God speed the bark that bears thee hence,

Where fruit in rich profusion, shed
Their fragrance on the breeze.

May'st fad there friends more dear;
There may'st thou fHd admring eyes,
And lovers more sincere,
But though ye bdsk in others smiles,
And hare in others gIee,
THERE'S one whose heart through all the wiles,

For thee ever sigh;

from him at prices far above the real value; his
son-n-law being the pretended contractor.
9Th. That he reported company rolls TO the
Governor of this State as complete according to
the requsition of the War Department, when
in fact the companies did not contain the men
protested to have been enrolled, and thus pro-
cured commissions for favorites to the exclu-
sion of competent men and good officers who
had reported perfect rolls of companies, whose
RANKS were filled with respectable men.
9th. That he has used his influence to ex-
cude from the corps of officers of his regiment
all men of capacity and experience, and those
who would be most likely to be directed by
nice regard for the interest and honor of their
country, and to constitute it body of weak,
or very young and inexperienced men, who
must needs be his supplant underIings.
18th. That he has publicly declared that ifhe ,gaS
sent out by The G'rernmentin COnUOy, he t0OuLd
run alcGy from the naval commander and that at-
Ter he had Eandcdin California he acould no longer
obey the President Of The United States nor any
other authority Of the government.
Sth. That he has practsed duplicty on the
President, the Governor, and other persons in
office in this State, unbecoming an officer and
soldier.
These are grave charges, which concern not
me alone, but the whole county, and they are
now declared with the fullest sense and under
standing that endorse their truth with the
commission which myself hold, and fine and
imprisonment on an indictment for libel, if the
charges should prove to be such-and with this
am content.
THos. JEFFERSON SUTHERLAND.
If these charges be susceptible of proof, then
Col. Stevenson should not be entrusted with the
command of the regiment, because he will set
an example Characterization which may prove
ruinous to all discipline. We presume that
Gen. Sutherland is responsible man; and as
his charges are brought forward with the most
solemn asseveration Of their truth, it might be
well to have them enquired into prior to the
sailing of the regiment. 1t will prove a costly
expedition to government, and should not be
permitted to fail through the misconduct offs

EXPEDITION TO CALIFORNIA. Our reader,
are aware, that Col. Stevenson, of New Yorks
has raised, by authority of the President, reg
iment of volunteers to be transported to some
point on the Pacific Ocean, Supposed to be
California and on the condition that they may
be discharged upon any portion of the territory
belonging to the United States The object
for which this regiment is supposed to have
been raised, is, TO assist in the conquest and set
Element of California. That it is the design
that they shall become settlers on the Pacific
coast, is evident from the novel condition upon
which they have been engaged, viz: to be dis
charged at any point. For the transportation
of this regiment three ships have been engaged,
at an aggregate cost of 1000. The vessels
will shortly sail for their destination.
Ofthe peculiar qualifications Of Col. Steven
son to command an expedition of this charac-
ter, we know nothing, We have seen him
highly extolled in some of the newspapers; and
it may be, that he merits all the praise which
has been bestowed upon him. Such, however.
is not the opinion of Gen. Thos. Jefferson Suth-
erland, of New York, who has publicly made
the following serious charges against him, be-
sides others which are omitted
4th That he has proposed fraud upon the
members ofhis regiment by procuring large
quantity of clothing, not American in its fash
ion, nor suited to the climate of California,
which he designs to compel his men to purchase

CAPTURE OF TANIPICO.

PREPARATIONS Fol. ITS RETENTION.
By The arrival of the U. S. steamer Mis-
sissippi, Commodofe Perry al the S. w. Pass
news was received in the city yesterday of
The capture of Tampco by the u. S. squad
ron on the l4th inst. We announced in
yesterday mornings edition of the Picayune
the departure OF The squadron from Anton
Lizardo upon this expedition, and before the
day was over the success of the enterprise.
The fleet sailed under Commodore Conner
on the lllh and 18th insts. On the l4th
Commodore Perry crossed the bar with the
Spilfre, Vixen, Petrol, Bonita aud Refer,
reinforced from The Cumberland, Mississippi,
Princeton and st. Mary's. There was no
opposition made 10 the American arms. The
town was surrendered uncondtionallY. tina
garrison nagIng been previously Withdrawn.
Tue Mississippi sailed Immediately for the
Balize for troops TO garrison the city. In
coming hither Commodore Perry touched at
the Brazos and despatched a lieutenant 10
Gen. Panerson's camp TO obtain troops for
the garrison. The Mississippi then came TO
the BaIize for the same object. We learn
from proper sources that about one hundred
and fifty men, recruited for the LIST and Sd
Infantry, will be despatched Immediately for
Tampco. A detachment of these troops
has already arrived; the remainder are ex-
pected TO day or tomorrow. Besides these,
for companies of the new regiment of
mounted rifemen, under Major Burbidge,
will be sent TO Tampico-as soon as they ar
rive. They are hourly looked for.
Capt. Heizel of the Quartermaster's De-
panment, has been despatched 10 Baton
Rouge for ordinance and munitions, and
Capt. Barnard, Of the Engineers, will repair
di .ctly TO Tampico 10 superiniend the erec-
ting and arming of the necessary defences.
Although the city was taken without the
loss of blood, il is manifest that it is not to
be surrendered without a struggle before
ace is declared. The town is now in the
session of the marines and sailors of the
fleet, WHO cannot be well spared from their
ships. As soon as the place is sufficiently
!. ri ned by land forces the squadron will
proceed 10 other buslness. A change has
come over the feet and we debut not of its fu-
ture usefulness. Many of our naval officers re-
greet that L 1pico was surrendered without
blow. 1t is well enough as il is. We in
cline TO the opinion that the piece will be-
come Of the utmost consequence 10 the in
tended operations upon the interior. The
withdrawal of the Mexican garrison is evidece
that Santa Anna is making preparations for
demonstration upon large scale in the DR.
recron of San Luis Potosi or Sallillo-more
probably at the former.

