from South Carolina, one from Louisiana,

of the volunteers who Joined the amy have
been discharged, and at least fourth OF

to allowing our brave soldiers to constantly
fight double, or three times their number, be-
cause they can do it! 1t would seem but an
act of justice and humanity, that our army
should, at the next fight, equal in number:
that of the enemy. Our brave troops viii

GIVE find the following communication
in relation TO the selection of Canal Trus-
tee, in the Washington Davies County,
Journal, and TO which the editor of that pa
per calls attention. We are pleased to see
Mr.. Carpenter thus highly recommended for
the office; he deserves all that is here said
of him and more besides:
To THE EDITOR Dear Sir: You are
aware that, by the act of the last session
of the Legislature, in reference &c our State
Debt, three Trustees are to be appointed for
the purpose of taking charge of the Wabash
and Erie. Canal and its appurlenances, Canal
lands and property, and to adopt and put in
execution such plans and measures as they
shall deem most expedient for the prosecu-
ton and completion of said Canal, etc. Of
these three Trustees, one is 10 be appointed
by the Legislature.
Now, it certainly will not require an argu-
nent to show how very important the seiec-
ton OF these Trustees may be. 1t is evident
from the duties they will have to perform,
and the authority they will possess, that rery
much of the success attending the completion
of the Canal ,riH depend on the appoint
ment, of suitable persons, to This Office
They must be active, untiring, honest and in
telligeni men; well acquainted with the rou-
the Of business attending such works, and
possessed Of unwearied activity and energy

of Evansville.
It's we'll known that he possesses perfec
familiarity with every thing respecting the
Canal. He has been one of lis warmesf
unhinching and untiring advocates; and has
by his single self, done more to bring abou
its present condition than any half dozen per
sons beside. His interest in its completion
his well known and long tried sagacity il
business, and his uncomfortable energy o
character, all point to him as peculiarly quail
lied for this office. These qualifications arr

fMPE tCIIMENT.-Suppose the coun-
Try should be well satisfied thatthe President
has exceed the bounds of his duty and au-
thoriiy, as laid down in The Constitution,
what is 10 be done? This may be serious
question. Mr. Webster in recent speech
at Boston, referring 10 the Mexican war,
said: E
''That the war was Presidential war, got
up contrary to the express provisions of the
Constitution. The fist that was heard of il
was from the assertion of the President that
the war existed. Texas had become part
Of the United States, and the boundary thai
had been claimed up ITO that time was the
river Neuces; all beyond that was actually
in possession of Mexico, had never been
claimed by Texas. But the President had i.
by great violation of duty ordered the Uni
ted States army TO push beyond it, and in so
doing he had committed what Mr.. Webster
considered as an impeachable offence. The
President had it in his power TO do such
thing. but had no right TO do it. BY the
Constitution he was authorized to repel inva-
sion, but he was not authorized to 60 beyond
the territory and invade anoihcr coun-
try"

MEXICAN RUMoR.-It was rumored yes
terday in Mexican circles, that the troops
which were on their way to San Luis Poiosi
from Saltilo (noliced as rumor in our last
number) have been ordered back to that
place by Santa Anna, who has joined them
with large additional force.-Eight tnou-
sand troops are stated to be on the eve of
marching from San Luis Potos to Tampco.
"A gentleman conversant with the country
and Mexican policy, hints TO US that if this
latter force crosses the mountains at lula,
(being the road to Yictoria) the design is TO
continue The march in this direction and op-
crate in the rear of Gen. Taylor; but should
they continue on the east side of the noun
tains from lula, (the road TO Santa Barbara)
their destination is certainly Tampico. He
likewise hints that much good might result
from having spies out in the direction of Vic
toria, to watch their movements. Santa An
ma, il is said. will have at Sallllo about 90,
600 troops, including regulars, volunteers
and rancheros.

THE WAR.

II has before been said that Santa Auna
ordered Gen. Ampuda TO retire from Mon
erey and retreat upon Salullo. A paper, OF
the Bird ult., the city of Mexico, has the
following: "Gen. Santa Anna foresaw this
disaster, and the night before his departure
from the capital he had a presentmept that
he should not arrive at Queretaro without
receiving lame ntable accounts. For this rea-
son he had sent instructions to Gen. Ampu-
dia that he should retire to Sallllo, Certifying
the pass Los Muert0s." This would seem
to settle the question, which we have often
heard discussed, as 10 the accuracy of the
report received from Monterey that Ampudia
exceeded his Instructions. His conduct will
be submitted TO council of war. Gen.
Arista is in the city of Mexico, also await
ing an examination into his military Opera
tons. The war is very destructive to Mex
lean military regulations.
Our purpose has been to give an idea Of
the activity which prevails in Mexico in de-
veloping the resources of the country for the
war and to convince the public, if possible,
that the whole Mexican nation is aroused
thoroughly, and if we would see a speedy
end put to these hostities, or even avoid re-
verses 10 our arms, we must put forth more
strength and call into the field more troops.
We will conclude our extracts to-day with
the following rough translation of circular
of Gen Almonte. 1t is eminenily calcula-
ted to infame the luminosity of the Mexicans,
and holds out to them in the end the most
deceptive hopes. 1t is obviously intended as
an appeal to the world as well as to his coun-
trymen, and we are in hopes it will teach our
own people how much in earnest the leading
men in Mexico truly arc in their determine
ton TO adopt the war with the United States
as the desperate resource for forming "A sound
national feeling, and overcoming the evils
which Mexico has long endured from intern
al strife and civil wars:
