBBER BRIDGE FOR THE

theirs, of the Harlem Rubber focto.
ry have secured an order for the
materials for a portable bridge for.
the army. The "pontoons" are
to be made of rubber, and when
completed no delay will be expe.
rienced in crossing rivers, in a ra-
pid manner.

From the A,my.-We give in anoth-
er column the latest news from the
army, which is Of no very great impor-
tance. There has been no engagement
since the 9th and the Mexicans are evil
IDENTIFY endeavoring to avoid another
collision with our gallant soldiers. 1t
is thought that if AR1srA will venture
to fight again, it will be at Monterey,
which place has some natural advan-
tages, and is an opening into the noun
famous regions: this, perhaps, they will
attempt 10 defend, and stay the progress
of the American arms from their ad-
vance in that direction. AR1srA's force
is said to be about $4,000 strong.
The settlement Of the Oregon ques-
tion will have very material influence
in terminating the Mexican war; for
it is impossible for Mexico to continue
hostilities without foreign aid, and this
we think she will not be able to obtain,
at least from England now. Any as
sistance rendered the Mexicans by the
English Government, would be tanta-
mount to declaration of war upon her
part against the United States, and
would be bringing about that very state
of affairs which both nations have been
so long and earnestly laboring to avoid.
Foreign News.-By the steamer
Great Western, we have advices from
Europe Is days later, extracts of which
will be seen in this weeks paper. The
Oregon notice had been received by the
British Government.-The special mes
sage of the President relative to the
Mexican war had also been received,
and the price of cotton had declined in
consequence of 1.-THE Corn Bill had
passed second reading in the House Of
Lords by majority of 47.-V1croRn
had given birth to another princess:
Prince Louis NAPOLEON has made
his escape from his prison. 1t will be
remembered he was imprisoned for life
some years ago, for attempting revo:
luton IN France.

IF The citizens of Trenton, N. J:
have nominated Gen. TAYLOR for the
Presidency in '48.

the Senate; Mr. ALLEN having resigned.
There were thirteen ballotngs in two
days before choice could be made,
and then only by the withdrawal of
some of the names ballot:ed for.
- 1t will be seen by orders from
Head Quarters that the number of COM
panies TO form the Regiment, has been
accepted for twelve months service, and
that they are ordered to be at their re-
spective parade grounds for inspection
on Monday next. There is but little
probability now that there will be need
for those or any other troops for the Mex
can war. ARIsrA is endeavoring 10
avoid another fight and escape to the
mountains, and TAYLOR with the troops
now under his command, consisting of
some 10000 men, will be enabled to
sweep every thing before them in the
neighborhood of the Rio Grande.
~ The press throughout the coun-
try seem to condemn the course of Gen.
ScoTr, and whilst they do not question
his bravery or his military talents, they
censure him for his selfishness in desi-
ring to remain in Washington to enjoy
his "plate of SOUP" and dream of the
spleneors of the Presidency The Pre-
sidency there is something about j,
that bewiIders and blinds those desiring
to attain to 1t, and instead of pursuing
the course they should, we find often,
they go dia metrically opposite to their
own interest and thus blast their bright
est prospects.
<CH The following names we copy
from our exchanges as candidates for of.
fee in the Regiment now forming in
the State for the Mexican war.
For Colonel.
Major General BoNHAM of Ege6eld.
Brig Gen. AIsroN, of Yorkville.
Col. GREGG, of Richland.
Col. LARrIGUE, of Beaufort.
Col. MooRE, of Fairfield.
For 1t. Colonel.
Col. Dickinson, of Kershaw.
For Major.
1t. Col. GLADDEN., of Richland.
Maj. CAVITY, Of Kershaw.
Capt. ALLEN, of Barnwell.
We are informed that none, of these
gentlemen have volunteered YIf such
be the case, 1t certainly would be doing
injustice to those who have so nobly re-.
sponded 10 the call of the Governor, to
elect any of them; able commanders
can be selected from the officers who
have already volunteered, and who
should by all means have office in the
Regiment We venture the assertion,
that ten thousand men could be found
in this State, who would be willing to
fill those Offices with their pay and honor,
but who could not be induced to enter
the ranks as privates. Let those men
then have Office, who are willing to 60
in any capacity 50 they may but serve
their country.

ple-it is desirable that no unnecessary
delays take place. Our readers will OBJ
serve that the Government had not only
majority of proxies, but majority Of
peers present on the division. This is
important as regards the ultimate sue
cess Of the measure in committee.
The markets in every part of the
country will be more or less affected by
the second reading of the corn bill in
the Lords, but the effect will not be full
ly developed before the sailing Of the
steamer on Tuesday next. In the
meantime, we refer our commercial rea-
ders to what has been doing before the
result transpircd, and they will see that
business Of every description has been
more or less influenced by the pending
state of our political affairs.
THE MEXICAN Wharf.-The news of
the breaking out of hostilities between
the United States and Mexico, had been
received in England. The Chronicle
of the 29th, says -
AT an early hour this morning, we
received important intelligence from
the United States, (announcing the
commencement Of hostilitics with Mexi-
co., the interest Of which induces US to
publish it in full detail, and for that pur-
pose to displace considerable portion of
our usual matter. The pressure on our
space renders it impossible to do more
than call attention to the letter of our
Washington correspondent, which will
be found in another part Of our paper" +"
In a previous article the Chronicle
anticipated the war, and denounced the
United States in good round terms.

