A HINr TO PosTMAsrERs.-A postmaster
in the interior of Pennsylvania recently had
Judgment given against him for the price Of
a subscription OF several years, to distant
newspaper, on the plea that he had no, CIV
en- sufficient legal notice to the publisher to
stop it, and had continued TO receive the
numbers for several years, and sell them
for the postage. The magistrate decided
that merely returning a copy of "John
Smiths" paper, with "stop this" written
on it, without pos, mark, or other indication
of locality, was not sufficient or legal no
tice, but a uritten notice, Nth name, place
and reason, must be sent to the publisher
and " iranked," that it may be taken ou
by him.

A PIONEER GONE.

The following handsome tribute 10 the
memory Of the late WILLIAM MuNRo, Of
this county, we copy from the Boonville
Observer.
Died at his residence in Howard county
No. on the 4,h instant, William Munro, in
the Gath year OF his age. The deceased
had been afflicted for the last two years
but was in his usual state Of health until q
few days before his death, when he was
taken suddenly i'll. 1t was now painfully
evident that the hand of death was upon
him, and he sank rapidly until its fearful
work was contaminated.
The deceased cmigrated from Kentucky
in 500, and settled near Fort Hemstead,
where he resided until his death. The pr
vations, exposures and perils incident 10 a
frontier settlement, infested with ferocious
savages, he encountered with untaltering
irmness and herois,n. He was often asso
ciated with the celebrated Daniel Boone, in
hunting excursions and often with him was
attacked by the murderous foes. The VIII
ter Of this has frequently heard him narrate
the thrilling incidents of the times.
Beneath his hospitable roof the weary
traveller always found warm repose.-
His many social virtues endeared him to
large circle Of friends, and gave him an
extensive influence.
He was warm and ardent in his attach.
ments, firm and constant in his friendship ;
urbane and gentlemaEly in his general in.
tercourse; while in all the social relations
OF life he displayed kindness, generosity.
and lnhexble rectitude OF conduct that won
for him an exalted position in the estimtion
and afieCtio Of all who knew him. In 1856
he made profession OF religion and united
himself to the Methodist Episcopal Chul CHI
where he remained an exemplary. active
and devoted member until his death. His
bodily Affections for the last ten years have
been severe; but they were borne with
true christian fortitude, and unreserved re-
signation to the dlspensations Of his Hea.
venly Father. And although death came
upon him suddenly,it found him prepared
6 His lamp was trimmed and burning" He
died As the Christian dies, full Of faith and o.
the Holy Ghost.
Bereaved relatives and friends can not bur
feel the deep chasm that this overwhelming
visitation has produced yet the consolnl
assurance that for him "to die was gain
enables them 10 say,
He has gone to the grave; it were wrong to de
ploro him,
When God was his guardian and guide,
He gave him, and took him, and soon will restor
him,

The American arms have achieved another
glorious and most brilliant victory. Outnum-
being Gen. SCOTS force materially, and &C.
cupying positions which looked mpregnable
as Gibraltar, one after another OF their works
have been taken today, FIVE generals, colonies
enough TO command ten such armies as ours,
and other officers hnumerabe, have been
taken prisoners, together with 5000 men, and
the rest OF their army driven and routed with
the loss Of every thing, ammunition, cannon,
baggage train, all. Nothing but the impos-
slbiliiy OF finding a road for the dragons to
the rear OF the enemy's work saved any part
OF Santa Annals grand army, including his
own ilustrious person.
Among the prisoners is our old friend La
Vega, who fought with his accustomed gal
lanry. The other generals are Jose Maria ia
reno, Luis Pinson, Manuel Uoriaga, and Jo-
Sc Obando. The names Of the colonies |
have not been able TO gather, Nothing saved
Santa Anna butthe want of dragons on the
other side Of their lines. As it is, his travelling
coach. together with all his papers, valuables
and even his Dooden leg, have fallen into our
hands, together with all the money of his ar
my. No one anticipated. when they arose
from their hard 5lvouack this morning, such
a complete victory.
The loss on both sides has been heavy

files and dense chapparel by our troops, is

MARTINARURG va,

The news OF the brilliant victory Of Cerro
Gordo has involved a number Of our Loeoioco
contemporaries in dilemma, even more anu.
sing than that produced BY the failure Of their
calculations in regard TO the late Virginia cleo
tous. To withhold the expression Of some
thing like admiration, and gratitude for the
iustre which this new achievement Of the hero
O! Niagara has added TO the American arms,
would exhibit degree Of envy and malice TOO
palpable TO escape the dullest apprehension
And yetthis hero is the Identical Soup Scott, !"
so lately the subject Of Locofoco sarcasm, and
and whose incapacity TO conduct "the Presi-
dents war;" was so glaringly manifest to the
late House of Representatives, that they were
fam to resort to rery considerable stretch OF
their constitutional powers, in order to save
the honor Of the American Army, by placing
Lieut. Col Benton a, its head. Ths Union
has lately discovered that Gen. Scott is a
''marvelous proper man." bu, the rather awk-
ward attempt of the Enquirer, to make the
amende honorable, without taking back any
hing" as the schoolboy says, is somewhat
laugha5le. We are glad 10 perceive that some
others Of our Democra,icf friends are beginning
10 find out that Gen. Scott is not the "imbecile
old granny" they took him for. and that he has
condscted the campaign in Mexico, alulos, as
well as Lieut. Gen Benton himself could have
done

THE VOLUNTEERS IN MExIco.-F'rom all
that we can learn the Washington Union"
will be gr:evously disappointed in respect to
therenswal other engagementsb by many ofthe
volunteers, whose term Of service IS about 10 ex-
pre-. 1t is not supposed here that single regi-
ment can be formed out Of all the twelve
months men now in Mexico. The volunteers
who won the glorious battle of Buena Vista
are on heir way home. One of the Kentucky
regiments is already at the Brazos. Col JET
ferson Davls's regiment win soon be there and
the Illinois and Indiana troops will soon follow.
We learn from officers and men that there is
no disposition TO re enlist. The accounts from
Gen. SCOTS column are no more satisfactory.
The determination 10 return home, as soon as
their enlistments expire is universal. The Of
fcers are as liule DESTROYS as the men of re-
manning in the service; SO that Gen. Taylor's
Buena Vista army, with the exception of a
few regulars, and large portion of Gen.
Scott's will shortly leave the field.
The reason for this universal desire 10 quit
the service has been explained TO us. The
men of Monterey and Buena Vista assert, and
with good reason, that the aurels that have
been won by them have been garnered by the
Government TO decorate other brows. They
say, and with truth. that no valor, no sacrifice,
no victories of theirs, can ensure their promo
ton or protect them against being overslaugh-
ed by inexperienced officers, and subjected to the
command ofpolitical appointees. They point
to the miserable remnants ofregiments which
they led TO the army with well-iled ranks and
swelling aspirations, in token OF the hardships
they have suffered and the perils they have
encountered, and then refer to the army regis
ter 10 see how such services are rewarded
They feel that the qualities which they have
exhibited in front of blazing batteries are not
the ones which ensure rank, and they retire to
possess them.
The second Kentucky regiment will return
without its Colonel or Lisutenant-C Colonel
the first Mississippi will bring home lis Cello
mel and Lieutenant Colonel upon Iltters; the
Illinois troops leave the gallant Hardin where
he fell and Co! Yell comes back no more al
the head OF the men from Arkansas. These
noble regiments have melted away under the
seventies OF 4 campaign in which, ilthey h9ve
not won the lasting gratitude of their country
men, they have won pothing.--.N O. PIC
