The annexed result of trial in the Osweoo
General Sessions, is illustrative of the i'll effects
OF lndulglng In feelings of vndictiyeness or
animnsity among neighhors A man, Richard
S'arks, desired 10 have road opened past his
house In the town of Hannibal and after lono
litigation, 1t was decided against Starks Martin
Is. and Ebenezer Perkins were among his most
Jealous oPposers, and there was feeling of bitter
hatred between the whole neghbOrhood and
Siarks. On the night of tho lst Of April, Starks
was at Hannibal, IN liquor, and bought a bunch OF
matches, and started for home about nine O'Clock
passing by the barns of the two Perkinses, first
Martin BIS and then Ebenezer's About 10
O'Clock. Ebenezer's barn discovered TO be on
fire and was burnt up; Martin BIS barn was also
seen on fire the same night. Tracks were found
leading from Martin b. s barn TO the road, also
some tracks from Ebenezer's barn 10 the road near
Stark's house, the road in dispute The next
morning the tracks were found to fit exactly the
foot OF Starks. The trial was tedious, and ac
cording to the Oswego Advertiser, lasted ten
days, but fsally resulted in the conviction of
Starks, and he was sentenced to Auburn for three
years and six months. The feud among the par
ties has existed for eight ten years

A TTENTION ITO the lovers of Good Buck
IN wheat Yeast Powders. These Powders are an
admirable substitute for Yeast, in making all kinds
of Butter Cakes, and have the advantage over that
article in making the Batter perfectly light and
ready for baking the instant they are mixed.
Buckwheat and other cakes, when made with
these Powders are less likely to disagree with the
stomach, than those made with Yeast and as it re.
quires but few minutes TO prepare for baking the
possibility of ever having them sorr is entirely
avoided.
A fresh supply of these Powders are for sale at

LOUISIANA NoLUNTEERs.--Fiv full re-
giments, Except one company from this
State have already reached the theatre Of
war. The remaining company of the 9th
Regiment, and five companies of the 9th,
left on the lst inst. on the ship Sduiah, and
this evening the remainder of the Sixth,
with Col. Featherston, are to depart on the
GalUeSton. The number will scarcely fall
short of fire thousand men, proportion
equivalent 10 fifty thousand from the State
OF New York. These troops, 1t will also
be observed, have been paid, clothed, fed,
supported at the expense of the State, and
but for the literality of the State, could
not to this day have been shipped 10 the
frontier, or even mustered into The service
II is in place to remark, likewise, that
much larger number would have been rails
ed, but for the orders of the war depart
ment preventing further enlistment. A.
mong others anxious to enter the service
was regiment of mounted gunner, which
from position and climate, would have been
more efficient (men and horses) than from
any other part of the Republic. This
fine corps, however, nearly completed, have
been disbanded, pursuant TO an order from
the War Department. For what reason
Mr.. MARcY's order of counermand was
given, is difficult to imagine, unless 10

wing had the misfortune to evince more sa-
gacity and promptitude than the Depart

We find the following article in the n.
Y. Journal of Commerce. We are moi
apprized as to the source whence the
Journal receives il, but tits of interest:
Mericaa statement Of their o,rn loss
Plan of the Campaign. Among the pa
pers found in the captured effects OF Arlsta,
was the morning return OF the force on
the day before the battle, which shows the
strength Of the enemy TO have exceeded
5000; though it is not absolutely certain
that the whole Of that force were on the
United States bank OF the Rio Grande.--
Gen. Arista's Aid while making arrange.
ments with a distinguished officer Of our
Army for the exchange OF prisoners, and
the care Of the wounded, stated that the
Mexican loss, in killed on the field of bat
tie, and drowned, was 500. Among the
latter was one of the priests n the MexI'
can army, who persisted in the flight 10
the waters of the Rio Grande. In this
number the wounded and prisoners are moi
included. Fifteen hundred Mexican mus
kets, all Kings arms, had been collected by
our troops.
The plan of the campaign as developed
by Arista's papers, was for that General
after demohshing the small force under
Gen. Taylor to overrun Texas; and, ha
wing effected the conquest of that ''revolt
ed PROVINCE" if il should be necessary Il
secure the fruits of victory, il was arrang
ed that Gen. Paredes himself should marct
an army of occupation into the conquered
country.

Of letters Of marque generally, as an eff

especially The fitting out Of the navy for
that purpose.