A NOBLE VRGINIAN.-The man is still living,
who, native Of Virginia, inheriting large
and ample fortune, and for time, in France, the pr-
vate secretary of Mr.. Jefferson, his return home
deeply impressed by the evil and wrong of slavery,
emigrated, with a large number of his own slaves,
to the then territory of Illinois, that he might con-
fer them liberty, and devote his energies to the
mighty work of securing the adoption of the State
Constitution in that wide region securing freedom to
all its inhabitants. Having settled comfortably on
lands purchased by him in that territory, for his lib
Grated servants he spoke he wrote he published in
favor of liberty. And finally as governor of the
new territory, exerted influence which led to the
adoption of constitution forever precludng slavery
or involuntary servitude, from the fair and fertile
plains of Illinois, How nestimable the benefit! How
joyous must be the recollections of Gov Coles when
declining towards age, to reflect upon the good,
which under Providence, he permitted to accom-
plsh. No honors conferred by the hand of Royalty
no tribute ofrespect paid by the authorities of
ton, no imperishable statute giant monument to
his praise, wouldbe acceptable to virtuous and
noble spirit, to be remembered as their greatest
benefactor-and celebrated, also through ali time, in
she songs and acknowledgements of free and happy
people.-N. Y. Observer.

TRAGEDY AT NASHVILLE.

The Nashville Correspondent of the CINCINNATI
Herald gives the following account of recent afro
cious case of murder and Iynching in that Ctys-
g For some time past rumors of painfully delicate
nature have beenin circulation in regard to lady Of
this City, which coming to the ears of her husband
induced him to search for the source whence they
emanated. He traced them to Mr.. E. z. c.. JUDI :
son, man grown notorious oflate. They met near
the African Church, and the meeting resulted in the
death of the ladys husband, Mr. Robert Potterfeld.
1t seems that Judson had been down near the Sui
phur Spring, practising with his pistols, and was re-
turning when he met Mr.. Porterfed. The latter
fred it is said twice without effect Judson once, hit
ting his victim in the forhead, and inAictng wound
of which he died. last night Judson was arrested &
taken to the Court House for examination before
Justice OF the Peace. Almost Immediately as the
matter became known, large crowd collected in and
about the Court House, and symptoms of violence
began to be manifested. .leFs
A brother of the deceased, justly excited against
the murderer, went into the Courtroom and shot at
Judson number of times. Judson ran out of the
door, Porterfed followed and shot several times
more as he went down the steps. Judson kept on,
and on reaching the door of the City Hotel, Porter
field placed pistol at his head and fired but Judson
lodged and escaped with only the loss of lock of
hair. Whilst he was lodging about others shot at
him, but he had the good fortune to escape. When
in the Court House for examination, some of the
crowd were for shooting, others for hanging him, &
outside was the cry fetch him out to u.s." To con-
tinue my narration. Escaped from the crowd, JUDI
secreted himself in the HOTEL and after search
of some fifteen or twenty minutes, he was discover.
ed, rush of hundreds of people was made for him..
AS he assayed to escape again; he fell from the third
story of the Hotel into the yard and fegning to be
dead dying the crowd permitted the Sheriff; and
his posse to convey him to prison. But for this de-.
cepton, he would doubtless be torn to pieces Ess
The Nashville correspondent of the Gazette gives
the subsequent horrible proceedings of the mob; =,
Last night ABOUT 10 o'clock, finding that he was
still alive the mob broke into the jail-maimed and
almost Naked threw him into the street to be hung.
He begged for minister, which was denied hm-he
feared not DEATH but requested to be shot, and beg
gcd that there any gentleman present that he
would shoot him. They took him to the SO rare and
run him up the rail of an awning post, the rope
broke and he fell, when he was taken back to JAIL
where he lies to die some time during the night
Dir. Porterfied was buried this afternoon. Take it
all in ALL is worthy of the reign of Terror in France
was present, and attended closely to all that
Cured of last nights proceedings.

HAS thy memory fled with Summer,

Oh. if the past may fail to move thee,
Yet spare me-spare me yet awhile.
