INTERESTING RuMORs.

On yesterday mornings Southern Cars came
a passenger, direct from Charleston. He re-
ports tina, just before the mail.boat left, on Sa.
turday afternoon, April 81, Il steamer had arrived
from Havana with intelligence, that lie City OIL
Vera Cruz and Castle OF San Juan d. Ulloa had
fallen, with loss Of eight hundred Americans
General Scott being badly wounded. He said
that The news was believed in Charleston We
give it for what it is worth. 1t may be true
though The New Orleans papers OF The latest
dates refer TO a declaration of General Scott,
thai the attack would mol be made for some days.
We hear OF no extras being brought yesterday.
While on this subject, we refer 10 The specula-
tons OF The Savannah Republican on The man.
ner in which the Castle is TO be taken, remarkins
that the walls are so far from shore, that the et
fecls Of ordinary preaching batteries would be
quite uncertain. The editor suggests that as the
walls are partly composed OF soft porous stone,
into which round shot will sink 10 a considerable
distance without causing The surface 10 crumble,
the hollow Paixhan shot would produce decided
impression by burying themselves and then e1-
ploding. This, doubtless, was he case when
The French feet stormed the Castle. Their shells
buried themselves in the soft. porous coral rock
Of which the walls were constructed, expo-
ding and tearing them 10 pieces. But, since
that period, we learn, the Mexican Govern
ment have al heavy expense capped The
walls with the hard, solid granite of our
own Hudson river, so as 10 render them I'M
pervous 10 shot or shells. Still, deadly havoc
may be done by throwing heavy shells and shot
over The walls INTO The castle. We presume that
the magazines and works in the castle are not
sufficiently strong to resist such heavy metal.
The Charleston News thinks that another me-
lhod spoken OF by The Republican, that Of esca-
laGe from heavy boats, has probably been adopted
"Saiors are the best men in the world at thing
OF This kind, and we should not be surprised 10
hear, BY our next adyices that the castle has been
carried by boarding By our intrepid tafs."
We had imagined that the policy would have
been, by cutting eff The supplies OF food ard water,
10 slarye the besieeed into a surrender, within
lew weeks al tarlhest. Bu' Gen. Scott may &C.
sire 10 emulate The glorious achievements Of zen.
TayIor, and, not content with "mastery inacl'Vi-
ty," may allow our gallant sailors and soldiers a
lille "ho, work" We have seen another plan
Of attack alluded to-viz: 10 occupy high sand
hill. and from thence silence The guns on the
Southeastern baslions o; the city and castle
and then, by Simultaneous movement oil The re-
eulars ard volunteers, storm the city. by making
breaches, North and South Of the city. A lew
days, however, will bring us news oil The capture
Of The castle Speculation, in the mean time, is
thrown away.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
~ A LITER ID. IL r. A n II
OF GOOCHLAND.

The most amusing phenomenon OIL Inc DAY is
The eager zeal with which many OF the Wing
press have run up The name of Gen. Taylor Tor
The Presidency, suddenly killing The hopes Of their
once idolzed CLAY, Scott, Mclean, Cri'Ienden,
aud other distinguished Wings, 10 whose election
they declared The country was 10 owe lis saliva
ton The Wings do every hing for expectancy
and to clutch 'lhe spoils." Gen. Taylor may be
a Whig-bul his political principles have never
been laid before The public, and he has taken but
lule interest in party campaigns. de is

nefiss of free trade and canno, be regarded as an
advocate oil protective Tariff. We hare, more
over, recently heardhi Whigsery denied and this
intelligence has produced no little alatm with
some of our city Wings.
But, be ii as 1t may, admit Gen. Taylor 10 Re
Wing Of the "straitesl sect" the Wing party, in
bringing him forward Tor The Presidency exhibit
the rarest inconsistency. They have denounced
the war as unjust, unnecessary, infamous" as
a war OF aggression" no better than ''rapine,"
and our gallant army as "awless invaders. -
Gen Taylor has been The hero q This war; and
their bitter assaults, aimed at the President, could
not but reach the victorious General. These
same Wings, however, throw up their caps Tor
him, now that he has won glorious lanrels, and
lake 10 themselves the credit and The fruits Of This
infamous, God-abhorred war;" Can a patriotic,
intelligent people fail 10 see through the lranspa-
rent veil which covers The molivesot The Wing

But, TO cap the climax of their Inconsistency,
The Philadelphia u. S. Gazette, Wing, endorses
the suggestion Of a Wing, who proposes "Hones'
John Davis" OF Massachusetts as Wee President
on Gen. Taylor's ticket. This is Ike same Fed
eralsi, who opposed his country in the last
war with England-and who actually roted
against the bill 10 furnish men and money fol

Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, ls47.


We lay before our readers to-day one of the most
important papers ever addressed TO the People Of
the United States. Involved by the Executive
Magistrate Of the country in the evils of calami-
tous war-a war deeply injurious as well 10 the
national character as TO the national prosperity,
domestic happiness, and public moras--a in
stgated and urged forward by the petty pursuit of
party ends-the crisis has drawn forth from the re-
tirement congenal TO his advanced age the vene-
rable ALBERT GALLATIN, and impelled him to adj
dress his countrymen, probably his last counsel,
on the momentous subject of the war. Mr.. GAL
LATIN, we believe, is now III his eighty
year, but every reader will be struck with the I'M
diminished clearness, vigor, and even elegance
which distinguish his style. Having long passed
the usual term Of human life, he has no public as
prations but to leave his country pursuing the paths
of rectitude and an honorable prosperity TO pro-
mote this end, and inspired by patriotic spirit
and momentous question, he now comes forward
The voice OF such man, in such a cause, cannot
be raised in vain. 1t must arrest the attention of
the most Indifferent and give pause - even to the
most obdurate Of party zealos.

ORIGIN OF THE WAR.-The New Orleans DeHa
in an article on the origin and prosecution Of the
war with Mexico, takes the following views, which
we have no doubt expresses the opinion of deci-
ded majority of the intelligent portion of the Amer
lean people:
We have never (says the Delta) +" concurred
: i'll the view embraced by President Polk and his
friends, that the real and the just of this
was the invasion of our territory by the Mexicans
We regard the statement in Mr.. Folks message
that American blood had been shed on American
soil as an extravaganza rhetorical flourish, at
tributable, perhaps, to the excitement of the occa
sion. The country between the Nueces and Rio
'Grande never was, in any just sense Of the term,
Texan or American soil. Texas had claims to
ii, but those claims unsettled, nadjudcated'
The Delta, it must be remembered is Democratic
authority.

ANTl-WAR MEETING.

public meeting held at Cincinnati on the
24th ultimo, composed of citizens not only of the
first responsibility, but citizens of all political par
ties, the object of which was to express its opinions
in regard 10 the and character of the Mexi-
can war, and opposition to its further offensive pro-
secution. Much eloquent speaking took place, and
the proceedings resulted in the adoption of Pre-,
amble and Resolutions strongly condemnatory of
the war, unjustifable, unnecessary, and uncon-
stitutional in opposition to its further prosecution
by invasion; and urging the withdrawal of our ar
mics to proper line, and there await the negotia-
ton of treaty Of peace and boundaries. The re-
solutions are eloquently and lorcibly drawn, and
do honor to the ability of the penman and the lofty
patriotism Of the meeting We will endeavor to
find room for them in our next paper.
