We understand the correspondent of the Balti-

Bergman, (late ofthe Truxtun,) commander of the
United States schooner On-kahy-e, now lying at
Norfolk has been instructed to get his vessel ready
for sea- and proceed with all practicable despatch to
Pensacola. The object of the special service is to
cruise between Pensacola and Key West, touching
at Tampa, St. Marks, Cedar Key, and Apaachico-

commerce and interests"

Capt Macrae, Of the same regiment, commanding
at Newport, writes us Of Maj Barbour, that ihis
virtues as man, and his fame as soldier, are proud
monuments, which his regiment will ever claim as
its heritage Most men are aware Of, though
scarcely any fully appreciate, the esprit du corps
which is one of the strongest feelings Of soldier;
added to which, the kindly sympathies of close
social communion and common danger, form q bond
of union, second to none other in strength. We are
pleased to see these attentions to accuracy for the
soldiers westh is his honor, and his fame his chill
dren's inheritance"
This brave officer distinguished himself in the bat.
ties of the Rio Grande. An intelligent correspond
ent, and kinsnan Of Maj. Barbour, writes us, from
personal knowledge that he was ga young man Of the
highes, worth and Of great promise. He was the
son Of Mr.. Mordecsi Barbour's youngest brother,
Philip Barbour, Of Culpeper, who moved to Ken
lucky with his father in 1899. The mother of this
young man consigned him, in 1923, to Messrs
Mark Alexander and John j. Barbour of vir-
ginia. They put him TO school in Georgetown,
District Of Columbia; and, in ls29 obtained a
CADETS warrant for him. His father was then
dead. He lost his life in the campaign oflSl3, with
Gen. Harrison, where he commanded regiment at
the Thames, and where he contracted the disease,
which, year or two after, ended his life. The
father was great favorite Of Me-. Madison, and he
was n the habit Of relating many suecdotss Of him,

~ The Baltimore Patriot" republshes an extract
of letter from Washington, October 2lst, which
appears in the " New YORK Commercial We
pass over the other idle specuations which this
writer has woven from his brain, and which are
as gossamer and as brittle as the spiders webs.
We will confne ourselves to the following assertion
in the letter, which is important, only because it
seems to ountenance the other idle fables, which
have already been thrown into circulation about
General Butler. A similar statement appears in the
New York Herald: a.. autG. z ...zs

'I learn, to-day, that there have been received by
Taylor, impeaching the courage and conduct of
General VIM o. Butler, OF the volunteer force, at
the battle Of Monterey. '''@ VI
"We have had various accounts in private letters,
which were very unfavorable to General Butler; and
also an account going to show that General Taylor
censured his conduct the spot, in excited man
ner. General William 0. Butler has been a great
favorite with the democratic party" &C., &c.
The statement about official advices having been
received, &c, is destitute of any of foundation.
We state positively that dispatches have been re-
ceived from General Taylor about the seige Of
Monterey since the 25th OF September; and that
every word which the Secretary Of War has re-
ceived the subject Of General Buffers conduct at
Monterey has been published in the "Union, p in

velopmcnts he arrived at the conclusion that il was
duty which he owed his country to withdraw the
proposition which he had submitted. This was ac-
cordingly done by my note to Mr.. Pakenham Of the
30th Of August last. The President thus took his
ground, from which he will not depart. II the Brit

says:
"In consequence of my communications with Mr.
