THERE, BOYS - We heard one of

A Washington letter published
in the N. Y. Journ Il of Commerce,
says:
An invasion from different
points, at the same time. the forces
all aiming at the city Of Mexico,
has been talked of. 4 distinguish
cd officer Of the Army has, it is
said, given it as his opinion that a
force of a hundred thousand men
will be necessary for he object.
In the meantime the Govern
ment have taken a step which is
quite as decided and important as
a march to the Mexican capital.
The American squadron, under
Com. Stockton. have orders to take
possession Of st. Francisco and
Monterey, and to hold those places
against all opposition. l know
this to be a fact.
The citizens of Charleston have
determined to procure a splendid
sword and present it to Gen. Tay-
lor as an evidence Of their feelings
. on the receipt of the news of his
able and mastery movements on
the Rio Grande, in the face of a
force nearly quadruple that of his
own"
1t is stated that company H. at
Newport, and company G. at Co.
vernor's Island, have received or
ders to proceed to Texas.
KENTUCKY VoLUNTEERs.-When
it was proclaimed that the gov
ernment had called on Kentucky
for troops to prosecute the war
against Mexico, such was the zeal
displayed, that two captains who
had succeeded in raising their
companies, started to the capital
to report themselves TO the gov
ernor as ready to march; one Of
them on arriving at Lexington,
was apprised that he was precee-
ded by the others, who had only
left a few minutes, and immedi-
ately drove post haste to be- in first;
the other learning the object in
creased his speed, and both contin-
ued the race until one unfortunate
ly broke his buggy, and left an
apparently easy contest to his RI
val but, nothing discouraged, he
ungeared his horse, and mounted
without saddle, and by taking a
near cut, beat his antagonist 70 the
executive chamber, but was NOR
tilted that the number required
had already been accepted, in the
meantime the other came up when
both, crest fallen and disappointed,
inquired if they would not have
preference in war with England !;
such is the spirit that pervades
our country.-Washing gton Union.

The MesSagc

We have surrendered our columns almost cx-
clusivcly to the intcrmnablc message of Pres
ident Polk. 1t is u good deal "longcr than the /
moral law and in pretty plain violation of some
of the cardinal precepts Of that code.
Those of our readers who may have the pa
thence and the courage, (as we have had to wade
through this "mutitudmous sea" of words, will
find that our prediction Of its character is toera-
Div well sustained. The War with Mexico, and
the new Free Trade Tariii-both unnecessary
and uncalled-for, and both cmphatically condemn
div the recent elections-Gorm the staple of this
;esuitical production. TO sustain these msera-
bic pro-slavery measures, and thus to build up
Southern pro-slavcry supremacy in this nation,
this message Of james Il. Polk labors through
nearly ten mortal columns of sophistries and
nerversions of the TRUTH On the latter topic cs-
pecally (thc Tariff, the great basis of the pros

The Burlington Post Office.

We were "twicc blessed last week. The
Post Master fired his heary ordnance in our own
columns, and the Deputy let off his rop-gun in
the Sentinel. No damage was done, unless the
pieces kickcd.
We therefore again call the attention of the
Post Master to the original cause of complaint.
which he and his " friedman both unaccount-
ably omitted to notcc-and that is that the Free
Press. which he and the Deputy both admit is
regularly mailed on Fridoy, does not regularly
reach Williston and Woodstock on Saturday.
We beg of him to take notice that the letter OF
our Williston correspondent was dated on .'Ion-,
day. and that the Free Press had not then arrived
THIS is the complaint, and as there is no Post
Office between Burlington and Williston, we
ilatter ourselves that the matter is in Il tocraby
narrow compass !
But wc can tell our Williston subscribers why
their papers of the 9th Nov. had not reached
them ON the 30th 1t is because. by the stupid
laundering of the Burlington Post Master, or
some of his "empioyees,' TIE PACKAGE
/ CONTAINING THEM WAS SENT OFF IN
TIE SOUTHERN MAIL ON SATURDAY
MORNING The Wlliston package was in
| the Sheljurne Post Office, on its way towards
Texas, on the 2Sth of November and did not
finally reach Williston until Tuesday or We'd
nesday of the next week We happen TO be
in possession of proo of these facts, and yet
the Sentinel has the cool impudcnce TO tall;
about "thc ms-dirccting of bundles of papers
by the Free Press emp'oyees"!
Now we have no wish 10 prolong, as we had
in the outset no intention of provoking. con-
trovcrsy with the Post Master But we wish
him to understand that he will not succeed in
transferring the sins of the Post Office to our
shoulders And we recommend him to keep
his Deputy quiet. We have some " facts " that
are much better authenticated than those with
which the Sentinel takes the liberty to threaten
us, and we tell the concern plainly that they
had better not call for them.
