BREADsrUFrs TRApE-Four and grain, it will be seen
by our weekly market report says the Baltimore Amer-
cam are at unusually high prces-such, indeed,
not fail to bring market whatever surplus may yet be
left in the interior. The influence of these high rates
will in all likelihood, operate remoter points of pro-
ducton that usually do look to the seaboard for
market From the comparatively limited supplies of
wheat and corn coming forward, the opinion held that
the stocks in the adjacent regions pretty generally
hausted.
WEEKLY ExpoRrs--The foreign exports for the week
ending yesterday show an aggregate
OF Flour 22,356 barrels.
Corn meal 3603 barrels.
Wheat 2o,279 bushels.
Corn 400 bushels.
These aggregates constituted mainly the cargoes Of six
teen vessels the market value of which, round
bers was about three hundred and tacenty thousand dol
lars
There are now in port hrtyttco vessels loading with
breadstufs for Europe.
The cRoPs-The long protracted drought is seriously
affecting the growing crops If the country not
blessed with rain the damage scarcely fail TO be
great both in extent and degree. The drought has cut
off the usual green pasurage of the season, and the
prices of all kinds Of marketing are very high

Polk COUNTY, east Tennessee May !, ls47
DEAR Knowing the interest you feel in the present
political contest in Tennessee, will give you brief ac-
count OF what have and heard within the last few
days. The candidates for governor are now in East
Tennessee and spoke at Athens on Goth nltimo, and
Madsonville on the 27th. The number of persons in
attendance was unexpectedly large at both places, and
the strict order observed and the attention paid to the
speeches, unexampled The wing candidate, Gen
Neil s. Brown, took the lead, and for hour and half
threw defiance at the President and the whole hosts Of
sub-treasury but little troubled--the tariff was ''nohing
much; : but upon the great war question, the gen
eral out-taked a camp meeting" The wing can
dldafe evidently did not desire to talk about this
great questions but the decided an-war stand taken
by OF the wing leaders here, compelled him to 'go
it" But while he did spout and "saw the air. in opPo
son TO the of the administration this subject
you can hardly imagine how hard he held back from the
true ssuehe ustce the proprety, and the necessity OF
this war But he did say that was unnecessary and
dent 10 bolster up his administration, &c Governor
Brown in his reply, did things up 1rown He gave the
tariff and war questions a thorough examination, in
the presence Of the peopeand most successfully aud
eoquently vindicated the administration upon these i'm
porant measures. The matter and the manner of Gov

country stump debater superior TO Aaron Y. Brown
The governor, you know. is the personal and political
friend Of worthy President and stands up noby
and eoueny defence OF all the great measures Of the
democracy And, for the effect Of this canvass leave it
to the 9TH August next to disclose with this prediction
That A. V. Brown will beat Gen N. S, Brown less
than 5000 yotes-mark that. In the 81 congressional
district Crozier candidate for reelection Samuel
Smith, esq is the democratic candidate Although this
one Of the strong whg districts OF the State yet the
probability is that Samuel Smith will be able to head

made man The democracy support him earnestly, and
his chances for decidedly fair In the ID dis
trict lin which is Little Massachusetts, the late
Der, Hon. W. NJ Cooke, is opposed by his uncle, Gen
John Cooke. So they have family quarrel in the
big whg district, some clever democrat might make
good race. The prospect for democratic Legislature is
most laering and shall send democratic senator

may have to sell better and people are

We do not understand either the tactics the logic OF the
Baltimore American" Its policy is TO retire upon the
boundary of our own esablshmenthe boundary OF the
Rio Grande, including California the Paci6c"-to de-
end that boundary by the force of arms and yet not
attempt TO terminate the and settle that boundary
by ga specific treaty with Mexico. The American Is,
therefore, opposed to vigorous prosecution OF the war
to the march, of course upon the capital TO any oppo
sition to the guerilla warfare by Texan rangers, or
any other description Of efficient corps In other words
we must retire without making the deepest impression
we can now effect upon the people of Mexico We
must retire without awaiting ourselves OF all the advan
iages which possess. We must abandon all the
strongholds we have acquired must relieve her
ports from the pressure of blockade of occupation
relieve her people from all the fears which our
successes actual possession OF her Strengthens
calculated to inspires and we must retire under the
"imputation on our arms which her Dragging and In
fauated people will be TO ascribe TO us. we
must retire under the apparent apprehension OF her
guerilla system, with recent victories all abandoned,
and our work but half done We must not avail our
selves of our present advantages TO end the war by a
specific treaty" of peace but spin it out for ten years,
perhaps--mantain a large military force for a much
longer time 10 defend the boundary which we assume,
than if we had settled that boundary by treaty of peace

The Baltimore Patriot has not the slightest authori-
ty for the questions which il puts TO The War De-
partmcnt may have less occasion than il formerly had
for corresponding with General Taylor, because Gene
raj Scott is there in command but it is entirely untrue
that the department has not "aken any official notice OF
the dispatches from Gen. Taylor for long time" We
thought that question had been put to rest when we ex-
posed the errors of the National lnteligencer" 1t is
untrue, as insinuated by the Baltimore Patriot" that
the department has not seven replied to Gen rs despatch
announcing the victory of Buena Vista" We understand
that his letter was answered. both by the Secretary OF
War and the Adlutant General and that the former
pressed the thanks of the President to the general his
officers and his men, in the most animated and eloquent
terms Full Justice was done to memorable battle in
which less than 5000 troops, and most of them voua-

that this despatch SO full Of the best feelings for the
