Corwin a,,d bis sneec1,.

Even decent subjects OF Queen Victoria are
ashamed of such men as IoHI Corwn, as would
seem from the following
" A correspondent of the Boston Courier wrNiOo
from Ogdensburg relates the following anecdole:
81 learned that yesterday a clergyman as he
professed 20 be; and undoubtedly was, passed down
the river in the steamer, and the subject o. con.
versation was this same Mexican war. He eI
pressed hope that every American now in MeIt
co would be killed or die of disease ;shis detesla
particular, was such that he was fool enough TO LET
out his party feelings on the subjeei 10 pafly Of
Engiisbmen. One Of the persons present asked
him if he professed to be an American, and enter
tanned such hatred to his own couutIymen, He
said yes. Then said his interroeaIor if YOU have
not decency enough TO keep such thoughts 10 YOUR
self in the presence of strangers and particularly
of people who belong 10, and hold allegiance 10
another COUNTY,, you neither worthy of lhe
name of American, nor fit to associate with Eng
lishmen. From that time forth the fellow held bis
peace, as no one would have any communication
with him. He was despised by all the passengers
on board the boat.''
And yet Corwin's Speech was published by
many of the Federal papers of this State, and it
is now held up by the Raleigh Register and
Hilisborough Recorder. as the very essence and
embodiment of patriotism! The clergyman spok.
en- of in the above anecdoe but re-echoed the sen.
timents of Corwin's Speech, and instantly his rea.
son was denounced, and the man scorned, BY
Englishmen! And if scorned and denounced by
Englishmen, what ought to be the treatment Of
such men at the hands of American ezeus}

We learn that Col Biggs sustans himself noby
before the people, and that he is in fair way 10
give Mr. Outlaw more signal defeat than he re-
ceived two years ago. A friend writing from
HEREFORD County says: j" Our prospects are of the
fairest character. The majority s0i be increased
unless am greatly deceived; Many persons,
whose feelings had been greatly excited by the
awful stories of the "cruel, ungodly, and un-
necessary war upon the poor Mexicans," after
hearing Col. Biggs, were satisfied" Col. Biggs
has faithfully and ably represented bis District in
Congress, and the people owe it to him, and to
the cause of the country TO reelect him. especially
as he is opposed by gentleman already once dis
carded and defeated by the voice of the same peo-
pie. Democrats of the Ninth District, your flag
is in strong and worthy hands; rally as one man
around the patriot who bears it do your duty, for
he has and is doing his Every vote is important
and we hope you will see that every vote is polled
Defeat in a good cause is no disgrace, provided
your, duty has been performed; triumph on this
occasion, will reflect equal honor upon yourselves
and your faithful Representative.

The last Salisbury Journal says: "We shan'
say what we think The result will be Between Mr.
Boydcn and Mr.. Boyle, but some say that Mr..
Boyden, in running his head against the Brusby
Mountain, has butted his brains out" Bru'by
Mountain means-Mr. Boyle, we presume, who
is plain farmer, man Of sense, and is said 10
keep MIR. Boyden quite uneasy The District in
which these gentlemen are running {both whigs]
is composed of the Counties of Ashe, Wilkes
Surry, Davie, Rowan, Irrdell, and CaIaRba, and
is known as the Second under the celebrated
Federalist Of the Massachusetts stripe, and viii,
if elected, no doubt go the full length with Cor
win, Giddings, Delano, and company; while mr.
BogIc is understood to be somewhat hberat in ms
views. and to be in favor Of prosecuting the Mexl
can war TO an honorable termination. We should
not be surprised if the Democrats were to vote fox
Mr. Boyle and elect him.

An Irish famine, relieved by our abundance.

The Observation-Disclosures.

