ERRATIJNT.

In MIR Streeter's article, published in
the Age Of last week, headed, "The Reg
lister Again." an error occurred in
printing, which we hereby correct viz
instead of the words, -"What credence
would be given 10 the man, who has al
ready violated his oath of fidelity &c. &c,
it should have been, according to the
copy, "What credence would be given to
the man, who has already abused his oath
Of fidelity" &c. &c. We find by recurring
to the article in manuscript that the
word violated" was erased by Mr. Stree
ter, and the word "abused" plainly writ
ten by him, directly over the word so
erased; but, in the absence Of the editor,
and the hurry of business, we did not
read i, by copy, as we should have done,
and hence the error was ours. ALA.

From the seal Of War.-The telegraph re-
ports from New York Sunday, 10 p NJ, 10 the
Albany Argus that vessel arrived at New Or
leans on the LIST with news from Brazos 10 Dec.
81, three DAYS later than we have had. On the
18th Dec Gen. Taylor left Monterey for Victoria
Gas before stately, and on the 18th an express
was received there from Gen. Worth at SaltiIlo,
stating that Santa Anna was within three day S
march of that place with 10000 to 1000 men,
aud asking rcin(orcements By our last accounts
an express to the same purport reached Brazos on
the oath from Gen. Patterson.
The telegraph report adds
"Gen. Butler, who was left in command al
! Monterey, had sent TO Gen. Marshall at Camarso
and Gen, Patterson at Montomorales to send
troops without delay, and the latter started at
once for Monterey. Nlontemoraes sa small
town about IS miles from Monterey on the road
to Iampico.
There was report that Gen. Patterson had en-,
tered Victoria, but this was doubted. The road
from Monterey 10 Camargo was lined with troops
en- route for Monterey, in all four regiments, and
stirring news will come soou.
All the squadron at "ampico was well on the
Goth and the health Of the troops good.
The three southern and Western mails are in,
but no news, or any local news

EXPLANATORY REMARKS.

READERs:-I would remark, that the
part of my article in the Age of last week,
relating to uoting &c, was intended mere
ly as a retort, to charges or destinations,
which | was told, appeared editorially III
the Mercury of the preceding week; from
which | would have 1t inferred that the
Town Clerk would be as likely to smuggle
in a vote, as | should be to DO as had been
charged upon me; both of which rerc
wholy imprObabie; not that he, or any
one else did purposely put in vote that
it might be reckoned as mine. 1t is pos
sibIe vote might remain in the box after
1t was turned. In regard to the next sem
,ence am told that making returns of
names of Cergymen for Registers, is not
included in the duties of Town Clerks;
and if i, is so, there was no abuse of oath,
as Tom Cierk. even if Mr. H. had omit
ted the two names. | cheerfully correct
the mistake, "two clergymen," being
since informed that one of the names was
accidentally omitted, by the printer. |
make these remarks, TO prevent any UNI
favorable impressions. r. S.

~ PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

| The message of the President, recommending
the appointment ofa Lieutenant General of the
army, is given beow-I0 The Senate and HOuSe
| Of Representative:
In order 10 prosecute the war against Mexico
with vigor and success, it is necessary that au.
lhority should be promptly given by Congress 10
increase the regular army, and to remedy existing
defects in its organization. With this view, your
favorable attention is invited TO The annual report
OF the Secretary of War, which accompanied my
message Of the Slh instant, in which he recon-
mends that ten additional regiments of regular
troops shall be raised, 10 serve during the war.
Ofthe additional regiments of volunteers which
have been called for from several Of the states,
some have been promptly raised, but this has not
been the case in regard to ALL The existing law,
requiring that they should be organized by the
Independent action OF the state governments, has,
in some instances, occasoned considerable delay,
aud it is yet uncertain when the troops required
Gun be ready for service in the field
1t is our settled policy to maintain, in time of
peace, as small regular army as the exgences
Of the public will permit. In state of war, not
wnhslandng the great advantages with which our
volunteer citizen soldiers can be brought into the
field, this small regular army must be increased
in its numbers in order to render the whole force
more efficient.
Additional officers, rs well us men, then be-
come indispensable. Under the circumstances Of
our service, peculiar propriety exists for in
creasng the officers, especially in The higher
grades The number of such officers who, from
age or other causes, are rendered incapable of
active service in the field, has seriously impaired
the ofiiclenc, of the army.
From the report of the Secretary Of War, it ap-
pears that about two,,hirds Of the whole regi>
mental field officers are either permanently or
necessarily detached from their commands on
other duties. The long enjoyment of peace has
prevented us from experiencing much embarrass-
ment from this cause, but now, in a state Of war
conducted in n foreign country, it has produced
serious injury to the public service.
An efficient organization of the army, composed
of regulars and volunteers, while prosecuting the
war in Mexico, it is believed would require the
appointment of general officer 10 take command
of all our military forces in the field
Upon the conclusion of the war, the services of
such an officer would no longer be necessary, and
should be dispensed with upon the reduction of
the army to peace establishment. recommend
that provision be made, by law, for the appoint
meut Of such general officer, to serve during the
war.
1t is respectfully recommended that early action
should be had by Congress upon the suggestion
submitted for their consideration, as necessary 10
ensure active and efficient service in prosecuting
the war, before the present favorable season for
military operations in the enemy's country shall
have passed away.
