bv the Union of Saturday that the Post Master
General backs out of the position which he has 50
unustly taken in his instructions to his subordi-
mates in relation to the TRANSMISSION Of transient
news papers by mail. He says he 'has feh hh,

intention Of Congress to continue the policy OF
favoring publishers as well as well as subscribers

ALABAMA. The Mobile Advertiser claims the
election of three Wings TO Congress in that State,
with a chance for fourth. 1t recommends Mich
olas Davis as the Wing candidate for Governor
Reuben Chapman is the Democratic candidate
but he is stoutly opposed by Joshua l.. Martin
the present Democratic Governor, who was a
stump candidate last year, and was elected by
Wing votes.
In speaking of the canvass for members of Con
gross, the Advertiser says:
We set down the election of three Wings as GER
tain. and an even chance for more. We shall
elect GAYLE in 1.-THE rst) district. billiard will be
elected in the second and Murphy in the fourth
These we consider certain; and, in the third
should Cottrell, the late Loco Foco member, be
the nominee of his party, he will be beaten by that
glorious young Wing. Sam. Beman We predict
however that Cottrell will be thrown overheard
on account Of the vote of censure in which event
the result will be somewhat doubtful
The Advertiser comes out cordially in favor OF
Mr.. billiards reelection, we notice, although il
saws il deems his vote in favor of the Tariff OF
1886, an act almost inexcusable,' 1t however
adds, that in its opinion, the tariff question has
been set to rest for quarter of century by the
Mexican war, the expense of which, it thinks
will call for tariff high enough to suit the most
ultra protectionistS.'

ring the war; otherwise widely diferep,
result might have taken-place. The nece.si-
ty ola thorough military education. when
cold lead is flying about in earnest. is exem.
pli6ed in the military history of the General
whose name heads this article. His first ex.
ploit was while in command at Camargo, TO
build breast work and enirenchment, in
which the bank was made to slope on the
outside and with ditch on the inside-re-
versing the order of military tactics and fur
nishing excellent accommodations TO an
enemy to carry a work by storm. Gen. P.
was afterwards ordered to Join Gen. Scott
and at the battle OF Cerro Gordo lis ignor-
ance and bluEders not only made him ridic-
nlous, but was mainly the cause of serious
loss ofvaluable lives. The officers Of the ID
tennessee regiment have published state
ment from which it seems he did not know
how to countermarch a regiment but ordered
one to the attack with the rear in 'front.'
that SO far from leading he did not even fol-
toto-ihat he ordered the assault at the time
and under circumstances when success was
hopeless and neglected to bring up his sup =
porting column after the regiment had
charged up the hill-ihus leaving it exposed
10 The charge OF thirteen pieces of cannon
and 1900 muskets. The regiment fell back
after dreadful slaughter and the loss Of
large number Of oificers-the only repulse Of
our troops during the battle. They say he
deceived Gen. Scott bv renortino that he had
reconnoitered the ground aud that there were
no Notifications where the enemy were en-
trenched; whereas they were defended by
three strong batteries. The affair." which
duplicates other officers, will cause Court
Martial 10 be called and until these charges
are investigated, Gen.P. will not probably re-
turn TO the aimy-he being now on visit TO
Iennesree. 1t is to be hoped that our New
England brares, Generals Gushing and
Pierce, will be nurtured and trained proper
