An order from Canalcs was found in the pocket
Of the AIcade of Guerrero, who was captured BY
Lieut.. Bee, in which that robber declares martial
law on the RIO Grande, and calls upon every
Mexican capable of bearing arms 10 murder every
American without quarter, whether armed or not,
This bloody decree is dated San Augustin, April
4, and the reported shooting of sew eral Mexicans
in retaliation for the murder of one of orr men at
the rancho of Gaudaloupe, is made the occasion
of it. Every man under 60 who does not take up
arms within eight days is to be shot as traitor,
and this includes even the priests. Thus The
guerilla system, and war without pity, is pro-
claimed by the military rulers of unhappy Mexico.
What inratuulion, to refuse repeated offers OF
peace what wickcdness TO proclaim the sangulna-
~ code Of The savage!
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1847-05-27

The Spanish paper in New Orleans, La Patra,
publishes letter to the effect that Santa Anna
has issued, from Orizabu, over one hundred COM
missions to as many guerilla officers, aulhorising
them to command small itinerant parties of fifty to
two bundled men each, Some Of these have
already commenced their operations on the Jalapa
road.

A LITTLE WOMAN.

In little precious stone, what splendoi meets the
eye5j .
In little sugar lump, how much Of sweetness lies
So in little woman, love grows and multples-
You recollect the proverb says, A word unto the
wise"
A pepper-corn is very small, but seasons every din
ner,
More than all other condiments, although It's
:prinkled thinner; .a... -.
Just so little woman Isl if love will let you win
her;
There's not joy in all the world you will not find
within her
And as within the little rose you'll find the richest
dyes, r
And in little grain Of gold much price and value
lies, TO-. s..
As from little balsam much rich odor doth arise,
SO in lille woman there's taste Of paradise.
The skylark and the nightingale, though small ard
light Of wing,
Yet warb!e swecter in the grove than all the birds
that sing;
And 80 a little woman, though very little thing,
Is sweeter than all other sweets, cen flowers that
blow in spring. -' ->

water; but seeing a hogshead Of strong lime
water standing near, he jumped into IT,

Of any injury whatever. Thus chance, 10

From the Richmond Southerner.1
GEORGETOWN, D. c., A,


or course you are aware of the fact that
there is Cotton Factory in successful opera.
ton here, owned by Mr.. G. Bumford. 1t has
about $500 spindles and "a looms, SO Of which
are in operation. The cotton made at this fac
tory is in good demand, and meets with ready
sale, which proves that it is under the direction
of persons who know their business. Mr.. Vim
cent Taylor is employed by Mr.. Bumiord, and
the character he bears DIS man Of enterprise
and promptness is guarantee that while un-
der his direction success is sure. The water
power is obtained from the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, at the rate Of two dol.
lars an inch. Mr.. Bumford has the RICH, OF
$50 inches, but rents part Of i, out, being more
than sufficient TO work his large factory. One
fact is worthy Of notice-,hat is, the water
right here is five dollars an inch less than at
Lowell, and one dollar less than at Patterson
which makes it stands thus: Georgetown Two
dollars an inch, Patterson three dollars an inch,
and Lowell seven dollars an inch and am
Informed that property could be obtained for
mill or factory sites at such prices as should al
least induce persons DESTROYS of entering into
the business TO take look at Georgetown be-
fore purchasing elsewhere. The Potomac,
from the tide water TO three miles above, mas a
fall of 80 feet capable of being thrown into
he canal. which is sufficient to propel the ma
chnery Of as many factories or mills as posi-
bly, could be built in or about the place. Per-
sons engaged in the business are more capable
Of judging Of the advantages from these facts
than am. r~E
Thereare two large mills in this place, one built
BY the late Thos. J. Davis, and the other by A.
Ross, Ray, s. Brother, and another about be-
ing built by Mr.. Robinson. These mills run
from 10 IL burrs, and the machinery is moved
by the water from the canal, There are others
Of a minor importance but all add 10 the pros
perity Of the place Of course. 1t is only 10 be
regretted that there are not at least dozen
more; but all have there reasons for not invests
ing their money in such pursuits and am
inclined to think that Georgetown is too close
10 Washington for healthy action by its own
capitalists. 1t appears 10 me that there are too
many depending upon government investments
instead Of applying their means to pursuits that
would be profitable and at the same time bene.
fetal to many persons of a poorer class: we
want few enterprsing capitalists 10 set the
ball in motion and then the prosperity of
Georgetown would know no bounds, for in
few years il would outstrip many places Of
more than three times its size.

(From our own Correspondent

READING, "a. sept! c, 1917.
TO the Editor Of the National Whig:-
] observe in the North American and United
States Gazette, from one Of its Washington cor
respondents, some very severe structures on the
President and his travelling cabinet. The justice
of the remarks is manifest to every fair and i'm
partial mind
The impression produced by the President and
Mr.. Buchanan on their Northern tour, has not
been productive Of much good, politically other
wise nor has either secured to themselves much
political capital by the expedition. It is generally
believed, here, that Mr. Buchanan has changed
since the death of Mr.. Sila, Wright; and this
state Of things will be productive of severe heart
burnngs in the cabinet. The time has come when
each member is looking out for himself: each will
feel the castle of their erecting is rot built
very stable foundation and that il is now totter-
ing, ready to fall their universal cry will be-
Saare qui peut! and the unexpired term of the
administration will not be as placid and as equab!e
as may seem, 10 the casual observer. Mr.. Polk
no doubt can, with truth, adopt the sentiment once
uttered by MIR. Van Buren,, when congratulated by
q political friend on the smooth current Of his ad-
ministration he replied, "You mistake !" with a
smile peculiar to himself, (for he was dissembler
by nature, smiling when he was in the greatest
pain,) "mine is not bed Of roses" What must
be that of Mr.. Polk's' The friends of Mr.. Bu-
chanan will no doubt nominate him this will in
crease the political embarrassmcnts which sur
round him in this State. His recent letter is here
considered as an opening with the Southern
Democrats. On this subject more will be said
anon. '.-.
had intended to have said something on the
subject of the thriving state of this beautiful in
land town; the high state Of mechanical improve
mcnts the great extent of the coal trade of the
Reading railroad; and the iron interests of the
State all Of which shall be done by
A MECHANIC.
