FROM TIE. A R MY.

/ We copy the following additional infor.
nation from a St. Louis Republican extra
of the 9th instant:
The two most important features of the
news by this arrival are, first, the retreat
of Gen. Taylor upon Saltillo and Monterey
without n general action, and, secondly, a
revolution in Mexico, with the expulsion of
the President, Comes Farias, from power.
Kendall Of the N. o. Picayune resides in
Tampico, after examining the various Mcxi-
can reports in that city, states confidently
that "Taylor has fallen back without a gen.
.eral action. That The revolution in Mexico
has succeeded: Salas being President and
Santa Anna acknowledged as Commander
in-Chicf IF the NJ xicdn armies. Santa
Anna contemplated an attack on Gen. Tay-
Tor on fhr 2:St. ult. in his camp al Aqua
Nueva, having previously cut off his re-
trcatto Monterey BY interpreting Gems Min-
ion, Torrcjor and Urea, in his rear. In
these designs, however, lie las failed by
the retreat Of Taylor.
In addition 10 the Instruction Of the
.Mcxicars in New Mexico, Commodore
Stocks'on states that a revolution broke
ont in California. headed by the prinrir.aI
Territorial officers, who after swcar!n" al
legiauce TO the u. s., conspircd to cxprl thr
from the entire country. Gy ii ST.
InultaLeous inSurFectiOn, and had succeed
in taking the CITY Of Ciudad los Ange-
los and other places bordering on the de-
partmcnt of Sonora. The Americans, how
ever, were using vigorous measures to re-
cover these places.

Mr.. EDIroR:-An article which appeared
in The Journal Of last week calling upon
Major Curry to come out as a candidate fol
the office of Clerk of the County Court. has
met with the cordial appreciation of many
citizens in the community.
We undertake 10 say that there is no one
on tie long list of candidates who have
presented their names before the pablo in
connection with that office, who is better
qualified to discharge its duties than Major
Oury. He has heretofore acted in the ca.
parity of Clerk in this county for a short
time. He is man of stern unbending intcg-
rity and is well known throughout the Coun-
ty to be essentially a business man.
We wishto know whether the Major will
consent TO become a candidate-should he
announce himself, we can assure Inn that
he will receive tie support of
MANY VOTERS.

CHIXALRY.

On examining the Police Reports since
JAN Isl, 1917. there have been IA cases tried.
of men for whipping their wives. and they
have been uniformly fined either three or
five dollars, so that it has got 10 be common
law with the Chivalry Of Butt;Io. that Il
man may horsewhip his wife. ii he has I'VE
dollars in his pocket, Just enoreh TO coreT
expenses" or. in default of the ready. rather
than debar him Of any oil the privileges oil n
Tree country, if he will consent 10 go into the
County Boarding House, (vulgarly called
iaiI.) for twenty DAYS, and amuse the inmates
with his deeds OF prowess, sing The obscene
song, and utter the blasphemous Jest, II will
answer every purpose.
TIE probability is, that nothing like hall OF
the wives who have been whipped have dar-
ed 10 claim the protection Of the law, for
fear of being murdered af'' rwards Now.
if this is true, we have one hundred women
whipped iC Buffalo in three months, and four
hundred in one year.-Wnh all orr nice.
national sense Of right. we should think such
outrages good reason for declaring war A.
gansi any nation, and indeed it would be the
hest reason given for any war since our
country was discovered.
But let us look little into the cause OF
this fiagellatoD OF ones vile. man
should love his wife, even as his own flesh;
and as general thing, when there are no
counteracIiny agencies Of this law Of nature.
we see the husband throw himself between
the midnight assassin and his wife, rush into
he devouring flames 10 save her, and leap
into the wafer for her rescue and Tie man
who does not these is branded rs Il coward.
Then what is this disorganiZer? we hesitate
no; 10 say it is alcohol. We have looked al
these things tor years. and have never known
a man whip his wife who did not drink the
maIdening cup. There may have been such
a case bu: we have failed 10 discover IL. But
how shall we express our amazement, that
our citizens should allow few lazy people
10 sell the drink that causes so much misery
and thus TO pickets of $4,000 per year, III
tie shape of taxes. and rob our city oil liz
good nalne.-Butfalo Commercial.

TIE NEW POST oFFIcELAw.

30 Tar as we can learn, men OF all parties
are denouncing The present Post Office ar
rausement. The course that has | c n pur
sued by Congress for some time past OIL this
subject is most disgraccful. Nearly every
session has made some material alterations
III the law 50 that every thing has been in an
unstable aud fiuctuatins state aud no plan
has been u.ued long enough to give it Il
lair trial. Under The old law the Northern
and Western States paid Into the treasury
100000 more than it cost TO carry our
mails while the South at the same time. on
account OF the Ignorance Of her citizens a.
lii some of the States nearly one fourth OF
efiee whites Can neither read nor write,
aud the enormous expense of Carrying the
mails here, for cOlored men are prohibited
By the laws.ot the United States from doing
this, aud when work is dune there by white
citizens it is dearly paid for. fell Short Of
payins for carry Ing ber own mails $500 900.
The North Logan TO complain Of this large
tax TO support slavery, reform was called
Tor and new plan was adopied which was
doing well but the members Of Congress,
with only EIGHT DOLLARS day. could
not pay their own postage aud this must be
wruns out Of the hard working men Of the
North and for the purpose of raising money
to carry OIL the accused Mexican War, ouI
county newspaper publishers NUT be heav-
lily taxed and the privileges heretofore en-
joyed of sending papers 30 miles free Of post
age taken away, and The most outrageous
act of all is TO require every individual v hn
may wish to send paper TO friend TO pay
three cents POSTAGE FIVE were compelled
TO pay for ouly carrying our own mails and
the business was conducted as il ought to
be, we believe that two cents postage on let
ters, the same as in England, and all news
pepers without any postage, would nearly
pay the expense. But supposng it would
not meet the expenditures would it not be
as well to expend few Thousand dollars in
circulating Intelligence among the people as
TO expend more than one hundred million