Col. BENTON. distinguished Mis-
souran has made another speech on the
Oregon question, which is far more elabo-
rate than any other he has delivered dur
ing the present session of Congress He
stands forward as the self-elected champl-
on Of the line of the 49th parallel as the
northern boundary of the American claims
on the Pacific--and absolutely denies any
shadow Of tile on our part TO foot Of
country north of that line.
An old democrat long an admirer of
Col. BENToN-writng TO us from the coun-
try, says;
81 have Witnessed with no little aston
" "ishment, and the deepest modification,
"the desertion of THOMAS H, BENTON. /
"thnk we may make up our mind to bid
" an eternal adeu to him. He has been
"my polar.star-but he is gone, When.
" ever any man has once attained 70 that
eminence among his fellows, that Benton
" has, shall shoot off from them, he is apt
" TO think that it is admiration for the man
" that has caused so much Difference TO be
" paid to him and he is foolish enough to
p" think the admiration for his person and
Z" character will enable him 10 ride down
" the very principles, the support of which
" has made him the admired among men.
LET him that shall practice upon such
"principles ever find himself in the yoca-
tive"
Without giving in to the idea Of san
eternal adieu" to Col. BENTON we fear
that what our correspondent suggests in
relation TO him is but too true. may be
that Col Benton has mistaken his habiual
selfpossession for the calculating GOODNESS
of philosophy, and that he cherished preIu'
dice as principle, and nurses malevolence
which he has mistaken for virtue. Certain
il is, that his dogmatisIn and affected supe-
riority in the Senate, have rendered him
most unpopular and Inefficient member
of that body; whilst the great mass OF the
democracy Of the nation who had looked
to him as pillar of strength in the hour
of need, and as the most reliable champi-
on OF American rights, have Of late found
little in his course to applaud and much tc
condemn. We would, however, still hope
for better things from one who has render
ed so much disinterested service TO his
country and his party. We expect to fine
no man whose mind is superior TO the IN
frmaties which belong to human natures
but there is so wide difference between
Benton who stood forward as the leader
of the opposition 10 the Ashburton treaty
and the U. S. Bank, and compromising
Benton of 1916, that we can hardly ex'
cuse him on the ordinary score Of the
proneLess of man to error. MisSp'h

MAJOR RINGGoLD.--The death of this
gallant officer is every where regarded as
national loss; but in Baltimore, where he
was best known, it is mourned with an
intensity OF sorrow. The day after his
death was known there, the courts ad-
iourned, and the colors Of the shipping IN
port hung at half mast, as token of re-.
spect for his memory. Major Samuel
Riuggold (says the Baltimore Republican,
was born at Front Park, near dagerstown,
Washington county, in this State. lie
was the son of Cen Sam. Ringgold, who
represented the State of Maryland IN the
Senate of the United States, during the late
war, if we remember rightly, with Great
Britain. Maj. Ringgold was educated
Tor the Army at West Point, where he
graduated with the highest honors. lie
served as aid 10 Gen. Scott during one
ofthe Florida campaigns, when his healtl
was greatly impaired by the influence ol
that sickly climate. Maj. Rlaggold wa'
not married, and was As years OF age a

TnE REWARD OF MERiT.-We under
stand that, as soon as the President OF the
United States received the official des-
patches from Gen. Taylor, he lost no
time in iestfying the high resPec; in which
he holds the mertorlous services oil lhat
distinguished officer.
In conformity with his wishes and his
duty, he Yesterday nominated TO the Sc
nate of the United States, Zachary Tay-
lor, now a brovet brigadler general, Tor his
gallant conduct and distinguished services
in the successive victories over superior
Mexican forces at Palo Alto" and f." Re
SAGA de la Palma" on the Slh and 9th days
of May, l846, to take rank as such from
the last mentioned day. This nomination
was Immediately aud unanimously confirm
ed by the Senate,
We understand, also, that the President
nominated Capt. Walker of the Texan
rangers, who has distinguished himself on
several occasions, and particularly IA the
maneuyres and actions on the Rio Gronde,
as a captain in the new regiment OF dra-
goons. The reader will perceive, from
the complete list OF appointments in this
corps, as published in the present number
Of the " Union,' that Captain WIS noml'
nation has this day been confirmed by the
Senate, -,

GENERAL ARIsrA,-lt is said that Ge.
neral Arista commanded the Mexican ar.
my, and was present at the late battle near
Gen. Taylor's camp. A friend has given
the Richmond Enquirer some striking an
ecdoles Of the honesty, intelligence, end
simple bearing Of Gen. Arlsta. For some
wears he resided at Cincinnati, and carried
on the Thinning business. In the city Of
Mexico he worked indusrously in his lit
tic Tin shop. Under the garb Of mode-ty
and poverty he concealed an ambitious sPl-
rit. His very simplicity Of lite saved him
from the effects of Jealous and domineerIng
rivalry; but in the excitement of war, he
was called to take command Of the Mexi.
can army. lie is said to be a man Of vast,
ly superior qualities to those Of his coun
trymen.
