A VENERABLE LECTURER. Rev. Mr.. Her
vey, aged Ill years, is delivering temperance
lectures in New York. The Herald in MOTTO
ing his lecture, says:
The venerable and patrarchial advocate of
temperance, after further denouncing intemper-
ance, said he was born in Columbia county,
and was a minute man in the revolutionary
war-was with General Washington, and with
Fulton, He went hunting tories and Indians
and if they did not catch them, they went hun
ting cats. (Roars of laughter.) He was at-
forwards under different commanders, and had
to 90 on short allowance. At that time they
were glad to ret oak leaves for bed, and often
went without them. That was the way they
gained the freedom Of their country. They
did not then think that their descendants would
be blessed with such a glorious offspring. Cloud

a right to defend his own country, bet not TO 90

four in the company who could read four chap

The Rev. MIR. Ilervey then concluded by
prayer amid the warm admiration and applause
Of highly delighted auditory, conssting,it was

SPEECH BY GEN. BUEKuM. The follow
ing is an extract from speech Of Gen. Bun
kun, i'll favor of sd 30:
Mr.. Speaker-When | open my eyes and
look over the vast expanse Of this great coun-
try-when | see how the years of freedom has
caused it to rise in the scale of civilization, and
expand OH every side-when see it growing,
swelling, roaring like spring freshet-L cannot
resist the idea, sir, that the Gay will come when
this great nation, like young school boy, will
burst its straps, and become entirely too big for
its boots. Sir, we want elbow room-the con-
tinent, the whole continent, and nothing but
the continent-and we will have it, Then
shall the great Uncle Sam, placing his hat upon
the Canadas, rest his right arm upon the Ore
gon and California coast, his left upon the cas-
tern seaboard, and white away the British
power, while reposing his leg, like freeman,
upon Cape Horn! Sir, the day will-the day
must come.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. The Troy Wing re-
lates an awful death in the Cotton Factory of
G. w. Glass at Stephentown. A boy Ia years
old by the name of Green while tending the
picker in a room by himself, went to the room
below to extract the belt which had slipped off
and was wound around the shaft. While un-
winding it he was caught by the belt and was
carried over the shaft, upon which he was whirl-
ed around for seven hours before he was discov-
cred! The accident occurred between and I
o'clock, P NJ, at which time the other hands
left the factory, with the exception of one man
employed at night work. The wheel was stop
ped about o'clock on "Wednesday morning,
and during all this time the poor victim was
whirhng on the shaft. Every vestige of cloth
ing, including his boots, was Whipped from his
body IN the countless revolutions. His neck
was broken and his limbs and whole frame
dreadfully crushed and lacerated, His absence
had occasioned no uneasiness, as he was sup
posed TO have gone OIL fishing excursion; nor
was any thing known of the accident until 1
o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the door
of the room was opened by the boy father, and
the first object that met his gaze was the man
gled body of his child lying on the floor, where
it had dropped when the wheel stopped.

United States might conquer a the northern pro-
vince,, they could not conquer Mexico-that from
the spirit of the people and the sufiiciency of
their resources, they were invncible-that they
might take twenty towns, but they could not take
Mexico.
We considered this letter CT considerable i'm
portance when we perused it, bu, doubted the
accuracy OF these statements. We looked upon
them as the usual Mexican bombast Re cent
events, however, show that it was not altogether
an ebullition of Mexican gasconade, but that it
contained some admix,ure of truth
In looking over the copious correspondence,
and ex racts from the seat OF war, published In
yesterdays paper, we perceive that the amount
OF ammunition that came into our hands, by the
capituaton Of Monterey, as reported by tie
United States ordnance officer, was sufficient 10
answer the use of our army for pretty long war,
and that the Notifications in and around the city,
were constructed in the most scientific manner,
ana capable Of repulsing any foe that might at
tempt to take them, except one composed of such
maisriel is the United States army, under their
gallant general.
These results 60 to show that Almonte's
statements were not entirely without foundation.
1t must be acknowledged that we have
made great mistake in estimating the charac-
ter and resources of Mexico, and that unless some
change in the plan of operations be Immediately
made, and the most important points reduced,
that we have the prospect OF the war continuing
for length of time, unless the Mexican Con-
gress take upon itself to propose terms of peace,
acceptable 10 the United States government. We
have reason to believe the administration, are
impressed with the same conviction, and have
marked out change in the plan of operations,
that will bring about the desired end
This war, at any rate, no matter what its result
may be, will do more to raise the character of
Mexico as nation than any other event that
could occur to her.
