'E To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter of importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest Of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at a cheap rate. He
has purchased printing establishment, so
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the Office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings Of Congress.
Wewish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, al
the same price.
While the 6 aCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, Instruct
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended SO tc
blend variety, amusement, and instruction
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratified
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject Of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re.
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers
Nothing Of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

Recruiting for the Army was going on at
Vera Cruz; but only few men, and those of
the lowest sort, were found willing to enlist
In the City of Mexico, Government expresses
arrived frequently from the Army; but as moth
ing of their contents were allowed to transpire
Of late, the impression was that the Mexicans
has met with disaster.
In regard to the large English squadron upon
the Pacific, Mr.. Dimond is of the opinion that
those vessels had been sent out with reference
to the Oregon question. He does not think it
probable that they have any instructions respec-
ting the war with Mexico, or the seizure ofCal-
liornia in consequence Of the war. Touching
this matter however, there is room for doubt
The British fleet off Western Mexico was quite
large, and if the other fleets in the Pacific Join
it, as was expected by some, it would be very
formidable force.
Mr. Dimond, previous to leaving, drew up and
forwarded to the Mexican Government, re-
monstrance against the order requiring our ciG-
zens to leave within eight days or withdraw into
the interior. The sixteenth article ofthe treaty
between the United States and Mexico provides
that, III case ofwar, the citizens Of each country
living on tie seaboald shall be entitled to six
months, and those residing in the interior to l2
months notice to leave the country.

Many families are leaving this city for the in

GEN. TAYLOR. The Louisville Courier, in
speaking of Gen. Taylor, says:
He was raised and educated in this county,
and always has considered it and regards it as
his home. His father, Col. Richard Taylor,
was an officer in the Old Continental army, and
died at his residence near this city about ten
years since. He was an elector in this district
for Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and for Henry
Clay the first time he was candidate for the
Presidency.
Gen. Taylor at present owns several valua-
Bile houses and lots on Wall street, in this city.
He also owns large plantation in Mississippi,
and smaller one in Louisiana.

\ the 18th inst, submitted by you to this de-

1t appears that the aggregate estimated ex-
Eendtures of the War and Navy Departments
br the fiscal years terminating on the 30th OF
Fune 1916, and the S0th of June, lS47, amount
b $23, 952, 904, over and above the estimates

ktimated for state of peace, there would re-
hahn on the LIST of July, lS47, balance in the
[seasury of s4,332,44l or, Deducting this
balance from the excess of expenditures above
Estimated by the War and Navy Departments,
here would result deficiency of $40 ,620, 463.

EMBALMING BoDy. A stranger from Allie
gany county, N. Y, who died at Pittsburg a
few days since, previous to his death requested
that his body might be sent home to his family
This rendered embalming necessary, which OPP
Grafton was performed by DR.. Fahenstock.-
The Chronicle says;
He first severed the articles of the neck, and
then proceeded to inject solution of arsenic,
highly impregnated, into each severally, until
he became satisfied that the fluid had found its
way into every vain and avenue throughout
the entire body, The arteriesiwere then tight.
ly closed by cords, to exclude the air, and the
body adjusted in its shroud and coffin, without
any apparent mutilaton. This is said to be
an entirely new process of embalmiug, and as
such is worthy of attention. Several medical
gentlemen, we understand were witnesses of
the operation, and attested its practicability.-
1t is said that this mode of embalming will
keep the body perfect for many years.