From the London Sun, Oct. 80.

While the well-wishers of Mexico are
medtating upon hes possible reorganization
while they are actually recognizing in the
minimum of her present enterprise the max
imum of her future prosperity, the willy and
answering invaders from the United States
are vigorously availing themselves of their
previous successes for the realization OF yet
more important victories. Hardly have Texas
and California, and New Mexico yielded 10
the annexing influence of American gener-
alship before the forces under Gen. Taylor

and afiera gallant defence of five days by the
garrison and auxiliary troops commanded
by General Ampudia, render formal ca
pitulaiion on the latter absolutely necessa-

this originated in anything like national pol

Ii will be seen by reading this cursory re-
port that the commodore spared the city out
of feelings of humanity. The inhabitants
could not leave, as the Governor would not
permit them; hence they sought refuge in
cellars during the cannonading. and thus es-
capped destruction. Had il not been that we
were necessarily obliged TO kill many inno-
cent persons before taking the city, Tabasco
al this moment would have been ours. As it
is, we have paid them dearly for the shot that
deprived us of Lieut.. Morris-long will they
remember cur visit and dread the return OF
the Americans.
The Mexican force was 350regular troops
with four pieces of cannon, besides an un-
known number of armed peasants; all OF
whom were posted in strong military works
or in the occupation of stone or brick houses
hence we could only reach them with our
great guns and at every disadvantage.
We understand that the prize that was
burnt by order Of Commodore Perry, was The

A correspondent of the Baltimore Amer
can says:
81 have seen letter of late date from
HENRY CLAY, announcing that he should
spend most of the approaching winter in
New Orleans. The letter, need not say,
was from as true Wing as there is in tho
Union, from man who is The very embodi-
ment of great national Wing principles. I
refer TO it because it gave TO his friend, who
is true man also, the wise advice that up
on the Presidential question there should be
no public agitation in regard TO men until
far-distant day. The wish of this whole
hearted patriot and statesman is, that the
great wrongs inflicted upon the country by
the dominant party should be the sole object
of pablo agitation at least for the present;
in other words, that there should be correc-
ton of great public abuses, and that Presi.
dent-making should be let alone"

NANAL.-It is stated in the Northern pa
pers that the Secretary of The Navy is about
to fill up the Navy with the full compliment Of
men allowed by Congress. An advertise
ment appears in the New York papers for
one thousand men, who are wanted for the
ship of the line Quo, which is about to be
put in commission. Capt. SrRINGHAM has
received orders to take command OF her, and
proceed to sea with all possible despatch,
under sealed orders. Her destination is pre-
sumed TO be Vera Cruz.

''Bnt above all, may it please God that
there may arise from The new situation in
which this incident has placed our govern
ment a new system of alliance, which nay
at length unile all the nations of continent
tai Europe in common understanding against
their common enemy, England. We were
asked, some days since, what nations we
would desire TO see combined in this new
cordial understanding, and why we inclined
for an alliance between our country and Rus
STA? We wish 10 sum up in few words our
entire opinion on that subject. We are con
vinced that sooner or later contest will
take place between the continent and that
power which uses it for her own purposes IN
der favor of It's divisions. This contest will
be particularly maritime contest; and now
that the naval power of Spain is destroyed,
we see only Russia that can lend Us that eff
ficacious support in Europe which the Uni
ted States are reserving for US in America
Ii is our opinion, in word, that for the re-
pose of France ii is necessary that the col
ossal power OF England be reduced, and that
this power shall not fall except under the
triple alliance which her three national en-
emes will one day form, namely, FrBnce
Russia and The United States"
