Cen. scott and Mr.. Polk.

The following is given as the origin of the
recent controversy Of Gen. Scott with the Pres
ident and Secretary Of War;
Il appears that Scott wrote letter 10 ono Of
the Senators from Virginia, in answer to an ap-
Plication to. him to use his influence with the
President in behalf of an officer who had beeu
rejected some time ago by 1.-THE Senate, mainly
through the instrumentality Of the Senator in
question, Iwho had since become convinced
that he did him injusrice) and in that letter, af-
ter passing high encomium upon the officer,
he proceeds 10 say that be has no influence
with The President, and that his, (the Presi-
dent's) political prejudices against him are too
strong to permit him to expect justice at his
hands. The letter also contains other severe
reflections upon the Executive.
This letter was given to the officer, and being
a strong testimonial in his behalf, he, without
reflection or without having read attentiyely
any other part Than that relating to himself,
gave 10 to the President. Iis contents left no
doubt soon the mind Of the latter that the in
sinustions in General seoti's letter Of the alsl
NAV, were intended for him.

Design of the Administration. /

The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more American, one Of the most reliable letter
writer's in the capital, says:
The dismemberment of Mexico is The design
of the Administration, and that not only BY the
inv ision of California, but by seizure and pos
session of the country beyond the line of Tam
pico on the Gulf of Mexico, and the same par
allel on the Pacific. This seizure embrac esihe
richest and most valuable provinces of Mexico
1t includes oil OF California, from.the head to
the cape, and not alone the provinces border
ing on the Rio Grande. Parts of Jalsco, Qua
dalaxara and Zacatecas, and all of Sonora, Du-
range, San Luis Potosi, New Leon, Chihuahua,
Coahuila, andTamaulipas, are to be the fruits
of This conquest.
The Government here are ready to settle the
question now, if Mexico will yield up the
country l have named, or consent to run line
from the Gulfof Mexico to the Pacific, on the
line have named. All this is in contemplation
now, secretly but seriously; and the regiment
raising for California, oEwlach gave yon the
first notice sometime since, is the frss fruits Of
tie expedition. =

Latest from Rio Grande.
cAMAEGo TAKEN

The steamship Fashion, Capt. Fullerton, az
place she left on the 2lst. We have not re-
ceived our letters by this arrival, but we learn
verbally that there is a. general movement OF
the troops of the Rio Grande. Gen. Taylor
was still at Matamoras, but he was sending for
ward the recruits as fast asilis means of trans
portation.would permit him TO Do SO.
Advices had arrived of the taking of the tow
of Camargo. Six companies of the 9TH Regi
] ment entered that place day or two before the
Fashion sailed, without firfngsa gun. These
companies we're under the command Of Captain
Whiting and others. When the U. s. troops
arrived at Camargo, Col. Carrabajal was on the
opposite side Of the St. Juan river. He wit.
messed the entrance OF the troops into the town
but offered no resistance.
General Taylor had received reports from re.
connoissance parties, who reported only three
hundred troops at Monterey. The general i'm.
preston in the army was that there would be
no resistance offered to the "A merican forces
this side of that city. No preparations for an
attack of the town were made.
The absence of ,erything that indicated re-
sistance on the part Of the enemy had led to the
belief in the army that the war was at an end.
The impression wasthat negotiations for peace
were on foot. There was no other way Of ac-
counting for the apparent suPineness Of the
.Mexicans.
Reports had reached the camp that Paroles
was afraid to leave the city of Mexico-his
presence there being necessary to keep down
a threatened revolution.
Occasional broils between the Mexicans and
Texas Volunteers occurred. The regular sol
diers e1erted every means for the protection OF
the citizens, who Mere promised security and
support incsse they conduct themselves in a
peaceabIe and inofensive manner.
There was a rumor in camp that Mr.. Lums-
den and his party had been insIeePted and cut
OF by Indians. The report waysot generally
credited.
The volunteers were suffering from dianh@a.
but Otherwise were well.

thread the sunny paths Of life,
Mid beauty's proud array,
But the spell that lent charm to. all,
Has mist like passed away.
No more the thrill from mingled pulse,
The eloquent soft sigh,
Nor the unbidden tear Of JOY,
That dimmed the gentle eye.
Yet ofttimes in my early dreams,
In some bright, fairy isle,
Comes one with the low gushing voice,
And the old, gladstone smile;
And hand In hand, we wander on
Amid the fiowery glades,
Till with the nights starred legions bright
The joyous vision fades.
Oh sadly flit the hours along,
When that warm light departs;
Which, like the dawn on Eden, rose
With rapture al our hearts:
Oh many blossom, richwe Gull,
As through the world we rove,
Butth fairest is the rarest flower
Tis only once we love. +.

what Mr.. Hannegan says now.

w nat Mrs Hannesan says now
We recently copied an extract from the
speech Of Mr. flanagan, Of Indiana, in the
Senate, in reply to the extraordinary revelations
made by Mr.. Haywood, Of North Carolina,
about Mr.. Polk's views, in which the Indiana
Senator consigned the President to depth SO
profound "that the hand of resurrection could
never reach him" The supposed stage or
things came to pass, and we were curious
enough TO inquire of the Union what Mr.. Han
negan saidnow. The official journal is silent;
but Mr.. Hannegan has, it seems, spoken. The.
Columbus (Ohio) Journal says:-
The Union wilIqno give the Patriot the de-
sired Information But we can answer its in
quiry on The te.t and highest autaority. In con-
versation recently in "a MIXED company, Mr.:
Hannegan, without any attempt at conceal
ment or disguise, intending it for the public
oar, remarked as follows:
's.Mr. sPolkeis greater traitor than eper John
Tyler vas! His treaehery to the Democratic
'artyi is ten thousand times more base, Infamous
md mercusable, than Matof John Tyler oas to
Whigs. lie is utterly unworthy Of confdence.
The truth is not in him, andhe can necer again
eeure the support Of any considerable number Of
he Democratic partyv
The morning after Mr.. Haywood made his
peech in the Senate, and made the assevera-
ions which denied, the President sent for me.
Z scas his oien voluntary act, The interview
vas unsolicited on my part. He then declared
0 me, most solemnly and unequivocally, that
ur. Haywood had no authority ,chateuer .tor. the
he made that they s6ere entirely gtd-
satots, unjust and m,.tounded-uat he ssould
yFer his right arm to fall from its socket, has
land to be wihered, before he ,Ooald consent 10 a
reaty on the,49h parallel, or on any line short
y Sd 40!!r'
We may not have given, to tie very letter
ind point, what was said by Mr.. Hannegan,
,ut it is as near as the recollection of gentle
men Of undoubted veracity, who were particu-
ar to note every word in their memories, can
approach. The inquiry of the Patriot is an
'wered, and that it is answered correctly, Mr..
Hannegan himself will, we think, admit with
,ut hesitation.
This is bold language even from Mr.. Hanne-
gan; partial as he is to that style which is de.
the language of the West asssgoing
d strong" But though the official Journal
was silent as to what he did say, now that
what is said to be'his speech, is given to the |
,ublicsit will surely feel itself called upon to |
ieny its authenticity, or repel It's allegations.
