about this unnatural War between two great
Republics. We are the friends of the peace

the friends of your holy religion, its h erarchy

For the church of Mexico, the tfnoffen ling
inhabitants of the country ana their property
have from the first done everything in my
power to place them under the Safeguard of
martial law against the few bad men in this
army.
My ORDERS to that effect, known to all, are
prec1 sc and rigorous Under them several A
mericans have a'reaiy been punishe! |, by fine,
for the benefit of Mexicans, besides mprison-
ment; and one, tor a rape, has been hung by
the neck.
Is this not proof of good faith and ener-
getic discipline? Other proofs shall be given
as often as injuries to Mexicans may be de-
tectel
On the other hand, injuries committe by
individuals, or parties of Mexico, not belong
ing TO the pubic forces, upon in ilvi;Iua s.
small parties, trains of wagons AMI teams, or
of pack mules, or on any other person or pro-

shall ia upon entire cities, towns or leigh

Let, then, all COOL Mexicans remain al
home, or at their peaceful occupat ons; but
they are invited TO bring in, for sale, horses,
mules, beef, cattle, corn, barley, wheat, flour

Wisely accept, this war may soon be happily

NAsHlNGTor', Feb. oath, lSl7.
lainpico dates OF tie 9th have been receiv-
ed at New Orleans, with intelligence of the
loss oil the snip Ondaka, about 30 miles south
OF iamplco, I.,nving on board the volunteers
under Co'.. De Russey. The troops and crew
GOT safely on shore, and have since arrived at
lar.,pico, except the captain of the ship. 1t
IS not known that he left the ship at all. 1t
is said, but not believed. that part 9th vol
unteers fell into the hands ofthe Mexicans.
On hearing ofthe loss Of the Ondiaka, the
steamer Undine, with the Sth company ofthe
3D. artillery on board, was despatched from
IamplcO to render assistance. The Undine
had not returned; but it was rumored that
this company were cut off by body of eight
hundred of the enemy's cavalry; and another
rumor is, that the MeXicans attacked the vol
unteers after landing, aud that this led TO a
dispersal of our forces and forced march to
Ianpico. These rumors are doubted, but
they came through three different channels.
Two ships were off Tampico, with sixty
troops on board. A report had been receiv-
ed ut Tampico, by a Commercial house, of Il
fierce encounter in the North West, between
the MeXcans and n portion of Kearney's
command, supposed to be Missourians under
Col. Price. Many are represented to have
been killed on both sides; but the Americans
were victorious.
Information has been received that ma
llgnant fever is prevailing in the Hospital at
Tampico. from which our soldiers are suffer
ing. 1t is pronounced by physicians mild
type ofthe yelo,o ferer, and is attributed TO the
lnordinate use offruit
Gen. Patterson issued orders in regard to
the eXorbtant demands ofthe Mexicans for
rents and dues, when all came down to a
reasonable value. The Gen. has information
that there was much neglect on the part of
the officers and crew ofthe Ondiaka, and will
keep them in custody until the matter is in
vestigated. Orders were received at Tampi-
CO on the 9th inst. supposed from Gen. Scott,
to get all the wagons in readiness. The
Quarter Master was very busy, and the wag-
ons at hand were sufficient to transport the
baggage and provisions the entire force at
Tampico, who are evidently preparing for a
long march.
LATER. Gen. Scott was 10 embark inn
nedately on his destination 10 Lobos, dis

tack on Vera Cruz, it was supposed, would
take place about the first of March.
News in regard to volunteers on board the

to have been made prisoners and all the Vol

The Great Question.