On Saturday last the Telegraphic line was com;
pIeted to Richmond, and communications opened
with the Northern Cities. washington City ana
Richmond exchanged saIutations, and quite an
animated talk, says the Enquirer, was kept up for
some time between the stations at fredericksburg;
Alexandria, Georgetown, Washington City, and
the Richmond office. The Enquirer says: Our
citizens are not little surprised at the<despatch b
with which the posts were erected down Broad,
Nin,h and Main streets to the Office The posts
are Of white OAK stripped Of the bark, very large
and regularly tapering, some thirty feet in
length, and firmly sunk some FIVE feet in the
ground. The wire is very stout and substantial,
near l.2 of ON inch in diameter, and isolated by
passing through glass on the tops of the posts. "
We hope soon to get neSes By Lightning also,
as we learn that the posts already up this
City. BY the first Of September, We presume,
the line will be in full operation; and then we
shall be able to furnish readers with the latest

opinion that the story brought here byrseme one

The Sun of Anahuac Of the 9th inst. gives the
following account of the issue of Capt. Mayos ex.
peditien against Father Jarauta - 49,.
"Capt Mayo, United States navy, governor OF
AIvarado, as we have said in. a previous number,
ascended the Avarado river with the steamer Pc
trita a few days ago in pursuit Of renowned
priest, chief fthe guerillas, Padre Jarauta Capt
NJ went up the river about seventy miles to
town called CosamaIoapan, where Padre had cap
iured an American traders boat with two men,
and robbing 5000 from them; but when he arriy-
ed the Mexican had fled, after selling the boat
No resistance was made to the governor. He
hoisted the American flag, made the aicalde pay
the two hundred dollars and return the boat to lis
owner. - -
The Padre, before leaving Cosamaloapnn on Fri
day last, told the people that his intention was 10
go to Tesechoacan, and Hacienda of Nopaiapan,
for the purpose of collecting 500 horses, to mount
his men, at this time stationed in the town of Co
tasta, Hacienda of Naranjo, and Boca Costal-in
number about 600 effective men from these
places, he was to join guerilla chief from Ja-
iapa, Juan Chimaco RebolIedo, who is now in the
pass of the Haya, nine miles from Jalapa, with
$50 men, and collecting as many more as possible
from the neighboring country, for the purpose of
attacking our train on their way up. He has
positive orders to take no prisoners, but to.put to
death not only all Americans, but even every
Mexican that he can catch, that has in any way
rendered services to our countrymen"
Gen. Pierce had not left Vera Cruz when the
Palmetto sailed; but was expected to leave that
day, or Saturday, the 10th. =

T. O. McClannahan, Esq This brave and
accomplished young soldier, resides in. Oxford,
N. c., and was on visit to some friends; in this
place, at the time Gov Browns call on dMissis-
sippi for volunteers was received. Although a
stranger amongst strangers, he nobly stepped for.

name, in the brave company of Guards; who
crowned themselves with Iaurels, in the memora-

Mr.. M Clannahan's fate to encounter disease from
the very start, having been confined in almost
every hospital from Brazos ST. Jago, to Saltillo,
and in two instances his life was despaired of; but
whenever the disease was sufficiently subdued to
permit him to leave his bed, he was found trudg-
ing on his way to his company, and it seemed his
good fortune not only to be with them, but to rem
der a soldiers service, in the bloody battles of
Monterey and Buena Vista. We feel proud of
this heroic young soldier, being oursel g. native
Of good old Granville county, and we think that
his numerous friends in that county, should Show
their approval of his conduct, by some Substantial
token Of the high estimation in which his services
are held by them He contemplates returning

Ter eyerr Democrat Vote.

=. In this Congressional District where the l9e
mocruric majority is so large, and where divls
ions in our own ranks unfortunately to some ex'
tent exist it is important that every friend 70 regn
the nartr. should turn out and vote for Gen. Dan
ieI. LIE. us poll our full strength, and we have
nothing to fear: In Wake County the cause is
safe Our leading friends are already at work,
and they are determined to discharge their duty to
their party, by laboring and by voting for the
nominee Better, infinitely better to poll full
vote and elect the nominee than to peril his eiec-
on os BY by inactivity or to defeat it BY remaining at
home, and then regret that we had neglected Tor
some trifno reason, to turn out and vote for him.
In union there is strength; but where union can
no. be entirely attained if numbers exist as .ney
do here. then in numbers we have the power
which can ensure success Let every Democrat
in the Distric, devote one day-Thursday the 5th
of August-to the cause of his party and its prin-

From the New Orleans Della July 18TH.
Late from Buena Vista, SaltillO, DC.

