COL. DONIPHAN's SPEECH.


We subjoin the following extract from the
speech Of Colonel Doniphan. at ST. Louis, on
the occasion Of the public reception Of him and
his brave comrades. II is matter 10 be ponder
ed on. The country may well ask Of the Pre-
sident-why are these ,hiugs2
Fellow citizensi What have we gained by
this war 2 Of Gen. Taylor can safely speak,
having been through all his lines Of operation
He has gained four distinguished victories
perhaps the most brilliant victories that have
ever been gained on this continent-and ye,
he has gained nothing. Why is it that the
efforts Of our army are like the efforts Of a
ievered patient, who spends all his strength in
spasms. and as soon as they are over, is pros
srated 2 Alter the briilian, victories which they
have achieved, they have been forced, for want
Of men, ammunition, money and cOnveyances,
10 lie idle until the enemy have been able to
gain strength anew, and then the battles have
70 be fought over again. In our victories, no.
thing has been gained. Suppose Gen. Taylor
remains where he is--will he have gained
anything He has been there ever since last
September; and unless some better means are
afforded him, he will remain there until next
Octoberl The expense Of this war is enormous
have been told that 81 ,0oO, 600 week has
been paid to sustain the war, and yet General
Taylor lies in the very position where he was
eigh, months ago, and there he must lie.
"Altho1ghyI have not been over General
Scot,'s line Of operations, yet it is clear that
he cannot sustain himself from bis want Of
means. He may take the city Of Mexico, bu,
he cannot sus,ain himself ,hen--take il he may,
bu, il is impossible for him to keep il. For
Santa Anna, although he was stoned when he
went to the city OF Mexico, from some cause
has gained new strength, (some have thought
that it arose from Gen. SCOTS proclamation
and he will soon have an army sufficient TO
cope with General Scott"

Sin: In conjunction with several other members
Of the Medical profession gave you, somo years
since, certificate Of the good quality of your
Mineral Water. With "a commendable jealousy Of
your own works. lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should havo led to neglect you have
again applied to me for an analysis of several spec-
mems Of Mineral Water, purporting TO have been
made after different methods or BY different persons
the particulars Of which not furnished, the only
distinction apparent being in the color Of The bottles
l have examined the several specimens submitted,
md find as follows: The water in tho ,ohite glass
bottles is free from all impurities that in the green
bottles contains sensible quantity Of suphurc acid,
which is evident to tho smell and taste, well to
the proper chemical tests. From recent inspec-
ton OF your process was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
TO the water were lead and sulphuric acid. Ofleal
find no traces whatever in any Of the bottles; the
amount Of snphurc acid present Ia the green bottles,
though small, is objectionable and must be regarded
Us an mpu,ty as the Mineral Water processes to be
free from all such almixtures therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot.
ties sent to mo was pure, and in my opinion sauta
~, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for q common beverage.

revoulionize the country from American sway.
The chief acalde, and others al Vegas, who
were peacefully disposed, were trying 10 prevent
such movement, but ii is evident that nothing

HARRISON COUNTY ELECTION.

From The following article in the Clarksours
Scion OF Democracy, there would appear 10 be
possibility oil new election, 10 avoid the trouble
o! a contest before lEs Legislature. In any event.
however, we cannot doubt that Joseph Johnson,
Esq, will be the worthy Representative OF Hartl-
son county:
On Thursday week The annual reg mental pa
rade Of the Militia came of al this place-when
The Regiment was drawn up in close order, Coi;
Johnson proposed 10 Mr.. Duncan, thai ne would
resign his seat, and submit the question again to
The people or if he would not agree TO This p[opo
sition, that he would resign any how, il Mr. Dun
can would mol claim or gel The seat BY ms iesigna
lion MIR. Duncan declined his proposition and tod
The Colonel he would inform him as 10 his course
al future day. We believe both parties are
preparing TO go on with The contest; large num- n.
Der OF names on the polls OF both gentlemen nave
been selected as illegal votes. II is not doubled
by Democrats, that upon close scrutiny OF The
pors. Col. Johnson's majority will be increased.