noble victory over the Slavocracy was a.
chieved in the House on the 18th. BY ma
iorty of NINE, OH a full vote, the Wilmot pro-
five votes changed would have carried the
day for Slavery. Could not Polk beg or buy
five more votes?-mOre, we say. 1t is said
that the requisite number had been secured;
but on Saturday the resolutions ofthe Wing
Legislature of Ohio reached Washington
they had been passed nearly unanimously,
and some of the locos, who had been fixed
by Polk, wouldn't stand fire; they bad to yield
to the voice of their constituents. Thus the
cause of Freedom and ofthe Free Suites was
saved: thus-by the Wing triumph in Ohio
and other States last autumn. Had not tie
Wings carried these elections, the SIavocra-
cy would have been triumphant now; Polk
and his policy of anneXing Slave territory,
would have been triumphant. Think of this
seriously: if the third party had beena mie
trvnger-ifthey had drawn of few thous-
ands more from the Wing ranks, so as to
have given the plurality to Iocofocoism, Sla-
very would now have taken its greatest stride
Suppose Ohio had gone locofoco-for the
party which insists upon "hlack law" no res
olutions against the SIavocracy would ever
have been passed Suppose that in New
Hampshire the third party had acted like the
same party in this Congressional district
that they had refused to join with the Wings
in wrestling the state from locofoco control:
who believes that in that case the three mem
bers from that state would have voted axainst

The Caledonia County Society for the i'm
provcment of Common Schools, held it Annu-
al Meeting at Peacham the goth ult. The
meeting was not as fully attended as desirable
still it was interesting and profitable
The President being absent the meeting
was called to order by the Secretary, and G..
b. Chandler was chosen President pro TEN.
The Society then proceeded to the choice
of officers for the ensuing year.
On motion, Messrs. Case, Shedd and Skeele
were appointed by the Chair Committee of
nomination, whcreupon the following gentle
men were proposed and elected;
G. B CHANDLER, Esq. President, r. n.

cording and w. c. BRADLEY Corresponding
Secretary.
Executive Committee: Mr.. J, X. Colby, J.
P. Fairbanks, Esq, Rev d. Perry,
Committee on Resolutions: w. G. Bradley,
C. G. Burnham, +. Chambcrin, r. Case.
Voted, That the time for the Annual Meet
ing of the Society be changed from the first to
the third Saturday in February.
Voted, To rescind that clause in Art. Sd of
the Constitution, requiring committee of
three in each town in the County.
The Corresponding Secretary then read an
interesting report, which was accepted, and
voted to Je published in the County papers.
Commmittcc on Resolutions was called for,
whereupon the following were read, and laid
upon the table until after the discussion of the
subjects previously proposed
Whereas, the subject of Education is one of
vital importance in republican form of gov
eminent, since it becomes the duty of every
citizen to decide upon all questions of public
policy and morals, and since this decision can
not be fairly made unless there is a Just COM
prehension of all the bearings of each que stion,
Therefore,
Resolved, LIST. That it becomes the duty of
every citizen who wishes we'll relative to the
future, to use his utmost endeavors to give
countenance and support to our present eff
cient Common School system.
Cd That it is the duty of parents to pro-
vide such buildings for their Schools as will
tend to the most healthy development of the
intellectual, moral and physical character.
Resolved also, That it is incumbent on the
teachers to endeavor to procure the attention
the parents to the condition oftheir Schools,
by securing their presence once at least dur
ing the continuance ofthe School.
Resolved, That our present School law is
ele vatiGg the standard of qualification of
Teachers, by acting stimulus upon them
in acquiring information relative to teaching,
and that it warrants the expectation of still
greater good
Resolved, That in the opinion ofthis Conven-
ton, Normal Schools under the patronage of
the State, are desirable.
Resolved That in the opinion of this Con-
yention the multiplieitv of Districts nv their
division, is a source of nnumerable evils, and
that an endeavor should be made to concen-
trate rather than divide.
The government of schools and the order of
study were then discussed in very social and
agreeable manner. The meeting, on the
whole, was profitable, and it is to he regretted
that there was not more general gathering.

THE LIT. GENERAL PROJECT RE.
VIVED.

1t will be observed by reference to the
proceedings of the House on Tuesday that the
project to create an office of 1t. General, once
killed in the Senate, has come up in new
shape in the House and been passed 1t is
course, new expedient to supcrsede Gener.
ais Scott and Taylor now in command. We
hardly think ii possible such a measure can
pass the Senate. There are some Senators of
the Locofoco school of politics who think
Scott and Taylor can fight just as well as if
they were locofocos, They earned their hon
ors and titles in 1919, while Benton barely re-
cruited few soldiers beyond the smell of Brit