We had the pleasure of q conversation with DIR.
Johnson, of Gen. Woors Staff who arrived In the
Palmetto, evening before last direct from Generals
Wool and Tayior's camp having left Saltiifo on
the 9th June. DR.. Johnson has resided a long
time among the Mexicans, and when the war
broke out was living in Durango. He was COM
pelled, however, with all the otner Americans
residing there, to leave the place; and proceeded
to the city of Mexico. After the battle of Monte
rey he determined to join our army, and accord
ingly started for Monterey on horseback. He
arrived at that place in January last, and immcdi-
ately attached himself to our army. "a: a.
DR.. Johnson acted as an Aid Of Gen. Lane at
Bucna Vista, and was severely Notwithstanding
been lanced and sabred, and otherwise 50 injured
as to make his recovery almost miracle. So,
DR.. Johnson reports that G,nsb Wool was en-
eamped on the classic field of Buena Vista, with
u force Of 27O0 men, consisting of the Virginia,
Mississippi and North Carolina volunteers and
Sherman's Wushington's and Prentiss's batteries.
Gen. Taylor is still at his favorite old camping
ground, the Wslnut Springs. Quietly waiting nnh
the Government furnishes him with men and
means to advance on San Luis Gen. Taylor has
with him the 10th regiment, Bragg's battery. and
two squadrons of dragons. At Camargo, Gen.
Hopping has about 1000 troops OF the new levies
About the 18th June Gen. Wool received notice
that force Of about 1000 cavalrV, under Gems
Alvarez and Minon, had left Matehuala aud ad
vanc ed within sixty miles of Buena Vista. This
party constituted the advance OF strong division,
which, it is reported by the Mcxicans, was about
to advance from San Ltns Potosi, under Gems.
Valencia and Salas. By the last accounts from
San LUIS, there were but four or five thousand
troops there, but Valencia expected to. be joined
by strong force from Zacatecas. We think The
swarthy General reckons without his host ;sfFhe
Zacatecanos shrewd, sensible peopfe They
are too good democrats, and like and admire the
Americans too much to take q very active part in
the war; IL a.
We are happy to see that our old friend Minon
has been liberated from the durance vile into which
he was thrown by Santa Anna, on account Of that
confounded love-scIape at Saltilo. He is,again
at the head of a cavalry force, and whenever the
opportunity offers, he will no doubt accomplish
something worthy of the reputation he acquired in
Yucatan. ;acz-
The citizens are generally returning 10 the
towns occupied by our troops. In SaiIioz and
Monterey nearly all the respectable families have
and everything goes on very smoothly
and quietly. The people generally are warmly
desirous OF peace, and begin to preferihe Ameri.
can Government to their own. Especiallyf in the
town Of Zacatecas pronounced Zachy-takeusl
does the ant-war feeling prevail to great extent.
At public dinner in that town sometime ago,
Gen Taylor and the American army were toasted
with great applause. ..es

We have been favored, says the Fayetteville
Carolinian, with the perusal of letter received
by gentleman in this place from Sergeant OF
the Cumberland and Bladen Company, dated
Monterey, June %, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts;
Our Regiment has suffered severely by sick
ness. The two Edgecombe companies have suffer-
ed more than any other companies in the regi-
ment-they were large companies when they left
N. Carolina, but both companies will not make one
now. Our company has since its arrival at Ca
margo, lost seven men, and we have all.the time
averaged from 10 to IL the sick list. Those that
have died are VIM. Caison, Rich'd Johnson, VIM.
